which roms work with which phones

i got a bell i9000m ugjk4 froyo... now how do i know what roms will work on my phone without messin it up... like what exactly does the ugjk4 mean? can i put different ones on my phone? sorry im a newb at this lol

Hey,
That "ugjk4" is the current firmware version that your are using.
The Bell i9000m is compatible with most roms for the i9000 international and its compatibility (or incompatibility for that matter) is usually discussed in the first post that details the information about the rom.
If you every do flash a rom that is incompatible go to "samfirmwares" and download UGJK4 from their site and reflash through odin.
Let me know if I did not answer your question as you were a little vague.
Happy Modding,
Alex

No probs.

He isnt talking about flashing modem or CSC?
Also, you will notice I told him to look at the OP for the ROM he is interested in BEFORE he flashes for compatibility issues. I did not say that every ROM will work ok.

I understand what you're saying and have some questions if you don't mind. I've been wracking my brain over searches but haven't come across anything that lays it out clearly.
By way of example, I'm running JPU on my i9000M which changed my product code to "Nordic" and my csc/modem accordingly (which is what I'd expect given that JPU isn't a Canadian firmware). I've since flashed a Canadian modem, changed my product code back to BMC (Bell Canada) and enabled the 850 band. Are there any other changes to be concerned with/aware of given the mixing of pda/phone/csc?
Many thanks in advance.

[Q] How to check modem?

How do I check what modem my Captivate is running? I'm pretty new to the Android community so I don't really know much outside of how to install roms.

Go to settings, then scroll down to "about phone", then find the baseband...it's the last three characters...ie: JL4

Thank you very much.

I don't understand the differences between modems. Mine says JK3 after i flashed Assonance v5 rom and have wifi but no data. Im on Rogers' network btw. Do i have to change my modem version?

No, it's not best to update to the latest version. Different modems work best in different locations.

And using a Modem for another device in the line(Vibrant, i9000, 850mhz i9000, Nexus S, etc...) can be beneficial as well. The i896 Modem have both the Audience Chip and HSUPA, but nobody made a kernel that supported it, so it died out. The modem that came with Cyanogenmod is JL6 I'm pretty sure, which came from a 850mhz i9000, but branded Vibrant(T959)

Yes, one of the first sticky threads in Android Development forum:
【MODEMS】【100+ Captivate I897 ♦ I9000 ♦ CM7/MIUI ♦ ICS】+【Google Location Map】

Has no one got anything on SM-S260DL, this device is great and can really use some support. Please anyone if your able to create a CF Auto Root for SM-S260DL that would be great. I don't understand why I can't find anything for this phone, is there an easy way to network unlock SM-S260DL as well? Any info would be great please guys, I have the stock firmware in case anything goes wrong.

Israeli Galaxy S Owners

There seem to be more and more of us appearing in XDA, and on the streets of Tel Aviv the Galaxy S is appearing almost as often as the iPhone these days...so perhaps it is time for an Israeli thread (similar to the Indian one) where we can share tips and experiences dealing with Pelephone, Cellcom and Orange.
Post and say hello...hopefully we will see 2.3.3 officially here soon so exciting times ahead.
If you are looking for something new to try while we wait, Simone101's Simply Galaxy ROM, based on 2.2.1 features a multi CSC just for Israeli users, so check it out. Always good to support devs who support our own little corner of the Android community.

Haide!
going on to have a big community

Does anyone have a flashable zip file of Pelephone's JJJP3 modem?
Thanks, I need it to be eligible for the Kies upgrade, if and when it arrives.

Check on iandroid.co.il..

I did, they just have the Pelephone firmware as a single tar. All I want is the modem.

the pelephone tar there is not working for me :S....
extract from the tar the modem.bin file
go to romkitchen make an update.zip that have just modem...
paste the modem from the tar to the folder and compress it to zip and flash it through CWM...
and i'm not sure that will help you...

Hmm..that sounds reasonable. If I flash it and it is a bum file in the end, can I just reflash another modem afterwards?

ofcourse... first make a backup...
if you try the a modem from the rom kitchen than change the modem.bin inside and flash it again... just for checking...
i didn't try to change the modem.bin but I flashed modem that i downloaded from the romkitchen...

Hi guys.

Battery, reception and GPS ( use gps aids, always have an updated LTO file get a fix in 10 sec every time)
in iandroid.co.il there is a pelephone stock version with 3 files for odin ( i know i put it there,needed one bad...)
So just so you dont need to look here's the link :

JVE is good at me...
GPS working good I used it at saturday when driving and I got 11/11 satellites...

Excellent....I had downloaded the big single file and then made my own flashable modem, just in case...but it is always good to know I can flash back to vanilla stock if I need to.
If you ever need a flashable multi CSC file for all Israeli providers, check out Simone101's Simply ROM thread, he was kind enough to make one for us.

Some custom ROMS are beginning to appear got 2.3.3, and of course the leaked pre-final stock, but no sign of the official release by Samsung. The new rumor is mid april, maybe.
All I know is I am going to stay with 2.2.1 until the official rom is released, has had time to mature and been put through it's paces by the XDA devs.

Any Israeli user get a kies update yet?

Everyone Having Baseband Problems, Look Here.

There are a lot of people asking about how to flash, why to flash new baseband for V30X Roms., Mostly in the IZS thread.
If Anyone asks anything about Baseband, send them here.
Now, look:
HERE Is the list of all LG Optimus Black Firmware.
Download the one that is for YOUR REGION.
Its a .KDZ file.
use The Automatic ROM converter by jes0411 ( HERE ) to convert the KDZ to bin/fls Format.

BASEBAND Flasher!
This pack contains the .fls file of V30B GER, but the baseband is the same in all versions AFAIK, so you all should be able to use it. And also included is the SmartFlashTool.
GER v30B baseband + Smartflashtool

HOW TO FLASH:
Olynth said:
Get the LGP970_V30B_00euro_CP.fls or whatever baseband you want/need , its ~8 mb and Smartflash tool , put them together in the same folder.
Open Smartflash tool, shutdown phone , hold vol+ and plug usb .
In Smartflash tool under ROM copy D/L tab select CP bin (browse button) , select the baseband you downloaded and press start , phone should reboot after its finished with no data wiped but do a backup of your data before doing this just in case.
Good luck

Don't really know but I would use the ku5900 baseband even then the only one I know is the korean v30i.
Well I hope somebody knows it for sure, I just wanted to say that I first flashed the baseband from N00BY and I found out that it is even better with CM10 and I even had Zeus 7.06 on my OB with the new baseband and there was absolutly np.
BTW baseband is NOT stored with a nandroid, because I flashed the new baseband and after that I went back to a older CM10 nandroid and had a different baseband than a few weeks ago, it even said V30b baseband.

Hi all
Tried flashing the baseband posted in huexx's thread and this one
The process works fine and says completed
But when I go to settings/about/baseband it shows xmm6160
Is this correct?
I'm not sure if this right, can someone please check there's and let me know what theirs is or what mine should be?
Thanks

It's okay, just check gps/call/sms works flawlessly....

ok cool thanks wasnt sure

i have on my OB the same baseband like rodga posted, sms and phone work fine, gps work and locates the sat. but it hard to get a fix even tho it finds around 4 sattelites but the time zone doesnt work, and it doesnt recognize my network as HSPDA but it does recognize my operator ORANGE.
i wonder if my question above is correct then maybe i can enjoy the last few annoying thing about owning a OB in my country, we got only froyo for OB here, no updates from LG for us:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:.

If you have ICS and flash a baseband of v10x or v20x, that is normal.
It is possible that you wont have any problems with that...

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster. There's a lot of great resources on this forum that have been very useful to me and I really appreciate it. Anyways I'm using Marvel v11 (which is great in every other respect btw, thanks @tantrums) on my P970 and meant to post to the thread there but it seems like my postcount is too low for that still. Anyways I'm having issues connecting to the data network and GPS of my carrier and I figure it might have something to do with the baseband.
I had a look in the settings and it shows the software version as 30b-EUR (screenshots attached). My carrier's stock firmware is listed on the lg-phone-firmware page (sorry can't post the link) as 30F. My first thought was that it might have something to do with the fact that I'm in Canada? So I downloaded my carrier's stock .kdz, converted it to .fls/.bin, and flashed successfully in SFT. I know the new baseband is on there because the Marvel one is named differently (1035.23_20110407). But I still have the same problem: no connection to mobile data or to GPS satellites.
I've seen quite a few posts (including n00by's) saying that all basebands are the same. Am I barking up the wrong tree here? Or is there something I might have overlooked?

Have you verified that the APNs are correct for your carrier? They can change over time by carrier. Some folks forget to set them on a fresh flash (I certainly have). Even a letter or number off can screw things up.

Can anyone get mirror links?
I can't download from any of those, can you confirm it's not just me?
Thanks

[Q] i9000 with CM10.1 bad WIFI and 3g signal

I've tried changing kernels but that doesn't do anything. Is there a different firmware/modem I can install onto this phone. I live in New Zealand so I'm guessing the modem that's on it now isn't suited for here. Can I just install a modem from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 ? or will that not work with CM10.1?
Hopefully I can get it sorted before I decide to sell this thing.
Cheers

Hey,
Strange, whereabouts in NZ are you? I'm in Auckland and I've had no problems befoe running CM10.1 in terms of my Wifi and 3G signal.
I think you should be able to flash in a different modem- I think most people recommend JVU not only because its a good modem but also because apparently it uses less battery.
From what I've heard you can flash in a different modem but I'm not sure.

I live in the Wellington region. I'm on 2degrees so that doesn't help so much since their 3g sucks. But yeah it's weird I can't even hold a Viber call on my wifi without it cutting out. Whereas on my Ideos x5 it was fine. I guess I might have to go back to gingerbread if I can't get a good modem :/
