Updating my old GT-I8160 Ace2 to cm11 - Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
Sorry for bringing up these old stuffs.
I have a GT-I8160 ace2 brought in Hong Kong.
Running GB 2.3.6, baseband: ZSLG1, Build no.: GB XXLK7
using this custom rom.
i tried flashing TWRP then cm-11-20140807-UNOFFICIAL-codina.zip and finally Gapps . And of course, PWNED. Everything run smooth&nice except no radio signal. Did some search here and noticed i should first flash JB firmware before going KK/cm11.
My problem now is which JB firmware i should pick? and where to download it as most links here were dead.
also, i assume the firmware is one i need odin to flash, while kernel & rom can be flashed via cwm/twrp. sorry for these dumb noob questions, as i have been away from my ace2 too long and missed so many stuffs. sorry.
Thank you.

did you download the stock Firmware from SamMobile page ? I can't see how something like this could happen.

Are you rooted? You can download goo manager from play store....and I think its update or something you click and it will ask if you want to update recovery. I don't have it installed ATM....but its something like that.
Not sure if root is required.

Thank you for your help!
If possible, I would need some additional help.
Can I directly flash know to jb? or do I have to flash gb first?
Do you know where I can find a step by step instruction to flash jb? The file link here in the forum (All Galaxy Ace 2 (gt-i8160/P/L) Jelly Bean Firmwares) does not work anymore. Do you may be know a place where I can find the correct version?
Thank you again!

The /tee folder is in system/lib
However the replacement does not make any change to my phone. I have 8160 not the p.
I have tried everything and no luck at all. I have flashed modems from odin, installed lots of roms, none of them can see my sim card and I have no network access.
PLEASE HELP

I bought the phone in China on TaoBao (Chinese EBAY) and it was made for Poland. It came with an unlocked 2.3.6 which from the beginning did not see my sim card. I flashed all the way up to cm11 and all worked great except the modem which never saw my sim card. I went back to stock European 2.3.6 two times and built it back up including trying to flash a modem or two. Still no sim.
I then found the official Chinese (has english too) 4.1.2 and flashed that with ODIN. All is working great but still no network. THEREFORE I am guessing that when this thing was built for Poland it had a special modem (hardware) that only works there?
Now I am downloading all the 4.1.2 firmwares built for Poland in the hope that one of them can drive whatever modem is in this thing.
Heading to bed now (UTC +8) and will report back in the morning.

You have a Hong Kong Ace 2. You need to install Gingerbread with baseband ZS. And there is no JB update for the HK model
Defeated!

I think you are right. I tried all of the above and nothing worked. It is sent back. What is the best baseband to ask for? I think that XX is well supported.
Best BaseBand Version
Can you tell me what baseband version I should try to buy?
I want to install KitKat on the ACE 2 and I know that the Hong Kong version will not work.

Well...that's because you don't have the NFC Version....
Sorry but your problems can be solved only by reflashing another ROM and/or flashing a Stock JELLYBEAN (yes only Jb) firmware

Sent the phone back. It was a ZS baseband and no way to update to JB or newer. Bought a S3 mini instead. Wife wants a smaller phone.
Okay then
The galaxy s3 mini is a good phone...trust me I tried it myself

[Q] How to find the old stock gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM? Serious mother-in-law problem.

Hello, I have a mother-in-law problem... so I guess you understand my cry for help.
I recently updated her Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-I8160) from 2.3.6 to 4.1.2
Something I shouldn't have done, considering the device being very slow after the update.
So now I am trying to find the old 2.3.6 firmware again, specifically for the Netherlands (XEN).
I have search pretty much everywhere on the web, but only find dead hotfile links that work no more.
I hope anyone still has the stock rom on their computer!

Thanks, Joop

But that's the thing I don't understand:
See, if I would download a random 2.3.6 stock ROM from that website, would I be able to use the Dutch language for the phone?

Oh, and also something that remains unclear to me: if I do get the Dutch language with any kind of stock 2.3.6 ROM, will I then be able to use in on the cellular networks in the Netherlands?

I'm from the Philippines and I used the Italian XXNA1 (Latest stock Samsung 4.1.2 firmware) for a short time (test purposes..) before upgrading to CM 10.1. Was able to connect to our local cell network.

Vino Kulafu, would you mind checking whether the CM 10.1 ROM also has the language option for Dutch (="Nederlands")?
AFAIK all stock ROMs have all Latin-based languages, only a few stocks support Arabic fonts, Cyanogenmod has (at least) Latin+Japanese+Chinese
Anyway, for your original question, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141930 (only after flashing that you could install http://d-h.st/QLZ -- less bloatware and doesn't default to Russian )

Unbrand Samsung Gt-i9082i

Hello everyone, I have a problem with my Galaxy Grand Duos. In practice, it is the Chinese version and therefore has not been updated to Android 4.2.2, with the result that all roms that require Android 4.2.2 can not be put. I have already tried to put the international version of odin but does not go. How do I upgrade?
Sorry for my bad English
