So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.
Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?
I would like ics on it

Well ICS stock rom OR CM?
You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROM´s are build for the new one.
So CM, MIUI or Stock based?
Stock

Actually wouldn't I need fido OS on it if I can reuse my code to unlock it again or would it be unlocked still.

Can you get into clockwork on it? May be an incompatible rom.
Incompatible with baseband.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
I got in there and have tried different roms. But the baseband "L6260_modem_SIC_01.1042.00" That doesn't seem right and could that be the problem?
Flash an LG thrill gingerbread rom. There are numerous links here. Do that then go to settings-wireless networks-mobile neteorks-apn settings. Then hit the menu button and click restore defaults.

That's the stock GB baseband.

And what do you mean it don't show phone as hooked up ... Are you putting it in download mode ? And did you make sure that you uninstalled the drivers from the computer restarted the computer installed the drivers then plugged the phone in cause if you used dark lestats return to stock and didnt follow it exactly it won't work
Sent from my Inspire 4g running blackOUT XL 2.0 ICS W/ sense 3.6
I had to fix mine. I flashed LG thrill stock rom rooted zip. You won't have any signal, then use the LG thrill update tool and update phone. Then use the dark lestats link to megatron root and one click recovery tool. Then flash a compatible rom like acidhazard or whatever u like. This should work. Let us know when you try this and we can go from there.
If you can't move from comp to phone maybe a friend could let you dl to their phone sim then put that sim into your phone. All that fun stuffs

Ok I did like you said returned to stock flashed a kdz file it took and works but only on edge. I a kdz file that has a v10 I think. Now I noticed another problem and I don't know if it is a hardware issue. But no that I can't get a mobile signal it won't read the sd card.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Not sure about the sd problem. So now that you went back to stock google the lg update tool. Or you can get ti from acidhazardrom.com. update your phone with it. It will be on android 2.3.5. You will have the same baseband, v20p.

I have a Captivate that I am using for a media player (no sim card). Right now I am running REMICS 4.2.
My son-in-law broke his phone and I want to let him use mine but he is on a different carrier.
Do I have to go back to stock or GB in order to unlock? And yes, I have tried the apps and the codes for checking lock/unlock does not work with JB.
Thanks in advance for any help!!!:good:

I think the app does work on JB gotta input the code while the other SIM card is in the phone.
If I'm wrong, you might need to be on stock GB but doesn't make much sense to me
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the JB Rom.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

yes, im having trouble sim unlocking my rogers tab.
I bought it used already unlocked, but when I put a different sim card , it shows locked
When I check lock (*#7465625#) I shows unlocked.
I bought a unlock code but its unsuccessful.
I was hoping downgrading to 3.2 might help but after some reading ,I don't think that will help
thank you for your reply , any help would be appreciated
Hi everyone,
As i stated, I have the gt-p1000n running stock GB 2.3.3
All info is in attached screenshots
My tab has been bricked and resurrected.
My problem is, the network capabilities are gone.
Will not recognize sim, yet will reboot when removed or inserted
I have read previous threads and searched, but the N model is hard to find for.
As i found in other threads, I have tried flashing: JP3 Modem (Gingerbread) 2.3.3 for P1000N by HumerOS but still doesnt work.
Should I flash a different modem.bin?
Will it brick me again?
Any and all help appreciated
Please help........someone.......anyone???
People use the word brick lightly.
You can brick your tab if you flash a Rom made for another device.
Or if the flashing was interrupted when it was writing the bootloader.
There is no way you brick your tab by flashing different modem.
Just go ahead and flash as many modems as you like.

Ok So i think i know what the problem is. When I checked the IMEI using *#06# it showed a different number than the number on the back casing. I think they (repair shop) might have changed my IMEI after JTAG??
Also, EFS backup shows different IMEI (same as in *#06#) and Serial number than on unit.
Suggestions?
the IMEI you posted earlier looks legit.
Could they have changed the back cover of your unit or the motherboard?
Usually, flashing a stock ROM from Samsung using Odin will restore your IMEI.

I cant say for sure about the MB, but I doubt they would replace the MB for free. The back cover is mine. There are distinct markings on it that I confirm it.
Now I remember, I also had this problem. My IMEI was also changed after flashing a ROM and I lost my network service, I think it was a CM nightly as well. I remember just getting the next nightly and it was fixed.

Right now the Tab is stock Froyo with the exception of being rooted. No Custom recovery yet and no ROM. I'm trying to fix the issue at hand first (already solved one problem).

Yeah, what I'm saying is that maybe flashing a new ROM might solve it. I don't think you've got anything to lose now, right?
Ok so as the screenshot shows I have a new nightly Rom, updated and all, yet the IMEI is the same (not the correct one), and the S/N changed yet again to a different number.
Im lost
Mods, please close
I want to install CM10.
My phone is from Verizon USA and now I have it in Mexico with another company, when I bought the phone the guy gave me the unlock code for the phone to be able to use any SIM
My question would be, if I install CM10 my phone will get locked again? And if so, with the same code I can unlock it again?
Thank u
No it unlocks at the hardware level so you are fine.

CM10 Stable?
Thank you NOw what worries me is some people saying there are problems with CM10 and GSM (not recognizing the SIM), but I was wondering, in case that happens, restoring the backup would it be fixed?
Has someone else tried CM10 and knows any bug or problems?
That is just a software bug if it happens to you. Easily fixable by going to a different ROM.
