Baseband problem, flashed wrong thing - LG Optimus G (International)

Alrighty .. I have an big problem .. So i got LG Optimus G E975 International version , and i got this phone from Estonia , as i live here myself.. so 3-4 days ago i saw this post where there is android 4.4.2 for LGOG of course i dumbhead thought that it works for E975 and flashed the F180L or S baseband .. and modem and everything it was the patch file.. so now the android did work .. it booted up and everything was fine but no signal! And then i thought well im just going to go to download mode, flash original KDZ with my IMEI .. and i did hard reset after flashing and the original android does work, but also no signal, then.. i thought i would flash the modem for E975 and i flashed the 10b modem for E975 and now i still dont have signal at home , or country places but on citys i do get signal now.. but i would want to restore phone so it works like it used to be, and have signal everywhere else too.. i can't think of what to do nolonger, but i would need the modem and baseband and other things from other LG E975 default rom , etc so i could restore my phone..
Ohh and im pretty sure that problems started when i used this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2762171 . And i was on that stock ROM before i started upgrading to 4.4.2.
Thank you very much for your time, and i hope you have an awesome weekend!
Also im sorry for my bad english, because im from Estonia and english isn't my mother language.

That is actually what i did, after i was like: hell i don't have no internet connection.. that was first thing i tried to do, go and search for modem, and that modem works.. but signal strenghts are too low for it to work correctly, i used to have atleast EDGE with 4-5 bars, but now i do not even have edge on countryside.. and only 3G and it works only at citys, so that modem didn't help much.

Your phone has been changed the baseband.
So just flash baseband again.
See your baseband here :

Thanks kashif555, I'll appreciate it most if you upload the F180S ICS firmware as you have. As it is I'm stuck with a dead phone....it is as good as a 32GB ipod
I'm afraid I can't help you with your wifi issue at the moment unless I do some research on whether one could back up and flash that too.
Thanks man.

[Q] Help required ! PLEASE! (No Network/Unknown IMEI when SIM inserted)

Model: LG Optimus G Pro F240s
I was on a custom rom when I started getting no network so I followed the best method to get to stock by a user (using LG flash tool).
I was successful & got back to as stock as possible, Problem:
the IMEI is showing as unknown, only when SIM is inserted !
WCDMA hidden menu settings change & save when there is no sim but with sim inserted they do not change & IMEI is shown as unknown !
Please help.
I have searched a lot but no progress!
I read that if any of you give me the stock efs images for efs for a Optimus F240s then I can restore them back.

IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!
Ok , im a noob but i did what others said "impossible"
There was no logic in my method but i didnt gave up.
I used FlashTool.1.0.54 with a Brazilian carrier KDZ(my current Carrier) . - No sucess (i flashed a 989 kdz in my F240L, but i did that to try to recover modem and baseband data)
After that, as i had no sucess, i flashed the korean kdz ( F240L10v from the LGU carrier) but i did not wipe cashes and user data.
When i finished to flash the f240l my signal was back, but i got several crashes from the rom (i clicked "ok" more than 100 time XD ) but managed to enter system (i was kinda blind cos evething was in korean language) and perform a factory reset.
NOW EVETHING WORKS FINE, THANKS LORD !!!!
My advice: Dont give Up, try everything even if u tried it already...try again and again.
I wish you luck !!!!!

You have to be on download mode and your battery needs to be 100% fully charged, otherwise the update will not go thru. Good luck!:good:
Joining the pack here... Please help. Trying to download the Stock ROM for v10V right now. Phone came with 10Z originally or so I think. That's what comes up when I check the IMEI through browser anyway. Tried to put stock 10z and issue unfixed.
Edit:
Cannot download v10V... link from lg-firmware not working.
Anyone who has a copy of it?
Fixed it!!! Ahahahaha! :laugh:
Step 1: I installed Stock E980h Panama Firmware. Download it from lg-firmware
Step 2: Installed Stock Original F240L 10z Firmware.
Step 3: Jump, Roll and Jump again becuase it's working now and I dont know why. Ahahahaha!

Before installing ROMs of other models always have to make a backup of your IMEI and Modem just to avoid problems like this, if you not make the backup will have to try flashing the KDZ from your country and operator, if the persists the problem flashing via Recovery the E977 modem of Claro-Brazil that is compatible with models E976, E977 and E987, here I leave the link:

PD: To again make a backup of your Modem IMEI friend, here I leave the link to this tutorial:

I have a similar problem i tried to flash the kk rom for the e975 made ofr europe and i lost phone signal, after that i tried to flash my stock rom but it always stops at 98 percent and looks like i lost my imei as well, also tied to flash e977 modem but doesnt work
I have same problem.
Install New Modem or original firmware did not help.
Any solution?
How do I get baseband?
My problem is a little more hard, my imei is incorrect after a incorrect flash, and i cannot change the same using QPST, he doesn't recognize my mobile, only in Download mode, we know another way to correct that?
did you install the stock rom?

I've tried to install the stock rom, but my IMEI doesn't come back :/
if after that the problem remains and you did not do the back up then it doesn't look good, you'll have to take it to someone with the right tools to fix it

Unknown IMEI and no network

Hey guys,
I need some help.
My LG F180L (i presume cause it said it in the settings but you never know) lost its signal and no the IMEI is unknown.
I didn't do anything with the phone, I bought this phone about 10 days ago and it was working fine then all of a sudden I couldn't hear or send voice over GSM calls (I could talk through whats app or viber) only calls from network wont let me hear or send voice, I could send text message though.
I thought that it might be a software issue and i factory reset the phone, that was it, No signal at all. now it wont find any network at all. Then i just thought of checking the IMEI and IMEI was unknown, all i did was factory reset the phone.
Then i actually thought that stock rom might fix it so i flashed the phone using LG flash tool and installed the KDZ "F180L30e_00".
ofcourse still no signal and the worst case scenario now it drains battery like crazy and wifi is working fine but apps gets stuck a lot.
I have backed up anything, I think if i can find older version of KDZ, then i can flash them may be that might fix the signal issue.
Please suggest me what to.
Thanks.
Regards.
Update : Ok i have flashed F180L20S_00.kdz, now its on 4.1.2 and it seems like the apps are working fine now, over the wifi every thing seems ok, but no signal.
I am not sure what to do, but i have heard flashing the basband might help, i am searching the internet but i cant find the basband, can anyone help ?

Oh sorry, i just didn't saw that you have F180 and i really don't know if you can flash e975 baseband ... so bad.

Thanks guys for getting back at me, i will try the sling baseband first and then probably will flash the international version baseband as well, i already dont have network, i dont have anything to lose
just one question though, if i am using 4.1.2, if i flash 4.4.2 baseband, will it work or baseband has to be exactly the same as the android version ?

e980 No service/No signal after flash.

Hi, this a weird problem for my new e980, i flashed properly the e980 at&t rom, and now i dont have signal, i tried flashing modem.img from here and nothing, still no signal, also tried to flash the telcel kdz and nothing, my IMEI is ok, but i dont have signal, is like is trying to finding signal, sim card is ok, working in other phone, please, somebody can help me please?
Come on guys, hope one of you can help me, this is happening after flashed a 5.0 lollipop for F240K, I think, I converted my e980 to F240K, but now the signal isn't working even his own baseband, I really need your help guys, please!!!
Have you tried going back to stock jb?
Start from jb. It's the most stable version we have.
Then you can root and install twrp from flashify. It's the most up to date recovery we have. Forget about the others because they can be buggy.

Have you tried going back to stock jb?
Start from jb. It's the most stable version we have.
Then you can root and install twrp from flashify. It's the most up to date recovery we have. Forget about the others because they can be buggy.

I tried, no signal, I updated it manual via the software to KK also for test and nothing.
PD: I tested the E989 modem from another guy and now I have signal, but only WCDMA and GSM, I don't have LTE, also the 3G, H and H+ aren't working properly. Help please

You'll probably have to flash Telcel firmware first (E980H variant I think, not sure if Telcel or something else), then AT&T firmware to get your network back. Also, you must do a full (CSE, if I'm not wrong, haven't started LGFlashTool in a while ) flash, with complete internal wipe - "update" flash just changes system, boot and recovery, not modem/firmware images which are ones you need... Also, you MAY try flashing madmack's modem (it's ripped from AT&T E980 firmware) before flashing OEM images...
I really don't understand why are you people messing with modem images and other stuff like that at all... especially without backups. Last year I had to mess with nearly 10 phones from my friends/associates, because they got their modem/efs images broken/corrupted trying to flash something which isn't made for their device...
Actually did it, not working with AT&T rom, Tried with telcel then I flashed AT&T rom and nothing, nothing is working for me, tried the madmack modem file and nothing works. still no signal
Have you done a FULL flash? Are you sure you have E980 variant (difference between E98x variants is literally in modem firmwares)? This more looks like you have flashed wrong stock firmware.

Shady, I really apreciate your help, thanks for answer, my friend sell me that phone, he said is a E980, but after see the imei is a E981h version for argentina where I live, before flash the korean lollipop, my 4G works perfect, now I dont have signal, I tried the E980 and well, not signal, I tried E981h too because is a variant from south america too and maybe can work and actually is the real stock firmware for my phone, no signal, nothing.. I tested the phone with 2 firmwares from E989 (1 from Brazil the other one is from CHILE) and is working but only WCDMA 3G and sometimes the signal drops and I only have 16gbs for storage.
More clear, this is my summary.
1) E980 Firmware from AT&T, Telcel and Panama = No signal
2) E981h Firmware for my E981h, Stock Retail and Movistar Telefonica KitKat and JellyBean = NO SIGNAL
3) E989 Firmware from Brazil Retail and Chile Claro = Just WCDMA and signal drops.
4) Custom ROMs? Just tried the CloudyGX 1.0 with E980 patch and E988 just for test = NO SIGNAL
I can't find the problem, also my phone was in the service before this and was totally useless for them, but I think these guys wasn't too profesional for be honest, i'm pretty sure.

Custom ROMs won't do a thing because they are using firmware images on your modem partition.
IMEI says it's E981H Argentina, but it doesn't work with that firmware? What the hell... What's written on your phone's case? There is a model mark on the housing, after you remove back panel. I have E988 (Open TW variant), markings say E988/E989. In the end, ask your friend where he/she got it, that may help identifying it...

He sends me the box also, is in my house now, I'm working at the moment, he got the phone in a normal store, is 100% original, let me check the model inside of the phone.
EDIT: its says "E980_0805"

This may be risky, but you already flashed F240K firmware and kept your device alive. Have you tried flashing E988 firmwares?

Is my first time with an LG Phone, is a really weird problem for me at least, Never tried with a E988 Firmware, what firmware is good for flash? just asking because you have E988 and probably you know which one is good.

I'm using E988_V10 firmwares for TWN variants, best base for my device, especially since I'm using AOSP/CM roms

Weird, E988 is basically international one, should work everywhere. Check preferred network type in network settings.

Yes, works but only GSM, no WCDMA and 4g, but I flashed the argentinian modem and i get a low WCDMA, is like the signal is very low in that rom, but not 4G or GSM.
Yes, I checked the preferred network in #*#*4636#*#*# and only works with WCDMA also tried the change the band in that menu but was useless, signal drops and 3G isn't working. Also tried in the options of the phone and the same result.
Tried the 3845#*988#* for configurate baseband and no luck. :l this is real a good problem, but I can confirm, the E988 at least works the argentinian modem with WCDMA but signal drops fast.

Have you tried to download your firmware from lg website?
Try to Google it. There might be tutorials telling you how to do this using your imei number. Then, you'll find the correct firmware.
Remember, you should use an LG website link to be secure in the use of your imei.
Edit: try that link
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=<MYIMEI>
Note that you have to substitute MYIMEI for your imei. I'm not sure if you have to keep the brackets. So try both possibilities and see which works.
Edit 2: now I remembered all the steps.
Once you insert the imei without brackets you will have info on your firmware. Notice that in the central area of the page you have a link that ends in .kdz
Copy that link and insert it in your browser's address bar. That will prompt you to download your correct firmware.
That firmware will most likely be E98120X... Or the KK version...
After downloading it, change the 20 in the link for a 10...
Doing this you should be able to download the JB version. This is the most stable version for our devices (the KK version has a bug on the modem that keeps the device awake when it shouldn't).
If you succeed, flash the JB version, the one with the number 10 using the CSE option in the flash tool.
After that, you should be up and running and able to flash any custom rom without the risk of signal drops.
Oh, have in mind that if you want to use 4g you will have signal drops. This is also a bug of our devices. It works best in 3g. Every time you have to reboot, change from 4g to 3g, when signal is back on change again to 4g and you'll have it working with few hiccups...
Don't forget to keep backups of your firmware and report if you succeed.

Good. Now that you know the exact "name" of your rom you can Google the JB version (the one with number 10).
