Hi , really sorry if this is in the wrong forum, or if this question has been asked before. I couldn't find its answer.
I'm using an ATT version of Galaxy S II and I was suddenly getting an extremely high amoount of data usage even though my phone was on wifi. I decided to root and get some apps to freeze/kill, and strengthen battery life.
I saw that ICS was leaked and after reading about it, I flashed a custom rom, but then I flashed back to my regular rooted rom. I soon noticed that i no longer heard a "calling" sound when i dialed a number, and when the call was answered, the line is always dead both ways. I can still text and use internet. I unrooted and factory reset, but neither of these solved the problem.
I did notice that one person posted something similar happening to them, and it seemed that the custom rom they used was not for the ATT version for the phone. Their thread was moved, but they mentioned something about having the wrong radio after their flash experience. Could anyone steer me in the correct direction?
Thanks.^^

Hey,
Can you provide me with your phone kernel version, baseband and build number (that can be found under "Settings > About Phone). It might be that you have installed the wrong Modem tar file.
Once you reply me, it might be able to further assist you.
Good luck
kernel: 2.6.35.7
baseband: I9100XXLP6
Build: GINGERBREAD.UCKH7
I'm suffering similar problem for 2 weeks now, strange thing with my phone is that the problem only exists for my original network operator, which has been working well for 4 months. Now the phone only works with other operator's SIM
I have flashed several different ROMs KF4, KI8, KL3(include modem firmware) and even stock 4.0.3 ICS rom, none solved this issue, so I suppose problem is not located at flashable rom area
Oh, but as per those details, you still have the ICS...
Have you written down, before installing the custom ROM, the original phone details?
---------- Post added at 10:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------
@solarj Did you try your SIM in another phone?
Really? How so? I went back to my original using my nandroid backup, and then i used odin to unroot to stock since the factory reset didn't work.
I didn't write anything down before rooting.
I don't think the factory reset affects the ROM. But I looked up the information you provided me with and I saw that it pertained to ICS [samsunggalaxysforums.com]
Now it can be suspected that it is not a compatibility issue, but rather an ICS bug. That's why, I would first suggest you flash a 2.3.6 complete firmware (that is get the whole firmware.rar file that will include: the PDA, Modem and CSC). Such info can be found on sammobile.com and make sure you select the I9100 stuff not the I9100G
Revert back if further assistance is needed.
I will work on it and let you know the results. Thank you very much for your insight.^^

Yes, the SIM works in other phones.
Currently I have
androidversion: 2.3.6
baseband version: DXKL1
kernel version: DXKL3
Build number: Gingerbred.dxkl3
I have seen people reporting similar problem in other forum. And since SIMs from other operator work well in my phone, I don't think it is hardware related.
Currently I've narrowed down my research to 2 questions:
1. Which files are modifed by the flash process (rom/modem etc...) and which files are not modifed by the flash process
2. Does Intel's xmm-6260 platform include some own flashable rom? If it does, how could we flash that?
So many useless replies.

You really can't figure it out after reading the linked tutorial, which even links to another tutorial? You've got all the information you need right there in front of you.
Continuing to post on the I9100 forums isn't going to get you any closer to a fully working device (judging by the first idiotic replies you got, it's more likely to result in you being in a worse situation).

I wasn't really looking for an actual response to that. Thank you very much for taking the time out of whatever you were doing to point me in the right direction.
I will be far more careful when I flash stuff in the future, so I don't make similar mistakes. I'm sure its something that happens alot here, and I do apologize for being yet another person "in the wrong forums flashing stuff for the wrong device."

@ solarj
where are you flashing from? if from Odin, you can select which files to flash, basically the PDA, the CSC and the Modem
Tell me if you need further clarifications
---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------
Just a small note about what i was writing before: you have I9100 ROM (when you first sent me your kernel, baseband etc...) and I think you should have another, nominally the I777 as someone else stated. It is not hard to find the information you need and basically, the GS2 is hardly broken and unretrievable. My point was also that you should be careful in selecting the appropriate flashes. Yet, it wouldn't be the end of the world if you have mistaken ))
Notify me if you needed further assistance

Hey,
Please forgive me if this and following questions have been answered already. I'm casual reader of XDA Forums. Before posting this thread I've done a lot of searching and reading (it took me past 2 hours) and still I'm unsure as to the answer.
I hope it's perfectly fine to have more questions in the thread than one.
All I could find about my current phone and rom running on it:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18067902/Screenshot_2013-01-28-13-05-57.png

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18067902/Screenshot_2013-01-28-13-13-56.png
So to the point. I'm curious if there are any consequences of flashing ROM and not using the correct CSC,
I wanted to flash latest JB on my phone - the official stock ROM from Spain. I'm afraid of doing it because I'm not sure what will happen.
Will my phone be debranded?
Some background info: I bought the phone in Poland. Flashed stock ICS ROM with multiCSC and chose XEO as you can see in the screenshot above. Now I'm living in Denmark. I'd like to get the latest JB on my phone, debranded. What should I do?
Another small question - where can I get the latest version of Odin? I've been looking for some official site for it but to no avail. It seems that I'm too stupid for that.
Thanks in advance for your time and hopefully an answer to my questions (also if any further arise).
NB Sorry for using wrong terms throughout the post - I'm kinda newbie to all of these.

After running the "Got brickbug?" app it appears that mine phone is affected by it. Should I wait for the official OTA then?
Also there are still few questions unanswered from the OP. I'd like to know that stuff.
Brickbug is a hardware problem but only matters if you have a kernel that is not patched for it. Just don't wipe or format the phone till you are sure you have a kernel that is safe.

Brick bug was a start, I assume you've done more reading about all those answers you were looking for.
CSC will work for every I9100, you were reffering to MODEM.
Go ahead and flash jb from spain, if your network doesn't work (unlikely but possible) you'll have to flash another modem.
And yes, your device will be fully unbranded.

Hi, My names Drew, and I just recently joined xda to tinker around with my phone and explore the possibilities that the manufacturers apparently didn't want us to have. I have had my phone for quite a while and I felt it was time to play with it some more. I am have the Samsung Galaxy S2, it is StraightTalks version of it, here are the details on it found through the about-phone.
Firmware: 2.3.6
BasebandVersion: S720C.01 VLI02
Kernel Version: [email protected] -55 #2 PREEMPT Wed Sep 12 10:20:26 KST 2012
I was not sure of which information was needed to get a insecure kernel version, as I could not find anything specifically geared to my phone on these forums. I was unable to directly post on the developers thread due to my low post count (which I would hope should soon get higher as time moves on). So basically, to the point, what insecure kernel should I use since I am a first time rooter? I understand everything here in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125414 except for step two when it's talking about kernal versions.
I moved your question to a new thread in the proper forum where someone can help you out.

I am not sure(gb is old school) but your kernel version isn't exactly shown, and your current kernel already kinda looks like a insecure kernel, I suggest that you dial *#1234# check the pda info and since the kernel usually matches the firmware(pda) version get one kernel according to that.
Edit: Safer thing to do would be to upgrade to JB and rooting it(which is fairly easier I think).

What do you mean by "straight talk" is it some kind of network operator, and are you using some kind of network unlocked device (I am asking because you mentioned Verizon), I will tell you one simple thing though if your device model( as given in the about phone - >model number) is GT-I9100 then it's safe to flash any i9100 JB firmware (especially since you're on GB) if the phone gets sim locked or something you can use the unlock apps available here or in the playstore to unlock it.

It was actually SCH-S720C, sorry I was being a busybody on android area51, I managed to solve my own issue and root my phone. With all the trouble of trying to figure out which insecure kernel I needed to flash, I found out that my phone is actually the Samsung Proclaim, even though I have never heard my phone be called that before. And yes it was Straighttalk, its like Net10. Sorry to leave everyone who replied since my last reply hanging, I have been very busy lately. Thanks for replying on my thread to help me out.
Hi guys!
First of all, I'm sorry if my english sounds wierd, not my main language.
I'm not here to ask witch rom or kernel are the best, just some help.
Recently I got an S2 - GT-I9100 with stock 4.1.2 room. I'm loving this phone, and I kinda like the samsung's rom even tough it consumes a lot of battery. I'm kinda curious about CyanogenMod and using moded kernels, but, I'm kinda afraid of messing up everything and brick my phone. Checked if I had the eemc firmware insane chip and I got it, so it makes me even more insecure of trying out new stuff.
Now for the questions:
I have this phone locked to a carrier, can I still flash it?
Can I flash it even if I have the eemc bug without any problems?
Can you guys recomend a really good newbie guide with each and every step to flash and install a new kernel? (I've looked around this website and the internet, but, those that I find kinda' dont explain everything in an easy way)
I've instaled clockworkmod on my phone, but it says it dosent suport it. why not?
Can I have a custom kernel with sammy's stock room?
thanks in advance.
1) Yes, you can flash custom firmware if your phone is carrier locked
2) Yes, you can flash your phone despite having a chip susceptible to the EMMC bug, which only affects phones running rooted stock 4.0.4 firmware
3) Do not attempt to flash anything to your phone until those guides make sense. Right now they look like they 'don't explain things in an easy way' because you obviously don't know a lot about Android, and in particular this phone. If you take the time to read/learn, the guides very quickly will become easy to understand & you'll know what you're doing. Flashing without knowing what you're doing leads to busted phones & dented wallets.
4) Without knowing exactly what you flashed, I have no idea. If you want to root your phone, there is a thread stickied near the top of Q&A that has all the info you need. It honestly doesn't get any simpler than that thread. If you don't find it easy to understand, as I said above, don't do anything to your phone until you do.
5) Yes, you can run a custom kernel with a stock rom

No worries, Im happy to help.
If you already have superuser just download the "tar" file and flash it with odin as thats just the kernal.
Your build is LSD, download that one. which is philz 5.06.1
Your LSD build is quite old, have a look on samfilmware for your region as im sure you should get atleast LSW. Theres also LSZ and MS1 builds out.
Sorry here is the one you need

Sorry for being such a pain in the ass.
Well tbh, this phone is second hand, and the guy that sold it to me, had a custom rom on it but I asked him to flash it back to stock at the time. it came with stock 2.4 or something, but I updated it trough kies to 4.1.2. I looked around samfilmware and I only saw the build I have right now. I dont think I can update it
So I only need to get odin3, put the cellphone in dm, flash the new tar and thats it?

But the EMMC bug doesn't affect any S II phones with JB roms does it?
Correct (4.0.4 being ICS). Even if you have a susceptible chip, the firmware has to have the bug which causes the chip to be scrambled/corrupted, which means anything before 4.0.4 or anything after (or anything custom for that matter) poses no problems.

They dont say how to backup your things tough but I searched in this forum and found how to do it-. So I only need to use the cwm to back it up. Does it back up EFS folder too?
You have been so far a really helpful dude, thanks mate! Was kinda afraid of posting something here, but turns out there is really nice people around here!
Btw if the mods want I can just PM you for some help instead of posting here.

Yeh just follow Neatrom post to flash. I have never backed things up before flashing other than sync my contacts and pics but it is recommended.

Hi All!
sorry if this thread is a repeat of another somewhere else on the interwebs, but after thorough searching for a few days I could not find a solution or even a similar problem.
(oh and sorry if my question is a little weirdly-put, an xda newb in the flesh, and my first post :fingers-crossed: )
In brief, I had recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S II i9100 from overseas, but as i was overseas I had no sim card and the phone was in aeroplane mode for about a month and a half. while overseas I had flashed many kernels and ROMs, but when I arrived home a few days ago, I had realised my phone wasn't receiving service or reception. at the time I was running a carbon ROM nightly (android 4.3.1), now I have switched over to beanstalk 4.4.2, and I am receiving the same issue, and when I try to flash a different modem/radio in CWM, it always appears with either "error with zip" or "status 7".
When I type *#*#4643#*#* and try to turn the radio on and off, the radio does not turn on or off!
Also; sometimes after boot the carrier name would show up as "YES OPTUS" but no reception, and when I try to make calls its either "please "Turn aeroplane mode off" or "Network is unavailable"
I have changed my sim card with a new one and had fully recharged it too, but on other phones it works, on mine it does not.
so my questions are:
1) What would be the cause of the issue?
2) What would be the best way to solve it?
3) Could it be because i bought it from another country?
4) Could it be a hardware problem?
Phone Specs:
BaseBand version : I9100XXLPW
Android Version : 4.4.2
CWM : v6.0.4.5
Beanstalk Version : Beanstalk-4.4.200-20131222-i9100
Thanks in advance for anyone with any help !!!
And sorry again for the newbiness...this is my first post in my life so you may understand the confusion
Good Day!

Sorry had to explain that of course.
Go to settings - about phone - status and look for IMEI.
If it's empty or showing 004999010640000 it's wrong and restore your EFS back-up or go to the thread to try recover your IMEI and hope it helps.

Official firmware Post 2 is the guide and post 3 are the official firmwares. Look what firmware you need and google for a download link.
You do all the steps before flashing a new rom? Wiping and formatting data, caches and system?

i'm waiting for u =)
Please post your baseband version. You most likely don't have the correct modem. They specifically recommended to use or be on the XXBMD6 base before installing the rom in the Developer thread.
No Network. SHUCKS!

Hello! I have Samsung Galaxy Trend S-7562, which was probably made in Malaysia. I got it as a gift. I wanted to install KyleOpen Rom and did install but I missed to be on XXBMD6. There is no network since. Later I again downloaded and went on XXBMD6 and again installed KyleOpen Rom. But the network didn't appear. I am so frustrated. My parents are not going to buy me a new phone which is very sad.
I went to costumer care of samsung and they said they are not able to fix the problem. I think the network problem is because of the wrong Kernel and Modem I am having currently. So are there any expertise who can help me. That will be much appreciated. Thanks!

You can't just flash a rom based off of that. You need to either flash the entire firmware or you should just be able to grab the modem from the firmware, but probably best just to do the whole thing to make sure everything is set up as it is supposed to between the modem, bootloader, etc.
What should I do now?

Thank You! Vaibhav. Are you sure that it supports S7562XXBMD6 baseband? If so, the only thing I have to do is download this baseband and flash it through Odin, right (ticking the PDA) ?
Plus, In the board after removing the battery there is "S7562_C" printed. I think this my phone and there is NOT "Duos" printed on the top on right hand side on the front of my phone. I can't post the url due to some restrictions so here's the link: www (dot) techinsights(dot)com/DeviceProfileSF_AustinParts.aspx?TeardownId=1438
So can you guys assist me from the basic what should I do to get my network signal back on?
I appreciate your reply guys. Thank you very much.

So that means I can NEVER have network back again in my phone? As a "Senior Member" and all your experience what do you suggest me to do? I am so fu**ed up, mann! I just need to figure out what stock rom does it accepts with correct baseband right? Oh god!
http://nasirtech.blogspot.com/2014/01/s7562cznuana1-412-jelly-bean-firmware.html
A sign of relief.
Okay! A little sign of relief. Thank you es0tericcha0s and I will hit that "Thanks" button :laugh: Okay! So even though someone send my phone from Malaysia and I'm using it on Nepal. I should install the Chinese firmware because my phone is S-7562C, right? If Yes! I will instantly begin the download and do as instructed.
Thanks!
According to the baseband version you posted and this page here:
http://sampro.pl/firmware/android/samsung-gt-s7562/
the original firmware you had on it would have been the one from China on 4.0.4 unless you had changed that, which I am sure you would have known, but if it was working before, then it should be good to go.
Messed up.

Okay! All I did was downloaded KyleOpen ROM, flashed it and the Kernel. I lost the network here because I was NOT on XXBMD6 or whatever they wanted to be in. So i downloaded the XXBMD6 and again flashed it and installed KyleROM. Still No Network and I took it to Samsung costumer care here and i don't know what they did. I think they flashed some other firmware because, I think the baseband was not "S7562ZCMB2" before flashing KyleOpen ROM. So, do you think I/they changed my firmware? I forgot which baseband I was in. I sound like I know nothing.
