Can cm11 be flashed on f180 and 3g and EDGE still work? Had anyone done it? From what I have read on this thread, it seems Korean phones have serious issues with 3g or EDGE or both
EDGE will not work on f180, does not matter which rom you install. However, 3g works fine on all roms, no issue. If CM11 is for LG e975, then it is better to flash e975KDZ first and then install CM11. After flashing e975kdz or cm11, you need to flash baseband of your f180 - L, S or K whatever you have. Without flashing baseband, you might not get network.

Note to all, getting EDGE/3G to work on Korean phones is tough work. Requires knowledge about rooting, flashing etc so do not attempt if you're a noob.

Okay... That clarifies something.... No EDGE on f180 whatever you do... This is a serious shortcoming, at least for me till the time whole of Pakistan gets 3g coverage :)

It is serious shortcoming for many but you just cant beat the price of these monsters :p 3G works perfect and gprs no EDGE and there is no explanation about that either.

My phone was working fine, installed carbon ROM and baseband gone, like its accepting sim but says searching for network. Somebody suggest me a baseband for my phone, F180S. I would be real helpful, thanks.

Can anyone please tell me where I can get my LG Optimus G updated to KitKat (E975 version) in Karachi? Its a F180L but I had it converted to E975 (JellyBean) by someone in another city but now I want KitKat. I don't want to do it myself and risk screwing the phone.
...Anyone?

Download file from above link and copy in your phone via PC. Then boot into recovery and choose install zip from sd card. Then select that baseband zip you copied, confirm OK to install with power button... use volume key for up and down movement. It will be installed in few seconds... then restart your set. You are done.

Salam guys, I have S3 SHV 210S , it's on Android 4.3.. how can I root it?
Download the CF Auto Root from the opening post.
Then your phone will reboot, but KNOX will be an ass. Go to Play Store, update SuperSU to the latest version, download Titanium Backup, remove KNOX apps.
I don't remember the exact apps you need to remove but I made a tutorial on how to do it a while back, link of that is in the OP as well.
Good luck.

Tried your method, still no success, I can see superuser icon but Knox blocks it immediately and it FCs, I get security breach notification

FC even after updated app?
It's actually not allowing to open superSU, the moment I open, it FCs immediately, there were methods to install via recover but it's not even allowing to flash any custom recovery, it shows success dialogue and download mode shows Peres but on reboot it won't enter recovery

So you flashed the CF-Root through Odin, right?

Get the .apk of the latest version of SuperSU from the internet and install it on your phone. Clear Data and Cache of SuperSU from settings, reboot and try again.
KNOX normally shouldn't interfere this much.

What happened on my first try was that I flashed CF-Root via Odin, the phone rebooted with SuperSU and I opened it and it FC'ed.
A popup window came up saying 'SuperSU has detected KNOX, disable?'
I pressed Cancel.
I went to Play Store, updated SuperSU, restarted the phone.
I still ignored the popup window, I downloaded Titanium Backup and removed all the KNOX related apps.
Restarted again and SuperSU was working fine.

I am using TDK's handfree, got it for Rs. 350 and its sound is great. Simple 80 Rs wali handsfree will also work if you pull out the pin and separate mic and air buds portion. Mic creates problem and causes incompatibility.

Does the mic work on the tdk?
How's the sound quality?

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.
