[Q] Can I flash another modem? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I just flashed latest 4.1.2 in my I9300 and after that When i flashed 4.2.2 XUFME7 I have the error "Emergency calls only", I think it`s probably from my baseband, probabily it modified my efs (being a new baseband, new format), so when I go to 4.2.2 which probably has a old baseband I get that error, my question is "Can I flash the latest baseband in 4.2.2?", If yes, how can I do that, is anyone have the latest baseband, can someone help me?
Can I flash the latest 4.1.2 baseband in 4.2.2? Where can I find this baseband?

Yes, you can find the XXEMG4 modem in general section
And efs and ROM itself are separated 2 parts, doesn't effect on each other except RIL but it's not big deal.
Main goal is related with EFS, if you have old EFS backup (before XXEMG4 ) then you can use any older modem as long as you want, of course you have to restore the old efs backup to make it compatible.
And if sadly you don't have old efs backup, you can still stick with XXEMG4 or higher modem, just flash modem after you flash ROM then you will be fine

Ok, but where exactly can I find xxemg4 modem flashable in odin? Cuz I don`t have a backup to my efs folder.

No efs bkup and you started flashing roms..o dear. Flash mg4 zip through recovery not odin. You need to read alot more before you break you phone

Ok, but is there any way of doing that without rooting my phone? And if i flash philz recovery is this means I will change my kernel also?

As above but why not just root it. You've just flashed a leaked firmware so why not root

No,kernel and recovery are separate. I have siyah kernel and philz recovery. Edit..just to add there is no custom kernel for 4.2.2 leak.

So, if I flash philz recovery with odin it will root my phone also? I don't mind rooting it, but I mind changing my kernel. Also, can I flash philz recovery when useing 4.2.2 stock rom? And believe me I used 4.2.2 XUFME7 stock rom.

try this go ahead and use odin but flash the leak again. yes reflash it but replace the baseband with any mg4 or mg2 that you like. sometimes flashing just the baseband wont work but flashing it as part if a rom will . the best thing imo is to just flash a stock rom from sammobile that uses an mg4 or mg2 baseband

No if you flash philz it wont root it but there is a zip to flash in philz thread. And no it wont change the kernel and yes you can use philz with 4.2.2

Hello, you're out of topic, I know what I have to do, but I don't find anyware a xxemg4 modem flashable in odin, I want that so I can update my phone back to 4.2.2 XUFME7. Now my questions are those from the above.

So that means I don't have to root to solve my problem, right? I just have to flash philz?

Correct. Cwm is the key. Then you can flash the zip.

Custom rom installation issue

Hi all,
I have a galaxy s2 GT-I9100 on baseband I9100XXLQ6 custom kernal Jeboo 3.0.31 v1.1c on Android 4.1.2 Lion rom JB I9100V1.3 problem is I want to load up Jelly bam but keep getting installation aborted in CWM recovery I wipe cache data and delvick, I've tried other roms like avatar and it also fails, do I need to do something else? do I have to update my firmware to XXLPQ?
Sorry if it's in the wrong section.

You have to change your kernel:

And I hope u meant jelly bam

You dont seem to know the basics pal.The stock rom he linked contains kernel/modem/rom so have a guess what happens when you flash them to your phone.

TBH we all have to find out the info at some point and this is my time to find out.
True, but you have to know the basics before flashing or else youll be the one with the non working phone.
Eg.If you had read a little bit about nand backups, you could have your phone back to how it was in 5 mins, before you messed with other roms.
So once you have your rooted phone to your liking you make a backup.Then if you try another rom and dont like it, boot into cwm and restore your backup in 5 mins.

It could be that the zip download is corrupted. Try re-downloading and flash again.
If not, flash Siyah v4 kernel via recovery or odin then try flashing desired rom again.

What aborted? Flashing the newly downloaded rom or flashing Siyah via ODIN and then trying to flash rom again?
If you cant flash rom after you have Siyah kernel installed then as mentioned above you will need to try and restock via ODIN.

[Q] Upcoming official 4.2.1 update

Official JB update for SGII wil be 03.03.2013, and I wanted to ask a question.I have a rooted phone with Siyah v5.0.1 kernel, with orginal ROM. Can I update my phone to official 4.1.2 with a rooted phone with Siyah kernel ? Or I must unroot my phone and get my stock kernel.
I now it may sound like a noob question but I'm new here so better I ask someone.
Thanks.
the easiest way is to simply flash the Rom with odin,
worst case scenario is that you have to wipe data/Factory reset after flashing,
so make a nandroid and a backup with titanium backup or something similar.
just so you have a cliff to lean back on.
unless you flash with mobile odin you will lose root though,
but then youll only have to flash a new rooted kernel and you should be good to go!

Thanks for the guide, So only to be sure.
I donwload the official ROM, then I flash it with odin and then if I want to root my phone again I must flash a rooted rom.
And the official update contains the stock kernel ? Because I got alredy a backup done with CWM and when I flash the official ROM and it will replace Syiah kernel with CWM and if somenting goes wrong then I can't restore it .

Well, I erased the wrong nandroid and wiped out my stock ROM. So I can't revert to stock and unroot ready for the official ota without using Odin (which I have NO intentions of doing lol) but then, I'm currently running 4.2.2 anyway...so I'm not sure I would....even if I could.....

I would not unroot the phone. Just use Odin for flashing the new firmware and after that you can root it again. For me it's much saver than using buggy Kies...

I've got a nandroid backup from my stock ROM in PC and on USB so if somenting goes wrong I just copy it to phone.
But my question is when I flash the official rom 4.1.2 it will unroot my phone and CWM recovery mode will be deleted because of new kernel, and if there somenting goes wrong how should I backup it when there will be no CWM recovery mode .

since the rom you flashed is based on MG5 latest release, it changes efs partition into a new format.
1st simple step: check your apn settings.
is your imei okay?
if yes, then flash stock MG5 via odin and then root it and flash the same rom via mobile odin.

If you have ever flashed XXEMG* (or newer) ROM, to keep your IMEI working, you must:
Stay with the EFS v2 basebands (MG* or newer). You may flash other ROMs but must return to the MG* (or newer) baseband
Restore your EFS backup (taken before XXEMG* or newer ROM install) to use older (EFS v1) basebands. EFS backup must be an EFSv1 backup to use an EFS v1 baseband
If the above don't work, consider sending for repair

Galaxy S2 (i9100) upgrade from stock 4.0.4 to CM11

Hi all, my second ish post on xda (yes im a moderate android noob), i am after some advice and help on flashing CM11 to my S2 (Intl), as it feels really outdated (because it is) and also quite slow (because it is). Ive read about the brickbug and i ran Chainfire's GotBrickbug tool and it said "unknown chip, not sure if dangerous, at least it isnt known to be bad. The chip is V3U00M and the revision is 0xE. I also ran another checker and it said sane chip. Im running the stock 4.0.4 (rooted with Framaroot and removed carrier rubbish) and apparently 4.0.4 is prone to bricking. Ive read about flashing new kernels (Siyah etc) and other methods. I know there is the 4.1.2 update, does that remove the chances of brickbug so i can then flash CM11 via CWM? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Official 4.1.2 firmware is safe, only 4.0.4 has brickbug.
So do i just upgrade to 4.1.2 then use odin to flash CWM 6.0.4.5 and then follow normal procedure? Thanks for replying btw

Download XWMS3 4.1.2 from sammobile site(you have to log in). Then use Odin to flash it. Download PhilZ xwms3 kernel and put kernel zip on sdcard. Reboot in stock Samsung recovery and flash that kernel zip file. Then reboot again in recovery and flash philz 6.0.5.0 touch recovery.
Or... You can root 4.1.2 with siyah kernel, but you need to flash kitkat compatible recovery

Yes, you can use OTA to update your android. Then you need to root your phone and install CWM compatible recovery to flash CM11
