Change modem version - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So... i'm having a few problems with the 3G/HDSPA signal on my GS3. I flashed to like 6 different ROMs and all of them have TERRIBLE connection performance. It only works well when I flash to the stock firmware (CSC I9300UVCALE4).
Is this possible or am I tripping? Second, can I use the ROM I want and just change the CSC to that one?
Thanks

Yes you can.

I know of that method, but, will it work with a custom ROM? I mean, it probably has like 1 CSC.
My CSC will not be there.
Haven't tried because the phone is charging, but it doesn't seem logic to me...
Anyways, will do a search in the forums. Thanks.

I saw that many custom ROMs include an even larger list of CSCs than the stock SAM ROM but please correct if I am wrong.
Usually it should at least include the CSCs of that specific region.
You could try and just go into that menu and check what CSCs are included in yours.

Galaxy S II Messed Up

Greetings XDA,
Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.
How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?
Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.
Can it be restored?
Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?
Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin

You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..
If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root
Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.

My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.
Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.
Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?
A lawyer doesn't lie, just manipulates truth and info

You could download CheckFus to your PC and it will find the correct firmware and I think download it too.. A bit sparse on the details as I have never used it but heard good things about it

Don't panic
I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.
Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.
If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

its not logged..cosmote is from greece, but we try to import as many things we can so my country helps them. i am from cyprus as well. its not locked to Cosmote.
Please check the picture i will reupload to tell me what is it... if its bokk1 for sure...
If you're not locked, any Cosmote firmware should be fine.
For one last check, dial *#1234# on your phone and post what it says for PDA, Phone and CSC.

[Q] Galaxy S 2 Signals Problem

My galaxy S2 is dropping network signals. Where my S1 shows 4 signal-bars, S2 shows 1 or 0 bars for the same network. But when I start using my phone, it goes till 3 or even 4 bars. In sleep mode it doesn't catch any signals. That mean I cannot receive any calls/sms when my phone is locked.
When I take out my phone and unlock and start using it, it suddenly get a few signals and starts receiving pending sms.
I heard somewhere it could be a problem with my custom ROM. So, I've upgraded to Stock ROM version 4.0.4. But the problem is still there. Can anyone please help me fix this issue?
Thanks
Adil
The same problems I have. Lose signal network, and must reboot phone.

Sounds like hardware problem.
Try changing kernel and/or modem.

Sorry for having very basic knowledge of Android. By changing kernel do you mean to try flashing some other ROM?
Previously I downloaded the ROM from: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=OXA&os=1&type=1#firmware (I downloaded CSC: I9100OXALQB)
If you mean to change the ROM, can you please suggest me any other ROM?
Thanks

The forum is useful. People helping you out aren't doing it for any commercial gain. They look around in their free time and help you solving your problems.
He said you may need to change your modem. Not your ROM. The best modem for you generally depends on your region. So search this forum for a thread detailing the modems for various regions, download the relevant one and flash it.

I did that comment because I've posted two problems and got no response. It seems no one looks at the questions at all.
I am not sure what you mean by modem. I bought this phone from KSA and I flashed a Poland ROM into it.
Do you think that would have changed the modem?
Yes it would have changed the modem. There is a modem thread here on XDA, find it and use Odin to flash them.

OK, can you please let me know how would I know that which ROM will suit my phone?
Do I have to keep flashing ROMs and see the results? Or is there some code in the ROM filename that can tell me that the ROM is good for the phones released in KSA ?

Just flash the modem no need to install an entire rom just for signal issue as far as "suit my phone" u have to try different roms for that i suggest you should read a few threads on the site
I tried flashing Poland, UAE and PAK ROMs. But nothing worked. I still have the worst signal strength

Stuck on Samsung logo

I was not getting any network with i9300XXELLA so I´ve flashed with odin I9300UBDLJ2_I9300VILI1_I9300ZVVDLJ1_HOME.tar (which is supposed to be the ROM for Brazil, and carries Vivo). Now I´m stuck on the Samsung logo. Any thoughts?
you can try doing a factory reset.
You didn't answer in that thread, did your IMEI match the one on the box?

Any stock rom should work, try a wipe as suggested.
Are your imei and serial numbers correct?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I´ve already tried 3 different stock roms and no luck.
I´ve removed the batt and it looks like a label used to be there but it was pealed off so I cannot tell that the serial or imei are...
Do you think maybe a custom rom would make any difference?
So you don't want to wipe or what?
I did wipe.
Are you sure you have a i9300? Have to double check.

What´s weird is that it was working with the first custom rom. I remember it had some t-mobile on it...so I´m not sure what´s what.
You still need to check if the IMEI is correct though.

You have to try each modem to suite you. For example, lp1 works great with me until last night it broken and my simcard not detect, now I'm using ls6. Some people suggest to try kh3 and dvl. But honestly, you better flash your self to see the result. Here I give you link to our beloved member's host site. You can find his collections of modems. And my suggestion, you might want to install GetRIL from play store as well.

If your phone is rooted and you have a custom recovery, shut down your phone, hold the power + home + volume up buttons to boot into recovery. Flash your modem through recovery.
