http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009197 just copy and paste this into your address bar and he gives excellent advice on how to root and flashing new roms. The canadian galaxy is a little different but not that much (you will need to flash the UGKG3 modem so it works better in canada (but jvu modem works good too) you can get this from downloading perkas file stash app from play store. remember to back-up your device before you start with kies and do a back-up on your phone as well. Happy flashing.

Just checking that this is indeed for a galaxy s GT-I9000M and not for the Canadian Note I1717 because they are totally different to root

Well, I guess you should flash another modem file, which is working well for your region/carrier (use google . A modem file defines how the radio part of your phone works, it has an influence on signal strenght/network speed (and might have influence on battery life, too).
You can flash a modem file via Odin or if you have a custom kernel you can do it via the >install zip from sd card<. If you are new to this, you can find a guide here. You can find further info on flashing in the second post of that thread.
If you are familiar with Odin, you should follow the instructions written here.
Or download a CWM-flashable zip from here and use the install zpi from sdcard method.
On a sidenote, using Odin or a custom kernel voids your warranty...
If it's still a no-go with a new modem file, you should consider taking your phone to a service.
I hope I could help Plz hit thanks
Thanks very much for the reply. Ill hit thanks when im on my pc haha yeah erm ill look that up. I am familier with odin so ill look into it. Cheers mate!

Sprint galaxy tab ics help

I have been looking for two days now for how to get ics on my sprint tab. I see people have it and I have tried to flash it and failed.I read it may be because I have an older cwm. 4.09 or something like that. I want to get ics on here sooooo bad. I very experienced with flashing roms and rooting and all the goodies so I don't need anyone to hold my hand but some links on how to do it or what ill need to do it would be amazing. I can't figure out how to get newer cwm and ics. Help and links would be amazing thank you

you could try here
it works for me.
I looked at that one and tried to flash it but every time I try to flash it says installation aborted from what I gather its because I have a old version of cwm. What version r u on?

Just to verify the link above on pg 38 post 380 does give the right way to do it. I had never used heimdal I always use Odin and I couldn't get heimdal to work for a couple hours so I gave up and said screw it and ran the tar through Odin and it worked! My screen did goofy stuff but all I had to do was boot into the new recovery and wipe 3 times each data and cache and delvik then flash team hacksun then flashed patch then rebooted and then went back into recovery and flashed gapps.
I swear this tablet was made for ics it never ran this well. A whole new tab is a understatement. Thanks to all the devs and rickxx for guiding the way

[Q] Need tips regarding CM7 issue

Couple days ago I flashed cm7 on my phone, at first everything worked fine and it was awesome. I should mention that I'm new to the modding scene. Anyways I'm having problems with my mobile network. I can't make any calls because apparently my phone cannot find my mobile network.
I've done a little research and I think I might have to flash my radio which should be no problem. I've read forums and have tried to find the appropriate "modem.bin" for my phone but some of the threads date back to a year or longer. Does anybody have a link to the best modem for my phone/rom?
This is the rom I flashed cm-7.2.0-galaxysmtd.zip from the cyanogenmod download site (won't let me post links -.-)
My other options I suppose would be to flash another rom and hope it works.
EDIT
I found this post ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9579987&postcount=11945 ) and it turns out that JK3/JK4 modems work for Bell in Canada. Just wondering, do the modems have to be compatible with roms?
ya the modems have to be compatible.. actually samsung code based roms and google code based roms have different installation files for modems
for me the KB3 and KF1 modems from this link CM7 modems ported from Nexus S work best..
When i first moded my i9000 it had its modem changed akd i got horrible reception. Like i wouldnt get service at the back of the grocery store, where my mom would get full bars on her stock phone. So i flashed to kg3. It is the stock i9000 gb modem. If you can't find it, pm me, I have a flashable zip on my computer!
Sent from my GT-I9000M using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the replies!
I guess I'll try and flash KB3 or KF1 first and see if I get any good results, I'll update my post when I do. I suppose I should also read up on android devices to try and get a sense of how things work. Does anybody know any good educational sites for android? Thanks again for the help! it's appreciated.

Thanks for the tip, I know xda is an awesome site for information but I feel like the info is all over the place and sometimes a little challenging to find. I was looking for a more organized source of info.
I flashed the KF1 radio but I still don't connection to my carrier (msg: mobile network not available). I'll keep searching the forums to check if anyone has had the same issues. Any input would be appreciated, not quite sure what it could be at this point.

Stuck in Downloading Do not turn off target! Read other posts, not helping me

Hi,
I got a Galaxy S captivate today from the US (I am from India). It was SIM locked. Then I read though the ways sim unlock, most required rooting. So it started off from there, I wanted to root using Odin, but it was held up in the middle and I was into recovery mode. I read through the forums further and tried to flash it back to stock ROM (multiple times - failing at different stages of the Odin). Now I am able to get into the "Downloading Do Not turn off target".
Even now in the Download mode I am able to use Odin to flash back to Stock Rom, but I keep getting stuck in "Sbl.bin" phase.
I do not want to pursue further and hard brick (I do not know if I had already did). I would request some of the members here to please please help me out of my situation. Do not want my new phone to be bricked.
Fingers crossed, expecting a positive response from you guys - please help me out.
Thanks,
Sid
Hey Sid,
I would suggest downloading an Odin one-click if you are having trouble. http://www.mediafire.com/?5rcofbzusoor6mv
Just open odin without your phone connected to usb.
Plug your phone into USB.
Click the One-Click button.
Thanks for your reply. I had already tried many Odin one click ROMs - 2.3.3, 2.3.5 and even a stock Rom because of recommendations from various threads. All get stuck at one stage or the other. I haven't tried this one though. Given what I said, would you like me to try this one too?

Got stuck in boot.bin
Hi,
Got stuck in different stages of Odin. Finally I changed the USB cable to a cable from Motorola Bionic, it went like a charm..
Cannot thank you enough for providing the ROM and asking me to try again!! BIG BIG THANKS.
Now I have an AT&T handset with Rogers ROM in it, hope that shouldn't cause any problems in the future. I am even afraid of asking should I try flashing a AT&T ROM, I would be very hesitant.
Now coming to rooting the phone, I tried Superoneclick, it got stuck in the "shell rooting device....- step#5". I tried only once, I do not want to keep messing around this time. I tried an Indian SIM, asks for a Network unlock code - so guess it is not SIM unlocked as well.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Sid
PS: Title was drafted during my failed attempts , finally just before posting tried with my Bionic cable.

But I am stuck with SIM lock. Samsung_S unlock does not seem to work,.
Would the problem be because I flashed a Rogers ROM in a AT&T set?

That may be the problem. U could try and flash back to android 2.2 and then unlock and then flash whatever. Because once it is unlocked it will continue to be unlocked.
There is a Master Collection of Stock One Clicks available to choose from in the Dev forum. It is a stickied thread.

Any suggestions? Any problem less AT&T Odin one click ROM?
Not that I can not search for one in this forum, earlier I ended up in this mess by doing so. Any suggestions on any working clean Odin one click AT&T ROMs? Would favour 2.3 versions.

Have you ever tried heimdall one click. Works like charm. Will upload it for you tomorrow. Us it and flash back to stock gb. Then just follow the root steps given on the captivate wiki forum. Check for the link on cyanogen website for root . This again uses heimdall

Thanks for all your responses and help.
Heimdall one click never got past the driver installation prompt. Kept repeating every time. May be it is again due to the Rogers ROM flashed, not sure. For a while the phone was stuck in the Downloading mode, but managed to get out of it.
Anyways, I purchased an unlock code from ebay and managed to unlock the phone. Now it is unlocked and works on the Indian GSM carriers.
Once again thanks for all your help, suggestions and time.
Thank You!

Need URGENT help please

Hi guys.
It's 2 in the morning here in the U.K and I have to get up at 7:30, still racking my brain...
I wanted a standard ROM so I uninstalled root. I then did a factory reset, now my samsung keyboard just types as null null null...
I can only use ODIN now to flash, I have no CWM. I have no way of using Mobile ODIN either as I have no root.
What do I do? I have Baseband version N7000XXLRB. With Build Number IMM76D.XXLRG
I have gone on to the main rom page and just downloaded the first U.K one I saw. Is this okay? I'm running stock ICS and stock recovery.
Also when I open up standard recovery instead of the little green droid with the shape in his tummy, theres now a droid laying down with his tummy open with a little red warning triangle?
So the bottom line is, how can I fix it so that when I type it doesn't say null null null. I need my phone desperately and I need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance.

Just try flashing the ROM again dude... if the problem persist, got rooted then install RootExplorer go to system/app folder and delete AxT9IME.odex file then flash the ROM again by Odin..

Nothing To Worry. Do this
Just Open PCOdin. Put your phone in Download Mode. Connect it to PC using USB Cable.Select the same rom file which you have on your phone now under CSC tab instead of PDA tab and flash. It will solve your problem
Here you can find all roms

As a temporary fix I switched to Swype, then downloaded JB keyboard from the Play Store, but ideally would like to have this sorted.

Root current and backup efs on multiple locations, note down original csc. That way you can always go back to original situation, plus you have a fallback in case efs gets corrupted from flashing different kinds of csc roms
Most dont say this, but it is the most valuable advice if you dont want to loose imei, service, warrantee, ota/kies updatability (when back on original csc roms), value when selling phone, etc

Hi there,
My best bet on the stock ROM your gonna use would be this one - > N7000XXLRK---4.0.4/12.07.24-N7000XEULP5, look and download it from here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 (courtesy of Doc Ketan)
There's instructions on that thread as well on how to flash the ROM.
EDIT: On the setup stage (after you've flash it), you will be prompted on which Language your going to use, Look for English (United Kingdom) and follow the steps from there (clicking 'Next' from thereon)
Thank you very much I will try this when I'm at my dads in an hour or so. I'll also thank your post
