Hello, first to say I'm from Spain and I don't speak English very good, but I'll try to do my best.
I have a GT-I9100 with CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2), baseband I9100XXLS8 (when I instaled 4.1.2) and Orange Spain.
My problem is when I am using mobile data, full signal, my phone often doesn't connect to the internet. I talked with a friend and he told me that I have to research how to change my baseband to the best for my android version and mobile operator. Can you help me? Tell me how to do it? Wich baseband version to use and where to find it?
If you don't understand something or you need me to tell you some other data, just ask and I'll try to do it my best.
Thanks,
Efalgae.
Just search for veyka,and google what can go wrong with flashing anything.
Read about nand/efs backups/odin pc setup/cwm and mobile odin.
Or you can just do what most of the impatient/lazy clowns on here do and flash a modem and pray nothing goes wrong.

maybe your an iphone expert

Now then, you could sit here & hope someone who uses your carrier reads your thread & suggests a modem to test, and that may or may not happen. You could spend ages doing Google/XDA searches trying to find a modem that works with your carrier, or you could do the following (And I assume you mean mobile data sometimes works, sometimes doesn't ?) which could solve your problem sooner rather than later:-
Go to Samfirmware, find the stock roms released by your carrier. Start with the most recent one. Work out which modem is bundled with that stock rom (It lists Product Code/PDA/CSC/MODEM for each firmware when you click the link), do an XDA or Google search for that modem, flash it with CWM & test it. If that doesn't improve your connectivity, try the modem bundled with the stock rom released before the most recent one, test. And so on until you find one that works. Hopefully the modem bundled with your carrier's most recently released stock rom works for you tho; you'd expect they'd test it to ensure it works for most people most of the time & in most places with their network.
Whatever you do, don't flash any RIL's unless you've tried every single modem (including those bundled with stock roms released by other carriers & even in other countries; there are dozens), only flash a RIL as a last resort.
If mobile data never works, check the APN settings in settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point names Vs the APN settings on your carrier's website (Actually, double check these anyway even if you end up testing modems as above).
Thanks to all.
Because I have no patience, I decided to flash last official firmware released by Orange Spain, found in SamMobile.
I flashed it, flashed CWM again, and CM 10.1 again.
Seems to work perfectly.
Anyway, thanks again to yor answers
And...yes, my mobile data was workin sometimes and sometimes not.

My problem is that i cannot access the 2g or 3g internet. I have the jKay mod which turns the signal icons to green. but they dont. they just come on (grey) but dont connect.
I called the operator many times to install the settings. but still no help.
If anyone in uae, can u confirm theres a gb 2.3.6 for uae?
any advice?
I recently bought a samsung Galaxy Y, and this had 2.3.6 xxkk(?) firmware with arabic support. Can any UAE user confirm that there is a 2.3.6 official update for galaxy s2?

Check your APNs to see if they changed or got wiped out?

Yep, they are still there.
I installed new one by calling the helpline. they told me to restart my phone afterwards. i did, but still cannot connect.
Is it possible that marketenabler app is causing the problem? i know that when you switch sim ids (from local to US etc) u cannot connect 3g.
but even if i try to connect with local sim id it does not connect
Man, just Google for your provider apn details for android. As far as I know 3g etc should work the same on all firmwares unless your phone is not the international version.
I have the i9100t which has a different modem. When I flash any rom I reflash just the modem and all is good again. But first make sure your apn is correct and you have selected it (should have the green dot beside it).

Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2. I live in Rep. of Ireland.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

sxi200 makes an excellent point. Make sure what your model is - GT-I9100, GT-I9100G, GT-I9100T - it WILL make a difference.

Because I've flashed an international firmware, when the phone boots up it shows i9100 and in settings / about phone it also shows i9100.
The only place it shows as an i9100T is on the sticker under the battery. So remove the battery and check just in case.
EDIT: you say you flashed an Indian firmware. Aren't Indian models the i9100G. Maybe you need to flash the international firmware if you indeed have an international model.

Well, i did go back and flash the jpkj2 2.3.5. and still no connection.
will try from an open place again later.
i have an issue with my internet connection too. i got an I9100(international version) and things were perfect till i switched to 4.0.3 and since then, my internet just refuses to connect although i have full signal strength and 3G or H displayed. but there is nothing going through.
it works again after i switch to airplane mode and back. i have no issues with wifi.
i have tried many modems and roms. i am currently using the KI4 rom and it still gives me issues.
please help.
update on situation
Hi guys,
just an update on my situation. Had the phone sent to Samsung twice for a check and bothe times it came back perfect with test sheets showing all was perfect. I decided to have another check done on the phone and it now says that the phone is blocked!! What the hell!. When i checked first weeks ago all was good and now it says it's blocked, but i'm getting 2g signal, surely i should be getting nothing if it's barred.
I have no idea who the origional service provider was of the phone, is there any way of finding out who the origional provider was or is there any way of removing this barring?
Thanks
I previously upgraded my phone's firmware to 2.3.6, seeing that Bell Canada's stock firmware for the SGS2 is 2.3.3, and has never received an update since release. 2.3.6 is much better in many ways, however the problem I encountered was random network (3g/4g) disconnection, while always being able to make and receive calls and texts. Curious to know if there is a work around to this problem? If I were to take an educated guess, could the modem file of the rom be the cause of this problem? Seeing that my SGS2 is a i9100M model, and the firmware "changes" the phone's model to i9100. Furthermore causing the network to not recognize the phone's modem?
I really would like to be able to avoid this issue because I downgraded back to stock branded courrier firmware. 2.3.3 is hard on battery usage and touch response is much worse than 2.3.6.

You didn't have to downgrade. You just needed to find modems that are more compatible with your network. Modem thread here. (easily found with a google search for "xda modems galaxy s2"... it was the fourth or fifth result)

Yeah, I already looked at that thread, including the thread dedicated to Bell/virgin courier. So I guess you missed the point of my question. I did ask what I could do to work around the problem, afterwards taking an educated guess that the modem was the issue. Maybe this forum deals with a lot of people that don't use search, but lets not put everybody on the same boat. Thanx

No offense intended, but the wording of your question didn't lead me to believe you looked at that thread, and that you were just speculating at this point that it was an issue with your modem. Sorry.
But in answer to what you could do to work around the problem, if the modem currently flashed to your phone is not ideal to your network operator, there really is no work around other than to flash a modem that is better suited.
No worries, no offense taken, was just justifying myself. So, if I understand correctly, it is the possible to flash the rom without flashing the modem? I'm just thinking logically here, but I have flashed back to stock rom, hence my network issue was resolved. I downloaded the latest 2.3.6 firmware available, so instead of flashing the modem I can leave it blank?

Hm... I honestly don't know. Where'd you download the "latest 2.3.6 firmware available"? From Intratech's official firmware thread?
If so, those packages contain everything in the zip, including the modem. I think what you can do is open up the package, and remove "modem.bin", and zip it back up. That may leave the modem you currently have... But I don't know for sure, I've never tried it.
Hello man!
[2 Questions, 1: get back stock rom]SOLVED maybe next time i better get peanut butter of my eyes first.. Thanks for talking about!
O2 German Ace S5830 stock rom PDA:XWKPY CSC:VIAKP1 BASEBAND:XWKP8 (found on sammobile, its the one from 1969...) flash first other multi-csc rom and set to VIA for future kies updates.
Get my ace a few days ago and flashed sth here and there without thinking about getting back to stock rom later. Had a HD2 some time ago where you get stock rom for all country and provider on htc homepage..
So im sitting here and want my ace back to out-of-box state but no rom ive found seems to be right. looked on sammobile.com, searched xda and at last tons of google results.
didnt know what the name of stock rom was.. only baseband XWKP8 which i only found on some russian site and that it was android 2.3.3. doestn want to try unless sbdy can say me its save..
Got my ace from O2 Germany without contract, so no simlock etc..
My intention is to get some o2 germany rom back, so i can update with kiez to latest. tried a lot of roms from sammobile, modified csc to DBT (germany) and VIA (should to be o2 germany csc code).
[2 Question unsolved]
Had problems with several ROMs with wifi / 3g network, couldnt activate/deactivate or wifi is not getting IP, need to reboot every time to fix that.. Which baseband is best for which rom / my country? (gingerbread, ics, etc...)
Maybe i am spoiled from HD2.. sry for that
PS[Maybe irrelevant: now flashing leaving EFS blank, seems to work fine too, dont know yet if better]: Something else.. Instructions for flashing rom with ODIN are confusing me, sbdy say dont touch PDA others say dont touch EFS. Flashed all the time not touching PDA, putting boot to boot, code to phone, csc to csc and modem to efs. Still have my IMEI so all right or just lucky? Read all the newbie guides (which were very confusing) imo i read sth about backup imei but i am not sure as if and how.
Hope you can help me, thanks for all guys reading and thinking about.
Hello!
Probably it's not the perfect thread to post in, but i've got an Ace with signal problems. I'm on 3 UK network, and so far i know, there's only 2.2 branded firmware issued for this device. I have that in md5 format, which i can flash through odin, however that is a [email protected] Is there any way to flash the csc from that to any gingerbread version? as it is in .rfs format, and odin does not really like it. Is it affecting in any way my phone if i flash that to a gingerbread format, or ICS if i can? If so, could you tell me how to do it? Or how to solve my network signal issue? So far itried it with CM7, CM9, but it was still bad. I mean i did not have any signal, however in my I9100 there's almost full coverage in the same place, and i'm not using stock rom on that one. I just flashed the modem from the carrier branded firmware, but to flash on that device is much more easier, as there is many source for the modem file in the correct format.
So to make it clear, i need someone to help me to solve network issue (3 UK) in any way like flashing somehow the modem from old 2.2 (if that's possible), or if someone can point me a firmware with working "radio"/modem. Thanks in advance!

I've searched a while through the forum to find an answer to my question. Maybe someone can point me to the correct thread, if my question was already asked.
Last week i have flashed my S3 with Omega Rom 12 and the phone works very well. There are no problems at all but i'm curious about the CSC topic. The Rom has CSC EUR (CSC: BLF1 - set be default to EUR), also *#272*<your phone IMEI># says "EUR" (which stand for Greece, afaik). But i'm using my phone in Germany in the BASE/E-PLUS network, APN entries are correct, Internet, phone and sms does work. At starting the phone, all settings were right after selecting country and provider.
So, is it mandatory to use a CSC specific for Germany or is it save to stay at EUR?
~Eyghon
No its mandatory .......some time some custom rom is def CSC......
but if u found ur CSC install it.....

Moved to Q/A, the dev section is for development, not questions
NOT MANDATORY
CSC is not a requirement for the phone to work .
See the Guide on page one .

Not mandatory but if you do not use the right CSC you will loose:
-right fast dormancy setting for your carrier
-HD voice activation if your carrier support it
Not a big deal for some people but could be important for others...
not mandatory as long as you run into some sort of problem, i have used my phone without any csc for months.
Thanks for your feedback. I assumed, that it is not mandatory, but i wasn't quite sure. My rom has a tool named Fast Dormancy built in and it shows, that FD is enabled, but how the settings are i have to find out. But till now, I have this phone just a week and everything works fine. Mainly using Wifi and GSM/EDGE. Next week i have 3G only again, will see, what happens.
Every new phone produces a lot of new questions until it is completely explored.
So for an I9300, i can flash any damn stock rom as long as i get my model number correct? I'm from Singapore and i can flash a rom from Jamaica?
it's only mandatory if you want to receive and OTA or update through KIES, if your using ODIN and or CWM to flash roms then you never really have to worry about CSC's.
I9300 rom on any i9300
Modems interchangable .kernels interchangable .
The key word is International .
