Converted F180L to E975. GPRS ONLY - LG Optimus G (International)

Hello,
I recently converted my f180L to e975 by
1. Backup Modem
2. Flash International KDZ( INDIA)
3. Root
4. Restore modem.
Everything is fine but for a few niggles
1. I cant get EDGE . Only GPRS. Edge is working on my old n95 8gb and my iphone 4 but not the optimus.
2 . If i go out of coverage area , and return, i have no signals until a reboot. Searching for networks again works but takes some time so i reboot.
Can any one help me with these issues?
P.S i searched the forum but most of the discussions are focussed on modem restoration and no signal issues..

Yeah i know. Everywhere specs indicate EDGE support. I read somewhere ( forgot where) that changing nvram values may enable edge support.. dont know how true that is. Dont even know how to accomplish this. Messing with NVRAM itslef is dangerous. Anybody with any pointers in the right direction?

Basebands have been blocked by carriers, these are carrier phones. Only way is to hex edit.

I don`t think that changing EFS could kill my phone, only modem, but I can recover EFS anytime, or I`m wrong?

Yes if you ve made a backup that should work. If you ve backed up using a recovery that would be even better.
This is all i could find on the net
Use QXDM(AVAILABLE ON XDA SOMEWHERE) to edit
NV 02508 ( EDGE ENABLED) to True
I havent tried it and dont know what it does so be careful and have everything backed up.

Qxdm well not work, baseband is locked, secured, crippled by the carrier.

Anybody know a tool to make nvram writes stick? Qxdm will read nv item properly but doesnt write it. The changes dont stick. I even tried dfs tools. Nv 2508 is what want to write to.

There no any NVRAM chip on board, only eMMC, this means that all what have to be changed is baseband and/or EFS.

Nvram is basically inside the PROCESSOR (APQ8064) iirc. So i doubt it will show up in schematics. But even if its not there, what do we change in EFS?

Best thing to try is a factory reset by ##786#. Will lose everything but will hopefully restore IMEI. If not can try next step...

Does the phone display your IMEI number? if you were flashing different roms you may have flashed the improper modem onto it. the easiest thing to try is to flash stock through ODIN.

Have you flashed a different carriers ROM that included a modem by chance?
Exactly what ROM is installed right now?

I think that I should explain from begining.
I bought it from New York, T-Mobile SGH-T889
Guy made it unlocked.
When I go back to Turkey, It was working well with clone IMEI.
2 weeks later, I faced with mobile networks problem.
It was changed to orginal IMEI, and I registered to my passport.
But the problem was still working.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Right Now,
My phone's IMEI : Clone IMEI ( Registered )
I tried all stock and custom roms..
I set up APN. : (
But I don't think that the problem is about Apn because,
This warning is always seems even I dont put the sim card
Please help, thanks
Does anyone know any patch or something, thanks.
Clone IMEI?
i think your dealing with something illegal.
If you didnt know, you do now, its illegal to change the IMEI of a device.

It's illegal in US, but I'm sure it's perfectly legal in some other countries.
IMEI is not an international law.

Ill rephrase it also, its illegal to do in the US and i believe this site has a zero tolerance for it as well.
But ill kindly bow out of the conversation since the root of the issue may be IMEI related.

Have you tried that ? If you dont have IMEI, I think that you can repair with EFS backup ... I had the same problem in my Samsung Galaxy S3 because I downgradered my phone .. and the partition where is EFS dissapeared.. and I had to recover with the las backup of EFS. I hope help you
Grean
You realize what you just wrote here, if he tried one of your things he will be with out phone.
I have a good reason not to say anything on the matter, not to mention changing every partition will make it 8 gb model and only way to restore it that i know it's too have a att model even than its not without issues.

Forget it, unless you want to say goodbye to your phone (either because of doing sth wrong or lack of patience because most things will be broken, like camera and modem).
Much better option will be installing gee/geehrc based rom (rom for e975, but built from n4 sources instead of lg sources).
