Hi guys I am kind of new to this forum and really like all the website with so much information !
I am turning to you because because my friend wanted to buy an SGS 2 and bought one from some random guy whom he has no contact with.
The problem is now that the phone seems to be rooted because there is an yellow triangle that follows in the start up. I wonder if anyone knows how to see what kind of room is installed on the phone? I ask this because because the phone has been unlocked with the simunlock app but
the network connection is so bad, I´ve managed to make 1-2 calls to see that the phone works but i get max 1/5 bars in the connection barometer.
This made me think that maybe the root is bad performed by the guy that did flash the device from the begining.
If you guys have any kind of tweaks or ideas what to do I would really appreciate it.
I gathered some information that might help. This is taken from t he status menu in the galaxy S2.
Would it maybe help to restore everything to stock?

Sorry I choose the wrong section for my thread. Thanks to the MOD that moved it to the right one.
Root has no impact on signal strength.
But if you want to revert to stock, just download original firmware from http://sammobile.com/firmware, unpack and flash via Odin in PDA.

The ROM you use has no effect on your signal strength. The modem however, does. So you can try flashing a new modem if you're fine with the ROM besides the signal problems. ie.the UI, features offered, etc. Else you can flash your stock firmware for your region and that would solve your problem

Go to settings-wireless-mobile networks and in network mode check gsm only...if its on wcdma thats probably why u have poor signal
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Thanks a lot for the answers ! I´ve already tried to switch to gsm mode, dosn´t get any better. I will try to flash to a different modem but I have a few questions. Does it matter wich modem is current on my phone before i flash to another?
And if someone could point me in the right direction about wich modem I should use for my region, I live in sweden and use a swedish sim card and operator.
Does it matter wich modem is current on my phone before i flash to another?

No.
For Sweden I think it will be I9100XXLQ6.
If you got the phone from a totally unknown person, i would suggest to revert it back to complete stock, and then start making all the changes you want from scratch, just to be 100% safe.
I agree i´ll flash everything back to stock and start from the begining, I think it´s the best way. But 19100XXLQ6 is the modem that my phone says I have, does that mean that I´am on stock baseband?`Otherwise if someone could show me a link or something for a step to step guide of how to restore everything back to stock.
Thanks a lot for your help guys !
Look backup your efs folder before you start pissi g about with stuff.
Then go to that link and get a 4.0.3 stock firmware for your region.
Then come back here and you can be advised about like siyah kernel/nand backups/roms.

Thanks to 'cascader' I have used a program to extract the Stock ROM for our Three UK Galaxy Aces. Thanks again 'cascader'!
The zip file contains:
Cooper_v1.0.ops - Partition table etc. for the Ace ONLY
SS5570_Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.38.exe - Odin 4.38 - To flash the firmware
S5830XWKT5_S5830H3GKT3_S5830NEKT2_HOME.tar.md5 - The firmware
SS_DL.dll - This file is used ONLY by Kies so is un-needed
This is a ONEPACKAGE file meaning you only need the cooper.ops file and the firmware to flash. If you do not know what you are doing - http://lmgtfy.com/?q=galaxy+ace+odin+onepackage+flash or http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-flash-official-stock-firmwares.html

will i need to convert filesystem back from ext 4 or will flashing do this?
my phone was on O2 but after failed attempts at finding the firmware for it, i just stuck an unbranded stock from asia on there...works wonders
It has to be flashed by ODIN @PJ147 Use the included files for ODIN and the instructions from either link
@King Kaze - I was using UK XEU but it was only 2.3.3, This is 2.3.6 and includes Three's network tweaks which makes my 2G roaming a bit better, but completely useless still. I have to wait 2 minutes for 0.facebook.com to load on Opera! If I use Opera on any other phone on 2G m.facebook.com loads quickly. I'm thinking it's Three restricting how fast things can download/tx-rx on 2G, Their websites load alright in seconds... I asked them about this and they denied that they restrict speeds on 2G which makes me laugh.
0.facebook should load faster than all the other facebook sites because it barely has anything
Yeah, It should but Three restrict my 2G speed so it loads really slowly :L

Is this stock rom rooted? And if so, how do you go about unrooting it?
is better than DDKQ8?
@Swiftkilla - I don't know sorry, I regrettably got rid of the phone after I posted this so I didn't check
@kevo02 I don't recommend it for you. I see you're from Costa Rica and on 'ICE' - This rom is made by Three UK so I only recommend it on Three's phones. Sorry!
Note: I won't be checking this thread much, I don't really come on XDA and I sold my Galaxy Ace back in February I will still help though if you need anything
HI I tried doing everything like you said. It wont register on 3 network and when u dial it says mobile network unavailable, any advice would be good

Are you able to tell me which firmware you used? I'm like you and cannot seem to find any o2 firmwares anywhere on the internet, even though they are listed on their own website!
Is your IMEI still present? *#06# from dialer, should be 15/16 digit number

I know this thread is a little dusty, but the contents still apply . When I go to start the flashing in odin, it comes up saying "Please connect phones!!".
I have the latest Sammy USB drivers at hand and I'll try it again once installed, but in the mean time, have anybody else faced a similar issue?

Hi all,
My gf got a new SGS2. It was branded with Play Poland and it was running v2.3.3 of Android.
I thought I would flash it to CM9 ICS nightly like mine (it was bought in France can't remember if it was branded or not).
I first flash the CM9 resurrection and then flash the same nightly as on my phone (20120524). But on her phone I had strange problems like wifi would connect but not get access to the internet (my SGS2 was fine on the same network), very low GSM signal etc. I thought it could be a modem issue so I flashed to LPS but nothing changed.
I eventually reflashed but with DarkyROM resurrection based on GGB KL1. In the installation infos thread (which I cannot link to because I dont have 8 posts), it said to use the .pit and the PDA, which I did.
Since then it is stuck on the black and white GT-i9100 screen with a yellow /!\ and won't boot into GGB anymore. I can get into download but not into recovery. Custom binary in download shows 2.
I don't want to aggravate the problem anymore and I don't know what to do now... I hate myself so much for not backing up the original ROM. I thought I wouldn't need to because there was no personal data on the phone. And now I don't know where to get a copy of the original branded image for the whole phone to bring it back to life.
Please advise.
It was bought in France and you didnt even check to make sure it was the I9100 international.
Take the back cover off, remove the battery and check the info.
Please please dont flash one custom rom on top of another custom rom when things are obviously going wrong.
Check out this thread and read a few more while your at it please.

Should be ok
Download the stock firmware (there is a thread on this site for it) and flash using Odin on your PC. There are plenty of guides around for it. If you can get into download mode this should work.

My french SGS2 is fine, it's the Polish SGS2 that's having trouble.
There are no warnings regarding local versions and I assumed that a GT-I9100 was like any other one; one difference would be in the software hence my mistake. I was obviously wrong.
I thought that maybe the CSC didn't match (I didn't check before as I assumed all localisation was software) but couldn't do anything about it.

I looked everywhere I could and didn't find the branded gingerbread 2.3.3 Play Poland firmware… Any suggestions?
---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 AM ----------
Looking back, I think the stupidest things was to go from branded gingerbread to custom ice cream sandwich and back to custom gingerbread (with .pit) because apparently you cannot go back and forth between GGB and ICS
I go back and forth between gb and ics all the time, no probz.. I never touch odin thou

@OP what comes to my mind is that you corrupted your efs folder content. That will require you sending your phone in.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I have had similar issue and told samsung it happend while i was updating. They emailed me a postage, had my phone back 2 weeks. But seems like it should not be a tough fix. I also go between gb and ics frequently and have no prob.
efs corruption sucks
I can't send it in, it has the yellow /!\ on boot and hangs on it...
If I flash a stock kernel, the /!\ will disappear and I can send it in maybe?
Hi,
There are several official firmware packages listed on this thread for Poland: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I did a quick scan, and found XXKE4, XXKF2, XXKG2, but it's a huge thread, so there are probably lots more.
The thread also has a good guide for flashing/rebuilding using ODIN.
Hope that helps.
Hmmm so with the help of a friend we managed to put it back on stock ICS XXLPB.
But I still have this weird radio bug. I have two phones sitting next to each other, on the same network.
The weird SGS2 has 1 bar and the other phone has full bars. Same goes for wifi, both SGS2 on the same network within 10 cm of each other.
They both get full reception but the weird SGS2 cannot access the internet or any other device on the network.
Although it has a correct IP and I can see it connected on the router.
I am at a complete loss.
You don't have to flash Poland firmware specifically. You can flash any stock firmware via Odin, choose the latest non-Frankenstein version. If you can get your phone into download mode, which you should be able to.

Wrong config in router caused the wifi mess. No idea why only the Polish SGS2 was affected.
All seems well now, its running CM9 nightly like mine and I'm proceeding to configuring it.
Thanks all for your help
Hello all,first of all before i posted this thread i read alot on xda, google and other stuff and tried to find answers.
Here is a lil bit info about my phone
1)well my last thread i posted is aboyt over heating problem and cpu control and no one actually helped my there,just one kind man told my about GETRIL app that checks if your ril matches your baseband because it is responsible foe the signal so this was my result:
Can someone tell why the hell they dont match?
2)My second thing is that i am runnig a costum rom(my company rom) but i removed all he junky file so its basicly a clean rom and i know but i am like an idiot using go launcher and in mg battery stat my systom os drain something like 25% battery, so what rom should i use???cm??and what the diffrence betwen the nighty cm and the 2 others?do i need to change me kernel if i am changing my rom?
3) my last question is: i backed up my phine using cwm and when i tried to recover it says "md5 mismatch" what should i do?i dont a pc only my phone because im in the army now for about a month so what should i do?
Thanks alot in advance

1. Your attachments are not working so you need to post the information about yur phone.
2. Custom rom creator may have have used a different modem (baseband0 from what came with the stock kernal. ril was for the stock modem not everybody remembers to update the ril when changing the modem.
3. what rom you use is your preference nobody can really tell you what is best.
cm nightly basically means the rom is recreated every night with fixes and latest firmware out. Others are created with the firmware that was leaked at the time of creation and updated with fixes only basic rom structure is not changed.
4. cwm may not have made a proper nandroid back up, you would need a computer to check why the md5 did copy properly.
i fixed the attached pics,so can you please have a loook and tell me what you think?
and what rom do you recommended? and what kerenel do you think is the best?
Sent from my GT-I9100T using xda app-developers app
1. you have a t mobile model, so that will make it a little more difficult to flash. As the file structure is slightly different from the international version.
2. ril is easily fixed, just download the recommended version.
3. you may have deleted some files that are shared. I believe T mobile needs certain branded files to work properly.
4. Kernal try siyah, it helps with most phones.
5. Rom I can not recommend any because I am not sure what will work safely on a t mobile phone.
thanks for your help!
1)what the deiffrence between t version and the others?
2)i downloaded the ril tyo can see that it is match in the pic,i think that i need to change my baseband but i dont know how and i dont know if it worth the risk.
3)should i download cm10 do you think it will improve my battery life and my system preformance?
and again thank you for your help
Sent from my GT-I9100T using xda app-developers app
1. difference is file structure and the fact that tmobile operates on the 1700 band instead of the 1900 band.
2. click on download and install recommend ril, it will install the proper files. you do not need to touch or change anything else.
3. before downloading cm10 check to see if tmobile is supported. if you make a mistake especially where the basdeband is concerned, you phone will not operate properly.

1. Not correct. The I9100T is not the T-mobile USA version. It is, in fact, nearly identical to the I9100, but differs only in SAR values, so I9100T modems tend to work better than I9100 modems. But otherwise, receives the same frequencies.
3. Again, I9100T is not the T-mobile version. As above, it receives the same frequencies as the I9100, so it also does not get 3/4g on T-mobile USA's network, unless that market has had the 1900mhz frequency refarmed to carry high speed data.
The T-mobile Galaxy S2 is the SGH-T989.
The GT-I9100T is sold internationally, mostly in Australia and Asia, from what I understand.
i already downloaded and installed the ril and it is still saying that there is bo match.
abd about the 9100T basicly everything that work on 9100 should work on the t version right?

Maybe its your carrier that either does not support 3g, or u simply cant get 3g comnection from where u live in cause the company u use doesnt push 3g all the way to your area(happens if you live in a place where not many other people live, or far away from town centres and stuff).

1)in syria there have been some problems and 3g is not getting really well to ur area anymore
2)your rom is unstable or just stupid(in this case i suggest flashing a good custom rom)
3)youflashing processes may have lead you to flash a rom meant for a nother regional residence(either the stock one u flashed through odin, or something else u flashed), in this case the "modem" of your phone(it's the kinda way your phone gets cellular data...kinda like an antenna kernel but i have no idea what it is just that it controls your antenna receiving/sending connections) might be wrong. Different modems exist according to where u live (or what operator u use i think as well).

R: [Q] 3G doesn't work in jellyBean
Good kernel: http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
If u flash i through odin get the tar version, if not and u flash it thru recovery get cwm package. Be sure to get the one for galaxy s3. About battery usage...im not sure...because i have a 2800 battery i got off ebay and it makes my phone last a whole lot longer, if u have battery problems in syria (like the power being shut down for a couple of hourse at times) u should get yourself a battery like this as well, it doesnt cost much.
Plus getting a custom rom is best, i wouldnt cound on kernel fixing your problems too much, give rootbox or jellybam a try. Or cyanogen if u wish but i dont thinks its very stable yet.
Also it is smart to get the latest version of your clockworkmod recovery, to do so download off the store the official app called "rom manager", u can use ut to update the recovery.

But abkut the rom: if ure sure cyanogen works with 3g try it...
I dont like it either so even though im still on stock ive been doing some research and ive come to the conclusion the best choiche for me would probably be jellybam. A good rom is foxhound(but it is heavy on features) or rootbox(not sure if fully developed yet...).
give jellybam a try just in case.
I dont have many more ideas to help you with your problem as you seem pretty self-conscient of how to flash stuff...i hope someone else can help you, but if i were u i would try flashing some roms and messing around a bit with the connectikn method for data inside rom preferences. U could also try looking in some syrian forums if this is a known problem with galaxy s3 in syria.....

Yeah i had a feeling you werent but i like to give out detailed explanations of my reasonments just in case...the habit i guess of helping out many of my noob friends with their phones...
and the english is not a problem im italian myself, i dont speak perfect english either
But abkut the rom: if ure sure cyanogen works with 3g try it...
I dont like it either so even though im still on stock ive been doing some research and ive come to the conclusion the best choiche for me would probably be jellybam. A good rom is foxhound(but it is heavy on features) or rootbox(not sure if fully developed yet...).
give jellybam a try just in case.
I dont have many more ideas to help you with your problem as you seem pretty self-conscient of how to flash stuff...i hope someone else can help you, but if i were u i would try flashing some roms and messing around a bit with the connectikn method for data inside rom preferences. U could also try looking in some syrian forums if this is a known problem with galaxy s3 in syria.....

syrian forums? hahaha if any syrian have this issue he won't solve it, and i see xda is the best fourm in the world
the problem is: the phone is not to me, and his owner doesn't like any rom except stock rom
R: [Q] 3G doesn't work in jellyBean
Aaahhhhh the phone isnt yours...damn that makes it even more difficult to fix the problem, even more so if you know it used to work before, but when u changed rom (or put th same one but with odin) it stopped working. That practically means u HAVE to change rom to make it work.....well try flashing stock rom for rooted devices from somewhere else but its gonna be difficult sorting this out if the owner wont cooperate.
I seriously doubt kernel will make some sort of magical changes...

i think if i flash a stock rom from 4 files, the problem will solved
Well to start of, I purchased a second hand Samsung Galaxy S4, I did check that everything was working and it was working correctly, until I tried to put the phone on airplane mode to charge it and tried activating the WiFi to keep on using it. (Note: The Wi-Fi was working before I put the phone on airplane mode.) It was strange so I turned off airplane mode and tried to turn Wi-Fi on once again and it didn't enable. So I went ahead and rebooted the cellphone and no luck. I didn't pay much attention until I got home, where I decided to restore to factory settings and yes, the Wi-Fi started working, but only for a few hours, I decided to do the same and it appeared to be working, but then again it stopped working and from that point no luck either. I looked up some possible solutions such as hard-resets, removing the battery, waiting for a while, etc, various methods and no luck. Bluetooth has the same problem but I really don't use it. The phone is unlocked and appears to have a different stock rom, as when it turns on it has "Claro" as a greeting which is a spanish network company. I am not sure if this affects in anyway but I am trying to give as much information as I can, any help would be excellent so I would surely aprecciate any help at all, thanks. :crying:
For a start, try flashing a different custom rom that is available on samsung galaxy s4 forum. If you dont know how to,make sure to read the frequently asked question that is made available in the forum. If that doesn't work, you need to flash the stock/official rom. That should do the trick. But that might lock/unroot your phone.

Okay I'm going to flash a custom rom, but just in case it doesn't work, would you be able to help me find the original stock rom? I'm not 100% sure of the original network and like I said it looked to be flashed to another rom which was not the original, once I'm done with the custom rom I'll give you some feedback, thanks!

Backup your current rom in the recovery and then proceed with any step.

Just to make sure, does the kernel affect the WiFi in any way? Because I noticed some red letters on the top left-hand corner saying something about the Kernel, and I have read about flashing the kernel which I don't understand..
