I just bought a Captivate Glide. I realize it was running Gingerbread when I bought it but all information said I would be able to upgrade to ICS 4.0.
After installing Kies, I find that my baseband does not match the baseband eligible for the upgrade and I have no idea why this would be.
My baseband is i927ruxkj5 and the build is Gingerbread RUXKJ5.
Anyway, does anyone have any guidance for me? I found the upgrade outside of Kies in a separate executable file But I am not sure I should chance that.
Does anyone have any information? Or shall I just send it back, order a new one and hope it has the right baseband?
Thanks, in advance

start reading ..... get odin and the ics package from samfirmware.com. theres tonnes of threads on this already.
you've got i927r (roger) version, only at&t version has official upgrade to ics.
Put recovery(TWRP) with odin, backup efs, instal literom (Base one official ics) from recovery.

I see that we've managed to get our hands on a copy of the EG30 Modem, Huzzah! See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1381632
That's all well and good, but has anyone gotten the OTA update notification after flashing back? I used Odin to head back, hoping to get the official OTA. (I had previously unrooted and flashed the .tar file to go back to stock with the EG31 modem.
Looking on Sprint's site for the update (Here) I noticed that my baseband version is: S: D710.0.10S.EG30
And the Sprint website lists the official build as being: S: D710.0.5S.EG30.
Does this mean I'm still SOL on an OTA? (I don't seem to get the notification and a manual check doesn't pull anything up for me)
Or can I flash the update from recovery now that I'm on a version of EG30?
Thanks!
Sprint website has a typo. The version you have is what it should be.
They pick the MEIDs to get the update in a pseudo-random fashion.
Oh ok. Good to know. I'll just be more patient then. Thanks.
Can you provide any more insight into the selection process?
Hi All,
I wonder if someone would give me some help please. Basically I want to upgrade to the Official ICS released by T-mobile however my phone has a bootloader DarkSideX that I cant seem to get rid off. I've followed a posting on how to revert back to stock but this bootloader is still there plus when I start Kies it states:
Your device does not support software upgrades via Kies
Current Firmware version: PDA:KID / PHONE:K11 / CSC:KID (TMB)
Thanks in advance,
Aaron.
Get Odin and go to t989 android Dec section and find the Odin file its the newest one it was ugy in the name some where that's all I remember look thought the link

You probably mean 2.3 not 4.0.3. The differences between 4.0.4 and 4.0.3 are pretty much bug fixes, nothing changed really in the user interface. To change back to 2.3 go to the development section and look for a rom based on EL29. EL29 is most likely the version you were one before the upgrade.

Be sure to know that your contacts are sync'd, that you do the appropriate backups of data (I'd suggest Kies for you) and know that you will have to re-setup your phone going backwards.
Well, considering Sprint didn't OTA anything that was 4.0.3, you'll have to get one of the build leaks that may still have active downloads.. You can find those here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23478866&postcount=869
If you're wanting to go back to Ginger Bread, which is 2.3.6, and the official update before ICS, you can go to the following link after this sentence... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 - If you use this option, you can stop the notification by using the information in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774282
Or - If you want to go back completely stock, no root, and clean up your storage - Use the EK02, Reset Data, One Click. Don't apply the OTA update to EL29 just yet, do a factory reset, then apply the EL29 update. You'll have to continually ignore the ICS update since you won't be rooted.
Be sure to use the Full Restore, Reset Data option and not the No Data one if you happen to use the one clicks...
I edited this and removed my smart a$$ comments. Wasn't helpful nor warranted. Wouldn't want it done to me. My apologies.

Definitely more info needed.
What ROM is on your device?
What bootloader did you install?
What modem/baseband/radio is on your device?
What method did you use to try to install the bootloader?
Is your phone still showing the correct IMEI in settings or 0 ? (Compare between that shown in settings and under the battery.)
It may be as simple as updating your modem, but I/we can't tell yet.

I'm new at this, in fact I have flashed by old Captivate several times but yet to flash my SGS3. Anyhow, I have spent many hours reading. Before doing anything I suggest, read, and read some more.
Don't flash back to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 at this point. They will install an older bootloader than is currently on your phone. From what I have read, you narrowly escaped bricking your phone. You might want to read some of the threads regarding the 4.3 stock ROM and unbricking before making any changes in restoring your device.
You can probably fix this by flashing the modem that goes with the 4.3 series ROMs. It would also be the MJB flavor, although the MJ2 would probably work. Several of the 4.3 TouchWiz ROMs in the development forum have download links for the MJB modem. I would guess you were probably going to install one of them. I would recommend flashing the modem to see if that solves your issues before going ahead with the ROM flash.

The reason I didn't put a link in the previous posts was to get you to read about what you were doing as you searched for the modem. I am offering advice on things I have yet to experience on this device and only speaking second hand. My advice is only based on what I have read not on anything I have had to correct myself.
In truth I think you just stopped too soon in the process of what you were doing earlier. You said you installed the 4.3 bootloader in preparation to installing a 4.3 or later ROM that required the up to date bootloader. You didn't mention installing the current modem/baseband. You didn't mention trying to flash whatever ROM you had been considering.
You may be able to correct your device simply by installing the 4.3 modem. HERE is the modem thread, it is in the General Forum for our device. Make sure you pick the correct one. I don't know if your device will work well on the MJB bootloader and modem with a 4.1.1 ROM, from something I seem to recall reading I suspect it will.
Take this in steps. Install the correct modem, the one that matches your bootloader. See if that corrects you sim, data, and IMEI problems. If it does correct the issues, the next step is to decide if you want to stay on the 4.1.1 ROM or change to whatever ROM you had been considering. If you decide to change, make backups first. If it doesn't fix the problem while on 4.1.1 you may want to flash the version of the official 4.3 ROM enewman17 has provided on the development thread.
Take it one step at a time. Read about what you are about to do until you understand it well, all before doing anything. Make backups sequentially as you make each corrective step.
HTH.

thanks man for telling me what was wrong your an amazing human being and i love you (no homo) and thanks again a million thanks bro.
Did that modem fix some of the problems?
If your on 4.1.1 shouldn't you flash the DKL3 version or can't you just flash thru Odin the DLK3 stock ROM thru Odin Amd start all over again
I've been on 4.3 with that bootloader Amd have flashed back to 4.1 back to the baseband version DLK3 firmware. I would think being on 4.1 you should be able to reflash using Odin to fix the issue or flash the modem for 4.1 .
