Hi guys,
I tried Vanir on my Xcover2 and everything looked to work perfectly except...the network (to make phone calls and send SMS, well, to use my phone outside my home, I mean..)
My location is France and my provider is SFR..if anyone has a successfull solution, I will go back to Vanir ROM (I reinstalled the official ROM, so I cannot install more than 4 apps before the system is full...)
Thanks !

From looking at your post you too got them working? If so im glad it worked cause this is rom is just perfect compared to stock 4.1.2. :laugh:
Hey BallStone. I didn't got it, that it was you, who wrote before. I didn't noticed it in Tapatalk App
So you still have the problem, that there ist no IMEI after flashing Vanir? Is that right?

Yeah. I had those problems but also figured out the solution to this and i have everything working now exept my baseband is XXXX but havent noticed any downsides of that so i have perfectly working vanir on my skomer.
Ah, ok. I have another solution for this. I first flashed the prerooted XXAMB6. Then I flashed CWM and updated ist to 6.0.4.7 by zip and then i flashed Vanir. Now I have it working with XXAMB6 baseband.
It's nearly all fine, but sometimes there a some "mysterious special functions" like a bootloop in the morning, several apps crashing random (especially GAPPS) like Chrome, Camera, Gmail, Services... but just sometimes. I don't know why. There are also some days, when nothing happens and everything seems normal. This confuses me a little.
wow that sounds so much simpler than my method =) maybe i should try that... i havent had any problems with any apps or gapps and no bootloops whatsoever only bb-xxxx, but maybe our phones got mind of their owns and what works for you wont work for me and vice versa idk.
I can confirm that flashing the XXAMB6 modem will work. Because all the warnings I read everyhwhere I didn't try this with XXAND2.
-First I flashed CWM to the phone, reinstalled CWM to the Vanir suggested CWM.
-Next rooted the phone with SuperSU.
-I flashed the S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXXAMB2_NEE (from sammobile.com) image to the phone usin ODIN.
-Booted to recovery, wiped all userdata and then dalvik cache
-Flash the newest vanir (4.4.4.090814)
-Installed the pa_gapps pack
-And then again reinstalled SuperSU from zip
There are steps that are redundant, but since I am a newbie on Android, I just write this to help others.
I would post this to Vanir main thread, but because I just joined I cannot.

I have the same problem with Vanir. Phone says "No service. Emergency calls only", but it still recognize what is my operator (DNA). Last night on home I tried manually search networks, phone find DNA but says something about "can´t connect on this time, try again later". Today morning on home phone did not find that DNA network at, and on workplace it did not find any networks.
Now I flash everything like that guide above. Network connect is good with S7710XXAMB6_S7710OXXAMB2_NEE rom, but now with Vanir same thing, "No service. Emergency calls only". I think my phone with Vanir not "listen" the antenna on full power or something about that.

Is there any help on my problem? Now I'am tried about 8 times flash the Vanir, sometimes I'am flashed first older rom sometimes tried csc-change. Nothing seems to help. Always samething "no service", some places it seems to find networks but cant connect. With original rom there is right service everywhere with 3G.
I tried that, too, but to avail: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=56255200&postcount=13
So all I need to do is downgrade the modem firmware? I thought that is what stored is in /modemfs/ and by copying it from stock we're back in business? Or is the more recent firmware incompatible with current KitKat and only older firmwares have something that works on KitKat??

Mind this: My stock modem is a XXAND2 but I had to downgrade to XXAMB6
1. Apply ODEX XXAMB6 (not! XXAND2) according to @TheBoegl root guide
2. Reboot to ODEX
3. Apply ODEX 20140112_cwm-6.0.4.6_skomer_fixed.tar.md5
4. Reboot to CWM
5. Apply cwm_skomer_test2.zip (CWM 6.0.4.7)
6. Reboot to CWM
7. Apply vanir_skomer_4.4.4.101714.zip + pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20141019-signed.zip

GSM signal problems
Hi,
I'm pretty new to the forum so I couldn't post on the main thread about Vanir 4.4.4 for xcover2 but maybe someone here can help me.
I've tried everything that's written about it in the main thread and I still have intermittent GSM signal (doesn't matter if 3G or 2G). And now even reverting back to stock ROM doesn't help, it's intermittent even on stock ROM. I did the procedure with flashing to XXAMB6, applying set of commands in terminal and then flashing Vanir. The "find" command was not working so I did this set. No improvement. Signal goes up and down in places where it should be stable on maximum.
Have I done some deep changes to efs / modemfs that even reverting back to stock doesn't help? Are there any commands that could fix it or is the hardware now damaged and I need service?
Please help.

Take control of SIM card
I couldn't get the mobile network to work, but stumbled over this great video "Install working Vanir to Samsung Xcover 2" by Jotainkivaa123 on YouTube.
It's a problem with the ownerships.
In an abd shell with root permissions:
shell commands:
find /efs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
find /modemfs/|while read s; do chown radio:system $s; done;
chmod -R 777 /efs/
chmod -R 777 /modemfs/
reboot
YEESSS! Everything works! Thank you Jotainkivaa123!
