[Q] Restoring radio on CM11 - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have just managed to flash Maclaw's CM11 ROM onto a stock, rooted GT-I8160. Everything works apart from the mobile radio. Under Settings > About Phone > Status it says "Service status: Radio Off" and "Network disconnected". The phone has an IMEI number and a baseband number.
So far I have tried:
Rebooting with charger plugged in.
Building a full charge.
Trying to select a network provider. It just says "Error while searching for network operators."
Is there anything else I should try before just restoring from a backup?

Have you flashed stock JB before flashing CM or you flash directly from GB? If you flashed from GB flash JB with pit then reflash CM

I flashed directly from GB. I thought that might be the problem. Thanks for the idea.
Also, what do you mean by "JB with pit"?

Ok, so I need to flash all the files in that mega.co.nz folder using Odin and then flash the stock JB from sammobile?
I'll try this. Thanks very much.

geez..
you can just flash a one part .md5 jb fw file and then cm11. 3 part isnt necessary. if you only have 482mb ram, find and flash the 624mb ram patch(thread in dev forum)

I followed all your instructions and after rebooting CM11 twice, I have radio connectivity back! Thank you very much!

[Q] [SOLVED] GT-I8150T ROM Download Link

EDIT: I managed to download an update version using Check Fus. Didn't know about that one. Thanks any.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Does anyone have a download link for GT-I8150T (T is the key here). I have flashed over a GT8150 rom and lost 3G since. AMSS file might also be good enough. The only site I could find so far was droidevelopers.com -> www.droidevelopers.com/downloads.php?do=cat&id=90 but that proved a waste of time so far (wth the registration and daily limit even without actually downloading anything)...
Thanks again.

So you flashed the "T" ROM over a " W" ROM, or the other way around?
How did you flash it? By using the recovery or by using Odin?

The other way around. I bought I8150T (but I didn't know it had the 'T' till it was very late). I flashed one of the firmwares for I8150 (no T). The CWM backup didn't back up the baseband also...
thanks
Glad you got it solved. CMW doesn´t backup the baseband and the modem, so probably the modem was the problem.

[Q] i8160 - stuck @ boot - no recovery possible

Hello guys!
I have an Ace2 (which was on Android 2.3.6) and tried to install CM11. At first it didn't work, because I had no CWM. So I flashed a Kernel with CWM and installed the CM11-ROM via CWM. That was no problem. But when I was setting up the ROM, I realised that I had no mobile/phone connection at all.
So I tried to install a few stock firmwares via Odin. The installation always finishes with no errors. But when I boot the phone it does not get any further than to the Samsung-startscreen.
And I can't access the recovery mode anymore! Only Odin-Mode is still possible.
Is there an option to get my phone back to some kind of stock state.
Please help me out!

Try to re-flash into stock rom, the jellybean version. If you had a problem with the network maybe there's something wrong with the csc file

That's what I'm trying now. I thought I already tried to downgrade to GB but after looking on the filenames of the different firmwares I tried, I noticed that they are all JB's.
Thank you for the replys. Currently I'm waiting for my GB-firmware to download...
You havr to use the 3 part firmware to downgrade.

if u will get bootloop after installing GB, go into recovery (if u will get that possibility) and wipe it, btw, did i understood well? U flashed CM11 when u have been on GB?
---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------
U can also try to flash stock GB/JB (depends on which firmware u have now) kernel separatly. Ramdisk (u have recovery in it) is flashed with kernel so it can help

NOW I KNOW TOO! :silly:
I have to stock upgrade to JB first, BEFORE I flash custom JB ROMs.
I'm already loading a 3-part firmware, from that thread you gave me. Although the first link did not work, I hope there is the same (3-part) firmware in the second link.
U mean u are downloading from this link http://d-h.st/AZN ? (I8160XXLK6.zip)
Yes, its definetly GB stock rom, i was forced to use I8160XXLK6 (not from this link, but still) when i messed up my phone few weeks ago (same problem i could enter only odin-mode)

Yep, that's exactly what I'm downloading @ the moment.
And those are the 3 parts for Odin which should bring the phone back to GB-stock?
PDA: CODE_GT-I8160_I8160XXLK6_CL1211243_REV00_user_SEC_KEY_LK6_4G.tar
CSC: CSC_GT-I8160-MULTI-CSC-OXELF1_SEC_KEY_4G.tar
PIT: GT-I8160_EUR_XX_4G
Did I get that right?
I just don't want to mess it up again...
And btw:
I already tried a I8160XXLK6 but it was a single-file firmware and had no effect on my problem.
I need the 3-parts including CSC and PIT, right?
It doesnt work? Huh dunno why.
Lets trust @teddysten and upgrade to JB, it might work
If it wont u will have to do some research and find 3-part GB rom
The single-file firmware did not work for me!
I haven't tried the 3-part firmware yet, from the link that you gave me. In about 10 minutes the download will be finished and I'm going to try it immediately!
Well. Remember that after flashing first booting (samsung logo ANIMATION) takes a while.
if u will still have this issue after downgrading to GB then upgrade it from this to JB anyway because it might work (dont ask me how, i dont know how so i wont explain). For now im out and ill visit XDA tommorow (earliest).
soo Good Luck and i hope that others will help u too if u will get some problems.
I am here if you need help
What version of you Odin do you have ?
Ok...
I downloaded the 3-part firmware to get back to GB stock.
That worked.
Then I installed the original JB-firmware from my provider.
That worked too.
So I'm happy again and everything is working!
Thanx a lot guys!!!!! :highfive:

Thank you so much. I was in this EXACT situation (GB to KK) and tried everything; pretty much every GB single-file ROM I could file. The 3-part ROM did the trick though!

I changed latest codina version's lib/tee folder from cm-11-20140520-UNOFFICIAL-codina which is older version. Then i installed ROM again but It doesn't solve the problem. Where can I change the permisions. When i installed the same ROM's before, there was not this issues occured before. By the way when I installed again, I tried wipe/reset factory, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and then install again.

Like I said, you need "tee" folder from stock JB for your GT-I8160 ver. And you can swap this folder directly in ROM Zip's archive (via 7zip or something on windows), remove current "tee" folder and put yours in the same place and don't care about permissions.
Files in "tee" folder are modem (RIL) parts, different for GT-I8160/L/N/P variants of Ace 2. Defaults are for GT-I8160 in every custom ROM and cannot be used the same for other codina variants (modem unknown).
I have a similar problem. I installed cyanogenmod 11 from TeamCajinca http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2555021 and mobile data is very slow. After many trials and failures I managed to create an APN that works, but the internet speed is very slow compared with the stock android: only 2-3mbps. Does anybody knows the correct cyanogenmod 11 APN for Vodafone Romania or some other settings?

What is the name of the .md5 file?
Same problem here
Guys, I've got the same problem - after installing Cyanogen 10.2 by TeamCanjica my phone's GSM module doesn't work. It can see a data provider name from sim-card, but cannot find any network (says "no signal").
I've tried installing CM10.1 and CM 11 - all the same, no GSM/3G signal.
My radio module firmware (as shown on phone) is I8160XXLL2.
After reading this thread I have two questions:
1) (the silly one) can this broblem be caused by installing clockworkmod recovery?
2) (the main one) where can I download stock JB ROM for my phone? I tried to get it from here (only found ROM for I8160XXMG2 for Russia): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340849, but the download link is broken.
Hope we'll find a solution

Is your Phone a SER Version?? Or from which country? EDIT Saw a bit late that you already found were to DL FWs
But before you proceed I recommend to flash your Phone with 3-parted SER GB FW to eliminate any wrong remainders.

I've got a I8160XXMG2_I8160QXEMG2_HOME.tar.md5 file (it comes in a zip archive with an SS_DL.dll). Will it fit?
And, speaking in other words, I should now install (or flash) a GB ROM, then stock JB and only after that CM_any_version_i_like?
Or better should i flash to GB, then to CM and replace files as said in this thread (modem driver files)?
Thanks!

I haven't been on any forums since year 2007. And going back - this is amazing!!!

Try reflashing the stock rom via odin.. It should work fine
Use appropriate firmware flash until official is back in Odin mode
Exactly what i've done.
i've downloaded this ROM from sammobile: I9190UBUCNH1_I9190DORCNI1_DOR
After flashing with odin and restarting the phone, wifi doesn't work.
i've tried to clean user data, but the same thing happen.
if i return CM 12 wifi turn very goos, so it's not a material problem
Please help me if you have any idea.

Yes, download https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347821137
NOTE, if you click on "UVUBOH1" and not the androidfilehost link in the FW thread, it links you to the wrong FW and you'll flash UVUBNC1! Make sure you click the androidfilehost link underneath UVUB0H1.
Then flash it with odin.
Afterwards let it reboot and upgrade, then odin TWRP back and either restore a nandroid or flash the rom of your choosing
Oh also, if you're still on 4.1 and on a touchwiz rom, you may want to factory unlock it before you upgrade.. Just because you can. Follow the unlock thread on here

Was quite a bit of trouble at first . I managed to download and flash the software. flashed TWRP via odin.
Then through TWRP, I rooted by using the Knox remover zip (as i was on official 4.3, my service signal did shoot up to normal again!). Installed SuperSU.
Now when I try to flash any ROM via TWRP it gives errors such as "Status 7", or error reading MD5 when I try to backup software.

Make sure twrp is up to date for d2tmo, and make sure the rom you are flashing is 4.3 or later. I'm pretty sure that once you're on the latest 4.3 rom you can't flash anything lower

That's strange, I'm using 3.0.2.0 and the latest 999L baseband and I haven't had any issues with flashing.
I'm Using the MM pac rom but I've tried CM14.1 nightly builds with no problem

I have finally managed to figure it out. You need to completely format the entire ROM currently installed from your phone. Once that is done, you can add any ROM to install properly. I'm running well on OctOS-N 3/17/2017 build.
Thanks all for your help.
