V21Y OTA update starting April 23rd

andrewNY · Apr 23, 2012

As michael.usavage noticed, T-Mobile will soon be pushing V21Y as an OTA update. Please use this thread to keep track of experiences with the OTA update. (i.e. reports of anyone getting a message that an update is available, experiences flashing, etc) Note: You need to be on the stock firmware to get the OTA update.

That is a good question. We will only know when the files in the two V21Y .kdz files are compared. I tried to access the V21Y .kdz again from LG's server http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP999DW/ATMODW/V21y_00/V21Y_00.kdz but I got this:

I'm sure it is too early but the software update check button still displays back the up-to-date status message from the server for me. I'm stock V21e.

Correct, until the alternative ROMs are updated to support the new baseband, you won't be able to use them and still make phone calls.

If roms update to new Baseband will we have to or will we still be able to use them with v21e? I will not have access to a computer for awhile to do update

You should get stock recovery and be on stock rom in order to update.

I successfully updated using the kdz tool directly from cwm+bionix rom.

This is completely unnecessary. Just load up your stock rom/nandroid and run the update. CWM will be wiped regardless.

As did I.

You just need to be on a 2.3.3 ROM.

The OTA is being released slowly with a new batch getting it each night during the next 2 weeks. Give it time.

Funny that people were saying we'd never see another update for the G2X since it had been EOL'ed. Then, when V21Y appeared, people started saying we'd never see it pushed out as an OTA. Just goes to show that nobody knows what they're talking about.

I'm glad that LG finally stepped up to the plate and delivered a usable stock Gingerbread ROM, although I'm not sure I should be too congratulatory considering this is the ROM the G2X should have launched with. One can only hope that the G2X does receive an ICS update.

Say the G2X won't get ICS and, according to you, it will. Consequently, the G2X won't get ICS.

No that's not what he's saying. It's that nobody here has any information to make a decision, so anything regarding future updates is pure speculation.

The link GTWalling has shared also has some release notes. After updating myself using the kdz, I can definitely attest to the improvement in GPS performance. Dramatically better. I now lock instantly and generally stay locked. I had lots of GPS difficulty in the past using nearly all the ROMs available through XDA including 2.3.3 roms, CM7 roms, CM9/AOKP roms, and P95/2.3.4 (Tsugi). I had also tried various regional GPS.conf hacks. While I miss some of the features of the custom ROMS, a working GPS is far more useful to me. Plus, my money is on Kwes to release a 2.3.4 stock based ROM!

That's good to hear. I've hated the GPS on this phone, I exchanged it twice with T-Mobile hoping to get a phone with a decent GPS. I considered going for a third exchange within 30 days or whatever the time-frame is to get a different model as a replacement, but none of the phones at that time impressed me. So I've been biding my time waiting for T-Mobile to get a good phone that I could upgrade too. If this baseband does the trick, then I won't feel so bad about waiting a while longer for an upgrade.
