[Q] Help please

i have just bought last week a SGS GT-I9000T, i have searched the whole of the galaxy range of forums on here and only found two with links to I9000T, the rest of the details for this phone is : Model Name: GT-I9000T
Current Version: PDA-JJ1/phone:JI1/CSC:JI1
and the info from About phone Firmware Version 2.1-update!
Basebandversion I4000tdoJ1!
Kernal Version 2.6.9 [email protected] #2
Build Number Eclair.Dojj!
does the above mean that my phone is rooted ?? i know it shows root in the kernal, but i do no have superuser and im still locked in with NZtelecom, any info or help would be really appreciated many thanks and regards to all..

No, root in the kernel version doesnt mean its rooted.
What is it exactly that you want root for?
A bit more info and we can point you in the right direction

For rooting try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Just make sure your 3 button recovery mode works. If you do than its a matter of trial and error for trying custom roms etc because arent you on 850htz band?

Surely he can update to Froyo on Kies

Froyo not in nz or aus yet so its either kies hack or european froyo.

awsome guys many thanks and the very best of regards...

Hi All and many thanks for your input with this, as stated froyo is not available in NZ yet, but my problem is that the phone is tied to Telecom XT and we have four main carriers is NZ them being Telecom XT, Vodafone, 2Degress and Telstra. the first I9000T that i got was tied to Vodafone and i took it back to the shop as i wanted a phone that would work with 2Degrees, and preferably on all frequencies so i had the option to change sims if i wished, so the second phone that i was given was tied to Telecom XT, then i am told that the phone will not work with 2 degrees and they were not willing to order a phone in for me, so we reached a compromise on the phone, they took $200 off of the cost and threw in a 8GB sd card. ok so back to my question i need to root the phone so that it will work with 2Degrees and get rid of the bloatware at the same time. and to update to froyo would be a bonus for me.
the three button recovery does work and i have just now managed to root the phone, after reading lots of pages of info on the subject, what i was doing wrong is not using the volume key and starting the update with the power button, a pretty simple mistake but it was really frustrating and i don't really remember reading about it in all of the info that i found on how to do this.
so thanks to all i am now rooted and just have to update to froyo, so more reading to get there.
just one thing that i have noticed between the two phones i was given and i might be wrong here, but after taking the back off of the phone and where the sim card goes there looks like another sim slot between the usable sim slot and the edge of the phone, but the first phone and i am pretty sure on this did not have in the back as it was covered by black plastic without any holes in it, i will try and post a pic of the back that is in this phone, so we can compare and see if there is anything in this.
so once again many thanks for all of the help, and with the very best of regards to all
dave

Froyo ?
while i now have super user status kies tells me that my device is unable to be updated ? any one have an idea or any info on this, once again many thanks to all and the very best of regards

welcome to the joys of kies... i think most people here use odin to flash there roms maybe thats a option you could use quick easy and plenty of custom roms on this site to try.

gps, usb, ota problems

Hi all,
I've purchased a samsung captivate from United States and bring it to italy where I'm using with Wind operator.
I'm starting thinking that it was the worst purchase that i've never made.
First of all, I've unlocked at&t sim restriction and it was the only think went fine.
In italy I had time to test the phone and I've noticed the full unworking gps feature: position was never catched and just 1 or 2 satellites was found with low signal.
I'm trying to use samsung kies to upgrade the firmware before install a custom rom but samsung kies doesn't found the phone! (on win 7 or xp the fault is the same.. Mtp driver not installed correctly or kies says that phone is not supported!)
Moreover, updates by OTA don't work because the updated tool fails to connect to at&t server!
I'm really sick for all of that.. The last think I can do is to root the phone and install a custom ROM but I'm afraid that gps still doesn't work.
What do you think about this?
​

You don't need to update to install a custom rom. So I wouldn't stress too much about it. Make sure you back up the folder which contains the unlock information!! I made that mistake.
Many roms out there try to fix gps issues. For now, many of us (including me) have awful gps capabilities.
Edit, I should say that many roms vastly improve the GPS, so after you've read up on flashing and want to give it a try, it's probably your best bet.
Sent from Captivate, sorry for the brevity.

I don't know if your experience with the original firmware is the same that i have but my gps is not working at all. I can't understand how they can sell a phone with this buggy behaviour.
However, if it does not work also with the new firmware may I flash back original firmware for at&t / samsung assistance? I don't think so but maybe you are more informed than me.

Have you tried installing the gpsjm9 files with clockwork? Makes even stock gps better.

[Q] flashed 2.3.3 and now it says i'm roaming

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 .

omgf Thanks soo much

helped soo much
you guys are life savers.

well thats weird.... Now i can't search anything on the market, says it's not in the market.... But before I could. i can still download it if i find it on my pc through android market.

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.

[Q] NO GPS related to stock rom baseband? (philippines) need help!;)

Greeting XDA Devs!:laugh:
Here's my situation. As you can see my GPS does not lock on my N7000 and could not even find a satellite. I've tried a lot of fixes from the play store including AGPS patches. even modified gps.conf from system/etc though i backed up the original one. unfortunately GPS wont lock. I've flashed Angry Vt1 with the OTA update before. but I thought restoring to an earlier and stock rom would help, I restored to IMM76D.DXLR5 build with N7000DXLR1 baseband flashed Philzdxlr safe kernel with my Note but still it doesnt lock only finds my location if i turn on the mobile data but whenever I use a Navigation app "waze" and Google Maps the location where I turn it on doesnt move while im driving.
I Live here in the Philippines i even tried changing the NTP server to ph.pool.ntp.org unfortunately no results. Tried rebooting like hell nothing helped. I found some Stock ICS roms from "dr.ketan" for my country though it has a carrier indicated in it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
like this:
N7000DXLR5---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Philippines (Sun)
N7000DXLP9---4.0.3/12.05---N7000OLBLP6---Download--- Philippines (Sun)
N7000DXLR5---4.0.4/12.07.30-N7000OLBLR2---Download--Philippines (Smart)
N7000DXLP9---4.0.3/12.05---N7000OLBLP6---Download--- Philippines (Smart)
ive not tried it since im afraid its carrier is locked to the indicated one.does it?
I used to own another N7000 which ran CM10, PAJELLYBAM. but sold it since I have a new Note with ongoing warranty. which I had no problems with its GPS. unfortunately i cant recall what stock rom was in my new note for restocking purposes since i impulsively flashed Angry VT1. i experienced ANGRY VT1 and im never going back to Cyanogen.
So it ends with my basic question for my pursuit of the fix does reflashing other stock roms from other country will fix my gps? currently im downloading JZO54K.N7000XXLSC which was posted by chronosmachine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992573 i wanted XXLSC as stock since ill return back to ANGRYvt1 rom. Does anyone know whats the best stock rom there is? (what i mean best is the fewest issues that goes with the rom, so that maybe i could put an end to this gps dilemma)
Any ideas anyone?
Thank you and good day:good:

Today i tried another fix which is more about the innards of my note. Prying it open and slightly bending the gps antenna. Still nothing. Sigh. I found it in the at&t gnote thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973727 i was convinced to do it because almost everyone who did it Worked. Im sending it to a service center later im afraid its hardware issue like the gps module.
Question if you have a device which is rooted with a voided warranty will the official samsung service center still repair your phone? Or do i still have to restock and unroot?(im sorry if i voided it myself i just like learning at whatever cost)

Gps will not be affected by flashing different rom, maybe radio will affect it but does sound like hardware problem. If you're sending it in, you'll need to flash stock gb rom via pc odin after erasing flash counter. Service won't honour warranty if it has raised flash counter and/or root.
You don't need to unroot, just flashing 3 part stock rom will remove root.

It's probably best to flash one with your csc that was on it originally. In theory you can flash any but to be safe as houses, best to stick with the original csc. If you don't know your original csc (I'm guessing phillipines doesn't have its own?) then any will do.

I need help please

First i know i'm an idiot, i thought i knew what i was doing but i had no idea, i figured how hard could it be I've rooted a G1 and a Droid Eris.... but alas i was way over my head.
I have a Note 9 from KSA (Saudi Arabia) i'm a contractor there and it was way cheaper than buy in the states plus a dual sim variant. i tried flashing to the Detonator T-mobile rom, and now i'm left with a phone i can not use, I did not create a partition, i have backup all my personal data, but the original firmware is in the ether. I flashed what i thought was a dual sim international firmware, but all it did network lock my phone so god knows what international network, since neither my T-mobile or STC sim work in it. On top of that even though it has a "stock firmware" it's still rooted so knox has been triggered and even if my sim's worked all Knox linked programs wont work.
So what i need from you fine Ladies' and Gentlemen is a solution to get it as close to the stock version as possible, at this point dual sim functionality or the Wifi calling i was trying to flash on to it are second to having the phone function as a proper note 9 again. IF anyone has the stock firmware or knows of a place where i can get the original firmware, no i'm not asking for hacked version, yes i'm willing to pay for it as long as it works. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I know that Samsung devices purchased in the UAE are partitioned differently than those purchased in the rest of the world. I would recommend that you repartition the storage in your device and reinstall the stock OS back onto it again. That should resolve yoru issue. I don't know how to do this. Maybe somebody else can chime in a help you out.
