Hello.
I have a i9000m from bell canada. I flashed the latest nightly build of CM7 for my phone (update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-GalaxyS-signed) everything seemed to go without a hitch... until i tried to make a call, txt, browse etc...
Now my phone cant get onto the bell network and when scanning networks through network provider i only see CAN rogers network....
Help please i dont see what i did wrong and really like the cm7 rom.

So I upgraded my phone to 2.3.4, and now when I search for mobile networks(network operators for voice, not data), only Rogers Wireless is visible...
I'm with Koodo(Telus), so obviously I can't connect to it. Can someone please shed some light on what might be wrong? Thanks
So are you connecting to a Rogers tower and roaming, or you have no data or what? Just because they all say rogers, doesnt mean they dont work. My phone used to list Sasktel for all towers (Bell, Telus or rogers) but i could connect to them
So what is the issue? If your data isnt working, maybe after the upgrade you have to put ur APN settings back in for data. I usually have to when i upgrade as Slacktels stuff isnt in there
Maybe a reboot will help? Switch to airplane mode and back? Maybe your in an area where Koodoo is weak but rogers isnt. Just spitballing here!
Cheers!
Fixed my problem. The location band changed somehow, but i changed it back to USA. Works fine now
Dear all,
I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S2 from Swedish 3 Network.
Obviously the phone is bind to the carrier and I rooted the device and unlocked the SIM and bam! I got the phone working.
I wanted to test 3G Services from Vodafone and before I jumped on to that part something in between caught my attention..
Frimware update with Gingerbread 2.3.4.
Initially when I got the phone it was on PDA:XWKF4 PHONE: NEKF2 CSC: HTSKF1 with Gingerbread 2.3.3 with lengthy 3 Network boot loader.
The firmware that interested me is PDA:XWKI4 PHONE:XXKI1 CSC:Multi with Gingerbread 2.3.4. I flashed and the phone and it is back into sound operating mode without any hassles.
Now I decided to jump on to 3G testing part. I called Vodafone Care and they advised me to send an SMS to 144 mentioning ACT 3G which I did. I got a confirmation saying that 3G is active.
However, here comes the problem part. Whenever I turn Data Network mode all I see is "E" with up and down arrows. And when I go to Phone Settings -> About Phone -> Status -> Network Type it says Edge.
Am I missing anything here? To add ambiguity I didn't test 3G with the previous version of firmware. One thing I'm sure about is 3G worked on this phone before on 3 Network.
Any inputs greatly appreciated..
Regards,
A.
Fixed: No 3G on Samsung Galaxy S2 Vodafone India
Well..
My problem resolved..
I flashed my SGS2 with below firmware combination:
PDA:ZSKI3 (Hong Kong)
PHONE:XXKI3 (Hong Kong)
CSC:INU(India Localization)
And now I have H+/3G whenever I turn on Data Network Mode.
At last.. I'm at peace.. Device fully functional..
Regards,
A.
Hello Arun,
I too am having issues connecting to the 3G network of Vodafone in India. My SGS2 is from AT&T and I was able to root it & unlock it and its works fine with the call and other stuff. I flashed the UnNmaed v1.0.4 ROM and its been pretty stable.
I looked up at the CSC code on my phone by dialing in *#272*<your IMEI># and its shows as ATT. Can you please enlighten me on how to change the CSC to INU like yours so that I can access the 3G network here.
Thanks
Hey,
I'm running an SG 2 I bought in Mumbai about 6 months ago with the following stock firmware -
PDA: KE8
Phone: KE2
CSC: INU
Gingerbread 2.3.3
I activated 3G on Vodafone a few days ago and they insist its active from their end. Been thru the manual settings routine and restarted the phone a dozen times, but it refuses to latch onto 3G. Data works, but only EDGE, like you've mentioned in your original post (the E with the 2 arrows).
Any suggestions how I can get on to 3G? This is frustrating, and I'm positively a noob as far as rooting/flashing ROMS etc goes.
Thanks!
Hi all,
First time poster, long time follower!!
I'm hoping someone can help me here because i have a real headache with my galaxy s2.
When i got it at Christmas everything was perfect. But two weeks later i suddenly lost my 3g. Phone works fine on 2g (except for the slow speed), but i contacted my carrier 3Ireland and they said everything is fine on their end. My APN is perfect, i've tried toggling airplane mode, entering codes, data package checks. You name it and i've tried it.
When i force my phone to select 3g it looses all signal and i have to restart my phone and quickly go back into settings to choose 2g or i will loose signal again.
This is the following on my phone.
Android version 2.3.5
Baseband version I9100XXKI4
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
Build number GINGERBREAD.XWKI8
I've being reading about modem/radios lately, is that just the baseband? Could that be my problem. I'm a noob at this kinda thing.I just want my 3g to come back.
All help is greatly appreciated. Look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks.

Hi all,
Please go through above link and help me to install a ROM for my phone..tell me which rom is the best to use in India..
Hello people..... I've tried Nova Hd, Cyanogen, Hellfire, Chuck Norris etc....they are all amazing and the amount of work that went into these ROM's is quite apparent... But my LG Optimus 2X will not connect to the Videotron 3G network.... Rogers remains its preferred network with all the ROM's I've installed and with none of the ROM's do I even get Videotron as a choice... Videotron is present in the apn .xml files and I did also input APN settings manually on the phone but to no avail... Is it possible that the phone will only connect to the Rogers network since it was originally a Rogers phone?.. Could it be a SIM problem? I am at a loss... I've been working on this piece of s**t for two weeks now and my head hurts... help please, thank you, Frank from Montreal.
After more testing i realised that I am able to connect to Telus and Bell as well as Rogers....still no Videotron...what is going on?
So, I got a AT&T Skyrocket s2 i727 from amazon. its already unlocked and i noticed it was stuck on edge speeds when i put in my sim card. I researched why it was on google and came across this site, which i have to say is amazing!. i have read every topic there is about how to root/unroot, flash roms, radios, kernels, etc. over the last i dunno, week or so. So i decided to give it a try since everything is step by step, which im not illierate towards, i understood what it all meant. first thing i started out with is odim and flashed the cwm touch for the skyrocket, which was easy. i then researched some more and seen i wanted to make this phone on tmoblies 4g service, which here in iowa is called IWireless, anything tmoblie works with this since they are an affiliate of tmoblie. I started out downloading all the radios, which i have:
cwm-tmob-kl1-radio
Telus_SGH-T989D_Kj3_radio
Tmo_SGH-T989_KID_radio
Tmo_SGH-T879-UVLG3_radio
Tmo_SGH-T989_VK1_radio
Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio
Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio_MOD
so as u can see ive got pretty much all of them. then i found which rom i wanted to use, i downloaded CM9 and CM10. for the CM9 build i seen the best kernel for it: InstigatorX-CM9-Kernel3-v6.0.3. also downloaded the gapps for each cm build.
then i followed the instructions the CM team left, backup, factory reset, format, install the radio, then cm os and finally the gapps.
I did all this with each radio and each cm, everything. no i did not brick my phone im alot smarter than that lol. whenever i try a radio, usually im just stuck on the edge speeds. i go into my settings on the phone and it wont save me selecting the lte/gsm/wcdma, just stays on the wcdma preferred....when i did each radio i started from fresh, cleaned everything out, even tried the davlik wipe in the advanced settings in cwmtouch.
so i read in other forums that ppl tried to flash over radios. that didnt work, i was left with no signal at all.
i still have the imei number on my phone when i dial *#06#, so i havent lost that, but every radio i use my baseband version says unknown.
also when i enter the service code in for cm10 and cm9, it wont save my selction of what bands id like to use....
so any help here would be appreciated...im losing my mind over this and it sucks...thanks for anyones help, i need it.
Edit:
switched back to stock ics from my recovery, installed the blaze radio, showed i had 4g, but had no bars. i called someone and after i called them it went back to edge. went to search for networks and all i can get is E again. under settings it shows im on edge 2....so im close but obvisously not close enough. i live in a major city here in iowa and i live a few blocks from a wireless tower...any ideas?

Flash a T-mo radio that gets you on the network, then look around and find the proper APN settings for your provider. You will have to go into the APN settings on your phone and create a new APN with those specific settings for it to work properly. I am not sure what those settings are for T-mo but you should be able to find them with the search feature.

so ive went back to the recovery, which the phone was set at before everything, flashed the radios of blaze and the uvle1 and it shows i have 4g but it bareley even runs. also each time i flash a new radio my apn settings are there, iwireless automatically downloads them to ur phone when u turn it on, and i verified the apn settings with another iwireless phone, an alcatel 995(4g phone). and now i can send a text message, the other phone receives it but the other phone doesnt receive mine. any other ideas? im going to try flahsing all the tmo radios to the phone and see what i can do. also is the radio and the modem the same thing? do i need to find a tmo modem and flash it on there and then a radio?
EDIT: nvm radio and modem same thing it seems like...lol. anyways ive tried the other radios, i completely lost signal with them as to they wont work. does anyone have any other radios that might work? i dont care if it gets 4g just at least 3g lol. im just geting tired of working on this and about to give up this really blows.

Modem and radio are same thing. Other than an APN issue I know of nothing else other than a #*number combination to enable lte settings. I am not sure what that combination is though as I live in a not-lte area and have not needed it. You may want to search the SkyJB thread as I think it was discussed at length in there. And I would try each and every one of the t-mo radios/modems as you might actually find one that works to enable 3g/4g in your particular area.
I have tried absolutely everything possible that I can find here on the xda forum and elsewhere to get my Verizon Samsung S3 up and running on the Tigo network here in Honduras and have come to a dead end.
Android Version: 4.1.2
The phone has been rooted using a step by step thread I found on a blog called rootandunlock (which gives kudos to xda)
Build #: VRBMF1
I have the APN's set up and have gone through activating them but no matter what I do the phone just isn't recognizing the towers here. It does find towers for Claro HND but won't connect to it.
I don't know where to turn at this point, and really would love for this phone to be more than just a lonely paperweight
Same problem
I would love for some one to let us know what we could do!
I found a solution to this problem.. it just isn't really the solution I wanted to find sadly.
After rooting, flashing Omega rom, Clockwork, and going as far as to alternating the APN's to the networks here in Honduras the phone WILL make and receieve calls and texts on the TIGO network (I didn't try Claro), but it will NOT work for data. You can of course use wifi where ever you go, but it will not connect to the data network as far as i've been able to figure out.
From what I read on TIGO, they are using gsm only in Honduras now ( and shutdown cdma ). If this is correct I don't think that data will work on s3. Tonight I will do some more research and see if I can learn more.
But until then it maybe worth changing the network settings? To gsm or global.
