[Q] Lost Phone Signal on Flashing ROM - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
Since I am new, I cannot post on the development groups. I was installing a ROM on my friend's S Advance. Whenever I flash a ROM, I am able to install everything properly but I have lost my mobile signal completely . I cannot make calls or send messages, the SIM works fine on other phones. What could be the problem here?
In Phone Status, it shows :
Network : Unknown
Signal strength : 0 dBm 99asu
Mobile Network Type : Unknown:0
Service Status : Radio Off
I have an Indian version of the phone, Baseband : i9070DDLK2
I tried looking for Radio files to Flash, but cannot seem to find it anywhere on XDA,
Please please help me out. Thank You so much for reading. Please let me know how to make it work.

What ROM did you flash?

Flashed this ROM :

I tried flashing a few other ROMs too. Same issue with them.

NOOOOO
These roms can be flashed ONLY over JB 4.1.2 firmware! You have GB.
Please first upgrade to JB and then flash this rom!

Whoah! Okay
I tried flashing a stock firmware over ODIN from a link with stock firmware files. Phone went into a bootloop. Could you please forward me to a link with the firmware I should flash? Thanks

Did you make a factory clean? It will boot up!

Yes. Factory reset in recovery then rebooted in download mode and flashed via Odin

What FW did you flash? 2.3.6 or 4.1.2 ?

I tried flashing this :
I9070DDULP8_ODDULP8_India_Android_4.1.2 Since the following were the only 2 available for India on the XDA links and the others I found, I thought I'd give it a try :
REGION: INU (India) | PDA: I9070DDLJ1 | CSC: I9070DDLJ1
DOWNLOAD
REGION: INU (India) | PDA: I9070DDLI1 | CSC: I9070DDLD4
DOWNLOAD

Then I figured out it won't work for i9070DDLK2 so I'm trying to reflash to stock 2.3.6
If you know where I could find a 4.1.2 link for i9070DDLK2, do let me know. I'd be grateful

No.. ddlk2 is 2.3.6 and ddulp8 is 4.1.2
First u need to flash ddlk2 which is 2.3.6 and then flash ddulp8 which is 4.1.2!

Okay. Thanks for clarifying. All these baseband versions on Samsung have me thoroughly confused.
I am pretty new to Samsung devices when it comes to rooting. Really appreciate you clarifying it.
Actually I had jumped from Firmware 2.3.6 to a custom ROM on 4.2.2 and then tried jumping back to Firmware 4.1.2 and hence the bootloop was occurring. (It's kind of making some sense now )
Thank you so much for clarifying, didn't read it clearly on blogs I guess, my bad. Firmware 2.3.6 is on download. I'll do a clean install of the firmware on ODIN and then try 4.1.2 and then custom ROMs. Thanks

Yes. And don't need to say 'Thanks', just HIT it!

All i want to know is that
#1 The phone will be arriving with a stock indian gingerbread firmware..Can i flash any country's jellybean firmware onto this stock firmware via Odin 3.07..??
#2 If 'YES' what firmware would be most useful??...( what about the official indian JB FW DDULP8??..because i have already downloaded it )
#3 Does 8GB and 16GB FW differ??
#4 If i flash the indian JB FW .. will i be able to install any JB ROM ( like JetMod,JellyMod ) in that firmware or are ROMs firmware dependent??
#5 The same goes for Kernels...Are they FW dependent or i can just install any JB kernel ( like cocore 6.0 and thunderzap , etc ) on any JB FW..??
This is the Final noob question..
#6 I know that the Binary count reset method by Shaan work on any JB FW...but specifically will it work for the indian official JB FW DDULP8..??

Yes, you can flash INU fw using odin and it doesnt matter ur phone is 8/16gb.
Roms are dependent but they work on different fw's so, dont worry. Just make a nandroid backup from recovery and flash, if by chance u get a bootloop (stuck at logo) you can restore. :thumbup: and kernels are not dependent. Cocore6 works great with Indian fw. And binary wont increase on flashing with cwm/twrp.

Easiest and safest way is flashing through recovery..
There are very less chances of hard brick..Just follow the steps and you should be good.
There are no workarounds for a hard brick.. except jtag repair.. which is usually done in the service centre..

Make sure you know if you have a GT-I9070 or GT-I9070P. You can easily brick your phone putting firmware for on on the other.
try samsung kies update or OTA first.. this way you can experience kies or over the air update..
if its not available, you can do Odin update..
make sure you have atleast 50-80% battery charged..

how to uprgrade i9070 taiwan to jellybean???

hello,, how to upgrade i9070 from taiwan (i9070zlsd1) to jellybean??? because i cant find any JB official frimware for these phone..
i read some tread is danger to cross flashing i9070 from taiwan to other frimware region,,,
thanks for replay
There is NO danger flashing with Odin. But stay AWAY from the China firmware. It caused many phones to be bricked.
DDULP8,XXLQE are very good.
For the steps, refer:

My Device : Rooted GT-I9070

Old thread, but I had a similar problem. I bought my i9070 in Taiwan and got tired of waiting for my carrier to release the upgrade, so I tried a couple of official Samsung Jellybean firmwares. Sadly, there seems to be a SIM conflict between versions of the phone, as none of the firmwares recognized my SIM card (Taiwanese Fareastone), until I tried the official Hong Kong ROM. Works well so far, had it for a month now. Hope this helps.

[HELP]NEED modemfs backup and /lib/tee files (TGY)

As title
I want to try that I9070's baseband can use in I8160 or not.
Because I8160 BRI/TGY still can't update to 4.1.2
I tried to flash CM10.2 and it can work but no signal
So I think if I9070' baseband can use in I8160, maybe it will have signal...
I need I9070TGY's modemfs,efs backup and /lib/tee files
It is better if I can obtain 2.3.6 and 4.1.2 's modemfs
Thanks !

Download I8160 from other country and flash it with Odin. But first check at your forum is it safe. Because if we flash I9070 on I9070P or I9070P on I9070 it cause HARDBRICK.
P.S. You already have CM10.1 for your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2452315
Baseband from I9070 will not work, I am 99% sure.

Thanks for reply.
I know that I8160 already have CM10.1, but I8160BRI(HongKong/Taiwan) still no have official 4.1.2.
If I flash official 4.1.2 from another region ,my phone will got baseband unknown and IMEI will disappear
Alright, keep use gingerbread until Samsung update I8160BRI to 4.1.2 or I buy any new phone.....

Same thing happen to our device when someone is on HK firmware (no baseband when other country fw is flased). Strange... Have no idea why.

[Q] If update official update from different country will baseband change?

Hello guys, i will explain the story in order, sorry for my bad Grammar.
first i have the official GTI9070 but i forgot the baseband (GB)
then i accept software update that appear in notification bar, my baseband become I9070DXLK2 (GB)
and i see there's CM11 out that can make kit kat running in I9070.
but it requires root to install CMW / TWRP..
so hard to find root zip for DXLK2, and then i found one full ROM rooted then flash it with odin.
my baseband still I9070 (GB) but rooted (binary counter++)
after that i flash TWRP with odin too.
then i try flashing CM11 with TWRP.
it success, but no mobile network.
i search at this forum and someone say "no mobile network happen because flashing from GB (2.3.x) directly to KK (4.4.x)"
he said first update from GB to official samsung JB.
the problem, there's no official samsung JB update for my country/region (DXLK2)
my question, if i flash the official samsung JB update from other region.. let say it italy.. will my baseband change?
if it changed, what's the problem and whats the negative impact? what should i do better?
thx in advance.
PS: my device is Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 (Indonesian)

You don't have any negative impact if you flash any stock JB firmware, only with your warranty if you still have one.
Please, follow this guide from point A (JELLYBEANIZATION): [GUIDE] From stock GB to Custom JB (Noob-friendly)
After you updgraded to JB, ask/read some tutorials linked here: [{INDEX of GUIDES/TUTORIALS}] Galaxy S Advance [GT-I9070].
Be sure when you proceed to do something OR ASK before, NOT AFTER you doing something wrong.

Or maybe removed. Try on samsung-updates.com or sammobile.com
In Canada, have XXLK2 (Africa?). Want JB, use UK version?
I bought my unlocked I9070 almost 2 years ago and am thinking about upgrading to Android 4.1.2 (JB).
On samsung-updates there appear to be lots of JB versions for different regions.
Can I just select the one for Britain (XXLQE)? Is there anything I need to check re: compatibility?

Yes you can flash any stock firmware for I9070. Be sure you don't flash firmware for I9070P.

Flashing worked...once I found a .zip file

I had a lot of trouble trying to get the samsung-updates.com download to work (used the free one, which either didn't start most of the time or died during download). Eventually, I took the filename (for Britain) and Googled it, and found a download site that let me download it (required 3 hours).
Armed with the .zip file and ODLIN, it worked like a charm. All my installed apps and data survived, which surprised me. I thought this would be a vanilla install.
