New JH2 official firmware upgrade Firmware in Canada i9000m Bell.

Kies tonight said there was an update for my phone current JG9 to a new firmware JH2..This might fix the 3 button combo for people that have issues. as the recovery screen is a bit different. give your a warning now that you have entered the system menu. This is a full flash so remember to backup everything.

Someone that can't get into recovery should try this update..

it sounds promising!
i wish i could give you the result but since my sgs can go into download mode....

if you use kies it should. even if the 3 combo does not work.

well I meant I can't tell you whether this new firmware can fix download mode issue since mine can go into that mode using 3 buttons
But I wonder if it is still possible to upgrade mine becuase I flashed it with European rom and it is now I9000! All Bell bs apps are gone and even the boot screen shows i9000 haha

Should be able to flash to UGJG8 and then do the update via Kies.
I'm installing it now over JG9. Will be interesting to see if the RyanZA lagfix lives through the process. This is just an update, not a re-flash.
Notice also that the firmware is JH2, same last three as the "leaked" Captivate firmware that showed up on samsung-firmwares.com. The Captivate people have been pretty happy with it.

And it's not just an update, it's a full flash.
Be sure you back your **** up before doing this.

will be trying this out shortly, it's complaining that my battery isn't charged enough at 75% though. Will report back although I already have recovery mode.

lol wow 75% and complains it is not enough?

I'm not getting any lag with this update... i'm really liking it.. and I checked the SPL is different. a newer version.. but it does have the recovery screen but its a new version with a little warning when you go into it.

Thats odd it let me flash and my battery was at 40% and I didn't get a warning.

you know what will be the next question eh?......
"does that fix the GPS problem?"
i sincerly don't care, but the bunch of people that has been complaining about it, will biatch about that for sure.
personally both GPS, actually now 3 SGS i've tested it on, have been working great.

Here's a weird one for ya.
My IMEI SV changed from 03 to 04

So has anyone (without the download mode) tried the flash yet?
Does the FW somehow enable it again?
To be honest, the ideal solution would be a software hack that can somehow enable the 850 band and disable the 900 band so we can all stop dealing with this bell ****

hehe. i lucked out and got 2 phones on the first day. the 3 button sequence works on them both and the gps is reasonably accurate (compared to my garmin gpsmap60). i'm just hoping this update doesn't screw with anything that's working for me

sorry for goin off-topic but i have a queastion!
My europeanized(!) Bell sgs won't come back to i9000m even I flashed it with JG8 from Samsung-firmwars.com. Given the JG8 file only contained PDA file (no CSC, no MODEM), I flashed CSC and MODEM with those from JM2 and JM5, and my sgs still recognizes itself as GT-I9000, not I9000M... Is there any way to fix this? I can't find Canadian CSC version anywhere on the web.

Well, I think the problem was related to my Windows 7 desktop and instead am trying it on a Windows XP laptop, but referring to the i9000m not coming back to the proper form, is it due to the fact that we shipped with stock JG9 and are now updating to JH2 never having touched JG8?

Flash back to JG8, but use PDA only. It's an all-in-one, if you look inside the archive there are modem and CSC files in it. You did a flash within a flash.

OMG that explains why it took SOOOO long to reboot the phone..double flashing LOL
Thank you very much Croak

I did the update from UGJG9 and everything went fine. Seems faster and smoother. However, protected apps are no longer showing in the market.
Can someone else verify if Tapatalk Pro is showing for them or not? It has disappeared for me.

[Q] So I think I just bricked my phone :(

Was trying to install clockworkmod and instead of using "PDA" in Odin3, I used "Phone" to flash stuff...
My phone boots to android now but will not get a signal period.
Any ideas?

You killed modem.bin. We have not been able to recover from this yet. Exchange the phone.

Man. Oh man. Definitely take it n
It's a goner. Im
they call me...kick ass

hahahaha i gotta laugh
because i did the exact same thing --

Would the modem.bin be in the system dump? If so, could that be flashed to fix the problem?
The reason I ask is because I've done the samething, but I've seen on the Vibrant forums that it can be done.

If you flash over modem.bin on a Fascinate, as of today (and probably until Verizon/Samsung posts an official firmware) you're screwed.
There is no magic solution. I'm not even going to bother explaining how much time has gone into trying to fix this problem. If we could fix it, we would've done it already.
1 - DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING IN ODIN'S "PHONE" BOX.
2 - DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING NAMED MODEM.BIN

Modem.BIN

OOPS! I messed up in odin when flashing my first rom, with my new $200 phone my dad bought me two days ago. As you can imagine I am extremely sad, and I need some help. Anyways, I think I did something in Odin that messed up my modem.bin, which explains why i have a circle with a line throught it on my notification bar where the signal status would usually be. So, I thought, the DJ05 update has modem.tar, and I flashed that with Odin, but I still have that same circle with a line through it. Plz Help

Flash in PDA. Not phone.
Good luck.

yes, if you are lucky PDA will work... Try it and if it doesn't work, there are other things you can do.
But if you're not going to read and respond to this thread. I'm just wasting my time typing this out for you.

Been doing
Thats what I've been doing, I flashed it in PDA before flashing the rest of DJ05. I have read, and Im not just posting this without looking.

Edit:
Do I need a PIT file to flash the modem, because I haven't been using one.

No, you don't need a PIT file with the modem. What did you flash initially that started this problem? There may not be anything you can do.

Sign up for the extra insurance. Step on your phone, pay the $80 deductible and get a new phone. Cancel insurance.

Well, I rooted it, installed clockwork mod, and then the SuperClean Rom. Then I decided to go back to my Nandroid backup, but that was unsuccesful so I went to do something in Odin (I think I was trying to restore to DJ05 again). Please tell me all of my options. Im already extremely upset, and the phone was bought off Ebay N.I.B so there is no option of that insurance.

Do you know exactly what it was that you flashed via Odin and how you did it? Was it something in this forum, another forum? Was it something for the Telus Fascinate? Did you use the phone button or pda button when flashing?

To be honest, I really cant remember what I was flashing, I as probabley trying to re-install DI01. It wasn't anything from Telus or the Vibrant, it was specifically for Verizon. And I always did it in PDA. Except today I flashed the DJ05 modem.tar using phone. Hope thats not bad.

That would be the problem, and there isn't a fix as far as I'm aware.

Ok, well even without that, my point is I did this about an hour ago. And even before every flashing in phone I had this problem. I am so upset.

Please post in the relevant forum next time.
Thank you.

My apologies. Any Updates?

If you flashed via the Phone button at any point, your phone is no longer usable or fixable unless someone has found a fix that I haven't seen yet. Whether the problem started before you used the phone button or not, using the phone button pretty much guaranteed there is no way to fix it.

Im a NOOB so I might not be right, but here is my argument. There have been people with the same prob. that pressed the phone button before. Theyre solution has been to flash a new modem.bin. I just want to know WHY after having the same problem as other people, and taking the same solution my phone still doesnt work. I don't know, maybe im just not willing to take a broken phone as an answer.... but...

As far as I know, no one has recovered their phone after flashing the modem via the Phone button. Any links to support that?

Right now Im going to Odin restore DI01 stock to my Fascinate and then try and OTA update via Wi-Fi if that is possible.

You can't update OTA via wifi... That contradicts itself. And if you are flashing to stock DI01, what are you hoping to update to? DL09 isn't available yet.

Have you tried flashing the all in one di01 by adrynalyne? That may be you only option.
Also, samsung gives a warranty, you might be able to take it to vzw in worst case scenario.

Welk as I read on x.d.a today dl09 was officially released for download by ota. Im 90% sure

[Q] my phone doesn't detect 3G network in DI01

I used DJ05 but I just got back to DI01 because of 3G network availability. but once I got back in DI01 my fascinate doesn't detect 3G. the web only works on wifi. when I turn off the wifi button it does nothing. even 1g or 2g siganal didn't come up just signal bar shows on. I have no idea to fix it. does anybody can tell me what I need to do now?? without wifi zone it work like feature phone to me..

How exactly did you revert back? I'm assuming you used ODIN? If so, did you choose the Phone button or the PDA button to flash the image? If you used the Phone button, then your modem is dead, and cannot be recovered, so you will have to find some way to replace your phone.

Dial *228 and press 1 to activate/reprogram your phone. I had the same thing happen to me. It's just not activated anymore.

I just did it, and now I can see the triangle icon(roaming) same spot as 3G icon.
but still 3G icon doesn't come up, not available using internet without wifi.
how should I do... If I upgrade to froyo It will be fixed automatically?? haha

yes you right. I used odin and put two images, one "DI01modem.tar" via phone section and the other one "DI01package3.tar.tar" thru pda section. so should I find some way to fix?? what else I can try???

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, there is no known way to recover from modem failure caused by flashing with the Phone button in ODIN. I'm sorry, but it looks you will either have to buy a new phone, or find a way to convince Verizon to give you a warranty replacement.

+1 to that. Hope you have insurance, that is your only hope now. As an FYI, the DI01 package already contained the modem. It is called an AIO package for a reason.

There is no way to recover your phone if you used the Phone option instead of the PDA option in Odin.

but sir, everything works but 3G doesn't. even wifi works. do we call this situation "bricked" ? hmm I put only DI01 modem.tar in the phone button and after pass sign I put the DI01 package.tar in the pda section. only thing doesn't work is 3G network. should I buy another one? I bought this phone from ebay and my carrier is pagepluscellular. so I don't have insurance and no supported carrier.. so sad....

Do phone calls work? Does anything via the 1X network work? You could try reflashing the DI01modem.tar via PDA, but that would be the only possible fix besides a new phone.

oh... If I failed to reflash via pda, nothing happen after then? I don't have to worry about fail via pda right??

Correct. You can't really hurt anything by flashing via turn PDA button.
Posted from my DL09 SuperClean Fascinate with Voodoo

Gunnermike, from here and Android central flashed in Odin using the phone button by mistake. He re-flashed the modem using PDA and reported that everything worked as it should afterwords.
At this point, you don't have anything to loose.

I made the same mistake (select phone instead of PDA) when I tried to install voodoo lagfix. After reading this thread I downloaded the modem.tar file for my version of Froyo and the PIT file. I entered the download mode and through odin I updated the phone modem using the modem.tar file and pit file. It worked like a charm. Now everything is OK. Be sure to remove the SIM card before update.
Thanks a lot for the ideea.
P.S. I used PHONE not PDA when I fixed my modem. And do not forget the PIT file.

Can only connect to LTE; can't make or get calls/text

I'm running Triforce 4.0 on MJA. My phone acts like it's looking for a signal but can only find LTE. The data on LTE works fine. Wifi also works. In my settings, it says my phone number is unknown (I have gotten it to also just say 0 while trying to get it to work) and my MIN is also unknown. It says my PRL version is 1, even after updating it. Everything worked fine until I tried flashing a new rom which wouldn't even boot. I restored my nandroid backup and that's where this whole mess started. Tried flashing the MK2 modem in odin, and even though it flashed successfully, it changed nothing and my settings also still say I'm on MJA.
I even went to the Sprint store, and a helpful fellow tried to flash it back to complete out of the box stock using Kies but it threw up an error and soft bricked me. Fudged up the flash counter somehow, too. He said he couldn't get me a replacement because he obviously knows I voided the warranty, but told me to go to another store and just tell them it was a 4.3 update gone awry and they'd get me a replacement because it was in a state where you really couldn't tell it was rooted. It worked, and they ordered a new one but said it'll take two days. In the meantime, I decided that I could get to the bottom of this because I still have data on my internal storage I want. I unbricked it, got my nandroid backup running and now I'm pretty much right back where I was earlier today. And I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know what it means when the phone forgets its own number? What can cause this? How can it be remedied? How can it be avoided?

Since you already tripped the counter and the Sprint guy you took it to was a boob..
You could grab the MK2 .tar from here (the tar.md5 is in the zip, just extract the .tar.md5 and put that one file in the PDA slot of Odin) and flash it via Odin. It'll reset everything (all partitions and modem etc.) Then re-root via CF-Autoroot, add recovery using GooManager and then do what ever you want.

I was going to try downloading that, but I've already downloaded two other firmwares and I have an extremely small amount of data I can use per month (10GB) because I'm using Verizon's LTE. Nothing else is available where I live. My bill is already going to be $200, so I made one last ditch effort to get things to work without wasting ANOTHER gigabyte because not only did I not want to wait 7 hours for that download, I didn't want to download it at all because the previous firmwares I downloaded wouldn't even flash. They fail in Odin. Er, one of them does, anyway. The other one I downloaded was just not the right firmware.
So I tried just random things and typed ##72786# into the dialer. Phone rebooted, and everything works now, somehow. I'm still not sure what causes this, but as long as I can reliably fix it any time it happens then it's not a big problem. Now I just have to tell the guys at the other Sprint store that I don't need the replacement. Thanks for the help, by the way!

I would like to add that simply going to the option in settings to activate the device never worked, nor did updating PRL, profile, etc. Any time I tried to just reactivate the device using the option to do so, it would say there was an error.

sorry if this is a dumb question, but...
if you go into your mobile network settings, is your cdma subscription set to nv? if not, try switching that.
edit: sorry if i came a little late but i think that's the problem.
