[JVH Install Help] Bell Canada

Here's what I did to get JVH (with 850mhz band) and CSC for Canada on my phone. It worked for me at least
Files:
SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar.md5 (8.38 MB)

JVH_KC1_BMC.zip (169.32 MB)

**************Disclaimer:***************
I'm not responsible if this bricks your phone, as "the boss" said if I break mine, she'll break me... or I get a $20 replacement phone
Backup your /efs folder, backup EVERYTHING, just in case... I'm paranoid so I did it all
ROM NOTES:
Got deodexed from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11256520&postcount=1
Modem:
KC1
Busybox:
1.18.4
Hosts file updated for ad blocking using:
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
Here's the steps I followed:
Save all files to folder/desktop
Connect phone via usb and copy JVH_KC1_BMC.zip to root of sdcard
Restart phone in download mode
Open Odin and click PDA
Select Speedmod tar file
Uncheck Auto-Reboot
Check F.Reset Time (I don't know what it does, but it's always checked)
Flash the tar.
Once complete and the box says "PASS" in green, unplug your phone and pull the battery (I was told it's safe, as it's in the MIUI instructions as well)
Put battery back in and start phone in recovery with VOL UP+HOME+POWER
In recovery choose to update from zip
Choose file from sdcard
Choose the JVH_KC1_BMC zip file and update
The phone will restart/install.
Once it's started up for the first time I recommend restarting in download mode and flashing the stock JVH kernal
You can also use any kernal you want.
Let me know if I can help at all. I was trying to make a completely odin flashable tar for this but failed miserably :9
I'll do my best to answer any questions however this is my first time making something to flash for you all
Note:
I'm not sure where to put this, sorry to mods/admins if it's in the wrong spot, please let me know

Hi,
I saw your thread, and I found it very interesting for people who own a Bell SGS 9000m Vibrant and wanna upgrate to Gingerbread.
So I decided to flash the Gingerbread JVH ROM just like you did, but I need to know a few things:
1. Will I be able to downgrade to my original stock froyo after this flash ?
2. Will I be able to update via Kies in case Bell release an official gingerbread update ?
3. Right now my phone is SIMUnlocked, will I lose my SIMunlockation after the flash ?
4. And is my actual configuration right to excecute this flash or should I flash something else before ?
My configuration is the following:
Baseband version
I9000UGJL2
Firmware
2.2
Kernel
2.6.32.9
[email protected] #3
Build number
FROYO.UGJL2
galaxy s vibrant bell
gt-i9000m
Thanks for your hard work, I hope to read back from you soon.

I have exact same configuration and exact same questions as poster above!!!

Still no answer... Guess we'll have to try if wanna know...

1. yes, it's possible
2. yes, but you would either need to downgrade first or do a kies hack
3. no
4. you can do it straight

Thanks zorxd.
I am going to try. So there is no need for me to select any Pit file or did the guy forget to mention it ? Also can we tick the repartition option in Odin?
Sorry if I ask usekess question I am used to flash android but new to the SGS flashing...

when you repartition you need a PIT file.
My advice is to not repartition unless you need it.

Too late... I did it got stuck into bootloop. I had an error when I tried to install the zip from the recovery (I had recovery 3e) : E : Short write of /tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) . However, I flashed the back eclair JHL and went back to the stock eclair rom. I am going to restart from there following your intructions. I now have recovery 2e ( Somehow I can't get ClockWorkMod Recovery to load directly; it always send me to recovery 2e and there I apply update.zip to go to CWM recovery)
Thanks for your help, I'll let you know if I manage to get it done.

Still get the error E:Short write of/tmp/sideload/package.zip (No space left on device) when try to install JVH_KC1_BMC.zip from the recovery 3e ( this recovery comes right after I flash SpeedmodK15E_withLoaders.tar ...
Don't know what else to try... Help please..

I did it a slightly different way. From 2.2, I flashed a stock 3 part gingerbread rom (phone, PDA, CSC) with bootloader update using ODIN 1.82. I then flashed CF root gingerbread kernel for CWM3 and then flashed the KC1 modem from clockwork recovery for the 850 band.

Could you please show me the exact files you used so I can try to do the same ?

Aren't there at least a couple threads on how to install jvh/jvp on an i9000? Its the exact same process as those you just have to flash the kc1 modem via cwm after you are done. It sounds like you guys are experimenting too much.

Our canadian phone is not really different from all the other ones, so you don't need a special "Bell Canada" installation.
If you want JVH, you can follow this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818556
You don't have to do everything like fugumod, etc. I would flash JVH via odin and then flash CF root kernel via odin so you get CWM3.
There's also leaked 2.3.4 JVP gingerbread out, if you feel inclined:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
There's a way to enable 850 band on the different gingerbread modems, but i never bothered, I just flashed the KC1 modem for Bell which has the band (via CWM3). Search for I9000UGKC1

Okay I am really starting to freak out now...
I am stuck in bootloop, I can't get out og it. I tried flash Back the Stock Bell Firmware but it keeps boot looping. Download mode is okay. But it started doing this I had a message like sd could not be mounted in recovery 3e. Now I can't even access recovery after I flash Eclair but Download mode is still okay...
Aby ideas ?

Have you tried flashing back the stock JL2 firmware from bell? (found on samfirmware.com)
I've never encountered this error before, I wonder if it is a problem with the bootloaders, as the official froyo firmware from bell had a secondary bootloader and gingerbread has its own bootloaders as well.

I imagine you'll need the stock bell firmware as said above and also the proper PIT file to go along with it.

Also if you repartitioned it when you tried to flash the whatever it was when you tried you will also have to repartition it when going back down to froyo.
2.2 and 2.3 use different bootloaders therefore if you try to mix and match rom's without the bootloaders and repartioning you will get a ****y phone.

Thanks for your help guys. I didn't solve it yet, but i will open a new thread to prevent this one from getting to messy.

Bootloop while flashing JW4

Hey, I tried flashing JW4 stock rom via ODIN which I downloaded from sammobile.
The name of the file is I9000XXJW4_I9000OXAJW4_XEU.zip and on extracting there were 2 files called JW4_JW4_JW4.tar & SS_DL.dll. I selected the tar file in PDA and flashed. The process passed but am stuck with bootloop. Plz help

I also flashed a jw4. But that was without the dll.
Anyway, after i flashed and it booted up i got a doozen errors telling me it couldnt mount different partitions.
So i gave it up as a bad one and found a thread here at xda with different stock roms and ended up with jw5.
No complications whatsoever. Yet
just google for "stock roms i9000 xda" and you should stumble over the thread i believe.
Good luck

I faced exactly the same problem: bootloop after flashing XXJW4 and many mount errors in the screen. I concluded that this firmware is not standalone in the sense that you cannot flash and repartition the device using it. Following this logic I performed these steps, leading me to a successfully recovered and fully functional XXJW4 phone:
Flash it with a full stock firmware, e.g. XXJVU (mark "repartition" as well).
Flash XXJW4 as you have done it, but make sure "Repartition" is not selected. That is, just select the tar file in the PDA field and leave the rest with the default options.

Another huge problem Got Black Screen Of Death. Am able to get my phone on to download mode but odin is not detecting my phone. HELP ME What to do?

Use another USB port. You can flash deodex version of JW4 which doesn't have any problems

bootloops
Factory Reset / Cache Wipe /
use by the Pitfile from JW 1 and flash the JW 4 ,that`s it !!
LG.G.

Your PDA file might be missing the dbdata.rfs file, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24182099&highlight=dbdata#post24182099, which can cause boot loops.

Want to back to stock recovery

I want to back to stock recovery for my i9505 (I9505XXUBMG5 ) Malaysia (XME). MY question is where can I download only a single file to flash back to the stock recovery because I don't want to download the whole big rom file, currently I using stock (rooted) with custom CWM recovery. Is all the stock recovery from different country same? Is there any site where I can only download my (XME I9505XXUBMG5 ) stock recovery?
Please advice.
Thanks.

This is the XME MG5 stock recovery, I've transferred the Hotfile link to a premium download link so it will download quicker, flash via Odin 3.04 as PDA

Thanks a lot :good: I still got lots to learn from here

Just flash the file given to earlier.. My recovery is still the custom CWM. Not change back to stock recovery.
Please help and advice.
Thanks.

How did you flash the Recovery?

I load the tar file I downloaded into odin at PDA then click start, after finish.. factory reset. I think I know what happen, the kernel downloaded got no recovery.img inside it. I guess I need that file to relace my CWM recovery.

Hey
You are only flashing a kernel...not a full 4.4.2 original image.
And that's why you're stock on the boot logo.

take the battery out wait 5-10 secs and enter to download mode to avoid modem issues.
its not recomendable but if you have a backup of a pit file for your phone select it and thick re-partition, this is dangerous but may help with bootloop only if flashing the firmware with no repartition work, repartition with out a pit file may brick your device.

Thank you for the reply
I will give it a try and let you know the results.

One more noob question..
I did a back up of my touchwiz before converting to CM.
And i got the back up file as normal file folder instead a zip file.
I wonder if there is a way to restore it.
I already tried zipping it and restoring from philz recovery...but it says bad file.

you´re welcome.
did you do the backup from philz recovery? i never did a backup from recovery, only with titanium, so i really dont know, but to restore a backup needs to be done from the same source that the backup was created. for the screen shots looks like a CWM recovery backup good luck.

Sorry to bother you again.
But i am facing a new kinda problem now with custom recoveries.
After flashing NEE-I9506XXUCNJ1-20141114075501 yesterday it got auto updated to 5.0.1 lollipop .
Now i am stuck with stock recovery.
Tried to flash philz 6.x.x.x as before with odin. The odin process completes itself and reboots the phone.
But when i try to get into recovery still its booting in stock recovery.
Any solution on how can i flash custom recovery on this ?
Additional info
Baseband version : I9506XXUDOA6
bUILD NUMBER : LRX22C. I9506XXUDOA6

Flash your Favorite Custom Recovery with Odin 3.xx and put it to AP. Check that Auto Reboot isn't marked. After successful flashing your Phone won't to reboot. USB Cable out and put your Battery out and wait few seconds. Put your Battery in and reboot it to Recovery. The Stock Recovery can't now overwrite the Custom Recovery.

Important after rooting flash immediately custom recovery, if you boot in stock recovery after root all apps will force close and you will need to wipe data (stock recovery wipe data will delete internal memory as well), so do not boot in stock recovery.

Hello @Leboboy19 ,
Can you try using Odin (newest version ) and flash the original stock rom that you had before messing around with custom rom. make sure to uncheck re-partition. you may have to flash the stock boot and stock recovery .img which you will find on shellbox firmwares.
If that does not work can you try flashing the twrp md5 for that device . let me know

Thanks for your message brother, you reminded me of the tab after giving up on it, after months of trying finally found a fix.
to anyone having this problem:
1. Download your latest stock
2. extract it and swap the recovery.img with a recovery.img from a combination file that matches your binary number
3. Enjoy Your Recovered Tablet or sell it like me:laugh:
