[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongski55:
Sorry for this-I am just new to GT/Android.

In using phones as long as you have the correct frequency you can always use your phone anywhere in the world,using the sim card for that particular place. No need to hack or flash the modem.

The Galaxy tab is supposed to be also a phone. Why do I have to flash the modem? Is there no universal type of modem for android?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lardman:
I assume that there is different firmware at least for the CDMA and GSM versions, and that on top of that there are incremental updates to the modem firmware.

If anyone else has any more/other info I'd also be interested to hear it.

E.g. Is the modem firmware provider dependent too?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rangercaptain:
The modem is a binary file to operate the radio, and with each rom upgrade, there is a modem tweak too.

The samsung galaxy s line of tabs and phones have a few radios in common, for example the vibrant, i9000, and tab use the same radio chipset.

US t-mobile tabs should:

get 2g+voice using a vibrant modem, and the stock radio for 3g data only, and you have to install the modem switch software by Rotohammer.

North American at&t tabs should:

get voice and 3g data using the JK3 modem from the i9000.

These guidelines assume you use a compatible sim, at&t sim in at&t tab, t-mo or simple mobile sim in t-mo tab.

Thanks so much. Was waiting for a new kernel, this works on any froyo rom right?? And do I need to dl that wipe thing you posted to flash this???

Sent from my T959D on Bionix..
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
This is only for telus fascinate, not verizon one. And this is not for froyo rom, it's for cm7 rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] DaveJeep:
I asked din the other tread but got no answer. I see the same thing posted here.

Thx, ill take care of it when ill be at home
[Fascinate Android Development] Doc_rockulus:
I get status 7 message when flashing CM7. Is it because I'm EXT4?
[Fascinate Android Development] DaveJeep:
I'm getting the same message. Status 7 assert failed, I tried it multiple times. I used to run voodoo kernel but i disabled the lagfix. I reflashed Froyo JL3 a couple times trying different things but nothing worked. Still the Status 7 message when trying to flash CM7
[Fascinate Android Development] 08cherd4:
Battery Drain

Does this kernel still have battery drain issues?
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
For people with status 7 error, did you flash the initial kernel first? If you didn't , try to flash it first. If you dont have access to recovery with 3 button combo, i'll post my way to flash it by the night. Yes battery drain bug is still here, but it's getting more and more like normal GB firmware.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Thanks to Glitch for the kernel and thanks to you for the new thread for telus fascinate. I already compiled Glitch kernel for just personal usage, but now i dont have to worry about that :D Thank you

Since today, I'm not gonna compile a new build for telus fascinate due to personal events ( studying, working, enjoying my life, girl friend, etc..) But I'm gonna still write a comment for this kernel and visit this thread.

Thanks again and Ill give you a feedback about this kernel :)
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
hehe, i know how it's hard to have a life xD thanks to have compiled zach kernel for us while you were able ^^. I'll keep this thread updated as TK update his own and gives us a compiled kernel ( Turn out I ain't able to compile it myself xD)
[Fascinate Android Development] joethc:
Thanks again TKGLITCH!
[Fascinate Android Development] :
i hope oneday Glitch compile MIUI version for us.
[Fascinate Android Development] DaveJeep:
I followed the instructions to a tee. I tried again today. Still Status 7 error.

[Fascinate Android Development] DaveJeep:
I just updated to CWM 3.0.0.8 and when I go in to pick rom to flash it says E:Can't mount /sdcard
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Try it with CWM 3.0.0.6
[Fascinate Android Development] joethc:
If you use the latest Miui build 1.6.10 you can just use this kernel as its the new ril, tested and working so far with 10b :D The work has already been done we were just waiting for MIUI to catch up.
[Fascinate Android Development] spydr11:
I'm also getting the Status 7 error. Using CMR v3.0.0.5
[Fascinate Android Development] spydr11:
I followed the steps from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1061946

To get CM7 on. I haven't changed the kernel yet but it installed this time without a status 7 error. I will update tomorrow probably.

Edit: I've installed the Glitch kernel, everything is running fantastic. All I did was install the kernel found in the link above and then wiped and then installed CM7, then the Glitch Kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
the one day i forget to bring my USB cable to work is the day i find this...of course...can't wait to get home and try this. been missing CM7

also will this kernel work with these roms or only the ones linked in OP?
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
I'm using nightly #26 right now with this kernel. Very pleased. Just calibrated my battery so will be testing that over the next few days.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
thank you. Did you experience any issues following the steps in the OP to flash?
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
great guide and thank you for the kernel. the only thing is that my carrier shows as 302220 instead of telus. but everything works great...did not try gps yet tho.

edit: GPS Fix indoors within 10-15 sec in google maps
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Np, not my kernel tho :P. I think it's normal to see the carrier number instead of the carrier name. Well at least, i have the same problem. I got no problem with that.I think the problem is because the new RIL that was introduced.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
kinda figured that but i was fine with it. even more now that i am not the only one it's happening 2. It's ood tho because the 2 CDMA networks in my area show up as numbers but the one GSM shows it's proper name.

I also noticed that in about phone where it says IMEI SV it used to be 3 now it 1 again no big deal(as i'm not even sure what this is) just noting all changes i noticed.

edit:Another thing i am just noticing now is that in areas where i know i have poor coverage(like inside my work) i now loose service completely where before i would not. so it seems that the modem used is more picky about signal or something. it's not that big a deal but kinda....

just a small question to update to a new CM7 build i would simply have to:

1. boot recovery and flash new CM7 zip file

2. reboot and confirm service wait 10 min then reboot

3. reboot recovery and flash this kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Shouldn't have to wait 10 mins, but better be safe than sorry :P. If you get a Menu popping each time you boot saying : Proactive command rejected by me. I would suggest you to flash the latest insanity CM rom. I flashed it and have problem with that anymore and i my phone don't loose signal where usually it was too low to get it ( With CM7 #27 ). This should also increase your battery life as it won't be searching a signal. Here is a link for the insanity rom. Flash it than reboot recovery and flash Glitch kernel back.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
That is a nice looking rom. just flashed it after doing wipe,wipe,wipe and still same issue inside my office i get no signal but with stock rom i would get some(altho not very much)
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Just passing by to say that we should have V10c version of glitch kernel tommorow :D. Glitch was too tired and had to go sleep but i'll catch him tommorrow. You can see the changelog on his thread of i9000.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
Finally solved my reception issue. for anyone else having dropped connection in areas where you had reception before all you have to do is flash this modem(wich is the stock telus modem) and all should be good.

Steps to flash.

1. Download attachment to sdcard

2. boot into recovery

3. flash zip

4. reboot and enjoy

i take no credit for this all i did was take the modem file from here(linked from this post) and replace the modem.bin in it with the stock jl3 modem from telus.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
I'm pretty sure this ain't a good idea. You should try the KC1 modem instead. But, try what you made and give us some details if it work ^^.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
why would this not be a good idea...like i said everything works so far...the only thing not really tested is gps wich i will be doing in about 1h.

i will also try the kc1 modem.. probably tomorrow just to see a whole day from the JL3 modem.

Edit:So far so good same fast 10-15 sec GPS lock outside so I am happy with this modem I will try kc1 also over the weekend just to compare. Will update then. Hopeful for new kernel version today.
[Fascinate Android Development] Tk-Glitch:
Just to let you know, V10C is now available for the Telus Fascinate. Chad will update this thread when he'll be back around here, but for now, you can just get it from the i9000 thread (just click on the Glitch logo in my signature).
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Just passing by, will update the thread soon ^^ thx glitch
[Fascinate Android Development] a2000rick:
what's Glitch about? why would I want to use this instead of stock CM7? Is it for overclocking? or does stock CM7 not work yet?
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Wow, Raad the op dude. Read it every time you are looking at a thread.
[Fascinate Android Development] a2000rick:
so its just

- Up to 1.6GHz CPU OC with added bus/GPU OC (Thanks morfic)

- Undervolting using Pimp my CPU or Voltage Control

- Voodoo Sound - & Voodoo Color, using VC versions (Thanks Supercurio)

- FPS uncap (from 56 to 66) from JPX source

- Various tweaks for more smoothness and reliability

- LED notifications

are there plans to incorporate this into CM7, or are these tweaks still not stable enough for CM?
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
You know that kernel and rom are two separate thing? Cyanogenmod and android are two things too. Cyanogenmod rom are based on android. They come with a stock kernel which we replace to get better performance or battery life. What you just wrote and took from the op are added feature to the kernel. So it won't be added to stock kernel because it would loose the sense of "stock".
[Fascinate Android Development] a2000rick:
Yes I know kernel and rom can be separate, but from what I understand CM7 already includes a kernel. (one that is not stock android 2.3.4) I was just wondering if the glitch kernel was based on the official CM kernel and why these changes aren't being added to the official kernel. I'm probably very confused.
[Fascinate Android Development] Tk-Glitch:
The goal for the CM team is to make a stock kernel compatible with AOSP roms. It is far closer to a real stock/clean kernel than the crap Samsung is building. It is based on Nexus S kernel if you don't know.

These changes will never be added to the official kernel because they are not included in both SGS or Nexus S stock kernels to begin with, and some features are a bit hacky or breaking the AOSP spirit.

I'm obviously using the CM kernel as base.
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
Hi guy,

Long time without been here

I update to #33 + v10C VC everything seems work fine but only one question

Is it something change on CM7 Build ? i'm like you with Telus then as i put telus radio too it show me as network

302610

302220

can Rogers inc

but APN is correctly setup with telus

Seems be on telus network 3G+ here

so if someone have same issue or know how to fix it

regards;)
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
I installed #31 + v10C VC + Telus modem yesterday, and I had the same thing (carrier name replaced by number). I don't know exactly what fixed it, but it says the actual name now.

The only two things that I've done since flashing are:

1. Type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and select "Phone info" > preferred network type > GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), toggle airplane mode on/off, and then menu > select radio band > automatic.

2. Reboot to recovery and delete cache partition, delete dalvik cache, fix permissions.

Hope one of those helps
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
I try what you said but still not working

Sent from my T-959D
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
It's not really important, i'm living with this "Problem" since CM7 14. Just be sure to flash back telus JL3 modem or JV6 from europe and you will avoid connection drop on low signal.
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
Yeah i know that's not very important,

Just my curiosity ;) trying to fix things like that :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Gage_Hero:
This kernel in storck rom

Does anyone know if you can use the CM or Glitch kernel in the stock T959D rom? I am currently running Supercurio's Voodoo Lagfix kernel.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
no...this kernel is for CM7/mium only...god people read the OP

From op

"Note : These kernels are only compatible with CM7 and MIUI roms !"
[Fascinate Android Development] Gage_Hero:
Thanks Grondinm, I came into the thread from a Google search, sorry for the inconvinence, it won't happen again.
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
Try since this issue to send sms still not working but able to receive them

Change sim to a Fido one (device is unlock) don't recognize it at all
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
found a way to fix that. Go into sim toolkit, roam/intl change it to 2. wait a few sec, go back in it, change it to 1 and reboot
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
Thank you

I try it but unable to change the settings

My device work like it is lock for another carrier

I install ficeto jvp and everything fine

Back to build 37 and device act like lock to another carrier

If i lock it it don't take telus at all

Unlock it give what you know
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
what do you mean by change the settings ?
[Fascinate Android Development] Doc_rockulus:
Which of these to statements from the OP is accurate?

I will assume the first, as that one means I can just go ahead, but if anything happens, I'll come back and check for the second.
[Fascinate Android Development] Doc_rockulus:
I didn't let the lagfix finish. That was the problem.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Corrected the mind fu*k, just took too fast from the OP. Thanks :D.
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
This setting

*INTL1 cannot set INTL2 at all in the Sim toolkit

Actually i don't have anymore possibility to send/receive SMS

I flash 2.2.1 Official with EFS same issue

I try JVP fisceto 2.3.4

And Flash CM7 from build #33 to #40

Still nothing

i'm calling Telus to verify if my SIM card have any issue
[Fascinate Android Development] Doc_rockulus:
I can't change that setting either, but mine works fine.

I had a problem to begin with. Resetting the device in airplane mode seems to fix it most of the time.

What is displayed in your APNs and Network operators?

Additionally, does your IMEI match whats printed under the battery?
[Fascinate Android Development] alexrod73:
Well i was talking with telus support 1hour yesterday

then actually they reanable sms services / no result (send/receive sms) not working

Talk with a 2nd LVL then he find something on my account who was desactivated - renable it now i'm able to REceive but not send

i will check Emei match number then add comments here

Update Emei number verified and ok

Try to put collegue simcard in my device able to connect and send/receive sms

Seems to be the sim card :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
I have been having troubles trying to get this to work. I have gotten as far as installing the kernel and clearing the system, cache and data. I am stuck on the ROM flash. Everything I've tried comes up with errors and no flash. I've tried both build 41 and 42 bit both give me errors, I even tried renaming it update. What am I missing? I have been trying to do it from recovery mode. I've tried doing it rooted and not rooted.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Did you followed the op instruction, you are probably getting error like : failed to get prop value bla bla bla and a long message. This is because you are trying to install the rom on a non-cm kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] Doc_rockulus:
What OC/UV values is everyone using?

I'm currently using pimp my CPU and OP's recommended settings. Additionally, I have the governor set to "smartass".

While these settings are adequate, I would like to know if anyone has made any improvement in operation or battery life.

What errors are you getting? If it's "Status 7" it's because you didn't let the voodoo lagfix finish.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
I am a getting a paragraph of errors, but at the end I get Status 7. I double checked that voodoo was enabled and it still didn't work. I'll try to disable and then re-enable voodoo.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Error 7 is most of the time because you are not using a 3.0.x.x CWM kernel
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
I'm using the files posted from within this thread. voodoo.advanced.v666.2-20110111-21.53 is the kernel I flashed.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
My bad, just saw the error in the tuto, i'll change it when ill be at home. You need to flash glitch kernel before flashing CM7 package. Sorry for this.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
Thanks. I'm still new to android flashing (came from WinMo) so the steps are still new to me.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
Well, I've got it up an running, and it's beautiful! Only problem is that I cannot get service. I went back to stock 2.2 and everything. When I turn the phone on, it tells me I have a new voicemail, but it says 'Mobile network not available' and when I go into Settings -> Wireless & network settings -> Mobile networks -> Network operators I only get CAN Rogers Wireless Inc. I have tried flashing the stock JL3 modem and then get stuck with no service at all. I have tried my SIM card in my jailbroken iPhone 3G and it works fine. Now what am I missing?
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
What package did u use to flash the jl3 modem. This is very odd. Can you also confirm that you imei matches.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
I used Odin to flash from the leaked 2.2 for the radio. I will flash back tonight after work and check the imei.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
So, it is my IMEI number. It's totally off. What's the best way to change it back?
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
Search a few post back in this thread, Someone provided a package with working JL3 modem.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rabid_Gypsy:
Perfect! I had restored my IMEI by backing up my stock efs folder and still had problems, I upgraded my radio and now everything is working perfectly! Once I get the phone setup how I want it, I'll try to get rid of the number for my carrier instead of Telus. Thanks again.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grondinm:
That is due to some changes made in CM7(related to RIL) everyone has that now. I am not sure what us users can do about it but if you get it let us know.
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
Is anyone else using the Voodoo Control app to implement voodoo sound? Glitch 10C-VC has voodoo sound v9 installed but whenever I try to load the sound driver in the app, it reboots the phone.

I'm using CM7 Nightly #51 (today) with Glitch 10C-VC.
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
New voodoo sound driver can't be loaded over old one in Cyanogemod. This cause the phone to crash as you said. You will have to wait untill the new kernel with v10 voodoo fix included. But i must say that even now, most of the kernel don't have it. will surely take a few day before we can have it. It will surely be included in v11 but Glitch is really busy these time so we will have to wait.
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
Ya but I also tried an older version of Voodoo Control (one with voodoo sound v9). It said everything was compatible when I opened Voodoo Control, but when I try to load the module it reboots. I don't care that much, as I haven't used voodoo sound before...but I would like to.
[Fascinate Android Development] TjPhysicist:
--post deleted--
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
This kernel has voodoo sound in, it's just not compatible to load newer version with voodoo control. If you don't have voodoo sound, just reflash the kernel ^^
[Fascinate Android Development] kenyloveg:

[Fascinate Android Development] kenyloveg:
Can you add link to your first post? (actually i've no idea where to find these modems...)

Like JL3 modem for 2G network, XXX modem for 3G modem?

I successfully got to step 9 and booted into CM7 with Glitch (looks awesome and quick) using Low Leakage, however there is no service or 3G, Went back to stock and reinstalled Glitch and still no service. Is there a way to now flash a Telus modem, seems that Odin no longer works. I am a Noob to all this but have been doing alot of reading, cant find an answer to this one.

Thank you

[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
Which version are you guys using? I installed the "Low Leakage" version, and it's been great. Battery life isn't amazing though. Anybody try the other ones?
[Fascinate Android Development] mattsolberg:
You don't want to be using Odin to flash anything once you're on CM7. Kernels and modems should be flashed through ClockWork Mod recovery. Could be your problem.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcubdub:
Thanks for the tip. To flash the original Telus modem which i have, how do i flash a modem from inside ClockWork Mod recovery?
[Fascinate Android Development] jcubdub:
You can get the stock Telus Fascinate Froyo files here.

Download this file : Telus TLJL3 Modem and put it on your phone.

Get into CWM recovery and select install zip file, choose zip from sd card, select the modem file and you will have like 6 no and one install . choose the install. then reboot.
[Fascinate Android Development] jcubdub:
Thanks Alot chadouming :D
[Fascinate Android Development] chadouming:
np, it worked well ?
[Fascinate Android Development] samperlmutar:
Chadouming,

How long has it been since you used a stock rom (JVP, JVQ, etc.) and how did it compare in terms of battery life? Right now CM7 with glitch kernel and UV only gives me unimpressive results. I'm considering trying JVQ, but don't want to change rom's just for battery life unless it's a big difference.
