So I'm downloading Wanam stock deodexed XXALF6 firmware to be flashed in CWM which says "NO WIPE".
The modem is DXLEA
and it says it's Malaysian.
Here's where my confusion is. I think my modem is LF2 (according to Kies)
Will I need the same modem as I have now for best compat with my network? Can I install the CSC for my network to keep APN stuff and MSS without it altering the stock sammy nature of my ROM?
Also... is everything going to be in Malaysian?

just flash modem only for your country for standard result. for best result, try all modem available for your phone. no need install csc just to get APN stuff. it's automatically generated, same as nexus (do you know that s3 copy nexus features? )

I don`t know about Malaysian language included in the rom, better check on the Wanam thread. As for the modem it can be changed by flashing another modem eather through Odin or cwm. Your apn settings will remain unchanged and are not beeing changed by using another modem. Modems can be flashed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061.
Thanks ^
I dunno if I can be bothered messing with the modems, though, I get a decent speed, around 2mbps, which is better than my old Orange phone

It's very easy mate. And very easy to follow step by step guides on here. I flashed around 5 modems and increased my speed from jus 1mbps to over 3.5..

Which did you try and which did you settle on?
I depends on country and carrier (network provider) so what I tried and am using is no use to u. Unless your in England and on Vodafone. Just get the speed test app. Flash a modem. Record its speed. Flash another modem etc etc and work out what's best for you.. that's my best advice

Network signal app is also useful

shove a few on your SD card and try them via CWM .

Cheers fellas, just about to flash that ROM so I'll start a few more modems downloading now and give it a shot.

Hello gents.
I have a 1 dag old Galaxy S 2 and it's all good so far. I have a question. The phone switches from 3g to h+ automatically. The it seems that when I am not actively transferring data it stays on 3g then as soon as I start downloading or browsing or whatever it switches to h+. Is this a battery saving feature? I the reason I ask is that sometimes it seems to be in a loop switching from 3g to h+.
Thanks!!

I'm having the same issue, but only since I updated to KG3. Originally I rooted my phone with:
CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4
No issue with H+ / 3G.
I then installed Lite'ning Rom v4.2 XXKG3 and the issue started. My modem (PHONE) was then updated to KG3:
PDA: I9100XXKG3
PHONE: I9100XXKG3
CSC I9100XEUD1
I reverted to a stock XXKG3, same issue.
First thing I did when I rooted with CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KG2-v4.1-CWM4 was to backup everything. I reverted to my backup but obviously the modem remained the same:
PDA: I9100MUGKG2
PHONE: I9100XXKG3
CSC: I9100MBMCKG2
But I didn't have the issue anymore! So the modem update is not a fault here.
I did try to switch off fast dormancy, but it didn't change anything.
As you said, the phone goes to h+ when it starts transferring. My results with Speed Test remained the same, so I'm not to worried about it. I don't know how this impacts the battery. I can't really compare since now I use different cpu voltage.
Hmm. I will try downgrading to a KG2 kernel. Is this even doable / safe?
Thanks!!

Yes it is, download the stock kernel here:

ZSKG2
OR
XXKG2
Then root with the correct ChainFire kernel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
Please note that this wouldn't revert you to the exact software that was on the phone when you purchase it. The stock kernel from bell isn't available for download. Please note that I didn't try flashing to KG2 (only KG3) but I'm sure it's pretty safe.
Teslarage,
what are you running right now? You might already be to KG2... do *#1234# on your phone and past the info here
Thanks for the quick replies people!
I am running Cognition 1.31 with the ROM built in kernel which I believe is nepamphetamine (or something similar) along with the kg3 modem.
Would it be safe to downgrade the modem? I or should I try with a different kg2 kernel?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
I tried with a different kernel, no cigar. Same issue...
Weird.
I'm pretty sure it's the modem. Any way to downgrade it? Flash the previous one with Odin? Which modem should I install?
I rooted my Bell SGS2 within hours of getting it, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't switching (3G / H / H+) before I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. It is now.
Some people here say the switching is normal, however I'm pretty sure this didn't occur on the stock Bell firmware. Maybe someone who hasn't rooted yet can confirm.
I've tried many roms (Villian, Cog, MIUI, DevNull) kernels (CF, Ninpo) and radios/modems (KG2, KG3) and the issue remains. I'm pretty sure the stock Bell firmware, specifically the MODEM, was customized and since it's not leaked we're SOL. My stock Bell f/w (modem and kernel) was MUGKG2.
I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to Samsungs, this is my first so I'm learning as I go here. But I've owned a few HTC's and never seen this issue. My Desire ALWAYS stayed on H with the same SIM card and on the Bell network.

You can flash any modem you like with ODIN but I assure you I've tried and the issue remains. I think we need the MUGKG2 one.
I flashed kernel oz_kg2 to root and unlock and I always have the H+ on. I don't think it should be anything to worry about since this technically is saving battery. Can you guys confirm that your phones aren't affected by the AOS bug on KG3?

Did a quick search for AOS and nothing much useful. Something about battery drain? Mine seems ok.
I wouldn't be concerned with the switching modes if I wasn't also getting intermittent connection problems. Sometimes it seems as if my data just disconnects. The data icon remains in the status bar but I can't surf, download market apps, check gmail, etc. Usually have to reboot.

Argh. I can't wait until somebody releases the stock modem / kernel / firmware for Bell. I'm going to flash back for sure. I find my WiFi performance pitiful on every ROM I've tried and the issue at hand in this thread is incredibely annoying
It's not the modem the problem, if a revert to my backup
PDA: I9100MUGKG2

There is no switching with a KG3 modem
Maybe it's the CSC file since it's related to the country and carrier related settings? Any way to extract that data ?

I did peak at /system/CSCFiles.txt of the bell stock rom but didn't see anything striking... Only saw the bloatware from bell: UNO, nova, the gps app, selfserve app, etc.
To see if the CSC was at fault I tried upgrading to two different version of CSC but the update failed each time... not in odin but when the phone reboots for the first time...
Im also unsure if my gs2 is at fault or if its Bell's network. My d/u speeds are very inconsistant. Last night I was getting 5 down and 2 up and to day I tested with my bro who has a HTC incredible S on Telus. He got 8 down and 3 up while I was at 4 down and 1 up. What I found striking in that test is that telus uses Bell's network and that his phone is not 4g. I should be getting better speeds I think. What do you guys think.

Im running on full signal now (back to normal) when i flashed KF4. So we really should flash the stock modem always after flashing a new rom since KF4 is optimised for Vodafone/3 and Telstra too i guess?
But yeah if you just flashed a new rom, be sure to flash the stock KF4 modem right after.

That presumes that their are different KF4 modems then as opposed to one KF4 modem released worldwide .As you are presuming it has some local optimization .

tried going back to kf4 still sometimes (depending where i am in the house) shows 2-3 bars but then says no network when try to ring or text
besides the drop in reception bars, do you have anyother problems because i would like to be able to get DSLR Controller, and i need the newer KG or KH to get that working
Hi All,
I bought a used galaxy S2 I9100 yesterday,new to android.I have been a iphone user for 4 years and pretty aware of jailbreaking, unlocking installing custom firmwares. the terminology here in Android world is different though.
Have searched and read through different guides on the forum but still got some questions.
Model GT i900 LKAH3G
PDA i9100XWKE1
CSC I9100H3GKD4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 [email protected] # 2
Build Number GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Looks like it was on Three network but it is unlocked mobile as i can use my airtel sim on the phone.
I dont want the Three network related stuff on the phone so i need to debrand the phone -- how to do it? there is guide on XDA forum but it talks primarily for O2 phones or might be i did not read it correctly. (there are also some options like the network mode which are disabled on this ROM )
Once debranding is done should i be ok to use any ROM or kernel?
Which would be best ROM to be installed and will it work for me in India.
Can i install the custom ROM and would i be able to install apps from the android Market.
If these have already been answered , can you please provide the link for that thread.
Thank You
I'd advice you to try the new ics roms, you can find the instructions inside the various rom threads, flashing these roms will get rid of the three junk as well as update your phone to the latest android os a.k.a ICS ..........
there is no such thing as a best rom for a specific country, but you can try different modems to find the one that gives you the best network and battery, you can find your modem under the baseband in about phone....
google for more info
happy flashing and welcome to Android we luf you here...........
Learn how to use Odin
Download stock gb from from checkfus or sammobile.
Flash using Odin, you will be unbranded.
After that root using cfroot, now learn how to use cfroot.
Now you can flash custom roms.

forget about csc.
if you have i9100 you can flash any region ROM and use in any country.
if you want Gb than go for la2 italy rom , iv used that and last time i check that was the fastest stock rom for GB
you can also flash ICS rom like uk lp7 too, just stay away from lp9 roms at the moment.
ad dont forget to wipe using the dialpad code *2767*3855#. [will wipe all data stored]

can i flash it to the OS even if i am getting this message using odin or do i need to

factory reset will not delete your user stored data on the SD card...that can be manually deleted...if you want
you can flash the OS from ODIN

Yes though the newer dxlp9 was much better, previous one had bunch of issues including sleep of death.
Also that ROM introduces the contact/dialer lag bug. Which some how got to Google account and now every time I sync contacts it get back.
I deleted all my contacts and synced again and it's all better, tried on dxlp9 and was working fine, than I switched to my regular cm9.

Hi
I'm just wondering if after flashing a new custom ROM (or indeed I started to mod my own rom from Wanam's de-odexed latest stock rom) should I flash my original CSC from 3Hutchinson UK (H3GALE4) or stick with the latest unbranded UK CSC? It's still unclear to me precisely what the CSC does?
Surely it is the radio/modem version that determines connection speeds/efficiency of the modem etc? Or could the CSC have special 3 mobile firmware for getting better connection with their network? - Or what I suspect is that it just loads the 3 network boot screen and installs the 3 app?
Thanks

Afaik csc file determines the country code and what apps are to be installed per country that samsung assigned, like bbc player for the UK. But it`s not that important to be honest.
Thanks,
So only the CSC is carrier specific? Radio/Modem is purely just firmware for the radio and modem? I ask because in the UK 3-Network transmit using UMTS (not GSM) on 2100MHz so I wondered if there was anything that could optimise this. It seems to me that ALL 3 phones in the UK use the NELE4 modem - is there a reason for this?
I'm on 3 in the UK had it for a few weeks now on le8 and le4 modem rooted and changed the kernel to siyah but don't want to flash a custom Rom yet for the csc reason and seen in a few places people losing imei number too is that them just being completely dumb tho and flashing incorrect roms etc?

I had read the same although I took precursive efs backup and immediate image of my initial stock. I've flashed through some nice ROMs but recently decided to make up my own from one of Wanams deodexed stock roms. However I have really liked the Omega rom so I may roll with that, but I have been reflashing the CSC to 3 H3GALE4 thinking perhaps it improves things for 3 users??? But I reckon moreliekly just provides the 3 splash screen on power up.
My interest in modems and/or CSCs is that my primary reason for the sgs3 is not so much a phone as my home internet provider as i live in v rural area yet with an anttenna I can get above 5mb/s whereas my land line can barely provide 1mb/s. So any modem/mod/hack which specifically improves this and perhaps even the software/driver behind tethering is what I'm keen on learning about.
Great phone though.
Amazing phone couldn't want more gui is so smooth I have from some where got on my internal sd a efs-backup.zip so I will back that up and try checkrom worst comes to I send it back

Well I tried Checkrom and that too is really really good. Prior to flashing a new custom rom I followed the instructions of flashing back to original stock and triangling away which worked absolutely fine too.

I'm sure whether or not I get terrible 3G speeds without the 3 modem or not
Poor speeds is often modem related try BULF1.
CSC can be copied out of original rom and replaced in a custom rom before flashing .
System CSC folder and CSC version text .
CSC is not required for a phone to work and is only a list of local area network connections on stock .

Does anyone know of a custom mod/app that replaces the stock "tethering" software with a better one? I ask because I can get 10Mb/s mobile data connection on the phone but when I tether my laptop, that will only reach 4-5Mb/s. I want my phone to act as good modem router - seems the stock one isn't as good as it could be??

I've been at sea for anumber of weeks so I have only just caught up with this thread again. I have tried a number of modems (and given them a few days to "chill out"). All though I still do not have any quantative proof it *seems* as if the original NELE4 modem works the best - by best I don't mean connection speeds but in the UK without moving location I seem to get H+ more consistently whereas other modems would *seem* to jump between 3G, H and H+ more randomly. These are only thoughts - my observations may be completely wrong. WOndering if anyone else has noticed similar?
Even if I am not in the UK, I would like to confirm my understanding of CSC as I just found out that my phone's status is CSC: unknown after I flashed the newest 4.0.4 update for my region (TH, I9300T).
As I understood CSC does not impact the phone a lot, only the region specific play store settings and networks. Currently I face no problem with the phone at all, normal reception etc., hence would you still recommend flashing the correct CSC to remove the "unknown" status or just keep it like it is and wait for JB later? (I am aware that CSC flashing will format my phone)
Thanks

As I understood CSC does not impact the phone a lot, only the region specific play store settings and networks. Currently I face no problem with the phone at all, normal reception etc., hence would you still recommend flashing the correct CSC to remove the "unknown" status or just keep it like it is and wait for JB later? (I am aware that CSC flashing will format my phone)
Thanks

I really am not the best person to answer this I am afraid although does reflashing your CSC really format the phone?? I thought you could use ODIN to just reflash a CSC and leave the modem and FW intact but I may be seriously wrong so don't do it on account of what I've said! Hopefully someone will clarify.
As has been said by others on this thread (many thanks) I really doen't think the CSC matters that much at all - the only difference I notice between the 3UK CSC (H3GALE4) and a non-branded UK CSC is that I lose the Three logo on boot and BBC Iplayer and Twitter App aren't installed.
Hello,
My S2 originally came with Android 2.3.4. I then decided to root and switch to a custom ROM. I'm currently running Hydra-H2O Rom, AOKP, and I noticed my baseband is not the same as it was anymore (originally phone: I9100UHKG4). Now, after upgrading, I noticed that sometimes my data connection would drop, and the carrier menu that comes with the sim chip (Sim Toolkit) stopped working (i can access it, but it wont communicate).
So, I guess my question is, can I flash the modem part of the original GB stock rom and will that fix my issues?
Thanks for your help
Yeah, you get the actual modem file and either use Odin or ClockwordMod recovery to do it.

Thank you bro, although the modem for my region/carrier does not appear on any of the links listed in your post. It didn't matter because I already extracted it from the original stock rom downloaded directly from Samsung.
I am currently running baseband UHKG4 with no problem, however it did not fix my issue with the Sim Toolkit menu. I still cant use any of the options on it. Maybe it is a chip problem, go figure
Regards,

useful info.
so, this means that even though people say the models i9100 and i9100m are hardware identical, in fact they are not. the proof would be that the i9100's modem corresponding to a region, for example to europe (with LS6 and LS8 supposed to work) does not work with i9100m designed for canada (here, MUGL3 and XXLQ6 are appropriate).
Don't worry, sometimes it doesn't even work for I9100.

That's bs.
Read my signature.
Mugl3 modem is out performed by ld8 modem on my phone. Location does not dictate model. The i9100 is the i9100, whether you purchase in Canada (the 'M' suffix) or elsewhere.
You choose the modem that works best for you and your phone. Period.
Don't be twisting words around to suit your theories.
