Thanks for all the help and advice so far....

I came from far when the phone was bricked and got it back from the jtag shop who did a terrible job I think.

I rooted the phone with Tegrak-Kernel-Build-33-for-SHV-E120L-FB05.

Everything works now except that I can't connect to a mobile network and make calls.

Every firmware I try to flash with Odin, stops with an error when it tries to flash the amss.bin file. (Complete (Write) operation failed).

So I can't upgrade the baseband.

I think something is wrong with the radio/baseband (amss.bin - efs - nv_data.bin - ...).

Since the phone is rooted I can access the filesystem via adb shell.

Is there a way to manually upload the baseband or delete some files to allow flashing via odin or copy files from another phone?

I'm realy wondering if this phone will ever work.

What do you, experts, think I could do now?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The versions installed are:

Baseband: E120L.EL21.O843.LT

Kernel: 2.6.35.11-E120L.FB05.0938.CL939741

Build: GINGERBREEAD.FB05

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] slpjcool:
Instead of upgrading, have you tried downgrading the firmware? Try flashing the original f/w when you 1st got your phone, since I'm presuming it worked before right?

Try the EL07 rom as I think that's the 1st firmware for E120L.

E120L EL07 firmware

Good Luck.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] vdbergh:
Thanks for the tip, Slpjcool...

I'll try to flash the E120L EL07 firmware. I'm not sure that it will work since the TL1.3 and others all failed, but I have no better solution anyway. Maybe it works and then you'll be my hero :D

I'll post the outcome.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] vdbergh:
I tried to flash the E120L EL07 firmware but got an error.

Whatever firmware I try to flash with Odin, it always exits witn an error when it tries to flash the amss.bin.

Here's the log from Odin:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

I'm a noob in this, but I spend many many hours trying to solve this phone and read a lot about it. I don't understand too much about the technical details, but my conclusion is that there is something terribly wrong with the efs - baseband - radio - nv_data files part of the software.:eek:

I don't understand why I can not overwrite the corrupted files or settings in my phone by flashing a good firmware.

Should I delete certain files or take them from another phone or what else can I do to repair this?

I am realy sad that I was so stupid to start flashing a 1 day old phone without knowing what I was doing, and now 2 months later the phone still doesn't work. The only hope I have is that some genious on this forum would be so friendly to help me, because now I dont know what to do anymore.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] slpjcool:
I'm sorry it didn't work out. Try finding modem files within the chinese forum sites. They might have a modem for the e120l. I just don't know.

And trust me, you're not the only one that was stupid enough to mess around with ROMs when you didn't know what was going on.

When I had my e120s for the 1st time, I was messing around with flashing ROMs, stupidly thinking that the S2 ROMs would work on the e120s. Ended up Hard bricking my phone. Luckily I bought the phone in S.Korea so they were gratefully willing to fix the phone up for my free of charge. Since then I've sold the phone becos' of the limited roms. I'm now a very happy G.Note user ; )

Amazing phone

I'm going to buy that phone but seem like there's no information abt this phone. It'll be better to get a forum or sector for that phone. I don't wanna buy a phone with out custom roms, kernels or fixes!
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Robotu:
For all of you: SMS problem solved

Hi guys! This is my first post on XDA thoug i have been use it a lot the geeks experience from XDA, but this time i decided to help cause is very important. I own E120L and i've been played around with stock and custom roms. With TL1.3 the SMS problem is completley solved, and i say totaly. First if you want to use the stock SMS you will be able to sand 3 SMS (3 times 160 chars) but you have to set the input mode on Automat or GSM Alphabet, never Unicode cause will give you just the fifth of that.

This is one thing that one guy from here noticed already.

Second TL roms comes with a built in SMS app Youni SMS wich let you write and send 500 char (a bit more then 3 SMS).

But in the end, and most important, TL roms (1.1, 1.2, 1.3) comes with another built in app wich let you write and send as many chars as you want, i have test it with 14-15 SMS, than i stopped. I posted a picture with this app, cause i dont know its name..., cause is in chinese, but you do not need much instructions to use it, just a litle bit of intuition.

So the SMS problem dissapered, what bothers me from the beginning is an other problem more upsesing, this phone is the best, at least in my country (Romania) i do not see any issues with my networks, data speed is normal for my network (6-7-8-9 mb dl with 1-3,5 ul) voice qulity is the best, clear and loud, same with music playing.... every thing is more than expect it, however my problem i have not seen discused nowhere, non of you have seen it or experimented.

This phone is the next generation phone style built and that is why it dose not know very well to handle 2G networks or 2G coverage, it dose stick in 3G/HSDPA/HSUPA/HSP+...... far away better than any other phone, even than his twin brother, i9100, but when it comes of 2G netorks or coverage, it still stays in busines but way worse than any other phone i have ever touched or heard of. This is not the end of the world but still bothers me, cause when you are to far from a town or you are driving a lot throgh the entire country this is a little problem that you have to handle.

In rest, carefull what ever "bloatware" you think you do not need cause this is not an usual phone with usual rom and entirely in english and you might uninstal a tiny system app and after that FC, freeze, signal drops.....
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] rxulan:
Robotu, well, the fact that TL solves SMS issues is obvious as it stated here for example ;)

If you have some problems with 3G/calls, you can try to flash modem part from the newer firmware via Odin. Personally, I've flashed FD03 modem part from the latest for today FD07 firmware, and things went much better than with previous FA27 version (much better call quality, no signal drops, etc).
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Robotu:
Thank you rxulan!

Yes, SMS problems solved, but nobody told as exactly how is that...

I do not have any problems with 3G, and video call do not care about. However is good to know for me so please tell me how and where ca i found FD03 cause i did not even know of it. I have FD07, but this one i just took it from Temp folder in Windows after Kies download it, but never heard of FD03.

And please tell me another thing, how can i flash just the modem part from a rom?

Thank you?
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] rxulan:
FD03 is a phone module version, which is a part of FD07 firmware.

To get it in your device without having to flash the whole FD07 firmware, you can flash only amss.bin and mdm.bin. For example, make a copy of FD07 tar archive, then delete from it all files but amss.bin and mdm.bin. After that you can flash this tar (with just those 2 files in it) with Odin like any other firmware, using PDA field.

Please note that after this you won't be able to get new firmware information and/or update firmware via Kies because of incompatible Hidswver value. You can do it (find and download newest firmware) using Check Fus Downloader though ;)
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Robotu:
Very interesting and tricky! Now i use TL1.3 and is good so far, and the best i tried, but is good to know what this trick if i ever have some troble with any other phone.

Thanks!

If any of you know some trick of how this phone can stay tide stick in 2G coverage please let as know. However i think this is a hardware limitation cause is having the same behavior with every rom i tried, but still... They built it for the Korean networks, where probably they do not have anmore 2G and is not a priority anymore, i guess...

SHV-E120L Latest Stock Rom
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] rxulan:
It's said "Samsung is now officially rolling out its long-awaited Android update [skip] today and continuing throughout the rest of the quarter."

So, just waiting when S II HD LTE gets its turn :cool:
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] theanh6:
S II HD LTE will be available in Bell network Canada tomorrow, 3-May. The hardware are similar but the it not have the home button like korean version. Hope we can use it's ROM for our device.

Detail here:

http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Samsung_Galaxy_S_2_HD_LTE
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] rxulan:
Modem part is, probably, different. Bell's version is advertised to operate HSPA/UMTS at 850/1700/1900/2100 MHz, which can be incompatible with E120L/S (afaik, it's 850/900 MHz for S and 800/850 MHz for L).
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] slpjcool:
This is LTE only, NOT HD LTE.

Main difference is the screen. LTE will only have 4.5' screen with 480x800 res.

Whereas HD LTE have a 4.65' screen with 720x1280 res.

Honestly speaking, I do not think HD lte will roll out internationally. It's too late. S3 is announcing today and the specs are better. I do not see anyone want HD lte over the S3.

My advice if you want custom ROMs, sell the phone once s3 comes out.

I had my e120s for about 4 months before selling it. Just too restricted with limited ROMs. I'm now a very Happy Note user. :D
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Robotu:
It has the same specs

slpjcool, whether roms will be compatible or not..., well that we will see, BUT IT HAS THE SAME SPECS, except maibe the modem (radio), it has the same display, resolution, dimension, visual aspect (at least in the front) and maibe even the chasis. You would better inform before scare the people...!!!! Check the link to the phone and read the specs!

I think is our phone for canadian market. And even S3 will roll out, this does not mean they will stop launching S2, at all. Try and remember how late some market and global areas received S2, and if the same politic is aplied, some market will receive S3 in late 2013, that is why is time to still launch other versions of S2, like it just happen with this HD LTE S2 in canada...

Just because you sell your phone does not meen you do not have to be pragmatic, logic and objectiv!!! :(:(
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] cbr150r:
I personally do love my SII HD LTE as it's thin, light, fast enough and HD screen.

Firmware is not a problem as I'm not a programmer. Currently I'm using TL1.2 with battery life > 1 days if using 2.5G network and email.

S3 will come with the price > 1.5x HD LTE with only the difference in CPU/GPU that you never/seldom need and of course little in design.

All will be upgradable to ICS, sooner or later. but you can see the ICS for S2, the different is very slight when comparing to Gingerbread

Jelly bean is not an exception, it is just your feeling that newer is better. Again, better is true, but very little
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] slpjcool:
Alright, my bad. I must've clicked the wrong link.

But if you read my post carefully, I stated that 'IF YOU WANT CUSTOM ROMs', sell the e120s. Otherwise it's a great phone. I've used it for nearly 1/2 year as well. No dizzing at all. :)

It's just that you do not have the flexibility of a variety of ROMs when you compare with other phones. Always stuck with Samsung ROMs, no ICS (yet), no AOKP, no AOSP, no Cyanogenmod, no MIUI, lack of Kernels, etc etc. It's just not fun. Not a true XDA experience if you ask me. Cos' once you've experienced all those ROM's, you wouldn't want to go back. Well at least I'm certainly not. :cool:
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Robotu:
I am selling mine too...!!!

Yes slpjcool, i understand what you meen! I am selling mine tomorow! It has many limitations that you have to struggle with, and well... i have done that and i put a very hard work and finaly accepted cause it was a very good powerhorse in the end. But i can not accept its limitations with 2G coverage, it does know 2G but very bad and that i do not want to know. I allways use 2 devices, one for voice communications and the other one only for internet trafic witch can be used for mobile internet in the phone itself, but also by tethering to my laptop wherever i am, and also for any other needs i have for internet connection, and this second device i am puting a SIM from the modem provider give you that is only for mobile data (now with 18 GB traffic), and that scenario helped me through time. But the voice device have to be allways in 2G for better coverage and no interuption, cause i travel a lot, who ever call me can find me and can communicate with me without any issues, and the inernet device is allways in 3G state for the best speed allways.

Right now i am using white GAlaxy Note for internet and i tried to use this stupid phone for voice, but i tried too much, much too much, to many times people can not here me or find me "online". And would be ridiculous to switch this 2 devices, and anyway i do not want that. So tomorow i am selling and go back to my Desire HD till S3.

And sorry for my attitude!:)

Could anyone help me

We are having E120S SII HD LTE

Almost everything is working fine except calls

We have sound glitching while talking to someone the person my friend is calling hears everything fine but sound in E120S is like chokes off.

He is on Teamleader 1.3

Could anyone help us solve that issue?
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] slpjcool:
What network bandwidth are you using?

Have you tried using a different ROM like TeamLeader?

If so, then it might be a hardware problem.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Le()nid:
We are on Russian MTS or Megafon (I don't know actual their bandwidth)

Also I didn't find how to use only 2G networks (there is usually a switch in wireless networks on Androids but I don't see it on E120S) just to make sure it is not a 3G issue in Russia
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Le()nid:

[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] LoafingNick:
i'm new here. Gonna ask a question about the LTE network for E120L/S/K

Is there any solution to make E120L/S/K support LTE 2600Mhz in HK?

I googled around and someone said flashing a different radio may work

So is it possible to extract the radio from current Galaxy SII LTE and apply it to E120L?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] slpjcool:
If you have E120L (LTE800) then chances are you'll not get service in HK,

since nearly all 4G networks in HK will run under 2600Mhz.

The E120S does have LTE2600 but I'm not sure if it'll run 4G in HK. At least no one here have tried it.

Flashing Modems will not help, because there is NO WAY you can change the bandwidth of your modem, it's a hardware issue, not software. Why do you think Samsung have 3 different variations (S/L/K) of the same phone? So that they can accept different bandwidths.

And honestly, I wouldn't even think about flashing modems from a different phone (or anything else for that matter). It's just too dangerous. Think about your new phone being HARD-BRICKED! Surely u wouldn't want that to happen.

That's my 2 cents anyway.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Have you tried installing 2G/3G toggle apps on the play store? Maybe that will help. I'm not too sure.

From my memory when I had my e120s, you can disable data, but there's no way of switching from 3G to 2G. Stock rom anyways. Not too sure about TL roms.
[Galaxy S II HD LTE Android Development] Le()nid:
Is there any list of radios for E120S

As I see stock roms updates regulary (that FC24 FD12 FD24 stuff on firmwares)

Is there any possibility to cut of radioflashes out of them

So we'll be able to check if it's software issue not hardware.

Trouble with SII HD LTE (SHV-e120L)

Hi guys, need help here

I live in Indonesia and recently I bought a used SGS2 HD LTE (SHV e120L) from Korea, and Im using an Indonesian provider SIM Card. The phone is listed in LG U+ from Korea.

My situation :

1. Phone calls and texts run fine

2. Wifi connection works fine

3. No internet connection at all

I ran into Samsung Service in my city but they have no answers whatsoever for my situation. I suspect the phone is locked by the former provider, but I read in the internet that we can unlock phones using codes. Problem is, I cant seem to find the IMEI number on this model. Under the battery is only the S/N code, while on the box it says no IMEI number. I tried typing *#06# and it says "connection problem or invalid MMI code". I also tried *#*#4636#*#* and same results.

Now Im kinda stuck on what else to do, because I think Ive tried the alternatives I can think of.

Help anyone..?
