I9000UGJK3 modem from Bell i9000m froyo release

Link to the modem.bin (flash with odin in phone slot):
http://www.multiupload.com/GP746J649D
Baseband version: I9000UGJK3
Original thread for the leaked firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845558
Just flashed it onto my captivate and 850 band is working and everything seems alright so far but I can't go driving around to make sure it stays working good when it switches towers. I know some people have been waiting for the bell froyo leak so I thought I'd post this. Been using it for about an hour and battery hasn't drained a bit from what it was on when I flashed it. Seems better then JPP already
Also, I was already on an i9000 rom with JPP modem and had 850band enabled already so I'm not sure if this modem has it enabled by default or not but I think it does.

will it work fine in 1900 areas?

the mhz basebands the i9000M Bell uses... is the EXACT same thing as ATT's.. so all radio functions should work

so far so good.

850 confirmed and working

Has anybody tried this on a non i9000 kernal? I'm running cog

99% chance it wont work but if you want to be a Guinea pig by all means
Don't forget to check for voice + data
The reason is I'm pretty sure Bell uses i9000

On Cog or on an i9000 rom?
I tested it by calling a few people on Doc's i9000 rom and everyone said I sounded good and clear.

On cog and his default kernal. O well, phone calls are annoying anyway

I guess for the minimal effort it took to try that configuration, it was worth trying. But it is well known that using a Captivate ROM/kernel (which Cog is based on) with an I9000 modem results in unusable, echoey, staticky unusable voice.

Just because it's CM, don't forget your basic kernel/rom issues among different devices.
What I mean is, as always, i897 kernels only work well for voice AND data with i897 modems.

There's i9000 kernels that work flawlessly on the Captivate.

The reorientated kernel and Setiron's kernel are both i9000 based. So those two kernels will work.

[KERNEL] stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Captivate

Hi
You know maybe already some of my work even if this is my first post in the captivate forums.
Let me introduce you the stock+Voodoo stable kernels.
Those are built injecting Voodoo lagfix inside an original Samsung kernel built specifically for Captivate.
It comes with extensions like "su" and also ClockWorkMod recovery as default recovery.
Voodoo lagfix converts /system, /cache, /dbdata and /data to Ext4 with optimized parameters for speed but also guaranteeing data integrity.
Also, it configures the write behavior of Linux to prevent lag from happening, plus apply some memory management providing a better balance than stock settings.
Designgears help a lot during the development of this new stable release, testing endlessly new experimental code I was writing Thanks!
What it's not: voodoo sound, voodoo sharpness. Those improvements needs kernels built from sources.
Froyo only versions for now, I'll build Eclair version later.
update.zip you can flash with ClockWorkMod recovery (not 2e or 3e)
UCJJ4+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...k+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCJJ4-unsigned-update.zip
UCKB1+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+...k+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCKB1-unsigned-update.zip
.tar you can flash with Odin
UCJJ4+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCJJ4.tar
UCKB1+Voodoo http://dl.project-voodoo.org/stock+Voodoo/tarballs/stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCKB1.tar
Thanks to slm4996 who was the first to test this kernels

Nice work! Testing now. Does this include the sound and color fixes?

Well, this is a Captivate modem, designed to work with Captivate more than Frankenstein phones
I did the same for Vibrant kernels if you prefer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
The main target for these kernel are users using "standard" ROM, as most user do, with a kernel they can trust.

Guys, decide
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

let me se if i get it this is to be used with stock ROMS only? or i can be used with custom roms like perception, cognition & axura??

Cog and Auxura would probably be ok. I haven't tried it yet though. The "stock" he is referring to, I think, is Captivate based Froyo Roms (ji6, jj4).

do it work with JPU roms like Darky 5.2?

Does not work in axura
is not working with axura 2.2 i have no audio in phone call i can't heard nothing
just in case it matters i have JL3 modem with axura 2.2 any suggestions?
i used the odin version and flash it in pda section of odin is that the correct way to do it?

That is the correct way to flash the kernel. Have you tried reflashing the modem?

im just trying same kernel but for vibrant in my cappy with axura i let you kn ow if it worked!
it worked BUT the volume buttons at least in CWM are inverted up=down down=up power button working fine for ok

no i only need where to change the soft buttons to match the cappy ones i have them inverted back=home home=back vol up=down down=up and had to turn off the autorotation any suggestions?

[Q] porting roms or just using the roms.

I was wondering if its possible to use a rom from say EF02 and flashing it over top of the framework of the newest leak. Ive noticed that people have been using kernals from eg22 and things like that, Is that only because the kernal is external from the actual file system partition? Even eg22 themes seem to work on the new leak. Im using Srf1.2 with the new modem and its great, but there are still things i really miss about gingerbread. I was snoopinng around the Acs Bombozile rom postings on the ACS forums and people were talking like they had flashed than rom over the newer frame work and not just the modem.

i doubt you could just use the framework from one rom and the rest from another without heavily edited code, if you want gingabread just flash the lastest leak, eh06 is pretty stable.

help for someone trying to understand developers stuff

Soo yes I have searched but i'm a bit confused still about keywords, maybe pc analogy help?
rom is like an os version of a pc
theme is just how your menus look
kernel?
modem?
any must read guide to learn all of this terminology?
why would i want eh17, which i have on, over ec05?
thanks for the help

kernels are your kernels and drivers, as usual, and modem would be like your wifi files and the files that would run a mobile broadband unit, i guess

Say ROM is more like the BIOS and kernel like the OS but like a PC they have to work together. Modem is the software that drives the hardware radios. So like maybe network software driving a router? Or the software that controls the physical modem on your PC.

OS is what you see and experience. The kernel is what runs the OS. Modem powers data.

wow
wow thanks everyone for the replies i'm really getting to understand this stuff better, so .. whats eh17 a modem?
and some roms come with a kernel and some dont?
also I'm asking so many questions to thank the great developers

Most roms come with a kernel, unless it says so, otherwise it wouldn't boot. If it doesn't, it says to flash a kernel after. Eh17 is a ROM, but includes a new modem and kernel. Samsung roms (typically) have new modems and kernels in their updated roms.

EH17 is basically a build number in a date code. It is also the label of the modem that comes with that build. E is for 2011, H is translated into a number for the month which is 8 for August and 17 is the day.

let me explain too
Samsung latest leak is EH17 (which prepackages both EH17 Rom + EH17 Modem)
but if you would like too, you can use Eh17 Rom with older Modems like EH06, EC05 EG22, etc...
or you can use older Roms EH06, EC05 EG22 etc.... with different Modems including the latest EH17 Modem
The reason behind this mix and match, some roms may react differently to certain modems.. like some people say that when they use EC05 modem with whatever rom they have they get better signal or better battery life or maybe even to improve the GPS reception?
but the best advice is to follow what the the developer of the rom says... like for example, when Decad3nce recommend using the EH17 modem with his CM7 Rom (which is based on EH17 Rom btw)... you should do so.
I hope this answer was helpful to you and others maybe

Modem testing methods

So what's your methods to test which modems suits your country best?
I cant find any good ones for Sweden so i have to some sparetime and test my way out, but which app should i use for it?

1. network coverage
2. download and upload speed
In my opinion JVU is the best modem ever.

Any ideas what to choose between 900mhz or 1900mhz modems when you are living in a sparsely populated city? I mean, there are more forest here then people and buildings

Hello, does anybody know, if xxjvt is okay? i have installed it on my i9000 with ICS 3.7 with semaphore kernel 1.2.0.s
thx!
