So i was trying to Root my Samsung and I think i miss-understood the operations and processes.
Samsung Galaxy S2
Kernel 2.3.6
Downloaded SGH-I777-ATTGalaxyS2RootStockZedomaxKernel.tar
Installed, no problems, all good, but no wifi... freaking out.
Searched the Forum... found there was an issue.
Attempted to reload the stock kernel StockKernel-PDA.tar
Installed, no problems, back to 2.6.35.7 Gingerbread.UCKK6
But Wifi will not enable....
Kinda freaking out as Dont understand how the Zedomax and Stockkernel are 6/8mb... but the rest of the post are talking about a 200/300mb file which needs to be downloaded...
Just looking for help on how to get back WiFi?...
read thru: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1286432
...If you bootloop or things behave wacky, enter 3e recovery (stock kernel means stock recovery) and do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset. If you are reverting from UCKK6 back to UCKH7 you MUST perform this step or wifi will not work.
I Did not go from UCKK6 to UCKH7... i don't think?? So any help on what i need to do would be awesome!
AT&T is the carrier.
Also without having to 100% wipe and re-install.
You need to find the "Return to stock" thread and go from there.
Zedo's kernel is ancient, it will not provide wifi with UCKK6 system images.
Only my kernel, the UCKK6 stock kernel, and (maybe, not sure) SiyahKernel will provide wifi with UCKK6.
Kernels are <8 MB. 300MB = full kernel and system image restore.
My guess is you flashed a UCKH7 stock kernel.
Found a return to stock thread and it mentions a RUU_Ace_Cingular_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_2 6.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe as well as a pd98img.zip which are also both 290MB...
Found another thread for Official i9100 Firmwares KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK1/2/5, KL1/2/3, LA2 Download but none are for USA/AT&T.
There are a LOT of thread on this and i have been reading thru as many as i can...
If the Stock Kernel or Entropy512 Stock kernel File name or description can be posted i can do the update thru odin...
On the Zedomax, i saw that after i flashed... never blindly trust youtube =(

Of the items you mentioned, NONE are for this device.
I suggest searching a bit more methodically - look in this forum subsection, and look at the sticky threads in the General and Development forums. Threads are made sticky for a reason.
Hello ALL!!! Thank you for your help...
Using the StockKernel-PDA.tar and the wifi.zip system/etc/wifi conf files and that worked!!!!!!!

You are in the wrong forum. Please go ask your question in the I9100 forum.
I just flashed another rom based on android 2.3.6 and now everything works.

Seriously, if someone can't distinguish which phone they actually own or what forum they should be in, why are they even trying to flash it? What is wrong with some people?

SHOstock2 v1.3 works well with WiFi if you want a custom ROM (ICS).
I was using UnNamed v2.2.1 and it was very stable, but I wanted to try Ics, so I'm now using the AOKP 4.0.4 but I'm having issues with the Gps, still doing some tests, if I dont find any, then I'll move to SHOstock2 v1.3

Sounds like it could be hardware failure. To test that, flash back to straight stock followed by a wipe data/factory reset from 3e recovery. If the problem persists, then it is either a problem with your phone hardware, or a problem with the available wifi router signal. You can test the latter by trying to connect on different routers.

Thanks for your response.
I dont want to belive that my hardware is broken.
But i flashed again my SGH-I777, and the problem persists.
My wifi just says "Turning on" when I push button, and it never boosts again.
I changed the kernel and the rom. I restored to old factory settings, and nothing works.
I would like to get back my wifi.
i appreciate your opinions about this issue.
WIFI suddenly stopped
My WIFI also suddenly stopped working
on 7-1-13 I installed aokp_i777_ota-eng-task650_6.24.2013 worked for a month
Yesterday the WIFI stopped connecting. Got a constant "Turning on Wi-Fi" message but nothing else
I installed aokp_JB_i777-ota-eng.task650-ktoonsez-11.20.2012 which I had been running for the last 6 months
Same problem
I did a full wipe. Wiped cache, data, dalvik. Did a fresh install, then wiped cache, dalvik and fix permissions.
Same
a i9100 thread linked a video of a leaking battery inside that disabled wifi
took phone apart, no obvious signs of hardware failure (have pics)
used odin3 v1.85 with ATTGalaxyS2Unroot_SGH-i777.tar to unroot
wifi will turn on scan for a minute then turn off -- will not find any AP
router working fine with my other i777
anything i missed?
My wifi is working fine

hey brother, first of all, your wifi is not damage fisically. But you are in the same situation that i was.
my SGH-I777 is working very well after too much work with it.
i gave my cellphone to my little brother, and two days later he told that the wifi was working fine.
i made this face O_O i couldnt believe what he was saying.
right now i dont know, how he resolved the problem, the only things that he did was change the OS i guess.
i will call him tomorrow to ask about the solutions, but man, dont worry too much coz you just like my brother, will resolve the problem
It is not hardware...
found another thread that suggests FXR WiFi fixer app from play store.
Ran it on the the AOKP JB 4.1.2 from 11.20.20102
seemed to solve issue -- connected to wifi but lost connection after ~30 min
same issue -- constant "Turning WiFi on" message.
ran FXR again -- connects temporarily then loses connectivity
same thing every time i run FXR
should i use a different ROM?
which one?
any help is GREATLY appreciated
Thanks

You could ask in the AOKP thread if there are others experiencing wifi issues with that rom. If not, a fresh install of the rom may solve the issue. It definitely sounds like a firmware issue, but when there is any question whether the issue is firmware or hardware, the test is to flash back to stock and see how it works. As far as which firmware to use, there are a number of different firmware that are completely stable. You should read through the developer threads, and then try them out to see how you like them.
Hi,
I've updated the phone to the newer firmware from KIES, and the phone was connected to the WIFI network but signal connection keeps switching on and off, is there anyway to fix this issue so I can have a stable connection?
Have test with my iPhone and Ipad, both connectect to the same WIFI and only my samsung S3 having this problem.
PS: WIFI power saver mode is already <<off >>, keep Wifi on during Sleep mode is set to <<always>>, Network notification is <<un-tick>>
This is my current ROM (Rooted)
AP: I9300BUBLG3
CP: I9300BULG2
CSC: I9300VFGBLG3
settting > wireless & network > more > mobile network > automatic connections > sprint connection optimizer.. unchecked?
This is the international version is Samsung S3, I can't find such settings.

I had the same issue when I reverted to stock. I thought it was this and that but really, all I did was
Backed up everything
Well mine was rooted and stuff so I triangled away the flash counter, probally dont need that if your on stock anyways
I wiped everything from the phones settings, back and restore, reset
I then booted up in recovery, doesnt matter if you are cwm or stock recovery, wipe again plus cache
Now I loaded up Odin and flash the original stock rom for my phone, I waited till it was complete, I then updated it through settings till I got to the latest update and then started reinstalling my apps from google play store or whenever else I had apps. So far all is well and no wifi issues.
Other advise would be instead of all the above, wait for another update or flash a new modem. That also worked for me when I was running another countries stock rom, Bad wifi, so I flashed my countries modem and it was fine! so good luck!
go to dialler
*#0011# will take you into Service Mode
click on menu
click on wifi
you will see a button that says "on" click on it
it will say off this stops the wifif connect/dis-connect problem.
If you shut down your phone you have to reset it to off.

Sorry I don't have BT Home HUB 3, my connection is very simple, just connecting the S3 to a DrayTek Vigor2710Vn Router via Wifi. Please let me know the result after you flash with a new modem. If is working, please provide the link and file name where you got your file so I can flash it too.
Thanks!!!!
***By the way, what ROM version are you using at the moment? Please provide your AP, CP and CSC details if is different to my S3. ***
Repeat Modem has nothing to do with WiFi.

I had the exact same issue, but ONLY after rooting the device (which I did just a day or two after I got it). I tried every possible fix, flashed new roms 3 or 4 times, wiped data and everything else in recovery, but no luck.
However, my final solution was to simply follow a guide to unroot the device, which I did today - and it did indeed work, I guess this issue is mainly happening to rooted phones, for unknown reason. Until I know this is fixed with an update (maybe in 4.1 JB), I won't be rooting this device again.
Link to guide on how to unroot
Are there actually people who can't fix it like me?
Also done everything I possible could but never got wifi working again.
Returned it to Samsung. I unrooted it and flashed the firmware again with KIES.
The day after there was also an official update for the BENELUX I guess. Also updated this with KIES.
So is it still possible they see that the modem was changed?

Yeah as the guy above me said, you always have to reset the flash counter before unrooting (as this requires superuser access).
If you don't do this, it's easy to see the phone has been modified in either download mode or by checking status in settings.
After successfully unrooting you'll also have to re-enter CWM recovery and wipe data+cache.
After doing this you'll see the device being "normal" and it should show "stock" in download mode.

Forgot to mention it but I did this yes.
I also think KIES would not update when this is not a zero.
Hey there!
Before anyone asks, I have done the following.
Searched on google/XDA for solutions
Flashed different ROM's
Changed Kernels
Wiped all cache
Did factory Reset
I am currently having bad network problems with my phone.
I am running JellyBam 6.7.0 with default kernel.
Baseband: XXLQ6
Problem
I constently get No Service or "Emergency Calls only" in areas that I've never had emergency calls in. I am not aware of my old modem or RIL, and so am completely lost of what to go from here as I haven't found posts that could help my issue.
When I reboot my phone, turn airplane mode on, or just randomly it will go into the stage above, to where it will stay without signal for 10 minutes up to days (I've had it go for 2 days with no signal). When I try to search for networks (In places where there is 100% a network) it will say "error searching for network".
I have no idea what to do, and am rather scared. There have been 2 emergency situations to where I needed a phone, and yet mine had no signal.
My second question, is if I manage to get it back to stock ICS (4.0.4) and do all the updates through KIES, will I get the original modem + RIL back as well as the ROM? Or will I still need to flash that myself.
TLDR: If I reset it back completely to stock ICS, will everything that I have done (root, flash modems, flash kernels etc...) be erased.
Thanks so much for reading, I've got so much stress rigt now.
Are you getting no service all the time or only intermittently ? Also, check your IMEI in settings/about phone to see if it's the generic one (0049.....), whatever you do tho don't post your actual IMEI here. Just a yes/know answer to the 'is it the generic one' question will do.
If it's a constant thing, call your carrier to check if it's been IMEI blocked. If it's intermittent, flash a stock ICS rom as you'd suggested. You'll end up with whatever modem/baseband is attached to the rom you flash, and yes, you'll lose root & the kernel you're currently running will be replaced by the stock kernel in the rom you flash.

Yes it's only intermittent, so not a problem with the IMEI.
So if I find, and download stock ICS to bring it to factory it should be fine? If I were to, let's say, flash the ICS onto the phone, is there any way to keep the RIL+ Baseband and flash back JB? Or when flashing JB, will it replace whatever RIL+Baseband is attached with the ROM.
Also, thanks for the quick reply. I was expecting days for a response.
Forget about JB/custom roms/anything else until or unless you get your phone working normally again. Flash an ICS stock rom for your region.
And forget about the current RIL/baseband. It sounds like it may well be the cause of the problems you're having; quite possible if you've been mucking around with different RIL's in particular. Pretty sure I said in my PP that you'll end up with whatever baseband is lumped in with the stock rom you flash.
Actually, you might want to stick with a stock rom specific to your carrier if there is one, at least that way you know the modem/baseband will more than likely have been tested by your carrier & is likely to work well with it unless there are other issues (carrier side connectivity issues or other problems with your phone).
As to whether doing this will fix your issues, no idea. At the moment, and in the absence of any clue as to what's causing your issues, it's the best option you've got. If it doesn't fix the problems, then it's probably a carrier-side issue (possible given it only happens at certain times/in certain locations) or a physical problem with the phone (less likely).

I'm having problems to what official ROM to use from the list.
The only one on the list is Optus, but my phone is with virgin (on the optus network) should that be fine?
The rom is I9100XWLP8
Once again many thanks! I'll update you with the progress.
Yep. Flash the Optus rom given you're effectively using their network & see what happens.

Just downloaded it (Hotfile takes forever) and flashed through odin.
Worked fine after a factory reset. However, Kies won't update my phone.
Network seems to running smooth, so we'll see how it goes. The more things I do, I guess the more things I can rule out.
EDIT:
I updated the phone, and I get the message "Unfortunately, Application installer has stopped". What am I supposed to do?
Factory reset

That didn't work.
Anyhow, I managed to track down a 4.0.4 variant of the ROM I was using, and made sure the CSC, PDA and Baseband all matched up with what Kies wanted, and flashed it. I think the error occured I was trying to update a ROM with the wrong CSC and Baseband to one with the correct ones and Kies didn't like that.
Hi,
Firstly thanks for time and sorry if this is a noob question but I only have a fairly small amount of experience regarding custom roms.
Here goes...
I have changed the rom on my phone about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had a problem. I have the latest version of teamwin and I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 50.0 by mike1986. This rom works great as have all the other I have used in the past ie Cyanogenmod, Omega etc but the problem I am having is over the last 4 months I am completely losing network and even if I try to search for a mobile operator my phone can't find any unless I run a full power cycle.
I have been reading as much online mainly xda-developers to find a solution to this problem but I'm afraid I'm now just running into a brick wall. I understand this could just be a hardware fault but I have read somewhere that I may have the wrong modem installed for my phone.
How likely is this? Can having the wrong modem cause intermittent problems? Also if this is the case where the I find a tutorial on correcting this issue. Plus which modem should I be using in the UK?
Again thanks for you time and any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Do a full wipe and flash the latest stock firmware for your country, then factory reset.
Test fully before you install or restore anything. If it is still the same then probably hardware.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
ok, Will do. I am just waiting for the UK stock firmware to download. I left it downloading while I was out this afternoon and for some reason it failed and now is asking me to wait an hour before retrying
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks
ok..
I managed to get hold of the stock firmware from another site. I first installed a version of ICS so I could run triangle away properly after rooting with CF auto root as without doing this I couldn't reset my binary counter even after flashing stock recovery. Then I installed the latest version of JB and ran the official Samsung update to get my phone up to the very latest Official software with device status official.
So now my phone is completely back to if it just came out of the box. I finished late last night and installed nothing but WhatsApp. Then at about 3pm today again I completely lost network and couldn't restore in without a full power cycle. Even searching for Network operators in settings couldn't restore the connection. I can't think of anything else to try.
Any ideas what to try next please?
P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6
the same i9300 problem

P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6

This is exactly the issue I have now - I can get some signal, but can't get anything in terms of using 3G/Mobile data :/

My phone is a international variant, made in Vietnam, i also tryed to flash 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4, so then i can flash MG4 modem which can still read the modified EFS...if it is modified, but didn't work.., i think i need to send the phone to a gsm/service, but maybe you guys can help me without cost me money..

thx man, i hope someone knows how can i solve the problem.
What had you done before you got to this issue of no cellular signal?
Did you flash a custom ROM etc..? Which version were you on before? 4.3?
What did you do after you found out about this issue? Did you by any chance flash an older version?
Because that tends to do that, atleast that's what happened to me.
I had a wrong/fake IMEI ("0049..."), which caused that I had no cell reception and couldn't use the phone to call or send/receive sms etc...
I googled a lot and I tried some of the TUT on the web, but nothing helped. Until I found a thread on the xda that said one could try to flash a newer stock ROM (don't know the exact thread).
So I went ahead and checked the version I was on...luckily it was 4.0.4
I then downloaded a newer stock ROM 4.3 for my region and flashed that using ODIN...once it passed I went to recovery: wiped cache and factory reset.
and voila...when I checked the IMEI code again, it was back to the original one.
If that doesn't help check the following thread on xda: here
I suspect he allowed the battery to run out, which corrupted the efs partition, as he says his phone was on 4.3 and didn't change anything until after the problem happened.
Flashing latest stock firmware is the first step, as suggested above, but I think the OP may have to pay for a repair. Make sure it works on 4.3 before you accept the bill.
I forgot to say, my battery got bigger before that happened, i can't fit it in my phone, is double than a normal one, i buy other battery, have this something to deal with the problem?

I was on 4.3 version, i didn't do nothing, i even not installed the root/cwm....the problem appeared from nothing...right before i change my battery. I tried with my region stock rom (4.1.2;romania) and with 4.3 stock ROM but didn't work.
Today i let the phone on a service....i told her what is the problem and i hope there's nothing to do with motherboard. Anyway, please let me know if there's something else to do while i wait 3-4 days for the answer

That's not good...bulging/expanding battery is a very bad thing and should be replaced asap.
Why it happens, is another thing...could be due to various reason such as thermal runaway or even acid leakage.
Fix that first before you move to any flashing and/or other stuff...

I already replaced it.
Fixed
Hi everybody, i finally sent the phone to service and they fixed it for 17€; everything ok, no problem occurred...i flashed stock 4.3 ROM, then CWM and SU, but....then....after one day of use, i forgot to shut down the phone and, again, removed the battery with the screen on....i connected quickly the battery and the phone started without press any button.....and then, surprise!!! Me trying to make a phone call: "Not registered to network"...fu**...but IMEI was still alright(w t f?). Third day i sent again the phone to the service and they told me that i am playing whit the soft (what man? just because i flashed CWM and SU? damn), i told them again what i do with the battery and they said is not true (now what i am supposed to do? they don't trust me) but fixed it again free..for first and last time. Now here is the question: what i need to back up in case that will happen again? It can't be fixed with a backup of IMEI/Modem file...
Go read the sticky thread in general forum.
