[HOWTO] Flashing baseband (radio) via LGMDP.exe

[doktornotor]

By the way does this LGDMP.exe needs to connect to internet while flashing or can do it's work offline like kdz?

It does not connect to Internet at all. You need to have all files already downloaded.

will I be able to install this on my device?
I have the Koodo version of the LG P500, which labels itself as the LG P500h. Is that an issue? Will the new firmware install properly?

This is one of the original guides for flashing full firmware.

I think you missed out on any of these things:

1. Disabling modem
2. Msmxl installation
3. LG mobile united drivers.

Alright man, gonna try again following those instructions. Will get back

Edit: once it goes into emergency mode (yellow screen) the computer won't recognize my phone when I plug it in. I installed the universal drivers, that was the only thing i hadn't done yet. Duno what else to try...
Edit2: tried all over again on Win7, worked like a charm. Got sweet GB running on my p500

My issue lol my phone number doesn't show up any more? My phone doesn't know who I am lol, in my messages it doesn't display the standard android picture, just a grey box in my place. No contact info for me?
