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
F180K problem in sending sms
Im from philippines, my network is Suncellular.
I flashed E975H kdz (open europe), unlocked bootloader, install recovery and already flashed baseband for f180k but my problem is it takes too long send mms, and sometimes unable to send.
Is there any solution for this? TIA
do have any idea on how to set wcdma or gsm using dialpad, or the hidden menu?
TIA
Dear Friend,
anyone of you have G-PRO especially those with non-international version should backup your IMEI before trying to upload any new ROM. To back up, please download the tool below (I took it from M_Tool of someone I don't remember) and run it from a CMD Administrator windowl; you should also have your phone connected with debug mode, rooted phone and adb.exe shall be in PATH.
I bricked up my phone with losing the IMEI, i could restore partly now but could not connect to 3G network (only GSM). The reason was that my back up lacking of some files. So anyone have G-PRO F240L or a 988 please be so kind to give me a version of your backup. I need that to make my phone back to a smartphone.

Quang

Have you tried taking your phone to a service shop? I believe that would be your best shot. They might restore it in a matter of minutes...
You might have better luck choosing an independent store rather than a licensed one.

some times its a imei issue. in my case it was sim tray issue. i had to change the sim tray from service center only.
have you taken backup before flashing new rom?
if yes, then restore the EFS folder from CWM or TWRP backup

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!

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.
but if you revert back to orignal kdz baseband is a issue here again
Did u hard reset after flashing kdz???

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

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,
@ranadawood: Flash original kdz file for your respective model to get back network ...
e.g F180L/k or S one

Hi,
I have one LS980 that came with zvd firmware, i rooted this with towelroot and installed twrp with autorec.apk but i also copied carrier folder with the help of root explorer (rw mode) but after reboot it dose not detect my sim, even i it is permanently on global mode , not able to switch modes. i also tried manual method with adb commands for pushing carrier folder but no luck
so finally i downgrade my ZVD to ZVC with TOT method of flashing but still same issue. i rooted with ioroot method and tried to copy carrier folder with root explore but after reboot it dose not detect my sim while one another ls980 easily work with my sim.
kindly help me to resolve this issue.
thanks
still no reply:crying::crying:
I was running the Taiwan ROM on my phone but went back to the Japan version when the Marshmallow update was released. Now the phone is screwed
It started off with the phone asking for a 'Network subsystem code' so the phone was essentially network locked and could only be accessed if the SIM was removed. I re-flashed the Taiwan ROM thinking it would go back to how it was but it still asked for the unlock code.
Maybe this was where I went wrong, but I bought an unlock code from eBay, entered it but after it rebooted it still asked for the code.
I tried a few TWRP backups but nothing worked and now it doesn't recognise a SIM at all. Nothing.
It's randomly restarting and I've also noticed that the IMEI number isn't showing up in the settings.
I have no idea what to do so if you have any ideas, please let me know...
Possible Fix
Try to flash misc.img. Its supposed to fix simlock for the taiwan version, and its the same image for both. You can find it at the bottom of my conversion guide.
Don't worry, you should flash your phone return to rom stock KDDI 5.0.2
then flash file fix sim pass: 8jtv
by adb change.
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot reboot
or unlock sim by xtc2clip
I have got no signal after I change my sim in KDDI 6.0 rom. I am sure that my sim card (UK sim) is not damaged, but my phone is not able to register to the network. I am now thinking of flashing back to JP 5.0.2 again
How about Taiwan?

If you dont need nfc, the taiwan ROM is better in every other way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/butterfly-3/development/stock-rom-stock-5-0-2-cure-t3356875
or if you NEED to have nfc, you may need to manually scan for network(s) in settings and after that replace the apns-conf.xml file with one from cyanogenmod or any other universal rom, because data only works on its known network (au). You will also need to change from SMS to Messages apk and maybe change the call center number. (stock htc text messaging app)

Did you solve it finally? I had the same problem, but I solved It by flashing a ROM on fastboot.
