[Q][ICS 4.0.3][I9100XXKP8] No roaming? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear all,
I'm been using westcrip's excellent ROM (clean / full wipe).
After setting the APN (Tele2, Netherlands, requires roaming) and enabling data+roaming in settings, I get the warning message stating that roaming is switched off.. Thus, no 3G is possible.
Is this problem related to:
the carrier Tele2?
kernel settings?
modem firmware?
I couldn't Google it of find related topics..
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Greetz,
nomiz

Any really its based on a beta test rom not released by Samsung that includes kernel and modem .
If its ok on stock then its the rom .

CM7 Android 2.3.7 works great, it comes with KI4 modem firmware.
Ok, so its not that my carrier is incompatible (for now) with the new modem firmware?
Is it just that the broadcasted frequencies or protocol don't match?

I've tried all of these CWM flashable Modems:
XXLP1
XXKPA
XXKP8
XXKP4
Problem remains: warning message stating roaming is disabled/
Am I the only one experiencing this probem?

[Q] Basics of android firmware

Hello.
I just bought this SGS2. My first android phone. So, Im not experienced with modding it yet. Im already experienced with nokias and iphones.
Well, first I bought it unlocked and I thought it was supossed to be unbranded (in fact it is) but i could not update it to the latest version. :S
Its a brazilian firmware version on uhke4.
What should I do to use (if there is any) a global firmware version (with my language of course)?
I saw in a topic here the list of firmwares. Most of them had what seems to be a localization file and then a stock kernel for each version. Is this correct? What are those "2" files?
Brazil thread ??? .

question not making sense to me sorry .
jje
Saying Localization files I'm referring to Sony Ericssons flashing system. I was just comparing both. On the rom thread there are stock roms and other files with it on the same version. What are the difference between them? And there is a global rom for it? By this I mean a rom that's updated most.
Or in nokia terms, How can I change the product code for my gs2? I just need to flash a rom? But which one is the global rom?
bump, bump. Can we bump here?
Confusion as to Global rom ??
Most roms work in most of the world where their are exceptions it will be the modem/radio and or CSC files which are county specific settings networks keyboards etc .
All firmware versions are usually rolled out worldwide eventually .Except in specific areas mainly those that require different network bands .
The most likely to be updated is the XEU roms as it covers many Europe locations .
jje
Can I flash a different (more updated) kernel with other CSC version? Or Each kernel has its own variants (Phone, SCS files)?
A kernel is not the rom only part of the rom .
But yes you can experiment .
I have KG1 custom rom with KG2 modem homemade CSC and custom kernel .

[Q] about flashing modem on custom ROM

hello,
i live in israel and with cellcom provider.
right now on cognition 1.31, i am looking for a my cellular provider Modem which comes in the CSC(?) on 2.3.3 HEBREW ROM.
is it possible to use 2.3.4 firmware with a CSC that came from 2.3.3 ROM?
switching the modem is possible when you switch CSC or is the process different?
if so, how can i extract the provider modem in orfer to flash it onto my ROM..
if the question is why- its because i have issues with GPS and such and also i think it would improve my battery time.
thanks
Hm, not really sure what exactely you're trying to do.
Modem and CSC are two totally different things.
The Modem software is the firmware of the actual radio/modem device that handles all the traffic to and from the cell network, WiFi and bluetooth.
The CSC is a set of settings, parameters and options.
So, you want to modify/edit settings, like APN or the such, or you really want to flash a new modem firmware/software?
The modem software is part of the firmware ROM .tar, look for modem.bin, that's the one.
Yes, can be flashed independently from the current ROM installed.

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?

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

CM9 with i9100T modem no internet

So i flashed a i9100T modem on my phone with CM9 latest nightly(i know, i know, its a nightly rom) with this modem: I9100TDUKJ1.
I have no internet connection on CM9 but when i install Miui V4 SGS2 2.3.19, i get internet connection. This is weird.
I bought the phone from bell and now im overseas in Thailand and i need to use the internet.
Im on CM9 latest nightly and the internet wont work. Im thinking of flashing a i9100T modem! Please help! Thank you!
I tried KI3, KI4 and all the new ICS Modems and non works. So im turning to the i9100T variant since the 850mhz band in these modem works better.
Some modems are better for certain networks/carriers, so you can definitely flash the i9100T modem in your i9100M. If you are not happy with the network performance, you can always go back to your original modem - there is a huge collection of modems in xda. It will not kill your phone, I personally use different branded modem in sgs2 phone.
fixed
seems like apn settings was wrong.

[Q] (Q) CSC / Modem issue? T-Mobile UK

I’m using a custom rom from here based on XXEMH1 (4.1.2) (Pardus HD Rom 4.1.2 FINAL).
Odd as it may sound but I rarely use 3G for internet use.
I’ve discovered that it is not connecting and under the phone status it states: Roaming = not roaming, Mobile network state = disconnected.
However, roaming is on and the APN settings are correct for T-Mobile UK.
I was going restore the phone to a stock ROM but I am beginning to think it could be caused by a CSC / modem issue?
I apologise in advance if this has been posted and my old brain can’t find a link
I’ve search the forum and I have found a link to downloadable CSC’s for odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198512)
But the link is dead to the CSC files is dead?
IMEI is correct, phone is connecting to the T-Mobile / EE network and there are no other issues.
If anyone has a solution before returning to stock ROM I would appreciate it.

First thing is to return to full stock with CSC and modem for the UK, too many variables else.
