which roms work with which phones

i got a bell i9000m ugjk4 froyo... now how do i know what roms will work on my phone without messin it up... like what exactly does the ugjk4 mean? can i put different ones on my phone? sorry im a newb at this lol

Hey,
That "ugjk4" is the current firmware version that your are using.
The Bell i9000m is compatible with most roms for the i9000 international and its compatibility (or incompatibility for that matter) is usually discussed in the first post that details the information about the rom.
If you every do flash a rom that is incompatible go to "samfirmwares" and download UGJK4 from their site and reflash through odin.
Let me know if I did not answer your question as you were a little vague.
Happy Modding,
Alex

He isnt talking about flashing modem or CSC?
Also, you will notice I told him to look at the OP for the ROM he is interested in BEFORE he flashes for compatibility issues. I did not say that every ROM will work ok.

I understand what you're saying and have some questions if you don't mind. I've been wracking my brain over searches but haven't come across anything that lays it out clearly.
By way of example, I'm running JPU on my i9000M which changed my product code to "Nordic" and my csc/modem accordingly (which is what I'd expect given that JPU isn't a Canadian firmware). I've since flashed a Canadian modem, changed my product code back to BMC (Bell Canada) and enabled the 850 band. Are there any other changes to be concerned with/aware of given the mixing of pda/phone/csc?
Many thanks in advance.

[Q] How to check modem?

How do I check what modem my Captivate is running? I'm pretty new to the Android community so I don't really know much outside of how to install roms.

Go to settings, then scroll down to "about phone", then find the baseband...it's the last three characters...ie: JL4

Thank you very much.

I don't understand the differences between modems. Mine says JK3 after i flashed Assonance v5 rom and have wifi but no data. Im on Rogers' network btw. Do i have to change my modem version?

It's best to update your modem to the latest version

Thanks for answering to this >2,5 years old question!
No, it's not best to update to the latest version. Different modems work best in different locations.

And using a Modem for another device in the line(Vibrant, i9000, 850mhz i9000, Nexus S, etc...) can be beneficial as well. The i896 Modem have both the Audience Chip and HSUPA, but nobody made a kernel that supported it, so it died out. The modem that came with Cyanogenmod is JL6 I'm pretty sure, which came from a 850mhz i9000, but branded Vibrant(T959)

Yes, one of the first sticky threads in Android Development forum:
【MODEMS】【100+ Captivate I897 ♦ I9000 ♦ CM7/MIUI ♦ ICS】+【Google Location Map】

Has no one got anything on SM-S260DL, this device is great and can really use some support. Please anyone if your able to create a CF Auto Root for SM-S260DL that would be great. I don't understand why I can't find anything for this phone, is there an easy way to network unlock SM-S260DL as well? Any info would be great please guys, I have the stock firmware in case anything goes wrong.

[Q] Best ATT Captivate Modem for Chicagoland?

What do you think?
I would love to get some opinions from people who have tested different modems that live in this geographic area. I've used UGJK4 and now am testing UGJL2. All opinions welcome, but please remember the geographic area of service.

I haven't tried those but I'm currently running Andromeda v1.1 with KP1 and the modem work exceptional so far.... I've used JH7 and JI6 and with both I've had to enable 850mhz only to get the performance I was looking for....I haven't had to do that with this KP1 modem.

I live in madison, wi. In case your ever 'up nort'...
Tried jl1 and now jl2. Haven't tried kp1 yet. Fairly satisfied with jl2 hspa more often than not...

I've been having great success with the following: UGKC1, UGJK4 & TDVJP9 & XXJVK.
If you are flashing JVH you will need CWM 3. Check my sig to get to the modem files for CWM 3. I would flash a modem, run it for a few days and see how it works for you. It seems that a modem that works for one person in a certain area might not work as well as another in the same area. Weird, but that's what I have found.

yeah been flashing many modems since CWM3 but havent found one as good as TLJL9, I think that is what I had before when running Darky's 9.5.
But will keep trying them out.

Best Vodafone Modem

Hi, I just want to know if you could suggest me the better Modem for my Captivate (SGH-i897) with Vodafone carrier. I live in Italy and my phone got CM9 ROM. Thanks in advance!

That depends on area, just flash a few and see which one works best for YOU

Just see in Galaxy S section. Europe likes 850MHz band, so any modem defaulting to that should work good.

Hi, I didn't find this thread in Galaxy S I9000 section

If you are on CM9 then look at what stock rom i9000 uses for vodafone Italy and either check if you can find it in the modem list, or download the whole rom package and look for the modem.bin. http://samfirmware.com/ is a good place to start looking.

Hi, I've flashed with Odin this Modem: MODEM_I9000XXJVU_REV_00_CL1092175.tar and now my phone shows "NO SIGNAL", but if I use an apk called "Network Signal Info", it says that there is an 85% of signal... what's wrong?? T_T

You can't use ODIN on AOSP (cm9). You need to take out the modem.bin and replace it with the one in a Cyanogenmod modem zip.

I've flashed copying modem written before in the cm9 build 17 zip, but the results aren't the same.... It works but the percentage isn't 85 like in picture posted before. Am I wrong or I should give up?

I've installed the bujv3 (I9000), and I think it's the better one atm... thanks anyway...
EDIT
I'm using "TLJL3" and ATM it's perfect

[Q] i9000 with CM10.1 bad WIFI and 3g signal

I've tried changing kernels but that doesn't do anything. Is there a different firmware/modem I can install onto this phone. I live in New Zealand so I'm guessing the modem that's on it now isn't suited for here. Can I just install a modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 ? or will that not work with CM10.1?
Hopefully I can get it sorted before I decide to sell this thing.
Cheers

Hey,
Strange, whereabouts in NZ are you? I'm in Auckland and I've had no problems befoe running CM10.1 in terms of my Wifi and 3G signal.
I think you should be able to flash in a different modem- I think most people recommend JVU not only because its a good modem but also because apparently it uses less battery.
From what I've heard you can flash in a different modem but I'm not sure.

I live in the Wellington region. I'm on 2degrees so that doesn't help so much since their 3g sucks. But yeah it's weird I can't even hold a Viber call on my wifi without it cutting out. Whereas on my Ideos x5 it was fine. I guess I might have to go back to gingerbread if I can't get a good modem :/

Thanks to the hard landlord great !
