Can You Please Help Me On My Samsung GS2 Problem? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need to flash a modem to my Samsung Galaxy S2. The history of the problem is on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841440&page=4.
Karpfenhai gave a solution and I quote:

If you are not yet rooted, you need Odin to flash the modem.bin.
You can also instal an update.zip via default system recovery, but it may be hard to find a compatible zip for that.
To stop your confusion, Odin 1.84 plus Samsung kies (for the drivers) are your best attempt to get the phone working again.
Read read and read to learn how to do so.

I would say you simply need to flash a new modem to your device.
You can do this by Odin too, no root needed, no custom ROM or kernel.
Have a look onto the galaxy s2 shipped modem collection thread. --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
I recommend kh3 or ki4 modem.
Good luck!
PS: missing IMEI is just a side effect of the missing modem, don't worry it will come back.

The problem is I can't find Odin 1.84. Can I use Odin 1.85 instead?
Also KH3 and KI4 no longer exist, can't download them.
Can you please give me a better alternative to flash a modem to my Samsung Galaxy S2 to make it working again.
I will be very thankful to you. Please help me. Thank you so much.

first and foremost u have to learn on XDA is to fallow the rules ma8
since creating multiple threads for the same reason/issue is against XDA rule, and if the same is reported to the moderators, u will be infracted for sure
so bare this in mind and do not do the mistake in the future
now coming back to ur query, Yes u can use 'ODIN 1.85' instead of 1.84

Thank you so much... Can you please share how did you do it please?
I've clicked it and then when I tried to open it, my computer said it cannot open the file as it is part of a program. No known program will open it. Please tell me what to do next. Thank you very much..

PIT
phone
PDA
Etc.
Etc.
Click on PDA
Find your downloaded modem it should be a .zip file (no need to extract anything,Odin will do it all for you)
Put phone into download mode
Connect phone to PC
Make sure Odin recognizes Phone (yellow rectangular box lights up on the top left of Odin with something like COM:3 )
Make sure auto reboot is ticked and NOT repartition!
Hit start!

Can't get it right. Here's a walk-through of what I've done so far! I referred to kawadana...

and clicked that link on her post. "Modem.bin" file downloaded after clicking the above link. I opened my Downloads folder and double-clicked "Modem.bin" file to open. And here's Window prompted me: "Windows can't open this file".
Can you please give me step by step instructions, please?
If I follow you guys, I need to first download Odin 1.85 and a KI4 modem onto my computer, separately? Is that correct? I'm still on this part. Can't do the next step without doing these right. Please help me here. I really appreciate your help guys. Thank you very much for bearing with me.

Sorry didn't realize the file was a .bin file....here you go....
1. Open Odin
2. In Odin click on the (phone) button.
3. When explorer appears navigate to "modem.bin" and select it.
4. The "modem.bin" directory should now show up in the dialogue box next to "phone"
5. On your phone. Turn it of and reboot into download mode ( vol - , home button, power button)
6. Connect phone to PC.
7. Make sure Odin recognises phone. ( yellow rectangle box in top left corner)
8. Press the "Start" button.

My gawd...why you will open the bin file in the computer!
You will put that on Odin PDA section and flash your phone!
Make sure that phone is connected via usb port and odin is ruunning as administrator.

There are plenty of guides here dealing with how to use ODIN, one of which is from Intratech.
