When reading about roms I always see them saying to make sure I have some specific version of the modem, which needs to be flashes separately, etc
What is the modem? Is it just the baseboard version on the system info page?
Yes.
Sent from my Galaxy Tab, that makes phone calls
So if that says (something something).DK28, I have the DK28 modem?
When I update to a different Rom (planning to pick up one of the ones based on official 2.2 when they come out) do I need to do something else to get a newer version of the modem too?
Yes if it says ....dk28 under baseband you have 2.2 modem. If you want to flash a custom rom you are fine. Your baseband is already updated. The reason why roms say that is some people used the update.zip method to go to froyo but you still had to Odin your modem so people were on froyo but modem was on eclair. If you use Odin with the tar files you always get the modem with it. Good luck
I used update.zip to get to DK28 and it says I have the DK28 modem.
Baseband version: S: D700:0:55: DK28

Yes, there is one update.zip that will flash the modem, but it requires you to be on DI18.
Odin is the fool-proof method
yes odin is the best way. it starts you out with a clean start.

Hey noob question here. I flashed the viper rom and I don't like it . How do I unflash it, as in make things back to normal.
The obvious answer would be use your backup if you made one. If not you can flash a different rom. If you decide to flash a 2.1 rom you'll need to flash a 2.1 kernel as well. If you want to go back to stock I would just odin back to stock. Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=773032
except use the file from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794138
I would consider something like the acs dk17 because it's completely stable and it is essentially the same as a 2.1 stock rom but it has the capabilities of 2.2. Going back to 2.1 would (to me) be the same as using a stock dk17 rom like acs, which I'm using right now and loving. Two cents.
odin
Is there only one type of odin because the link you gave me for restoring had a broken odin download link. I see another odin download that's for the acs dk17 and was wondering if it'll be the same.
Yeah you can use the new odin. If for some reason that fails pm me and I'll give you the old version of odin.

Hi guys
Currently I am using ugjl2 stock rom with speedmod kernel.
I cant wait until samsung provides gb update, they are too slow in progress, especially in north america.
Korean version of galaxy s is already updated and had some more updates for bugs
Back to the topic,
Can anyone recommend me custom gb rom thats easy to install and has full camera performance?
Oh! And i need the way to get back to froyo(ugjl2) stock rom.
Do I just flash ugjl2 file via odin?
Um...also I need to keep 3g working
Thx
I used both Simply Honey and now Juwe, no problems.
Well... there is the OS battery drain glitch happens once in a blue moon... simple restart solves the problem...
Just make sure you flash an 850 enabled modem KC1, JL2 or JK4 etc...
To get back to stock just flash in Odin, I have not done it but do a search on here people seem to say just flash the stock firmware.
P.S. Froyo UGKC1 is newer then JL2
Do you flash kc1 modem after the gb flashing or together? And where can I find odin flashable kc1 modem?

Do you flash kc1 modem after the gb flashing or together? And where can I find odin flashable kc1 modem?
Do you have kc1 modem?or links that i can downlaod it?
And does csc matter??
just flash the kc1 modem after you have installed the ROM, there are lots of links with modems just search to forums... You can either use oden and just flash the phone file but there are also some CWM versions you can install from recovery.
How about the csc??
Do i need to flash another file? Or doesn matter?
flashing a csc that is not compatible with ther kernel will mess it up... so I suggest not flashing the csc. just flash the phone file

I'm running Tweaky's 4.1 which has a JVO modem. As you can see in the screens, I'm on KC1 and the CSC is different from the PDA (but the only thing I changed on the phone was the modem). Simply follow the instructions flashing the kernel & rom. In my case it was install the rom on the SD card, flash the kernel via odin, install the rom in recovery, reboot, clear caches and when everything was up and okay, flash KC1 modem by itself via odin.
An additional safeguard against battery drain is Autostart. It analyses whats running in various stages of boot and normal operating modes. So you can turn off background operations (like updates) accordingly, and save juice.
I've been running stock JVK with CF-root kernel and KC1 modem. I have great battery life and the phone is super snappy. I'm thinking of upgrading to another GB build but I'm quite happy with JVK so until I start seeing some slowdowns or there's some major improvements I'm just going to stay with JVK.
Jvk is just not official and probably contains more bugs then jvh or jvo

JVO was the most stable in my experience.
Rumor has it JVO fixes some bugs on JVH and also fixes the OS battery drain issue
SH3.5 and change the karnel after install
the best for me

I was on JVH (JVO modem) simply honey and Juwe's for awhile and I was getting 2 days+ battery life with moderate use on Bell. This was compared to 1-1.5 days on JVK modem.
Then I switched to MIUI, though the battery drain issues haven't been fixed there yet and I'm back to getting around a day-ish charge.

I'm still getting the android OS battery drain bug on JVO. Has happened after playing Cordy and playing music on doubletwist. Going to try using SetCPU to throttle it down when the screen is off.

hi, posted similar on another thread but still fairly new at this so could do with a bit of advice please?
i9000m running stock froyo 2.2 kc1, speedmod kernel.
is getting GB simply a case of flashing a new kernel or do i have to go with a custom rom? i wouldn't have to change the phone/csc files in odin would i?
After installing one of the Gingerbread roms (Default [ROM] [CM7] [7/14/11] Trigger Redux ยป Build 13 ) I had to go back to Froyo for Wifi Calling.
But when I flash any Froyo rom using the clockworkmod v4.0.1.0 I get this error:
Amend scripting is no longer supported... Installation aborted.
Do I need a previous version of CWM? Which one? And how to install it?
Any other solution?
Thank you in advance.
you need to odin to jfd first....

You *MUST* Odin back to jfd before flashing *ANYTHING* Samsung based if coming from anything CM7 based.

Thanks. It worked.
I just Odin'ed back to JFD. When I flash any kb5 froyo rom do I need to flash new radio? or anything else besides the rom itself?
Thank you.

Hi all, I'm new here so sorry if this is a noob question. I've been fiddling a bit with the software on my Vibrant and am a little confused which modem I'm using now. I flashed the Bionix V v1.3.1 which I believe has KB1. I proceeded to flash Overstock 1.4.3 found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967861 which is KA6 based. Does it mean that I have flashed over KB1 with KA6? I check the phone info and it says that the baseband version is T959UVKB1 though. I'm not sure if the baseband version changes with every modem flash or ROM flash.
Also, if I flash with an updated modem, eg. KB5, would my overstock be overwritten, or does it change only the modem?

whatever the extension on the baseband version is your Modem. So in your case its KB1.
Overstock is a kernel, totally different from the modem.
You can flash different kernels, it wont change your modem.
Kernels and Modems are two separate things. Overstock may be based on KA6, but that just involves the kernel.
If you flash the KB5 modem, that is the only thing that will change. Your kernel wont be affected.
Bionix 1.3.1 was built using KB1 modem
Its in the op for the rom

I am used to custom roms and android on many different devices. Have flashed many on SGS2 successfully, but am now facing issues with i9000!
(bell)
its Froyo
build number- FROYO-UGJL2
firmware version - 2.2
model number- gt-I9000M
I rooted with superoneclick, unlocked with GalaxyS_unlock
My goals: install CWM of course, and flash a custom rom (preferably a GB one)
I have no idea what to touch in this guide because my phone doesnt have any Jxx build numbers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
so then I looked at this guide-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379650
the "flashing jvp" rom link doesnt work so I cant follow that guide.
There are so many JVP and JVK etc etc I dont want to mess anything up
Since there is no UGL2 in the guides, should I update through samsung kies to their latest version and then re-root? Assuming the latest version through kies gives me a compatible build number
OR am I over thinking this, since I have successfully rooted, should I just download rom manager and install CWM from there?
And then go on to flash kg3 modem and install whichever rom I want?
Do I have to look for i9000m compatible roms?
--I just tried to use rom manager to get cwm, it said it worked fine but my recovery shows as 3e , not cwm
personally i would either upgrade using Kies or firmware from samfirmware to GB then root
Use Odin to flash JVT and take it from there.
After that you can flash the root kernel then flash whichever from you'd like.

The above link will get you odin and all the firmware you need.
Download the most recent JW5 firmware 2.3.6. Download the North American firmware UGKG3 2.3.3. Both these downloads need to be unzipped. Now in odin you will use the PDA file from JW5 and the modem and csc files from UGKG3. There are pit files included with the odin software download. Use the 512 pit file. Put your phone in download mode and flash it. Tell me when you done this and I'll how to root. It's very easy.

From this link. Download semaphore 2.7.4. tar. Place this file in pda and hit start. Takes about ten seconds and you're rooted.
To install a custom rom. Power down phone and use three button combo to access recovery and and install from sd. Choose zip. I recommend Dmore3.3 made for jw5. After you install a rom I recommend re flashing your kg3 modem and csc again in odin. Only those two nothing in pda. Enjoy

The person above you told me to flash JVT
Also it doesnt matter if I flash things that are not for i9000M? JW5 doesnt look like its for i9000m.
I should not use all the files from KG3? Whats the benefit from using the modem files from jw5 as opposed to kg3?
Thanks!
Bud your phone is essentially a I9000, I live in Canada, Victoria to be exact and my phone used to say I9000m on it, now it doesn't because I run jw5 as my pda. Anything made for I9000 will run on your phone. Just run kg3 as your modem and csc. The guy telling you to run jvt... I don't know why, it's an old, buggy rom. JW5 is the most recent and most likely the last update for the I9000. PDA is just the part of your phone that basically makes the phone do the cool stuff it does. Modem is the part that decides whether or not you will have good coverage. That's why you use kg3, because that is the bell Canada modem. It will be fine. Note the first link I gave you, notice how the title says both I9000 and I9000m that's because they are the same phone. Your phone is only an m because you are running the stock bell firmware. You can flash kg3 for the whole thing if you want pda included... But they are no good root kernels for it and I don't believe there are any custom roms for it. But it's better than what you have now.

Did all of that, but no matter what I flash as the pda, the phone will not boot.
If I flash the kg3 as pda, the phone will boot.
I found a pre-rooted kd3 on xda and flashed that as modem and even that will not boot.
after flashing kg3 to get it to boot, i tried flashing semaphore and I get stuck in a bootloop so I had to flash kg3 again
