Hello...i am having signal problems with my second hand galaxy s -international device..i know it wasn't originally bought from my country..so i was hoping there is a method to find out for which area it was deisgned so i can install a corresponding radio to improve signal... e.g india,korea,us e.t.c ..
thanks in advance!
well it is not like what you think, any rom from any location you flash on your phone it should work well, the best is try to flash a new stock rom on your phone and see what happens, roms including 3 files (pda,phone,csc) with repartition activated is recommended.

Bump.. 10 char
You know what country you are in .
I would just flash latest modem for that area .
No point if it was an Indian Phone flashing that modem of you are in Iceland .

When I flashed my phone with a popular custom firmware everything worked fantastic, so I flashed a friend's SGS as well, but the GPS simply died, in applications like Twitter and Maps it's like the GPS function is off.. I've now tried 3 different roms, they all work om my phone but the GPS is still dead on my friends phone... Can someone please tell me what is wrong and even better - maybe have a sollution to the problem?

I doubt the GPS is damaged by a flash. More likely something on the system got corrupted. Try a factory reset and/or a full flash with partitioning, using Odin.
Flashing has messed up some files more than likely popular custom rom no guesses which one .
Flash to stock rom to see if that fixes the problem.That fails take it to a Samsung Service Centre .

Samfirmware says "1 file select NO .PIT", should I download the right PIT and ignore that message? I understand that a .PIT is necessary for a Re-Partition?

Hi! I had the same then I found that assisted GPS was turned on and the mobile network is not everywhere supports it.
Check with this: *#*#3214789650#*#* at Application Settings check Operation Mode. It should be standalone.
But of course it can be anything else... And you can check the debug logs with adb too.
hi every one
i just downloaded il orange rom 2.3.3 from sammobile i tried million times to flash it with odin , odin every time says pass but the i9000 just still booting .
i tried to remove the battery , to use pit file with the rom , to flash with defferent odin versions but it still the same , odin says pass but the phone booting all the time .
the rom is a tar file .
( every else rom "not tar file" working fine , but i need to flash the original rom )
any body can help me please ?
Download this guide. It is a direct link from the sammobile site.
How long are you waiting for the phone to start up. If you aren't waiting up to 30mins it is not long enough.
You should receive all the files required within the .zip file you downloaded from sammobile.com. If it was a single .tar file put it in PDA, if it is .pit file as well use that as well.
Does that help?
thank you , but i waited more than 30 min until the phone had become very hot then i feared to broke it .
it's a single tar file , should i use pit file with it ?
( in the guide samsung explains how to flash with non single file rom )
If the pit file came with the package then yes use it!
Can you give me a link to the rom you downloaded, and a link to the page you saw the list of firmwares for you.
What rom were you using before?
Also copy and paste what is says when you finish flashing, a screenshot would probably be better.
And lastly have you tried another computer?

3. i tried another original roms like cellcom rom its the same , but another roms like 2.3.6 and ics working just fine only the roms from sammobile do this to me .

Make sure re-partition was ticked when you use the pit file.
Is there any reason you need a stock rom??
Ok it could be a bug with that FW somehow, try the links here
If the link is not there or after you try and flash the above rom and you still want to install the FW from sammobile then try after using the most similar firmwares above.
Finally if all that still doesn't work then download and install this.
Hopefully after installing that you can install the original. Or just stay with one of the other original roms above. I don't think having a carrier version of the rom is that important, but you know better than me because I assume it is important in your country.
If you do decide to stick with any of the firmware above then make sure you type in *#262*your imei# and select your correct csc code (3 letter code). Changing the selected code will reboot and factory reset your phone!

first of all thanks to you for helping me
second : i need afirmware with arabic , hebrew & english interface build in - only the il original one have this .
third : there is 3 providers in israel cellcom pelephone & orange , orange have a special band not like the others & this is the provider i use .
4. all the non original roms and ics's have too much problems , like radio dosn't work , low signal , market unfotunetly stoped , Restarts suddenly.
If you have a special band are you sure you have the i9000?? Is it another version of i9000 like i9000T or something. Check your box or the back of your phone after taking out the battery.
Again have you checked the firmware here it is the original firmware. It has JV9 firmware and therefore probably has your languages.. and once the correct csc is in and your APN is correct all should be fine.
This is all assuming that your phone is actually gt-i9000 not another variant.
Also the links i provide are generally quite stable and so have little or no bugs. For example this is known to be quite stable. However i am not sure about the languages..
Just found this link click by searching for the firmware name in google
And then if that doesn't work then you are not meant to have that update. Use the link for the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile, it is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and apn attach it to your computer with Kies and it will update to the latest.

Above link is a thread on xda, that has stock firmware... find one you want the same one if you can...
http://samsung-updates.com/gt-i9000-samsung-galaxy-s/
Is a link to list that has same firmware you are trying to use from sammobile.
The reason i am giving you these links is because the files that you downloaded from sammobile.com may be corrupted. These are alternative links of the SAME firmware but different files.
Finally if these do not work and you have the same outcome that the phone does not boot. Then download and install the firmware called I9000JHJV8 on sammobile.com. It is the earlier firmware however should fit your requirements. After setting the CSC and APN connect your phone to your PC. Use Samsung Kies to update your phone.

i thing you are not understanding me , the proccess of flashing the phone completes just fine and the phone start booting but it still booting ( the booting animation working fine ) it get not into the system .
i think the problem is the single tar file because all the roms with three files and icses working fine .
if there is a way to un.tar the file and made from it 3 md5 files to flash with odin maybe it will works.

you are very kind person . thank you very much . thats it .
every thing works fine .
I've had this samsung galaxy ace s5830i (my first android) for 4 of the most frustrating months now.
The problem first started with the phone being stuck on EDGE regardless of signal strength. I tried flashing it with new roms but had zero success. I tried manipulating the menu under *#197328640# but that led to a dead end as well. Every time I tried to select WCDMA only, the network bar changes to a "circle and cross" type of thing. I tried to dial *#7465625# to check for network locks but everything reads off i.e. no locks of any kind. Finally, I tried to select a new radio band by dialing *#4636# but that operation crashes a "com.android.phone" everytime.
So in summation, service mode changes don't help and flashing the rom doesn't help.
Recently, I to switched one of the strongest networks available (other than the one I'm on) but the phone is stuck on "emergency calls only" mode. When I try a manual network search and select the network to which the SIM card belongs, I get and error telling me that the SIM card can't register onto the network.
I have used these SIM cards on nokia phones and other samsung galaxy ace devices and have experienced none of the problems listed above, even in remote areas. The support guys of my network say nothing is wrong with my account.
So there you have it. Is there anything left that I can try?
Flash the latest firmware available for your region in Odin. Because this will wipe and reinstall your modem and other data as well as your ROM. If that doesn't do it then it must be a hardware problem, isn't it under warranty?
By the way just to rule this out, check you haven't lost your IMEI number with *#06# as this can also cause network access issues.

The IMEI ok. What section of the operating system controls the com.android.phone process or the phone's ability to select or switch bands? In my lay man understanding, this is where the issue lies and every time I flash, this region remains unchanged
Try changing manually CSC of the ROM.That's the most reasonable thing that I can thing of right now...if it don't work after changing it go to samsung service..

If you mean the *#272*IMEI# trick, then I already tried that and samsung has no presence in my country so no service centre to speak of
I have your exact same problem .
and I've been looking for a solution since last week , i'm starting to think its a hardware problem.
I "worked around" it by flashing the phone with a rom that locked the device and then reflashing it with the original rom. At least now it picks network but the other problems haven't left i.e. still no 3G and I can't edit any menu under service mode et al.
On another note, if you have the time, try flashing with different modems... maybe a miracle will happen
There seems to be something wrong with basebands of latest stock roms.Try switching aeroplane mode on and then off.I regularly lose signal..and get stuck without signal until I reboot.

Make sure of your phone model (Under the battery) because there is GT-S5830M GT-S5830C and GT-S5830I.
In my case, I have GT-S5830M and the only modem that worked for me is PHONE_S5830CVJKL4.tar.md5.
Maybea changing the modem will fix your network problem.

You can use a file called Odinatrix (found somewhere here on xda) to split single firmware files into pda, modem and csc. I, on the other hand, still get a circle and cross whenever I set the device to wcdma only. The interesting thing is that setting it on auto picks up 3g but very rarely (twice in many months) and for a short time (like 3 minutes). still looking for answers

A guess based upon the last reply .
Your EFS folder is wrong or damaged .
Suggest you flash the correct stock firmware that came with the phone .
