[REQ] update.zip from JM8 GPS files?

Hi,
Could someone separate GPS related files from JM8 and build an update.zip please? I'm running the latest official firmware (PDA: JM2, Phone: JM1) with JM6 GPS files and GPS accuracy is still often scandalous. I cannot risk flashing complete JM8 as Sansung Hungary declared that flasing an unofficial firmware means end of your warranty, so I'd like to update my JM2 with GPS files from JM8. (Having a nandroid backup of untouched JM2 state I can revert this change anytime)
I was wearching i9000 forums and I was not able to locate this kind of package. If someone is knowledgeable enough to create this update package I'd be very thankful. From the different GPS updates coming from different SGS variants and different firmwares the JM6 update gave the best results so fat, but rumors say that there is some imptovement in JM8 compared to JM6 - this is why I'd like to tinker with JM8 gps files without flashing a complete JM8 and void my warranty.
Thanks in advance

+1 here
thank you

You can always flash back to jm1 and no one will be able to tell it. Or just to make sure - even older version and update with kies.

I would also appreciate an update.zip

Do not expect big improvents! I've just tried the JM8 and the GPS is still crazy and jumping your position everywhere around you location. Navigation is almast impossible. Nasty to say but sadly true.

Nobody? Please guys, pretty please with sugar on top...

Jm8 good for me.

Im using JM8 with lag fix and gps fix also changed some settings via sgs tools and used my phone to get to devon and all round the coast for the past few days not one problem. I had more issues with n900 sygic and n82 garmin than with this, I get a lock on average of about 7 satelites in 8 secs inside my house.

I would really like to try the JM8 files.
This is my run with JF3 and the Epic fix

Sorry about that, fixed it!

I think the GPS problem in SGS is because of the Broadcom chip. The drivers for it were updated & given to Samsung very recently, thus we can deduce that no matter what you try, unless Samsung incorporates THOSE drivers in a FW, nothing will really improve.
You can also try to edit gps.conf file & point it to the appropriate NTP server, it might help a lot.

Looking for TELUS ROM for Motorola Charm

There appears to have been a TELUS software update for the Charm. Apparently I can't post a link, but if you search Google for "telus charm update" you can go to (what should be) the second result. Does this mean there should also be an SBF out there for it somewhere? Or would this software update have come in the "update.zip" format? Anyone have any information? My TELUS Charm is bricked—the only existing ROM that even slightly works is the T-Mobile one, but I don't get any phone service with it. All of the others give me MEM_MAP errors. Thanks!

I'm also looking for TELUS ROM for Motorola Charm.
Anyone can help me?

Here's the original Charm T-Mobile ROM and another ROM for Charm without Blur - but it didn't boot when I flashed it to my T-Mobile Charm using RSDLite 4.5.3 - I had to flash T-Mobile again.
Haven't found a way to (nan- or clockworkmod-) backup the entire ROM.

Also I'm trying to get Cronos (who's android 2.3 for Hero is amazing) to create a Charm port by donating him a Charm:

Thanks, but I don't need T-Mobile rom. I need TELUS rom.

Hi,
I have two TELUS charms.
Can anyone tell me how to do a backup of the ROM?
I will post it here once i get it.
Both phones are rooted, but I managed to almost brick one and so would like to clone the ROM over from the working phone .

OK so I managed to mostly fix my dead Telus Charm by flashing the ROM posted by toto221 at modmymobile (google Charm firmwares superthread, sorry I'm not allowed to post links yet).
However, this ROM, in addition to having BLUR, comes with Google search and Google Talk removed, and Spanish Yahoo as the default search provider.
On the plus side, it does come with Flash 9.1.
EDIT:
So by some weird chance, it seems that first flashing the spanish/portuguese ROM, then rebooting and reflashing the BASEM de-BLUR ROM, I now have a fully working BLUR-free Charm.

Well, fully working with Bell HSPA. But I believe they're the same network and frequencies, so, theoretically, yes.
All the files I used are on my Mediafire account:
http://www.mediafire.com/?94z9t52nvd17d
Flash first: BASLA_U3... .sbf (Spanish ROM)
Flash second: BASEM_U3... .sbf (De-BLUR ROM)
I have never flashed the T-Mobile ROM though, so YMMV.

Hmm strange. I did also flash with a messed-up "frankenstein" combination ROM with pieces of both in between, so that may have done something.
I'll post that up on mediafire too. (http://www.mediafire.com/?izn2srs2k2zbrg0)
When I get home I'll try flashing my other Charm that's still running stock Telus.
Also, by the way, is your phone unlocked? Because I bought both of mine unlocked, not sure what difference that makes.

OK, so as I thought, the T-Mobile ROM is what causes problems. It has either a different locked bootloader or a newer version, so any of the other, older ROMS (Telus, deblur, etc.) cannot be flashed anymore.
Same problem as a bunch of VZW Droid owners have. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...34-stuck-bootloader-err-a5-70-39-00-27-a.html
Now the only solution would be to flash the phone with an sbf that the phone would accept. Not sure if one of these is available, or if there's any way to hack one together from the T-Mobile and deblur ones.

Interesting developments! How did you create your "frankenstein" ROM? Perhaps such a ROM could be made with the T-Mobile firmware as a base, with the radio components of the Latin American ROM then added?

Well, all I did was extract the .sbf using MotoAndroidDepacker. Then I swapped the Code group .smg files around and rebuilt it.
Problem is, I have no idea what I'm doing or what CG31, CG37 and so on mean. I can try to guess based on the file size but... We probably need someone with some Motorola expertise.

ergosteur, I have flashed your "frankenstein" combination ROM today. Still unable to boot.

So your phone can now ONLY flash the T-Mobile ROM?? - unable to "update" to the DEBLUR ROM??

That's right. Because the DEBLUR ROM has an older bootloader or something, and Motorola doesn't allow downgrades.
Notice the T-Mobile ROM has a white Motorola logo on black background while booting, and some fancy colours behind it, while the other ROMs have a solid white background and black Motorola logo.

I had hoped it was simply because the T-Mobile ROM was SIM locked but the DEBLUR (or any other) ROM still doesn't boot even after I've bought and appiled unlock codes to two T-Mobile Charms.
I think you're right - it seem the bootloader (for USB flashing) is blocking it somehow - it stops booting and shows the bootloader with some error msg.
So the conclusion is: NEVER buy the T-Mobile Charm - go for Telus' only (until a new open community bootloader arrives).

Hi,
Can anyone confirm that an unlocked TELUS CHARM would be de-blured if:
From stock Telus rom and without ever flashing T-Mobile rom I flash:
BASLA_U3_00.32.203_R02_SIGNED_USABASCLALALA02C.0R_PDS000_GCXBASLCLALALA_P051_A021_M009_HWp3_1FF.sbf (spanish rom)
And then flashing:
BASEM_U3_01.12.4_DEBLUR_SIGNED_USABASIL01RINT150AI013.0R_PDS000_UC1SOMPBASLRTINT_P025_A016_HWp3_1FF.sbf (deblured rom)
I will get a WORKING 2G and 3G 850/1900 de-blured TELUS CHARM.
Is this possible?
Best Regards.

[Stock][ROM]Galaxy S3-LTE (d2ltetmo)

Galaxy SIII
LTE
SGH-T999L
d2ltetmo​
****This will NOT make a T999 model LTE capable!!! Simply put, it CANNOT happen!!!****​​​​
==========================================================================================================
NOTE: It is CONFIRMED that the T999L modem, does NOT work on the original T999. It will not brick the device, but you will have no connectivity.
The same has also been confirmed for the AT&T GS3 - I747. It will almost certainly be exactly the same for ALL variants of the S3!!!!!
==========================================================================================================
The ROM will work on a T999 with few to no problems though! (Ive been running it for about a week now!)​
***See Post #3 for instructions on How to Return to Stock***
As most of you know, T-Mobile has recently released a new version of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, it seems that Samsung never releases a downloadable version of their firmware for newly released devices. This seems to be no execption, which means that there is no way to fully return to stock once you have rooted and begun flashing customs ROMs and whatnot. For Example: If you root by flashing CWM or TWRP, your stock recovery is now gone and there is no way to get it back......until now!
Over the past several days, I have been working with Motodefier to solve this issue, and I believe we have done so! What we have is a way for users to return to stock if they so desire.
***********Motodefier and I have decided to delay the Odin version of the firmware for the T999L, just to be safe. There are too many unanswered questions and while I think we have it down and would be ready for use, I do not want anyone flashing it until I am certain it will not brick their phone. We have not given up on it though, and will keep you guys posted. In the meantime, we do have an alternative method using the recovery.
I believe Moto is planning a debloated release soon, so be on the lookout for T999L based custom roms to hopefully start coming out soon.
To all of you T999L owners, please do not expect the devs of current ROMs to release additional builds based on this. Their current releases should be able to work on your device as is anyway. I will put together an MB7 kernel + modules zip that you can flash on top of these ROMs in case any of them do not fully function on your device.
In the end, any T999L builds will most likely come from people who actually own it.
Note: I do not have the T999L, so I unfortunately have to rely on others for testing. Where possible, I will test on my own device and will post the results. I will also be sure to label each item as Untested if it has not been.
I am confident everything will work as intended. I wouldn't release it otherwise. If you do decide to try any of this, please post your results. If there are any issues, I will work to solve them right away.
**If you see an item that is untested and you do flash it, please post your results. If it fails please also PM me and Motodefier for further assistance.
*****In the event of ANY FAILURE . Send me and Motodefier a PM, and post here so others know. We will make it top priority to get you back to stock and running normally.
***Please see Post #2 for a list of any reported bugs/problems.

Note: Together, these are the equivalent of a Full Firmware as you would normally use if an official one were available. Once each piece has been tested and found working, I will put together a single flashable that will put you back on stock. I will also release a root66 version.
I had posted a couple of these a couple of days ago, but apparently no one wanted to test or no one saw them and they got buried pretty quickly. This is a request for anyone willing to test them out. As usual, I tried my best to make sure they are safe to use. If they do not work, I believe they will fail almost instantly without actually flashing to the device. Also, as usual, i cannot guarantee this, nor that it will not brick your device. This is testing AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!! Please make sure you have a nandroid backup ready, just in case!

can you try flashing the modem to see if you get lte

If the roms are not compatible with the t999 it would be better to ad another forum for tmobile android development lte.
Remember that even on the international devices the lte version is not compatible with the none lte and they have another forum for it.
But in anycase this would not and never bring lte to the t999.

If we know for sure that the modem is safe I'd be willing to try it here in Phoenix. Just cant afford a brick tho.

Dont you think it would have been a lot cheaper for Tmobile to just turn on lte to our s3 if it was compatible? I mean tmobile probably lost money with all of the units not sold that they had to give back that doesnt have lte.
Click to expand...

The reason the international s3 isnt compatible is the partition layout is different. Not the case here.
Thanks for testing. Did you test on a T999 or the T999L?
I think they can be made to be compatible. The L can flash existing roms as I understand it. I tried with both the T999L kernel and the md5 kernel snd it stuck on splash for me as well. May have to do with drivers/modules? Ill look into it though.

The T999 will not get LTE. The hardware is not there.
I Doubt the modem will brick a T999. Prob just wont work.
I know I dont have to say it, but its at your own risk on this stuff.
I mostly put it together for the T999L users to be able to go back to stock. Secondary is for development for the T999 for possible improvements.

Flashing things to SM-T705Y

Hi Guys,
I have a T705Y. Was wondering whether I have to flash stuff specific to the Y version (of which there doesn't appear to be much) or whether I can flash T705 stuff to it as well.
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
D.S

Where did you get this one from? I'm not sure about flashing stuff on it because most roms and kernels are for the 705. Not sure if the 705 is compatible to the 700y. Is this also a Snapdragon or exynos?

A carrier in Australia are giving them out in a bundle at the moment, my Nexus 7 just happened to break so it seemed to work out.
No idea if it's Exynos or Snapdragon, haven't looked that far into it yet. Was simply asking the question in the hopes that somebody had a quick answer.
It's not a big deal. Some more searching suggests that CF-AutoRoot works, which would probably be enough for me to be able to uninstall / freeze a lot of the chaff on the device.
Thanks

I just got a new australian model sm- t705y. Has anyone flashed the taiwanese lollipop rom to it yet? Does it run good? Should i root before or after? I'm a newbie, thanks, Pet

Edit
I flashed the taiwanese lollipop rom with odin 3.09, it works beautiful, didn't need factory reset after, but it is specifically for the "y"-version of the sm-705. I am facing the same problem, don't know what the "y" means, except that it adds a certain bandwith for Australian 4G. I don't know if i can use stuff for normal sm- 705 or if that would cause problems. I will repost after trying, might take a while as i want to do a full backup first. If anyone has any clues regarding this issue i too would be very happy and

I too would be very very very interested in knowing this. Can't find any info on it other than a "maybe" from the Iron ROM creator.
The main reason I want it is because the Xposed framework doesn't work with current stock Samsung ROMs, yet there are no custom ROMs for the T705Y..
Has anyone taken the plunge and tried a custom T705 ROM on a T705Y??
FYI the T705Y is the Australian variant with 4G 700MHz band 28 for Aussie 4G. It has the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 (Adonis?)
..tempted to buy one with a broken screen just to try it but I don't have the money at the moment.

Sorry if double posting isn't allowed but just an update - I've tried deodexing so I can install Xposed but no luck - have gone through all the walkthroughs and troubleshooting I can find and after about 8 hrs total I've given up. I'll post back here if I get the balls to flash a T705 ROM or if I find a T705Y ROM that will allow Xposed.

Why do you need balls? It's a simple case of making a backup with twrp first which is reiterated on this forum about a million times then just flash away.

As I understand it there is still a risk of a hard brick which means you can't get back into TWRP, unless I'm mistaken?

Nope. I don't know of anyone that has hard bricked flashing stock firmware.

Just got a T705Y today....

used to have the T705 a long time back...went to the S2 T715...left that...got a great deal on T705Y practically new was sealed but sometimes wonder about those seals...anyway manufactured just in June this year...runs much better than T705 used to and guessing it is all software (has to be)..has 5.0.2 now (back then like a year back 4Q 2014 was kitkat and a horrible keyboard back then)...
checked that there is a s/w update of 212MB available not sure what that is for
in terms of the Y version...see the Sm-T235...I have that too (and had the Y version of that briefly...the Y version (also Taiwan) for the T235 there is identical to the non-Y version except for some LTE bands...same roms, recovery etc...can check the xda board tab 4 7.0..this is the LTE 235 I am referring to (now 230/231/237 differ) but Sm-t235 and 235y are basically identical. So here too, I think some frequencies are different (enabled bands but otherwise same)
by analogy I am pretty certain the 705 and 705Y have similar degree of similarity and differences like the 235 and 235y...if one can say that..just some bands on lte (235 has the 850, the 235Y has the 700 frequency for example)

Thanks ashyx but I am wanting to flash a custom ROM not stock, and for a slightly different model number. FWIW among other reasons I'm needing Xposed to turn off the magnet screen off feature which is sometimes triggered by my magnetic car cradle.
I think mac has answered my question will and confirmed what I suspected.
Thank you mac for sharing your experience :good:

Well just to let you know I have flashed countless custom roms on my t805. For quite a while I was using a custom t805y rom which ran very well with no issues. I also think there is a t705y version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3127127
I now use PhoeniX ROM.
Pretty much any rom can run on these devices regardless of region.
The only thing is you may need to restore or flash the boot.img and modem for your particular device if you encounter issues.
I have only ever had to restore the modem.

Well i flashed t705 recovery yesterday and chaimsaw
Latest su2.62 that also works on t235 5.1.1...xposed running too
Sent from my SM-T705Y using XDA Free mobile app

Awesome thank you guys!

Hi Guys,
I have a T705Y. Was wondering whether I have to flash stuff specific to the Y version (of which there doesn't appear to be much) or whether I can flash T705 stuff to it as well.
I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
D.S

I have tried flashing SM-T705 rom onto my 705y model and it seems to work just fine. I used Odin to flash twrp then used twrp to install Lineage os 14.1 and the gapps ARM 7.1 FULL (a thread said only full version seems to work without errors I have not checked it).
ROM: [ROM][7.1.1][UNOFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 - SM-T705
you will find the link to the rom there

Tmobile note 2 aws band?

Can tmobile note 2 work on the aws 2100 band with a mod?
I tired of not getting signal in stores due to not having the 2100 band like s5 or note 4.

I am currently attempting to do the same. I will let you know if and when I find the answer or brick my phone!

I hope you don't, but do you think a new os like 5.0 or even 5.1.1 gives new modems?

Ok, so far it looks very hopeful and possible for us to do this and not brick our phones. If it it's a complete flash (ROM, binary radio band/modem, and base kernel) then yes. I have found that a number of ROMs do in fact have all three and it does work. The 4.4.2 or the 4.4.4 will in deed cause an OTA to Lollipop.
Go here first, gives you all the info you need to get'er done

Oh, btw, just a suggestion for you to keep your info safe, un-root when you have tested and are happy.
Good luck

There is no lollipop OTA on this device and it already supports the 2100 band I thought

Correct, the radio/modem does, however most of the bands we need are software locked. I have looked through a few of the forums covering how to modify our NV items, yet it seems to be a loose not to flash a new, stable ROM.
CM 12.1 (release, not the nightly) is a 5.1 lollipop ROM that I am trying to find out if is a full flash with everything we need. I'm not able to post the link, but it is easily googled.
I am awaiting a reply.

As far as I know you have to be on a stock based ROM to modify the NV items, at least I've only had success on stock since the modifications required using the hidden dialer menu

I finally received an answer on the modem/radio and it is No. That is an optional item they do not mess with and was also recommend we don't attempt to alter. xBkKx you may be correct considering they (CWM) did not state either stock or not. Secondly, I have also found in the near future, Tmo plans to change frequencies again due to the good levels of penetration achieved at 700mhz. Now, I must again find the chip set specs for the radio to see if we are able to achieve 700mhz.
Oh btw xBkKx, I did verify you are correct there is not an OTA for our phones. Turns out it is accomplished by batch, not OS. And the Note2 idea for an update was killed along time ago, just wishful thinking of others. Meant to mention that fact earlier.
I also have been trying to find info as to how "correctly" alter, modify the NV items for the radio do we can switch on more bands, yet it appears illusive. Does the SIM control these bands from being used? Does the firmware? Or both? !!! I can't seem to locate this info reliably. Might need to start a different thread just to answer these questions, but I am still hopeful and busy looking.......

I don't really know for your problems as all mine were cause I'm using an ATT Note 2 with T-Mobile. My SIM card did prevent me from getting LTE on T-Mobile for awhile though but it's a glitch apparently.
ATT aws mod - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068041
Note 2 preventing LTE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2-att/general/want-lte-korean-note-2-sgh-i317-t2877487
Not sure if either of those provide any additional help for your problem since you have the T889

Found this thread to be helpful from the two you listed,

We may be getting closer after all lol.
