Anyone have a solution to this? My friends I9000m is on Rogers as well, except it is all stock teamhacksung CM9 and can not receive 3G. I'm going to try some other radios and look at his APN settings but I'm positive the APN is correct.

How is the ZSJPG Modem working with this?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyJoe83:
Tried to do this for my girl's SGS but won't work.

I can get the phone to factory state, rooted with CWM/ SU and then when entering recovery when I try to flash a .zip it tries to install but 2 seconds into the bar of applying the zip it reboots and can't go into recovery again nor has it flashed the build.

Tried to flash a bunch of different ICS roms + even CM7.1, all .zip files won't go past a little bit into the bar and BAM reboot..

Went back to factory 7+ times and tried different .zips, all failed :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jason123420:
Next time it reboots pull the battery then try 3 button combo into recovery and flash the rom again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] BuddyJoe83:
Gonna try, cheers for thinking along :)

So I have had an i9000m for over a year and have never had this problem.. my friend just got his and it came with ugkg3.. the problem is the phone won't boot on any other firmwares except for kg3 or kc1(2.2) my question is how do I root and get clockwork mod on this firmware.. because if I flash jvp or jw1 or jw5 all I get is a bootloop... thanks in advance.

JVP Rom

Hi I downloaded all the original files however the JVP link is down... what do I use in its place? Also the Pit PDA and CSC files listed in the Odin step I'm guessing are generated in that JVP Rom? Because the associated file names aren't listed in any of the other support file downloads when extracted? I am super new to this and just got the phone second hand yesterday I9000m already rooted and unlocked just trying to get ICS up and running.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CatalystWon:
Bootloops are often caused by not clearing/wiping cache(s) from recovery console after flashing.

As I recall, the stock JW5 kernel has the same [restrictive] 3e recovery as KG3 that won't let you install ClockworkMod.

I went from KG3 to JW5 by flashing JW5 PDA as PDA, and re-using the KG3 PHONE and KG3 CSC files. Use Pit 512.

Then I flashed Semaphore Kernel 2.7.4. It has ClockworkMod built in. Once you are up and running, just install Superuser from the Market and you are rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
You could have just installed a rooted KG3 kernel instead.

semaphore kernel, thats a good idea , irrespective of the gingerbread rom, can flash this kernel to achieve cwm, it doesnt really matter as thats all u need to get going.

Once your in CWM , flash away ICS.

Add Semaphore

So to skip steps in the original all you'd need to do is flash semaphore 2.7.4 (which one of the files listed do I use? there are several .tar files) through Odin. That will give me access to CWM and Tweaks? I then use CWM to flash AOSP (ICS SGS) the same as in the original steps?

If I use this kernel to root my phone, will that wipes my data?

Is there anyway to root my i9000m without losing anything?

I want to root and install cwm to make a nandroid backup of my current phone so I could play around and try some rom but always have a "safe home" to come back to.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mirrorMan1:
Thanks man
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
No, it won't wipe your data. Your current ROM is a safe one. With this kernel, you will be able to back it up.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mathieums:
I don't know what I did wrong, but it didn't work.

I flashed the pda only with odin and when I saw that it have failed I swear my heart stopped beating!

I wasn't able to do anything with the phone it was completely dead. I played around and nothing... So I just let it sit there and when I came back it was written modem boot end now plug usb for upload.

From there I managed my way to the download mode and was able to install back the stock pda,phone,csc with odin.

Now phone is back to stock and I didn't have time to backup anything... Anyway doesn't matter...

I'll now try an ICS rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
Well I don't think it is flashable directly with Odin. Odin should have warned you about it, but I am not surprised because it is not a good software.

You can't really brick your galaxy S. You can always boot into download mode and reflash.

If you flash a wrong kernel, you can reflash a good one and you don't even loose the rest of your settings. Of course if you flash a whole PDA (kernel + system partition) with Odin then you are out of luck.

The file I gave you is an Heimdall firmware package. You can flash it easily by loading it in the Heimdall gui. Or you can repackage it for Odin, if that's what you prefer. The important file is the zImage one in the archive.

*See my old thread in which time I may have flashed the wrong file(s)

15 minutes are done plus 10 minutes with the battery out. I'm going back into recovery and hit "wipe cache partition" and reboot.

I get that before going into another boot loop.

I'm really new to Odin & Samsung, I do have ADB functional as I used it to put the phone into download mode when I first got it (now I can use the 3-buttom combo, before it would just boot up).

If you are on the i9000m, try using the KG3 from here. In Odin, use CSC, PDA, and Phone from the package. It saved my ass before.

OK for sure you have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant i9000m (from Bell)? And you got the files from the link above stock KG3:

http://www.mediafire.com/?481cu5rt06w4svg

Input PDA, CSC, Phone. Pit is not necessary... And Odin said you passed? Cause I have soft bricked my phone many times doing "interesting" things, and this set has always brought me back to stock rom Ginger Bread.

KC1 (Froyo 2.2) worked for me as well to bring me back to stock. You can try that one:

I have been told the european GB JVT 2.3.5 should work as well. It never worked for me.

(MultiCSC: CPW, DBT, KOR, XEO, XEU)

The main reason why it took me so long to reverse back to stock because I have always mistaken the i9000m as a Samsung Vibrant (Canada crap marketing). I should have been flashing the Galaxy S i9000 roms but I never knew. So I was in boot loop for a very long time. Make sure you are flashing the right rom for the right product.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silentbob999:
The thread mentioned above with all the stocks rom is a must have. With that, you are sure to get back to a working phone at anytime... But the big problem with KG3 is the 3e recovery that come with it... It's really a pain to root and move to CWrecovery ...

I didn't had to pass true that since a while... Since that I heard that using older version with eg. Froyo that have another recovery can be more easy.

You can also flash CM7 and another kernel to save you of a boot loop. Eg. CM7->SEMAPHORE -> CM9-> SEMAPHORE... Not sure if it works on all cases but according to that thread that may work :

If you have the 3e recovery and you already root you can take a look at Mobile Odin. + check for a thread made by the developers on XDA. He gives a link for a zip / zimage to use with is soft that will replace the recovery... That soft is really well created... It's just bad that it cannot be used when you are on CM9 or other roms with different partition...

Thanks again for helping me. It's been a week or so since I last messed with the phone. It's now gotten to the point where Odin gets stuck on "Setup Connection". Doesn't go past that. I was able to try KG3 which put me in a loop, but I was not able to try KC1 (stuck).

Maybe I should move to Heimdall.

I hope this isn't a PICNIC (Problem in chair not in computer)!!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Silentbob999:
You may want to restart your phone while usb connected and Odin open. I mean, while in download mode, hold the power button and key combination you need to force it to restart in download mode again... That really help Odin to work as it should...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] CatalystWon:
For all i9000M users, I suggest you NEVER use the word 'Vibrant' when relating to your i9000 or i9000M device. The phrase 'Samsung Vibrant' normally refers to the USA T-mobile Samsung SGH-T959 phone. Bell Canada also referred to their GT-i9000M as a Vibrant, which was a foolish marketing decision.

ROMs for the SGH-T959 are NOT compatible with the GT-i9000M/GT-i9000

. If you missed the last sentence, read it again. Many users have gotten into difficulty flashing the wrong ROM. The devices look very similar but contain different hardware; even the number and type of buttons along the bottom differ.

In case that is still not clear let me say it another way:

If you own a GT-i9000M/GT-i9000, flash only ROMs specifically for the Samsung GT-i9000

.

A small warning.

When I flashed a custom GT-i9000 kernel on my GT-i9000M, the Samsung boot screen no longer displays GT-i9000M, but instead displays GT-i9000 without the "M", and Setting/About phone/Model number displays: GT-I9000. This is not a problem to be alarmed about because the GT-i9000M is still a GT-i9000, containing radio hardware for N.A

m

erican frequencies, so be sure to flash the correct CSC and PHONE files.

I hope this helps. :)

I followed this guide using the same files down to the same version of Odin and Odin is now stuck at SetupConnection (see pic). I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000M 2.3.3 UGKG3. What should I do? I'm panicking a little because I don't want to brick my brother's phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
this is due to, you have KIES running in the background to close it

Disable Samsung KIES when using Odin. Kill Kies.exe, KiesTrayAgent.exe, & KiesPDLR.exe using Task Manager on PC
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ci-Fi:
Thanks for the feedback, but I already checked to see if Kies was running; it wasn't.

I ended up doing a battery pull and then turned the phone on only to see the "phone ! computer" screen. I did another battery pull and held both volume up and volume down while inserting the usb into my phone with odin set up on my computer. This put the phone into download mode again. I used a different usb port this time and did everything exactly the same and it successfully rooted the phone.

---------- Post added at 11:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

After I rooted I wanted to backup my /efs folder before flashing to ICS because I've heard that you can lose your IMEI when flashing ROMs. I needed root access before I could back that folder up. I checked "about phone" and this is what troubles me now:

IMEI: unknown

IMEI SV: unknown

Baseband Version: unknown.

Model number: GT-I9000

Firmware Version: 2.3.4

Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXJVP

If I want to recover my /efs folder, should I flash a new modem using CWM and see if it comes back, if so, which modem? It should be noted that I don't have an active cell plan.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Flashed the Modem KG3 zip from page 1 using CWM and now I have the IMEI and everything back to normal. Now I just have to use Root Explorer to backup the /efs folder.

Sorry for all the questions, but I guess I'm just nervous that I'll mess up my brother's phone before he moves to another state - he would be pissed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
seems you are doing great on your own, for efs you can use an app like SGS repair, Nitrilty or GPS AIDS to do the backup or with root explorer you can ZIP the efs folder to another location, in addition you can also do a nandroid backup with your CWM . read this for insight

I9000M, want to update to Jelly Bean/ICS

Hi I'm trying to figure out how to update from a Bell I9000M I will be receiving from a friend tomorrow. It's got clockwork mod already installed and is already rooted. It's got a Darky's Fro-yo on it, but I would like to update it to ICS or Jelly Bean. I was reading this guide, and is it true that I can flash it using the regular I9000 custom ROMs? I heard this causes apps from Google Play to fail during installation, among other issues (wifi/network not working, Bluetooth not working)?

What is the best option for me, should leave it on Darky's Fro-yo, or can I update it to ICS or JB? Can anyone point me to a guide that's applicable to the I9000M from Bell?

Any help would be appreciated. I spent hours searching for guide to flash ICS or JB specifically onto the I9000M but had no luck.

I have an i9000m from virgin. You can use any i9000 rom. SlimICS, SlimBean, HellyBean, CM10... My girlfriend have it at the moment with a few weeks old hellybean. She can go over 200hours uptime before having to reboot to remove some memory leak, it's running pretty well.. Reading threads it look like they get less stable lately (all jellybean rom) but I think that this should not be a bummer.. Get Odin and driver on your pc, get Devil or Semaphore kernel in .tar version just in case of problem then you can try any rom you want. Read/search/ask questions on thread specific to the rom or kernel you want to trie. And enjoy one of the device that have the more mature development. Have fun

First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card, after flashing and reboot , insert them back

Tips before Flashing:-

Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM

Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card

Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu> Settings> Applications> Development>

Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Thank you for helping. I have decided to try SlimBean because I did some research and it seems to be most stable. Since it already has Darky's Rom with Clockwork installed and rooted, can I simply copy the slimbean zip file to the phone and boot into recovery mode and install it? How about the addons (AIO), will I have to boot into recovery mode again and install them after the slimbean rom has been installed, or do I install it another way? Also I'm told the modem on the phone is I9000UJL2, will this work or do I need to flash a new modem? I feel bad asking all these questions but it's been a few years since I've played around with flashing ROMs...
