**I know I'm creating a new thread when there is already a consolidated thread for this model**
I've been searching the net for the answers to my problems and i've often found myself founding my key words mashed up in the middle of the Samsung Anycall thread and trying to look for the answer a few pages after intertwined topics. Please create a subforum for SHW-110s, I've spent two days scanning the entire thread and to be honest my brain stopped working after the third page I've read.
Enough about my ranting, here are my problems... I got this phone but all I got from the person who gave it to me is its charger and its case.
1. This korean phone has been known to have the "Invalid Sender" problem thru sms texting right? The fix I've found was to either install the handcent or edit your number. I can't find a phone with such feature and I've installed handcent but it won't send the message at all. I'm in the Philippines and I'm using a Globe Telecom Prepaid Sim. I've tried a Smart Telecom Postpaid Sim Card and the handcent app works fine. I don't want to switch sims, please help...
Solved
According to my friend most Sony Ericsson Cybershot phones have the function to edit your SIM
2. I bought a USB Data Cable, even downloaded Kies from the samsung site but everytime I connect my phone to the PC it tries to install it automatically and it fails everytime. I don't know if I'm missing something, I cannot find this problem being posted by anyone so far.
Solved
thanks to Kr0c0. donwloaded Kies from the korean site instead
3. Is it possible to use the DMB TV in the Philippines?
4. Is it possible to have Swype on my Korean phone? (I'm sorry, i've found this problem posted but I wasn't sure if the response (after several other posts) is the one I should follow, either that or I just couldn't process anything further anymore.
Solved
thanks to Kr0c0. should be possible thru update
5. Can I get Social Hub?
Answered
precious_mew seems we're stuck with the apps currently.
6. How big is the downloaded file if you choose to upgrade through Kies? Does it affect the 3G capabilities of the phone?
I would really appreciate any help. I sooo love this phone and would like to make use of it properly. Thanks in advance ^__^
Model: SHW-m110s
Firmware: 2.1 -update1
Baseband: M110S.DF20.1839.ST
Kernel: 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build#: Eclair.DF21
Hi I'll try to help you out. But I'm no expert. I agree a small corner for the m110s on this forum would be nice.
1. Apparently the iphone is one such phone which can edit your number. There must be one some where?
2. Had this problem too until I installed kies and usb drivers directly from the korean download site.
kr.samsungmobile.com/service/support/down/anycall.software.view.do?modelCd=SHW-M110S should do it.
3. Not sure about this. The Philippines has a dmb service?
4. Firmware DI03 has english swype only. Froyo should bring already korean swype too. When you get kies working your phone should update to this.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

1. So far, none of the people I've known owns an unlocked iPhone.
2. Thanks !! will try to download it right now
3. It doesn't work so I don't think we have DMB service...
4. Can I just directly upgrade to Froyo? are there dangers to that? (I'm not yet quite familiar with roots and flashes)
We should wait for korea to update to froyo (hopefully soon) The froyo available now is for the i9000 which looks the same as our m110s but uses slighty different hardware (like the dmb stuff).
Kies is the official way to upgrade our phones normally but I think you should take another look at the mega m110s thread stickied here. I'm in korea so have had no troubles upgrading firmware but some people out of korea have had problems with their 3g service and possibly other things after upgrading.

uhhh upgrade to what? so Froyo is not yet available for Korea but we can upgrade? ermm >___<
I've installed the Kies from the korean website and I have it up and running, I did some progress so far, it says "Connecting the device" but it keeps on doing that forever... I might still be missing something.
Did you pull down the notification bar on the phone and select connect by usb? Some older firmwares were picky like that. Also turning usb debugging on or off in the usb settings on the phone makes a difference too.
And I mean as far as updating goes. The last time an update for eclair 2.1 came for the m110s was mid september. But it only updates through kies so I assume you can upgrade to that now and froyo when it comes out.

Should i be on the USB debugging mode or not? I mean, my laptop tries to install the new device and fails...
Even with Samsung Kies and the USB driver from the korean website, I'm still unable to connect my phone to my PC T__T
Here is the message I'm getting:
Device driver software was not successfully installed
SAMSUNG Android Modem Ready to use
SAMSUNG Android Networking (CDC/EEM Ethernet) Drivers (WDM) Ready to use
USB Mass Storage Device Failed
SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface Failed
SAMSUNG Android Networking (CDC/EEM Ethernet) Drivers (NDIS 5) #2 Ready to use
I've connected yay !!
Now all im missing are Social Hub, Swype, DMB TV and the updates... also to send sms message thru handcent T__T

I'm also a SHW-M110s from the Philippines. You can just download the apps you need from the Android Market like Facebook, Twitter etc. As for the Swype, it will be available once you've updated your phone. I think the DH-07 has the swype. were you able to install the Handcent SMS?
I installed handcent but it wont send my messages thru Globe.
I'm thinking of upgrading the firmware... are there any dangers to that? I've read some 3G problems... Since you're from the Philippines, what can you suggest?
Have you set up an APN yet? If not, contact your carrier. It'll have the potential to help resolve your text message situation.

APN?
I am able to use handcent using a different provider (Smart Telecom)...
I can text via normal messages but I need to specify the sender everytime
With my current firmware, should I upgrade it to get swype or will it just cause more problems?
Bump, still unsure if I should upgrade... please advise
this post can be deleted.
updated the first post for people who will encounter it in the future. Still got remaining questions though...
Help !! ^__^
At first i thought i got robbed and got myself a fake china phone. I then surfed the web & found out it was a real Galaxy S with a different culture. Well these are my workarounds:
1.) Upgrade to Froyo
2.) Edit your Sim "my own number" to send messages using any phone with sim management
3.) Install Launcher Pro and hide all those korean apps
4.) Install Handcent SMS for 160 char texting
5.) Manually create an APN for web browsing using 3G network
6.) Ignore all the korean characters you see (ringtones,etc.. etc..) hehe! besides, all the apps running on international galaxy S will definitely work on our korean model.

question: what should i have to put in "my own number"?
Hey Everyone, I'm from the philippines too and I somewhat messed up my m110s when I flashed it, now I don't have any service on my phone. would anyone of you know how to fix this or if need a modem file, which one can cater to philippine networks which would be compatible with the m110s?
thanks!
Noob Alert...
So my brand new 7 day old vibrant is not working now. yesterday i was surfing the droid store, and looking for new apps, and installed a text editor, afterwards i made a text file. and saved it, that's when things went awry, I got a force close message, so i figured no big deal, i'll just reboot the phone. Well after cycling the power, now all i get is the initial splash screen saying samsung galaxy s gt-i9000m and it blanks out, then continues an endless loop. Only way to stop it is to pull the battery. the 3 button combo for force downloading works, but the 3button combo to get the recovery menu doesnt.
Question is can my phone be fixed? is it possible to recover the data ie pics/videos i had on it? or is it borked and i need to take it to exchange it.
Technical information
Virgin Mobile Canada gt-i9000m
Hardware Revision 10.11
running Froyo from box, jp6 i believe was the version.
any help/insight you can offer would be appriciated.
I hope i didnt get one with a bad internal SD card.
i doubt that the app you downloaded had anything to do with it. I hade the same prob. kept rebooting, 3button download mode works. 3 button recovery mode didnt, you need to call bell and get it sent away basically.
out of curiosity, did you do a big file dump onto your phone prior to the dead phone issue? like put on a ton of music or movies or images?
call bell. good luck. i am still waiting for mine.
haha.. don't worry!
just reflash using Odin. for details check this out...
http://androidspin.com/2010/08/09/h...oidSPIN+|+Your+No.1+source+for+Android+news.)
oh yeah, i forgot to mention i tried that too.no go!
SD card fail. You're done.
Your Internal SD Card has failed like many other Bell Phones. Use the Search option to find for possible solutions.
Try downloading a JH2 which includes SBL and flash it (stock 2.1 for your i9000M). I believe you should also check the "Phone Bootloader Update" in Odin.
http://www.multiupload.com/EZF1IEZ34H
If that doesn't work, call it in to Bell and do me a fav and report this failure in the i9000M hardware fail poll. This is the first 10.11 fail I've seen.
Good luck.
Well after searching all over the forums, and finding some similar situations and methods used to correct them.
I've flashed my phone probably 12 times, today and nomatter whatrevision or options i use with odin, it always hangs, in some cases, I'd get past the gt-i9000m black screen, to the galaxy s splash screen, but not past there, i9000ugjh2 seems to get me the furthest along @ the boot screen.
Anyone looking to reflash to a different version, before returning i suggest using the i9000ugjh2 image since it resets the model number to gt-i9000m which, maybe be changed by some of the other firmwares/roms
anyways back to the store tomorrow, since i got snowed in today.
Good luck to anyone else, I will post information on the new hardware tomorrow, If it's 10.11 again i'll have to try and force a failure. But we'll see what we see.
This guy seemed to have been lucky and got is supposed dead I9000m working again. Here's his procedure:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905975
Worth a shot.
update
I received my new handset yesterday, it's another 10.11
I'm going to be treating it with kid gloves for the next few days while I'm at work.
Once I get home I will again begin taxing/loading the internal memory with a large amount of data to test it's stability.
New phone details,

Hardware 10.11
Model GT-I9000M
Firmware 2.2
Baseband version I9000UGJL2
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9 - [email protected] #3
Build number FROYO.UGJL2
As for his guide, My previous phone was unable to enter recovery mode, not until i flashed the nutz outta it.
even then his guide was unable to achieve usable results.
i got the same problem , my Phone stuck in reboot loop . its happen when i use some voodoo apps in the market that change the screen i think.
i brought my phone from malaysia.
my Firmware DXJPE.
From what I have gathered... this seems to be a problem that only I have encountered, or at the very least something that I have deemed annoying enough that now I have to solve it... but I recently threw Gingerbread onto my i9000, quite successfully I might add, but I decided I wanted to go back to Froyo until the official release of 2.3 comes out of Samsung, since I am a big fan of "stock".
Problem is, every single ROM (I am at ten and counting) always results in Kies telling me that there is no update available. I have been loading only stock ROMs onto my device, so I am a little confused by this, since even the 2.1 firmwares have given me the same message. I know that, when I had Froyo loaded on stock, the message read that everything was up to date or something along those lines. Having that knowledge just means I won't be able to stop trying to put things back to stock until I see that same message again.
Anyone able to shed some light on what is happening here and how to fix it? Ideally I would love to load up 2.1 Eclair, update to Froyo using Kies and then just call it a day.
(PS. on Gingerbread I am getting some weird "static" screen popping up every time I restart... is that normal? I will take a picture and post it into the Gingerbread review forum if I can capture it.)
i was in a similar boat as you, loading 2.3 was no problem but going back is a pain in the ass.
BE WARNED! I spent nearly a day and i know a fair amount about what im doing, i even had to make the USB jig to force download mode at one point (testing different ideas) so be prepared for some issues.
what i did was use odin to flash stock JL2 (9000M bell version here), with 512 pit and a CSC file from another build (sorry i forget), bootloader update repartition clear efs checked. Thats the ONLY thing i could find to get me back to stock without any internal SD error messages.
IF YOU FLASH THE WRONG THING OR THE FLASHING PROCESS SCREWS UP YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE. Read twice, do once.
See if you can find a stock rom for your area, what your phone came with, with the proper pit file and csc file.
Best of luck, you are not alone. I will definately be waiting for a less buggy leak before i switch back to gingerbread.
Kies reads and looks for the correct software for your product code and firmware tied to the supplying network .Once you install different roms you may change those details and Kies cannot find the correct details on your phone to recognise and match it to a firmware .
Spoof product keys and Kies registry patcher posts may help .

Thanks for the quick answers guys... I shall plug-and-chug a bit more tonight and see if I cannot get something to work... then I will be back to post of my success (or failure).
You can use SpoofFw to trick Kies think you are on an official fw, the let Kies do the stock upgrade for you.
Having quite a bit of trouble getting Busybox installed properly, apparently... SpoofFW always starts up with "BusyBox not found. Spoof not possible." I have installed BusyBox a couple of different times from different sources and different versions... nothing seems to work. Am I missing something?
Also, when loading certain ROMs... the phone doesn't seem to register the modem anymore. There is a 2.2 ROM (forgot which) and the 2.3.3 ROM (without Bootloader) which, unusually enough, are the only ones WITH a working modem. Just tried loading up the 2.3.3 ROM w/Bootloader but the modem file from the non-bootloader version, and that seems to work... weirdly enough.
Since I am betting that there will be a "official" update through Kies to 2.3.x at some point, perhaps I will stick with this... since I am using an official ROM, will Kies recognize my phone properly and offer me an update, or has my product code become screwed up?
Wirebrook. I already replied to one of these today. Same happened to me. flashed back to jpu with a view to using kies to upgrade me to jpy but it wouldn't. So flashed eclair jm1 and kies upgraded me to jpy so I suggest that. You'll have to flash bootloader afterwards though as you'll lose 3 button reboot. But don't panic

Its not an official rom its a Samsung stock rom not the rom that was supplied with your phone . Kies might update it or might not .
You have firmware provided by the original phone seller and product codes hardware id firmware id for that . Kies will see that and update .
But its going to show not the firmware supplied by the original phone seller and tied to product code etc . Then requires you to Spoof Kies for an update .

I'll give it a shot this evening... I have the JM1 firmware glaring at me in the face on my desktop right now, though... not sure that worked right the first time.
@JJEgan
As long as it is all "stock" I am pretty much fine with it at the moment. Not too bothered with having it tied to it's specific product code so much, although that would be nice.

That error message its actually wrong, you get it because nv_data.bin could not be found in /efs folder.
This could be due to a faulty flash where Csc was not applied correctly in recovery on the first boot.
Reflash with Odin is the solution.

@Mossy1963
No cigar whatsoever... Kies simply stated there was no update to be done. Oh well.
@LuffarJoh
Tried reflashing... didn't work either.
Aaaaand to make things weird, that sometimes-working Antenna suddenly started working with an Eclair ROM that it hadn't worked before. Then after a reboot... nothing anymore. And now I have flashed the thing back to Gingerbread and what do you know... no more antenna. I would much rather have a working phone as opposed to a "perfect-stock" phone, so it looks like I might have to get an exchange... and perhaps acquire what I was after in the first place at the beginning of this thread anyways.
Hi, I was wondering exactly the same thing after flashing 2.3.3 today. I just like the idea of being able to plug the phone into kies to get a proper release although, I've no doubt the exact same version will be available for download. Has anyone got any useful info ?
I have a pre-release Galaxy Tab with slightly different hardware (no camera button). I have flashed the stock Telstra ROM and all works fine....EXCEPT...
Whenever the screen times out, or I manually press the power button to turn off the screen...it will not turn back on!
I always have to reboot.
I have tried re-flashing, and also flashed a different ROM then back to Telstra but it does not seem to matter.
Any ideas?
NOTE: I am VERY new to this flashing business so don’t get too technical on me.
As far as I know my galaxy tabs DON'T have camera buttons so I don't know of what tab you have...
If it was a Telstra tab, p1000t ( written on the back near the base) then it runs at 850mHz, if it was a tab from elsewhere then its probably a p1000 and runs at 900mHz.
If you flashed a straight Telstra rom where the modem.bin file hasn't been changed with one compatible to your radio this may cause problems but I wouldn't think it would stuff up the screen...
You need to clarify what have you done, is the tab rooted, is it a custom rotohammer copy of a Telstra rom, what type of tab you actually have... Then we might be able to help....
Ahhh, cool. Sorry for the confusion.
This is a GT-P1000
I am pretty sure it runs on 850 as it was a Telstra device.
It is NOT rooted and did not have anything else done to it. When I got it, it had a very vanilla Android build (didn't even have Gmail). Using ODIN 1.7 I flashed several different ROMs until I found one that worked.
I used gt-p1000_mr.pit
And then the Telstra moddem.bin and TelstraP1000TDVJJ3.tar ROM that I saw posted on this site. They all work except for this on/off issue
I only managed to get one other ROM to work (JHA.tar) but it keeps giving me the "Kernel Panic" error so is not stable. I have tried following the Overcome instructions but they do not work for this either.
Do I need to do something else on this machine to get the Telstra ROM working? Any ideas why it dies every time the screen times out?
Thanks
I'm working with another developer on some issues and we're trying to get the Captivate to respond to some commands. The problem is that when we go to device manager and pull up the Samsung Modem, then go to diagnostics, and hit query modem it always fails. This works for the i9000 he is working with on his side, but not on the Captivate. I've tried multiple computers and still no luck.
Does this happen for anyone else?
Update: I bought a second Captivate on CL for $100 (the guy didn't know he could get much more on ebay). It was still at 2.2. I could communicate with it just fine. I updated it to KK4 and now query modem fails.
Time to work backwards until I find a stock ROM that works.
Update #2:
It appears only 2.2 (KB2) will allow communication with the modem properly. Strange indeed. Now I can continue testing since I know where I have to be at.
Thanks to Adam for his Heimdall package that allows me to get back there quickly.
