[Q] Bell Canada - i9000 modem - General Questions and Answers

Hey!
I just flashed my i9000 to CM10, and its a thing if beauty. Except for my data signal strength. I have looked through the provided list and cannot find a modem recommended for Bell Canada. Any suggestions? And whats the best way to install/upgrade modem software? Thanks a bunch!!!
(edit) Also, how do I find out what modem version I am currently using, so I dont try it again if trial-error comes up?

Installed rogers Rom on my i897 have you?

so I just installed the Stock rogers Rom on My i897 and will be running some gps tests. so far all the normal stuff works, locked on 10 satellites in about 20 seconds after deleting gps data. was able to root with CL's superoneclick without too much trouble. anyone else with similar experience. Maybe we can compare Jupiter files?

Yes mobile AP and sideloading work by default. I just checked mobile ap and works fine.
okay. that's good... i have downloaded rom posted above... any other precautions? 3button mode working after reflashing rogers firmware?
Does the Rogers Captivate have HSUPA??
NO it doesn't
only galaxy s AFAIK support HSUPA are with european modem, but with it you can't call (if you place eu modem in us phone)
"okay. that's good... i have downloaded rom posted above... any other precautions? 3button mode working after reflashing rogers firmware"
Make sure you back up your EFS folder. just as a precaution. this stores information about your product code and emei unlock code ect. this is very difficult to recreate.

There is an issue with the 850 band using an HSUPA modem.bin, but there's a wor-around for that. It doesn't prevent you from making calls.
apparently is does, noone can't hear you and you can't hear anyone...
thats odd, I just made a call on mine and it worked fine.

Its looking really good. Stock Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) with T-Mobile bloat, but nothing we cant uninstall.

can someone explain how to flash the firmware using smartflash? I cant seem to get it working
Hmm, my phone only reads LG-P999-V10f in the Factory Version part of settings. There was a screenshot in an different thread of the Factory Version being LGP999AT-00-v10f-TMO-US-MAR-27-2011. Now this one is LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.
Does that mean there is 3 different versions of the firmware out there? If so I wonder if any have the 850 Band for AT&T available to select?

It is thought that it may take a modified baseband to make them accessible (although one post in the general section sounded like he received a SIM unlock code from TMO and was told to activate it with an AT&T SIM in the device).
Related to that, the flashing of the G2x Firmware on the Ox2 probably screwed up the baseband on it,as they use different bands. Someone on the Ox2 Forum did the reverse - everything worked but the network connections also

i9020a radio 4.1.1

So I've gotten jelly bean installed on my Nexus S, granted I do have the Sprint i9020a CDMA version, I realize no radio was included, however, I flashed the latest radio that I had and JB doesn't see it, I used the i9020a version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784497
Is it just that there is a GSM version of the i9020a(didn't think there was) or is there something i'm missing, never had this problem before when flashing roms. Right now it says baseband "unknown". Which is telling me the ROM is only looking for a GSM radio I take it.

i9020A is gsm (the only diff with i9020T is the 850MHz for 3g). there was never an i9020a cdma version. maybe you;re confusing it with nexus S 4G (D720)?

Oh I see, well no I had read that 19020a was Sprint only, didn't know there was a GSM variant :/
So if I flash an AOSP version over this will it be ok? or should I just wipe and start fresh to be safe?
isn't the i9020a an att gsm phone? OP, remove your battery and tell us what it says on the phone itself. I'm thinking, along with others here, that you have the ns4g (d720).

1st make sure what model you have and flash the proper radio

Well, I did that and everything is good, however for some reason Google Play Music, refuses to see my music, and Settings refuses to see my ringtones, etc from the sdcard partition
edit:yes i did a full factory wipe when I installed as well.
I would start by looking through the thread of the rom you flashed. Sounds like you may just need to fix permissions or possibly wipe & reflash

Well this is ROM i'm using, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763781 and so far I'm not seeing any issue with that. I've done a fix permissions thing, I'll try a reflash and see if that does the trick, not gonna get my hopes up tho...
Edit: Well I've went back to my 4.0.4 version until things get straightened out...to many bugs to work with in these JB ROMS.....

Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE SGH-I757M Root and Modem Flashing?

Hello everyone,
My friend (who isn't very experienced with android) wants me to root his Bell Galaxy S2 HD LTE SGH-I757M. The only thread I found about this phone is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740188 . My main question though is, Can this phone be converted to work with T-mobile network frequencies like the Skyrocket? I'm assuming that the modems from the T989 and the I727 will work on the SGH-I757M? Any input is greatly appreciated.
thanks
Any one know anything about this phone?
I'm actually looking for these same answers. If i find anything out I will post an update and I hope you will return the favor.
Just searched "i757m" and found this thread at the top of the results.. easy as pie...

that doesnt have anything to do with unlocking the aws bands....
Well, it's just a start as the OP has linked other useful threads in his signature and in post#3. I guess you can PM the OP and/or post in the Q/A section as it seems all i727M discussions are posted on the i9100 board.
I found information on changing the modem, as for unlocking all I had to resort to purchasing an an unlock code.
PM me if you need help rooting and changing modem or anything like that.

Hello and thanks for your reply.
I'm fairly new to Android, switched over from blackberry couple months ago.
Do I have to root the phone before flashing the radio/modem or just flash the zip file in recovery mode through SD card?
Also my i757M is on gingerbread right now, would it make a difference if I flash the modem from t879 from t-mobile?
Please, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks again.

[Q] carbonROM baseband modem help

Can anyone please tell me whether CM-based ROMs like Carbon automatically update your baseband modem? I'm currently running the 5/15 nightly with ML1 modem and am wondering if I need to update my modem? Yesterday my radio system started acting really odd - my data connection completely dropped out for about an hour. When it came back I could only get 1x or 3G connections, but no 4GLTE. I am pretty sure it isn't location related, I generally get a good connection in the city (Portland, OR). All getting slow connection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ROMs do not change or update your baseband unless you are flashing a full ODIN image or taking an OTA. Modems have to be changed or updated separately and by you when you flash ROMs.
Different modems perform at different levels depending on the individual device and area where you live. Best thing to do is flash different modems, try each one for a few days, and test which one works best for you.
