The Gsm/WCDMA data is really buggy on my phone.I switched 2-3 roms but it didn't solve the problem.
So i assume it is a hardware problem & thinking of taking it to the SE service centre.But my phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked using s1 tool.
So should i unroot it and relock the bootloader before giving it for servicing as i still have the warranty..
If yes.. Then how to unroot?
do a repair software with pc companion(that way you will remove root), and get clean stock rom.
after that check if you still have problems with signal, with clean rom.
if you still have problems, take it to servce center but before, relock it with s1tool, use restore button.
anw, what problems do you have?

Don't have any links with deep explanation.
Firmware and ROM are pretty much same things. Actually some people use firmware as name for stock ROM, meaning default OS which came from Sony Ericsson. While ROM is occasionally used as custom ROM, meaning someone changed few things.
Baseband, well to put it simple, the way people use it here(it's not same but not to far from original definition of baseband, as it's connected to signal), it's part of firmware which is responsible for your signal.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The data was not at all working... When i reboot the phone sometimes it works but most of the times it doesn't.... It was like a 1 in 100 chance of working...But after flashing .42 it seems to have solved the problem.
And does baseband have anything to do with the data as u have said it is responsible for the signal?
Well it could have something with signal. But I doubt that it would manifest like in your case. At least I hear it first time.
Actually, now when I read this thread again , you only said you had problems on custom ROM's? And since you are now ok on clean .42fw, which means your phone is ok. Problems are in those custom ROM's.
Now custom ROM's flash only system partition, at least the one I seen.
I'm not sure where is baseband is flashed, but I don't think custom ROM's touch it. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)
What custom ROM's have you tried?

Actually i have again flashed NeoV_emann's rom and everything is well..
I had tried Se Tweaked,Aniking,NeoV_emman and the data suddenly stopped working..But i think i was on the .42 firmware and the last time i checked it was .62 firmware... So i assume that only the firmware had changed but not the baseband which could have causing the data problems
I tried JB recently but since then I have had almost none existent Wifi. It tries to connect but then says Authentication failed.
I appreciate there is a known issue with JB roms not having an updated Bootloader or something of that nature, and I have also read that it is possible to fix the issue by using Odin to revert back to stock.
These are the steps I have taken:
1. Flash Stock Rom using Odin.
2. Reflash Stock Rom using Odin but also updating bootloader.
I have heard that the above steps do indeed fix the issue, but unfortunately I have found no evidence to suggest that.
As there are many people using JB now (well at least there are plenty of ASOP and Stock JB roms knocking about), has anyone else had this issue, and if so, has anyone got a nice step-by-step tutorial on fixing the Wifi issue?
I really need help now, as my phone is almost unusable without a Wifi connection.
Thanks in advance!

There was an issue about wifi in older leaks but it has been solved already. I suggest you should try latest jellybean leak XXDLI1. you will not have to full wipe... so dont worry. you will not lose any data or app or anything....
I've just installed CheckROM EVO HD 5.0 and my Wifi signal is still weak.
You mentioned in your reply that Wifi is fixed in newer JB builds, but why didn't it work going back to ICS stock either?
Really need an answer for this as I'm going round in circles.
I actually never tried going back to ICS.when I had the same problem I just flashed the newer JB and it worked like charm. Try installing different modem..

Does the modem really affect Wifi? I would assume that the modems only relate to the GSM capabilities of the phone.

In that case restore to ICS and wait for JB to be released by Samsung .

As you said before that you already installed back ics which also has different kernel than jb that you used and it didn't worked as well, so tests why I said TRY installing different modem.

why not just download a different rom? lots of custom roms such as hypergalaxy are nice light and basically stock but faster
Problem found!
Ok....I've found the problem.
It appears that my WIFI refuses to connect to any WIFI running on the 2.4Ghz spectrum. Whether I set security as Open/WEP/WPA/WPA2 etc I cannot connect unless I am literally within a metre of the Access Point.
Luckily at my workplace we have 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz spectrums available for WIFI. If I only allow the 5Ghz spectrum on my phone I can connect to the APs without an issue! Leaving my phone on 'Auto', allowing both 2.4 and 5 I cannot connect.
The problem here is, my home router, as with most people, doesn't support 5Ghz, and being with Sky Broadband I cannot get access to my Broadband account details. This of course means I cannot replace my router! :-/ I can however connect a new router to the network, disable AP on the Sky router and enable AP on the new 5Ghz router.
....so I have a work-around!
But this isn't enough! WHY WHY WHY does my phone have problems with 2.4Ghz???
Steps I have taken (in no particular order):
Flashed back to Stock, gone from Stock to Rooted ICS, ICS to JB, back again, and in every combination
Disabled Wireless Power-saving on my phone
Flashed various kernels
Flashed various modems (yes I know modems have nothing to do with Wifi...but some people on this forum insist this can fix Wifi issues)
....and NONE of the above have worked.
Could this be a hardware issue?
Anyone else experience this?

Have you tried flashing a different modem. It might solve your problem. You can find flashable modem thread in the general section.

As to my experience, most of the problem arises due to uninstallation not done proplery. Because of this old files do not get erased from the memory and causes conflict.
I would advise you to use rom clean script and do a fresh install oof rom

Or, like pasanjay said, flash a modem
Hi guys..
Two days ago, I made a wipe of the internal storage of my Galaxy 2. I don't know why after it, I lost a pone capabilities like, listen my phone calls. Actually, the phone is working as well as I like but, when I try to make any phone call, no sound on it.
Before the wipe, no problema was reported. It's not the first time I made a wipe. Ocasionally, I practice it to help the phone to work soft.
I don;t know if have to visit a technical support to check the internal parts like soung buttons controls or internal speaker.
Sorry for my English and thanks in advance for any help.
Is it able to play any kind of sound from its speaker ?
If it can then the speaker is all right
You can try reflashing the ROM.

Because you were hellraising, remember that the 9100 Samsung roms will flash one of their modems in place of whatever you had installed, so you'll need to flash one of our modems after you've flashed the ported Sammy rom. So it makes sense that ShoStock would have fixed that.
The AOSP roms won't replace the modem.
Don't know if that was your problem, but there it is.

The wifi on my Samsung S3 GT-I9300 device won't work. It just toggles on/off/on/off when I attempt to turn it on. I purchased the phone with the following already installed on it:
CWM
SuperSU
Android Version 4.2.2
Kernel Version - (says here in the about screen) 3.0.31-611730
Build number - Omega v45 - XXUFME3
I've done a LOT of searching here on XDA but I just find myself lost in a world of information. I found a video on youtube, but it's for the S4 and doesn't offer links to the correct files for the S3. Some have told me flash a new ROM and other a new Kernel, but because of version numbers, and not wanting to brick this phone... i'm not sure where to start...
Please would someone be willing to help me out? I am living in Honduras and the service I use is prepay here.. wifi is a HUGE money savings for me here. Many thanks to whoever is willing...
If it is an i9300 then download a stock firmware from sammobile that will work in your country (3G signal). Follow the guide in general forum on how to flash. Factory reset in recovery before first boot.
Test wifi before you install or restore anything, if still the same then it's a hardware fault.

Unexpected end of file means you have a corrupt download. Just download the firmware file again. If all else fails, look for a post in the S3 General thread regarding a complete back to stock method.

Wifi is related to kernel if you have changed roms ( which also changes kernel) then most likely it is hardware fault you could try flashing just a custom kernel and if the problem is still there then it is most likely hardware issue.

Yikes. Two words I was definitely hoping it was not.
Well.. I suppose it couldn't hurt to attempt a custom kernel, so the next question would be... any advice on which kernel I should attempt, and how exactly do I flash a kernel?

You need a custom recovery(Philz touch), flash it through odin. Than download googymax2 and copy it to your sd card. Than enter in recovery mode and flash the kernel.

Maybe a clean new install of your rom? In philz touch recovery select "clean to install a new rom". than install it. after that, wipe cache and dalvik cache
