Of course yet again, you're the only one something doesn't work for. Everyone else is getting better reception, better gps, faster speeds and somehow yours is laggy. Remics was laggy for you, everything is laggy. I don't even get how a modem.bin could make your system laggy.....

Against my better judgement, I am going to give you a bit of advice. Wipe your SD card. A bad jpg, a bad mp3 can make your whole system laggy every time mediascanner runs, every time it goes to access your SD card, it will access that bad mp3 and slow everything down. Since you get lag on everything, it's either,

A) your phone is crap and you got a bad one for some reason, although doubtful.

B) there is something bad on your SD card.

C) You install every tweak or app or speed thing you find all on one ROM thinking you know what your doing and they end up fighting against each other and actually slowing you down instead .

D) You don't know what you're doing and what lag even is or expect miracles from this phone and should go buy an iphone and never try and customize anything again.

Thanks for the essay. I do want an iPhone. At least it can play a game like temple run without lagging. If the iPhone does become available for T-Mobile, I will be the first one in line. But for now, i have to use this phone. I should've purchased the mytouch 4g. At least it has a camera flash. Thank goodness I only have one more year with this junk. Oh yeah, the Mytouch can run JELLYBEAN

On another note, are you gonna be selling your phone once you switch to the iphone? I'm pretty sure tmob will be selling them within a year since they're doing their network upgrade to support 3G/4G on the iphone's antenna.

Been using the LB6 modem for the last few days. Been working just fine, GPS is quick to lock, etc. The real test for me is if I can get signal from inside my condo. The location of our unit makes for a very weak signal inside. The only modems that were able to keep a signal when the phone is on my desk (like barely 1 bar) are KD1 and KJ6. Once I start moving around, they will lose connection tho. This is also why I'm still on GB, because I HAVE to have wifi calling enabled to use my phone at home.

Well, LB6 can sometimes keep a signal, but it sits on "searching" a lot too. But the funny thing is, even though it was stuck on "searching" for most of the night, it didn't kill the battery like the other modems do when they don't have a signal locked in. This may be why people are reporting better battery life with LB6. It can connect sometimes though, just not consistently like KJ6. But It seems great everywhere else.

I will probably switch back to KJ6 because of my condo issue, but I really like LB6 and will give it another couple of days.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] gizmoscoop:
When I flashed mine, it was laggy as well. Just reboot into recovery, do a davik wipe and fix permission. It should fix the lag problem. However, I still do notice a bit of lag on Remics. Reverted to kj6 from Fbis solved the lag issue.

Today I had some problems receiving long SMS messages that had been sent from AT&T iPhones. I was just able to receive them on KG4.

I've also had some problems not getting MMS messages when sent to a group from AT&T iPhones. I can't confirm that the problem was related to LB6.

Since I've only got a couple data points on the long SMS reception, I can't say that it is a consistent problem with LB6.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
I noticed I had a few calls drop out on me when using LB6.. But not the typical dropped call - it's like the whole phone crashed and restarted at the desktop. The launcher had to re-load, and then it had to scan the SD card for media, like when you first reboot the phone.

Don't know if it's just me though. But I can't say I've seen that on a GB modem, and it happened a few times on LB6. I switched back to KJ6 about 2 weeks ago, and it hasn't happened since.

Cant' flash the Modem file with Heimdall - T959W Wind phone

Hi Getochkn,

Did you find a way to flash the modem eventually?

Here is my situation: my friend got this T959W Wind phone from ebay and noticed the SDCard (internal&external) didn't work. Instead of returning the phone he tried a few hoping to fix the issue but got the phone into bootloop. I was able to flash your T959WPackage.tar.gz with Heimdall-frontend but as you explained it will only boot but no SIM/WiFi. Since the SDCard still doesn't work, I can't use any CWM to flash any ROM or tweaks.

I tried the Heimdall oneclick (T959VUVKJ6_STOCK-UVKJ6-One-Click.jar) and it failed at the Modem part (phone will boot and get me the WiFi, one step further than the T959WPacakge). I tried all the ODIN flash (e.g. T959VUVKJ6-REV00-home-low-CL694130.tar.md5) and they all failed after "NAND... Got response form LOKE ... failed".

I tried to make my own Heimdall package out of your "T959WPackage.tar.gz" by unpacking it and adding the LB6 modem.bin file and editing your firmware.xml to include the modem.bin in partition 11 and packing it again. It still failed at the "upload Modem" step (same as the One-click Heimdall method).

The SDCard issue might be not-fixable so my first priority is to get the SIM Card working. If there is any way to flash the modem into the phone, pls advice. Sorry for the long text. I hope I have explained the situation clearly.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
You could probably use ADB and push the modem package and flash from internal.

The SD card is actually on a separate PCB that connects with a cable, so you might be able to find a replacement out there. The SIM/SD card are on there as the speaker but the speaker is removable from there.

Other than that, I have not found a way to make Heimdall flash the modem. Even the Heimdall creator was stumped.

How to "flash" from internal

would anyone please provide steps/instructions on how an "internal flash" is done?

1. is it in normal mode or recovery mode?

2. only need the modem.bin file or other files?

3. what is the command/syntax?

4. what is the destination? The root file system is readonly. Does it go to /system or things like that?

Thx.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
I don't know if the Kernel that comes with the stock package supports busybox in the the recovery mode or not. I can try later if I have time but probably won't until Sunday. I would basically try to recreate what the modem flashing script which is in any of the modems from ADB if busybox support is there. Pretty sure it could be done a different way if busybox isn't supported as long as the recovery lets you ADB in, but again, I'm pressed for time till Sunday.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esgs:
Thanks getochkn. I can wait :)

The T959WPackage.tar.gz came with CWM. I checked in Recovery mode that I can ADB and also there is busybox inside already.

With the T959V oneclick, there is no CWM. I do get WiFi with this though.

Have a good weekend!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
untested and roughly from my head and modem flashing script. Put the modem.bin in the same folder as ADB

adb push modem.bin /tmp
adb shell

busybox mkdir -p /radio
busybox umount /radio
erase_image radio
busybox mount /dev/block/mtdblock6 /radio
busybox rm -f /radio/modem.bin
busybox mv /tmp/modem.bin /radio/modem.bin
busybox chmod 0775 /radio/modem.bin

exit 0

EDIT scrape the above and hold on for a sec, that is probably for only MTD based ROMS and stock is BML I believe.

EDIT 2: I think the only difference needed would be change the mount to dev/block/bml12 to access the modem BML partition but I'm not sure. I'm way out of my league on my knowledge of this and this is all off the skin of my pants. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
That's why its out of my league. lol. I'm not sure what to do next. Hopefully someone who's an ADB expert can chime in and solve it in 2 seconds or I'll do some poking and testing on the weekend.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esgs:
if you search the modem.bin (assume this is only one file in phone after "flashing" that will enable the SIM function) and show me where it is, it might help. In adb:

cd /

find . -name modem.bin -follow -print

I don't have much knowledge on how the custom ROM is built/flashed. Currently there is no /radio folder in my phone. If we manually create it and mount a file system there and push the "modem.bin" file there, after reboot, the /radio folder will be gone (the modem.bin file might still hide in the device). I mean any changes need to be persistent - the change will be redone when reboot. so the change script needs to be in init.rc or other scripts that will be auto-executed when reboot. Anyone can share how I can open a ROM image to detail level so that I can make changes to individual files (such as init.rc) and then repackage into a new ROM?

On the /sdcard issue, once I figured out how to make the root filesystem read/write, I tried to make it work by changing the /sdcard symbolic link to a folder in /data/fake_sdcard, hoping the "google play"/Camera etc will recognize this /sdcard as a working place, but unfortunately they still don't work(insisting on an SDCard be inserted). Obviously once the SDCard is made available at /sdcard, there is a flag somewhere that indicates SDCard is present. Of course this maneuvor (/sdcard -> /data/fake_sdcard) will be gone after reboot because it's not persistent.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Sounds kind of like you might have copied modem.bin to /modem instead of /modem/modem.bin which is why it can't create the /modem directory. rm /modem and then you should be able to create the folder. Just make sure your folder exists before you try to push it... that's the reason for the two-step process, I believe...

By the way, the symptom of SIM not working is when you select "settings->wireless&network->mobile network" it says "Insert SIMvard", so the phone is not recognizing the SIM card. (the SIM worked on this phone before it went wrong). Not sure if the missing "modem.bin" file alone will fix the thing or there are other things need to be fixed as well.

thx.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Sounds like it needs that remount rw. Tried throwing in the line you had above

to see if that made it work? Because both 'no space left' and 'operation not permitted' sound like RO file system.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esgs:
I added the rw for rootfs.otherwise I wouldnt be able to create /radio folder. I will try to add rw when mount bml12 though.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Goto settings, about and what does it say for baseband? If it says unknown, which it should, it may ask for a sim.

Give me 5 mins, just figured out how to flash the BML modem from adb, just need to copy my commands down.........
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Ok, grab the 2nd file from the first post of this thread. It is the CM7/GB one, not the first one.

Extract the zip and in the update folder, there is 2 files, redband_ua and modem.bin

Copy them both and put them in your ADB folder.

next are the commands to run. The phone can even be booted, as I'm doing it from a booted mode and not recovery.

adb shell

mount -t rootfs -o rw -o remount rootfs /

exit

adb push redband_ua /tmp

adb push modem.bin /tmp

adb shell

cd /tmp

chmod 755 *

exit

adb shell "/tmp/redbend_ua restore /tmp/modem.bin /dev/block/bml12"

When it's done, reboot the phone and a modem should be flashed and baseband should say something something LB6. If that works and it picks up the SIM (may take a few minutes the first time, you can play with other modems from here, http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamacid/files/fb/modems/cwm/)

Now I think the only thing to do is get WIFI going for you if this works correct?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esgs:
Modem working!!

Hey getochkn,

It works. Thx so much.

Looking back now, this cmd was in the lb6....zip pkg, the update-script file!

Now for WiFi, the T959V pkg works on my phone but it's not rooted so I can't do the same trick from there. Any ideas? Maybe we can grab something from that pkg into the T959W pkg.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
The W package should be rooted, recovery kernel, just no wifi that needs the wifi change. What package did you use? The one with the team acid green logo at start correct?

And yup, nothing fancy, just command wise way to do what the update script does manually. Just needed 15 spare mins to actually try it. lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
Wifi fix is easy. Just download https://raw.github.com/teamacid/unnamed-bhundven-edition/master/system/etc/wifi/wifi.conf that, save it to adb folder, repeat above step to make file system writeable, and push the wifi.conf to /system/etc/wifi/

EDIT: ok, that doesn't work. lol.

EDIT2: mount -t /system -o rw -o remount /system run that in shell to mount system as writeable then push the wifi.conf
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] esgs:
WiFi now works too. the key is to know what files to update (and to find the proper/original files), and you have the "key"!

Now the /sdcard thing. It didn't work when we got the phone so it's possible that it's hardware issue. Currently the issue is the /dev/block/mmcblk0 (mmcblk0p1/2, mmcblk1) doesn't exist. If it's not hardware issue, then we need to figure out how to get this device file(s) created properly.

At least the phone is working - not smartphone but a phone at least.

Thank you so much, getochkn. Appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] getochkn:
When you ran either of the packages, all those partition would have been recreated with heimdall applied the files, so if it's not there, it could be hardware. Have you taken it apart and looked inside, although the SIM/SD card are on the same PCB as is the speaker and if all those things work, it's not a cable and probably the board.
