Having a strange problem. All the txt i send are received as blank msgs. Also doesnt seem that i can receive txt msgs either. Phone calls work fine.
Im running SC 2.9.2 with the Ultimate Honeycomb theme. I also flashed the EC10 voodoo kernel found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003017
Any ideas. I think i might try reflashing the kernel.
It sounds like you are running an eclair radio on froyo. Check your baseband version. You need at least the dl09 radio and the eb01 radio is recommended.

Where do i check that? and where can i get the files to flash?
**EDIT**
Found the EB01. in the middle of a restore now so i'll let the results be known
Menu-> settings-> about phone to check your baseband (radio). Use this thread if you need to flash the radio:

Edit: make sure you have the appropriate samsung usb drivers installed prior to doing this. They can be found in the first post of the linked thread

I may be trying to do the impossible. If anyone can straighten this out I would appreciate it. On the theory of not trying to fix what ain't broken, the speed of the setup in my sig works perfectly (until FroYo arrives), but the only issues I still have are reception with 3G & the phonecall (hardly ever 4 bars) functions. I looked on the Team Whiskey site and put the JI6 modem zip on my SD card and attempted to flash it through Clockwork. It "appears" to have installed, but when I go to settings>about phone it still shows the baseband version as T959UVJFD. Is it not possible to use the JI6 modem without an "updated" ROM, or is there a way anyone knows of to do it, maybe using ODIN? TIA...
Holy moly I thought I was the only one with this problem but anyways. Just pull the modem.bin out of the zip flash it through odin, in the phone section

Cool. Nothing in pit or pda?
No I just left that alone.
Edit: to be on the safe side you should flash the 512 pit you can find it in one of the threads. Or do a search for eugene373 2 modem bin something like that. But I didn't use one and it worked fine.

There was someone else in the fusion section, that had the same question. Phone said, modem installed successfully, but the status shows JFD. According to the dev, once it says installed it is installed. The status might not show the updated info.

The baseband version is contained in the build.prop which won't change when you flash a new modem. But if you flashed it, its installed.

JI6 Modem Flash
I recently flashed my modem with the JI6 modem through clockwork.
it said it installed properly but i am getting no data coming through the phone?
Please help
Samsung Vibrant onyx
I've been running each version of SuperClean (currently 2.7) since it was released by adrynalyne. In my limited understanding, I believe that changing a rom does not change the radio being used. My radio (baseband version) is currently listed as being DL09 (see attached). Is there a way of updating the radio and is there an advantage of doing so? If so, does anyone know where I can find the best/latest radio for the Fascinate that will work with SC? I think I read somewhere that one's choice of radio can affect GPS performance. My GPS is currently working really well. Does the radio affect battery life (currently not very good) or other things also?
You need eb16 or eb01 radio to use froyo, sc2.7. Sc2.7 is removed and 2.8 is out now. There is a all in one odin pack on andriodcentral that gives you root, cwr, and sc in one pack. 15 minutes and done.

Bob-o, not quite sure I understand this comment, since I'm running Froyo (SuperClean 2.7) just fine with my older DL09 radio. I guess I'd like to know if there's an advantage to updating the radio, or should I leave it as-is and just keep updating the rom?

The EB16 modem will not work with the VZW Fascinate. If you want to update the baseband, update to the EB01 baseband. You may get slightly better battery life, and reception will also probably change slightly, though probably not enough to really notice. To update, you need to find a tar with the modem.bin for EB01 (or whatever baseband you want) and flash it via Odin. See here for instructions on flashing.
I've heard from some users that the DL09 radio works better sometimes than the EB01 radio. Some have reported better battery life. I'm running the debloated deodexed stock EB01 with the DL09 radio and it works fine, although I'm not certain yet if there's any improvement or not.

Both DL09 and EB01 work fine with all versions of SC. There's really no reason not to flash, unless you're uncomfortable doing so (I assume this isn't the case, as you're running SC ). You might get slightly better signal or maybe better battery life. You also might get worse. You won't know until you try it.
If it doesn't work as good as DL09, no harm done, just flash it back.
I've only been able to find the ED04 modem update. I have not been able to receive OTAs since I reverted from the GB leak. I ODINed DL09 and used EA28 & ED01 update.zips and am now on ED01. Every time I've tried OTA, I get "Server Unavailable".
Odin back to DLO9 and allow the ota from there. Something about changing up the build (such as different baseband than build) messes with the ability of the phone to properly connect to ota. The update zips may change something that is essential to ota. I am not certain but I have used this method consistently due to problems with others. I could be mis-interpreting your problem but I think you will find that ota will work with DLO9 as the starting point.

Thanks for helping but If I'm not mistaken, I tried to OTA from DL09 & DI01 but failed, which is why I used the update.zips from here to get to ED01. I never had a problem before I tried the GB leak.
You say you reverted from gb..was that an mtd gb leak? If so did you use the atlas2.2 pit file in the re partition box and revert with the official vzw tar( the dl09 or eb01) when you used odin? If you did not, I'm sure that will cause issues.
I'm not sure it will help your specific issue you have, but I know you always have to use those to revert back from an mtd setup.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I reverted from the GB leak from p3droid, after ruining a SD card.
I tried again returning to DI01 & DL09 with Odin. I used the atlas2.2 pit file as recommended. OTA still says Server Unavailable. I've tried it from different locations to make sure it wasn't a signal issue.
Any suggestions? Would love to be able to receive OTAs again and be fully updated. Stuck on ED01 through manual zip updates.

Odin to DL09
In the thread download the DL09 to ED04
then use CWM to go right from DL09 to ED04 in one shot!
Super easy without the silly OTAs
That's just the modem though, right?

Yup it sure is
I would try using odin to push the vzw official eb01 tar with the atlas 2.2pit and repartition checked
Let it boot fully and then try ota...I know if your modem doesn't match your rom it may cause ota update errors
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I really appreciate the help guys. Going to figure this out sooner or later.
I've tried going back to DI01 & DL09. Those were the official versions and what I've always done & I tried the atlas 2.2pit file as suggested earlier. I've also tried installing EB01, which I think was a Froyo leak.
Before, if I tried an OTA and wasn't on an official version, it would say No Update Available. Now, it doesn't matter if I'm on DI01, DL09, EB01 or ED01, it says Server Unavailable. I never had the problem before until I tried the GB leak.
Thanks again for the help and would appreciate any further ideas.
The first time I flashed a rom I knew I was never going back to stock...might I ask why do you want stock? warranty issues? I know its all a matter of personal preference and I don't know how much of a difference there is between ed01 and ed04 but I know landshark made an ed01.tar that is stock and will get you close to what is currently stock..might even wanna try and odin that and see if you can ota from there?..just thinking out loud really.

here is how to get back to stock and update without huge OTA's
Thanks for the assistance. I've updated to ED01 with the update.zips on here. Would like to get to ED04. ED04 supposedly had some tweeks for OTA improvement (ironic) and less missed calls. Any ideas to get OTA working again would be appreciated.

Once you ODIN back to DL09, there is a post about how to get to ED04 without the huge over the air updates. It basically involves ODIN'ing DL09, then using CWM to flash a zip that will take you straight to ED04. I used it after I was already on CM7, and it works if you are on other roms as well.

The modem one...was the most useful thing EVER.
out of curiosity, i have cm7 on DI01 and i am not getting messages and the messages i send are blank. would any of these methods fix the problem? im thinking it could be the radio. I had the OTA Ed04 but for some reason had to go back to DI01 to flash the rom.

I although radios are rom/kernel independent, I don't know if the radio is completely the problem but I wouldn't use that old if a radio with that new of a rom...
I have had excellent results with the ec09 radio...radio reception and quality seems to vary from phone to phone so try a few but thats just my 2 cents

Thanks much. I hear ec09 and ed04 are good ones. I searched under the cm7 forum but is there an exact forum that has those to download including instructions

I would try both and since the ec09 needs to be unzipped and then flashed (its not hard but its a lil extra work..either way id leave it for last unless your comfortable unzipping files) the install instructions are right in the same post with the link to download..its in the dev section
I would try ed01 or ed01 first because those are available in an odin version..enter download mode..flash in odin...done..if you don't like either of those, ec09 works great for me
They can all be found in the development section. In the stickies there is a post nitsuj wrote with a list of all roms/kernels/recoveries and radios find then all there

Hey guys, I've been having problems with my vibration since I flashed Blackhole a while back.. I've just flashed to Superclean v2.9.2 and I'm still having the same problem.. I get absolutely no haptic feedback even with all settings on.. I'm still fairly new to this and have been learning as I go but can't figure out this one..
Here's what I got.
Firmware: 2.2.1
Broadband Version: S:1500.04 V.EB01
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: SCH-I500.EB01
I'm sure I'm just missing something here. I appreciate any help. Thanks.
In your specific problem, I would odin to stock. here's why.
if you odin to stock and it doesn't work, then you are already set to take it to verizon. If it does work you are in prime position to go back to a custom rom knowing that it isn't hardware.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
So my best bet would be just to flash with a fresh copy of DL09 and see if it works? I'm assuming I should clear all my data and cache through clockwork also?
If you odin, then your cache and dalvik will be cleared anyways.

Hi guys I flashed my friends fascinate which was stock from 2010 with AOKP and AOKP devil build and CM9 and neither one is getting sms's to go through, they are sent blank and don't receive.
I tried adjusting APN but it seems to be already set up correctly.
Is it a radio problem? What radio should I flash as most of them I see seem really old.

Sounds like you didn't flash the radio. Use an eh03 Odin and then flash the from you want.
