Hi! Are baseband frequencies hardware determined? I mean, I'd like to flash a new modem on mi SGA so I can get the 3G to work cuz the carriers basebands here are different than where I bought the phone... Is that possible to do by flashing a new modem or em' I just stuck with 2G connectivity only? Would really appreciate facts and not just suppositions on the response! Thanks in advance, cheers.-
PS.: I've posted this cause I've already tried flashing several modems and couldn't get any positive result!
There's no such thing as "broadband frequencies" as far as i know.And,having another modem would not do anything to your phone.Myself,I have a European modem and i have been to 2 countries with it,no problem,just as an examppe

The basebands are just software .
What you're facing is a hardware problem .
I'm sorry , but you're going to have 2G only unless you get a phone that supports those frequencies or migrate overseas

There are GSM,CDMA,UMTS frequencies, stock firmware is pre-configurated to one of those depending on your region(for expample Asia uses CDMA), however if your on CM u can change them.
If your using stock then only use firmware form your region when you have cell problems.
CyanogenMod 7 lets you be able to change between GSM and UMTS(called WCDMA in settings) in network preferences
CyanogenMod 9 ets you be able to change between GSM, UMTS, and CDMA in network preferences.
However some stock firmwares (Asia's and India's) allow you to change these settings as well.
have u tried the method in this thread yet..? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1289830

Hi, I bought an imported SGSII and have been using it in Mexico with Iusacell (AFAIK, only Mexican carrier with HSPA+).
I've been experiencing problems while trying to make calls (it just doesn't connect until second or third attempt). And some calls are not received at all.
I've tried the latest KG6 modem and KF2, deactivating Fast Dormancy and flashing different Kernels but the result is the same.
I don´t know if my carrier is to blame (have had issues before) or if I have a faulty device.
Hope someone can help me.
Thanks.
Hi, I have the same problem as you.
Some sort of solution (at least a partial one) was to update the firmware to kg5 found on the forums.
This has kind of fix the dropped call rate for me.
I'll be trying later to change the csc for the telcel one and let you what happens.
Cheers
i have the same problem, anyone can share your configuration?
i disable voicemail and improve my calls, im trying modem nekd5.
how about yours?
saludos
I'm currently using the stock version of xxki3 posted by intratech.
Fast dormancy is disabled and my network is set to wcdma only
New Findings
Now I'm using intratech's XXKI4, with a brazilian modem from UHKI1 and XEU csc.
So far so good, also you might be having trouble if you are using an european modem because it doesn't have the 850 mhz frequency enabled by default (which is an american standard).
You can easily enable this frequency by following this thread: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-enable-850mhz-on-any-modem.3334/
Hope that this helps

Have you used swype? I'm hesitant on flashing XXKI4 because of the CSC, don't know if it has to do with the keyboard our only with the carrier settings.
I'm on telcel, so it's not exactly the same as you, but maybe not so different
Any recommendations?

Have you tried to change the PRL version from your device?
I have tried the 370,320,330 (looking for the 3G connection on my r800x, without success), and with the 370 the calls last only 3 or 4 minutes.
By now the 330 has been the most stable for me.
How do you go and change de PRL version?
Upgraded ROM
Just wanted to share that yesterday I finally decided and flashed (frankestein) ROM KWKJ3 with telcel CSC.
I did have to do a factory reset to getting it to work and reinstall all my apps.
On the good side, I finally got to install Google Talk (it isn't available on Telcel stock ROM) and Google Search (instead of tel****'s "search" portal)!
You'll also need to activate de 850mhz band but that's very easy following the instructions.
Everything is working ok!
Easier way to set the band to american standards
Guys I've been messing around with my phone to find the best way to set the bands to 850/1900.
Just dial *#*#4636#*#* > Select "Phone Information" (the top menu), press the menu button, select "select radio band" and choose "USA Band".
That's it... It really improved my calls and downloading speeds, give it a try and let me know how did it go for you
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?

Sorry I choose the wrong section for my thread. Thanks to the MOD that moved it to the right one.
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

Go to settings-wireless-mobile networks and in network mode check gsm only...if its on wcdma thats probably why u have poor signal

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.
Does it matter wich modem is current on my phone before i flash to another?

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.
Hello all,first of all before i posted this thread i read alot on xda, google and other stuff and tried to find answers.
Here is a lil bit info about my phone
1)well my last thread i posted is aboyt over heating problem and cpu control and no one actually helped my there,just one kind man told my about GETRIL app that checks if your ril matches your baseband because it is responsible foe the signal so this was my result:
Can someone tell why the hell they dont match?
2)My second thing is that i am runnig a costum rom(my company rom) but i removed all he junky file so its basicly a clean rom and i know but i am like an idiot using go launcher and in mg battery stat my systom os drain something like 25% battery, so what rom should i use???cm??and what the diffrence betwen the nighty cm and the 2 others?do i need to change me kernel if i am changing my rom?
3) my last question is: i backed up my phine using cwm and when i tried to recover it says "md5 mismatch" what should i do?i dont a pc only my phone because im in the army now for about a month so what should i do?
Thanks alot in advance

1. Your attachments are not working so you need to post the information about yur phone.
2. Custom rom creator may have have used a different modem (baseband0 from what came with the stock kernal. ril was for the stock modem not everybody remembers to update the ril when changing the modem.
3. what rom you use is your preference nobody can really tell you what is best.
cm nightly basically means the rom is recreated every night with fixes and latest firmware out. Others are created with the firmware that was leaked at the time of creation and updated with fixes only basic rom structure is not changed.
4. cwm may not have made a proper nandroid back up, you would need a computer to check why the md5 did copy properly.
i fixed the attached pics,so can you please have a loook and tell me what you think?
and what rom do you recommended? and what kerenel do you think is the best?
Sent from my GT-I9100T using xda app-developers app
1. you have a t mobile model, so that will make it a little more difficult to flash. As the file structure is slightly different from the international version.
2. ril is easily fixed, just download the recommended version.
3. you may have deleted some files that are shared. I believe T mobile needs certain branded files to work properly.
4. Kernal try siyah, it helps with most phones.
5. Rom I can not recommend any because I am not sure what will work safely on a t mobile phone.
thanks for your help!
1)what the deiffrence between t version and the others?
2)i downloaded the ril tyo can see that it is match in the pic,i think that i need to change my baseband but i dont know how and i dont know if it worth the risk.
3)should i download cm10 do you think it will improve my battery life and my system preformance?
and again thank you for your help
Sent from my GT-I9100T using xda app-developers app
1. difference is file structure and the fact that tmobile operates on the 1700 band instead of the 1900 band.
2. click on download and install recommend ril, it will install the proper files. you do not need to touch or change anything else.
3. before downloading cm10 check to see if tmobile is supported. if you make a mistake especially where the basdeband is concerned, you phone will not operate properly.

1. Not correct. The I9100T is not the T-mobile USA version. It is, in fact, nearly identical to the I9100, but differs only in SAR values, so I9100T modems tend to work better than I9100 modems. But otherwise, receives the same frequencies.
3. Again, I9100T is not the T-mobile version. As above, it receives the same frequencies as the I9100, so it also does not get 3/4g on T-mobile USA's network, unless that market has had the 1900mhz frequency refarmed to carry high speed data.
The T-mobile Galaxy S2 is the SGH-T989.
The GT-I9100T is sold internationally, mostly in Australia and Asia, from what I understand.
i already downloaded and installed the ril and it is still saying that there is bo match.
abd about the 9100T basicly everything that work on 9100 should work on the t version right?

Yes. But you may need to flash a modem meant for the i9100T afterwards to get good signal.
I was talking with a friend and he was saying that if I change to this rom ((wild for the night from Dastin) is likely to lose the 3G data connection and he said yes, but there is a script that is used to re-take, would be helpful someone give me the script that really wanted to have this rom but I dont want lose my 3G DATA conection.
Someone could help me in this case, and in this way to install this rom (wild for the night from Dastin) without losing my 3g data.
My cellphone is the model samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch or SPH-D710, sorry for the question but I´m new in this. i cant go for the main post of the rom an post this question yet because i dont have the minimun amount of post yet in the comunity.

I'm on a galaxy s1 CDMA so yea its about the same procedure right? You flash it in cwm anyway the only thing that effects data on CDMA if your modem I mean your ROM can affect it but it usually isn't the suspect you need to make sure your own the LATEST modem your friend was probably on a piss poor old modem and that's why he lost 3g there's not scripts to fix it unless its specifically for your device.

Hi,
Well, I know that this is na old phone, but let's try to fix...
I have a Samsung SGH-T589 (Gravity Smart), originally from T-Mobile, but now unlocked. Since I'm in Brazil, tha 3G connection doesn't work. After some (and for some I mean months) time of research, I figured out that T-Mobile Works on a diferent 3G frequency than brazilian ops. But, I've also figured out that maybe (and just maybe) could be possible fix this by flashing the SGH-T589W (Gravity Smart/Galaxy Q) or SGH-T589R firmware on this phone. There were no problems related until now... but I'm having trouble to find this firmware. Tryied Samfirmware, Sampro, and many others...
Anyone have this file or I should just retire this phone once and forever?
Thanks everyone.

Well, it wouldn't be helped by the t589W because that also uses the weird 1700/2100 AWS bands for 3G service. The R would be the way to go, if it were possible, but even if it did flash successfully, the phone still has a hardware limitation where it just doesn't support other bands, despite what radio/modem you could install.
If you wanna try though, just for the heck of it (at your OWN risk - I do not think this will work. Not likely to hard brick it, but will probably need to restock with the correct firmware if it fails):
http://www.bergfiles.com/i/bf38cacda3hci0#
And you'll want the official firmware flashing Odin version for the phone, because for some reason it doesn't work with the regular Odin ones:
