baseband unknown - LG Optimus Black

hello guys, if you dont mind could you help me
i have a problem with my LG marquee. well its on zvc stokrom with no root.
i try to downgrade with any method but still didnt get any succeed.
trying with other methode on other forum that using 12second count i never make it
my only problem is my baseband "unknown"
dont know what to do, trying to factory reset it still unknown baseband.
tell me what to do to get my baseband works again
thx

Are you sure, this is stock software? Looks like CM7... Dont you have network at all, or what's the problem? Can you get a hold on any software in KDZ or .bin/.fls format? If yes, why dont you try to flash it to your phone? Did you maybe accidently enable flight mode?

yes i dont have all my network
this is my first marquee i have it from ebay.
dont know if it's CM7 but i think it's stokrom
i try to enter recovery it's on blue recovery without any dalvik wipe.
just wipe data and cache and reboot.
i try kdz method using KDZ_FW_UPD_EN on this site never load to flash the kdz file it's always run on normal boot, i try 5-20 second still missed the flashing mode, im hopeless
can you tell me what i'll have to do?

You need to use the KDZ workaround in my noob how to. Hmm, could you post another screenshot maybe, where I can see, if it is v20x or v10x or CM7.
You could also go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191 unpack the kdz to bin and fls files, patch it with CWM, flash the software with smartflash (look into my noob how to for more information, see 3rd post), make a full wipe, once ur in the recovery menu, flash superuser.apk and see if it works then. If not, you at least have a rooted phone already and are able to use the RIL changer (look in playstore).

N00BY0815,
I also found I have unknown baseband (suddenly the phone works well). I am now on v28c and eagerly waiting for your v30b repack to give it a try. But before I do it, just a question - will you fulfill your promise to provide a flashable baseband (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35429425&postcount=675)? If so, I would prefer to wait, since this probably would be the most comfortable for me - have your flashable repack and baseband.
EDIT: Don't bother N00BY0815, I'll flash fls as you advised in another thread

Possible way of getting ROOT + 4G (HSDPA) speed for p925 (rogers or at-t)

Hello everyone, I know post are existing in the development section for this but I think I may have a way to get 4G speed on p925(g) (rogers optimus 3d and at-t lg thrill) combined with root.
EDIT #2: If kdz flashing worked for you but isn't working anymore for no reason, please read this before asking : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22023493&posted=1#post22023493 lg effers blocked the acess to kdz flashing since their last version updater
I'm not a pro Dev but mods will be happy, before posting I READ and try to post something usefull.
As I was searching a way to get a better bb for my rogers optimus 3d I found many interesting things but all were uncomplete.
1. The LG Optimus 3d seems to simply be a LG thrill (don't be fooled by the G in P925G it seems many ppl are just ommiting the G to do shorter)
2. This post : forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449021
(pull off the two spaces after xda-)
Showed me that there was a working stock gingerbread ROM from Brazil that is having the right frequencies to give 4G on rogers (tested by myself and it's a GO!) and on at-t.
The only problem with this rom is that currently There seems to be no way to root it (not even the latest superoneclick 2.3.3 can do it).
So basically it's not that bad because you've got the choice of getting STOCK GINGERBREAD WITH 4G SPEED ON P925 by flashing v20a kdz (follow first link)
But many of us want to get further. ROOT + 4G is almost a requirement for a phoen to be respected according to me and many other.
So acording to the post there is 4 THEORETICAL ways to get root + 4G on a p925
1. Follow the instruction in the post, and if you're one of the lucky bast**ds for who the second kdz installation doesn't push the european bb well you're good to go but even after 5 times repeating the process the bb was always getting flashed.
2. Get the superoneclick guys craking, so we can get Root access on the brazilian ROM
3. Get who knows who cracking the brazilian or european kdz file to isolate the bb (from brazilian) or the ROM (from european) and then flash them in the according order to get a rootable ROM + the brazilian bb together (we know they are compatible since bast**ds from #1 are still getting data).
4. Install only the ROM from someone who would post an european .bin (without bb) of v21a to be installed over the full brazilian kdz.
So basically i'm widening the call for this .bin file search but I think there might be another way!!!!
I've seen phones reacting different ways when combining a froyo baseband on a gingerbread ROM.
a. the phone bootloops
b. there is no signal but phone boots fine
So basically if the p925 is doig b. it would be possible at the place of searching a v21a bin (that seems hard to find) flash a rootable froyo bin . So I'd like to know if any of you still have one of the rootable bin that were found in this post : forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
I would have already tried for myself but since megaupload closed fileserve does not support share anymore....
So if someone could provide me with
a. one of the rootable .bin file in this post :
forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
and I'll tell ya if it's a WIN or if we have to get back craking!!!
b. Tell me if this workaround fits:
1. Flash V20a brazil kdz (found here forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449021
2. Flash a rootable froyo .bin using this method
forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
3. Root the froyo ROM
4. Install CWM
5. Flash a gingerbread rom made for p920 NOT FOR p925
6. TELL US THE RESULT!!!
BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE FLASHING KDZ AND BIN FILES... I'M NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENING TO YOUR PHONE. BUT IF AS ME YOU GOOGLE AND READ YOU'LL PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO UNBRICK... DON'T ASK I WON'T DO THE GOOGLE FOR UNBRICKING YOU!!!
so I know it's a long post but.. I prefered to go into details and expose my point right with all the sources article
Good luck to all and KEEP ON CRAKING!!!

try that out its the thrill froyo bin
Does not work. It still restores the froyo baseband. If you delete the baseband from the folder the flashtool won't work at all.
I don't think that's going to happen yet

You can flash just the .bin file i thought

I couldn't it just kept saying error in the lgflashtool. With the fls and bin in the same folder it flashed but replaced the radio in the process.
Hmm i wish i had time to get on the comp and try this on mine right now

I'm going to try it when I get home, and i'm going also to try with a blank .fls file just to see if it flashes nothing.
Don't know if it's my windows 7 environment but i'm getting some trouble even before the software trying to flash... I enter the .dll file then the .bin without the .fls and when I click ok the program automatically crashes... Any idea what it could be so that I can try to flash the froyo bin over my v20a baseband?
Are you running as admin?

doahhh thanks very much trying this right nao!
No... didn't do anything... I'm getting a local environment error... :-(
Try rebooting comp and do it

ooops just found the problem.. I was using a wrong dll it was crashing the app sorry guys
Going to try the method right after a good nand backup
No i havent had time been busy working i only get on here on my breaks

Now that I managed to repair my LGFlash tool.. it's my kdz utility that seems broken.... when in R&D test tool I follow instructions.. after clicking normal web upgrade test and upgrade start. At the place of getting the clear registery country choosing and everything.. I get only Lg updater to open and tell me my firmware is already up to date.. Any solution to this so I can FINALLY test my method...

[Q] Stock apps/ROM reset

I just got a rooted Optimus 2x. It has the stock ROM. The previous owner had removed many stock apps including Google Talk, music player which I would want to reinstall but I can't reach him now.
It has some backups because of Root Uninstaller, but not every app is there.
I found some links for all Optimus 2x stock apps but they aren't working anyome.
Is there any way I can reinstall these apps? Or do I have to reflash the stock firmware or something?
You should reflash
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA
So before I reflash can anyone confirm if this is what I should be doing?

Also after I flash it, I will have to root it again, right?
After u flash the stock firmware, the baseband will be flashed as well. So unless the stock baseband is not working with ur network u dun have to flash the baseband again,
Yes, u will have to root again

Stock ROM through CWM

Hi everyone. I have a LG Optimus Black and I need to take it to service. Because I root-ed and installed custom rom I need to go back to stock version. I have a little problem because my computer doesn't recognize the phone anymore so I can't use smartflash. Does anyone of you know another way to return to stock version? Can I flash stock trough CWM? I need v10b. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice evening and thank you for your answers!
try to change usb port, not usb 3.0 but on usb 2.0 in SW mode for able to use SFT
I already tried that. I even tried a different computer. Does no one have a stock version that I could flash trough CWM? Even if it is ICS ore something like that. Thanks a lot anyway!
with lg Tools maybe, LGMobile Update (B2C), support, recovery phone.

you do realize that flashing even a stock rom through cwm will still not make the phone "stock". you'd still have cwm installed and need to get rid of that. try flashing a kdz instead...

His post stated he has a problem with his USB. Flashing kdz or files in SmartFlash is not an option.
The link posted above is not a regular "stock" ROM. It's a project that contains stock "recovery.img" inside the zip. Like what was discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224465
It is the same adding the unlocked bootloader together with the recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394 on a flashable zip or any .img on a certain partition.
Code:
package_extract_file("x-loader.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1");
package_extract_file("u-boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");

[BASEBANDS][TUTORIAL] Freedom! Choose your baseband.

Up until now, this topic has largely remained in the dark. Not anymore however!
I have figured out how to flash different basebands onto our phone. Unfortunately, at the moment, doing so requires a "factory reset" of sorts, and you will have to re-flash the recovery image and restore your nandroid backup afterwards.
I look forward to finding a better way, but this will suffice, I think, if you, like me, have had terrible GPS problems.
The main use for replacing the baseband is bad GPS signal. Best results have been reported using the ICS basebands for people with trouble getting a signal / finding satellites.
!!DISCLAIMER!!
This is probably not for the uninitiated. It will most likely be fine, but I give no guarantees whatsoever. I paid attention when putting this together, but the only baseband I have tested myself is the V10H - EUR, that is currently running on my phone.
If you end up without IMEI, unable to make phone calls, your phone doesn't boot, I am not responsible and might not be able to help you.
I HIGHLY recommend you have your bootloader unlocked before you try this. I don't know if it will work with a locked one, it might, but I wouldn't try it.
However if you pay attention, are careful and follow instructions, you should be fine.
Pre-requesites:
Hex Editor (I use HxD in windows - http://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/)
LG Flash Tool with working drivers (please see this great tutorial by SnXo about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179126)
Model firmware (See below)
Baseband you mean to flash (See below)
Tutorial:
Download and extract the "Model firmware" and the baseband you mean to flash and place them under a folder named Baseband
Open the Hex Editor
With the Hex Editor, open the baseband file.
You will see a bunch of numbers and letters, nevermind them. Just make sure the first four blocks of the file are numbered 30 12 95 78, they should be, if not STOP and use another baseband. Also warn me so I can correct it,
Now that you have all selected, right click, select all and copy.
DO NOT CLOSE THE HEX EDITOR.
Now open the model firmware file (it ends in .dz)
Open the search dialog box. You want to search for "INSERT" and datatype "text string" - should be in a drop box somewhere.
Now you will see on the left a bunch of Fs with INSERT FLS HERE in the middle. Select everything between and INCLUDING the first and last F on the block. (the first and last block should be addressed 2484 and 24D3, respectively).
Right-click and paste
If it warns you the file size will change, say you're okay with it.
Now save the file and call it "Flash.dz"
MAKE SURE YOUR BATTERY IS WELL ABOVE 50% BEFORE PROCEDING!!
Now flash the .dz file you just created with the X3_v0.0.7.4.dll using the LG Flash Tool as per instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179126
Congratulations! You are now running the baseband of your choice. Let it boot, root it, flash the recovery, restore your nandroid and presto!

!!ALTERNATE METHOD FOR JB BASEBANDS!!
The tutorial above is the only method available to flash ICS basebands at the moment. To flash JB basebands, however, if you prefer, you can grab the full roms from here (the corresponding countries are between parentesis above):
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
and flash the .kdz file with LG PC Suite hacker or KDZ flasher. You can find more information about that here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2134192
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
Then just proceed to root and flash your nandroid backup as usual, The baseband will be kept.
Thanks to Flying_Bear for reminding me to include this method!
Commentary and what to expect:
Using the 10H baseband did wonders for my GPS. It might do for you to if you had great GPS on ICS but not on JB. Different region basebands might make a difference too, I'm not sure how they differ from each other.
I am not a developer, just a user like you who had a problem and decided to tackle it in the ways he knew. If you want to help or have any relevant input, please don't be shy, I will listen and be greatful for it.
You might have noticed there is a short list on the ICS baseband side. That is because there are many more left to add but I didn't want to delay making this guide any longer.
Also, I will try to make an executable to automate this byte replacing process, but make no promisses. My coding skills are limited and so is my time - if you'd like to do it, feel free to do so. I'll put your work here and give you full credit!
If you're an advanced user or developer, wondering about RILs and whatnot, don't change the RIL. I'm not sure it'll work for every single baseband here, but for the 10H - EUR, the 20A - EUR and the 20B - HKG it works fine. Changing the RIL breaks the phone and you have to restore a backup.
The basebands were extracted from .dz file of stock firmwares downloaded from the LG website. The name is that which is in the .dz file after extraction from the .kdz and the basebands listed differ in md5 checksum from each other. How they are different, I have no idea.
I'll put a FAQ up with the most asked questions, if there are any.
Cheers!

thanks for this, i have pretty crappy gps on any of 20x variations, so i'll try ICS baseband either tonight or tomorrow. thanks again!
Will flashing a different baseband resolve baseband wakelock which is a big battery drainer on my LG?
also, a tip - you dont need to use lgflashtool to change basebands between 20x versions - you can flash kdz trough lg pc suite hacker or kdz flasher, then restore your nandroid backup. the method described here is useful to get 10x basebands, since you cant just flash kdz to rollback to ics.

I'm not sure, give it a shot. But I believe that is a different issue that is kernel related.

Thanks for the tip! Actually, I am aware of that. It's just that I really like LGFlashTool better. Also, thought it would be a good idea to systematize the different basebands availible under one flashing method, to be less confusing, and to save the good people downloading some bandwith (5 mbs baseband vs. 500 mb full rom). Also, it's a complex method, but at least it's just one!

for me, lgflashtool seems like a hit and miss, i had some issues gettting it to work right now. flashing the modified .dz with 10h bb atm. i agree it's better to have unified method, the kdz one can stay as an alternative to people who have bunch of kdzs lying around (like me, had 20a & 20b leaks, 20a eu, 20a esa & 20b hk, tried all of their basebands and gps locator was slower than what i remember on ics) or dont feel comfortable working with flashtool, or have issues with it etc.
edit:
flashed modified .dz, no issues as of yet, gonna restore nandroid backup now (first root & recovery setup, /yawn), and we'll see how it goes

for me, lgflashtool seems like a hit and miss, i had some issues gettting it to work right now. flashing the modified .dz with 10h bb atm. i agree it's better to have unified method, the kdz one can stay as an alternative to people who have bunch of kdzs lying around (like me, had 20a & 20b leaks, 20a eu, 20a esa & 20b hk, tried all of their basebands and gps locator was slower than what i remember on ics) or dont feel comfortable working with flashtool, or have issues with it etc.
edit:
flashed modified .dz, no issues as of yet, gonna restore nandroid backup now (first root & recovery setup, /yawn), and we'll see how it goes

Let me know if it works for you! I had some luck with the HK 20A baseband, but the 10H really fixed it for me. Also, added your method to the original post
A proof it works I'll test gps tomorrow to see if i have improvements. Thank you!
edit:
actually, just went to my windows to test it lol, got a signal in under than a minute, while it took over 10 on JB baseband. thank you again
Very nice work! Can see that a lot of research went into this.
Will give it a try later.
Did you try to flash only baseband naming it *.fls? Very nice work! Thanks for figuring this out.

Well, so which baseband is the best? Anyone could test?
Why is there no way to flash a new baseband like flashing a kernel with flashing in cwm?

Will flashing a different baseband resolve baseband wakelock which is a big battery drainer on my LG?

I wonder this too...
I have seen that not everybody has problem with baseband wakelock. In my country,I know people that dont have baseband problems so I thought it might be a thing with baseband version..That would be easy fix,just flash the different basebad and problem solved!

Unfortunately renaming the file .fls won't work, the process will fail, and I know why. The LG Flash Tool needs a proper header to know where to place these files. Removing the other parts of the .dz file and keeping the header won't work, and I really don't know where to find documentation on this. This process is possible for example on the LG Optimus 2X, because there are effective tools to unpackage the .wdb file (contained in the .kdz) into separate parts with the appropriate headers. For the .dz files our phone uses there is no such tool, and the headers between the files show no resemblance. This needs further research!

Of course this was my first approach, as you will see if you check my thread on general asking for help. To flash something in CWM you need to know what files you are replacing, where they are and what partition they belong to. This is possible for example on the Nexus 7 3G or the HOX. However, on our phone, I was unable to locate the baseband files, and as far as I can tell they do not belong in any partition CWM can write to. This seems to be the way LG phones are designed, as it is the same for the LG Optimus 2X. I might be wrong though, so figure it out if you can

Give it a try man, it's not that hard or time consuming. It might work.

I'm living in Portugal and so far have excellent results with the V10H-EUR baseband, both in terms of GPS and 3G signal. So seems to Flying_Bear. But there are so many, who knows which one is the best? The more we try the more we'll know!
Dumb question.
Would flashing a baseband help with my lost IMEI?
My phone died and after recovering to CyanogenMod, and then back to stock, my IMEI has disappeared. I've tried flashing Cyaonogen nightlies but it hasn't worked.

I would need more information, but that would seem the effects of a corrupt baseband. You should flash a fresh .dz or .kdz file and see if it fixes it.

Have tried flashing both .dz and .kdz files.
One just fails every time at 23s, the other fails every time at WParam = 2010 Iparam = 207
