Does anyone know how to make up a modem zip file..? I'd like to bundle up the SRJV1 modem and make it available. Is there a guide? I flashed it on mine by extracting the modem.bin file and flashing that with the darkyrom tool.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] 6i9:
Is there an app or something which 'tests' the modem I am using and produces results for me to compare? Maybe some sort of diagnostics test. This would give a proper measure than just reading bars on the phone.

Amazing gps.

Awesome h/3g connection and speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Hey mate, in your APN settings do you have BOTH the yesinternet and MMS in your lists?

I have the VirginInternet at the mo and have been doing some reading, but no one says if they have both sets like as on ausdroid.net/apn

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xchasa:
I did not add virgin settings on jvr this time. Just Optus yesinternet and separate Optus mms settings. Was good but after adding jv1 Optus modem the connection is so good.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
jv1 or jvn1?

edit: Think I may have answered this one myself, just d/l the fw from samfirmware and saw that jv1 as in the title, so assume thats the modem file :)

Hey Ziggy, I tested this and got this message:

Long time troll'er first time poster here.

I'm finding that the JV1 modem works really well. Good battery too.

I'm also on the Optus network and a speedtest while at work (crappy 3G coverage) shows 121ms ping, 1364kbps down, 1122kbps up.

I'm on Goatrip 3.0 JVQ at the moment. I had also installed this modem on Goatrip 4.0 which is JVR, worked just as well. I'm on JVQ at the moment due to trying to run unsupported kernel on 4.0.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ivegottheskill:
I'm with Optus in Sydney and have tried tons of modems. In my opinion the best with 3G connection and speed has been JL2. Best with battery consumption has been JPE. I tended to stick to JPY though as I found it to give good speed (maybe only slightly slower than JL2), but better GPS locks in my opinion.

I'm currently testing the latest Optus 2.3.3 one (SRJV1), so far so good, but I'll give it a week

Samfirmware.com has all the stock firmwares.

Honestly I9000XWJS3 is the fastest stock firmware without any lagfixes. there is a XWJS5 but on my tests it seems to be just as fast as Eclair.

Depending on which network provider you are with you may need to change your modem. I'm running the I9000BUJP5 Modem at the moment on Virgin and it seems very good.

If your on Telstra you need a modem that runs ok on 850MHz I think UGJL2 works.

Here are some modems to choose from:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bluephantom3:
It might be just the battery that is dead and the rest of the phone just needs power to get back into the download mode.

what were you flashing onto your phone that made it freeze for an hour. honesly I couldn't wait that long before pulling the plug.

If it sat there for an hour trying to do something maybe it overheated and burnt out your processor. If that is the case then yes it is bricked for sure.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rolyb:
Na its bricked battery was fully charged, Is ok I have a new one now,

[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
No worries, just a wondering where the file came from, some of the 'issues' with the SGS seem to lie with packages that are not English, so you have to work out things before you start, using the rom kitchen at least allows you to make sure you have the right CSC and Modem for Australia, then at least your baseband is right to start with.

I had done it via the Kies Hack but my phone had poor reception and went flat in 6hrs (though a factory reset would of fixed that.. i think)

That's becuase unofficial JVR only has Korea code for country of origin.

You can flash the XSA CSC.tar file that was uploaded on previous page via ODIN.

This CSC is from JVQ official so contains country codes.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nchc:
1) use the search feature

2) download xsa CSC, either the cwm zip or odin tar files (links on page 100, just one page back)

3) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=939752

or if the rom you are using already has xsa csc then download nitrality app to change csc to xsa

Last modified:

Latest firmware:

I9000XWJVN/I9000XSAJV5/I9000XXJVQ/I9000XWJVN

via http://fus.nanzen.se

Interestingly enough, the unbranded rom comes with the JVQ modem instead of the SRJV1 modem.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ghosty7:
JVQ modem is best all round for me so far, as it can be used with all opertators including nextG 850 band. I am using it on nextG myself and always full bars.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Majestyk:
Anybody on JVR? How do you rate modem; any better/worse/same as JVP/JVQ?

I'm on Optus network and just flashed JVR the other day. Seems fine and signal looks same as JVP which I came from. But still I've heard arguments about modems drawing too much power even if reception is fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mothatt:
In my opinion, the difference between different modems is minimal. I'm using JVR atm, only because it is the latest...

Note that I have not done any formal or informal testing. Just that I have not noticed any major differences in battery consumption or signal strength between different modem versions.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sencafe:
Reception is good on most modems. What I found on JV1 is that my GPS is much quicker to acquire satellites.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mr Majestyk:
Interesting, I might try JV1 just for the GPS. Mine's pretty good, I think the longest it's taken to acquire lock is 1 minute or so, much better than my Tom Tom 340. Also I have installed faster fix to see if that helps even more.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] r!nch:
I actually found JVQ much more stable than JVR. To be fair that might've been due to user error.

I've now retrograded to the stock release JVN, which is already noticeably better in stability.

On that note, has anyone rooted this yet? I've been using CF-root. Is it safe to use one of those kernels with the XSA JVN?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sencafe:
Please post your results. I just did a test while sitting at the computer. I activated GPS through the Notification Bar and started Navigon. From start of blinking GPS symbol on notification bar it took 17 seconds to acquire satellites. My comp is not next to windows but it is on second floor of the house.

Want to root Samsung Galaxy S I9000 - Newbee

Hi Guys,

I've read so much on this forum (re: rooting SGS)... that as of now, I'm totally confused ! with what I have to download for my particular I9000. To give some history ..... I've recently upgraded from 2.2 Froyo to 2.3.3 Gingerbread via the official Kies upgrade .. that presumably OPTUS put out.

I'm brand new at this ! and want to make sure that I use the appropriate method & software .... to initially root my phone so that I am able to use Titanium Backup etc; and would like to flash one of the custom ROMS at a

later stage

(say 2.3.4).

I have attached a photo of my current firmware so you can see exactly what's installed, the confusing thing for me is that it refers to XXJVQ & XWJVN ?? so I'm not sure of what rooting file etc; I need. I know it will be pretty obvious to you guy's and you'll think I'm a "pratt" for asking .... but I guess you've got to start somewhere !!

Would really appreciate a detailed "HowTo" or any other info .... thanks in advance ....

cheers Brian
[Galaxy S I9000 General] beaver2233:
Your current rom or firmware is JVN (2.3.3) and your modem (baseband) is JVQ...your best bet if you want to use custom roms in the future is to update to the latest stock firmware....see this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1195335

this is the latest 2.3.4 JVR firmware...this is flashed using the program Odin (note: it will wipe your phone of all apps, messages and settings). Read the first and third posts in that thread. Once updated you will be able to flash a custom kernel (links also in first page) which automatically roots your phone :) for any questions just ask.

dude okay, search for one click root on google, theres an exec thatll adb it into recovery and install the update.zip thats required.

search for i9000xxjm1, open odin while in dL mode, flash that firmware with bootloader update, then from there u probably want to dl rom manager, flash cwm, then dl some rroms (best by far is cyanogenmod7) then just choose to install it via rom manager.

if you want a custom kernel just install that over the TOP of cyanogen, same with the xsa or any modem u prefer. that being said though jvk is still the best modem for battery and data speeds

So after months and months of resisting CM7 due to the battery issues and improving Samsung roms, I've finally bitten the bullet and installed CM7 nightlie 104. Yes the battery does drain a bit more and yes it didn't last the whole day (no doubt my constant fiddling with it reduced the battery life a fair bit). All I can say is that CM7 is awesome. It's very smooth, fast, nicer in every way compared to JVR insert-rom-here. Installed MOBO player, handcent sms and flash 10.3, phone is as good as gold. Of and installed JV1 modem too. GPS and reception works just like JV1 modem installed on JVQ/JVR.

Edit... I have been flashing roms form XDA since the days of Tayutama and DocRambone Eclair roms. Obviously Samsung roms have come a long way but the flexibility and smoothness of CM7 is just cool.

Hey guys,

This is my first time posting, and also my first time wanting to root my SGS.

Refer to attached file for my phone specs.

I want to Root this phone as it has it's random lagg, home screen stays black for about 3-4 secs when im in the app window or coming out of an app.

Not sure what would be the best root, I don't know if being in Australia (Western Suburbs in Sydney) we need to use a specific ROM.

Is there a tutorial I can follow or instructions? I searched here and YouTube and they all seem to be American or Erupoean?

Thanks guys in advanced for your replies.:cool:

Does anyone know how to root jv6 rom. I cant find a root for it and i really like this rom
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbutcher91:
dont bother trying to root the latest rom, use odin to flasg BACK ti an old rom to root it then flash to jvr.. or just use cyanogenmod 7 which is better
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbutcher91:
matador you'll want a program call odin 3 1.7, and find the firmware version with old bootloader 2e to be safe, may aswell go with i9000xxjm1, then there is a one click root for the galaxy s, just make sure you dont get the at&t one click root like i did cayse youll enter a world of trouble, only fixable with a jig :/ there are videos how to use odin, make sure u check bootloader update though.

once your rooted get rom manager and in the app flash the relevant clockworkmod to your device.

then you can copy any rom you want onto the sd card, open rom manager and install rom through there

imo the best rom to go with is cyanogenmod 7, it absolutely expands the customisation amd awesomeness of android.

then if you want, search for glitch kernel v12 and download the i9000 version, it makes the phone a fload faster and smoother, and does worlds for the battery life, display screen undervolting for example.

ive got my galaxy s clocked at 1.5ghz completey stable and getting 3000 on quadrant, this is the BEST setup atm for a galaxy s, and battery lasts a hell of a lot.longer than stock firmware and most roms
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbutcher91:
if you get glitch kernel you can dramatically undervolt the phone while stable, and the kernel itself does wonders for battery, advise including data toggle in the power widget notification bar, an app called screen filter, set it at 50% and forget about it, battery will extend by 20%, obviously keep your brightness at 0, also if u get kernel interactiveX governor does wonders for battery
