Problems Stock OEM EH03 modem - Fascinate General

My dad got GB - EH03 pushed OTA to him, and he's getting missed calls. I'm running CM7 so I have no idea what's going on in OEM world.
I've searched and searched but came up empty - is there any known problems with the EH03 modem missing calls? (ie. says missed call, but phone never rang).
EDIT:
Even though he has the stock verizon ****, I can use Odin and flash the EC09 modem on there, right? I mean, as far as I understand EC09 it's running fine...

Alot of folks have been having troubles with ota eh03. My advice would be to odin the stock eh03. You can find it in my guide or the dev section under "Full eh03 tar"...seems to have alot less issues... and yes you can flash the ec09 modem in odin aswell. I like it better than eh03, because eh03 is always stuck in 1x...that could be part of the reason you dad fascinate is missing calls.

Yeaaaaa, that's not an option for him. I can't even try to quantify the number of hours he spends nit picking at his phone making sure everything is exactly where he wants it to be.. Reformatting isn't an option :-\. Re-flashing EH03 without a factory reset probably won't work well.
So I'm pretty limited to flashing modems, I guess... Blah...
I guess I'll put on EC09..

No in the post it has the modem only. no need to flash the whole rom.

Which modem are you talking about? EH03 or EC09? I figure EC09 has been pretty sexy solid, so I should flash that on his instead of the EH03 that he has on there now.

Yes, ec09 seems to be a better modem, that's the one he's talking about. I do use EH03 though with no problems. Even get calls in my garage which i never did before. you can flash modems without losing data. If you're worried though, download titanium backup and do a full back-up. Another option is to simply flash clockwork temporarily so you can do a nandroid just in case.

What is the Baseband?

I've run all three of DI01, DJ05, and DL09, and today I decided to go back to DI01. I noticed, though, that my baseband version has v.DL09 tacked on to the end, while build version says DI01 like it should. What is the Baseband, and should I be concerned that it's DL09 when I'm running DI01?
Does everything still work? I noticed that on my wife's phone and realized that sms, mms, didnt work along with freezing. She was going from di01 to dl09. We had a bad download for the rom I think. It was only 120 mb instea dc of 154 mb. Hsd to odin again with dj05 and pit file, and reroot I believe. Good luck.

Baseband is the radio or modem version depending upon what thread you read. The radio/modem file is flashed via odin. And mismatched radio/modem and rom will lead to things not working. You need to find the matching radio/modem for the particular rom you are running.
good day.
if you're gonna be on DI01 you need to have matching modem. same goes for EVERY rom. Modem has to batch build version. if it doesn't, you're asking for stupid things to happen.
Okay, then. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the DI01 radio? I searched for a while and the only thing I found was this, and I get a status 7 error from clockwork when I try to flash that modem_update.zip.
Brah that would explain whats wrong. YOU CAN'T FLASH A MODEM FILE WITH CWM. You need to flash the modem file with odin.
These are instructions on flashing a modem file HERE step 6 and on is for a rom.
your best bet would be to just flash a dj05 rom. If you can't find the di01 modem.
good day.
D'oh. And I knew that too, from flashing DJ05 and DL09.
However, I'm still stuck without a DI01 modem, because the thread I linked to does *not* provide modem file like I thought. It *is* a CWM update zip; for what, I'm not sure. So again, I have to ask, do you know where I can find a DI01 modem?
Thanks for the help.
Adrynalyn has a return to completly stock thread, its in the development section.

I'd really rather not return to complete stock when all I need is the modem. Is it possible to extract it from the stock odin tar file found here?
Check in IRC, someone there will have it... If they are in a good mood
Thanks. For now I've just done a restore back to the DL09 set up I was running to get me through tonight and work in the morning. I'll ask around in IRC tomorrow. Thanks for the help, guys.

Modem.BIN

OOPS! I messed up in odin when flashing my first rom, with my new $200 phone my dad bought me two days ago. As you can imagine I am extremely sad, and I need some help. Anyways, I think I did something in Odin that messed up my modem.bin, which explains why i have a circle with a line throught it on my notification bar where the signal status would usually be. So, I thought, the DJ05 update has modem.tar, and I flashed that with Odin, but I still have that same circle with a line through it. Plz Help
Flash in PDA. Not phone.
Good luck.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
yes, if you are lucky PDA will work... Try it and if it doesn't work, there are other things you can do.
But if you're not going to read and respond to this thread. I'm just wasting my time typing this out for you.
Been doing
Thats what I've been doing, I flashed it in PDA before flashing the rest of DJ05. I have read, and Im not just posting this without looking.

Edit:
Do I need a PIT file to flash the modem, because I haven't been using one.
No, you don't need a PIT file with the modem. What did you flash initially that started this problem? There may not be anything you can do.
Sign up for the extra insurance. Step on your phone, pay the $80 deductible and get a new phone. Cancel insurance.
Well, I rooted it, installed clockwork mod, and then the SuperClean Rom. Then I decided to go back to my Nandroid backup, but that was unsuccesful so I went to do something in Odin (I think I was trying to restore to DJ05 again). Please tell me all of my options. Im already extremely upset, and the phone was bought off Ebay N.I.B so there is no option of that insurance.
Do you know exactly what it was that you flashed via Odin and how you did it? Was it something in this forum, another forum? Was it something for the Telus Fascinate? Did you use the phone button or pda button when flashing?
To be honest, I really cant remember what I was flashing, I as probabley trying to re-install DI01. It wasn't anything from Telus or the Vibrant, it was specifically for Verizon. And I always did it in PDA. Except today I flashed the DJ05 modem.tar using phone. Hope thats not bad.

That would be the problem, and there isn't a fix as far as I'm aware.
Ok, well even without that, my point is I did this about an hour ago. And even before every flashing in phone I had this problem. I am so upset.
Please post in the relevant forum next time.
Thank you.

My apologies. Any Updates?
If you flashed via the Phone button at any point, your phone is no longer usable or fixable unless someone has found a fix that I haven't seen yet. Whether the problem started before you used the phone button or not, using the phone button pretty much guaranteed there is no way to fix it.
Im a NOOB so I might not be right, but here is my argument. There have been people with the same prob. that pressed the phone button before. Theyre solution has been to flash a new modem.bin. I just want to know WHY after having the same problem as other people, and taking the same solution my phone still doesnt work. I don't know, maybe im just not willing to take a broken phone as an answer.... but...

As far as I know, no one has recovered their phone after flashing the modem via the Phone button. Any links to support that?

Right now Im going to Odin restore DI01 stock to my Fascinate and then try and OTA update via Wi-Fi if that is possible.
You can't update OTA via wifi... That contradicts itself. And if you are flashing to stock DI01, what are you hoping to update to? DL09 isn't available yet.
Have you tried flashing the all in one di01 by adrynalyne? That may be you only option.
Also, samsung gives a warranty, you might be able to take it to vzw in worst case scenario.

Welk as I read on x.d.a today dl09 was officially released for download by ota. Im 90% sure

Messed up my text

Okay so heres what happend i knew to get the dl30 rom leak i needed to be at least on a djo5 baseband i was on the di101 so before i followed the instructions to get my phone on the dl30 i flashed djo5 and the kernel and then proceeded to flash dl30. Now the rom works great and the only issue i found is when i text the recipient gets a blank text and i can only receive text from Verizon phones. Even though i got djo5 on my phone before i flashed dl30m my current baseband in di101 so i think i made a boo boo in the process i can make receive calls its just my text not working properly. any help any at all would be greatly appreciated.
you try a wipe yet? also dial *228 and opp 1 see if that helps
if i do a wipe will i mess up or brick the phone or undo the dl30 leak?
no way you should have done a wipe before instailling the new rom...the market is down and i thought it was the new leak so i wiped like 3 times...and im on the superclean ver. ull be fine wipe data and cash
yea i wiped three times and factory reset three times not in that order i just wanted to make sure wiping wouldn't destroy the work i just did...i will try in and let u know what happens thank u so much
okay so i wiped and still cant text right any other ideas is there a way to flash the djo5 baseband to my dl30 phone
wait what are you running now? u could always odin back to stock and start over again maybe do the dl09 one? it takes about an hour if you know whats ur doing. im not sure if you could just odin it right now while on dl30
i was running djo5 but after i flashed dl30 and wiped all that good stuff..it now shows baseband di101
seems like u never flashed ur modem via odin...or maybe u did and some how its back to dl01 whatever the case u prob have to go all the way back to stock and start over again. gotta makes sure thats dj05 or 09 before going to froyo. did u use a vodoo kernel before u flashed to 2.2
nooo i am too noob to mess with voodoo i came from a d1 the easy day where i could be flash happy i have been tip toeing with this phone
im sorry i dont have a clear answer have u used odin at all to goto dl05 09?
no i flashed it i am not to familiar with odin
It should be as simple as flashing the DJ05 or DL09 modem file through odin (sounds to me like you didn't do that or the radio didn't stick for some odd reason) make sure to use the pda slot and NOT the phone one! You can find the modem's in these topics (would've linked the modems themselves but post count isn't high enough)
DL09: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894126

Edit: I saw you said your not familiar with odin. Grab odin from here (if you dont have it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788099
(second link) then pull the battery and plug the usb cable into the fascinate whilst holding volume down. This'll put the phone into download mode. From there put the radio file into the PDA slot and click start. That should solve your problem
im gunna try this thank u so much
worked like a charm i love the phone now thanks so much for your help

[Q] Fascinate stuck on SAMSUNG logo, no idea what to do

So I was never into rooting phones I never really cared that much and my friend said it was really awesome so he rooted my phone then never told me anything to do with it so I seriously didn't change a single thing. I also guess he didn't mention you can't reset factory settings which is what I did and it is stuck on the samsung logo. I searched for this and read the "flash odin" that means zero to me. I absolutely have no idea what any of that is, can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!
Alas, I don't have any links to give you, but hopefully I can clarify what you need to do.
Odin is simply a program that is used for flashing software to your phone. All you do is download said program, as well as a recovery file and a PIT file (which is what is used to repartition the phone's internal memory). Your safest bet is to download the DL09 package, which will get you back to the stock android 2.1 that your phone came with. From there you can run your phone's system update to upgrade to the current version. There are instructions on how to flash through Odin, so I won't go into that. What you'll want to look for, though, is a full odin package, which means that it includes EVERYTHING, and you won't have to flash the system, radio, modem, etc. separately.
Hopefully that clears things up a bit. I was in the same boat as you recently.
EDIT: The most important thing to do is relax. I know it's scary to get such a bad error on your first crack into rooting, but Odin makes it REALLY hard to brick this phone. It's a little intimidating at first, but once you start flashing through Odin, no android issue will phase you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1026746 This is the thread I used when I screwed up my Fascinate. May it serve you well.
Ok, you will definitely be able to get out of this situation. Try this link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cZAF3hzDIHSMEkf0QcFs2cLLrF5PmOUEXcM268FoIzk/edit?hl=en&authkey=CKqWypcP for some basic info. Look through these forums/internet and download ODIN (any version should do). Find a link to the DL09, ED01, or ED04 odin files for the full rom and a link for the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Make sure the samsung usb drivers are installed on your PC for your phone. Pull the battery. Open up ODIN. plug in the usb to your computer and phone. Hold down the "volume down" button until a yellow android comes up for your phone that says "downloading". At this point ODIN should turn yellow in the first box. Click "Pit" and select the atlas_v2.2.pit file. Click PDA!!! and select the rom that you downloaded. Hit "Start" and wait about 5 minutes until ODIN turns green and tells you "success". Disconnect the USB. Put battery back in. Boot up and hopefully you should have a stock phone back. All of your settings will be gone and you may have to OTA upgrade to the latest ROM through verizon, but all your data on the SD card will still be there. Good luck!

I would recommend against the ED01. That's a leaked ROM, and if you ever need to send your phone in for Warranty, they'll know you were up to no good. DL09 and OTA update is usually the safest bet.

EB01 was the leaked Froyo ROM. ED01 was the first official Froyo build released from verizon/samsung. Since then there has been official upgrade builds of ED03 and ED04. The newest, ED05 is a leak. So no problem flashing ED01. I personally prefer to flash DL09 then let the phone OTA to ED04.

[fixed] NC1 - Bluetooth won't start, logcat provided, phone calling issue too

I've never been good at pulling and producing logcats, and I'm using some Logcat Extreme app I found on the Play Store, so I'm not sure if this is going to help at all.... here's the background on the subject:
I just went from NB1 to NC1 by doing a full Odin of stock NB1, then flashing the NC1 update file, then got root and recovery from these steps here, all went very smoothly. The reason I did this was to fix a problem I've been having with placing and receiving calls - for some reason, my phone will make a call one minute and then not make one the next, usually connecting to whoever it is I'm calling, but no audio is produced at all. I use Bluetooth in the car, but that isn't the issue, it happened regardless of where I was.
So, I figured something was screwed up in the ROM, and since I don't have the time to reinstall everything even with using Titanium Backup as help, I got NC1 on the phone and then restored my data using Safestrap recovery from NB1 - while I'm very aware that I most likely brought my problem with me, I do believe that restoring data from TiBU would likely do the same thing, and I hate to be so busy right now that I can't even get my phone working by starting clean and then adding back everything one by one in order to ensure working condition, I just have to fix the problem on the back end of this right now....
So now that my phone is on NC1, calls are working okay right now (that may change) but the Bluetooth module will not come on at all. I turn it on, it turns it right off. I can't figure it out and don't even want to pretend I know what I'm doing with reading logcats, so I've attached it below. It contains a filtered logcat using the term "Bluetooth" as a filter. If someone can point me in the right direction, that would be great and I really appreciate it!
EDIT - I have wiped the ROM and installed everything from TiBU, everything works as normal now, just wish I didn't have to set my phone all back up from scratch again, I like using the restore data function of recovery, while not foolproof, it works great to quickly change ROMs and put all the data back on the phone as before
What baseband do you have or did you flash a modem?

I did flash a modem, previous to getting NC1, I flashed the NC1 baseband.
Sounds like either something got restored from System data incorrectly or a hardware issue. The only way to confirm is the flash back to oute stock and see if it all works correctly. Then do not restore data from previous ROM and see if it works. Then use Tibu and restore one app at a time and check if it is/is not working.
Also the flash able modems do not contain the non-hlos.bin, so possibly if you have the NC1 or NB1 non-hlos.bin installed from flashing the stock rom, then flashing the modem that ONLY contains the modem.bin it may be a conflict? I do not recall that issue happening on previous firmwares that HAD TO use the matching modem.bin and non-hlos.bin but maybe Sammy did something in the newest releases?
I have used ALL the modems in my thread with no issues. But I am STILL on MDB boot loader, never flashed a non-hlos.bin, and ONLY flashed the modem.bin. I have not had ANY issues at all on any like you describe.
Sent fron I337 Red BadAss Themed ShoStock 7.0
I also have yet to flash non-hlos.bin with any modem.... only modem.bin. I used odin pc 3.07, uncheck the auto reboot, flash the modem, reboot back to download mode, flash the modem again and it has always been good to go.
If it was me, I would download the moden again, check the md5 to ensure the download is good and flash it twice... if that doesn't work.. I would go back to stock..... typically, if I flash a rom, I skip trying to restore anything.... I just let the apps redownload...
Downloaded again, checked MD5, flashed three times (I'm not flashing through Odin, just using the ones RR provided through Safestrap), and still no Bluetooth....
Sounding more and more like I'm going to have to start from scratch instead of dealing with it here, and if I have to do this now and get a new phone in the next few months (come ON Sammy, hurry up with the S5 Prime / Galaxy F / Galaxy Alpha already!), I'm gonna be pissed!
