Hi,
since yesterday i have a new custom rom ooon my phone.
The MIUI Android 2.3.3 is working but there is one problem- the SIM Card.
I tried 3 diferent Sim Cards but my cellphone does not find them.
What should I do?
A new software or is there an other way because this rom is the best which I have found in the portal.
Thanke ;D
NB: PM me if you have any questions - I wont bother checking this thread again if u have any questions..
OK, I HOPE you have a backup of your EFS folder, /sdcard/efsbackup/efs (????)
Step 1:
Download a modem file from cyanogenMOD i9000 forum, go with either ZSJPG or JQ1 ok?
Step 2:
Flash the modem through clockwork recovery.
Step 3:
Download root explorer from the market and mount system as R/W
Step 4:
Navigate to sdcard/efsbackup/efs
Copy the first file (nvdata.bin or whatever)
Navigate to /EFS and delete the corresponding file then paste your new one
repeat for each item in the EFS folder.
Step 5:
REFLASH the modem you did previously.
You're done and have a working phone.

hei here i just post a new thread on xda ,post any question on there ,good luck!-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136532
I've been searching through here and over on RootzWiki for a Droid 3 copy of BlurEmail.apk. I haven't successfully been able to locate the file or a dump containing the file that I'm confident will work. I am a noob and I apologize for that, hopefully this question hasn't been asked and answered a million times, though if it has I can't find it. I've been looking for the last three hours I promise, I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I have BlurEmail.apk and BlurEmail.odex that I know works on my phone out of my backup prior to installing Steel Droid. Can I deodex this myself, or am I able to just drop both of these files into /system/app and be back in business?
You would have to deodex to use in a rom that is deodexed all ready.
I had to do this as well, needed email on steel droid. Just download Monster Rom bloated, and then you can pull it out of there.
1) Obtain the Deodexed install from RootzWiki. (Or if you have a back-up, that will work too!)
2) Extract the zip file (I downloaded mine to the PC and unzipped it there).
3) Open the extracted folder, then navigate to /system/app.
4) Locate the BlurEmail.apk file (not to be confused with blur_email.apk) and copy it.
5) Paste the file to the SD card or internal storage.
6) Using a file explorer (such as Root Explorer),copy the file from where you put it and paste to the /system/app directory (you may need to mount as RW first).
7) Set the permissions to rw-r--r-- by long-pressing and selecting "Permissions" (this is if you use Root Explorer, other programs may vary). Make sure owner has Read and Write, while Group and Others have Read only.
8) Reboot phone, and enjoy!
***NOTE THIS IS NOT MY FIND. I WAS HELPED WITH SAME ISSUE. I AM NOT COPYING ANYONES HARD WORK***
thats your answer. When it says locate deodex locate the stock deodex not the deodex debloated version. Follow steps. It works. I did it. And im running sd3.

I'm using the email.apk file taken from a Desire Z cyanogen rom, I consider it way better than blur email because I can mix the accounts and assign a custom color for every inbox.
I've just deleted the blur email and copied the email.apk in the system/app folder

I had been able to locate that post you quoted for directions on how to do it, which are straight forward. I'm just having trouble finding a BlurEmail.apk, email.apk, or Messaging.apk that when used in coordination with these instructions gets me to a corporate e-mail inbox. I'll keep downloading different ROM's and trying different ones I guess until I can find one that works for me.
If I ever get to that point I'll attach it to a follow-up post so if someone finds themselves in my shoes later they can just pull that down and be set.
Okay, finally found what I needed to get back working with corporate e-mail. I can't attach to this post unfortunately, nor am I allowed to post links in a post so... I'm throwing this archive up on one of my boxes so if someone else needs it they can maybe find it faster than I did.

thank you!
I had the same issue. I found Mail Droid in the market to be better than anything I've used prior.

As requested here is a general GB I9000 porting guide​
First this is NOT an all encompassing step by step porting guide. Its a general howto description with the tools Ive used so you can give it a go. It will take time..hours and hours...to get it right and learn. You WILL boot-loop many times. You WILL end up having to Odin to stock several times due to errors. I have spent a few hours trying to port a ROM only to give up because I couldn't get it to boot right. It happens.
If you grab any I9000 ROM and flash it will it brick your phone? Chances are no. The 2 main parts that if different (Kernel and Modem) is what will make it probably unusable. Your keys (Home, Back, Search, Volumes) will prob not work right. You probably wont have hypathic feedback on you home keys and such.
You could in theory Flash an I9000 Rom, then Vibrant GB kernel, then Vibrant Modem, and finally keylayout fixes and it could very well work fine with some minor issues.
So here we go. First and foremost this is where I got all my info, and honestly still VERY useful so please click the thanks on their threads:

Applications (Windows versions) I use all the time:
Beyond Compare - compare folder listings to line by line code withing a file.
http://www.scootersoftware.com/
Notepad++ - The editing tool for me
http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
Droid Explorer - Great overall application
http://de.codeplex.com/
7zip - Be the 7zip Hero you know you can be!!!
http://www.7-zip.org/
So you downloaded and extracted an I9000 ROM. Here is the general steps I take to port it:
First: Download and extract a GB ported ROM for our Vibrant dev section as a guide or to compare your port to.. HERE IS MY JETPACK PORT as an example.
1. Update /system/etc/wifi.conf
Check the file - you will see the Vibrant version has:
IFACE_DIR=/data/misc/wifi
This will allow the wifi to work on most kernels and not just the Vibranted kernel
2. Check vold.conf /system/etc/vold.conf
Never had to change anything but its good to check.
3. Update + Edit build.prop
Change it as needed. Adjust type to T959 where needed. Add tweaks as wanted.
4. Update
/system/user/keylayouts/Melfas_Touchkey.kl
also
/system/user/keylayouts/aries-keypad.kl
This is based on what kernel you plan to use. I haven't tested these in a while but here is my files zipped up for you:
http://www.mediafire.com/?rhg24ksk07fdy74
5. Add GPS files (Ginger fix)
http://www.mediafire.com/?ex58f0ct9nhgvtu
Extract / Replace the files in the correct directories.
6. Replace kernel and modem
Very important. When in doubt use the KB5 modem. Its more or less the standard modem for all ports.
7. Check and update the ROMs:
/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script
-Get a good look at it. Check 10 other ROMs scripts. Note the differences between edify and ammend scripting. Take note what partitions are what for your phone.
8. Delete CERT.SF, CERT.RSA, MANIFEST.MF in /META-INF (They are replaced when you sign zip file)
9. Fix Hypathic Feed back
-Find the same ROM version and "borrow" to make it easy
or See
Jelette's post on HowTo
10. Change the sounds / init.d files / gps.conf and any other files you want to tweak.
--Zip it all up and sign it with the apk/zip sign tool. Give it a try.

Also - don't post a port here until you have flashed it and used it for a day or two. Test everything. Post quality - Its a learning experience trust me.

We need more stuff like this from this community, perhaps we will eventually unravel the GPS issue with the 2.3 - 4.0 roms.
Thanks for your continued support!
Adding haptic feedback, feel free to add it to the OP if you'd like:
The changes are enormous so this will be a copy and paste.
I have attached the files needed to this post.
1. Create a new folder on your desktop called whatever you like as a clean environment to work in.
2. Download and extract the 2 attachments to this new folder.
3. Locate the android.policy.jar from the ROM you want to add feedback to and bring it into the folder with the 2 files you extracted in step 2.
4. [I use 7zip so that is what the instructions will assume that you are using]
Right click on android.policy.jar and choose to open the archive. [open only, not extract]
5. Drag classes.dex out of the open 7zip window and into the folder with everything else.
6. Now double click on baksmali.bat and you will read then hit the space bar - then read and hit the space bar again.
7. Right click and copy the PhoneWindowManager.smali that you extracted to this folder in step 2.
8. Now navigate to AutoBakSmali_Out/com/android/internal/policy/impl .
Once here, right click in the window and choose paste - choosing yes to overwrite.
9. Now back out of this until you see the com folder - right click on the com folder and choose cut.
Back out one more step and then go into AutoSmali_In and and right click and paste.
10. Now double click smali.bat, read and wait and space bar out when it says to.
11. Step 10 created AutoSmali_Out.dex. Delete your original classes.dex and rename the new AutoSmali_Out.dex to classes.dex.
12. Right click on android.policy.jar and choose to open the archive.
13. Drag the new classes.dex into the open 7zip window - hit yes - close the 7zip window
14. You have now added haptic feedback to your ROM!
From here you can use your favorite method to load the android.policy.jar.
Add it to a new rom, adb it in, use root explorer to put it in place, whatever!
Big thanks Jellette - Always great to have guidance from a acknowledged developer.
I updated my OP to point to your post.
Jellette,
Wasn't cmenard on your EDT team? He was the only one who made a Vibrant GB kernel that GPS worked with (Bullet). Any clue how he did it?
I rolled many a linux kernels in my day, but never a android one. Heck Id even set out how to roll one if I knew how to get the GPS to work.
cmenard github was no real help. Nothing in it that I or others could see that showed how he did it.
Woo!
Thanks for this!
