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!

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)

Hey guys !
To begin with, I have searched and searched and have not been able to get help.
Phone stats :
Model GT - I9100
Android - 2.3.5
Baseband:
XXKI4
The problem is, I turn on wifi, it scans, then turns off. I have tried adding a wifi and it comes up "unable to save the network".
I got this phone 2 days ago from a friend.
Mac address and IP address are listed as "Unavailable" in advances settings.
PLEASE HELP!
Tried a hard reset?
Thanks for a quick reply !
I have tried:
Power button and home button (holding)
Factory reset. (Home + Power + Volume up)
Are either of them classified as a "hard reset"
I'm sorry, I am very new to android and have just moved over from apple. Not looking to go back just hoping to clear up this issue !
Yeah, that's one way to do one.
You should try updating your device. Your firmware is pretty outdated.
Either with KIES (crap software, but simple - you know, just like iOS ;-) ) or Odin/Heimdall (little harder, but works for sure).
Tell me if you need help.
Hey, updated to ICS using odin after researching all about roms and kernals and what not.
It did fix the issue of the phone constantly in a loop of turning itself off (HOORAY). Wifi is still not working
Then try a Rom that isn't based on Samsung's. Flash the resurrection edition of CM9 via Odin and after that the latest nightly via cwm. It's worth a shot, as CM comes with its own kernel and such.
If it's working under CM it was some sort of software fault and we can try to figure it out (unless you want to stick with CM).
If it doesn't, it looks like a hardware fault and I cannot help you.

Contrary to popular belief, the signal bar does not show an accurate description of your network signals. It may show you the signal strength of the nearest tower.
The reason you're getting the "out of service" sign is because you ARE out of service. You're not in range of your telecom provider's signals. Try someone else's SIM (who is on another network) and you'll see that everything works perfectly!

I have pretty much the same issue... Since i moved to JB, It happens that I can't hear anything. Sometimes The other side hears me, but most of the time not.
Sometimes a Reboot helps, sometimes a reflash of the modem (all versions tried) helps... but this works only for a random time span... then it bugs again.
My provider is Swisscom and I never had signal problems in my home. Definitively no provider problem since all the other mobile phones work in this area.
Now I'm looking for the stock ROM to flash... maybe this will help...

Hello,
I had this problem with the DBT version. You seem to have NEE which I have now.
I bought my S3 from Germany and live in Sweden.
CSC I had was DBT and I flashed it to NEE which is for Sweden.
CSC
You need to flash yours with TUR version and do a factory reset.

ODIN 3.07
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Open Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power) then Volume Up
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
I hope that solves the problem.
When I flashed I used Samsung Kies drivers.
Install latest Samsung Kies and uninstall it but keep the drivers.
The factory reset I mean is Home + Volume Up + Power

Hi there!
I know I'm new to here, but not new to android, flashing, etc...
So I recently bought a Galaxy S3 international version (GT-I9300).
I tried to update it's software with KIES, and it stopped on 61%.
KIES tried to flash the newest 4.0.4 (UK) firmware (I9300XXBLG8).
I got the .tar.md5 file out of temporary directory and flashed it manually from ODIN. It booted normally, but i had (have) no network signal. When I turned it on it requested my PIN but when I entered it, the phone doesn't connected to my carrieer's network. My phone is unlocked (checked it with galaxsim), and my IMEI number doesn't changed or corrupted. (Checked under the battery). I live in Hungary and my carrieer is T-Mobile. Tried hard reset, wipe.
Can anybody please help me to solve this problem?
Thank you very much in advance.
Tom
Hi Tom ,
it happened that I had a bit of a similar problem before ( not with my Current International S3 but with my older Xperia neo v ) , after flashing a new ROM something went wrong and I had lost network , tried everything possible but it wouldn't do anything.
my solution was flashing back to my previous ROM , so I highly recommend to you to flash back using your NANDROID backup ( I hope you made one before Flashing... ) or you can try another ROM / or even RE-flash your current ROM but pay more attention this time and make sure nothing goes wrong , and also make sure you do a factory reset , Cache wipe and Dalvik cache Wipe before you flash it just to make sure everything is clean.
I hope this helps , and if I helped you by any way possible don't hesitate and press the Thanks button on your LEFT :good:
Cheers

Bad news, I don't really know what my original firmware was, so I can just try Kangburra's tip... I have 25 min waiting time on hotfile.com, I will the download the latest 4.1.1 unbranded firmware, which has PDA I9300XXDLIH and CSC I9300PHEDLI1. I will write about the results ASAP.

It seems you misunderstood me... I have absolutely no network signal from my carrier :/
Update: Okay the last 4.1.1 mentioned before is not working. Now it sees my network just doesn't register on it. Will try I9300XXALE8_I9300OXFALE5_XEH now.
Found something: All of ROMs installed I'm seem to be reachable. My friend ringed me from his mobile and IT WAS RINGING. If I turned off my mobile, it was not ringing of course. So what the hell is this?
Hey Guys,
First time poster.. so please don't flame me...eh!..LOL
I have searched and better searched without success to my question..
I would like to revert back to JB 4.1.2 on my S3 which is SIM locked to T-Mobile UK, would I need to ROOT the phone beforehand or can I just use Odin and the relevant stock firmware.
would this affect the IMEI and the EFS folder that would make the phone unusable?.
if the procedure is straightforward would I be able to revert back to perhaps 4.1.1 (which would allow me to unlock the SIM myself..).
Hope I have made some sense with my first post..
cheers for any help guys...
4.3 changed your efs to v2. You cannot go back to 4.1.1 unless you have an efs backup from before you upgraded (an efs v1 backup).
Going back to 4.1.2 will work provided you use a firmware EMGx or later (efs v2).
Follow the guides in general stickies on how to flash stock using odin, root afterward with CF auto root.
There are many threads on efs changes, efs 'know this stuff' in particular.

Do you mean this firmware I9300XXEMG4

cancel all that... I have managed to flash my s3 with the I9300XXEMG4 firmware..... and truth be told I was crapping myself when the phone kept looping on the logo screen.... I did a factory reset and cleared the cache.....all is working.....
just a quick update...
My phone is working fine and dandy with the 4.1.2 stock firmware.... I have also discovered that the SIM is unlocked (or was not locked to begin with), tried a Tesco mobile SIM in it last night and it worked fine, was not asked to input unlocking code for it!
result all round..... :laugh:
You help me too. Thx.
So guys, please explain this to me.
After I did an update to 4.3 the efs was changed. I was ok with that, until my hard drive died and I had lost 4.1.2 backup and so, I can't restore my efs.
The problem is: Can i downgrade to I9300XXEMG4 without problems? I mean, I will not have IMEI and network signal problems? I did flashed some 4.3 roms, but I'm not satisfied with them.
after effect in this downgrading process on my s3
I have upgraded from 4.1.2 XXEMH4 to 4.3 GMJ9 VDI first. liked that very much, display battery backup[battery doctor] was on my phone but drains quickly though in reality with lag issue. i found few things in 4.3:
1. time lag,
2. emulated drive
3. IMEI shows correctly but its SW ver shows 11 instead original 01
there were dozens of good features over above these aforementioned issues.
Sometimes wanted to use Samsung's Indian keyboard, downgraded therefore back to xxemh(4.1.2)..
Problems I found,
a. IMEI shows correctly with original SW version 01 but mobile shuts down suddenly quite frequently.
b. my csc becomes unknown while typing *#1234#
c. Both USB and UART options change to modem every phone boots
d. rooted and found csc folder is missing
e. wifi gpars work but Bluetooth can not be turned ON it becomes gray . sometimes phone hangs when I try to put it ON. it restarts automatically at times.
f. phone lags just like that of 4.3
is there any method settle problems of a., c., e. and f.??

--CSC folder has been recovered this way in the process: re-flashed 4.3 (swc) on existing 4.1.2 (xxemh4), sw version of imei changes to version 11 however IMEI remains same, them flashed another itv (4.1.2) as explained in another thread. I lost imei as it becomes 049....
then I flashed back to my country's 4.1.2 (xxemh4). got IMEIand its sw version correctly and my CSC folder also.
EVERYTIME I FLASH I DO FACTORY RESET AND CACHE WIPE compulsorily FROM stock recovery 3(e)

I HAVE BEEN READING A LOT SINCE LAST FIVE DAYS, basics of flashing I guess I know as i have been doing this since 2009[Samsung Bada on GT-S6353]. I use only stock recovery and stock roms. my problems now reduce to:
1. Bluetooth non functional- can not make it ON. When I slide Bluetooth button to make it ON, phone either hangs and restarts automatically or Bluetooth button goes back original OFF position
2. phone's utilities reset to modem automatically [both UART & USB]. I check this when my s3 can not connect to pc or kies to reload my contacts on s3. This is checked by typing *#7284# and I need to set it UART => MODEM & USB => PDA. But these two setting reset to MODEM automatically whenever I check at later stage [when i found pc doesn't recognise s3].
3. phone lags just like 4.3 even in 4.1.2 [xxemh4]
I will do flashing again! Thanks once again!

Use this link and flash with "I9300XXEMG4_KOR_MULTI_FACTORY". That's the method I followed!
Everything is normal. Then I flashed my country's FW using Odin in PDA mode only!
