I was on stock GB 2.3.3. then i rooted my phone for the first time today. i was planning to install custom ROM 2.3.4 Phoenix. then i read somewhere that i need to be on the old baseband. and i saw a guide to do that. i did the same.
I purchased ROM Manager. i tried to download ROM. it asked to do a backup, and i did that - within ROM Manager. then it showed me few available ROM's. and i clicked the Mik's CM 7.1 and installed it. but there was no network. Wifi was working.
So, I tried to do a restore. but it said i can't do that because Clkwrkmod Restore is not installed. I installed it using WiFi, but it didn't work saying there was some files missing. then I thought of downloading 2.3.4 Phoenix to overcome this situation, hoping that network will comeback. i downloaded and installed it. but still no network as well as no WiFi.
What should i do now? is baseband an issue here? Pls pls.. anyone help. I know i did some big mistakes..
i will be more than happy to go back to even Froyo 2.2, my original stock ROM. i need to get network working.

Hi guys,
I flashed my SGSII into the leaked 2.3.4 firmware and installed the CF-root based on the KF2. After that my WIFI does not work anymore. No matter what I tried the WIFI just refused to work. I tried to flash back to KF2 but to no avail. I am now at original firmware XXKF2. But strangely, my Kiesair can work. So I am guessing the problem is software based. Please help!!!
*edit* I reflashed 2.3.4 firmware and installed villainrom 2.0 exactly as pulser's forum page instructed. Still no luck. Please help!!
Please help!!
same here!
after 2.3.4 no more wifi (villain and litening). back to KE2 and from there with KIES to KF3.
still no wifi.

Hi Deanwray, please forgive my lack of forum skills. : ) I can get the icon and iconnect to WIFI with all relevant parameters like subnet mask, DNS Server and IP address showing up on the status of the connection. I can transfer data through KIESAIR and I can tether through WIFI. But I can't surf the web nor use any application that needs a data connection. They will just try and try until they give up.
I just flashed 2.3.4 firmware and installed villainrom 2.0. I think that somewhere along the steps in installing the villainrom, I might have missed something. I will try to reflash the root kernel from chainfire and then try again.

Because you need to reflash the darned ROM which you have screwed with the non-working patch. Read!

Well, flash a full stock ROM via KDZ and move on. When you have done some reading (which clearly hurts your brain), come back with some non-PEBKAC issues. While you have mismatch between your baseband and ROM, you have no GSM and data. It is written in the howto, but then again, too long and boring to read, huh?
Bye.
Hello ppl. I have flashed to new baseband w/ Cyanogenmod 9(lurpohip) and franco's newest kernel. I can call and send text messages, but data doesn't seem to work. Would appreciate help. I've gone through both how-to's pt. baseband LGMDP.exe. Also did a full data wipe before installing the rom.
I noticed some NVRESTORE NV_FAIL_S errors when I changed to new baseband in LGMDP.exe though.. Any ideas? Tried to change 3 times, same errors occur.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for being a noob, but I have been searching for 2 days.
Unfortunately, CM team has removed some frequency from sources and now, with some carrier (eg. Vodafone or 3 IT), data connection doesn't work. I have the same problem. The solutions are:
1. Not use a CM rom
2. Use old baseband with patch for CM.
3. Wait for a fix

Ok, I'm in a real fix here. I have an LG Optimus One P500, with rooted stock Gingerbread (2.3.3), and a .35 baseband.
I used this guide to try to switch to the old baseband (.32) because most of the ROMs that have been developed support that baseband.
In the guide, I followed the instructions, and the software automatically created an .NV2 backup file. However, when it came to RESTORING that file, I got an error, saying failed. Now in the guide, they said this was curable, as long as I disabled the LGE Virtual Modem, which I did. At the time, my phone was in Emergency Mode (Yellow screen with text "Emergency Mode! ). Here's where (I think) I went wrong:
I disabled the Virtual Modem, and then pulled out the battery from my phone and rebooted, I tried running the Program again, but got the same error. I tried rebooting my PC and trying again, again same error. I also tried going into Emergency Mode and trying again, this time it said NV backup not found. I tried backing up a recovery image I had made with ClockwordMods Recovery. I got back the recovery, but still no GSM.
Please help me, I have no bluetooth, no FM radio, and most importantly NO GSM

Sweet. I now see that you hadn't tried an old baseband rom. So flashing ComicXperia (which is an old baseband rom) works. It proves that you have successfully reverted to the old baseband. But at the post above me: .32 is the kernel, it is different from the baseband.
32 base and?
Don't make me laugh..
.32 is kernel and has nothing to do with baseband!

Hey guys i have been having some signal problems with my ace, but I only have them when inside my house. This started happening when I flashed gingerbread 2.3.5 to get a custom rom for my Ace (which is awesome btw!) the rom I am currently using is WP7 Rom by Jinavs. I have googled & searched a lot and all I found was a code to change the GSM too 900/1800 but I tried the code and it said that it was invalid, the code is *#2263#. Then I read something about changing the phone's modem is this possible on custom firmware? I never had any problems when I was on Stock Froyo 2.2.1. Any help guys?
Also master reset or factory reset does not work :/
what I do sometimes is airplane mode or turn off the phone and it sometimes works
and it only happens inside my house it works fine in any other place.
Any help will be appreciated

create a cwm backup then. the point of reflashing stock rom is to get correct modem for your region. after that u can just restore the cwm backup, it wont overwrite the modem.

I think, it doesn't work. The ROM boots, but you have no signal etc. Even restore a nandroidbackup doesn't downgrade the baseband.

Why would he need to downgrade
Both cm7.2 and cm9 run on new baseband,right?
Though not sure what restoring nandroid will do in this case as then it would have old-bb fix on new baseband:cyclops:
yeah i hear ya. so is it reccomended that i reflash cm 7.2 so then i coulld stay on new baseband? then it would be easier for me to flash roms for new bb right?
okay... i am gonna explain this and hope i am right..sry for big post
Our phone has many partitions like(system,data,boot,recovery,cache,etc)
The mbn files that you see in P500-v20G-baseband.7z are partition images(or pieces of it or bin file or something similar....am not sure)
Now to install a custom rom, you format system,data,cache(or boot too in some cases) and then flash the rom, which basically copies new files to these partitions.
SO,custom rom does not affect other partitions present on your phone.
However when you install stock through kdz, it basically wipes your whole phone and install each partition again(including the one containing baseband).So, after installing a kdz...you are stuck with that baseband no matter which rom you install through recovery unless you install a kdz again with diff baseband.
The lgmdp method only changes the partition containing baseband (amss.mbn). So,again custom roms have no effect on baseband.
Now, to answer your ques.

No, you dont need to reflash any other rom. You ARE on new baseband now and can flash any rom for new bb and it will work.
