[Q] [HELP] change baseband

is there a way now for lg optimus g to change baseband?
I bought LG optimus G F180K (KT version -olleh), I'm from Philippines btw. I can't get 3G even with the original device setting. I flashed E975-10a firmware which I downloaded from the LG site for firmwares. I'm sorry I'm noob about this. I flashed the KDZ file without unlocking the bootloader, is that ok? Anyway, everything went well, but still I only get 2G signal. I think I need to change the baseband in order to get 3g or 4g. HOW DO I DO THIS?
Thanks!
Edit:
BTW my current baseband is APQ8064/MDM9x15M
kernel: 3.4.0
build #: JZO54K
I read somewhere in the forum that after he flashed the E975 firmware on his F180L device, he then flash the orginal baseband for F180L. Can someone provide a flashable baseband for F180K? I would greatly appreciate it.

I got this from another thread

Sure, you must do this.
First: Root, Enable USB Debugging, Download this file: (I can't post the link since I have less than 10 post as of now)
2. Copy this baseband.img to Internal Storage (/sdcard)
3. Run file flash_baseband.bat
4. Follow the guild.
5. Your phone will reboot and finish! :victory:

Here they simply flash the baseband. Is there someone out there who would generously share the how to flash the baseband for F180K?

i own an lg optimus G e970 at & t version on ics
i rooted it.... installed slick JB on it http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2084431
but forgot to install the modem via recovery.... so when i turned my fone ON, i had carrier network signals available but wifi was not working....
i downloaded a KOREAN kdz for f180L and tried flashing it on my e970 via R n D tool...it was successfull but when my fone rebooted, it was country locked (required some password at the beggining)
so then i started looking for the other kdz,s available online (as i was specifically looking for kdz for at & t LGOG)
then i found a brazilian kdz for e977 and flashed it to my fone via R n D tool and my fone booted up.....everything working but no network signal showing a sim error icon in status bar
edit 1: finally i got the LGNPST to work and flashed the stock at & t rom but still it shows "no sim card"
flashed a different jb radio...its getting weak signals
working on it now
may be need efs

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I've flashed the stock rom and the signal is back but very weak. Besides, I am no longer able to connect to LTE. Could you please help me?
I've tried to change the network mode in *#*#4636#*#*, take out and in sim card, factory data reset, flashing to other custom/stock rom. It doesn't connect to LTE but only to 3G. Really need help!!! Anyone could advise what should I do?

I don't know what lte apn settings are.i don't have lte yet.are you sure the settings are the same?
Maybe you should call the operator and ask for the settings? or just tell them you lost lte.

[Q] Flashing baseband F180K

Hello,
I tried to flash my korean F180K.
Changing ROM and rooting wasn't a problem but...
I downloaded ROM:
lg-phone-firmware com
For Polish provider Plus: 93 PLS/PLUS(POLAND) 10D LGE975
Changing ROM went ok i got the phone to factory settings and rooted.
I tried to flash baseband with adb and firmware_f180k.img.
Unfortunetly i didn't get any signal 2g/3g/lte.
On the unblock screen i got a message wrong sim. Like out of nowhere Simlock apeared.
Does anyone have working f180k baseband and could share a link?
I need it for operator that works on: 3g 900/2100, LTE 1800 MHz
Right now im back to Olleh Firmware

Someone got any ideas ?

Hi,
here my baseband:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h7motxqax7tmr1/firmware_f180k.img
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3g2pmgo22vdh43h/Flash Baseband - F180K.bat
you have to copy in your sdcard and then you can run the batch file. You need root, obviously.
Question: can you see properly your sdcard? I tried to convert my f180k too, but I could go further because my sdcard was not properly mounted...
Good luck.

I tried the process one more time.
Flashed the firmware, factory settings, root.
About flashing baseband after root.
I've put the phone in PC suite mode, it showed the built in memory and I've copied the img file there.
After this i copied the bat file to C:\ where already I had adb and ran it.
Everything works fine now accept WIFI/hotspot.
I did the same thing before the previous post and it didnt work.
Probably your img file was something else and worked ok.
Does someone have baseband where cellural and wifi works?
Thx

3G problem on F180L

Hello guys,
i ve changed today provider and 3G is not working.When i open data,it is always under GPRS.Can anyone think hw can i solve this?Also the provider is vodafone.If i download the Greek KDZ (wich is for the phone been sold by vodafone) will change something?is there any posibility to work without changing baseband?cause i think that if i change rom and then baseband same error will occur.

may be the access point is wrong,may be you can press "*#*#4636#*#*"to select a proper network mode,and i believe if you flash kdz will give you 3g back,but it is the last way.

May be incompatible frequencies?
F180L is version for LG Telecom which doesnt use WCDMA network.
F180L does supports WCDMA, but as i remember it has some odd frequencies.
And check the APN

Invalid sim card error after flashing E975 kdz

I successfully (??) flashed my F180k to E975K kdz/
everything seems ok, but I get Invalid sim error, and obviously cannot connect/
I tried to unlock the phone using freegee, running TWRP, with no success. should i run CWM 6.0.3.0?
Any other ideas why the phone is locked or how to unlock it?
thanks,

invalid sim got nothing to do with lock bootloader and recovery and freegee

the phone is permanently locked (!!) help...
Any ideas how to bypass it?

if it was working fine before try the same stock f180 firmware and see if that works, have no idea about sim unlocking on optimus G. search for that.

your guide is really great, I probably did something wrong. how can I tell if I am running the right baseband?
the baseband currently installed on my phone is APQ8064/MDM9x15M.
do you have another baseban file other than what you've linked to on your guide?
many thanks!

f180s

I flashed the baseband, but it is still permanently locked.
Any ideas as to how can it be unlocked? maybe if I will use other EFS backup?
will it be solved if I will go back to to the original KDZ?

have you backed up your efs before installing kdz? it may help you for working sim cards.

This did not solve the problem.
The baseband fix seems to only fix the reception issues of the phone so that it can pick up the signal.
The problem I have is about the phone not recognizing the sim card. It will only recognize it when I go back to the stock F180K rom not the E975 rom.
By the way, all F180 phones are pre-unlocked by Korean law.

You do not need to touch the baseband if you already flashed the F180K rom.
The sim should be recognized and baseband should be the right one already.
If you need further info add jseo to kakao talk and send me a message and we can talk real time. I'm in Seoul

Invalid sim card after converting E975

Hi Guys,
I need expert help here , it looks i brick my handset while i was trying to convert it into E975 by following the instruction
Guide
Regardless of which firmware you are currently running on your F180, you will need to download and switch to the corresponding one from the list below:
F180S : F180S20B_00.kdz
F180K : F180K20B_00.kdz
F180L : F180L20H_00.kdz
Tip: You can find your phone’s model by going to ‘Settings > About > Phone identity’ in Android.
Warning: Make sure your phone’s battery is at least charged 80%. Don’t proceed otherwise as LG Optimus G comes with non-removable battery and thus you won’t be able to easily swap the battery if it dies in the middle of the process.
It is mandatory that you factory reset your phone before proceeding. For doing so, go to ‘Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset’. Please keep in mind that doing so will wipe your phone including contacts, messages, mails, applications and all the data on your phone’s internal storage. Your phone will reboot twice. Let it boot after factory reset. Once you are on the language selection screen, power off your phone
Press and hold down ‘Volume Up’ + ‘Volume Down’ and while inserting USB cable in to the phone. This will get you to S/W download mode on LG F180.
Now you need to flash the firmware you downloaded earlier. Please refer to the guide here:
How to: Download and Install KDZ LG firmware – All Android models
Once the KDZ firmware is successfully flashed, your phone will reboot automatically. Once it fully boots up, go through the setup procedure and again factory reset it as you already did once.
Once you are on the language selection screen, power off your phone
Once again, put your phone in download mode
For converting your phone to E975, we’ll be flashing this E975 Hong Kong KDZ:
Follow the same procedure for flashing KDZ as you did earlier.
Once the KDZ flash is successful, go through the set-up procedure. Now go to ‘Settings > Storage’ and make sure your internal storage is being listed there. If it shows “0.00 GB” there, don’t panic. Power off your phone. Once completely off, press and hold down ‘Volume Down’ + ‘Power’ buttons until the phone displays a hard reset screen. Release ‘Volume Down’ and press ‘Power’ twice for resetting your phone.
Your phone will reboot once again and your phone’s internal storage will be back to normal.
Now you need to root your phone. Please refer to our LG Optimus G universal rooting guide here:
Universal root for LG Optimus G – Any firmware
Once you are done with rooting process, make sure you reboot your phone at least once if it doesn’t reboot automatically.
Now we will be flashing LG F180 baseband. Download your corresponding baseband backup from the list below:
F180S Baseband
F180K Baseband
F180L Baseband
Unzip the downloaded archive and you will find a batch file named ‘modem-flash’ inside it. Make sure ‘USB Debugging’ is enabled on your phone and your phone is in ‘Charge only’ mode while connected to the PC. Run the ‘modem-flash’ batch file.
Keep an eye on your phone screen as you will need to tap the grant permission button on SuperSU pop-up. If you miss the pop-up as it expires after 10 sec, run ‘modem-flash’ batch file again.
Once the baseband has been flashed successfully, reboot your phone
Congratulations! You have just converted LG F180 to LG E975.
it converted successfully but when i insert sim in it says invalid sim card , i have updated the base band given in above link but no luck then i tried to flash the original rom with many version for this set same thing again ,no signal no network .i think i mess up with the orginal modem without taking any kind of backup.
I need expert advise here how to fix it and which kdz to use to fix it.
looking forward for your reply.
Thanks,
