Hello everyone.
I installed CWM 5.0.2.6 and then Cyanogen mod 9 succesfully. Then I changed it to "MIUI TOCAi 0.1.4" and it was working fine although it could not find my network. I tried searching manually but without success (it kept on showing up that it's not able to register to the network im choosing and that i should try again later.) It had simlock before so I tryed to unlock it using this thread "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204705". I got the code etc but I didnt know where to type it in. I turned the phone off and on hoping that the menu with this code request would pop out but it didnt so I replaced the sim card with another one. It still didnt pop out so I replaced it with the previous one and the phone bricked.
Im not able to get to CWM or to the system at all. Im only able to get to DL mode. I tried to unbrick it using this method "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071970" and few similar ones. I used multi and single package but without success.
The simlock was for "3" network. Tryed O2 and Vodafone simcards.
Is there any way to unbrick it without going to the service?
I'm going to post youtube links to show you how it looks in just a few minutes.

Looks like your efs partition (either stl5 or bml5) got corrupted. This cannot be fixed by flashing roms or stock roms, since its a sepparate partition. Network Unlocking the ace might result in a brick specially if not done from stock firmware.
i bricked my gio after network unlock too, it was due to the efs partition being messed up, i couldnt get it to boot normally or recovery (screen flashes then dies) but download works, and odin didnt solve anything, so i sent it in to samsung and got a new gio
to sum it up, you now have a nice paperweight
Hi
My phone suddenly stopped detecting all sim cards ( I have tried various working sims ).
It is running CM 7.2 and has been running cm 7.2 for a few months with no problems.
Today I took out the sim and put it back in to reboot, all was fine. I went to shower, came back and the sim suddenly stopped being detected.
I have tried to google but it seems most problems are to do with flashing a new rom and having the sim not work, my case is that the rom has been the same for a few months.
I have tried to flash different roms and I still have the same problem. I have a gut feeling it is the hardware that reads the sim that is faulty.
I have read something about a baseband, I dont know what that is but if it helps, when i go to the settings and click on 'about phone'
It says there is a baseband and it is version something. There are no question marks or anything like that.
I appreciate the help and would love some more troubleshooting suggestions.
The worst case scenario is unrooting it, flashing stock rom and send it back to warranty. I actually don't know how to do that so if anyone has a guide lying around please link me on that.
I have similar problem with new boot loader.
Download getril app from play store and see if your baseband is OK. If not, download and flash matching baseband from development thread. You will loose all personal data and your apps after flashing. Then download new ril with getril and reboot. Good luck...
This method was no helpful for me. Maybe you will have better luck.

Thanks for the reply,
When I first opened getril, it said RIL not found, I did not have one. I downloaded one and then it said RIL does not match. I then redid it on another firmware and it now says RIL and Baseband matches. Is this enough? The only weird thing is the baseband has canada and europe in it. I am from Australia. How do i tell which baseband/ril I need?

First you flash BB, then download RIL with GetRil. Read completely through BB sticky topic in development section. All answers are there.

You can flash as much as you want, none of that will help. Had same issue once, flashed almost everything there was through SmartFlash, NVflash and all of that. This is what you need to do:
First, remove the battery from your phone. Write down the IMEI. Now boot up your phone, write *#06# and see if the IMEI that pops up is the same as the one you saw behind the battery. If not, let us know and I'll hand you the solution, but first check if the IMEI matches.

I checked the IMEI and it matches.
I have some extra information if it helps, when I choose a random RIL from getril, the battery might become a ? mark and the sim card not detected error doesnt show anymore, however when I put it back to the original RIL, my battery bar starts showing the 'power left' and also the sim not detecting error shows again.

I get the SIM Toolkit Incompatible Handset error and then whether I press OK or Cancel, shortly after I lose mobile network access. I've been trying all manner of different things, Smart Flashing, NVflashing, changing basebands, Rils, you name it.
I'm currently on the V30B root ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064793 and the Ril matches the baseband from that ROM, but that hasn't helped either. So I went and check the in phone and behind battery IMEI and they are different! I'd love to hear what your solution to this is!

My problem was no service and IMEI unknown... Never managed to solve it. Reverted to old bootloader and problem solved.

IMEI Solution
If IMEI does NOT match, you will need to do this:
Check if you can get in a menu by typing 1809#*990#. If you can't, you will need to use a GB ROM (I remember I used Homero's GB NVFlash as I was on ICS bootloader and couldn't get access to it on ICS). Follow these steps if you are sure you can get into the menu:
1) Connect your phone by USB.
2) Enter 1809#*990# in dialer.
3) Select Port Setting -> Select CP USB
4) Install a program called Hyperterminal on your PC and open it. In COM settings select same port as in device manager -> LGE Mobile USB Seial Port (should be 115200)
5) Type at%imei and it should respond by saying OK
6) Now type at%imei and it should now display your current IMEI number.
7) Type at%imei=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where X is your original IMEI number.
8) Reset phone.
You might have to reboot your phone after step 3. But see if it works without.
I have been thinking that this is a hardware issue, I have not changed a single setting/rom/baseband at all, the sim just wasnt detecting when I came back to my phone. The rom and settings were the same for a number of months.
I am now going to give it in to warranty, however it only has 1 month left. I have tried to install the stock firmware but with no luck..
I found a rom to flash for my region, it is a zip file but when I try flash it with Clockworkmod, it says installation aborted....
Shouldnt I be able to flash the roms with CWM? The file is a zip file just like the CM7.2 rom I flashed. Do I need nvflash instead? I found the rom here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1852112 (the download links were removed so I googled the exact same rom)
I was also told that if I just use the LG update tool, it sohuld automatically update the phone to stock firmware AND unroot it, only that the update tool gives me an error. Whats the best approach guys?? I need to get this fixed before my warranty goes.

Bother. The 1890 etc didn't work on the p990 in android 4.0.4 (nor on my Nexus 4 incidentally), so I guess I'll have to flash down to GB. I'll let you know if I can get it to work, thanks!

Your imei should not show in settings, it should show in the back of your battery and when you dial : *#06# into the phone (where you dial numbers for calls).
Cant help you with baseband.
OP here, I am trying to unroot my phone and put stock firmware to get warranty to fix the simcard reader ( i believe it is a hardware issue ).
If I use nvflash and flash any stock firmware I can find on the internet, will that be OK? I have a feeling each region of optimus 2x has slight differences in firmware, eg swedish stock roms and australian stock roms may differ in the default applications etc.
Will it be ok to just install any kind of stock rom for my warranty? Help would be appreciated my warranty is running out in less than a month now.
I also tried to flash stock firmware with CMW, it didnt work. I am about to try NVflash, so I went into greater detail in page 1 but no one replied yet. If you guys know please help. I am more familiar with CMW than NVflash. I have not used NVflash yet.
hahah after 2 sleeples nights i menage to restore my sim to be recognize ,whit this metod,.. NFlash rulles ))

this is also the best metod for unbricking your phone, .
INSTALLATION:
ATTENTION
The flasher with NVFlash clears all memory, including the Internal SD., so make a backup if u can..
Download this file: http://bayfiles.com/file/yKZL/eGZ31A/driver.rar The pack includes the APX driver (folder driver)
http://www.putlocker.com/file/4CEDEB7E0893B6F1
1.- Remove the battery to the phone.
2.- Press and hold Vol- and Vol+ and without releasing the 2 keys connect the USB cable to the PC
3.- Go to the progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 folder and run flash icon... folow instruction., wait wait wait Enjoy!

I managed to get an old CM7 install back on the p990,but the above is still not working for me :/
After I finish typing in 1809#*990# in dialer, nothing happens. If I press the green phone handset icon to dial that number it comes up with an error message of "Mobile network not available".
Any further advice? Thanks.
Okay, I failed at reading comprehension – it has to be an LG Gingerbread ROM for this code to work, NOT a CM-based one!
Trying one from somewhere-I-cannot-link-to-yet
Success! Once I was back on the original stock LG Gingerbread ROM, I could reset the IMEI and make/receive calls again using this method. Thank you very much!
Now all flashed back onto a nice "working" nightly CM10.1 and a very happy little device.
Many thanks all.
Hi,
Anyone have a working link to "progmaq-default-cm-10-20121105 ". My Optimus 2x has been bricked as well, and can't find any other version of this on Google unfortunately
Appreciate all help.
Hi guys, I am officially screwed.
I had stock rom (unrooted) on my Note till yesterday. Suddenly it was just showing the GT N7000 screen and wont go forward even upon restart. Even the Samsung logo wouldn't appear on restart. So I went into recovery mode, installed PhilZ-cwm6 - Safe Stock Based Kernel from SD card, and wiped data, cache and dalvik cache and restarted without any problem. (Ofcourse all my data was gone but no problem)
After restart the Network signal was good, Data was working (could send and receive whatsapp etc.) ,however when tried to make a call it displayed "Not registered on network error".
On pressing the power button the screen turns off but does not get locked, main page is shown as it on pressing the home key.
There is no power menu too. The device would just turn off completely on pressing power button to access the power menu (Menu with restart and other options).
I flashed with custom Paranoidandroid rom but it displayed no network signal, so I tried flashing stock rom again with ODIN but the above problems still persist. Also, strangely there was no setup screen on starting the phone (which has always come on flashing a rom).
Read some where about keystr file being missing. Checked the /efs/imei/keystr it all there with text as ON in it.
Please help. I have messed up this phone many a times but was always able to recover it thansk to xda threads. I am even taking a leave from office for today.
Check your IMEI. Does it start with 0049...? The symptoms you wrote are typical for a developer IMEI.

Depends...
Your IMEI isn't the original anymore (remove battery and you'll find a sticker with your original one). This happens sometimes - I never saw an explanation why and when - when you install a Custom Rom.
If you didn't backup your /efs-partition you can't get it back by yourself. There is a member who offers a solution (he connects remotely to your device/PC and restores the old number) for small money (see cvxcvx.pl).
Workarounds:
- Change your SIM Pin every time after a reboot (you can simply use your old pin as new pin again, this works). Then you'll have a working SIM and network connection.
- On a TW based ROM you'll have to use an android.policy.jar from a leaked ROM (XXLSC). I used this because it doesn't check the IMEI and so you do not have the restrictions like you wrote: no SIM Pin request, no menu, immediate Power shutdown. I used this with my Pristine Roms because I have this developer IMEI since a repair in Thailand...
- Switch back to GB, it doesn't have the IMEI check too.
My actual workaround: disabled SIM Pin and using my own build "Pristine CM10.1".

Thanks, I guess I'll just need to take it to service centre. Could you please tell me how to go back to Stock ROM and Kernel so that there are no counters or root that may make Samsung ppl not repair the phone.
I was able to get back Lock screen and Power menu using instructions to recover imei here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
with little modifications to it as I could not find original file.
However, my IMEI is still the fake one and still can't register to network.
Also the set up screen appeared on doing the above procedure.
Changing SIM Pin isn't helping in registering to 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.

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 dont think that fleshing update.zip had anything to do with losing IMEI since you cant update 5.01 to 5.1 without wiping u will just have many bugs but u wont brick u device.I think it is hardwer problem my friend on his lg 4x have similar problem (no IMEI and cant connect wifi to any network).
