How to find out! - Optimus One, P500, V General

Alright I'm sorry if this has been posted before which I'm sure it has. But I am currently trying to figure out what base-band I need? New or old? I use some of the new roms out there and realized that i have almost no service at all! Sometimes i can get out a text and sometimes i can't. Not sure if this even has anything to do with base-band. I know that when I go back to stock i can send and receive text so any help or info would be great thanks

Anyone please?

wich new roms did you used?

[Q] Flashed CM7 (with TWRP) No GSM and not detecting SIM Card

Good Morning everyone (or afternoon or night)!
Yesterday i flashed CM7 for the first time ever (Never flashed nothing before, except TWRP which i did it like 2 days ago.). Flashed it through TWRP Recovery and had a problem but solved it (froze on CM7 Logo). But this morning i noticed i had another problem, no GSM! When i flashed it and booted into system i found it wierd that it didnt ask me for my PIN but i was waaaaay to sleepy to think about it. But thats not all, as I found that i didnt had GSM, I also noticed that i didnt have my SIM contacts listed.
So if any of you could help me with this i would really appreciate it, as i really need my GSM working!
Any kind of help is welcome! Even if it means Flashing another ROM. Just really need my GSM working for now!
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 <-- Where i downloaded CM7
- Before CM7 i had the 2.3.3 official update
PS: Yesterday when i had that freezing problem at CM7 Logo i flashed the patch mik mentioned on the FAQ's (see "Q: I flashed rom and GSM don't works. What's to do?"). It says that would fix that freezing problem and also would fix the no GSM problem but it didnt!
Thank you all in advance for all the help you might give!

You can restore something only if you backed it up. So if you made a backup of your old ROM go into recovery and hit restore. If not either flash a .zip ROM or use KDZ.
Good and bad news guys! i restored my 2.3.3 stock ROM and managed to get GSM again.(had to downgrade the baseband for 2.3.3 stock), that is the good thing!
The bad thing(not that bad i think i can manage to get it ) is that i wanted to flash a custom ROM but im not sure if i should do it because i thought CM7 was one of the best ROM's to flash and i was amazed by it at first! But that GSM thingy got me a bit mad and a bit insecure about doing it again. I wouldnt get mad and would have kept the ROM if i had solved the GSM problem but i didnt!
Any suggestions of what i should do? Any ROM's suggestions? (preferably with that awesomeee CRT off animation [yeah every one loves it!])
Ill wait for your replies! thank you very much for everything you done to help!

If u want to have CM7 by Mik you have to downgrade your baseband. Short way is using KDZ to flash old version of firmaware (v10a or similiar), then ROOT, install custom recovery and then flash CM7.
Well the only experience i have at rooting was by rooting my p500 with 2.3.3 official with superoneclick! I dont really know how to downgrade the firmware and root it on froyo! But if anyone could provide the way to do that i would really appreciate it!
Btw im sry if im asking too much, but i prefer the opinion and help of a more experienced person than just me finding something and boom! Bricked! But i also search even if i ask you guys something!
Thank you very much for your help!

Read the entire guide, step by step!!!... Anyway it is pretty straightforward
BTW, remember to first install lg drivers on your pc... connect the phone via usb and disable LGE Virtual Modem drivers from device manager on windows,, --> this is extremely important to succeed!
My phone is ok again TakamineSubasa! i just needed an opinion on which ROM should i flash! I've done that guide and it went well! (for the 2.3.3 version! i think i messed up and used P500-v20G-baseband for CM7 [wrong one] and should have used P500-v10E-baseband). But ofc a stable ROM that doesnt have GSM problems :s
btw i was really disappointed with CM7 (or i just dont know nothing about it!). I used it all day (even though i had GSM) and i had no messaging widget, no market, and other things i dont remenber! If i flash it again is there a way to have those apps and widgets like normal stock ROM has?
Thank you very much for the help!

No market? U forgot a flash gapps. Other Widgets I dun think so.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Yep, as terratrix, you must flash gapps in order to get the market on your phone and install everything you want....
Concerning abt stock widgets, CM7 does not include any stock lg crap... although you can install them later if you want, there are posts on how to install stock **** again but dunno where they are ...
btw, --> here you have the lastest gapps available: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
for your security, flash this zip with Zip Signature Verification on in TWRP, to ensure that everything its going to be perfect
Thank you very much guys! ill probably flash sonygen but not sure yet! Need some opinions! if anyone is willing to give some i would appreciate!
Thanks for all the help!
Sonygen is pretty nice and fast. It's a themed cm7, so if you like the SE style go ahead and flash it.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Awesome news! i decided to flash CM7 again! Did the tutorial terratrix provided right after i flashed it and GSM is working perfectly! (just dont know why i had to import my contacts to the phone! Aparentely CM7 doesnt read contacts that are in the SIM card! No biggie!)
Thank you so much for every help you provided guys!

[Q] How to get mik rom gsm data working with new baseband.

Before I start 1) I understand the is a patch for gsm with no data. 2) I also know that I can flash the old baseband. But I wanted to know if the is a way (either being developed or could be) to get it working. I would give it a go myself but I Haven't the slightest clue about what to do. So please no NOOB GO GET OLD BASEBAND INSTEAD OF NEW BASEBAND SH*T. Just a simple question/answer.
There is no way u could get gsm n data working on new baseband on mik's rom.And no one should ever waste his time in making this work,since the old baseband gives no problem atall.
Hey there.
Here is a link with the [HowTo] to downgrade to the old baseband:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217504
cant really help you with the new baseband. I had to downgrade to the old one to get the gsm working.
Just a little help.
I think that using the new baseband only because it's "new" is simply stupid. I bet that you don't even know what's new in it. The old one is good and stable. You'll make your life easier if you use the old one instead of asking how to use mobile data with the new one.
Alternatively, you can try to compile the new CyanogenMod Mik is working on. Maybe he already fixed this.

Well gsm works why not data? and its not wasted time. As everytime I want to test a new version of a rom or a new rom (Andy's rom) I have to downgrade baseband use it. Then prefare a different rom and have to upgrade baseband. Its a hasel so if one could make one universal baseband that would be ideal.

New baseband is much better where I live. Never cuts out, hear people much more clearly and download speed is faster. (Remember I said where I live.)

[Q] No network coverage :(

First of all please forgive me that I had to create a new thread for things which are explained already plenty of times. the only thing happening is that all the things explained earlier, are not working in my case. Guys please help me. everything was running fine until I decided to switch to stock 2.3.3. I was unaware with this baseband thing. I switched to stock 2.3.3. I did not like it, so decided to roll back to cm7, I did, and here i am with no signal in my phone... I did flash the old baseband, but am still stuck with no signal... am in real trouble, and now if I again switch to stock 2.3.3, then also I dont get a network coverage at all. Please help me buddies
And yes one more thing, even if I flash back the old stock froyo, via kdz or lgmdp, I cant get the network coverage ... the guy at LG service center says there's some problem with the board ... but I dont think its the board problem, is there any way to diagnose this issue or am I *ucked?

What ROM are you running on, Their are a few ROMs that haven't fixed network issues, If you are using a iHO ROM then have you tried the Airplane Mode Fix?
right now I have flashed stock gingerbread. that 'v20g' one. but if u say, i will switch to another rom whichever u say... I tried stock froyo, mik's cm7, and void.# forever's cm7. none of those fixes the signal, I even tried the new baseband patch provided by mik, not working :'(
What phone do you have. Do you have an optimus v,you have to use a ROM for it.

Flash original rom and recovery and take phone to service center, if you have warranty phone will be repaired for free.

Main Version is older Update Fail

So I downloaded the PH86IMG.zip file from the thread on how you install the current version of clockwork mod back at the developers thread of the amaze 4G forum and when ever i go into Bootloader mode it would "update" but at the end it will say
Main Version is older
Update Fail!
did i do anything wrong? i followed the instructions and everything is there a newer PH86IMG.zip file that will work. BTW i got that OTA update from Tmobile. im not sure how many OTA updates there were im assuming there was only 1.
Any Help would be appreciated
I don't know exactly the details and versions for our phone, but on the MT4G we had issues if your radio was newer than the ROM or PH15IMG.zip file you were trying to use in bootloader.
For example, if you had a GB radio and tried to flash a Froyo rom through bootloader it wouldn't work. You get the same error that you're getting. I think it was determined you can only do this if your true s-off.
I would check your radio and the stock rom versions available, make sure the rom you want is newer than your radio. So you might have to change your radio to a previous version. This is all based on my experience with the MT4G, so it could be wrong here but it sounds similar. Good luck!

[Q] How do I find the right ROM?

I'm trying to put a better ROM on my wife's GT-I9100M I really just want something which much better battery life and speed for her... mostly battery life though.
With so many different kernels out there, I'm a little wary of installing something now, in case it'll brick the phone. Does it matter what kernel these roms are based on?
Her baseband is I9100MUGKG2
and her kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136 [email protected] #6
and build number is
GINGERBREAD.UGKG2
I'm sorry if I'm posting a redundant thread, but I've spent a few hours on here, and Have still no idea what get.

It's rooted, so that's done... I don't have to worry about bootloader or anything?
I'll grab what you have and see how she likes it, since it sounds like it's working for you.

PS. I got the Speedmod kernel, but where do you get Checksrom?
Same here: CheckROM v4 and latest version of Speedmod kernel and the battery life is around 2 days. Smooth, no FC's, no issues!

No no worries about the bootloader
just install Checks rom, and it comes with a kitchenapp and u can change the kernel to speedmod from within that.
BUT
make sure that the i9100M is compatible with the rom!
PS
if ive helped dont hesitate in saying thanks
Edit: my bad, just googled I9100M and found out its indenticle to the 19100 except in the name xD
so u shuld be all gd to flash, but make sure u backup before just in case.

Ok this is weird... I installed it using CWM and rebooted... it looks exactly the same as before except under about phone it says Build # is CheckRom RevoHD v4... And where do I find this kitchenapp? I don't see it in the app tray. Gonna do a reinstall of the ROM, I'm not sure if it really... took.

yeh, its a stock samsung rom mate
and the kitchen should be in the app drawer under the name kitchenpro
Well. So far so good. She hasn't really noticed anything different. In spite of my backing things up with titanium she's still swearing at it and setting some of her stuff back up.
We'll see how it goes now for battery life. That'll be what she wants most. The regular stock had the phone dying within less than 10 hrs or standby.

Yeah I discovered I had to download the kitchen thing seperately. Ended up using CWM anyways. I guess we'll find out how good the battery thing works out tomorrow when we run it down from a full charge.

How do you find the right rom ? You try out a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you. If you think you're going to have the same experience as someone else with a given rom or kernel you're mistaken.

Hey ! I have a soft brick Prob can you help me out.
Heres the Prob: Phone recovered from soft brick through Odin (FIRMWARE=KI3). Flashed ChainFire's kernel for KI3. Added CheckRom v4 and my own rom to the external SD card. Got into recovery, Wiped everything including BatteryStats booted Check ROM. It boots up but as soon as it's up error msgs come (Force Close ones).
Need help in fixing! PM if you are willing to tell me ! Plz Reply!
Why are you hijacking this thread ???

Not sure how you got 2 days battery on that ROM. My wife is only getting 12 hrs. . Might have to try something else.

+1 Pretty much nailed it. Won't know how good a rom is until you try it out yourself.
The problem is, not every rom for samsung GT 9100 seem to be the right ones... What I'm saying is, I can't just grab any ROM from this site and slap it in, it seems like they have to have the right kernel or combination of stuff to work. I don't want to soft brick it, so it would be nice to know exactly what would be safe for my phone.
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to these roms.
