[Q] Sprint Galaxy S2 flashed to Metro PCS - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a galaxy s2 flashed to MetroPCS as follows:
model number: sph-d710
Android version: 2.3.6
baseband version: s:d710.10 s.el29
kernel version: 2.6.35.7-sph-d710.el26-cl839620
build number: calkuin's e4gt rom v2.7
hardware version: d710.10
I paid a shop here in san francisco to flash it for me and i am extremely happy with this phone. The phone is GREAT and I have unlimited everything for 50.00 per month.
However when I got home I installed MetroPCS VisualVoicemail.apk version 3.14.22 and everything worked great. Then the other day my visual voicemail stopped working. I tried everything to get it to work and I even compeletly uninstalled and reinstalled it but it still doesn't work.
Also as you see above I am on Caulkin's 2.7 can I upgrade to Caulkin's 3.0 without doing a complete wipe? Or maybe ICS????
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer !!!!

Dodgy reception problem after update to 2.3.5

Hi guys,
Hopefully you can offer me some advice.
I've been running on stock and normal kies releases on my O2 Samsung Galaxy S2 and I rooted it using infratechs technique is in 'stock' threads. A few days ago an update came up on Kies for the 2.3.5, I've updated and everything apart from my reception is fine. Where before I had say 3 out of 5 bars, now I have none and in areas where I had full strength I only have 3.
My phone details are now:
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9100XXKI4
Kernal Version: 2.35.7-I9100XWKJ1-CL647431 [email protected] #2
Gingerbread Version: GINGERBREAD.XWKJ1
I've not done anything else to the device since I updated it, not sure why it still says root on ther kernal, But none the less has anyone got any suggestions on what I can do to fix the problem? I don't want to start playing around with flashing until I've had some real guidance from people who know alot more then me!
Thanks in advance.

You need to flash a different modem. That will probably take away your problem. Do you know which rom you had? Then you can flash that modem onto your device.

Hi Lenny, thanks for the quick response it is appreciated.
I don't I'm afraid, I'm guessing it would have been the stock one on the previous version?
Here is a topic about modems that can be flashed true your recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1277593
Just try some out and see what works for you the best You could start with the latest and then try the one before that one etc.
How do you know if it worked?

Lennyz1988 - thanks for the guidance. I am definitely a newbie at this. Yesterday my G2 updated it's firmware and the did 2.3.5. The reception dropped straightaway and not doesn't work in parts of the house it did easily before. Those calling me said it was terrible. God forbid, I am having to use an old iphone now!!!
I have rooted the phone, loaded Rom Manager, put it in recovery mode and then told it to install one of the zip files (kp1). It did started the install (orange bar across bottom) but had to press the home key a couple of times to keep it going (there was yellow lines of scripts or comments with several lines of red in the middle each time I pressed the home key but too fast to read).
Anyway, no difference so I suspect it didn't work. Any ideas - stats below ??
I would pay for help if someone could fix the thing.

Baseband - I9100BUK1
Kernel - [email protected]#2

Original O2 shipped modems first release was KDH
Any of the released modems work on O2 UK some may give individuals better reception .
If you use CWM root and Rom Manager = problems .

[Q] Please help! I want to root my SHW-180S!

Hi, I got this new Galaxy Tab from Korea and I'm wondering how am I supposed to root it? I have no experience on rooting whatsoever, so I really need exact and guaranteed instructions. I tried rooting my tab twice, it ended in a Coma Brick twice and I had to send it to Samsung Help desk twice to repair it.
Here's my Specs:
Model Number: SHW-M180S
Firmware Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: M180S.FE18.1503.ST
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.UF08
I need precise and accurate information. Thank you.
Not really sure if this is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since its Gingerbread 2.3.6. Stock Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes with Honeycomb 3.1.

Well considering... according to Google that it's a Samsung Galaxy 7 SHW-M180S Korea
If your trying to root and flash a rom from here might explain why you had to send it back twice...
Head over to here and take a look!

[Q] Voice-Woes

Hey Techies,
How's life?
I have a problem and I want you guys to help me get rid of it.
I'm in saudi and I use these voip sims to call india.
Now everything was hunky-dory till a few weeks ago when,
suddenly, this problem cropped up: I can hear their voice but they can't.
I have tried everything; ie, everything I know of.
I backed up and reinstalled the whole frigg... os,
upgraded the firmware, and even tried using a combination
of different voips but to no avail.
My specs are:
Samsung S Duos
Model No.: GT-S7562
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: S7562XXBMJ1
Build No.: IMM761.S762XXBMJ1

SIM card wont register on phone.

Hey all..
I had a weird thing happen to me today, my s3 GT-i9300 wont register the sim at all it all started when I flashed 4.3 from 4.0 today I've tried everything possible to get the sim to register. In all honesty, I've become discouraged and would be happy to just get back to stock rom... at least the network was working. lol
Originally I bought this s3 in HONG KONG, the baseband version that I flashed 4.3 is from Kazakhstan.. So I went over to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 and found that TGY (Hong Kong) has 3 firmwares: I9300ZSUBNB1- 4.3- 26.02.2014 and I9300ZSEMK3- 4.1.2- 06.11.2013 and I9300ZSEMC1- 4.1.2- 11.03.2013
Question: Which one do I use? and what would be the steps in fixing this problem?
Heres my info:
IMEIs match on BOTH in status of phone and on the back of the phone
Im currently on 4.3 Android Version
Current Baseband version: I9300xxugna8 [Kazakhstan]
Cell phone carrier: Mobilicity (Which is owned by Rogers)
Thanks for all the patience and help in advance.
Cheers.
Nevermind gents, found the solution. ANDDDDDDD the best part is.. I can stick with the 4.3... [sarcastic YAY]
Solution thanks to the folks at AndroidVeterans
Maybe the ROM you used is not Stable 100% that's why u faced that problem. So the solution is to back to your stock ROM with the official baseband that it was installed before you upgrade. in my opinion if you flashed a stock ROM with the wrong baseband can make your device unsupportable to the network (even you flashed many ROMs the problem will still exists)

Don't panic bro ,international S3 had this problem on updating manually , not for custom roms only for stock 4.3
The only solution is z3x box , it can be only done using that box :good:
You have to only repair network from it
