Why not just make a note of which modem you currently have, (about phone screen, under Baseband version) and download it from here?

Yes, he is right. I see no reason for such action. What for? It contains no custom user settings. Just fallow his instructions

u need not backup
u can find all i9100 modem here

I would like to backup my wife's modem as we have the same phones. However I have installed multiple modems found here on this site. None of them are of the same quality and battery life as her modem. I am led to believe that perhaps our provider has modified the KG2 modem to better suite the network. So again I ask....
How can I backup a modem on Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100?

Very simple,
Requirements:
1. CWM recovery
2. Root access
Once you meet the requirements, let me know

1. Download this file: db.tt/Pj8JuqTh
2. Flash the file in CWM recovery and reboot phone
3. Open your file explorer, there will be a folder named " MODEM_BACKUP" on your external SD , the folder contains your phone's modem.bin
4. Rename the modem to modem.bin
5. Download any modem.zip here: www.veyka.co.uk/radios/
6. Using a zip manager, replace the modem.bin inside the modem.zip you just downloaded, with the modem.bin (your backup).
Now you have a CWM flashable backup of your modem.

Looking at the script, it saves to /sdcard/MODEM_BACKUP, which should be your internal sd.

Ah, you're right; I forgot that this is run in recovery.
Thanks,
I got it to work. Just a couple of notes for future reference. You can edit the script within the zip file to put the bin file anywhere that you like. Also it looks like you don't really have to boot into recovery mode to run this script. I ran it from the terminal under su and the bin file was the same.

Samsung has their own recovery on all galaxy device. So you don't need root to boot to it
To boot to recovery,
-Off your phone,
-Hold Volume up + home button + power button together
-Remove your hands from those buttons when your phone lights up.
I'm sure all this info is in that thread.
Read carefully and be a little patience

Hi,
I rooted my phone recently and flashed the latest Siyah Kernel* on it and installed the complementing ExTweaks app. I hadn't played with the settings on ExTweaks, but I've noticed my haptic feedback has gone a bit funny and stopped working. It would be fine when I reboot it, but when I put it into standby/sleep mode and wake it up it stops working. I can change the intensity of the vibrations using ExTweaks, which would get it to work but if I rewake it, it would stop again. So I can gather that it's a software issue rather than hardware. I've tried getting rid of ExTweaks and rebooting the phone but the problem still persists.
Anything (other than flashing the stock ROM) I can do to make it work again?
Thanks.
* (I tried to flash a stock kernel after flashing CF-Root but that bricked my phone so I had to use a microUSB jig to enter download mode, from where I flashed Siyah to get it up and running again. I lost no data and don't know if it's relevant but I thought I'd put this in anyway.)

Hi, a couple of hours ago I decided to edit the build.prop to change lcd density, so I went to the market and got myself Lcd density modder, made the change and rebooted, unfortunatley the phone no longer boots.
I then searched for the solution to this problem, here on xda and on a bunch of other forums, and all agreed on the same solution, I had to replace the bad build.prop with a good one. Once again murphy's law knocked and I had no backup, so I grabbed the rom that I was using extracted factoryfs.img and and managed to extract the build.prop :highfive: thanks xda.
For the next step I booted the phone to the recovery and using adb pushed the new file, the thing is the phone still does not boot. I tried using adb shell to check the permitions, but every time that I try to su I get a segmentation fault. I've already wiped the cache and dalvik-cache a bunch of times to no avail.
Can anyone help?

Allright, allright just to make it clear..
I'm about to Root my S2 (4.0.4) included with superSU but no root. I'm using this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
But got just one question. After i installed cwm and rooted it, am i available to unroot by just going on SuperSU and choosing unrooting option?
Because i don't want a root anymore on 4.0.4 ..

If you don't want to root anymore then don't ROOT at all.
If you want to root, simply flash a custom kernel via Odin. I recommend Speedmod or Siyah kernel

I don't want but the problem is i can't delete the SuperSU app which is in system that's why i need to root to delete the .apk
But just one more question i know i'm kinda noob haha.. But if i flashed a custom kernel like Siyah (and deleted the .apk) am i available to update upcoming updates no problems after that right?

1. If you flash a custom kernel, you will still have root but you will be 100 % safe from the brick bug. You can still get updates
2. If you are only rooted, it will not brick your device. So there is no need to unroot
3. The most important thing is:
DON'T USE CWM RECOVERY , unless you've flashed a custom kernel

Allright, thanks for the information and the effort, i will tomorrow make clear what happend
I noticed that there are many ways to root your galaxy S2.
In some cases we have the yellow alert triangle on boot and In some cases not..
If you would install a custom rom TODAY, what methods would you prefer?

added the kernel version.
Seems to be XWLP7
- backup ur apps and data
- Install Siyah kernel for S2 using Odin.
- Let it boot up, ur rooted with ur stock firmware then.
- then reboot in recovery, now u have Siyah's cwm recovery (the best and safest way)
- make a nandroid backup if u want to go back to ur old system,
- wipe/data factory reset, wipe cache
- wipe dalvik cache (in advanced settings)
- wipe cache/data/system in mounts and storage
- u can format ur internal storage if u want to start clean.
- then flash zip

I really like Siyah kernel..
And it seems that with this method there's no "yellow triangle alert".
Thanks a lot

Well yellow triangle only comes up when u install a custom rom/kernel with odin, So when u install Siyah with odin i forgot to mention to use Triangle Away app from chainfire it's in the ''original android'' forum
It's actually very easy but there are so many threads to root ur sgs2, u will get lost lol
