i have just bought last week a SGS GT-I9000T, i have searched the whole of the galaxy range of forums on here and only found two with links to I9000T, the rest of the details for this phone is : Model Name: GT-I9000T
Current Version: PDA-JJ1/phone:JI1/CSC:JI1
and the info from About phone Firmware Version 2.1-update!
Basebandversion I4000tdoJ1!
Kernal Version 2.6.9 [email protected] #2
Build Number Eclair.Dojj!
does the above mean that my phone is rooted ?? i know it shows root in the kernal, but i do no have superuser and im still locked in with NZtelecom, any info or help would be really appreciated many thanks and regards to all..
No, root in the kernel version doesnt mean its rooted.
What is it exactly that you want root for?
A bit more info and we can point you in the right direction
For rooting try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728754
Just make sure your 3 button recovery mode works. If you do than its a matter of trial and error for trying custom roms etc because arent you on 850htz band?
Surely he can update to Froyo on Kies
Froyo not in nz or aus yet so its either kies hack or european froyo.
awsome guys many thanks and the very best of regards...

Hi All and many thanks for your input with this, as stated froyo is not available in NZ yet, but my problem is that the phone is tied to Telecom XT and we have four main carriers is NZ them being Telecom XT, Vodafone, 2Degress and Telstra. the first I9000T that i got was tied to Vodafone and i took it back to the shop as i wanted a phone that would work with 2Degrees, and preferably on all frequencies so i had the option to change sims if i wished, so the second phone that i was given was tied to Telecom XT, then i am told that the phone will not work with 2 degrees and they were not willing to order a phone in for me, so we reached a compromise on the phone, they took $200 off of the cost and threw in a 8GB sd card. ok so back to my question i need to root the phone so that it will work with 2Degrees and get rid of the bloatware at the same time. and to update to froyo would be a bonus for me.
the three button recovery does work and i have just now managed to root the phone, after reading lots of pages of info on the subject, what i was doing wrong is not using the volume key and starting the update with the power button, a pretty simple mistake but it was really frustrating and i don't really remember reading about it in all of the info that i found on how to do this.
so thanks to all i am now rooted and just have to update to froyo, so more reading to get there.
just one thing that i have noticed between the two phones i was given and i might be wrong here, but after taking the back off of the phone and where the sim card goes there looks like another sim slot between the usable sim slot and the edge of the phone, but the first phone and i am pretty sure on this did not have in the back as it was covered by black plastic without any holes in it, i will try and post a pic of the back that is in this phone, so we can compare and see if there is anything in this.
so once again many thanks for all of the help, and with the very best of regards to all
dave
Froyo ?
while i now have super user status kies tells me that my device is unable to be updated ? any one have an idea or any info on this, once again many thanks to all and the very best of regards
welcome to the joys of kies... i think most people here use odin to flash there roms maybe thats a option you could use quick easy and plenty of custom roms on this site to try.
I have samsung galaxy s(gt-i9000/it is not vibrant or...) which use this rom:
baseband version:i9000bojf1
build number:eclair.bojg3
I live in kuwait,but when i buy this phone it has one bag for used phone(T...MOBILE/UK),and in all user manual's i see t..mobile&samsung brand.

I used adb to get into download, then I selected repartition whilst flashing. ( not sure it's worth noting there's a sbl.bin file in the phone package that gets written to the device)
once i had JM5 up and running i checked whether the 3 button combo was working - it wasn't.
i then followed post 1 to the letter.( no .pit, select bootloader etc) - it takes just a second to run.
Now I just have to decide which ROM i want to try next -JPH awaits !
Well Jimsey, guess what.......... JOB DONE!!!!!
Did exactly what you said - except i added 1 step, (don't know if essential but i've heard reports that it saves some people needing to do a wipe/reset in recovery mode) :- i did a factory reset just prior to flashing of JM5. Other than that tho, i followed everything you did above TO THE LETTER!
Mind you, it wasn't good for my health i swear. It rebooted after flashing JM5, and a load of yellow writing came up saying all the little files it was initialising etc etc blah blah, and then... in RED writing it came up with - CANNOT ACCESS MULTI LOADER FROM TMU, or something like that.
Well, i felt the blood drain from my face. Then it booted up, damn that was scary!
You're right about the combo fix as well, when i flashed that it is as you say a dodgy two seconds, then a few more seconds on a black screen, i swear my heart didn't beat during that time!
Anyway there you go guys, i've just (narrowly avoiding a coronary) flashed my stock T-Mobile UK from BOJG3 to an unbranded, smooth as silk XWJM5, and on top of that flashed the standalone bootloader from post #1. And it works. I have the handset in front of me and it's all lit up on the home screen!
A big thankyou to Jimsey, for being the first pair of feet to jump!
Also to Richthofen for his bootloader fix, and his superb support in all this.
Well, don't know where next, JPC/JPH i suppose, but not yet, i need a drink to recover from this bit first!!

this csc and risk of this do is my problem my friend!?
I have bought a GT-I8190 (Unbranded/Unlocked) in Spain, which operates in 3G frequency band 900/1900/2100. The problem is that I live in Argentina, and here the 3G frequency is 850Hz. I would like to know if there is any hardware limitiation for the 3G frequency band or is just a firmware limitation. I've read that flashing a latinamerican modem (I8190L version) may solve the problem. Has anyone try this? What can I do?
Please let me know, cause i'm tired of dealing with EDGE.
Sorry for my english, i speak spanish.
Thank you!
I dont know about hardware differences, if there is any.
You could try to extract modem.bin from i8190L firmware and put it a .tar and flash with odin, but i'm not sure thats enough.
There's also a service menu if you type * # * # 1 9 7 3 2 8 6 4 0 # * # *
This is for SGS, but I think menus are quite similar.

I've seen this tutorial before, i've already try it, with no success. In the WCDMA Band submenu, the 850 option is missing,

Is there any risk of bricking the phone by doing this? I want to be sure of what I'm doing. If something does wrong, is there any way to go back to stock modem?
Thank you!

I didn't find it either but I was thinking it might be there if you flash a modem for that frequency.

I don't think there is a chance of bricking it by changing modem. I've done it on my P7500 tab and my galaxy wonder without crying.
Question is if Odin will let it pass, and if so, maybe you'll also need to flash cache.img to get the "sec_csc.zip" for csc code and apn settings to be correct set in system. Not sure..
Edit: Seems like odin fails on modem.

I8190 Problem
Hey people,
Got the same problem here, did not see the difference between the I8190 and the I8190L and now I´m dealing with the problem of being connected only in EDGE, dou you guys already solved the problem???
If´s that so, please let us know.
Same problem here
I have excactly the same problem. Got a GT-I8190N, and here they use 850mhz :crying:
have searched every corner of the web, but havent found a solution. If anyone manages to make these things use 850mhz band PLEASE tell us how you did it.
Tried but failed
Fon anyone interested, i flashed GT-I8190N my phone using a GT-I8190L firmware for my country / operator, and i was still unable to use 3G internet. only Edge.
The phone worked fine in all other aspects (except the NFC feature was gone of course), but still no 3G. i guess the bands are not only determined by software, but also by hardware.
By now i guess its safe (for me) to say, i will have to learn to live with Edge, or get another phone. :crying:

Did you manage to change the modem.bin (baseband)? All I've tried and seen about it results in softbrick.
it dint brick it (THANK GOD)

Yes, actually that was the first thing i tried.
I downloaded the Whole firmware for the GT-I8190L for my local operator (MX Telcel), then i extracted the modem .bin file from it, and in odin i flashed it to the phone.
Phone worked fine, but still only edge.
So i decided to flash the whole firmware just in case, did so with odin, when my phone restarted i had the cheesy, bloated, horrible load animation my POS operator forces on all its phone, but still i was only able to use edge. no 3g.
Went to the phone service menu (if thats what its called?) dialing *#0011# then using the BACK menu option ->network -> etc. and still the 850mhz band option was missing. only got 900mhz (same as before).
At this point i was now stucked with the extra-extra-extra crappy logos and tons of crapware my provider installs on the phones, still without 3g, and all the NFC setting options dissapeared on the settings menu, but otherwise the phone was not bricked at all, it worked fine
So i downloaded this unbranded firmware:
Edit: (xda wont let me put the link, but its an unbranded firmware called I8190NXXAMD3_I8190NOXAAMD3_DBT)
wich is for the GT-I8190N version (not L), flashed it with odin, and now my phone is back to the way it was, i have my NFC settings back, got rid of ALL operator logos and bloatwares (now i only see the nice samsung animation on boot), and everything is working fine.
Except for 3G of course, im still stuck on EDGE.
Thanks alot for your answer. Now we know for sure it's based on hardware.

Sorry for bringing up this old thread..
Does anyone know if there is a way of replacing the phone's internal antenna/modem to adequate it to the 850mhz network? It'd be cheaper than buying a new phone..
Hallo members,
I need help.
The cell phone of my daughter does not connect to the cell phone provider.
The history:
My daughter bought 6 mounts ago an Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. She made many pictures and videos , so that both memories of the phone was full. Than she made an official update vrom version 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. After some days she got problems to make a call. She cant make a call by her self, and also she cant got a call. If she tried to call, the got a notification, that the cell phone does't registred by provider. The phone was not rooted and has a stock room on those time.
My activities to solve this problem:
I read many threads about brocken IMEI, or problems with base band, but on this phone ist the IMEI ok, also baseband.
At first I made a factory reset.
Second I rooted this phone and flashed an custom room from maclaw. But this does't solwed my problem too.
If I start this phone, I got always an notification message in the top of display, that the cell phone provider does't selected. If I try to search one provider, I see in the phone all available provider on my geo position, included my cell phone provider. This search lasts very long, about 5 minuts. After the search is finished, I try to connect to my cell phone provider, but without occur. I get a message that the connection is not possible on this moment, and I have to connect later.
At last I try to change radio from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548453&page=2, but also without success.
Cell phone data:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S3 mini
Model-Number: GT-I8190

Baseband-Version: I8190XXAMA1
Kernel-Version: 3.0.101-mclawstudio+
CyanogenMod-Version: 11-20140109-UOFFICIAL-golden
Ich hope somebody can help me to solve this problem.

go to settings - more setting - mobile networks - netmodus - choose auto modus
the go to settings - more settings - mobile networks - third point (the one under data roaming) and choose your provider.
update your baseband to the latest one XXAMJ3 (flashing with CWM or TWRP)

HI, and sorry for my late answer.
I tried to configure like your description, but it dos'n help. Thank you anyway.
What I tried to make also. I installed a rooted stock rom, and update after that to a new radio XXAMJ3, but it does'n help to solve my problem to. I can't make a call, or send a SMS anyway.
Have somebody an idea to solve this problem?
The SIM card oft this cell phone works very fine. I tested it with another phone.
Exactly I am with the same problem. There is no issue about sim card or service providers. It is all about the phone. Please tell me the solution.

You don't have warranty?
---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------
You may try others baseband versions, If none of them fix the problem it's probably hardware related.
A simple way to do that is flashing different versions of stock firmware, just make sure it's for the right variant GT-I8910 N L T
Is there a fix?
Long story short...
My son's i8190n has been rooted for over 2 years. He has a new phone and I proceeded to update to a new rom. After that I think I messed up the modem/baseband somehow. The recovery is TWRP from maclaw.pl. At some point I even managed to soft brick this phone. I was able to use Odin 3.10 to install a stock rom unrooted.
I can:
* Install any rom and/or baseband
* Leave it unrooted or rooted
* Everything seems to work fine except...
I can't:
* Register the phone to my network
Tried different SIM(s) from different providers, but still no go.
Any suggestions?
I Have had this i9305 now without mobile signal, with a vodaphone it did used to show signal but in all cases it always says 'no mobile networks' or 'not registered on network' i have tried with every sim i can think of... it was suggested to flash a stock rom which i did..this made no difference, i then tried installing CM11 and followed the guide to the letter.
I know this phone is not blacklisted as i checked with the imei, i have tried flashing different modems but to be honest im not sure what i am flashing to it..i have tried three different ones now starting with XX as i am in uk...i really dont know if i have missed something or doing something drastically wrong..i have read and read and usualy i would have had this resolved by now...can anyone please help me as i want to give this handset to my girlfriend for a present very soon so we can keep in touch..i am at my wits end with it:crying:
Thanks
Try an emergency restore through Samsung Kies - this should eliminate any software related problem. Sounds to be a hardware problem though so get Triangleaway going and send it for repair if that doesn't work.
Flash 4.1.2, then enable and disable the LTE-only mode hack in the hidden service menu (the *#2263# one, not *#*#4636#*#*). (If you have root, you can also access that menu in 4.3 or even the 4.4.2 port, but it's a bit more involved.)

it won't let me do that as it doesn't list the phone as needing an emergency recovery. I flashed a stock rom and the signal is showing but it keeps saying not registered on network.. if I do a search it finds providers but when I opt for the provider of the sim it just perpetually spins at registering on network.

Have just followed a guide to root this unit, upon installing root checker it says this device does not have proper root, Odin reports that everything went ok and i get the red pirate android..when the phone boots a pop up comes up saying unfortunatley SU has stopped working... not sure whether KNOX is stopping this ?
no network.
Hellow to you all.
I have got a problem in my s3 LTE.
After installed several rooms my lte not register in WCDMA network.
The mobile phone was from a french network. Bouygues and was unlocked in portugal.

The WCDMA was not working but i allready fix it. Now when i turn to wcdma only it says not register in networck.

please start your own thread as it is not relevant to mine.
Someone's suggested this phone is barred.. I have run a check which says it's not blocked but it's been suggested that this is unreliable...I have bars showing but just never registered on network.
Does your IMEI reported in *#06# match the one printed under the battery?

hey loady,
did you manage to solve theproblem? i have the same problem since roughly 3 weeks. but honestly, i didnt put much effort in fixing it.
i found a big thread a while ago where the problem is solved... i'll look for it
