Any other options? appreciate the inputs.

[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Dunno if I can post here, but forgive me for trying anyway. Please hear me out:

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II NTT Docomo SC-02C

I was able to sim unlock it (so now I can use my Sun Cellular prepaid sim)

I have successfully flashed the ROM and Kernel from here

I also flashed XXMS3 modem w/o RIL from here

I then used GetRIL from Play Store to set the RIL for the firmware

Current baseband is I9100XXMS3

Here's the thing, I can send/receive messages, but I have 2 issues:

1. I have no 3g/HSUPA connection, It's always on EDGE connection

2. I can't make/receive calls. Upon making a call, the phone app displays that it is still making a call, even after a few hours, and upon ending the call, the app does not close. I asked my gf to call me, she says it keeps ringing on her end but my phone is not ringing.

So it's either:

1. The radio/modem/RIL

2. The ROM/Kernel

I'd like to seek advise on what modem to use and if it is advisable to use GetRIL (or can I get the RIL from you guys?)

I'm also seeing posts about the modem/RIL for 4.1.2 for example not working on lower versions of android, is it the same as when using a RIL for 4.1.2 in 4.2.2?

Dunno if I should flash to stock ROM (or if I should flash the docomo rom again) or try other ROMS/Kernels..

I'm quite stumped actually..:eek:
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
most likely it's your modem. try looking for other modems here in xda. I'm using an i9100 so I'm not sure if the same modems work fpr your device. getril is also helpful, try installing other compatible rils for your modem.

EDIT: forget GetRil. it seems it's giving you outdated files that might just worsen your problem. see here: http://xdaforums.com/show...php?p=42825610

Hey there guys.

Just wanted to know if anyone here is on stock JB that was updated via kies? As I wanna know what modem is on the stock update, id think that would be the best one to use as it is intended to be used in this region.

Im on Omega right now and Im looking for a better modem to use.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:

Mga kabayan! Let's liven up this thread a bit! Haha! Have you guys tried timely? For me it is truly one of the best clock app out there! One of those apps you can boast to them iOS users! Haha! It has this aosp like look which complements my aosp rom choice (vanilla rootbox)! :)

If you do find the app good, we can help each other! Haha! Input this ZUSS-S2SD-GC8Q at settings under referral code to get 2 points to claim stuff :D In my case, I'm looking to remove the ad. Lol!
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
so, how long do you plan to hold on to your i9100? I'll be holding on to this gem for as long as there's an active rom community that supports it.
[Galaxy S II General] Gutslit:
Same here.. ;)

Edit:

Planning 2 upgrade to GN3 as soon it hits,Pinas..hehe..
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
Lol. I'm actually kinda solved still with my galaxy s2. It has awesome developer support. My classmates (who has the gs4, note 2 and other high end devices) actually are more amazed of my phone than theirs. Haha! After all we (xda-users) can command pie, multi task with halo, change ui appearances and have the latest android version everytime! Who wouldn't be envious of that? Haha!

To answer your question. I'm saving my money now for a nexus. I'm kinda hoping that it would be made by a brand I like (like the sony nexus rumor) haha. Not fond of LG lol! If I don't like the brand, then no deal. I shall still wait. Haha!

To those curious. I'm now using slimbean beta 4 android 4.3
[Galaxy S II General] Gutslit:
Sony nexus if thats what be the latest Nexus,wil save my money 4 it.hehe..

I tried slimbean,but i revert back to rootbox unoficial latest build by Nico, slim is good and fast,neat but theres no dual panel support.hehe.. cant stand the stock setting panel.hehe
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
Sony nexus FTW! I heard nexus devices usually doesn't have any bugs needed to be corrected when cm team builds an aosp version. I'm excited of this fact. Imagine a world where every nightly can be your daily driver! Haha.

Lol. Mine is the opposite of what you have done. I was a rootbox user before (Nico's unofficial builds), then recently jumped to slim bean to try android 4.3. To my surprise it is actually faster and is my daily driver now. Pokemon black is riddled with lags actually in rootbox (4.2.2) while in slim bean (4.3) I can run it 100%!
[Galaxy S II General] Gutslit:
4.2.2 is still much stable for me than 4.3 hehe,but who knows 4.3 roms stil in dvelopment let see when the time comes.hehe

Anyway im waiting for 4.3 of rootbox.

[Galaxy S II General] madbunnyXD:
Halp please. :( I know I'm a newb but I would certainly appreciate a bit of help. I upgraded my phone to CM 10.1 RC1 from the settings of the phone and after that, my signal went kaput. Someone told me it's a radio thing and I researched about that. >.> Was just randomly trying stuff until something works (it's dumb but I was on zombie mode.. okay that's a dumb justification too) but it's not working. I already did factory reset, upgraded even to 10.2 hoping it will magically fix itself and then I tried using these (me http siya before >.>) d-h.st/users/ApriliaM3/?fld_id=7487#files, again, not working. I'm almost at the end of my patience and would try a random approach to this so before I have it mebbe returned to stock or something, I'm posting here instead. >.> patulong please?
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
I have read somewhere that you should not use samsung ril modems to CM based roms. Just use what was supplied in the rom. Have you tried clean wiping then flash again cm 10.2?
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
perhaps this may help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1881304

also, check if your apn settings are correct.
[Galaxy S II General] madbunnyXD:
How do I go about clean wiping then flashing to cm 10.2? >.> Sorry for being a noob. It's just there's sooo much information here, I do get overwhelmed. The terms get pretty technical too. <.< Does flash mean install zip from the volume up power and home step? I don't know exactly what clean wiping entails. Does it remove all data on my phone? I might be able to live with that, I have already backed up Pou and 2Fuse, I just need to know what I need to do. xD
[Galaxy S II General] cyberlion17:
Lol look at spankymo's link.

"These Modem/RIL files have been extracted from official Samsung firmwares. Do not attempt to flash Modem/RIL files onto CM/AOSP/AOKP based ROMs as results cannot be guaranteed. You may end up with no network or baseband if you flash on anything other than Samsung based ROMs, so do so at your own risk!!!!"

Basically I think this is what happened to you. Here's how to clean wipe. I am assuming that you have cwm recovery right? So go into your phone's recovery menu. This can be done by turning off your phone then turning it on while holding the volume up button and home button. You will now enter recovery mode. To navigate in the recovery mode use volume up to go up, volume down to go down and power button as enter. Basically just wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe data and format system. Take note, wiping data and formatting system would mean that your apps and data will be gone (don't worry however since your pictures, files and videos will still be in your sd card, just your apps and data will go away). One way to back-up your apps is to use the titanium backup app. :D Now that that is done, flash the zip file of your selected cm based rom. :) Restart the phone, boot it up then restore your backed up apps :)

Update me if you've got your signal back.
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
lol you're right! I forgot about that samsung- vs other- based rom compatibility issue. anyway, I guess the method you provided should work fine.
[Galaxy S II General] madbunnyXD:
I did that but it's still showing no signal. also when I do Search networks, it says error while searching for networks. I think my issue happened before messing with the modem/ril thingy. My version is CM 10.2-20130904-nightly-i9100, but the issue started when I got 10.1 RC1.

EDIT: I just saw there's an 05 version. I'll try again with that.

UPDATE: I did what you said using the newest nightly and when I restarted it, the signal came back. It's odd though because I cannot check my load (dialing 221 or something). So I restarted my device and then the signal was out again :<

After flashing root it,

Assuming you used a custom kernel to gain root and have cwm(i used dorimanx,jeboo kernel)

Go to recovery make a full wipe,

Wipe data fctory reset

Format system

Flash 4.2 or 4.3 zip

Wipe cache,dalvic cache

Reboot.

Well I guess I'll just save my accessory money to my nexus money. :P

Madbunny. I don't know how that didn't work. It's supposed to start your phone again from clean slate. Hmmmmm. I guess you should just go back to samsung touchwiz roms i guess. See if that actually works out for you. At least you can use spankymo's link here to change your RIL.

Hi You Guys!

Hi! New S2 Pinoy User here! :D

When I first got this phone (practically Yesterday), I got so excited to Root it and Flash New ROMs.

I succeededly Rooted mine, which is 4.0.3 (the easy flashing process). And now, I'm at lost. :eek:

I want to try the NeatROM, but I'm quite confused if I have to use Siyah or DorimanX. And I'm also confused on how to flash those Kernels, since I'm pretty new to Odin.

Or do I have to flash the Stock JB 4.1.2 first? Then flash those Kernels?

Can somebody helpfully link me those steps? That would be astig! :D
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
since you've already rooted it, I assume you already have a custom recovery, i.e. CWM. you can flash those files via that-- save the zip files to your sdcard (or preferrably the external sdcard), boot to recovery, then flash the files one by one. just follow the flashing instructions of your chosen rom (usually it's factory reset, wipe caches, format the system partition, flash rom, flash kernel).
[Galaxy S II General] souler456:
Uhm.. The matter of fact is NO, I don't have a CWM, yet. Just Root. If you might wonder why, I made the procedure of Rooting here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719

Now, the next step, which is flashing Custom Kernels with Custom Recovery, is still Unknown to me. Can you give links, tol? :eek:

Salamat dre! :)
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
I see. then check out Philz kernel. I think flashing it via odin also installs a custom recovery. read up on the subject a bit as I'm not too sure about this. I also can't recall how I did it on my phone.
[Galaxy S II General] souler456:
Oh okay. Thanks!

So, here's the steps I planned based on my S2 Guide Surfing:

1. Root my ICS (Done)

2. Flash Stock JB Official Firmware via Odin XWMS1? XWMS2? or XWLSW?

Questions Regarding This Step:

A. Do I have to backup my /efs folder from ICS here?

B. Do I have to Wipe Data/Factory Reset + Wipe Cache BEFORE/AFTER flashing the JB Firmware?

3. Flash Siyah? or DorimanX? Kernel via Odin

Questions Regarding This Step:

A. Can I run these kernels on my Stock JB ROM (if succeededly flashed)?

B. If I do a backup on Siyah via its CWM, and changed to DorimanX, then noticed that the kernel's not my type, can I restore my backup from Siyah's to DorimanX's CWM? Or does the both kernel have the same CWM?

4. Flash NeatROM via Custom CWM

Questions Regarding This Step:

A. If I flashed NeatROM (which I saw that it has it's own kernel), will it be overwritten my Siyah/DorimanX kernel? Or they will still be there?

Gets mo dre? Haha :D
[Galaxy S II General] darkluna:
1. Flash stock rom

2. Flash custom recovery (cwm, Phil or twrp)

3. Flash neatrom via custom recovery of your choice.

4. Flash custom kernel

And yes it will overwrite neatrom kernel.

It's for the version 2 efs or for the 4.3JB. If your using 4.2.2 then it will not work.

Patulong naman po..I have Samsung Galaxy S2 and having issue with the phone calls after rooting it. Nagcoconnect ung call, sometimes wala naman problema pero madalas, kahit during dialling palang, nagrorobotic na ung background sound and same thing happens pag may kausap ka na. Tried numerous stock ROMs but issue remains the same.

[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
first of all, please post in English lest we be reprimanded by the forum moderators.

can you provide the radio/modem that you are using? have you tried switching modems? what ROM and kernel are you using? have you tried doing a factory reset?

[Galaxy S II General] trekker04:
My apologies. Thought the thread was solely for pinoys anyways :) . Moving forward...

Baseband/Radio/Modem = MS4

ROM = NeatRom 5.6

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-1484249 dpi@DELL177 #3. SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 3 20:24:29. KST 2013 (i guess it came with the ROM)

That's a good suggestion. I just realized that i am also losing signal in areas that a basic phone has no issues at all. Will flash KH3

That's sad mate

How did it happened?

Anyway, someone posted before asking for jtag, I think he went to Greenhills and got it fixed.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
I think I did a wipe in recovery using a kitkat ROM, after that it wouldn't boot and wasn't being detected by my PC through USB. Went to a tech in St Francis and they told me I need JTAG to revive my phone and also recommended I go to Greenhills.

I just hope they can do it in one day as I don't really want to leave my phone with them for more than a day. Plus greenhills is a long way from home, I'd want to go there and get it fixed in one day. It would be troublesome if I had to make repeated trips.
[Galaxy S II General] spankymo:
does it still boot to download mode or recovery? try holding volume down + power + menu buttons and see if it'll boot to download mode. if it does, you can use Odin to flash a working ROM on it.

another option is to hold volume up + power + menu buttons to boot to recovery. from there, you can restore your previous backups (if any), flash a working ROM (if you have it on your sdcard), or mount the USB partition so that your pc can detect it.

if it won't boot at all, then maybe jtag is your last resort.
[Galaxy S II General] Xaeons:
Yup, I already did those steps, it wasn't responding, even to ODIN. I even took out the battery and did a soft/hard reset. I was watching the tech take out the motherboard and clean up the connectors that connect the USB port to the circuit board to the battery, but I already tested it with a multimeter at home and it was all working fine, except it really won't boot. I also borrowed batteries from other SGS2 owners I know. Nothing..

Thing is, this unit came from Japan. The owner didn't want to fork out cash to unlock the SIM and the unit was very battered (with scratches at the back and some cracks at the side) so I bought it cheap (Php2k). I unlocked it for free, thanks to the XDA community, and had a blast with it.

Now, even though I have a nexus 4, I still want to use this unit. It's a very solid piece of technology and I hate to see it waste away. Maybe I'll fork out the Php1.5k to JTAG it. Online it would cost approximately 1.8k-2k, plus I'd have to send the unit overseas.
[Galaxy S II General] evildave_666:
Do you know what kernel you were using with the recovery you wiped with? There might be the possibility that you superbricked the emmc and a jtag repair attempt would just be wasted money if that's the case.
