What's your baseband number ?

I restored my EFS from a previous backup.
It's working now.
Thanks.

AOSP an GPS

Im beginning to think that my phone running AOSP roms an GPS is just not gonna work. Ive installed an reinstalled CM7 about every way possible, an even the new DroidTheory AOSP version of CM an i just can't get GPS to work. Im almost starting to think that maybe my GPS in my phone is going bad. It don't work no where near as good as my old droid1 did. Any suggestions is appreciated.
Do the GPS fix. You can search for it in these forums. It basically amounts to backing up your AOSP rom, flashing a sense rom, opening Gmaps and getting a fix, then immediately rebooting into recovery and restoring your AOSP backup.

GPS Fix Question (I did read the other threads)

The GPS on my phone does not seem to work. I am running the Cyanogenmod 10.2 M snapshot. I did not use the stock ROM and went straight to rooting and installing the new ROM. I've read that bringing the phone back to stock, getting a GPS lock, then reinstalling the ROM may resolve the issue. I have some questions:
1. I've read in recent threads that the above instructions are invalid and that it is a hardware issue. Is there a consensus on this?
2. If I do try out going back to stock and back, can I make a backup of the phone in recovery mode and then restore it after I went back to stock, achieved a GPS lock and then re-rooted?
Thank you very much.

[Q] catching up on VZW G2 and radio/modem questions

Hey guys,
Just picked up my LG G2 and I'm trying to get caught up on everything going on with development. I got it rooted and flashed TWRP 2.7 and LiquidSmooth, but I don't really understand the radios/modem flashing. I'm currently on 11a. I flashed 12b a couple days ago but started having major issues with just hangouts not receiving messages while the phone was sleeping which was a little weird. I flashed it back to 11a and works fine now. Any ideas what would cause this? Any major issues with any of the radios? Can we just flash them, test them out, then flash back?
Thanks!

I'm fairly certain you can test it out as long as you backed up the efs beforehand http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390 but I'm also experiencing weird problems with the radio I think its that my rom uses T-mobile LTE and Verizon for everything else. :/

Radios only seem to control WiFi, data, and rotation.
When I was on 11a I flash the 12b radio and didn't notice any gain, or issues from it. If you're not having an issue with LTE or WiFi hand offs or anything, then there is really no reason to mess with flashing radios.
Its possible that's why you're having issues with your MMS. They send via data. I'm on liquid and haven't noticed the problem myself, but with some Roms I've had to turn off WiFi to get MMS to work. Not sure if you're on WiFi or not.
Not sure if you did it, but if you choose to flash radios, make a backup of your efs. In the radio thread he links his other thread where he has a flashible zip that backs up your efs so you can email it to yourself or put it on a PC.
Radios can screw up your efs, and if it does you're screwed. If contains your imei number it each phone had their own. There's no way to get it back.
Also you might know but other people might not
Modem, radio, and baseband, are all the same thing. People just call them what they choose.

[Q] VERY worried about flashing miui rom and new bootloader.

I have just recently restarted using this phone due to my uscellular S4 getting turned off. I am now back on my LG-P990 currently rooted and running CM10.1. BUT most importantly to me is the fact that I have all my wonderful apps on my s4, I want to be able to use them by using the LG phone as a tether and calls not much else BUT CM10.1 tethering does not work, so i find myself flashing rom after rom, avatar rom, older CM mods, none would turn on tethering, so i flashed a modded version of MIUI for this phone and it worked except for ONE thing no signal, tethering turned on just fine so i decided to look around for other roms and found Slimrom TRYED to flash it didnt work, try to flash actual MIUI roms off there site, didnt work, met with an error in CWM Recovery after some searching I found its because Im running the OLD Bootloader -_- THIS is the issue im having IF MIUI does NOT work is it possible to downgrade the bootloader again so i can restore my CM10.1 backup? I have been working at this for a week, if there is something here about this can someone please just point me at it? I would appreciate any help.
On a side note i DID soft brick the phone the other day and found a program called nvflash witch flashed an install of CM mod. Dont know if that will help any.

I really do not understand how other ROMs deny Tethering. Did you flash the latest 2.x kernel by pengus77 after installing the rom? Did you make a clean install(wipe everything then install)? On the other hand, yes you can switch bootloaders as much as you like, just remember that changing the bootloader wipes everything on your internal memory, so do a backup. Did you try just plain old stock 4.0.4? Should work there. Ask anything you want, if you're still having questions.

As to the flashing to stock i lost the original rom backup i had made along time ago and cant find the original firmware anywhere online. When I flashed CM 10.1 I just ran with it, when i go to try tethering it says "Turning on portable wifi hotspot." and it stays on that no matter what untill i restart, left the phone running for 2 days once and that was still stuck on that before i restarted. As for flashing a 2.x kernel i had no idea about that. But yes when i did the installs i would do a clean wipe and install. Most of what i read online led me to believe that there was an error with CM 10.1 nightlys that was not being fixed for the tethering. So that is why i decided to go to another rom. Two questions one how do i go about finding the original firmware for this phone and two how would i go about updating or downgrading the bootloaders and could i be pointed to the files please?

Okay, This is SFSP by @sgspluss which is a pretty fast, stable and battery-friendly slimmed down version of stock ICS. It is available for both Old and NewBL, so you might want to try that first. This is AIO Toolkit. I know that you've used it and bricked your phone, but try again, and for the love of God install the nvflash drivers because most people skip that part. You have to do it manually and if you're running Windows 8 you need to disable Driver Signature Verification. But yeah, you switch bootloaders with this.

[Q] Stock rom but can't turn WIFI on!

So I did some flashing on my XT1068, CM12 and stock 5.0 roms, WIFI worked perfectly in those, but now I restored to stock 4.4 TWRP backup and WIFI was not working, toggle just does nothing when I tap it, I first thought something is wrong with the backup so I re flashed stock with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...windows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1068-dual-t2983295
But wifi still dead, which is very weird because it should work on bloody stock rom!? It was working before I flashed CM12
Maybe re flash stock kernel?
Nope that didn't help
i have the same problem with my xt1068!!! i have try some way but nothing!!!
Turns out now it works only under CM12, this is super weird now
Anyone has any idea? I see many people having this same problem but no one seems to be fixing it
