Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M - Gingerbread for Canadians, eh! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, all!
This is my first thread and am not entirely sure where I would start it, so figured the General Q&A would be a safe place to begin.
I wanted to let all the Canadians running a SGS GT-I9000M to know that I have made a home-brewed Gingerbread ROM that will work on both the TELUS and Rogers networks (possibly others, but not tested). I took the original European I9000XWJV1 2.3.2 (samfirmware) and fiddled with the firmware a bit.
Initially, the I9000XWJV1 firmware did not work from my home (near Lake Erie) on the TELUS network. It did, however, work with my brother's Rogers SIM card. But as persistent as I am, I decided to wait to try it from school (near Lake Ontario) because all the hardware was functional (minus the modem which I will get to), the speed had drastically increased, and the UI was so smooth compared to the 2.2 ROM I had previously (plus I'm a sucker for new software).
After about a day, I thought to myself, "if the kernel doesn't complain and recognizes it, why can't I Odin-flash a UGJK3 modem binary in place of the JV1?" So I went ahead with it and, voila! A home-brewed Gingerbread ROM for the SGS (Canadian/North American version).
Long story short, I have it if you want to give it a try. I have only been using it for a day or two now, but am selflessly willing to let everyone else play as well. If someone can give me a decent FREE site where I can upload the file to, I will post a reply to this thread with the details.
Please move this thread as necessary.
Thanks and I look forward to reading some enthusiasm in this thread soon!

how do you install it?

Downloaded it but it fails to install every time i tried then messes the phone up.

Hey, Just wanted to add for Canadian BELL members, the latest KC1 Modem works EXCELLENT with 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Just flash the modem file with ODIN. Gps locks amazingly fast and is accurate, battery like is just as good as the rest and phone maintains is crazy fast speed that it gets with gingerbread.

procedure
thank you i hoped this was the case.
Just to confirm the order: download XXJVK and flash PDA using Odin and then flash the KC1 Modem to phone, or flash both at the same time? Partition or not?

same question here.
can i just flash pda, and modem
leave csc to bell and not repartition?
thanks!

I have the same questions? Can one flash just the modem file using Odin? If so, does one check repartiton and use the PIT file or not? Also, can I just use the modem bin file without any other file for the modem?
I have already flashed an official 2.3 ROM but I can only get the 1900 UMTS band and would like to get the 850 also.
Thanks in advance.

I felt lucky today so I just;
1. Fired up Odin,
2. Put the phone in download mode,
3. Hooked it up to computer,
4. Using the phone tab I selected only the bin file for the KC1 modem. NOTE:
I did NOT select the partition box or use a PIT file.
5. Hit the Start Button.
It finished in about 12 seconds and now my device works on the 850 and 1900 UMTS bands.

Above procedure worked for me with 2.3.3 JVK. I used the single modem.bin file (~12Mb) for JK3 in the 'Phone' section of Odin from the JK3 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9314637&postcount=18
I've been using JVK modem for weeks without 850 on Bell, and it's rare for me to have reception issues. Battery life seemed on par with 2.2 JL2, GPS seemed improved. Will see how KC1 stacks up.

I'm using Doc's Rom with the kc1 modem and it's working great.
Good battery and fast smooth interface.

I am almost positive I included a HOW-TO document in the ZIP file.
Moreover, I posted this assuming the reader had knowledge of how to flash firmware or use Google.

I tested what you did on the 2.3.4 update and it seems to be working fine (used the modem file included in yours instead of stock) thanks for the tip. I couldn't figure out why my SGS wouldnt text.

[Q] Should I downgrade my Bell JK4 2.2 to 2.1 before it bricks?

Hey all you fellow sad bunch of Bell Galaxy owners,
I did the bell upgrade via kies, did factory reset, cache wipe, format sd card and so far my phone is running just dandy on the new froyo.
I did it because it was all official and now I see that they pulled the update! And looking at all these threads it looks like this will brick my phone in a matter of days simply because of bad software, not hardware.
Should I try to downgrade before I'm doomed? And where do I find the old bell files to do this odin thing?
Any advice/curious musings would be greatly appreciated.
Yes.
I had mine on jk4 for a day and then changed firmwares. No issues so far.
I'm running jpu now.
Thanks! Hey it's not clear to me as to what is the best route to do the downgrade for the i9000m, and which roms are compatible with this bell version, can I install any rom and be fine?
I have the idea that the i9000m is quite different from the other galaxy s variants.
Rom manager doesn't work on this phone so I guess my only option is odin?
From what I understand, failure is mainly caused by a data corruption on the SDCard when changing firmware. So I'd stay away from frecquent firmware change for now...the more you do it, the higher the risk is.
JK4 is still official, so if you get issue with it, you're pretty much covered by the waranty.
I did mine and its been fine no problems

Rom Manager won't work on JK4 stock because it installed 3e recovery which checks that update.zip files are signed before running them. If you choose to stick with JK4 and want to pursue Rom Manager, your best bet is probably using a kernel which has Rom Manager built in. For example, I flashed SpeedMod Kernel k10j on one of my phones (check the i9000 dev forums).
If you choose to "downgrade", use Odin. JK3 (2.2) and JH2 (2.1) are Bell specific firmwares. Alternatively, using the reg hack solution might work (I've never used it myself so can't offer help). Let us know if you need help with Odin or flashing an earlier firmware.
How do I downgrade my Bell Vibrant? I have 2 Bell Vibrants.. 1 already got the SDcard error 3 days after updating to 2.2.. My second one is still working (2.2) and I want to save it! Please show me how to safely downgrade back to 2.1
Bricks were happening before Froyo 2.2 (JK4) came out of the official channel (Kies).
Nobody can say for certain that it has something to do with JK4 or with an internal hardware issue that is a ticking time bomb. If your phone is working fine on 2.2 (like mine), enjoy it, otherwise send it back to Bell for repair when it dies.

1) Verify you have Recovery and Download mode still working (3 button combo).
2) Remove any lag fixes if you have applied them and download the UGJH2 PDA from Samsung firmware website.
3) Start Odin and put the JH2 firmware (tar file) in the PDA section.
4) Put the 512 pit file that came with Odin install in the PIT section.
5) Click Re-partition.
6) Stop Kies if running and connect phone to USB cable.
7) Ensure that Odin recognizes the phone in the ID:COM section.
8) Click Re-Partition and hit Start.
9) Pray that it works, wait for it to reboot and wait for it to startup, it may take longer than normal for the first boot.
I'm not responsible if it does not work out for you.... Personally, if you have it working on JK4, I would leave it well enough alone.
Thanks for giving the step by step guide.. I am experiencing some FC's on JK4.. I think it's on it's way to getting bricked.. I wana put back JH2 as soon as possible
I went back to JK3 as I've had no problems with it and it's given me the best battery life. Its currently sitting at 84% remaining battery after 12 hours use.

is this likely the best way to get an i9000m that has been upgraded to 2.2 to have e2 recovery? Also where would i download the JH2 rom file?

I've been running JK4 since it got realeased and so far so good. Never had any probleme related to firmware. My phose is a new one got after my first one died using JPC so I don't think it's related to firmware but realy hardware.

[Q] I9000m Running GINGERBREAD???

Hi, the Gingerbread fever has started and everyone's bragging about it. I am on a i9000m and as some of you may have discovered this model is kind of cranky and does not flash everything like the i9000.
So could someone tell me if they have flashed their i9000m with a JVK successfully?
And if yes, have you tried reverting to stock?
Thanks!
And if you say yes...what steps did you follow to get to GB?
to get to froyo I meant...
I dont see a problem here, I have a i9000m and mine is not cranky. If my partitions get messed or something gowes wrong I usually just flash EZBASE on mine following his instructions, then I flash the JL2 found on Samfirmware without repartition checked to get back to original state.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792
I tried JVK but I seem to have lost the WCDMA 850 or WCDMA 1900 which ever one is GSM. I used odin and UGjl2 and put it in PDA and reflashed back to Froyo until I can get just the jl2 modem or the BMC CSC files. Don't know exactly which one I need to reenable the GSM.
Gingebread is awesome and for some reason the tv screen off animation is a must have.
I just flashed to JVK today using the firmware from samfirmware (european version) and it works fine, no issues here. Bell Galaxy S Vibrant.
Thanks Guys...So, when I flash GB with its bootloaders and then when I try to flash back to Froyo (Usually do it with JPC and then JL2) the bootloaders shouldn't be a problem???

I forgot exactly what the menus say but,
can you go to "wireless and network" then mobile networks. Then there is a a place for settings that let's you pick gsm/wcdma or GSM or Wcdma.
Select GSM only and see if your phone goes to No Service.
Thanks
Yeah it goes to no service in GSM only mode, no calls or data.

I would be nervous about changing the boot loader from UGJL2. This is where the I9000M internal SD corruption fixes were done from the reading I have done.

Then how do you install GB. I don't think installing without bootloaders is good too!!! I was thinking if I flash to GB and to get back to froyo if I use a three file ROM like JPC.... I will be fine, no?

Have you tried reverting to stock froyo???
I reverted to stock Froyo then used odin and only installed the PDA file.
CF-Root and JVK screenoff/batt.
Looks like I have both wcdma 850 and wcdma 1900 now.

That's correct. So far no problems. The only strange thing was after the flash when rebooting it stopped at the recovery screen showing an error finding CSC information, can't remember exactly. I just selected reboot and all was good. I now have a KOR product code. If I was to flash again I think i'd flash the CSC file too.
I'd like to know if anyone has flashed all 3 files and has both wcdma 850/1900 working.
I flashed JVK the other day and so far so good. I first tried to install JVK without bootloaders but the phone would not boot after, just hung at the first Samsung screen. I flashed the bootloaders version (hesitantly since I am now on my 3rd phone), and it worked fine. Obviously I lost my 850mhz band, but got it back after flashing the JL2 modem. Knock on wood, but things are working great. I have since flashed a couple different kernel's. Used Clockwork Mod to get the CRT TV Off hack working.
I occassionaly run into a force close, but I found the same on the different versions of Froyo I have been running.
In case you are wondering. I flashed using Odin, no additional checkboxes were checked (no pit, no partition, no bootloader). After flashing I grabbed the kernel of choice and flashed it with same Odin settings. I did get error's moving from Speedmod to Ultimate Kernel. I ended up having to reflash the Ginger ROM to fix, then proceeded to install the Ultimate Kernel.
With respect to the bootloader issue for Bell devices. I do have concerns about flashing the new bootloaders, but am hoping that the steps taken to correct the Froyo JK4 debacle have been included in the new bootloader. Otherwise I may be in for another headache in a few weeks. I havent personally tried it, but going back to JL2 shouldnt be a problem. Might just have to check off the bootloader option in Odin to get back on the Bell JL2 bootloader, but not too sure.
Good luck.

Maybe you could try what is stated in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=997950
basicaly, you flash those modem:
Jl2 => JPD => (JQ1 was the ending there, but you should try to flash the modem from JVK)
By "tick off" you mean check it or no? Lol...
If you mean check it... I don't think its a good option. Rather why not just flash a three file ROM to get back!!
I'm running cm7 now and haven't tried going back to stock. I will give it a shot soon. The ROM is awesome but its the batt that bothers me!
Not sure if you were referring to my post but I did not tick off or check off any additional boxes when using odin. only the default boxes had a check. Repartition and Bootloaders were un-checked and I did not have to use a pit file.
In addition my modem gets 850mhz just by flashing back the JL2 modem file through Odin.
Btw, Darky RC3 ROM installed as expected. and by default ran the voodoo lagfix.
Phone is smoking fast....

[Q][I9000M][Help!][Canadian] Back to Stock

okay i have a Galaxy S on Virgin Mobile Canada
I have posted a few similar threads in the past and i apologize for repeating bits,
basically i want to get my galaxy s to stock UGKG3 and have tried multiple ways that have all failed, and i am sick of it,
i tried downloading and flashing files from samfirmware.com but it never worked for me, my galaxy s just didn't start up after i flashed so i re-flashed back to JVQ which is what i am on atm,
can some of you guys post alternate links to help me with this problem
(and yes i have searched around the rest of the forums for a few hours now)
i am looking for either:
directly to UGKG3
to KC1 then i can use kies
or even to JH1 then i can use kies
(the three file version of the downloads would be much appreciated seeing as they are the only ones ever to work for me---i only ever successfully flashed using files i downloaded using guides at androidsoul.com)
thanks everyone i hope this is the last thread with this problem i will have to post.
Go to the general section, there is a thread there on canadian i9000m. It's a compilation of resources. In it you will find a link to a stock KC1 that you can update from. I am currently on my phone, I will post a link when I can.

Got it. Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1022445
It has a 3 file version for you.
update:
before i try that i found a 3 file version of KG3 and flashed it, it said it was successful but when i boot up it get stuck on the flashing S screen, so i went back to JVQ again, does this have anything to fo with a .pit file or something, and i will try the KC1 link soon, thanks
I routinely go back and forth between roms, testing things and trying stuff out.
Here's what I'd do if I were you. Flash JVQ or JVR, the 3 part rom, with 512.pit (and obviously repartition) with odin. This will fix your partitions just in case something went fubar.
Once you have that working, grab the official bell KG3 by using CheckFusDownloader (download link is in first post, its easy to miss). The GUI version doesn't work for me so I suggest you get the CLI version. The command to get the latest Bell rom is this:
Code:
CheckFusDownloader_v0.5 -dl I9000UGKG3/I9000BMCKG3/I9000UGKG3/I9000UGKG3 GT-I9000HKABMC GT-I9000M
You will have to copy the FusCipherUtil.dll library out of our kies installation to the same folder that you have the CheckFusDownloader exe. This is generally in C:\Program Files\Samsung\Kies\External\FirmwareUpdate\ but if its not there google around and I'm sure you can find it.
Once you have the tar file flash that as "phone" and hopefully you should have a working phone afterwards.

[Q] i9000m CWM flash KC1 or KG3 baseband/modem ?

I'm a dev and I've spent 2 hours reading and trying...
Can I flash KC1 or KG3 from ClockworkMod 4 or 5 ? I'm on Linux and I avoid ODIN if at all possible.
I flash back and forth between CM7 nightlies and various MIUI ROMs. I need my SIM to work for s/w testing, for data and voice.
This i9000m phone is pretty new, was a Virgin Mobile model (pretty much Bell) and I use a SIM from an MVNO of Bell. (President's Choice.) With the stock ROM this worked without unlocking.
I tried some ZIP files for these basebands, meant for CWM3. I also tried replacing the modem.bin in the latest CM7 nightly. Nothing I do makes Settings -> About show a baseband other than "I9000XXJVK".
When I do a search for networks, it eventually shows me: 302610, 30220 and "CAN Rogers Wireless Inc." and I have emergency service I believe.
At the dial keypad I can't make "*#1234#" or "*#0011#" do anything.
Thanks !
No thoughts ?
I managed to get KC1 and KG3 loaded fine when installed along with Darky ROM using heimdall.
But when I install CM nightly, it overwrites the modem.bin.
And when I then use heimdall to flash the KC1 or KG3, CM says "Baseband version Unknown".
Same when I flash a modified CM zip with a new updater.sh and a removed modem.bin over Darky.
EDIT: Solved. I guess I need CM7/MIUI specific modems from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1158783

How do I downgrade back to stock Froyo after upgrading to Overcome 4.1.0?

I have T-Mobile Galaxy Tab 7.
After using Overcome for a day, I think I prefer Froyo. Could anyone guide me as to how I can go back to Froyo 2.2? Also, in the process of upgrading to Overcome, I upgrade the tab to 2.3.6 gingerbread. Is it possible to just uninstall the Overcome and use gingerbread? Please guide me thanks.
yes, just follow overcome guide again to restock.
That is by using Odin to install the GB-Stock-Safe from overcome site.
With that you will get GB samsung stock, without anything overcome at all.
You will get the dialer, so in theory you can make phone call with the right modem.
Unless you really prefer Froyo stock from T-mobile that doesn't have dialer, you can get download the firmware and flash it. (if you can find your firmware version)

So all I need to do is install GB-STock-Safe with odin and I'm back to gingerbread? If that's the case, I would like that, I like gingerbread. Also, after I installed overcome, I did get the dialer but when I installed my AT&T sim card, it wouldn't detect it at all. I then used Galaxy S unlock tool from the market to unlock. I was able to unlock it and then the Tab was able to recognize the AT&T sim but when I dialed a number, it would automatically hang up. How do I fix that? Is there something I need to install to get the phone working? thanks a lot!
have flashed a different modem before?
T-mobile has a different frequency. You may be able to flash AT&T modem or other modem via CWM recovery.
There is a modem thread in the dev section.

Could you give me the exact directions please? I'm new to this. thanks
you have managed to flash overcome 4.1, you can't be that new.
First go to your setting, About, and note down your phone Baseband
that is actually your modem version.
Now, if you restock back to GB Safe stock, you will not be able to do what I said below, because this is based on CWM recovery, which is included in Overcome Kernel.
The good thing is, once the right modem gives you all the functions (call, sms, data) you can then restock to GB stock safe and the modem won't change.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069727
and download a few of the modems. Maybe a JPZ, a KM2, an AT&T modem, and T-Mobile modem.
Put them in your sdcard like when you flash overcome rom.
reboot to recovery
choose to install from sd card
locate the modem zip file and install it.
reboot and try out your data, sms, and phone calls.
If no good, reboot again to recovery and try different modem.
It is a hit and miss for some people.
If you already restocked and has no CWM recovery, you can still use Odin to flash just the modem.
wow it's working! i downloaded JPZ modem and did installed from internal sd and now i can finally make phone calls!!1 thank you so much! btw, can I now go back to stock froyo or gingerbread and still keep the voice? also, if I were to just use odin to flash the modem on a stock foryo galaxy tab, i should be able to make phone calls right? again thank you so much!!!
yes, that is right. The modem should stick, if you downgrade to GB stock safe.
Having said that, if you downgrade to Froyo and the package contains a modem.bin, then it will get overwritten. Then you need Odin to flash the modem again.
What network are you in? As long as you are not in T-Mobile network, you should be fine. I myself own a T-Mobile galaxy tab, using JPZ modem in Australian Optus network. I can make calls and have 3G/HSDPA data connection.
I'm using it on AT&T... i don't have a data plan, but if I were to get a data plan, would it work with the JPZ model or do i need to use anothe rmodel? thank.s
Hard for me to say. I don't know much about AT&T
It seems like HSDPA in AT&T is 1900 MHz
I am pretty sure most networks are on 2100 MHz (Europe, Australia, Asia)
Can you get a data plan SIM and try it out, and try the AT&T modem in the modem thread as well?

I tried AT&T modem but I lose voice communication.

this external link

implies that modem_bell_i9000.zip lets you make voice call using euro rom, and has data as well.
Hey, I was trying to install ICS after downgrading back to gingerbread from overcome.
So, after get the CM9 and gapps from humberos website, I put them along with the overcome kernel in the root of internal sd and reboot in recovery however, after flashing the CM9 zip, I cannot see the overcome kernel anywhere. So i proceed without flashing that and after rebooting i get stuck at galaxy tab logo. can you help? thanks
You wasted quite a lot of effort.
You should go straight to ics from overcome.
try flash overcome kernel using odin (the tar version of the kernel)
Then boot to cwm and flash cm9 rom again followed by humberos cm9 kernel for P1000.
But if you have patience, wait a day or two. Humberos will have newer rom+kernel that fixed slow wifi and quite a bit.
Meanwhile you can flash stock safe again while waiting.
