Hi. You must flash a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM to flash modem software.

Thanks a lot. I switched to this rom becouse in the slx camera doesn't work
I flashed some modems, the signal seems to be fine, but i cannot connect to internet using mobile data. The APN seems fine, is it related to the fact that i my imei is unknown ?

In some GSM Networks the phones use the IMEI adress to acces data. This could be your problem.
Yup the imei was missing. Now everything works fine.
After the latest update from S226 to S227 "modem_P780_V23_S226.zip" does not work. I only applied it after i installed S227.
I have root and TWRP is installed. (P780_ROW_s227_141121 , Baseband Version P780.V23, 2013/12/06)

I've tried like every modem from your thread but none of them seems to be working with my phone. The signal bars aren't constant. they keep droping from 4 to 1. What should I do ?

Hi. You could try 2 thinks:
1. This could be a software provlem and flash stock rom or another then try all the modems again and see what happent.
2. This could be a hardware problem and change your phone motherboard !
I dont think it's a hardware problem, the phone is brand new, i have it for like a week.

Can you go to Settings>About phone >Status >Sim status and see if your Signal strenght fluctuates.
-70 dBm Minimum signal strength for reliable packet delivery. Email, web
-80 dBm Minimum signal strength for basic connectivity. Packet delivery may be unreliable. N/A
-90 dBm Approaching or drowning in the noise floor. Any functionality is highly unlikely.
It says -94 to -100. I dont know what the hell that means

"A signal of -60dBm is nearly perfect, and -112dBm is call-dropping bad. If you're above about -87 dBm, Android will report a full 4 bars of signal. "
Mine is 74 usualy and when a i have bad signal it is 98+. Can you check your signal in other parts of the city you live in?
It can be a provider issue .
I live in a big city (Cracov), provider isn't the issue. I had many phones with the same provider and no problems at all.

My czn galaxy s2 is working perfectly has xwlpd 4.03 except he detects sim but shows no service for sim...
plzzz help me...
i will be very thankful to u.........
Hi!
Since you are new here, it might be the best time for you to read the forum rules just to get you informed.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?a=81 check it out!
1. try inserting your sim in another phone, if you find a signal in the other phone, then there might be something wrong with the s2..
if there is still no signal, then it is a network related problem and call your network operator
2. if you find a signal in the other phone and not in your s2, then you must flash a modem..
DEFINITION:
*Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc....... (but not WiFi connection, that and switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel). Reasoning as to why Modem has no influence on WiFi can be found in this post by Entropy - http://<b>http://forum.xda-developer...count=6556</b>
USAGE:
*There is no one "Best" modem for everybody. Unfortunately you actually have to try to find the modem which works perfectly for you on performance, strength and battery drain levels. The good thing is that from my lengthy 8 month experience with Galaxy S2, I'm happy to report that there are a few modems that seem to perform well geographically for most users. These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3, KI4, KL1, LPS, NEKF2, NELP2 & NELP3.
COMPATIBILITY:
*Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.
INSTALLATION:
*I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". For the moment I suggest asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery (flash the CWM modem zip within recovery). For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.

This isn't a how to get data to work thread, i have a problem with the data connection so it's not a question and i dont think i need to put in the Q&A section, though you may have your own opinion.
Purchased for the USA and carrier unlocked and brought to India. I've tried 2 different indian service providers, Reliance and Vodafone, and on both the voice and txt works but no data..the 'E' symbol is there but no Upload and download arrows...

Something is not working...you are asking for help ("Any help on this?")...sure seems like a Q&A thread candidate to me....
If changing the APN setting doesn't work, you probably need to flash a different radio. If I remember correctly, the 36p and 100r work pretty good in India. Radios can be found at the link below.

Well, sure, sorry for that then
Ok, i saw the files, got this : http://samcripp.com/files/ downloaded the asia_retail26aug file...
Question : Says CWM flashable, but the phone is brand new with a locked bootloader and NO root. So can i still flash CWM Recovery and then flash this file?
Before you can do any kind of flashing you need to unlock your bootloeader and install some sort of custom recovery. Rooting is irrelevant.

Well maybe you could help me on that too as i saw a WARNING thread in the dev section regarding the 4.5.141 version saying the device can get hard bricked..
I have at&t atrix running on stock 4.5.141 and data on vadafone works fine in mumbai
So if your phone is with stock at&t rom ideally it should work
But still if you are going to flash radios
then first root the device then unlock bootloader and install cwm - guide is in same forum
And keep a nandroid backup of your stock setup just in case you need it !
All the best

Hey. I flashed CM9.1 and now I've lost my mobile data connection (no 3g, edge, gprs, whatsoever). I used GetRil and downloaded the matching RIL but still no luck. What can I do?

Questions belong in the Q&A forum, not the general forum.
However, CM9 has a dedicated thread for discussion. There's currently 43,087 posts in there. Others seem to have managed to use it, maybe you can too.
u should find a proper radio/modem and reconfig the apns and the gps.conf file
or maybe u lost ur imei and efs config :S
I have an S3 i9305 4g lte version, on orange network uk. I rooted the phone using CWM. Then installed the Panorama ROM, using the guide on here. And yes i have used the search function, followed pretty much every guide there is. Still no solution. Im beginning to think my phone will forever be caught up with this problem
on top of there being no service. The phone itself has started to randomly turn off, and also lags!
I regret rooting lol just wasn't meant to be.
Can anyone help me? Literally, I would be so grateful if someone can actually help me fix this problem. I basically just want my network service back, regardless of unrooting or not.
Thanks a million in advance!

Don't let one unsuitable ROM tarnish your experience Try flashing a different modem.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740061
Also, if you're unhappy with the ROM, flash another one. Plenty of good roms out there.

I'm no modem expert, but search based on your region http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356325
Try different ones to see which one works best for you. Also search those threads for your network/region to see what other people are using.
Does your IMEI match the one under the battery?
Do you have an EFS backup?
Also, this is a section for the i9300

Two flash a stock rom via Odin .
Three paid for service repair .

****Let me start by saying that I did do a full EFS backup... but ignored the fact it went to my internal storage, which I wiped and is now lost****
Ok, so decided to upgrade my ROM from S4 Revolution 7.0 to 8.0. Everything went fine, but ended up with no signal (circle sign in the notification bar) and couldn't register on the network. Did some reading, found out I needed to move to the XXEMG4 modem. Flashed it via CWM, signal was back. All was good.
But, I decided I wanted to shift back to stock. I went through the excellent tutorial here, and flashed 4.1.2 specific to my region (Thailand). Unfortunately I ended up with the old "Could not register on the network" issue. Again, did some reading and found out that once you move to the XXEMG4 modem you can't use an earlier version due to updating your EFS partition.
So my solution was to do a quick root, and flash the XXEMG4 modem again. Rebooted, got registered on the network and my data came back online (H+, 850mhz). I thought all was good but after a day of testing I have noticed my data speeds on H+ are ridiculously slow. We are talking 0.16 Mbps.
I can only think this is due to the modem not being optimised for my network.
Does anyone know any other modem I can flash that maybe faster / optimised for my network in Thailand? (True H+). OR should I wait for Samsung to release an official 4.3 and then flash that with its modem?
I think my EFS is fine (other than the upgrade), but have attached screenshots as I do not consider myself an expert when it comes to modems etc.
Thanks for any help.

Trying that now, will use the XXEMB6 modem and see how things pan out.
And you're right, it is a sh**.
Ok, so tried installing Ariza Patch and then flashing a older modem (xxemb6). No joy. It shows the signal bar, but won't register on the network.
I then tried flashing BUUGMJ3 which registered on the network, but same speed issues. Dead slow.
So now back to the MG4 one. I have noticed what maybe a related issue, my data icon is constantly switching between H and H+. It did this before, but now its all the time.

:good: Thanks for the info, I'll take a look at that tomorrow (I'm a little worn out after 2 days of messing with my phone).
I'm also considering flashing the 4.3 official ROM and seeing if that helps any. The Thai version should land any day now.
