Upgrading an I9000T to 2.2?

I got one of the Brazil/LatinAmerica I9000T phones running in the US/AT&T 3G:
Product code GT-I9000HKTTTT
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4
Im concerned that upgrading may screw up my radio files. My phone has the 3 US/AT&T 3G bands 850/1900/200 that most of the I9000s dont. Can I just upgrade the PDA to a 2.2 ROM and leave the PHONE/CSC as is? If so can I upgrade that PDA to ANY ROM?
Im also concerned that since I have the latin american phone with brazil firmware on it, and it says on bootup that its a I9000T but its not the I9000B model that the MUST READ describes as a brazil model... So Im not sure what all pit files and ROMs that are safe to use.
Optimally, when I do upgrade to 2.2, should I try to use a MODEM and CSC file from the US/AT&T/Captivate 2.2 files, and use whatever PDA ROM I choose? That seems in my head to be what to shoot for but I'm still figuring things out here...
Also, Im confused... these ROMs Im seeing are installed via update.zip, not by the ODIN method. Will I screw up my phone by installing these update.zip files?
Is there a free method to totally back up my PDA/PHONE/CSC into individual files that could be restored later?

Hello Friend.
I have the same version of phone, and I´m looking to for "original" firmware.
You've got the original firmware?

Did you guys found a solution for.. i also have the same version...

I downgraded to 2.1 with the i9000T stock rom
Now that 2.2.1 is out for the i9000HKTTTT (i9000TUBJP9), I wanted to see if KIES would now work. After downgrading to 2.1update 1 using ODIN ,everything appears work fine on the phone. I tried updating to 2.2.1 via KIES and still get the message "This Device's version can't be upgraded" . I tried this on a few different computers with KIES 1.5 & 2.0 and no luck.
I did do a Factory reset *2767*3855# , but still no luck.
All information on the phone appears to be OK for 2.1 update 1.
I did notice in Kies if you apply the Registry Patcher and use code CWW, you will get a different message which shows that it's currently up to date. Maybe meaning, Jamaica has not received their updates yet.
Any ideas. Very frustrating. Just trying to get this phone back to stock so it can receive updates when I give to another family member.

GT-i9003
By any chance any one have a link for the latin America Stock rom for the I9003... I write in this tread since is the closer one I found about LatinAmerican Roms.
It sims there are only Europeans, Asians, Arabic and the US rom.
I installed every one and each of them. the signal was fading in and out, and I was only getting edge.
so any one with the I9003 Latin america Stock Rom?

So its JPP modem compatible with the USA or not? I keep reading different info

Hi!
On one thread I read the JPP is only European then on the other it says European and US so has anyone used JPP on the USA without issues? It was rated highest in the thread that listed it as USA so I am hoping it works.

depends on the service coverage in your area. if your area is mostly all 1900, then you shouldnt have any problems with it

Jpp will work but you have to follow certain steps that noone can fully explain why it works.
Flash to stock
Flash jg8 modem
Flash jpp or jpm
These modems have support for 850 but for wherever reason it is only enabled by flashing the magical jg8 modem first.
Prior to the latest modems, this is what we had to do in order to use i9000 roms when 850 was needed.
After flashing the jg8 modem, allow the phone to boot and obtain a signal, them put the jpp modem in the rom zip in place of the modem.bin that is present. All these modems can be found in the modem thread which I am sure you know of.

Yeah I recall that process before. It seems that at home I dont use 850 but if I am at work I need it. So I cannot just flash JG8 with my current ROM and then JPP I need to go to stock? What stock is this cause stock would be Eclair so not quite sure here

Noone knows why this works but it is the only method that is proven. I don't believe flashing the modem over your current setup will work but you can give it a shot.

CWM flashable radios?

Hi,
I'm under the impression that the radio is different from the modem, therefore my previous efforts to fix a problem with the auto-connection to HSDPA/3G were somewhat in vein. If I am correct in this, it could be the reason that my "phone information" settings won't stick (revert to default) and my phone, once connected to EDGE, will not automatically reconnect to HSDPA/3G.
Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of CWM-flashable radios? If needed, I am on the AT&T network (U.S.) with the international GT-I9000. ROM and kernel are in the signature, modem is JPY but flashing to the U.S. modem made no difference.
Thank you for your help or even your attention on the matter. I plan to write this up as a tutorial for this very problem should this solve the issue which I believe it will.

All the information you need is here:

It's telling me it's a bad link. I'll try to receive it through search and post the link if I get it.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945
I flashed JPP to see if that can fix the issue as it's compatible with the U.S. I'll edit again once I go outside in order to see if it auto connects to HSDPA once I'm out there. It's a good test IMHO as I only have the 1900mhz band of wcdma therefore it doesn't penetrate the walls of my place of work.

edited the post above to fix the URL

I went out and checked. It still requires me to go into wcdma only and then back to wcdma/gsm in order to get hsdpa, also, the changes in phone information still don't stick. I need the actual radio file in a CWM flashable zip. Also, after changing modems to JPP, speed test doesn't work. I'll just uninstall from the market and re-install since the data connection is still works and see if there is any improvement on that front.

Which one is the radio file as opposed to modem file .

EDIT: It's in the modem but not included with the modem as far as I know. Specifically, I need to flash a new Radio Image zip file. I found some through cyanogenmod but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to use those as they may only be working with cyanogenmod ROMs.

Modems and CSC files flash from an update zip via the rom kitchin .

I edited the post. Those modems don't contain an updated radio image or any radio image, i think. It's more a matter of finding the right radio image file to flash.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940095 It's midway through the first post. I'm not sure if I should flash it with Darky's ROM or not since it's cyanogenmod but I think as long as I switch to the JPY modem it should be fine.

Interesting.... I did some reading on the kitchen modems and apparently they flash a new radio image in the modem where others don't. I looked at my status through "about phone" and my IMEI SV changed from 01 to 02. When I get back outside to where I know I have HSDPA access, I will report on whether this fixes the lack of auto connect to HSDPA from EDGE.

There is no such thing as a radio for galaxy s devices, that is a htc phone term.
Instead, we have modems. The issue you're talking about is probably rom related.

So, you're saying a re-flash of the ROM then.... I think I've had this issue since Darky's 9.2 and I've flashed through the betas and I'm on 9.3 stable now. I have also done a wipe but not a repartition in Odin. I think Odin is a cleaner install then CWM but it's just so convenient to flash right from the phone. I guess I'll do that then.
Thanks.

what modem file should I use?

Which modem file should I choose when installing the Overcome ROM? the info for my PDA and Phone both start with P1000, I'm thinking I should choose the JMF Modem but what if I choose to go with a carrier eventually and I want to use AT&T will this modem effect it? and can I choose the AT&T modem file which would be the JK3 Modem or would that brick my tab? please, I would greatly appreciate any one who could answer me back quickly I'm trying to flash this ROM as im typing this have ODIN ready to go and just waiting to see what my best bet is with these Modem files. thank you

JMF modem works well with almost all carriers including AT&T. Only T mobile US is problematic. If you have signal or data transfer issues or the jk3 works better for you then flash it.

[Q] I9000 Compatible Modem that supports UMTS 850

Hi all,
I've been searching around in XDA and Google for info but can't seems to find anything useful.
The I9000 that I'm using, doesn't support UMTS 850 (also known as Telstra NextG), which I thought can be enabled by replacing the Modem/Radio. So I looked around on how to do this.
I tried the keys to "enable" the 850 but doesn't work.
So my only option is to replace the modem/radio.
Anyone kind enough to show me what is the latest modem/radio that supports UMTS 850 by default for I9000 and how to replace them, eg. is it the "phone" and "CSC" file?
I'm noob but knows how to use odin. Just wanted to be sure on how to replace it properly.
Just to clarify as well on below as the info I'm getting is always patchy.
* Is the Radio/Modem from other models or similar models, are compatible with each other?
* Radio or Modem means the same?
* In Odin, PIT file is the partition information required when you are re-partitioning, is that right?
* In Odin, Bootloader is kernel file, is that rigtht?
* In Odin, PDA file is the firmware itself, is that right?
* In Odin, what PDA stands for?
* In Odin, Phone file is the Radio/Modem, is that right?
* In Odin, CSC is the location aka branded phone, is that right?
Apology for all the questions but noob needs information
My phone specs below
Model: GT-I9000
Android ver.: 4.0.4
Baseband: I9000XXJVK
Kernel: 3.0.8-g4dc1367pinky-ghost
ROM: MIUI-2.5.11
Cheers,
John

Some modems are compatible with other devices but not all.
*Radio/Modem are same things.
*Yes, PIT file is partionning info required in case of re-partitionning.
*Bootloader isn't kernel file, it's the thing who order the phone booting (get verification).
*In Odin, PDA is the kernel file.
*In Odin PHONE is the firmware himself.
*In Odin,the CSC square is the modem/radio file.
This questions can appear silly but it's the only way to learn, all masters passed by this path ^^.
To use your UMTS mode try this Modem and reply me results :

For me UGJL2 Or UGKG3, or if you have so much luck you can use TUMJP4(I didnt had success searching it), the first two are fine though. Google them and flash them with clockworkmod recovery.
