Apparently, it worked in my case. I have a GT-I9000M and I used XXJVU

Yes, the Bell (North American) version GT-I9000M has the same insides as the International version GT-I9000. If I remember correctly, the only difference is that the GT-I9000M has a different modem in it, which uses the 850mhz /1900mhz band. whereas the International version uses different bands. The 2100 and the 900 I think.
So happy flashing. Just remember to grab the correct modem file for your phone from the development section. Most ROM's I have found are geared towards the international version and may not contain a modem file that supports the 850mhz band right out the box.
I am in Canada and I use the recommended I9000UGKG3 modem.
Hope I have helped.

What do you mean by international I9000? Also, how do I know if my phone is international I9000?
Any phone from outside of north America is international unless you brought it in south Korea and Japan.

Have some patience, that was just an hour... Anyway, did you flash a modem? Because otherwise it's not really going to work.

which modem should i flash to? is there any good rom that works with my provider??
No clue. Since you say TMobile tab works well, i'd suggest that one. However i'm not an expert by any mean, so you might want to look around/wait for more answers.

The T-Mobile US modem is the only modem known to support 1700/2100 AWS, so if you want 3G it's your only choice!

Look for the standard TMO 3G modem in Roto's modem switcher thread in the dev section.

[Q] SGS Vibrant I9000M upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.4!

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade with the recently leaked European Gingerbread 2.3.4 image to the Bell's Vibrant I9000M?
I'm currently running Froyo 2.2, firmware UGKC1. Have downloaded the official 2.3.4 from samfirmware.com and already rooted and unlocked my phone.

It is... i would suggest going this route instead of through the one from samfirmware.
I use darky's ROM. I upgraded to 10.1 (it is 2.3.3), then recently upgraded via CWM to Dark Core 2.7.3 (which has the 2.3.4 GB firmware). Beware that the core is beta at this time, and so far in 2 days i haven't had any real issues on my phone.
www.darkyrom.com, then check the forums.
We are quite in Sync. Co-incidentally I upgraded to Darky's ROM(10.1) about an hour back. I'll give a try to the Beta now. Pls do share your experience with the beta overtime.
Thanx

So far so good... other than my battery. Although i do have a momax 2700mah battery, it only lasted 30ish hours before it died... including using superpower to manage night time usage. I should be getting more than that with this battery (and i have done the reconditioning with the battery since i got it).
Even with 10.1 i got a day and a half or so... but the half day doesn't work for me as i need it for a full day.
Now that i've done one round of recondition on my battery, i'm anxious to see how good the battery will last now.
10.1 works with the JVP kernel fine (at least some of the features for it). I had to upgrade gtalk to the video talk version myself though (although i'm sure it'll be included in the next darkyrom).
Let me know what you think of it...
Hey guys i am also on the I9000M through bell and would love to get the gingerbread on here but the last time i tried i couldnt connect to my 3g for wireless and i couldnt call out or recieve calls please tell me the guide you used because man that gingerbread was fast and smooth.

you can get gingerbread, but you need to take the extra step of flashing the kc1 modem, or do the 850 band tweak on a euro modem

Do you do the KC1 modem AFTER the GB firmware flash or during?...

I could say after if you using Odin.
But before starting ask yourself what do you really want....
Just the 2.3.4 stock or a custom rom (like Darky's), rooted?, Aply a new theme?

[Q] How to get phone to register on Canadian network with gingerbread baseband?

Hey guys,
Has anyone been able to successfully flash the gingerbread baseband and get their phone to register on a Canadian network? I've had nothing but issues with it. Does the leaked gingerbread baseband lack support for the 850mhz frequency?

I think the stock one is JK4 for JB. But for jamaica, I'd suggest looking at the modems your carrier is on, those would probably be the best.
Ok after doing some research i found out that the network I'm on uses the 900mhz frequency.. which modem uses 900mhz as default?

A modem with 850mhz unlocked would probably do great but what I think would be best is to find the base of your carrier's modem.

Well, JK4 is actually UGJK4. So let's say you have JK3 (UGJK3) and it works great, you know that the newer modem, JK4, will work well.
But now that I'm thinking about it, did your phone come with GB? If so, it's quite hard to us to know which modem is came with. Modems are by area so (almost) every carrier uses different one. There's a modem thread in the Dev section (stickied), you might have to try a few different one.

When i got the phone it was running Froyo which I later updated to GB.. my brother's Cappy has the UCKK4 and he's still running GB.. we got the phone the same time and both updated the same time so I'm assuming that is what I had before I upgraded to JB.. I'm on JK3 modem but i can't seem to flash JK4 or any other modem.. it always ends with an error...

U can use Odin3 v1.83 (the regular Odin) to flash a modem as well. Just pull the modem.bin out of the cwm zip of the modem u want, get into download mode, put the modem.bin in the PHONE tab/slot in Odin and flash.
Get the Odin here if u don't have it already... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33577757
If u r running a JB Rom, then u will have to use one of these modems...http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html

No need to give up, you can flash modems after modems without any problem. It just a bit time consuming.
To be safe, backup your efs folder so that if your IMEI is unknown again, you can use the backup.

From what i know of the Captivate specs...the gsm 900mhz frequency that it can operate on is just the 2g/edge network. U said u saw the H before on GB rom (custom rom or leaked firmware, i'm guessing?). That letter H can be changed to read whatever letter u want. Just saying.
So in reality the problem may not be the modems (although some modems will work better than others for sure), it may just be the network service that your provider has in your area... It may just be low/bad cell signal.
What other frequencies are used by your provider ? Compare that with the frequency band specs of the Captivate and you will get a better answer on the quality of service you should expect. Maybe your provider has a coverage map that you could compare to as well.
