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

AGPS issue on Rogers with i9000m?

Anyone having any issues with AGPS on their i9000/i9000m on Rogers?
I have an i9000m that's unlocked and running on Rogers, has been for months, and recently I noticed that I'm having issues with AGPS again. (Same issue we had last year)
GPS is working normal, just no AGPS. (the cellular assisted gps)
i9000m w/Darky's Rom 9.2 w/JL2 modem.

No problems here; i9000m with XWJS5 DocRom from kitchen; Hardcore's speedmod k13c, and UGJL2 modem firmware. aGPS and GPS work fine.

When did the problem start after you put custom rom on ??
jje

I have been using the various versions of Darky's for months, the issue did not occur when I started using a custom rom.
I tried Darky's 9.3 Beta 3, same thing.
The thing that's weird though, is when I am in certain areas, it seems to work, but not in others.
I'm going to need to do some more investigation elsewhere I think, maybe it doesn't recognize the cell towers that I am on.

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

[Q] Awful Cell Reception (Bell Canada) (2.3.3 JVK) **FIXED**

Hey Guys,
I had flashed 2.3.3 JVK Gingerbread to my Canadian Bell Samsung i9000m. Since the flash my cellular signal is extremely poor. Getting 0-1 bar in places I would normally get 4-full on Froyo. With JVK the phone is extremely fast, email app has stopped constantly force closing and for the first time, gps works great! This is why I didn't just want to flash back to Froyo to fix the cell signal issue. I had been told by a member here to ensure that [8]WCDMA 850(FDD V)[*] in the band settings had a star in it. It did not, I had selected it and rebooted, star is now there with no change in signal strength.... So this is my question, am I going to have to flash back to froyo to fix this and once again live without GPS? Or is there a work-around or setting to fix signal strength. ANY help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance..
INFO
NA Bell i9000m Vibrant
Flashed to 2.3.3 JVK Gingerbread with Odin with new Bootloaders, no PIT/Repartition.
EVERYTHING else works perfect, except cellphone signal.
**FIXED**
Flashed the KC1 (Bell Canada Update) modem.bin via odin. I now get full signal (84dB) where I had previosly had none. (2.3.3. Modem). Gps working great. Phone still fast as hell.
Also just a follow up, I tried the JL2 modem first but gps failed to lock. Thanks for the advice though the 850mhz was the key!

No no no! Its just your modem, you can flash any modem toy like!
Go for jl2 as it is 850mhz by default.
Just find the jl2 modem. If its a zip then extract modem.bin and place in the pda section of odin. Flash away! If its a .tar file just put this straight in.

Yes you can use any froyo modem.
As for gps... I hear conflicting reports about that. Jl2 tho has great gps from reports.
I found jvk modem to drain heaps standby. Im guessing that without 850mhz band your phone is using a fallback band with worse reception. Ll2 should sort this out

So is the JL2 from 2.2.1?, as with the 2.2 Froyo, my gps was not just being slow, but not functioning at all (0 Locked sat's).
Also, where would I obtain this modem file, and how is it flashed. I ran a search and noticed that some member state it goes into the PDA field in ODIN and other stating it goes into the PHONE field. Also, I have not modified the bootloader,(Stock came with 2.3.3) and I am unsure weather it could be flashed using the update method. As this is my work phone, I need to be sure I will not brick it. Once again, sorry for all the questions, the help is GREATLY appreciated.
**EDIT**
Also, when going into the *#2263#, the 850 Band is listed in both the GSM and CDMA areas, both with a corresponding star in the box beside them. Not sure if this means the band is actually there or not. One thing I am sure of is the fact that with FROYO my signal was perfect, with GPS non existant and phone generally SLOW, with 2.3.3 EVERYTHING is working great with the exception of the cell signal strength. Speed is incredible.

Ah glad to hear you sorted it out! Being half canadian myself I was glad I helped.

[Q] Network and 3g problems after updating JVO

Hi everyone, i updated to JVO, im having a bad network reception and im unable to connect 3g. I already manually type in the APN networks just as they are in my captivate running froyo and like they were in the phone using froyo but i only see the edge symbol.
if anyone can help me fix this it would be awesome.
do i have to change the modem? and how? got heimdall and odin...
if it cannot be fixed how i move back again to froyo? with odin just the same way i installed gingerbread?
i got the JVO from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948790

EDIT:
my phone is a GT-I9000T i think that might be the source of all my problems should i go back to froyo?

is darky rom the solution?
i was reading in another website that darkys rom was fixing i9000T problems but my question is can i install just the modem from darkys rom?
decided to go back to froyo JPY that was working 100% until more GB firmwares come out, hopefully one will work for GT-I9000T gingerbread was so fast for the short time i had it

You could just flash your default modem after upgrading to GB... I am on a Bell Canada modem from 2.2 but I am on a European Version of 2.3.3.. I get way better reception

didnt knew i could mix the modem of previous versions, but thxs for the information
