mainboard replaced - No cellular network - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My i9100 died some months ago, it was impossible to boot (Tested different batteries, SIM-cards and chargers). I think it was overheating when I used it for the last time.
I bought a used mainboard from China and build it into my phone. It had Stock Gingerbread installed and was used in Iran.
An IMEI-analysis says that the board is a european version
Information on IMEI xxxxxx
Type Allocation Holder Samsung
Mobile Equipment Type Samsung GT-i9100 Galaxy S II
GSM Implementation Phase 2/2+
IMEI Validity Assessment Very likely
Information on range assignment
Est. Date of Range Issuance Around Q2 2011
Reporting Body British Approvals Board of Telecommunications (BABT)
Primary Market Europe
Legal Basis for Allocation EU R&TTE Directive
Information on number format
Full IMEI Presentation 35xxxxxx
Reporting Body Identifier 35
Type Allocation Code xxxxxx
Serial Number xxxxx
Check Digit 0

I use cm12.1 (12.1-20150430-UNOFFICIAL-i9100) but I also don't have cellular network with other ROMs. GPS, Wifi, BT etc. are working
Search for mobile networks is not successful and I can't execute USSD-Codes. The efs-partition is not corrupted. Most files are from 2010, last changes 2013.
Do you have any idea how to solve this?
Best regards

Have you checked which baseband software version is showing under "about phone"? This is stored in /dev/block/mmcblk0p8, and would not be updated by installing CM. I think I9100XXMS4 was the last European one. Rather than messing around with installing this, you can simply install Sale's NeatROM (modified Samsung 4.1), before installing CM etc.

Another thing to consider, but I not sure how you'd check or fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/general/external-antenna-socket-warning-t1273292
This would mean the radio modem is booted & working OK, but no antenna = no signal = no networks.

---

My baseband was XXKI4. I installed XXMS4 but that didn't change anything.
The antenna socket is not damaged or anything but i don't know how to check the functionality without destroying the coonnection to the internal antenna (provided it works at all).

Hmmm @tgb456
Install stock 2.3.3 and root it.
Connect your phone to PC into ADB. Start logcating and make log:
--restarting phone
