Sure but idk if our devs are gonna build you guys stuff. Also, go to sampro.pl, it is a polish site so use Google chrome to translate it, then create an account for the site, go firmware downloads for your model if you see. If you do, then post a link to the latest version.

Imaging phone

I have heard that there may be an update in August. It may be prudent to wait for this update before capturing a ROM image, in case important fixes are made.

I guess a good question would be whether anyone has had any experience flashing T-Mobile SGH-959v ROMs on to this device.

Another avenue could be to ask someone inside Samsung whether they changed much between models.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Absolutely! I'm currently taking a little break (gotta find a job... like two weeks ago.), but when the dust settles, I'll take a little look at the source and see if we can help out.

What you could start with is a diff between the SGH-T959V-TMB_GB_Opensource.zip and the SGH-T959W_NA_GB_Opensource.zip drops.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] m4xm4n:
I'd be willing to look into giving you guys something fun to work with.

I'll do a series of diffs tonight on the T959W stock kernel source and the T959V sources (stock and our CM kernel).

I have Telus S4G, which is T959P. However I've never had a problem using T959V roms,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bminuk:
Another potential problem

I have been hearing on the web (in these forums and on the SuperOneClick page) that the 959W is not being successfully rooted in the usual ways. Has anyone had luck with this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
You really shouldn't flash roms not made for your phone. If they contain bootloaders, you could brick your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Hey T959W people. Looked at the source and things are looking pretty close. I'm not saying to run off and flash our stuff, but I need some info and someone with the big kahunas to try flashing some stuff.

Please be running linux. I can't help you with windows problems.

It would also be helpful if you have a usb download mode jig.

You can get one here:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Ok Canadians! I've verified that the SGH-T959W should be exactly the same as the SGH-T959V.

There were some interesting differences between our T959V and T959W that may fix some bugs for us on T959V.

With that said, please... please... please, read all of the instructions for flashing ROMs and Kernels very carefully!

If the rom contains bootloaders, please DO NOT flash them until we can confirm there are no bootloader differences.

Like I said before, it is very common to soft brick your device. It is not the end, and do not worry if you do this. Make sure you get yourself a usb download mode jig here:

This will help you use heimdall or odin to flash stuff to your phone to make everything happy again.

You will only hard brick this device by writing the wrong bootloaders to the phone, which is why I am warning you to not flash bootloaders, for now!

With that, enjoy cm7, cm9, aokp, et alii!

I will also announce this in the android general forum!

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Derpopotamus:
I managed to get my Wind SGH-T959W rooted and up and running with a unofficial CM9 build, but it took a bit of work.

Firstly, I tried just about every one-click solution out there, to no avail. It's possible SOC 1.7 with rattlethecage works, but I didn't have the patience to find out whether I simply had to wait a bit longer.

I followed this guide(whilst clenching every clenchable muscle I could consciously control):

http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/o...mission-t-mobile-galaxy-s-4g-gingerbread.html

The gist is, Odin 1.7, stock+voodoo for T959V, plus some update that I'm not qualified to describe. That should get you rooted and if that's all you're looking for, you'll have to suffer through a little T-Mobile branding on startup.

Once you got it all rooted, you'd think it'd be a good idea to toss sgs-ics on there, right? Well, no. After installing the 4G variant, it promptly set off into a boot loop which I'm again, unqualified to diagnose. The obvious solution was to try another team's version of ICS, which I indeed found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1730954

Barring some missing features, it sounds like a good alternative to sgs-ics. Though I had to go through one additional step, which I really, honestly assure you I was under-qualified to execute. When I tried to load Team Acid's CM9 r3 it gave me an assert on the updater-script, since the hardware didn't match up. Easy. Unzip the package, open up META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script, remove the first check. You know it's the same hardware, you don't need some stinkin' script to tell you it won't work.

So all said and done, I now have a Wind Mobile SGH-T959W running ICS 4.0.4 courtesy of bhundven, the Odin folks, Team Acid, and likely a slew of other contributors.

Thanks folks, and enjoy!

PS, if you want that tarball bhundven, send me a PM with some brief instructions, and hopefully you can help my fellow Winders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Would have been easy, had you just followed my directions.

Duh, and rightfully so. You should not flash anything that was not made for your phone.

As I said before. The SGH-T959V and the SGH-T959W are the same phone, just packaged differently for t-mobile vs. wind.

So, obviously this worked. :p

:facepalm:

We can fix that by adding your OTA Assert to our build. Then this won't happen. Let me fix that. ;)

Thanks for someone finally reporting something useful! :)

No pm needed.

One more thing that would be very handy from somone with stock on T959W.

Please:

adb pull /system/build.prop

edit the file with notepad++(windows), textedit(macosx), or gedit(linux) and put the results on pastebin.com.

Then paste the link in this forum.

Sorry to barge in on this thread, but i decided i wanted to register to ask a bit more about this particular subject. I also have a Samsung Galaxy s 4g T959W from Mobilicity (carrier like WIND.) Anyhow. I also searched high and low and then found this thread. I followed Derp's instructions (minus the ones that caused him to have boot loops because im a noob when it comes to android phones, this is my first droid.) And i successfully got root. However, what made me pause what was you said "Would have been easy, had you just followed my directions.." Now I'm not sure why this is , but i've been hard pressed to find where these "directions" you speak of are. Would a link be possible? Would my phone be better off in restoring it to stock and then following your directions that ive yet to find? Any advice on what ROM i should use as well? Thanks and sorry for the bombardment of noob questions.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
These here:

TLDR: Don't flash bootloaders if the ROM contains bootloaders. No CWM roms contain bootloaders, a lot of heimdall/odin roms contain bootloaders.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nightfire2:
I must be losing my marbles. After you said These here:

there is nothing. Just blank space. Why? Do i not have proper permissions on this forum to see links or...?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
That is the instructions he is referring to.

If you have root goto the play store download sgs kernel flasher.

Then goto this thread and download the v 1.1.3 and put it on your sdcard. Then start sgs kernel flasher and follow the instructions.

After that power the phone off and wait a few seconds, the press the volume buttons so both are pressed in and press the power button. Once the initial boot screen comes on release the power button but hold the volume buttons. That will reboot you to recovery. In recovery perform a backup from backup and restore. Once that is done, you can follow the instructions in the thread for whatever flavor of ICS you want to flash. Just remember there is no one click to get back to stock kj6 for you guys yet.

If you want to try to contact them and ask about mini keis for your phone that would be great. Tell them you want it in case you have to perform a factory reset/ data wipe and you had read that the phone will lag and some people had issues and wanted to avoid being without the phone. Surely they will be willing to avoid warranty service.

sgh-t959w

From what I have found out (through questionable resources) is the difference between the t-mobile and the canadian version is the modem. Can anyone confirm this? I say questionable resources because I asked the clerk from where I bought it if he knew anything about rooted phones, told him about my lastphone (LG Optimus 2) and had it rooted, show me a phone that is easily rooted. I got the SGH-T959w.....I have yet to root it....lucky i havn't bricked it,casue no of the methods if tried have been sucessful.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
If anyone 'bricks' there sgh-t959w, pay for shipping, and I will fix it. Just a one time offer for sgh-t959w users. I can't fix hard bricks (yet), but I can fix your softbricks and at least put cm9 on it and return it.

Soon... if Raver put it in the mail, I'll have a riffbox. When I get a job and can get a new soldering iron and tip, I can also do unbrickable mod for your phone.

Again, sgh-t959w users need only apply. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
Most questions are answered on the wiki. If you see the words bootloader, pay attention.

Don't flash bootloaders until we can confirm they will work on your phone.

As for the radio being different. It's quite possible, but we still don't have the kies or leaked tarball for the t959w, so...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
For any of you wind users who's familiar with the command line, if you're on Gingerbread/ICS and have busybox installed (all the ICS roms have busybox as far as I know) try doing this for us using the phone's terminal app or ssh'ing into their phones.

dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/boot.bin
dd if=/dev/block/bml4 of=/sdcard/sbl.bin
dd if=/dev/block/bml5 of=/sdcard/sbl2.bin

zip/tarball the 3 files and post them somewhere and post the link here so we can compare them to the SGH-T959V'S partitions and try to see if they're the same.

I noticed that the wiki was lacking a lot of clear info on bootloaders for our phone, so I wrote a quick page that you guys can link to if anyone asks any more questions. Hope it helps :)

Thanks for posting this.

After reading your post I also managed to root my Wind SGH-T959W and installed ICS from Team Acid. Thanks for the tip about editing META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script :)

The instructions in this link

http://www.galaxyforums.net/forum/o...mission-t-mobile-galaxy-s-4g-gingerbread.html

are missing key step.

When you get to Download mode, you get Windows message that "Device driver is not successfully installed".

It will complete installation once you press Volume Up on your phone and proceed with Download mode. So, do not press Volume Down which cancels the process by rebooting the phone.

Where can I find modem for this device?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I've flashed the KJ6 modem, KD4 and KG4 modems on this phone without problem. I used 1-click to get me stock + CW recovery, flashed CM9 from there, then AOKP, then Remics, then CM9 again and a bunch back and forth, tried different modems in between, back to KJ6 and never had a problem.

With that said, I have been trying to get Wind to send me a copy of the original 2.3 update for this phone but their tech's don't seem to get it. lol. After a few emails, I finally got an email back telling me to google how to flash the Nexus and upgrade to ICS using googles update for the Nexus. LOL. I probably would have bricked my phone. After more emails, they are supposed to call me on the phone to get more information about my request. :silly:

Stuck in recovery mode

Hey Guys,

I have a Samasung Galaxy S with wind and currently stuck on recovery mode. I am able to go into download mode with a battery pull.

Whenever I reboot I end up in cwm recovery mode. I can install certain zips from there. However I have never been able to actually start any of the ROMs installed. I managed to switch versions of cwm but still not able to boot up the ROM. I was hoping that someone could advise me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
What is your model number? Pop out the battery and post what is says here por favor.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
First, hopefully you didn't flash any bootloaders. Second, what roms are you trying to install. Some ROM's need CM9 base installed first. Third, how did you root and get CWM in the first place? I have a Wind phone and have tried almost every ROM under the sun on here. Let me know the answers to those questions and I will try and get you a path to trying different ROM's.

Oh, just to confirm You have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G (I don't think Wind has the normal S) but want to make sure. There are so many variants with the S phones and they use slightly different software. Behind your battery you should see the model number. T959W.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sneaky3:
Yes it is the Samsung galaxy S 4g, T959W. I made the mistake of flashing bootloaders, Didn't think it would be a problem, I believed That the T959W was identical to the T959V. I've tried a variety of ROMs from Gingerbread stock to CM 7 and 9 and they have installed through cwm. most of them can be installed but the ROMs don't boot up. instead the phone boots into recovery mode.

Flashing with Heimdall or Odin is not usually not successful. Would appreciate if anyone can help me out here.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Well the ROM's are identical but no one has flashed a bootloader as we don't have the original bootloader to compare, hence why most searching will tell you "DON'T FLASH THE BOOTLOADER". I have been trying to get Wind to send me a tar file of their 2.3.6 update so we can have an official copy of the "W" bootloader but talking to them on the phone or email, is, well, not very easy to make them understand what I want.

When you first boot the phone, does the samsung logo come up and does it say 959V or 959W ? Sometimes the bootloader replaces that logo.

I would put the phone in download mode, try and go right back to stock using this

http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/bhundven/T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar/download

That should get rid of any recovery or anything and put it back to stock, then try and boot. Let me know if that gets you back to stock. (don't flash bootloader in that package) although can't hurt since you already said you did it, lets keep that to a min. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sneaky3:
Thanks but it didnt work.

Thanks for the package. I tried it and keeps failing at modem upload.

I believe I've tried this with the same results in the past.

Is there anything else I should try.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
If you click on details, you can uncheck the modem so it doesn't flash it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Sneaky, did you ever get your phone going? I can fix it for you now after dumping my phone, doing lots of flashing and asking stupid questions and getting help from bhundven and other team acid members.

-----------------------------------------

To anyone with a Wind phone who find this thread and hopefully reads it before trying to flash their phones, it is possible but the modem upload in odin and heimdall will fail and could boot loop you or recovery loop you. I am working on a 1-click package, I have the stock modem, stock phone files, everything and I have given dumps to the Heimdall creator to hopefully figure out why it won't flash and they we will have an official 1click back to stock and 1click+root stock, with stock apps, modem, the works. It's the modem flashing that's causes most loops, then people go nuts trying to flash anything to get it back when it's possible to get out of with the right files and tools, so if someone gets this phone and finds this thread before flashing, give me a bit and I will have true Wind packages for us. If you can't wait and must flash, I can give you a manual package to do it but I will offer no support or anything with it because it's not an automated process and it would be preferred you wait for my 1clicks.

New WInd SAMSUNG galaxy S 4G T959W

Its Novenber 6, 2012. I have a stock WInd galaxy S 4G T959W

Are we ready for a simple oneclick ICS upgrade ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
It's still november 6th. Not even SGH-T959V has a "simple oneclick ICS upgrade".

You should figure out how to do it. I've got an idea ;), replace the update.zip on cache.rfs in the oneclick to contain cm9's update.zip instead of the csc update. Just mount cache on your phone. Format it, cp cm-9-2012xxyy-UNOFFICIAL.zip to /cache/update.zip, umount the file system, fsck the filesystem, and dd the block device to cache.rfs on your sdcard. copy it off and replace it in the oneclick using the heimdall-frontend and the oneclick packager. oneclick and reboot to instant upgrade to ics/cm9. TADA. Flashing twice to get bootloaders, just pull the battery after you see the galaxys 4g logo, check the 'flash bootloaders' checkbox and flash again.

No GPS

I just upgraded my Mobilicity Samsung SGH-T959W to cm-10.2-20130920-UNOFFICIAL-galaxys4gmtd

It now reports iteslf as being an SGH-T959V ..... non-issue as far as I am concerned.

It works so well compared to the original ROM ....... but I have no GPS icon (top right pulldown screen or in power widget etc.) and no way that I can see to turn on GPS. If I use Google Maps it asks me to turn on wifi to help navigate .... not very helpful when I'm driving along the highway. But no mention of GPS.

What did you other guys flash to your 959W and do you have a working GPS?

Main reasons I did the flash was constant memory issues on Gingerbread and CIBC banking app in ICS allowing me to take a pic of a cheque and bank it straight away.

Any pointers would be very useful as I got lost this morning on the way to work.

U can go to the slimsaber thread in development section and search fo the temp fix for gps w hope that it will work on ur phone as it has been reported working for some members. Even tho that is a kitkat rom thread but that method should work on JB if ur phone has luck w it.

I can't do it now.. It's not fully charged now.. But I'll try my best to explain..

When my phone is fully charged, and I take it off the charger, the draw is only -2ma, even though I'm like browsing the web. As soon as it drops to 98%, the drain is around 200ma when browsing the web. When the battery is around 40%, the drain is around 600ma. And when the battery is around 15%, the drain is 800ma when browsing the web..

One question: How much ma does your phone pull when screen off idle? (Mine pulls -30ma, but there are sometime that pulls -100ma?)

Note: I have no sync on .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
That's weird cause you would think your mah drain would always be around 700-1800 depending on your CPU clock settings. Your app up to date?

Yeah, it's the latest Battery widget.

Can you do this?

Charge battery to 100%, set clock speed to 412mhz for Trinity/389 if on Faux.. (screen off)

See drain with screen off at 100%

Now drain your battery to 30 - 40%

And put clock speed to 412mhz for trinity 389 for faux (screen off)

Now see the history
