Flash Modem - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Could someone send me in the right direction or just tell me do I use PDA or Phone to flash the KA6 modem.bin. I know using PDA is for the Rom.
I'm running KA5 right now and would like to test out the KA6 Modem. Should I just flash the whole KA6 rom since its newer and from reading seems more stable and faster?

Put ka6 modem in pda.

ok do you have the odin flash modem or the cw flash one.

Ok I have done that, Odin says File analysis, Get pit for mapping, Firmware update start, Modem.bin
It just sits there...
It shouldn't take long to flash a modem.bin

I have ODIN. Trying to flash KA6 modem.

Do you have a froyo rom already installed?

This should be in the Q&A section probably.
According to the superb Vibrant Modem reference page:
Just extract and load into phone section and Flash

Find the modem that uses clock work recovery, put in internal memory, reboot into recovery and flash "zip from sd" and locate your file...
Make sure battery is not low...have fun....

Yeah I'm running KA5 right now and wanted to add the KA6 Modem.
I have the KA6 Rom sitting here. I might just load the whole rom if the Modem flash go threw.

No I don't have clock work. I've Just tryed flashing the KA6 rom and I'm getting the same issue as with the modem. Its just hanging here and not doing anything. If I unplug my phone and try booting it. I get a phone to computer icon on the screen.

I never use odin so not much help...good luck tho...

Now the KA6 rom is going threw.. WTF I have never had a problem flashing before especially with a modem.bin..

you can dl a program called 7zip. you can delete the modem bin in the rom you wanna flash and then replace it with the one you do and it zips it back up and you can flash it that way.

FYI modems are flashed through Phone section in odin....
no pit....
and to the other people.
if his phone froze during odin, he's most likely not going to be able to get into Recovery mode.
so
USE ODIN and put modem.bin in the phone section and flash.

help is needed to downgrade from 2.2

Dears I upgrdede to 2.2 and seems to work but most of the phone functions didn't work so I decide to down grade to original 2.1 again.
I went to download mode started odin and put the files and started but nothing happend so I unpluged the mobile and ended with the phone not working so I cant run 2.2 or 2.1 tryed to go back to 2.2 but still it starts on the odin and then stops.
can any one help?
What do you mean nothing happened? And this is the wrong section btw.
odin started to use the files and then stopped saying dont turn target off, and took so long as if it hanged
What version of ODIN are you using?
odin 3.1 .........
And which rom are you using? Make sure its the JDF one and not the JI6.
Have you ever used odin before? If not make sure you have the samsung drivers installed. If using vista or windows 7 open odin by right clicking and run as administrator. Then once its open put phone in download mode and connect it to the computer. Try again.
I think you mean Odin3 1.0
You need to upgrade to Odin 1.7 first of all, it can be found in this section in the Bible. Then like he said, grab JFD and the 512 pit file.
can you provide the links please to get the 4 fils PIT,PDA,Phone,CSC
I will be gratefull
You only need the Pit and PDA
Odin 1.7

What froyo rom did you flash? Did you flash it through recovery or with odin?
also as someone else stated, you should move this to q&a. While some will help you none the less, a few of people on here like the taste of freshly seared meat from time to time

Vibrant voodoo bricked help

Sorry for being a noob.
but i install the voodoo lag fix through recovery mode and it stucked at vibrant/samsung loading page for 30 mins..i think something is not right..
i pull the battery. and reinstalled it. it stays in vibrant/samsung loading page now.
i tried recovery mode wipe all data...nothing work.
then i tried flash the origianl stock rom and it stucks...
i tried odin flashed the voodoo again...nothing works..
what should i do?should i flash another rom?
We'll need some more background on your current setup.
What Rom are you flashing Voodoo on and which voodoo are you flashing? You need to pick a voodoo that closest matches what the Rom is built on.
When flashing voodoo through clockwork, do you hear Linda? She should be telling you what progress you're making. It does take a bit of time so if you're hearing her then be patient.
Head on over to the developer section and flash Axura 2.2.5.7 which comes with voodoo. Easy peasy.
i m running stock tmobile 2.1 rom
download the Voodoo lagfix-only 3.0 Update.zip
i dont hear linda.
i am flashing the stock kernel and rom right now ..
waiting to see the out come after flash...
and i have a samsung captivate as well..
i know the processes of linda..
vibrant is not my phone..so...i really worried..
ok..stock kernal flashed..

Well lets get the phone working again first.
Did you use the .512 .pit and JFD .tar for a Vibrant?
yes i am flashing with 512 and stock rom.
i will try custom now..
From what I'm gathering the 3.0 voodoo update.zip is for the I9000 and not specifically for the Vibrant. I can't seem to find any Vibrant Eclair voodoo kernals.
Here's Supercurio's post for Vibrant Kernals Link. All of these are 2.2 Froyo Kernals.
Just to be clear that you got the true stock firmware read Here.
I personally would try any custom Roms until you get back to stock.
did i break my kernel or baseband?
i flahsed the true roms.....it is just not getting into the home page..

Try to flash them again using the link above.
Make sure you have Odin 1.3 or greater as well. 1.0 is known to be buggy.
I believe you broke your Kernal.
Try to download the files I linked to make sure yours aren't corrupt.
You can always try Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick. I can't find it on XDA at this time though...
EDIT - Here's working .pit and .tar stock files.
512.pit
T959UVJFD.tar
Hey drew if im out of line I apologize. But he said he had a captivate. Would the firmware be the same for our vibrants and the cappy.
Powered by Axura with a dash of Voodoo
thx bro,
trying again..even i use the same files..
but i realize i used odin 1.0 the 2nd time..
using 1.3 again to see.
he said it was stuck on the vibrant screen then he is also saying that he doesn't have a vibrant. Maybe he's flashing the wrong .tar that's why odin isn't working.
dude what's really your phone?
i m working on vibrant.
i m flashing vibrant rom on virbrant.
i have a captive. nothing to do with this
flashed again.. still black screen. after tmobile/samsung logo.
try to use this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790026
did you try checking the re-partitions?
i used 1.3 odin
and tried re-partitions.
well..i think...i need to try flash custom rom
can anybody tell me which rom i can flash through odin?
i see all rom manager ones..
This is Eugene's Froyo that doesn't brick.

But wait for the suggestions of others before you flash this. Literally, how many minutes are you waiting for when it boots?

baseband? how to update?

I upgraded to super clean 2.9.2, but baseband shows up as DI01. is that normal, or did mine not update?
Only Odin/Heimdall will work. We don't know where the modem.bin goes, so we can't use redbend_ua or any other recovery-based method.
Modem(baseband) is not included in super clean. You need to update via odin pda button. DL09 and EB01 modems work well with the latest superclean.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
oh...so do I just simply flash it through odin as pda? any prerequisites?
Here is a link to the EB01 Modem.
http://www.mediafire.com/?1r7uk6gf8d6s76z
You will need to use ODIN to install this.
Use the PDA button ONLY, navigate to the location of the modem file, click it, then run odin. Your phone will reboot and verify that you have the correct baseband.
If you do not know how to use odin I highly recommend reading this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948722
...thoroughly before starting with odin.
Good luck!
note* the link to the guide also contains information about flashing the EB01 modem and the same link I have published here!

As long as you use the PDA button and have used odin before you should be fine. Its very straight forward. Just D/L the modem from my link and your good to go!
after I flashed through odin, there seems to be a problem with the battery...?
charge level was 51% before I flashed, but after it showed up as 100% instantly. what's going on?
I don't know the actual cause, but I would assume it has something to do with the battery stats more or less.
You might try turning the phone off and leave it charge over night and in the morning wipe the battery stats (search for this there are plenty of threads! ). Then drain it before charging next time. You should see the battery return to normal.
I wouldn't be to worried about it as I have flashed my phone(stupidly I will admit) at any number of different percentages and I still am getting great battery life.

Since I jumped into the xda forums after eb01 had come out, I've been trying to find a DL09 modem to use with Odin. Seems like most people are going crazy for thew newer basebands, but I've heard that DL09 works great with both GPS and battery life.
That said, you don't happen to have a working DL09 download link that you could toss on here do you?

Thanks dude. btw, the only time i've flashed the modem before was when I first made the jump to eb01 a month and a half ago. Is it ok to just ODIN the modem, or do I have to re-flash a rom after I flash the modem?
*edit* well, I went ahead and odin'd the modem over top of all the stuff I've already got on there. <fingers crossed> Seems to work so far.
Just modem is fine. Remember to use PDA...

Oh yes. I *have* used ODIN several other times, especially for recovering from some sort of boot loop and a few other issues, so I'm very familiar with the PDA button by now. But probably good to have that warning there in case anybody else reads this for help later on.

Help quick please!!!!!!

Hey all , im running evil fascination 3.6 and am trading phones with another person and wanna go back to full stock ed01 im guessing ...what is the easiest way to do so with odin ????...I DLed THE ED01 TAR AND NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT
Search for the ODIN sticky.
Use the Pda button.

Odin DI01 and OTA the rest would probably be your best bet

What ED01 tar file did you download and where did you find it? I was not aware there was an ED01 tar file that would give you full ROM, kernel, and modem. Best bet would be to ODIN back to DL09 and OTA from there.
i got the ed01 tar from the forums landshark

Which thread? Because I scanned the threads looking for any mention of an ED01 tar in the thread titles and couldn't see any.
Ooops, my bad. I had forgotten about imnuts' thread with the stock ROM and kernel. Is that the one you downloaded? As long as you are reading ED01 under baseband in menu=>settings=>about phone, you can flash that ED01 file in ODIN and you will be good to go. If you have ED03 under baseband, you may need to ODIN back to DL09 in which case you will end up at ED04.
EDIT - and I just read more of imnuts' OP. The ODIN file is rooted, the zip file is not rooted. If the person with whom you are trading is expecting a completely stock phone, you will have to go with the zip file.
yea but where do i put the tar file
if i wanna OTA all the way where do i put DL09 file in ODIN

in the PDA section. If you are running a voodoo kernel, make sure you go into CWM first and disable lag fix before you flash back to a stock, nonvoodoo kernel.
ok i disabled but if i go back to DL09 what about the modem and **** or is that all in the DL09 all in one package

DL09 ODIN file contains ROM, kernel, and modem. Then you will OTA up to current stock ROM and kernel, and current modem.
If you haven't already started flashing the DL09 file, make sure you are using this one, it is the Verizon one:

power down phone, pull battery, open ODIN on computer, plug USB cable into usb port on computer (preferably in the back by the motherboard), plug phone into usb while holding volume down button. Yellow triangle will appear on phone, far left small rectangle in ODIN will turn yellow, click PDA button, find DL09 tar file, double click on it, hit start button on ODIN. When done, pull usb cord, put battery back in, power up. Skip through setup, go menu=>settings=>about phone=>system update=>check now, OTA's will pop up.

[Q] Possible Soft Brick

SOLVED Flashing stock with odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2289325
After a couple hours of searching I haven't had any luck fixing what i've mistakenly done to my phone.
I made a new account and am first posting because I am at witts end.
The status of my phone is-
it will not boot.
It hangs at the Samsung Custom screen.
I can only get into download mode.
When I try to boot into recovery the blue text top left says it's booting but it doesn't boot into recovery.
I suspect I corrupted my recovery somehow.
I've tried flashing different kernels with odin and the few that ive tried successfully flash but same thing still happens.
I think I need a CWM recovery or TWRP recovery that I can flash with odin? Is that a thing?
Any point in the right direction would greatly be appreciated.

You can try that I don't know if it'll work in download/odin.
I suggest just flashing the stock update via odin and re root..

It's nice to have my phone back , I was getting really worried there for a bit..
I had TWRP and CleanRom Running just fine but after a few mods and a reboot it hung on me.
I wonder if anyone is aware of these issues or if I'm just 'special' Hmmm
I really wanted to have a LIGHT TouchWiz rom that I can add mods to myself.
Any suggestions?
