[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate it.

This whole fiasco was a great learning for me. Lost imei and baseband on my way and recovered them too. And looks like it will end in me performing a DIY on my phone. :)

For now the signals are stable for more than 12 hours which is like the most I have seen since 3 days. I will see if I can utilize your guide this weekend.

Thanks again for your help and time.

Can loosing imei/baseband be the cause of loosing connectivity?

EDIT 1: And my troubles are far from over. It still needs to be switched to aeroplane mode and switch it off to get the connectivity back or a reboot is required. The worst problem is that now the signal shows full in the status bar but with "No connectivity" or "Emergency calls only" which is even worse to handle.

Looks like it can connect to the network provider normally but cant hold the connection for long and requires a reset. Will changing USB port help in this kind of case?

EDIT 2: After a whole day of being on stock and switching the phone into aeroplane mode again and again, I thought of giving custom roms another try. On a KK ROM and on another JB ROM (4.1.2) it was a total struggle to even connect to a network. Tried various modes - wcdma, gsm, auto but nothing worked. Tried different modems too but it just ended up in making the phone really hot. Experimented so much that even when the sim was in, i got the message - "insert sim card to access network". Back to stock rom now.

I don't know whether there is any circuitry inside the speaker / antenna module that will cause issues with signal.....the fact that some people say that modifying the USB board affects signal leads me to think that there probably isn't and that it's all housed on the USB board........

And I'd advise that you back up your IMEI and EFS folder while it is intact.....before you attempt to flash anything else.....

A good app for this is ktool on the play store.......

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
Backed up everything a long time back itself when I saw myself become flash maniac. :cowboy: thanks for the advice though. :)

I checked up USB port on eBay and it is not available in my country. From US shipping and all makes it unaffordable . Will be visiting a service center today or tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
Eventually Waterboarding was the culprit. Got a call from service center today that they found waterlogging on mainboard. Getting it replaced now. :(

Heavy on pockets but still cheaper than an equally capable new phone.

Thanks keithross39 for all the help. Appreciate it. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
No problem fella......just be prepared for other issues too (might never happen.....but......)

If the water damaged the main board, other boards might have been affected too......

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
I was starting to feel relieved after knowing mainboard issue, but here you are, scaring me more :P

Alright, I will keep an eye on the day to day activities of my phone for few days once its back. I just hope it comes out alive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
Lol...just mentioning the "worst case scenario*......but on the bright side, every other board in the phone costs pocket change.......

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
Asked the service center guys and they say everything is fine with other components. Looks like they are not interested in my pocket change ;)

One last question, does changing the mainboard changes your imei number?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
An authorised service centre should be able to re write your IMEI....but under normal circumstances it will change.....

My wife says I'm a phone geek....She's probably right :):D

Hi folks

I've bought an sgs2 about an half year ago.

But unfortunately my phone hit the ground before 4 or 5 months. My display has 2-3 little cracks.

First, I don't realized that my battery was draining soo extremly, but since a few weeks I noticed it.

Display uses about 90% and more from the battery.

I'm on WizzedKat 2.9 Final with DorimanX v8.43

Before this I was first on Resurrection Remix and then on PAC with both original kernels.

Is this battery drain kernel related, rom related or is the cracked display the reason?

Sorry for my (probably) bad english.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjara:
If your screen is on for more than 3 hours in a full battery discharge, I think you are getting decent battery backup. Cracked screen cant be blamed for this. There can be many possibilities on which you will have to work one by one and eliminate them till you find the rootcause

1. You have apps which are triggering some screen on wakelocks.

2. Your battery life is over. It needs a change.

3. You have already tried various ROMs/kernels. Its time to try another modem/radio. The probability of it being the cause is quite low as you are having drain because of screen, but still, worth a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh3ttoKiLL4:
First, thanks for your response [MENTION=5798845]banjara[/MENTION]!

1. I've installed BBS and there are no signs for me that there are display wakelocks. But i can be wrong.

2. I can eliminate this issue, because i've tried several batterys from friends, but compared to their devices my device lasts (with same battery) muuuuch shorter than theirs.

3. I decided to flash "XXLS6" modem (I was on XXLS8) and flashed SlimKAT now.

I will report in 2-3 days on how much energy the display uses.

Thank you!

Hello,

I just upgraded from Sacs custom rom 4.3 version 5.6 on S4 sp-L720. I had taken pictures on my galaxy gear but had not transferred them to my phone. When I tried to, the photos wouldn't transfer over.

Questions

1) How to fix the gear so that it can transfer photos back to S4

2) How to transfer photos from gear to PC

Thank you,
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsmith5:
Figured it out.

I went to this link How to install and Use ADB. I used ADB to move my stuff from my gear to my pc.

I did find this link How to transfer between phone and gear with Bluetooth transfer app but have not tested it.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage to your phone, i tested all these files personally before uploading them and I don't have problems, but just in case you cannot blame me for any damage, no one forces you to mod your phone, if you don't want to risk don't do it

I'm here to give you a good news (even if it may be a little late since there will not be new baseband for our device)... I have found the way to flash the baseband in recovery, so from this moment our phone can be completely modded using only recovery mode

First of all I have to say thank you to [MENTION=4825267]alireza7991[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION] because they were the first one to think it could be possible in this way. I have to say thank you to [MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION] for testing help (he has a spare i9001 :D) and to [MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] because he posted this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52944982&postcount=29

Here is a list of zip files containing basebands, I will update it from time to time

I9001XXKPO (last Italian and German stock firmware no brand)

I9001BUKP7 (last Italian and German stock Vodafone firmware

I9001XXKPM

I9001XXKPL

I9001XXKPF (Stock italian 2.3.5 firmware no brand)

I9001DDKP9 (Last Indian baseband)

I9001XXKG3

me and [MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION] tested this, it works on all custom recoveries

Thanks to:

[MENTION=4825267]alireza7991[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION] for the concept

[MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION] for testing

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
I can't provide all the basebands for our phone because on sammomibile there are some rom not available, and they are really a lot :) so if you want to test a baseband available here, and then have the possibility to come back on the one you are using now and it is not available here this is all what you need.

The backup script take a backup of the current baseband and put it in /sdcard/amss.bak

The restore script flashes the file /sdcard/amss.bak on you baseband, so it restores the backup

WARNING

Dont play with amss.bak file and be sure it is in its place before restoring it

I guess XXKPO is the newest one (it's the baseband I'm using right now)

In your personal experience which one is best for signal specially GPS usage?

i used the two uploaded ones and i think they are quite the same, i stucked with bukp7 because is the last i tried and being quite the same as kpo i did not want to use odin to change it, now i will gather some basebands and make flashable zips, so who wants can try easily :)

im using the KPO baseband , yesterday i flashed release 6 of the ADC's cyanogen team , i love it !!! fast & smooth with ZERO bugs, then i flashed the KPO baseband ...i dont know but i feel much more battery life ...due to the baseband or the new rom & kernet ???

Looks good! I'm now on KPM baseband (general Europe), because I'm from the Netherlands. Curious if the KPO baseband works in the Netherlands too!:laugh:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] alireza7991:
Thanks for your work.

It could be great if you made a zip for backup current baseband too.

why not? ;)

Edit: added to the second post script for backup/restore, and disclaimer added... just in case :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] t5s:
Cool! What's your experience, do you need to wipe caches after flashing the baseband?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ktulu84:
no, baseband is a independent from os, it is in another partition, it talks with OS using RIL
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] t5s:
Ok, because I had it once upon a time with a stock gingerbread rom that it had issues after flashing a new baseband via odin and it stabilized after wiping caches. But maybe it was coincidence.

[Edit] Problem solved. You can ignore the following post. The camera is working with the XXKPO baseband!

----------

hello guys,

i flashed XXKPO in recovery. Since then my camera (aosp & google) can't safe photos anymore. The pictures are taken but not saved. It worked with XXKPK before,

I am using CM11-20140808-UNOFFICIAL-dev_connection_team_arievse

Things i tried:

1. factory reset

2. download baseband zip a second time, flash the new file

3. installing CM rom image again

Non of these efforts made a change.

I was thinking about formatting the internal sd-card, but i haven't done this yet, because i have no difficulties to write on this partition.

Does anyone have an idea, what caused this strange behavior?
