Sounds like you've tried several different roms. What is your flashing procedure? Do you apply the factory reset between roms? Have a look at DocRambones kitchen thread. Tricky posted a code to do a full factory reset between rom installs as sometimes fragments from various rom install get left behind and cause havoc. You will however lose everything stored on the internal sd card. If you have a backup, move it to your external card. Or just reinstall your apps.

WOW. I should have asked about my issues 2 weeks ago, I didnt realize you could mix and match Modems, CSC and PDA. Problem solved by above link using UGKG3 Modem adjusting internet APN and presto, just like new:

Thank you for the quick reply and quality answers.......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Richard.p:
Thanks for that:

I was doing a factory reset between ROMS also wipe Dalvik, Batery stats, and Cache . I even tried to wipe all data from internal SD card then install new ROMs Tried Odin and CMW insalls, all with no love.

I then realized can mix and match PDA, Modem and CSC. Problem solved

Hi all,

I've been flashing for a while now, mainly between rom kitchen & darkyrom.

I have reverted back to darky 9.5 for now. I wouldn't consider myself to be very good, but I suppose I am competent enough to not have had any issues so far *touch wood* :-)

Unfortunately my Galaxy S was ran over by a trailer a few months ago - which has left my gps not being able to find a fix at all, and occasional drop outs and low reception in areas I would normally get good reception in. Luckily for me, it only affected these things and pushed the screen in about 1mm (nothing noticeable appearance wise). I have been flashing like crazy thinking that it's my modem that's playing up - no matter what modem/rom I try it doesn't work and I have the same issues. To be honest I always had issues with the GPS fixing as it was very slow and lost signal, but now I get no fix at all even if I wait 30 minutes and try everything!

So I'm hoping to get it sent back and looked at under warranty. I've downloaded the stock FW of samfirmware site, JM8, 2.1, but could only find it under European FW but I assume this is acceptable.

I'm about to flash over the stock eclair rom (JM8), after that I would love to know the next steps in being able to flash a stock Telstra rom including all the bloatware and boot screen if possible. The links in the whirlpool forum are having a well earned nap in the OP, so I cannot get onto download them :-)

While I flash the Telstra rom (I'm assuming via Odin), does it automatically unroot and lock my phone? ATM I'm obviously unlocked and rooted. I guess flashing stock JM8 will unroot, but if Telstra rom doesn't lock - how do I lock it? - I'm hoping to get as close as possible to full stock here! :-)

Also, when I hopefully am able to flash the stock Telstra rom, does it automatically lock my phone and unroot it during the flash? I would assume so. I have all lagfixes turned off, phone at the moment is unlocked and rooted (obviously).

Any thoughts would be hugely appreciated!

...And yes, it really did get ran over - and survived!!! Impressive :-)

Regards

I don't want to hijack, and so please answer the question above before mine, but... Same question, optus. Would like to be able to flash a phone (not mine honest) and be able to cover my tracks in case of a warranty call ;)

so i need to flash back to stock Optus rom, anyone know where to get one from?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sencafe:
Your one is easy to answer for me because I'm on Optus and know where the roms are.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881

Ramad's collection of stock roms is where you will find the recently released Optus 2.3.3 rom, which includes all of the Optus bloatware. Flash it with Odin and you will go back to stock rom, which will be locked/unrooted/etc. Make sure you still have a backup of your original efs folder.

Look for XWJVN/SRJV1/OPSJV5 in the Australia and New Zealand section of his post.

JVT

Anyone tried the JVT rom? Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] electrotune1200:
Yeah I've been running it a couple days....

So far to me it feels really good. A bit more polished than JVS. I have the week off from work, so my phone isn't under it's normal stress load, and that's where the Phone FC's were a bit more common.

I'm running a stock odexed firmware and kernel. Only mod is root access.

Recently installed DarkyROM 10.3 JVR,does that mean its using JVR modem or since its a custom rom is it using a diff one? Only asking cause for me,phone signal strength seems good but wifi range doesnt seem great.

Should I try JVS modem? Or the new JVT modem? Anyone on Optus try that one yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
I would suggest SRJV1

What's the baseband on the DarkyROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] toddmworth:
You can check what modem you're using in settings... About phone.

Modem does not effect wifi though.

You should try as many modems as you like, every phone seems to be a little bit different. I tried JVT on Optus and it seemed similar to JVS but I needed reliability so I didn't test it for long.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MrIwik:
I didn't try 10.3 but I have found Darky roms to have poor wifi all round, modem doesn't affect this.

Although as a modem I did find JVS to be better than JVR for me as that was what I was using when on Darky/stock or other Sammy based roms. Now I'm running CM7 I am testing a few different ones but finding JVT modem to be quite good..

Lads, a bit of a drama, in my everlasting search for a great modem for my galaxy s running cm7 nightly # 162, v12 glitch kernal.

(Telstra). I was running DVJP9 which was pretty good, but I found a JVQ modem which I was told was very good, so I flashed it... For where I am it's not as good as JP9 so I flashed back and now I get no service with either and can only make emergency calls.

What would be the best way to go from:

To CM7.1?

Root stock > http://tdknights.com/downloads/voodoo-kernel-XWJVN-v1.1-odin.zip

Boot recovery

--- Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe Cache... any more? battery

remove lagfix?

Do the update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip

>> factory reset?

If didnt auto reboot, do gapps

If successful, should there be absolutely no FC's or missing widgets?

Should one then update superuser / busybox / rom manager etc straight away from Market?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zedaycee:
Telstra uses NextG on the 850mhz frequency. You'll need to find a modem that runs at 850mhz. I'm not exactly sure which one that is but I have seen posts regarding this on the developers board.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sencafe:
You have the basics right. Use Odin to flash one of the many modified kernels found in this forum (I've always used Hardcores kernel: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1044519 : but Chainfire's kernel works just as well). Download the CM7 zip as you noted and make sure it's in your phone storage. Should download the gapps zip as well and place on your phone. Boot into Recovery and Factory Reset, Clear Cache. Flash the CM7 zip. Flash gapps zip.

You will lose all of the data from internal storage, so make sure you move the files you want to keep onto your external SD card or PC.

No need to worry about lag fixes etc...

If you are using Titanium Backup, make sure the location of your backup folder is not on your internal SD as it will be wiped. When restoring with Titanium, many people experience problems. Try to restore app only if you can and do one at a time. Batch restores cause problems.

Hope this helps you.

Edit... forgot about the rest of your post... There are no known FC's with CM7. Samsung widgets will not work as they rely on the Samsung Framework. All Google stuff works fine. Apparently there's a problem with video recording which I'm yet to come across. Only thing I miss from the Samsung Roms is the swipe to call or message from the contacts list.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] skuzy:
is cm7 worth it? dunno much about it and only had a quick read.. seems like there is a nightly release that u have to reflash.. is that right??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zedaycee:
Well I think it's great if you're into custom roms and stuff. Yeah, you need to flash one of the nightlies, I only flash once every 2 or so weeks though unless there's a major defect with the nightly. You need to run it a few days first to get the battery properly calibrated so best not to flash every day LOL.

I used to try out all the different custom roms but they got a little ego centric, CM7 is a lot more generic in it's design and very fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sencafe:
Not to mention how configurable CM7 is. There are hundreds of themes that you can apply. Scrolling is very smooth. Battery lasts long enough.

It has a few issues, the battery will drain quicker if you are using 3G/HSPA but it's manageable.

Only thing I miss from Samsung roms is the swipe left or right from contacts list to send message or call.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Hey guys, thought I'd try my luck in here, as it seems the place to be for Aussies! :)

I too live in Australia, however I recently bought a GT-I9000M from a friend in Canada. Before I start, is there anyone here who has a GT-I9000M working in Australia? I think I need a few tips if you do :)

Basically, I've tried flashing many different firmwares, modems, CM7 etc etc etc, however I can NEVER get any signal. It always says "No service". In CM7, it can tell me what my carrier is (Testing with Telstra, but will probably go with Vodafone in the end), but no signal.

Every time I check the signal strength, no matter which firmware, it's always stuck at -111dBm 1asu.

I'm kind of worried that the radio hardware itself may be damaged, as from a noobs point of view, it would seem the radio isn't responding.

So, I suppose, how could I go about narrowing down the problem? What modem is everyone here running? Any reasons the GT-I9000M wouldn't work in Aus? (It IS SIM unlocked). I've seen a few people on the internet have managed to get this model working in Aus, but I'm unsure as to whether I have a hardware issue, or I'm doing something wrong :)

I have a few screenshots here of my setup & some info, hopefully someone can make something of it and point out any issues I might have :)

EDIT: I just thought I'd add, I live in Cairns. Maybe I need a special modem or something for Cairns?

Cheers,

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zedaycee:
I'm not familiar with the Captivate but if it's like any other SGS, I'm using JVR and that seems to work fine for me on the optus network.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Could my "No service" problem be due to me not using an Australian CSC? I didn't even think about that, and I think I've had the Canadian CSC on it all along. Not really holding my breath it'll help though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zedaycee:
Hmmm.. it should work...

Have you tried flashing it with a stock JVT rom or does that still have radio issues. I had a friend who dropped his phone in the toilet and his phone wasn't connecting but after I reflashed it to stock first then to one of the non-CM7 custom roms the radio was working again.

Did it work in Canada? Did you flash it with Vibrant or International roms?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
Thanks for the reply :)

According to my friend, it did work in Canada.

Which makes me wonder, is it possible that I flashed a firmware or modem that may have damaged my radio?

Heres what I did:

I got the phone, and of course, it was locked to Bell in Canada.

I tried rooting it using SuperOneClick, but it failed. My friend told me about CM7, and how you get root access by default. He had to leave to go somewhere, and being the impatient person I am, I tried flashing a vodafone firmware onto it. I dunno why, not sure what I was hoping to achieve.

Anyway, after that, I tried flashing CM7 onto it, but missed the part on the wiki that says you need 2.2 Froyo. Naturally, the CM7 install didn't work and I ended up in a boot loop. I got scared and reflashed it back to its stock firmware. I then realized I needed 2.2 on there for it to work, so I flashed that, then flashed CM7, which worked fine. I could then SIM unlock the phone using helroz's unlock app.

Apart from many flashes back and forth between stock (So I could get to the service menu etc) and CM7, that's pretty much where I am now.

Apart from the option in the recovery menu, is there any way you can actually completely wipe the phone? Maybe some fragments of other modems are left over and are messing with it?

Also, noob question, what is the JVT ROM?

Thanks for the help :)

Dan
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lpfthings:
A breakthrough! I have (had) reception! I have my brothers BOOST SIM, so I put that in for testing. Absolutely no service at all inside the house. To get it to work, I had to go into service mode, and change the mode to "Unknown". I then had to go stand outside on the highest point I could find, and I got 1 (yes, only 1!) bar of reception.

However, this means my radio is still working, yay! :D

So I suppose, can anyone recommend me a good modem for Cairns? I've heard there are differences between regional type areas and heavily populated areas, in terms of what modems work best.

EDIT: Just tried a Telstra SIM too, and it also works. Reception is still bodgy though, only 1 bar at best outside and nothing in the house at all :( This is on the KE3 modem.

EDIT: Don't get much outside with it either. Best I saw was "Emergency calls only", but that's gone now and back to no service.

EDIT2: Just found the JVT modem, flashed it, still no go. Have a feeling the antenna in my phone might be shot :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sencafe:
That is a lot of flashing. What is your procedure? You may need format the SD card or a full factory reset if on a Samsung rom to clean up any remnants.

Not sure if it'll help.

Try this out:

- Enter Download Mode & Flash a Stock Rom and PIT with Odin

- After you device has reset and when the phone has booted key in *2767*3855# into the dialler, this will do a FULL FACTORY RESET

I suppose I'll try and send it back to him in Canada, as the phone is fine there.

EDIT: OK, I'm going to send it back :)

Hi, i am wondering how i go about applying/installing a rom downloaded from romkitchen.org.

All help would be appreciated, cheers :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] silashack:
Is your phone rooted 1st?

Can you do the three button recovery/download mode?

You are best off making sure you have these basic functions, then you can make a nandroid backup BEFORE you attempt anything.

Then select YOUR options in the kitchen, this will make a rom, download that rom to your INTERNAL sdcard, if you take the recommended then it will wipe your data, so make sure you do not have anything on there you have not backed up, you will loose it. And yes you can select nowipe, but you will open yourself up to possible issues as a result, for ease of use and understanding, stick with the wipe method.

Enter CWM (ClockWorkMOD) and do a factory reset/delete cache and dalvik (JUST TO BE DOUBLE SURE) then select install zip from sdcard, select your downloaded file and install.

WAIT for at least 5-10 minutes BEFORE you start to worry after the reboot, it often takes a little while to unpack and place objects, I tend to know it is working by seeing the choice of bootscreen animation I chose :)

Any issue then come back here and there should be help available to you
