I have a Model SGH-T849 Galaxy Tab, Firmware V 2.2 from T-mobile
I've been reading that a European version of firmware will allow some tabs to be used to make phone call. ([How To] Flashing Euro Firmware on Samsung Galaxy Tab Video Included) I found this thread...
Will this work on my tab?
I would like to know before I start and brick it.
I've been reading and reading, but have not found a defitive answer.
Thanks in advance for any info or ideas.
Any rom besides a stock t-mobile rom will enable voice, with a compatible modem. Don't mess with that thread on installing a euro rom - that's so last year.
Flash the stock-safe JQ1 rom, flash the CF-Root v3.3 kernel to root the tab, then install the Rotohammer modem switch.
With this set-up, which is what I have on my t-mobile tab, you will have to switch between two modes: 1) voice+EDGE data and 2) 3g data only, but you can't have both.
Rangercaptain, You've been very helpful...

I presently only use the tab for wifi. Its more of a toy. I used you post for using it in airplane mode and turning off data. It works great, thanks.
I don't need edge or 3g, I really don't even know what they are. Only tmobile voice and wifi.
I have not rooted the tab because i have been unable to figure out how...I know there are two ways, oneclick and x4root, but am afraid to screw up my tab.
I need a step by step instruction to get it all done. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks for all you help and support so far.

rangercaptain,
I downloaded: CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS and Odin3 v1.7. From this thread: [11.05.2011][CF-Root v3.3] JJ*, JM*, KA*, JQ1 - su+busybox+CWM3/RFS
Am unable to find Rotohammer modem switch.
Am I going in the right direction?
I use the Odin3 to link the tab to my computer and then flash JQ1. I then flash Rotohammer when I find it.
Thanks.
You have everything ready, except the roto hammer modem switch files.
1) flash the JQ1 rom to get gingerbread. There are two ways to do this, one from chainfire, or one from team overcome (they call it stocksafe v5).
2) flash the CF-Root v3.3kernel to get the root permission.
3) add the folders, files, and app to make the modem switch.
At this point you will have stock, rooted gingerbread on a t-mobile tab that can make voice calls.
You will have to do one final procedure to use a sim from another t-mobile smartphone and get the 3g data working:
1) Back up the /system/efs folder to your pc.
2) delete the files in the /efs folder on the tab.
The t-mobile wifi calling app isn't as good as skype, and can't do video calls.
Help, what have I done???

Followed the instructions to the "T" and can now make calls using my T-mobile sim card in my TAB. I'm still not sure what I did, but it works.
Thanks to Rangercaptain and the others on the XDA site.
You can't image how happy I am...It made my day.
Now flash the CF-Root file. You will need root when you come back asking about 3g.

hi all
i picked up a used rogers galaxy tab 7".upgraded to 2.3.3 official via kies.
GT-P1000R
rooted it.
unlocked it.
now i wish to use the phone capabilities and have a few questions.
i see in a couple posts that you no longer have to flash a complete rom,just a modem.
is that info correct?
i see that the jm2 modem seems to work best with the rogers tab,so do i just flash the modem with odin and that gives me the voice capability.
or do i need to flash a complete rom(European)?
also there is no dialer program so where do i get that at?or does it come with the modem flash.
is there a better modem than jm2 for the rogers tab?or the bell i9000 modem?
i am in canada
thanks,jeff

Careful what you flash though, if it's from XDA any ROM should do you okay but Samsung official ROMs may contain locked boot loaders. Catch up on some reading before doing anything.
Also i suggest that you do a complete backup of your tab before flashing anything else so that you could revert back in case of issues. Stock ROGERS firmware is hard to find. And if you do a backup I wouldn't mind a copy of it as long as you keep your personal information out. As a matter of fact, what i am after is a un-rooted fully stock ROGERS ROM. As i have deleted my original backup, and would like to revert completely back to stock, I would be very thankfull if you could help. But none the less you should do a complete backup, something like the roto or nandroid backups.
Try the OVERCOME rom, it's a great place to start as a noob to flashing, they have very detailed tutorials and the ROM is good.
EDIT: And the OVERCOME rom does work with the bell i9000 modem just fine for phone calls. Although the volume on the tab is not the greatest for a speakerphone.

darned,i rooted and unlocked it earlier this week.
i definitely would have done a stock backup for you.
can i unroot?i used oden and one of the cf rooting images.
unlocked using galaxy s unlock from market.
can i even revert back to stock?if so i will do a backup.
i have done nothing else to the stock rogers 2.3.3
i searched my hardrive but kies must delete the firmware after flashing.

Thanks for the offer. But no need to go through all of that unless you can un root with something like super one click (fast and easy, but I don't think that will work for you). If your tab is still under warranty you might want to learn how to root and unroot and restock and such (its all covered in the forums). Otherwise I don't want you playing with your tab and have a "bad" flash trying to help me out. Do read up in the dev section before you start flashing custom ROMs.
That said if you do feel comfortable flashing and decide to make a backup for yourself I definitely wouldn't mind a copy.

hi
not scared of bricking the tab,i have been flashing samsungs for the last couple years,captivates etc.my last tab i did a supposed gps fix which ended in a bootloop.
i managed to get it back but with a modified 2.2 firmware.then kies would not let me upgrade to 2.3.3(unofficial firmware error)
my problems have always been actually returning to stock.
in recovery i have the orange clockwork recovery that has an option to do factory reset.will this take me back to unrooted and unlocked???
if so consider it done.
i will need direction to do a full backup after that.
jeff
Doing a hard reset will NOT un-root or re-lock your device (as far as I know). The factory reset will clear the data and cache and should not touch the system. You have to un-root your device using the method you rooted it with or something along those lines.
As far as a backup is concerned, creating a system backup has been covered in the forums before. There is plenty of detailed instructions on performing a backuphave a look at the Roto Backup method.
Just picked up a galaxy tab ( rogers )

I would like to "give back" something
for all the HELLp you guys have given via these forums

If you are still looking for the a copy of the STOCK system before I start to play...
I will try to figure out how to make a copy for you
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.
weird,
this external link
http://www.talkandroid.com/21900-sa...ers-bell-hacked-for-voice-calls/#.TzDI56fnitI
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.

Hi all. Couldn't find any posts about this specific problem so here goes:
I'm trying to CM10 on the following device:
Model number: GT-P1000R
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: P1000RUXKG1
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: GINGERBREAD.UXKG1
I've rooted the device with CF-Root v3.3 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=885734, CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip) which installs CWM 3.0.0.5. When I reboot in CWM Recovery mode and try to flash the zip, I get the following error:
assert failed: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "galaxytab" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "galaxytab" ||
getprop("ro.product.device") == "GT-P1000" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "GT-P1000");
Click to expand...

I got around this by removing the assert line from updater-script and reflashing and although I see the logo, I get stuck in a boot loop as it tries to finish. Any way to get CM10 working on my GT-P1000R? No one else seems to have this device (it's GSM on Rogers in Canada).
P1000R is just a normal P1000 (M or R, plain P1000)
I have not tried but I am sure CM10 need CM9 first.

Seeking help flashing my SGT P-1000R

I have had the same difficulty flashing the rom for my GT-P1000R, as most roms are designed for the generic GT-P1000 and upon flashing check for the version and stop because ours is specific to Rogers. Exactly what did you do to modify the updater-script and what is the file called in rom ZIP package?
To be honest, ever since I was foolish enough to upgrade to Gingerbread earlier this year I have regretted it, as my Bluetooth no longer works with my HID keyboard. As I believe in going forward is best, I am looking to upgrade to ICS, but as a last resort going back to Froyo (if I can find it) would get me back the functionality I lost.
I would appreciate any help you can provide as I have scoured the net and found very little that deals specifically with our version (GT-P1000R) of the SGT.

Perhaps, but every time I try to flash a rom made for a P1000, the install fails indicating in the error message that it has detected my tablet as being a SGT P1000R, hence my original inquiry. I am sure it is simply a question of updating a config file to fool the installer, but which one?

Thank you for the links to the Overcome method, and I now have successfully upgraded my former SGT P1000R, Android 2.3.3, to a SGT P1000, Android 2.3.6 - A significant improvement indeed! Unfortunately my test to see if my Bluetooth HID keyboard works with my new and improved SGT came up short - Will pair, but not connect.
After doing some research and coming to the sad conclusion that only an upgrade to ICS will do to get the aforementioned functionality to work, I tried AKOB and CM9 upgrades, following the instructions available. Each and every time I tried the upgrade, the tablet went into an endless loop of reboots indicating an error, which was displayed too quickly to read. I ended up having to restart the Overcome process again to salvage things.
Alas it is late and my quest to get ICS installed on my tablet (unless someone can tell me how to get a connection to my Bluetooth HID keyboard in 2.3.6) will wait for another day. Thanks anyway for the help.

IIRC the endless boot loop is due to the install process complaining that it couldn't find some partitions. When you get to that point you should just reboot to recovery and install the zip again for the 2nd time and it should work then.
I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:
Which files for GT-P1000R running on GB2.3.3?

Hi! First of all, thanks for all this information! I Also have a GT-P1000R (Rogers) running on the same gingerbread version UXKG1 and rooted with the original thread. So, literally, my tab is in the EXACT situation from the original thread. I am assuming that in order to flash any custom ROM's, i need my tablet to be recognized as a GT-P1000 . I am reading the manual, and i am wondering which modem to use. Or do I just need to do an update considering I am already running Gingerbread 2.3.3 ? My overall goal is to have my tablet recognized as a GT-P1000 (not with the r) and eventually upgrade to ICS or higher, also for the primary reason of using a bluetooth (hid supported) keyboard...among other things.
I am familiary with Odin and these instructions are great, I am just slightly unclear what to do in the case of already being on gingerbread 2.3.3, but working with a GT-P1000r. Thank you in advance for your help!

I finally have a fully functional SGT P1000, running the latest version of CM9 ICS, and I must say this has breathed new life to my tablet! My sincere thanks for all the assistance I have received, despite what at times must have seemed endless silly questions for the more veteran members here on xda-developers.
Now time to get used to the ICS interface and some of the quirks (e.g. mapping of storage) that come with this new version of Android. However, thanks to the obvious removal of all the "bloatware" that Rogers added, the performance of my tablet is phenomenal! :victory:

I also posted this above to another reply, but am worried it will get missed.
I have the same table you do (GT-P1000R) with Rogers, and it was rooted with the same file you used in this original thread on UXKG1.
Do you recall if you just had to do an update with overcome (since you were also running 2.3.3 , UXKG1 as per your first post) , or did you do a complete overhaul.
If you had to do the entire process, which modem did you use? these are the options given...
-GSM based GT-P1000 Tab (Asia, Europe, Middle East, Occeania/Africa, rest of world, etc..) : use JPZ MODEM
-North American T-Mobile Tab user: use T-Mobile Modem
-AT&T (USA), Tel Cel , etc - use JK3 modem.
I am assuming i would use the NA Tmobile based, considering Rogers is Canada's 'sister company' to T-Mobile? but i want to be sure...
Thanks for the help..as you know..there isn't a lot of info on GT-P1000R version..
Not quite.
Rogers is using 850/1900 MHz , the same as AT&T USA
the term NA T-Mobile there is to differentiate that with the UK T-Mobile, which use the usual European frequency.
so At&T modem ?

Awesome..thanks for clarifying. JUST in case...I will Clarify then that I should use the A&T , etc modem version? Any other tips I should be aware of ...as I am working with a rogers version? Thanks.
Yes, use AT&T modem.
No other tips regarding special treatment, they are identical to normal P1000 except that the modem radio is made to work on 850MHz for the 3G part.
Anything you read about P1000 here applies equally to a P1000R
And you can use the Overcome method to get yourself a CWM recovery to flash ICS.
The link to its latest files and guide is in my signature.
If you are prepared to wipe out everything and start fresh.
Get the GB-stock-safe-v5 package (it has rom, odin, windows drivers, modem files)
and the PDF (read from page 7 onward)
and the Overcome Kernel 4.0 tar format.
Only the kernel, you don't need the Overcome Series 7 rom, if your eventual target is ICS.
Once you completed the step of flashing the kernel, you can reboot to CWM recovery and use that to flash ICS/JB, then its corresponding gapps, and you are done.
Last question...(i hope)

This might sound dumb - but because i've boot looped my galaxy s I9000m before (that STUPID m at the end...just like the r for my tab..) .. i want to make sure what exactly will be happening. I am familiar with Odin and flashing kernels, not so much modems...
My end goal is to EVENTUALLY flash ICS or J/B , but i haven't thought that far as to which one to go with, etc..so i might not do that part for another week or so -whenever i have time.
If i only do the instructions you gave me (for the rom, odin , etc) and the kernel, my tab should be all good to still use in the mean time, until i decide to flash ICS or JB?
I'm sorry if this is a dumb question.... I appreciate the assistance, and will be giving 'likes' and donations for SURE for all the help.
Yes, the guide is for Overcome Rom which is stock Samsung based gingerbread Rom.
The look is very closed to stock, but the kernel is improved.
Many are happy with just running it.

I am sorry, but as I read the thread through some more...i am still a bit confused of a couple of things. I know this is really probably a simple process...but bricking my tablet is the last thing i want to do.
Answers to the following would be so helpful:
1) Do I need to install the modem? I am currently on GB 2.3.3 unlocked and rooted. My tablet and root information is the same as the original thread. It is rooted with
CF-Root-TAB7_XX_OXA_JQ1-v3.3-CWM3RFS.zip from the following thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384 . I have not installed a modem before..so not exactly sure when/why this should be done and when it is not necessary to. - or do i ONLY need to go into odin and flash the kernel and rom. I am trying to get my tablet to be recognized as just GT-P1000 not with the r. It is the modem that will change how my tablet is recognized?
2) Do I need to insert a SIM card when I flash Overcome modem (if necessary) and kernel and Rom?
I do have a SIM card capable tablet, but I dont actually have a sim card for it. I use WIFI - and tether it from my phone if i need to. My service provider in Canada, Sasktel, blocks SIm cards from being able to use it in more than one device at a time (lame I know) , so buying a SIM card and not using the radio doesn't make sense. that being said , I DO want to be able to use the radio with a SIM card if i need to, like when I travel overseas and purchase one for their carriers.
Thanks again!
Your current rooting method leave your tab as P1000R, that is why I recommended overcome from scratch.
And I didn't know you are rooted and have cwm
Modem is for mobile network.
Wen you flash with Odin "repartition" , your modem will be wiped out.
A modem is required.
if you never use mobile function, any modem will do.
Remember being P1000R, if you are overseas other than with USA at&t, you only get 2G.
In Europe and Asia the UMTS freq is 2100Mhz and your tab is incapable of doing that.
You not need SIM to flash overcome.
Since you have cwm, you can just flash overcome ROM series 7 from cwm. Try that.

There is a really good CM10 (JB) ROM: sapir-rom.blogspot dot com Sorry for this type of link, but I can't post links yet :$
I just just that, went into my already cwm and flashed the rom - must say...impressive! wifi works (connected to two devices for trial, as i've had issues with this in the past) and works great.
Thank you SOOOOOO much for the help on this. you answered sooo many helpful questions.
TBH - i love this ROM , and i would love to keep it as this. but it is does not have HID bluetooth compatibility. any plans for the future to have this available on this ROM?
MY GT-P1000R is now without the stupid "r" !
I have a SGS Captivate I have been using as a sports tracking device and as a music player for the past year. I now have a few questions before changing ROMs on it.
History >> Two years ago I soft bricked it while on CM9. Not being able to resurrect it at the time I purchased an SGS3 and set the Captivate aside for a while. I resurrected it using a KK4 Heimdall One-Click and immediately flashed it to CM10.1. Having been on CM10.1 for a number of months I upgraded the device to CM10.2. After doing so I noticed the bootloader was listed as unknown and the baseband was KG3. I have checked this in terminal emulator and using a "Samsung Info" app from the PlayStore. I've verified the KG3 modem is for the i9000. I checked in the updater-script of the CM10.2 I downloaded and installed and observed it being coded for captivate and for i897. So, I am not fearful that I downloaded the incorrect ROM.
I have known of the above discrepencies for months and have not been terribly concerned. I do not know if they could have something to do with the fact that I have not had a sim card in the phone since before I resurrected it. Even though I do not currently plan to use it as a phone I intend to have it in a condition to do so if needed. That, and I was interested in flashing a ROM I have seen recommended several times by @BWolf56, Gamerzrom Legend 4.0. The questions I have stem from the fact that I will be going from a ROM based on Android 4.3 to one based on 4.2.2.
To correct the bootloader and modem I intend to flash, again the KK4 stock ROM (Gingerbread). This will be with the Heimdall One-Click from the forums, Odin is not an option - I run Linux. Once installed I will verify bootloader and modem. Based on the Gamerzrom blog I will then install CM10.1 before installing their ROM. (This could be avoided if I were not going back to stock.) At each step I will wipe and format as indicated, I will probably wipe and format to excess.
[Q1] Is this the best approach to get to having the 4.2.2 based Gamerzrom installed from where I am?
[Q2] Should I not do this at all, the donwgrade, even to stock, could seriously damage my phone?
[Q1] Is there anyone who thinks I could safely shortcut the above by simply flashing the KK4 bootloader and modem?
(If I can still find a download on the forums.) This would eliminate going back to stock GB and then to CM10.1.
[Q2] Is there no reason to worry about the bootloader and modem? The discrepency is simply an artifact based on there being no sim card in the phone and I would be best off advancing directly to flashing Gamerzrom from CM10.2.1.

1: don't need to flash cm first but you do have to flash the ROM twice to repartition it then flash the gapps.
2: flashing stock should recover/fix your unknown bootloader issue but unless your imei is unknown, you shouldn't have any problem using as a phone if needed.
I do suggest flashing KK4 before going to GamerzROM to avoid any issues.

The imei is still present at least according to "Samsung Info" and using getprop in terminal emulator.
Okay, flash stock KK4 rom, no need to flash CM10.1, but flash Gamerzrom 4.0 twice.
I was getting CM10.1 from Gamerzrom 3.0 installation instructions for those coming from GB. I was thinking going back to KK4 would reset the partition scheme to GB. I guess the double flash of GLE4.0 takes care of the repartitioning back to JB layout.
Thank you.

That's exactly it, whether you flash cm or gamerz twice, it will do the same thing and repartition. Just don't forget the gapps after.

Thanks, I wouldn't dare forget GAPPS.
In fact, I have already downloaded both GAPPS and the ROM -- that was about 6 hours ago. I probably will not flash until Monday. :{
You know, I am a bit surprised at how regularly posts are made to the Captivate forum. More often than I would have expected.

While it's an old device, it's really great and some of us keep supporting it
Mixed Results with increased understanding
Well I went through the process I outlined above, or tried to do so.
I downloaded a One-Click stock rom, android 2.3.5, from this thread. It is actually the same leaked stock rom I used two years ago. I flashed it twice per instructions to get the bootloader, doing so to correct my unknown bootloader issue. After this was installed I used a "Samsung Info" app to verify bootloader and modem. The modem was KK4, yet the bootloader was still unknown. I repeated the process twice more with the same results.
Rather than download a different stock GB rom I proceeded with the remainder of my plan. I flashed Gamerzrom Legend Edition 4.0 from here on the recommendation of @BWolf56. I wiped, formatted, and then flashed twice as he recommended. The ROM didn't boot, but not to worry I repeated the process. Still no boot. I next went ahead and flashed CM 10.1.3 and booted into it. The bootloader was still unknown and the modem was now listed as KG3, an i9000 modem, again. My guess is CM did this since this how it was listed before I went back to stock. I now went back to Gamerzrom and successfully flashed it. (Still showing bootloader unknown and modem as KG3.)
I am setting up the phone this evening. So far in addition to installing ROMs and adjusting settings I have verified wifi works. Later tonight I will be testing the GPS and bluetooth. With the "wrong" modem my results could be decremated, but I don't expect them to be. When I was previously on CM 10.1.3 and 10.2.1 and on the KG3 modem all worked. Bluetooth, wifi, and GPS worked that is, I didn't try calls because I wasn't using it as a phone and didn't have an appropriate sized sim to borrow.
If I need this device as a phone I will first try it as is with bootloader unknown and modem as KG3. If that doesn't work I will flash an i897 modem, probably the KK1 modem, and see how that works. If that doesn't do the trick I will try an earlier GB stock One-Click rom, either KK1 or KJ3.

Modem doesn't affect BT so it should be fine. It's odd that Gamerz didn't boot but glad it turned out fine. Also, having a different modem won't change anything about the bootloaders but that being said, I highly doubt it would stop you from using it as a phone.
You're seeing I9000 modems cause the ROMs were often built off the international version of the Captivate. Both I897 and I9000 work well on the device and you can flash whichever one gives you the best results in terms of networking (which you don't seem to be using anyway).

True, the kernel controls BT and wifi. I'm not sure why I was mentioning BT w/ modem.
I think I didn't organize my thoughts too well in that last paragraph. Closer to what I meant was that if needed as a phone I would try it as is >> unknown bootloader and KG3 modem. If I had any troubles with it working I would try a different modem. This is where I was erroneously thinking that the i9000 modem may turn be a problem. If that didn't fix it then I would go with another stock ROM to give another go at fixing the bootloader issue. I actually think/hope it would work as it currently is. The phone has repeatedly booted, so at least the sbl (?) secondary boot loader partition is intact.
BTW, the GPS seems to be working well, even though I have a 10/08 build device. Bluetooth, on the other hand, is not pairing with my Linux laptop nor a cheap bluetooth speaker. The same held true when I was on CM 10.2.1 with the cappy. Both, the laptop and speaker, pair with my SGS3.
Could the reason the Gamerzrom didn't flash straight off is that I was coming from a stock TouchWiz 2.3.5 rom instead of from any JB rom? Thank you for helping.

BT not working can be cause it wasn't updated in so long or kernel issue. Or could simply be that it doesn't work with your specific devices.
I flashed mine off stock KK4 (same one you flashed), tried to boot without flashing it twice, which of course didn't work but then went back in recovery, re-flashed and it booted just fine.
