[Q] baseband extract - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there a way to extract the baseband from from the spf file or the photon itself? And then reflash it?
I have no problems with my radio. I'm just curious... I've noticed there are a few different versions of the basebands so it seems like it would be possible to use older or newer basebands.

[Q] Flashing rom with new baseband

Hi
If I flash a rom that requires new baseband (e.g. Official GB), but I dislike, Can I back to the old baseband flashing a backup of a rom that support old baseband?
No that's not possible...you need to downgrade your baseband first and then you will be able to restore your backup... else NO GSM...
1 Friendly suggestion... forget about upgrading to official GB as it sucks goats... try any rom but not those...

Thanks for your answer and suggestion!
How does one downgrade?
You are right, the new baseband DOES suck! Help on downgrading back to old baseband? (wifi calling is the most important feature to me, and I dont have it on this god forsaken 2.3)

you can downgrade back to the old baseband using the same method you used to flash the new baseband.

it is the same method except you use another file (in this case you will be using the file for the old baseband)

[Q] Can't Save APNs in Custom Roms

hey XDA peeps,
Seasoned Android modifier here.
Got a LG Optimus One from Telus (Canada) (P500h), came with 2.3.3 .
I can root it, flash custom Roms, Flash the Baseband Fix, Flash a custom Kernel and restore it back to Stock 2.3.3.
The only thing I can't make it do, is make my custom ROMs save my Rogers Wirelss APNs !!!
I can't seem to find a KDZ file for the V10 (2.2.1) firmware and two of us cannot figure out how to flash the DZ files, (Cannot Find Monitor Port?? Tried 2 different computers). From my understanding, its best to start from the 2.2 Software, but I can't find it for my P500h Telus Canada.
I see that I am not the only one who is having the APN Problem.
So what I'm asking is
A) How do I fix this APN not saving issue
B) Which CM ROM should I flash that does not have this issue
Thanks!
You have to downgrade your baseband to old one then you can save apn ...
Flash cm6.5.8 it is stable

So, i gather that the zip file ive been flashin via CWM called "baseband fix" is not downgrading my baseband.
Is this a file I have to flash via KDZ? Can anyone link me to the file? I've looked high and low for such a file.

You're welcome,

Thanks guys, last time i installed that rom it failed miserably. I tried again and it works great and it seems i didn't need to flash the new baseband coming from the stock 2.3.3 software.
Thanks a lot!

are basebands equal for each Cyanogen 7/9 rom build?

Hi there
I think the reason why I do not see a network or SIM card is because the baseband is empty as well as the IMEI.
I installed ICS Dynamite 4.0 and I assume that maybe the missing baseband is the reason.
I am Germany right now, does it matter what baseband I am going to use?
Interestingly when I flash back a working Cyanogen 7 rom a baseband is back.
Any tips?

which cm7 build did you flash?

Are you on the old baseband?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
being in germany or any other part of the world really shouldnt matter about baseband....v10 is old baseband, if you rooted a stock phone, than yes your on old baseband or so I was when I first got this phone....In order to get v20, you need to use LGDMP v1.5, search for Doktonor's thread on flashing with LGDMP....it's not that hard really, and applies to any v20 series (a,b,c,etc)...all you do is extract the 7z file format, open LGDMP, you'll have 4 files total in this extracted folder.....I cant remember to the T on the whole process but the thread by doktonor is with pictures and well be able to help you out....if your having a problem with mobile data and dont want to risk switching basebands, than look out for aspee's baseband fix or a funny sim fix....it's best to go ahead and flash new baseband, it's easy though....as far as your phone not showing IMEI, that's common on some CM7 based roms, even neko95's Moto Razr-UI v7 rom shows no baseband on my phone, not exactly sure why it does that but I am on new baseband (obviously, since mobile data works)

change baseband of ICS leak

hello guys. i have flash the ics leak 672.152.27.xt910.retail.en.EU, and im wondering if i can change the baseband from U_04.08.00R to a 2.3.6 baseband? maybe 91p or 93p. is it possible? im getting signal drops and my home wifi also drops. but wen i was in 2.3.6 version there are no problems. can anyone confirm if this is possible? and if it is, can any post a guide on how to do it? thanks
btw im rooted if that helps.
Do you mean radio version? You probably can, if you can find the file, you should be able to flash it via RSD.
What file are you talking about? And how to flash it?

Switching Baseband - The easy way [ Tested on GB ]

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

-> If you are having new baseband and want to use old baseband ROM, flash this after flashing ROM
https://www.box.com/shared/r5l39a5ocaxr8zq1s46h
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

what abt if u get nv2 corrupted
Manual search fix
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.
Good job.

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.

those libs aren't going to affect performance in any way... its the ROM & kernel that affects performance.
Am I mistaken, or is there a flashable zip to undo the old bb fix?
