Stock Radio gone Haywire on Stock ROM - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
I have a i9100 from Virgin Mobile Canada, and the phone is starting to act funny. Often times, the signal will drop to zero at places where they're use to be signal. I downloaded network signal info, and its reporting a positive dB reading. There's an error that indicates its an issue with a positive reading.
Whats the best way to fix this? It's currently on GB.

How about trying out a different modem?

I have the exact same issue as the original poster. The question is, anyone have a tip on what radio (that is a modem, right?) we ought to get? I am currently in Singapore, on Singtel.
My phone is running 4.1.2 stock ROM
This is a european ROM, allthough I bought the phone here (wanted the European languages) and flashed the ROM myself about a year ago.
I have Baseband I9100XXLS8
I have read up a little and see that some radio's might be optimized for the carrier the ROM was made for. In my case I think the ROM i got was for Telenor, Norway.
If anyone can please point me in the correct direction, I would be more than happy to go look for myself. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks!

So after looking for modem, and not radio, I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950
I think both myself and the op should go there and have a look.:highfive:

NOOB?
Is there any need for being outright rude?
Reported?
For what?
A forum does not exist for the SHV-E120S and the SGSII is the "best fit".
Need a developer for a custom ROM for SHV-E120S
Is there any custom ROM available for SHV-E120S?

Update aftermath problems

Since the last update for the s2 last week iv been having problem, so im wondering if anyone can shed some light please.
The first thing I noticed was my emails wont sync, iv tried on a number of occasion to get them to auto refresh changeing the times for on peak and off peak, but nothing seems to work. Theyl only refresh if I do it manually and then it loads up week and week old emails iv deleted.
The second thing is some of my apps, mainly tapatalk, first when im in a post and press the back button it skips back two stages very annoying, so I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it wont let me log in to any of my forums, even more annoying.
The only way I can get on my forums is useing the web pages very painful now im used to tapatalk. So help please

Have u updated from ICS to JB? If so, have u done a factory reset?
A factory reset (data wipe) is recommended to ensure smooth functioning of the new firmware.

Sorry not to sure what that means it says iv got android version 4.2.1? If I do a base reset will I lose all my apps pics videos ect?
Are you sure it's 4.2.1? And not 4.1.2?
How did u update? OTA or Kies?

A factory reset will cause u to lose ur contacts, call history, downloaded apps, messages, calendar entries, bookmarks and settings.. ur files, documents, downloads, music, videos, photos etc will be safe.

To get the older version (probably Ice Cream Sandwich), u need to download the appropriate firmware and flash it using Odin (a program similar to Kies).
Sorry to say this, but you need to do a little bit of reading if you're planning to downgrade ur phone or flash via Odin. If ur interested, I can point u in the right direction.:thumbup:
Or u can try to backup as many stuff as you can (using apps from the Playstore) and then do a factory reset.

[Q] how to get warranty back!

So i rooted my GS2 I9100 phone , i want to make sure how i can get my warranty back and what procedure i would like to follow..I am new into this so pls give me full step by step explanation for this..thank you...
Model No-i9100
Android-4.1.2
kernel version-3.0.31-Jeboo_Kernel_v1.2a+
Re: [Q]
If u get a yellow triangle (on booting) after rooting, and/or ur binary count has increased (in Download mode), then ur warranty has been void.
To get ur warranty back:
1. Flash a stock firmware (or a stock kernel if u already have a stock firmware) to get rid of the yellow triangle.
2. Use a USB Jig or TriangleAway app to reset ur binary counter.
Note: TriangleAway app can also remove the yellow triangle.

Try an app call "trangle away", it can reset flash counter of your phone so that you can get you warranty back.

U can get all stock firmwares from sammobile.com. Just download the correct firmware and flash via Odin.
Be warned that u may lose ur user data while flashing.

Ok then NOOBs . There has been foul language, blatant use of the "N" word (noob, not the other) and now discussion on genitalia size.
This thread is cleaned and I can't understand why it has de-evolved into such a fracas so quickly. Help out if you want or not. If you don't then move on.
Also OP, Rooting your phone has nothing to do with instability. It is what you have done since rooting it that has caused these problems. Either installing something or deleting something is the reason. Root in itself, did not.
Thread Cleaned, so let's start over.
btw Triangle Away app can be found here.
Enough!!! Move on

[Q] Odin doesnt turn yellow!

Hi..sorry ...new to samsung flashing..I have installed drivers but still in Odin, ID:COM doesnt turn yellow color in download mode...it is always blue...any idea how to resolve this? and other guide said it should be blue only..well it is blue but flashing is aborted!
It shows that u haven't searched this forum, or u don't know how to.
Odin has two versions, with two different colors to show that ur device has been detected:
v1 = YELLOW
v3 = BLUE
I do hope u know what you are doing.

There are many reasons why a flash could be aborted:
- Kies still running
- Wrong firmware
- Interference by anti virus
- Buggy cable
Please post the log generated by Odin.

[Q] Latest UK stock firmware unlocked

Guys,
Ive had my S2 since its release but i want to sell it in order to fund my S4. Ive been using the custom Litenin Rom ever since but want to put it back to the latest UK stock firmware. Can anyone point me in the direction of what to download as my chin hit the floor when i saw the hundreds of different firmwares available. Although im on T-mobile, im 99% sure that my phone was factory unlocked on purchase. Im very familiar with Odin and the process as ive updated Litenin Rom several times, its just knowing which file to download.
Thanks guys
Steve
Have u tried sammobile.com?

OK thanks for that, lets assume i downloaded the T-Mobile one, will that affect the fact that my phone was factory unlocked?

If ur phone was factory unlocked, it should be unlocked after flashing to stock. And if it gets locked, you can unlock it (after rooting of course).
Am sorry, but in my country, we only have international variant. So I don't know what will happen.
