hi everyone,
I'm looking for an Australia modem file for my i9000T, i'm using I9000XWJVH, baseband: I9000SRJv1. If any one have that file can i please have it?
I flashed my phone to some Europe firmware long time back. Now i realize my 3g signal is dropping while others remain connected.
Here are the ones i have used
DVJP9
UGJL2
UGKC1
I use the some of the modems in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9874879
It is from the captive forum but most of the modems came from the galaxy s and most of it came with the 850 Mhz 3G data band that use the T models.
just try a couple ones modems to see wich are the best on your region.

I recently updated to Darky's Rom, 8.0, wipe edition, and although I really like how fast it is, and the battery life seems ok, I've noticed a strange issue.
I'm on Rogers in Canada, with a Bell Galaxy S Vibrant (i9000m) so it only gets UMTS band 1900.
While on the stock Samsung firmware, I'm often in an area where I get say 1-3 bars, but it seems to work fine.
On Darky's rom, it's constantly going from the 1-3 bars to no signal
In areas with good-excellent signal, it works flawlessly.
I'm guessing this is a bug with the modem he is using in this rom?
Any ideas anyone?
The modem he uses is the latest one XXJPY. Only thing I can suggest is try one of Doc's ROM's and choose the modem you had before you installed Darky's ROM and see if that affects performance. Some modems perform better for others purely because of their location (Normally Europe tbh mate). If you see better signal from a different modem on Doc's though and its a real problem to use Darky's, just make as much of a similar version or maybe one you actually prefer in his kitchen and install R64's theme ontop. Won't be much different tbh mate
Instead of flashing another rom why don't you just try flashing a new modem, in the JL2 thread found in the general section theres a JL2 modem file thats flashable with clockwork. Try just flashing the modem to see if it helps you out.

Thanks, I found it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10188028&postcount=177
I may give that a whirl, at least to try it. It seems the general consensus is that the GPS does not work anywhere near as well with this as with the one Darky uses, but I definetly want to compare, so it's good. Thanks

That's pretty neat, I hadn't seen that before
I'm running darky's 8.0 with a jl2 modem. Just find a modem that is flashable via cwm and flash that on top look in one of my recent posts, there is one in there. Then all you need to do is manually add your access point name after you flash the modem and you should be good.

JL2 Modem with 8.0
I'm running darky's 8.0 with a jl2 modem and the signal and GPS functions amazingly. I'm on Fido (Rogers Network) and highly recommend flashing the JL2 modem to fix your issue.
there you go!
Just flash with CWM
thanks guys, i'll give it a try.
btw I did some more investigation by going through the band selection.
Rogers, who I use, uses GSM (EDGE) on 850mhz and 1900mhz, and UMTS (3G) on 850mhz and 1900mhz
The i9000m supports GSM (EDGE) on 850mhz and 1900mhz, and UMTS (3G) on 1900mhz
Using Darky's rom, GSM 1900mhz and UMTS 1900mhz are working. GSM 850mhz is NOT working, hence when I'm in an area with poor 3g signal, it is dropping to EDGE, and since I'm not getting the 850mhz GSM band, I'm dependent on the 1900mhz GSM band, which is iffy in this area
So I installed the JL2 modem, and sure enough 850mhz is BACK!
Woot! Thanks people
I'll do some tests with the GPS later and see if that is still working correctly.

Great to hear! Enjoy this awesome ROM and if you haven't already, please consider donating as Darky has put a lot of work into the creation of the ROM.
no issues at all since switching back to JL2 modem, looks like this is a must for Rogers users.
Thanks again all.
Works for Latin America SGS
Thanks for the info. My phone works very well now.

Is there a way for me to verify the version of my modem? It looks like it's working better ever since I flashed JL2 modem, but I just would like to check...
Hello everyone!
Im from Malaysia. I flashed my GT-I9000 about with Darky ROM 10.2 final which is based on JVQ ROM (Gingerbread 2.3.4) about a week ago. Everything else is great except for the poor signal strength. I suspected this could be due to Europe Modem. Can I flash my phone with Asia modem? If yes, what the best asia's modem version to be used with DarkyROM JQV v10.2?
My phone:

Hi guys
I'm running a Telstra (australia telco) tab on Overcome 1.4.5 custom ROM.
This carrier has an 850Mhz 3G network just like AT&T or Rogers over in N America.
I am unable to connect 850Mhz in HSDPA, only in GSM.
I have tried both JMF modem and stock Telstra modem (i.e. stock from carrier), same issue. If I force the 'WCDMA' setting I cannot see the 850 network at all.
Anyone else running Overcome and using 850Mhz 3G? Help appreciated
i have the same tab, and im on overcome 1.4.5 still, grab the modem.bin from rotohammers thread, by memory its the i9000 modem, ive been using that and its been working perfectly.
cool, and you're on NextG?
BTW I've tried locking it to 850Mhz via @#2263#, and it is still choosing the 2100 network (3Telstra) lol. A guy on whirlpool forum is telling me its a random bug, heard anything about that?
You can get a CWM flashable bell modem at the first post of the overcome thread.
yeah I'm trying that tonight (the JMK modem) cheers @ work now don't have the cable with me...
FWIW the jk3 (typoed jmk above) modem did the trick.
It wasn't included in the overcome 1.4.5 thread but IS on the 1.6 threads, go figure
not sure why the stock carrier modem didn't work? but not fussed

Yes it is the same as the international one.
i am able to flash any i9000 rom on my i9000m and it works fine...
I've flash darky's Roms (from 9.5 up) and now i'm currently using Dark Core 2.7.3_4 JVP running the F1 JVP V9 ROM and love it.
What did you need to know?
And i9000t = i9000?

For GT-I9000M, any rom would most likely work, but you might get issue with the modem.
If so, do what's stated here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438
and you'll be able to run almost any modem
How can I find out what is the original bell mobility froyo rom? I want to reverse my phone back to bell's settings.
Can someone please help!
Bells firmware is KC1
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA Premium App
The I9000m is very similar with the exception being that it uses 850mhz band umts and GSM rather than 900mhz.
this is why you might have issues with the modem. International version modems support 1900mhz band so you may not notice the issues immediately as bell runs both 1900 and 850 but its best to at least flash a modem that uses what is available. Some people think the 850 band is better but unless you check to see what band is in use all the time who really cares as long as it is available.
As for the firmware. As mentioned the most current is known as KC1 which is the last 3 digits of the whole thing. You can find it at samfirmware.com (you need a username to download - they seem OK - no spam) and then flash it via ODIN (search for 1 of about 18000 tutorials here or see the one at samfirmware.com)
Good luck all.

Hi,
Can someone inform me which modem is the best one to use for the i9000t version for telstra in Australia, as I have looked around and there are so many recommendations which has got me confused
Try googling "modem dance". This is a process which will allow you the use of all bands with any modem.
I am using the latest JVT modem with 850 NZ Telecom band.

My phone is the i9000m Bell and I am on TeamHacksung v.14 and wondering what is the best modem to use?
Right now I am using UGKG3. It works but its not very strong for signal.
I used UCKG3 and it's fine on 850Mhz which is what Bell uses. To check you're on 850 dial *#*#0011#*#*
I can't post links but google 850 i9000 for instructions on how to add the 850 band if your phone isn't connected as 850 CDMA
when I do that dial this is what I get
UMTS: HOME(CS+PS)
RRC State: IDLE
WCDMA 850 band 5
FREQ DL: 1087
FREQ UL: 862
CELL_ID:*****
PSC:7a
RSCP:-101,ECIO:-10
Well you are on 850Mhz but your signal does seem low, maybe a low signal area?
If you poke around in this thread you can try other 850Mhz modems, some might work better in your location. Finding the best modem for your carrier/location seems to be a lot of trial and error
thanks rax22... I will check around.
I tried this test and it says:
WCDMA 1900 Band 2
I am in Southwestern Ontario Canada.

Same with me. I'm currently in an office with poor reception, but my settings read
UMTS: HOME (CS+PS)
RRC State: IDLE
WCDMA 1900 BAND 2
Reg PLMN 302-610, IsPCS? 1
FREQ DL: 587
FREQ UL: 187
CELL_ID:0x_______
LAC: 0x2936
PSC: 142
RSCP: -110. ECIO:-14
I was unaware that flashing a different modem may improve my reception/service, I thought it was a sort of works-or-not thing. If anyone would care to help as well that would be great
(sorry to OP, don't mean to steal thread, only gain help from it as well)
Are these two showing the signal strength?
RSCP: -110. ECIO:-14
If so what do they mean and should they be higher or lower for better signal. I have been trying lots of different modems and trying to figure out what works better for me.
thanks.
You can't use anything other than 850/1900 on Bell. 850 is for downstream, and 1900 is for upstream. KG3 is the only radio that is known to work with Bell.
I tried the JVT modem today and it worked. Ran a speed test with wifi off and got some decent results. I did go back to KG3 though.
Can I ask exactly which KG3 modem file you are using? There seems to be a few different ones floating around with different names and file sizes.

I9000 on Bell here best running modem i found is KB3 fastest buy far on ICS 4.0.4 DK 3 Devil kernel 1.1.6b CFS

Where did you find that because it's not in that link that was listed here. Also, what region do you live in because that could have something to do with it as well.

nope
850 and 1900 are two different bands. Both can work both ways.
I'm using the UGKG3 , Since this is the baseband they gave me with my Bell Samsung S Vibrant, I managed to find an ICS rom using UGKG3 here on Xda. Might want to try it out.

No, it does not work for Bell phones. I already tried it and it messes up Hacksung rom badly.
Best modems for Canada
JL2
KC1
KG3
JVU
JK3 Maybe??
Not in that order
You can download the app perka's file stash it has multiple 850 band modems for ICS and GB
