Hi, I'm having an issue with the FM radio on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (i9100t).
I open the FM radio app (pre-loaded), plug in the headphones (as far in as they go), I then attempt to switch it on (touch key on the top left), a message is displayed saying: "Unable to turn on FM radio". I then try scanning for channels and it displays: "No channel found".
This happened with the stock firmware. Last night I installed Android 2.3.6 using Odin 1.85 and it displayed all available FM stations and worked perfectly, so there is definately a FM tuner. Then this morning it started displaying the old messages again.
The details of my phone are:
Model: Samsung galaxy S2 i9100T
Original provider: Vodafone Australia
Original firmware: DUKF4
Alternative firmware tried: KI4 (Android 2.3.6), KF1 (Android), Cyanogenmod 7, MIUI 1.7.29, KP8 (Android 4.0.3)
I can use Tunein or similar internet streaming applications, but I would really prefer to use the FM tuner as this gets better signal.
I'd really appreciate any advice on this, does anyone know of a custom build that will fix the issue?
UPDATE - Solved
Just fixed this issue, it was just dodgy stock firmware
Installing Lite'ning Rom v6.1 XXKH3 (had to do it twice) took care of it, thank you very much to LitePro, it's a great, fast, stable ROM:

The radio works perfectly now

(I should have flashed JPKJ2 gb 2.3.5 firmware, but because its outdated, flashed the kl1 2.3.6 instead)
My problem is that i cannot access the 2g or 3g internet. I have the jKay mod which turns the signal icons to green. but they dont. they just come on (grey) but dont connect.
I called the operator many times to install the settings. but still no help.
If anyone in uae, can u confirm theres a gb 2.3.6 for uae?
any advice?
I recently bought a samsung Galaxy Y, and this had 2.3.6 xxkk(?) firmware with arabic support. Can any UAE user confirm that there is a 2.3.6 official update for galaxy s2?

Check your APNs to see if they changed or got wiped out?

Yep, they are still there.
I installed new one by calling the helpline. they told me to restart my phone afterwards. i did, but still cannot connect.
Is it possible that marketenabler app is causing the problem? i know that when you switch sim ids (from local to US etc) u cannot connect 3g.
but even if i try to connect with local sim id it does not connect
Man, just Google for your provider apn details for android. As far as I know 3g etc should work the same on all firmwares unless your phone is not the international version.
I have the i9100t which has a different modem. When I flash any rom I reflash just the modem and all is good again. But first make sure your apn is correct and you have selected it (should have the green dot beside it).

Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2. I live in Rep. of Ireland.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

sxi200 makes an excellent point. Make sure what your model is - GT-I9100, GT-I9100G, GT-I9100T - it WILL make a difference.

Because I've flashed an international firmware, when the phone boots up it shows i9100 and in settings / about phone it also shows i9100.
The only place it shows as an i9100T is on the sticker under the battery. So remove the battery and check just in case.
EDIT: you say you flashed an Indian firmware. Aren't Indian models the i9100G. Maybe you need to flash the international firmware if you indeed have an international model.

Well, i did go back and flash the jpkj2 2.3.5. and still no connection.
will try from an open place again later.
i have an issue with my internet connection too. i got an I9100(international version) and things were perfect till i switched to 4.0.3 and since then, my internet just refuses to connect although i have full signal strength and 3G or H displayed. but there is nothing going through.
it works again after i switch to airplane mode and back. i have no issues with wifi.
i have tried many modems and roms. i am currently using the KI4 rom and it still gives me issues.
please help.
update on situation
Hi guys,
just an update on my situation. Had the phone sent to Samsung twice for a check and bothe times it came back perfect with test sheets showing all was perfect. I decided to have another check done on the phone and it now says that the phone is blocked!! What the hell!. When i checked first weeks ago all was good and now it says it's blocked, but i'm getting 2g signal, surely i should be getting nothing if it's barred.
I have no idea who the origional service provider was of the phone, is there any way of finding out who the origional provider was or is there any way of removing this barring?
Thanks
Hello friends,
I am living in Israel and got the SC-02 (a friend brought me from Japan).
I put on the phone the operating system ICS (Open Europe - the offial version).
I notice that i got no GPS working , and i got some cellular reception problems (some times delay in calls, calls are cut in the middle and sometimes no reception at all).
From what i have read in this forum i understand that the SC-02 got different hardware and memory from the Eruropian version.
Does anyone knows where can i find an official ICS sutiable for my phone including instructions ?
I found some unofficial guids, for Cyanomode + SC-02 kerenels , but the instructions seems very complicated and unclear...(i didnt root my cell phone).
If this is the only choice that i have got.. does anyone know of a good instructions link (or can tell here in simple words what have to be done ?)
I will relly appreciate any help ...please..
Many thanks ,
Ran
Your "Special" Galaxy SII
Hi Ran,
I too have been gifted with a SC-02c in Israel.
My first recommendation is that you try and give it back. You REALLY REALLY want the international version which is the version used in Israel. Failing that cry a little after you have finished with that.
1) You can actually burn the local versions of the firmware but you need to preserve the
- Kernel of the SC-02c
- Modem of the Sc-02c
If you do that everything will work fine minus the FM radio and NFC
See following link for help :
---www&japanmobiletech&com_search_label_SC-02C---
replace & with .
Replace _ with\
2) Don't break the screen as you will not be able to easily replace the screen in Israel as the chassis of the SC-02c and the international version are not the same.
The solution: I let you know in a few days as I have to replace mine.
Hi , Many thaks
Nice to know that other guys in Israel already encounter the same problem.
I have ICS (Open Europ ) on my device now.
Can you please explain how can i change the kernnel and modem version ?
Shell i do it with Udin ? where can i find the correct kernnel and modem version for
the SC-02C (does it suit with ICS ?) ? I Cant see the link you put here ..
Thanks,
Ran
having the same problem
hello gays,
having the same problem as Ran,
can u please guide me how to solve the problem?
tnx,

SC-02c in ISrael
See instructions at the website I gave you. I had to change the "." and "\" as this forum won't allow me past links at the moment.
It explains how to burn "kernel & modem" and using heimdall
You can use the Kernel from Siyah which will give you root access and other neat features. If you want to use the "original" kernel & modem you need to find the ICS version of sc-02c at website
samsung-updates&com_category_news
but I wouldn't bother just use the version from Siyah.
Let me know how you go.
Hi,
After aloog try i cusseded in flashig the ICS official ROM (from sammobile the V. from 16 June). I needed to configure again the partitions (Via original SC-02C PIT file) , after that i turn into old android version (2.3.6) and after that the ICS.
For now everthig is working fine exept from the GPS..
I use :
Model no :SC-02C
Android version : 4.0.3
Baseband Version : SC02COMLPG
Kernel version : [email protected]#3 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jun 13 20:42:11 KST
Build no : IML74K.OMLPG
While i am doing reset (boot) for my cell l see the Samsung i9100 icon in the first screen , any idea way ?
Any idea what is the problem with the GPS ?
Many thanks ,
Ran
Thats It guys !!
I download the "GPS Status" application . I did --> tools-->Manage A-GPS state
Reset , and afterwards --> Download (to get GPS assistance from network).
Now the GPS is working , and everything is fix (with the official ICS ).
Thanks for all !!:laugh:
Excellent.
Actually you can change to the official "Orange - Israel" ICS if you want.
Where can I find the GPS Status app on PLAY ?
Regards
Hey,
I set up CM 10 (20120908 nightly build) on my galaxy S3.
When phone starts everything is fine. But when I reboot i don't get baseband working. I flashed many different modems like:
XXDLH6
XXDLH7
BULF1
XXLEF
XXLF2
XXDLH4
but no one seens to work. After I flashed the modems I wiped everything.
My provider is Base Germany (eplus)
When I enable/disable flight mode broadband works again.
Any ideas?
thanks in advance
Hi Guys.
I had my galaxy s2 replaced about 6 months ago after it got stolen.
I had 3 replacements until i got my last one which i still have.
The details:
Network: Three UK
Originally received the phone on: 2.3.6 XWKK2
At the time i tried to upgrade the firmware to ICS, but it wouldn't let me saying none was available either over air or through Keis.
So i took to the forums, and found that the firmware for this version was listed as Opus Australia.
Eventually i found some fware that worked: I9100XWLP7 Baseband Version:I9100XXLPS. Android 4.0.3
I have recently been having a few problems with my phone:
1. It crashes sometimes when i try to type a message: Unfortunately, MAPServiceSamsung has stopped,
2. When i try turn the wireless on sometimes it doesn't come on, the screen doesn't come on again and needs restarting
3. When i try turn wifi tethering on it needs a restart?
So, i was initially thinking of a version of ROM that was generic UK 4.0.3 , so that i can naturally upgrade to 4.1.2 when it finally gets to the UK.
Then i found 4.0.4 which i discounted because of a thread that said it could brick the phone if i used the wrong kernell (i am no techy).
So does anyone know of a good rom i can use that is generic UK either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 that i can fix my phone with?
Also how do i find out what CSC my phone is on? so i can replace that too?
Thanks

Hi thanks for your response. I have looked on there, but cant seem to find the correct 4.0.3 version.
There's a thread in original android development with many stock ROMs.
The OP is from the supernexus dev.
You can find it easily by looking at his threads.

Hello
I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 android 4.3,
baseband version I9300XXUGNA8
3.0.31-2429075 kernel version,
version number: JSS15J.I9300XXUGNB6,
at the back of phone are:
Model: GT-I9300
FCC ID: A3LGTI9300A
SSN-I9300GSMH
the GSM network and the Bluetooth works fine, but impossible to put the wifi on it, I tried the trick * # 0011 # without sucked, I flashing with odin, but still the problem persists.
I also noticed that the battery drains quickly help me to solve this problem.
after having reflash with odin with the firmware I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_TMC.zip, wifi function is enabled, but 10 minutes later the problem came back, amazing I think it is a hard problem
thank you
