As we know, nobody with this phone from american countries can use the gps if they upgrade to gingerbread from european firmware.
The user FMAranda had uploaded a brazilian firmware, wich version is 2.3.4:
http://www.multiupload.com/AUQF5ITOCB But, if we flash this firmware WE CAN'T ROOT THE PHONE.
If you want to solve the gps, the SOD (until now), and root the phone, do this:
-download gingerbread 2.3.4 KPH http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JTRTHJYN
-download brazilian gingerbread
-Flash the phone like this:
boot: KPH
modem: Brazilian
pda: KPH
csc: KPH
The gps works perfectly, no more SOD, and you can root the phone as you do usually from gingerbread 2.3.3
Finally, if you want to use "coderom", you have to flash the phone as the same way as you flash KPH:
boot: coderom
modem: Brazilian
pda: coderom
csc: coderom
@yoyigo07 el gps sigue sin funcionar, pruebalo con el gps status y comenta si te da señal de algun satelite o tambien mira mis post en htc, aii lo explico mejor bueno aclaro .. esto es para telcel mexico
You can root with my ClockworkMod Recovery port and the AceGingerRoot.zip that I've posted on the same thread.
Anyway, the phone only works well for me if I have 3G connections disabled. Including GPS.
3G isn't working only for Entel Chile (frecuency 1900 mhz), works in Claro and Movistar (frecuency 850 mhz)

Thanks, now I know.
I was thinking, if I do this, the languages available will be from the brazilian FW or the european FW? Because there's some differents between the PT-PT and the PT-BR. The european FW has only the PT-PT and the brazilian the PT-BR.
The language is from european firmware, but ilarrain has created a cwm where you can root the phone from brazilian firmware. Then you don't have the create a "hybrid" firmware, at least you want to flash with coderom
So, can I root my phone without flashing the FW again?
I haven't tried, but ilarrain said you could root from brazilian firmware with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138436
I have the coderom with the file modem from brazil
Question
Hi guys, I hope one of you can help on this.
I have installed the villainROM using these instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1087522
I am experiencing the same GPS and 3GS (Entel) issues.
What should I do now in order to fix, at least, the gps issue..... possible without having to reinstall
Thanks in advance.
Has anybody from Argentina tested this firmware and found it to work with the local 3G bands (850/1900), i flashed this FW over KPH 2.3.4 but i couldn't get 3G to work on Personal.
BTW, would it be possible to flash Gingerbread but keep the stock (froyo) MODEM firmware ?
thanks for sharing this useful info but I'll wait for some more comments.

Works fine, except if your band is 1900 mhz (for example, Entel Chile)

You can't do nothing with Villain rom.
If you want to fix the gps, you most do what I said in the first post and your gps is going to work, but you will not have 3G because our band (Entel) is 1900 mhz.
New question.

Thank you for the information. Now there is something that I don't understand (sorry if I am posting this information in the wrong place) , what exactly is:
a KPH.
a Coderom.
a Mod.
What's the name of the original firmware.
you mention that you can use coderom.
boot: coderom
modem: Brazilian
pda: coderom
csc: coderom
Thanks,
Thanks to the OP; finally solved my 3G and GPS issues since I flashed over my factory stock Froyo!

KF4 is after KE7 as in K is 2011 E is a month 7 is build
No change logs published by Samsung .
and how do i know what is the language of the ROM?
By reading the instructions on the first page of that link .
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Region codes.
This helps me a lot.
I ran a google search but i didn't find which is better and what is the diffrent
ZS = Hong Kong
XW = ?
There is something i would prefer?
Can I install any ROM i want? if i have XW version this is possible to install ZS?
You can install any ROM's any time over any ROM. ZS is dedicated for Hong Kong, ZN is China, why should you install them if you are not located in those countries? XW is open region I guess, it's mainly for Europe and some other Asian countries like India and else.

My Region is israel what rom should i pick?

I have found that XXKG6 ROM have the support i need but nothing mentions about JH. This ROM Runs android 2.3.4 i have 2.33 , If I will install the ROM
it will change to 2.3.4?
If you install a 2.3.4 ROM then you will definitely have 2.3.4.
Regards.
After i flashed the ROM, can I just install CSC with odin?
And if i will flash another kernel CSC will be removed right?
Kernel doesn't have anything to do with CSC. I don't the first part of your query though.
1. When flashing while i'm in install mode i always get an error:
cannot access system/csc/dbt/system
this is normal?
2. I have Frankenstein XXKG6 it seen to be great but there is an RTL fix to this build?
if not what is the recommended firmware that support RTL?

Hello, I'm sharing this rom, it's the latest build available for Latin America S5830LUBKPL. I removed the CSC (no carrier customization) and I've included the latest modem (baseband) available for the Brazilian device S5830BVJKPE. So, no more problems with band frequencies.
It includes English, Español, Brazilian Portuguese PT-BR and Korean as languages and is a One Package file.
Downloads:
Code:
S5830[B]B[/B] - [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?29gz3by2751cqqk[/url]
S5830[B]L[/B] - [url]http://www.mediafire.com/?bubhtmd555vihpq[/url]
PS:
B - Unbranded with the latest modem for the B model only.
L - Unbranded only, kept the original modem for the L model only.
Mmm, this works as Original UBKPL... Have all the google features and else?
Yes

Hi guys! Here's my question... I bought my SGA overseas and it is the S5830 version (no B or L). Now I'm in Argentina and the only data connection I get is GPRS (that is only by 2G). I know that the band frequencies of the carriers are not the same here and overseas so, is it possible to make the 3G connection to work??? I mean, what if I flash a new L-version modem??? Or is it that the basebands are hardware defined... Thanks a lot, cheers.-
It's hardware related, you can't change frequencies by flashing a different modem.
Very nice!

:cyclops:
Thanks for the rom, it goes very well in my S5830L
Hey,
I have a 5830B and since the first time I tried a custom ROM the number changed to 5830 without the B and whenever I connect to my provider using 3g the screen randomly turns off and I have to press the power button to lock the phone an then the home button to recover from this state.
The only way to use the phone without this problem is by using EDGE intead of 3g.
Do you think that if I flash this ROM this problem will solve?
Yes, it will, flash it and wipe data using the recovery.
Thanks for your answer. I will try it inmediately
If you won't mind I'll move this to the S5830i Android Development Section.
But this not work on i version.
wrong section no? this is Galaxy Ace S5830i Android Development
yeah , its posted in wrong section , well i tested the UBKL rom in SGA s5830L model, and not work the 3G network , only Edge .
I configure my apn's for my carrier (Digicel Panama).
So my problem now, is how activate the 3G data.
I also have a s5830i, with the same apn's, and the 3g conection work very fine :victory:
I don't now if the phone s5830L have a setting o tweak that i not activated or sometime
-- Sorry for my very bad english, i speak spanish...
ROM's for the model B don't work in I / C / M...... Wrong section.
My bad. Moving back
I have another question.
Is it possible to flash this with CWM? or I have to use Odin necessarily

Hello,
I'm looking for this stock rom :
Country/Provider: Ecuador - Claro
PDA: I9100UHKG7
CSC: I9100ECOKG1
Phone: I9100UHKG4
Version: Android 2.6.35.7 Gingerbread
PCODE: GTI9100LKLECO
HIDSWVER: I9100UHKG7/I9100ECOKG1/I9100UHKG4/I9100UHKG7
kernel version [email protected] #2
I have tried in several places including samfirmware.com with no luck.
According to CheckFus downloader and http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9100 there isn't an official ROM for Ecuador at the moment.
You can try a ROM for Chile (Claro) or Brazil (Claro or unbranded). Actually, you can try any ROM for samsung-updates.com (as long as it's for GT-I9100) because they'll all work with your phone and they all contain Spanish. As for Phone versions, they European ROMs are much better than the Latin American ROMs.
I am from Brazil (Claro) and I am using an European ROM (Nordic Countries, unbranded). It works flawlessly. Using Odin you can have it up and running in less than 3 minutes.
Hi Simonetti2011,
Well, my S2 came with that firmware preinstalled so I'm guessing it is another official firmware (probably from Claro Jamaica) modified for my country and carrier.
I'm using the Australian (UNBRANDED) XWLP8 (ics 4.0.3) without issues as well.
However in the event I want to sell it, I'd hope I could go back to the originial stock firmware.
I did take the precaution of doing a Nandroid backup, but I have read problems of restoring them. The safest way would be to flash the stock rom back.
So, thanks anyway, if you or anyone else gets your hand in that stock firmware, please do share.
EDIT: After your post, I decided to give it another try and find the firmware with CheckFus, but using the Advanced tab. Well, after entering the necessary data, IT FOUND the firmware! GT-I9100_ECO_1_20111005162240.zip (302MB). I confirmed it as well at http://fus.nanzen.se/, by entering the following data:
Model: GT-I9100
Product Code: GTI9100LKLECO
HIDSWVER: I9100UHKG7/I9100ECOKG1/I9100UHKG4/I9100UHKG7
So, now I have it, the original firmware for Ecuador, Claro carrier.
Good evening, ive purchase an s3 !9300 here in my country ( El salvador, Central America), i was able to root the phone and play with a bit but now i whould like to update the rom to jelly bean since im quite sure that we wont get that update officially soon enogh haha, so i was wondering if its ok to flash one of the recently released roms with jelly bean, i was thinking on the unbranded from UK that came out a few days ago. so it will save to flash that rom on my cell phone from latin america?
It's Safe dude you can flash any rom on your galaxy, you just need to be sure that you own an GT - i9300
An advice, check what modem ver have your phone, some modems work properly in some areas and others simply don't

The modem version is found on Configuración -- Acerca de -- Versión de Banda Base .. That is the modem..
I'm from Venezuela and I have my S3 on UK firmware without problem. But if you have problem with the signal strength you can find the modem here at XDA and flashing again.
I have a rooted galaxy s2(I9100) with custom rom by @Lysergic Acid (5.1.1) I searched all over xda and internet in general to find a clear statement about modems for romania. My mobile network operator is DIGI. I found a thread where it says that the region is specified in the name of the modem(my region would be xe or xx), but all modems i've seen for galaxy s2 are starting with xx so this information, not so valid. Also I couldn't find information about the latest modems, just some thread from 2 years ago. So if anyone can give me a list (maybe the newest, or the best tested(i cant ask for the best as ther isn't one)) of modems for my region(i don't know if they have to be compatible with the network provider) I would be grateful. Btw, my curent broadband version is : I9100XXLS6
Use XXMS2 sau XXMS4 (Vezi care din ele iti merg mai bine la DL-UP).
