Could someone please isolate GPS related files from the latest (revoked) JI5 update and create an update.zip to try them on other Galaxy S models too?
Here ya go. Flash via Clockwork. This wont work with the stock recovery I DONT THINK.
Updated my last post.

Installed fine from cklockworkmod on i9000 (mounting /system and /data before the update), will check the results on my way home.

Just tested and for some reason I cannot even get GPS to turn on. Going to restore via nandroid and try again.

GPS can be turned on for me, i just cannot test it tight now siting in an office building full of steel and concrete far from any window.
Ok I am not sure what my problem was but I reflashed this file and everything works great now. Must have been a corrupt flash I guess. Anyways, this seems to work pretty good. I am not sure yet if it locks on any faster than the JI2 files but it did lock on to 6 sattelites in 2 minutes using copilot GPS. Normally it takes around 2-5 minutes so Im not sure if it was quick because of the update or just lucky.
Hey, thanks a bunch for the update.zip!

Your using the Vibrant's gps files on an i9000? How come? What firmware do you run on your i9000? Just curious. because I'm using JM8 on mine and the GPS works phenomenally well with the drivers on that firmware.
tracks to compare
Hi,
I just arrived from a late evening shopping. It was a 14km ride away, having both my i9000 with JI5 gps files and my Wayteq N800 PNA on my windshield. N800 was running iGo8, i9000 was running Sygic 10, both recording the track. Here are the results:

i9000 is blue, N800 is magenta.

On i9000 I have JM2 (PDA) and JM1(baseband) - the latest available with KIES. I installed GPS files from JM6 (can be found somewhere in i9000 section) then tis update.zip. I'd gladly test gps files from JM8, but nobody creataed an update.zip from JM8 AFAIK. (flashing an unofficial firmware is no option for me, as Samsung would gladly invalidate my warranty because I was using a "pirated" firmware. - Some samsung representatives stated here that you will lose your warranty even if you allow kies to upgrade your software. So I have a nandroid backup from my pre-rooted JM1/2 to be able to revert that in any problemem arise.)
What I'll try to do right now is to put back my nandroid backup and apply vibrant gps files update without having JM6 files applied. I assume this two are so close that they have nearly identical hardware and firmware so GPS file update should work across the two phones

Nope, It seems sygic samples the position more frequently than iGO.
Thank you for this update file. Running JI4 with this. My phone went from never locking to locking 7/11 satellites in under 20 seconds.
Plus I have all the good in JI4 and none of the JI5 bugs.
oooops
Finally it seems I was totally wrong. Restored oroginal JM1/2 state from nandroid backup then re-applied vibrant JI5 GPS package. It seems it cahnged nothing in this case. Possibly the improvement compared to JM1 state caused by the previously applied JM6 GPS update installed few days ago. So guys it changes nothing on i9000.
gps issue !

I updated my vibrant today via kies to JI5. Immediately prior to that I did a nandroid backup. I was experiencing some buggy things after the update, and then I saw that Samsung pulled the update. So I decided to revert back to my previous build. I ran Clockwork recovery and did the nandroid restore. It all seemed to go well. Rebooted the phone and now, well, its stuck on the Vibrant Samsung screen. Nothing else happens.
Did I do something wrong? Is there a way to get back to my previous build, or even back to original stock condition??
PLS help...thanks.
BTW- I can manually get into recovery mode, so i guess I am not hardware locked. I just don't know what the best thing to do next. Thanks.
The new build has a different kernel that is not compatible with previous builds. You can download odin, the 512 pit file and the original JFD tar file and restore to stock that way. After that you can use your nandroid backup to get back to where you were.
doenloading files now
thanks so much...i will try that! fingers crossed.
WORKED! Thanks so much.
What "buggy" things and what did you have installed on your Vibrant before you did the update.
This? Which is 100% your fault?

You're right. The settings thing was my fault by installing the wrong MobileAP. But there were other strange things happening as well. A lot of force closes with widgets - particularly "word clock." Also, the phone would freeze and the display would stay on whenever I received a text message.
I guess it's possible that all of that was the result of the wrong MobileAP. But the fact is that the update was pulled due to "known issues" according to Tmo. So its safe to assume - at least for me - that this update is not ready for primetime.
EDIT: To be more accurate - the update was pulled by Samsung for reasons unknown. Tmo then tweeted that the update had "known issues." And now there appears to be a JI6 roaming around. So if JI5 were perfect, why the JI6?

I had little issues after I updated to JI5. Swype was very inaccurate, other keyboard were very buggy as well. GPS was not working very well, and there was more lag than before. So I did a reset and all of those bugs went away.
i just flashed bionix 1.3 from JI5 through clockwork with no issues.

I will show you how to flash DarkyROM 10.2.2 on your t-mobile vibrant, after the following steps,you will have superb battery life, and everything is working except GPS.
Update Nov 12/2011: new steps, easier then before!
I had previously installed CM7 on my t959, however I am not happy with it because:
1: GPS not working
2: Battery life is so bad... won't last a day.
Follow these steps to flash DarkyROM 10.2.2 on your T959.
(by no means this is a guide and I am not responsible if you brick your phone or cause any damage to your phone)
1: following this link to install DarkyROM 10.2 RE
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkyrom-10-2-resurrection-gt-i9000.4272/
2: install I9000 vibranted vG.3.0b kernel using CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299185
3: Install KB5 modem via CWM. see attachemnt.
4: Install DarkyROM App from the market
5: Download DarkyROM 10.2.2 zip file, put it in the root of internal sd card.
6: in DarkyROM App, deselect kernel and modem (so it won't overwrite your T959 kernel and modem with i9000 ones), then select install zip from sd card in darkyROM app, if asked give root permission to darkyROM app.
7: After phone rebooted, flash the key update zip mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299185
Done.
BTW, GPS not working, otherwise everything works.
Notes:
darkyROM 's modem is not compatible with TMobile or Mobilicity's AWS band, so you need a tmobile modem. here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=868774
you cannot directly flash the modems using odin (always stuck in my case). So use this tool to convert cwm mode from amend to edify:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903598
I used KB5 modem, then flashed the converted modem via cwm...
You need to install a i9000 based vibrant (T959) kernel, otherwise you will have not audio.
Please report back whether it worked for your or not.
thanks
BTW, the following attachments are converted edifying scripting modem file (KB5)
(I flashed KB5 unsigned below via CWM)
I haven't tested other modems, I picked up KB5 just because it is new.
No issues now
No issues now...
ok, on Darkyrom 10.2.2 a few days now, superb battery life! I was able to use the phone for 1d 12 hours without charging. Compare to CM7, the very same battery won't last a day/
solid battery life... my battery life is just terrible, im on cm7 as well, if someone could get the sound working on this i would rock this rom... i just have to have audio... i listen to alot of music at work
I've re-read this post twice and still don't know what the hell they're talking about.

DarkyROM 10.2.2, with T-mobile Vibrant & KB5 modem, confirmed working, nice work
I installed DarkyROM 10.2.2 resurrection package JVT-Base-I9000.tar today.
Followed your guide converting the KB5 modem zip to edify format.
With the kernel from DarkyROM ([email protected] #DarkCore_4.1.JVT) I had no internal speaker on phone calls (but speaker phone worked).
Changed kernel to Talon-SH-T5s_VIBRANT.zip and now I have internal speaker on phone calls.
Nice work.
Thanks man.
Glad I helped!
How is your battery? last longer?

I'm currently on UnNamed 2.2.1 with the 2.3.6 OTA Update (of course) UCKK6.
I would like to roll back to UnNamed 1.3.2 and the Original 2.3.4 / UCKH7.
All the searching and reading of posts has me in an easiest method tailspin.
I have a JIG so no worries on the flash count (I think this still works on 2.3.4).
I have mobil odin installed as well as root, superuser, CWM.
Am I just stressin, or can I just install "update-unnamed-v1.3.2-full.zip" via CWM?
Will I need a full wipe / App Reload?
I'm just trying to regain my bluetooth keyboard functionality. Mandatory for my travels. Battery improvements would be a bonus.

I'm also trying to prevent the loading of the 2.3.6 OTA updated.
I thought this was a diagonal double arrow icon but I do not see it anymore.
Also not seeing Device Manager as referenced in similar posts.
Anyone have a sure fire way to stay on 2.3.4 (at least until ICS).
Happily back to 2.3.4 and about to test my mini bluetooth keyboard.

It won't update if device management has been removed. I believe GTG removed it a while ago.
On an unrelated note, how do you like your Tab 10.1? I'm about to pick one up.
Mostly the kids machine.
2yrs,5yrs,11yrs old.
Dropped on several occasions without a case and still running strong.
I guess the fingerprints on the screen don't bug anyone but me.
The 2 & 5 year old boys I could understand, but the 11yo girl????
We need a new tub of screen wipes I guess.
The screen is significantly slower than the SGS2, but otherwise no issues at all with the wi-fi only version. Kids are watching netflix with it all the time.

Right. 1.3.2 only removed a couple of unnecessary lib files if I remember correctly. It also deleted some ringtones/notifications. I never officially went to it (I may have wanted those tones or something idk lol). I just deleted the lib files myself.
I'm running UCKH7 Stock Rooted and Entropy512 DD and would like to try UnNamed 1.3.2, but the download link is no longer working. Can someone send me a copy of the file?
Thanks
Probably a n00b mistake, but I just installed ExROM 2.0 after I had bionix 1.3.1 and my gps is seeing 12 satellites, but won't lock onto any of them. Checking with GPS Test app. It looks like other people report gps works great. Any thoughts on what I messed up or what I could do to fix this? Do I need to reinstall or something? I did choose wipe everything in clockwork before I installed this. Thanks.

If I was in your situation, I would first re-flash the ROM, then if that doesn't work, flash the latest SubZero kernel, and then if that doesnt work, go back to stock, flash bionix and test it to see if GPS is software destroyed (like mine was b4, tried every possible solution, nothing, so i waited for a few weeks, didnt touch GPS at all, and then one day, YAY it works again. Sounds like complete BS, but im not kidding). If GPS works again on Bionix, try going to another ICS rom (such as CM9 (it tells you steps and stuff too) or ICSzenwich from rootzwiki.) and then follow the steps from EXrom page. ^.^ Good Luck!
Thanks for the input. I just installed it again exactly as I did the first time and I'm getting gps data now. Weird. Thanks again.
Hello,
As per the thread title, I would appreciate someone sending me a copy of an IMEI-removed NV items backup from a Note 2 N7105. (Ideally both .qcn and text formats.)
Long story short I'm spending a month somewhere where LTE is on bands 3, 7 and 20 instead of my usual 4, 7 and 17. So, maybe (just a teeny tiny maybe, mind you) there's the possibility that feeding my franken-Note 2 (see the T889V LTE guide) some N7105 NV items would make it work on LTE here instead of just DC-HSPA. I'm thinking along the lines of the AWS mod.
And, along this strenuous path of uncertainties, I just might have the time to give this a shot. Of course, I do have an acceptable backup device on hand or I wouldn't be trying this.
Posting the files here could also help others who have had issues that can be solved by flashing NV items again.
(If you have the files but are unsure how to anonymize them, you could always send them privately if you don't mind me seeing your IMEI.)
Please specify the modem in use at the time the backup was taken, just in case.
Thanks in advance,
Darkshado

Hi Darkshado,
Did you happen to get your hands on a backup? If yes, would you be kind enough to share it here. My GPS has stopped working and I think I need a copy of the NV data backup.

Hi Rob,
I just replied to your PM. But yes I did try flashing with a PIT file. I am on 4.3 bootloader. I've flashed custom Nordic ROMs, not stock from sammobile.
I believe something happened to the GPS when I flashed mr.nth.na.vn's RR CM12.1
At the moment it seems GPS is not working on any other ROM except mr.nth.na.vn's RR CM12.1

I am in the same situation with u. Did all that u mentioned. Actually for some reason all the 5.1.1 Rom works for me.
---== N7105 ==---
yeah , i figured it would be something along those lines.
mine was borked well and before any of remix. i use daily in my sig and have done for a long time, and now im testing out RR, different cook but yeah. its not remix cm11 or 12. that borked gps.
After talking with you in pm, I have a new theory.
that is;
we probably need to go back and flash a 4.1.2 or what ever your phone was shipped with.
because i have a feeling that any thing later 4.3 / 4.4 all the tw roms. never did anything to the gps anyway. so its remained the same since factory release.
along the way it got broken during bootloader or specific rom flash's that tried to take into account peoples GPS problems. which was a bandaid on a gaping wound..
and the ones that did work, probably picked up on some specifics that would still work with modified gps data... ?
what u think?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but we cannot downgrade the bootloader, can we?
I really have no clue what changed and broke the GPS, but I'm just glad GPS is working again, and RR CM12.1 is good enough as a daily driver with ShiftLP kernel.
@leanhtai was kind enough to provide the backup file of his N7105's NV data. I will give it a go again when I get a bit more time. I have spent a ridiculous amount of time just trying to get GPS working, I will give it a go over the weekend.
Here is the link if any of you want to try it out.

Okay so I flashed Jedi X20 (4.1.2), GPS didn't work as expected. Then I restored the NV Data from leanhtai's back. GPS locked on straight away in 9 seconds with 3 meters of accuracy! So that's great and thanks leanhtai for your files. But another problem has come up now, my 4G has stopped working and I'm stuck on Edge (E). I guess I need the NV data from someone in Australia for the 4G to work?

So that's great and thanks leanhtai for your files. But another problem has come up now, my 4G has stopped working and I'm stuck on Edge (E). I guess I need the NV data from someone in Australia for the 4G to work?

He lives in Vietnam. So currently I can only use Edge on my Note 2 but GPS is working perfectly. I don't understand why someone with an Australian Note 2 can't just provide us with a copy of their backed up QCN file. It would solve all the issues.
Silly suggestion: buy an used Note 2, pull the data, resell.
Also, converted thread into a "project" so we don't have an auto split Q&A thread.

Guess the vn baseband is not compatible with yours...
---== N7105 ==---
Cant you just get your LTE back some other way.
tried the USSD codes?
Rob, I've tried a lot of other things but it seems NV data is independent of everything else. Flashing stock ROMs etc does nothing. I tried the USSD codes as well but I just lose signal completely. Given that you are in NZ, any chance I could try restore your NV Data onto my phone?
Thanks,
Sid

if your NV data is the same data that is related to broken GPS. then im afraid i have broken GPS also.
on device only. it takes up to 3 minutes to lock. even then. its probably just a google network or something TAG sync because its a grey and not a blue dot in maps.
I have an old backup of the phone i made ages ago but even that would not suffice. its seperate.
how do I know if its do-able ?
Yeah had a feeling it wont fix anything. I have some more bad news, I made a stupid move and flashed this on recommendation of someone else on this forum - http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...3g4g-aws-bands-on-att-galaxy-note-2-sgh-i317/
now my phone's SPC has somehow changed and I have no idea what it is or how to get it. I have tried all the conventional ways after reading for hours on the net but they are all for Sprint/ATT Note 2 and none of them will get me my SPC.
So I'm pretty much stuck now. Can't restore any other QCN backups or anything till I enter the right SPC in QPST

what do you need?
Actually I lost my EFS partition couple months ago. I was upgrading bootloader and modem to latest versions and after that i lost my IMEI, MACadresses and other things. I did EFS backup, but that time i didn't know it's not possible to make a valid EFS backup on N7105.
After 6days of fighting with EFS partition on my N7105 (i tried every possible solution), I discovered, that on Exynos devices there are 3 EFS partitions. One is used as normal /efs mount. Second is used as a migration temp during Samsung OTA update and third is something called gold backup. On this third hidden partition there is an original EFS partition from original stock rom. I tried making image of this partition and restoring it on /efs, but it didn't work. Then i read somewhere, that efs partition are in mulitple formats depending on rom version (actually modem version to be specific). So I did one thing i didn't tried during these 6 long days - i flashed ROM I had on my phone originally (it was some early JB release from my operator -tried 2 or 3 of them, cause i didn't remember what version it was).
I flashed original ROM using Odin with enabled options AutoReboot, Re-Partition, F. Reset Time and Phone EFS Clear. When phone booted up and i saw 3G icon - i almost jizzed my pants ;P
Finally I slowly upgraded my phone through couple versions of JB and 2 versions of KK to be completely sure that my EFS partition has migrated successfully to the newest version of modem (XXUFNI2).
I think this is important solution, which can help a lot of people with Exynos-based Note2 problems.
