I suppose that you even can't boot in to your phone. If it is like that, try to go into recovery (vol down + home + power button combo), wipe all data and reflash your ROM.

Its not called bricked you just did things wrong. Dont spoil rom manager image.! I've been using rom manager to flash thing like 200 time not even a single unsuccessful flash, let even brick.
A brick is when phone is totally dead no logo no recovery no fastboot no adb. Just like phone without battery.
And be precise like you were on this rom and than I did this and that.... so that everyone can help u better.

Use KDZ updater software cautiously as it will make it real brick.

2x attempted to flash CWM and two times got fastboot here. If you look @ xda, you can see that clearly there is a serious bug with flashing recovery at least, but have yet to hear anything from the developer.
ROM Manager for recovery flashing = not recommended (from me at least).

i seriously recommend to flash recovery manually or through zip files.!
ROM MANAGER could get bugging at times.!

i'd write the steps again
1.) Relax
2.) Download KDZ Updater & Stock KDZ File (KDZ Updater- http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
ROM- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479)
3.) After ur downloads are done. Remove the battery.
4.) Plug In ur phone while holding ( VOLUME UP + RETURN ) this would bring ur phone in EMERGENCY MODE.
5.) open KDZ Updater. In Type choose 3GQCT and in PhoneMode use EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY . choose the KDZ file u downloaded.. and hit the launch software update button.
6.) If it fails. Go to device manager. Under Modems Disable LGE Virtual Modem or LGE Android USB Modem. and restart PC and repear step 4 and 5.This should Do the work
7.) if u're on version 2.2.2 download Gingerbreak(Search the forum) and root ur phone . Install custom recovery and flash whatever ROM u want
Thank me if i helped
Cheers
Rom manager is fixed now.

Hello,
I have p500(indian) on old baseband and want to upgrade to new bb using lgmdp.. following are a few questions that i dint find an answer to.
1.what is the risk of having a bricked device if i turn off lg virtual modem..?
2. th lg virtual modem is shown as lge android platform usb modem.. is it the same..?
3. What rom and recovery should i be on to flash new baseband?
4. can i flash cm9 first and then new baseband?
5.my recovery takes around 5 seconds to show the options... it wasnt like this before.. is this normal? im on the recovery i firrst installed(amonra 1.2 the one with bad boot message)
6.before flashing a recovery zip or cwm from rom manger what precautions should i take?
7.In rom manager if i say install recovery.. it shows p500 and p500(oldbb) so if i flash old bb now and then upgrade.. will it work?
8. if flash the one without (oldbb) will my phone get bricked..?
Thanks for your answers in advance.. p500 was the best phone i got in my life.. and its not because of lg.. its because of its awesome community.!
> when i was on stock as you
> 1st I rooted ,this is A MUST 1st to do
> 2nd flash clockworkmod or amonra.. but cwm would be good for starters, just download rom manager at play store.. and u'll get it
> 3rd since ur on old baseband.. i suggest you flash cm7 rom or the on i modded then flash the old baseband fix so you dont need to upgrade
> incase you want to upgrade so u can also use cm9
> now is the time to use lgmdp .. Em not sure.. but i think its different ..virtual modem wasnt there when i switched baseband so i did not disabled any..
i think it good
Can anyone answer please..? cant find answers to these questions.. and neko man i think you misunderstood my question.. it partly answered one that is lg virtula modem maybe does not play an important part.. ppl please answer..
!
Well there are many tutorials out there on how to get new bb. Just follow them step by step. You have to flash it first then you can get CM9. Forgive me but some of your question sound like this "Will my phone work if I submerge half of it in water?". Don't worry just do as you're told on the tutorials All the best!

There is definitely a risk, and you have to follow the instructions clearly to avoid any risks. To be honest here, I bricked my phone thrice (yes! 3 times) using kdz updater. That's why I'd suggest that you don't upgrade to new bb using kdz updater

The only and most secure thing i have to prefer u to flash official froyo 2.2.2 on ur phone first... if u already using it then its ok... n if not then search a official froyo rom in zip format for flashing it via cwm recovery... after then... use lg pc suite for upgrading it to official 2.3.3 n ur phone will automatically updated to new bb too.
EDIT: Just clarify me what rom n recovery are u using...!?? What android version and baseband shows on ur phone....

So my friend gave me his phone in hope that i could fix it. The phone didn't read SIM card and no calls could be made with it (he used it as MP3). So i tryd to root the phone (z4root and gingerbreak failed) with LGMDP and got the recovery were i flashed SlimGen ROM. Phone still had same problem. I also flashed franco.Kernel4. Now i have no IMEI and "About phone" shows that Baseband is unknown. The LGMDP still shows some IMEI. Oh and when i boot up the phone it shows flight mode icon at top but wifi works...

Try getting back to Stock Firmware
Try to get to the stock firmware using KDZ. Search for it and you'll find the relevant info. If you have tried changing baseband using LGMDP when it had an IMEI, it must have taken a backup. See whether you can restore it.

.35 likely refers to the newer kernels, not new baseband. Old BB is v10-something and new bb is v20-something.
The others know more about the rest, so I'll be quiet.

I was going through threads on rooting, ROMs, kernels and bricking. Before reading threads about bricking I wanted to root my phone but after reading I got scared of bricking my phone which I think is difficult to debrick (unbrick).
Is it really the case that we cannot debrick the phone at home? Is it ok to root with such a consequence?

All I can say is if you're that worried about it, don't root your phone or flash anything. Leave it on stock & enjoy it.
Is it possible to change ROM without rooting the phone?
And what are the chances of bricking the phone while rooting? And if bricked what is procedure to make it as earlier
