Hi, I have a carrier (3UK) branded SGS2, and have been running MIUI for a little while
I decided to go back to stock, so used ODIN + files from this thread.
However, once ODIN has done it's thing, update continues on the phone. It reports that it couldn't access /system/csc/KOR/system, but that CSC has been installed.
However, there is no signal, no network available all I have is 'emergency calls only', whereas before I had pretty good signal, and I've not changed location.
I'd check what the current CSC is with *#1234#, but it seems that that rom is broken. FCs for com.android.acore, among others including google services, and as a result the dialer won't open, and others from the same list create a lovely bootloop.
Where can I get a working, stock rom, with the connectivity for my carrier?
How do I solve my issues?
P.S. - Yes I have seen a psychatrist. He got bored
1st check your imei number, is that 00499901064000 or still orignal imei??
press *#06# to know imei
Go to settings > about phone > Status
Check your IMEI/Wi-Fi MAC/etc
If its not there, your EFS it toasted and I hope you have a backup.

Have you done a EFS backup?
Check in your internal sd card for something like efs.autobackup.img to see if its been auto backed up.

And that would be what, exactly?
I always take care to back-up regularly through Titanium, MIUI's built in recovery and using CWM

I had the same ROM and i have the 3UK branded SGS2 too. MIUI is too buggy to be honest. I had the same issue with signal. Only got 1 bar then 'Emergency Calls Only'. 3UK works best with XXKPA modem. Currently, i have WanamLite, always get full bars
Try it

Hi there, i just have a quick question, pretty easy but im too dumb to get through it .. I just flashed Ultra ICS 1.2 from westcrip but it doesnt really work for me (phone and sms doesnt work, i get a message that its stopped and when i try to click on it on the homescreen it says that the app?! is not installed). Well .. the plan was before that i get the v0.5 from westcrip but i installed Ultra ics cause I just had to flash a zip .. now the main problem.
When im installing it like its said on the site ill get an error. Because: my cwm says that i cant restore tar files. But its said that i should unrar the rar and restore the stuff like a backup.. I just googled and its said that tar files need to be installed by odin. But theres no single comment in the thread that says that i need odin?! what do i have to do to get it working with the md5+img+tar files (!). (My normal cwm backup just has the md5 and img files)
Please help me
Thanx

You have been reverted to the generic IMEI, which means the phone wont work properly, and as you don't have a backup of the IMEI you are a bit out of luck.
Your best bet is to flash to stock, reset flash counter, and get it fixed under warranty, say it happened during a KIES update.

Way to hijack a thread.
To my personal knowledge, though, that is correct. Updates contained in .zips can be flashed in recovery, but tarballs (.tar, .tar.md5) need to be flashed using Odin.
However, to help you out, it would be better to know which phone you're talking about for a start (I'm taking it its SGS2) and which thread you're talking about. Post a new [Q] thread with all info and I'll try and help as I can.

EUGH. I feared you were going to say that. I have no idea how to do that, but I'll look it up I guess.
Thanks for all the help anyway. =]
It's about this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854 , and ye its about the S2. Im not a total newb, got an hp touchpad and working on it since the cyano release. But im rlly not getting through it :/ and like nobody has the same problem
Cool, well like I said, Post it up as a new [Q] thread, then you title it to your specific enquiry, and maybe if it turns out I can't help, then its still open for other people to help out, as I think were probably the only 2 left monitoring this thread now.

1) from this thread download, your stock rom and the old bootloaders. (carrier branded roms are in another thread linked from that one)
2) flash old bootloaders
3) use USB jig to wipe the download counter
4) flash your stock rom
5) flash the new bootloaders if your stock firmware is UHKI1 or newer
That should make your phone look stock

Make your own thread and try to be totally clear what your problem is, as I am unable to work out what is wrong/what you are trying todo, and even what rom you are on.
Use bullet points.
lets try this one:
wanna install : resurrection v6.0 based on XXKPA OFFİCİAL İCS from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854
problem:
after extract and steps i followed :
"Download the cwm backup
Put it on your internal SD Card . example phone/internal sd/clockworkmode/backup ( NOT EXTERNAL SD CARD )
Enter Recovery
Wipe Everything
select restore and backup
Select restore from internal sd card ( NOT EXTERNAL SD CARD
After install finished
reboot the device
Enjoy!"
I get the problem that on the cwm backup are "tar" files which i cant install with my cwm.. its a cache.ext4.tar, data.ext4.tar,system.ext4.tar,nandroid.md5, boot img in the rar. my normal backups just have img files ... guess its not that hard to answer, pretty much a standard question but i dont find anything in the forums and im not able to post in the thread itself cause i have below 10 posts or stuff like that. (Posted in this thread cause tar files are normally used by odin..)
thanx

Hey guys
just got my sgs2 on monday, flashed it with generic firmware before i read anything about optus not releasing the firmware. i have issues with my screen being blurry, blue hue etc and i wish to take the phone back
so im wondering if anyone made a back up of their optus firmware
if so can i please get a copy, i had ke7 on mine but any optus will do
ive ordered myself a jig to remove binary code counter
also im sure there is a guide but i cant seem to find it, on how to restore from a nandroid backup and then remove root so its completely stock again
can someone please point me in the right direction
this screen issue is really buggin me enough to return it or sell it and buy a htc sensation
supposedly optus havent heard of any screen issue with sgs2 until i called them
hope someone can help
cheers
so im wondering if anyone made a back up of their optus firmware

Somebody was kind enough to post this on Whirlpool forums I have not had a need to use it yet, so good luck with it.
Cheers
thanks heaps mate
now... how to get it back on there
Sweet, an optus rom
Been looking for AGES for this!!!
Now, the question, am I correct in assuming this is a complete package? If so, will an odin flash, plus a hit with the USB Jig, be all that I need to get this back to stock?
i think it must be restored with cwm but im not 100% sure on that
im goin to look for a guide
got to go out now so ill check back later
unless someone can give us a link now that would be fantastic
ya this is for cwm

1. ok first of all download and flash this kernal
http://www.filesonic.com/file/1226649534/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_OJV_KF1-v4.0-CWM4.zip
2. it will install CWM manager in your device open it and backup your device
3. connect your device to pc/ mac and goto phone memory and then
clockworkmod > backup > (extract your optus rom and )put it there
4. in CEM press restore, it will show you (your backup) and optus backup rom, press OPTUS one and it will restore and restart, now you would have optus rom
5. check optus things (is these there as they came with new phone)
6. download s1 root/ unroot from this link
http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/06/16/one-click-root-and-unroot-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-sii/
7. unroot your phone, (may be you will also need to restore original kernal but not sure about it - give it a try and see if there is a yellow triangle when you restart your phone then you will need to flash stock kernal, let me know if there is yellow triangle up on restart, i will then tell you to flash stock kernal if you do not know how to flash it ) now you need to reset counter
8. buy usb jig from ebay, here is a link
http://shop.ebay.com.au/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m570.l1313&_nkw=usb+jig&_sacat=See-All-Categories
9. reset it and you are on stock
if there is anything new please let me know this will help you both and many others to learn new things

not sure, you can try it by deleting or also by coping optus rom using external sd card if you have one
its because the optus rom is missing a boot.img file
(error while flashing boot image)

will the boot.img from my latest rom work?

Hello!
I've recently flashed the ICS OS onto my galaxy s2. However it seems to be a UK version as I cannot agree to the software update agreement along with the time won't update automatically. It seems to be a little glitchy on my phone as well...
Is there anyway I can revert back to the old gingerbread?
Thanks,
Yes its buggy, its an alpha and not really daily driver quality
How to get back to gingerbread: see here
Ya I've tried that link, I went to the link for files under the BELL (Canada) network. And there aren't any .tar files in the downloader. It's cache, factoryfs, and modem then zImage. When I flashed ICS there were .tars.
Any more ideas?

*sigh* Download the bell firmware, its a .exe, after you run it, it will extract into a .tar
To quote the thread "If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file."
Just shove it into "PDA".
Pleases read the thread.. and flash the bootloaders first, then flash the rom.
Thank you very much. <3
Gotta love noobs....
So saying though, I've reflashed the older bootloader firmware on mine and I'll be stuffed if I can get past a bootloop....
Flashed the KP8 firmware on to test but wanted to go back to older rom...
Tried my stock rom, a few other stock roms and finally went back to KP8..
It was the only one that worked...
Will play around as time permits but doing backshift can REALLY knock you about..

Yeh, I know right, im in a bored/good mood so I have patience!
I know that one, worked a double then a nightshift once, I was dead to the world.
I recognise your avatar, did you ever have a HTC hermies, or a blueangle?
As far as the getting back to GB, you should be fine doing;
1) Odin flash old bootloaders
2) Odin flash firmware
Can you get into CWM recovery? Maybe flash something via zip, white cache/data/etc?
Otherwises thats just weird, I have seen peoples phones do weird things after flashing the ICS leaks, like someones refusing to run CM7, even after flashing back old bootloaders and double flashing the CM7 zip.
Im staying away myself, for the time being, however tempted I am
Yep, Hermies it was.....
As I say, I'll kick this puppy hard and make it do what I want or destroy it in the process... Don't like not being able to do as I want... Got a whole heap of roms to flash using cwm and thanks to chainfire I have a kernel that is rooted and has cwm.
Good idea not to try just yet, could be a harsh learning curve..
For reference, I have a chinese made international sgsII with original firmware XWKG1, might be model specific but who knows....
Take out your exteral sd and make sure you flash your old modem back.

These uppity electronic devices, cant let them get the better of us!
I am sure there will be some combo of flashes and hand waving that will give it a good kick in the head.
As long as its a i9100 it shouldn't make a difference, still weird though.
Ok, fixed it good...
You need to flash with ODIN 6 times...
!st I flashed stock rom, I had a full screen of red error messages, ignore them. I then flashed cf-root over the top. I got into recovery by holding down up volume, home button and power until sgs logo appeared then released power. Held in other buttons until recovery menu appeared...
I then cleared cache, dalvik cache and then went into mounts and formatted everything (remove your sd card or it will be wiped too).
Flash stock with Odin a second time, the cf-root a 2nd time. Repeat above steps but also in advanced fix permissions.... Also do a full wipe of data..
Flash with ODIN a 3rd time, 1st stock then cf-root... You should be back up and running... Now flash away with whatever rom you please and leave KP8 alone until its easier to fix...
Sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense and its possible I did a few steps more than I needed but I just got home after a lovely night at work and REALLY need sleep...
Cheers, hope this helps....
Thats just mental, glad you got it working though

guys i need some help .. i flashed 4.0.3 on my SGS2 ..as we know the rom is quite buggy so i tried going back to 2.3.6. Here is what happens..
I flashed stock GB using odin .. phone boots but takes me to the 'emergency dial' screen with a finger constantly telling me to touch the android... at the same time i'm getting thousands of FC messages.
I've tried restoring backups of my GB rom, the one i was using before flashing ICS but all the backups fail..saying 'system.img' file not found
I've tried flashing 2 differnet roms using odin but the same happens. .. i'm forced to only flash the laggy buggy ICS rom but i want to go back to GB
A step by step guide will be much appreciated.

<removed link to something you shouldnt use>
Thats for i9000, I dont know if it will work with i9100, and may have bricked your phone.
Should have just used standard odin
Can you get into download mode?
Do you have a backup of the stock or another rom that you can then revert back to stock from?
Just curious as to what the issue is, ICS is running fine for me, only issue is the video codecs which I knew about. Maybe a reflash would help if its glitchy?

Ok, so you have bootloader from gingerbread back on your phone?
If you had flashed i9000 bootloaders onto your i9100 you would have bricked, you haven't, we are all good.
Now you just need to fix the FC'ing, what stock rom are you flashing?

With the state of your phone now, if you were to reflash a rom between the two, you would have to flash the odex version because it will have everything stock, while the other deodexed one might have one or two things taken out, I believe.
How on earth do these things happen if you followed the steps, i dont get it

Could be a bug somewhere, development in this device is still very small and new.
@OP, reflash stock as suggested, might be lucky and get your details back.
i just flashed a stock rom, no luck.
still no imei. is there anything else I could do?
Not sure if this is possible but use someones efs img and inject your own imei inside it. i wonder if this would work

I tried doing that on my old device with no luck, but it may work for him.
I had the exact same issue, unfortunately I had no success, I ended up sending my phone back to Telstra and getting a replacement
I have the i9305T from Telstra and I made the mistake of trying to install CF-Root 6.4 for the standard i9300. Once I did that I soft bricked the phone. I have been able to download the Telstra ROM from SamFirmware and install it and be able to get the ROM up and running again. I have lost the ability to connect to the mobile network. I can still use the phone to full capacity and even connect to wifi. I haven't be able to work out a way to repair the mobile network connection.
Can you suggest any ideas?
Guys I have thought about something go into the Hidden Menu *#197328640# Option 5 says EFS sync... Click on this and see what happens, there are also other options all over the place go through the whole menu and see if you can manage to do something and let us know

cool, i'm just waiting to get hold of original Everything Everywhere UK ROM before I do that.
OK, i've triangleaway'd my flash counter.
so now my phone in download mode reads:
Odin mode
Product Name: GT-I9305
Custom Binary Download: No
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Custom
Now, it says samsung official as i used a foreign (to me) firmware from sammobile, i still want to change this to the everything everywhere ROM.
Why does system status still say custom? is it because i still have root? how do i remove it after i install the EE ROM?
The EE rom shouldn't add to the flash counter so i'll be OK to remove root then install it.

I have the rooted stock rom flashed on my phone and the system status says official.
Try flashing the rom from this thread, then you can delete the super user apk.

Hi
I have installed PMP Ultra ROM on my GT-S7592 following all xda appropriate "how to". When it was done, everything was ok but impossible to call or receive calls, I had Network issues (network not connecting, stopping when trying to call for no reason).
Reading the forums, people look to be saying that it was coming from not having the right Baseband. I checked and yes the baseband didn't get updated when I flashed the advised stock rom in ODIN. So I tried it several time, even with different roms (S7562DDBMD1 and S7562XXBMD6) , but still my original baseband S7562ZSMK1 remains.
My results so far: Baseband didn't change accordingly when flashing with ODIN but Build Number did change to IMM76I.S7562DDBMD1 and IMM76I.S7562XXBMD6 and stock ROM got installed.
1- Are my issues really coming from this modem version?
2- If yes, how do I get the Baseband properly changed?
Kind Regards
Dam

All zips I could find where entire ROMs which are suposed to change the baseband, right? Problem is: when I flash them, the build number does change, meaning that something worked, but the baseband does not.
Could you link me to one of those zips? Preferably the one you have used (if you used any) so I can make sure the problem is not me doing something wrong.

I know, it should work. I'm receiving an error message every time I try to flash the fat.bin file with Odin, be it when flashing a whole ROM or only the fat.bin file: "Secure Check Fail: ID 0xc". I researched a lot, but couldn't find an applicable solution. I couldn't even find what this error message means.
Friends, any help on this one? A friend of mine has entrusted his S-Duos to me; the baseband of the same would not budge, whatever I flash. I tried flashing fat.bin file from various stock roms, every time the above mentioned error occurs in Odin.
Edit: The current baseband version is S7562ZSLI3 and the rom I flashed is XXBMJ1.
CWM Recovery
First I got to ask, Do you have CWM Recovery installed? if yes, Do a factory reset with it then. Then go to Advance options Format System partition, Data partition, Cache Partition.
Then reboot the phone normally to be sure that has formated. If it boots up to android then its not formated, but if it gets stuck and Samsung logo for more that 5min. Then its bricked and you are good to go.
No remove the battery and boot to recovery (Volume up + Volume Down + Home + Power buttons) Now install ROM from SD.
That should solve the issue. I have a S7562CHM version and now its S7562XXBMJ1.
Hit thanks if it works.

well previously i was on stock rom 4.2.2 on my I9300, then i flashing 4.3 manually using odin and downloaded the rom from sammobile anyhow since i flashed that firmware i can no longer access anything on my sim card, meaning i cant call or receive any call from anyone, it keeps saying no registered on network, then i thought it could be the rom or something, i tried pa rom and cm official latest builds but in vain, the same issue, i tried changing the sim card but the same, issue not resolved....how can i solve this prob, i wish it is just a software issue not a hardware
i also tried following this link, i thought it would help somehow, but in vain as well, now i have no idea what to do to solve this issue, tried reflashing another stock rom which is probably more appropriate than the old one, but also it didnt work, so now i have no idea what to do, i just need urgent help please, thanks a lot in advance

pardon me for im new to this patch and modem, so i have no idea according to what i have to choose
btw dude, i just noticed that there is another stock 4.3 rom for my country, would flashing that stock firmware be of any good and solve the issue?

okay buddy i got it to work, flashed patched kernel and patched modem using twrp in one go and it did work, couldn't wait for your reply though, so now it is working peacefully and i can access my sim, calling sending sms etc, but i wanna know how to backup efs, or actually is it necessary to back it up, can't i have the patched modem and kernel files for solving this issue whenever it arises?

Hi sorry I have been away from computer i'm glad to see you got it working You will always need to use a patched modem and kernel the only way to return to normal would have been to backup your efs before it got changed. As for backing up your efs you can back it up with PhilZ recovery I'm not sure about twrp iv'e not used it for a while. There are are a few apps/programs that can back it up also just do a search on xda. But remember you will always need to use the patched modem/kernel if you change roms.

Because when you flashed from 4.2 to 4.3 your efs got changed from efs v1 to efs v2 and in the process it got slightly corrupt so it was unable to read your modem ( This happens some times and you where unlucky) .This is a lesson for all people to make sure they backup the efs before flashing roms ( Especially the very first rom that they flash) it is the very first thing you should ever do.

The one that says kernel is kernel patch and the one that says modem is the modem patch lol Try the mk6 modem and the mk6 kernel patch flash them in custom recovery with 4.3 rom. If you get bootloop reboot into recovery and factory reset. Please note this is not guaranteed to fix all imei issues but does help in some cases.

Is there a possibility that there's a way that I could just wipe my entire phone clean of all partition and data and start a fresh firmware update?, if so how can I do that, as I have a corrupted file then I think if it can be done it might just work a fresh firmware flash on a clean system??

important NB: TWRP recovery do support EFS backup with encryption, so i guess it is great to have a sensitive data such as EFS to be backed up with encrypted password, so i do recommend using it as a backup
Hello All, I'm pretty new to all this and am feeling out of my depth, however getting desperate and don't know where to turn next.
I am in Australia and purchased a brand new GT-I9300 from eBay around 3 weeks ago which was shipped from Shanghai, China.
It turned up running 4.1.2 and worked just fine. I tried using the software update feature on the phone to see if 4.3 was available, however, I got the error message to say that because the phone had been modified, software upgrades were unavailable. I mentioned this on a local forum here, and someone kind offered to help me upgrade to 4.3 using Odin.
Turns out the phone was shipped to me rooted and had SuperSU installed. Had to install and run Triangle Away to reset binary counter first. Then installed Odin and followed the links to the firmware and this is where it started going wrong. Fist attempt resulted in a boot loop and could not enter recovery mode to factory reset, however could access download mode, so flashed with 4.3 recovery firmware which got the phone to boot up. Then flashed 4.3 stock firmware again, which was successful this time. However, when trying to make calls or send text messages, the error message on the screen is "Not registered on network". Have tried going back to 4.1.2 and upgrading using Kies, but same result. Then tried the patch from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2745274 and still no luck.
I then sent the phone half way across Australia to Official Samsung Specialist Repair Centre, however, they called me yesterday, to say that because it was an international model, they can't/won't help as they don't have access to international firmware.
If anyone here can help me to get this phone working again, I would be very grateful. Thanks.

Many thanks tallman43, I managed to get someone to give me a hand with giving your idea a try. Just wanted to let you know that it worked, and my GT-I9300 is now back up and connecting to the network and running with 4.3. Thanks again, and much appreciated.
