Here's the thread I've been using but you may want to wait for help from someone more experienced considering I may have just bricked my phone...
Ctrl-F "Network" and you will see that the Stock firmware for 3 UK is indeed XXLE8

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.
Vodafone carrier
Baseband - I9100BUK1
Kernel - [email protected]#2
Build - GINGERBREAD.BUKJ3
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 .

Downgrade from Android 4.0.x to 2.3.x

Hi guys,
this is my first post , i hope i find some help....
recently i got my samsung galaxy s2 upgraded from gingerbread 2.3.3 to ICS 4.0.3
but since the time i got it upgraded, i am finding some compatibility issues and also internet seems to be not working properly.
Now i want to know how do i revert and get back to my previous gingerbread version..
Any suggestions and help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance !!
Download your device firmware from sammobile.com

As far I know, you neet to root to flash new ROMs. Once Samsung or your Service Provide have upgraded the version, even if you factory reset, it goes to the same version.
You can take it to a samsung service center and ask them to load 2.3.x. I got this done to my Samsung Galaxy SL. The update published by Samsung to 2.3.7 was very unstable. I asked them to downgrade to 2.3.5. They did !!
No need to root, download the version you want from sammobile or xda and flash it to your GS2 via the Odin program. I did mine yesterday, ics 4.0.3 back to GB 2.3.4 as my galaxy became unstable in ics, wifi issues, SOD and jerky operation. Make sure you find an official release.
Mine is perfect again

Here: www sammobile com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=-1#modelsa (make points between www and com) you can find the firmware you need!
Be sure, which I9100 you got (normal, G,...)
Choose your region and you get the latest GB-Firmware (2.3.5.) flash this with odin and you're lucky

Did you flash without a wipe? Because it's not normal your phone gets stuck and all that.
Sent from the Matrix
Ofcourse its a custom ROM so will be having some problems/issues...check the ROMs before installing...not all custom ROMs are defective, many are way better than stock..
Follow the exact steps mentioned on the thread of the ROM you installed...give preference to recognised developers, and check their page properly, they might provide a fix for you problems on the page...

I'm not sure... But there shouldn't be any problem with Indian firmware as far as it's the international version of SGS2..
I've flashed the Indian firmware in the galaxy S2 which was purchased from dubai....no problems yet. ..
I dont think it should give any problem after factory reset...
I suppose only the modem will be different with country change. ..

As far as I'm aware an international s2 (I9100) is just that, any firmware for i9100 should be fine. I'm in the uk and flash rom builds from all around the world regularly with no problems.
Thanks for necroing a 9 mth old thread.

Stock ROM :(

Hi everyone. I am using Samsung S2 and i want to root it but before it, i want a Jelly Bean Stock ROM for my Samsung S2 in case i want to restore it back again on the same ROM as seen in screenshots. Region for my ROM is COA (Romania - Cosmoto). I dont know about these kind of things much so please guide me. A link for my S2 Stock ROM would be appreciated. I have seen www.sammobile.com but my ROM's PDA, CSC, Baseband files not match with the ROM uploaded there. Please find one for me so i can root it. I would be thankful. Waiting for an early response.

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
