Anyone know of a froyo modem that will allow the 850 when used on our I9000m???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bochap2010:
If *#272*HHMM# doesnt work for you and you are on Froyo ROM, U can try

*#272*IMEI# where IMEI is the imei of your phone , u get it by using *#06#.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tb5...:
i recently flashed my phone to darkys 3.0 froyo rom...

entered *#*#0011#*#*

and i see that i only have 'WCDMA1900 Band 2'

nowhere do i see 850

i guess this means i lost it?

what is the plus side of having this?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmack:
this just means that its your current band, nothing more nothing less.

check it from time to time to see if u ever get 850 wcdma :) it might still be intact!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxgg:
Another alternative method that worked for me is to use the guide from this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=799810

to flash straight to JH2 (Bell's latest Official firmware).

Than follow the advice of the original poster's step below...

Open the dialer and enter *#272*xxxx#

The above x's are the current time. So for 2:15pm, you would enter 0215.

Select BMC and then Install.

Phone will auto reboot and do it's thing and boot back up.

Now, all I had to do was to re-enter APN to work with Rogers Wireless Network.

---

This is the method I have used to recover my 850MHz band back.

I know I have said my 850MHz was all working and well before but I was playing with Doc_Kalpik V6 rom which caused it to loose 850MHz, I guess 850MHz band was totally missing as 850MHz 2G/EDGE wasn't even working. But 3G/H/EDGE all worked only on 1900MHz band.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
So, I'm a little confused. I flashed v6 of Doc/Kalpik's rom a few days ago (running gt-i9000m on SaskTel), and don't seem to have the 850 band, just 1900-which is working fine so far. Now, if I want the 850 band back as well, can I just use *#272*IMEI#, select BWA, and presto, I have the 850 band back? My understanding would be no, because the there are no froyo radios yet, correct?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
in my case te only way to keep 850 3g was to use BOTH the bell jh2 modem and CSC...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
So what's the disadvantage of not having the 850? So far, everything seems to be working fine with just the 1900 band
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
Doc and Kalpik's roms with the jpm modem will allow you to use the 850 band. If you use the jh2 modem with JP6 the modem will not talk to the software properly and it will report 100% no signal all the time. The device will also not sleep properly, you battery life will stink. It will also leave your wifi on all the time.

You need to get into the band selection menu and select the 1900 band only, then go to combi and select the 850 to add. That will give you 850 band back.

If your on a network that uses the 850 band as a primary band such as Bell then your 850 band is very important. It is the frequency that travels through buildings and such. If you don't have it your signal will be very susceptible to dropping out. When ever these devices detect no signal the battery consumption increases and if your lucky it will place you into airplane mode automatically.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
Thanks! Odd thing though. I did like you said, and now it shows 1900 and 850 active under WCDMA. I then unselected 1900, leaving just 850. No change in my signal, but when I check my GSM status, it still says I'm on 1900. Am I missing something here? From my understanding, the only frequency I was allowing it to use was 850
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
Re-set it exactly a you did and periodically check it while your out and about.

Use the gsm status in sgs tools.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
Will do. Thanks for the assist. I've been reading multiple threads for a few days now, and this is the most concise answer I've seen regarding this. I had no idea the JPM modem included 850 already. Again, thanks a lot
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
No worries. The JPM modem can handle 850 but with the i9000m modem it doesn't seem to auto select it. Cheers.

Hey, I've went to the Preconfig page and i was selected on the XEE sales code.

i'm currently on jpm and i don't see any "BMC" that i can select and install. any help?

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
So, just because it was bugging me, I flashed back to JH2, which was my original firmware, and checked the band selection screen (*#2263#) there. Same thing, WCDMA 850 was unchecked. Went to combi band section, checked it off, then went to gsm status (*#0011#), and still only showing WCDMA 1900. I must just be in an area where 850 coverage is poor.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer23d:
You must have used Doc's firmware which defaults to XEE. I am looking into this as well and no answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
Your in an area where 1900 is strong, once the phone detects a weak 1900 signal it will switch to 850. Trust me, if 850 is important where you live then you will know right away if its not working.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] $lacker:

You are awesome
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terranq:
OK, playing around again tonight and I noticed something weird. If I enable only 850, I get full bars, but my phone says "emergency calls only", and if I try to dial out, I get "no data connection". If I go into Wireless and Network>Mobile Networks>Network operators, it searches and finds one listing, "SaskTel". If I choose this (which is my operator), it takes a while and then either gives me a "please try again later" message or "your sim card does not allow a connection to this network".

If I choose both 850 and 1900 in the band selection screen (combi band) and repeat the same steps, I now have four listings for SaskTel when I look under Network operators. If I choose the first one, everything works fine (but only on 1900 according to gsm status). If I choose the second one, I get the same errors as stated in my first paragraph. If I chose the third one, I have full connection, everything works, but it says I'm roaming (?), and if I choose the fourth one, it just times out and tells me to try again later.

So something is apparently not allowing my phone to connect on the 850 band. As I stated earlier, I flashed to Doc_Kalpik v6 rom. Can I use the *#272*IMEI# trick to restore my CSC to BWA to fix this issue? Alternatively, my nv_data.bin says I9000HKAXEE, but my nv_data.bak says I9000HKABWA. Can I somehow restore this backup, and will that solve my 850 band issue?

edit:

Nope, changing the csc just soft bricked it. So, I reflashed back to JH2, and noticed the same behaviour. I'm beginning to think SaskTel doesn't have their 850 band up yet. I know they've reported that the reception will not be good in buildings until the end of the year when the full network is up, which is making me lean towards this. That would also explain why I get the message that my sim card is not allowed to connect-if they are currently just testing 850 in my area, only certain sims would be approved to operate on it. Back on Doc/Kalpik v 6 and leaving well enough alone for the time being

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delly47:
question with odin... do i need pda, phone and csc files, or just the pda?

i can flash to jpc with all those files, and it at least gets the animated S, but then goes black with the lit up soft keys at the bottom, ive been reading in the bell internal sd thread, and it looks like i will have to send it in to get repairs, because its corrupt

i get that

cant mount internal sd card error

"cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1"

so im guessing my phone is effed

i'll try jh2 i guess, another guy sent me a combination of pda/phone/csc files that worked for him.

All you need is the official JH2 rom file which is one file only. It will flash the pda, modem and csc within that one file. You should also use the 512 pit file and select repartition.

"cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" doesn't mean that your broken for sure. We have seen it come up and have been able to recover without an issue.

Have you flashed JH2 with the official rom file and the 512 pit file file with repartition selected...?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delly47:
for sure. im guessing my internal sd has crapped out. i havent found a fix yet,

or a combination or roms, that works
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opensourcefan:
What would be interesting to try is if you had a kernal with clockwork as well as a flashable rom file on board. Either way if you have tried flashing JH2 a couple of times then you may have a total corruption on your hands. JH2 though is kinda the magical rom, seems to fix a lot of issues.

Try it again, JH2 with a 512 pit with repartition selected using Odin 1.3 maybe re-download the files and start fresh, if it's wrecked then you may as well have fun trying to flash everything.

This method worked for me. However, soon after my back button started randomly activating on it's own every 5 seconds. I'm not suggesting this "fix" caused it, but I couldn't figure out how to fix the back button and now I'm sending my phone back.

Just had to redo this after flashing from Spike's OC Rom to Doc's. Watch out people and I recommend anyone that has had this problem to favorite this topic because it might just happen again.. Also I'm going back to Spike's OC Rom, I never got any problems with it until I switched.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dice62:
Hey all,

I have Doc's 7.5 JPO rom on my phone.

PDA: I9000XXKPO

Phone: I9000XXJPM

CSC: I9000XAJPO

I'm using the EXT4 Lagfix.

The product code I have is the BMC one from bell, and the JPM modem from Doc, which I was told should have the 850 band.

I'm running on the Rogers network and I seem to have lost the 850Mhz band.

When I go to band selection, WCDMA 1900 works, but if I choose 850 only, I get no signal. In GSM status, it only shows 1900 enabled, and when I enter buildings or go underground, my signal drops from 4 bars to nothing.

I have downloaded the earlier CSC and Modem a poster uploaded for JH2 I believe.

Can I flash these through CWM or only from Odin?

Is there a way to gain the 850MHz back without having to return to the old firmware and losing all my data?

I basically want to stay using Doc's rom, because it is significantly faster than the stock one I used. My issue is that just 2 days ago I had the 850 band, and my signal everywhere was strong, but then it just disappeared, my signal in buildings is nonexistent.

I haven't changed any settings in the last couple days, so it came out of nowhere. I think the only change I did in the last week was changing from the stock modem Doc's 7.5 JPO uses to the JPM modem as the earlier poster stated that it has the 850MHz band.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony604:
I just installed docs 7.6 JPO on my i9000m, and it's working great with 850. I did check to make sure it actually connected to the 850 band, and indeed it is. The latest JPO has the JPP modem which supports 850. Try upgrading the base firmware to the latest one. There is a tutorial in the Docs rom thread in the dev section about upgrading.

Previous to installing docs rom, I had installed the official JPA, lost 850, then took a chance and tried to flash just the modem firmware from JH2 on top of UK JPA. It promptly gave me the "corrupt SD" error after rebooting. I took it to a shop to get fixed. $75 later, I got my phone back with JH2 on it. I then flashed the latest docs rom and it's working great so far. Much better/smoother/faster than stock JH2. I love my phone again! Hopefully I won't have the corrupt sd error again. Got it fixed once, I'm sure I can get it fixed again if that happened again. What's another $75?? :D

So tried it yet again and nothing.

Enter code. See the Product Code - XEE.

See BMC option, Select it, Green dot lights up to confirm selection.

Click install, and nothing happens. Like the button does nothing, no visual feedback. Leave the phone, it never reboots.

When I try the *#0011* code, i get nothing. just a blank screen. Doesn't show any bands. Phone is on network tho but the signal bar is low. Which means 1900 in my basement.

worked like a charm. Just a note to everyone else, that you HAVE to flash back to install BMC. Just because you are on froyo and you can SELECT 850Mhz, doesn't mean it's working, hence checking by *#0011# as everyone has stated.

Now, if I upgrade to 2.2, I have suspicions that it won't stick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samdroid_G_S:
If you lose your band you can always try the new leaked 2.2 froyo modem for i9000m , there have been reports of users on custom roms who flashed just the modem and they got all there bands back.

I9000M videotron frequencies

Hi, I have a problem with my I9000M running JL2 : voice calls and mobile network aren't working with my videotron sim card!

I guess I need to change the HSPA/UMTS frequecies of the phone from 850/1900/2100 Mhz to Videotron frequencies (1700/2100 MHz --> Band I (2100); Band IV (1700); Band II (1900)

From what I've read in the forums, I have to flash a modem file using Odin in order to change the phone frequencies.

The T-Mobile Vibrant uses 1700/2100 MHz bands... but I'm not sure JL2 has been released in the US, so not sure i can find a compatible modem file...

Galaxy S I9000m

This is my first time on the forum so please excuse any mistakes.

This is for Electroz. I'm an English teacher living in Brazil and bought an I9000 from Europe when one of my students went there. 3G worked fine on Vivo because it uses the 2100 band but after a while I had problems with them and changed to TIM (signed a one year contract) but then found out they only use 850 band in the state where I live!!!

Recently I bought an I9000M from Australia having spent lots of time finding out different specs etc. and was told it had the 850 band. It arrived last week and I cannot get the 850 band to activate! I truely have spent days going through this forum and others, have tried all the *#2263# options but none of them work. My current I9000M was delivered running Froyo 2.2 and has this firmware, PDA:I9000UGJK4, PHONE:I9000XXJPK, I9000BMCJK4. I'm so disappointed and have two phones neither of which connect to the 850 band!

Would you kindly post simple, detailed instructions including where I can locate appropriate files etc so that I can get 850 working. I have used Odin on my previous I9000 to change from Eclair to Froyo, so I feel reasonably comfortable using it but I'm not so technically minded as you guys obviously are. (66 years old and the grey cells are disappearing rapidly!!!). Many thanks.
