I'm pretty sure that it will be new.
I got a question about flashing a modem on my phone.
was bought in India but now i live in Israel.
I'm not sure if I'm suppose to flash the KF2 Modem or another one?
its suppose to change the whole battery situation if you have the right one, right?
anyone had to face with this? Does it actually have a difference?
Also what if i flash my phone with the KF2 while the phone is suppose to have another firm?will it be a battery\reception problem?

Hey guys. I recently rooted my galaxy s2 (Vodafone UK White) using the method of flashing an insecure kernel, then using one click root. My original kernel was I believe i9100BUKI1, I couldn't find the exact insecure version so I flashed i9100BUKE1. I didn't think to backup my original one so I was stuck with flashing back the secure version of i9100BUKE1. The problem I have is that now my phone has washed out colours on the screen and the battery life is shocking.
Is there any place I can get hold of the original kernel that shipped with my phone?
Thanks.
Why kernel ??? not firmware to clear the problem#
KI1 firmware and kernel below

Will that flash the right kernel along with the firmware?
If you flash XX1 firmware it always has XX1 kernel .

I really think I need to have the right firmware. With the stock one my phone randomly turns off and on again. Is there anywhere I can get the BUKI firmware or kernel, I cannot find it anywhere.
I'm also having problems with a washed out screen. I rooted my s2, and noticed that the screen became really washed out, particularly noticeable on the camera and on video playback. It was originally kernel xwkdd. I decided to unroot it and went back to a samsung repair shop. They tried fixing it but it did not work. He now told me that he was waiting for the white s2 screens to come, he would try replace that and if that did not work, then he would send it into samsung. The kernel version is now xwkd6 which i've never heard of or seen on the internet. (for insecure and secure kernels) Shall I try fiddling around or just be patient and get samsung to replace it? If i were to try something, can you tell me what to do? Thanks
I think the only way I can fix mine is by getting the original firmware that I had. I cannot find it anywhere on the internet though. I really need someone to post the kernel or a backup of there rom. Please can someone do this for me?

I have tried all these firmware already, the colours are either washed out, or the phone just restarts constantly. I really don't understand how no one has ever posted this firmware. If you google it, people talk about it but it is no where to be downloaded. It needs the be the BUKI one, not the BUKE or BUKG ones. Definitley not the XX ones.
Please someone post this
just flash one of the ealier one from here and then update via kies to see if you get it back.

I have tried every unbranded and every vodafone firmware now, and all of them have obscure results with my phone.
There must be another unlisted version??
Are you sure it's "washed out" Can you get pics? maybe it's a coincidental hardware fault? I mean.. It should work?
Have you tried fiddling with the display settings? There are various DNIE modes that could be the cause.

I know that passed 6 months,I have the white SGSII Vodafone Spain stock.I have the BUKI1 version.How can I make a Backup of stock ROM and kernel if something goes wrong with rooting and installation of custom ROMS?Can somebody tell me how to backup and I will upload the stock version for this phone.
LE:This is my phone version and I think is the same as the owner of this post:

Cheers to be honest i'm not very good with forums, really need to sort it out lol
Quick question, how do i tell which version i need to go back to?
All i did to my phone once i got it was root it usin odin and supeoneclick. Downloaded was described i believe as an insecure version of samsungs generic rom named XWKDD?
Need to un-root my phone and get it back into a state where they won't know i ever did anything to the software lol
I just received an S3 ordered via an established eBay seller.
However, the seller neglected to state that the S3 is Polish - instructions and some box text is in Polish.
Is this ok or am I likely to experience any oddities? Do I have the correct firmware that I want/need for regular UK use?
As yet unopened.

Yes it's fine and in fact you get the official JB update without doing anything except doing it OTA.
You may need to enter your network settings manually is about all .

And that is easily fixed by flashing the latest UK ROM (doesn't increase counter) and changing the CSC code to your region (BTU), App on the appstore and requires no root.
So basically yeah it will work 100%.
I was on the verge of keeping this phone, but I just bought a new Three UK monthly rolling sim today and I am getting download speeds of around 100Kbps and poor vice call quality. I don't know whether that is just Three but the data is way too slow. Could this be because of the modem software on board?

Skander, could you point me to those things please? Would changing the CSC do anything to help me? Whilst that may not reque root, I guess flashing a UK rom would, right?
Flashing from 1 stock Rom to another does not require root and is done by Odin

Yes it could be the modem. Here is a full modem list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061
You flash them with odin. Make sure to get 4.1.1 modems if you have updated to JB. The csc includes things like apps from three, and won't effect your download speeds.
I would recommend watching the youtube video on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610
This will give you a better grasp on what is what
Ugh, confusing. So, grab the 4.1.1 package download and flash that? Thigh the thread doesn't say, it should contain some Three stuff?
I'm on the verge of just returning the Polish phone and having the seller mail a UK handset or refund entirely rather than messing rand.
Thanks for the tips.

Have you noticed the "Roll up sticky thread" in the general forum? The noob friendly flashing guide is a great place to start.
The csc is not needed at all, and most would be happier without it.
There is no hardware difference between a polish and british handset. A few hours to get used to flashing and you can get a fine working S3. This includes JB, ICS, polish csc, british csc, modems etc exactly to your tastes.
I had rooted and flashed before with my S and S2, but kinda wanted to start my S3 life in its virgin state.
Though I had been attributing the horribly poor call quality on my S2 to my network this year, it may even be down to whatever I've flashed on to it.
More JB rolling out now i would wait for the correct one for your phone .

Have returned the unexpectedly-Polish handset to seller and expect a proper UK replacement. If not, I'll set my mother on them.

the best modem is the one that works best in your region with your provider
I guess you will be able to find some recommendations in the modem collection thread as it lists all modems for all regions, hence try them and see
edit: here you go
in addition, next time please post on correct thread or section (Q&A)
You will eventually come across the best modem after you've tried every modem there is and then asking yourself which one worked best for you. FOR. YOU.
I have an S3 i9305 4g lte version, on orange network uk. I rooted the phone using CWM. Then installed the Panorama ROM, using the guide on here. And yes i have used the search function, followed pretty much every guide there is. Still no solution. Im beginning to think my phone will forever be caught up with this problem
on top of there being no service. The phone itself has started to randomly turn off, and also lags!
I regret rooting lol just wasn't meant to be.
Can anyone help me? Literally, I would be so grateful if someone can actually help me fix this problem. I basically just want my network service back, regardless of unrooting or not.
Thanks a million in advance!

Don't let one unsuitable ROM tarnish your experience Try flashing a different modem.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061
Also, if you're unhappy with the ROM, flash another one. Plenty of good roms out there.

I'm no modem expert, but search based on your region http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356325
Try different ones to see which one works best for you. Also search those threads for your network/region to see what other people are using.
Does your IMEI match the one under the battery?
Do you have an EFS backup?
Also, this is a section for the i9300

i think the problem is with the fact i dont have an efs folder, and that there is no back up either. There is no baseband number on the status, and also no imei is showing.
What do i do?
