Modem issue ( I think) need help. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

To cut it short I'm still running GB but recently updated to what I think was the last update before ics ( which still hasn't shown up on my UK sim free handset). But I am figuring that the modem has changed too as my web connection is now useless. So what u am looking for is help with either a modem flash or reflashing back to GB before last GB update. Hope I have explained correctly. Thought I was readying my phone for the ics update and now its pretty much useless. Could be a while answering back ( no internet) tia.

Flashing back to stock
You can always flash back to one of the stock roms:

Or less drastic, grab another modem here to flash:

Hope it helps...
Normally I flsh back to stock, hard reset, and format SD before moving to a new rom. I know its probably over-kill, but this way I am sure there will be no left overs from a previous rom I played with.

I would have gone for modem only but I haven't a clue which one I was on before the update and there seems an awefull lot :-( . And as for the stock roms, does that mean they were the ones that were on the handsets out of the box. Sorry for all the questions, thought I was doing the right thing and now its a mess. And besides all that how dies it go wrong surely there's only one modem that lies would offer my phone? How can it go wrong.

No stock means Samsung unbranded .
Start by flashing the latest modem and work your way backwards if you do not have a record of your original specifications .
Latest is probably LPR.

[Q] Frequent wifi disconnect even after official ICS DDLP8

I've had no luck with wifi ever since I started trying out ICS builds.
So far I've restricted myself to leaked official builds. The phone just can't hold onto a damn wifi signal even when kept right next to the bloody access point.
Every few minutes it disconnects. Sucks when you're trying to download a huge update for a game.
I don't know if there's an official build out for India, I'm using DDLP8 which was marked as for Nepal. It's definitely stable, but wifi connectivity is totally useless .
I use Wifi Analyzer, and it shows up signal strength as pretty good, using automatic channels, and usually it latches onto channel 11 or 13. My other devices at home have never faced any such problem so it's definitely not a router problem.
Is there anything else to check for?
Edit: I'm using XXLPQ, not DDLP8 (which is the baseband version). My bad.
not familiar of ddlp8 as cant find it as sammobile / intratech
why dont you skip the leaked firmwares and just use the official ones.
also complete wipe your phone flash a GB stock and dont do anything else ...., no root no restores and see if it hold wifi.

It appears DDLP8 is a modem/baseband version. Not the build version. That's why you couldn't find it. But I'm just guessing. OP will have to confirm or deny that.

Yes, you're right. I am using XXLPQ for Nepal, after reading that the official Nepal build works fine on the Indian version of the S2. Sammobile still does not show any official build for India. Does this make a difference?
I saw the problem moments after I had flashed the ROM and rebooted, i.e. with a clean phone set to factory defaults (and rooted) - so I doubt it's due to any other program interfering.

Wifi drivers are in the kernel, I believe. What method did you use to root? Did you flash a kernel to achieve root? Try flashing a new kernel, or flashing a stock ICS kernel and see if your Wifi still drops after that.
Well, you can also give a try by flashing your baseband/modem itself and see it will be any better. You have few ones in this topic, all flashable via CMW :

I'm fairly certain modem/baseband has NOTHING to do with wifi, so I'll have to disagree with you on the possibility of it fixing his problem.

I could be mistaken (I will admit that), but I have changed modem/baseband and seen no effect on wifi. I have changed kernels, and seen HUGE effect on wifi. So that's just my experience.

Ok, thanks for your links mate, at least i ve learned something. So, he can also give a try by testing different kernels then.
still having issues, you have to do some work..... flashing kernels is not the solution! it should work as is!
1: using cwm format system, cache, data, dalvik
2: flash one of the newer GB Stock Roms get one from intratech, using odin.
3: dont root just see if it works without doing anything, keep it stock. no restores nothing
if it works, it will work on ICS too now.

Well, if you re-read some of the posts above, he said he rooted, but didn't say HOW he rooted. If he rooted by flashing a kernel, then that could be what is screwing with his wifi, depending on WHICH kernel he used. So flashing a different kernel MAY actually solve his problem.
To my experience this problem is most likely related to the kernel you are using. The latest siyah kernel supposingly rectifies this issue. Why dont you give it a try?
I did and saw a big difference...

[Q] Screwed up brand new SGS2 and a bit puzzled now

Hi all,
My gf got a new SGS2. It was branded with Play Poland and it was running v2.3.3 of Android.
I thought I would flash it to CM9 ICS nightly like mine (it was bought in France can't remember if it was branded or not).
I first flash the CM9 resurrection and then flash the same nightly as on my phone (20120524). But on her phone I had strange problems like wifi would connect but not get access to the internet (my SGS2 was fine on the same network), very low GSM signal etc. I thought it could be a modem issue so I flashed to LPS but nothing changed.
I eventually reflashed but with DarkyROM resurrection based on GGB KL1. In the installation infos thread (which I cannot link to because I dont have 8 posts), it said to use the .pit and the PDA, which I did.
Since then it is stuck on the black and white GT-i9100 screen with a yellow /!\ and won't boot into GGB anymore. I can get into download but not into recovery. Custom binary in download shows 2.
I don't want to aggravate the problem anymore and I don't know what to do now... I hate myself so much for not backing up the original ROM. I thought I wouldn't need to because there was no personal data on the phone. And now I don't know where to get a copy of the original branded image for the whole phone to bring it back to life.
Please advise.
It was bought in France and you didnt even check to make sure it was the I9100 international.
Take the back cover off, remove the battery and check the info.
Please please dont flash one custom rom on top of another custom rom when things are obviously going wrong.
Check out this thread and read a few more while your at it please.

Download the stock firmware (there is a thread on this site for it) and flash using Odin on your PC. There are plenty of guides around for it. If you can get into download mode this should work.

My french SGS2 is fine, it's the Polish SGS2 that's having trouble.
There are no warnings regarding local versions and I assumed that a GT-I9100 was like any other one; one difference would be in the software hence my mistake. I was obviously wrong.
I thought that maybe the CSC didn't match (I didn't check before as I assumed all localisation was software) but couldn't do anything about it.

Looking back, I think the stupidest things was to go from branded gingerbread to custom ice cream sandwich and back to custom gingerbread (with .pit) because apparently you cannot go back and forth between GGB and ICS
I go back and forth between gb and ics all the time, no probz.. I never touch odin thou

@OP what comes to my mind is that you corrupted your efs folder content. That will require you sending your phone in.

I have had similar issue and told samsung it happend while i was updating. They emailed me a postage, had my phone back 2 weeks. But seems like it should not be a tough fix. I also go between gb and ics frequently and have no prob.
efs corruption sucks
I can't send it in, it has the yellow /!\ on boot and hangs on it...
If I flash a stock kernel, the /!\ will disappear and I can send it in maybe?
Hi,
There are several official firmware packages listed on this thread for Poland: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I did a quick scan, and found XXKE4, XXKF2, XXKG2, but it's a huge thread, so there are probably lots more.
The thread also has a good guide for flashing/rebuilding using ODIN.
Hope that helps.
Hmmm so with the help of a friend we managed to put it back on stock ICS XXLPB.
But I still have this weird radio bug. I have two phones sitting next to each other, on the same network.
The weird SGS2 has 1 bar and the other phone has full bars. Same goes for wifi, both SGS2 on the same network within 10 cm of each other.
They both get full reception but the weird SGS2 cannot access the internet or any other device on the network.
Although it has a correct IP and I can see it connected on the router.
I am at a complete loss.
You don't have to flash Poland firmware specifically. You can flash any stock firmware via Odin, choose the latest non-Frankenstein version. If you can get your phone into download mode, which you should be able to.

Wrong config in router caused the wifi mess. No idea why only the Polish SGS2 was affected.
All seems well now, its running CM9 nightly like mine and I'm proceeding to configuring it.

[Q] Bought an used phone and don´t know what root.

Hi guys I am kind of new to this forum and really like all the website with so much information !
I am turning to you because because my friend wanted to buy an SGS 2 and bought one from some random guy whom he has no contact with.
The problem is now that the phone seems to be rooted because there is an yellow triangle that follows in the start up. I wonder if anyone knows how to see what kind of room is installed on the phone? I ask this because because the phone has been unlocked with the simunlock app but
the network connection is so bad, I´ve managed to make 1-2 calls to see that the phone works but i get max 1/5 bars in the connection barometer.
This made me think that maybe the root is bad performed by the guy that did flash the device from the begining.
If you guys have any kind of tweaks or ideas what to do I would really appreciate it.
I gathered some information that might help. This is taken from t he status menu in the galaxy S2.
Would it maybe help to restore everything to stock?

Root has no impact on signal strength.
But if you want to revert to stock, just download original firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmware, unpack and flash via Odin in PDA.

The ROM you use has no effect on your signal strength. The modem however, does. So you can try flashing a new modem if you're fine with the ROM besides the signal problems. ie.the UI, features offered, etc. Else you can flash your stock firmware for your region and that would solve your problem

Thanks a lot for the answers ! I´ve already tried to switch to gsm mode, dosn´t get any better. I will try to flash to a different modem but I have a few questions. Does it matter wich modem is current on my phone before i flash to another?
And if someone could point me in the right direction about wich modem I should use for my region, I live in sweden and use a swedish sim card and operator.

No.
For Sweden I think it will be I9100XXLQ6.
If you got the phone from a totally unknown person, i would suggest to revert it back to complete stock, and then start making all the changes you want from scratch, just to be 100% safe.
I agree i´ll flash everything back to stock and start from the begining, I think it´s the best way. But 19100XXLQ6 is the modem that my phone says I have, does that mean that I´am on stock baseband?`Otherwise if someone could show me a link or something for a step to step guide of how to restore everything back to stock.
Thanks a lot for your help guys !
Look backup your efs folder before you start pissi g about with stuff.
Then go to that link and get a 4.0.3 stock firmware for your region.
Then come back here and you can be advised about like siyah kernel/nand backups/roms.

[Q] "La'Fleur" ROM after emergency recovery with kies

Hello!
After flashing many custom ROMs and leaks my phone was acting a little funky, so I decided to go back to factory stock. I fired up kies on my pc and went to "Emergency recovery" It asked me for my serial number (I thought this was for getting the right stock firmware) After everything was done the phone booted up normally but I ended up with a "La'Fleur" boot logo
All I wanted was my stock firmware (Without having to look for the firmware, modem,etc myself) I though kies would do a better job than me :silly:
Sigh...
Any of you experienced this before?
Same problem here
Dont know how this happens...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Kies gives you the firmware that matches your serial number. So, your phone originally has this firmware, or an earlier version of it, i.e. your phone was branded.
If you don't like it get the latest unbranded firmware for your region from sammobile.com and flash with odin.

Well it's suposed to work like that... but my phone is the plain gray international version. That's why it's so funny to me. I created this thread to see if some other people were having this issue as well and it seems so.
Anyway, it worked for me because it restored the stock modem and cleaned the whole nand. As soon as I saw that "La'Fleur" logo, I wiped it and threw CM 10.1 at it. Working great so far.
My point is, Samsung should do better (as usual, with everything) at keeping their records.
Well, none of us know what happend. Could be the carrier originally planned to carry this model, bought it from Samsung, and later changed their mind and sold it to a third party.
Nothing to show Samsung's records are wrong.

Well, I bought mine at a retail store, unlocked and without any carrier bloatware. Just to point out "La'Fleur" is a special edition of galaxy devices featuring a special 'floral' design paint coat, that Samsung released for valentines; with ROM customization to match the design. As with mine being the plain grey version and using the 'official' method to get the stock ROM, I think I'm pretty safe to say that there's something wrong going somewhere at Samsung.
This is exactly what I was trying to avoid downloading the firmware, modem, etc and flashing it myself, getting something different than the one that came when I first took it out of the box... And this is exactly what I got using Samsung's method. LOL :laugh:

[Help] Come back to Stock... Freeze, lag,... problem...

Hello,
First, Sorry for my english.. I am native french speaker.
Here is my problem.
I put / test many roms and now, I want to go back to stock rom because I want to sell the phone.
So I follow many topics and I always have the same problem.
In fact, I had the same problem with Sammy roms.
After flash the stock rom (France version), i follow the android setup without configuring any account... all is ok.
But After that, When I come into the home screen, all is very slow, lag !!
It crashs or the system is hanging, rebooting,...
If I want to unlock the screen, it's impossible because it's freeze.
I follow many topics about SDS, ... but i'm not satisfied with those topics BECAUSE When I install the Paranoid Android Beta 3, ALL is perfect !!!
No freeze, no lag,....
My problem is I f I want to sell the phone, I must come back to stock ... so How Can I do this ?
I know that stock rom is very buggy but When I buy the phone, I don't have problem with the stock Rom.
I had recieved 4.3 from my provider Proximus (Belgium) and no problem.
I can't go back to this firmware because on Sam, the belgium rom available for download is the 4.0 version ..
Thank you.
Try find a 3 file package and reflash stock rom (don't worry about country yet) then if everything works fine, wipe data and cache in stock recovery and flash French version

I've already downloaded that modem but I was not sure that I just have to flash that only file.
I will try when I have Time...
So... I've tried many differents things but it's always the same result.
If I put the belgian stock Rom (proximus), All is perfect BUT I'm in 4.0 version and there is no update available.
I've tried the Dutch, French, Luxembourg version (in 4.0 , 4.1 or 4.3) and the results are the same. It's very very slow, laggy,....
When I want to unlock the screen, it takes much time and after I received an error message like Process System doesn't respond'....
Even If I put the belgian one before and then, an other in 4.3.... all become very slow.
I don't understand where is the problem.
When I bought the phone, I've received an 4.3 update BUT What was the firmware version ???
The phone was bought in Mediamarkt in Belgium... maybe, it was not the belgian firmware ?!?
Unfortunately,I have the same bug. My phone flies with AOSP,but with stock ROMs,it's laggy,slow,and everything. Not that much,but still is. Also,going back to stock ROM made my camera laggy for ever. Not matter which ROM,my camera drops FPS when recording.
I hate this.

Hello,
First, Sorry for my english.. I am native french speaker.
Here is my problem.
I put / test many roms and now, I want to go back to stock rom because I want to sell the phone.
So I follow many topics and I always have the same problem.
In fact, I had the same problem with Sammy roms.
After flash the stock rom (France version), i follow the android setup without configuring any account... all is ok.
But After that, When I come into the home screen, all is very slow, lag !!
It crashs or the system is hanging, rebooting,...
If I want to unlock the screen, it's impossible because it's freeze.
I follow many topics about SDS, ... but i'm not satisfied with those topics BECAUSE When I install the Paranoid Android Beta 3, ALL is perfect !!!
No freeze, no lag,....
My problem is I f I want to sell the phone, I must come back to stock ... so How Can I do this ?
I know that stock rom is very buggy but When I buy the phone, I don't have problem with the stock Rom.
I had recieved 4.3 from my provider Proximus (Belgium) and no problem.
I can't go back to this firmware because on Sam, the belgium rom available for download is the 4.0 version ..
Thank you.

Its most probably u are using the MK6 firmware cos it is pretty buggy.(Forgot which firmware was it tat was buggy but I think it was MK6) Also, when the phone just get factory resetted, it is pretty normal for it to lag as it is installing all the apps etc.
Pretty normal... It seems very strange because When I've bought the phone, I didn't have those problems.
AND If I put the belgian firmware, I don't have any problem BUT I am in 4.0
As far I know, latest ROM for GT-I9300 XEF (French) is NA5, not MK6
This is the 2nd 4.3 Touchwiz Rom which is supposed to perform much better than the 1st r4.3 elease (MK6)
According to some report I read, NA5 implements TRIM much better and is (finally !) quick.

MK6 was the best firmware ever for me. Battery and performance was amazing.
I tried NA5 later,and that was one of the most laggy stock ROMs I have ever tried.
I've already tried those last firmware and all are very slow and laggy...
I don't understand where is the problem.
I can see the problem directly after I've installed the firmware.
When I am in the setup wizard, If it's lag there.... so, there is a problem.
Setup wizard will be laggy in every rom, especially stock. Try having some patience.
Finish the setup and restart the phone, then use it for a few days before you decide it lags.

And do you have an explanation to the fact that when You Buy a new phone (the s3 here), there is NO lag, no problem....
The problem come when you want to come back to stock rom...

Most probably as when the phone is downloading ur old apps and restoring data etc when u do/finish the set up wizard, it lags as it has difficulties processing all those with just 1GB of ram.

Three options:
1 you are too fussy
2 you've done something wrong
3 your phone has a hardware fault
