So, I had a rooted, stock install of ICS (FF18) as well as AGAT. I decided I wanted to try out Cyanogen, so after trying unsuccessfully for a number of hours, I discovered Resurrection Remix, installed it, and it was working great. Only problem is, I had no base band and could not connect to my cell network or use WiFi. I tried installing it a few more times with different modems and none worked, so I flashed back to FF18 and got that all set back up. I read somewhere that you should try using a stock JB install before installing RR, so I flashed a JB ROM, and had the same issues with no working modem/baseband. So now I decided to just give up and go back to ICS, but I'm having an issue doing that. My USB does not function at all. It charges, but does not show up on my computer, nor can I ODIN it. I've tried all the tricks on here (Re-installing drivers, different cable/computer, *#87-whatever) and it still will not work. I can't exactly reflash it without ODIN or CWM, and am at a loss as to what to do. Thanks for any help.
EDIT: I should mention that this JB ROM is rooted, but I can't seem to access anything on my SD card, so transferring files seems to be out of the question.

Based on your reference of FF18, My guess is you're trying to install CyanogenMod for the I9100 to your SPH-D710, aka. the Epic 4G Touch.
Check your phone model. It'll be on the label under your battery. If it says "SPH-D710", you're in the wrong place.

I posted a couple days ago about some issues with rooting my phone, which I solved, but now I have some new issues. When I went to turn on bluetooth, it wouldn't turn on, just try to turn on for a couple seconds and then nothing. I tried turning on wifi, and it would go straight to showing 'error' under wifi. So, I tried a different rom beast 2.3, and being at work, I can't connect the phone to my comp (encryption issues) so I only had a copy of the rom, not a kernel. Once I had beast installed I lost my network too! so I couldn't connect to my provider's network. I wiped everything, brought back AR 1.1, and am currently without bluetooth, wifi, and network. When I scan for networks my telus network shows up, as well as bell, rogers etc.
Is this a kernel issue? As soon as I get home that's the first thing I'll be trying out

yes its a kernel issue. what version of software are you running?
I had the wifi error issue, and i flashed the kernel on top of the rom and it works now
Depending on the ROM you flashed, it may or may not display "Flash Kernel after." In which then you flash it. This'll take care of all Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Issues!
If you're having issues let me know.
I had the same issue I was using stock kernel for tmobile version 1.36.531.6 on mine which I had over the air updated to 1.43.531.3. This created the wifi error and bluetooth issue, I had to try different kernels to try to figure this thing out...It will posted in my read me page when I get a chance
It's a kernel issue, there are actually three different kernels, not two, I posted this in xboarders thread, but He hasn't updated his page.
kernels
1: for tmobile software stock 1.43.531.3, this is not available anywhere on the amaze forums, i had to personally extract this from the rooted stock rom that xboarder provided
2: for tmobile software stock 1.36.531.6 and 1.36.531.5 and lower, this stock i believe is the one xboarder has up as the original boot.img
3: faux's custom kernel, this kernel will work with all versions i believe
no luck, flashed faux kernel 3x's and still same problem.
Any other ideas on what it could be?
I get a signal for the phone, no 4g icon, same error with wifi, and nothing with bluetooth or network.

Aren't your 2 questions the same? Just asking because when you go into software information there is no listing for software version, only software number which displays the name of the Rom you are running. Which would make it answer to both of your questions.
To the Op, are you sure the kernel flashed correctly when you flashed fauxs kernel? Did you use the EFK to flash it or did you try and flash it through CWM? Go into software information and tell us what it says under kernel

lol ok. but the thing is, is that he said he flashed faux's kernel and the stuff still didn't work, which it should no matter what rom hes running, unless of course he was running a sense 3.5 rom which im sure hes not from reading his posts. this is why i'm assuming he did not flash the kernel correctly... wouldnt u agree? we'll see when he finally posts what it says in his software information for what Rom hes running and what it says his Kernel is.

yes lets wait, with people with lets experience, I tend to dumb things down when asking questions...I am not doing it to demean them, but It's the only way to get any real good answers and being able to help them. Then over time they'll learn
sean, I was running the android revolution 1.1, and tried a couple different kernels and nothing
But I ended up fixing the issue finally. The super wipe zip file I downloaded with AR 1.1 was corrupt, and wouldn't load properly, so I was installing a rom without doing a wipe every time. So, I put a working copy of the zip on the sd card, and did a manual wipe of the caches, re-installed AR 1.1 and all is well.
So, even though I was following all necessary steps, I failed to realize that the wipe zip was faulty, and really messed everything up, and when I changed the rom again to beastmod, I didn't install the correct kernel with it, so yet more issues.
Happy to say that it's all over, and I have a much faster phone with alot less bloat on it. Thanks to everyone!

Flashed the kernel as xboarder showed in his thread and video.
Hey everyone. I have a friend who has been attempting to root and install roms on his i777 device for a while now and every time it seems like something else gets screwy. I have an HTC so I know little about the process of working on his Samsung device, I thought it would be about the same but it seems way more complicated... Anyway I think all his problems started with a bad ROM he installed unknowingly when he first attempted to root his phone. And since then he has went to ICS then back to Gingerbread and it keeps getting more crazy. He has tried to do a factory reset on it but it fails half way through now so it wont even let him pull that off.
So my two questions are:
1) What is the best way to get this phone completely cleared up?
2) And what is a good/dependable Gingerbread ROM for this device?
I did a bit of digging on ROMs and found several in the "AT&T Samsung Galaxy SII i777 Index" thread. But since I dont have this device I cant try any of them out for him, and like I said early I know little on Samsung devices.
Thanks for any help!

1) Full wipe in CWM.
2) No one uses Gingerbread ROMS anymore (for the most part). As a matter of a fact we'll be getting Jellybean soon! Stick to an ICS rom, I recommend either AOKP or CM9.
EDIT: If he wants more of a stock feel, try out Mystics Glory.
Ok. Number one, if he wiped with the stock ics kernel installed, there's a chance he messed up his phone. The stock ics kernel had a severe bug in it. Number two, after he's no longer in ics stock kernel , do a full wipe including system, data, cache, dalvik, and run kernel cleaning script. Thirdly, there are a number of roms out there. Tell him to try them and see which one fits.

I thought about doing all the wipes as well. I wasnt sure if they would work or not though because he cant backup and the factory restore isnt working. I told him to try it through CWM and recovery apparently neither are working well.
And he doesnt want ICS anymore because they changed how the phone connects with tether. With Gingerbread he just had to freeze Tethering Manager to get it to work in ICS Tethering Manager doesnt exist anymore so the same process doesnt work.
However Im sure he would like an ICS ROM if it unlocked tethering for him. The illuminati ROM on my Vivid unlocked the tethering for me, is there something similar for the i777?

In AOKP you can tether with no issues(it also unlocks it). As far as the other stuff, if he did a full wipe like the post above said, with stock recovery. His phone may be messed up
Alright thanks for the help. I'll see if we can get anywhere this afternoon with AOKP. I'll be back after we see where that gets us! lol
I can't post to the dev forum, so maybe someone over here can help:
I tried the PA ROM, because I really love the hybrid mode. The ROM has worked fine and looks great, but whatever version I flash, the mobile network, both data and phone, simply doesn't work.
It briefly connects to my provider (drei.at) and immediately disconnects, no matter whether I have data connection enabled or not.
Have tried this with all available versions of PA and did the usual routine: wipe, format system, wipe data. I even went totally back to a stock ROM, tried various modems, the current one being XXDLH9, which works just fine on [email protected] 0.6 ROM.
Had the same problem with Omega, FoxHound, and god knows what other ROMs I tried. No matter what, the only JB ROM actually working is [email protected] 0.6, that's it.
Is this a known phenomenon or have I overlooked something obvious?
The phone used to be a branded and simlocked Austrian T-Mobile, but ever since it has been debranded and SIM unlocked.
Any ideas?
All i can suggest is your apn settings?
Can try Offline SIM APN Database (get on Google Play) to insert the correct apn settings.

Thank you for the suggestion. The APN settings on a fresh install, all wiped, are correct and the same as in a working setup.
Any other ideas? Am I really the only one with that problem?
Modem tried APN correct .
Suggest next step is factory reset ..
Step after that is to install an official stock rom .
Others who may have a problem post in the roms thread .

Did a factory reset, totally clean install with everything wiped.
Also, did a clean wipe and installed official stock ROM. Lost root, started from scratch and still didn't work.

No, that's not what I said. Stock ROMs work just fine; I actually just flashed the latest leak (DLI5) and had no problems with the network. The problem hasn't changed, so it's what I wrote in the OP: Only JB to work ist latest leak and [email protected] 0.6. All others can be installed but have not network connection other than WiFi.

Thanks for trying to help.
Yes, I have been playing around with all kinds of basebands, trying to flash modems etc. but that does not seem to be the reason for it. I have had different modems working and the very same modems simply did not work with PA at all. Best example ist yesterday's leak DLI5 which I flashed and had a virgin like system working just fine with my network. I then flashed the PA ROM, which then had the same baseband as the latest stock ROM, but, alas, same story: No network.
The weird thing is the brief connect it always shows in the status bar. It lasts roughly 4-5 seconds and then disconnects again, only showing the empty network status display.
It really sucks, because I find the idea of hybrid ROMs really appealing, in fact, this seems to me as a truly superior way of making use of the 720p display.
Need to try logcat next to see whether the connect/disconnect somehow can be monitored from there. Will report on that.

I understand some, but not all.
My mobile networks are not working.
I don't get any notification at the top of the screen either saying I'm on a mobile network.
I've messed around with the APN settings. It seems that every now and then it'll connect for a brief moment, but I can't really do anything unless I'm connected to WiFi.
Any help would be appreciated.

Installed this and now I'm here.

Hi All,
This is going to sound weird, but I have tried everything and im still stuck. I have gone through the searches but unable to find a solution.
I have an i9300 International (Australian, through Optus), and it's fine except for one issue. When i flash and run a Cyanogenmod build, or basically any NON-Official (Paranoid Android, AOKP and even AOSP) ROM WiFi just REFUSES to connect to any access points. On offical ROM's (from any region) its fine.
I have tried multiple access points, every WiFi encryption, including Open, but it just does not connect. It can see WiFi networks however. I have tried multiple CM builds and others, but once again only Official ROM's work.
Has anyone else experienced this? And found a solution?

You must flash stock ICS rom with odin first, and the flash CM10 to have a working Wifi connection.
or flash XXLH1 Modem and that should fix it.
Could someone please explain why these steps must be done to get WiFi to work, and what needs to happen to eliminate this?
I have tried all these steps and it still did not work. Friends has the same phone, and we did the exact same steps with the exact same ROM's, his WiFi worked, mine did not.
I just can't understand why mine would be so different..

Hi everyone. I'm having some serious (or at least I think so) problems with my I777. I live in Colombia, and I bought it over two years ago, had it shipped over by a friend, unlocked. Up until today I'd been using it normally, without any major problems.
However, the last couple of days it started behaving strangely, (turning itself off every once in a while, losing data, etc), so I decided to update my rom today.
I tried to install a new CyanogenMod 4.4 from this site, but I got some kind of status 7 error and it didn't behave properly after that.
Next thing I did to try to fix it was flash a stock JB 4.1.2 rom via Odin.
It worked, but that's when the major problem struck... Apparently my phone got locked for AT&T again or something. It's not recognizing my sim-card anymore. It shows the "no-sim" notification on the top bar, yet it also shows it has a signal (no data, just phone signal), even when my sim-card isn't inserted. When I go in the settings to try to access the mobile networks it says insert sim card even when it's in there.
I did a lot of searching and I used GalaxSimUnlock, which I got from this site too, and it confirms my phone is unlocked.
So basically... What the heck happened?? Is it possible that after three years of using it perfectly with my Colombian sim, the AT&T lock just "came back" or something after flashing a stock rom?
Any clue guys?
If you used galaxsimunlock the unlock is permanent.

After you flashed back to stock, did you try to root again and flash another custom ROM?
I could be wrong on this, but the AT&T stock firmware may not be giving you the choice to register the SIM or change the APN settings for you particular network. I can't confirm this though as I never flash to stock long enough to actually use it. I always root and go back to something else immediately afterwards.
The only suggestion I have is to go back to a custom ROM and try again.
If you are trying to go to KitKat, be sure you have the newest compatible recovery (CWM or TWRP) as the versions of those that work with JB will not allow you to flash a KitKat ROM. There are plenty of threads that will tell you what versions you need. If it's an SGH-i777 model then all you should need to get the proper recovery is to flash one of the two KK compatible kernels as the recovery is packaged with them.
Good luck!
