[Q] No IMEI and baseband is unknown - Optimus One, P500, V General

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...

You don't have the new baseband. You'll have to flash it first

Now the phone doesen't even start at all...

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.

Recovery != baseband.
@OP: Read the fricking sticky thread and click on the baseband howto instead. Or do the same with my signature.
If you need the v10 baseband,.. then is because you were in v20 before...
Hopping my assumptions are right, how did you flashed the Froyo rom? via LGDMP?
Are you going to flash the whole thing at once?
And finally, if you have your nv2 backup safe... then flash the v10 baseband restoring your nv2 (this thread if you still confused) and voila! everything should work fine for you.

CWM Bad boot fix?

Hello I am a user of a LG Phoenix, I already rooted my phone via GingerBreak and installed Rom Manager and got CWM.
Well it shows all blue colors (Which I can deffinatly deal with) and says
Code:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0
E: Bad boot message
"recovery"
I don't mind that message either BUT it don't let me install any roms or do anything in recovery, I wanted to install 2.3 and can't with this happening.
Sorry if there's another thread I am a little lazy looking for them, but I searched for about 20 minutes to find a fix but there's none.
Thanks,
Mike

[Q] X10 Mini Pro & Clean V6 Issues

Hello everyone..
Im using Clean V5 found here: Great rom and pretty fast!
But im having issues with the phone constantly rebooting after flashing V6.
I downloaded the zip, copied it to the sdcard, rebooted phone into recoverymode, made a backup. Choosed custom zip had it flashed and after i made a full wipe and rebooted.
It gets stuck at the blinking marker, and after awhile it reboots and loops.
Note, i can go back into recoverymode and reset.

Well since Im using V5 I should have the compatible firmware.
I cant check it either in my phones settings meny since it says Clean0.0.

Maybe you should re-flash again 2.1.1.C.0.0 original firmware. With this way you never got the problem

Love your dedication of helping
I just found a clean backup on my computer Ill restore and see what firmware it is and try V6 this weekend.
Edit:
The backup I had didnt have matching MD5 for some reasons but I managed to use SEUS and phone was restored to original firmware
I just flashed V6 and I do have compatible firmware "C.0.0" and holy cow it works!
Maybe the term 'firmware' is confusing. Because V6 -ROM- contains a dualtouch module that only works with the 2.1.1.C.0.0 -KERNEL- , it can cause problems.
There's a link in the first post of the rom thread (read carefully) to the right kernel (.ftf file) which you can flash using flashtool.
Sorry I didn't see this before, since V6 I'm just using the phone ;-)

[Q] A few Questions

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....

What did you do in the first place to mess it up?
I didnt do anything ! Even i havent root my phone either !! M using 2.3.4 Ind version gb.
Can i update it with official ics and have new baseband ?
Everyone thinks that unknown baseband means corrupted efs but not always. First try taking out your battery for 3 min and pit it back. Your baseband may come back. Works for me.

i wouldn´t reccomend to do anything like efs or whatever without having some basic experience
Just update your phone and see what happens. 2.3.4 isn´t the best firmware imo
i think an update is a solution for your problem.
