I followed these steps, but Odin seems to get stuck, progress bar reach the end but then nothing happens, I left the phone plugged in by 5 minutes, I don't think it should take that long, don't know what I am missing, thanks.

Am also looking to flash my modem but a general question to the group which might be off-topic but do you guys see noticeable difference with different modems (battery life, performance, call quality)? Am in a similar position to szqnl and live in Singapore so thinking about doing the same thing and wondering how much of difference it will be.

What's the difference between Odin and Heimdall?
Heimdall has a big horn that can be heard everywhere and likes to lay around and party while looking out for Armageddon. Odin is more of a warrior and has a spear called Gungnir that was made by a team of master dwarf smiths and could strike any target in his field of view.

You have posted in wrong thread, for i9000.....
Download mode: good!

Flash with Odin or Heimdall only modem for your phone. Extract it from your last used stock rom, compress to .tar file (in Linux native, in Windows use 7-zip) and choose under PDA in Odin.

Alternatively, you can flash a whole stock image, but it will wipe all your data. Use Odin 3.04 or 3.07 and run it as administrator.
