As far as I know, all links in my guides and the Download Repository are working. See links in my signature. You should be able to find whatever you decide to use.

The UCKH7 and UCKK6 modems are different. Either one will work with both UCKH7 and UCKK6 systems. The modems are in the Download Repository as well.

If you flash anything containing the stock kernel, whether UCKH7 or UCKK6, you will not increment the flash counter. The only thing that increments the flash counter is flashing a custom kernel with Odin or Heimdall.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Krysten17:
Excellent. Got the package and the modem through your download repository! For the UCKH7 package I noticed you say to flash package and modem separately in PDA. I was going to flash package in PDA and modem in PHONE so I'm glad you directed me here...Should I flash separately with the UCKK6 package/modem in PDA or simultaneously in PDA+PHONE? And good to know about the flash counter. Thank you so much for the help. I mean that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Firmware and modem are both flashed in the PDA slot. Flash separately. You can flash both at the same time if they are packaged into the same tar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gokartracer5:
Got the KK6 tar from your download repository. If I use ODIN to flash this, do I need to flash the KK6 modem too? Will this allow me to avoid a factory reset/wipe?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Look in settings | about phone to see what you baseband version is currently, as that is the modem. If you already have I777UCKK6, then no point in flashing it again. You can use whatever modem works best for you in your area.

If you're on UCKK6 and you flash UCKK6, you should be fine without a wipe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gokartracer5:
Makes sense, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Hey guys, i am NEw and confused just like that first guy who posted this, but i am getting hang of it too now.

so ya i got sgs2 running on 2.3.6 with this uckk6 kernal what should i download so i can get this rooted started up? i know the steps once i get all the RIGHT files download, just need someone to get me RIGHT method

thanks!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Krysten17:
Here is what I did...Im not sure if I did everything right but it worked. I have the at&t sg2 I777 build UCKK6.

- download odin v1.85, UCKK6 system package, and modem.bin from creepyncrawlys download repository.

- extract UCKK6 to a .tar file.

- run odin

- turn on USB debugging on gs2 ( not sure if this was necessary but i did it ) then power down phone.

- connect your turned off phone via usb cable

- hold down volume up and volume down keys until screen comes on

- press volume up to select/enter download mode

- odin status will go from green to yellow

- load .tar into PDA slot

- press start/go/whatever

- phone will reboot. some recovery screen came up and i selected reboot..

then i repeated these steps to flash UCKK6 modem.bin in same PDA slot. not sure if i had to do that or not but I did and I have root and phone works great!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jgc731:
after flashing the UCKK6 system package, do i still need to flash the modem for UCKK6.

i haven't started yet, but right now it reads baseband version i777uckk6

if i need to, where can i find the modem.bin file for UCKK6?

Hello everyone, Im noob at this obviously and i really need some tech support :(... i did read some info, I got my att s2 a week ago, i tried to installed the nightly ICS rom and i could connect to wifi or internet at all, tried with CM7, same problem. I gave up and just restore my backup. After that, everything normal but now I cant make any calls, or listen to the dial, anything. I think it is because of the baseband version... Ill put here my info: Its been rooted

Android version: 2.3.4

baseband: I9100XXLPH

kernel version: 2.6.35.7_ZedomaxStockKernel

Gingerbread.UCKH7

I figured out that I cant have that baseband for my i777, but I dont know how to get things back, Im desperated. please help!!!!! :(. Should I install the firmware from sammobile? I downloaded my firmware, tried to installed thru CWM but it said aborted, dunno what to do!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasond816:
If your rooted then I am assuming you know how to work Odin and I would just do a search on here or google for the right modem and flash with Odin.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bruno2352:
Yes , I used once Odin, please I just want my phone to be back to calls and stuff :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasond816:
Go here. Then find the proper modem for the version of android you are on and you can use Odin to flash. Good luck and please use the search function. :)

ohhh so If i have gingerbread uckh7, i have to get this modem: i777 UCKH7 Modem_CWM? DOesnt matter if I have the I9100XXLPH baseband??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasond816:
I. Believe when you flash the modem it will change the baseband.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] F1reEng1neRed:
The baseband is the modem. You are on gingerbread, so flash any of the gingerbread modems in the area I mentioned.

Holy crap! What is so terrible with the stock ROM that you couldn't even go a week with it before having to flash something? What the hell is wrong with people?:confused:

Lol. Glad to hear you phone is up and running properly again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lostcausenjtown:
Had a similar problem. I had to flash el26 kernel with cwm recovery. From there I wiped everything like 10 times. I then flashed el29 deodex and let it settle for like an hour. From within that rom. I cleared internal storage and wiped my sd card. I odined el29 stock rooted. Used the one-click to install recovery and have since been ok.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
You made another post and just like the other thread you are bricked and there is no fix.....your reading comprehension must be horrible because this is the same as 15 other threads....thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
He can type like a mofo though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Wow...what an attitude right out the gate. I read profanity isn't allowed; can I use the word.....d*ck? I hope your posts and actions aren't representative of other senior members...

First off...this was literally the first post I've ever posted here, after registering just this evening...hence why you see today's date for my join-date and the words "good evening". So no...I haven't ever posted anything here.

And...as I said in my post, many other's have mentioned similar symptoms, and similar fixes, but one or two at a time scattered in many different posts, yet all the same issues and fixes for the same main root cause, whereas here is a summation of all.

I know you probably feel a bit god-like on this site senior member....but let the noob...who's not really a noob in that whole reading and writing English thing, give you the memo that the "horrible reading comprehension" is all yours bro...on pretty much literally everything you said in your post.

It's pretty sad, because I would certainly expect some harmless noob flac and/or joking, but not a typical ****-post (especially from a senior member) I sometimes see on XDA from time to time, that- instead of advancing a solution to the issue, creates a back-and-forth reply-session for pages at a time, simply junking up a post, wasting peoples time.

That being said, if you'd like to re-read my post, notice that I've tried pretty much everything you remarked about in all those other posts, and offer a positive contribution to the discussion, it would be appreciated. If not, another smart-alec reply would be expected. To be honest, I'd rather have the surprise of a quality answer. It's always cool in life when you think bad of someone, and they surprise you.

If there is another experienced senior member that has some input, that would be appreciated too.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Thanks for the compliment man. I taught English for a while, so I would hope I had that whole writing thing down. But I've heard from some that my reading comprehension is actually quite crappy...lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tkemack:
Honestly I think you're pretty much screwed. I think the post you're looking for is titled something like "help! Stuck in data.img"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Thanks for link sir! Unfortunately, did read that blow-by-blow as sfhub tried to help dude. I did Odin that original tar file sfhub mentioned, but it's just straight Rogue recovery. I mean, it helped, because it was a workable recovery that let me finally flash Cyanogenmod 7, and get to a bootable rom.

I did Odin EL29, and like that post, it skipped over data. When I Odin'ed stock unrooted md5, it did the same thing.

The unfortunate part, is that I am fully capable of booting into a working rom, but because my data or data partition is damaged, I am crippled. Since getting my Evo over 3 years ago, and reading about the amazing programmer feats in Android on this site and others, it's unfortunate there is no program or ability to reformat or repartition from here.

One area that I have NOT seen on XDA regarding this issue- a readme doc for Heimdall regarding this issue (it says earlier in the page that it works for all Samsung firmware) says:

Flashing Firmware from Command Prompt:

1. Fully charge your phone (use the wall charger as it's faster).

2. Download a decrypted Samsung Galaxy S ROM and extract it to a directory.

3. If the ROM is provided as one of more archives (nested or otherwise),

extract them all to the same location.

NOTE: If you want to use the CSC then extract it last.

4. Put your Galaxy S device into download mode and plug it in..

5. Open command prompt and navigate to the directory where you extracted the

ROM files.

6. Type the following to list all the functionality Heimdall supports:

heimdall help

7. Use the instructions to manually enter a command with all the files you

want to flash.

Here is an example that does a full flash and repartition:

heimdall flash --repartition --pit s1_odin_20100512.pit --factoryfs factoryfs.rfs --cache cache.rfs --dbdata dbdata.rfs --primary-boot boot.bin --secondary-boot Sbl.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage --modem modem.bin

8. Done

I don't know if this avenue is worth a try. What does someone else think?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
I would like to thank you...I now see what is wrong with this country when you have people who can't read and understand that are teaching our children no wonder this country is going down the tubes.. There are only 10 + threads on here with this in them but you still think your special and your problem is so different from the others. Your data partition is screwed and you should be mad at yourself for not reading and understanding this phone before flashing . There is no fix when it hosed your partition is permanent but you don't listen to the numerous people telling you this that is why he told you jtag won't work that is the lowest level of chip programming there is no fixing it with heimdal or Odin . Sleep well tonight and take it to Sprint and cry to them They may replace it for you otherwise craigslist has them for like 300

And don't use ROM manager how many times does it have to be said... Ooh that's right you probably won't read this anyways

These folks arent being jerks. If you spent half of the time reading before the fact as you did typing after the fact then you would have a functioning device...

Buy insurance, run over your phone, and pay the 100 bucks. Then remain stock.

There are tons of threads that explain everything. Your initial post makes it very clear that you went in blind and borked your phone.

Good luck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Why are you wasting your time on this thread? "Ya screwed Bra'h" that's your solution? Firstly, everyone of those "10+ threads" you mention have knowledgeable people giving quality positive suggestions on issues, stark contrast to your style there senior one.

Secondly, I didn't look up rom on google one day and start downloading. I've had several phones I've been rooting and using custom roms for years. I didn't know CWM Touch was sketchy. I didn't know doing a nandroid restore with FC22 with an issue with a kernel could f'up my data. Do you know why I didn't know these things? Because I don't spend every freakin day on forums buddy.

And for the third time- I wrote what I did at the top of my post because of exactly what you are talking about. I looked at those 10+ threads. I looked at more threads than that...for the last 3 freakin days, and better part of a good weekend. I would look at one post and find a solution, only to read 5 pages down, that it didn't work. So let me pose a pretty stupid question: why the 'f would I "want" to do that? Why would I want to spend all that time digging?

But ya know what, after doing all that digging, what I realized is that many if not most people were having issues that mostly stemmed from the same larger root cause. And they were all trying all these things (with little success), randomly strewn among "10+" 20, maybe 30-page threads- who wants to have to make sense all that?

Instead, I put up a post that simply explained root cause, the many symptoms, and the laundry list of fix it methods and their success. I did this for 2 reasons Mr. Epix. One, to obviously find help for my situation, but just as important, to contribute (as positively, ie. to "add" something) in addressing the issue.

I mean, is it that hard? I wrote it, because it would have been a hell of a lot better had I myself stumbled across one or two core posts that listed everything and anything, so I didn't have to spend days digging through dozens of posts and hundreds of pages- it is still somewhat suprising how you don't get it, when you are making my point for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] barnacles10:
Unfortunately it doesn't look good. At least you posted here and not in development. I clearly see acknowledgments of these other threads in the OP so that would mean you at least did your searching before posting, so meh. :cool:

Sadly there seems to be an issue with injecting recoveries into these ics kernels and doing work with them which result in possible non friendly outcomes. I don't have a fix, unfortunately, and its general knowledge that there isn't one atm (nothing implied just stating fact)

I can give advice for the future. Make sure to do your reading before attempting such things. See what others are reporting. And imo stay away from cwm. It can't do anything you're not capable of doing on your own :)

Edit: the "in depth" fix that you mention I believe involves repartitioning the device. I haven't encountered this issue myself so havent attempted such but I do remember talk about repartitioning the device based on stock config to fix the borked data partition. I wish I had a link but I don't. You might br able to dig it up on xda.

If I come across it ill share. :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Maybe it's the whole "sent from my sph-d710" thing, that your not getting the full context and content on a 4.3" screen.

I made it fully...fuullly clear, that as a part of posting responsibly here, that I researched the hell out of this issue. The list of almost a dozen things I tried to fix it, that I found among more than a dozen threads I looked at...if you know anything about this issue at all- should be pretty obvious that I looked at that content and tried those fixes.

This was the very first thing I noted in my post and made it retardedly clear. So if you missed it the first time, now you know- so why are you offering input here, when you have nothing to add?

It's a shame why some feel this thread needs junked up with talking smack.

Are there any quality knowledgeable members that have some positive suggestions on other avenues in this set of circumstances?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Thanks for the info- it has been a learning experience to say the least. I guess I didn't look, because I wasn't looking for that in particular. My friend let me know there was real progress on a good stock ICS for our phones- so I looked it up- and easily found all the files and versions, and page after page of people posting how bomb it was. Of course, I read all the "I'm not responsible for bricking your phone" quotes, but that's been on every page for years.

But from now on, I will definitely do some research on the dirty side of any new big changes on configs. So, I fully understand, stay away from all cwm? or just touch? what should I use place?

and general knowledge of one atm?- (acronym?)

Thanks again for the info
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
The reason people are grumpy and give attitude on this subject, is because we have to read this subject about every other day, and it's all the exact same thing.

No, there is no fix because flashing through CWM/touch ICS recoveries will BRICK YOU PHONE. No fix, no pass go, no 200 dollars, YOU ARE BRICKED.

I say you are bricked even though there is one solution (that's untested I believe) that involves a deep DEEP level partition of your internal drive to not include the /data/ partition that is now physically f'd up because of wiping through an ICS recovery. No one I believe has tried it, and as far as I know, no one really wants to take the time to try it or even has the ability to do it. Basically, it's not an option.

We are tired of seeing this issue every other day. Yes we know you want to be able to fix it, but we know of no one that can, and we do not like having to state multiple times in the same thread that you are bricked, and have it be refuted by the one asking for help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Um, wow interesting thread. I see several people actually trying to help however.

Have you tried a different cable btw? The OEM cable is pretty horrible. I didn't see it mentioned throughout the troubleshooting process.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Yes sir, I did try that as well. And I do appreciate the people trying to help, in spite of the odds.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AddamsonFlint:
Borkan, I totally understand what you're saying- I get why it could get frustrating. I've read a lot of similar posts too that mention the same or similar things over and over. Often times however, what I find in some of these post is-

- someone asking for help for one particular symptom that has rendered their phone inoperable, but aren't aware it's part of a larger issue, and all the discussion around it.

- then, several people...trying to help, chime in "well, did you do this? What about this" for post after post.

So, like I mentioned in an earlier reply- instead of making a post like those other 10 like posts, I tried to give a respectable effort at differentiating my post- because I get the frustration of seeing the same stupid questions.

Instead of asking noob-like, "Hey, I flashed ICS and now I'm hosed, what do I do?" I said, "ok...I know what's wrong, what happened, how I did it. Here's everything I tried from 100's of pages of threads, but still stuck- any new ideas?"

I mean...I've read some pretty dumb posts, poorly explained, stupid questions, that would make someone want to pull their hair out, because the person isn't making it any easier to help them. I wrote what I thought was a decently thorough post, to make it as easy as I could for someone to help me- and I would have hoped such respectable efforts would at least earn a few quality contributions- and surprised to get the same haterade as if I wrote a really poor/stupid post that wasn't quality in anyway.

Had I not been able to get anything to load, I would thought I was pretty much out of options- but getting into one workable rom (albeit w/o data) I was hoping I had outs.

If this is as huge a problem as it sounds- I'd be curious to know why it isn't better identified at the source. I don't know where most people have been going but I went right to:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1494847

I scrolled down a few pags to see if any flags came up- but instead there were just a ton of replies about how awesome it was. It would be good if there was possibly a section in or close to the original post about the issue with this.

And just to close off a criticism before it starts, I'm not talking about the blanket "I'm not responsible for you bricking your phone." That's pasted everywhere and really isn't going to help anyone's cause.

But possibly a convergence of the "how not to brick your E4GT" thread with the main ICS thread, would help fix this issue at the source and before the fact- and keep in mind- I'm not suggesting this for people who are on here posting and contributing every day. It would definitely help noobs who've just bought their phone and never flashed anything before.

But it would also help "intermediates" like myself, to be cautioned about it. I mean...I flashed back and forth from Froyo to GB, different roms, used cwm, for years without issue- this was somewhat of a curve ball for me.

Anyways, that's my thoughts. I understand now that, short of ridiculously complicated work way above my skill set, I am pretty much out of options.

Thanks to all that tried to help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
I'm glad you went about it that way, was the most informed thread for this type of bricking I've seen by far.

I really wish we had a fix but I don't think that'll happen until we have a better ICS kernel. The only one we have to work with right now is just the Stock ICS kernel, we don't have any customized ones yet because they have yet to release the source for it, so we haven't been able to use any others besides the stock, or a GB kernel for it. That's where the problem comes in because those are not meant to wipe data or factory reset when on an ICS bootloader. (At least this is what I've gathered from everything, I've luckily only read about it, not had to experience it myself)
