Is this normal?? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

I flashed ICS (I777UCLE5) using mobile odin and then flashed siyah kernel with heimdall.....everything was fine and used ICS for 2 days.....but it was bit laggy..so i rolled back to Gingerbread using nandroid backup.....
Now the phone's baseband changed from UCKH7 to UCLE5....and the phone is working fine...Will there be any problem if i don't change it back to UCKH7???

There is no problem. The baseband is your modem. When flashed the update it flashed the new modem ucle5. When you flashed back, the package you flashed didn't come with a modem, as most don't. Now you have the latest modem on your phone. Check out the modems sticky in the development section if you want to try different modems.

Compatible Modem files for Bell SGS2 w/ stock UGKG2 kernel

hoping someone can shed light on a issue i'm having.
when i got my sgs2, i root the phone using chainfire's CF-root using ZSKG2.
since the release of the stock, i flash the UGKG2 back on but retained the root.
i assume with flashing the UGKG2 kernel, it reverted everything including the modem files back to UGKG2.
ever since going back to UGKG2, i have been experiecing slow data connection or timeout and wondering if its a modem issue?
have anyone tried other modem files and saw improvement? or know where i can get just the modem file for ZSKG2 as i would like to try the modem of ZSKG2 instead?
Thanks

NO a kernel is not a modem its a kernel only and not a full firmware .

[Q] How to change baseband?

Bought an S2 today. Its a UK Orange phone.
Here's what I did.
Installed an insecure BVKE2 using Odin (original fw was same)
Rooted it, then installed CWM
Installed HyperDroid
Now when the phone booted, it has the HyperDroid rom. However, the baseband still shows the old BVKE2 version.
Does that matter? How do I change that to a newer version? Will I lose root if I flash some firmware via Odin?
Please give a detailed reply

The baseband of your phone is nothing but the modem or the software that communicates with the network. It is usually flashed separately from the ROM unless it is part of the CWM update file.
All modems work differently with networks and you will need to figure out which one is best for your needs. Certain ROM's such as CheckROM come with kitchen apps that allow you to download and apply modems from within the ROM.
Check this link for more info.
Cheers!
Thanks a lot man So I am just gonna flash a new modem and that baseband will change, right?

Im already using the philz latest kernel. Im on rainbow v6 lsj rom.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
i found solution to my problem. i flashed the latest philz kernel and followed his instruction. this option is under philz settings.
•Backup/Flash Kernel: backup kernel in time stamped boot_$date.img file. To flash kernels, they must be in one of the sdcards under clockworkmod/.kernel_bak folder. If you have zImage files, rename them to *.img file
•Backup/Flash EFS: creates/restores efs.img file under one of the sdcards in clockworkmod/.efsbackup folder
•Flash modem: you can put *.bin modem files under clockworkmod/.modem_bak folder in one of the sdcards. Note, if you recompile my recovery from source, you must verify that recovery.fstab file for your device has the /modem entry or you need to add it manually
You can also flash the modem.bin file via Mobile Odin

I flashed philz way last night with a DVLP3 modem..
Strange that it is loosing it all together... You can try to select different servers in setting to try and kick start it back up? Before re flashing modem again.
Modem works great without it being rill matched and always has... Thought I would have a look at it after reading the rill app post. Matched it using rill application and it is very much the same.

Coming back to this thread... this morning i rebooted the phone and on restart there was no signal and baseband was empty... Re flashed my modem through Philz with success but i did not show up in baseband... Still no signal.
So re flashed LJS rom and Philz kernal and now the XXLS6 Modem is working even better than before... VERY strange !

I hope you have an efs backup. if not follow the steps in the linked thread.
btw which 4.1.2 did you flash. when you flash 4.3 rom efs will change to v2 so you need a rom with efs v2 baseband (everything newer than xeemg4)

yeah I know but which one (the build number) something like XXELLA or XXEMG4...? you can see it in settings menu
in fact if you have flashed a firmware older than XXEMG4 then also its baseband is flashed, and these old basebands are not compatible with efs v2 which has been flashed through your sammy 4.3 update.
This could PROBABLY have caused your imei problem and you would only have to flash a baseband newer than XXEMG4 to PROBABLY solve it. or your efs is corrupt than you should follow the steps in the stickies

No more 4.4 roms?

Hi all,
Been facing a weird issue ever since I flashed official 4.3 (NB6 with NA8 baseband) with Odin.
I've been able to flash roms back and forth earlier, but ever since the "official" 4.3, I no longer get network signal in KK roms. IMEI is empty and baseband is unknown. WiFi works fine though.
Tried flashing different modems but nothing works. The closest I got to getting a signal was for 1 second and then dropped (keeps getting and dropping). Searched the forums but it seems to be very rare.
Always have to restore to official 4.3 via Odin to get a working phone
Any ideas on this or maybe Sammy doesn't like me anymore ?

I had seen the thread earlier but it doesn't mention much except cm 10.1 and "some" setting lol.
Firmware is right (UAE) according to sammobile. I will look into CSC though. I used to be able to flash from official 4.1.2 to TW-based and AOKP-based 4.3 and 4.4 as well, but the official 4.3 firmware was bad news (pretty smooth rom though)
I'm guessing that the NB6 fw hampers baseband/radio to prevent KK roms from reaching S3 users. Kind of like a hidden Knox or something.
~ RazorMC
Tried CM 10.1.3 but no signal even with patched modem MG4.
This is really frustrating lol. I got the S3 to play with roms and now it's over?
Any other ideas ppl on what I could do for this?
~ RazorMC
This is rather an EFS problem than CSC.
Read the EFS threads.

Install Samsung kies 3 from here
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/
Run kies then go to Tool > Firmware Upgrade and Installation
Follow the on screen instructions, this should completely reset the phone to a working condition.
MK6 is stable
Try to use MK6 complete suite, then apply MK6 patched modem and kernel not only patched modem. I don't know why people say flash MG4 modem, it will never work alone. You must need patched kernel to make it work or use ariza patch in older releases.

I prefer Odin over Kies any day. It's better for flashing imo.
Point is, I can use stock 4.3 rom without any problems, but my issue is that I can no longer change to non-TW roms, esp KK.

Gonna try this now. I'm aiming for KK roms, so I guess Ariza won't help me here.
PS: I can get stock 4.3 without any problems. The signal problem occurs in non-TW roms only. I wanted signal on a 4.4-based rom.

I don't get any signal on KitKat roms. IMEI is empty and baseband is unknown in "About" section. That is my issue.
Stock 4.3 works fine for me
I've tried MG4 and MK6 modem and restoring efs via Philz Recovery 6.07.9 but no luck. I get a network signal that keeps dropping most of the time. This is strange because I haven't come across this problem before. Everytime I have to flash stock via Odin.
I need to find out why this happens so I can help others if they have the same issue.
EFS is ok and not damaged at all. The problem is that the system can't read the EFS, but I can't figure out what I need to do to get it to work.

are custom 4.3's working fine mate tried any????
[SOLVED]
Problem: Upgraded to official 4.3 and since then I have not been able to get network signals on 4.4-based roms. Stock 4.3 works fine.
Solution: Installed stock 4.1.2 (even though people said it doesn't work). Lost my signal and IMEI became 0049. Then I installed the patched MG4 modem and got imei and signal back. Then upgraded to Resurrection Remix rom (without GApps first) and still had signal.

Hi,
I'm in the exact same situation, stock 4.3 work's fine but every time i flash some 4.4 rom, i lost imei / baseband (generic imei and unknown baseband) and the phone is just useless.
After i flashed a 4.4 rom and lost signal, i tried to flash every modem / patched modem that i could find on xda but no luck.
Any ideas of a method that would allow me to flash any 4.4 or 5.0 rom without losing imei / baseband ??
Thx

Because I cannot get my imei / baseband back after flashing the modem on top of 4.1.2.
So I was wondering if there's anything else to try in my situation (stock tw 4.3)
