Hi there! I was excited to get S5830IXXLK3_S5830IBTULK1_BTU firmware from samfirmware.com and flash it and use the latest custom kernel from Rafael.Baugis with it.
When I flashed 201212101860-E3-boot.img it completely killed my service. I enter the settings and it reports out of service. I says there is signal strength but I cant connect to the network or anything. I am on 3 (three) [H3G]
I tried 2 other custom kernels also: odin-kernel.tar from hell_lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=20221470 and: PDAnitKernelNoSplash.tar from axyllum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026654)
Neither worked and did the same as Rafael's kernel. I thought a lot about it and tried flashing different basebands etc to see if that changed anything but to no avail I was stumped once again.
I went to a s5839i F/W from samfirmware.com S5839IBULE2_S5839IVOPLE1_VOP and the kernel works fine with that so in conclusion its the latest XXLK3 F/W that stops it working? Did Samsung 'fix' XXLK3 to not work with custom kernels? guess I go back to the old F/W and such :crying:
How can I solve this and get the kernel to work with XXLK3? I tried Alucard1989pl Deodex version of XXLK3 and same problem no service.
EDIT: Tried GT-S5830i Czech Republic 2012 November Android 2.3.6 S5830IXXLK2 S5830IXEZKL1 So far it works so its not the latest but its fine with the customs =D shame about XXLK3 though
I have a s5839i that came with stock BULE2 firmware
It now has XXLK3 (XXLK1 baseband) and it works fine with rafaelbaugis
Samsung will never "fix custom kernels", they directly allow people to modify their kernel by posting the sourcecode on their site
What country and carrier do you have?
Does the stock XXLK3 kernel give you service?
Interesting

I am in the UK and my Carrier is H3G it is also the s5839i PAYG from three.co.uk it orginally had PDA: S5839iXXLD4 CSC: S5839iH3GLC2 MODEM/Phone: S5839iNELD1 but I lost that as I could not/or know how to back up from the phone as its my first Android device and indeed first smartphone too.
Maybe there is a particular bug with my firmware? though, neither XXLK3 nor the deodexed one worked, then again maybe its the CSC?

Yes. I would not have even bothered flashing the custom if it did not
I went to S5830i firmware to get CWM recovery using the David Jacket method but that was the only time it worked as the latest CWM kernels from Raf don't work on my device they jus stick on first screen. The e3 ones are ok though. Kinda buged me as I bought the CWM recovery pro app when I had it enbedded and working not I cant use :crying:
I'm sure there is a bug with this firmware, also see this thread. dNik17, the reason you can't get service even though you have signal is because for some reason, Android refuses to read our device's IMEI number on XXLK3. When your service was dropping out, if you had looked at your IMEI number in phone settings I can pretty much guarantee you it would have been blank at that time.
I have experienced this problem with the stock XXLK3 kernel as well as Rafael's and Hell Lock's. It does seem to be somewhat kernel dependent (and also possibly ROM dependent), for instance if you flash between stock and custom kernels it often fixes or recreates the problem. If you go into testing mode and turn off the radio and then turn it back on that sometimes fixes it also.
However, I think I may even have experienced it with stock ROM, stock kernel. I tried lots of different variations of ROMs and kernels in an attempt to nail down what exactly is going on but the issue seems to be quite unpredictable at times and difficult to repeatedly reproduce. I do know that XXLK3 has an updated stock kernel so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
XXLK2 was fine and had no such problem.
@makeyourself thanks for the info! I am currently reverted to XXLK2 with latest Rafael.Baugis, I gave up hope of it working properly xD. I did have a back up of the partition with the IMEI info in but I did not try restoring it. I backed it up using galaxy toolboox.
I see your cooking a rom!!! good luck with that, I have tried using the kitchen a few times and but I cant seem to get the rom imported properly from the stock rom from samfirmware. I wish you more luck than I had!

Thank you mate, appreciate it :good:. Yeah I did use dsixda's kitchen just to kick things off and deodex the ROM. I use Debian, a Linux distro day-day anyway and I think that helps when it comes to extracting firmwares in tar format etc.
Yeah, the XXLK3 issue is a bit of an odd one, I don't think the efs partition is being corrupted or wiped as the IMEI number comes straight back if you switch kernels / ROMs / firmwares or occasionally just by effectively rebooting the phone. For whatever reason the ROM or the firmware is just refusing to read the efs information that is still sitting there intact. I'm sure someone will work out exactly what's going on soon anyway!
you flashed the "PHONE"(MODEM) in Odin? i think was the Modem.md5 , it comes from other country, i had that problem, just flash the Modem.md5 of my country (colombia)(MODEM_S5830M_WHLE2.tar)

No I don't think it can be that because I'm from the UK and downloaded the UK XXLK3 firmware. But also XXLK2 has the same modem and works fine.

I tried many different modems as I thought that was the logical issue but none worked with the custom kernels and XXLK3. The only time I had XXLK3 working was on the stock kernel. I am guessing that there is some difference in XXLK3 kernel that is not addressed in the custom kernels yet.
I would concur that its a problem reading the IMEI.
XXLK2 (Czech) is working nice for me atm with XXLK1 modem.
I think its wise to stick with the XXLK2 firmware at the moment.
There is definitely something weird with the S5830i, when I flashed the deodexed lk3 from this site it simply refused to boot until I flashed the Rafael img and kernel. It does have perfectly fine service though.

I agree its working nice for me at the moment. I am using the deodexed version from Alucard1989pl :highfive:
I've learned to stay away from custom kernels because each of them are unidimensional - developers use a source code from Samsung that's always incomplete and behind the release, and each dev. works for his device, that might be a S5830c (Rafael), a Chinese S5830i (hell_lock) or the more common among users here Indian S5830i. Guess what? each variant is different, something might work on one (phone book contacts, headphones, signal strenght, 3g) but not on others. That's why I don't approve the use of "universal" next to "kernel" - sure it boots all of them, but do everything works?
I would prefer kernel developers join the android kernel kitchen project, and find ways to add their mods there, so that every user could mod their own kernel.
When it comes to custom roms, you should never flash a full wiping package (repartition) that was not meant for your phone. Always Splitfus the new rom, and replace csc, phone and bootloader with your original ones.
FULL STOCK LG ICS roms V30A & V30B
This is for people that want stock experience with the possibility of root, busybox and init.d support, but don't want the blingbling or tweaks from a custom rom.
These are full stock roms, meaning it is still odexed.
Modifications are help tools and have no effect on the stability and performance compared to a OTA updated.
INSTALLATION
ICS unlocked bootloader required with ICS partition layout.
Custom recovery for ICS.
Full wipe if coming from a different rom.
Install with custom recovery.
It is best to use the V30.. baseband for this.
V30B and V30A are different, first thing I did this morning was check them again.
V30A got more code then V30B , this is probably because V30A needs to support a wider region with more providers.
The strange thing to me is that LG gave it the same Baseband number 1035.21_20121130.
So it is possible that depending on the region you live in V30B or V30A is better.
To be very clear the ril of V30A and V30B are 100% the same so it can't be that if you get better connection
Note:
These are full stock LG ICS roms with the following modifications.
-Root
(SU 3.1.3)
-BusyBox 1.20.2
(Busybox is installed as primary and not default toolbox)
-Init.d support (Ramdisk modded for this)
For people that want to use scripts, like V6Supercharger or any other that needs init.d.
Folder is already present in "system/etc"
-Data mounted in EXT4 like the rest of the system.
(Ramdisk modded for this)

-Side info , these roms are fully based on the stock KDZ files that I extracted and pulled the full system from it and turned it into a cwm flashable package.
I used spyrosk Toolkit for it and kitchen with .img extraction tool. This way I got a clean boot.img and system dump .img that I then turned into a system build folder.
The same way I build my custom roms
-Every one that wants can use these roms as a base for a custom rom that they want to build.

Both 30A and 30B are distributed multilanguage even each of them has a different region distribution.
Thai language is already included in 30B, the same of Italian used by me.
Civato, maybe you should explain in your first post that region does not mean multilanguage options.

First,
you should read a lot my friend.....and get the AIOT....allinonetoolkit, download the baseband (if required)download the ROM....
but i would suggest you to read as it will help you understand this process well....which will help more than anyone else....
Please dont take it as an offense mate

Thanks SREEPRAJAY.
I already have problem with allinonetoolkit, I know how to do it but I should upgrade baseband and also i should change partitions from old to new layout and after all I will use cwm to install this rom.
However I confused that which one should be first? Upgrade baseband or change partition.
the second one first mate
Then flash BB then ROM,
Hope it is ok

How stable is this, my missus has the 2x and is constantly having problems she's been telling me today that she's already had to do a battery pull 4 times today because the instability.
All I need is a rom that's solid and stable and just works I don't care about fancy tweaks and speed just save me some ear ache Is this the rom to try?

This is full stock with no tweaks , only help tools like full root , init.d and busybox. These things have no effect on stability.
If you got problems with this you got a problem with your phone.
I've not flashed this rom I've used others and others have not been stable hence why I was asking how stable this one actually is, is the stock good enough to be used as a daily driver? After all LG have not been known for their bug free stock roms in the past I mean no offence to the quality of your work just wondering how good LG's latest version is.

Hello everyone,
Recently I have upgrae my phone to CM 7.1.0-X8 (with kernel 2.6.29.6-nAa-11).
Unfortunately I have a problem when I try to browse mobile networks: an error appears (message 'Error while searching for networks'). I cannot log in to a network different than my own (this will cause problem with roaming abroad).
On another forum I have noticed that someone came across this problem on HTC phone and change of a library file (libhtc_ril.so) helped in that case but I neither have this library in my installation, nor it is a SE phone.
Can anyone help in this case? Thanks a lot in advance.

Yep, I'm using CM7 official Shakira version. Having read your post I'm wondering at the following issues:
1. What are the differences between official CM7 I have installed and Mini CM7?
2. Basically - current instalation works fine, apart from the network selection. Perhaps it would be sufficient to replace a specific library in my installation with another one from Mini CM7 version?
3. Is Mini CM7 better than normal CM7?

Official CM7 is pretty old and discontinued. You can think of MIniCM7 like an update that started when the Official CM7 for the X8 ended. So MiniCM7 is probably better in every way (I say probably because I have never used the Official CM7, but you never hear some one recommend the Official CM7 over MiniCM7). Also a lot of other ROMs are based on MiniCM7 so that says something. Replacing a library will be more complicated than switching Kernel and ROM and who knows if it will even work, you might end up breaking it more than fixing it.

I need some clarification regarding android and radio baseband.
I'm running latest cm-11 nightly and my baseband version is XXUEMK1
Is this radio included in the cyanogenmod ROM or is it a separate partition that wont get updated with a ROM flash?
I've found the thread with a list of different radio ROMS for the i9305. Are these optimized for different countries or will they work regardless of country?
Is there a way to backup my current radio if I want to try a different radio and need to revert? XXUEMK1 is not listed in the thread with all the ROMS.
Found some information in another tread:
Baseband / Modem / Radio - This is the software that manages your connection to wireless networks, be that voice or data. Unlike unrooted users, you can download and flash any number of i9300 (Versions for other models WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE) or i9305 radios pulled from official ROMs. I wouldn't waste too much time on them. Usually what your official ROM comes with in your country / for your carrier, is the most optimised for you. Try a few by all means but don't waste time testing every last one.
Be aware that Samsung official ROMs come with a baseband. Often this means Samsung based custom ROMs may also do so. Some ROMs which install using the Aroma installer (A kind of set-up wizard) may give the option to not flash the baseband. AOSP ROMs almost never come with a baseband. When you flash a ROM withotu a baseband, the previous baseband remains. You can by all means, mix and match ROMs and basebands. You are not tied to the baseband with the same build number as the ROM. For example, if you are on XXEMB1 ROM, you definitely do NOT have to stay on the XXEMB1 baseband.

Hello xda Community,
I've downgraded the baseband on my p880 to v10h due to some issues with GPS and provider signal.
I've used some custom roms before and the issues appeared at some update when I was on MoKee rom but I can't remember which update it was. The downgrade improved the phones performance and I have no issues with GPS and signal.
My Question: If I Flash a custom rom, - will it also update my Baseband? Say I'll flash a 4.3 Rom (I'm currently on 4.0.3) will it update my Baseband aswell to v20x?
Thanks in advance.

Don't think so. I haven't even really seen any indication that the community understands HOW to update the baseband firmware. This phone has the radio on an entirely different chip with dedicated flash and ram for it. There are soft switches to throw (look but do not touch) in the hidden menu that switch the USB port over to it for flashing but nobody seems to know how to make use of that knowledge other than the official LG utilities. Flashing a third party ROM is entirely about replacing the unencrypted/unsigned partitions on the main application processor's flash.
