[Baseband][CM7] 218/405/502/606 baseband downloads [Guide] Experiences.

25/5 2011: Changed topic, since a baseband related thread seemed to be missing. I have now put the 502 baseband on my phone, and it seems to be really good.
Installation procedure for Baseband.
Backup phone, use Titanium Backup or My Backup pro and make a nandroid backup in recovery.
Go here and get the baseband and utility to install it.
Format cache/data/system in the Clockworkmod recovery menu - mounts and storage.. Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik Cache and battery stats.. And Fix Permissions.
Now you can either restore your nandroid or install a clean rom..
Okay, so i sit and browse thru all the threads in the LG o2x section, and i start wondering why the discussion suddenly is about baseband in the various topics.. I upgraded to 405, and i have had some issues, i dont know whether they are related to the rom, the baseband or just a plain phone bug..
Issues i have had:
1. GPS wont lock at all.. Or i get lock after 15 minutes, but after reboot GPS refuses to lock again..
2. My Mobile data is very unstable, disconnects constantly and also gives browser freezes..
3. In call sound is very bad, distorsion is high, and sounds like people i talk with i holding a cloth on their microphone..
So, could someone give an explaination to what the baseband does ?

Thanx goes to paulobrien over a Modaco

I am using the 1035.21_20110306 baseband and I am having no issues. (CyanogenMod 7 - Nightly). Also, it was V10b from the beginning and still no updates for the phone from LG (Not that I need one).

Okay, i will test that baseband.. If i can find it

im using the 218 baseband and have done since I got the phone I think, and mine has been fine flawless I should say, Rooted and changed roms loads of times

I´m using 20110405, GPS ok, data Ok, wifi ok, call quality oK.
But when i use CM7 and 2G audio quality during calls is bad.

Okay - i have been using 405 since it was found.. So i'd like to get a hold of the 218, to test it out..
So to whom might find the 218, 306 or whatever they find, please post links in here, and i will try to put them all in first post..

you can get all the basebands from nasihrameds [Firmware] Thread. The archives contain the *.fls files for smartflash.
0218 is included in the earliest UK Firmware for example (and also in the Singtel variants if I remember correctly).
Cheers

Edit: To answer your question from the Nightly's thread:
The maintainer of the O2X cm_arcee uses the 20110218 baseband, so you can expect a similar expierience to his, and probably avoid bugs he won't fix because they are related to the baseband being different.

Hey thx man - Although they are not extracted.. Is it possible to apply the baseband without it wiping the phone ?

well I don't think downloading and extracting them isn't that much of a hassle
I don't know if the smartflash wipes your phone, as far as I remember mine wasn't wiped BUT, it overwrote my recovery partition (reverted to stock) so I wiped the phone by accident when I tried to get into CWM again ^^.
I guess you could always do a nandroid backup before flashing the baseband to be on the safe side.

Just a heads up, changing the baseband, make nandroid backup first. Baseband formats cache and data patition, so you will reboot onto a clean rom afterwards. Recovery isnt erased though.. Good luck peeps, im now on 218..

So far only positive things to report, but will take a day or two of normal usage to come with a solid conclusion..

since the baseband resides in another location as the ROM, it cannot be flashed using CWM. Smartflash is the only solution so far.

Looking forward to more reports. I'm thinking about using this older baseband as well, but am not sure whether to give it a try or not.

baseband 1035.21_20110223
factory version V10A
FR15 rom
stable as hell...
the GPS problem i hade was fixed in the hidden menu (within 10 secs i have GPS)
doing this
To get it to work as flawless as before upgrading to FR15, I have made the following adjustments that seem to work well:
1. Go into the LG hidden menu
2. Go into GPS Test
3. Go into System Settings
4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)
5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)
6. SLP Auto Provision is activated

[Q] restore (only) baseband from nandroid.

i'm on stock V10e with baseband 0725.
Overall, the experience is 'just' the same, except with browsing the interblag. Probably there are improvements with the new fw, but that's what i use the most.
With baseband 0622, i can get higher speed (125 kBps) compare to 75 kBps with the new one. This is not good.
I've read threads regarding the topic, but i'm preety much reluctant with the impending future after smartflashing the baseband (restoring apps and adjusting settings all over again). God no.
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Root your phone if you have not already done it. Install CWM recovery and do a nandroid backup. Flash desired baseband after that restore your nandroid backup.

What to restore, just data?
thanks for replying.

Well the nadroid backup restores the ROM whit all your settings and apps whit their data. Since the baseband flash wipes/data.

For rooting I suggest super one click:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
To install CWM recovery the easiest way, download ROM Manager from market and flash the recovery from there. Then you can boot into recovery from ROM Manager as well.

edit: deleted

Yup. Thanks. Now its time to gather some courage. Anything could happen.

Oh yeah I forgot that you will need a matching RIL for your baseband, for that download GetRIL from market or LG RIL version. And good luck

[Q] Why i can never flash kernels?

hi there,
im still new to the o2x (got my phone yesterday) but i is comfortable with flashing android. i used to own a milestone and flashing roms but not KERNELS.
So my prooblem here is that i can never flash a kernel it will either end up in a boot loop or screen will just turn black. M i missing something here?
History;
1)Phone came with GB update yesterday.
2)rooted with the NVflash method.
3)DOwnloaded Rom manager and flash CWR via the app("flash CWR").
3)Then flashed CM7 stable.
p/s: i never flash any baseband, RIL...
I also picked the correct kernel that states for CM7..
and also im using a 8gb sd card.
your advice will be highly appreciated. thank you very muchh!!~

Hello!
Ok, 1st when you come from a stock GB you need to flash a baseband that is woking with CM7 as the stock GB-baseband is not...
Always before flashing format /cache, /system and wipe dalvik.
Install CM7-stable/nightly/KANG
Install gapps
Install kernel
Reboot
1st reboot might end in boot loop - pull battery after a few minutes - then you should be good to go.
If you still have a boot loop recheck everything. Maybe redownload rom or kernel – it might be broken.

thank you very much for your pm and reply. So implanning to revert back to froyo so that i dont need to flash any baseband am i right?. and try again...anyway is ril important?
on a side note, from wwhat i know, u need to flash the baseband that is closest to your country m i right? but im abit confuse after reading the post about baseband because they say certain baseband is better than the others.
Ok im a bit confuse now... so sorry dude...wht do you suggest I do now.. currently im on CM7 stable. just wanna flash the kernel.
1) i wanna revert back to stock to start all over gain. but i dont know which i to choose there r so many to choose..V20, v10 etc..which 1 is for CM7?...
**my aim is cm7 stable with [CM7 KERNEL][Dec12-REBASEv2] ironkrnL -- vork's bastard stepson**
2) i should flash baseband after this rite?..same prob...which 1 to choose?
lets say i flash this BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0.zip. can i just flash any random baseband or it needs to be in the same category'??
thank you very much for your advice...

MY GOAL: stable CM7 + ironkrnL -- vork's bastard stepson
ok heres an update...i reverted back to stock...
Android version:2.3.4
baseband: 1035.21_20110225 (does this mean that it is 0725?)
kernel version: 2.6.32.9
build number: GRJ22
LGE version: LGP990-V20e
it is based on the stock firmware:
BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0.zip
1)So my plan is, Im gonna root it with this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
(w busy box installed)
2)then im gonna download Rom Manager from market and install CWM from the app.
3) after this im gonna backup the whole rom and start flashing bbaseband (which i dont know which i too choose yet rite now. after much reading, some say the 0218 is good for CM7 stable so im gonna use that.
4) ill be wiping everything (data/cache/dalvik) and flash 1) CM7 stable 2) Google apps 3) the target kernel accordingly.
let see how it goes.I hope i ll be right this time...

that kernel was very unstable for me, had tons of reboots and bootloops . maybe try an other kernel if it doesnt work.

use vorkkernel if iron kernel gives you reboot and bootloop
why don't use nvflash recovery from paul obrien.
Code:

don't forget to install get ril app

Thanks for your reply. Yeah..i only had the chance to use nvflash once. After i flash cm7 , i have to press both volme up and down and usb instead of just pressing volume down and usb. Because of that i m always stuck at "nvflash started"
at last...i had nvflash working....thank the gods!....It appears tht u have to keep on trying until u it works for nvflash to execute..(I was stuck a " nvflash started ").
so heres a question. what baseband is usable for CM7 stable?..
after i flashed the based, basically i just hav to get the app get ril and im done for the first stage right?

Hello!
Any baseband compatible with Froyo is working with CM7.
I would use 0725 or 0823 some people recommend 0622 - they say it has least battery drainage...
For me personally 0823 works best since it gives me better reception indoors, which is far more important than battery life (at least to me ).
But you might have to do your own tests, since this might be influenced by factors like Provider and personal profile of usage.
I would recommend you start with 0725.
The best guide is this German one…
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html
English How-Tos are here…
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
I would say download baseband from 23.08.11(BB 0823) or 25.07.2011(BB 0725) from the German page at handy-faq.de and follow the English How-To.
The baseband Zipfile from Version 0823 contains 4 files – flash them in descending order of size. Baseband 0725 is only one file – this might be easier…
After this boot back to recovery install CM7, install gapps and kernel if needed…
Get GetRIL from the market (you could place this on you SD-card before) or LG RIL Version and download/install the corresponding RIL-Version…
Then reboot and you should be good to go…

...and BTW: I wouldn't use CM7 stable since this is rather old now and since its release there have been a vast amount of bug fixes and new features added.
I would go for the latest KANGs (see my sig.).
A2DP Bluetooth support for instance is now perfect. My phone connects to my cars radio and build in hands free unit without glitches, whenever Bluetooth is activated– that didn’t work with CM7 stable! Audio streaming works perfectly etc.
And if you want to save one step and you are planning in flashing a stock rom 1st because you fell your phone is messed up – use a froyo based rom 10d or something and you don’t need to flash a new baseband…
…and yes to have a corresponding RIL is important since a matching BB/RIL compo makes reception better and helps prevent glitches and crashes – but installing a corresponding/matching RIL is easy (see above).

thanks alot.... im now using 0622 (ginger) with the compatible 0622 ril based on LG getRil. what i did was i flash a froyo rom with nvflash. then flash baseband with smartflash tool. then i flash cm7. everything was right until....the kernel part...i downloaded the the vorkkernel app and downloaded the kernel from there. Still no success in flashing the kernel..the screen will just go black and continue that way...sigH~..i wonder what is the problem...
i ll try the kang in your signiture..Im sleepless for ddays because of this kernel..
P/S; iwonder why i cant wipe dalvik cache. it says "E:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]"

Hello!
Again gingerbread based basebands aren’t compatible with CM7 - they might work at first but you get loss of signal, crashes etc.
No need to flash new baseband when you come from a froyo based rom!
I wouldn’t use vorkkernel since it is to old – use ironkrnL.
CM7 stable is very old – use latest KANG.

Use either no ramhack version or 32MB ramhack version (but reboot won't work 32MB hack - but it is faster).
Wouln't use higher ramhack version since some things like camera or video recording certain games etc won't work anymore.
Best compromise for me is the 32MB hack since these extra 32MB speed up things considerably and only reboot doesn’t work – I can do without it. Shut down and then reboot isn’t that bad.

mr medicineman...u really made my day...i would like to elaborate more but let me digest what u have said first..will cme back later for some credits and how u helped me solve it..

Hello!
This depends on the version of ROM you flash...
i.e. v10d Euro open contains BB/RIL 0725 - if you flash something older you might get an older BB.
But 0622 is fine - it is even recommend by certain forums because some people report better battery life with it compared to the newer BBs – so if your reception is ok with that, no need to change it.

Stability problem

Hello, I'm using Semaphore + CM10 JB for few weeks (installed with your support).
However I have a problem. The stability. My phone likes to resets byself, even few times per day. It happens irregularly. What's interesting, sometimes phone resets to the CWM. Sometimes resets and backs to work, sometimes totally offs the phone (and i need to pull out the battery) or freeze on cyanogenmod start screen (but not on normal start, only when resets)
Sometimes it happens when i'm using the phone, sometimes not. He likes to do that when i'm sleeping (for example, goes to the CWM and discharge the battery by whole night on full bright).
And much smaller, but maybe important issue: when the phone starts, shows the message Warning! A problem was detected with your device. Your device IMEI number is invalid. And invalid IMEI number could cause network issues including the inability to call emergency numbers.
Firstly I installed CM10, i had the problems with the network, but after @xsenman's help (reinstall with older ROM before flashing CM10) everything works correctly and i can see IMEI too. I made an EFS backup in that old ROM, should i use that? This message doesn't intrude me, but i'm just thinking if this could be connected with reseting problems. My SGS works really nice, but that one issue is really annoying.

100 views and really no one can help?
Come on, i feel so lonely

I'd recommend flashing a clean GB stock, restoring your IMEI, flashing CM9 twice and then flashing CM10 ROMs (if you want them lol). Always be sure that you wipe your phone after installs.
Sent from my Gameboy Color

thanks for your answer. However, maybe it's not a ROM problem? Maybe some application makes an issue. Is there any log where i can check that?

That IMEI stuff definitely isn't app-caused. I can only repeat my statement above. Don't worry about data, you can backup everything using Titanium Backup and SMS Backup+.
Btw: What ROM are you on?
Best regards
Sent from my Gameboy Color

True, IMEI not, but it's not a real issue for me. Actually, i'm absolutely satisfied of my i9000 (maybe flashlight absence, but it's hardware). Everything works fine, but reseting problem makes me nervous when I use the phone as car dvr or for endomondo ect.
I use Cyanogenmod 10, one of october's nightly versions.

So basically you don't want to change anything but you want us to help you? Sorry, that's not the way a community works.

You didn't understand me. My problem is phone reseting. I want to find the reason of the issue. Because without it, i can install new software and still have the same problem.

Since when has this problem occurred? I doubt an app makes a phone reset itself.
Edit: I looked around your post history and you seem to have posted in the semaphore thread. Maybe something is wrong with the kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9000

Thanks for your answer. It's hard to say because I've flash a ROM and out of hand I installed the applications. It's the worst type of problems, because it doesn't happen instantly or regularly. Actually since i wrote the topic, i didn't see the problem, however i saw two-three times the attention about IMEI, so i think, the phone resets, but not seen.
/// amerkiller: you are using i9000 too, could you recommend me any other ROM? Probably I will need to install a ROM and wait, two-three days and check if the ROM makes any issues.
/// maybe, but how can i check it? It looks like work nice, my question in Semaphore's thread was about the features

I use Remics-JB, you can try it out if you want a Samsung touchwiz feel, and apps from the S3.
Slimbean if you want a minimalist ROM.
Hopefully, the problem will disappear.

Edit: regarding the kernel, you can flash Devil and see if the problem persists.

Ok, so i want to reflash my i9000. So - i have JVU's gingerbread ROM, is that correct stock ROM? Should i make the WIPE here? I'm not sure about restoring IMEI. Should i do that in GB's temporary ROM or (as I think) later in JB's? Of course, earlier I need to backup the efs folder with IMEI so i think i should do that in GB's and restore it in CM10 (or in Slimbean which I want to test). And one more doubt. You said flashing CM9 twice. Why is that? And how can I do that if i'm installing the ROM in CWM?

You can find tutorials about flashing to stock.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Flashing the stock ROM will recover your IMEI number if you currently don't have it and will wipe your personal files. Backup your IMEI while you're on GB and if you lose it, then restore it. Fyi I never lost my IMEI, it's not common. You should flash JB / cm10 twice, ICS/cm9 should be okay after one flash. Remember to wipe if the instructions say so.
When you'll attempt to flash cm10 in recovery, you'll get a warning about partition change. You'll have to chose to flash second time, this time it should work and the phone will reboot into a bootloop. Pull out the battery and enter recovery and flash cm10 again. This time it well install and reboot successfully.

Hi, thanks for your interest
Two days ago I made a re-flash Stock > CWM > CM9 (twice) > CM10
Attention about IMEI doesn't longer appear
I've installed apps. The phone has resets for a one time when I was using some app. It is not a big problem for me if SGS makes that from time to time (maybe some apps are not adapted to the JB very well). However today I used him to record my drive (dailyroads voyager) and when i tried to stop the recording, he doesn't backs to life (just I needed to pull the battery out) and video file was corrupted. But when I was getting back to home it worked correctly. I have no idea why that's happen.

Restarts shouldn't happen that was some unusual circumstance. The video problem is weird, post here if it happens again, lets hope its just bad luck.

Ok, I'll look on it.
I have one other question and maybe you will know.
Call recording. There are two options for use this feature. Simple MIC recording apps and 'two-way call recording' which is much better, however it needs kernel with handle of it. I didn't find anyone for SGS, so I want to use MIC recording. There are many apps in Google Play. However any of them makes 0kB files of record on JB's CM10. When I was using gingerbread it didn't worked too however files were good, but the second side of call didn't hear me.

In regards to two way recording, i don't think it's solved...

I never needed that feature, so i won't be much help, try different apps and remember some apps are on XDA, not only the play store.

I saw that, but it is only for Froyo, when i installed it into gingerbread i needed to re-flash my SGS
I tried a lot of apps, however it looks like being locked (if worked they made 0kB files)

[Solved] [4.2.2+] No Network Signal - Any fixes?

I have a S3 Mini I8190N, Baseband I8190NXXALL6, on Three Ireland.
I've tried all of Maclaw's CM10.2 roms for the last month, along with some of OliverG96's releases, and none of them show up any network signal for me, and won't let me search for networks, almost as if the rom can't use the hardware radio.
The stock 4.1.2 rom works perfect.
I've tried changing my baseband from I8190NXXALL6 to I8190NXXAMG1, and that made no difference.
(Stock still has perfect signal, Maclaws CM10.2 has no signal at all)
I've also looked through the build.prop files and compared them to the working stock build.prop, but I don't really think tweaks in there will fix this.
Seeing as this possibly could be a hardware issue, is there a file defining what radio hardware my phone has, like /proc/cpuinfo does for the cpu?
Anyone have suggestions on how i could fix (or help fix) this issue?
I can test suggestions and provide logcats if anyone requires?
EDIT:
Problem solved! seems there were some issues with my modemfs, and golden-guy's suggested fix here worked.

did you make a clean or dirty install?
if dirty try a clean install.

Same bug here and also Oliver96 has the same problem s.s

I've tried a dirty install, a clean (factory reset) install, and I've even went into ODIN, flashed a complete stock rom, TWRP, and then put CM10.2 on after that with a factory reset.

Do you also have an I8190N? I'm trying to work out if its a hardware thing (like maybe we have a different hardware revision) or if its something we can actually fix. Is OliverG96 trying to solve this or is he just working on having a working rom for the majority?

same problem
i have got the same problem too.
got back to original samsung firmware und stock recovery... nothing
i am from germany und tried out any available basebands... nothing
on any stock, theres no problem, but if i want to get some roms e.g. from maclaw.pl i cant get signal at all

No, I have the I8190 normal version like OliverG96, and I don't know if he is working on a fix.
The strange thing is some users have the bug and some users not.
Also I have this bug with paranoid rom, pac rom and aokp.
On the contrary with Dmod v6 I don't have any issue, probably because it is based on official firmware, I don't know sincerly.

i also think that the problem doesnt come up when u are using any rom which is based on stock firmware.
any custom rom which is using its own firmware doesnt get any signal
btw.: i am in the net of telco (o2)

Hi, i also use O2 (directly) and had never problems with any CM-ROM of Maclaw.
You checked the APN??? Maybe you have to use a different one.

build.prop tweaks
Did some of you already try adding/tweaking some attributes in /system/build.prop?
There are quite some available to get better signal:
persist.cust.tel.eons=1
ro.config.hw_fast_dormancy=1
I did not try these myself, as I don't have any RIL issues, so use them at your own risk. Reboot afterwards for the changes to apply.

Hi
There was similar problem with SGS1 long ago, it was caused by wrong IMEI. Check your IMEI with stock ROM and then with CM rom.

hey there, i looked up my imei with *#06# and got two different results.
the aokp custom rom shows me the same imei as the stock. but at stock, i get additionally "/ 01" at the end of the imei. the custom rom doesnt show this

I compared the maclaw 10.2 build.prop with my own functioning stock build.prop and changed most of the attributes about with no luck. I've also tried both those suggested options, but they seem to be more for improving signal strength rather than actually getting a signal, I didn't see any changes using them.

Like mausdefekt, I get two slightly different results from *#06#.
My IMEI matches up, but when i'm running a non-stock based rom, my IMEI SV is 00 for some reason.

Guys, just back up your EFS partition and restore after you flash CM roms. You wouldn't have this kind of problems if you were using TWRP you know.

Ive tried that too, no difference. Also tried it with factorymode set both on and off.
I'm using Maclaw's TWRP 2.6.3.0 with kitkat support atm, I've never used any non-TWRP recovery.

Hey,
I am running CM-10.2 on my S3 Mini (Oliver's cm-10.2-20131116-UNOFFICIAL-golden) and RIL is working just fine. So I would not think that there is a general issue with RIL on custom ROMs. Rather, the way how you switch from stock to custom might have an impact on RIL...
You could try going back to stock, verify RIL is working again as expected and then start flashing anew following my approach using heimdall: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537520
Since when I switched from stock to custom, I exactly did that. And I never had any issue with RIL on any custom ROM I have installed since then - which was basically all versions since the 20130928 release.
Cannot tell if that works out for you, but it's definitely worth a try
Btw, I did not check the additional "/01" in the IMEI output when I was still on stock. Running custom I get the very same output - just the IMEI, without this suffix. In the "about phone" section, the relevant IMEI SV entry does read "01" for me.

I wonder if your cellphone is SIM-locked...

hi
i've a similar issue:
tried all maclow roms (4.1 and 4.2), in standby no network signal.
When I plug the phone to AC all works fine, in standby without AC no network signal.
I've tried setcpu to raise min. cpu to 1ghz, nothing.
What's wrong? On AC all works fine!

I factory reset, flashed back to complete stock I8190NXXALL6 (it's 4.1.2) using ODIN, and everything worked perfect. From there I followed your guide to flash CWM recovery, then flashed maclaw's cm 10.2 (20131123) but I still had the same RIL issue.
Then I tried flash the stock rom with heimdall instead of ODIN initially and then follow your guide, same result.
Then I downloaded the odin version of maclaw's CM 10.2 (20131122) and flashed it directly with heimdall. same result.
After that, I took apart both the stock and odin cm 10.2 versions, and tried use heimdall to flash a hybrid version of the two:
Stock: STEboot1.img, STEboot2.img, Modem.bin
CM10.2: boot.img, system.img, recovery.img
Still had no signal at all, so I flashed TWRP 2.6.3.0 recovery and restored back to my usual stock-based backup.

I checked (borrowed an o2.ie sim from a roommate) and it is network-locked to Three Ireland, but with my last phone (Samsung Galaxy Spica - I5700) it didn't affect using custom roms so I honestly didn't consider that... Do you think my problem could be that my device is network locked? Would that really cause this?

I just tried to see if i'd get any sort of signal on maclaw roms by plugging my phone into AC... no joy for me there either
Does it have signal if its plugged in then the phone is turned on, or can you get signal at any time just by plugging into AC? like:
*Turn on phone* > standby (on battery) - no signal > *plug into AC* > standby (on AC) - signal > *unplug AC* > standby (on battery) - no signal
Sounds like your problem could be more hardware based than mine? something to do with voltages possibly? I'm really not sure what to suggest.

The thing is, that operators and brands, on earlier devices, put some limitations on the devices. For example, if you buy a Sony smartphone from 2011 and forward that is SIM-locked, you won't be able to flash any custom kernel at all. Can someone with the same problem confirm that their phones are SIM-locked?

So assuming thats the issue, would getting a network unlock code allow me to use custom kernels and roms?
