[Q] European (I900) Rom with Modem file for US 3G

I've searched for days through XDA forums but I finally gave up searching for answers and decided to start this thread in hopes of getting help.
I have a stock Captivate running Android 2.1
I would like my phone to be running:
1. I900 Galaxy S Rom - European Version
2. a modem file which will enable the US 3G radio that's built into the Captivate.
My understanding is that simply installing a European Rom version will take away the phone's capability to connect to the 850mhz frequency of ATT since the European Galaxy S only supports 900/1900/2100 bands so installing the correct modem file is important.
I don't care which Rom is used but a Froyo Rom would be nice.
Can anybody please tell me what files I need to download (tar, pit, csc, md5, etc.) and how to use them (which exact slots to put the files in using Odin 3).
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much!

There's a couple other ROMs that are similar in nature.

SOLVED - Sasktel (bell) phone running Darky's ROM

Ok so I'm running Darky's 7.5 ROM just loaded it and it's flying . i'm having issues connecting to my carrier. I"m from canada and run on a network owned by Sasktel. We get our phones from Bell and our current release is JL2 I think. I was running this ROM fine but wanted to see what all the hype was about .
Now the only problem i'm having is I can't register on my network and thus my phone isn't working as a phone, lol. can someone help me set it up. here are the frequencies we run on.
SaskTel
GSM - N/A
UMTS/HSPA - 850/1900
I went into the APN and set that up so I should have data I just need to get registered. I can see the network Sasktel but it wont let me register. I get the exact message when clicking on it
"Registering on Sasktel......You SIM card does not allow a connection on this network"
any help would be great, thanks
I tried going in here *#2263# but didn't know what to pick so I left it to automatic

I don't know.
When you flash back to official firmware, everything works fine again ?
This may sound funny but try 'sim unlock' your phone.

after flashing, your phone might have reverted back it's original lock which is to BELL.
I agree with the other reply stating for you to have your phone unlocked.

I unlocked my phone a while back and it's unlocked still, Network lock = off. and yes flashing to other roms specifically for my phone will work fine on the network. Is this because Darky's ROM is based on a European ROM JPY and i'm supposed to be running a Canadian ROM JL2?

Hi. I have a SGS straight from Sasktel here in SK. I checked my setting under 2263, and it is automatic (top one). After I checked it, it lost cellular connection for about a minute, then eventually came back (phew!).

awesome what happens when you go back into 2263 and click on the wcdma band, which ones are stared in there?I have 2100, 1900 and 900 starred but 850 is not.....Also could you post your APN settings. those are in settings, wireless network, mobile networks, access point names and then click on the inet.stm.sk.ca one and if it's not too much for you could you post them up here along with the wcdma band settings. Thanks bud

can we actually install darkys rom on BELL vibranat i9000M
i would like to find out if darkys Rom works with Bell vibrant thats i9000M from canada ?

well his rom is up and running fine yes, I just have to get the right setting to run on my carrier....I own a i9000m it's a bell phone that my carrier gets supply from. So yes his rom works great on this phone, it's so fast, I might try flashing a modem for the canadian phones and see if that works i'll post back

SOLVED - Sasktel (Bell) running Darky's ROM
So I figured it out, I was running JL2 and then flashed speedmod kernel to get 2e. I then upgraded to Darky's 7.5 ROM, when that came up I was unable to get on the network. I was getting an error "Sim doesn't allow connection on the network" error when looking in providers. anyways, I just flashed the JK3 modem and i'm back on the network with Darky's rom
I grabbed the modem from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237
I used JK3 because they were having issues with JK4 bricking for some reason and didn't want to risk it. now to just get JL2 modem some how

There is a JL2 modem floating around somewhere.
I am also running jk3 modem with xxJPY, love my phone now.
No more bridling issues

It's very simple, TURN OFF ANY/ALL lag fixes!!!!! Back your **** up. then you can begin
You phone should be unlocked but might not have to be.....mine was, you can grab sgs unlocker form the app market also, You have to be running 2e recovery. so check on that first by powering your phone off, wait till it's actually off, froyo vibrates when it's shut down. After it's off, hold volume up, home button and power till you see the i9000m then let it go. it should boot into recovery. If you were running Froyo then you will have a 3e recovery, we need 2e. Also you should check and make sure you can get into download mode, by powering off, volume down, home and power key. If you can't get inot download mode you have to fix that first. if you can proceed:
So grab the recent stable speedmod kernel from hardcore here DON'T get the development version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756&highlight=speedmod
depending on how you want to flash grab either the CWM or the other one which needs to be flashed via odin. Flash either or and your phone should boot with 2e. follow the instructions hardcore has posted and make sure you hit the thanks button for him .
After we have 2e installed you can grab Darky's ROM located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=814091
I used the non wipe one and didn't have issues, make sure you back your **** up before flashing anything. If you notice battery drain after you flash you could flash the wipe version just to make sure. anyways, Follow Darky's instructions to the T and dont forget to thank him
After his ROM boots, I grabbed a modem for our phones (bell, sasktel) I used JK3 because the search wasn't working last night but found this morning a link to JL2....i'm not sure if this is legit JL2 because I haven't used it but give it a shot if it doesn't work flash another on top (I can confirm JK3 works)
JL2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...1&d=1293577837
Grabbed that from a link Samdroid_G_S posted so thank him for that.
JK3: was from docs link located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846237&highlight=bell
you can thank him for that. I used JK3 because of the issues JK4 was causing. I wouldn't use JK4 but that' up to you.
again you can use either odin or CWM to flash the modem. once you flash the modem you should be able to register on the network. you might not have internet, so you will need to go in and edit your access point name. Located in your phone here:
Settings | wireless and network | Mobile Networks | access point names
If it is blank click the menu button and New APN, all you need for sasktel's is a name, can be whatever and APN, the APN should be "inet.stm.sk.ca" without the quotes. Leave everything else default and save it. you will have to click the bullet after you created it so it knows to use it. should be good after that. For bell just do a quick google search for bell apn or bell access point name, i'm sure someone has posted on xda also.
I am not responsible if you brick your phone, this is entirely on you if that happens.

Thanks man
That's what I have been looking for . A step by step tutorial how is the rom working for you I will give it a shot . I hope sd card Won't die on me again .I can deal with other problems but what could u do when sd card dies
on u .Thanks!

Hey no problem, by default the voodoo lag fix is disabled but honestly you won't need it.....

Nice, one of the great posts ever on xda. Is there any advantage to running darky's ROM? My SGS on JL2 has been good, and battery life seems awesome now that I turned off automated email checking.

Pretty much preference I guess. I love Darky's ROM but JL2 was good, Darky's seems faster it's built upon 2.2.1 and I read Samsung did some kernel upgrades so that's why it's faster. If you do try it out just make sure you can get into recovery and download mode first.

i can confirm that Darkys rom works, I'm running 7.6 atm. I did notice that the APN settings in my original settings were missing ports numbers for data.

I tried this and it did not work, I still don't have data connection and I am on Bell canada.

Are u still getting text's? If so then you are registered on the network, all you have to do is go into your access point names and create an entry, then highlight it after it's saved. See my post above

[Q] 850Mhz modem.bin and CwM

I've been reading about enabling the 850Mhz frequency on my P1000. To go about that I will have to reflash my modem with a new modem.bin. So far I'm using the Overcome ROM and noticed that in their downloads sections they have modem update zips for CwM. So I was wondering if I could just grab one of those zips and then replace the modem.bin inside it with the one I've already downloaded and then repack it and use that with CwM?
And also:
In the past I've tried installing the CwM from ROM Manager while using the Overcome ROM, only to have it brick my tab requiring a restock using odin and reinstalling Overcome. Is the custom CwM recovery that comes with Overcome the only one that will work with the P1000 or am I missing something?

Sorry, but no, you can't flash your tab to be an 850mHz tab if it is natively a 900mHz tab... Its NOT the firmware, its the hardware itself that allows you to use 850,900,1700,1900 or 2100 mHz range...
All you'll do is make your reception really bad....
You have been warned....

Guys, I have discovered it is a firmware issue as I found online the code to get me into the firmware menu to which I successfully changed my P1000 from 900Mhz to 850Mhz, and then 3G popped online without a hitch.
It's been running great for the past month until I installed Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe which added 1700Mhz to the firmware menu, and now it no longer recognizes the 850Mhz when selected.
It also appears to be a permanent firmware change because flashing a Gingerbread ROM originally installed doesn't remove the 1700Mhz option nor allow me to use 3G 850Mhz.
After searching online through many forums, it appears no one has a solution other than the one seen here.
As a final option, I'm going to attempt to format every system mounted folder so everything is wiped clean, and flash a complete Froyo ROM in hopes it will remove the 1700Mhz option and restore the ability to switch to 850Mhz.
If anyone is interested in the outcome, I'll post here my results. Conversely, if anyone has ideas, thoughts or knowledge on this issue, any and all is completely welcome.

WHEW!
I was successful at returning the firmware menu to its original code where 1700MHz was no longer in the options. I did this by following instructions on installing the Overcome 7 Series v4.1.0 Wipe, found here http://www.teamovercome.net/p1000/?page_id=17.
During step 4, I chose a modem.bin file for a country which uses 850MHz frequency for 3G like USA, Mexico & Australia, which in the supplied files was the JK3 modem.
Then between steps 9 & 10 I entered Recovery and formatted all system folders in the Storage Menu (/cache, /data, /dbdata, /system), then did a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache. Then I continued on from step 10.
When the Tab was on the Home screen, I followed these instructions to access the firmware menu http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s/258859-how-enable-850mhz-3g-network-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html and confirmed that 1700MHz was no longer an option. I continued onward to select 850MHz, rebooted and 3G came online.
Let me tell y'all that I've been working on this issue for 12 full hours, and it sure feels rewarding to have succeeded at this seemingly easy but became quite tedious excursion. Time for some deep sleeping.

So to be clear, you have voice calls enabled since you're running the Overcome ROM and 3g data works on AT&T as well at the same time without having to use any sort of modem switch? Still working well after this time? If this is true, that's really cool. Everyone has been saying it's a hardware issue all along. I guess you just need to do the configure like you pointed out and voila! Sweet!

I don't think he said that.
He said he can get a p1000 to work with AT&T 3G data network at 850Mhz.
Never mentioned phone calls or SMS, etc

Yes, a T-mobile GT... on AT&T 3g. I'm bringing this up because the Overcome ROM has the phone enabled. Just want to see if this function works along with 3g and the JK3 modem he's using. I think all of the various functions can be changed in the settings menu accessed in the dialer. I'll monitor the thread for cmcole's response. Even if it's just the data that works with that modem, that's still cool. I think Rotohammers modem switcher could allow you to use 2 modems and have the ability for both if the JK3 modem doesn't allow voice/3g data but I think it should.

[Q] A question of modems & hardware

I have a question I'm hoping an expert can answer. I pretty new to the Android world so I'm trying to wrap my head around a few things..
So I bought a (prepaid/locked) S5830T from a store over here, and proceeded to unlock and upgrade to the latest
stock Gingerbread firmware (2.3.6). So now when I boot up, instead of S5830T, I get S5830. All good.
Now the phone runs fine, but I have an issue with 3G data in particular.
The "T" suffix appears to relate to the 'Telstra network' (which the phone was originally locked to).
According to this link - http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/mobile_phone_frequencies
Telstra operates on 900Hz / 1800hz for 2G and 850hz / 2100hz for 3G.
The carrier I am on (Optus) operates on 900Hz / 1800hz for 2G and 900hz / 2100hz for 3G.
So I've flash the modem file from the Optus firmware package (Modem_S5830_XWKT3) hoping that that would enable
the 3G band that is currently not working.
(What happens ins 2G/"H" works fine, but when the phone switches to "3G" I lose all data connections)
But Alas, I still have the same problem..
So I'm wondering is there hardware in the phone that is preventing connection to the network, or do I need to find a more
appropriate Modem file that operates on the frequencies above?
Many Thanks!

Can you find the original Telstra firmware, extract the modem from that and flash it?
Can you get hold of a Telstra SIM and see if you still have the same issues?
The T doesn't necessarily signify Telstra but just a slightly different version of the S5830
It's the same with SGS2 there is a GT-i9100 and GT-i9100T (I have the T version purchased in Thailand so nothing to do with Telstra)
Because I have used this phone in Australia also, I've noticed that T modems perform better on my SGS2 than non-T versions.
I've found Optus coverage (in Melbourne) to be pathetic so I always have to ensure I'm using a T modem when I'm there.

Hey, Thanks for the reply ApriliaM3.
Yeah I know the T doesn't necessarily mean Telstra, but was pretty sure it meant there was a different modem to stock (as with your SGS2).
Which is why I reverted back to stock. I thought that may have been more accommodating of all frequencies..
That's very interesting what you say regarding your T modem.
I believe I can extract the modem from my base backup, so will give that a try.
As for the Telstra sim, that might be a little harder, but I'll try the modem first and then try to get a sim.
Thanks for the info!

I get the impression that my requirement for a T modem when I'm in Melbourne has more to do with Optus and their pathetic coverage than it has to do with the modem. When I'm in Thailand, it doesn't seem to matter what modem I use... they all get good signals and I have no problem with data either. I'm also a member on Whirlpool but I rarely go there any more... still it's quite a handy and informative site for many things

[Q] Flashing a I9305T rom onto a I9305 S3

Hi guys,
I bought a I9305 from Kogan which is a Hong King version. I use a Telstra network and the phone looses connection to the network intermittently and signal reception does not seem to be up to scratch. I'm comparing this to my iPhone 4 which never did this.. This is my first android smartphone so I have no idea on how to do anything to be honest. I love the phone but the network connection instability is really annoying.
I have a two part question:
1. Is anyone else in the same situation and if you fixed it what did you do.
2. Could I flash the phone with the I9305T ROM or would you suggest only flashing the modem software??
Please help...

You can flash any I9305 ROM on to your phone. The T bit is just some added carrier bloatware. You will most likely et much better connectivity using a Telstra specific modem. So really your choices are to root and flash just the modem or to flash the official Telstra ROM. I don't like the official versions because they add so many useless apps that you don't need

For all others that come across the same situation.
Yes you can flash the Telstra software on the I9305. I did it to mine and so far everything forks fine. Signal strength is great as expected and I have not experiences the network drop-outs since the flash.
The phone now lists it as a GT-I9305T.

Are you paying for a 4g plan or just regular 3g like me?
I get drop of net but i fixed it easily by going to Settings -》More options -》Network settings -》Networke mode.
And changed it to Wcdma only or auto. Shoose what ever mode that dont have lte in it.

Hey bud, which Firmware/Modem did you use? I checked http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/ for the official download and telstra wasn't listed there, as I'm having the exact same problems as you with a HK handset on telstra. I'm so close to just flicking this handset because of it.

You have to select I9305T as your phone model and than the telstra version will be available. However I might have to add that after I posted yesterday that same afternoon the phone dropped of the network completely as it used to do before and the restart was required to get it up and running good again. I will give it a few more days to see if it does it again.
I was holding the phone in the way that 3 sides were completely covered by hands so I'm unsure if this is what caused the loss of connection. I think a thread about this would be good to see how many people with the same phone are having this issue.

Ok, so I flashed the telstra I9305T firmware, probably worse than before.
So when I bought my phone in HK it came sealed in a French (Orange Network) Box with a euro wall plug. I thought it was a bit strange but didn't bother me, tho the handset had HK firmware and CSC. So I thought why not and downloaded the france Orange 4.1.2 firmware from samfirmware and flashed it with Odin. And funnily enough so far its been brilliant on telstra and its jellybean 4.1.2 so its got multi-window etc, I get way better 4G coverage and speeds and no drop outs. So far so good! im stoked. It has minimal bloatware - like 2-3 apps, And it even fixed another bug I had previously had on the HK firmware where I used swiftkey keyboard then after every reboot it would default back to Samsung Chinese IME keyboard.

The phone now lists it as a GT-I9305T.

Hi there.
Sorry to bother you but I was just wondering where you downloaded your
Telstra rom? Cause I have tried a couple that's already out there
But no success and yours sounds like the perfect rom for telstra 4g phone.
Could you please help me out I would really appreciate it .
Thank you .

Ok I have a question which will probably blow your mind out of the water.... I have the I9305T model and have been playing around and flashed I9305 firmware on the device in order to flash JB 4.3 on my device. It has become a bit unstable. How could I revert back to the I9305T config? I have tried flashing that firmware but it is a no go. I keep getting the Unsupported Version error
I have tried emergency recovery in KIES and I have tried flashing with Odin.
Any way I can revert back to the old? I used to run 4.1.2 on the device

Help with installing suitable rom GT-19305T
I am trying to fix a GT-19305t by flashing.
From the beginning
The battery started to fail. Bought a new battery and after charging and starting up the phone refused to work. I managed to get it in recovery menu after looking online.
I have tried using odin to fix. I did get a pass green message when i tried but the phone still wont work . It starts but just says in download mode do not switch off etc.
Whats confusing me a bit is that this is a Vodafone phone not telstra so how come it has the T at the end. This makes me wonder if I used the incorrect rom.
Any help please I have tried about forty hours of research and trial so far.
exhausted
I have specific questions
1 What is a good rom to use (I have searched for tens of hours and keep going in circles.) Also when I have unzipped some there is no recognisable file for Odin to use?
2 Am I doing the process correctly. it seems straightforward.

Which ROM have you flashed? After you have flashed the ROM via odin you have to boot into recovery, do a factory reset and then restart the phone. Then it should boot up fine.
What zips are you talking about? Sounds more like you downloaded custom roms, which are zips but they are flashed via a custom recovery.
