J16 modem

Looking for the j16 modem to put on JFD. Searched forums but no dice. Wanna keep JFD incase of OTA update.
THANKS!

What's the difference between the JI5 and JI6 modem? I haven't been able to find it so far. I'm getting horrible battery life from JI5 and want to upgrade to JI6 stock if possible or go back to stock w/out losing everything.

No such thing. I've attached the J I 6 modem for you though...
I just extracted it from the JI6 update and zipped it up by itself.

How do we install this?

I tried installing through clockwork recovery. It always hangs at the installing portion and I have to pull the battery after waiting 20 minutes.

Flash via ODIN. If you're not comfortable / able to do that then perhaps someone will make a flashable clockwork package for you instead.

Will this wipe my Rom and data? I'm kinda tired of constantly restoring all my apps, notifications, and getting my vibe back to my set up.

Then don't flash things. Or make a proper backup.
Clockwork offers the ability to restore only the /data portion of a backup that you've made & Titanium Backup allows you to backup/restore all your app/data. Two valid options that will only add 5 minutes to your install time.
I don't see why you should be complaining if you're not making a backup and restoring it.

I wasn't complaining, just asking. I was using bionix 1.2, 1.3 then jumped up to 1.4 quickly. I am making back ups, i'm asking that if i install ji6,will i have reflash my rom and re install my apps, or can I just flash my back up thru clock and still have ji6.
Ps does this work and what are the benefits.

Thanks for this! I would love it if someone could package a JI6 Clockwork flash. I am not comfortable with Odin. Mainly from the horror stories of not just noobs but some with some experience flashing complete roms.
The first thing I did when rooted and got OCLF, GPS fix and clockwork was to do full Titanium backups and a Nandriod and an original stock Rom. I have backups and have had to use 'em.
But for some reason I don't want to take the Odin plunge yet. I do not have a firmware lock out Vibrant.
Care to talk me into it? With Samsung and Tmobile's slow responses, I might be getting all my updates here soon. Hell to date, I have!

It's not a ROM. It's not a kernel. It's a baseband update. It doesn't wipe any data, just upgrades your baseband version. Your current baseband version can be found in Settings -> About Phone -> Baseband version.

+1 for a clockwork mod installable zip file! I really don't like Odin.

Agreed. Do you by chance have a .zip for the JFD modem you could upload?

Odin flash worked perfectly thanks for this.

I Odined with j16 modem on Jfd I see not much difference... Maybe someone has the changelog...

I too tried Odin and it said failed. I am on Bionix 1.4 with Voodoo. Should I disable Voodoo first? I didn't do it since it was flashing the modem and not the rom. Thanks.

From what I understand you ALWAYS want to disable Voodoo when flashing anything. It's also so easy to do it's worth it just in case.
I'm still wondering if you put the zip in the "phone" section or the "PDA" section? Do you also need the 512 pit file? Anyone?

Thanks alot. Your awesome

No. just modem.bin file in the phone section

Which ROM was on you phone before you flashed? Did you flash the ROM only, or did you flash the Modem also? Did you wipe data, cache, and dalvik before you flashed the ROM?

Well I'm completely new to the rooting thing and I di the one click root then the leaked froyo and everything works great except gps and I didn't clear anything.

Did you use Odin to flash the DK17 Modem before flashing the ROM. If not, you need to start over.
While you were in ClockworkMod Recovery, you should have wiped your data, your cache, and cleared the dalvik cache before flashing the ROM.

Froyo beta deodexed v4.2
Sent from my most awesome EPIC!

There's a funny trick with that 4.2 DJ29 leak. For some people, if we don't follow a certain procedure when flashing it, we lose GPS altogether.
If you want to use that rom follow these instructions:
Boot into clockworkmod and wipe everything to go back to stock.
Flash DI18 update from this thread using clockworkmod
Now boot the phone and get a gps lock. You may have to reboot again to get it going.
Reboot into clockwork and flash the dj29 2.2 rom you have without wiping
Boot into DJ29 and confirm gps works
Then you can go back and wipe the cache if you want, but I personally didn't run into issues not doing that.
If you go to the newer DK05 or DK17 builds, then you have to use odin to flash the modem which gets you better gps. After flashing the modem with odin, you reboot into recovery, wipe, and flash rom. This is actually easier than all the hoops you have to jump through for the dj29 builds, but some people have a hard time with odin.

Where do I get odin and what is odin? Is it kinda like clockwork?

Odin is a program used for flashing firmware to Samsung smartphones.
You should probably read the Wiki at the top of the dev section. It has all the terms and instructions you should be familiar with before messing with any of this stuff.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S/SPH-D700

O lol dang. I read that but guess I skipped the odin part. Thank you very much and sorry about the extreme noobyness. Not useually this noob with electronics.

No problem.

ok so the directions for the odin stock are:
Odin Stock Flashing
Odin : http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip
1. Open odin
2. Put your phone in download mode (Shut it off, wait for lights to all go out, then hold 1 on the keyboard while powering up)
3. connect phone (you should see odin put a Com4 or something like that in the first box. The actual number is NOT important what is important is something popped up there when you connected your device, meaning ODIN can see it)
4. Select the victory_8G_100528.pit on the right in the pit section
5. In the PDA Section you place either the full Stock tar (SPH-D700-xxx-8Gb-REL.tar around 255mb) for a full wipe and full return to stock
6. Hit start. It will do its thing. Doesn't take long you can see the progress bar. If it sits on File Analysis for longer than 30 seconds its not going to happen. See the troubleshoot section below.
Device should reboot and should be done.
You will have to re root / install busy box.
now were do i get the item highlited in green?

Do the steps on the link in my signature. It's what I did and my GPS works great. Good luck.

I just wanna back this up, I had no luck with getting GPS on DJ29, DK05 or DK17... went through the steps and 2 days later still gets GPS lock

GPS in DK17 works perfectly for me. I think the cache bug is gone now.
EDIT: Just opened GPS Status and I'm getting 9 out of 10 satellites while INDOORS.

Ok thanks ill give it a go. I just factory reset and going to re root and flash.

[Q] Will DG17 prevent Froyo?

Cliff Notes, i saw this thread on the update to DG27, but I need to know if there is a short cut to get to the newest build or if Froyo will be unable to get without the playing catch up
I did some searching, but if you can forward any information there is about this, that would be helpful and a moderator can delete this...
I looked today at my gf/s epic and noticed she was on build version DG17, and from what I understand, this is old. I cannot find anything on the sprint website found here, so I took er to the sprint store for an update, and all these dolts kept saying is Froyo is not out yet, you need to wait, not listening to anything I was actually saying. After they began to listen they said she is literally stuck, SOL with the version she has until Froyo is released for her device, and that Sprint and Samsung have no updates for her device. Furthermore, whenever I check for an update on her device it always says it is up to date. So, after getting annoyed I came here for help.
I did read somewhere on this forum that being on the older build version causes issues with future updates. If this is true, will she be able to get Froyo if it ever comes out, and is it a good idea to to the updates in between (S:D700.0.5S.DG27 8/30/2010, S:D700.05S.DI07 9/16/2010, S:D700.05S.DI18 9/30/2010, etc), and, if it is possible to manually update the Epic, how does one do it? Once the morons at the sprint store started listening they said There was nothing I can do but wait for Froyo, but I did not instill much trust in them.
Thanks,
Carl
P.S. Please don't flame me, I know very little about the Epic and even less about working with it, but I am capable of doing the update, with your help, of course.

Here use this. Use Odin to go to di18 which is where she needs to be to get froyo ota. Unless you want the leak which works great for me it's dk28. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138. Yeah for some reason you are still on the launch day software. You are 3 updates behind. Use that link to dl Odin and download whichever rom you want dk28 for 2.2 or di18 for 2.1 and use Odin to flash. You will wipe all data and it will be like getting a brand new phone. Just follow the instructions exactly how they are written. Good luck.

you can update your epic regardless of what version you're on to the current official build (DI18) which is "Eclair" and fixes many of the original issues with the phone. You you can also go straight to an update to the newest unofficial build (DK28) "Froyo" but this will make you unable to receive the official Froyo OTA update. But take note that the OTA update is not important as the developers on this site will most definitely provide superior alternatives to updating to Froyo when the OTA update eventually does become available (it has been delayed yet again).
THIS WILL DELETE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR PHONE
*Assuming that you want to return to the current official build used by sprint which is at this moment DI18*
*Only use main/direct-to-motherboard USB slot on PC (not on the face of your PC)*
*Only use high quality USB cable shorter than 3' and not the stock cable*
*Make sure SAMSUNG USB drivers are Installed*
*Make sure your battery is more than 50% charged*
1. SD Card is REMOVED, USB is UNPLUGGED and Battery is REMOVED from phone
2. While Phone is UNPLUGGED from USB, place battery in phone
3. Press and Hold the "1" key and Power button together to reach Download Mode
*KEEP USB UNPLUGGED FROM PHONE and phone in Download Mode*
4. Extract and Run Odin3.exe (Ignore the .pit file included in Odin3+v1.61andepic.pit.zip)
*Leave the "PIT" selection empty*
5. In Odin Uncheck "F. Reset Time", make sure "Auto Reboot" is the only box checked
6. In Odin click PDA and select your .Md5 file (SPH-D700-DI18-8Gb-REL.tar.md5)
7. Plug USB in PHONE and wait for yellow COM box highlight to appear in Odin
8. In Odin Press Start and WAIT patiently

so either way she cannot get it re sync'd back to do it on its own? is that what I'm gathering? I hope that is untrue. And either option she has to wipe her phone? The people at sprint said wait for Froyo but she needs to get to DI18? This is all a bit confusing.

Without DI18, you won't be able to get the OTA for DL11, which is final froyo. You will have to use odin, and yes it will wipe the phone. Just backup contacts to your Google account and use Titanium Backup for the apps.

This isn't entirely true.
There will be an update for DI18 -> DL** out soon-ish. However, an update from DG27 and whatever the other one is will be available *eventually*. How long eventually is unknown and could be forever.

I thought there was a di18 update zip floating around here that he can flash threw the stock recovery?
What I suggest is root the phone in question and install clockwork mod recovery. One cwm is installed you can make a nandriod back up. Use odin and the di18 tar to get to di18. Root and install cwm again. Restore tory back up with selecting data only. Now your up to date with apk your data. You are also rooted and have cwm installed and you won't be blocked from an ota unless you start flashing custom roms and removing stock apps

You can have her phone on di18 in five mins. Them it would take her no mre than ten mins to set it back up. All her contacts are saved and all she has to do is reinstall her apps. It doesn't take that long. Plus the update to di18 update takes the upload cap off.

Very true, eventually being the key word lol. If you do want the OTA right off the bat though, DI18 is the way to go. Mystery, I thought I saw that floating around as well, I just worry about the Modem.bin being flashable in clockwork; as of yet I don't know if anyone has been able to accomplish that. But with Koush's help it could be possible.

Isn't DG17 to di18 just a firmware update? You only click android update in the settings when going from android 2.1 to 2.2 (software update). I don't think he needs to go to the trouble of using odin.... I could be wrong but its give that a try if you haven't already.

What is the upload cap? My phone is currently rooted and with CWM but still at DG17. Thanks.

Will DG17 prevent Froyo? At this point you first need to worry about Sprint and Samsung preventing Foyo and at the moment they are doing a very good job.

Update. So after the rumors of the upcoming froyo release, can sprint push it when the device does not get the triggered update? Or can the morons at the sprint store do this?

First off, Kaoscinate V5 is in a very early stage, and you should not expect everything to work. Wifi is one of those things. That is one of the things that is not yet supported, so I am not surprised that Wifi didnt work in it. I would go install Adrenalynes Fix All DI01, then the EB01 Modem, EB01 rom, etc...

I knew it would be buggy, I have never tested a newer rom before and did not realize the issues can move from rom to rom when restoring.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but just get you a good healthy backup, then a good titanium backup. Then worst case you can odin and be right back where you were in twenty minutes. Worth it for me to be able to try out all this cool new stuff.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

I will have to do that, I keep titanium up to date. I am going to play with just rom some more I will just have to have a process to recover faster if it happenes again. Thanks for the input.

Wifi stuck in an Infinite loop

So i went from Syndicate rom on EB13 and flashed over it with the new Frankenstein rom, when i got the rom working my wifi stopped working. Figureing this was just an issue with the rom its self i flashed the whole phone back to EB13 Stock. This didnt work so i re-flashed all the way back to DG27 using odin and my Wifi still isn't connecting to my network. It will see the network, then it will just hang saying Obtaining address. Some times it will get past obtaining adress and it will stop working by just saying out of range. I dont know what else to do. Anyone know what i should do?? I refuse to believe this is a hardware problem due to how fast it was messed up after tinkering with the software. Is there anything i can do to completely reset everything on the phone?

did u flash with odin? Did u wipe cache/data/delvick between each flash? I had this happen to my phone. I reinstalled original os (di18) with odin and it worked fine.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

I always Wipe everything before i flash anything onto my phone so yes...
I guess i could try takinng it all the way back to di18 rather than DG27

I figured just didn't want to assume. Try flashing back to original os with odin. Outside of that idk what else to tell ya. Good luck. If I come across anything I will pass it on to ya.
