did you try the .27 baseband yet ?
My Gnexi said:
Well there's an update.
golan5 got the device to LG, and useless LG flashed the
"full_mako-userdebug 4.2 LGEP19
eng.seungju24.choi.20121114.105751 test-keys"
engineering build.
His phone worked OK but since he didn't want the crappy engineering build he flashed factory images - then the problem returned: IMEI unknown.
Restoring backup (I think he backed up using CWM) did not fix the problem. So I suggested he flash the Baseband 2.0.1700.27 of that version - and now it works!
So if anyone gets no IMEI situation, try flashing that file.

Nope you can no longer downgrade to 4.3 after flashing 4.4.2 stock rom.have a nice day.
So if he flashes a 4.3 ROM via Odin, what would happen? Brick?

any opinions on trying this ? Thanks!
on youtube i saw a person using i9505 having kitkat.he downgraded from 4.4.2 to 4.3 using mobile odin. n it worked well.
as mobile odin is not supported on i9500 we cant do this.
but the important thing is that he downgraded.that means it is possible.
please devs..help us guys.please.i am fed up of kitkat n i am on the same boat to have jellybean back.
one more thing, what if we flash jellybean custom rom over kitkat.will it work ?

post the link to this video
/ I found it - nothing new - familiar things
Sometimes it is possible to downgrade, but for sure my friend, then u won't have wifi and/or sound
tapatalked by an Echoenian on old b/l without knox
What if he installs a custom 4.3 rom?
Would that work? can he install the custom rom in recovery? or that would brick the phone because of the new bootloader?

downgrade always possible but there are problems
example
sound, calls
can be fixed using a custom kernel, mods, etc.
but this did not benefit
why necessary ? 4.4.2 is better
question is downgrade and reset Knox
it is
everything else is nothing
confirmed for I9500 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686882

Hi this is a tutorial to flash Lollipop official firmware to LG L Bello
First you need to download the firmware,
Here is the list of newest firmware to LG L Bello
lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=54
Check most recent firmware
The V10 is the KITKAT version and the V20 is for the Lollipop, then there's a letter, that is little updates, download the one with the "last" letter
The D331, or D335, or D337 is the version of your phone (I own a D331 and right now there isn't a Lollipop firmware for de D331 so I have install one from the D335, and there is no problem, my smartphone works perfectly)
There is no problem installing firmware from other countries, I did it to.
Next download this files:
LG Flash Tool
mega.co.nz/#!CIVgzDKL!WJkGjVpzZQhXb4sd698VXL-DAv6sG0SLAH8QT7H90zQ
Drivers:
mega.co.nz/#!vMlRXJbb!q5DM5rmSxO-oA53yc6B9Vp3CDTZOgLbIAIyjYTTo8zY
1. Install the drivers with your phone connected with your PC, when it finishes disconnect your phone
2. Now turn your phone off, then click continuously on the up volume and connect your phone to your PC, it must be now in download mode
3. Open LG Flash Tool, In Select Type: CDMA ; PhoneMode: CS_Emergency ; Select your download firmware and click in CSE Flash
You can change your language as well
In 10-20 minutes it must be finish and you now have LOLLIPOP

The only difference between D331 to the D335, is that the D335 version is a dual-sim, and the D331 is not, the only thing is that appears that the SIM 2 is not inserted

In my experience I would recommend it, I notice it's a litter faster, the animations run smoothly, the battery before I would get 3hours/3h30 screen on time, now I get 4 hours, and you get the lollipop experience with the LG UI wich I think improve from the KitKat version.

Firstly , this thread doesn't belong here. Its in the wrong sub section of the forum.
Secondly, flash back a lollipop modem and you will get back your imei. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56103578&postcount=3
This issue has already been brought up a million times, so next time atleast spend some time researching and reading through the forum or at least use google. Thanks.

I think for starters , you should stick to kitkat. Now to get back your imei, flash this file via odin : https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs...odems And Bootloaders/I9500-XXUHOD4-MODEM.tar (since you're on stock, i assume you no longer have custom recovery)
Resolve this issue first.
