I upgraded to att ics update 4.0.4. Installed CWM, rooted and tried to install ics blaze 4g, tmo_kid, tmo_vlk1, and back to the stock i717UCLF6 baseband. It showed up as unknown baseband even returning to stock. I did a factory recovery with Kies and it works now, but I can only get edge still. Any suggestions or something I missed? Thanks
Flash the blaze modem and reboot until you see the correct baseband. Sometimes the flash doesn't stick.
Don't forget to check packet data and enter your APN settings.

I tried what you mentioned about rebooting until you see it come up. I tried over 8 reboots and no luck. I tried flashing the i717UCLF6 baseband back, still would not come up. Under settings, about phone, baseband states unknown. Then goto to status and the imei is unknow and the serial number of the phone doesn't match. Any ideas?
Maybe reinstall the UCLF6 base from scratch at the samsung site using Kies.

Are you saying to do a complete restore? If so, is there no fix at the moment for the modem running ICS stock from Att? I'm currently on Tmo
Somehow your system got borked. I'm suggesting return it to stock to get your SN and IEMI back, then try again with the Blaze modem.
RESOLVED Upgraded to Att ics, stuck on egde now

I have an update. I finally got the Blaze ICS modem to work. Its on a SGH-I717 already upgraded to ICS by Kies. First thing I did was restore the phone with ICS fresh using KIES. The only reason was that I needed to make sure the modem was working. Then powered down and booted into CWM. Created a backup so I could restore later. Restarted phone like normal. Copied the ICS Blaze modem firmware zip. onto my sd card. Powerded down. Restarted in CWM. Installed from SD card the Blaze ICS modem zip. Restared phone normally. The modem would not come up. Restared the phone and booted into CWM again. I did a restore from my backup earlier. Restarted the phone and now it works. So let me know if this helps any of you...

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.

This was the latest stock rom from KIES update (also rooted). But thanks for the reply, I'll try to flash different ROM and see what will happen.

I've got the exact same problem. Do you have a BT Home Hub 3 by any chance?
I've just rooted mine so am going to try and flash a new modem and see if this fixes the issue

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.

I also think KIES would not update when this is not a zero.
Hi,
In my ignorance I loaded on the i9100 rom from Samfirmware XXLSJ, and it loaded ok. However the modem doesn't work. The symptoms are: connects ok to 3g network, however will not txt/make phone calls, the phone reports "not registered on network"
So, I tried flashing the XXLSJ JB again, this time with another modem, one that is supposed to be for the T variant, I'm in New Zealand by the way and use Telecom. Same deal.
No problem i thought, ill simply go back to an earlier official Telecom version on ICS. However, this now hangs on boot up on the S logo.I went back to an earlier one, that one also hangs. I went back to Gingerbread, that hangs on start up also on the S logo too.
So some questions:
Can i run jellybean and use some new modem?
If not, can i put it back to original 4.0.3 official firmware without it hanging?
I'm using Odin 3.07 to do the flashing.
Thanks in advance, i'll just be happy with a working phone at this stage :silly:

Sorted, ran the old firmware back on from Telecom, went into recovery mode and did a factory reset. all seems better.
My i9100 suddenly started showing "No Service" message. What should i do ?
# I'm using P.A.C Rom
# Cleaned cache/delvik and done factory reset. But problem still there
# IMEI is correct but serial number is 'unknown'.
Have you tried restoring a nandroid? I'm also on PAC atm, and haven't had any issues with signal.
Else, try a clean reflash of the ROM.

It worked well before. I don't have any previous backups. Yes i tired re-flash as well. Any other solution ?
Suddenly i noticed network is connected and received a SMS. But when i try to take a call it went back to "No Service".
It could be because of incompatible RIL and baseband. Did you happen to change these recently by any chance?
Don't flash any ril if you're on 4.2. Ril is only ok if you're on stock.
What you can try is to flash the stock ROM for your country /carrier. See if the problem persists .
And just a word of advice, always have a backup ready to go.

Flashed official firmware with Odin. But problem still exists. I noticed strange thing. One of my SIM cards working on it. But 2G network. Sometimes shifts to 3G but can't hold also signal strength is low. When i put other SIM it says Not registered on network (cant manually register even)
Did you definitely flash the firmware released for your carrier & region? Sounds to me like you may have flashed firmware intended for another carrier or region.
Try flashing a few modems. Look at which modems your carrier released for your region, start with those. Then, move onto o re her local carriers etc. If you still don't have any luck, go all our and flash whatever modem you can get your hands on (make sure it's compatible first obviously).
It may sound like a lot of work, but unfortunately there's no quick fix for something like this if flashing stock didn't work.
Oh wait. If you did actually flash a different stock rom, flash the correct one first. If you did get the right one first off, start flashing modems.

Ya. I flashed correct firmware. I'll try some more custom ROMS as well. With this ROM i can get 3G and 2G networks. Data also working. But signal is low. You think its a modem issue ?
I was testing the Sky Note 4.3 leak port from AT&T and everything was working fine. I had data, signal, mms, sms, wifi (after the fix) and all. But I got a bit greedy and tried to flash the Air Commands feature. What I didn't realize ( I was watching a show at the same time) is that I flashed the MJ5 baseband from the International Note 2, GT-N7100. Ever since then, nothing is working "properly." I can flash ROMs normally, but if I flash a ROM that is NOT 4.3, it says my internal storage is 0/0 bytes.
I've also lost my signal/data/imei/etc and it always shows baseband unknown (I have a efs backup folder, but it doesn't seem to read it properly). I can SOMETIMES get signal back when I reflash Jedi X19, but the occasions that it works, data still doesn't. If I reflash Sky Note 4.3, internal storage goes back to normal, but still don't have imei and what not and it says baseband unknown. I've already tried reflashing modems, but they never read.
Now I've tried restoring to stock using the pit file and stock rom, but it never works. the pit file doesn't repartition. If I flash the root66 stock firmware, it works, but goes into a boot loop. My startup logo also shows "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100." It thinks it's the international version??? I even decided to give it a go and tried flashing the Pit file for the international version and it WORKS. It repartitions it easily. However even with that, I try flashing roms and they work, but the internal storage problem and baseband problem still remain.
I'm thinking that if I wait until the official update comes out, I could get the official 4.3 baseband and firmware and maybe it'll work? I've tried the param_sboot_tz file and it gets stuck on sboot. If I just use the param_tz file, it gets stuck on tz.img. I don't know what else to try to get my phone back to normal. If anyone could help or somehow give a suggestion that I haven't tried, I would truly be grateful. Anyway, thanks for reading.

I'm not sure why all of the sudden this is such a problem. The issue is that I only have a good signal when in 4G mode. When I'm not in 4G the signal is either extremely weak (1x) or gone completely! When I first flashed MJ9 everything seemed to work fine, this is not he case anymore. I also noticed that when using anything GPS related it goes completely nuts when not on 4G...
What can I do to get my phone to work when I'm not in a 4G area?
I'm running 4.1.2

So, it sounds like you're on the 4.1.2 build , but you've ODIN'd Beanstown106's MJ9 firmware to update your modem.... and it's not working right anymore?
If you made a full nandroid backup, (including the modem), of your current ROM when it was working without problems, then you might try restoring it to see if that would help.
You could also try reflashing Beanstown106's MJ9 firmware to see if that would help. Or... if you want to try to go back to the VRAMC3 modem, then this link with recovery flashable modems might be helpful : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36942418. (It would be a good idea to make a backup of your EFS if you haven't done that yet before starting to mess around with the modem).
Dr. Droidberg gave instructions in this (thread) for flashing the new modem in your custom recovery... He says, "... Download the desired modem...Reboot into recovery...Wipe cache & Dalvik cache...Install modem. If you don't like that one for some reason you can repeat the process to go back or try a different one..."
If all else fails, you could ODIN back to stock 4.1.2 and reroot with Casual to start over again.... hopefully that would fix things.
Good luck! :good:
