i have this p500 allmost a year so i would love to know if there is a way to flash the new baseband because i want to flash the NightlyFourE V4.6 rom so if there is any "HOWTO" or something like that please post this in here
There are many good tutorials around. The easiest way is to update to official GB from LG. In this way, you'll get the new BB automatically. After that, you can root the device, install clockworkmod from market and get any ROM for the new BB.

All you had to do is search lol.
But anyway follow the link in my signature, the method in my tutorial is installing the new gingerbread update using kdz, and helps you re-root and install correct recovery

hi i just bought my phone last week an I've already experienced some lag even though there's not much apps installed. so now i want to try a custom rom. what rom would be the best for first timers thanks..
If you have 2.2 installed (old baseband) than andy's phoenix rom is the best.
Grab it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909242
If you have 2.3 (new baseband) than you should go for Ginger LOL:

baseband is not the android version. i wrote up a small thing on baseband here.
here is the link for ginger lol (the link in post two is actually the right link except for the four dots):

in my opinion, i would use andy's phoenix rom. follow these instructions:
a) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
b) also, since you are currently using official gingerbread (2.3.3), you need to downgrade your baseband version, instructions found here
thanks for the info man. as i've read, most roms will eventually support the new baseband. so i think, im gonna wait a little longer for that. one more thing though. i though when i install rom, the kernel comes along with it, but as i read it seems that i need to flash my kernel too? thanks for your help.
phoenix rom comes with franco's .35 kernel preinstalled
There's no need to install other kernel.
roms using old baseband is never going to support new baseband...
DUDE I prefer, no need to root your stock rom for installing custom rom.
follow http://lg-p500-optimusone.blogspot.com/ if u want this.

Do it via KDZ Firmware flasher and research for a tutorial how to flash using it and how to download the old firmware. I can't research for you now because I got things to do

thanks a lot sir..
ill go for downgrading to froyo.
after i downgrade? i will downgrade also the baseband?
Id recommend using LG tools, kdz flasher I here has problems. Than again I've never used it so I can't tell you from experience but I can give you a place to start
Don't use xda's app search function, its useless instead use Google search queries
Go to android development, than to stickies.. the first post is what you need. Its a post by ciaox that night do you justice, also right underneath it is another post with alot of info but I believe its outdated
Also look for sweetnsour's post, I think its under general section stickies..

well, if you still got the warranty then contact lg service centre and tell them to downgrade from Gb to Froyo2.2.2
they may tell you that there is a slight chance of bricking but they will also tell you that not to update after downgrading
And Viola!!
You will get stock froyo on your phone without any hassle, all things working and no chance of bricking your phone by yourself and no baseband problem
Followed it and no problems till yet, currently on Mike's CM7 6.5.8
And to root, just use gingerbreak
2 methods to manually do it.
1. kdz (risky in my view as i briked my phone once with it) (search xda to follow)
2. lgmdp (i feel safe method) ( to flash froyo of your choice follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19006040#post19006040
or
to flash indian froyo v10e 2.2.2 follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324105)
and once u successfully flashed using any of the above method no need to flash baseband separately, it will be done by the tool while flashing process itself.

Thanks sirs, Its a big help..Ill try it tomorrow..Then if i bricked my phone. Ill go to LG and let them fix it with pay.
So i have some experience with these things (flashing and whatnot) with several phones already (htc hero, legend, desire, desire hd, motorola milestone, iconia a500, etc), so i dont get what could be wrong.
So i have this lg optimus one.
Gave it root with z4root method.
Got rom manager installed, flashed the recovery, and rebooted into the recovery.
I formated the sdcard from recovery, entered usb mode, copied several cfw (mostly gb roms) along with some kernels.
I flased my first rom on this phone, and i think it was optimus v3 (or something like that), rebooted, then i got FC, "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly". So im thinking now ... "hmmm .. the kernel must not be the right one". So i search a little and see that there are 2 kernel types, v35 and v32.
So i start flashing another kernel, reboot, but still get the same thing.
So i then start flashing another cfw, but still the same thing.
I flashed several cfw and about 4 kernels by now.
What im i not doing right !?
Where should i check ?
Maybe ur not on the right baseband If u were on Gingerbread when rooting then ur on new baseband but if u were on Froyo then u were on old baseband so check for a ROM with the proper basebabd and try

Yes u can..but I'd recommend u to try a ROM which is for old baseband (or for both old and new) and see if it has any problems.if its working perfectly then its the baseband problem.

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.
Note:All info above may or may not be entirely correct.Its just how i think it works.:good:

Mod plz add this to sticky or link it in sticky
As we know there are two types of baseband's available for our device, old baseband which is used by froyo and some gingerbread rom's and new baseband that is used by gingerbread onwards.
To switch baseband you either need to flash baseband through lgmdp or flash firmware using kdz and both involves a substantial degree of risk of bricking your device.
What I will be telling will not actually change your baseband but will make the ROM compatible with the baseband you are using. So here it is how it goes.
-> If you are having old baseband and want to use new baseband ROM, flash this after flashing ROM

Note:- Patch for old baseband was originally made by adfadd and thats where idea came for creating a patch for new baseband. While the patch by adfadd is long lost in pile of threads, this is where this thread will come handy.
Flashing baseband through LGMDP cannot brick your device,only flashing full firmwares via LGMDp or KDZ_FW_UPD can have chance to brick

Here is the libril.so for manual search fix. My friend tested it on new baseband and it works.
So, probably for all new basebands including funnysim may work for gingerbread, ics and jellybean. Please test it on and report.

i looked into the zip file and found that a few lib files are added by flashing the patch. would this affect the performance? my phone works fine in 90% of the time. however, sometimes it is just too laggy to even answer calls. it could become normal after some time, say 30s ro 1min.
i dont have this problem when i was using roms based on the old baseband. so i am wondering what would the patch do to the system.
thanks.
