Modem issues after update to ShoStock2 4.1.1 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777

Hi, I'm rather new around here so I hope I am following all of the rules. If not feel free to move / delete this.
I have been running Shoman's ShoStock2 ROM on my SGH-I777 for some time.
After the latest update to 4.1.1, my data connection does not work. On the about phone display, it shows mobile network status = online (I forget the exact word" and directly below that it says network state = disconnected. It does show a mac and ip address.
I thought "no problem, i'll just go back to my cwm backup from before I updated."
I tried all of the backups I have for the last month (making sure to wipe factory data and cache first) and no joy.
I then also tried installing the UCLE5 modem.zip file from the modems thread and that did not help either.
My latest attempt to resolve this, I wiped factory data/cache and re-installed 4.1.1
I now have under about Phone -> Status
Network: AT&T
Signal Strength -91 dBm 11 asu
Mobile network type HSDPA:9
Service State = In Service
Roaming = Not roaming
Mobile Network State = Connecting
IP address = seems to be a valid IP
Serial Number = 00000000000 (not sure if this is good or not?)
Any thoughts?
Samsung Galaxy SII (SGH-I777) ATT
Androiv Version 4.0.4
Baseband Version I777UCLE5

BUild Number: XWLPT-SHOstock2 v4.1.1

Networks state will show as disconnected if you're on wifi. Try shutting off your wifi and see what happens

I'm afraid i don't have a good answer, otter than to say that the lack of a serial number is not the issue. There is another thread that suggests that the lack of a serial number seems to be a prevalent problem for many people (including myself) after upgrading to ICS, on several ROMs, but none of these people are experiencing connectivity problems. So, the serial number issue is almost certainly not related to your lack of connectivity. Other than that I'm afraid I'm not nearly knowledgeable enough to even attempt to give a solution.
Separately, this question should have been posted in the Shostock2 threads, either the one in the development forum or the Shostock2 faq thread.

WIth Wifi Off- Network State = Connecting for about 10 seconds and then disconnected and serial number = unknown.
Service state still = In service

What does it do if you toggle airplane mode on/off?
If doing that doesn't give you some sort of connectivity I wouldn't rule out a hardware issue with your antenna. In that case I'd flash back to stock and contact att for warranty service.
Lmk if the toggling does something.
Service state will usually stay 'in service' because the phone is still connected to the network for calls and sms

Thanks for the suggestions. I flashed back to "bone stock" and then did the normal update through Kies. I now have 4G connectivity with no issues. Guess I'll flash root and Shostock 4.1.1 again and see what happens
Yes I am a glutton for punishment but I really love the ShoStock ROM and after 5 minutes, HATE AT&Ts version of 4.0.3
I can't post in the Shostock thread yet as I am too new, if any of this information is useful, maybe someone will put it over there.
Big Thanks to Shoman for the ROM

Glad you got it fixed.
You might wanna also consider flashing a different kernel. I know some are having wifi connectivity issues with the included skyfire kernel on 4.1.1.
Oh and make sure you don't wipe with the at&t stock kernel as it contains the emmc bug

I flashed to stock following the thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313659
Then updated via Kies just to see if the 4G would work.
If it does the same thing, perhaps I'll give another kernel a try.
I'm still in the realm of noob to all of this so I'm just reading as much as I can on here.
Many thanks for the advice and info

Yeah if you updated to ics via kies then wiping could potentially hard brick your phone. Just flash a known good kernel and you should be safe.

I'm also very much a noob and in my short time here I've seen lots of us noobs who just don't read or do any research whatsoever. Gives us a bad rep. I'm happy to see a fellow noob who did the research and set a great example for the rest of us to follow. :thumbup:

Bell SGS2 3G Data Connectivity Issues

Ok so I've been reading around in a few threads about this but haven't quite found a solution in my case and I think I need a second opinion. I've also posted in other on going threads but it just gets lost in the rabble so.... it now gets it's own thread.
Bought a brand new Bell SGS2 from a dude on Kijiji. It was brand new, still in the box with the plastic all on it. I SIM unlocked it (which required rooting it) and dropped my Rogers SIM chip in.
I can send/receive txt's but 3G data drops frequently and usually happens once I initiate a data session. My test case uses SpeedTest. I've only seen it complete a full test cycle twice... most of the time, it will get the ping, start the download test and 10% in, the data connection drops and 3G/H+ icon disappears. It takes about 1-2 mins for the data connection to return. I've tried market access or web browsing and same thing happens once a data session initiates.
I've installed a slew of modem/ROM combinations via Odin from XXKH3 to XXKI4... nothing... same issue. Seemed worse with KI4 too!
I've tried different APN settings, disabling fast dormancy and specifically trying to enable only HSPA bands. Nothing. Same problem.
I've since reverted back to stock BELL firmware and tried a friends Bell SIM chip and noticed THE SAME thing happening! So this would definitely tell me it's a hardware problem. It's been more than 15 days so Bell won't even talk to me as the return period has passed and I'm not a bell user so screw them.
I guess at this point, I should test my luck with Samsung but it's been rooted and even though I've un-rooted the binary counter shows 2 which means.... I'm screwed for warranty right?
U can reset the binary counter after flashing back to it original state by using jig. Google for galaxy s2 jig
Btw, why dont u just flash original samsung I9100XXKI3 rom? Which provide good modem. Check my signature, 'boot loop', theres a link lead u to installation guide with download link provided. All is there.

I personally found XXKI3 Modem to be best for Bell's SGS2 (currently using it on Telus).
Tried all the modems' including KI3... didn't work.
In recovery mode, fix permission, reboot and check the 3g again.
Try another method, flash cm7 nightly latest version #16. If the problem still exist, thats mean its related to phone's hardware.

Well I got it new out of the box but I had to SIM unlock it which required rooting and etc....
I did power-volume up-home... got into recovery mode and... there is no option to fix permissions. Keep in mind this is the stock ROM I put back on.
CM7 is another idea.... not against that.
Well. Maybe some failure occured during rooting your phone before. Install rommanager app from the market, open then select flash recovery mode, then select your phone model.. This will give u recovery v4 which will give u more option on recovery mode. This is the easiest way to get more option cwm. U will have fix permission option when u done.

i have the same problem i.e data loses connection. after a fresh flash of stock rom and factory reset , it starts working fine for a week or so and then the shyt happens again . i can tell u , its not a hardware issue, it more like a software issue.
i m not good at android but wen i used to run squid on a linux machine as a proxy server , i recall i had to clear a log file to make data flow possible every few days. i think android has a similar issues some logs files build up or some **** like that.

[Q] No signal on CM9 (HydrogenICS)

As the topic says, I just installed HydrogenICS ROM which is based on CM9 (right?) and I can only make emergency calls. I'm connected to my carrier (bottom of statusbar shows the carrier's name) and I have good signal, but it's grey. Data isn't working either, obviously.
I think this issue is CM-related, because I remember trying out MIUI based on CM7 a few months ago and I left it because of this problem. I tried out a lot of modems back then... none worked. Maybe CM's properties/settings/whatever blocks my carrier's used frequencies? I googled a bit and found out it might be something with the RIL and that I have to flash an appropriate RIL... I have no idea what RIL means though, could this be it?
Some info...
Baseband: XXLPQ
Kernel: 3.0.25-CM
Mod: HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.3.12
If it's realted, from "About Phone" -> "Status":
Mobile network type: HSDPA:9
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Help please! I really like CM9 and Hydrogen I don't wanna go back to sammy...

I had the same problem yesterday after updating from HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03 to HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03.
I reverted back to HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03 (restored a backup). Even after restoring the backup I had the same problem.
What I did to fix it:
dialpad - *#*#4636#*#* -> Phone Information -> Turn off radio. Wait 5 minutes. Turn the radio on again.
Rebooted the device and it was still the same.
I then waited 20 minutes and rebooted again.
After the 2nd reboot everything came right and is working well.
I know it probably doesn't make sense, but it worked for me.
I have read somewhere in the HyDrOG3N-ICS thread about APNs not being picked up etc and someone suggested leaving the phone for 15 minutes after updating and then rebooting.
Think this might be similar issue.
Let me know if this works for you. I would like to update to HyDrOG3N-ICS 25.03 again.

SGS2 loses network / wifi and problems with data

I have huge problems with my SGS2 , after update ( I think so ) to official android 4.0.3 (I9100XXLPS) it constantly loses 3G network when not using SGS2 or browsing internet on it.
But it never loses network when talking with with someone , it keeps voice and data connection correctly.
It also loses both wifi / 3G network at same time when I am connected to net via wifi.
But thats not all...
Also happens pretty often that SGS2 sends some data but never receives response from network and for example net communicators like ICQ loses connection when it occur.
Tonight it lost 3G network which I picked manually earlier and displayed error that selected network is unavailable , SGS2 started looking for all networks and it found none displaying that there was error when searching for networks ( that error honestly happens very often even when SGS2 is connected to some network )
I tried of course wipe , even flashing firmware via odin but its always the same.
For now I flashed modem KI4 to see if it changes anything , but looking forward for any tips.
Try flashing a different kernel to help with your wifi problems like Siyah / Neak / Redpill and different modems to see if that helps with your signal / data
unfortunately ...
changing modem / kernel didn't helped ...
its still loosing network and don't wanna connect again until I reboot it.
Even exchanged sim card to new but no luck.
So should I give it to Samsung so they hopefully fix it ?
Sounds like a hardware issue... darn that sucks.

earlier I had the same but now have also issues with connecting to any 3G network... it just won't find any until I do reboot
and I seriously have enough of doing wipes :/
Wanted some stable android device , not the one that needs wipes every week, earlier I had Galaxy Gio and were no such problems there.
I even started thinking about Iphone , but sad to loose all those applications that I bought at Android Market .

Thanks for posting link , tho after reading issues list in this ROM , I won't even try it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25647503&postcount=28337
Also on most of those roms ( Cyanogenmod, Miui based roms ) 3G video talk and FM Radio is not working which I am using often.
chmmm I flashed NELP3 modem and is stopped for now loosing 3G network and generally data connection works better too just ...
exactly every 2 hours it closes data connection and connects again, maybe there is somewhere some hidden setting which sets maximum session time ?
You should wipe phone flash original rom and test if it fails return under warranty .
jje
hehe thats what I was about to do , wipe totally all data, from internal sdcard memory too. ( just 1st making backup of all data )
Then flash using odin the newest official firmware for my country.
ehhh after full wipe and flash well , it doesn't seems to drop 3G network , but does drop data connection every few minutes
and it does it even with sim card from different operator
so seems only samsung service for me :/
edit :
nah it drops also 3G network totally.
you are sure guys its not software fault ?
couse I read A LOT of threads on this forum and others , that SGS2 and other Samsung phones have this issue and they saying samsung knows it and working on it ...
Software ICS yes possible .
Test by flashing stock GB rom .
jje
seems its working MUCH better on Android 2.3.5 .
But .... Why my friend who have SGS2 and ICS ( same as me ) also same mobile operator don't have any problems with network ?
Seems will give it to Samsung anyway , as I wanted stable ICS :/

Contrary to popular belief, the signal bar does not show an accurate description of your network signals. It may show you the signal strength of the nearest tower.
The reason you're getting the "out of service" sign is because you ARE out of service. You're not in range of your telecom provider's signals. Try someone else's SIM (who is on another network) and you'll see that everything works perfectly!

I have pretty much the same issue... Since i moved to JB, It happens that I can't hear anything. Sometimes The other side hears me, but most of the time not.
Sometimes a Reboot helps, sometimes a reflash of the modem (all versions tried) helps... but this works only for a random time span... then it bugs again.
My provider is Swisscom and I never had signal problems in my home. Definitively no provider problem since all the other mobile phones work in this area.
Now I'm looking for the stock ROM to flash... maybe this will help...

I had this problem with the DBT version. You seem to have NEE which I have now.
I bought my S3 from Germany and live in Sweden.
CSC I had was DBT and I flashed it to NEE which is for Sweden.

You need to flash yours with TUR version and do a factory reset.

ODIN 3.07
Instructions For Flashing Firmware:
Extract the firmware
Open Odin
Turn off your device
Put your device into Download MODE (Home + Volume Down + Power) then Volume Up
Click PDA and select *.tar.md5
Then finally click START!
I hope that solves the problem.
When I flashed I used Samsung Kies drivers.
Install latest Samsung Kies and uninstall it but keep the drivers.
The factory reset I mean is Home + Volume Up + Power

Hi!
I have this common problem: not registered on network.
Wifi other stuff ok, simcard ok, phone is independent.
I cant start phonecalls after a while, or the connection is lost while a call.
Same issue before and after the fw update, current is: 4.1.2
Can u give me hints what to do?
I already did a factory reset either.
Maybe a factory firmware could help.

No,modem is software. There's several threads on this forum,search "gti9100 modems" (edit:stumbled across it while browsing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640812 ) It might be that you need to manually add your APN settings. If you go into settings-more-mobile networks-network operators is your networks name there and checked?

if i turn on flight mode than off the not registered **** is gone either.
what to do in this case?
If the WiFi connection keeps dropping, try using a static IP in the connection settings rather than DHCP. If that doesn't work, try flashing a different kernel (drivers could be messed up, and they're in the kernel, not the modem).
Re: trying different modems, start with the modems bundled with stock roms released by your carrier, then try modems bundled with stock roms released by other carriers in your country if those don't work. This should save you some time rather than just flashing modems from other carriers in other parts of the world (you only do that if trying the modems from your carrier/other carriers in your country don't work).

im trully sorry but i dont know how to try different modem. could you please advise in a few words?

thanks a lot
If your phone is rooted, you can flash modems quickly/easily in CWRecovery. Do a search (XDA or Google) for 'I9100 modems' & you should get plenty of threads (I don't have any links handy, and if I gave you links I'd have to search to find them just as I've suggested, which you're capable of doing yourself.
If your phone isn't rooted, there are Odin flashable modems, but I very much recommend you root your phone if that's the case & use CWM flashable versions.
Can't offer any other suggestions re: the WiFi issue given you say you've tried factory resets/etc beyond trying some custom kernels (and maybe even other stock roms); using different WiFi networks is problematic for you given you won't be able to look at much on the WiFi modem/router side (like changing settings or updating firmware) given the networks concerned aren't your home network.
Re: exactly how to flash kernels/roms/modems, you really need to do some searching, this stuff has been covered so many times here over the past two years. There's some threads stickied at the top of Q&A and General which should have all the info you need, if not, an XDA search will pull up threads which will have the info you need.
well i wanted to un-brand the phone and i found an article with firmware and modem and another file (kernel i guess) together so i did the steps with odin and the error is gone.
however i had to upgrade 2-3 times cause the fw+modem came with an old 1.xy android what was slow as hell.
anyway thanks for the help
best regards.
