Dear friends
I used lg updater but after that I lost the signal
When I checked *#06# it didn't show me the imei
When I go to about imei it show 0
I searched the problem on 3d I didn't found any one have this problem
But I found some 2x have it and they solve it by baseband flashing
So did any one have the same problem before and how dix you solve it ?
Thank you all

You should see the IMEI under Settings -> About Phone -> Status
Att flashed kz with lg update
I am having the same issues as you guys.. I flashed the KZ file with lg update software as explained in the XDA thread but I could not get the process to work right. My phone kept disconnecting at 28% and it would not turn on no matter what I did. It would only make a short vibrate as if it was turning on, and the computer would notice it but only for a short time. And never once did a light on the screen, or LG logo, or anything at all ever appear.
I figured I had really screwed it up, but when I plugged it into the wall it booted up perfectly. All my data was in tact and the rom i had flashed through cwm was still there, not the kdz file that I flashed with the lg software.. I noticed that my sim card did not come up as being in the phone at all. I looked in system setting status and noticed that all info related to my imei said unknown. I opened up the mfg app (277634#*# from the phone app).. Under "version info" then "factory version" my phone now says xmm6260.. It always used to say p925..etc... Even after flashing the zip to debrand from at&t this never changed from p925 even when every other aspect of my phone has.. I was hoping maybe once I put in an activated sim card everything would be fine and my phone would be unlocked which is why i flashed through lg software.. But seeing as how other people are having this similar issue and their phones not seeing the sim card, well im looking for some advice.. Should I try and re flash kdz file through lg software again? if i do, im going to do it on my XP computer this time, not Windows 7..
Just wanted to add that I did try wiping data and cache from cm and no dice.. Root and CMW work fine but no matter what I do, if my phone is turned off, i cannot boot up or boot to cwm or boot at all unless i plug the phone into a wall carger and then once its on it stays on and i can unlug.. SORRY ABOUT THE LONG POST, THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP..
Hello, I am having the same problemws as you.. Have you found anything out yet? I'm trying to get some answers.. Did you try re flashing kdz with lg update?

Hi guys
I'm getting exactly the same thing aswell!! I wonder what the problem could be? I can boot the phone up if I plug it into the wall charger, but have no signal at all.
Anybody got a solution, please?

try this with the correct cable.
No IMEI/GSM Radio
Im having same problem, has anyone found a solution?
Im attaching some screen shots of the errors I get.
Thanks
imei missing
Is there any soltion? Please.
Reflash the phone.
Take out battery. hold down the up key, plug in cable to computer.
Wait till it installs or activates the necessary drivers. eg usb protocol etc.
Then run the recovery via lg tool by entering your imei number in the application.
This will install the latest stock version based on your imei (including baseband)

Thanks, I tried but it did not work.
I tried everything possible. KDZ flashed about 20 times. Flashed bin and fls files many times. I do not know what more to try. When I put androuid 2.2 After a while the cell phone turned on appears IMEI and IMESV, but disappeared again after reboot.
I put the phone in the CP - USB (3845#*920# port settings cp-usb) mode and I connect with hyper terminal when I type AT%IMEI my modem gives me IMEI. When I type AT%IMEI=? back to me is: [IMEI part1 [7] + IMEI part2 [8]] but I do not know how to write it. I tried all possible combinations and I still write IMEI write error. (AT%IMEI=xxxxxxxx + xxxxxxx AT%IMEI= x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, ......) I found [LGFlash Tool 1.0]LGP920_20120213_Download_WriteIMEI.dll at the CSMG server and I tried with LG flash tool so that instead of stock dll I put this dll but it failed. It gives me an error not read IMEI. There may be a BIN file that is used whit it??? Here's the dll if anyone wants to try.
All this hapend after simple reboot. I found service manual for LG internal use it says that this could happen becouse of fault in firmware, and that after write IMEI firmware should be updated to V21A to prevent this to happen. So some early firmware cause it.
I dont have warranty.
sorry for bad english.
Interesting.
When you run the official recovery tool and it asks you to enter your Imei, does it go ahead with the process and fully complete 100% with the flashing?
Do the problems then still occur? If you can get your phone to turn on at anytime, have you tried a full factory reset after that?

Yes it completes at 100% everything is ok I can turn it on, off, go into recovery and everything. Device is working perfect but android cant see IMEI, that is writen in eeprom. I tried factory reset numeros times, no help. When i start lgupdate official tool, tool also reads correct IMEI from device.
Seems an issue with the baseband updating/corrupted, although the lg tool flash recovery should have updated this as well. Have you tried the other flash methods (try one of the kdz roms in this forum. eg v21a for europe gingerbread) and use this flashing method (you would need to block the lg updater from accessing the net) There is a tutorial on this in this forum. it works via forcing a rom update and redirecting it into the lg flash program

I did that metod too. There is any metod here on this forum that I didnt try. Thanks for help. I dont know is it baseband or CP chip problem.
This may be guesswork, but if the baseband is flashed in a specific area of the phones nand space, perhaps the nand blocks there are corrupt which causes it to fail. Perhaps with some additional tools, it may be possible to format this area, marking the bad blocks as bad preventing the baseband data from writing to these area's. Just guesswork here.
Have you tried flashing other baseband versions seperately

Hi,
I have the same problem and tried almost everything written in this topic but didn't worked.
hyperterminal seems to be working for most of the optimus models but doesn't work with p920. I tried all the port settings and everytime got "IMEI WRITE ERROR" message.
any new suggestion?
I am able to get into CWM recovery but unable to install any OS on the phone. Ive tried installing all sorts of .zip, didnt work. NEED HELP.
It is Wind mobile Canada version of Optimus 2X.
How about a better explanation of "didn't work".
And, specific information about which roms you've tried to flash.
Also how did you flash CWM?

i bet you he didn't flash it through nvflash correctly or maybe he didnt use nvflash at all.

I have used NVflash via command prompt on windows XP. when i hold the power+ -volume I see another LG logo( since I'm using the latest version 5 of clockwork mod recovery). I download rome like eagleblood, weaponG2x, WindG2x(some one had posted original android), miuiandroig2x etc. I have been creating .zip of each of them and pasted onto my sd card via mounting sd card from CWM recovery. then installed .zip from sd card and selected each of them but it says INSTALLATION ABORTED before starting. Not able to get any rom installed. Please help.
kdz updater crashes after 100% under download section. it says decompressing necessary files and doesn't respond after 100% and crashes. I've tried win 7 home basic 64 bit, xp professional 32bit.
Does not respond after saying NORMAL MTK UPGRADE START
read the guides/tutorials again
First and foremost I think you need to read ALL the tutorials on here a little more thoroughly, the way you're describing things indicates that you are unfamiliar with the correct process of flashing different roms. "S/W upgrading screen"?? "creating .zip of each of them"?? The issues you're experiencing are almost 100% user error and nothing hardware related.
Having said that, before you start blindly flashing, do a nandroid backup of your stock Wind rom immediately, then and only then proceed to flashing custom roms/kernels. Also, I would double check the nvflash instructions and repeat that process in its entirety, there's really no need to use rom manager at all or have the latest recovery release (from my experience with 5+ Android phones rom manager serves little purpose unless you're on cm nightlies, cwm and some patience is all you need).
Hopefully that didn't sound harsh, I'm honestly trying to help you, but seriously re-read everything then proceed with flashing, and if you're still having issues hopefully you can include more detailed information next time.

Hi, I have a similar problem.. I rooted my phone yesterday and then installed rom manager. When flashing, I chose LG Optimus 2X (which turns out to be P990) instead of the T-Mobile one (which is P999). My phone is the P999 one with Wind as well.
After a few seconds, the phone restarted and got stuck in the loading screen.
After doing a few searches, I nvflashed a stock image, but under phone info, the Model changed from P999 to P990. Problem is, the baseband says unknown and cannot get any signal. I tried KDZ updates as well as trying to restore stock ROMs using CWM Recovery with no success.
The KDZ method doesn't work as it gives an error saying there is a problem with the phone connectivity. Stock restores get stuck in a bootloop.
Does anyone know what I should do?
I have also tried the following :
Booted into CWM Recovery>mount SD card>USB Mount > extracted LG-P999-V10f>backup and restore(in CWM)> restore> YES
It went through and at the end said Restore Complete! but when i reboot I still see the S/W upgrade screen. I tried Factory restore too after restoring the above mentioned RoM
PS:My phone is not rooted and it is Wind mobile Canada LG-P999dw. Incase i need to root it then how am i suppose to do that since i am not able to bypass the Stupid S/W upgrade screen

You've somehow flashed an Optimus 2X baseband and ROM, so your baseband is messed. There was a couple of users that have done that here already. Try searching for the threads. They got their problem solved.

I don't understand why you are zipping ROM's. They are already zipped and ready to be placed on the root of your card for flashing.

This is totally a misunderstanding for everyone. T-mobile got a specific branded version called the G2X (in the usa) but the rest of the world got Optimus 2x. I hate when G2X owners frown upon Optimus users that have questions in the G2X thread & vise versa (though there were none in this thread ). The threads need to be better named to P999 & P990 & these misflashes would not have occured. Not just on this site but the whole damn internet. Let me sum it up for the world lol ... There were 3 versions of the Optimus 2x released... The p990, The P999 & The Tmobile specfic branded G2X which is also a p999. I have a p999 Optimus 2x as stated in my Signature. People need to check their version & goto the appropriate forum, But it doesnt help when you are in the correct forum as a newbie & 10 ppl who actually have no idea what version your Optimus 2x is end up telling to to goto "THE OTHER FORUM" because they're in their own closed little world lol. C'mon guys... u know I love you all!
ANYHOW
I've heard of people using Smartflash (a tool made for the p990 ONLY) to partially unbrick p999's to a working state. Here's a small conversation I found on another site:
"Mrjava65, on Apr 29 2011, 18:48, said:
Is there any update on this?
I was one of (hopefully) many who confused the P990 as the same thing as the Optimus 2 @ or the G2X.
So now Im stuck ...If there was a smartflash for the P999 i could undo all this mess !
Any update would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
LOOK!
Sorry for not updating this topic previously. I had thought I did so however that was on xda. I was able to reinstall the factory rom from a link provided by a user on the xda forum and is also linked on this forum. Go here to download the rom http://www.fileserve.com/file/cwSGYn2/BIN_LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.zip. You'll need the smartflash tool for the LP9990 to flash the bin files. I was only able to successfully flash the AP.bin, I believe Paul is working on getting a working baseband. The phone will be restored to factory settings after flashing the AP.bin with full functionality. I noticed the baseband is weak and searching for networks does give errors occasionally so we'll be patiently awaiting an update to solve this issue. Albeit your phone will be functional enough to satisfy you till then. If you need any help with the steps just reply in this thread"
*****UPDATE***** : Try reading this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226795 seems like this 1 would be your best bet rather than the above!
Now I don't know if this will work but it appears to be the only option u have. AGAIN Smartflash is a tool for the p990 ONLY & I suggest u only use that method if the second method (second link above) does not work. The KDZ method was crashing for me too when I was trying to update to T-mobile GB OTA update stock but I found that skipping the part that says "Read Phone Information" helped me get past any freezing/app crashing. If you are have connectivity issues w KDZ then make sure you downloaded the correct driver from the LG website for the correct version of windows.
Please update us & let us all know if it remains a brick or if you worked out your problem.

I bricked my phone by flashing a bad recovery image, it hung at lg logo, all I had was S/W Update mode which is essentially download/emergency mode. Used lgnpst to flash Optimus M to it, no screen. Then I found the one for Optimus S. I figured the screen would work, so I flashed that one. Gingerbreak for root flash_image and xionia cwma recovery, which is what I used before i wanted to try a full touch recovery. nandroid restored to my quattrimus cm9 backup from before brick. No signal. Incorrect baseband, I am screwed. Now, my question is, "Can somebody supply me with the US Cellular .bin so that I can use lgnpst to flash that in emergency mode?" because that would fix the baseband and reallow my signal and data to work right? But I also screwed my MEID and all that when I unbricked it. I don't have any of that stuff. (the meid is under the battery I know that.) Please HELP Soon.
I am not a super noob, I know what I'm doing most of the time. I just can't seem to find that file.
Actually, I did find what I was looking for, and I did get the .bin. I will upload it to mediafire. Anyone who was in this same boat, or is just looking for a way to get your optimus device on US Cellular can get the .bin

Hello all,
I have a rather old android, Samsung R680 (repp) that I am trying to get to Generic. I have the generic firmware files from Samsung and they flash fine via the samsung PST. But when the flash is completed the phone will not start the wifi drivers. When you check the box it says Error. I have numerous things with days of searching on forums but just cant figure it out. I am pretty sure it has something to do with the Baseband (or modem) or the Kernel. The Kernel stays the same and doesnt change through the flash, the baseband does however change. I have tried the *#523# command to reload the divers but it says: NotSet Driver loaded [NG].
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I have tried changing the baseband by finding some basebands on the forums but I am not sure they are phone specific. They always error out either when I try loading via ODIN or Clockwork.
Is there a way to extract the baseband from a working phone?
Or "suck" out a working flash from a phone and re-apply it to another phone?
Thank you for reading and for any info you might have.
After unsuccessfully attempting to root my device, I was left with an unbootable phone.
I have tried everything to get my phone back working, with no success and I am losing hope.
I've used both LGUP (with 4 different firmwares, all NAO_US) and LG Bridge, all reporting success at the end, however my phone still does not get past the initial boot screen.
If I reboot it, it will show "Erasing.." and reboot right back to the LG boot screen, and proceed no further than that.
The only thing I can think of is because my phone is OPEN_US, and won't boot using NAO_US.
NAO_US is the only KDZ file that will work with my phone, every other KDZ I've tried just throws an error like "error (OPEN_US->AMZ_US).
I have turned Google inside out, as well as almost every LG firmware website, and have downloaded at least 40GB worth of KDZ files, but I cannot find
OPEN_US KDZ anywhere. I'm not sure if flashing OPEN_US will even work (though, why wouldn't it?), so I may be searching for something that is useless to me.
My LG G8 is Factory Unlocked, purchased from Best Buy - and it seems like nobody else on the planet has this variant. If someone has an OPEN_US KDZ file, I would be extremely
greatful if you could please link it to me. Otherwise, my LG G8 is now a glorified paperweight.
UPDATE:
Fixed!
I was able to locate an OPEN_US KDZ and flash my phone with it. Turned out I had overwritten the wrong partition in QIFL when trying to unlock the bootloader. I had to extract the firmware and manually reflash this file, but afterwards, my phone was successfully booting.
