[Q] LG KU5900 updated, crashed and...

long story short....
i received a unit from a friend in korea (version with the olleh logo).
LG KU5900, updated using LGs downloadable updater, my mistake is that i didnt read up on the "proper procedure" of updating this one unit.
options on updating, i changed the country to my local (philippines). then proceeded with updating, about 3-5% it crashed while flashing it.
i tried using v10a as alternative, managed to flash it somewhat successfully, but lo and behold, no IMEI, no GSM signal.
i was wondering this unit only and will only accept v20l in its general function? or im sure i did or didnt do something right.
i used KDZ updater with the windows enable and whatnots.
im hoping this unit still has a chance of being reflashed to its former glory with a signal on it.
any ideas, opinions, suggestions, advices for a flash tool that will render this functional once more?
here's where the unit at.
functional, boots up, wifi bluetooth gps works. before that eventful update, the phone works, call and all, i can receive sms but cant send one.
what doesnt work. local gsm network (wcdma, i think). since when i flashed this, i left the kdz updater type on CDMA since there's no gsm/wcdma option to boot.
questions of mine...
can this be flashed using v10a since this is the native for philippines? or do i go back to v20l which is for korea?
which flash tool to use to activate gsm/wcdma?
links to tools? hopefully not megaupload.
guides?
any and all will help.
thank you very much.
ps - been reading up on gabwerk's (did i spell his name right?). on finding a clue to fix this.
pps - flashed this about 4-5 times already, no luck.
tried flashing with 3GQCT, still no luck on having signal.

KU5900 and P970 have different radio roms... Because you flashed P970's firmware, your modem (radio) isn't working.
Flash your phone with KDZU with one of these firmwares.
Or try again to flash in LG Mobile UPdater. It will download correct firmware by your IMEI number.

err yeah, that i did the first time when it crashed. must be compatibility with win 7 64.
KU5900 >> LG updater "country philippines language english" crashed while uncompressing.
already have the korean firmwares, im looking for an updater with a "wcdma or gsm" option on radio types.
so far kdz updater by marwin doesnt have that, only CDMA, 3GQCT, INFINEON, ODM...

You didn`t understand ! if your phone has cdma radio on it you cannot flash gsm or wcdma because radio chip will not accept. There are differences between frecvences.

aye, right now, managed to get it up and running, but somewhat still unstable, i cant download games on it, not even fruit ninja lolz. it kept saying insufficient memory.

Try to do a factory reset, often solves such problems, and if problems persist, try to flash it again.

...
ok guys.
used lge tool from a friend of mine, he fixed the eprom that was causing the initial error on the "no network / no signal" issue.
still on froyo v10a, then updated to v11c using updater, which turns out to be bouy update. now i got a french OS arrrrggggghhhh!!!!
right now, looking for GB update guide.
anyone with pointy ears can point me to the right direction?
ps - anyone got any good pointers on how to use the inactive 5gig? currently splicing v20l for comparisons with 10a and 11c...

[Solved][Q]Couldn't make call on 3G/H after updating baseband

OMG, after I tried SU660 baseband to solve wired loss of signal and nvFlash to 28G rom and baseband for my made in Korean "P990", it couldn't make any in/out coming call on 3G/H mode.
Say, the internet connection is all right. But whenever I call someone, the call would immediately cut off(CM10 showed network busy, stock 28G shows Call Ended). And any incoming call is the same, cut off directly (it won't go to Voice mail so I would lose the call without signal).
Everything's fine on 2G/EDGE mode.
Thus, I try to nvflash/smartflash back to CM10/Gingerbread to test if this is 28G rom problem but the problem still exist.
I have also tried diff. rom, baseband and RIL but same problem as above, 2G works, 3G fatal problem.
My original rom is cm10 with baseband 725.
SIM card seems no error as it works on other phone.
Could anyone have any ideas to solve this issue?:crying: I can't live without 3G. Thank you in advance.
Could anyone quote the baseband and ril used for cm10? so I could test it.
sorry for my English BTW.

[Problem Solved]
This issue should be about the IMEI or CAL data.
I had fixed it by erase CAL data with smartflash and reset IMEI with hyperterminal.

There is no original CM 10 ROM with BB 725. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1658047 by tonyp and go to the download section. Get the 2011-218-10b Baseband. Flash it accordingly. Install CM 7 or 9 via CWM and do not forget to format your system partition in CWM first. Can usually be found under 'Mount'. Oh, and wipe it too. After installation boot your phone and do not change the RIL. The right RIL is already in the ROM.
Test it and give feedback.

Thought that my guide would help you. Hm. Last resort: then try to flash a kdz file. Gingerbread e.g.
Will wipe everything and includes BB and RIL. Also wipes your internal SD and recovery. Try it.
If it isn't working then it is maybe hardware related and a possible case for the LG warranty. So kdz flashing would be a good idea anyway.

And finally i installed winXP for kdz and restore to v10f stock rom (kdz crash on win 8 and the installation takes me for over 2 hours). Under stock v10f & v20h, 3G is still not working. I thought this is SIM card or hardware issue now. Lucky me I bought this phone at the highest price and its life is less than 2 years. Time to bring it to repair.
Thank you again for your kind help. Closed topic:angel:

That are bad news. A lot of work for nothing.
Please try switching/changing the SIM card first. If it is really the culprit then your carrier shouldn't charge you for a new one. Maybe you can borrow one from a friend for testing your phone...
Sending it to LG is really the last resort.
Good luck!

Today I go to LG repair center for inspection. I find out that only my current carrier is not working. Say:-
Case one: my own Sims on my phone, don't work
Case two: my own Sims on other phone(same model P990), work (My Sims is fine)
Case three: other Sims with the same Carrier, don't work
Case four: other Sims with different Carrier, work
Thus, all Sims from my current carrier on my half brick P990 don't work. Other Sims from other carrier work.
The CS said the mainboard maybe broken after help restore officially and quotes HKD1600/USD200 for the repairing cost:cryingcost 2/3 nexus 4)
Just making a conclusion on it. Hope it could help someone with similar symptoms.
Maybe it's time to say goodbye to this forum and thank all contributed to my ex-phone.

[HELP] no signal no matter what i try

Hello O2X community,
my phone refuses to connect to the cell network. however, it reads my sim card (SpeakOut Wireless). This began last night when i flashed a SU660 baseband and checked "erase cal data". I have since restored to a stock gingerbread rom with a FLS file, but it still didn't connect. I am currently using the official P990hN rom from the LG Updater, with the V30A baseband (i used it before with no problems). It still won't connect.
Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Fixed by flashing a P990 BB with "erase CAL data".

Have you tried smart flashing an ICS BB?
then re flash which ever ROM you have been using if you need....
More issues and if need, try starting with AIOT by SPYROSK.....nvflash from scratch.

[Q] Full signal but not able to make calls HELP

Well i got a problem.
My LG optimus 2x doesn't want to make when it has full signal. And that's ONLY when it has full signal. As soon as I start calling it says call ended. Other people can't call me either. Everything else works fine from internet to messaging (receiving and sending). I have tried numerous basebands (0725 v20q, 0725 v10d, 0218 v10b) and the one I'm on now which is V30A.
I'm currently running stock LG 4.04.
I have tried the phone with a different sim and it still didn't make calls.
Switching to 2G or turning airplane mode on/off doesn't help neither doe turning on wcdma or gsm only signal.
I was installing the basebands with LG P990 All in one ToolKit.
ANY HELP GUYS.
Thanks

Switch to a custom rom ^^

Already tried it doesn't help. I will flash Avatar ROM again but first i want to fix this

Nobody knows? I don't think it hardware since the phone can make calls but only when its not on full signal.

Could it be IMEI problem?
Have you tried a different sim card?

Dial *#06# and see if your imei appears

IMEI problem what do you mean by that?
The IMEI does come up.
And yes i have tried different sim cards with the same result.

Does the displayed imei match with the one printed on the sticker under the battery?

Yep they match.

You have the problem which I had when I was using su660 basebands. As I see you were trying p990 basebands maybe you cold try a su660 baseband. Here's the su660 baseband with it's ril Flash the bb with smartflash, then if you are on stock or stock based rom copy the ril file to /system/lib and set the ril permisson to rw-r--r--

Will try. I'll post back if it works or not.

Looks like i can't past it inside /system/lib because it keeps saying that the system is read only.
Should i Flash Avatar ROM so I have full control?

Of course, flash avatar rom or any other which grant you root acces or just root your stock rom, but if you still have that problem without changing ril it just will be a worthless effort.
If you still have that problem try this. Maybe it wil help. I know it is for fixing some kind of wifi-mobileinternet transation thing, but you can give it a try, you will lose nothing. Read carefully the post. I think there is nothing to worry about. I perfomed erase CAL numerous times without no problem. I would recommend putty instead of Hyper Terminal.

same problem
i am also facing the same problem
rom:- tonyp v4
kernal pengus 124
on same kernal but tonyp v3 rom this problem use never occur if tony or any pro can help me out i love his rom
:good: tonyp

Just a quick question do you know what erase CAL does? can i use it while flashing a stock rom with baseband?

Erase CAL deletes the calibration data in the radio. By radio I mean that part of the phone which is responsible for catch signal/network. When you perform Erase CAL you lose your IMEI, but you can restore, that forum link I sent describe it how to restore your IMEI after erase CAL.
Answer to your second question: You can only use erase CAL when you flash baseband, and you need stock rom to restore your IMEI.
Why you need stock rom? You need stock rom because it has Hidden menu which is missing from custom roms. Hidden menu is essential to restore your IMEI.
You can find your IMEI on your phone's box or on the sticker under your battery, or type *#06# in the dialer and it will show your IMEI.

I suffered from this problem when I installed Kaspersky Anti-Virus. It automatically enabled its filter and I couldn't make or receive calls, depsite the signal strength or 2g/3g.I disabled the filter and it worked after that. Also, unrelated, but I also suffered from a problem where after a few calls/texts/switching data on/off, I would lose connectivity until the next reboot. I solved it by disabling automatic time and automatically setting the time using the clocksync application from the play store. Hope I helped, good luck.

[Q] many problems now no network

I have a p925g rogers canada. It had a problem while updating and was bricked, no lg logo, no vibrate, nothing.
I managed to revive it a month later using Smartflashtool and lgp925_ap.bin and lgp925_CP.fls and that got me the logo back but the phone would reboot in less than one second of logo appearing.
So I then used LG mobile support tool and did a recovery, it recognized the imei in download mode and now the phone is up and running on 4.0.4. with baseband omap4430/xmm6260 and build number is ICS and software version is p925g30c
This phone is unlocked. I put in a koodo sim card and no luck. I get "No service"
Under phone identity i get the imei, the imei sv, they are all there but my phone number is "unknown" and I can never connect to the mobile network.
I've read many threads on here, about 12 hours now, and I'm seeing "flash baseband" etc. I dont even know how to do that with an LG. I've done many sammy's and used odin and cwm/twrp so I do have some experience with the process.
I'd appreciate any help with this. Please don't point me to a tread that just says "flash a new baseband" I don't know how lol.
sorry in advance.

Did you set up your APN? How to do that and how to flash

would you believe that I re-did all the apn and after about an hour, it started working,
Couldn't have done it without XDA
PS I hate cellphones.
Which is why I love them.
lol

Hmm sometimes rebooting a few times after an update helps things work better. Well, good it works.

still wont do messaging, and drops the network alot, also getting "Reorganizing internal processes" when I try to call but it goes thru after a few tries. I may try a custom rom if I can ever get into recovery mode (it wont let me)
correction, mms is working sometimes just like calls. Factory reset a few times. no difference.
edit - no data whatsoever. All apn setting correct, all settings rechecked. network unavailable.

no IMEI & no SIGNAL (network)
Could someone help me?
I flashed my LG THRILL 4G (AT&T) with official stock P925 V30B rom (with SMARTFLASH) but lost the IMEI and no NETWORK. :crying:
What can I do now?
Thanks!!

Use Flash Tool. See link above.
