If you own a P999 and didn't update in time to get the latest baseband from LG's Update utility this guide is for you. Windows XP compatibility mode isn't used so people such as myself who have Windows 7 Home Premium can follow this procedure. I am a Wind Mobile user and while the forums have enough information on how to do this I decided to compile a concise guide to save everyone some time.
Note that this will remove your cwm recovery installation if you have one. You will have to nvflash your phone again. And of course I am not responsible for any repercussions that may occur by you following this guide.
You are now running T-Mobile gingerbread with the v21y baseband! Now you can nvflash cwm recovery again and install your ROM of choice!

- Backup all apps + data.
- Download the cwm backup stock wind firmware, a kdz file with the v21y baseband and the vbscript installation archive.
- Extract wind firmware archive in clockworkmod/backup.
- Boot into cwm recovery.
- Clear data and cache.
- "Recover" wind firmware from backup.
- Boot into the new wind firmware.
- Extract vbscript installation on PC and follow the directions from the download page. There's only one thing you do different: don't change the "Diag" menu to "EMERGENCY". Diagnostic mode is for phones that are powered on, emergency is for s/w update mode (volume down + power).
