I have a CDMA Milestone on a small local carrier (Bluegrass Cellular), and flashed the C 1.43 baseband (stupid mistake!). My carrier uses the C1.07. I found the .SBF file and flashed it using RSD Lite. I now have the correct baseband and 2.1 Android installed, but apparently the settings for the EVDO are wrong. Is there any way to find and change these settings? I took it to see if Bluegrass Cellular could do anything with it and they seem to know less than I do. I told them that it had previously been rooted, and they just assume that's what caused the problem. The phone, texting, and everything else works fine-just not the mobile network. I hope I haven't made a $300 mistake! Any ideas?
I'm in the same boat so if anyone has a solution or a stock Bluegrass sbf it would be much appreciated.
I'm with bluegrass also and am trying to avoid this very dilemma. Did it mess yours up when you flashed a ROM or how?

Try flashing another rom, another version ?
Since phones now have USB, i don`t think u can brick it...
And since nobody got a solution, u should keep trying til u find a solution or someone post it here ;D
I have bought a GT-I8190 (Unbranded/Unlocked) in Spain, which operates in 3G frequency band 900/1900/2100. The problem is that I live in Argentina, and here the 3G frequency is 850Hz. I would like to know if there is any hardware limitiation for the 3G frequency band or is just a firmware limitation. I've read that flashing a latinamerican modem (I8190L version) may solve the problem. Has anyone try this? What can I do?
Please let me know, cause i'm tired of dealing with EDGE.
Sorry for my english, i speak spanish.
Thank you!
I dont know about hardware differences, if there is any.
You could try to extract modem.bin from i8190L firmware and put it a .tar and flash with odin, but i'm not sure thats enough.
There's also a service menu if you type * # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # *
This is for SGS, but I think menus are quite similar.

I've seen this tutorial before, i've already try it, with no success. In the WCDMA Band submenu, the 850 option is missing,

Is there any risk of bricking the phone by doing this? I want to be sure of what I'm doing. If something does wrong, is there any way to go back to stock modem?
Thank you!

I didn't find it either but I was thinking it might be there if you flash a modem for that frequency.

I don't think there is a chance of bricking it by changing modem. I've done it on my P7500 tab and my galaxy wonder without crying.
Question is if Odin will let it pass, and if so, maybe you'll also need to flash cache.img to get the "sec_csc.zip" for csc code and apn settings to be correct set in system. Not sure..
Edit: Seems like odin fails on modem.

Did you have luck change it to 850Hz?, if yes can you let me know how you did it.

I8190 Problem
Hey people,
Got the same problem here, did not see the difference between the I8190 and the I8190L and now I´m dealing with the problem of being connected only in EDGE, dou you guys already solved the problem???
If´s that so, please let us know.
Same problem here
I have excactly the same problem. Got a GT-I8190N, and here they use 850mhz :crying:
have searched every corner of the web, but havent found a solution. If anyone manages to make these things use 850mhz band PLEASE tell us how you did it.
Tried but failed
Fon anyone interested, i flashed GT-I8190N my phone using a GT-I8190L firmware for my country / operator, and i was still unable to use 3G internet. only Edge.
The phone worked fine in all other aspects (except the NFC feature was gone of course), but still no 3G. i guess the bands are not only determined by software, but also by hardware.
By now i guess its safe (for me) to say, i will have to learn to live with Edge, or get another phone. :crying:

Did you manage to change the modem.bin (baseband)? All I've tried and seen about it results in softbrick.
it dint brick it (THANK GOD)

Yes, actually that was the first thing i tried.
I downloaded the Whole firmware for the GT-I8190L for my local operator (MX Telcel), then i extracted the modem .bin file from it, and in odin i flashed it to the phone.
Phone worked fine, but still only edge.
So i decided to flash the whole firmware just in case, did so with odin, when my phone restarted i had the cheesy, bloated, horrible load animation my POS operator forces on all its phone, but still i was only able to use edge. no 3g.
Went to the phone service menu (if thats what its called?) dialing *#0011# then using the BACK menu option ->network -> etc. and still the 850mhz band option was missing. only got 900mhz (same as before).
At this point i was now stucked with the extra-extra-extra crappy logos and tons of crapware my provider installs on the phones, still without 3g, and all the NFC setting options dissapeared on the settings menu, but otherwise the phone was not bricked at all, it worked fine
So i downloaded this unbranded firmware:
Edit: (xda wont let me put the link, but its an unbranded firmware called I8190NXXAMD3_I8190NOXAAMD3_DBT)
wich is for the GT-I8190N version (not L), flashed it with odin, and now my phone is back to the way it was, i have my NFC settings back, got rid of ALL operator logos and bloatwares (now i only see the nice samsung animation on boot), and everything is working fine.
Except for 3G of course, im still stuck on EDGE.
Thanks alot for your answer. Now we know for sure it's based on hardware.

Sorry for bringing up this old thread..
Does anyone know if there is a way of replacing the phone's internal antenna/modem to adequate it to the 850mhz network? It'd be cheaper than buying a new phone..
Hello everyone
First, apologize for my bad English, I use Google Translate
Buy my Flex d958 in forum Spanish (HTCMania), after 2 weeks started to restart, what format factory and seems to fix it, a few days later stopped working wifi and bluetooth, install the stock rom for my model and I stop recognizing my sim card.
And I tried everything, and installed KDZ, also TOT + DLL, and remains unresolved.
The phone lights up perfectly, and works everything but the WIFI, bluetooth and sim.
I hope you can help
Thank you very much from Zaragoza (Spain)
Nobody can help me?

you obviously used the rom for the wrong variant, so put ur phone into download mode and open the LG mobile support tool and let it do its job....hope it helps bud
or if u still want to use .kdz files
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G+Flex/Stock/
go to that site and download either of the .kdz files for the "hong kong" variant
then flash that problem should then be fixed

LG G Flex L23 stop working after 3 months usage
Got this junk from ebay, paid more than $200 for it and it stop voice and data connections after 3 months, it suddenly won't recognize the sim card which work with it for 3 months, I suspect this phone wasn't permanently unlocked by the carrier or seller. They just unlocked it temporary and sell it to grab the money and leave. Unlocked international phone isn't trustable. Anyone have the same problem?

hello guys. i've got a problem with my Flex. The situation is next: i've purchased it from aliexpress and the phone model was d955 and was working on JB. after a few months of using I decided to update to KK. After update it shows "no network" and IMEI is "null". when I opened the back panel I saw "L23 main(2)" written on mainboard, which means I've installed incorrect ROM. Is there any idea how to revive GSM ? I've tried installing .tot file for L23 via LG Flash tool (or something like this) but it says that my phone isn't L23, so I cannot install thos ROM . Also I cannot get root and custom recovery. any help please or link to helpful thread...

Your phone was detected D955. So, first you try to install original LG G FLEX D955 rom. Or try cyanogenmod of D955 and see if gsm works. Then if both don't work then it will be confirmed that your phone is L23.
If you got KitKat update on it before, then it means it is D955. Because there is no 4.4 for L23.

I'll try it tomorrow. Even if it is D955, why is it written L23 on mainboard (motherboard)? A friend of mine has a D958 with the same problem, on that mainboard are two models written - LS995 and D959. WTF???

First i know i'm an idiot, i thought i knew what i was doing but i had no idea, i figured how hard could it be I've rooted a G1 and a Droid Eris.... but alas i was way over my head.
I have a Note 9 from KSA (Saudi Arabia) i'm a contractor there and it was way cheaper than buy in the states plus a dual sim variant. i tried flashing to the Detonator T-mobile rom, and now i'm left with a phone i can not use, I did not create a partition, i have backup all my personal data, but the original firmware is in the ether. I flashed what i thought was a dual sim international firmware, but all it did network lock my phone so god knows what international network, since neither my T-mobile or STC sim work in it. On top of that even though it has a "stock firmware" it's still rooted so knox has been triggered and even if my sim's worked all Knox linked programs wont work.
So what i need from you fine Ladies' and Gentlemen is a solution to get it as close to the stock version as possible, at this point dual sim functionality or the Wifi calling i was trying to flash on to it are second to having the phone function as a proper note 9 again. IF anyone has the stock firmware or knows of a place where i can get the original firmware, no i'm not asking for hacked version, yes i'm willing to pay for it as long as it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah, I know that Samsung devices purchased in the UAE are partitioned differently than those purchased in the rest of the world. I would recommend that you repartition the storage in your device and reinstall the stock OS back onto it again. That should resolve yoru issue. I don't know how to do this. Maybe somebody else can chime in a help you out.

do you by chance know where the Partition would be because i had not had any luck locating it. or the firmware for that specific region.
