[Q] I9100T: firmwared the stock I9100 JB test ROM and broke it - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
In my ignorance I loaded on the i9100 rom from Samfirmware XXLSJ, and it loaded ok. However the modem doesn't work. The symptoms are: connects ok to 3g network, however will not txt/make phone calls, the phone reports "not registered on network"
So, I tried flashing the XXLSJ JB again, this time with another modem, one that is supposed to be for the T variant, I'm in New Zealand by the way and use Telecom. Same deal.
No problem i thought, ill simply go back to an earlier official Telecom version on ICS. However, this now hangs on boot up on the S logo.I went back to an earlier one, that one also hangs. I went back to Gingerbread, that hangs on start up also on the S logo too.
So some questions:
Can i run jellybean and use some new modem?
If not, can i put it back to original 4.0.3 official firmware without it hanging?
I'm using Odin 3.07 to do the flashing.
Thanks in advance, i'll just be happy with a working phone at this stage :silly:

[Q]Is There Anything Else I Need To Do?

Hi,
Today I flashed my galaxy S3 to android 4.1.1, I already had jelly bean but the Poland firmware release. I re-installed the firmware but the UK version from SamMobile (Stock Version, Released On The 23/October) [Can't Post Links Untill 10 Posts] .
After flashing the firmware my phone won't seem to go past the Samsung boot screen, I have rebooted, battery pulled and also re-flashed the same UK 4.1.1 firmware but I still come across the same issue. I then played around with the phone wiping all its data and doing a factory reset, I then decide to flash back to the older jelly bean I was running (Poland) and it now boots up and displays a sense UI problem, I cant make calls and access a lot of other features like notification bar and app manager.
TL;DR: I Found The Problem, I Flashed My S3 By Clicking On Phone In ODIN And Not PDA :/ Is There Anything Else I Need To Do Since I Did Flash With Phone At First, Everything Seems Fine Now?
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Simon
Go to download mode
flash again

Can't get back to stock

I was testing the Sky Note 4.3 leak port from AT&T and everything was working fine. I had data, signal, mms, sms, wifi (after the fix) and all. But I got a bit greedy and tried to flash the Air Commands feature. What I didn't realize ( I was watching a show at the same time) is that I flashed the MJ5 baseband from the International Note 2, GT-N7100. Ever since then, nothing is working "properly." I can flash ROMs normally, but if I flash a ROM that is NOT 4.3, it says my internal storage is 0/0 bytes.
I've also lost my signal/data/imei/etc and it always shows baseband unknown (I have a efs backup folder, but it doesn't seem to read it properly). I can SOMETIMES get signal back when I reflash Jedi X19, but the occasions that it works, data still doesn't. If I reflash Sky Note 4.3, internal storage goes back to normal, but still don't have imei and what not and it says baseband unknown. I've already tried reflashing modems, but they never read.
Now I've tried restoring to stock using the pit file and stock rom, but it never works. the pit file doesn't repartition. If I flash the root66 stock firmware, it works, but goes into a boot loop. My startup logo also shows "Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-N7100." It thinks it's the international version??? I even decided to give it a go and tried flashing the Pit file for the international version and it WORKS. It repartitions it easily. However even with that, I try flashing roms and they work, but the internal storage problem and baseband problem still remain.
I'm thinking that if I wait until the official update comes out, I could get the official 4.3 baseband and firmware and maybe it'll work? I've tried the param_sboot_tz file and it gets stuck on sboot. If I just use the param_tz file, it gets stuck on tz.img. I don't know what else to try to get my phone back to normal. If anyone could help or somehow give a suggestion that I haven't tried, I would truly be grateful. Anyway, thanks for reading.
(Please no bashing, I know it was a mistake.)

[Q] GT-I9305 has multiple issues

My Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 LTE was running Liquid Smooth 2.37. Recently I lost notification and phone ring sounds and now I have lost baseband and I have no cell signal.
In the phone's 'about' section the baseband field is empty. Android version showing is 4.3.
I'm not quite sure what I did wrong, first to try and get back the sounds and then baseband, I have been playing around with various custom and stock ROMS and kernals to get full functionality back.
I've read tons of help posts but nothing works.
Here's a few of the things I've tried with results in brackets, used CWM recovery to restore working backup (failed 'unsupported file' message),
reflashed kernals (neither Boeffla nor yank555 have worked, wipe/data restore in CWM (it still takes me back to 4.3 with no baseband).
I thought I'd re-flash back to the phone's original stock ROM using Kies, but the weird thing is Kies doesn't restore, it upgrades to the latest 4.3 ROM which fails to restore baseband.
I wanted to send the phone back to the 4.1.2 it came with or was it an earlier ROM? I can't remember as I didn't note it down, I bought the phone second hand, it arrived loaded with a stock ROM for Australia's Optus network. I promptly rooted and flashed the phone to Liquid Smooth and the phone ran fine for months on the 2 Degrees Network in New Zealand.
Anyway, I must have tried reflashing a dozen stock roms I've found online using Odin. Some of them partially work, I get sound back, (it seems only the 4.3 ones work, with the german I9305XXUEMKC reliably loading - it even gives me a NZ english install option) but don't restore the baseband
. All the ones I've found for Optus are rejected, I get the 'unsupported device' or status 7 error in Odin.
So I decided to flash one that works, install cwm, root the phone and try installing different baseband kernals to fix the (probably corrupt) efs.
But I'm going round in circles trying to root the phone. Using CWM, supersu shows as successfully installed, but when I boot into the OS root checker shows my phone is not rooted. Knox seems to obstruct every attempt I make to disable it as well. I keep getting these 'knox stopped etc...from working messages'.
I'm sorry if my description is a bit confusing, I'm happy to clarify anything.
I'm at my wits end. I want to try everything before I have to ship the phone off to a repairer who may charge me hundreds of dollars to fix the phone.
This is I9300 not I9305 Q&A
Use the report button and ask a mod to move to the correct forum .
I can offer no help as i fail to understand the post .
As said before you are in wrong place and are not giving us a clear question to answer. If its a root problem there are fixes for it. Status 7 error is discussed in many threads. Flashing MG4 modem fixes efs problem. Downgrading causes problem. Learn to search before making a thread.

[Q] Intermittent network problem GT-i9300

Hi,
Firstly thanks for time and sorry if this is a noob question but I only have a fairly small amount of experience regarding custom roms.
Here goes...
I have changed the rom on my phone about 5 times over the last couple of years and never had a problem. I have the latest version of teamwin and I'm currently running Android Revolution HD 50.0 by mike1986. This rom works great as have all the other I have used in the past ie Cyanogenmod, Omega etc but the problem I am having is over the last 4 months I am completely losing network and even if I try to search for a mobile operator my phone can't find any unless I run a full power cycle.
I have been reading as much online mainly xda-developers to find a solution to this problem but I'm afraid I'm now just running into a brick wall. I understand this could just be a hardware fault but I have read somewhere that I may have the wrong modem installed for my phone.
How likely is this? Can having the wrong modem cause intermittent problems? Also if this is the case where the I find a tutorial on correcting this issue. Plus which modem should I be using in the UK?
Again thanks for you time and any help would be much appreciated.
Mike
Do a full wipe and flash the latest stock firmware for your country, then factory reset.
Test fully before you install or restore anything. If it is still the same then probably hardware.

ok, Will do. I am just waiting for the UK stock firmware to download. I left it downloading while I was out this afternoon and for some reason it failed and now is asking me to wait an hour before retrying
I'll let you know if this solves my problem.
Thanks
ok..
I managed to get hold of the stock firmware from another site. I first installed a version of ICS so I could run triangle away properly after rooting with CF auto root as without doing this I couldn't reset my binary counter even after flashing stock recovery. Then I installed the latest version of JB and ran the official Samsung update to get my phone up to the very latest Official software with device status official.
So now my phone is completely back to if it just came out of the box. I finished late last night and installed nothing but WhatsApp. Then at about 3pm today again I completely lost network and couldn't restore in without a full power cycle. Even searching for Network operators in settings couldn't restore the connection. I can't think of anything else to try.
Any ideas what to try next please?
P.S. The firmware I installed is as far as I can tell for my location. I'm in the U.K. and I'm using the stock BTU version on baseband version I9300XXUGMK6
the same i9300 problem

This is exactly the issue I have now - I can get some signal, but can't get anything in terms of using 3G/Mobile data :/

Galaxy S3 I9300(stock ROM 4.3) not registered on network

I've flashed stock ROM on my S3 cuz i was bored of these custom roms, and wanted stock.
I've installed the stock ROM sucsefully, but I saw Emergency calls only, and when i tried to phone my homephone it won't work, says im not registered on network
I'm trying to register, it says that i'm registered, but still problem
Make sure the firmware matches the device you're flashing. Flash the rom twice with a factory reset in-between and try again. There is also the possibility that you'll need flash something else too, like a patched or original modem..

Follow this method https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/emergency-calls-solved-t2748393
If this will not work then you have to repair network with the help of samsung z3x box
