I flashed CarbonROM today, this is a fantastic ROM! W/o any mods, I had "Maritime" listed everywhere as my carrier (same issue as on the 4.1.2 ROMs until I flashed the .33 radio). Baseband version showed Unknown. AT&T is my carrier and all connectivity is fine.
So I flashed the .33 radio and same - Maritime everywhere, Baseband unknown.
Any suggestions how to tidy up this nit? TIA.
Change carrier label?

I haven't used carbon, but unknown baseband and maritime are indicators of the att jb modem from my experience. Are you sure your last flash of .33 took? I think I'd try flashing the modem again...

You are aware that Maritime IS AT&T and you're not getting any roaming charges, right?
You should just be able to use the "Custom Carrier Label" option to change how its displayed.
I reflashed the .33 modem successfully and changed the carrier label. Baseband still shows Unknown; status bar drop-down still shows Maritime. I have only the AT&T APN's in Mobile Network. Again, this is cosmetic and I'd like to clean it up, if I can.
FWIW, I flashed the ICS modem and everything is back to normal, working fine. Baseband reports M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.12034, pulled this modem from the PA thread in the Development section.

Guys I have tried to use bb67 today. I am having issues with gps. It wont connect things like fancy widgets but will work in google maps. I tried on 3 seperate roms Tripnmiui froyo, overdrivegb, and tripncm6. I flashed back to bb54 and it started working again.

Every custom ROM uses a specific baseband used by the dev, so it could be a compatibility issue. However, wrong baseband on a custom ROM usually results in bootloop, not gps issues.
Baseband 67 is actually from regional Germany firmware, so it could also be that the new baseband is not good for your regional networks.

You are correct. That was the problem. I went into the GPS settings and found that it was locating from overseas. I just have to remember or find the settings for the US.
I flashed passion v13 and now i have no service
Check your APNs. You might need to restore them.
Im now running Slim but still no service). i found where to set the APN back to default. is that what you mean?

you may want to flash one of the ics modems listed there. I had a cm7 modem flashed on my ics phone and it could not detect any cell towers, along with the apn settings which all dissapeared. I put back a compatable Modem ,and it started working again.
hope it help
Hi there
I think the reason why I do not see a network or SIM card is because the baseband is empty as well as the IMEI.
I installed ICS Dynamite 4.0 and I assume that maybe the missing baseband is the reason.
I am Germany right now, does it matter what baseband I am going to use?
Interestingly when I flash back a working Cyanogen 7 rom a baseband is back.
Any tips?

cm7
which cm7 build did you flash?

Are you on the old baseband?
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium
being in germany or any other part of the world really shouldnt matter about baseband....v10 is old baseband, if you rooted a stock phone, than yes your on old baseband or so I was when I first got this phone....In order to get v20, you need to use LGDMP v1.5, search for Doktonor's thread on flashing with LGDMP....it's not that hard really, and applies to any v20 series (a,b,c,etc)...all you do is extract the 7z file format, open LGDMP, you'll have 4 files total in this extracted folder.....I cant remember to the T on the whole process but the thread by doktonor is with pictures and well be able to help you out....if your having a problem with mobile data and dont want to risk switching basebands, than look out for aspee's baseband fix or a funny sim fix....it's best to go ahead and flash new baseband, it's easy though....as far as your phone not showing IMEI, that's common on some CM7 based roms, even neko95's Moto Razr-UI v7 rom shows no baseband on my phone, not exactly sure why it does that but I am on new baseband (obviously, since mobile data works)
hello fellow xdas
while back i had gotten my hands dirty with the CM10 project as i just couldn't wait for the official update! i learned quickly that i had serious problems with antenna/reception. i tried carious base bands (as recommended on forums) using GetRil/flash.Odin. this didnt seem to help, even though i would get better reception, my signal was unstable. In the process i tried other roms like JellyBam and had the same issue.
As this is my main phone and i do actually need to call with it, i went back to the stock rom i downloaded. but surprisingly i still have the same issue! GetRil also shows that i have incompatible RIL/baseband. this is what it shows:
RIL: I9100NELP2; I9100XXKI4
Baseband: I9100XXLPQ
FYI: i am located in the Netherlands and use T-mobile network.
so have i installed the wrong ROM or done something wrong in the process... ? does anyone have any experience with this? i much rather have CM10 but only if i can get to call normally once again?
thanks

Use either of the 2 links below to download either the NELP2 modem of the XXKI4 modem, and them flash them onto your phone via Recovery Mode. That should resolved your incompatible RIL issue.

thanks a lot zee54,
can i just go back to my CM10 or JellyBam, install the above mentioned radios and get everything working? or does it depend on the RIL which that ROM is running! I have tried a number of modems when i had CM10, but dont know if i tried those... i did try BVLP7 for sure
Based on this forum right here i need to have the I9100BOLPD ROM as stock for Netherlands T Mobile!

The modem is independent of the ROM, mate. So it wont make much of a difference whether you install the radio on stock firmware or on CM10. You could try using the modems mentioned by zee54 with CM10 and seeing if it helps. Also, give it about a day or so..since the phone tends to take a while to get 'used' to a new modem.

The unstable signal or "RIL Crash" as it it called isn't actually caused by having an incompatible RIL and Baseband (modem). It is a more complicated issue which I don't fully understand myself. But what I do know is that it currently affects all customs roms that are based on CM10 and use the CM Kernel. So switching modems might help recude the frequency of the problem but probably won't irradicate it completely.
You should not experiencing this problem if you go back to stock samsung firmware. If you experience problems you might want to do a full wipe (Data, Cache, Dalvic-cache) before reflashing and fix permissions afterwards.
On a more positive note, I have found that using the Siyah Kernel with your custom rom does seem to eliminate this problem, or at least reduce it occurance to such that I have not noticed it happening.
So personally i would suggest that if you wish to go back to CM10 or JellyBam ROMs, then do so but also install the latest Siyah Kernel for the S2 from here http://www.gokhanmoral.com/
(Here's the XDA Thread for the Siyah Kernel - [KERNEL] SiyahKernel v4.1.5 (v5.0a2))
I am currently running CM10 with the Siyah Kernel v5.0b2 and it is working very nicely
great stuff guys... 2x thanks for both of you!
Zeey54, i just had Siyah v5 Kernal installed, installing the latest JellyBam right now! so lets see what happens. i was suspecting that beside the RIL/baseband there were other factors as i did not see any significant difference between them. but then again i dont trust my judgement on such issues as my knowledge is quite limited.
will send an update with the result after installation in a few min.

installed the BOLP7 modem, overall reception is much better! data connectivity is also better and faster. but i still have some periods which my receptions drops and goes back up, seems like radio/modem crash (if im right). dont know if that is due to the kernel or modem or ...?
the reason i went for BOLP7 modem was because the latest official stock rom from t-mobile Netherlands was I9100BOLPM_I9100TNLLP8_I9100BOLP7, so i thought that would be the best one to try!
will wait a little more to see if this improves as the modem settles.
4th official ROM too much coverage you please make a review ?
need modem
First of all, thank you mate for your hardwork and awesome utility.
I have a Samsung galaxy S2 I9100G , recently flashed jelly bam custom rom. I am based in Saudi Arabia, the reception is not clear and people complain that it is switched off or out of network. I tried calling with another mobile and i got a response that my mobile is switched off, at the same time i checked my S2 mobile , it shows the full signal of the network in status bar.
what should i do? Which modem should i flash. the getRIL shows RIL/baseband is matching (I9100GDDLP5).
cheers

hey, i got the sgs2 (i9100) and a stable cm9 for a while now. but i have problems with my 3g connection. i believe it is not my carrier, because i got two simcards (germany and austria) and the problems are the same: i got a (almost) full cyan connection bar with "H" or "3G" in my statusbar. but there is no connection (browser, yt, fb, etc...). only if i turn on flightmode, wait for a while and then turn it off again, then i have 3g for a while. but eventually it will break off again.
so i thought maybe it will help when i change the modem version. but for that i have a few questions:
- is "baseband" in settings/about the modem version?
- do i flash modems also via the recovery as i do with the rom?
- does the modem-sw come with the rom?
- where do i find modems and how do i know which are good (for me)
and while i am on it:
- do i flash kernels also via the recovery as i do with the rom?
- does the kernel come with the rom?
- why would i need another kernel?
tysm!

yes baseband means modem.
You can flash modems through odin or recovery depending on which version you have downloaded.
Yes, the developer adds a modem to his firmware usually it is the best one for his region of the country as he is testing his software.
Look around of the thread posted about and check for your country code to find the best for you.
Yes, you can flash through odin or recovery.
yes, kernal comes with rom.
Some people prefe rcertain developers kernals, so they chane from stock kernal, also kernals for 4.0.4 and above have a brick bug issue in stock. Custom kernals have disabled this bug.
cm 9 safe because it is an older version. most popular kernals are siyah or dorimanx and some otherts.
Current leaked jb version need philz that is the only kernal beside stock that will work for the firmware.
thx for the link!
what it doent say: is the modem included in a nandroid backup? will it be restored when i do a restore?
thx,

yes, if make an nandroid back-up modem is included and will be restored. If it is an older nandroid back up. it will have the version of the modem that was in use at the time of the back up.
thx!
No it won't, modems don't backup with a nandroid.

Haha, it's ok, pretty much everything get backed up with a nandroid but the modem (baseband) doesn't. Some roms install a different modem for you, others don't. Have a look at this thread, they have a list of flashable zips (cwm) of different modems and explanations. U might also want to read about the RIL and try the app GetRil, but apparently it can cause issues.. I don't fully understand it myself yet
