noobnl and his team were just pissed it got leaked and the only way to get back at or to get the file removed was to play the mods by saying it was causing bricks.
xda mods got hustled...

From what I read over there...it seems that rom is ok, modem works but eventually bugs out and can cause a brick (but a soft brick which you can odin out of)...

Either way I opened the thread back up, and just put a warning to try at your own risk.

Some Samsung Galaxy S phones will not see Android 2.2 till 2011 – Android and Me

Did anyone read the comments associated with this link?

I'm curious to know if there's any truth about the GPS being a hardware problem and not fixable via software update, and that Samsung is pushing back the updates in order to get the maximum sales of the Galaxy S Tabs before coming clean that some issues aren't fixable. For those that have the new 2.2 beta's, is the GPS significantly better or is this some sort of placebo effect?

A lot of people are being confused but we have to remember..the Galaxy S is on 110 carriers in 125 countries (or at least will be)..OBVIOUSLY some Galaxy S phones may not see updates as fast as the other..the Epic is gonna get an update before end of the year as we can see by the betas.

In the first beta we didnt get a new radio so we couldnt tell..DK05 had the new radio and people who tried it said GPS has been fixed..BUT the radio does have other issues like soft-bricking the phone (hence why its a beta lol)

I can confirm ever since the dk05 modem was leadked, if fixes GPS
ALL DAY I have had fast lock ons at random tests.
never before could i do this.
as far as what i have seen, its a sure fix

Been running DK05 with DK05 modem for almost 3 days. I haven't had any problems at all. It is fast and stable. I haven't had any kernel problems and I don't believe I will. I believe the modem issues are XDA politics, never had a leak blocked on the XDA Hero forums. Must be an Epic thing?

My only issue is I still can't get GPS lock with it. I've cleared the GPS data with A-GPS and still no lock.
