Hi all,
I'm new to Android but tech-savvy. I bought an AT&T I777 in the U.S. a couple of weeks ago, got it unlocked, and have been using it fine on my UK SIM.
Then, I got into rooting/hacking etc., and long story short I can't make or receive calls any more. The phone does dial out, and incoming calls ring, but once the connection is made there is no audio. It's as if both parties are on mute. Currently I'm on the Unnamed ROM v1.0.4, but the problem exists with any custom ROM I install, even the stock OS. The only thing I haven't undone (not even sure it's possible) is un-root/de-root the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chris
Try reflashing the modem. Entropy has a stock Odin flashable modem. Look in the development section. I don't know how to put links up from my phone otherwise I would. He has it mentioned about if losing voice to reflash modem from Odin. Hope this helps and solves your problem.

Here is the stock i777 modem (phone) TAR file.
Your audio shall magically return after you flash this:

You will need to flash this in Odin.
Be sure to put this in the PDA slot in Odin.
Good luck!
Fixed (well, reverted)
Hi,
Thanks for your useful advice. Before reading your replies I managed to get my phone back the way it was by getting hold of the stock ROM (file: Samsung_GALAXY_S2_ATT_I777UCKJ1_.exe). I've read so many forums and wikis today I can't remember where I found it, but it restored my phone to its original state and now everything is working again.
I've learned a lot along the way about rooting, flashing, CWM, etc. etc. so I may well have another go in the next couple of days, and knowing that the modem flash is available will give me the confidence to try again.
Thanks again,
Chris

All modems are available in zip format in the sticky thread in the development forum. If you have stock firmware and thus stock recovery, then you can not flash these, but you could flash the full I777UCMD8 package which you can download from the Download Repository. If you have a custom recovery, you can flash these directly from CWM or TWRP recovery. I am not aware of a tar version of any of the modems, so just flash the full stock distribution to get the modem.

Hi, thanks for reply!
Unfortunately even after flashing the full stock distribution I still have the problem. Everything works but still no audio. Sometimes after 10 restarts it comes back and I have audio for a while and then for no reason it disappears. Can you help me or suggest something?

It's always a question, is the issue due to firmware or hardware failure. It is normally considered that the test of flashing back to stock is fairly conclusive on this phone, ie. if you flash back to stock and the problem persists, then it is probably a hardware issue.
You could try flashing an earlier stock, maybe even the original Gingerbread I777UCKH7, and see if that clears the problem up. It never hurts to double check or even triple check your results, but it is beginning to look like a hardware failure.

Well....I think I might have done something really stupid. It should be obvious at the moment that I didn't understand completely what I was doing.
I just picked up my SGSII today from AT&T. In reading around I had hopes of a new ROM as I was very happy with CM on my captivate....unfortunately while in the process I followed instructions from an (obviously) european version of the phone and installed the KG6 modem....now I have no data connection.
I'm feeling really foolish...is there any way that I can get the stock modem for the AT&T U.S. Galaxy S2? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anybody? My phone is completely non-functional at the moment.
I've learned my lesson; I'll leave the modding to the more adept, I just need to get my phone back.
Try the stock plus root rom for odin/heimdall and that should over write the modem you flashed

FYI, you shouldn't expect rapid replies on a Monday morning.
The modem is currently missing from my "unbrick" packages, but this is an omission. I'll dump modem.bin tonight and post it up in my unbrick thread.
insaneturbo13 is not correct - as I said, my stock unbrick package is currently missing the modem.bin file. I will correct this tonight.

What would be the easiest way, If possible, to install european ROMS on the ATT version? Maybe, install the ROM without their kernel and modem and replace them AT&T's ?

I got all excited when my brother got his gs2 and I flashed a euro rom before I realized what I had done. I used entropy's stock package to get him fixed. Then he calls me from home and starts *****ing about how he can't use data unless he's on wireless. I put 2+2 together.
I am, like the others here, super eager to get that modem file when you post it. It would be a huge help. If it's not too much work on your part entropy, could you post a cwm version of the modem as well? I'd rather not have to flash him back to stock again just to fix the modem.
He's an iphone expat so I'm trying to make his android life smooth as possible.
I'm going to get home around 6 PM Eastern.
Initially I'm going to post up a Heimdall (and hopefully also Odin) flashable image of just the modem binary for those in a hurry, then I'll work on a CWM zip (need to find a reference one to pick apart in case it's different from the Infuse), then I'll upload a new more complete "unbrick".
Thanks for the donation cgrums.
OK, here's an emergency flash package for modem recovery - http://www.multiupload.com/JTFK1K1FOA
It's just a little too large to be an XDA attachment, sorry if multiupload is a problem for you.
It contains both a raw modem.bin, and a .tar file containing modem.bin (yes, redundant!)
It is NOT a CWM-flashable ZIP. Repeat, do NOT try to flash this ZIP in CWM. Seriously, it won't work!
The following method for flashing the modem IS tested:
Unzip the attached package
Use Heimdall to flash from the command line
Code:
heimdall flash --modem modem.bin
The following method for flashing the modem should work but is NOT tested:
Use Odin to flash the contained .tar file, using the Phone slot for the .tar
Man, before I even leave work! Awesome! Thanks again!
I made an error above - I believe in Odin, modem has to be in the Phone slot not PDA.
As I said in the post above - Heimdall is tested, Odin is not.
As to CWM - the maintainer of the I9100 modem collection frowns upon CWM for modem flashing - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131950&page=2 . It sounds like CWM-flashing of modems might have issues on our device, I haven't had time to investigate but right now I'm going to trust pulser_g2's judgement for until I have more time to figure out GS2-isms of modem flashing. I've got a ton of stuff to do and I'm going to drop CWM-flashing of modems in priority for now since it should rarely be needed.

I flashed the tar in odin using phone, the phone rebooted, but it will only make calls. The phone cannot use the internet when the wifi is off. Do you have any suggestions? I am going to try flashing your entire recovery image when you update it tonight.
What does your baseband version say now? If it flashed properly it should say UCKH7.
If it doesn't, it didn't flash for some reason. I know it flashes properly with heimdall, odin is kind of untested.

I had my brother do the factory reset, wiping the user data. That seemed to fix it (although we did flash your modem prior). Thanks so much!
I am happy to report that I am on my way back to functionality!
I've noticed a difference in connectivity though. At times, typically out-of-doors, I get decent signal strength and HSPA+ connection. Call service is a bit spottier than I remember it before the hijinks.
Inisde buildings is a completely different story...I can't seem to maintain a data connection of any type.
My baseband shows I777UCKH7 so I believe the flash went well. I'm planning to flash back to stock to get a good starting point going forward.
Anybody else experiencing similar issues? Thoughts?
This community is awesome!
I think someone did indicate that things were funky until they wiped - not sure though.
One click + CWM ICScrewed = in call audio problem
Hi I used your on click root kernel and then used CWM to flash the ICScrewed ROM .zip file.
Now I am having a problem where when I make or receive a call there is no audio. I still have data and wifi connectivity though it seems.
Could it be a problem with my modem? If so how do I flash another and where can I find the appropriate one?
Thanks, and sorry I cannot post on the ICScrewed page as I do not have permission to post in development yet.

ANSWERED - Firmware Install - factory reset in recovery
I made a mess of a rom install rushing through rom Manager and now my phone can't get past the Samsung screen when booting, and I can't find out the version of my kernel to install the correct one without getting my phone on. I can get the phone into download mode and I have tried a number of different kernels but have had no luck. It's a UK phone so I know it's a XW or XX to start, I was wondering is their a kernel that works on any SGS2.
I have been having trouble with getting windows to recognize the phone and have found a number of fixes on this site which have worked and not worked (atm not connecting)
it's a sgs2 GT-i9100
Any advice greatly appreciated
Did you make a Nandroid backup? If so boot into recovery (vol up, power, home buttons) and restore the backup.
Can you get into recovery mode. Vol up plus home plus power. Then do a factory reset. this should get past the Samsung boot screen. Then flash another rom.
Sent from my ThinkPad Tablet using XDA App
Thanks for getting back, no unfortunately not, couldn't see recovery mode since the original failed rom install. That combination gets me to download mode now.
So as far as I can tell I need to get a firmware working properly or do a reset but I don't know which is the right firmware to use
Main thing is you can get to download mode. If you can do that, you can fix your phone 95% of the time.
You can find carrier/country specific firmware here or country-only/non-specific firmware here

I actually flashed some of those kernels XWKE1 for example and a few others with no joy.
The problem started when I tried to update the Galent Miui ICS which I see you are running. I (stupidly) didn't read through the statement as I had my NYE hungover and just put the update on my sd and used recovery to update which froze the phone at the boot screen. (I didn't do re-flash and I didn't wipe the data and everything else.) I know it sometimes takes time to boot but I had left it for a half hour to see if it would and no joy. I was no longer able to get to recovery mode so I tried a half dozen kernels with the same problems before putting up a post. I'm not sure would people find it inappropriate to talk about an this problem here, I thought as it's a kernel problem now it would be a better place to find the solution although my own lazy Miui install was the cause.
Flashing just the kernels obviously didn't fix the problem. Have you flashed any of the entire stock firmwares ? Choose the most recent firmware for your carrier/country from the first link I gave you (if there's more than two listed).

All good, I installed the firmware and was able to get into recovery mode from there. Did a factory reset because I was stuck in a boot loop. Going to give it a go again to upgrade to the new ics build. Any advice on the best process of getting there?
I installed the following firmware prior to the reset
UK
XWKE1:http://www.multiupload.com/15RY5CHHW9
Firmware info: PDA: XWKE1 Phone: NEKD5 CSC:H3GKD4
Yep. Given the problems you've been having, stay away from the currently alpha ICS builds that are floating around.
Frankly, that's a disaster waiting to happen.
Wait until CM (or someone else) releases something that's stable and has most things working in 4-6 weeks or so.
There's a ton of roms/kernels out there, do your research/reading & ask questions if necessary in the respective threads for those & then pick something out & try it.
And no, I don't do recommendations. Because nobody's phone come's out of the factory the same, nobody has the same phone setup & nobody uses the phone the same way.

OK, I did like the Galnet Miui ICS rom I was running although there was a few bugs with it when it died it was difficult to charge again. That's fair if you don't want to give out recommendations it's shooting in the dark over the interenet I suppose. I will have a good look through the forum and se if I find something that I would think is suiting.
Thanks for your help, and the advice is appreciated
Wow! I need some help. I've acquired a Samsung Galaxy Note (i717, I believe) that shows all the signs of being healthy (appearance, touch screen, etc.) but persistently slows down at the ATT opening splash screen, begins to load Android, dies and reboots. Whatever variant rooted ROM I received it with (sluggish and unreliable) I have written over and now I can't get any farther than the Android settings screen. Therefore I do not know the exact version nor can I begin to set it up (wifi, etc.).
That's the 'presenting problem', so let me explain what I've done to this point (about 25 hrs. worth!). I have reloaded latest version of CWM (runs great) and then Padawan JB . . . same symptoms. I have loaded the ATT JB and ICS via the latest Odin successfully . . . with same symptoms. I have loaded TWRP (touch screen is snappy and works as it should) and Padawan JB again . . . with same symptoms. I have wiped caches before, after, and in between till I'm blue in the face, each time with the same symptoms. Most recently I have done a hard reset to native/factory settings . . . with no change! I've tried to scour the XDA (and any other sites) trouble shooting articles and seem to have come to a dead end.
Here's a couple things that I'm wondering: because I can't get deep enough into Android to check out the model number, could the phone be something other than an ATT model? At the top of the front face it simply says 'Samsung', not ATT at top and Samsung at bottom like my previous ATT Note. Right after boot I persistently get an ATT splash screen which would lead me to believe that it is ATT. Is there some other way to find model, say in TWRP? Do I need a phone specific version of Android? Second, everything seems to be working fine physically (i.e., no hardware problems). Could this thing have gotten a virus in an earlier life that's preventing the ROM from working right? I've not been able to get far enough to register it with my cell provider (second party, not ATT). Must you be up and running with the cell service to correctly load and use the ROM (wouldn't think so)? And if so, how without Android working? I've been using and playing with computers for 25 years, but I'm fairly new to the Android system (but learning fast!) Any help would sure be appreciated. I'd really like to resurrect this baby. I loved my first Note (till it fell off the car and disappeared).

Well, if you keep flashing an AT&T based rom, then yes, you will get an AT&T boot animation simply because it's part of the rom you are flashing.
You said "you think" you have an I717, did you take the battery off and physically look at the sticker beneath it to see the model?
Try TWRP, go to WIPE, and WIPE everything, which means checking every checkbox. Then flash a stock rom with a fresh phone (no data, nothing at all)
You said you did CWM->Padawan.. these are two totally different roms, so you should always do a factory reset whenever flashing two totally different roms.
You can't just rely on the Android->settings to see the info since roms overwrite these stuff in build.prop so if you flash a wrong rom, wrong info will show up.
Here's my advice:
1. Flash TWRP
2. Wipe in TWRP, check every checkbox
3. Flash a stock i717 rom
4. Reboot
If that doesn't work, either hardware is bad or your phone isn't for the I717 roms.
Edit:
Question, have you ever come to a point that the phone boots successfuly at all? You did mention CM works great. But you can't go from CWM->TW Based rom without factory reset in between.

I would reflash cwm thru odin after that I would flash the latest TWRP 2.5. Then you can flash whatever. If padawan is givin u problems try something else like AOSP or AOKP. Padawan is TW based. JaimeD builds are pretty sweet.

Question, have you ever come to a point that the phone boots successfuly at all? You did mention CM works great. But you can't go from CWM->TW Based rom without factory
I would reflash cwm thru odin after that I would flash the latest TWRP 2.5. Then you can flash whatever. If padawan is givin u problems try something else like AOSP or AOKP. Padawan is TW based. JaimeD builds are pretty sweet.

If you go thru Odin you would have cwm first. With the problems talked about, I would go back factory stock then re-root with Odin. Then thru cwm, flash twrp or whatever floats your boat.

Nope. If you want TWRP, then flash TWRP via Odin. No need to go through CWM first. You can flash TWRP via Odin, you know that, right?

No I didn't know that. All of the Odin programs that I dealt with flash cwm. Than for the Intel tho. :thumbup:

you are both actually correct, however, I am looking at PSTRULM's stats. if he is anything like me when I started, the more simple and less complication involved in the process, the more he may understand.
ANDROIDMECHANIC is stating the most basic and beginner way to do this and understand simply. after doing this a few times as I did, the basic mechanics of the process will become more fluent.
then he can make his own decisions as to methods which might be easier for him, without confusing.
I am sure you both are a huge help to everyone and I thank members such as yourself for your efforts. ME, I prefer baby steps, cause I know I can really EFF things up if I get confused

Just a reminder.. when flashing through Odin, make sure it's an ODIN-flashable tarball, i.e., you can't flash a recovery-type zip through Odin and vice versa.
So i flashed a p4 rom and apparently it was not intended for my p4vzw. i know its sad. anyways no worries, got it back on akop, but now i have a unknown baseband. I am searching and searching but i can't seem to find any files on this.
so questions are
1 anyone know if there are radio files.
2 or do i have to get it back to stock and then root again.
thanks in advanced

The easy way would be going back to stock, the other way, i know that you can find modems on http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=3008
One way to fix it
I've had similar issues lately playing around with installing CM10.1 and the modem getting messed up. I did use adb to make a modem.bin backup from stock ICS, but then could not figure out how to flash it. In the end what I did is flash the original stock ROM. Search for STOCK VZW Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE Factory Firmware PDA_HC31_EG01Ba_AP352081user_CP1033580_LTE20110704_0708.tar
That will put it back to the original Gingerbread factory image. It will have to go through multiple OTA updates to get back to ICS. I know this is a pain to do, but my nandroid backup of the OTA updated stock ICS when restored did not restore the modem, and the modem.bin I created from instructions at mygalaxyway.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-share-your-nandroid-backup-and.html was kind of useless.

Thanks. But i did the factory image and I still get unknown radio. Odin flashed successfully yet no modem.
I'll flash again maybe it was a fluke
SCH-i905?
You have an SCH-i905?
Yea I do. No matter how many times I flash the factory stock in Odin. The radio doesn't stick
does that mean id be able to use the p4wifi rom? i dont care about the radio files i just want one of the p4wifi roms...
Id love to have the ics radio files to flash too. when I odin the stock image it fixes nothing for me.
So basically I found that my csc file is gone. The Lte factory image doesn't include it. I bet it's on purpose.
What ever the case if we get a csc file for the tab and flash it then flash radios or flash firmware then csc it should work.
That's my guess at least. What's weird is there is no factory Firmware to be found on the Samsung site for the i905. Not sure why.

Please let this happen please
So i am still researching this.
I am going to write Samsung mobile to see if they will release the firmware for the tab. I am sure it has to do with Verizon not wanting anyone to keep that i905 that rooted it or flashed the stock firmware.
I can't be the only one that is missing the CSC file after an odin stock firmware flash. and i think its very odd that samsung has every firmware i can think of except the i905.
Im just taking stabs here.
I am also assuming thats the problem, thats the one part of the /system that's missing.
it would be cool if anyone had a i905 with lte and posted their CSC file.
how would i go about requesting that? just post
"[request] CSC file for i905 galaxy tab 10.1"
i have never asked for a request before.

I have done that. When i flash the stock firmware i still don't have a baseband and i can't do any updates.
I have no problem rooting. I just don't any radios.
maybe i am missing something here but once i flash back to firmware stock the radios don't stick so when i when boot up i get unknown radio and no updates are ever found.

I have the same problem. I tried flashing modem it works fine but when I try flashing lte_modem.bin I get an error in red writing and it doesn't flash. I've tried this with every version of Odin. I used the modem files from the full Odin image. I think it was EG01. I download it multiple times nothing has worked.
k,
so if anyone is interested, i finnaly got around to digging and came up with a processes to get the modems back. its technical and i am sure i am doing something wrong cause i can't get it to get on the network. could be a lte chip at this point. anyways.ill try tomorrow
it must be rooted. go to dev settings and check debug and root accsess: apps and adb.
then download EFS professional. go to restore and restore. nothing will change.
flash original firmware with odin.
once it installs you can see your radios... this it where it stops. I can't get it to access LTE. it has correct time and knows its on the verizon network. but no lte.
I then rooted to see if i could carry my radio files to 4.2.2 and i can't. radio unknown. tomorrow i am going to go to VZW and ask them if its a bad sim. will update tomorrow or when i get around to it.
Update:
So it was a bad sim. once a new one was put in i got LTE but now it wont update. Ha one problem after another. So now i can't flash 4.2.2 cause i loose radio. I believe you have to be on ICS before you can flash to 4.2.2, anyways its been a few days and it still thinks its up to date.
So now i need to know how to force an update..... will update if anything else happens
So I rooted a Note II,which had never been updated from VRALJB. using the NO YOU casual injection
I updated TWRP from 2.5 -> 2.6.3.1
loaded ROM:
[ROM][I605VRUFND7][4.4.2]OFFICIAL STOCK (its the leaked)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021
Waiting on the red screen for about 20 minutes now. Should I have changed the kernel from what it was originally (never took an update)? I want to be sure the bootloader doesn't get relocked. I'm hoping I didn't need to update the kernel before I installed this ROM. No one really said what to do, so I went ahead with it.
Of course my post count is less than 10 so I can't ask those who are actually installing now. And because I'm in a rush, and the rules of the forums, I left off the title. So if you get to the bottom of this and realize you just wasted 5 minutes, sorry, thank a spammer.
do you have STOCK ROM with Odin??
Stock ROM with Odin?
You probably just need to flash MJ9 firmware via ODIN and repeat process. Read Beans (Alliance) thread or others for directions. I would probably update to the latest of TWRP though, double check that though.
It originally was stock VRALJB. rooted via Casual NO YOU method. After I rooted via casual method, I didn't replace the stock with a different ROM via Odin, but according the the threads to root, I could have just flashed new ROMs via TWRP. I was taking the advice per Adam Outler in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045563 which he suggest don't use Odin unless absolutely necessary. And I've been upgrading my motherboard on my workstation, which is what I normally use to connect to phone. My laptop can't hold a steady connection to the samsung because of drivers, it's pretty frustrating and something I gave up since I figured out that it was just easier to have the desktop do it, but right now thats not an option because it's in pieces.
But my problem is exactly the same as this guy, post #93 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2765021&page=10
I did manage to follow the steps he used (post #99), which was to wipe, wipe, ROM, then Agni kernel. It took, and seemingly no problems. But when I go to get on wifi this morning, it wouldn't start. Trying to toggle the switch wouldn't work, and trying to hotspot it led to "error".
Thanks for helping out.
I'll look around to see if I can find the Red Beans Alliance thread. I thought maybe I needed an MJ9 FW, but I wasn't sure how to put it on (trying to stay away from Odin). That guy posted that he was coming from 4.1.2, which I was coming from 4.1.1.
thanks again.

You do need to Odin the MJ9 firmware to get WiFi working.

Yeh, that did it. My NFC doesn't work, but I'm not sure if that is a problem with the ROM itself, rather than not having proper driver and modem loaded.
Thanks again.
I did try to load the modem from MJ9 zip through TWRP, but didn't seem to work.

Well it may work once the ND7 firmware is released. From an update to the thread you linked it should be tomorrow.
Nfc works fine on the Sr MJ9 based rom I'm running.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk
Well the ND7 takes care of part of it. But with the ROM, then I no longer have root. And using the built ROM, I was having the same problems as others. I'll report back, I thought it might have something to do with TWRP, because even when I flashed the update superSu from Beans thread, still couldn't get root back.
