Hi all,
I am new to android but I used to mod my motorola V3 and also jailbreak my iphone so I am not a complete n00b
Thing is I just flashed [ROM] Release: I9000XWJM9 - MultiCSC(s) Europe to my phone. It is a Spanish i9000 GT galaxy S. The flash went well and the phone works, it is fast and smooth. But now I have some issues.
1. There is no 3G, (I can make calls but no data)
2. I can't send text messages (I can receive them but not send them)
3. Cant' root it - I have gone through the process several times, it says rooting phone, but then in applications there is no superuser logo. I downloaded Titanium backup to restore my apps and it says that the phone is not rooted???
Where have I gone wrong?

Did you create the APN settings?
you need to configure the APN before you can get 3G and MMS

Hi and thanks for your reply. No I didn't create the APN settings, I thought it was something to do with carrier settings. Could you please post me a link to information on how to do this...
Any thoughts on why I can't root my phone?
Update: Thanks for the tip, I did a quick search and located the APN settings for my carrier. I still can't root my phone though which is strange. It goes through the motions but there is no superuser icon????
[Resolved] Flashing different rom
Thanks for the help, I downloaded the same ROM but from samfirmware and then I flashed it using a generic CSC file and I had no problems rooting it.

hi..i have the same problem. I do not have the 3g in my phone i dont know why. can you tell me what rom did you install?
Ok so I'm running Darky's 7.5 ROM just loaded it and it's flying . i'm having issues connecting to my carrier. I"m from canada and run on a network owned by Sasktel. We get our phones from Bell and our current release is JL2 I think. I was running this ROM fine but wanted to see what all the hype was about .
Now the only problem i'm having is I can't register on my network and thus my phone isn't working as a phone, lol. can someone help me set it up. here are the frequencies we run on.
SaskTel
GSM - N/A
UMTS/HSPA - 850/1900
I went into the APN and set that up so I should have data I just need to get registered. I can see the network Sasktel but it wont let me register. I get the exact message when clicking on it
"Registering on Sasktel......You SIM card does not allow a connection on this network"
any help would be great, thanks
I tried going in here *#2263# but didn't know what to pick so I left it to automatic
I don't know.
When you flash back to official firmware, everything works fine again ?
This may sound funny but try 'sim unlock' your phone.
after flashing, your phone might have reverted back it's original lock which is to BELL.
I agree with the other reply stating for you to have your phone unlocked.

I unlocked my phone a while back and it's unlocked still, Network lock = off. and yes flashing to other roms specifically for my phone will work fine on the network. Is this because Darky's ROM is based on a European ROM JPY and i'm supposed to be running a Canadian ROM JL2?
Hi. I have a SGS straight from Sasktel here in SK. I checked my setting under 2263, and it is automatic (top one). After I checked it, it lost cellular connection for about a minute, then eventually came back (phew!).

awesome what happens when you go back into 2263 and click on the wcdma band, which ones are stared in there?I have 2100, 1900 and 900 starred but 850 is not.....Also could you post your APN settings. those are in settings, wireless network, mobile networks, access point names and then click on the inet.stm.sk.ca one and if it's not too much for you could you post them up here along with the wcdma band settings. Thanks bud
can we actually install darkys rom on BELL vibranat i9000M
i would like to find out if darkys Rom works with Bell vibrant thats i9000M from canada ?
well his rom is up and running fine yes, I just have to get the right setting to run on my carrier....I own a i9000m it's a bell phone that my carrier gets supply from. So yes his rom works great on this phone, it's so fast, I might try flashing a modem for the canadian phones and see if that works i'll post back
SOLVED - Sasktel (Bell) running Darky's ROM
So I figured it out, I was running JL2 and then flashed speedmod kernel to get 2e. I then upgraded to Darky's 7.5 ROM, when that came up I was unable to get on the network. I was getting an error "Sim doesn't allow connection on the network" error when looking in providers. anyways, I just flashed the JK3 modem and i'm back on the network with Darky's rom
I grabbed the modem from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237
I used JK3 because they were having issues with JK4 bricking for some reason and didn't want to risk it. now to just get JL2 modem some how
There is a JL2 modem floating around somewhere.
I am also running jk3 modem with xxJPY, love my phone now.
No more bridling issues

It's very simple, TURN OFF ANY/ALL lag fixes!!!!! Back your **** up. then you can begin
You phone should be unlocked but might not have to be.....mine was, you can grab sgs unlocker form the app market also, You have to be running 2e recovery. so check on that first by powering your phone off, wait till it's actually off, froyo vibrates when it's shut down. After it's off, hold volume up, home button and power till you see the i9000m then let it go. it should boot into recovery. If you were running Froyo then you will have a 3e recovery, we need 2e. Also you should check and make sure you can get into download mode, by powering off, volume down, home and power key. If you can't get inot download mode you have to fix that first. if you can proceed:
So grab the recent stable speedmod kernel from hardcore here DON'T get the development version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=speedmod
depending on how you want to flash grab either the CWM or the other one which needs to be flashed via odin. Flash either or and your phone should boot with 2e. follow the instructions hardcore has posted and make sure you hit the thanks button for him .
After we have 2e installed you can grab Darky's ROM located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
I used the non wipe one and didn't have issues, make sure you back your **** up before flashing anything. If you notice battery drain after you flash you could flash the wipe version just to make sure. anyways, Follow Darky's instructions to the T and dont forget to thank him
After his ROM boots, I grabbed a modem for our phones (bell, sasktel) I used JK3 because the search wasn't working last night but found this morning a link to JL2....i'm not sure if this is legit JL2 because I haven't used it but give it a shot if it doesn't work flash another on top (I can confirm JK3 works)
JL2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1293577837
Grabbed that from a link Samdroid_G_S posted so thank him for that.
JK3: was from docs link located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237&highlight=bell
you can thank him for that. I used JK3 because of the issues JK4 was causing. I wouldn't use JK4 but that' up to you.
again you can use either odin or CWM to flash the modem. once you flash the modem you should be able to register on the network. you might not have internet, so you will need to go in and edit your access point name. Located in your phone here:
Settings | wireless and network | Mobile Networks | access point names
If it is blank click the menu button and New APN, all you need for sasktel's is a name, can be whatever and APN, the APN should be "inet.stm.sk.ca" without the quotes. Leave everything else default and save it. you will have to click the bullet after you created it so it knows to use it. should be good after that. For bell just do a quick google search for bell apn or bell access point name, i'm sure someone has posted on xda also.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone, this is entirely on you if that happens.
Thanks man
That's what I have been looking for . A step by step tutorial how is the rom working for you I will give it a shot . I hope sd card Won't die on me again .I can deal with other problems but what could u do when sd card dies
on u .Thanks!
Hey no problem, by default the voodoo lag fix is disabled but honestly you won't need it.....

Nice, one of the great posts ever on xda. Is there any advantage to running darky's ROM? My SGS on JL2 has been good, and battery life seems awesome now that I turned off automated email checking.

Pretty much preference I guess. I love Darky's ROM but JL2 was good, Darky's seems faster it's built upon 2.2.1 and I read Samsung did some kernel upgrades so that's why it's faster. If you do try it out just make sure you can get into recovery and download mode first.
i can confirm that Darkys rom works, I'm running 7.6 atm. I did notice that the APN settings in my original settings were missing ports numbers for data.
I tried this and it did not work, I still don't have data connection and I am on Bell canada.
Are u still getting text's? If so then you are registered on the network, all you have to do is go into your access point names and create an entry, then highlight it after it's saved. See my post above

Hey!
Soo I'm a total noob and i've looked around but can't seem to find this problem. I flashed a stock 2.3.3 for the samsung Galaxy S I9000M. My phone is originally from bell and I couldn't go on the market and sms that where sent to me shows that it was sent 4 hours ago. I bought it off some guy who unlocked it for me. I'm on the Fido network.
So I got a friend to flash it for me and it's on 2.3.3 I9000xxjvk. And now I can't get the 3G to work and it says i'm roaming. Mind you the market works now and sms shows the right time.
I know it has something to do with the modem. My friend suggested the SP6160_ARIES_DB221110 from :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Now I have odin and the AIO Vibrant Toolbox installed. But i have no idea how to flash that modem. And I don't feel like bricking my phone thats barely a week old.
Please can someone tell me if this is the right modem and a step by step guide for a noob like me to install the modem.
p.s. I have the correct Fido APNs. it's the same one i used when i had it one 2.1
These links will help you out.

Basically you need a Bell Modem. JL2 or KCI will do.
Have you turned OFF Mobile Roaming in the settings .

you guys are life savers.

Now i can't even download from the pc site. and when i go on my phone it tells me
Warning: : your device might not be compatible with android market. Contact your device manufacturer for information.
This is frustrating. I flashed the JL2 modem, should i try the KCI?

I'm not having any problems with the market, though in the past I did install eris market fix. Give it a shot.
Hi,
I have unlocked the att tab long time ago and it was working fine. Then since few days i am messing around with different roms and modems and now my sim is not recognized. Does it means i have locked the device to att because of lot of flashing. Can someone please tell how to check if the att tab is still unlocked or locked. Maybe sim is not working because of wrong rom or modem. Sim working fine in my iphone. I was on rotohammer rom when tab worked like phone then flashed 2.3.3 and lost phone capability. Still has phone icon on the tab. Please need fix.
Thanks,
Hi Tabing.
It is me again.
Are you back on Roto rom now? or in one of the GB rom?
It seems only HyperDroid Androidmeda has the remark by the dev that it has roto unlock commands built in. With that, I assume unlocking is not a permanent thing?
well in my case I went to setting than network then mobile network and changed it to gsm and my cim has been recognized again by the system
just to let you know I was on froyo and I upgraded my tab to 2.3.3
good luck

I rooted my phone yesterday and when my phone wouldn't boot up the rom I installed, I tried to reinstall the backup I had.
After that didn't work, I used odin to flash a stock ROMI downloaded on the internet and it is working now.
The stock rom I downloaded upgraded my phone from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. I don't know if that would make a difference.
So after this was all done, I realised I can't connect to 3g or any mobile network.
Why is this?
How can I fix it?
I live in Ireland so maybe it has something to do with the Stock ROM being from a different country?
Sorry, I am a noob at this kind of thing.
If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
The CSC (what country the rom is from) doesn't matter, I'm running a stock 2.3.6 rom from the UK even though I'm in New Zealand
Try first going into
Settings -> About Phone -> Status.
Scroll until you see IMEI. If this is odd (maybe XXs in the number code or its different), then that explains why your phone can't connect to any network. Maybe from a bad flash- there a tutorials on these forums on how to recover your IMEI.
Also in this menu check your signal status- whether it says "Connected" or "Disconnected" in Network Status or whatever.
Alternatively, go to
Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.
In here are your APNs- the network "gateways" that your phone connects to for 3G and so on. Make sure these are configured correctly- if not, your provider's website should tell you how to set these up nicely.
Hope I helped
