LGMDP not recognize LG P500 after ICS update. How to flash baseband?

Greetings,
I am relatively new to the world of custom ROM but have tried to research as much as possible during my spare time. I am having some difficulties in flashing the new baseband to my LG P500 and I seek your help.
Long story: I have 2 LG Optimus One (P500) with stock Froyo ROM. They both has the old baseband (v10). On one of them, I managed to:
1) root it,
2) installed recovery,
3) flashed the ICS 4.0.4 (LG3 UI, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759908).
Two mistakes I made during the process were:
a) I did not back up,
b) I did not flash the new baseband before I flashed ICS ROM.
Now I have an almost fully functional phone but without GSM access. I tried to flash the new baseband using LGMDP, but LGMDP does NOT detect the P500 with ICS, even though
- USB debugging is turned on
This is on a Windows-7 machine. The Device Manager simply DID NOT detect the LG modem. However, if I plug in the other P500 with Froyo ROM, The Device Manager will detect it and so would LGMDP.
Can anyone please shed some lights as how I should proceed at this point?
thanks in advance,

I think you flash one of the ICS version that windows dont reconze phone,but in recovery it do,Try to flash the baseband with phone in emergency mode..
If dont work flash GB based rom so pc can reconize phone.

Till the time you figure out how to flash new baseband or whether
to flash a new baseband or stick with the old one..
Use this patch.. this will help you get GSM network.
Flash it through recovery!!
HERE

Try going into recovery, ldmdp should detect it.

thanks
I managed to flash the baseband by turning the phone into emergency mode. LGMDP detected the phone this way.
Thanks very much

ive done everything correct the download window appears and it says downloading complete and erasing something and so. it looks like its finished but it only went on for a couple of seconds everything was green. Should'nt it be like a progress bar and take some little more time? i thougt it was finished so i closed the download window and clicked start again but it says
ownload Start...
:We cant communicate with specific port and there is a big error.
The device isnt recognized in device manager.
I havent disconnected the usb yet becouse am afraid that if i do so the phone will be bricked!!
P.S ive just had it back from repair.

if :We cant communicate with specific port occurred before flashing started imo you should be okay pull the usb out and try boot the phone see what happens

But the first time i did it it said download complete and then it erased AP or something but the whole process only took a few seconds and then when a thought it was finished I closed it down. But then i thought when it said erasing and then erasing complete it maybe just erased the system bootloader and everything so i clicked start again and the error appeared.

IMO it is better and easier to use the kdz method that the dark lestat posted in development section

Should i disconnect and try to boot? Or is my phone hardbricked?

Haha I booted up my device and it worked but it didnt have a signal. I think smartflash only flashed radio so i will install a 21e rom and kernel.
Sorry if I bothered you guys ^^. Mods can close this thread

Disconnect Everything remove the battery for like a min pop it back in and switch on see if it boots.
If it boots use KDZ method
IF No boot try Flashtool again restart pc also

Ok so I installed prometheus rom + kernel but it has no signal it doesnt dect SIM. I think smartflash just simply erased all the radio software.

I disconnected it and was terrified that it was hardbricked but i could boot it to the lg screen but i could not enter recovery. I know that you can easily restore a logo brick but will do that tomorow.
I will NEVER try to flash anything again!!

Don't give up just yet! Look what you just did! You recovered your phone after you thought it was beyond your ability to do so. What you ran into is a near worst case scenario and doesn't happen that often. If you have ClockworkMod Recovery installed on the phone, just download your desired ROM and follow the steps for flashing it through there. You can do some great stuff with custom ROMs and you've already proven you are able to handle the problems that come with it. Don't think of it as a mistake, but your first lesson.

follow the ressurection guide. or remove and reinsert battery hold volume up and power button if you saw Sw download mode you can reflash back to a stock firmware using lg flashtool

No need for resurrection guide.
Use drastic00s noob guide and you'll be on rooted V8 with TWRP recovery, in no time.

Thanks for fast replies.. I already did it with the panda ball guide Im not sure if that is his exact name.
problem is that I cannot call phone says I have sim not inserted. My internal memory is 0.00 b so I cannot install ROM manager to get out of this
. After this flashing through PC do I still have my root and CWM ? If yes is there button combination to get in recovery? Btw there is notication going on every 20 seconds saying not enough space try again please help

I don't know who panda is or his guide but I can recommend you to follow drastic00s guide and you'll have V8 with custom recovery and root.
Be sure to flah xbsall v28b rooted and on top of it v8, like the guide says, so don't jump over some steps.
Do it step by step from the beginning.
Edit:And don't use rom manager, you don't need that.If I remember correctly It can brick your phone so don't use it.Anyway there is no need for it in the first place...
Edit2:When you flash V8 you can enter recovery like this:
1. When you power on or restart the phone, while the soft keys are blinking pres VOL-
or
2. Via P940 recovery app from your app drawer while the phone is booted(that app is installed with V8)

Can I do it even when my phone has the stock firmware?

Yes.
LG Flashtool is used to flash new .kdz firmware over any other firmware.
It doesn't matter on what android version you're now.
That means in the future you'll use the same guide to flash official v30b for P920 when it comes out.

Since I need to get phone working fast I need a really big research for everything about the rom and stuff (and found out people hate geting questions through PMs) .. I am right now in the process of installing the v28b but the LG Flash tool port 1 doenst show Ready when I clicked the arrow.. I dont have idea what went wrong I was doing everything as there was written..I used version 1.1..And Do you Use XSBA v8 rom? If yes how is your battery life because I just noticed that in the video battery life is poor... 1 percent for 1 minute.

In which video you have seen that cause V8 video is with power cable...

OK so I got here my p6200 rooted and then aceesed my recovery menu then I did a FULL WIPE
after that It reboot it and caused a BOOTLOOP (cant even turn it off keeps restarting so i need to drain it to get it OFF)
and so my problem is I am quite new with reflashing firmwares though i had already flashed firmware using odin with my galaxy y
and now I have hard time finding the Files Needed to reflash my firmware in this p6200
its quite complicated than i thought because one time i downloaded a firmware which is 600mb or so and i found that it has only one file
I remember that I need 4 files ....I think I need those 4 to for me to be able to flash the firmware am I right?
Sorry im pretty new with this

The way to fix that bootloop is to wipe from recovery but you cant access the recovery.. the firmware that you got.. is that your tablet's stock firmware? I mean.. every country has its own firmware.. and every tablet has its own stock firmware.. depending on the country you're in.. when im having that bootloop every time when i flash HC.. especially when i flash HC over ICS ( whenever i do something stupid and got stuck on bootloop ) my way out of the bootloop is wipe from Hc recovery..

Make sure you have a firmware that includes a ".pit" file.
Check (enable) "rePartition" in Odin when you flash
Make sure that the file you use is for your model and country.

Best place to find specific firmware - http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-P6200. The list is sorted by release date, so look through the entire list for your version and region.
You could possibly have a GT-P6200L or -P6201 (depending on your region/carrier), which you can select in the drop-down list on right side of the page.
I don't know if .pit file is included in the .tar.

thanks again to all who helped me :laugh:

I think that im on a big trouble now...my Pc wont Detect The Tab now (it says unrecognize Device) but it knows that the tab is connected to the PC
and when i charge the tab it shows a loading battery sign the one with rotating circle and it just stays like that even if i charge it whole day
it started happening when I tried to flash a different firmware in short i flashed a firmware which is not my stock
The firmware i download was a honeycomb firmware XXXXXXX.tar.md5 file on a zip
and so when i extracted the zip winrar said its corrupted (file size is the same i downloaded it without a pause or anything)
and so i just continue the extraction
and then i tried to flash it with odin and odin said md5 mismatch
SO I removed the md5 on the file so it would be XXXXX.tar
and now PC wont detect tab on Download mode and I cant get into recovery mode
any suggestions?

I'm not expert but from my dealings with Kies its pure crap lol. Though I would make sure to use a rear (not front) usb port and official samsung cable and try again with Odin with the tab in Download mode, if you can.
I think the steps here would apply (ignoring the different key combination for the tab plus and the stuff after the flashing part at the start)

finally solved the problem, after more tinkering with it, was able to go into download mode again by just pressing again the power button and the volume down button at the same time (funny thing i tried this method earlier but won't go to download mode but after leaving it on the table for an hour and getting back at it, worked fine). while tablet is in download mode, i run odin again and this time i used version 1.85, loaded the official U.K. version JB tar.md5 file, connected the cable and waited for it to be detected (windows did an auto update) and waited for the :id.com tab to light up to yellow color (by default only the auto-reboot and the F.reset was checked) and click start again and everything went fine. now i have jellybean and rooted it with framaroot(no hassle one click rooting process by alephzain, if it does'nt work just uninstall the .apk). my table is now a rooted jellybean
