JVK (2.3) on Bell I9000M?

After searching google I've read a few fairly recent articles that say installing 2.3 on a Bell I9000M is possible and they all give a broken link to the forums here. I've checked samfirmware and the only JVK (2.3) firmware they have there is Europe. I'm very computer literate but fairly new to firmware upgrades / messing around with my phone so I'm just wondering would I be able to install European 2.3 firmware of my Canadian I9000M from Bell? Or is there a special release of it that I need to get? I've poked around here a bit but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. The firmware I'm talking about is the I9000XXJVK release. Thanks in advance, didn't think I could have this much fun with my phone.

Been curious myself had nightmares with the last upgrade... Three sgs's from bell. They didn't like that but i was within the 30 days doa clause.

Pretty much any of the stock or custom JVK or 2.2 Roms will run on your Bell Vibrant. I've used Darrky's, Doc's, Ultimate and Serendipity with no problems. Most of the current modems work fine on Bell, although I try to stick with a JL2 modem if I can. It seems to get slightly better signal. Use Doc's Rom Kitchen and you can pick and choose your options including the JL2 modem.

Done and done!. If anyone else is curious head on over to samfirmware and grab the European I9000XXJVK release, working for me atm. About to apply root from the last thread jentech posted. Thanks jen!

JVK upgrades the bootloaders though right? If you install the version without the bootloaders, you will get into a bootloop right? The bootloaders in JL2 is what is preventing the i9000m from getting corrupt SD failures from what I understand. I would really like to know if updating the bootloaders with JVK will open our phones to the corrupt SD thing again. I would love to hear some feedback from i9000m users who have gone to JVK. Like how long they've been running, and especially if there are any i9000m users who have upgraded to JVK and got corrupt SD. I'm not excited of going through yet another i9000m. Thanks!

I would love to know the answer to this question as well!

ive been using criskelo's 2.3.3 rom with no problems... all you have to do is flash stock jvk with bootloaders from odin and then flash a speed mod froyo kernal
after goto cwm and flash the criskelo v25 rom and then get the ugkc1 modem
from criskelo's rom page (page 40 i think cwm 3 compatible)... and flash the rom in cwm and everything willl run awsome... the rom is unreal ive had no problems at all on my i9000m (remember to enable all animations in settings to get the crt screen off effect... runs way smother and faster then froyo....

I too have been running on jvk for the past week+. I've alternated between criskelo and juwe's and am currently on juwe's for the past week with no problems. I changed my modem from the jvk one (poor reception) to the jk4 and it runs as normal. give both criskelo and juwe a try to see which u like better (personally the smoothness and battery life of juwe has won me over) as neither has caused any problems at all once u follow the appropriate steps like those that remenis outlined.

[Q]Bell i9000m can i spoof firmware for 2.3.3?

Hello
Can i use the new gingerbread Build number GINGERBREAD.XWJVB on bell with the i9000m?
just wondering if theres any concerns with spoofing the firmware and using kies to update to this.
do i need to choose a bell csc after i flash or will i need to manualy enter apn? thanks all
im just disapointed with bell being so far behind (still 2.2!!)

I tried yesterday night with NEE code but kies didn't find any update.
I also want to know the answer of this question.

Ok so i did some screwing around with my i9000m from bell seeing as how my little boy fried my last one. Want to load gingerbread you can do it just pay attention to a lot of things. I loaded Juwe's build now here's the key I've got the xwjvb kernel running so far no issues right now the only issue that comes with this rom is the modem doesn't like our towers here in Canada go figure right! but alas you can load the KC1 modem after going through the xwjvb build aka gingerbread it works. take a look at Juwe's rom it's well worth the effort and looks great! Good Luck out there!

I'll have to try that one

if you want to use Kies you will probably have to wait a while for Bell to catch up. Bite the bullet, install Odin 1.7 and use it to install the JK bootloaders (see thread) and either the stock deodexed JVK or the Rom of your choice. Using a Rom based on CF3.1 gets you rooted and installs CWM which will allow you to do everything else later without using Odin again. See the help/install for Doc's Rom and the instructions for CF3.1 they are laid out very straight forwardly (and see the q and a sextion) .After, add the KC1 modem if necessary -- I use it and it works great and is the latest modem for BMC (Bell). The reason to load deodexed is that you can that add and change themes as you want. You do not need the Bell CSC stuff. Couple of good guides now posted: seems a little daunting at first but works fine. Read first and know there's lots of people here to help: got a lot easier once I leanrt the SGS is actually very hard to kill completely: most locks are just a soft brick!

Baseband?

Okay I got a question about Basebands, I have the UK version of the Milestone But I live in the states, In Iowa. Is there a different baseband I should be using? Cause I've never seen a baseband in any of the lists I've found for north America or anything like that.
Argentina-Personal.zip
Brazil.zip
Canada.zip
French.zip
Germany.zip
Isreal-Celcomm.zip
Italy.zip
Singapore.zip
Telus.zip
Thai.zip
Venezuela-Movilnet.zip
That's about all I've seen for basebands. If someone could clear this up for what the baseband actually does and what I SHOULD have that'd be great thanks. You can see my current Baseband in my signature.

I guess baseband is more like, what fits you best.
If i'm wrong please correct me, but if you'r getting good reception its all good.

I also am in Iowa-Sioux City, and have found that the Singapore basebands are the only ones that work here, tried them all after I flashed a rom that changed my baseband. I believe that the baseband sets thew acctual frequencys that your phone uses,there are many in each of the bands that are avaible.

too bad for me
i think i lost my baseband?
it shows me a "no service" my milestone cant detect my simcard's network
..... help please...

hey, where could i found this Venezuela-Movilnet.zip baseband? i really want this to use my 3g network on my xt720

There are two things about baseband: the baseband software and baseband configuration.
Baseband software (I don't know much about this, sorry...) may be in your system rom somewhere and you flash it with a zip file. In Eclair you'll see software and confugiration version in "About" page, but since 2.2(?) you'll only be able to see software version. I don't think this differs much for each people. You can find the latest(?) here:
code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod4milestone/downloads/detail?name=update-bpsw-MSG39UPEU_A1.19_0.90-I4.zip
(sorry, I couldn't post outside links...)
Baseband configuration (located in /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/), according to my understanding, is to interpret GSM signal to something your phone can read. This is more like what fits you best. For example, with a baseband config from stock 2.1 rom my phone works well in the basement, but with another, it may show "no carrier".

i9000 modem trouble

Hello every1,
I have an i9000 with 4.1.1
3.0.42-00746-g6564605-dirty Devil3_1.3.1_Hellybean_cappy_CFS_BLN_CMC #524 Kernel version
i9000XXJVT Baseband version
that drives me nuts, because i have poor reception of wireless signal.
I`m not good at this, and i don`t want to mess it up, so i am at your mercy to fix it. I assume that whoever upgraded it to 4.1.1 *i recently bought it of Craigslist), did not put the correct modem in it (my carrier is AT&T prepaid).
Pretty please tell me what i can do to change my reception for the better.
Thanks a LOT
