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.

you need to flash f180 baseband, 1st check your f180 S or K or L then flash baseband made for your variant
thanks, I will try

BTW, I was following your (great) instructions. probably did something wrong while trying to flash the baseband. I will retry.

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 dsnt post any guide on here or any where,okay?
here are the links
f180s
f180k
f180l
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 good people I got problem with my LG G3 D855 I don't know it's European or what but I'm using in south Africa when I'm trying to switch ON it says LG SECURITY ERROR and goes OFF it was rooted and visions was 5.1.1 I even try to flash it with LG flash tool but it's not conecting:crying: now i don't know what to do plz I need help plz
You can check this out.
Probably if you have access to custom recovery and you change the kernel could fix the security error.If not you could try to flash a stock firmware with flash tool and reroot your phone.

Surely you're not referring to the "Secure Boot Error"?
It happens for recovery access or affects the normal bootup too?
In both cases you have to put device in Download Mode and flash a "bumped" recovery (TWRP is highly preferable).
If the issue persists, you have to restore the stock rom with the LG Flash Tool 2014 by doing a "CSE flash" and lose all data.
If you not solve, your device is officially compromised and ****ed up.
The warranty won't guarantee assistance for broken phone with custom rom or recovery installed.
Heloo everone i am from INDIA
