Modem didnt work and emergency calls only
I am now on 4.0.4 how to update
No updates available on kies and update software
I screenshoted some pics pls help
Go read 'efs know this stuff' in general forum, sticky thread.
Try using patched kernel and modem, in 4.3, if your efs isn't compatible.
I flashed thr modem + kernel . The phone came slow and made modified and toggled counter to +2
I need to update by samsung
You can't, your efs isn't compatible with unpatched Samsung firmware.

Dear Forum,
I have rooted my Galaxy S II one year ago using Odin and a custom kernel from the forum here. Now I tried to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6 but it does not work. So I think the kernel could be the problem and wanted to flash an other one, but here comes the question.
My phone says that I have the I019XXKDJ baseband and I9100XWKDD-CL kernel version. In the Post of CF with the list of roms I could not find these versions ( endings? )
Could someone please tell me what to do?
Best regards

Looks like you have the I9100 model so after reading the first few posts from the link above, select a firmware to download and flash via Odin.
They are stock official firmware and once your in download mode and ready to flash with Odin I don't think the kernel will affect things.
Be prepared to wipe or factory reset just in case. CWM nandroid backup and titanium backup etc.
After that checkout chainfires cfroot kernels to root your phone.
That's what I would do anyway.

No if you flashed you lost Kies update path .

As said you need to read the post regarding kernel versions in CF root thread .

Hi everyone, my question is, can I update i9300 from 4.1.2 (XXELLA) to any 4.3 version or does it have to be for specific country?
I am curently running XXELLA that is for Poland, I was on XXEMC2 that is for Slovenia, and I am from Croatia, also to mention that original is XXEMC2 from my phone.
Also, is it safe for me to download 4.1.2 BTU XXEMG4 (UK) and flash over my current XXELLA, can i brick my efs? (I think it is an additional option to upgrade from btu version to 4.3).
Will i brick my EFS by updating to official stock 4.3 via Odin? I wan't to get to 4.3 version that supports OTA to 4.3 version MK6 (I heard it has many fixes), but I am scared to lose my network signal.
To sum up, what firmware do i need to get the MK6 update, is there any except BTU, and is it safe to update via Odin so my EFS won't brick.
Thanks.
You need to understand the basics before you do anything, sticky guides in general forum will guide you.
If you aren't confident then wait a week or two until MK6 is released in your country.

It's a good option to wait, it isn't even official for download to flash via Odin, I am just curious over what will or will not happen, so I'm just searching for some direct answers, when I read all those stickies and threads I got very confused.
Can i just ask, will anything happen with network signal or efs if i flash XXEMG4 4.1.2 BTU or MJ9 BTU over my XXELLA with Odin? Just to know..

I'm from Croatia too, and i have MJ9 BTU since day one and my phone is functioning perfectly, so no need to worry about network signal etc.
My recommendation is that you flash a MJ9 ROM with some custom kernel wich will remove the well known wake-up lag and battery drain that MJ9 has. Or you can just wait official OTA update for Croatia if you want. Personally, I moved away from official ROM 10 days after I got my S3. But as the boomboomer said before: read all the stickies to be 100% sure what are you doing
Hi, Before flashing anything or attempting to do anything make sure you read this and back up your EFS, If your already know about the risks then carry on but this is very helpfull. Thanks

Ok, I'll try to flash BTU MJ9 over current XXELLA and will see what happens, I already have backed up my efs and also nand backup, but i think i can lose my efs/no network because my IMEI was repaired with z3x box, I heard that if it is repaired with z3x i cannot upgrade nor downgrade anymore, will see what happens, if anything goes wrong i have z3x so no need to worry i think, i'll also try to flash mg4 modem or patch it with Ariza if i will lose my signal..
There is a thread with patched modems for those that previously used ariza patch, which should enable you to connect to your network.

I found only for 4.0 and 4.1.2 but not for 4.3 modems, and they are not patched, for patched i read that ariza patches modem but that it doesn't work with 4.3 android.
Can You please provide me the link to thread of patched modems?
Thanks!
Edit: I saw some patched modems for 4.3 but there is not MJ9 for i9300, also i tried extracting the modem.bin and patch it with zuluman patch and install through odin (put it under Phone section) but it fails, it says in the log something with bootloader, please provide me the patched M9 modem.
Edit2: Succesfully flashed patched MJ9, now IMEI is null/null, i'm getting really tired of this, going to take it to local servicer to update it for me, i think repairing imei with z3x box got it all messed up. And also finnaly i tried flashing the original modem back that gave me my IMEI back and than patch with ARIZA, nope, imei was 0049 etc.
after flashing 4.3 baeds rom and failed to start..i managed to flash new firmware 4.1.2 with odin..but after starting up..my phone doesnt have network(not registerd network) and my serial written like that 00004400****.. then trying to do a full wipe and re-flashed the firmware again..also no network...how can i fix that plz ????

I hope you have an efs backup. if not follow the steps in the linked thread.
btw which 4.1.2 did you flash. when you flash 4.3 rom efs will change to v2 so you need a rom with efs v2 baseband (everything newer than xeemg4)

yeah I know but which one (the build number) something like XXELLA or XXEMG4...? you can see it in settings menu
in fact if you have flashed a firmware older than XXEMG4 then also its baseband is flashed, and these old basebands are not compatible with efs v2 which has been flashed through your sammy 4.3 update.
This could PROBABLY have caused your imei problem and you would only have to flash a baseband newer than XXEMG4 to PROBABLY solve it. or your efs is corrupt than you should follow the steps in the stickies

go into settings - about phone - status and look for your imei. if it is 0049... or 000000... then read this: stickies for efs
also some more information would be helpful:
how did you get the 4.3 firmware (odin, OTA, or custom rom/recovery flashable zip) and how did you revert back to 4.1.2 (odin, custom rom/recovery flashable zip)
so either you corrupted your efs, what would only be fixable by restoring an efs backup or you have an efs v2 and now you flashed an efs v1 modem which are not compatible together, what would be fixable by flashing a modem later then xxemg4 (read the sticky thread to know about what i am talking)
edit: ok I hope the above solution works for you
I updated 4.3 from Kies and back to 4.2.1 from odin. got firmware file from sammobile.com. (I9300XXEMF6 )
I am not really IT person. but if i get step by step guide, I can do it by myself

well then probably the flashable efs v2 modems from the link of @tallman43 will help you.
by updating from 4.1.2 to 4.3 your efs was updated to v2 as well as your modem. Now you reverted back to 4.1.2 through odin, your efs stays on v2, but your modem has downgraded to a modem which is not compatible with efs v2.
so if you flash now again a modem which is compatible everything should be fine again. they can be flashed through a custom recovery.
but please read the efs stickies thread (and maybe also all the other stickies threads) and make an efs backup as there described.

flashing 4.0.4 stock ics rom is not recommended has it does not have sudden death fix.
Can I use a different modem if I want to flash a stock rom using odin?
I want to use xxemc2 stock rom for my s3 howrver because I already upgraded to 4.3 it changed the efs file and I did not make a back up of the original.
Xxemg4 which I have now does not have as good battery life as on xxemc2 and I blame it on the modem as my multipdp wakelocks indicate this.
However Xxemg4 was the last 4.1.2 version available I can doengrade to, am I able to use the stock 4.3 modem and use th xxemg4 for everything else?
Im unsure if you can mix and match stock roms modems without bricking the phone or tripping knox.
Is this allowed or doable on a non rooted s3?

You can mix and match modems but because you are on 4.3 which is efs v2 you cannot use any modem below mg4 as this will make your phone unable to make phone calls network etc.. Also S3 I9300 does not have knox.:good: and mg4 is efs v2 not v1 read this >> http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/general/ref-imei-efs-stuff-i9300-including-t2393289 <<

It's ok 4.1.2 xxemg4 uses efs v2
Would a 4.3 modem have compatibility issues or worse with a 4.1.2 stock rom even if I use the 4.1.2 with efs v2?
