Install GetRIL and check the RIL against the baseband:

From Google play (You may not be able to download from Google play because your phone's IMEI is incorrect.) :

Do a ctrl-F search for GetRIL 0.9.5.2.apk on that page for the download link.

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

The reason the hidden menu can't be accessed is if you're not running a stock LG ROM or a modified ROM made from it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thehanzu:
Okay all right so I was able to get the GETRIL app install and it shows on my lg g2x that the RIL and the baseband doesn't match up. I than tried to select a few of the provided baseband that came with the GETRIL app but it still says my lg g2x's RIL and baseband doesn't match. Now I fully know that my G2X is busted for sure. Time to take it to BESTBUY and recycle it. I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP I GOT IN HERE. Thanks everyone!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You could try to reinstall one of the LG firmwares with the offline method. That may be able to ressurrect your phone. LG does fix phones out of warranty. LG can fix your phone's IMEI and flash stock LG firmware. You could take it to a place which unlocks and/or fixes phones. If they have a hardware box such as an Octopus box, they can fix your IMEI and flash the firmware. If you are fed up with the phone, don't just recycle it at Bestbuy, sell it as is. At least you'll get some money towards another phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Have you tried an NVFlash restore?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thehanzu:
If I were to just re-sell the phone as it is how much do you think I could get from it? The phone itself is in great condition. No ugly markings, no ugly nasty scratches, and no broken pieces anywhere on the phone. I already tried contacting LG service techs. and they say they can't do anything about it. So my best option would be just re-sell the darn thing besides taking it to BESTBUY and have it recycled.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Don't give up yet. Try the NVFlash restore method. I've used it successfully to restore my phone after I bricked it many times.

Unfortunately, non-working G2X phones don't sell for much. You should look on eBay auctions to determine what it will sell for. I think you may be able to get $75 or more depending what extras it has with it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thehanzu:
just got done trying the NVFlash and it still shows missing IMEI and Baseband unknown. Even though it didn't work I appreciate the help. Thanks!

Can you access the hidden menu 1809#*999#
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I found a utility, AnyCut, which can enable you to make a shortcut to the G2X Hidden Menu.

It is available at Google play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appdroid.anycut

It's also available as an apk file for direct installation here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1770622&page=2

Here's instructions (thanks to noodlev1 for the instructions which I modified):

Create the hidden menu shortcut using AnyCut:

hold finger on a home screen > select shortcut > Any Cut > Activity > scroll down till you see "HiddenMenu" select it and that's it.

Open the new HiddenMenu shortcut:

Scroll down and select "Port Setting" > enable "CP USB" and press OK

Now you can try the IMEI fix I wrote up previously that you couldn't complete because you couldn't access Hidden Menu.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
i'll bump this thread instead of making another one. i have a g2x with the unknown imei problem as well.

not sure if things have changed since you did the write-up, but "9) Access the LGE Mobile USB Modem driver through Control Panel -> Device Manager -> LGE Mobile USB Modem -> Advanced -> Advanced Port Settings" now looks to be under the diagnostics tab.

but thats neither here nor there. my problem is after i query the modem i get about 10 lines but nothing like you show. here is all that mine shows:

i've also uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and what not.

i will say that every time i got into port settings in the hidden menu after a query its ALWAYS set to ap usb. i can change it to cp usb and ok out and go back in and its the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
1. Access HiddenMenu with 1809#*999# then Port Setting and set the port to: CP USB

2. Connect your phone via usb to your computer.

3. Access Control Panel then Device Manager then Modems and click on LGE 4. Mobile USB Modem and Advanced and Advanced Port Settings and note/write down the COM Port Number

5. Access http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and download PuTTY.exe to your desktop and run it.

6. In the PuTTY Category menu, click on Session and click on the Serial radio button so it is selected and in the destination to connect to, for the Serial line, then enter the LGE USB Modem COM port number you wrote down.

7. In the Category menu, click on Logging and select All session output.

8. Give the Log file a name and use Browse to make sure it is saved to the desktop.

9. In PuTTY Configuration, at the bottom, click on Open.

10. In the terminal program, type: AT+CGSN

It should return with a number, hopefully your phone's real IMEI then OK.

Did it?

If not, you will have to resurrect your phone's IMEI by following my instructions at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942417
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
cool. i'll give it a try later today. and the link for resurrecting the imei is what i was doing to get the above info in post 14.

when i get to step 10, all i get is "error" in the terminal program when i try to type :confused:

Did you enter the AT command in the box at the bottom of the terminal proram?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
every time i go back into port setting its back to ap usb

the only time the port setting stays on cp usb is if i change it, hit ok, and go back in. if i do anything else on the computer or phone and go back in its rest to ap usb
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Select "CP USB" then check the box "Retain "CP USB" after reboot." then reboot the phone and see if "CP USB" is still selected.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
nope. reverts back to ap usb after reboot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Is your phone set up for USB debugging?

Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging (checked)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
debugging checked, retain cp usb checked, rebooted.......and reverted back to ap usb
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
The reason it gives that output and not the one like I posted is because the port is on "AP USB". If the port is on "CP USB" then it will give the other output which includes the IMEI number in the phone, whatever that is. If you don't have a stock kernel and rom installed, install them (compatible with the baseband) then set the phone to "USB debugging" and, after plugging in the USB cable into the phone and the computer, set the port to "CP USB" then access Windows Control Panel, Device Manager, Modems, LGE Mobile USB Modem, Diagnostics, Query Modem and see if your phone's IMEI appears. If you have a stock kernel and rom installed and it didn't work, reinstall them and try again. If that doesn't work, something else will have to be found that will but I don't know what that is yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
the phone is running 2.3.3 with a kernel of 2.6.32.9 and a version of v21e. also the baseband is showing unknown.

i bought the phone as it sits. it has been rooted as superuser is on it. i've tried the typical nvflash, power button/vol down to no avail.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Have you tried a KDZ flash of stock LG V21E or V21Y ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
i'll try flashing 21y tomorrow and report back here (im doing all this on my work computer and its quittin time now :laugh:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
After updating to V21Y with KDZ, if that doesn't work, try updating/repairing from LG's website. Access the G2X support page and try it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
well i can't get the phone to stay in s/w update mode to try the kdz flash.

any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
on the step

"Fourth,

Carry out the steps in adixtra's OP at http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1287236 with the V21y_00.kdz file you downloaded by selecting it from wherever you downloaded it to.

It takes about 10 minutes to complete."

i follow the instructions on the link and after i click on "upgrade start" i don't get the select language option. it opens the lg mobile support tool and sits checking for the phone communication.

Something may be wrong with the usb cable you're using or something else. Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&highlight=unbrick+phone

I know it is frustrating but it is virtually impossible to irretrievably brick the G2X so when one method doesn't work maybe another will.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
that was one of the first things i tried when i got it!

yeah i've come across very few of these that can't be fixed. but i have so many drivers/programs/files on my computer it gets confusing as to what program does what or if i have already tried it.

core, how much would you charge to fix it if i pay shipping both ways?!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
When you remove the battery, keep the volume up and down buttons pressed, and plug the phone into your computer via the USB cable and keep the buttons pressed, what happens?

I live in Canada and shipping a phone means crossing an international border with Customs involved which requires paperwork to ensure no duty and taxes are paid to Canada and back to the USA. I also couldn't gaurantee it would be fixed. Ultimately, if there's nothing wrong with the hardware, a phone store which unlocks phones with a hardware box and a special usb service cable that has a resistor in it, such as an Octopus Box, could reflash your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
my computer finds the phone. nothing happens on the phone itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
It may be a driver problem. Remove all LG related drivers then go to the LG support page for the G2X and download and install the driver:

http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
wouldn't surprise me. i have so much lg crap installed that its probably overlapping itself.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
well for as much i seem to have installed, i can only find 1 lg driver in the add/remove programs. how can i tell if i've wiped them all out?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Connect your phone to your computer with the usb cable and wait until the drivers install.

In Device Manager, look in Modems, Ports, Universal Serial Bus controllers, etc., and remove any LG drivers you find.

Reboot your computer.

Download CCleaner - the free/standard one ( http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard )- and use its Uninstall feature to uninstall anything which has LG as the Publisher, then use CCleaner's Registry cleaner and reboot your computer.

Download and install the LG drivers from LG's website.

Reboot your computer.

Plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable.

Wait until the drivers load.

Access your phone's Hidden Menu and change the Port Setting to: CP USB

Wait until the driver loads

In Device Manager, look in Modems, is the driver named: LG Mobile USB Modem

If it is, right-click on it and click on: Properties

Click on: Diagnostics

Click on: Query Modem

See if your phone's current IMEI number is listed

Is it correct, if it is, then your phone's IMEI number is OK

If it isn't correct, click on: Advanced

Click on: Advanced Port Settings

Write down the COM Port Number

Use that port number for accessing the phone to repair the IMEI number.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
just now getting around to doing this. i did everything as stated, but when i go to right click on modem, it locks up my control panel and i have to ctrl/alt/del to clear it out.

but my computer does find it as a modem when i plug it in.

also it doesn't say that my hardware is installed and ready to use until AFTER i unplug the phone. if i plug it back in i get the "usb device not recognized" pop up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Weird.

Does the phone's port stay on CP USB?

If it does, set it to CP USB, press OK, before plugging it in, then plug it in. What happens?

Is it recognized?

In Device Manager, is LGE Mobile USB Modem in Modems.

If it is, double-click on LGE Mobile USB Modem and, if it's Properties appears, continue with my instructions from before.

If it doesn't and/or the "usb device not recognized" appears, right-click on the computer symbol at the top of Device Manager and Scan for hardware changes.
