I've looked through all the posts for this phone and haven't had any luck. I'm trying to install the latest version of cyanogenmod 11 on my s2. But it says I need to update the radio. How would I go about doing this?

You can flash uvmc6 if you don't already have it

Those 2 mentioned above are the only ones that work on anything 4.1.2 or above.

If you're coming from any rom that is based on JB 4.1.2 or higher then just flash one of the radios found here.
If coming from a rom that is based on ICS 4.0.4 or older then you need to update to stock JB 4.1.2 to get the proper radio files, use Odin and site like SamMobile to get the proper firmware rom or use Samsung Kies.
Once you have the proper radio also make sure you have KK4.4 compatible recovery - You must use TWRP 2.6.1.0 or CWM 6.0.3.7+ recovery or you will boot loop!
Note about just flashing newer radio without going to stock first, some tried this and ran in to lots of issues because those radio .zips don't have all the files needed for the radio's partition, if you were running a JB 4.2/CM 10.1 rom without issue you should be able to get away with just flashing radio.

Noob problem
Every time I try to flahs a new rom i get errors.
in wipe and install its getting (E:Unable to mount '/efs')
Now i switched from CWM recovery to TWRP for the reason that their latest update gave me to much trouble and ive been flashing roms on my sgs2 since gingerbread..
I'm not trying to cause problems just trying to get a fix on the situation.
I can always restore back to my last backup but im a flashaholic and sucks that im stuck on the same rom for so long
please help and its ok if i get flamed as long as i get a solution
From the top of my head, I would suggest to downgrade
the TWRP to ver. 2.2.2.0
Try that and see how it goes.
Good luck!

Flashed and backed up on 2.3.1.1. Absolutely no issues. AOKP JB 10-23 and the king kang kernel.

I guess no one has an answer.I'm believing to think it's my phone and not the recovery tool

Have you tried a different download? Try using a different browser to dl and flash again. Or you could try using an older version of TWRP if the newer one isn't working well on your phone.

I'm rooted with a custom recovery running M919UVUAMDB.
So if i get it right. Only way to upgrade is to
Odin to stock.
Upgrade and break root.
Root with upgrade.
Re Flash upgraded stock.
Pretty much. Or you can use Skies to do recovery to the lastest firmware, then root again.

Been searching for last hour or two and this is only thread I've found this specific topic. Just got S4 today coming from a GNex so somethings are new to me.
Is there a detailed instructions somewhere on how to do this?
I'm also rooted on M919UVUAMDB and trying to figure out the best way to upgrade to MDL so that I can re-root again.
Install Kies. Under Tools setting, select recovery and put your phone to download mode. Let Kies do the rest.

Thanks for clarifying. Just to double check, would cwm recovery affect the kies firmware recovery process?
No. Kies would wipe it off during recovery process and install the latest firmware.

lol I've searched around too, but made my own conclusions. ahha
Not attempting to promote any particular roms but Wicked v2 is running mdl update with the mdb modem and radio and smoother than silk on s4, Revolt requires manualy updating with setuidremoval but has a great writeup how to do so as does Infamous S4, I personally can confirm Revolt and Wicked are working flawless as long as the minimal theming currently in both is fine with you.

I currently have the T-Mobile version with the 4.1.1 stock rom with a modified framework and root but stock recovery as well.
The phone don't seem to find the update available to get 4.1.2
What would be the best way to upgrade to the newer version?
Where can I get a backup of the recovery for that newer version.
Firmware thread stickied in development. Link in my sig.

Just flash the new root66 file then I assume?
If I recall correctly that should update and not lose data right?
Thank you
Correct. But still back up your stuff. Things do happen sometimes.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here
I have a frustrating problem. Yesterday i update my Galaxy Ace 2 from 2.3.6 to Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10, everything was good.
But on first up i get A LOT of "radio has been granted superuser permissions" and i saw that i dont have any GSM signal.
Anyone knows what i do wrong?
PS. I also have a problem with Airplane mode, i just cant turn it off.. everytime i try its getting ON by itself.. ofcourse because of that i cant do any SMS and Calls (and maybe this is why i dont have any signal).
Please, help me.
Sorry for my english
Have you installed stock samsung JB before installing CM10? You have to do it before installing CM10/10.1.

No, i install CM10 on stock 2.3.6. So i have to flash samsung JB first?
Yeah, you basically flashed a whole new android version that was completely different to 2.3.6, get Odin, flash the latest 4.1.2 stock firmware, root it, then get CyanogenMod again
Sent from my GT-I8160 using xda app-developers app
Okey, i will do this.
Can i use Heimdall (linux) instead of Odin?

The different Android version isn't the problem. On my old Xperia X8 we had officially only Eclair and all the custom ROMs (CM6, CM7, CM9, CM10) worked without problems. The problem here is that Samsung most probably changed some stuff in modem in the JB update (and hence the RIL doesn't work when you install CM10/10.1 on top of GB).
@derester: Yes, if you know how to use it.
Thank you guys!
It worked .
It was loong road to get it work, but im happy now
Sorry if it has been mentioned a million times.. I been out the loop, but from my understanding I can update to 4.3 by flashing a 4.3 Rom through Cwm? I know you have to flash our latest modem before Rom correct? Will I need to flash that AT&T kernel for wifi to work? Just wanted to know if I can just flash all these through the regular recovery and not Odin. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yes, that's what I did. Actually I flashed Rom, then modem, then AT&T kernel. And everything is working. And yes, I did it all through cwm.
