Hey,
Im running the GT-I9100T from Vodafone on Australia, currently running MIUI 1.8.19 and wish to flash to another modem other than the KH3 currently on here as the reception is less than good.
I was hoping to find the original KF4 modem shipped with the stock firmware available from kies, but alas could not find it. I only found KF2, or KG1 and above.. I was looking at this thread :
http://www.villainrom.co.uk/forum/s...II-Shipped-Radio-Collection?p=42051#post42051
for modems but was wondering who in Australia gets the best receptions with which modem?
Cheers!
EDIT : Can the modem.bin file from the original firmware downloaded through kies that is KF4 be extracted and placed in another rom to flash? or just flash through odin/cwm?

I'm with Optus and I find KH3 to be quite good for me. If you have the modem.bin file you can flash it through CWM, but you need to make it a flashable zip.
Otherwise you might be able to put it into another rom.
EDIT: The best way to find out which modem gives you the best reception is to test them out

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but i'll go with: Yes, check out this thread. Flash the modem by putting the file in the 'Phone' section of Odin, good luck.

Thanks just the answer I was looking for.... Does it cause compatibility issues? For example KG6 modem flashed on top of KG3 modem with KG3 firmware? Or are there no issues for the most part?

No issues. However a modem that works well for me might not work well for you. The best thing to do is usually flash the latest and if that is no good, flash the latest one before that etc. until you find one that you are happy with.
Hello ,
I bought my phone from Thailand and it came with I9100TDCKF1 modem.
After flashing Cognition 1.42, the internet speed was very bad.
I tried various of solutions but non helped.
Now I want to go back and install the original modem the phone came with, which was the only one with good internet performance : I9100TDCKF1 .
But, I couldn't find it in XDA or anywhere else.
Where can I find it ?
Thanks.
P.S - The phone is I9100T and not I9100, maybe this is the reason ?

ok, so it's the full rom...
I need only the modem itself.
Is this the official rom ?
Another thing : It named by 3 modems : I9100TDCKF4_I9100TDCKF1_I9100TTHLKF1
So which of them is actually "true" ?

It's the PDA version which we mention. KF1 is your baseband/phone and KF4 PDA, so your will be said as KF4. Press *#1234# to see it.
That is the Official ROM.

You could have a look for MODEM thread with stock modems .

I dont have a link you have to look .Try the dev section for starters .
Or download full rom and extract modem yourself .

Well, the rom indeed has a modem.bin in it.
The question is how should I flash this moded.bin.
I mean, it's not a tar, which I can flash with odin...
Any ideas ?

For installing only the modem, just extract the file modem.bin from the rom and flash it through odin, by selecting "Phone" instead of "PDA".

Check out SamFirmare.com, they have just posted XXKH1 Modem, Kernel and Multi CSC. So far modem is performing well, better reception than with KG5+KG6.
Just thought I would let you know..

I've just gone into recovery mode and for some reason it says can't access to '/system/VNZ/system/'
Any idea why it says this?
Hi!
I currently have my s2 rooted and on CM9. My phone is/was the european version GT I9100. I know that region is getting the ICS update on 3/10. Can some one direct me to copies of a stock rom that will be receiving the update?
Thanks in advance!
Since you have already flsahed your phone with CM9 why not just flash the official ICS when it comes out?
Seems he want to install ics via kies

If your referring to
"(4) Customized firmware
If unofficial or customized firmware is installed in the mobile, unexpected problem can happen during upgrading"
Thats why I want to go back to stock.
They don't expect you to flash the firmware via CWM or Odin. I don't think it will be necessary to flash a stock rom first

wouldn't it be best to wait before flashing the official one through kies mate. cause you are only going to after a few days when all the custom official ones be released going to root your phone again. i was thinking the same but i am going to hold off for a while
Good luck getting official firmware updates via Kies if you're running non-stock firmware

I can think of 2 possibilities why it might not work.
-wrong CSC: find your country's CSC and change yours to match. Here and Here
your ROM must have your CSC or a Multi-CSC where your CSC is included.
-"Zombie"-ROM: A ROM patched together from different originals, e.g. a good stock kernel from one ROM with a good modem from another ROM. This shouldn't be, because you took an original from intratech's Thread. But if you want, you can also try this.
I hope this helps.

It looks like you already have an ORANGE-ROM. what exactly are you trying to do? If you want to get rid of the orange branding, what you have there looks good.

Don't you feel kinda stupid after beginning a thread with an OLD question and then having to post on that thread that you found your answer within that same forum from a thread that is stickied and out there for everybody to use
Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.
Now you can flash custom roms.

Hi KJplasma &atifsh
Thank you for the details.
can i install the below listed indian stock firmware using odin
PDA :I9100XWKE8 CSC:I9100ODDKE2
or do i need to install the firmware from UK
PDA :I9100XXKF2 CSC:MULTIOXAKF2
do i need to change the csc if i install the UK version?
Thanks
forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

I have tried to do a factory rest from the phone's privacy menu but even after everything is done,istill see some files in the gallery.
i tried the code *2767*3855# everything goes fine but i see the message "cant access to system\csc\h3g\system\" and then the phone strats as normal.
can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to
do something before i flash?
factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN
thanks for the responses.
I have upgraded to I9100XWLP7_I9100XEULP, and its working fine. the only problem seems to be its heating a bit where the camera is located . will read more topics and see why this is happening.

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

For a start, if you remember your last ROM that doesn't had heat issues, flash that modem. Doesn't matter if you use GB modem on ics.
I flashed the modem of my region xxki4 which is 2.3.5 jpkj2 and had no issues of heat in ics.
