[Q] Cant send text messages on rooted Galaxy s2.. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I have currently installed slimbean build 8 sabermod unoffical (4.2.2) by fusionjack. Everything is working very smoothly and nice, but I cant send text messages (only recive)....
I was therefore wondering if the baseband was the problem? The baseband is xxsw, but I Live in Norway (one of the nordic countries) and shouldn't I use a baseband with xw** like on neatrom lite?
And how do I find one of these basebands?
BTW I have used neatrom lite (xxms2) and I can send sms there..
Would be very pleased with any answers!

Try searching for XXMS2 modem online.If that doesn't works,Do a Factory reset or change ROM

Same here,
I have tried factory reset tried flashing latest modems and tried 4.2 and 4.3 ROMS. still messages are not getting sent . Can only receive it.
Please help

1) Maybe your SIM is faulty. Try to insert it in a different phone and send sms. If it doesn't send - the SIM is the cause.
2) Try to send sms on official CM compile. See if it works out. I recommend CM 10.1.3 stable.
3) You could have a modem-ril mismatch. Flash LS8 and using GetRIL from the play store install the correct ril for LS8.

Maniac9331,
Thanks for enlightening me about this. As it turned out I was unknowingly using a fake RIL for some time now....
You learn something new every day....
Anyway, lucky I had an old RIL backup that I've made after rooting for the first time.
I've flashed it and voila! I have my old RIL now. Thanks, Maniac9331!

Glad i could helpe you..
Cheers!!

Good that we know such an important information. Try again with a proper baseband ⇩⇩⇩
Try to add APN.

Flash the goddamned old baseband as said in my howto. Then go and reflash the ROM. It is clearly said that the patch does NOT work for data on the mik's thread, why are you flashing something with a known bug and complaining thereafter?!?

Because you need to reflash the darned ROM which you have screwed with the non-working patch. Read!
i even reflashed the ROM dude........bt same prob
plz gimme a link of ur kernel version
RoM n baseband
Well, flash a full stock ROM via KDZ and move on. When you have done some reading (which clearly hurts your brain), come back with some non-PEBKAC issues. While you have mismatch between your baseband and ROM, you have no GSM and data. It is written in the howto, but then again, too long and boring to read, huh?
Bye.
Hello ppl. I have flashed to new baseband w/ Cyanogenmod 9(lurpohip) and franco's newest kernel. I can call and send text messages, but data doesn't seem to work. Would appreciate help. I've gone through both how-to's pt. baseband LGMDP.exe. Also did a full data wipe before installing the rom.
I noticed some NVRESTORE NV_FAIL_S errors when I changed to new baseband in LGMDP.exe though.. Any ideas? Tried to change 3 times, same errors occur.
Thanks in advance. Sorry for being a noob, but I have been searching for 2 days.
Unfortunately, CM team has removed some frequency from sources and now, with some carrier (eg. Vodafone or 3 IT), data connection doesn't work. I have the same problem. The solutions are:
1. Not use a CM rom
2. Use old baseband with patch for CM.
3. Wait for a fix

[Q] [I9100G] No connection under CM10 ROM

Hi everyone,
I've installed the ROM CyanogenMod 10 with the latest nightlies. Two days ago the wifi connection was stopped suddenly. I also noticied several bugs and lags in the lastest nightlies so I decided to come back the nightly dated 09/21 but no changes...
Today I've done a backup from CWM and everythinh works fine except the wifi connection. The mobile is still trying to activate the wifi but nothing more...
So I'm looking for a new modem to be able to establish the wifi connection with my Internet box.
I've found the following modems on XDA but I don't know if there are compatibles with my configuration or if better modems exist...
Thank you in advance.

Modem has nothing to do with ur Wifi issue ma8, since its more realated to ur Netwrk and Data connection one's.
for ur wifi issue try changing ur kernel and see
ps- ensure that the kernel is meant for I9100G not for I9100 since they are not compatible with each other
Thanks for your answer! Appreciated.
Please could you help me to find the better kernel for my I9100G?
FYI I now have the nightly dated 09/26.

If I install the stock ROM ICS 4.0.4 and then CM9 through CWM, it will be OK?

Thanks for your quick answers.
Yes I won't forget wipe data/cache I will flash CM9 thanks to recovery mode (CWM).
However I'd like to come back to CM9 because I have a matter of my WIFI connection and a "VIP member" of a french forum told me that for having a CLEAN phone, I should respect all these steps:
- Install the "full rom" KI3 (I don't if it's the right translation...). This ROM will completely reset my phone.
- Then install the rom KK5 to add new functions
- Flash CF-root LPG to obtain the admin authorizations and ICS 100% clean
- And finally I will able to flash CM9...
Is it really necessary to respect these steps???
Your 2 points of view are so different..
Thanks again!

My problem is still here... I now have ICS 4.0.4, version I9100GXXLPV and IMM76D.XXLPY, kernel 3.0.8 [email protected]#2.
I did a factory reset and cache partition. Why do I still have some personal pictures in the memory?
Should I use this code : *2767*2878# = E2P Custom Reset. It could solve my problem of wifi...
Otherwise what could I do now?

[Q] Network Problem with Paranoid Android 2.5. Please help..

Hi all,
I installed PA v2.5. Everything worked well except my phone network signal. It is not detecting any signal. Did every thing i could do. wiped system/factory reset, wiped cache partition and dalvik cache. Fixed permissions. Formatted system. tried installing rom a number of times. Changed kernels from stock kernel to siyah 4.1.3 and 5.0. But none of the method worked. Please suggest the way i can get my phone signals as without network signal, it doesn't remain a phone.
Have you tried flashing another modem? You can download a modem here.
Why don't you try to install an other kernel? Different from siyah and stock... As kernels define how hardware work...

You installed siyah 4.1.3 with PA 2.5? They're not compatible and the phone shouldn't even have booted.
Anyways, if you're not able to get a signal, your modem has probably changed. You can check if the modem currently on your phone (settings>about phone) is the same as the one you originally had. ( I assume you've noted down your original modem details somewhere. And flash that modem from the link mentioned above. It should work

Now i have switched to stock ics 4.0.3. but i want this rom. i flashed resurrection remix and found same problem. but flashing stock modem fixed it. But its not working with pa.
Use siyah 5.0 or dorimanx 7.4 (or higher if there's a later release.) I think the siyah dev gokhanmoral has blocked siyah 5.0 downloads for some reason, so use dorimanx 7.x for now.
Flash the PA ROM, it'll automatically install the default kernel its using. You can install dorimanx after that. And then if necessary, the modem that works for you. Also you can use the getRIL app to match your radio and baseband. May help.

Hi, i love PA too but we have the same issue. Not exactly the same though. I get signal when i boot my phone, i get an H signal (the highest i could get before the issue) but after flashing PA, it drops to E only after about 2minutes. Pls pls reply back if you found a solution. I have tried different modems and kernels already, verified that Siyah 5 is not compatible, tried DorimanX, same thing. Tried 2 different version of PA, no luck. Not to mention that i also tried another sim.
GetRil did it..
Hurraaayyy....
getRil app solved the problem.:laugh: It gave me the option of flashing modems which were matching my phones modem hardware. Thanks to all guys who helped me. Thanks a lot. Anyone having the same problem as of mine or any network related problem please give a try to getRIL app. May be it could work for you too.

hey everyone im using swedish three (3) carrier with an unlocked phone!
it is a samsung galaxy s2 currently running infecteds linaro sabermod build rootbox V.4.2
i switched because i thought it would help , the problem i am having is that sending text messages sometimes doesn't get sent away to the one i want to send it to. so sometimes i have to send 2 text messages for 1 message to be sent. i had this problem in official cm10.1 also and P.A.C and not in rootbox V4.2.
does it have something to do with my phone that it has become defective or is it something with my simcard ?
another problem i also have is that mobile data (3G internet) very often gets dropped. and doesn't work for a while so no apps are syncing. what should i do.. i am thinking of buying a samsung galaxy nexus from ebay ,because noe store in sweden has it anymore. because i want a fully open source phone..

It could be that the problems are related - your lack of signal is causing messages to be unreliable. Have you tried flashing a few modems to see if you can improve your signal? Modem only, not modem+ril as you're on 4.2.2

Ok,so what modem is part of the stock ROM which is released by your carrier in your region. First port of call is to flash that.
No luck? Flash full stock ROM + kernel (root on the fly using Mobile Odin Pro if you choose) and see if you get the same issue.

[Q] Custom Roms always give me "Emergency Calls Only"

Hi and Merry Christmas everyone.
I have a little problem I am hoping that you might be able to help with.
Little history - this phone was stock until today because Samsung update killed the phone (everything was FC, and reflash, format etc, didn't fix it! Damn you Samsung for ****ty build!!)
Anyway - this is the fifth phone I have Rooted and Flashed to custom ROM - so I kinda know what I am doing, but this one has stumped me a little (wasn't doing this one because I used for Work, and it was under Warranty - out of warranty now anyway, so.... just forced my hand to root/upload custom ROM it)
Every Time I do a new ROM install I wipe the Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache, Backup EFS folder, and Format System (this is the way I did it with all my phones, and the way I was taught to get really stable working ROM).
I am in New Zealand with an GT-I9300 (nice Red Brand) - brought from DickSmith, Unlocked.
The problem I have is that when I install a custom ROM from here (so far I have tried three), I keep getting the "Emergency Calls Only" issue and the Phone won't manually connect to my phone carrier (New Zealand - 2Degrees).
What I have done to look over the issue so far is:
1) Installed Recovery cwmtouch-6.0.3.2
2) Installed CM10 Final cm-10.2.0-i9300 - tested to make sure phone was working okay based on CM10, worked fine - can make calls, and stock CM10 working perfect. The Baseband Driver is 1930BUUGMJ3, and the IMEI is 3539********** (so everything okay there)
Build number: cm_i9300-userdebug 4.3.1 JLS36I dfd0cbed2d test-keys
*#1234#
Doesn't work on CM10.... Dialer Codes don't work on CM10 - blah!
3) Installed S4 Revolution v11 ROM. Since this was already using 1930BUUGMJ3, I didn't flash the MG4 that's included in the ROM installer. Everything working as expected, however I am always getting Emergency Calls Only. Confirmed Baseband Driver is 1930BUUGMJ3 and the IMEI is 3539********** (so I would think everything okay... but no - will not connect to my New Zealand Carrier).

4) Re-flashed this ROM, and this time replaced the modem driver with the MG4. Again all working fine, but still no Carrier connection.
5) I installed the ROM Android_Revolution_HD-SGS3_40.0 - it replaced the Baseband Driver with the 1930BUUGMJ3 again, and the IMEI is 3539********** (again no change), and once again this didn't work.

6) Rebuild back to CM10 - everything working again.
The one thing I am noticing (not sure if this is the problem - but just adding the differences I see) when I use the IMEI check (*#06#) with this ROM (and Revolution) I notice that the IMEI SV is showing (/11) at the end of it - So it is 3539*********** / 11. However, with CM10, it isn't so is only 3539***********
(however, when I look at Status - it has the IMEI showing without the IMEI SV, and the IMEI SV shows in the IMEI SV row).
So this probably isn't the issue either.
Serial Number is the Same also - so that hasn't changed.
The Device Status is Custom for CM10 and this ROM - so nothing changed there either.
So I am a bit stuck now, I don't know where else to go - because I was going to manually update the Modem, but, I don't think that is the problem since the Driver seems to work okay with CM10. And more importantly, I am a little worried about just flashing random stuff on the phone without having some clear understanding on what I am flashing. So don't want to just flash for the hell of flashing - so if someone has some guidance that would be helpful.
Can anyone else give me some ideas on this?
Might try ariza or modems patched zuluman http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1918601

Hi
Thanks fr the suggestion however I am not really sure if this is the right thing to be using based on what I have stated - for example, the version of ROMS I have already tried flashing.
I read over in [REF] IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff (i9300) - including "no network" about this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393289) which stated the following
How does "Ariza patch" fit in to this?
Ariza patch does not fix IMEI issues. It fixes "00000" Serial number issues, which has similar symptoms. This patch does not work on EFS v2 ROMs. If you use it, you may irreparably break your phone.
Also it would seem, Phones that had this patch ON EFS v1 ROMS will break their IMEI if they upgrade to EFS v2 ROMS.
As yet, there is nothing proved to resolve this issue fully. Search the Ariza thread for posts by zuluman for potential fixes. This Page is hopefully the most useful or one of the patched modems posted
It would probably be best to get the serial number professionally restored either under warranty or by sla mobile repair shop. The Ariza patch was always only fixing something that should have been fixed under warranty anyway.... now we are seeing this issue - cut your losses

My Serial number hasn't gone to 0000. It is different to the serial number that CM10 uses... but it isn't 0000.
My understanding is that CM10, and the ROMS I have tried are EFS V2 ROMS (since they use the new Modem Driver). Therefore this could possible make things worse?
serious a problem If you conducted a downgrade. the CM rom not change the modem, maybe that's why after I install a CM even you have signal. maybe your problem is you do not sign up with any modem or modem change causes something weird that makes you lose the signal.

JellyYogurt: Sorry I am confused then, because people were stating in many threads that some people have possible screwed up their EFS - and my understanding is that the new Modem is what upgrades the EFS not the ROM. (also not sure why there was !!!! not sure it was required, since I am asking for help in the HELP and TROUBLESHOOTING section of this forum)
I might be wrong, but this is kinda what I am reading on the threads in the ROMs about people who are having No Network issues also.
I have tried to use that plugin however it doesn't work (always downloading) so I am going to look for the patch they are talking about and try to run that.
mojonx0droid: I haven't done a downgrade - I have used CM10, and that has worked fine. Then I tried the two roms I have suggested, and both have had the same issue where it won't find the network anymore. I can revert back to CM10 and it works fine again.
Also not sure what you mean by Signing up to any modem changes? As stated, my Modem appears to have updated already, and I have also tried using the Modem's that are included in the ROMs supplied.
CM10 is working fine, it is only the ROMs I have tried on here which are having the issues.

Hey mate,
Are your really certain with that? I have a similar problem, messed up my EFS partition and lost my EFSv1 Backup files, but at least I could successfully restore the EFSv2 files. Unfortunately I did not Backup my i9300's original EFS state.
Now I cannot unlock the SIM card anymore when running AOSP-based roms und when booting with no SIM card inside there's a strange serial number.
A few days ago I was starting to think if AOSP-based roms aren't compatible with EFSv2 (yet?). It would be good to know if this actually is the problem.
You don't know a way to convert EFSv2 files back to EFSv1, do you?

As i said. All aosp are using efs v1. Efs v1 are only compatible with efs v1. Sammy 4.3 roms onwards are efs v2 and is compatible with BOTH v1 and v2. I dun think u can actually convert it though.

In fact I think you have just hit my problem....
As stated the whole reason I have gone custom ROM is due to the fact that Samsung update failed to update on my phone (flashed okay, but all applications afterwards were giving FC, including TouchWiz, etc, etc. Did factory resets, the works, but nothing worked.)
However, after that CM10 worked fine, but everything here hasn't worked so far.
Could it be ... maybe. that the original Samsung update upgraded the EFS to V2.
Is there a way for me to tell if EFS is on V2 or V1?
If it is V2 - then I know the problem, and then I will just have to use Custom Roms which support V2 (which my understanding is CM10 and CM11 - but I might be wrong).

There's an app called GalaxSim Unlock. Download it from the play store and start it (needs root).
If it tells you your phone is updated to a new system not supported yet it should be EFSv2.
Search XDA for EFS repair... You should find a giant topic that might help you. Unfortunately it didn't work for me anymore...
And by the way, CM is an AOSP-based rom so it will only work with EFSv1. If you have lost your EFSv1 you can run Samsung original roms, Samsung leaked roms and Samsung-based custom roms...

Thanks you J_Dee
This is it - the Samsung Update Over The Air upgraded the EFS to V2, this is why I am having issues with the AOSP on here which are not upgraded to V2 EFS.
And if CM is an AOSP based Rom how come CM10 works fine? (In fact I have just reflashed back to CM10 and it is working fine - and confirmed that GalaxSim is giving the same Device updated Error)
So it appears CM10 is using EFS V2???

I included these in my first post - but right now my Baseband Version is
I9300BUUGMJ3
It had changed a couple of times based on the ROM installed at the time.... and if I picked the MG4 modem.

And that is now confusing me from some of the stuff I have read. Is CM10 doing something that other people are not doing in their ROMs?
Is there other CM10 roms I can test that you suggest?

Okay - then I am even more confused - why does CM10 work fine - however so far none of the other ones I have used work?
I would continue to use CM10 - however all the Samsung Software has now disappeared... S-NOTE for example - ones I was using.
I am thinking of giving SentinelROM v6.00 a try - since it was based off the CM11 Code, however, that still doesn't give the Samsung software again. Also looking for EFS repair stuff to see if I can work anything out there.
