Galaxy S from Bell CA in Brazil

I got the Galaxy S vibrant from Bell Canada. It was working fine in Canada with I9000XXJPK rom. Now back in Brazil, I'm trying to unlock using tutorials but seems that nv_data.bin is missing or file has zero bytes. Is there something I could do about? Thanks for any help.

it might be best to go back to stock JH2
JPK has been killing some internal SD on those phones

All the new JP? Froyo ROMs modified the efs to prevent you from extracting the unlock code that easily. The unlock method only works with 2.1 ROMs. It will be quite difficult to get your unlock code file back even if you flash back to 2.1 ROM. But I hear it can be done.

it's best to unlock it on 2.1 then use the code on 2.2

thanks! anyway, seems that no method works after update ... maybe the only way will be buying unlock code by IMEI.

just flash it back to JH2 or any stock 2.1
then do the unlock, it works, people have done it before check the Dev forum

[Q] XXJG7 Firmware

Hi Guys,
Ive searched the forum, to no avail...
I would like to flash my Apollo with FroYo, but for safety's sake im trying to find a copy of my original firmware so I can flash it back and use KIES if needed.
If I type in *#1234# I get:
PDA I5800XXJG7
Phone I5800XXJG3
CSC I5800XXJG5
Does any kind person have the relevant files handy for upload please?
Also, If I flash a new firmware should they all match the original (ie the I5800XX part).
Thanks for your help

I posted the same question a week ago. I didn't get a straight answer. I had the same firmware before i flashed to XXJPM. Your firmware is XXJG7, but I didn't find it on samfirmware. I found XWJG7, but I think that is not the same, because there is xxjpf and xwjpf - the first one being older. To update via kies when the official update comes u need an official firmware, XXJG7 is official since u got it with your phone, but u cant find it, can you? So you need any official firmware, but i don't know witch are official except XXJG7... Anyway don't bother with this, you can flash froyo without backup, i did it and nothing went wrong but be cautius and folow the steps closly and when the official update comes it will be avaliable to flash via odin. until then flash any non official froyo

I have this rom and am uploading it now its I5800XXJG3 - csc xxjg5 - phone xxjg5 - pda xxjg7 will post a link soon

here you go
megaupload.com/?d=OYHZW0WX

Thanks
I see the numbers are slightly different, does it matter?
I have also read that flashing the bootloader can cause hard-brick issues, is it better not to flash the bootloader?

i did not flash the bootloader just to be on the safe side, not sure what the cl447760 & cl460190 mean all i tell you is kies see's this as the latest firmware for my phone the uk .
i got the phone three weeks aga at the carphone warehouse it is unbranded and unlocked

Thanks again for your help. I have now upgraded mine to the standard XXJPM FroYo with ODIN. Just out of interest, is there a way I could have got the old firmware off my phone into files like you uploaded?

i think you can dd them to the sd card but not sure how to do it , i googled for ages to find my that firmware on some random site because i did not like froyo after i flashed it

ive gone back to 2.1 until i can find a fix for icons not staying on the home screen from apps installed on the sd card after a reboot. other than that i was pleased with it.

[Q] Firmware Flashing Query

I am currently running on stock JPM. I want to try out JPQ. Can i flash over JPM or do i need to flash back to eclair and then flash? I used to have DDJG5, but that is not available on samfirmware.com.
If I need to come back to eclair, can I flash DDJG6?
Please help out.

Yes you can flash jpq directly and if you want to revert to eclair you can flash Ddjg6..
Remember to delete boot.bin and sbl.bin from jpq before flashing and a data wipe would be good in order to avoid unwanted problems ...

I just flashed jpq and I think I am stuck in a boot loop. How to know exactly if I am stuck in a boot loop?
How do I correct this?

Solved...
Flashed to JG6 and then flashed to JPQ with sim card and memory card removed.

can you guys help me what is this JPM and JPQ as i m noob..
and how can i found what i have..?

Hi,
You will find JPM and JPQ at http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm
Their full title would be I5800XXJPM AND I5800XXJPQ. An explanation of what the letters mean is found on samfirmware at the link I have given you. Registration is free.
To find out what you have got go to Applications - Settings - About Phone, and look at your Firmware version and Baseband version.

Basically JPM and JPQ are froyo firmware for our Galaxy 3. These firmwares are European firmwares.
If samsung has not released an update for froyo in your region then you may flash any of these above firmwares onto your phone. There are lots of theads regarding Flashing in this forum.
Keep in mind that flashing a firmware other than that which has been released in your region will void your warrenty.(Well you can always flash back to the old firmware i.e eclair).
You can get these firmwares from www.samfirmware.com or try this thread below
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063940".
Go through this thread... Kinda useful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858583.
To check your current firmware... goto settings-->about phone.
Check your Build there.
Hope i've helped. Hit Thanks, if u are satisfied.

Tried to root my phone now it loops galaxy s

Tried to root my cousins sgh-i897 phone now it loops with the galaxy s screen then restarts and shows the screen again. It had 2.3.3 on it and I used this file to try to root it CF-Root-XW_XEE_JVB-v3.1-CWM3RFS.tar
Maybe it was for the wrong phone/ os ver?
Oh btw its the rogers version
Anyhoo what do I do know? I feel bad because shes been sitting here forever
EDIT: If this is the wrong file could someone please show me where to go for the right one? I can still get into downloading so I think I didnt brink the thing
Thanks guys

Pop the battery and follow the instructions:
[HOWTO] Flashing CWRecovery to i9000m & upgrade to ICS AOSP 4.x ROM from any version
Just a caveat, I saw that you are on Bell but it's a Rogers phone. Bell = i9000m. Rogers = i9000m? What baseband/modem did it have?
[Firmwares]Official I9000/I9000M Firmwares collection [Latest: XWJW6, XWJW5, XXJW4]
i9000m uses KG3 modem (first link above).

thanks for the quick response, well I was an idiot and I flashed a ver of I896UXJL1 that gives me a at&t screen but it lets me boot into clockwork mod and downloading screen... its a rogers phone, Im doing this for my cousin (never again)
Ok so I found the original rom and put it back on the phone.... If she wants ICS shes gonna have to take it to someone more experienced lol
Thank you for all your help

SM-N910F Baseband/Modem firmware for Android 5.1

Hi all, just updated the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 to CyanogenMod 5.1.1 ROM. Phone doesn't recognize SIM card (I live in UK) anymore, baseband is showing as "unknown" under the About Phone section. Please can someone let me know where I can download the Baseband/Modem firmware for SM-N910F?
Many thanks!

You could attempt to download the full stock firmware by either using 'Samfirm' or the website 'Sammobile'
Unbranded Note 4 CSC is BTU but it is currently still on Android 5.0.1 but the modem and bootloader will still work fine with Cyanogenmod ROMs.

Right, I did download the official Samsung firmware N910FXXU1BOC5 from a website, but when flashing with Odin 3.09 I was getting a error. So I ended up using the customized ROM which didn't seem to have the baseband/model inside. How could I extract the baseband from the official firmware in MD5 format?

Bootloader
Modem
Put your phone in download mode manually (Pull the battery out and put it back in after 10 seconds and then hold volume down + Home button and power on the device) Then connect it to your PC and run Odin as Admin and flash the bootloader and modem.
Make sure you uninstall Kies if you have it installed.

Hi mate,
I have a quick question with which I hope you can help (if you have the time of course ). There is a newer firmware version for UK, which is COK3 (and O2, which is what I have), and I'd like to update to this one, but the only way I know would be to update the phone entirely and then root it again and install whatever mod rom I'm using from there. However, this would be a painful lot of work. Do you know (or mind sharing) how to extract the baseband from an official md5 release so as to update this only or as well as the bootloader? Is there any way to put the entire firmware md5 file on Odin and tell the software to update just one thing?
I saw that you did just that above and I'm having some trouble with the phone connection being lost quite often, so it would be of great help.
Many thanks in advance for your help mate!
Cheers

Thanks for the quick response mate! You are the man! I still have a couple of questions though. Firstly, what's the difference between the cp and bl files in the link in your signature? I take it that bl stands for bootloader, but not sure of what cp stands for then. In any case, the most important bit I need/want is the baseband, and since I'm in the UK and my network carrier is O2, I believe the XXU1COK3 (as per Sammobile) would be my best bet, is that right? Will it make much of a difference with the XXU1COJ3 that I have installed right now? In any case, is the bl-cok3.tar file in your link the same XXI1COK3 baseband?
Secondly, that other post that you included is for a galaxy s3 and within that topic they link to a galaxy s4 topic, will those files and guidelines also work for our note 4?
Finally, I have TWRP recovery and within advanced backup I can individually backup the boot (which I imagine is the bootloader) and the modem (which I suppose is the baseband as such). Do you know if I could I install a new firmware through Odin and, backup the modem and boot, and then restore everything but those two things from an different rom backup? Have you ever tried?
Thank you for your time bro! I know that these might be a little bit of a newbie's questions but for more thar I search, I can't find anything close enough to answer what I'm asking.

In the bootloader and modem folders I have included the latest Odin, if you use that the 'CP' and 'BL' will make sense.
CP= Modem
BL=Bootloader
The steps should still work for the Note4.
I don't back-up and restore bootloaders or modems using TWRP.

Aah OK, that makes sense. But then the modem I am talking about is not in that list, is it? However, the bootloader is I think. Is there any chance you could extract the xxu1cok3 modem for the UK and O2 to add it to your list? ?? Pretty sure other people would appreciate it too, I know I would :good:

The modem isn't COK3, only the bootloader was.
The modem was COJ3.

Yep, that's what I thought. And the coj3 is the modem I have now (not working so well ). As I said, Any chance you could extract the cok3 modem from the full firmware to add it to your list?
Thanks in any case mate!

I don't see a point in doing that, it won't make a difference. The firmware does not have a 'COK3' modem. So I can't extract it if it doesn't exist. The O2U firmware had a bootloader of COK3, CSC of COJ1 and modem of COJ3.
If the modem isn't working well then you should flash a stock firmware for your region and apply the appropriate CSC.

Oooooouuuch! Sorry mate, my bad, I must ve read it wrong and only seen what i wanted to see. I was convinced I saw that that firmware release came with modem too.
In any event, thanks mate as you saved me a lot of time wasting with that last attachment
