I am new to all this Android mi'larky - what exactly is the baseband and what is it's role?
Also is it the baseband that gets hacked so you don't need a modified USB cable to upgrade?
TIA.
Baseband is the code that manages all radio connections such as 2G/3G/4G mobile network/data connections. I think Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are also managed by baseband.
With android, you dont need a modified usb cable unless you mess up your phone while trying to hack it
Thanks for the clarification exceleth.
No problem dude
just another question about baseband
well
i got this problem with a few ROMs.
the problem is:
the SIM doesnt connect
i cant do calls or go online or something
is it because of the baseband?
do you know what i have to do?
You have to flash the baseband first to get your radio working:

Or flash the V21a Gingerbread kdz, which includes the required baseband along with gingerbread:

Good Morning,
After flashing the Gingerbread Baseband I no longer am able to register on the network for my provider.
The device is from Rogers but unlocked and being used on the Bell network.
After flashing I realized there may be a different baseband for me to use in Canada (just North of Toronto).
I require some help in locating a Gingerbread baseband that would work or provide me with instructions on how to return to the original baseband.
Any help is appreciated!
Thank you kindly,

Did you set the APN manually? You have to do that.
Hello!
APN in Menu|Settings|Wireless & Networks|Mobile Networks|Access Point Names ?
I have set that to: pda.bell.ca
Is there other steps required though?
Thank you for the response!
apn settings is for internet. phone must tower of sim. may be flashing baseband again will soveit because i am tower getting for my country
If you're wanting to go back to stock froyo first you need to visit here to get your original rom... these will also flash the baseband back too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874
then you will need to follow this turtorial in order to flash the stock rom back on (go down to second post that one is in English )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
Although it is a possibility that the BB hasn't flashed correctly, might be worth trying it again... might also be worth trying a froyo rom to see if you get a signal then, because if you do you still have the froyo baseband on...

Thanks adixtra i always forget about the tutorial of yours
You can flash a .Bin File for Your P920 or P920H.
Ok, now this is getting bizarre hah.
I reflashed the baseband again and everything went normal as it did before.
This time I searched for networks and selected my provider. After about 5 minutes of the device trying to register on the network an error was received that said it was unable to register on this network.
However, when I got to my home screen I was registered on the network. I tested a voice call and it worked. I have tested data as well.
BUT! This is where it gets even more bizarre...The device cycles from 4 signal bars to 2 signal bars to none to 3G (from H) followed by not being registered on the network. Then a few minutes later (sometimes only after a reboot) it returns to 4 bars and begins the cycle again.
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Thank you again for your help!

Good Evening,
Would you be able to upload the KDZ file from your update?
I am having problems with the LG Phone Recovery indicating that I have the most up to date software and halting the recovery process.
Thank you!
- Audi2Audi
Hello,
I flashed an earlier KDZ which allowed me to use the LG Update tool to restore my stock rom.
Thank you everyone for your help and advice.
- Audi2Audi.
it will tell you that but if you use recovery mode and it will download the file then you will have to unplug the phone from usb hold vol+ power then plug it back into the usb and it should download. like i said i used similiar method to flashing baseband
On my windows 7 not detect omap 4 and i can't flash baseband,what can i do?
Hi Guys,
I have some question and already 1 day I can't solve it, I can't get any signal from my phone and mobile network connection such as hsdpa or edge or etc. suddenly after I charging my phone thru usb from pc the signal just gone and there's cross (x) on signal icon. I don't know why but phone seems can recognize my provider but no signal. Is it baseband? or what? I already re-flash rom or flash another rom but didn't work
Thanks, I need fast respond!
Which baseband are you on??
Re-flash the baseband!!
If this doesnt work.. go to service centre!!
Your phone antena is screwed up.. the board has to be replaced!!
It's most likely the baseband, try flashing something like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=887281&highlight=void
and if you get signal on that rom that means that you have the old baseband, which means you need to either use a baseband fix, use an old baseband rom or upgrade your baseband. If you don't get signal on the rom I linked or any new baseband roms (like cm9, aokp, cm7, cm10) then there might be a hardware problem.
If you can search network but still X on signal?? Go network preferences and select GSM.
I`ve got an LG MyTouch Q (C800) which was network locked to T-Mobile, i`ve flashed the latest nightly CM9 (doing everything by the instructions), and now the phone can`t connect to any mobile networks. Looking for a solution i`ve found that you can flash a stock baseband to solve this, but everytime i flash this stock baseband image through CWM recovery nothing changes - no network connections and baseband still shows "unknown". IMEI is the same as on stock ROM.
Removing the sim card doesn`t bring "emergency call" option and there is no "no sim card" sign in the tray, and the phone acts like it has a sim card in it when trying to connect to a mobile network it says that "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later".
Flashing back to stock ROM solves the problem - i have a baseband number and emergency call works but the biggest problem still exists - it`s network locked.
So the question is:
Am I flashing correctly this stock baseband through CWM recovery or I am doing everything wrong?
P.S.
I can`t post in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704 and instructions on stock baseband flashing were sketchy at best.
No one knows? Please guys\gals help, it`s driving me nuts that I can`t figure it out how to flash this baseband.
Good day. I've been scouring the forums for a week now and I have a fair grasp of which guides I should follow. However,I have a limited technical capability to fix it and a fair share of knowledge through reading. So if there's any of you who can pitch in some ideas,I'd gladly appreciate it.

History
I acquired an LG SU760 phone which has been,at the time,on Gingerbread. Can't tell specifically the details but as far as I can recall,
it had a CWM recovery on it.I believe it was also rooted since I saw a SuperSU app.
Upon learning that the unit can be upgraded to ICS, I wanted it to be reverted on official stock GB,and then,later updated to official ICS thru OTA.
So I had the unit sent to a "TECH GUY" who apparently failed miserably on fixing it.Instead,leaving me with the unit with the issues above.
From what he told me,He apparently flashed or used a p920 rom,then failed. Soft bricked the thing. Downgraded it to GB. Updated it to ICS port,but got the Camera inverted and the 3 soft keys messed.Reverted back to GB with intact wifi and bluetooth. Noticed it consumed too much phone memory.And then finally settled into downgrading the thing to Froyo 2.2.2. Now I have a LG SU760 on froyo 2.2.2 with no WIFI, no BLUETOOTH, significant signal issues,no mobile internet connectivity,and a functional camera.Pretty useless if you ask me.

After reading some guides,and inputs from others,here's the issues that I thought may address the situation.
Maybe it has an IMEI problem
Maybe it was a baseband error
Maybe it had a bad flash?
So with these, I ask your help.

Priority 1:How do I upgrade it to Gingerbread and ICS?
Priority 2: How do I fix it's wifi,bluetooth,and mobile data issue?
So if you're kind enough to help a noob,then bless your soul. I work in the health sector from the Ph and being able to fix this unit might as well cut my father's losses.
Thank you for your help.

How can I flash a baseband?

Wondering where I can find and download the proper baseband to get service from my carrier...
Running custom firmware and my cell service randomly drops out. I read I may need to flash a new baseband.
If so, where would I find that, and what exactly would I need to do to install it?
Thanks
