I was looking at samfirmware today and noticed this file S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830XEUKP1.
I already have S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830OXXKP7 installed. I am based in UK and use Orange.
It is a one package item and I was wondering which one should I be using.
Both are dated july 13, and hence my confusion?
I am also on ORANGE UK and i have tryed S5830XXKPH & S5830XXKPJ and for some reason on both i am unable to send text messages while using 3G/H network but can with G/E network but can always receive text..
I am yet to try S5830XWKPKN with CSC:S5830OXXKP7.
I will be trying the OXX CSC as the froyo that was pre-installed was using a OXX CSC..
So hopfully it will fix my problem..
I had no issues with S5830XWKPKN with CSC:S5830OXXKP7 for texting 3g/H or E/G but the initial language when installed defaulted Spanish If I remember correctly.
The XEU version is UK specific and Im not sure if it different apart from that - But I have decided to install it anyway and create a nandroid. If I have problems I can nandroid back to XXXKP7.
Good luck in your endeavours and I will post if I have issues.
Text messaging is working fine with the S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830XEUKP1 file. 3G appear more efficient and signal quality is a LOT better. Shall be using this version of the two files.
Hope this helps.
What confused me even more with my issue is that i try my partners O2 sim and there was no textong problem i thn tryed my dads ORANG UK sim and the issue was back.. So teading that you are having no problems with text i will try this software.. One question i do have is the file i got from samfirmware was a onepackage flash file..
Can you please tell me were you got your flash files and what version of odin you used to flash yours to KPKN..
THANK YOU..
got it from samfirmware.com today - just happened to notice the second KPN file near the bottom of the list.
Both are one package files.
I used Odin4.38 and then
1. Selected copper_v1.00.ops as the OPS file.
2. Ticked the one package button to the left of the OPS selection. This ungrays the one package button at the bottom of the list.
3. Selected the one package button and browsed to the tar file of the download.
4. Put the phone into download mode using Power, Menu and bottom of volume button.
5. When the phone boots up with the yellow download text - connect the USB cable - this should cause the first sqaure at the top to turn yellow and report a com port number.
6. Only when you have a yellow square and com port - then press start.
The phone will download the software and about halfway through the download the phone will restart - DO NOT UNPLUG IT - let the phone boot up and only unplug it when the yellow square has turned BLUE and post the word PASS.
If you try to unplug before the PASS flag - you will probably brick the phone.
The whole process took about 6 minutes on my setup.
Sorry for been detailed - but I dont know your experience level and did not wish you to damage your phone.
I have just flashed S5830XWKPN_S5830XWKP6_S5830XEUKP1 and my text problem still haunts me..
I can still send with G/E..
But not with 3G/H..
And i can still receive on both??
Gonna try flashing the csc from the froyo it came with, but using all othe gingerbread files..
This is strange - my phone is unlocked, Im assuming yours is because u tried your GF O2 sim.
Im on monthly racoon with internet package add on. Could it be a Orange setting issue?
Yeah i got my phone from phones4u..
I have had them send me the latest settings to my sim..
I spoke to orange today and that stated all there sims are the same its whats on there system thats different so im so confuzed..
I thought it migh be the age of the sim but its only a few months old.. Gonna get orange to send me a new one anyway just incase..
Ill let you no what happends..

Hello,
After searching about 10 pages & search engine i haven't find exactly same problem as mine but i think i'm not the only one who had this problem...
I saw that all guys having same problem as me have an IMEI problem with a file on /efs, which is not my case for the IMEI
Problem : no phone, no sms, all data is OK. is someone calls me it rings busy.
Here's what i tried
- My SIM on another S2 = everything OK, the other S2 sim on my phone gives same problem.
- Many ROMs official or non official (also a release using pit+pda+phone+csc), without solving my problem
- Using the appli GSII_Repair but i can' t download (message appears 2mins after click on install, from PC or from market)
- Phone is operator free and with no signal problem.
- At the moment i just put an official rom (nothing more) with baseband i9100xxki3, kernel 2.6.35.[email protected] #2, Version number gingerbread.xxki3. Network State=Connected, IMEI= same as behind battery, IMEISV=01
I bought the phone to someone living 150km from me and when i wanted to test it...i locked my SIM (and no puk code with me) so i bought it for not having done the 300km for nothing...and i can't use it since a week i'm trying & reading things everywhere on the net but i think here is the best place, great members, great place, and great roms i used on my HD2 before the USB connector broke. The guy to wich i bought the phone kept it a month and have no idea to what has been done the phone
So help needed....Thanks

Have you already tried to do a factory reset?
Shut down the phone, reboot into recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power, hold the keys until the recovery menu appears), choose factory reset and then reboot the phone.
If that does not help, you could try to flash a newer stock ROM, such as XWKJ3.
Have a look at Intratech's Official Firmware thread here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
If that does not help either, it could be a hardware issue.
Hope that it is not.
Good luck !
I already have done both, and i just have done the 2 things again just in cas
Factory reset => still having problem
XWKJ3 => i'm getting permanently a message like com.android.phone crashed, i now remember why i changed for an older ROM
Sounds like flashing many roms syndrome .
Also the no no of using PIT files .
Suggestion
Download full stock rom .
Backup all data .
Go to recovery Mounts and storage Format > Cache System Data > SD Card .
No boot now clean empty phone .
Download mode and via Odin flash stock rom .
Test if still faulty return under warranty .
jje
I dont want to be a negative ned and throw a spanner in the works here but if the IMEI is intact and the phone was bought second hand(and no offence with what im about to say) but is it possible that the IMEI has been blocked cos yourve unknowingly bought a stolen phoneIt just seems strange that only calls and sms are blocked with the IMEI no being changed.Sorry if ive miss understood the question.No offence intended.
Hi folks,
i'm and european (german) with an prepaid, simlock-free net-free SG2 device.
At the moment i am in New York City. First - everything was alright. Only GPS Signal couldn't be found, i downloaded much stuff - cleared A-GPS - nothing worked for me. So i tried to flash another Kernel.
Problem - i'm on a Mac. I did it with Heimdall and this instruction: http://galaxys2root.com/galaxy-s2-root/how-to-root-att-galaxy-s2-on-mac-or-linux-sgh-i777/
After that (worked) - GPS also worked - but my Home-Button now is like "dead". It doesn't react. No Hardware issue. It must be the kernel i flashed to it. I tried to flash another kernel with the same command :
sudo heimdall flash --kernel zImage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but the second time flashing a kernel didn't work for me.
the boot screen now has a yellow sign with an "!" in it.
So i chose a "Hard reset" in the Privacy Settings of Android 2.3.4.
Now my Home-Button doesn't work and i can't step through the initial android setup process .... because my Home-Button doesn't work.
How do i fix this? Please help me! I'm on vacation and i need the GPS later for Florida trip with car.
Tell me how i can read out Kernel / Firmware / Baseband without running a system (w/o home button usage) or how to get the original kernel working again.
i need you guys !
I use Mac OS X Lion.
when i now want to flash a kernel this error appears in terminal running heimdall
Initialising connection...
Detecting device...
Claiming interface...
ERROR: Claiming interface failed!

sorry for push but i need urgent help.

Modelnumber: GT-I9100
2.3.6
Basisband: I9100XXKI4
Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel [email protected] #21
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWLA4
android 2.3.6. now running.
what to do next ?
i can't fix that kernel .... heimdall still complains even after reinstalling with sudo open heimdall command
Hi mate, try this...
Turn OFF your phone, remove the battery, leave it for about 3 mins, place the batt again, dont turn ON...! try if you can enter into the Recovery Mode of the S2 by holding the Volume Up + Home + Power buttons of your Galaxy until the Samsung logo comes up.
After that you can try to do a WIPE of the "Cache" and "Dalvik Cache", not Data or you gonna lose anything, and restart..
thanks for the reply dude.
I can't do a wipe cache or wipe dalvik cache without a working home-button. i can't choose in the menu........
the problem is the firmware. my home -button doesn't work. How do i solve this ?
Try select with the power menu button .
jje
power button selection doesn't work. the menu is disappearing. by pressing power button again menu appears again.
can't access "advanced"
now i'm going to staples.... fixing that **** with odin -.- wish me luck
please send me some kernels here with tutorial what to do in odin.
i need that help
same happains to be i oden the stock roms, custom roms but no use, home button is gone
@OP, you've flashed something meant for the SGH-I777 on your GT-I9100. Just flash a stock ROM for the correct device.
There is an easy fix. Use a USB jig to get into download mode. Then flash again with heimdall but this time use a i9100 kernel/ROM
SO HARDCORE
****ing finally did it in download-mode and with RIGHT firmware from sammobile AND the other Mac from my brother running heimdall the first time on it.
My Specs now:
Modelnumber: GT-I9100
Android-Version:2.3.6
Basisbandversion: I9100XXKI4
Kernel-Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411 [email protected] #2
Buildnumber: GINGERBREAD.XWLA4
Now with my german SIM card from blau.de (e-plus) doesn't get the american cell-phone network connection.
But all Buttons are working again.
Should i flash the "modem" file from "I9100XWLA4_I9100XXKI4_I9100EPLK1" now with heimdall?
Or which basis band protocol/ version is the right one for a working european AND northamerican network.
Please give me some additional information how to flash it and what file / basis band.
so glad now ...... at least i can listen to music or surf on starbucks wifi for orientation in new york ...... i was sooo lost the last days.
PS: i still have the CWM (i think) in vol down & power button mode
ok i tried heimdall again now to flash modem.bin again with MB Pro of my brother
i successfully detected device . then tried heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
error was protocol not detected.
at the second try: error was : like in post 1. claiming interface failed.
haalp please
............... just need a name of baseband and a short how to do
can i update my baseband with CWM ?
there is a "sim card symbol" in the status bar with an "!".
if i want to call somebody there's the message "couldn't connect network"
haalp.
nothing helped.
I still get no mobile network connection.
I have DarkyOTA installed, rooted.

Kernel won't matter for signal quality.
I'm in Oregon, with an I9100, on AT&T. My device currently has XXKI3 firmware, which has XXKI3 modem, and everything works perfectly.
That said, I believe the XXKI4 modem should work as well. Looks like you have the XXKI4 modem, based on post what you have in post 11. But you also say you are trying with a German provider SIM card? Have you tried with an AT&T SIM card?
EDIT to add: Getting a pre-paid SIM from AT&T may end up being cheaper in the long run for you than whatever roaming agreement E-plus has with AT&T anyways. Just food for thought.
EDIT 2: you can always try reflashing XXKI4 modem, or if you want to try it, flash the XXKI3 modem. Modem thread here.
well i know i am roaming. I leave internet shut off. But i want to telephone in Problem situations when i loose my little brother etc.
I have DarkyOTA and i can flash every Firmware (Modem?! -same?!) which is displayed there.
XXKI4 doesn't work either ...... (flashed from DarkyOTA ... root ok ...flash ok ... SU ok ....)
well that SIM Card worked that days until i messed up my phone flashing
lol ****ing **** I9000XWLA4 works
In summary I have upgraded to ICS (Official), but am unable to connect to my carrier network and some of the OS seems missing; If I long press my power button I don't get the device menu, it just turns off.
Full details:
I am on a South African network, and the ROM shipped with my device is I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA. I downloaded two variants of the new ICS ROM from link;XWLP7 & XXLPQ and I downloaded the latest Odin.
From there I followed these instructions:
Extract the firmware
Open the included Odin
Put your device in Recovery MODE (Home + Volume up + Power)
Wipe Data/Factory reset
Wipe Cache
Take Out Your battery & put it back in
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power)
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
On both ROMs, following the PASS message my phone rebooted, and everything starts up perfectly; Applications get installed and so on. Only one big problem, I can not connect to a carrier network (The OS also never prompts me to unlock my SIM card). When I bring down my network menu (swipe down) it says Emergency Calls Only. I then figured I would try and manually select a carrier network, so I went and scanned for networks and selected Vodacom. I then get an error message saying "Error cannot connect". I also don't seem to have access to the menu one gets when holding down the power button, if I hold it down the device shuts down; no silent, power off, etc menu.
This happens with both of the rom variants I have. After trying everything in my limited knowledge I gave up, found and downloaded the old I9100XWKI4_I9100OJCKI1_XFA rom. I am now back on that rom and everything is working fine.
I have also tried following these steps: link
Except I restore factory settings and wipe cache before deploying the ROM. I then sought the help of a fellow Droid user from the South African forums, who suggested that I flash onto the old Dutch firmware (GT-I9100_XEN_I9100XWKJ3_I9100XENKJ1_I9100XXKI4). After confirming it worked and I could get onto the network, I took the SIM out and did a proper firmware upgrade via KIES. The upgrade went in without any issue, BUT after the upgrade the problem was still there; no carrier network, no power button menu.
After further fiddling I figured that the OS not asking for my SIM PIN must be one of the causes of my issue, so I went to my settings and turned SIM security off and on. After doing so, suddenly the device hopped onto my carrier network. This did not solve the issue though, as I have to do this after every reboot.
I have checked to ensure my IMEI number is fine, and it is 100%. When I flashed to the XEO version, I could get into the *#272* menu and change my CSC. After doing so, problem was still there.
I am now totally confused as to what on earth could be causing the issue, especially considering other people on the same device with the same carrier seem to be able to flash without hassle - does anyone have any suggestions, or ideas? Come on XDA!
Try checking the efs\imei folder to see if the keystr file is there. If its not, make one with the value 1. Search the q and a forum for more info
Can this be done without rooting my phone?
EDIT: Required rooting. Was the missing "keystr" file in my EFS/IMEI directory (link)

Hi everyone,
this is my first post, hoping to don't break some rule
sorry for may not so perfect english
I spent last two days searching info and threads in the forum but no luck.
I own two Galaxy S2, one is for research and modding ^_^ the other one is for stock use and work.
all of two were branded H3G Italy.
the one i use for testing is an MP1.300, actually it has the CBR AOSP ROM
and everyting go smooth apart from some little bug I'm notifying the author 89luca89.
In the past month i flashed various rom, official and modded, and all went like a charm.
Now the second phone: it was a stock 2.3.5 H3G branded phone, everything was ok (apart a problem i will explain later)
two days ago i updated the phone using kies and got the ICS 4.0.3 H3G, everything went well but after the restart the phone didn't recognize the sim, i tryied reflashing wiping rooting triple wiping unrooting etc and then i discovered two strange beaviors:
1) i was wrong, the sim GET RECOGNIZED from the phone but if there is the pin protection active the phone don't shows the unblocking request so no gsm network at all, if i remove the pin protection from the sim the phone works normally.
2) the power button now switch off the phone without show the power menu with the classic fly mode - data on/off reset shutdown etc.
To be shure it was a software problem and not an hardware one i flashed on this phone the CBR AOSP ROM and the phone worked normally with or without the pin, the power menu is ok and so on.
the strange thing is... the hardware model of the phone is MP 0.600 inspite of classic MP1.200 or 1.300.
now i'm asking you some tips... and i'm curious if someone can explain me that strange HW model (MP 0.600)
Now the aforementioned problem
this strange beavior already happened some months ago and after some days the phone didn't switch on at all so i send everything at service center and the phone returned me simply reflashed with 2.3.5 (the same rom it has when the problem appeared the first time.
Probably there is a strange behaviour with the hardware but i'm wondering why the AOSP rom work well..
I forgot to write that the IMEI is correct and that the sim works well in other phones and other sims show the same beaviour on the unlucky phone
all the roms ICS AOSP e AOKP works well, only official stock samsung ICS (H3G XEU XEN etc.) show the problem.
finally i flashed various modem but nothing changes.
sorry again for my bad english.

in another post someone asked me how i saw the hardware version of my phone...
following the procedure i used (simply used service code...)
from the dialer insert the code
*#*#197328640#*#
then press:
[2] version info
then
[1] SW VERSION -> [5] READ ALL SW VERSION
(i can't post external link so cut, modify and paste the link in you browser...)
i46 dot tinypic dot com/w2ocx1.png
or
[2] HW VERSION -> [1] READ HW VERSION
i46 dot tinypic dot com/oh8zkp.png
No Idea?
it's possible that no other people had such issue?
I remember some month ago someone writing about the problem of the power menu disappeared... but I'm not able to find that thread...
So no luck...

Search for /efs/imei/keystr file fix.
WOW
I replaced the file keystr and now the long press of the power botton
shows the standard menu and...
the phone is requesting to insert the pin at boot for the sim.
Now the strange thing is that this normally happen AFAIK when you flash
and reflash and do something wrong with firmwares and wipes...
the strange thing is that this phone was stock, not rooted...
(now i rooted the phone to restore the file and to try with other firmwares tnah original).
i noticed in the efs folder there are other missing files respect another phone
but I don't know if they are files created on the fly in special cases.
(I noticed the file mps_code.dat contains the product code and varying after a flash and one or two wipe)
There is some guide to learn the use of every single file in the efs folder?
and... why aosp roms function well even without that file in the efs folder?
I think it would be interesting try to discover whats is causing such behaviour.
so, thanks and.. set this thread as resolved

Hello everyone. I have a samsung galaxy s7 edge (SM G935F) and i recently received the android 8.0.0 from samsung. Downloaded and installed directly via the cellphone.
But after updating i am getting this internet/connection drop issues a lot.
Now a lot of times when im connected in wifi or using the 4g mobile internet, im getting a lot of internet lag/drops. Example: at whatsapp, when i sens a message, the clock appears and only after a little rhe time the message is send.
Example 2: at facebook, somerimes it lags and takes too long to load the content (same happening in instagram). Or at clash of clans, it is showing that symbol of internet issue.
Besides those internet bugs/lags, the android 8.0.0 is ok.
I already did a factory reset yesterday via the phone, and saved the files with smart switch. But the problem persists. I also checked and my wifi internet and my mobile internet are ok.
Does anyone knows how to fix this issue? Is there a newer version of the ROM, maybe? Or if not, is ir possible to downgrade to android 7 again (really wouldnt like this option but....)?
If anyone could help that would be great. But for the record:im really newbie at android stuffs....if you can help, please could you explain step by step?
Thanks everyone

I have the same phone but in my region the OTA 8.0 upgrade didn't arrive yet so I took a french official 8.0 for SM-G935F and installed it. After about one week I can tell it works like a charm and even better than before with the Marshmallow firmware. I don't see a solution with your specific connection problem but I can try to find and bring you the OS that I downloaded and used if you want.

NO, i can't seem to remember where i downloaded the firmware from, but I am sure it wasn't from Sammobile because it take ages to download. But I still have it on my laptop so I'm uploading the .rar on mediafire.
All you have to do:
Get Odin
Get the ROM (extract it separately, you should see the AP, BL, CP, CSC components)
Cause I am a new user on the forum it doesn't allow me to post external links so let's get around that:
type in w w w. mediafire . com /file / tx3676bj71vz17f/G935FXXU2ERD5_G935FOXA2ERD5_BTU.zip (copy paste and remove all the spaces)
Activate USB debugging (google that, you can get it in 30 secs)
press and hold power+home_button+volum_down then press volume_up when it asks you to confirm that you know what you're doing.
Open Odin, you should see that your phone is recognized (in the top left rectangle it shows COM something.
Add the AP, BL, CP and CSC from the folder to Odin by pressing the specific buttons and then selecting them, wait between them if necessary, it will tell you.
Make sure re partition is not ticked in the options tab.
after everytihng is ready, click start and wait some time.
When it is done you should see PASS in green and your phone restarting.\
From there you just have to configure your new OS. Bare in mind that you should know the google acc and password that you had on the phone before, else it will get FRP locked.
Hope this helps, If you have any questions feel free to ask.
