Installed Viper rom, with root. Phone boots up fine, but It wont go out of airplane mode. Anyone have any ideas where I went wrong.
I thought I followed the directions.... Is the only way to fix is flash back to stock?
Thanks!!

did you flash the dk28 modem before flashing Viper?
I did.. but I think this is where I went wrong. I wasn't sure how to flash just the DK28 Modem without linking a tar with it. So I flashed the DK28 modem with a 2.1 tar.. How do I flash the DK28 without anything else using ODIN?

Hmm... I'm pretty sure it should have worked either way... as long as you ended up with your baseband version ending with dk28. I'm not at my computer at the moment, but there is a modem tar file that gives you just the dk28 modem, without actually updating you to Froyo.... but I would think you should have been good either way. After Odin, did the phone reboot, and did you have dk28 at the end of your baseband version? Sorry if I can't help more... lol.
I've seen your problem happen before when the dk28 modem flash didnt take. Just do it again. You don't need another tar to flash the modem, just the modem.bin.
So when using ODIN, just select the modem bin and install?
>>You don't need another tar to flash the modem, just the modem.bin.
Why not just flash the dk28 tar?
Clean install; and will allow your GPS to fix
He already has viper rom installed and just needs the modem. If he odined dk28, then he would have to convert to ext4 and install his rom again. If he just flashes the modem, then he can go on his merry way.
Well I just tried flashing the modem again.. Now all I get when I try to power up the phone is the screen comes on with a small icon of a phone with a icon of a computer with a yelllow triangle with an exclamation point inside of it.. This doesn't look good.
Darn Noobs anyways.. Any ideas on what I did, and how I can get it back?

I'm just taking this from the ACS thread [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861220]here[/URL] but it looks like you need to use the modem and pit file. There is a big link in the first post.
Their instructions then simply say
1. Download from the first link and use the included files to flash the modem (check only "Auto Reboot" on the left, use the PIT in the "PIT" section and modem.tar in the "PDA" section on the right.)
Hope this helps, if not - please ignore accordingly
Edit: Well I just saw you have a new problem. I think I would just flash with the DK28 Extended tarball found here. This will be a full odin flash, modem and all and you'll have a fresh DK28 that is prerooted and ready to go. Then you'd just need to do install CWM 3 and then flash your ROM of choice. I recommend Midnight, but Viper is popular too.
Thats what I just downloaded and tried to install with Odin. Now I cannot boot into recovery or anything. It just comes up with an icon of a phone and computer on the screen with a yellow triangle in between them. I pulled that battery, put it back in with no luck.

I've seen that screen before.... so it's fixable. I think the key is gonna be if you can still get into download mode, and get Odin to work. I once had to run Odin 10 times til it finally worked. Somw people say to remove your sd card when using Odin... but I don't know if that's the key. Also, are you following the directions as to the buttons on the left, and leaving auto-reboot checked?
Here's a question: what is happening when Odin stops doing what it's doing? Did it run thru the install and say 'pass' at the end? And in the dialog box, did it say (something like) succeed:1 fail:0? At that point the phone should reboot into the new system.

Its odin time now; no other choice. So go ahead and hold 1 and power to boot into download mode and flash the dk28 tar.

I had to do a bunch of things, and don't know what finally made it work for sure but my theory. . .
I was able to get it to boot into clockwork by plugging it into the charger. But even after reseting everything it would still come up with the screen I describe before.
The way I believe I got it back into download mode was to take out the battery, hook it to the USB cable and then hold down the # 1 with the power button. Could of just been a conicendince though.
Anyways... it is fixed and working with ViperRom.

upgraded to DL30 from DJ05 modem, had message on my phone that modem crashed. Now I have Blue circle on my phone. Cannot get 3G signal, make phone calls or even dial *228. Says I need to disable airplane mode or but I don't have airplane mode enabled. Tried Flashing DJ05 modem, when the green letters say choose zip from card,
--Installing:SDCARD:update.zip
Finding update package...
E:/Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip
Installation aborted.
any ideas
Try wiping dalvic cache in cwm and cache And rebooting
Reboot may take a little longer than normal. Not sure this will fix it but it's worth a try. Seems something like this happend to me awhile back and I think this solved it
Also u can't flash a modem in clockwork. odin only as far as I know.

What process did you use to update? I think you're a little confused... DL30 doesn't have a corresponding modem, so you have to use either the DJ05, DL09, or new EA28 (which I don't think anyone has pulled for flashing yet). If you tried to flash something with Odin, you need to reflash one of those (DJ05 or DL09) modems using the PDA button *not PHONE*
This exact thing happened to me yesterday. I figured since I am not on verizon something happened with the prl and checked my phone and all info in about phone was gone. What I did was risky, I restored a back up of dj05...and while it was frozen at the samsung part, pulled the battery and restored my dl30 back up. Worked fine. I know your pain though, frustrating.
Edit: also make sure both airplane modes are off. There's one when holding down the power button and another in settings.

Cant dump a modem if you don't know where it is. And the modems they include with the OTAs are partial modems. Not the full thing.

I flashed from TW Bionix-v 1.21 to Trigger 2.1.1 and though the flash went great and the rom seemed to work perfect, my data is all messed up. It seems stuck on E now where before I was always on H. Speedtest has gone from 4000kbps down to 120kbps down. I flashed back to Bionix and even flashed in the KA6 modem that I had the best results with before and the problem still persists. In Boinix it will show the data speed as H, but as soon as I try to access the internet or use Speedtest, it drops to G, then to E. I'm lost as to where to go from here. Any help is greatly appreciated.
What about flashing back to stock using odin then reflashing the rom
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Woah, wait up don't flash back to stock or anything. Follow this thread, it has all the modem software in it. I suggest using Odin...it's real simple, just dl the file extract it and load it into the phone section in odin and hit start....BAM you got a new modem. Do tests with JL5, it's a good modem.
I was thinking of flashing back to stock but I've never done it before. Is there anything I need to do differently because of Voodoo? I may just go the AIO Toolbox method if that's ok.
I won't be doing anything until later tonight. I've flashed a few modems in the modem thread, but none have fixed this problem. I may just flash back to stock (I really don't mind), but I'm just nervous about doing it because of having Voodoo on my phone right now. Can I just flash back to stock using the AIO Tools, or is this ill-advised?
Always best to disable lag fixes, I do it even if I don't have to. If the problem is persisting through different modems I dunno what's up....maybe hardware related? Maybe try one of those cell reception mods. That'd be the absolute last thing I'd do though, try every modem if you can.
I really don't know what happened. It may have even been a bad flash with Trigger, that's when things went bad. Honestly I wish I'd have just stayed put with Bionix. The phone was working perfectly with it. Oh well, I think I'll try flashing back to stock, then going back to Bionix.
Try this:
Settings-->Wireless and Network-->Mobile Networks-->Network Mode
I have mine set to WCDMA only. I only use Auto mode when I travel outside of town. Works great and keeps me out of the edge network.

DUDE, if you haven't ever flashed back to stock, I recommend it now then reflash the new rom. It will totally clean up in ghost data in the phone.
Remember the sequence is Backup everything 1st, then disable the lagfix, Then flash the froyo that does not brick (do not check the repartition box), then flash Stock JFD (this time check the repartition box) Then Root, then, the flash your new rom then Download Rom manager and titanium backup and you are good to go.
BTW, you most likely got a corrupted bit of software in the flash or already it was on the phone but there is no way of knowing, THAT is why you should do this.

Sorry to hear that man. I've had this problem before... looong ago. I had just flashed a new release of a TW ROM and all the sudden my data was stuck on E. I was freaking out just like you haha. I odined to stock and reflashed at least 3 times and the problem persisted.
I just left the phone on overnight and it seemed to work itself out by morning. Maybe it was T-Mobile doing maintenance or maybe the phone was just being retarded...
Either way, I'd suggest flashing back to stock at least once to clear things up. Check back in the AM and see if it's fixed or not

I've never flashed back to stock, and of course all of these excellent custom roms have me flashing like a madman. I think I've flashed at least 5 different roms in the last month at least. I think I understand what you mean by "ghost" data. It's like the old days in Windows 98 where an upgrade install was never as good as a clean install. Flashing back to stock is sort of a clean install for Android I'm guessing?

Ok, this is strange. It looks like this is exactly what's happening. I'm now getting 4000+kbps down again on H. All day though the phone has been bouncing down to E every time I access the internet, go to market, etc. Upload is still quite a bit lower than it used to be though. Still, in the back of my mind though I feel like what oka said above is probably not a bad idea. For peace of mind I'm going to flash back to stock using AIO Vibrant Toolbox, then root, then flash either Bionix or Trigger back on.
Btw, for the short amount of time I had Trigger installed on my phone, I can tell you that it's a VERY nice rom. It looks great and is at least as fast, if not faster than Bionix. Great, great work.
I was having this problem earlier today too on Bionix. I was downloading Quadrant and I was stuck in E for a couple of hours. Must be something wrong with Bionix. Either way it's working now and I hope you solve your problem!

hi,
info : bell GT-i900m
rom : darky's 9.2
so heres my problem. my phone crashed yesterday so i removed the battery and then when I launch it back i got stock in the Darky's boot screen. I was also unable to go to CWM to update to the last version of Darky's rom so i used odin to flash the original 2.1 and now whatever version of the firmware i try to flash on the phone install successfully in odin but i get a "Galaxy S GT-9000" that appear in loop every 5-10 second until i remove the battery. I still have access to download mode....
anybody have a solution ? should i install a stock rom and go to warranty ? or should I just trow it 2 second in the microwave so they dont see that i installed costum rom ?
Sounds like corrupt and faulty movinand. Send it back for warrantee. Don't even worry about what rom is on it, it's a hardware fault. I sent mine back with a half booting custom froyo with speedmod, they didn't care. If you want to be safe, just flash a stock rom quickly. Don't microwave it...

thanks a lot i'll send it to bell tomorrow
Can you boot the stock 2.1 you installed through Odin?
Flash jpc with repartition.
Flash jl2 on top. If that still doesnt work, then its most like the good ol' faulty chip.

Flashing the JL2 on top/after JPC is done WITHOUT repartition!!! just clarifying that, learnt from reading on here and helping a couple of people with them, lol.
(the i9000m's don't like repartitioning and flashing done at the same time, needs restart between them.. not a clue why, they're "special", lol.)
Flash Boot and spl.bin with heimdall. This is The solution.
It is definitely your bootloader.... flash jl2 firmware but there is a fixed one somewhere here on xda as the one from samfirmware is missing dbdata. Worked like a charm for me. (I also have it on my laptop somewhere pm me and ill find it) then you should flash superoptimized kernel or speedmod kernel via Odin with reboot unchecked. You should have recovery back. I've been through this issue and spent hours trying to get back to normal.
I have a few files to get you running if you get stuck....like I said just hit me up with a pm

I had the same issue as alot of you with not having ANY GPS at all after flashing the ACS ICS V2 Rom.
I found a solution:
After flashing the rom flash the
Modem_EI22.zip fome the 2nd post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1339344
That worked for me. Hope it works for others
trying now...
(update) - no difference, still needed to ODIN to EC05, end up back at EI22 with NO GPS. oh well.
I flashed the rom 3 times last night with no luck on the GPS. I did this this morning and it worked. Maybe I just did something different.
Update:
GPS worked Once...Now it wont work Again.
Maybe I had a fluke.
I odined back to stock ec05, used stock recovery to update. After first boot I used odin and installed acs recovery, did the rom wipe, installed and have it running great with last gps check 6/6 in my apartment.

Ok, I'm starting over. I'm going to Odin back to Stock EC05 modem and ROM. Go through the process over again and see where it gets me.
I'm thinking because I didn't go back to the stock EC05 ROM, but did go to the EC05 modem that something is missing.
1. Odin to Stock EC05
2. CWM v3.1.0.1
3. Get GPS lock
4. Flash ACS ICSv2
5. Flash EI22 Modem
Fixed....3/3 sats in 30 seconds indoors facing north.
edit: EI22 modem didn't take the first time, GPS was with the EC05 modem. Rreflashed the EI22 modem listed in this thread...and...no GPS.
yea
ok so i get that i can odin back to stock ec05 reroot+cwm then flash ACS ICS to fix the gps, but can i make a nandroid and restore my data and keep gps, cause ive just spent a good hour or so getting it back like i want it and i dont want to do that bs again lol

Well I have GPS working...
1. Odin to Stock EC05
2. CWM v3.1.0.1
3. Get GPS lock (shutdown and 3 finger salute)
4. Flash EI22 modem (Ec05toEI22 .zip)
5. Flash ACS ICS v2
I haven't rebooted the phone yet, but was able to get the GPS service to properly start and to lock in on 4/4 satellites.
