Since i went from stock GB to custom roms i've been struggling with sod's. I've been reading a lot of posts here on xda about possible solutions and causes...
I've been flashing a lot of custom roms/kernels/modems, and i was constantly looking out for all possible latest releases of all of them.
Lately i've been using CM9 rom. Flashed it folowing cyanogen's instructions. Since their rom doesn't come with any modem, i completely forgot about it and left the GB modem KK5 that came with stock rom (when i reverted back to stock with odin) as it was.
A bit after all was installed,and running well, i realised i was running a GB modem with an ICS rom, so i flashed the latest modem (LP6 i think).. that's when the good old sod's came back.
So i flashed the old GB kk5 modem back, without any problem, and now i'm running CM9 for like 4 days without any sod's...
So my question is... could it be that all those modems made for ics or even the late GB modems cause these sod's. And, is it even necesary to run an ics modem on ICS ? I'm no techie so i'm not realy aware about the differences between GB and ICS modems.. but for the time beeing it works fine for me this way...

Would be interesting if got a way to analyse causes of sod by looking at logfile

i currently have the DK17 froyo rom by someone developer and i havent come on xda for a while. Now I see that DK28 is out. Should I even bother updating? What are the differences?
Its newer and more stable was released november 28 hence dk(code for november) and 28(day of release) also dk28 was leaked by sprint. So I suggest switching over ur gonna need to flash the modem through odin tho. Research.

I don't think the question is should you update, but if it is worth the hassle. Official seems any day now..... Im on dk17 and waiting. I know if I do it now the official rom will be out the next day.

So do it so we get stable froyo =P
DK28 is a tad snappier and more stable compared to DK17. Its still buggy though. GPS is hit and and miss (dead for some people), and screen rotation is still laggy.
I recommend:
1. Backing up your apps with Titanium.
2. Odin back to stock DI18.
3. Get a GPS Lock.
3. Install DK28 Update.zip
4. One Click Root
5. Restore apps
6. Flash a custom ROM (I recommend Nebula, Bonsai, or Viper)
If you do this you should have at least a somewhat functional GPS.
This setup is stable enough for me to use on a daily basis without major issues.
whats the better rom out there?
What modems have provided good results?
What kernels have provided the best battery life?
I love miui rom and glitch kernel!

hows battery with that combo
powerwashed ed05, pbj voodoo kernal, ec09 radio. Battery life avg. 2% per hr and very functional... Powerwashed gingerbread would be my next choice, but it still has the stock kernal. Shouldnt be long before a voodoo kernal becomes available for it.

thanks. looks good. i need to learn the samsung way again.
Just got a fassy off Ebay. I'm excited to be back. Can't wait to get MIUI and glitch kernel back up and running. Anybody wanna buy my MIUI'd DX?

Heres the Breakdown
AOSP roms
CM7 lots of customization/less speed
OMFGB middle ground
Vanilla GB fast / less customization
Pool Party = fast/sbrissens mods ftw
Kernels
JT's always up to date (he's the cm maintainer)
Glitch (head dev is sick so it is taking a little for them to catch up with new commits
+1 for miui and glitch. Right now, however, i'm using jt's 9/12 kernel because flashlight and light sensors are both working. Once the glitch kernel merges in these fixes I'll be back to running it.

Tried reading up on modems but got a little confused. The captivate used to allow direct modem flash through cwm or built directly into rom. Are there any specifics to worry about with modem flashing using odin?
I love CM7 With Glitch kernel v12.
But im currently trying out OMFGB while we wait for a new cm7 nightly.
as far as modems i dunno ive never had to change one
I guess my question about the modem is, when changing is there a progression change that needs to be done, or can I just choose one and flash via odin? When I had my captivate, the modems were built into the roms, so there was no reason for modem flashing.

chose one and flash via odin. Although most roms for the fassy have a modem included... but give the ec09 or ed05 a try... the ec09 has been the best for me. I have tried every modem from dl09, ec01,ed01,ed03,ed04,ed05, and ec09.
ok so the modems do flash along with the rom the way the captivates do. thanks for the info.
EDO5 works perfect for me.

No not really. Usually the fully packed "ED05" or "EC09" (or any of those other older ones like that) roms do include the modem. But the cooked roms usually don't include the modem (I believe). Most definitely not CM7 or MIUI - those keep whatever modem you had before.
In which case, choose a modem (usually people are going between EC09 or ED05) and flash in Odin. It's super simple.

Yeah, thanks I understand. I didnt mean that they always come prepacked with a modem, but the ability to directly flash a modem built into a rom is there. My incredible required modems to be flashed through the bootloader on a more dangerous hardware level. I had the captivate and completely understand the methods, I just needed re-education in the samsung world. Thanks for the response.
Couldn't be happier with my decision and am currently running pwgb v.3. All it needs now is a voodoo kernel. What modem do you guys find works the best? I am currently running the ec09.
After bouncing around on just about all options, pw and ec09 turned out best for me in stability, function and battery with solid performance as well.
Would like a little voodoo though.

Dummy me, I was trying to root the KG3 (2.3.3) firmware and made a mistake and messed up my phone. Now it just hangs on the startup animation. I can still get into download mode, so my question is, how do I get it back up and running.
Directions with Odin (I presume) and a stock Bell KG3 firmware????
Any help would be appreciated.
Instructions and firmware are here

Found that just a few minutes ago, thanks. Phone is now up and running, albeit, I'm gonna need to remove some apps as they're FC'ing. Luckily I have a backup (not that recent, but it'll do) of my contacts.
Since I'm here, I wonder if I shouldn't just throw the latest and greatest on it. Hints???
You know your phone is pretty much an I9000 with an m on the end. If you want to use the latest JVU then go for it. It's as simple as using only the jvu pda file and using the 2.3.3 ugkg3 phone and csc files... Flash same way in odin. Then flash chainfire to get root.

Thanks, I appreciate the guidance.
I managed to load JVZ on the phone successfully and have rooted it with the corresponding Semaphore.

I have the same phone. The build date was july 2011 as the screen on my first one (build date july 10) cracked completely.
With both phones, i've been doing custom roms on it since i received it back from bell in january 2011 (due to the froyo upgrade issue).
I would definitely suggest Team icssgs (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.03). Been running it now for 5 days and really really enjoying the phone more. But that's me .. i was using DarkyROM JVU previously and had freezes when i tried to use the video camera, and trying to view my contacts.
Good luck in your decision...

Can you direct me to the list of steps to get this on my phone????
I'm from the UK and have the UK version of the Note. It seems that pretty much everywhere else on the planet are getting firmware updates and we are not. Since the release of the Note, I've read of other countries getting updates yet there has only been one here since release. I'm currently KK5 (or it could be KKA, not sure which number)
I'm just wondering why others get updates as we don't.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
different countries always get differne updates, every company works that way with regards to android updates
You have the latest update for our country if you're on kka if u feel like ur missing out you could always grab a stock rom and flash that.. latest is LA6 or try out one of the custom roms available

Time to bite the bullet! I was wondering when we'd get an official update too, as I didn't want to go down the same road as I did with the HD2 and flash a new rom every other day trying to find a good one. So I rooted the stock rom (same as yours), flashed the Samsung LA6 rom over it, then flashed the Abyss kernal. Much better now! Probably won't flash a new rom now until ICS is officially out.

I'm with you on that.
I have the abyss kernel with KKA. Do you find much improvement with LA6? I have read about a few issues.
Hello All,
Here's my 2 cents on SODs and killing of it (even if only temporary)
I am currently on @Anti's Asylum ROM. Previous to that, I was on CM9 ver 7.
Had been plagues by SODs and had almost given up and was about to flash Samsung Stock ROM.
I was on Stunner previous to CM9. Once I was on CM9 and loving it, I came across this nasty looking creature called SOD for the first time in my life.
Threads suggested I should flash GB ROM back and do a clean install. @AndroidIndian was kind enough to walk me through all the steps and I did everything I had to. Then flashed CM9 back. Guess what, those SODDIN SODs were still there.
So, apologetically, I posted that I had to betray my brethren here and go back to Samsung Stock.
Then, @Tremorone PMed me to try @Anti's asylum, built on CM9 code. He said since I was trying to hold on to an AOSP thing, I should try it at leas once. In one last ditch effort, I did the right thing - flashed Asylum ROM over the CM9 ver 7.
Now, the interesting bit:
Initially, I was on XXLPT Modem (the latest one). Overnight, there was no SOD and I was a happy bunny. Next morning I got a long call (about 20 mins). Once the call was over, SOD !!!! Figured it HAD to be a modem.
So, I did the following:
1) I flashed LP5 Modem through Mobile Odin. SODs were less but the lockscreen froze up once.
2) Being the impatient prick that I am, after a while I flashed LB2 Modem via CWM Recovery.
SODs has drastically gone down on that. No SODs in the last 7 hours as a matter of fact.
I don't know if it's the ROM, LB2 via CWM or the combination of Steps 1 and 2 above, but seems like it has more or less solved the problem. Of course, it is still early days and I need to observe for a couple days more.
To everyone suffering at the hands of the SOD demon, I would suggest why not try Step 1, let the ROM settle, and then proceed with Step 2 (as above).
There's no harm in trying, right? And if it solves it, nothing more beautiful than it. Then you can go CM flash happy as soon as new builds start being avaialble.
Thanks to @Abhisahara for helping me keep the faith.
All the best SODding off the SOD.
Cheers.
Well, I think I'm a lucky guy. I had never one SOD since I own a note. I have nearly the same flashing history like you. Flashed also many modems . I can't imagine why the devices are so different. The same thing I noticed with my old HD2. I hope you will find the reason/way to solve this f******* SOD issue

I'm the same after flashing cm9 I had one screen of death on the lb2 modem.. I flashed lp6 just because.. After that I used cm9 for a week with not one sod before flashing ics official

My SODs stopped after I flashed .19 Stunner with LP5 kernel and LP6 modem. I haven't had one since then (**knock on wood**). I am on stock ICS now with the new modem, not CF-root kernel though. Strange how variables are always so different though.
Hmm,
I've flashed several modems since being plagued by the SODs. I'm on CM9 nightlies and am using LP6 from LB2. The SODs have gone down with the newer modem since I was getting 5 or 6 a day! But, I still get at least one or two a day now. I'll try with the latest LPT or LR1 and see if these make any improvements.
They are a bit of a mystery though since there never seems to be any consistency to what is actually causing the sleeps.
I always flashed modems through Mobile Odin and flashed every single modem available for note, but still had SODs.
So I wiped everything and reinstalled the ROM and did not restore data and I did not have SOD.
I have data backed up on Google, it restored my apps (through play store), contacts and wifi access points, so I was kind of OK, since I did not lose out much. But thats just me!
I tried LB2 ,LA4 ,LPY Modems ,and had one SOD in two weeks time while on CM9 build#3 and LA4 modem.
LB2 modem iks very good and I'm using it right now with the latest nightly with no SODs what so ever.
I've flashed modems using CWM and still get the SODs. I'm beginning to think these are not directly related to the modem. I did a clean install of GB from Imilka's CM9 (Chinese leak) then Chainfire's rooted kernal and then on to the CM9 nightly. I didn't copy any system data but I did use TB to resinstall my apps (against advice I know). I had no SODs on Imilka's rom but they appeared following install of CM9 nightly.
I guess I'll try a clean install again but I hate having reconfig my phone everytime since I change so many things via Apex, Minimalistic Text and Folder Organiser apps.
I'm hoping though that we'll get to a nice update on CM9 that will resolve the problem eventually.
I think SOD is WIFI related (not just modem). Since upgrading to ICS, different ROMs, I had many of them on all ROMs and modems, until I set my WIFI to never sleep and disabled any battery saver trying to make it sleep when screen off. That solved it for me. Then started testing battery savers, most of them brought SOD again, until I tried battery defender, which seem to work without SODs.
Had lots of SODs in the past on CM9, none for 3 days since I installed nightly 20120515 and LPT modem. Fingers crossed
