Rare Baseband - T-Mobile LG G2x

i got this phone (is a tracphone lgl95g) y have flashed weapong2x i want to update my baseband in order for fix gps lock problems (im nicaraguan and my retired mytouch 4g dont have any problems with gps lock ) my baseband says NOV 07 , the lg tool says that my phone is already updated an say version V10F the allinoneg2x tool say the same :S i need help for fix gps or update baseband, i try tutorial but i couldnt done (sorry for my bad english lol)
Geetings e_e/

Maybe you have to do the offline update for it? There is a guide in forums.

Thanx
im trying right now thx for reply

Sorry fir the delay
I followed some tutorials but without success, I think my phone is some other type p999, all in one tool G2X tells me the v10c version is not supported, and I think the baseband chip is not the same as having tmobile, I hope you can help me I know it's ICS is close but I would update my baseband
PD: virtual windows xp with virtualbox

I remember reading somewhere that the tracphone G2x is NOT the same thing as the T-Mobile one, and isn't compatible (I think jboxer said something about it).
What is the model number under the back cover? That's probably the accurate model
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

in the back cover i have this:
<GPLGL95GB>
FCC ID BEJP999DW
TRACFONE WIRELESS, INC
IMEI : XXXXXXXXX
S/N: XXXXXXXXXX
LGL95G
MADE IN KOREA
I want to upgrade my baseband because in any ASOP rom, "message sent" always shows me even when I have balance in my carrier or sent to random inexisting number, to give an example if I send an SMS to "123456789" I get "message sent" , being that it is impossible to send a sms to that number, if I can not upgrade my baseband, i would like to know if there is any way to fix this please
I think it may be a mistake to see if the message was sent, and that's why I always shows "message sent"

You might find info in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1305077
The phone you have is an unreleased prototype that was supposed to end up on tracfone's network but later cancelled. It's basically the same thing as the g2x but has minor differences that could cause you trouble.

thx i will read the thread, look interesting lol

I remember something I read about the Tracphone P999 being unable to be unlocked and other restrictions it has because it was going to be marketed real cheap but only able to work with that service provider.

I dont now about that , jboxer say on his thread that, but i have a unlocked tracfone p999 unlocked by box service e_e
Any idea about the sms problem in aosp?
if this could help Somethimes during i am sending sms (always in aosp) my phone drop the signal

How did they unlock your phone? Was it with a hardware box such as an Octopus Box?
The cell radio modem is the same as in the G2X/P999, a Qualcomm, not the same as in the O2X/P990.

Yes i guess that was hardware unlock with a box (i dont know what box) mmmm ok if the baseband chip js the same g2x chip why i have this error on the lg tool ? :/

The LG tool checks the phone's IMEI and ROM version before it will authorize updating. If the IMEI isn't in the database for a particular update, LG's update server won't authorize updating. Did you try the offline update method?

Yes the method that i used is offline with the script http mini server in the screenshot you could see it e_e

When the package is downloaded from the internet Windows 7 blocks applications from running. Did you unblock the dll and .exe files (Properties -> General) and set each .exe to run as administrator first (Properties -> Compatibility)? Did you turn Windows Enabler On before running anything else? Next, run the http server then the update.

I used offline method in windows xp virtual machine , i will try tonight with windows 7, i turn on window enabler before to begin the procedure e_e

I've used Virtual Windows XP successfully. The problem with it is that the USB port disconnects and has to be manually reconnected to continue updating. The problem with Windows 7 is that there's an inherent flaw in the LG updater which caused problems which I think have been fixed with the last updater. Try what I've told you in Windows 7, I've successfully done it but, if that doesn't work, try Windows XP mode.

I will try in a real xp machine e_e

If you updated to v21y with kdz updater then use the same method that worked for you but select the v21e kdz file for use.
Get the v21e kdz file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24599112
thank you Core memory
Done in 5 minutes ,
Back to ICS
Flashing v21E from 21Y did not work for me. told me that I was up to date. Had to flash using "KDZ_FW_UPD" and make sure you flash using windows xp and not xp mode for windows 7. which failed for me but may work for you.
i flashed on windows 7 32 bit,

Using the update app called "KDZ_FW_UPD" it would crash every time. But using windows xp on a partition Harddisk worked fine. Windows xp mode also failed for me, when it disconnects the usb is does not reconnect it. even if i reconnect it it wont go any further.
I have tried this on windows 7, XP, even vista just to see. I have followed multiple guides and used multiple methods. I just can't get it to work and it has become an unhealthy obsession. I neeeed v21e back. Does anybody have ANY tips to get this to work beyond what's already out there?

Phone crashed tried to fix it, now no signal

Hi guys!
I'm a little new to all this Android stuff and tried to learn how to fix my phone but I've been reading around in circles now for two days and still can't make heads or tails out of it.
I've got a LG P920 Optimus 3D that has stopped working.
Now what happened is it froze like a it had before and didn't want to shut down when I held the power button so I took out the battery. When I turned it back on it got stuck at the LG logo right after the LG sound played.
I tried some sort of LG update but that didn't work then I tried a couple of things I found on different forums something to do with the LGflasing tool or something witch also didn't work (or at least I don't know what I'm doing) and at the end I was able to hold some vol+3d+power and got a recovery menu and wiped everything I could find.
Now the phone turns on fine and everything works except for the phone part. I don't get asked for a PIN and it just says "no network" with any SIM card.
Here's the data from my phone:
Country of purchise: Slovenia
Android v: 2.2.2
baseband v: L6260_modem_sic_01.1042.00
Kernel: 2.6.25.7
SW v: LGP920-V10K-SEP-17-2011
Can someone pleas help me and explain what I'd have to do to get this thing working again because currently I'm out of ideas and I have no idea where to start.
Can I do something on the phone to make it work or do I need to flash something and if so what and how. I'm really lost here and can't seem to make heads or tails out of all this.
Thank you for your help, patience and I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge in this area.

You wont connect to network till you get IMEI back. This is baseband problem. Check your PM i will send you instructions what to flash and how to restore IMEI.

I was able to use the method in the link above to put a newer rom on the device and it seems to be working fine.

You cant write IMEI with hyper terminal until your IMEI is that strange number. If you cant get it that way with smartflash tool (erase CP). Flash lg prada baseband that will do same thing. After that flash 21e baseband and restore imei with hyperterminal.
Edit: check if you got drivers instaled.

I think that's the route I'm going to take. Currently downloading Kies at ~10 KB/sec from Samsung. I'm not patient enough to wait.
I've also had zero luck using Odin from a Windows 7 VM on my macbook. The only thing that has worked via ODIN has been flashing CWM. I soft bricked my phone with Odin a month ago and took days to figure out how to fix (I blame myself for being a noob with android tho).

Update kdz with linux?

Hi i have a uk o3d with the stock baseband (21d?) Im currently using thiaiz 1.7 as it is the only rom i get a signal with. As i want to use his latest i know i need to uodate to 21e but i dont use windows. Is there another way

Have you tried wine? It actually pisses me of that android is linux but theres not much support on linux.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
I've been running Linux for almost 10 years and have asked the same question. Bottom line is I've not yet been able to use Linux to update phones. Best advice I can give is "borrow" a PC running XP. If you google XP on usb stick there are methods that seem ideal for these odd occasions. I've also tried via virtual box but that failed too. I'm not too happy trying "possible" methods in case the update fails part way, and the phone gets bricked.

[Q] 'Emergency calls only' after ROM upgrade

Colleagues,
My Galaxy Note 2 came with its stock ROM, which I decided to upgrade. Because I didn't know what I was doing, and I was following several sets of instructions, I messed about in CWM wiping and formatting various bits (what an idiot!). Eventually I got a good build and it all worked fine. However.......
Could I do something in CWM that would wipe out the mobile voice and data functionality?
Here are the symptoms: when scanning for 'Network Operators' it finds five of them, including my own (O2-UK). When I tell it to choose O2-UK, it says the phone is registered on the network, and the signal strength meter is about two thirds of the way up.
However, the phone reports "Emergency calls only" and no voice or data service. It won't send or receive any calls.
I can't believe it's a hardware fault, because the radio is obviously working OK as it can see the various mobile networks, 'register' on O2-UK, and update the signal strength meter. It seems more like I've accidentally deleted some essential piece of software (a driver?).
I've tried several custom ROMS; I've installed a couple of different modems, and I've installed a new kernel. Nothing makes a difference. Here is what I'm currently running:
Android version 4.4.2
Baseband version N7100XXUEMJ5 (EMI6 also tried)
Kernel version 3.0.101-India-v2.7.3-OC-INTL [email protected] #1
CyanogenMod version 11-20140319-Linaro-n7100
Build date Wed Mar 19 01:26:42 CDT 2014
Build number cmn7100-userdebug 4.4.2 KOT49H e464f01cde2 test-keys
Have you any idea what I could do to get the telephony working? I'm out of ideas. So far I've turned it into a fine 5.5" Android tablet!
Many thanks,
Steve

Ah, thank you, Vithlani2. The IMEI number from dialing *#06# is:
354666056818321
The IMEI number inside the phone is:
354666/05/861832/3
If I remove the slashes and compare:
354666056818321
354666058618323
The ...68... is reversed to ...86... and the final 1 is changed to a 3.
Could this be the problem, do you think? If so, is it possible to fix it?
(I forgot to add in my first email that the SIM card works in two other phones, which suggests the SIM card and my local O2 network are working OK).
Thanks,
Steve
Just to add: there is a file manager than comes with this ROM. I read somewhere that Samsung keep the IMEI in the 'efs' partition (thought I don't know if that is true, I just read it).
By starting at the root, and giving permission, I can see a folder called 'EFS'. Inside that is a folder called 'imei', which contains a file called 'mps_code.dat'.
However, this file is only three bytes long so it can't contain the IMEI, I believe.

Thank you very much for trying to help. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Using Maui META 3G v6.1316.01. I'm following the procedure here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CokpIVGPBw
It fails at the point where I switch the phone on with the cable plugged in (1m 15s): Maui simply doesn't see my phone - it just says "Please connet cable to target and power on", and doesn't change no matter what I do with my phone.
The Samsung USB drivers and cable are fine because I can talk to the phone with Odin3, which is how I installed the custom ROM.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again,
Steve
