I purchased an Optimus T (P509) in 2012 and had it unlocked to use on a trip I went to europe. I played around with it a lot and messed with custom roms and basebands, and then left it alone for about a year. I'm now downsizing my phone/tech collection in general and looking to update this to use as a daily driver.
Here's the info about my phone:
ClockworkMod recover v5.0.2.0
Baseband: LGP509AT-00-V10l-OPEN-COM-OCT-23-2010
CyanogenMod version: 10-20130108-UNOFFICIAL-p509
Build number: cm_p509-userdebug 4.1.2 JZO54k eng.arjen.20130108.030427 test-keys
My questions are:
What updates to baseband (if any) do I need to do? Would this mess up my unlock?
Do I need to flash a new recovery?
What ROM would be best for my needs as a daily driver? requirements are stable without crashes and everything works, followed by the newest android version.
Really the rom part I can experiment with later, I'm just not sure if I've hosed myself with the baseband 'fixes' that I recall messing with 2 years ago. I have a new sim card on the way that I will use with this.

1 - Actually upgrading baseband on that device would lock you out of some frequencies the radio ( not the FM radio ) uses to communicate with the carriers towers. I also have a Optimus T ( P509 ), tho no longer in service.
2 - Depends if you want KitKat ( 4.4 ). If you do then you'll need CWM 6.0.4.4 or newer. I am currently working on a utility for older CWM versions to be able to install KitKat but until then you'll need what I just mentioned. If not too interested in KitKat then you can leave your recovery as is. I use CWM 5.0.2.7 Touch by @vivekkalady. I've been using her recovery since she introduced it.
3 - You'll have to search and make that decision for yourself as we all have different needs and habits.

That's interesting what you said about the current baseband, I'm not sure if I changed it after I last used it. But I turned off airplane mode and popped in a T-mob sim and it wasn't able to connect to a network, similar results with H2O wireless card (at&t mvno). I'm not sure if my current version of android is messed up or the baseband.
I don't mind upgrading CWM, is there any downside to doing so? Is there a kitkat build out now that works? I may want to use KitKat as I hear it's meant to be more usable on smaller memory systems like the p509.
I don't mind finding one I like eventually, but looking for a recommendation to start off with that should work without too much difficulty.
Thanks for you help so far, I hope if can figure out this cell network problem :-/

Either your APN settings are wrong, which you can manually fix, or you did upgrade/downgrade/change baseband. The P509 is supposed to be an old baseband phone. The P500 and P509 are identical. Only difference is the P500 is a new baseband device. You can flash a P500 ROM. If you don't get any signal, then most likely your on old baseband. There is a patch for that, no biggie. If you do get signal then you're on new baseband and you should continue to use P500 ROMs. If you decide to flash a P509 ROM you won't have any service which will be a baseband issue. There is a new baseband patch around here somewhere too.
You can find a link to the old baseband patch in the LG Optimus One FAQ. Post #8 or #9, I think.

I wasn't certain what my starting point was since I'd done this so long ago (and I thought I applied the old BB fix at some point too...). Anyways, I took a drastic step and installed the stock rom V10s_00.kdz with the kdz installer from LG. It successfully flashed and I don't have a brick on my hands
The problem is now the phone doesn't recognize any sim cards, of which I've tried 3: tmobile micro, h2o micro, and a gophone minisim. The microsims were put in a cut out minisim as an adapter. The gophone is a normal minisim that is uncut, but it's not activated. I never got a locked or bad sim message, just that there is no sim card in place.
Under phone status it shows a signal strength (varies -65 to -75 and 25 asu)
Under APN settings it matches the T-mobile ones
And the baseband via secret menu is amss6038
I'm wondering if the sim module or gsm module are messed up? I kinda want to try out the emergency calling but would rather not get the police involved
I messed up my SIM contacts when I left an adapter in there and pulled it a little too hard out! I removed the compression plate on the back and it works again. I'll have to get a small piece of electronic safe foam to apply pressure to the back of the SIM to keep it in proper position. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598308)
I'm interested in the kitkat build here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589303
If I were to want to use that, do I need to flash the baseband fix on top of the other install instructions? Anything special in terms of timing it at a certain point in the install process?
Thanks for your help so far, I forgot how much fun messing with android was :laugh:

Well, we still aren't sure if your device is new or old baseband. With the recovery you already have, flash CM10.1, CM10.2, or CM10.3 ( All JellyBean ). Latest CM10.2 builds can be downloaded here. Easiest way to work around the baseband thing is to figure out which ROMs, P500 or P509, that will give you cell service. Flash a P509 ROM. If no service then you upgraded baseband so you'll need to use P500 ROMs. Flash a P500 ROM and if no service then you're on old baseband and you should use P509 ROMs. Only difference between P500 and P509 ROMs is the P500 ROMs are NEW baseband and the P509 ROMs are OLD baseband.
As of now the only KitKat ROMs being build are for the P500. If you find you are OLD baseband, flash the oldbb fix from the FAQ I mentioned a couple posts back. Oh, and you'll need the newest CWM 6.0.4.4 or newer recovery to flash KitKat.
Hope all this helps...

Well, I'm on the old baseband, the reason I know is I used KDZ to nuke it back to p509 stock! The more I read about kdz after I did it the more scared I got, but I lucked out and everything is fine now
The sim unlock is preserved, and I successfully rooted it with gingersnap. I don't have any sort of recover on it yet, it looks like CWM 6.0.4.4 does not work with older roms, just Kitkat based ones. So I'll do some more homework and figure out if I want to jump right into KK or try JB first.
Thanks for all your help, you gave me a quick jumpstart and brought back a lot of knowledge that was tucked away in the back corner of my brain!

Hi All,
I had flashed my LG Optimus One P500 with Stock ROM + Custom Recovery with the help of this forum.
I had also rooted my mobile and tried to install ICSLunarPro v2.4.3. Post Installation, I could see that the status bar is not appearing and the mobile doesnt recognize the mobile network GSM/3G. Even the media such as mp3 and images were not recognized in the respective applications.
Below are the details about the issue:
Mobile: LG Optimus One P500
Current ROM/Firmware version: V20C + Custom Recovery (CWM)
Android Version: Android 2.3.3
SD Card Size: 8 GB
Custom ROM: ICSLunarPro v2.4.3 (to be installed)
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408952
I would like to know if this problem is due to baseband version compatibility issues. Please let me know your opinions on this. Even I had installed another ROM (ICS Themed with Android 2.3.7) which had the similar issues like this as well.
Thanks!!
You certainly have a new baseband, if you want to flash ROMs which support only old baseband you must revert to old baseband first.
Otherwise if you don't want to play with your baseband then there are other ROMs available here built over v20 platform.
Is it possible to upgrade the baseband according to the ROM or it would make some serious problems due to mobile network?
My phone has the latest baseband (v20g europe) and i have recently tested some CM-based ROM's without flashing the old baseband. The rom's work perfectly and you simply do not have GSM or data connection (wi-fi works though). If you are having problems with a ROM, they are very likely caused by unclean partitions: make sure to always do a factory reset, wike cache and format /system before applying a new ROM via zip file.
bye
I also flashed the new ICSLunarPro 2.4.6 with the New Baseband v20G(Used an guide on here to switch to it when I tried an Gingerbread ROM for an while.) I didn't realize it was an v10E baseband ROM, but the ROM still installed correctly and all. I did an switch of the baseband after and service worked when I did so but the dev for ICSLunarPro recommends an complete wipe/reinstall for it to work correctly.
What I would suggest doing, go into your recovery(i recommend CWM Recovery) Wipe Data, Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Battery Stats. Then Flash ICSLunarPRo, wait for it to boot, change the theme with Theme Chooser to either Ice Cream or LunarUI, then go back to Recovery, apply the Patch he posted for 2.4.6, then it should be set. Resetting the Dalvik is very important if you had an ROM running before hand, I think you skipped that.

You need the old baseband fix. Search the forum and you will surely find it.
Nexus7/ParanoidAndroid/MKernel
Good.. you didnt create a new thread for this.
There are only two types of baseband in LG P-500.
New Baseband.. " v20 c/d/e/g etc "
Old BB " v10 c/d/e/h etc".
As FitAmp said.. nowadays all the roms are made for NEW Baseband.
You can either upgrade Baseband using various methods or use a temporary FIX.
Flash the first link in my signature below AFTER flashing any rom.
If you arent able to flash the fix.. normally unzip it.. paste it in /system/lib using rootexplorer. Set right permissions.

Thankyou so very much.
I am getting signal now.
However WIFI Tethering has stopped working, but dont makes a big difference....
I am heartly thankful to you for your kind support..
Hey XDA modders,
Last year I upgraded with the leaked Gingerbread incl. baseband:
Android 2.3.5
L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00 baseband
GRJ90 build
2.6.35.7+ kernel
LG920-V21a-NOV-16-2011
Unfortunately it's been nothing but problems since then: missed SMS, ghost calls, etc. Unfortunately I'm now off the official LG path, so I can't get back. One of the difficulties in XDA is it's hard to keep up with what is going on. So I'm really not sure what to do as it seems people like me have 'missed the boat' so to speak to get this fixed, as it's hard to search and find any response about this.
My question is:
- What basebands have no known issues? eg. 21a, 21b, 20b?
- How do I downgrade/upgrade to the correct baseband? Flash KDZ?
Cheers
Leon
For what I know you have to downgrade to a 10x firmware ( with kdz or bin file ) only froyo rom seems to work properly
All Gingerbread Roms + CM Roms that used GB baseband suffer from this problem. The problem is in the new bb came with GB. So, the only solution for now is to go back to any froyo Rom.
However, the latest froyo Rom suffer from a problem, when you set wifi sleep policy to never, the phone will randomly reboot number of times a day. So, flash the one before the latest.
LG lost us all, no one is satisfaied!
you can follow this guide to upgrade/downgrade the stock rom, i used it to fix my bricked phone, it works on the downgrade too i downgraded from v21b to v21a
I'm not sure if this has been covered in another thread, but I was looking around a bit and found nothing and sorry if this isn't the correct place. I wasn't sure.
I have an LG P509(TmoUSA). Yesterday I rooted it for the first time and installed CM10 on it via ROM manager. After it successfully installed, I noticed I didn't have any signal and that my imei was missing. It said "Unknown" . On my dialer I pressed *#06# and a little box popped up with nothing in it. I switched back to stock rom using LG tools and both my imei and signal had been restored. I attempted it again but this time, I tried installed CM 7 via the ROM manager along with Google apps. The same happened. I again, restored back to stock. I attempted it a THIRD time, but, this time I did it via clockwork. I cleared cache and data and installed from zip. I installed CM 7 and CM 10 though this method. Both times my imei was gone and my signal was as well. Right now I'm sitting with stock rom and rooted.
Does anyone know what's going on? Can I not install custom roms with my phone without loosing my imei?
I think you did not upgrade your baseband, thats the only reason you are not getting signal. I cant tell about p509 but i had the same problem, but my phone is p500. You have to flash v20 baseband for new roms i.e higher then gingerbread search the forum i have a link but its for p500. Not sure if both p500 and p509 baseband are same anyway here is link for p500 baseband, just ask if both p500 and p509 baeseband are same if they are same you are good to go.

I had the same issue but with cm 9 and upgrading to the new baseband fixxed it for me
Thanks for the replies guys. I was in the process of upgrading the baseband, but I fell asleeping during the back up. I'm doing it now as we speak though. :good: I will post results.
It did work! Upgrading the baseband worked! Thanks for helping me out My IMEI and service as came back.
..and by the way, I think P500 and P509 are the same.
I got a p500h from my friend since my razr droid died and I needed something to hold me over until I can save up for the note3. It had 2.2 on it so I flashed CM 10.1 for 4.2.2. When I put my sim card in I had no service.
I checked the baseband and it was unknown so I flashed it for v.20 and it appeared but I still get no service.
I don't have gapps installed because I don't really need it.
And that's pretty much it. I can't think of anything else to try, can someone help? I'm using a non-smart phone in the meantime and it is quite terrible.
Try the old Baseband fix, that did it for me some years ago, not sure if you need the v10 baseband coming from 2.2 but the fix should work. You can find it here on the Forum.
If nothing works, use kdz to flash the Stock Rom and start over.

Thanks, I wanted to try that but when I go to download the milk_os fix at the bottom of this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14743798&postcount=2
I get redirected to some bull****(lp.downloadsetup.net)
And I just don't trust this thing, is this really what I'm suppose to download?
Is definitely the fault of baseband. Some rom is incompatible with any type of baseband. Try to download from play store an application with baseband-ril match...

Sounds like you have an old baseband phone, but you flashed a new baseband ROM on it. In that case, simply flash the zip indicated below (I suggest you mount /system in recovery before flashing, even though the script auto-mounts /system, just to be sure). I'm attaching two zips for the sake of completeness; the one you want is the Use_New_BB_ROMS.zip.
Use_New_BB_ROMS.zip -- Flash this zip if you're trying to use a new baseband ROM on a phone that uses the old baseband. If you have no network on 2.3 and above ROMS, your phone probably uses the old baseband, so this is the zip you need.
Use_Old_BB_ROMS.zip -- Flash this zip if you're trying to use an old baseband ROM on a phone that uses the new baseband. If you have no network on 2.2 and below ROMS, your phone probably uses the new baseband, so this is the zip you need.

I tried to flash it but I get an error: can't copy META-INF/com/google/android/updated-binary
Should I be wiping cache for this? Dalvik cache?
I used LGMDP-v1.5 to get bb v.20 on my phone in the first place, I tried to do the same with v.10 after v.20 didn't work but it just went back to baseband unknown. when I tried to download the milk_os fix it just linked me to some phishing page.
What recovery are you using? I've tried with AmonRa & CWM 5.0.2.0 and both work. Other CWM versions will probably work, too. Haven't tried with TWRP.
If this flashed successfully but you still don't have service, then you might have borked something when changing baseband in KDZ. If that's the case, then hopefully others will be able to help you as I've never touched KDZ myself.

I tried it, here's what happened.
First I just flashed it, I checked the baseband, it was unknown. Previously it was v.20 so I tried flashing in v.10 since this was a fix for v.10 AFAIK
Still unknown.
Tried flashing the fix again just to overwrite whatever it needed to overwrite and still unknown.
I'm back to square 1 on this one.

I was using CWM 5.0.2.0, and I've never touched KDZ.
I tried it, here's what happened.
First I just flashed it, I checked the baseband, it was unknown. Previously it was v.20 so I tried flashing in v.10 since this was a fix for v.10 AFAIK

Hi everyone,
I have just started playing with ROMS etc. and its turned my sluggish old-looking p500 into something beautiful,
The only issue is I just can't seem to get the network to work. Wifi is fine, but no service with the SIM card I put in there. I don't even get asked to put a SIM code or anything.
I have spent the last few hours desperately trying to get baseband v20 on my phone since LGMDP was not recognizing my phone, and I finally got it to work, expecting miraculous results, but alas! nothing! Anyone have any idea what I can do?
Specifically I have installed this rom: [DEV][ROM][4.4.2][CM11] KITKAT for LG-P500 [WIP][VER-12 OTA]
but have not updated through OTA yet.
And i flashed v20g using a stock version (one which didn't come with my phone). I guess I will try flashing a stock which depends on the new bb and see if that works...
Also, I don't know if this matters, but I got the phone in canada a few years ago and am now putting a UK SIM in there.
Thank you so much for any help you can give!!!! I really want to get this to work!

extra words:
Also, I deleted a bunch of stuff on my SD and know very little about how SIMs work, so if I have the "wrong kind" of SIM or if I deleted something (I have it all backed up) that I need to put back on the SD card to make this work, please let me know!
Thanks!

If baseband is correct, then check your APN ( Access Point Names ). Settings->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names.

With my old SIM, I can see the APNs from back in Canada, but when I put the new UK SIM in (which shows APNs on my wife's samsung phone) I see nothing listed for the APN.
Should I create a new APN with the same settings as from my wife's phone? Or do I have to do something else?
Does it matter wether the bb is v20c or v20g? As long as its for the optimus one I mean?
Could this have to do with my phone being locked? I'm not sure if it is locked or not... I was trying to unlock it using the code:
2945#*900#
Thanks so much for responding, I had all but given up!
but nothing happens when I put that in. Do I have to revert to stock rom for that to work?
Update:
I tried to put in the right APN info, but I couldn't save it for some reason. Doing some reasearch, I found that this might be a "Funny SIM" problem, but only see patches to fix this under CM9, and I am running CM11. Any ideas?
Cheers!

Patch may work. Old baseband patch worked thru JellyBean ( CM10 ).
What you're referring to, v20c, IS NOT baseband but software version. What version of Android was the device running when purchased? Anything under 2.3 is old baseband while 2.3 and newer is new baseband. There are two baseband patches floating around XDA. One for new and one for old. Old baseband patch can be found in my FAQ for the LG Optimus One. Post #8 I believe. FAQ

I thought I had upgraded to 2.3, but since it wasn't working I flashed the new bb using this guide :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530
and made sure that it had definitely flashed. My rom says it is baseband version V20g under the about phone section. So unless this ROM is supposed to be running the old bb (which it didn't seem like that was the case) the baseband version should be correct...
Also, I had previously tried the old bb patch which you are talking about; that didn't work either. What I understood was that "Funny SIM" is a different issue, but maybe I'm just reading the threads wrong.
Thanks again for your continued help!
Solved!
Okay, so it was because my phone was unlocked. I had to:
- Flash the stock ROM
- Flash the OLD BB
Then I was able to put in the code to get to the unlock screen. Once the phone was unlocked,
-Flash new BB
-Flash new ROM
And it works! Hooray! I'm not sure how to mark the thread as solved though?
