Hello guys,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S II which was shipped with VAUKF4 modem. The reception of the phone is fine but when I try to flash a custom rom reception goes out the window.
Even trying to flash non carrier branded kf4 firmware and custom roms such as villain and SensatioN the problems are still the same.
So I was wondering if:
1. I could extract the modem file of the VAUKF4 firmware and flash it with SensatioN rom
Or
2. Do something else to fix this problem
Thanks

Hello!
Probably it's not the perfect thread to post in, but i've got an Ace with signal problems. I'm on 3 UK network, and so far i know, there's only 2.2 branded firmware issued for this device. I have that in md5 format, which i can flash through odin, however that is a [email protected] Is there any way to flash the csc from that to any gingerbread version? as it is in .rfs format, and odin does not really like it. Is it affecting in any way my phone if i flash that to a gingerbread format, or ICS if i can? If so, could you tell me how to do it? Or how to solve my network signal issue? So far itried it with CM7, CM9, but it was still bad. I mean i did not have any signal, however in my I9100 there's almost full coverage in the same place, and i'm not using stock rom on that one. I just flashed the modem from the carrier branded firmware, but to flash on that device is much more easier, as there is many source for the modem file in the correct format.
So to make it clear, i need someone to help me to solve network issue (3 UK) in any way like flashing somehow the modem from old 2.2 (if that's possible), or if someone can point me a firmware with working "radio"/modem. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I'm attempting to return my I9100 to stock so I can update via KIES as I wish to sell it, after rooting, flashing ICS, playing around for a month etc...
It was originally a T-mobile handset, I used checkfus to find the original stock ROM, and I've downloaded it, however, I cannot get hold of the stock kernel for love nor money! (I've googled it, found one apparent alternative source, but for some reason it wont boot using this and just keeps looping through the T-mobile branded load-up screen)
The kernel I'm after is the following:

[ROMS]Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113928
I've read the thread and checked both Sammobile and Samsung-update and neither has the BOKE3 Kernel.
If anyone has this, please, please could you upload it so I can return my handset to stock, I would really appreciate it.
Also, if I'm doing anything obviously wrong, please point me in the right direction, I am a n00b at this. (I've successfully reset my counter using triangle away, and flashed the ROM from checkfus, but KIES still says NO!)
Many thanks!

ps. I realise now I should have backed up my stock kernel and ROM before tweaking, stupid stupid stupid...
I stopped reading somewhere when you say you downloaded using checkfuS and now after a stock kernel.........
Buddy ROM package like you get from checkfus is whole thing including kernel.
Just flash the ROM using Odin.
But be sure its for i9100 if you have that.

Why don't you just download and flash latest ICS ROM with UK support?
Do you really need the branded version?
Just have a look at Intratech's other thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
I recommend XWLPD, as this has best balance between performance and battery life on my phone.
If you want to go bak to GB, then flash XWLA4, which was best GB ROM IMO.
Thank you so much atifsh!
I did wonder whether the firmware download from CheckFus included the kernel, but couldn't figure it out (I'm stupid, I know! I'm new at this stuff...)
It's definitely the i9100 (checked under battery), it's definitely a T-mobile UK handset (bought it from a T-mobile customer who provided the contract paperwork).
Last night I tried flashing the latest T-mobile firmware, but KIES didn't like it, so tried flashing the BOKE3 firmware (oldest T-mobile branded firmware) and it didn't like that either.
Someone mentioned that when flashing you need to add the firmware file to the CSC section of odin to reset the CSC code, is this correct? I normally only include it in the PDA section.
This may be the problem I'm having as when I check my CSC using *#272*IMEI# it only lists CPW (carphone warehouse) and not TMU (T-mobile). Does this make sense as to why KIES wouldn't recognise the firmware?
I really appreciate your input and help here. Many thanks!
Luke
Hi It_ler,
Thanks for the advice, I was running the latest ICS firmware from the official thread, however I've decided to sell the device and would like to restore it to stock so that whomever I sell it to can update it through the official methods if they so wish.
Hope that makes sense!
Luke
Remove Sim, remove external sdcard.
Put the firmware.md5 in pda
Put your phone in download mode
after flash and boot dial *2767*3855#
It will wipe your phone and hopefully fix your csc.
Atifsh,
Thank you SO much! You saved my bacon. It worked when I did the *2767*3855# reset, this fixed the CSC and then the phone could update via KIES.
I really appreciate you help,
Many thanks,
Luke
Hi... Anybody know how to make ODIN Flashable modems?
I heard its dangerous to mess up with modem and bootloader so I am humbly asking for your help on how to make one for myself.
I'm currently in philippines and I'm using I9300XXEMA2 with Modem I9300DXELK1.
I wanted to extract the modem on the firmware either from my phone or from my PC (using full firmware 800+mb in size) and make a ODIN flashable TAR.
My Reason is this..
I want to flash the latest android update for my Galaxy SIII and at the same time I want to use the latest Modem from the country I am in right now which is Philippines.
In short I want to flash the modem I9300DXELK1 (latest) over the latest firmware from other Region.
I am looking forward for your favorable replies.
Thank you very much.
Have a look in Perka's Stash. He got your modem as flashable Odin in there.
OK. Need a little help guys
S6 Edge G925F on 7.0 branded EE UK rom, but I have unlocked device through legit code from EE themselves, all good.
Trying to flash BTU rom 'G925FXXS5EQG1_G925FBTU5EQF1_G925FXXU5EQCD_HOME.tar.md5' via Odin3, and it's a no go, as it just hangs at the 'HIDDEN' part in Odin.
'G925FXXU5EQFH_G925FEVR5EQE1_G925FXXU5EQF1_HOME.tar.md5', which is EE based, and flashes just fine, but I'm wanting an unbranded stock rom, with no EE ****, and also no 'custom' ****. I was under the impression that the BTU version gave this?, but it will not flash (at least the one above, which is latest) at all? Not interested in 'PAY' rubbish, nor 'FITNESS' trash, nor calling over WiFi.
Any ideas, or am I missing something?, like my brain! lol?

Any particular reason you want to flash BTU? The only difference is you won't have the my EE app and lookout.
You will lose voLTE and WiFi calling. Other than the removal of the couple of bloat apps nothing will change only you will lose some features.
Anyway if you want to go ahead it's very simple, you can either
•unzip the firmware and manually remove the hidden.img then repack and flash and it will pass.
Or
•flash this PIT file through PIT options in Odin whilst flashing the firmware. Enable repartition before flashing

Option 1 is easiest and more convenient.
Many thx!!, worked a treat
