It's VERY easy. Download the modem you want and put it on the root of the SD card. Make sure the modem is a CWM flashable zip. Reboot into CWM, install, then reboot. All done. Depending on where you live, will affect which modem you should use. If you're in the US, JK4 is a VERY good one.

Ok im on cm7 16... any suggestions on modems? I went to jk9 and it it works like **** :/ i tried going back to jk4 and kc1 but neither let me have service :/ any help is appreciated

Which one came with cm7?
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.
I dont remember little help please
if you have service with build 16 and don't have service after flashing a new modem. Take the modem.bin from the jk4 zip or whatever cm7 modem, and swap it out with the modem.bin in the nightly zip. Then flash the edited nightly zip and you should have service.

[Q] SGS Vibrant I9000M upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.4!

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade with the recently leaked European Gingerbread 2.3.4 image to the Bell's Vibrant I9000M?
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2, firmware UGKC1. Have downloaded the official 2.3.4 from samfirmware.com and already rooted and unlocked my phone.

It is... i would suggest going this route instead of through the one from samfirmware.
I use darky's ROM. I upgraded to 10.1 (it is 2.3.3), then recently upgraded via CWM to Dark Core 2.7.3 (which has the 2.3.4 GB firmware). Beware that the core is beta at this time, and so far in 2 days i haven't had any real issues on my phone.
www.darkyrom.com, then check the forums.
We are quite in Sync. Co-incidentally I upgraded to Darky's ROM(10.1) about an hour back. I'll give a try to the Beta now. Pls do share your experience with the beta overtime.
Thanx

So far so good... other than my battery. Although i do have a momax 2700mah battery, it only lasted 30ish hours before it died... including using superpower to manage night time usage. I should be getting more than that with this battery (and i have done the reconditioning with the battery since i got it).
Even with 10.1 i got a day and a half or so... but the half day doesn't work for me as i need it for a full day.
Now that i've done one round of recondition on my battery, i'm anxious to see how good the battery will last now.
10.1 works with the JVP kernel fine (at least some of the features for it). I had to upgrade gtalk to the video talk version myself though (although i'm sure it'll be included in the next darkyrom).
Let me know what you think of it...
Hey guys i am also on the I9000M through bell and would love to get the gingerbread on here but the last time i tried i couldnt connect to my 3g for wireless and i couldnt call out or recieve calls please tell me the guide you used because man that gingerbread was fast and smooth.
Right now heres what my phone status is
Model number GT I9000M
Firmware version 2.2
Baseband version I9000UGKC1
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
[email protected] #4
Build number FROYO UGKC1
Thanks in advance for any help
ps my phone is already rooted
you can get gingerbread, but you need to take the extra step of flashing the kc1 modem, or do the 850 band tweak on a euro modem

I could say after if you using Odin.
But before starting ask yourself what do you really want....
Just the 2.3.4 stock or a custom rom (like Darky's), rooted?, Aply a new theme?

[Q] H data connection gone after kk4

Since installing a kk4 ROM I no longer get H symbol for data connection. Any ideas as to why? I'm on Rogers network with captivate. Thanks
using modem ugkc1
When I switch back to apex. H data shows up again.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using xda premium
Really? This has been known and covered since the first I9000 FROYO Ports.
I9000 modem/kennels offer hsupa
I897 do not.
Sorry for the noob question. So i'm on TRusello effen ROM. Can I change to i9000 kernel and modem?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using xda premium
Not if you wanna boot up...
Firmware has to match kernel for gingerbread, on froyo you could mix I897 firmware with I9000 kernel and modem but on gingerbread it will Get stuck on the kernel splash and go no farther.
^ I honestly didn't realize this. (with Gingerbread that is) Thanks.
Try to see what modem you are using in the apex rom; it will be in the about phone section. Download that modem and flash that over the KK4 rom. Should work. (I had the same problem but with AT&T so i don't know what modem you use)
An I897 modem and an I9000 kernel or vice versa, will cause very awful static during phone calls.
Not true.....Mine works fine!

You are running I9000 kernel AND i9000 modem. ICS no clue wth that is so GB rules don't necesary apply. But I promise you it isn't possible to use I9000 modem with out static at the very least.

regarding bandwidth

hi all......I flashed my stock captivate to helly bean and my signal is dropping constantly and since I stay in India ....is there any way to get proper signals ?......please help me out ....if I need to change modem please recommend me one ......I was on vibrant before and used kb5 modem which had never run into any sort of problem ........now I'm on i9000xxjvt now ...thanks for helping
Happened to me too.
I initially flashed KG3, but right now I'm using the one that comes with LANIGHT 8.0 (totally recommend that rom btw) it's KC1 I think it works a bit better (might be just my impression).
Good luck!!

If your rom is jellybean, ics, cm, miui, or similar then u need to use i9000 modems for those. See this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16843698

I think the stock one is JK4 for JB. But for jamaica, I'd suggest looking at the modems your carrier is on, those would probably be the best.
Ok after doing some research i found out that the network I'm on uses the 900mhz frequency.. which modem uses 900mhz as default?

A modem with 850mhz unlocked would probably do great but what I think would be best is to find the base of your carrier's modem.

Well, JK4 is actually UGJK4. So let's say you have JK3 (UGJK3) and it works great, you know that the newer modem, JK4, will work well.
But now that I'm thinking about it, did your phone come with GB? If so, it's quite hard to us to know which modem is came with. Modems are by area so (almost) every carrier uses different one. There's a modem thread in the Dev section (stickied), you might have to try a few different one.

When i got the phone it was running Froyo which I later updated to GB.. my brother's Cappy has the UCKK4 and he's still running GB.. we got the phone the same time and both updated the same time so I'm assuming that is what I had before I upgraded to JB.. I'm on JK3 modem but i can't seem to flash JK4 or any other modem.. it always ends with an error...

No need to give up, you can flash modems after modems without any problem. It just a bit time consuming.
To be safe, backup your efs folder so that if your IMEI is unknown again, you can use the backup.

From what i know of the Captivate specs...the gsm 900mhz frequency that it can operate on is just the 2g/edge network. U said u saw the H before on GB rom (custom rom or leaked firmware, i'm guessing?). That letter H can be changed to read whatever letter u want. Just saying.
So in reality the problem may not be the modems (although some modems will work better than others for sure), it may just be the network service that your provider has in your area... It may just be low/bad cell signal.
What other frequencies are used by your provider ? Compare that with the frequency band specs of the Captivate and you will get a better answer on the quality of service you should expect. Maybe your provider has a coverage map that you could compare to as well.
