Okay the first thing is to go to stock (rooted) 2.3.3 this will work for unbriking and everything.
G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash The original thread can be found
here.
This is good in case you brick or want to upgrade, you go to a lower version so LG tool let you upgrade.

[QUOTE="ILUHA_89, post: 17258229, member: 4234630"][COLOR="Blue"][B]ROM for recovery G2X under the NVFLASH [/B][/COLOR]
This method necessary!
If the device is not loaded and not firmware in other ways! (If you downloaded the wrong firmware in the device)
I took the unpacked program files KDZ and added to them NVFlash and created BAT file!

After that, I recommend to firmware device with help programms KDZ or LG Mobile Update[/QUOTE]
Now we need to download the kdz files.
The V21Y_00 update (LG T-Mobile branded Android 2.3.4) can be found
here and the
Original thread
Use this file for upgrading to the newer baseband.
For downgrading go to this
thread on the first post, if you have a T-Mobile phone download
this one if not the the other.
From this
thread download the
offline tool
This tool will let us upgrade or downgrade.
Now the thread provide instructions but many people get lost even with the pictures because there are basic yet important steps he misses.
1-) Unzip the tool.
2-) go to start menu and look for wordpad, do a rick click and run as administrator.
3-) Opend wordpad as administrator, from it, open up the “host” file is under C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ or %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\ at the bottom add
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com.
4-)open cmd.exe as administrator, cd to the unzipped directory and run Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs
To open cm or wordpad as administrator you have to do a search in the menu bar and then a right click and select "run as" or "run as administrator"
5-) The script will install
1. MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser, let it do it.
6-) The script will also run
2. “windows enabler.exe”, on the status bar (usually right lower corner) a new icon will show up, do a left click and make sure it says on.
7-) 3. Enable the phone’s “USB debugging” mode (menu>settings>applications>development>USB debugging), connect the phone to PC and wait for drivers to be loaded.
4. Run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" if the script dont already start it. It usually does.
9-) Despite of what the original guides says, the only thing you need to change is select the kdz file.
10-) Press "Normal web upgrade test" > upgrade start >
11-) Select: Clear Phone Software update registry, Select "Different Country" and select your Language. Click <OK>
12-) Ignore any message saying to check the internet and run again, this is good.
13-) Wait until it finishes. If it gives any message that the phone is not connected or something like that, disconnect it, turn it off, remove battery and plug it back holding "Volume Down" key. (Automatically goes to Upgrade mode).
That's it. The same process to upgrade or downgrade.
The last step is to flash cwm. Use the link I provide in this same post.
