[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
well its possible... perhaps its Android 4.4 and their theme coloured icons?

I'm pretty sure its not, and the screen shot Sony put up was off another device running their beta update of Album.. so thats all they could muster. They don't seem to have the 'vetting' or the beta testing process of their so called UPDATES all that well sorted out..

But i've been known to be wrong before... in fact if you speak to my wife she'll have more than a word to say about that...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hsong:
Lol....I hope it is not for android 4.4...some ppl find it nice but I dont find it nice......i prefer the status bar with color tho...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Complete white status icons would be schweeet. I don't like colors on my status bar. It's "should" (IMO) be incredible minimalistic.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hsong:
Haha,but I still prefer colour,well,we have a different opinion here

Sorry for your trouble and long thread, but it took 10 mins max to do it. Don't know what guides you all are reading all over the internet.

Instead of all this, simplest is

1. Flash kdz 10x less than 1GB

2. wipe the phone

3. Root the phone

4. Use freegee to unlock and get cwm/twrp

5. Flash modem for f180

All this in 10 mins
[LG Optimus G (International)] mark_vyz:
I'm facing the same problem too. My phone went dead few days ago. Suspected on the battery problem. My wife accidently drop my phone at 1mtr height and suddenly my phone went dead.

At first i suspect softbrick. So i try to flash f180l kdz but failed due to error. After reading in thread i notice dat u cannot flash any kdz more than 1gb. So i downloaded hongkong kdz and succesfully flash my phone. But my phone still cannot switch on.

So wat i do is, i open the case and remove battery and put it back. After dat magically i can open it but no signal. So i root and then freegee and afterwards flash f180l modem.

Finally its working like charm now.:D:D
[LG Optimus G (International)] Happy_Alien:
:)

Its true as you wrote...

It looks easy and I found these steps too but:

- many KDZ links didnt work

- I wasnt sure to use freegee (and didnt try, cause there is chance of hard brick) - only CWM/TWRP without freegee and that "killed phone"

- I downloaded about 9 basebands/modems for F180 and only one has worked

- thats why I wrote it so detailed - and with own links and in the one topic :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] majamis:
If anyone could please verify edge usability on his/her rom for f180, there seems to be a special kdz / baseband which unlocks international edge on korean(f180) device. I am in dare need of edge since my gprs network signal die out, where as edge signal prevails on my other device using same sim. Or if theres some other way to unlock edge i would be thankful
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
You need to unlock bootloader for recovery.

There is a very good post here about how to extract your modem iv done that to use the latest if you don't want to use Houston's.

You see everything you need already in here, no need to go out and search and get into trouble.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Happy_Alien:

I tried FreeGee now and its OK (works fine) so I will edit the post and add FreeGee too :)

[LG Optimus G (International)] EternalChaos:
i flashed my f180l to e975 months ago..and bricked it several times..but i always find a way to restore it.

it seemed hardbricking is non existent anymore when flashing roms.

my phone is now an LS970 after flashing the miui rom..which is great.
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Just flashing modem doesn't do anything to imei. It's the other partitions that do those things.
[LG Optimus G (International)] davevinci:
Hmmm that was not my case... I lost my imei after flashing my stock modem... and many others also lost their imei after converting to e975.. U can check it out in help forums... Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] atifsh:
Never happened to me on my several phone's in 4 5 years.

It always the issue when the baseband.img is accompanied by few other files. Or if you flashed the baseband on wrong partition.

Hi has any one been able to download and flash the Indian KDZ file E97510E_00.KDZ

which is provided here

I have downloaded the file 5-6 times but i am getting error while the Flasher unpacks the file.

I have been able to flash European KDZ on my Phone but not the indian one.

Anyone faced similar problem or has any solution would be very helpful.

I have tried with my F180L it works very well, but never on F180K.

Thanks
[LG Optimus G (International)] faiq41:

Any guide how to go back to F180L because its very hard to redo after this

I am still trying to figure why Stk.apk (SIM Toolkit) not working in my device but I read some post that its a RIL related I dont know what the mean but I think it should match your ROM and your Hardware to make it work. But I stop tinkering my device now since that FreeGee incident.
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
my LGOG is an F180K variant...after flashing different versions of e975 firmwares of different countries...finally i was able to get mobile network going...i didn't need to restore efs. but its the f180L baseband i gambled and it did worked.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
Yes

Same here as my friend hpesojames. I flashed f180L variant modem after unsuccessful flash with f180k modem. Maybe We are doing something wrong? I dont have any idea -,-

Maybe we have wrong F180K modem downloaded? I dont know, I know one thing. Its working! :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
we will have to ask those who understand how the F180 modems differ from each other.
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
Hi

First what i want say is that you purchased completely WRONG mobile for your country (assuming czech rep)

your F180L WILL never get 4G/LTE signal ever because it doesn't support your bands in your country

It supports CDMA1800 (BC4), LTE850 (B5) CDMA is used in USA with sprint .. and virgin mobile in usa

LTE 850 (B5) is used some in usa but mostly in korea ..

Second i posted here long time ago guide how to convert koreans mobile to EU mobiles .. there are plenty of them now ..

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

it is restricted on purpose to NOT mix F180 L , K ,S because it would create mess btw them .. all three of these has different bands support

When bootloader detect software it verifies and check if is restricted .. LG didn't include E975 (and other E75x) to restriction that is WHY we can convert our korean LG mobiles ..

but when u convert phone software it flashes its radio and then there is no signal so then the phone needs original radio back ..
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
So tell me / us. Why if we flash F180k modem, network is still not avaible. Please answer.

Thanks

Wysłane z mojego LG-E975
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
please be more specific there are more circumstances involved what isn't working for you?

For example I have F180S and converted to E97510B but when I've tried flash E97510B flash software threw me error

couldn't update from unknown reason .. some these speculations with phones and software cannot be explained

maybe technicians at LG might give you an answer ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
My GPS is not working because of L variant modem flashed, LTE doesnt work, radio to listen music too. LG technicians? I rooted phone, i unlocked bootloader and they will help?
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
I have F180k converted to E975... Not f180L
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
oh sorry but u said this

''My GPS is not working because of L variant modem flashed, LTE doesnt work, radio to listen music too''

so i thought u have L version..
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
I flashed L modem because K didnt work..
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
hmm check this link : http://www.cellrabta.pk/2013/10/how-to-convert-f180-skl-to-e975-lg-optimus-g/

and downl. modems first try F180K : F180K20B_00.kdz

and try even this : http://downloads.codefi.re/houstonn/lgog/modem
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
How would you expect the FM radio (if that's what you meant by "radio to listen music") to work on the phone that has no hardware for it?
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:

Why flash F180k kdz?
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
I am trying to find diagram one guy posted to me once picture of optimus G models and all tuners inside the phone but cant find it ..

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

because if u have F180K and u flashed E975 software it auto flashes E975 modem so then u ends up with no signal so u need K version modem back to correspond software with hardware
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
Just saying that this is not a problem with the modem or the ROM... F180x don't have FM radio built in.
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
instead of FM tuner they have they own korean TV tuner built in .. which works only in korea .. same like freeview in uk
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
I dont't mind of the FM Radio tuner because initially, F180's really don't have the hardware for this. Besides, I prefer listening to MP3 because I can choose what to listen to.

But the issue here is why on earth is our F180Ks (mine & [MENTION=4954311]BartxGamer[/MENTION]), considering also the fact that we live half of the world apart, don't have mobile network on our converted E975 after flashing F180K modems?

But out of curiosity, I tried flashing the baseband for F180L attached in this thread & miraculously it worked.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I have no answer to this question, sorry... But reading about all such problems was exactly what made me NOT to use the most common conversion method, and stray off the beaten path a bit... Rooted my F180S, unlocked the BL, installed CWM, flashed the E975 ROM from recovery. Done.
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
but how do we extract a flashable zip from the kdz file is another obstacle. i've done some google-ing but to no avail.
[LG Optimus G (International)] kt-Froggy:
I didn't. I flashed the stock-based Epsilon ROM. Later also tried SAVVY, and ended up with the tweaked stock ROM (link in my signature) from the same dev who made the Epsilon, with the custom kernel (Viper ZVC).

BTW, there was a way back in the days to extract KDZ files and make flashable zips. I remember doing that for Optimus 2X, and the tool, if I am not mistaken, was originally made for Optimus Black.
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
ok maybe i'll give it a shot then.
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
go to original as when u purchased phone orig f180k kdz and see if u have signal
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
yes i do have signal...i just can't run a certain MMI code needed for my network carrier. but now on E975 MMI Code works.
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
How to explain it. Why F180L modem works on f180k and not f180k modem...
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
put mobile back to original as u received it from korea and try signal
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
Man... I dont need to come back. I have signal, i just dont know how to flash F180k modem!
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:

once u downl first link put it in folder and then copy next downl. file into folder that will be your modem

there is tutorial in that zip file
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
Where is tutorial...? In zip you said... I can see kdz and B2C setup...
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
come oon u cant read files? there is modem-flash.bat open and there will be instructions
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
I can see kdz file which is 1Gb and B2C setup manager to download on these pages...
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
sorry wrong link here is K baseband : https://mega.co.nz/#!AEAQBbrZ!Twfb6iTXj51rzI5ayR2vMCN4ouAWdyh0b23IkbBRJXM

but first u need root phone and after rooting u need flash baseband if u rooted just proceed

and here is zip file : http://www.sendspace.com/file/rrxo6i

then unpack and put baseband init

and run that bat file
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:
You think it will work? I dont want to crash my phone -.-
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
aah sorry can u see that sendspace link ? please ignore that use just that first link

i just realised that in whole zip is modem included .. that sendspace link is for mine 180S version

download that first link and unzip and run bat file and u good to go
[LG Optimus G (International)] BartxGamer:

Original phone from Olleh, it supported LTE. After installing L modem i havent LTE more...
[LG Optimus G (International)] GalaxySIIII:
downl mine S
[LG Optimus G (International)] hpesojames:
fact is....

we both have F180K's (me & [MENTION=4954311]BartxGamer[/MENTION]), we also have factory installed F180K20O.kdz.

then flashed E975 fw.

flashed F180K modem (no network signal).

flashed F180L modem (network signal up).

no need for EFS restoration as my IMEI wasn't lost.

after having success with the above conversion to E975, I asked [MENTION=4954311]BartxGamer[/MENTION] if he could also try the same steps & see if we both got the same results. because I also told him that euro open fw & euro common fw is also working with mine as long as F180L modem is flashed. btw, I flashed E97510F fw.

Hey,I have a question,I have converted my f180l using another simple tutorial and I have only root acces and I don't have cwm/twrp and I think my bootloader is not unlocked....so my question is,if I will use freegee to install cwm,then,I will be able to install any rom for e975 and the signal will work? or I will need to do some more steps to make it work?

ps: will my phone still be e975 or it will transform back to f180l?

ok as a newbie i cant figure out how to back up modem using adb... but after reading stuff what i did :

downloaded "Android Terminal Emulator" from playstore

open emulator in phone wrote

su

dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.img

after some seconds this came out :

131072+0 records in

131072+0 records out

67108864 bytes transferred in 15.229 secs

then :

exit

exit

after that i checked sdcard but there was no img file...

then i open file manager from the phone and there it was my precious :laugh:

size = 64mb... is it normal?

anyway .. made a new folder "modem" copied the img file into modem folder (using file manger) again connected the phone to pc copied the modem folder on my desktop...

hope it will help new guys here like me :)
