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.

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.

So you are using jvk with the jl2 modem? Any incompatibility issues you've noticed so far? Thanks!

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....
Ok so here's the deal.
I flashed JVK 2.3 (Darky's Rom v10 rc6 DarkyCore Kernel 2.2) and so the baseband is JVK i'm assuming
I'm having issues regarding the 850 band.
Q: what's the best modem for Bell users ?
Q: am I able to JUST flash a modem ? if so, how ? (through ODIN or CWM?)
Q: Do I just put the modem file into the modem thing in odin and hit flash? can I flash a Froyo 2.2 (JL2) modem onto my Gingerbread (2.3) ROM ? If not, what's the best Modem to use ?
I'm also having issues regarding downloading MP3's -- they all fail like those mp3 finder apps. But I can preview. WTF?
also my GPS isn't working - does a modem fix this ?

I am running KC1 - I have tried JL2, JL2 with JM9 GPS fix, JK4 but KC1 is the best to date and gives me best GPS performance to date. If you use non "native Bell" modem ie new Gingerbread modems there are steps to take to ensure 850MHz still works. You will need to review this forum I think. I have not tried such modems to date. You can use Froyo or GingerBread modems - no issue.

Yes, CWM is best. I have many modems in the SDCARD root, quick and easy to change.

Use CWM - get the modem files from Perka's File stash - look for the 850MHz section

Se above. But you should search this forum under GPS. If GPS has never worked you may have to do some hardware work. ie the contact from the PCB to the GPS antenna is pretty crappy and you may have to disassemble the SGS, stretch the contact spring a bit then re-assemble.

If using Odin(Definitely easier to use CWM as Jim said) you put the file(make sure it is for odin and not CWM) into the "Phone" section. And if on Gingerbread you're probably using CWM3 so if flashing it via CWM make sure it's a CWM3 version of the modem zip
Is it possible to use/make a CWM flashable version of the kc1 firmware for the i9000m with froyo bootloader? I'm currently using a gb rom (SURFACE by samhaleke) with Galaxian kernel. I'm having issues being stuck with the "Emergency Calls only" problem with nothing working to fix it and thus, I've decided to try to revert to stock before getting a new sim card.
Currently with Bell Canada, which is why it must be the UGKC1 build.
Thanks!

Yeah sounds like it could be a sim card issue.
Locate Perka's file stash on the market, and you'll find it in that application.
Good luck on getting the new sim card (if that is the issue)
I know that there is a cwm kc1 flashable modem file around. That would work too at least as a first bet.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but i need more than just the modem. Im trying to find a cwm flashable version (maybe even deodexed/rooted if possible) of the full firmware. Ill have access to a computer soon so ill be able to flash with odin anyways. If tjat doesnt work, new sim card hopefully!
not a cwm version but samfirmware does have the odin version of KC1
otherwise its just the modem portion that has been kept in circulation in cwm format
did you search the forum for March when KC1 was issued? does Ramad's thread have the full package still?
Already checked.. Its alright though, i got my problem fixed after talking to bell directly. Something wrong on their end. Haha. Thanks for the help though.
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.

Please teach me about modems.
I'm on CM9 nightlies but my modem seems to be an old one from the Gingerbread days (XXJVK). Data reception is often poor so I'd like to try a newer modem.
How do I choose a newer/better modem? I'm thinking of just flashing a UK one from the latest official stock Gingerbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804682) to see if its any better.
I've not been able to find clear information or instructions about which modems are compatible with CM9 or how to flash them.
How can I backup/restore my current modem? Nandroid backup, or is there a quicker way that just backs up the modem?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Just note down the details of your baseband and firmware in about phone, that will be good enough to get back to it, if ever you want it by flashing them again, by downloading them again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

Thanks for the advice but this raises further questions. Which of the modems in that thread is the newest/best, which is for "my region" (I am in London), and are they CM9 compatible (they all say CM7 in the filename).
Odin must be used to flash a modem? I thought it can be done from recovery?

read the header, its good for CM 7 and CM 9, only you need to identify the modem by the last three alphabets, which can be same as the ROM/modem you are using or you can compare with the firmware list for Europe modems to select
these (CM7/CM 9 modems) are .zip files so you can just use update.zip from SD card but original gingerbread modems are in .tar format and has to be flashed with odin
OK, I'm still a bit unclear. How can I return to XXJVK after flasing? this one? radio-cm-7-GalaxyS-JVK-signed.zip
Three alphabet letters same as my rom/modem? Well my rom is CM9 nightly so no 3 alpha characters there. My modem is JVK but the JVK isnt a reference to my country, thats the XX bit? And XX 2 characters is not anywhere in these modem filenames. If I flash from JVK modem to JVK modem what have I achieved, nothing?
