[Q] Bell Galaxy S problem post flash - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I flashed darkys newest rom successfully, everything runs very smoothly, however, I now cannot connect to Bell's network. I have Bell selected under the wireless settings but my phone has no H symbol and no bars.
Any ideas? I've tried dialing *#2263# and have it set to automatic.

Have you checked if your APN is still set. Try flashing the JL2 modem, also you can try removing/reinserting SIM Card. If you need the bell APN send me a pm and ill send them to you by email.

Yes, pda.bell.ca is still stored under APN and checked. Taking out the sim card didn't do it.
Thanks for your input.

Install the JL2 modem (latest modem specifically for our phones). You should be able to find it easily with a quick search. All you need is the modem file. Flash it using ODIN. DO NOT repartition or include a PIT file.

I can't seem to find the specific file through searching, would you be able to direct me to it?
Thank you very much!

Just look in the gt-9000m running jpy in the general sevtion and search in the thread thats how i found it

Thanks guys, the phone is working again. I can't believe how much smoother it works with a custom ROM.

[Q] No network connection?

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S from Sasktel sometime in mid-october. This is the first android phone I've ever had, and after a few days i decided to try to root it. The rooting process went fine and I had absolutely no problems with my phone. However, i eventually decided to try a custom ROM. I went with Darky's Raw Steel Edition from this forum but after i successfully installed it (v2.2) I could no longer connect to the data network. I could still make calls and receive texts, but any sort of internet connection wouldn't work. When version 3.0 of the rom came out I installed it but had the same problem. I thought my best option at this point would be to just restore to the stock 2.1 firmware. I wasnt exactly sure what my phone had been on when i bought it, but i decided that I9000XWJM9 from samfirmware would be my best bet. I flashed with odin, and now I have no network connection at all! Does anyone know what my problem could be? Thanks so much to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
Find your apn settings from your provider or google it and it is is this forum aswell where theres list of them just enter your apn settings for your provider manually.
Go to www.tweaker.com and get the settings for ur network

Thanks for the help! However, I'm having some trouble finding the APN settings for sasktel, if anyone could post a link or something that would be great. And gadgetcheck, I think you gave me the wrong link, it takes me to like a media site with nothing about APN settings as far as I can see.

the SaskTel i9000m stock firmware is JH2. If you're going to use a custom rom, use Doc's. That's what I'm currently using, no issues whatsoever (also on SaskTel in Saskatoon ) If you need the apn settings, let me know, and I'll just copy them out for you, but I'm pretty sure Doc's rom already has them, as I never had to add them. Though maybe they just carried over from my JH2 install?

SOLVED - Sasktel (bell) phone running Darky's ROM

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

Bell 850 Band Selection with Darky's rom

I installed Darky's 9.3 rom and believe I may have lost the 850 band for the Bell Canada network. Is there a modem I can safely flash and has anyone else had this issue?
Flash jl2 it's the best one so far, you might have to manually input the access point name....i started with darky's rom's and had to do this every time....that might be resolved by now so start with jl2 and see how it goes!

Thanks for your reply. Did you do this with 9.3 with no issues? Could you point me to the right link so I don't mess this up or is it simply JL2 under the modem thread?
No I haven't done it with his 9.3 but you can just flash the file, unfortunatly I don't have the file as I'm on my phone and not near a computer but post in his thread and ask for the jl2 modem.zip that you can flash in recovery....someone will post

Yes. 10chars.
Thanks, just applied this and *#0011# shows me on band 850. Interestingly the GPS fix was really quick on the previous modem but didn't get a fix on this JL2. Will go see if I can clear the settings and leave it for a bit to see if it will work. Prior to Darky's Rom my GPS would never work properly either.
Thanks again.
hi there, I am having the same problem, but I flask with the attached zip file and when I go to choose WCDMA with 850, it said the menu does not exist?
anyone can help please?
Still Nothing
Hey All:
I am hoping that someone can help me here. I flashed in Darky's 9.5 rom and it looks to be going well except that I cannot get the data network to start. I am on a I9000M (Bell Canada). I can send and receive txt messages and phone calls but cannot get the data network to start. I have flashed in the Update JL2 modem from above and when the phone boots I can see the 3G and H symbols in the notification area but then they go away. There is no wireless around but that does work. The *#0011# show that I am on WCDMA 850 Band 5, is that good?
I just flashed this last night so I really don't know what to do next. Any help would be great
TIA

I found the the JM9 GPS code (GPS only not entire modem) loaded over JL2 modem gives me best GPS performance. Search for "gpsjm9.zip" or check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9086945&postcount=9
Im currently Running the JPG modem on my galaxy i9000m and its pretty sickk but tommorw i will be flashng back to KC1 modem..you just cant beat it! plus the gps is unbelieveably good! i highly recommend KC1 to any 850 band user

I have signal for emergency calls and everything, but my phone will not connect to the carrier. I verified that the phone's IMEI matched the one on the case and tried to manually select the carrier but have had no luck.
This is on Virgin Mobile btw.
Try flashing either the JK4, JL2 or KC1 modem from the 4th post of this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1053304
(those are the ones that work with the 850mhz band)
Simply click on install zip from recovery, then chose the modem file.
My carrier is Bell and the JL2 works best for me.
You can also try wiping cache/dalvik cache from recovery, it solves a lot of problems.
My carrier is bell as well and I also find JL2 works the best

Can these be used with Darky's ROM? In an effort to make things work I tried a different ROM, same result though. All the numbers matching and everything still but no SIM. I also noticed that the signal type it's trying to use is GPRS and iirc Bell is HSDPA, no? I'm guessing that may have something to do with it?
I don't think so, the links I posted are for cm7. If you want modems for other roms, check over there :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
You can also try using the *#301279# dialer code to see if HSDPA is activated (but the code doesn't work on cm7)
I used ugkc1 for darkys rom in the past

if you can get to download mode, flash a new rom..
Ok so my phone basically works but I can't get my internet to work expect for wifi. I have tried going in *#*#197328640#*#* and making sure 850 was selected, I've unsucessfully tried installing 3 modems on odin and through the sd card any thoughts?
I use an app called absolute system to remove system apps but there are many others.
