After flashing to the last CM 10.1 got this "SIM UNLOCK PIN" plus no mobile network.
I read that this could be fix flashing its RADIO for a new one. Now...
I was reading some posts for good radios and I saw that NELP3 is a good one, but I dunno that it can be used with my i-777 model. If there is actually a better radio, plz feel free to recommend it I will be willing to use it with CM 9.1 (stable).
If you guys can help me out with this issue I'll appreciate it.
Attach:
All this happened after flashing to the 10.1 nightly of CM
You could check in the development forum...there is a while thread dedicated to radios at the top..hope this helps

Nice, I saw that post but they seemed without any difference that I can perceive from just watching their different names... :S
UCKH7
UCKJ4
UCKJ1
...
ETC
Which one is the best to use?
They are pulled from official releases, and leaks of I777 firmware. From oldest to newest, the official releases are
UCKH7
UCKK6
UCLE5
UCLL6
UCMD8
Different phones and different geographic areas respond differently, so you just have to experiment by flashing them in succession, and trying out for a few days. You might start with UCMD8 as it is the latest, and many have reported very good results with it.

I gave it a try and I flashed after rebooting some pop up like "ANDROID upgrading applications" 0 - 84 till 84 - 84
After all that same UNLOCK SIM PIN appear, I'll keep trying them as u said from the lastest to the none lastest
Well dunno if its good or bad but I tried every single one of the MODEMS on that post and no one seems to be working on my phone, what else should I try now? dunno if its relevant but I was using it with the CM 9.1 (stable)

Is it asking for you to enter the pin?. If so you can log into your att account and get the pin for your phone from there. I was nosing around on mine yesterday and saw that option. But it did say if your sim is locked (10 failed tries) you will have to purchase a new sim card from them.

I entered security optioin but its not tilt the option to lock the phone, etc, etc.
Give it the try to this MODEMS and nothing happen. damn CM! dot

I am new to android so I'm trying to learn, and in the process jacked up my phone.
So I did something not so smart and updated my AT&T Galaxy S2 via these instructions:
androidauthority samsung-galaxy-s2-ice-cream-sandwich
(sorry it won't let me post the URL)
It actually worked, however, my back button doesn't work, and my search button doesn't work, I can make a call but can't hear anything and they can't hear me and vice versa.
I realized there are some samsung glaxy's out there that just have the home button, I figured I must have loaded one of those roms so I tried to load the "stock" rom to go back to where I was.
I can load the stock rom but when the phone boots up to the green android symbol startup wizard the phone just sends a cascade of errors one after another and you can't proceed any furhter.
So I went back to the orignial ICS from the post above, and the phone comes back up, only same problems but at least I can load it up and surf/get e-mail/text.
So I start playing around with mixing parts, and I find out that basebad is the "radio", and I can change that to different versions without changing the OS version, so I figure I must have some kind of mis match going on.
I used Odin and there is PIT, BOOTLOADER (I didn't touch bootloader) PDA PHONE and CSC.
Is it safe to assume if everything works but voice calls, that I need to find the right "phone" version? what about the back button and search buttons?
I have the "stock" PDA version, but I'm guessing that doesn't work because I need the matching PIT, and CSC? Where do/can I find those?
My phone shows network state connected, shows IMEI number and can surf the web but no voice, all other audio works.
Please help a newbie out, and help me understand what PIT, PDA/PHONE/CSC is all about so I can get my phone working again.
And just to be clear, I don't care if I'm back to 2.3.4 or whatever, I just want to get this thing working again.
There isn't a ICS ROM for our version of sgs2- i777. Only the i9100 international version. That's why your search and back button don't work. Also without kernel source we prob won't have a working ICS ROM. that's also why the in call audio doesn't work..

There is no working ICS for our device yet that ICS is for the GT-I9100, as far as restoring back to stock. There is ODIN One click which will return you back to stock? Can't find the best threads but this might help.

No, they limit total storage to 2GB for free accounts - I already have a few hundred megs for personal use, and 2-3 ROMs would blow through my remaining storage instantly.
I think it's possible to recover from a bogus PIT flash (and someone did manage to do it after an ICS screwup), but I'm not sure how - I've never done it myself.

How about minus.com. 10gb free storage and clean interface.
Ok I'm back up and running, I managed to find a download for stock firmware that wasn't hosted on mega upload, only took a few hours to download it
Odin could still see it so I loaded up the new firmware and it works, I don't fully understand it because no matter what firmware I tried the startup screen wouldn't change, the OS would clearly change, and I could change things like the baseband and see that change but that start screen wouldn't ever change.
After my phone "blew up" and wouldnt' even go into download mode I hit it again with stock firmware and the startup screen changed this time and it worked.
What is funny is I tried the same firmware more than once with no positive effects, it wasn't until I managed to piss the phone to the point download mode woudln't even come up that the firmware fixed my problem.
Why is that, was that part of the firmware locked or something?
What do the different parts control?
I think I figured out:
PDA must be the actual OS version with apps/kernal/bloatware
Phone is the modem version
what does PIT and CSC modify?

Unfortunately, that's old news. That video is of the old version of Galnets MIUI that is based off of the 4.0.1 framework and not true ICS. We have a much better 4.0.1 framework based version of the official MIUI ROM in the dev forums, and I use it on a daily basis on my I777. Shep is currently working on getting the MIUI 4.0.3 ICS ROM built for our phones, and it looks promising.

Samsung didn't bother to change the yellow triangle warning bootscreen for the AT&T model. If you root your phone, it will show gt-i9100. It is the SGH-I777 though.

No, the Galnet stuff was a framework hack, not true ICS by any means (not even remotely). We should end this tangent ASAP, as Galnet discussion is not permitted here (For a wide variety of reasons, their releases broke about half of XDA's rules).

Yup. If you have the yellow warning triangle, you'll see I9100 on the I777.
If you don't have the triangle, you just see "Galaxy S II" with no model number - but we ARE SGH-I777. International is GT-I9100.
Well, I'm having a little problem. I installed JB in my galaxy, and I noticed I lost the unlock, after that, I restored EFS and unlocked again. Now, after unlocking (but not restarting) I had no problems, but as soon as I restart the phone, the unlock is gone. I am using AOKP JB from task650 with its default kernel
Thanks!

hmmm. interesting.
GS2 unlock is just a file edit IIRC. So the file is able to be edited, and sticks.. but after a restart it reverts back.
I've heard of a reasoning for this, not this exact problem, but stuff not sticking after reboot. Cant put my finger on it...

Well, I checked out the thread, I can unlock it when I'm on ICS, but when I flash to JB I loose the unlock. However, he unlocked on GB and then upgraded to ICS, I could try that out later but I dont't think it'll make any difference..
Thanks!
Have you checked the aokp jb thread to see if anyone is having a similar problem?
Also, did you try just calling AT&T for the unlock code? in my previous job i used to travel frequently. Every time i got a new phone i called at&t, explained that i travel abroad very often and needed to unlock my phone to use local carriers in the places i travelled to. The gave me the code every time with no problems. I would assume the unlock code they give you would work regardless of what rom you have installed?
I've flashed 99% of available roms and kernels and have never lost my unlock.

Last night I decided to update my firmware and went for Omega 17, it's Android 4.1.2 and comes with modem XXLS6. My phone can't register on the network since! When starting it asks for the PIN and upon providing it, it asks for a SIM unlock code that I don't have. I have tried Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock from Play store but it can't find the unlock code.
The problem is that I can't remember my last modem that worked; could someone please point me towards a good working modem for I9100 on Romania's Cosmote network using Android 4.1.2?
it doesnt seem like its modem related, what you're talking about makes it sound like you have carrier locked your phone.
Did you buy it from Romania Cosmote and using it on the same network or are you on another provider?

I bought the phone 2 years ago without contract, it was unlocked until last night! It has worked with various operators, now it only works with Orange! I'm guessing the XXLS6 packed with Omega 17 is locked with Orange. Is there any way around this?
If not, I'd rather switch back to M1UI but I also need to flash a new modem for that too since LS6 won't cut it there either.
Maybe you're right and this isn't modem related but something makes my phone work only on Orange. What might that be and how to make it work with different operators?
Have you flashed other ends or mainly been using MIUI? Did you buy it like that?
You should try loading your backup of MIUI to see if it is locked to Orange. If not try Omega again or maybe even another lsj rom...best bet is to narrow down the issue.
When I used miui I used ki4 modem

Well i´ve got a GT-9100, aka, international SGS2. Well after flashing one of the latest nightlies of CM10.1, when I inserted my PIN code, it told me to enter my network unlock code, but my phone has been Carrier unlocked since a year ago, and unlocked by imei code. So I thought.. WTF? I started to look on the internets and i oung a post on the cyanogen forums I thing it was, were there were a lot of people complaining because their SGS2´s had been Carrier LOCKED by those nightlies. I recovered my carrier unlock by flashing a /EFS backup I had from a lot of time ago, but I cant use 4.2.2 or the latest 4.2.1 because it keeps king of reseting my EFS!! And even if I flash the good copy of my EFS, if im still on 4.2.2, it resets it on every reboot!!. I dont know if this is a problem with all the 4.2.2 roms, since Ive also tried AOKP JB MR1 Build 5 and 4, and still the same problem. So it might be a problem with the AOSP itself.
Anyone know a way to use 4.2.2 and not have this carrier lock problem??
Any ideas at all??
I can still use older versions such as older 4.2.1´s and my carrier is fine again. WTF

Ive already got a EFS backup, whats happening is that with 4.2.2 versions, the unlocked SGS2´s are being carrier locked again. And even if you restore your good EFS on 4.2.2, after every reboot, it resets itself saying its carrier locked again.
I know you already have a back up, I suggested you do a couple of additional back ups with 3rd party apps.

Awesome chaval.
GalaxySim Unlock is free here, at xda.
With the update to 4.1.2, it seems that the Australian version has the bottom icons locked. You can't change them. I've researched this and its only in Australia.... I was pretty pissed off with this, but I thought I could get used to it. Well, I can't.
So being the noob that I am, I thought simply rooting the device would allow me to solve this issue, but it doesn't seem to be that simple.
What I want to do with this phone is to unlock the bottom icons, and get rid of all carrier related stuff (boot animations, apps, etc.). Ideally I want to run pure android 4.1.2, as I'm not a fan of touchwiz, but I tried looking and I couldn't find anything, which is probably down to me being a noob. I wouldn't have a clue how to install it properly either.
So it's a Galaxy S2 I900T
The phone is on Telstra
It has been rooted
It's running stock 4.1.2
If there is anymore info you need to know in order to help me, just let me know and I'll add it.
Thanks in advance!
Well...... You could just run a custom launcher. Search for Nova launcher on the play store. It's the one I use, it's customisable to just about whatever you want.
If you're rooted and do actually want to run stock android instead of just changing the launcher, then look for the index of ROMs in the s2 section. I think GaboWinter is the OP. Look under the AOSP section in there for the stock android ones.
Quick tip, if you do flash a rom you'll have to flash an i9100"t" specific modem or your coverage will be dismal.
Ps. Is it really just the Australian version that can't change the dock icons. How rubbish.

if you want pure android, you'll probably be unable to find 4.1 since it's obsolete in aosp and I'd advise you to go with either 4.2 or even 4.3, as 4.2 especially is highly stable.
also, the guy above me is mistaken about modems, the stock i9100 modems work fine on the t variant, just depends on your carrier which ones you want to use.
to install a rom just flash a recovery image from odin (e.g. Dorimanx or PhilZ) and then copy the necessary zips to your sd, boot to recovery, and flash them
remember to back up your data first though

also, the guy above me is mistaken about modems, the stock i9100 modems work fine on the t variant, just depends on your carrier which ones you want to use.
to install a rom just flash a recovery image from odin (e.g. Dorimanx or PhilZ) and then copy the necessary zips to your sd, boot to recovery, and flash them
remember to back up your data first though

Just to clarify.... "the guy above you" owns an i9100 and maintains a friend's i9100T. If you mean the international i9100 modem is able to be flashed on an i9100T, I agree. I've done it. I know you also own "T" variant.
What happens in my case is that the data speeds are so dismal you'd be better off using an encyclopaedia than googling something (literally 2Kb/s in some areas. Flashing a "T" specific modem sees the speed jump to 250-300Kb/s or so in the same spot). I'm guessing by your post you have better success than that with i9100 modems on a "t" variant.

oh, my apologies, hadn't seen anyone with that poor a result
I do indeed get much better results with xxms2 for example

No probs mate Odd that you say that, I use XXMS2 /MS3 myself, so naturally tried them on my friend's T variant immediately after rooting. Both modems were dismal and got the 2Kb/s (sometimes hitting 20ishKb/s :0) I mentioned. Now I've got them on DULP4 & no issues at all

oh okay, that's odd
I'm testing dvls3 right now, the Vodafone jb modem, which is a t modem, but normally I run xxms2 or nelp3

Yeah I've flashed dvls3 for them, it wasn't that good. Which is even weirder as they're on vodafone. Eh oh well, not my phone so I can't be constantly testing.
