I flashed cm9 yesterday and whenever i leave my house to go to school, my phone needs to reboot in order to detect 3g or edge, which is kind of annoying. Anyone here knows how to fix this?

Great, and is there anywhere i can find my current modem ? or a way to back it up in case i want to go back ?
After reading the thread you suggested me, i found this: "switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel"
so maybe the problem remains on the kernel ? or you sure it lies on modem ?

Flash this script (thanks to 9000) via CWM recovery, before flashing any modem.
the script will backup your present modem into a folder named "Modem_backup" in your External SD.

edit the script with Notepad ++ or on your phone using Astro manager and change "/sdcard" to "/emmc"
If you don't know how to do that then you can buy a cheap 2 G sd card, or borrow from a friend.

1. Download your original firmware for your country/region on www.sammobile.com/firmware/
2. Extract the zip file,

No you do not need to convert filesystem to rfs, it'll automatically convert to rfs
Personally if i were you i would go with latest stable release like KPO,
CSC don't matter unless don't plan to update through KIES,

Hi Guys,
At some stage I installed a custom ROM that had Indonesian as the default language.
Even though I restore stock ROM with Odin, this Indonesian language remains as the default.
Also, the phone used to boot with Galaxy Cooper but now it boots as Galaxy Ace.
How to completely get back to original?
Must I format the internal SD?
How is this done?
No, it means that your csc is not set for your region! and since is not set KIES cannot upgrade it, but don't worry, do this:
*#06# ( Note that down )
Now
*#272*(The number you've noted down)#
Choose csc from your region so KIES can uptade (WARNING**** CHANGING CSC WILL DO A FACTORY RESET)

Crucio may be right. Looks a lot like touch CWM to me (looks exactly the same as mine). However, if you look at the log of what happened on the screen, it's gone thru every SGS2 variant it has in its checklist & seemed to fail to find all/any of them, sooo...
That would tend to suggest the firmware attempting to be flashed isn't for/doesn't work with any of those phones in that list.

Seems like something may have broken since you flashed a i777 rom on your i9100 phone. Use odin and flash a rom (stock, cm, or other odin flashable roms)
just realised by mistake I flashed different rom and it changed my model number to SGH-i777

hmm, the rom you linked and installed is for AT&T which is a wrong selection...

Those images indicate that your device failed a model and product check before it allows the package to flash. Looks like it is checking for GT-I9100, GT-I9100T, or GT-I9100M. Check your model number under your battery. Is it for sure one of these models? Or something else?
model: GT-I9100
ssn: -I9100GSMH
I'm realy confused what the hell is wrong
you have the I9100G version as indicated by the ssn. I9100GSMH., to flash you need to go to the g subforum for firmware that will work with your phone.
You can not use international version firmware.

That's not true. SSN is not indicative of the model. MODEL is the model.
I have an I9100, (NOT a G) and my SSN is I9100GSMH. I think the G in the SSN is part of "GSM", indicating the cell tech maybe?

because i can flash google apps in CWM but no roms. Then that error comes what i posted
It is obvious when you can flash a kernel, but you can't flash a ROM, because it can't properly read the NAND, but can flash a kernel. But you ask, why the kernel? Because flashing a kernel is a bit deeper than flashing a ROM. When you flash a kernel, you're changing/putting new instructions to the hardware, and when flashing a ROM, the instructions that are drewn are different and more "simple", so when flashing, ODIN will say "FAIL" instead of "PASS", or suddenly stopping the flash out of nowhere.

Hello.
I have been a member since like 6 months. I purchased my Samsung Galaxy SII from Oman in the Middle East. I had rooted it a while back by flashing an insecure kernel. Now I can't seem to update to ICS, I tried flashing the original firmware back but still no luck with the update.
I would really like some help as to how to update to ICS now. And before you call me a noob I have researched how to do it every way possible so just wanted to get some feedback on the best way possible?
On all the ICS threads there is no ICS firmware for my PDA. So I just wanted to clarify if it's safe to flash a firmware with a different PDA?
If so which one is the best which will result in the least bugs (if those are avoidable that is )? Or should I skip this and just flash a JellyBean firmware? If so which one?
Im sorry for all the questions or if they seem very noobish but I have been searching all the threads and can't find a proper answer. If someone could help me it will be greatly appreciated .

Hello.
I have been a member since like 6 months. I purchased my Samsung Galaxy SII from Oman in the Middle East. I had rooted it a while back by flashing an insecure kernel. Now I can't seem to update to ICS, I tried flashing the original firmware back but still no luck with the update.
I would really like some help as to how to update to ICS now. And before you call me a noob I have researched how to do it every way possible so just wanted to get some feedback on the best way possible?
On all the ICS threads there is no ICS firmware for my PDA. So I just wanted to clarify if it's safe to flash a firmware with a different PDA?
If so which one is the best which will result in the least bugs (if those are avoidable that is )? Or should I skip this and just flash a JellyBean firmware? If so which one?
Im sorry for all the questions or if they seem very noobish but I have been searching all the threads and can't find a proper answer. If someone could help me it will be greatly appreciated .
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy SII ( I9100 )
PDA - I9100JPKJ2
PHONE - I9100XXKI4
CSC - I9100OJPKJ1
Thanks in advance.
And love the work you guys do here. Really awesome .

ICS update
Hey I checked that link but there is no ICS firmware for my PDA ( JPKJ2 ).
So what I basically wanted to clarify is that if it's safe or me to flash a firmware with a different PDA. Like the one you showed in the second link? And the jellybean flashing works fine? The firmware is stable?
Thanks in advance.

Why don't you flash ICS 4.0.3 for United Arab Emirates?
Here's the link.
It'll not be advisable to flash the leaked JellyBean, as it isn't very stable. Sometimes the home Launcher force-closes in JB and the lockscreen hangs. So use ICS for now. And it doesn't matter which PDA version you have on your phone... those versions keep changing as new ROMs are out. But don't forget to backup your data before flashing!
Cheers!:good:
Thanks a lot! Worked flawlessly .
Now to root it which method would be the best and easiest to follow? Or will any of them be fine?
Thanks .

1) Download View attachment CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip & View attachment recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip.
2) Transfer them to your phone's external memory card.
3) Go into stock android recovery by holding "vol up + home + power" buttons. You will see android system recovery 3e.
4) Use volume down button and choose option -"apply update from external storage". After that choose recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.5-galaxys2.zip . It will flash and automatically go into Clockworkmod recovery.
5) In CWM recovery, choose install zip (internal or external sdcard - try and see in which one you find it) and then flash CWM-SuperSU-v0.96.zip .
6) After that reboot your phone and you will have root!
PS: You can press the "Thanks" button below my posts if I helped you!

If you're on ICS, flash Siyah in .tar format directly through odin. Although there are more methods to root i find this every easy. Best of luck :good:
BTW, i am too from Oman, Muscat

Usually when there is a zip file its for flashing via recovery mode, not unpacking it and flashing with odin... stupidity is what bricks phones
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Oh ok. Cool I'll try one of these. I'm assuming the differences between them all are minor ones right?
Also one last question .
If I wanted to get Jellybean on my phone, do I have to first flash the Jellybean firmware on it or can I just flash one of the custom ROM's online?
Or do the custom ROM's need stock JB to be flashed on the phone first?
Thanks for all the help guys.

Could you explain why? Then you have to root it again with Odin (this bring risks just as well as flashing through Recovery), and flash this Neatrom afterwards... Why not flash it through CWM if you know how to?

That is because this is old firmware ... It may conflict while downgrading ..
Plus this was suggested by salesale ...

I think it should work .. just flash stock 2.3.5 first and then cf-root and flash this rom and then flash the kernel it should work 100%
