Hi,
I have an LG Optimus P500H running Android 2.2.1
Kernel is: 2.6.32.9
Baseband is: V10b
3G/UMTS Frequency is: 850/1900
Phone is already rooted with Gingerbreak 1.20.apk
I would like to know if I can flash Amon-Ra recovery without any issues and If I can flash any custom rom without loosing 3G connectivity.
I ask this because P500H is different from P500 (with no "H").
Looked for a straight answer on the forum but coul not find it.
Best Regards.
I have the koodo version as well. I haven't experienced any issues thus far. If you're going to be using new baseband roms I'd suggest you use lgmobile updater and grab official gingerbread then re root and begin flashing. If you're sticking to old baseband you're good to go. Old = v10 base new= v20base

If you lose your data in any ROM just google koodo data and it should be second post and it'll give apn settings. Or just reply and I'll give I the settings

Thank you very much for your reply...
I will try it then to check If I lose 3g.
Bye
I am having trouble updating the baseband...
I have tried many roms with v20b and v20a and I only get 2G connection... No 3G.
Only stock and v10b roms get me 3G, thus I can't flash any custom rom as they all need new baseband.
You need to flash stock gingerbread ROM via lg update tool or kdz

Or read through the ROM of your choice and see if baseband fix will work. Do a little searching as to how. The answers are all already here

yes, because i am a newbie, i dont know much about ROMs. the only thing i know is CM7, but there are too many different versions. dont know how to choose
anyone????
I've been using cm_p500_full-15.zip from the link posted above. It's pretty stable for me.
Of course you need the new baseband to use this ROM. If you don't know what that means you need to look into it before you flash anything.

You don't need to necessarily have new baseband to get nightlies working,just flash aspee's baseband fix and viola,working data...

so there are 2 ways to flash the rom?? update my baseband or flash aspee's baseband fix? is updating my baseband better?
Actually, neither of these is a way to flash a rom. What you really need to do is read read read. A good place to start is at the stickies in the general section for the p500.
Edit: if you have a p509 from T-Mobile, don't worry, as far as I know all p500 roms recoveries, etc work fine; it's the same phone inside a different package. As for the new baseband, some T-Mobile users in the US say they have reduced 3g connectivity than with the old baseband ; I have never noticed it personally.

Currently, which rom are u using?
and initially, were u on stock 2.2 (froyo) or 2.3 (gingerbread)...when u had ur "connection" working?
i tryed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529777
the previous mod was 2.3.7
it may be because of u tried to flash a rom of different baseband....if u was initially on LG stock 2.3.3 then u should use rom wich have new baseband....nd If u was on stock 2.2 then old roms should be work fine...
so i can't istall newest roms??
gimme a link of a cool room whit latest android please!
you can install official GB from LG website. In this way you will get the new baseband automatically. After that, you can root the device (there are many guides available around), install from market clockworkmod recovery and install any new ROM from this site.
Good luck!

what rom do you suggest then?
Ok, but what ROM and baseband do you have now?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
if you want to use newest rom with new baseband then just upgrade your baseband....search for how to upgrade basebande in xda...there's a beautiful guide on that and it's quite safe i have changed mine 2 times already ;-)
Go here, read everything and STOP WHINING AROUND!!!!
now i have original lg rom updated... 2.3.3
but when it start it says wind... (f**king phone company)
Maybe the Rom you flash is not suitable for your sim, there are two version of Roms like milestone and droid
Milestone is for gsm
Droid is for the other one(i can't remember the name)
Or you should try stock Rom?

he already said that is official GB from LG.
If that is the case, maybe you shpuldtrywoth another SIM. Looks like a SIM issue to me.

Hi guys i'm a noob and i need your help. I have installed on my lg p500 this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21795799#post21795799
the Latest Nightly 1.5.2 without resolution change. However when i boot my phone i get no service. Can you explain me why does this happen? I have tryed with both .32 and .35 kernel and i think i'm on new baseband. Please help
You think or you know your own baseband? Use LGDMP to find out which baseband you have flashed...v20 (NBB) and v10 (OBB), if your phone is showing anything else its irrelevant cyanogenmod stuff..if you find out your on old baseband use aspee baseband fix or funny sim fix...

I agree with what he said. Basically, you're on the new baseband if you upgraded your phone to the STOCK gingerbread rom first before rooting. Aka, if you upgraded to a v20(letter here) rom. If you rooted a STOCK FROYO rom and installed another rom, you'll be on the old baseband. If you're on the old baseband, use one of the fixes Jrhodes85 mentions.
thanks

My girlfriend has just got the Optimus T for use with her T mobile prepaid. I am wondering which development section I need to be looking in for regards to which roms will work with her phone and be compatible with T mobile. Did they make a CDMA and GSM version of this phone?
I dont want to start flashing files not meant for her phone or Tmobile's basebands.
I appreciate any help you can give.
I have the optimus t. You can basically flash any old baseband rom like mikos or others.GTR and gingersnap also work for old baseband cuz there's an integrated baseband fix. I updated my baseband to v20g and can confirm that everything works like 3g talk and text. If you don't want to update baseband then I think there's a baseband fix somewhere in the threads...idk where it is cuz I'm on.new bb

Is it exist? for p500
I don't want reflash radio for using old firmwares
No, there aren't, using kdz isn't very hard, it is a bit of a hassle though. There was a fix available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 I'm pretty sure it only worked for that specific rom though, and it's a gingerbread rom.
I guess you only need to install a new baseband patch. But don't know if it will work...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Use this patch.. you will get GSM.. not sure about data..
HERE
I recommended to flash 2.2.2 RADIO than KDZ.
KDZ is not safe way to flash /revert to back on old baseband. There is always risk in it to brick.
√Here is the 2.2.2 radio (Only for them who want to go on old BASEBAND) : http://petiksmode.com/2012/02/25/upgradingdowngrading-lg-optimus-one-p500-baseband/
Read instructions and do it right.
