Hi,
I'm under the impression that the radio is different from the modem, therefore my previous efforts to fix a problem with the auto-connection to HSDPA/3G were somewhat in vein. If I am correct in this, it could be the reason that my "phone information" settings won't stick (revert to default) and my phone, once connected to EDGE, will not automatically reconnect to HSDPA/3G.
Would someone be so kind as to point me in the direction of CWM-flashable radios? If needed, I am on the AT&T network (U.S.) with the international GT-I9000. ROM and kernel are in the signature, modem is JPY but flashing to the U.S. modem made no difference.
Thank you for your help or even your attention on the matter. I plan to write this up as a tutorial for this very problem should this solve the issue which I believe it will.
All the information you need is here:

It's telling me it's a bad link. I'll try to receive it through search and post the link if I get it.
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945
I flashed JPP to see if that can fix the issue as it's compatible with the U.S. I'll edit again once I go outside in order to see if it auto connects to HSDPA once I'm out there. It's a good test IMHO as I only have the 1900mhz band of wcdma therefore it doesn't penetrate the walls of my place of work.
edited the post above to fix the URL
I went out and checked. It still requires me to go into wcdma only and then back to wcdma/gsm in order to get hsdpa, also, the changes in phone information still don't stick. I need the actual radio file in a CWM flashable zip. Also, after changing modems to JPP, speed test doesn't work. I'll just uninstall from the market and re-install since the data connection is still works and see if there is any improvement on that front.
Which one is the radio file as opposed to modem file .

EDIT: It's in the modem but not included with the modem as far as I know. Specifically, I need to flash a new Radio Image zip file. I found some through cyanogenmod but I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to use those as they may only be working with cyanogenmod ROMs.
Modems and CSC files flash from an update zip via the rom kitchin .

I edited the post. Those modems don't contain an updated radio image or any radio image, i think. It's more a matter of finding the right radio image file to flash.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940095 It's midway through the first post. I'm not sure if I should flash it with Darky's ROM or not since it's cyanogenmod but I think as long as I switch to the JPY modem it should be fine.
Interesting.... I did some reading on the kitchen modems and apparently they flash a new radio image in the modem where others don't. I looked at my status through "about phone" and my IMEI SV changed from 01 to 02. When I get back outside to where I know I have HSDPA access, I will report on whether this fixes the lack of auto connect to HSDPA from EDGE.
There is no such thing as a radio for galaxy s devices, that is a htc phone term.
Instead, we have modems. The issue you're talking about is probably rom related.

So, you're saying a re-flash of the ROM then.... I think I've had this issue since Darky's 9.2 and I've flashed through the betas and I'm on 9.3 stable now. I have also done a wipe but not a repartition in Odin. I think Odin is a cleaner install then CWM but it's just so convenient to flash right from the phone. I guess I'll do that then.
Thanks.

THIS IS FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE ENTERED THE APN SETTINGS AND CANNOT ACTUALLY CONNECT TO THE 850MHZ BAND
WARNING: FOLLOWING THIS GUIDE WILL WIPE ALL DATA YOUR PHONE (minus the SD Cards)

Open the dialer and enter *#272*xxxx#
The above x's are the current time. So for 2:15pm, you would enter 0215.
Select BMC and then Install.
Wait till the phone reboots.
Your radio should now have the 850mhz band working again.
Feel free to flash back to UGJH2 again.
Just want to add, as long as you flash JUST the code in ODIN you should never lose 850Mhz again after doing this.
Would be nice if we could extract the CSC from the rom and never have to worry about downgrading again if we mess up.

Not sure if they ONLY use 850MHZ. When I had the issue I had perfect coverage in the city center. But absolutely none on the outskirts where I live. I couldn't even connect to the network for data calls. After a few hours of messing with it to get it back, I tried what's in my original post and thankfully it worked.

In my experience all you have to do is flash any Bell 2.1 rom again via ODIN to restore your America/Aussie radio, I suggest JH2 instead as the OS and Radio are both newer in that build. You can flash whatever 2.1 ROM you want as long as you don't go to a 2.2 radio you will be fine. I know because this was the first thing I did, and basically one of the big reasons I bought this model, so I can flash away all like a regular i9000m just keeping my bell radio. I'm on AT&T and I get HSPDA/HSPUA 24/7.
You can do this on HTC devices, as they usually just release radios by themself to flash alone via stock recovery/clockwork/whatever. So I was glad to see Samsung didn't jack that around and make one rom use a specific radio only. That would have sucked hard, as you can get better service with others.

Myself, and a couple of other people have had the issue where flashing back to UGJH2 simply does not restore the 850MHZ band, hence this thread. I flashed the new HK JP2 and it worked fine. However, I completely lost connectivity to the 850MHZ band. I flashed back to UGJH2, which did not fix it, went back to the new JP2 again, still nothing. After hours of torture, I finally tried the CSC method in UGJG8 and it worked. 850MHZ restored!
Obviously, you've never had the issue where you've had to use this tutorial. When using UGJH2, which I currently am, you cannot use the *#272*xxxx# code. It simply does not work. However, it does work in UGJG8, and lets you select the BMC CSC which is what fixes the problem.
I do however agree that we should always go with the most recent radio, which is why I went back to UGJH2 after fixing my issue in UGJG8.
I def lost 850 mhz band, i flashed to the new Froyo JPC for a few days and it was a disaster, flashed back to UGJ8 now, and installed BMC, looks good
but one thing bothered me, when I put in the code, above the BMC

Is that normal, or has JPC transformed my phone to a Korean Model permanently (can this be fixed), and what are the effects of this, will I be able to receive the OTA and flash froyo when its out normally?

XWJM8 CODE and XXJM4 MODEM work but not properly: they don't let you use 850MHz. I think that on Bell we need to use a UG MODEM.
Maybe Richtofen could split out the MODEM as well as the CSC.
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?

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

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

depends on the service coverage in your area. if your area is mostly all 1900, then you shouldnt have any problems with it
Jpp will work but you have to follow certain steps that noone can fully explain why it works.
Flash to stock
Flash jg8 modem
Flash jpp or jpm
These modems have support for 850 but for wherever reason it is only enabled by flashing the magical jg8 modem first.
Prior to the latest modems, this is what we had to do in order to use i9000 roms when 850 was needed.
After flashing the jg8 modem, allow the phone to boot and obtain a signal, them put the jpp modem in the rom zip in place of the modem.bin that is present. All these modems can be found in the modem thread which I am sure you know of.
Yeah I recall that process before. It seems that at home I dont use 850 but if I am at work I need it. So I cannot just flash JG8 with my current ROM and then JPP I need to go to stock? What stock is this cause stock would be Eclair so not quite sure here
Noone knows why this works but it is the only method that is proven. I don't believe flashing the modem over your current setup will work but you can give it a shot.

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
I've been reading about enabling the 850Mhz frequency on my P1000. To go about that I will have to reflash my modem with a new modem.bin. So far I'm using the Overcome ROM and noticed that in their downloads sections they have modem update zips for CwM. So I was wondering if I could just grab one of those zips and then replace the modem.bin inside it with the one I've already downloaded and then repack it and use that with CwM?
And also:
In the past I've tried installing the CwM from ROM Manager while using the Overcome ROM, only to have it brick my tab requiring a restock using odin and reinstalling Overcome. Is the custom CwM recovery that comes with Overcome the only one that will work with the P1000 or am I missing something?
Sorry, but no, you can't flash your tab to be an 850mHz tab if it is natively a 900mHz tab... Its NOT the firmware, its the hardware itself that allows you to use 850,900,1700,1900 or 2100 mHz range...
All you'll do is make your reception really bad....
You have been warned....

Guys, I have discovered it is a firmware issue as I found online the code to get me into the firmware menu to which I successfully changed my P1000 from 900Mhz to 850Mhz, and then 3G popped online without a hitch.
It's been running great for the past month until I installed Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe which added 1700Mhz to the firmware menu, and now it no longer recognizes the 850Mhz when selected.
It also appears to be a permanent firmware change because flashing a Gingerbread ROM originally installed doesn't remove the 1700Mhz option nor allow me to use 3G 850Mhz.
After searching online through many forums, it appears no one has a solution other than the one seen here.
As a final option, I'm going to attempt to format every system mounted folder so everything is wiped clean, and flash a complete Froyo ROM in hopes it will remove the 1700Mhz option and restore the ability to switch to 850Mhz.
If anyone is interested in the outcome, I'll post here my results. Conversely, if anyone has ideas, thoughts or knowledge on this issue, any and all is completely welcome.
WHEW!
I was successful at returning the firmware menu to its original code where 1700MHz was no longer in the options. I did this by following instructions on installing the Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0 Wipe, found here http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17.
During step 4, I chose a modem.bin file for a country which uses 850MHz frequency for 3G like USA, Mexico & Australia, which in the supplied files was the JK3 modem.
Then between steps 9 & 10 I entered Recovery and formatted all system folders in the Storage Menu (/cache, /data, /dbdata, /system), then did a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then I continued on from step 10.
When the Tab was on the Home screen, I followed these instructions to access the firmware menu http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/258859-how-enable-850mhz-3g-network-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html and confirmed that 1700MHz was no longer an option. I continued onward to select 850MHz, rebooted and 3G came online.
Let me tell y'all that I've been working on this issue for 12 full hours, and it sure feels rewarding to have succeeded at this seemingly easy but became quite tedious excursion. Time for some deep sleeping.
So to be clear, you have voice calls enabled since you're running the Overcome ROM and 3g data works on AT&T as well at the same time without having to use any sort of modem switch? Still working well after this time? If this is true, that's really cool. Everyone has been saying it's a hardware issue all along. I guess you just need to do the configure like you pointed out and voila! Sweet!
I don't think he said that.
He said he can get a p1000 to work with AT&T 3G data network at 850Mhz.
Never mentioned phone calls or SMS, etc

Yes, a T-mobile GT... on AT&T 3g. I'm bringing this up because the Overcome ROM has the phone enabled. Just want to see if this function works along with 3g and the JK3 modem he's using. I think all of the various functions can be changed in the settings menu accessed in the dialer. I'll monitor the thread for cmcole's response. Even if it's just the data that works with that modem, that's still cool. I think Rotohammers modem switcher could allow you to use 2 modems and have the ability for both if the JK3 modem doesn't allow voice/3g data but I think it should.
