[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnineed:
Hi all,

I've been searching around in XDA and Google for info but can't seems to find anything useful.

The I9000 that I'm using, doesn't support UMTS 850 (also known as Telstra NextG), which I thought can be enabled by replacing the Modem/Radio. So I looked around on how to do this.

I tried the keys to "enable" the 850 but doesn't work.

So my only option is to replace the modem/radio.

Anyone kind enough to show me what is the latest modem/radio that supports UMTS 850 by default for I9000 and how to replace them, eg. is it the "phone" and "CSC" file?

I'm noob but knows how to use odin. Just wanted to be sure on how to replace it properly.

Just to clarify as well on below as the info I'm getting is always patchy.

* Is the Radio/Modem from other models or similar models, are compatible with each other?

* Radio or Modem means the same?

* In Odin, PIT file is the partition information required when you are re-partitioning, is that right?

* In Odin, Bootloader is kernel file, is that rigtht?

* In Odin, PDA file is the firmware itself, is that right?

* In Odin, what PDA stands for?

* In Odin, Phone file is the Radio/Modem, is that right?

* In Odin, CSC is the location aka branded phone, is that right?

Apology for all the questions but noob needs information :)

My phone specs below

Model: GT-I9000

Android ver.: 4.0.4

Baseband: I9000XXJVK

Kernel: 3.0.8-g4dc1367pinky-ghost

ROM: MIUI-2.5.11

Cheers,

John
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dustman317:
Some modems are compatible with other devices but not all.

*Radio/Modem are same things.

*Yes, PIT file is partionning info required in case of re-partitionning.

*Bootloader isn't kernel file, it's the thing who order the phone booting (get verification).

*In Odin, PDA is the kernel file.

*In Odin PHONE is the firmware himself.

*In Odin,the CSC square is the modem/radio file.

This questions can appear silly but it's the only way to learn, all masters passed by this path ^^.

To use your UMTS mode try this Modem and reply me results :

For me UGJL2 Or UGKG3, or if you have so much luck you can use TUMJP4(I didnt had success searching it), the first two are fine though. Google them and flash them with clockworkmod recovery.
[HTC One X] lamenramen:
Hi,

I am trying to figure out how much of a hit the Tegra 3 gives you compared to the AT&T version, or better yet, the Sprint evo 4g lte version.

I am completely confused as to why the EVO 4g seems to have just as bad battery life as the international version of the one x, which uses the Tegra 3. The EVO 4g lte has a bigger battery, and it uses the S4 processor, so why are people saying that the battery is horrible...and this is ONLY with 3G service. It can only get worse when LTE is switched on.

Is the ROM released by Sprint basically crap or something? Do we STILL in this day and age basically have to root a phone, install a custom ROM on any android phone in order for it to perform to its potential?

Good， thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vonhinkle:
Does this only have Chinese language support?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirkdigles:
Weird, it's Sense 3.0 and not 3.6?

Edit: Also, is it safe to flash - because of the different China-specific radio?

Edit #2: I'm a moron
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
In general, there are more than 3 languages include English & Chinese
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
This should be more stable then the 3.0 ports we have correct? Since this is official?

EDIT: Can you upload it to a different website? Something like mediafire.com because this website is very slow.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
Yes, it's right

Was wondering do you have another mirror?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Yes, a mirror would be most appreciated... Also, is this rooted? Will I lose root if flashed? Stupid questions but the OP doesn't really say...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
not yet
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
It's RUU ROM, no root, but you can root it yourself
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Wait if you flash this then will you still have S-Off? And how are you supposed to root it then?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
Gonna wait for some devs to pull this thing apart.... :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
I'll probably update trinity to this
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Jizzylax:
That's what I was hoping for. I guess when I said devs I should have just specified you. :p
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Yeah but what are you going to change in this ROM when you will make a custom ROM out of it? I was wondering if you can make the app drawer just slide normally without having the pages like in SkyRaider Zeus. And if you can remove the recent apps in the notification bar.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
i would update this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1347701 to this base

When I try to install this with ClockworkMod Recovery it aborts the installation.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Will I lose S-Off?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
if you arent comfortable flashing the RUU, wait for roms based off of it
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I still can't get a download to last .. any other sources for this file?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] vonhinkle:
Yay!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
You guys want me to upload to 4shared?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk842018:
You won't loose s-off,but will loose custom recovery, you would have to fast boot a new recovery.img,

Can we get a MD5 since some people are having trouble downloading it?

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
So we won't lose S-OFF.. we lose the custom recovery which is an easy fix.. what about root? Sorry about the question just want to be sure.. you know how we all are.. always wanting the latest and greatest!! Where is andybones on this? LoL...

Decided to go ahead anyway.. still S-Off after flashing .. but won't boot.. Stuck at splash screen ... Yay.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Just wanted to ask after installing the ROM, how do you get back your Custom Recovery back?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I'm just going to flash the apk for 4ext touch recovery... if I ever boot up again.... So far it's not looking good for me.. Flashed sever times in hboot and nothing.. Doesn't go beyond the white htc logo splash screen .. unless I've done something wrong.. I renamed the file to PG32IMG.zip and flashed in hboot..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
I have the same problem, its not going passed the white HTC logo splash screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Awesome...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Do you have any knowledge of how I can go around and fixing my phone now? Or is it bricked?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] gaby04:
have you tried flashing recovery with fastboot ?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I'm working on this now.. will post an update soon... Still, why won't it boot?? I'm confused.. it's simply an RUU .. I personally have flashed these before with zero issue before.. even Chinese sources..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
Yeah I did. Got Custom Recovery now thanks, although its the old v4.0.1.4 one.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Have you successfully booted yet?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
I am restoring my old backup. And I wasn't able to boot into this RUU.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
A dev want to chime in on this?? Why can't we boot this??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
Havent looked at it yet so idk

Is it signed?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Well.. the zip says it's signed.. how to verify justin?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MAXIMATOR:
I flash this rom and phone become RUIM :) GSM not working in this rom.

If any body want, I can upload backup of CWR of this rom.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
That would be great, but would the MD5 sums match up then? And can you root it and then make a CWR?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
WHY WON'T THIS WORK!!!!!!!

/edit

What ever is going on.. at least for me.. after I do all this and I don't boot.. I FASTBOOT recovery.img and once I'm in I get all kinds of errors.. Specifically the error that 4EXT is giving is ..

Thoughts?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
What are you trying to do right now?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Right now I'm flashing a rom that I know works and wait and see what happens with this RUU.. but just noticed that error message in recovery...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dirtsky:
I wonder if the radio would do any good for us Verizon users?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Not sure.. flashed a stable rom and I have no connection to data at all.. try to *228 and shows null and "call was lost" ... GREAT..

Yeah ill fix mine tomorrow
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
Installed fine for me. used the 4share mirror and downloaded in 15 mins. copied file to sdcard, renamed and installed without error. i was coming off of andybones stock. FWIW. i do have missing prl and pri. might need to flash a different radio. that was the first thing that got updated.

edit: im able to make calls no problem. weird. still says pri and prl unavailable
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Un1c0de:
You should be able to extract the rom.zip from the RUU zip file and then run it through the kitchen. Add root and do whatever additional stuff you want then flash that.

If you're not sure how to do that, I'de wait until nitsuj can rebase his rom.

EDIT: Just finished downloading and this zip file actually contains the images, so you can use the zip file directly in the kitchen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Excuse my ignorance here justin.. I just want to be certain... Should I try this?

This right?? I just don't want to lose root/s-off.. I used Revolutionary so I think it's permanent ... Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk842018:
Yes you will not loose s-off. CS even has a return to stock pg32img it will take u to unrooted stock with out changing hboot. Have you tried this?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1599767
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I'm flashing the RUU first... if that doesn't work then yes.. I'll revert it back 100% stock and see what happens..

Edit: Booting..... Fixed?

Re-Activating Inc2 on my VZW account.. Fixed yet?

FIXED!!!!!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] anubis2k3:
Any chance someone can post a rooted version if this? I'd try it myself but I lack the necessary equipment (i.e. a computer :p). Please!?!? :D:D:D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Relay:
S-OFF is forever
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
s-off is forever but flashing this RUU locks the bootloader and you cannot flash custom recovery and consequently, SU binaries to gain root. It was simple enough to fix, if you feel like signing up for the unlock program at HTCDev. I downloaded the unlock code from HTCDev and was able to flash custom recovery then SU binaries. Maybe there was an alternative method but I couldn't figure it out. At any rate, I'm rooted and happily rocking an Official Sense 3.0 android 2.3.6 ROM on my Inc2!! Now if there were only any custom skins for Sense 3.0 w/ 2.3.5+ . . . :rolleyes:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Not sure, the status of my bootloader hasn't changed at all through all of this ... still unlocked.. either way, I'm going to have to wait for justin or andybones to get this flashable for all.. It just won't run on my phone as is which is bizarre !!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
Maybe try flashing Andybones stock first, then Flash this RUU via fastboot? I was already on Andybones stock and all I did was rename the RUU "PG32IMG.zip", then moved it to the root of my SDCARD and let fastboot do it's thing. The first thing the update did was flash a new radio and hboot. At that point, the phone rebooted and my bootloader showed as "***locked***" but was still s-off. The update then proceeded to flash all partitions (e.g.; boot, recovery, system, userdata)

EDIT: the screenshot is cut off but if you click on it you can see the whole thing.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jakob95:
I just downloaded it and restored to it, and my phone is stuck on the HTC screen...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Another turn for the strange... When I flashed this via fastboot... Mine showed something completely different.. Well maybe not completely different.. I'll try and get a shot of it.. but I had 1-7 steps and a couple said "skipped" so... I don't know what is going on.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MAXIMATOR:
may be need to update HBOOT. Backup is 100% working ....
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Before:

After Flash:

---- WON'T BOOT AT THIS POINT ----

Fastboot Display -After Flash-
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
Have you checked MD5 of your download and all that good stuff? The RUU will definitely flash a new radio and hboot -it's the very first thing that happens. Then the phone reboots automatically, goes back into fastboot and flash's all the partitions. Doesn't seem like your getting past the first step if your radio and hboot remain unchanged.

EDIT: Derp, just noticed your radio did in fact change, just not the hboot. That must be your issue. Maybe has something to do with the custom, revolution hboot.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I thought I took a shot of it flashing but I guess I didn't .. but it says "Bypassed" for hboot..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
I have a hunch that it thinks your hboot is newer due to the version numbering and it's bypassing the hboot upgrade. Which, it turn, prevents the ROM upgrade from occurring.

At any rate, I'm almost 99% sure that data is not working with this radio. I can make calls but no data. I even provisioned my phone by dialing *228 and it was successful. I'm going to try to flash the .1111 Radio. Is your phone working alright with the radio? Looking at your screen shots, it looks like your radio did upgrade from 1.09.01.1111 to 1.25.30.0103.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
Not sure.. had to flash the stock RUU in order to get my phone functioning.. Radio is now 1.09.01.1111 ...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
thats because you ran the RUU..

if you wanted to keep the radio,

you could have flashed custom recovery, (either thru fastboot, or hboot.)

then flash a nandroid.

u r still s-off, and have the same hboot. the radio shouldnt prevent your phone from booting up AFAIK, you may not get good signal or data (or any at all) though will the new radio, u can however flash back to the stock ruu radio, by flashing in hboot(since we are s-off) instead of running ruu.

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

will someone pull the radio from this china RUU and post it please, so i can try it out on rom im already on. (unless that is what u already did slacka?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blazingwolf:
Here you go. http://www.4shared.com/zip/DVBWeDz7/radioimg.html

Now if I can just get this darn stock kernel to boot after I root it. :/ I've got the #21 kernel from drellisdee working but I have no phone capability with it. :(
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
thanks man!

well just loaded up this radio on skyraider v1.3, 3g works, calls work
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] slacka-vt:
Nope, I flashed the RUU, the whole RUU and nothing but the RUU. Data is borked even after flashing the .1111 radio. Must be the ROM and not the radio. Says "No SIM" and for Carrier it says "No UIM card". Phone calls work fine though. I got a nand to restore but I don't mind the data for now.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
mine was also bypassed...let me flash back to stock. i actaully remember that being bypassed as well...yet it flashes..1 sec

edit: well i plugged my phone in via usb, and i turned it on. within about 20 seconds it shut off and tried to put itself into a recovery, but there is none on here. i opened up revolutionary, and in hboot, fastboot, and now in this blank recovery, my device isnt recognized in either. still thinking what to do...

edit again:nvm fastboot recognizes it...let me flash the gingerbread ruu

okay, back on the gingerbread ruu (stock) /edit
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
yea.

it's not the radio, as I'm using it now on skyraider.

it is working pretty well too..

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] x Eacott:
when i tried the ruu, my bootloader was bypassed, and it seems to be those who have successfully flashed it, the bootloader wasn't bypassed? if thats what is correct
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I wonder now if the radio is in fact the issue?? I am running your stock rom andy and pushed the radio posted via fastboot and I can't connect to Verizon.. "No Service" at all... I have a signal showing.. but no connection/service ... would it be the radio or rom? Should I test this theory by flashing Skyraider?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sswb27:
I flashed the radio.img and its working fine on my end, not noticing any better or worse signal tho. Oh and I'm on cm9 ROM.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] wdfowty:
If you have issues booting, the ramdisk is trying to mount a lib partition instead of just mounting /system.

mount ext3 emmc@system /system rw data=ordered
mkdir /system/lib 0771 system system
devwait emmc@lib
mount ext3 emmc@lib /system/lib ro data=ordered
mount ext3 emmc@system /system remount ro
devwait emmc@userdata

I just added the BOOTCLASSPATH from the new ramdisk to andy's stock boot.img and boom, booted. Camera is having issues, though. I'm investigating.

EDIT:

Found the issue with the camera, have to use the boot.img that comes with the leak.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] jbarcus81:
I can confirm this radio does not work on my phone at all.. I've tried stock based roms, cm9, and cm7 ... No connection at all... Would do a logcat but I feel this is too isolated ... Strange, but what ever.. I'll have to wait for something in the form of a rom and not RUU and see what happens.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] blazingwolf:
I'm there with you. This killed my phone radio some how but darn if I can figure out why.
