Gingerbread kernal problem

Hi, I am on the official UK vodafone gingerbread 2.3.3 BUJV9 firmware. I wnted to root the phone with a kernal so tried a few with various problems, mostly the phone wouldn't work so wrong kernal.
The one I have now is CF-ROOT-XX-OXA-JVO-v3.2-CWM3RFS this got the phone working again so I thought I had it.
It now turns out the bluetooth and gps don't turn on.
Can anyone tell me what kernel I need. there are a lot out there, I have tried a few but could do with a pointer.
Thanks for looking.

hardcore's kernel will usually work
Damian's will also: use his gold version, I ran it on JV9 without any issues and it matches well with Brotuck's JV9 rom

[Q] Hi, Cu rious case of Galaxy s

Small run down of what i did and if anyone can help ....
I was running 2.3.3 and updated to the unofficial 2.3.4 using odin and simply honey 5.0 revenge by sgt. That's when i noticed that the phone does not connect to the bell network.The rest of my phone works perfectly even the wifi...but like i said i can t seem to connect to the net work anymore.....
firmware 2.3.4 / baseband version i9000xxjvr/ kernel version 2.6.35.7 [email protected]/ build number simply honey 5.0 revenge
i ve tried some stuff that i have read in these forums like
1. Put apn info my self....tried that nothing.
2. Called tech support and they told me to take the battery out and then the sim
put it back , nothing again
My question is do i have to go back to stock rom to get the network back or is there something else i can try....
information on this subject is sketchy, when i do a google search ...any help would be appreciated...thanks in advance

It probably was a bad flash sounds like some of your system files did'nt compile correctly. Odin back to stockand reflash. I always have flash problems when going past 2.2.1 almost always have to odin back thats why I stick with Froyo a bit mre stable when hopping roms.

New SGS2 and need advice on which ROM to flash (or better way to uninstall)

Hi all,
I just traded a SGS for an Iphone4 for an SGS2. I used to have my SGS rooted and custom ROM because it was sort of necessary for that phone. I would think that it is not neccessary for the SGS2, but... I'm in China and the phone I bought has QQ Security, QQ phonebook, and 360 Security and a bunch of other junk on here as a system program. I hate Tencent. I hate everything about Tencent. I will not trust this software on my new awesome phone.
I tried to uninstall this garbage with Titanium, and it said it uninstalled, but then it was still there. So I guess I need to flash a new clean ROM. Which is not what I want to do, but so be it.
My baseband and stats are as follows:
Android 2.3.3
Baseband I9100XXKE7
Kernel Version [email protected] #2
QUESTION 1: What ROM is close to stock, has a decent set of the new Samsung programs?
QUESTION 2: I would prefer not to use ODIN, as my USB system / drivers on my home computer is messed up and my SGS and SGS2 cannot connect. Can I do a CWM flash of a ROM (used to be able to do this with most ROMs on SGS if I was upgrading to a similar ROM)? If so, which one is compatible with what I have?
Thanks.

1. If you want to stay close to Stock... then go ahead and flash a Stock Firmware..for example KI4 (2.3.4) or KI3 (2.3.5)
2. Nope you have to use Odin to flash at least a custom Kernel to get Clockwork.. only with Clockwork you can flash other Customs Roms but not stock Roms

You probably have Chinese firmware, which means you cannot flash normal firmware on there, it won't accept it, it is somehow protected.
Dial *#1234# in the dialer and post what you see there.
There is a modified build somewhere here on xda, to which I cannot find the link now. You can probably find it, since you are not the first one with Chinese firmware who wants to get rid of it

pda:i9100zske7
phone: i9100zskf4
csc: i9100zskf4
BTW it is rooted and there is a recovery mod on it now.

NTT SC02B : rooting SC02BOMLC4 (Value pack)

Hello folks
So far, I was waiting for some update from Papa to get us a nice LC4 rooted kernel with CWM, but given the activity of the japanese forum that doesn't seem to be happening for now.
After many attempts and some cold sweat, here is what I could figure out.
- Once the update to LC4 is done, it's pretty hard to come back to a former version. None of the KLx series can be flashed, or so it seems. Your only hope is to go back to a SC02BOMJJ1 rom (Froyo) and then start upgrading again.
- The KLx series cannot be rooted using the zergrush, or so it seems.
- Once your phone is rooted with zergrush, the update to the Value Pack seems to keep the root (that's what I read on a japanese forum).
So, to progress a little, what I'd need is a 2.3.3 stock rom, like for instance the SC02BOMKF2.
Once someone can get us that
1) roll back to JJ1 (Odin + JJ1 stock + PIT)
2) upgrade to KF2 (Odin + KF2 stock)
3) root with zergrush
4) upgrade to LC4 (not Odin, using the NTT Docomo update)
and it shall be working as far as I read.
I have the JJ1 files here if somebody needs them, but anyone with a 2.3.3 stock rom ???

hello sir, im a sc02b user too, actually i now have the SC02BOMLC4 value pack on my phone and nothing seems to be new from the last update (KL4). Anyways, ive got my phone rooted but i have to use the kyapat10mod3 to get rooted, yeah that's right my kernel is still SC02BOMKL4 and nothing seems to be worried about im still using my phone now. OC and Memory freak are still working. What I want for our phone is to get some compatible ROMs e.g. CM9, DARKNIGHT, etc. ive already tried the CM9 and its pretty cool but it cannot detect any sim card it has no baseband and EMEI as well. Have a good day..c:

A total newbie flasher needs help

Hi.. I'm in way over my head trying to install a more debloated Rom than the original stock. Unfortunately I didn't succeed very well.
I tried two different ROMS and both of them turned the Sim off and on every second or so. Lots of *pling* noises followed by a message that the Sim card was or wasn't present. It changed so much back and forth that I didn't even get a chance to enter the pin. I belive it is because of some combabillity issues between the rom and baseband/radio version
This lead me to the question: How do I know what rom and baseband would be the most suited for me? I'm living in Denmark (nordic country), but I simply can't figure what rom that is compatible with what baseband.

Boot into Odin mode and verify the model number. Then go to Sammobile.com, download a rom for your country,and install it with Odin.
Did you buy the phone in the country where it is being used?

Sorry if what I'm asking is obvious, but when I install a custom rom, I also need to make sure I install a compatible radio for my area, right?
Sammobile is only stock ROMS, right? And I'm trying to debloat her phone. So when installing a custom rom from this forum and either the reception is bad, it doesn't register Sim card properly or the like.. It might be because I need another baseband than the one that came with the rom right? And what do I need to look for in that regard?
Sorry, but I find it pretty complicated.

I recommend flashing a completely stock ROM, set it up, and make sure everything is working properly. If it doesn't work properly on a stock ROM, it is unlikely it will work properly on a custom ROM.
I find it best to run the latest bootloader and modem regardless of which ROM will be used with the phone.
Problems can sometimes occur when flashing current ROMs over old bootloaders and modems.

Thank you for the already helpful reply.
The thing you say about always flashing newest modem regardless of rom, is very helpful. I didnt even know you could do that. But my problem persist:
I already flashed back to stock, and it runs fine. SO far so good. The problem is that out of 16 GB, the bloatware is justing taking up to much space. But the last two rom I tried both had problems recognising the SIM card (toggled present/not present all the time).
Thats not the case on stock.. So how do I find the proper modem for my phone to use with a custom rom?
I keep seeing a link to sammobile, but all I can find is the bloated stock rom (or I dont know what to look for). Can I grab just the modem somewhere?
When installing a custom rom, it changes the current modem right? AFAIK I have to flash the proper modem afterwards, right?
And therein lies my problem: I dont know how to find the most suited one for my country (which is denmark). And the one that comes with the roms seems to be the wrong ones.
PS: A follow up question: Kernel and baseband/radio/modem is not the same, right? The kernel is not region specific, as the baseband/radio/modem, right?

Custom ROMs can't change your modem, they can't write to those partitions.
In other words, your modem will be the same no matter what. The only way to change it is to flash the appropriate modem files or an actual stock ROM.

SO with the stock rom working now, the modem/rom combination would not be the culprit if something doesnt work afterwards?
What could have been the issue with the sim card connecting and disconnecting every second on the other rom I tried? (Iperium/Imperial something)

What I said is that a custom ROM can't change your modem. But that doesn't mean it can't be affected by your modem.
You may want to read Imperium ROM's install instructions very carefully, cuz I'm pretty sure you missed something important.

Doh.. You might be right.. Ill try flashing the tar files in Odin.
But I just recently got my phone to behave when connecting on Odin.. It also connected back and forth all the time. Putting a USB hub in the middle solved it though (and made it possible to revert to stock). Any idea wht that was about? I reckon either some driver or USB power problem? But Im really fumbling understanding it all, and when it acts up at the same time, even the most simple problems can be hard to see through (because there is always the uncertainty that I misunderstood something basic)..
Just having this conversation helped me understand a lot better how the ROMs and modem is connected (or more precise: How they are not).
And I actually may have had the right baseband all along (Nordic Countries). I will know when I tried flashing the rom again.
Thank you very much

It doesn't matter where you are from, the phone should work with any baseband in any country.
The thing is that some ROMs (like Imperium here) may require a different modem to function properly. In this case, it may require the PG1 modem (listed in the Imperium thread) to solve your problems.

Before flashing a stock ROM, confirm the model # in download mode.
If you want a debloated stock ROM, you could flash a stock ROM, flash TWRP recopvery, flash supersu for root, and use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall apps.

So right now I tried flashing the Resurrection Remix ROM, but it wont make any calls (a voice just says that the number cant be reached, even though I know the numbers exist). What could be the case there?

The modem and bootloader may be too old.

can it also be to new?
I have consulted the below site several times, but the link is dead to the page where I can look up what modem to use.
Can someone please point me in the right direction of which to use?

What modem should I choose for my phone? Living in Denamrk and trying with the ressurection remix rom? I tried 3 different of the modems starting with XX but all have the same problem: I cant make any calls. It just says that "there isnt any members on the selected number".
Making calls works fine on stock rom

The ones linked in the Imperium ROM thread are the newest.
And no, it can't be too new.
It's probably something related to your phone model not being fully supported by the ROM.
JDCTeam ROMs should work, because they support a wide range of S4 models.

I got stock rom to work (again again)
And now I managed to flash the JDC Team you recommended and still having the baseband from the stock rom (Which were able to make calls)
But whatyaknow.. I STILL cant make outgoing calls on the custom roms! What in the world can be the problem? I spent the whole day on this.

.. I should be able to make outgoing calls without flashing Gapps, right?

Yes, you should be able to make calls without gapps.
You flashed the latest stock rom and confirmed everything works?
You confirmed the model number in download mode?
