noob in need of advise! about roms - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there XDA,
I never knew about all those roms and rooting, but i was too impatient to wait for the official release of jelly bean
So i did alot of googling and came across alot of roms, and weird terms.
I did a little research on how to flash my phone to jelly bean and thought i knew how it had to be done.
so i downloaded the rom followed instructions and succesfully flashed the rom.
But now i can't acces the internet.
Everything works, except my normal internet (3g, APN) i dont know.
I really want to keep jelly bean, but i rather have ICS with 3g
Is there any way to keep jelly bean, maybe downgrade to a previous update and have 3g?
or do i have to go back to ICS factory reset to have 3g again?
I did not root my phone by the way.
Thanks for reading, and some help or advise would be great!
Greetz,

Who Is your Provider.
go into settings - more settings - mobile networks - access points and check to see if the internet settings are for your provider.
You may have enter them manually to get internet to work. you can get the required information from your provider;s website.

my provider is tele2 (it's a dutch)
any more tips?

while in access point. hit the right mean button to get + new APN and then add tele2 settings.
If you are having trouble finding the settings or entering them, call tele2 and they will walk you through it.

Try going to Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode/Click GSM/WCDMA preferred/Then Click middle button on phone/restart phone. If that doesn't work then do this
Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode/Click WCDMA only/Then Click middle button on phone/restart phone
Or this
Settings/Wireless & Networks/Mobile Networks/Network Mode/Click GSM only/Then Click middle button on phone/restart phone Waiting a few between reboots to see if it worked
Double check that you saved your settings in APN
Or try going back to Firmware 2.1.1.A.0.16 BB 2.1.58 (stock ) to see if that works it my be your rom also read the rom post there maybe a problem fix there.
Some custom roms do have that problem at first
Sorry but I only check out stock stuff and some modified stock stuff not custom roms.
But if you go back to GENERIC/GLOBAL and if it works just go from there.

You know that a stock GENERIC/GLOBAL Firmware will get the new 2.3 update from Sony in a couple months it's said to be good. FYI
I will check out Telenor website to for settings thanks and good luck
Thanks mate,but still no result :/ just ****ing wierd cause i cant make net work at all :/
In Abount/Status it says Mobile Network type : Unknown and Mobile network state disconnected :/ i dont know why :/ still cant work :/
It looks like you're having issue with the baseband. If the baseband is unknown, go to the Dev section and have a look on the main thread, there u will find the link to baseband thread l. Then download the appropriate baseband config file and flash it on ur device.
Other option is to repair the phone via SEUS.
Hope it helps!

How to repair phone like that? My baseband show it self but mobile netowrk dosent i got signal,Wi-fi,phone calls and everything else working except mobile internet... tell me how to repair phone via Seus?
Do you have a file similar to this: (This one is my'n) Look in Titanium backup or rom manager what ever you use.
Checkin Service 2.1-update1
{database} checkin.db 512.0kb
{Table}android_metadate 1_row
{Table}events 1000_row
{Table}sqlite_sequence 4_row
{Table}stats 45_row
{Table}crashes 25_row
{Table}properties 0_row
Or something similar this is my'n but if I didn't have it my internet will not work but everything else does. i.e. wifi,gps.sms.calls.usb tether (pc to phone)
And I have theses if it helps.
Only change the setting that are described and are Case Sensitive leave all others as they are. and reboot one or two times to see waiting a few between reboots. if one does not work just delete apn. If (Guest) does not work at first just leave blank
Operator: Telenor (gprs)
APN: internet.vodafone.net
Username: guest
Password: guest
mysmtp.vodafone.se
SMTP Server: smtp.euromail.se

Good luck
If you can't fix it I would just go back to stock rom and wait for the update 2.3 you will get it real so before USA.

Have you tried or asked for a new Sim card from your provider. debranding/unlocking your phone only voids your warranty nothing else.
Also check your plan. Are you in a black out area no towers some places you can make calls but no web
Have you checked these settings

[Q] Help! Seemingly unlocked SGSII does not work with all networks?

Hi,
I'm new to both this forum and android, just switched from iphone and already running into the same dead end that I was trying to avoid. Hope to get some suggestions on solutions before trying sell it off again...
I bought a second hand SGSII which is from the UK (T-mobile), and with the help of my brother who has a SGSII and have been on android for a while, I debranded/rooted changed ROM, Kernel and Modem firmware. Before doing this I noted that it did not work with the network I am on but it did with another (both Swedish). After rooting etc I tried again, still does not work (I've tried several sims from my provider, none of them work, still only the other provider). I tried using the Sim Unlock app on Market but it is of no use: It DOES NOT ASK for a sim unlock code on start up. In fact, the unlock app worked and gave me such a code but I cannot use it. Also, I tried plugging in the code using a few of the call codes but it was of no use. And when I put *#SIMLOCK# into the phone dialer everything says 'off'.
Does anyone have any idea of what to do? I cannot go back to Samsung as I do not have a receipt. I hate to think that I have to end my use of Android before it ever started but I have searched my problem for days on end and neither me nor my brother can think of anything.
Any help most appreciated!
Cheers Matt
Android version: 2.3.4
Baseband: I9100NEKF2
Kernel: 2.6.35.11-ninphetamine-2.0.5+ ninpo at titan #20
Build no: GINGERBREAD.XXKH3
Network not working: Telia (Sweden)
Network working: Comviq (Sweden)
I am confused did you buy an unlocked phone . If not did you get it unlocked .
jje
JJEgan - sorry if I was unclear. I do not actually know for sure, but as I have never seen the screen on startup where it asks for the unlock code I suspect that it must have been. It now - same as it has been for as long as I have had it - works only with one network which has nothing to do with T-mobile (on which is was originally).
I only know of one way of unlocking, i.e. the unlock app on Market. If there are others I would be very interested!
Phone may require you to enter the networks APN settings manually .
You may not have the correct CSC file for your network for automatic connection ,
jje
Hi - been busy the last few days and unable to try getting the phone to work. I cannot enter the APN settings (which should only have to do with internet?) as I cannot connect to any network in the list - I get "unable to select network". I've tried multiple official firmwares with both only NEE (Nordic) CSC and multi-CSC (where I chose NEE) and none work. Any other ideas?
Cheers

I lost 3g access after gingerbread f/w update: Wrong firmware?

I'm in South Korea, using a sony x10. I wasn't sure if the latest gingerbread update would be released in my region, so I decided to flash the firmware myself to the latest stock gingerbread (2.3.3).
Afterwords I lost 3g access and my carrier says it's my fault or nothing they can do.
Afterwards, I rooted the phone and installed a custom kernel and still it's not available(I figured it was worth a shot).
I can see and select my mobile service provider(Sk telecom) in the list of data service providers, but my phone is not downloading any APN info from my carrier.
Any advice?
Hi,
search for APN information from your provider in the internet and enter them manually.
Somehow my APN got two additional letters and I had no 3G. I corrected the information manually and all is fine now.

You need to set up your wireless apn go to:
menu/settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network mode/gsm/wcdma preferred (click it)
Then Back button/Back button/sony ericsson/settings download then wait a few you will see it (3g/H) flash on (you do not have to click it it's just saying that is your network) then go to:
Back button/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point name. there should be two apns
one wireless/one mmsc. if for some reason you have three make sure that the top one (the house icon 3g) is checked or you will be roaming
And always remember to backup your Settings and APNs,and anything else you need to keep. There are free apps on the market to do that but the pro/key versions have more settings and help the developers and no adware. Hope this helps if not all be here tomorrow or i'm sure someone else will help too i do have some apns just tell us what network your on an we can help you set them up. Good luck
No APN info shows up at all. If I go to Sk telecom service center, can they give me the info to manually input it?
My network is for SK telecom in South Korea. Any other info you need about the network?
You can try an all see if i can find it. So give me a day and all post it
Sorry no luck that an Three other Country's i can't get for some reason. It's a bummer
Maybe someone else here can help.

Any additional info is more than welcomed, and thanks for the advice.
Just restarted my phone, and now I have NO data connection. Stupid flashing roaming indicator triangle...lol
Try rebooting. Sometimes that means you need to active. Does *228 work? There are other codes you could use like 0228 or is it 5 digits. Google for it.
Rebooting 5 times worked.. Don't know why the first 4 times didn't do the trick. May have had to do with me deleting All Cache. Still have to look for Verizon steps to get 3G on Metro PCS though lol
Thanks for advice.
Try running my milestone port & in /etc there are a zillion apns config files. It may pick the right one on activation or you could hack one of those.
Goto /etc/ apns-conf.xml it is all set to activate on metro-pcs!!

[Q] Galaxy S2, Can't edit or access APN

I have found no threads with this exact problem. I am new to smart phones, I bought an unlocked S2 gt-I9100, I checked to make sure it read my sim card before buying..it did..but didn't realize the data wasn't working. So I've searched high and low and now I'm here. When you go to APN and open it all it has at the top is APN, you can't access anything. I tried various programs to achieve this but they all say "your android phone does not allow automatic APN setup" So I try to manually do it and it pops the APN page up and you can't do anythng but the program is in the notification thing at the top thinking it is working I guess. Not syre what info on the phone you need.
Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100
Execulink - I guess was the phone company in Canada
Version 4.0.3
Build number ULTIMOBILE-SGS2-4.0.3-EXE-071212-2.1
If you need anything else let me know, Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

If you want to set up APN manually, go to
Setting>more setting>mobile network>access point name>
then press menu and choose new apn.
you need to ask your service provider to fill up APN, MCC, MNC etc;
and then, press menu and save apn.

I have tried that, I have all the info as far as APN,MCC,MNC ect. from my other phone.
When I go into Apn there is no menu. All you have is at the top Is a gear looking thing and APNs, thats it. It will not open to allow any changes or add a new APN.

Ok I see what you mean by ROM, No I haven't tried any custom ROM's
No Warranty bought it used and unlocked.
Is there a custom ROM that can fix this?
OK, solved it, As I said I tried apps to no success unlocking the APN to edit, So you mentioned custom ROM's and I did some research.
So first I rooted my phone then added theGT-I9100_ClockworkMod-Recovery_4.0.1.4.tar then flashed the newest version of the Rootbox Jelly Bean ROM to my phone and fired it up and The APN was not only unlocked it was already set up to my provider and the data was working.
I tried adding the truth77supergapps-4.2-jb for the apps but it would crash as the phone started.
Thanks a bunch for the help I'm not sure how to change the title of the thread to solved though.
I tried multiple Gapps created by different people and all crashed at start up. So went looking and found lots of people having issues with, Trebuchet not responding, so I looked for a rom that didn't use it.
So I found this Avatar ROM 4.1.2 Jelly Bean ROM For Galaxy S2 I9100 and Flashed it on my phone and flashed gapps-jb-20121011-signed, to get my google apps and it went perfectly into the phone so now I have data and my google apps.
