Every time I try to flash a different modem, IE XXKG3, XXKG2, XXKG1, XXKF2, XXKF1; it tells me PHONE: Unknown in *#1234# XXKE4 and lesser seem to work just fine. I have had this issue on stock 2.3.3, and now with the latest lightningrom3.2(XXKG2) it is the same. Can anyone help me fix this, or offer insight into what the deal is?

Bump looks as you are only one with the problem .
Wrong flash wrong whatever totally wipe phone and start again only suggestion.
Phones get confused with multiple flashes with bits left behind is my experience .

I have wiped and re-flashed 5 times minimum. Some of those with PIT. I guess ill give it another shot, I don't mind setting everything up again(and again...).
I re-flashed another 5 times. Still not working, I will just go back to my working setup and live with it. Unless anyone else can help.
I re-flashed another 5 times.
As i posted multiple flashes f*** phone .
Connect in mass storage mode format phone through windows .
Recovery mode mounts and settings format data sytem sd card .
Recovery wipe dalvik cache wipe cache factory reset .
Blank phone via Odin install stock firmware not 2.3.4 .
jje
So you are saying, to mount in windows, format my usb storage, then perform a factory reset on the phone? Reflash the stock firmware.
Then I can flash the KG3?
Formatted the usb storage partition VIA windows, with CWM wiped data, wiped cache, wiped davlik, formatted everything else.
Re-flashing stock.
I am doing the format then I will wipe everything again. Then install LightningROM 4.1 Is this as you meant?
After all that still did not work.
I meant wipe and install a stock rom with a later modem than KE4 NOT A CUSTOM ROM .
Have you actually flashed a modem by itself .
Does your custom rom actually contain a modem .
jje
Ok, I will try that tonight, an XXKF2 rom. I have tried to flash modems by themselves, the way I get the modem to be XXKE4 while using lightning rom(XXKG3) is by flashing only a modem. Yes the LR4.1 Contains the KG3 modem.
So, I had KF2 recognized, and I saw service for about 5 seconds, then it went away didnt come back, so I am trying other ROMS. At least it was recognized. Thanks
Now I have it recognizing KG3, but not recognizing my sim, with KF2, it got my phone number and such, then disconnected never connecting again
So with the official higher than KE4 modems, they are now recognized, but no network. Is there anything more I can do?
I got an unbranded galaxy s2.
Specifications are:
baseband I9100UHKE2
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100UHKE2-CL188078'[email protected] #2
Build GINGERBREAD.UHKE2
pda/phone: I9100UHKE2
CSC: I9100UUBKD1
Have tried wipe from settings menu, from stock recovery menu, and by typing *2767*3855#.
Any thoughts on what else to try?
As an aside, I would like to root this rom as well. Would rooting with CF-root help the cause? Or do I need to reflash my UHKE2 rom?
Also, I can't find a CSC file BKD1. What to use for that?
Thanks!!
hi there
if you're going to root it anyways - it will definitly solve your problem.
once you're rooted you can simply install "ClockWork Recovery Mod" from legit android market.
There are tons of rooting guides, simply take one and do it.
Out of CW recovery, it will work 100%.
so long, good luck.
Thanks. Any other ways to 'wipe' a phone?
Connect to PC mass storage mode and Format phone ..
Full format is via CWM recovery mounts and storage .
Why you want to wipe a phone is your choice but it will not boot if wiped as you have wiped the OS .
jje
well i just want to get it back in the out of box shape! not wipe the entire os.
Question is wrong then wipe is wipe .
How do i restore to stock .
but this has to wipe the current OS and replace it with what you flash .

and then it skips it, can anyone tell me how to fix this problem so i can start a fresh with a nice clean and empty galaxy
What system do you have? ics or ginbread...?
Question = wrong forum.

my apologies, i havent used the forum much as the phone has been fine for about 6 months, its now on checkroms v6 which i managed to flash onto it with a bit of fiddling, thinking that may solve some of my issues but it didnt. thats when i noticed this error when doing a few resets.
JJEgan, gonna follow your steps now buddy, thanks and fingers crossed
its a no go, it wont let me format or mount the sdcard
try factory reset from phone menu,
try another kernel to get another version of CWM, eg: Siyah
hiya zac, well i have the phone in download mode connected to odin, im using the link in your sig, and downloading the stock firmare and kernal, will it matter if i didnt wipe the sdcard before flashing these two items with odin? surely i can do it after?
upto you to try.....
cant guarantee since dont know what weird problem has got with your SD card which
dont allow you to wipe,
you can also try flashing another custom kernel first,
When you flash a stock firmware it already contains a Kernel, no need to flash seperately..
any chance to a quick link to a kernal to try and a guide!
its been a while since iv done this! haha
which rom are you currently on?? ICS or GB
checkrom v6 i do believe
GB CWM flash : http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14-CWM.zip
Checkrom is GB version,
but makesure, from settings/about phone
i will bud, and i flash that kernal, with odin?
no this is CWM flashable, put on SDcard, and flash from CWM,
top man, off to have a go now
if CWM flash fails, you can try from ODIN
ODIN flash :http://gokhanmoral.desean.net/siyahkernel/v2.6/Siyah-v2.6.14.tar
select the file from PDA of Odin,

Unless you have a external sdcard, this problem is self explanatory!
Can anyone link to a guide about restoring my SGS2 to factory settings? I've moved to a Galaxy Nexus and will sell my SGS2 with Envirofone, of the mobile recycling companies.
Much appreciated!
Questions belong in the Q&A section!
Also, the information on how to restore your phone to factory defaults is covered by the user manual and does not require xda-developers.
if you are on a stock rom, unrooted, just go through the settings menu and somewhere in location and security (i believe) you should find what you are looking for. make sure to also format the internal sd card.
For Android ICS
Settings> Backup and Reset > Factory Data reset
Settings> Storage> Erase USB storage
Settings> Storage> Erase SD card
Assuming you have CWM/Recovery installed, format cache, data, system, & internal sd card in Recovery, flash stock rom in Odin then reset flash counter. Done.
If you don't have CWM/Recovery & not rooted, do as Chef Tony said (definitely not an XDA thing if you're not the sort of person who tinkers with the phone/doesn't root or run non-stock firmware).

Sorry I was not clear. I have one of the nightly CM 4.0.4 builds so it will be the former option. Can I reset the flash counter in Odin, and will the Odin flash also remove CWM and reinstall the stock kernel?
Thanks
Can you reset the flash counter in/with Odin ? Um, no
To reset the flash counter, you need Triangle Away if you're running ICS bootloaders, or a jig if you're running the old bootloader. Now that I think of it, if you're running ICS bootloaders, reset the flash counter with Triangle Away first, before you format everything in CWM & before you flash a stock rom as it requires root. Flashing the stock rom in Odin won't affect the flash counter.
Doing all those formats in CWM before you flash the stock rom will remove root (and everything else). When you flash a stock rom in Odin it will include a stock kernel.

Thanks. Didn't know about Triangle Away, great app. Wiped everything in CWM, and then tried to restore two separate 4.0.3 images found here. Both times Odin finished fine, but after reboot the phone doesn't progress past the animated "S". Any ideas?

That, gentlemen, did it. Used the Open Europe firmware listed here and the instructions here. Many thanks for the help - off to enjoy JB on the Nexus now.
Hi, do you know which files left after flashing another stock rom into device? No matter system file or any type of any other file. What is the thing that flashing cannot change in device?
and
if there is, is it possible to reset ALL?
Flashing a stock rom will replace system files; files like music and videos etc should stay on the internal storage.
If you want to clear all items off your phone then you should:
1. Format the internal storage, can be done through Settings on the device
2. A factory reset from the recovery menu.
3. Clear Dalvik Cache if your recovery menu allows the option.
Edit: Some stock roms do not have modem files etc, if the stock rom you are about to flash does not have a modem file then the original modem file will remain.

When I flashed my stock ICS, the internal memory was formatted :silly: , so copy your stuff to sd card and remember to remove it before flashing :good:
Flashing a zip from recovery is not going to format anything, if you do not tell it to. However if you flash a custom rom it may not boot if you have not wiped your data.

Not sure if it's Android version related but have flashed stock firmwares before and have had photos (not in DCIM) remain on the phone.
Still, common sense to take anything off the phone that you want before clearing it down.
Thank you for replies,
I asked it because after I flashed a stock rom into my device, for awhile later system status changed from normal to modified although i didn't root or anything else to effect system. I think there are some files left after flashing and it causes my system to realize there are something changed. What I have to do to turn my device into never used status?

You need to use Triangle Away, here's the link to the original thread - [root] Triangle Away
Worked for me
Oops, this is the thread that I meant! - [2012.11.08][ROOT] TriangleAway v2.36

I flashed Wanamlite 3.7 custom rom and then went to I9300XXBLG8 (4.0.4 so I could officially update to JB). Before flashing I9300XXBLG8 I used Triangle Away and then flashed the firmware.
There's a warning on the page that some firmwares will not reset.
I wrote a little guide on another forum for restoring the warranty on an S3, may help?
1) Carry out the usual procedures such as backing up anything you want to keep, contacts, sms, data etc.
2) Install and run Triangle Away on your device (please read the XDA thread and take note of the 'in app' warnings.
3) Once Triangle Away application has been used the phone will reboot. Turn off the phone and go into download mode, check the statuses say 'No' & 'Official'.
4) While in Download Mode boot straight into to Recovery Mode and Wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache.
5) Put the phone into download mode.
6) Extract the Stock Firmware so that you have a .MD5 file.
7) Open Odin and click on the PDA field and select the .MD5 file. Leave all other options alone.
8) Plug the phone in using USB cable, wait for yellow 'com port' to appear and hit start.
9) Leave the PC and phone alone until the process has finished and the phone has fully booted.
Your phone should now have a valid warranty but we should check a few things to make sure this is the case.
Check your firmware is the same as the firmware you have downloaded:
Dial *#1234# to bring up the firmware version. If your CSC is incorrect then we will need to change this.
To change your CSC you will need your IMEI number.
Dial *#06# and note down the 15 digit number on a piece paper.
Dial *#272*yourIMEI# and install your relevant CSC (I'm in the UK and Network Unlocked so my CSC = BTU). Your phone will factory reset and reboot.
Your phone is pretty much ready now. If you wish to send off your phone for repair or any other reason that may require the warranty to be valid then continue on to make sure there is no sign of tampering with the phone.
Once the phone has booted up, format the internal storage from Menu > Settings > Storage > Format SD card
If you wish you can then connect the phone to Samsung Kies on the PC and check for any updates.
Double check that both the Binary Counters have been reset.
Your phone now has a valid warranty with Samsung.
Thank you very much for this guide, I will apply all the steps one by one. But before to begin I have a couple questions:
* I don't have anything about "Dalvik Cache" in my recovery menu, is this a problem?
* I dialed *#1234#, and it says:
AP: I9300XXDLJ4
CP: I9300XXDLID
CSC: I9300OXADLJ4 something wrong?
* I'm living in austria and was using austria rom, but flashed official UK (BTU) stock rom via Odin and it is still current rom in my device. But I've found a CSC included BTU stock rom too in this forum. If I flash it, is the all gonna be fixed, maybe?

No not a problem at all, the Dalvik Cache relates to installed apps and is just another step to ensure a complete wipe.
The option to wipe Dalvik Cache is usually found in CWM recovery, so if no CWM is installed then you are unable to do so.
Thank you for the info, so nothing to worry about Dalvik thing. Do you know something about my other two question too?

1. The firmware shouldn't be a problem, it's for the UK S3 but the modem is European...your phone is network unlocked isn't it?
2. It shouldn't be a problem and if you do encounter problems then I would jut flash the LJ4 firmware again.
I was searching about it right now. And I realized that my phone was network locked. I used an app called GalaxSim Unlock and now it is unlocked

Step 3 was succesfully. But after I did 4th and came back into download mode, counter was 1 and status was custom. That's why I had to do all once again and this time skipped the 4th step. So I flashed the stock rom without wiping data, cache and dalvik cache. Does it make a problem?

Not sure if the firmware LJ4 is giving you the problem but you could try flashing I9300XXBLG8 and then updating through Kies to LJ4?
