[Q] Updating kernel baseband on Samsung Galaxy S2 with CM 7.1 - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy SII with Stable Cyanogenmod 7.1 with KH3 baseband version.
What's the best baseband to update? With CM installation my modem wouldn't update and I can't find any guide that teaches how to properly update a baseband.
I'm coming from Villain Rom and there where no problems with HSDPA. With CM 7.1, data connection is anything but fast.
My carrier is Vodafone Spain.

works only with lg optimus 2x.. not galaxy s2

Try Rom Manager, there are a few modems available under codeworkz, I think it does the modem installation for you.

Sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask this but i tried cm9 but it didnt like my apps so i went back to gb 2.3.4 on galaxy s2, never gives me trouble but cm9 left its baseband behind, my phone seems to be running better but is it safe can anyone tell me plz
Never mind sorted it by flashing 2.3.5, i find earlyer GBs have better batterylife and will run any app u put in it

Installing BaseBang for custom rom ??

I am thinking of installing Kind 3d Rom on my O3D... is it necessary to install a baseband for Gingerbread first ? If so whats the best baseband available and how to install it ..... just like flashing custom rom or theres some other way .. ??
+ my O3d is working fine , so i dont install the baseband and update to 2.3 rom will it have it effect ... sometimes i loose connectivity and have to restart but i thinks that is due poor network coverage.
Hi, I only recently got my O3D and it was locked to one network. I bought an unlock code (had to wait for it) and preceded to install king rom. When I tried to put lock code in it wouldnt let me. I then realised that even an original network sim wouldnt work and my imei number was not showing on the phone.
Hence I found I needed to update the baseband to allow the network to be picked up.
So yes you need to, however I updated the baseband after gb install and it worked fine, not sure about doing the baseband update beforehand.
I used baseband v18 and whilst signal is not as good as my old defy, I am not complaining too much
Hope this helps

You have to install baseband. It doesn't matter if you do it before or after flashing the rom

Hi all, noob guy here, i really need some help. I rooted my optimus 3d and installed ice cream sandwich rom, since then i cant use my phone or send txts, it does not regognise my sim card. the rom is working fine and looks great though.lol. Is there a way in which i can revert back to stock rom? any help would be really appreaciated.TIA.
Why don't you all simply just install the official Gingerbread update from LG and then afterwards try out the custom roms based on the Gingerbread release? I don't get it...
Is it that easy?just put it in the SD card and then install....etc??I am havinga cold feet installing any costume rom cause I hear this and that..I am on official GB 21A and rooted..donnu wat to to do really..

Hi thanks for the reply before i give this a go is ther any way of updating baseband via CWM.. and one more thing when i go to about phone will new baseband look the same as current or will it be named different ??? Sorry if this has been talked about already ..
There is no option to update baseband via cwm,this is only solution so far.
I'm on gb and my baseband name is same as yours,but you need to flash gb baseband obviously.
Cheers.
Thanks chobby ill give it a try so

You can flash an O3d baseband to the thrill? If so, which baseband is recommended for a gingerbread flash?
Thanks!
i use baseband from official v21a gingerbread and it is workin fine for me,no ghost calls or something like that.
you should flash official gb for thrill and then search custom roms in development section for thrill 4g.

Rooting Galaxy S Blaze 4g

Hi so im looking to root my galaxy s blaze to get rid of some of these developer apps . im still running 2.3.6 with UVLF5 and need a guide on how to do this . Obviously never rooted before so appreciate all the help i can get Thanks
Yes ive looked around for a guide but as beastmodes states "anyways here goes the step by step assuming that you have a Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g T769 and are on ICS
UVLH5 firmware." which im not running UVLH5
Cant find a post thats current for rooting
I am also using UVLF5
I am also using UVLF5 as well and I really need at least ICS OFFICIAL or Kitkat CM11 I need this rooted in my life!!!
Sent from my SGH-T769 using XDA Free mobile app
uvlf5
OP,
I am in the same ballpark too. I would love to get a new phone, but I can't justify the cost! I pay 3.95 / mnth to T-Mobile for insurance so I am hoping just to replace my T769 with a new one every year. I don't root my phone because it makes it somewhat unstable, so if you want to go to CM11 which is much better than 2.3.6, it will just make your Blaze unstable. The GPS won't work all the time, and the phone won't work right. I does weird things with the display occasionally. I have run on Gingerbread until I get a new phone. I have tried to save Baseband, ( the efs folder ) and upgrade to CM11 then replace it with the old Baseband. It didn't seem to work for me, at least in "About Phone" on CM11 Baseband Version was "Unknown" which is probably a bad thing.
If they could clear the "efs" folder issue when you backup, that would be great. For now I use MyBackup "free" and backup the Apps and Data. Every month or so, I backup and factory reset and restore to clean everything out.
