Dear Techies,
After 7 months of use, I have tried upgrading my Samsung WIN (GT_i8552) DUAL sim to Kitkat reading some posts in internet, It didn't work.
"Odin Showed Failed"
I have flashed it back to Stock ROM using ODIN,
Everything went fine except Mobile Network. The network is very low and I started getting missed call alerts. The signal strength is too low most of the time and shows not registered on network while making calls.

Then I tried it upgrading using Kies, it went well but still the low or no Network Signal persit, Its there on Both the Sim Cards

To your information, there was no change in IMEI Number, Its indeed the original IMEI number , Device Status : Official, Baseband Version: I8552XXAMJ2.

Im sure the techies out here will be able to help me..

Please let me know if you need anymore information.

Thanks a lot in Advance

Jacob:(
 
Bring it in to Samsung (in the US, to a Samsung Experience center at a Best Buy) and ask them to reflash the phone (reflashing is free). If it still gets weak signals, they'll probably advise you to send it back to the factory. In that case, I'd try the carrier first - they may have refurbs and will swap the phone out on the spot. If not, you can then send it to Samsung.
