[Q] Flash with odin without modem.bin?

My friend has asked me to flash his phone with new firmware.
But he is on the Telstra network with 850MHz NextG so I want to keep the modem.bin file he has currently on his phone.
I would just create the firmware with the modem.bin file that he has but I can't seem to get it for download. there is one rapidfile link but it looks like it has been removed from the server and I can't seem to get I9000TDVJH3.tar anywhere.
I can only seem to get the CSC file.
If I flash his phone with Odin without that file would it just stay the same? And would I have to remove the dbdata.rfs?

If anyone has the modem.bin i'm looking for can they please pm me. Thanks.

Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M - Gingerbread for Canadians, eh!

Hello, all!
This is my first thread and am not entirely sure where I would start it, so figured the General Q&A would be a safe place to begin.
I wanted to let all the Canadians running a SGS GT-I9000M to know that I have made a home-brewed Gingerbread ROM that will work on both the TELUS and Rogers networks (possibly others, but not tested). I took the original European I9000XWJV1 2.3.2 (samfirmware) and fiddled with the firmware a bit.
Initially, the I9000XWJV1 firmware did not work from my home (near Lake Erie) on the TELUS network. It did, however, work with my brother's Rogers SIM card. But as persistent as I am, I decided to wait to try it from school (near Lake Ontario) because all the hardware was functional (minus the modem which I will get to), the speed had drastically increased, and the UI was so smooth compared to the 2.2 ROM I had previously (plus I'm a sucker for new software).
After about a day, I thought to myself, "if the kernel doesn't complain and recognizes it, why can't I Odin-flash a UGJK3 modem binary in place of the JV1?" So I went ahead with it and, voila! A home-brewed Gingerbread ROM for the SGS (Canadian/North American version).
Long story short, I have it if you want to give it a try. I have only been using it for a day or two now, but am selflessly willing to let everyone else play as well. If someone can give me a decent FREE site where I can upload the file to, I will post a reply to this thread with the details.
Please move this thread as necessary.
Thanks and I look forward to reading some enthusiasm in this thread soon!

how do you install it?

Downloaded it but it fails to install every time i tried then messes the phone up.

Hey, Just wanted to add for Canadian BELL members, the latest KC1 Modem works EXCELLENT with 2.3.3 Gingerbread. Just flash the modem file with ODIN. Gps locks amazingly fast and is accurate, battery like is just as good as the rest and phone maintains is crazy fast speed that it gets with gingerbread.

procedure
thank you i hoped this was the case.
Just to confirm the order: download XXJVK and flash PDA using Odin and then flash the KC1 Modem to phone, or flash both at the same time? Partition or not?

same question here.
can i just flash pda, and modem
leave csc to bell and not repartition?
thanks!

I have the same questions? Can one flash just the modem file using Odin? If so, does one check repartiton and use the PIT file or not? Also, can I just use the modem bin file without any other file for the modem?
I have already flashed an official 2.3 ROM but I can only get the 1900 UMTS band and would like to get the 850 also.
Thanks in advance.

I felt lucky today so I just;
1. Fired up Odin,
2. Put the phone in download mode,
3. Hooked it up to computer,
4. Using the phone tab I selected only the bin file for the KC1 modem. NOTE:
I did NOT select the partition box or use a PIT file.
5. Hit the Start Button.
It finished in about 12 seconds and now my device works on the 850 and 1900 UMTS bands.

Above procedure worked for me with 2.3.3 JVK. I used the single modem.bin file (~12Mb) for JK3 in the 'Phone' section of Odin from the JK3 thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9314637&postcount=18
I've been using JVK modem for weeks without 850 on Bell, and it's rare for me to have reception issues. Battery life seemed on par with 2.2 JL2, GPS seemed improved. Will see how KC1 stacks up.

I'm using Doc's Rom with the kc1 modem and it's working great.
Good battery and fast smooth interface.

I am almost positive I included a HOW-TO document in the ZIP file.
Moreover, I posted this assuming the reader had knowledge of how to flash firmware or use Google.

I tested what you did on the 2.3.4 update and it seems to be working fine (used the modem file included in yours instead of stock) thanks for the tip. I couldn't figure out why my SGS wouldnt text.

[Q] Odin3 sitting at <ID:0/003> modem.bin for a LONG time

I am putting my Sprint SGT back to stock EA24 so I can recover what appears to be a mess up on my part. (Not relative to this thread) and have chosen to use the "Sprint Galaxy Tab EA24 Flasher with Odin" technique that has received excellent results for so many.
I am sitting in Oden, and it is at the
<ID:0/003> modem.bin
It has been there for a long time. How long should I wait for it to continue? Has anybody experienced this when restoring stock kernel?

Yeh, this happened to me, it seemed like it wasn't responding so i just closed it and did it again, you can take a chance and do that aswell lol
I figured what else could i do, i left it for an hour

What was interesting is that I eventually stopped the process, pulled up Heimdall, put in all the individual pieces, and it failed/stalled at modem.bin also.
I stopped Heimdall, rebooted my tab back into download mode (only it was showing the Phone - Orange Triangle - Computer) and redid the Heimdall update MINUS the Modem option.
It was successful and my tab has been fine ever since. I have full 3G, Wireless, and no problems that I have identified as of yet.
It went and updated OTA to EB28 without a hitch, and since then, I have been working on a completely stock Sprint Galaxy Tab.
Go figure...

Ok here is what you need to do.
1. Flash your captivate with this stock 2.2 Rom. This one will remove the AT&T boot logo. And when flashing do make sure to check the repartition box and use the pit file
Files:
Rogers 2.2 ATT Free
Pit File
2. When you finished flashing, go to the phone dialer and dial *#1234#, if your CSC Version is unknow then put the phone back into download mode. And flash this 2.2 Rom, this one contains the missing CSC file version and make sure to only check the PDA on Odin3 and don't use the pit file and uncheck the Re-Partition box!!!!!!
When finish flashing go the dialer and dial *#1234#, to see the csc version: I896RWCJL1. And connect to kies to see if your phone is recognize. If your having problem PM me.
Files:
Rogers 2.2 Missing CSC

Thanks, I'll give it a shot..

worked like a charm thanks!
I tried to modify the NV_Data.bin myself but the guide is for i897 models, which are the same but not so it wasn't working.
Now im ready to take the official update if rogers ever pushes it.

Make sure you properly modify the NV_Data.bin, or else when you connect to kies it's going to say for the CSC version: JL1 (ATT). If you need help modifying the NV_Data.bin, I'll help you with it.

I had already modified it but was still getting CSC : Unknown, after flashing the new rom it began to work as it should.

Flashing Stock Rom?

My phone's user interface is messed up. Usable, but barely. I have flash gordon if needed for fix ;
Regardless, I wanted to reinstall the stock rom and erase EVERYTHING. I've seen a few threads on a stock flash with odin to Mf1, And I'd do it if I could figure out how. I don't have international and yes, this is for s4 active. Can anyone help me please?
I had to make a new account by the way because I forgot my password.

Sounds like you should probably not be messing with your phone. Unfortunately, we do not have an easy way to flash any ROM including stock on the S4A thanks to a locked bootloader. Have you tried to do a factory reset? That's about the only thing you can do that might at least get you back to square 1.

G4A international version (GT-i9295) has unlocked bootloader afaik.
I've sucessfully re-flashed original rom with odin. Had to do it to claim warranty, cause have no sound during phone calls (not related to water damage).

Un-check "Re-Partition" in Odin's Options section and then flash.

Unfortunately, he did not identify exactly what phone he has beyond the S4A. Lack of attention to detail is probably what got him into this predicament.

I have the same phone, GT-i9295 SGS4A (int'l), and I'm trying to install CWM recovery, as described here, but I get the same error "There is no PIT partition". I have not selected the Re-Partition checkbox. I got the same result with Odin3 v3.07 and v3.09.
I'm not sure exactly what this "PIT partition" is, but I wonder why somebody seems to be able to download firmware, and someone is not. And as the OP asked, is it possible to get a hold of this .PIT file and make this work?
EDIT: SOLVED!
Using a different USB port on the PC solved the problem!

Back to stock?
Hey all, I'm still kinda new here and I was wondering if you can help me...
I bought an unlocked i9295 on eBay and I got tired of TW so I rooted it and installed the Cyanogenmod 10.2 unofficial rom on it.
I loved it at first but I started finding a few bugs until it made me want to go back to stock.
I tried going back to factory settings using KIES but it won't recognize my phone, I'm thinking about flashing stock rom using Odin but I can't find the stock ROM for my phone.
I found a few sites on google with download links but they're all sloooow freehosts, does anyone know how I can get KIES to recognize my phone or if there's a better way to download the stock rom (ie Samsung)?
Thanks!

This might not work for you, my phone is different, but it's easy to try. When I had problems getting windows to see my phone, I found that if I un-checked usb debugging, my phone was recognized. Not the way it's supposed to work, but it did.
