I currently have a i-9000, the 3 button version in my hand.
I'm trying to use this for T-mobile.
Somehow, I was lucky to get 3 button PDA file for JFD.
I have been using it ever since for my t-mobile account,
however...
I'm in big urge to try the ROM.
I already have rooted and done several things with my brother's
vibrant version of Galaxy S, as there is many ROM's out there for it.
However, obviously, it is impossible to find ROM for I-9000 that is
designated for T-mobile U.S. version.
Is there anyway I can solve this problem..
I know that.. if I tried something like..
rooted i-9000 with any I-9000 rom on this forum won't work,
nor can I flash the modem file only after flashing ROM on the device.
What is possible solution?
My ultimate goal is to Froyo this i-9000 and use it as T-mobile USA.
Just wondering, why the need for a TMobile ROM?
The hardware is different, so it's prob not a good idea anyway. Your i9000 doesn't support the AWS band needed for 3G on T-Mobile, so you're prob stuck on EDGE. You might as well just use i9000 Euro froyo.
I want to use the I-9000 for T-mobile USA.
That's why I want to do this.
Currently, I have JFD installed and its working flawlessly,
but I'm thinking about loading a rom, but being cautious
Hello all i am new to the forum and i just upgraded to Atrix from the the Samsung Galaxy I7500 which did ok, but was slow. Anyway i was wondering if anyone could give me advice on what rom i should use and which is the best and how to do it I have heard that devs are still trying to unlock the boot loader. My Atrix is bought from BELL.
This kind of thread always gets closed.
Theres only three psuedo roms for the Atrix right now, and I don't think any of them are compatible with BELL Atrix.
The bootloader hasnt been unlocked/bypassed yet, so hold on tightly. I'm not sure if the BELL Atrix can flash the 2.22.11(Not sure on the number) update, which has a variety of driver updates, etc. You should research more in the development thread.
Hope I've guided you in the right direction.
Oh sorry I should read the rules sorry, please close this thread thanks i will start searching.
Thanks

Just wanting to let you know that there is more than likely a Gingerbread (Android 2.3.3) firmware update for your phone.
If interested then there is more information in this thread:

thx Guys ,,
i tried SGS unlock from market but it shows unlock code as : null !!!
also i tried manually search and edit nv_data.bin but i ddnt find it and find bml3.bak
(as other methods says) also tried to search it for SSNV but no success!!
whats is the guranteed methid even if it possible to get back to 2.1 !!
please help me
note: (phone doesnt ask for code when i insert another SIM !!)
Buy the SGS Unlocker from market author Degantboy or something like that.. the paid version 100% works on my phone.... it use to show me unlock code on 2.1 but not 2.2+ but still unlocks my phone.
Run the unlock procedure, reboot phone, shut phone off, place in new sim card, power up phone, if the phone isn't unlocked re-run app with new SIM card and reboot, voila should fix your problem.
Your phone needs to be rooted. and the free versions don't work for me.
you can always just buy the unlock code to unlock the sim restriction.
http://unlockcellphonecode.com/code-for-unlocking-samsung-cell-phone
worked for me.
While we're on this topic, I used one of the free apps back when I had 2.1 to get the unlock code.
I've never used it, but I have the code saved. Now that I have updated to 2.2 and then 2.3, would the code still work?
Hmm another factor is that I must have done that before I had the phone repaired (as the repaired one came back with 2.2). I wonder if whatever board they replaced will have a different unlock code? I guess it might be based on the IMEI? Not sure if that changed or not...
Nv data hex edit. Change a 1 to 0, and permanent unlock. search for instructions, they are on this forum and search really isn't that hard to use.

Guys, once the Bell SGS is unlocked, which networks can it run on? I'm specifically interested in Wind. Can it run on AWS/1700?
Sorry for the slight hi-jack but I can't find accurate info anywhere.

You must get confused by the T-mobile Vibrant when searching for information. The Bell SGS does not have band 1700, as such, it will not work on Wind. The T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant includes 1700 but does not have band 850/1900.
I used superoneclick to root then purchased SGS Unlock Pro. When I upgraded to GB via Kies, the unlock remained. I had used the app that got the unlock code but when I re-locked my device, the code stopped working.
found that the free version of SGS Unlocker
(Samsung Galaxy S Unlock Tool DaGentooBoy)
and Galaxy S Unlock (by Helroz) don't unlock the i9000m running android 2.3.3
(superoneclick was used for rooting)
sorry couldn't post links

I have used Galaxy S Unlock by Helroz, however in order for it to work, you may have to install/upgrade busybox.
I found the easiest way to do this was to superoneclick, then install titanium backup and make sure it has root access. Then upgrade busybox from within. Then you can use the Galaxy S Unlock to unlock.
i did this on my newer phone, and also on my family member's Galaxy S2 from Bell.
altering nv_data.bin might end in total imei lose if you corrupt it
and please do not pay or purchase full apps to unlock your device !!!!

I also have a Canadian Bell GS2 with CM9, root, busybox... I'm trying to put a Rogers sim card in it.
I have tried both the Galaxy S Unlock as well as the Galaxy unlock app from Herloz unsuccessfully...
I have tried to run the unlock code generator by feeding it the nv_data.bin, but my GPU is not supported, and I'm not exactly keen on messing up my EFS files.
I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me?
Perhaps I could have you guys run the tool with the attached nv_data.bin?
Much appreciated.
A friend of ours gave us a T-Mobile Google G2. My wife would like to use it on AT&T but its locked to T-Mobile.
I was reading various threads and attempted some of em but with no success. One I read suggested that since its on 2.3.4 that it should be downgraded to 2.2.
I would really appreciate if someone could point out to me a thread that would work with 2.3.4 and potentially put ICS on it.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi guys, sorry for asking this, I know it is probably mentioned but I have spent the last 2 hours in this forum for various interests, including my galaxy gear and my eyes are hurting right now...lol
So before I attempt something and make a mistake because I missed something, I figured I ask straight to the point...
I am on the latest 4.3 OTA update on my fido S4.
I am interested to possibly flash the Rom to another one that is clean (without all the stock apps) and gain access also to bluetooth tether which is right now not available through fido.
If, this is an option with another ROM (which I am hoping it is)
So is a ROM available ? That can be flashed over the latest update ?
I found some threads but they were referring to already rooted phones etc...I am just not sure where I stand with the latest update, so I would really appreciate some info.
Thanks.
I have a Fido S4 on MDJ(4.2.2). I rooted and unlocked(using RegionLock away). If I flash a newer rom will I see a significant speed difference or performance boost?
Thanks

I'm pretty sure you can not unlock phone using region lock away, but on MDJ you can with secret menu, provided you never updated to mg1. Besides 4.2.2 Fido and before, was not region locked at all.
Maybe now with 4.3 it is. Did not check and can't be bothered looking for European sim card.
To answer main question. No! If you factory reset phone you will, but that's only temporary, which is why newbies keep saying it's faster and better with every firmware.

I am not the first to claim I unlocked with RegionLock away. I inserted a T-Mobile sim and a Bell sim, and it did not ask for an unlock code. Before I ran RegionLock away, when I inserted a T-Mobile sim, it did ask for unlock code. Also, many people say the secret menu unlock doesn't work for Fido and/or screws up something.
Oh, what's that formula for POST COUNTS and NEWBIES again?
Hey guys, checking in again...
Sorry for the question, don't want to be flamed but there are A LOT of posts about different versions and I really do not want to screw up.
So :
Canadian fido S4 on 4.3 over the air update. Can I still root ? Possible link to the correct method ?
Any ROM available that is clean and would re activate BT tethering ? Link if any ?
Sorry guys, I am not lazy, just dizzy reading all the threads and trying to short them out between versions...
A mistake would put me in worse situation and 2 simple answers from anyone that knows would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
