You have a very old Gingerbread baseband from september last year. LPS works excellent, I'd give it a try.

Downloading LPS now from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950&page=105
does Vodafone has any different modem for SGS2?

Still facing same issue upgraded modem LPS Its still the same.
Strange thing is Use 2G network and Data Enabled is unchecked itself whenever I had this problem.

There are a larhe number of modems .
Start with the last one and work your way back .

Best way to find a good Modem is testing them all.

Guess your rom doesn't come with service mode then.

You need a computer and a thing called search and you look on XDA thread for Modem post with flashable modems .Like most stuff its found in development .
But you would do better to read the basics first .

Problem with hydroxygen mod v1

Hey
Flashed this any everything works apart from my phone cant find any network nor data signal. Tried flashing different kernals and modems but nothing works. Some people have had the same problem but no luck either.
Does anyone have any idea's how to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Enter network settings manually is the normal first step .

Thanks will give it a shot

No voice NOR data signal? Sounds like the modems that came with the ROM you flashed aren't compatible with your network. Try the modem thread.
So if i found a t mobile modem for example then flashed that, it should work?

Just be sure you use I9100 modems. Don't use modems intended for any other models of phone...
hmm not having too much luck finding a t-mobile modem. Know where i could potentially find one ?

Shipped modem thread.
Doesn't seem to be anything that specifies which are used by T-Mobile of any particular country though. You could ask around and see if any T-Mobile users in your country can tell you what modems they are using in their phone.
I don't find a "hydroxygen mod v1" ROM when I search. Are you referring to "HydrOG3NMOD V1.2"? If so, it may be better for you to post in that thread asking if any other users of that ROM are experiencing the same issue. Maybe some additional steps are necessary.
But if you don't get help there, I'd suggest you reflash a stock ROM first (from Intratech's official stock firmware thread) and make sure you get voice/data signal. Then reflash whatever ROM you're looking at, but remove "modem.bin" from the package before flashing so you retain the modems that work.
Thanks alot man really helped and sorry my bad. Meant the one you posted the link too

Hi there.
The ROM doesn't flash modem, as this is user based preference.
I'm using Ki4 here. In France.
And here is HydrOxygen Btw.

[Q] ICS for GT-I9100T

Hi,
Does anyone know of an ICS ROM for the Galaxy S2 GT-I9100T model?
You can use any rom for the I9100. Makes no difference.
Just flash your i9100t modem back on ics works for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I already installed an ICS ROM intended for the regular model, and it is very very buggy. The internet connection is very bad.
I did some research on the Web and what I understand it's a problem with the modem. The modem for the T model is different.
I'm in Israel on the Pelephone network.
Hi 7t
I wrote my comment just as you wrote yours, so I didn't see it.
From where can I download a modem for the T model?
Thanks.

wondering. thought that it would have, because of i9100T ,.. but apparently just orange UK (and france) have it. then you can install any i9100 you want.
I9100T doesnt mean nfc it is optimized for 850 mhz network.

As 7tOny4 says, the T thing is about the modem, nothing to do with NFC.
No NFC in Israel anyway.
Thanks anyway.
I have a GT-I9100T and have been using various ICS roms, including the CM9 nightlies, for the past month or so. At the moment, I'm running Resurrection Remix.
The modems included in the latest roms have all worked fine for me, so all I've had to do is re-add the appropriate APNs If for some reason it doesn't work with the included modem, just flash a modem file from your carrier or another local carrier that uses similar frequencies.
There's a collection of modem files from different carriers globally on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
With the official release of ICS today, I expect that we'll be seeing updates to all of the main one-off roms within the next few days, including updated kernels and modems.
I have a gs2 i9100T and running remix ICS 9.6. It is fast, smooth and stable.

O2 UK modems

Any recommendations for a modem to use with o2/giffgaff ??
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I'm just using Omega rom with the modem from that and it works beautifully, always get signal and strong internet speeds. Much better than my S2 when I used to flash new radios
A friend of mine has a O2 phone and i think he has XXLE5 on it
You cannot be recommended the best Modem. Even from people on the same network, they are not in the same are, going to the same places you go.
You have to work out which one is best for you. There is no right answer.

Check/ask rom thread re same problem and modems first as its 99% not a warranty problem .
Warranty void anyway with root and custom rom .

Pretty sure the problem is that your modem is incompatible with your firmware. On the S3 the newer roms require a newer modem specific to the firmware.

I've experienced this for the past three days too. Stock OS, latest UK version.
The only workaround I've found is to use the Speaker but this is hardly satisfactory. I'm about to do an (inconvenient) factory reset to see if it cures this and other issues.
change modem

Well three customer service also suggested to use speaker. But let's me honest no one buys a phone just to use a a speaker.
About changing modem version, can any one sugest to witch one? For Omega 9

If you are running XX"B"___ firmware, apparently you need to match your modem.
Check post #2 of my modem thread for modems to try
Sent from my GT-P6810 using xda premium
Well omega 9 is based on blg1 firmware and the modem which ships with blg1 is lf3 so it sounds kind of odd you have phone issues when you are using matching stuff.
Maybe try blfb modem since its compatible with omega 9/lf3 and is the modem designed for the UK.

Yeah seems odd if modem DXLF3 is already packaged with the ROM.
And there are other "B" modems to try as well, all documented in post #2
Only takes minutes to test.

sounds like you need your APN settings
go to settings -> > more settings then mobile networks-> APN check and see if you have the right settings for your carrier
