Need help installing gb baseband

Ok im on lg thrill,I have all my drivers install,I have the lg,omap,etc installed.I hold the volume button up and plug up the phone,but it does not show the "detected new hardware,I also try the volume up plus power button and still no work,i am on windows xp,Ive been trying to do this for the last couple of days,what am i doing wrong???????

Make sure to double check that you did everything and installed everything as stated in the instruction thread. Run flashtool as admin. If still doesnt work, and this is only way it worked for me, do the power volume up but remove the battery. Thats how i was able to install the baseband after 2 days of trying.

i just want to share what i did to flash GB baseband.
1. i uninstall everything that smell LG from my computer (pc suite, divx, LG smart world, LG flashtool)
2. install step by step everything from the beginning (except LG pc suite that come from the phone), then i install pc suite (2 file) that come from the tutorial page.
3. follow instructon from the tutorial page.
4. my computer didn't detect omap but LG modem, and when it needs the driver, i take it to omap driver that's been installed before.
5. change port and follow the tutorial.
6. when connecting to computer, first time to make it "ready"
7. second time connecting, i took out batterey first before connecting back to finish the flashing.
8. flashing and stop at 22% (GB "leaked" baseband), restart phone,..and the signal bar finally there.
PS : im using Win XP sp2,..sorry for my bad english

1. Do i uninstall the lg drivers also?
2. Do you mean the lg flash tool?

i did exactly the same as ssfirme , i found the original instuctions didnt work for me, i think for me the bit that made it work was removing the bettery before connecting it to the computer for a second time as this step isnt in the original instructions

[Q] think i bricked it good and proper

ok i need help please , i had gbread on it and installed superoneclick to get root then tried to flash cwm with vipermod. message said out of storage space or something (dont have ext mem only internal)and now phone will not turn on.
have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 and phone was recognised by omapp but couldnt change the port in device manager and couldnt find a bin to download so i tried to flash a kdz v21a
clicked start on lgflasher but nothing happened so after about 5 mins i cancelled it thinking without the port change it was a waste of time.
now i cant even get omapp to flash up when i connect phone . device manager refreshes but i cant see anything change .
hope thats enough info for some kind person to help.
many thanks in advance
marty

Where did you get vipermod from? The Transformer Prime forums? That's meant for the TFP and would not have worked with the O3D since it flashes to mmcblk0p4 rather than mmcblk0p. You should have used the flasher here.
Download this, this and this. Extract smartflash.zip, install both driver packages. Then, run Windows Enabler, in the notifications bar, click it and make sure it is set to 'on'.
Now remove your phone's battery and sim card, press volume up and connect your phone to the computer. Hold volume up until it is detected by the computer. It should take no longer than 20 seconds.
Now run B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe, go to rom copy d/l, select LGP920_CP.fls for CP bin and LGP920_AP.bin for AP bin. Make sure under communications setup that your phone is connected (verify the com port in device manager) and then click start. If all goes well, you'll have a stock v21D phone again

Thanks for the help guys but i'm not getting a com port when i connect the phone so i don't think i can use any of those methods . or can i
i want to go back to the beginning and see if omapp will detect phone and install drivers but i can uninstall the installer but dont think that will remove the drivers , does anyone know how to do that.(cos i think i messed that bit up )
thanks again
marty
vipermod , i think i followed a link somewhere in the o3d forum where someone said u could use it to flash cwm

so , i uninstalled all lg drivers uninstalled omap installer searched registry for for any mention of omap and deleted (some wouldnt delete ) .
restarted computer (xp by the way )
then installed omap installer and lg drivers and connected phone holding vol up
and................. NOTHING whereas yesterday i had a little icon in the task bar and the opportunity to install omap drivers.
conclusion , phone is dead , i had an oppurtunity to fix it yesterday and i blew it
hope someone tells me i'm wrong but its not looking good
marty

take off battery and just put your usb cable and tell us if it shows omap in your device manager
dont press keys

if i connect phone without battery device manager just refreshes a couple of times but nothing changes with regards to ports doesn't matter if i have vol+ button in power button in or nothing
thanks anyway
marty

am i getting somewhere
update : ok so i'm on a clean install of xp and i connected the phone with vol+ and it wants to install omap4430 drivers. is that good news?
i installed omapinstaller , then the 2 lg drivers ca and ma , then reconnected the phone and went thro omap driver install but still don't have any ports in device manager
is there no way i can force it to flash without it having to think it is connected cause if its recognising it as omap4430 there must be something there
don't want to give up on it too easy , if only i put this much effort into it whilst it was working lol
marty

evening all . new update
tonight i've installed the lg support tool and drivers and found that if i leave my phone connected i occasionally get "TI sample boards" popping up in device manager for a couple of seconds without having to press buttons , unfortunately it doesn't stay on for any longer with buttons pressed.
i was wondering how to force install the "LG CDMA composite usb device " drivers cos its never asking for them as it should according to the tutorial
hope someone can help cos i've seen a few threads with same problem as me

this is an extract from the resurrection guide. See if this helps.
If you plug your Phone on PC without battery, OMAP4430 device appeared for seconds and then disappeared in your Windows Device Manager
(check arsen4oo photo guide in post #3)
On windows 7 sometimes OMAP4430 flashes too fast so you cant install driver.
There is a a windows feature that will help you install the driver easier.
To view devices that were once installed but are no longer attached to the computer, open a Command Prompt window using the Run As Administrator option and enter the command:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
Then, from the same command prompt, type devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager. Choose View, Show Hidden Devices. The new instance of Device Manager will show “ghosted” entries for devices that were once present. This technique is especially useful for fixing problems caused by leftover drivers after replacing a network card or video card—you can easily delete the ghosted device or update the OMAP4430 driver.
You are lucky. Mine doesnt even show the OMAP4430 in device manager.

Mine shows up once I have unplugged and plugged it in a million times using the resurrection guide and it never catches it I asked for help in the guide thread and nobody replied so I am sending it to LG maybe I hope they take it and when I get a new logic board I will try again lol but this time I will do the flash tool and flash both files at once not one at a time like somebody said you should I wish someone could team viewer me and see if I got everything correct but no help for me

Mine did this after I installed the ICS update. OMAP4430 flickering in Device Manager. Watch your phone while holding power+vol_up and after about 3 seconds you will see recycling arrows and a bunch of Korean characters. Let go of the buttons as soon as you see it. Then my LG USB serial port showed up and I was able to flash. It seems that getting into download mode changes with each major sw upgrade...

Just one question...
Why are you guys trying omapboot download mode if you just want to flash ICS?
If you want to flash ICS you dont need omapboot just put phone in normal download mode...and for normal download mode you dont need the omap driver :/
Don't do unecessesary steps you are just making your life harder...omapboot download mode is only for bricked phones that dont turn on at all and have no normal download mode...

Mine would boot but couldn't flash correct baseband until I used the guide and the drivers as it wouldn't go into download mode so to me it was necessary IMO may not of been but I didn't know another way and it worked

Yeah wayno i am not saying you didnt have a problem but i will tell you from my experience so far that people asked me for teamviewer sessions because they "tried everything" and didn't work but at the first 10 sessions i said ok some where missing drivers others didn't know the key combination etc etc..
When i reached the 20 teamviewer sessions it was still the same thing..old drivers, not following procedure etc etc..
At 30 teamviewer sessions the same...
40, 50 until i decided not to have any other teamviewer session because everybody said they tried everything but didnt work but "magically" with teamviewer everything worked (apart from 1 p920 that really had a hardware problem, i fixed that too with a different method).
The bad thing is that people posted in every thread in order to find a solution and actually the solution was to follow the guide (not the omapboot unbrick guide :/, the lg flashtool guide) and that made it difficult for the rest of the users, i had lg flashtool questions in rom thread, in bricks thread, in basebands thread but the right thread to ask actually was the LG Flashtool thread and if they asked there it would be easier for them to get an answer and also for the rest of the users to read..
I know this ICS is a great thing and everybody wants to try it from novice to experienced users but if we don't get organised it just gets out of hand :/ and saying the same thing in every thread is just annoying.
I know the lg flashtool guide is old but i cant make a guide for everything and reading a few pages especially in the end i have also posted there some info.

I totally understand your frustration and it did make it hard my problem was I overlooked a few things but when I got pointed in the right direction a few times lol I eventually found my way. And yes the clutter did make it hard for those who were following the rules and needed help couldn't get it cause there was just too much for the few people who understand it all. But now I got it and am trying to talk my wife into letting me do her phone lol after I failed. BTW awesome job bringing this old thing back to the forums pure genius.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
I tried but nothing happening..its not detecting as usb to change port to 41.
Is there any other way?? Also for flashing when i insert battery and press volume up and then connect it starts and shows LG logo and goes blank.

It is not showing in PORT in device manager when connected pressing volume + button

Does the phone go to download mode ("S/W upgrade mode ) ?? By insert the battery while you hold vol+ ??
You will see two arrows like the sync symbol in your phone screen . And then the phone will still connected with the PC .
Your problem is easy to fix . Just try to enter download mode . And every thing will be fine .
Good Luck

You hardbricked your phone if it doesn't go into download mode.
But no panic there is always a solution;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836
Follow the guide above. (and I mean every step , however small they may seem)
ICS roms are now pre-rooted so you don't have to root.
Flash Xbsall's Ported custom ics (The one in the guide.)
Then install wkpark's recovery img. (Found here ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978543)
Boot into recovery.
Install Darkroom ICS Int. (It's the best in my opinion) or whatever rom you wish.
They are all pre-rooted.
If you can't i'll guide you through it.
Hope i Helped.
Cheers!

Everything worked fine till step 9..But still not showing anything in Ports

Make sure the drivers are correctly installed. Especially omap4430...
Start the script that has been referred to in the guide.
Shut down the phone , remove the battery , plug usb cable and when you see "waiting for 5 seconds" plug in the battery. That should work.
Keep me posted.

That may mean you have a bad cable.
But if you restored it , it's probably sometimes bad or you changed it or you used the front panel which is a hub (divides bandwidth , slows flashing process) and it's bad for ya.
Since my real name is turkish and hard to spell i'll give one better ;
Call me John.
If you must know my real name is "Dogukan".
And yes i can help you with that although it's relatively easy now that you got a hold of it.

Thanks a lot Dogukan..
Are you into android development? Am a real noob in this and you helped me coming out of really difficult situation.
Now i want to root my phone and everytime its showing 'error no device find'

I'm not into android development... my skills lie in networking so there is not much i can do for android.
But those are common knowledge...
I bricked my phone several times to learn those.
You don't need to root. Follow wkpark's recovery installation and flash a custom rom (Darkroom int is great)

[Q] LG optimus 3d p925g bricked

I've looked at the similar threads , to be honest even if one of the suggestions might work , none of the people seem to have the same problem from my understanding.
So apologize ahead of time as i imagine someone has bricked in a similar fashion in some thread buried somewhere.
But have an unlocked P925g lg optimus 3d, got a few days ago.
Last night i rooted just fine , root checker says it was rooted properly.
Then i installed rom manager as i was following manbearpigs post.
When i got to flash clockwork mod , i clicked the button and it looked like it was doing some flashing , but the phone turned off to reboot??
and now when i power on the lg logo appears and then the screen goes funny.
If i try to hold the power down and 3d button , i get a green screen . However i'm very unsure of what to do next.
However when i plug into usb the phone goes black , refuses to turn back on until i take the battery out.
I'd pay someone here if i could , but i'll take any help i can get.
Appreciate any help.

I don't KNOW, but just an idea:
May be your phone is stuck in download mode?
With this latest ICS (original, not ported) my phone shows black screen when in download mode (no message SW UPDATE and something in Korean).
Did you try to plug your phone to PC? Does your comp see it?
From what I read flashing wrong CWM might cause problems...
Also try to read Ressurection thread by xbsa, it helped me couple times
Don't give up!

My computer does see the phone if i take the battery out , and push the volume down while it connects. However when it connects , it cannot find drivers that it find originally.
I'd be happy just to have the phone back to froyo right now , however i am not giving up , just asking for advice. Will reply once i look at the resurrection post you suggested.

just try the LG flash tool to flash without reinstalling drivers, if it doesn't flash you have to uninstall all LG drivers, reboot your computer, install again LG drivers and flash Bin files using Flash tool, you don't have to flash Bin and fls files at the same time, first Bin file, if there is no network close LG flash, open it again and flash Fls at second time to get the right baseband (sometimes it not necessery to flash this fls files)
or just follow this guide

To get to download mode you need to keep battery in, remove sim and SD card. Hold vol+ and plug USB cable. You should see message SW UPDATE and some Korean. My phone now doesn't show it, just blank screen. But LG Flash sees it and u can flash bin fls.

Remove drivers and use the LGMobile Support Tool to install the drivers, if your phone is connected it should detect it and finish the install process. I believe the P925G is a Rogers device? You might have to select Rogers as your carrier to find the drivers.

ok so i've deleted all lg related material from my computer, when i connected the phone to the computer with battery in , nothing happens.
Without battery , it detects automatically , then it continues a loop of picking it up and dropping off .
So i moved to my laptop , attempted to follow the guide kupuku posted, however after getting the went logo on the phone , it never gets past that stage no matter what i do.
I've also tried LG support tool , it doesn't detect my phone on either my computer or laptop , even after installing/reinstalling the proper drivers.
LG does have a live chat which isn't open and the phone number can not be reached from my area.. i imagine its a 1800 number for asia or something as i do live in Canada.
My only other choice is to take the phone down to a guy that can get it out of boot loop for close to what i paided for the phone a few days ago.
Least to say , that option is something i want to do , nor can i afford to do.
once again i apprecaite the help that has been given , and for any that will be given.
edit:
Ok so i got lg mobile support to work by doing recovery and entering my imei number. Its currently at 4% but its been close to an hour and a half. Might restart and see if that works , but my phone is doing the logo boot repeat pattern still , even during this update. so not sure what exactly is happening.
