[Q] How to Understand my phone and model? JP3, JP4, JP5 or all of these?

Hi,
I would like to understand better what is what with respect to my phone. FYI, purchased with Optus (Australia), using Three (AU again of course), rooted before with one click root for Titanium, then got upgrade to 2.2 Froyo through Kies (great now Skype works, if wifi doesnt drop). Then rooted again with z4root. I now got it on 2.2 for about 3 days and trying to get the most out of the phone. Below info on my phone and I would like more explanation on what is what.
Baseband version I9000DTJP3
(what does baseband do, why ends with JP3?)
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #7
(what does "kernel" do?)
Build number FROYO.DTJP5
(why now JP5?)
PDA:JP5 / PHONE:JP3 / CSC:JP4
(why JP3,4 and 5?)
Is it OK to have JP3, 4, and 5... or did something go wrong during my upgrade and should it all be JP5?
Internal 2.01 GB
DB data 133 MB
SD card 14.4 GB
Ext SD card 15.9 GB
So mine is a 16GB model right?
On "My Samsung" Australia website I can choose between:
GT-I9000
GT-I9000/M16
GT-I9000/RM16
GT-I9000T
GT-I9000T/M8
GT-I9000/M8
Which one is mine? What does the M, RM, and T stand for?
Any suggestions on getting the most out of my phone? (wifi fix my post 1, post 2, lag fix, how to create my own boot animation?, how to call record?, other possible issues/solutions)

Your on stock jp5 which is the optus rom.
Baseband is your modem
PDA is your rom being jp5
CSC is your apn settings for your specific carrier being the optus network
Your details provided are what it should be so no probs there.
Im with virgin and my sgs is gt i9000 check your box
As for getting most out of your phone flash jpu.

Read the FAQ that's all over the place. That's why its there

unlocking samsung galaxy from verizon
i tried and with the htc droid i did it but with the galaxy icant see if someone out there can thanks

There's an easy way
I just unlocked my galaxy s thanks to "galaxy s unlock" app found in the market.
It was easy and fast, also well explained. It doesn't even require any code, just a reboot. I had to reboot manually in order to access the phone after the automatic reboot and didn't have any problem to use an orange sim card 2 minutes after completion.
I am on I9000 froyo 2.2.1 (bought 2.1 10 days ago).
My phone was locked on bouygues telecom (french network).
Hope it works for you !

Unable to unlock at alll
Hi.. I tried unlocking using Generate Unlock Windows. But it always threw nv_data.bin not found error.
Then i saw this thread and tried with 2 apps on the market:
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool
Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Froyo
but with both I was asked to root. I tried installing root through 'Update.zip' but it threw "update.zip e:signature varification failed" error
I am totally struck. Please help!!!!

Did you read the post#6 at all? Try reading again. You can not use update.zip files with 3e recovery. You need to be rooted to use these tools. So, again, try reading the link posted in post#6 again.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU AND HELROZ IS A GOD!!!
This totally worked for my Bell Samsung Vibrant GT-i9000M rooted with Superuser (from App store).
If anyone wants the official Bell unlock code it's 09182086, BUT it never worked for me even after 3 days of talking to customer service (over 6 hrs) and going to a Bell store. The number was verified 4 times by Bell.
One of the tech guys even gave me another code 62189513 but it also obviously didn't work for me, but it might for you.
If none of the codes work then use the app developed by Helroz and give him a donation as Bell and their $75 dollar unlock fee can kiss my [email protected]@.

Hi,
I have a question regarding my current Android Version and whether I can install CM 10.0 or not.
PDA: I9000POJV7
Phone: I9000XXJVO
CSC: I9000BOGJV3
Firmware 2.3.3

[email protected]#2
Build number: Gingerbread.POJV7
I have CWM installed, at least I have an app called CWM Manager v1.50 those this autmatically mean that I have root?
In the CWM Manager app it says "Current kernel: CF-Root 3.2" so i assume it is rooted right?
The reason why I ask is that this phone is from France even though I am from Germany, so it has this software branding of "Bouygues Telecom".
Can this lead to any problems?
Can I directly install CM 10.0 without installing 2.3.6?

Hi, I have japan galaxy S ( SC-02B).
To unlock this we need to put this from dial pad *7465625*638*# and a menu pops up to enter MNC/NCC code and secret code. After entering MNC/NCC of your network it will successfully lock to new network and you can use SIM card of that network. That method works for any network and phone use to remember the entered code, so you dont have to enter code everytime, just once is enough.
Recently i moved to cyanogenmod 10.1 with modem binary of sc-02b flashed.
Now i dont see any network and at every reboot it asks for SIM network unlock code.
Can anyone help unlocking or where to find this sim network unlock code.

Warranty question, how do I un-root it? AT&T Tab using "stock" 2.3.3 XXJQ1

Warranty question, how do I un-root it? AT&T Tab using "stock" 2.3.3 XXJQ1
Love this forum, it's been so helpful.
Anyhoo here's my process of things:
1) Purchased an AT&T Tab when they were selling the refurbs for ~$215 back in May 2011.
2) Flashed it to Overcome (thank's alterbridge86 and Overcome team!) Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074759
3) Enjoyed the crap out of it
4) Tab developled a hardware issue where part of the screen would not accept touch input
5) Called up Samsung and they issued a Warranty Claim! Reference: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/service/warranty/SGH-I987ZKAATT and USA SAMSUNG Customer Care 1-888-987-4357
6) Thought to myself that sending them a custom rom'd Tab would be bad, so I installed the "stock" Gingerbread (thanks Chainfire!) Reference: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854
So now here are the specs on my tab:
Back of the Tab case says:
Model: SGH-i987
SKU:SGHI987ZKA
AT&T

You think I'm cool if I send it in for hardware warranty support? If not, what else should I do? I'm a noob about this stuff.
TIA (Thanks in advance)

You can see my post here:

The long and short of it is, once you've gone custom ROM on an AT&T Tab, it is completely impossible to back to fully stock. This is because there is no full image of a stock AT&T ROM available, specifically, no working bootloader as I understand it. Other people have disagreed before with me on this claim, but no one has ever succeeded nor suggested how it could be done.
You can, however, get close. You could flash back to AT&T ROM, and have everything stock except for the lack of a boot animation if you follow the instructions in my post.

If you follow the Stock Gingerbread link I posted above (#6) it works just fine. I have a full boot animation, both visual and sound. Works great.
Well, I sent off the Tab to the repair facility in Plano Texas today. I'll update this thread with Samsung's findings and if I'm charged any thing for the repair.

Got the tab back last night. No charge at all for the work. They re-installed stock AT&T Froyo.
Only problem is there's now some dead pixels on the display smack dab in the middle

[Q] GT-I9000 - Gingerbread; Baseband Unknown; Signal Icon is "Prohibited", no service

[Q] GT-I9000 - Gingerbread; Baseband Unknown; Signal Icon is "Prohibited", no service
Hello,
I am working on a phone for a friend, which requires a firmware upgrade. I have roughly a week to get this done, or my friend won't be happy (I loaned them my daily driver phone).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S (Model GT-I9000) that I odin'd from Eclair (2.1) to Gingerbread, Android 2.3.6, package title "XWJW1". Originally, ODIN failed due to some careless error on my behalf. But after some careful examination and configuration, I managed to get ODIN flashing Gingerbread to the phone.
What I am missing though is a modem.bin (baseband) or a modem package that is compatible with Gingerbread. I suspect that the Galaxy S I have now is looking at the baseband from Eclair 2.1 and not communicating with it since it is too old.
The baseband version ID shows "Unknown", and the signal icon has a circle with a line on it, more like a prohibited sign.
Could someone please assist me in finding a baseband that will fix this issue? I would appreciate a timely response.
Cheers!

Nevermind, figured it out myself, had to update the modem using the correct baseband.
Friend is happy.

I am precisely having the same issue. Can you plese let me know where you downloaded the modem.bin for baseband.

unlock, root, efs backup, install custom firmware from on a branded GT-I9000

Hello Folks,
the last days I have read so much, but all tutorials I read are pretty old or lead me in a dead end road.
Could somebody give me some infos what to do and how I get to a good result for my dad's Samsung GT-I9000
Unfortunately I have no windows computer here, which gives my headache with tutorials based on a windows connect. what I have:
- Mac OSX 10.10.4
- Heimdall 1.4, Kies, SmartSwitch installed
- Samsung Galaxy S i9000 (branded from 3 Austria - Hutchinson)
this phone was unlocked from a shop before, but my dad got no "unlock number". it has worked unlocked for some years. I wanted to try out if I can get into recovery by pressing "Vol.Up - ON" (no home button) and it just restarted. since then I get the popup for using "unlock PIN". even a working 3 SIM card from a friend does not work anymore. Android Eclair just shows a SIM symbol in the upper right corner with a red exclamation mark.
If possible, I want to update to a pretty new Android. I have read the post here that Coderom with Android 5.1. even runs on this model fine.
If I would like to jump from this pretty old firmware to such a new one, do I need to root, unlock it first and flash step by step newer Android version? or is it possible to flash the Coderom immediately (after root, unlock and probably a recovery installation)?
If a custom ROM is flashed, is the phone still SIM locked?

First I have tried to backup the important data from the phone (only contacts and photos).
Until now I could not backup the efs folder/partition. (probably I need root first, right?)
I could hardly connect Kies with the phone, but I have not got any data with it. And I got an initialise error if I wanted to update (so 2.2 or 2.3 was not possible). An info box showed to use Smartswitch.
So I have used Smartswitch on the Mac and could connect via USB to the I9000. I have seen public folders and made a backup of the contacts and pictures. An upgrade was not possible too. Thus, the 3 branded Android Eclair is still on the phone.
With "Vol.Up - ON - Menu" boots the recovery.
With "Vol.down - ON - Menu" boots the yellow construction figure state for Odin. (download)
No play-store on the phone. Only google market (where I have not found anything useful). I have searched on apkmirror and could not really find apps for Android 2.1.
---------
what would you suggest to do and in which sequence? (without windows)
- root
- unlock
- backup efs folder
- install clockwork mod
- format somehow f2fs ?
- flash coderom
(do I have to care about german language too? or are most distributions CM etc. multi language?)
thanks for any help!
Michael

It is strange, I have problems now to get into that recovery with the three button combination. Downloading modus works fine.
=>>> Now I got it....I must hold all 3 buttons the same time and wait 2 times for the Samsung logo. After that, I need to leave the power button but not the other 2. That starts the Samsung Recovery.
