with speedmod kernel.
(I should have flashed JPKJ2 gb 2.3.5 firmware, but because its outdated, flashed the kl1 2.3.6 instead)
My problem is that i cannot access the 2g or 3g internet. I have the jKay mod which turns the signal icons to green. but they dont. they just come on (grey) but dont connect.
I called the operator many times to install the settings. but still no help.
If anyone in uae, can u confirm theres a gb 2.3.6 for uae?
any advice?
I recently bought a samsung Galaxy Y, and this had 2.3.6 xxkk(?) firmware with arabic support. Can any UAE user confirm that there is a 2.3.6 official update for galaxy s2?

Check your APNs to see if they changed or got wiped out?

Yep, they are still there.
I installed new one by calling the helpline. they told me to restart my phone afterwards. i did, but still cannot connect.
Is it possible that marketenabler app is causing the problem? i know that when you switch sim ids (from local to US etc) u cannot connect 3g.
but even if i try to connect with local sim id it does not connect

Man, just Google for your provider apn details for android. As far as I know 3g etc should work the same on all firmwares unless your phone is not the international version.
I have the i9100t which has a different modem. When I flash any rom I reflash just the modem and all is good again. But first make sure your apn is correct and you have selected it (should have the green dot beside it).

Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2. I live in Rep. of Ireland.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

sxi200 makes an excellent point. Make sure what your model is - GT-I9100, GT-I9100G, GT-I9100T - it WILL make a difference.

Because I've flashed an international firmware, when the phone boots up it shows i9100 and in settings / about phone it also shows i9100.
The only place it shows as an i9100T is on the sticker under the battery. So remove the battery and check just in case.
EDIT: you say you flashed an Indian firmware. Aren't Indian models the i9100G. Maybe you need to flash the international firmware if you indeed have an international model.

Well, i did go back and flash the jpkj2 2.3.5. and still no connection.
will try from an open place again later.

i have an issue with my internet connection too. i got an I9100(international version) and things were perfect till i switched to 4.0.3 and since then, my internet just refuses to connect although i have full signal strength and 3G or H displayed. but there is nothing going through.
it works again after i switch to airplane mode and back. i have no issues with wifi.
i have tried many modems and roms. i am currently using the KI4 rom and it still gives me issues.
please help.

update on situation
Hi guys,
just an update on my situation. Had the phone sent to Samsung twice for a check and bothe times it came back perfect with test sheets showing all was perfect. I decided to have another check done on the phone and it now says that the phone is blocked!! What the hell!. When i checked first weeks ago all was good and now it says it's blocked, but i'm getting 2g signal, surely i should be getting nothing if it's barred.
I have no idea who the origional service provider was of the phone, is there any way of finding out who the origional provider was or is there any way of removing this barring?
Thanks

[Q] Insurance replacement ROM Update issues

Hi Guys.
I had my galaxy s2 replaced about 6 months ago after it got stolen.
I had 3 replacements until i got my last one which i still have.
The details:
Network: Three UK
Originally received the phone on: 2.3.6 XWKK2
At the time i tried to upgrade the firmware to ICS, but it wouldn't let me saying none was available either over air or through Keis.
So i took to the forums, and found that the firmware for this version was listed as Opus Australia.
Eventually i found some fware that worked: I9100XWLP7 Baseband Version:I9100XXLPS. Android 4.0.3
I have recently been having a few problems with my phone:
1. It crashes sometimes when i try to type a message: Unfortunately, MAPServiceSamsung has stopped,
2. When i try turn the wireless on sometimes it doesn't come on, the screen doesn't come on again and needs restarting
3. When i try turn wifi tethering on it needs a restart?
So, i was initially thinking of a version of ROM that was generic UK 4.0.3 , so that i can naturally upgrade to 4.1.2 when it finally gets to the UK.
Then i found 4.0.4 which i discounted because of a thread that said it could brick the phone if i used the wrong kernell (i am no techy).
So does anyone know of a good rom i can use that is generic UK either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 that i can fix my phone with?
Also how do i find out what CSC my phone is on? so i can replace that too?
Thanks

Hi thanks for your response. I have looked on there, but cant seem to find the correct 4.0.3 version.
There's a thread in original android development with many stock ROMs.
The OP is from the supernexus dev.
You can find it easily by looking at his threads.

Bad signal

I got the SIII i9300 and I upgraded it recently to 4.1.2. I don't know if it's from the upgrade or from my new carrier but I got some horrible signal (including indoors). It will show H and full bars, but when I try to call out the bars drop, it goes from H ro G and even a lost signal. So I don't know if its a ROM issue (it was a rooted stock BTW) or the radio needs a update.
Any thoughts? The provider is Play in PL.

Maybe incorrect RIL?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
OK. Found a link here with a 4.1.2 PL unbranded RIL.
XXELKC
Android:4.1.2
Date: 30/11/2012
Carrier-Country-Region: Unbranded - Poland - Europe
How do I install it?
Currently running:
GT-I9300
4.1.2
baseband:I9300DXELK1
build: JZO54K.I9300XXEMA2
Use Odin
OK.
Ill give that a try. It seems my ROM is a SG version :d'oh:
If it doesn't work I'll reflash my ROM with the PL unbranded which has the correct RIL.

Theres an app called getril where you can auto-match modem & RIL or just check if they are compatible if you dont have root.
I don't know where you live but I can recommend you to try out the XXELLA baseband / modem - simply the most battery and signal reception friendly baseband for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Do not forget downloading and installing correct RIL thru getril-app from Google Play for stable signal reception..

T-mobile UK Firmware

Short story
Can someone please point me to the T-mobile UK firmware?
Long story
I used Odin to flash Multipackage XXLH3 ROM for s5830i by Alucard1989pl
Since then I've had lots of issues with phone network.
For some reason my phone only connects to a network called EE.
Also when I search for available networks it doesn't show T-mobile.
Big thanks in advance for getting back to me. My GF is trying to kill me for messing her phone up. :crying:
try this one to see if sim can connect to T-Mobile...
GT-S5830i Hungary (T-mobile) 2012 November 2.3.6 S5830IXXLK3 S5830ITMHLI1
Firmware Download
Correct me if I'm wrong but hasn't T-Mobile and Orange combined their networks and are now known as EE?
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
For some reason Odin keeps giving me a "fail" when I try to flash that ROM.
@N8trix You're right. But still having network issues since flashing that CSC, PDA and PHONE.
Also somehow all 200 sim contacts were wiped.
Would just like to stock the phone. Kies firmware restore feature isnt working at all.
Sorry about the lack of detail right now. At work.
Are you sure you have S5830i. Maybe 5839i or a plain 5830. Or may be a different phone. Can you verify your model?
Do you want an empty life, or a meaningful death?

[Q] Problem with my baseband and CM10.1 4.2.2

Hello, first to say I'm from Spain and I don't speak English very good, but I'll try to do my best.
I have a GT-I9100 with CyanogenMod 10.1 (Android 4.2.2), baseband I9100XXLS8 (when I instaled 4.1.2) and Orange Spain.
My problem is when I am using mobile data, full signal, my phone often doesn't connect to the internet. I talked with a friend and he told me that I have to research how to change my baseband to the best for my android version and mobile operator. Can you help me? Tell me how to do it? Wich baseband version to use and where to find it?
If you don't understand something or you need me to tell you some other data, just ask and I'll try to do it my best.
Thanks,
Efalgae.
Just search for veyka,and google what can go wrong with flashing anything.
Read about nand/efs backups/odin pc setup/cwm and mobile odin.
Or you can just do what most of the impatient/lazy clowns on here do and flash a modem and pray nothing goes wrong.
-------------------------------------------
maybe your an iphone expert
------------------------------------------
Now then, you could sit here & hope someone who uses your carrier reads your thread & suggests a modem to test, and that may or may not happen. You could spend ages doing Google/XDA searches trying to find a modem that works with your carrier, or you could do the following (And I assume you mean mobile data sometimes works, sometimes doesn't ?) which could solve your problem sooner rather than later:-
Go to Samfirmware, find the stock roms released by your carrier. Start with the most recent one. Work out which modem is bundled with that stock rom (It lists Product Code/PDA/CSC/MODEM for each firmware when you click the link), do an XDA or Google search for that modem, flash it with CWM & test it. If that doesn't improve your connectivity, try the modem bundled with the stock rom released before the most recent one, test. And so on until you find one that works. Hopefully the modem bundled with your carrier's most recently released stock rom works for you tho; you'd expect they'd test it to ensure it works for most people most of the time & in most places with their network.
Whatever you do, don't flash any RIL's unless you've tried every single modem (including those bundled with stock roms released by other carriers & even in other countries; there are dozens), only flash a RIL as a last resort.
If mobile data never works, check the APN settings in settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/access point names Vs the APN settings on your carrier's website (Actually, double check these anyway even if you end up testing modems as above).
Thanks to all.
Because I have no patience, I decided to flash last official firmware released by Orange Spain, found in SamMobile.
I flashed it, flashed CWM again, and CM 10.1 again.
Seems to work perfectly.
Anyway, thanks again to yor answers
And...yes, my mobile data was workin sometimes and sometimes not.

[Q] Galaxy S Duos call problems

Galaxy S Duos
gt s7562
SSN S7562GSMH
Rooted, installed cwm, flashed new room.
After dialing a number the call stays only a few second and than disconects. It says out of service area. Than when i try dialing again it says mobile network not available.
Cant find the stock firmware anywhere, even on sammobile firmware list.
I flashed 3 different rooms and the same problem with calls.
Where can i find the stock firmware for S7562GSMH? Or any other solution for custom rom.
I tried PMP_Ultra_ROMv1, PMP_Light_ROMv7 and KOR-Release-340. Same problem.
i've got the same problem... did you managed to find a working firmware?
where the hell is SMH anyway? I bought my phone in Malaysia, but I believe it was an import phone.

OK, I got it working with this stock ROM.... S7562XXBMJ1
Ensure baseband is same or higher
Many ROM developers specify the baseband you should use while flashing the ROM. Always ensure this is same or higher to that. From my personal experience higher baseband worked for me. Also, ensure formatting of cache and dalvik cache.
For those who face issues in rooting, i have written a detailed guide. Please find below.
