[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
I made backups before I did anything using redbend_ua, I have not tested these and no idea if they will work. Heres what i did:

redbend_ua dump /dev/block/bml7 /sdcard/bml7

and

redbend_ua dump /dev/block/bml8 /sdcard/bml8

This process went through a reboot and supposedly dumped the correct files. they are both 7,680KB or 7.50 mb

If anyone would like to try and flash these I am pretty sure redbend_ua will work to re-flash its dump? I can post them if anyone is willing to test. These both should be bml7 & bml8 stock dumps before i loaded voodoo5.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phillup:
what happens if I do this without disabling voodoo? I can't at this point
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I sent you a PM
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
forgive me for not reading your whole conversation, but are you looking for the stock kernel for the mesmerize or showcase?

I have the showcase one...
[Samsung Mesmerize] BubbaKush:
omg elijahblake would you please be kind enough to share the showcase stock files with me to reflash my showcase using odin?

p.s. i see your in jackson, ms. Im in flowood :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] Circlel05:
I have the same question. I wasn't able to get it disabled and got stuck on the recovery screen.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
How long does the process of flashing a Mesmerize totally back to stock take... on average using the OP's instructions? DO I need to install the USB driver to get Odin to see the phone?

Does anyone have just the stock kernel for the Mesmerize yet or can post a link? I'd like to try flashing just the kernel to fix my Voodoo Sound issues before I have to go all the way back to stock.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
From what others have stated, at this point our only option to go to stock is through the odin process, no seperate kernel file is available to us.

I've read that this process can take as little as 5-10 minutes with those steps. (it's pretty strait forward, select two files in odin and hook your phone up after, the hard part is getting the phone to be seen, this I haven't had happen successfully in my one test of using odin.)

So I do also need to know about your question regarding the drivers, as none of my USB ports were recognizing the phone when I tried odin once. So if anyone else could advise on that I'd appreciate it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
I installed the Samsung USB driver and choose Kies when I plugged in the USB cable and ODIN saw the phone.

Clicked start and here's what I get:

<ID:0/005> Added!!

<ID:0/005> Odin v.3 engine (ID:5)..

<ID:0/005> File analysis..

<ID:0/005> Enter CS for MD5..

<ID:0/005> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<ID:0/005> Please wait..

<ID:0/005> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/005> Leave CS..

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

Does the phone go totally blank during this process? ODIN seems to just be hanging at this step:

<ID:0/005> SetupConnection..

Do I need to have the phone in recovery mode when I connect it?!? (Voodoo Lagfix is disabled.)

Do I need to Wipe Data/Factory Reset first?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You need to put the phone into Download mode. Pull the battery, plug in, volume down and you will see the download screen. Odin will see your phone and with the files in place as posted in the OP, push start and away you'll go. Pretty painless process, but it can be frightening at first for someone who has never done it before.

Good job on the disable lagfix, btw... it seems that we are drilling that in good and deep... lol.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
Plug in with no battery in? May seem like a stupid question, but I help write manuals and that's what I'm being told here.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Yup. You can plug it in with the battery in, but you still need to pull the battery. It's not a stupid question, just an odd thing to have to do.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
LOL... dude, you're killing me!

C'mon. :confused:
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Just pull the battery out. Push volume down. I've done it both ways and it doesn't really matter.

Just follow the directions in the OP and you'll be fine. Stop being a technical manual writer and take a leap of faith. lol... I promise it's not that difficult and plugging the phone in with the battery in or out isn't going to make a difference. When you pull the battery your phone will die and when you push volume down with your phone plugged in, it will go into download mode.
[Samsung Mesmerize] monthlymixcd:
I got it... I got it. Now ODIN's doing what it's supposed to...

As always thanks for your help.

(Actually super easy once my brain shut off.)
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
YES!!! 2 points for the Phi Delt!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Updated the OP with a stock kernel only package

Added a flashable package with a stock DI14 kernel. I don't know why I didn't think of pulling this out before to make a kernel package, but it's there now.
[Samsung Mesmerize] splitzs69:
this post was a god send :) glad some people have the smarts to fix our mistakes lol thanks x 100
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
you make it sound like that was an absolute guess phi.. :P
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No but after the several attempts at explaining it that day, I felt like I really earned it that time. Technical writers can be a difficult bunch to explain things to, since they actually write the manuals for things and that's what monthymixcd does. It was a long hard road. lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] jeremym8:
Installed Clockwork and Voodoo onto a co-workers Mesmerize. Has been working great for about 4 weeks. However, just noticed it will no longer connect to a PC via USB. When USB cable is plugged in it will charge but not attach as a drive.

Tried to boot into Download mode and use Odin to flash back to stock but again is not seen by PC. Installed Samsung USB Driver and rebooted PC. Have rebooted phone multiple times but unable to figure out a solution. Have tried with Debugging turned on and off and nothing is working.

Can anyone help with this issue?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
Usually when it reads it as a CD drive you just need to unplug it, enable USB debug and plug it back in (make sure you select MASS STORAGE on the phone, when asked, unless you have it automatically set to USB)

As far as your odin problem I had that same problem when I tried going to stock long ago, when I recently updated to 2.2 installing the drivers from that post from dcow corrected my problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jeremym8:
Doesn't even ever see it as a CD drive. I have USB settings set to Mass Storage. Have tried it with Debugging Mode On and Off. Used to see it as a CD drive until I mounted it as a drive on the phone....but don't get that option anymore.

I also installed the drivers from dcow's post about 2.2 but no luck. I now get a Windows error on a Windows 7 and XP machine saying:

USB Device Not Recognized: One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it. For assistance in solving this problem, click this message.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jeremym8:
UPDATE: Spoke with Samsung and it sounds like they pushed Update 1 to his phone so he is on 2.1 Update 1. Thinking the update most likely broke it but they said he needs to take it to store (not sure how they will treat it since it is rooted and flashed) or send it in to Samsung and they will remove the update.

So, if they are able to do it, there has to be a way for us to do it......can anyone help me figure out how to revert to 2.1 without the update??
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
This is a shot in the dark, but I had a battery that affected the ability to charge and mount from usb. The phone worked fine but i couldn't get those two things to work. Swapped the battery with a different one and it works fine. Osmonitor reported the battery had an "Unsecified Error" whereas a good battery showed up as healthy. Try swapping yours to his? Everyone is on stock 2.1-1 when the phone comes out of the box
[Samsung Mesmerize] obliviator33:
Thank god for this thread. After doing some things I probably shouldn't have I royally f**ked up my phone, but not for too long thanks to this :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] JUSMEJOSE:
i flashed everything but... the phone keeps turning on and off... then gives a error msg with the launcher .... i flahed so many galaxy phones but just this is the first phone that is giving problem..
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
FYI For anyone that comes across this thread - this is how you get your phone back to stock as you got it out of the box with 2.1-update-1.

You don't need to use this if you're planning on returning to 2.2, you can simply use the appropriate stock odin 2.2 (EA11, or EB16 as of now) and you would have the equivalent of this - but at 2.2 froyo.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Updated OP to include official full restore package. This is not an update. This is a FULL Odin restore. It will wipe everything out on your phone except the phone number, just like the DI14 version.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
The 2.2.1 restore will have the full compliment of USCC and Samsung Touchwiz software?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
uh, yeah... That's why it's listed under the "Files to get your Mesmerize back to stock" thread... This will completely wipe your phone back to stock, just like you were getting it from the store (only the store doesn't have 2.2.1 yet)
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
Thanks man, realized it was a pretty dumb question after I asked it.:D
[Samsung Mesmerize] elitegamer2009:
Ok just updated to the Official 2.2.1 so where do i get voodoo and cwm so i can reinstall my custom themes and boot screens
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
search is your friend, or just look through the development section...you will see everything labeled EC10 and use it...we dont have source yet so you will have to use EA11 voodoo, which works just fine for EC10
[Samsung Mesmerize] snowgod76:
Need to go back to stock to bring the phone in for hardware issues. I have flashed the EC01 radio, will this flash back the EC10?
[Samsung Mesmerize] ChromWolf:
Unless I'm completely mistaken, this will indeed flash your radio back to stock, as this will flash everything back to stock, from the OS to the kernel, even back to stock recovery. Since you're bringing it in for service though, that's probably an ideal result.
[Samsung Mesmerize] snowgod76:
Thanks, that was the answer I was looking for.
[Samsung Mesmerize] King Mustard:
I tried to flash 2.2.1 via. Odin 1.3 and although Odin goes Green/PASS!, upon the reboot are several error messages including "FOTA wipe failed".

When reboot completes, Samsung Recovery Utils appears but at the bottom, it states:

E:Can't mount /dev/mount/block/mmcblk0p1 (Invalid argument) # MANUAL MODE #

If I choose the top option in Samsung Recovery Utils ("Reboot now"), I get an exclamation mark with the green Android robot below.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
That's the error you get when you mix RFS/EXT4 formats, see this post (search is your friend ;))->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032997
[Samsung Mesmerize] King Mustard:
I can't install a Voodoo kernel as I don't have an Odin-compatible Voodoo kernel to flash and Samsung Recovery Utils doesn't allow a kernel flash via. a zip.

I have tried to flash ClockworkMod Recovery via. Odin so that I can install a Voodoo kernel within ClockworkMod but the ClockworkMod flash always fails (Odin says Pass but the phone just reboots back to Samsung Recovery Utils).

Any ideas how I can get a Voodoo kernel onto the phone so I can continue with the guide you posted?
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Updated OP with full build of EE19 and a flashable stock kernel.
[Samsung Mesmerize] King Mustard:
What is EE19?
[Samsung Mesmerize] Iguana775:
I'm still having issues with missed calls/texts/going in to air playing mode. So if I flash the EE19 stock and take it in, they couldnt tell one way or another if it's been rooted at one time, right? just want to make sure before taking in.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Actually EE19 isn't available to the public for flashing. So if you take it in and they ask you where you got it upgraded, tell them it was from a store technician. They are the only ones upgrading phones right now. The only way to tell that you've been rooted is by the apps on your phone. If they require root, then chances are, the phone was rooted. Also, your sdcard needs to be sanitized if you want to get rid of all chances of them seeing anything.
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
Just a heads up, ee19 was released by uscc to the public today.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Nice... I thought it wasn't supposed to go public until Friday. Thanks for the heads up.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Solarays:
Thanks for the great work, it is much appreciated. Currently using Heinz57 w/Androdena Galassia on USCC i500 flashed last week. Can you verify that the EE19 you compiled is the exact same as Todays USCC EE19 so I don't have to reflash? From what I understand the USCC version firmware may say 2.1.2 now.

Looking forward to supporting your work, it is needed.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
2.1.2 would be a step backwards. This is 2.2.1.

Yes I can confirm that it's the same thing. I work for the company, and I've compared them. Exactly the same.
[Samsung Mesmerize] Solarays:
Sorry, my typo - (2.1.2 should be 2.2.2).

Thanks for clarifying.
[Samsung Mesmerize] poonjahb:
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I just redid my phone with ODIN twice this evening and it is not wiping out my messed up apps and data. I used the .pit and .tar.md5 from the EE19 download in the first link. I even tried checking the re-partition box. Is there some other magical ODIN setting that I am missing?
[Samsung Mesmerize] akellar:
If you want to wipe apps/data just do a factory reset.
[Samsung Mesmerize] poonjahb:
I don't just want to wipe apps/data, I want to refresh the phone back to stock as I seem to have really jacked it up. datadata partition won't mount, it doesn't save preferences between reboots, and other random silliness. I may try the odin thing one more time then drive over the phone and take it back to the store if that doesn't work.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
try doing a factory restore with the option in your phone. reboot.

once you are in the phone then pull the battery plug in USB and run odin and flash it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] keenano:
Lost roaming 3G

So I lost roaming 3G when I flashed the latest Heinz update. Never had a problem with this before. I couldn't update the PRL because the phone app would crash on every attempt. I have resorted to doing a full EE19 stock restore, but still no 3G while roaming. This is a problem since I spend 90% of the time roaming. Any ideas on how to correct this issue. Thanks
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
EE19 Question

Does the EE19 file here contain bootloader or would I need to use the EC10?

Making my "backup" folder JIC something goes wrong from MTD.

thanks in advance.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
All of the files here are full builds. They contain every partition for the phone so you will be able to repartition in Odin.
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Thanks Phidelt! And thanks for everything you do for us here.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
I would only do this if you are on a full stock build. CWM is the best way to wipe data/factory reset. If you use the in rom option with custom rom's/kernels (specifically voodoo with lagfix enabled) you risk mixing RFS/EXT4 and you'll have to end up flashing a full build in odin, so best to stay away from that option.
[Samsung Mesmerize] swampthing1117:
Does anyone have any ideas for me? I completely and totally forgot that i had installed voodoo lagfix and i did a factory reset. It completely puked on reboot and now i can ONLY get into download mode. Can't turn on the phone at all.

I've tried using odin to flash the two files at the beginning of this thread but odin fails every time when it tries to flash the boot.bin.

Any suggestions for saving this phone?
[Samsung Mesmerize] mbrulla:
Flash the full build of EE19 in ODIN and check "repartition".
[Samsung Mesmerize] sdhotwn:
Are the files included at the start of the thread full USCC files including the radio files? Or are they using Verizon radios or other components?

Reason I ask is I did use these a few months ago to get back to stock and things have generally been fine, but my phone refuses to work in the Chicago area, but is completely fine everywhere else. Zero signal of any sort when close to Chicago, fine anywhere else. Super weird and I'm trying to trace down what the cause could possibly be.

Thanks!

Steve
[Samsung Mesmerize] Riarle3:
Okay, so I read through the thread and I can't find anything that will fix my problem. I had CM7 on my phone and it worked except that there were glitches and I got to the point where I just wanted to reflash it to stock. I followed the instructions, disabled voodoo's lagfix, and tried using odin to install the EC10 stock files. After clicking start on odin, i follow the activity log in the bottom left and see that it gets stuck on factoryfs.rfs, and after about 30 minutes it fails. What did I do and what do I do about it? Please help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] pyrostic:
anyone have mirrors with megaupload down?
[Samsung Mesmerize] dsauce:
Can anyone re-up the full restore packages with megaupload gone? My mesmerize is completely borked, only boots to the samsung recovery utils screen, tried everything, and I think I'm at the point where I need to do a repartition/restore, but cannot find a source to get any full restore package for the phone :(

[Samsung Mesmerize] Dreadlink:
Having issues

So basically my phone was freezing up. It was stock and I decided to reflash it so that I would stop getting error messages from TouchWIz. Long story short I thought I did it correctly but for some reason my phone resets EVERY time I turn it off.

1. I opened Odin.

2. Selected the .pit file

3. Selected .tar file and checked PDA

4. Pulled battery and put it in Download Mod

5. Ran Odin and completed sucessful

Issues Occured:

I started my phone up and EVERY APP I had installed crashed and I got a ERROR message.

Then I uninstalled and re-installed all of them even though I assume re-flashing would remove them.

Phone appeared to be working right.

But then I restarted the phone and all my text and info was gone. Strange.

So what do I do to re-flash correctly to stock?

[Samsung Mesmerize] Klown80:
Hi guys. I'm trying to help a friend fix his phone. Not sure exactly what he did to get it boot looping so I can not tell you how he did or more importantly what he did exactly. I just know it will boot loop at the first samsung logo, it wont go into recovery but I can get it into download mode. I have all the needed files to fix I think but I am stuck on the driver situation. No matter which driver, computer, USB port, or cable I use I can NOT get the computer to recognize the phone, it always pops up as an unknown device as soon as I plug it in (without battery) but before I can hit Vol down, no matter which combination of cables, computers, usb port, and drivers I can not for the life of me get the computer to recognize the Mesmerize.

Any ideas would be very gratefully accepted at this point, I hope someone can help me figure out what I am doing wrong. This is not the first time I have used Odin,but I can not figure out what I am doing wrong!

***EDIT***

I got download mode working, now no matter which pit and tar files I flash, it wont boot past first logo. I even tried Heimdall, any ideas?

[Android Apps and Games] mikep99:
Add it as a widget, not a shortcut. You should have a number of different sizes available.

I'm guessing that it only loads system apps. I just rebooted using Quick Boot, and when I checked my phone I was in safe mode! Anyone else want to try this? Just use the default reboot option in Quick Boot.

Yah it is so that if you get a bad app you can delete it and you do this by holding the home or menu button when you boot up the phone.

Ah, I must have pressed it in my pocket while rebooting. This is a new feature, I'm guessing.
