Run the program with administrator (Right click -> Run as Administrator).
It works for me in my Windows 7 (64bit).

Run without administrator will give an error can't copy rom/files (can't remember the exact message)

Just flashed.... hope this improves the battery life havnt had any problems with signal so far!.... it did a full wipe for me, to get around it though just make a nandroid backup, flash the baseband, then nandroid restore works a treat!

Hi there!

First of all, thanks for this baseband upgrade! However i have a few questions:

- The LG Drivers from this post are not the newest, is this version required or does it also works with newer versions?
- How long does the first startup take? Mine is currently on 7 minutes already...
- If you interrupt the first startup, can you brick your phone? If yes, can you restore it? (I have a nandroid backup that works perfectly)\

Thanks in advanced!

7 minutes? that doesnt sound right :/ but it has just done a wipe so theoretically its a first boot, did you do an nandroid restore after flashing the baseband?

Well basically i coulnt get to the point to flash my baseband. But it was my mistake (i think). You have to start the smartflash tool, initiate, plug in your phone with volume down, start the smart flash tool again! After 3 tries it worked!

Flashing now, can't wait

After flashing my baseband the LG logo just keep flashing on my screen... that can't be right

edit: Pressed power button and volume down and CWM loaded, so i gues it's ok now

Almost whole day without reboots, but now are back..  Too bad the new baseband, it obviously does not solve.

[moonie17]

Ah i see! i didnt have to start the smart flash tool again? it just filled up when of the COM ports when i plugged the phone in.... but when i changed to the ROM tab i had to reselect the COM port but that was all

[Higgsy]

Flashed with no problem and it didn't wipe the internal sd.

my process from fr11

Backup internal sd to PC
Nandroid via CWM
Flash the smartflash package
Boot to cwm
Restore last nandroid
Flash FR12
Reboot

[moonie17]

Just had my first random reboot, related to the new baseband maybe?

[magicmarkus]

So I tested with the new LGdriver, but smartflash can't find the right com port from LG (windows 7 32bit)

I use compatible Mod Windows XP Sp2 and Administration. but don't work for me.

What can I do to flash the new Baseband on my P990.

Press f8 on boot disable Driver Signature Check
Start smart Flash tool
Boot phone without Battery and power vol. down
Should work now
maybe you have to fill in   0 in #Channels

Worked for me!

[Mr.HTML]

Installed the baseband, it went fine, but getting a boot-loop afterwards.

The LG logo shows for 1 sec, and then blinks ...

Have tried to do a restore using CWM, not helping.

What have i done wrong?

EDIT:
Shut down the phone.
But the battary in, and it works!

Just flashed mine, Win7 x64 and its working perfectly

[dave_a]

Flashed this and FR12 last night and after taking the phone off charge around 8am and making about 20 min of calls and not much else, i am down to 52% battery which if anything is worse than the previous baseband. GPS lock is definitely quicker though and gets a lock in the middle of the office i work whereas Nexus One I had would be lucky to find 1 satellite

[amunamu]

Have you found your in-call sound quality to be any better after updating the latest baseband? I think mine is a bit better, but I have to keep the sound level at minimum and still it sounds like it's way too loud and distorting.
Is it possible to tweak the sound level somehow? Because of this, the phone is unusable and it is extremely frustrating because you simply cannot hear what the person on the other end of the line is talking about.

I get random reboots as well, usually using charging at night. I am going back to the Stock Dutch image, root it, apply the dexopt fix and see if it improves battery life.
