I'm trying to flash the baseband for the LG Optimus G Pro AT&T version using this file (unfortunately, I'm a new user so I can't post the URL here).

Unfortunately, it errors out during flash:

set_perm: some changes failed
E: Error in /data2/media/clockworkkmod/backup/E980_Baseband.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

What permission does it need? Does anyone have working baseband for AT&T?

Thanks

Thanks for the response. Actually, that's what I have on my phone right now but this baseband causes me to loose connectivity periodically and there's no LTE. It would be great if I can get the stock baseband. Actually, I won't mind as long as it works reliably.

Thanks

Have you changed your APN? If not, change it to ATT LTE pta if you're on AT&T.

Just re-read your first post. If it did not properly install, you can use the LG flash tool to get back to complete stock. Maybe try re downloading the modem and try flashing that before though...

Try using TWRP recovery, probably Madmack's hacked TWRP recovery

It only has one option -- "att ap.cingular". Hmm.. maybe the flash didn't work properly. I'm using clockworkmod 6.0.3.8. I don't have much experience flashing baseband but the flash went through without any issue.

I just flashed this again successfully but still getting connection dropped. The installed baseband listed is APQ8064/MDM9x15M. Is this the right version?

No. It should be BM9615A-CEFWMAZM-3.0.113012

Use CWM 6.0.4.6 or newer unless you want TWRP

So even though the flash reported successful, that doesn't seem to be the case then. I am using CWM 6.0.4.7. Any suggestion on how to get this fixed?

No, it was successful. You just flashed the wrong one. It needs to be the BM9615A-CEFWMAZM modem.

I downloaded one file that has this name: E980-MODEM-BM9615A-CWM.zip. I flashed it with both CWM and Teamwin that went through just fine but I'm still on APQ8064/MDM9x15M. I don't know why it's not flashing correctly.

I got tired of it dropping and having to remove my google account and readd it to solve the problem of PlayStore not able to download so I flashed the phone back to stock. I've tried just about every ROM out there for this phone but they're all unstable. Stock, although has some AT&T junk, still runs the best with good batery life.

Will have to wait for the next stock ROM to be released.

Don't be too hasty in forming your opinion as the KitKat Roms are way better than stock JB 4.1.2

Ya... For sure. BAM, Vanir, CandyKat, AICP, CM11 are all extremely stable. Just as stable as stock for me.
