[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
Also an interesting fact is that a buddy of mine (no names on here) whom actually works for CS corporate; is actually running a "US CELLULAR Mesmerize". It's the actual demo phone they gave him months prior to the Showcase release. I know this for a fact, I've actually used it, and played around with it. Even says US Cellular on the top of the screen. Came preloaded with the movie Avatar also. His phone of course works flawlessly on CS's network. He's still using it to this day. I'm pretty sure they just activated that device ESN on the network, but I wonder what exactly we would have to edit to run say Mesmerize or Fascinate software on the Showcase. His phone is also 100% stock, NOT Rooted.
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
I have access to a rooted (z4root) CS Showcase phone with no other modifications if we need some files. I will need someone to guide me on saving the files.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
i Updated the first post to tell all the files we need...

THere's 8 or 9

If you type those commands using adb shell it will copy those files from your phone's system and place it on your SDcard.. Then just zip them all together and upload to dropbox (see my sig if you need one, it's free)

THen just give me the link and I'll try to investigate more on what went wrong.. Besides the fact the files we used weren't stock....
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
ill see if i can buy a showcase with a bad esn or something and get some file for you...it may be a few but ill keep an eye on this post and if i get paid before you got this fixed ill find one and help out all i can
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
I have sent the link to your inbox.

Hopefully this will help!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Thanks again ocs111 for the Files!!!

Ok, I have all the files... Too bad we don't have a tester... At this point I would only recommend testing if you SERIOUSLY aren't scared of BRICKING your phone..

And this is no soft brick if it goes wrong. It's a Paper weight brick...

In theory, since these are from a stock phone you should be fine. But there's no way I can guarantee that.

So whoever flashes this, you're doing so at your own risk!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
thanks Tator,

I've got the NEW files ready to go, now all we need is a BRAVE tester!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Rich:):
hey dude getting a new phone tomorow lol. (hopefully :))
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Good!!!!!!!!

Stay STOCK, 2.2 is coming out within a MONTH for CSouth!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
I need 1 MORE FILE and WE WILL have the exact same ones the Mesmerize has in their ODIN Flash!!!!

dd if=/dev/block/bml8 of=/sdcard/recovery.bin bs=4096

someone please get me this ASAP!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Rich:):
I don't think that one really matters... It will just make it where you don't have clockworkmod.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, that's what we want right? A STOCK SHOWCASE? That's what I'm going for.. Believe me this will help us all out when 2.2 comes out!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Rich,

You know since you are getting a new phone... You could ROOT, then do a factory RESET so all your account info isn't on there, then pull ALL the files from the first post.....

osc111, has gotten me all but the new file I discovered we need, but I didn't think to have him do a factory reset....

I'm not sure if it's a big deal or not, or maybe you know which of the files this will affect???

Let me know
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
I can pull that last file in the morning. I will send it to you as soon as I get it.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
If I see her before you get the file, I'll get it... And i'm assuming the CS "official 2.2" will be just as bloated as the rest of their updates and software..
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yeah, i'm sure but Phidelt82 will have us a picknpack in NO TIME after it's released ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
That's what i'm gonna wait for.... I'm not even gonna bother doing the official CS update. That Hero 2.1 update was a massive disaster... lmao.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
yeah, i read people complaining on facebook.. you've got to think about the people trying to do it though. But yeah it sounded like they made it way more complicated than it needed to be...
[Samsung Mesmerize] imnuts:
Does this actually pull the modem.bin file properly? As far as I was aware, there was no way to pull the modem.bin from the phone without tools that we don't have.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, that's what I've been wondering, because the size of it when pulled from the showcase is only 512KB but the mesmerize shows as 15000KB...

check this thread HERE

but i guess he didn't really have to change the modem..

So basically this will work AS LONG as our modem hasn't been flashed over? Like as long as we've only kept showcase Roms on it...

Well, I guess something is better than nothing

edit**

while you're in here can you tell me what

dd if=/dev/block/stl3 of=/sdcard/efs.rfs bs=4096

does and would this be necessary? I saw it from the post above, but the mesmerize doesn't have this file in the ODIN flash...
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
Yeah, doesn't sound like they have to greatest tech group there... Their techs have been bricking Showcases, just rooting them.. How they've jacked that up and why they're rooting them I have no idea. The CM6 2.2 rom for the Hero was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more stable, FASTER, and smaller than CS's 2.1. They apparently do know how to fail on an epic scale.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Not only that but the tech I spoke to, told me that Csouth doesn't have a Stock Flash File, which I find strange since it looks as though EVERY other US carrier does... He looked at me like I was speaking another language when I mentioned flashing it back to stock....

He said just do a factory Reset!

Oh, are you rooted?

Well, do a Factory Reset and that should Un Root it..

I turned around and walked out at that point....
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
Yeah, pretty much my impression of them... I've also inquired about the Odin Files through my sources, they also seem to either be playing retarded or really are retarded. probably a little of both. These are the types of things that make me wanna switch to a GSM carrier, and pop my sim in whatever phone I want to... CS is the LAST to get anything decent phone wise...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
by the way those interested in pulling the files, please read the 1st post... we need someone to do a factory reset prior to pulling files
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
and I just left att after 7 years for this phone.. I had some issues with them though, at the time it was like they were anti android. they still lock side loading apps
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
Yeah, they do lean toward the Apple sheep, but that's where the cash cow is... The mindless drones that'll pay $189247124 for the new iToaster. lol.. Had ATT before for about 6 years, terrible in every aspect to me. I have to remind myself that CS is only a regional carrier, and has a lot less support. But that also has me on the fence about jumping ship. Will NEVER do business with ATT again. I'll get 2 cans and some string before I go back to them.

anyway... didn't mean to highjack the thread.
[Samsung Mesmerize] jenisiz:
Im willing to try seeing what I can do set you showcase users up and running on verizon modems and roms. Just need someone with qpst and some patience. Pm me if interested.
[Samsung Mesmerize] imnuts:
I wouldn't flash the modem dump, and honestly, as long as you never flash anything that isn't meant for your phones labeled as a modem, you should never need to flash it. All the other files in the first post can be dumped properly though AFAIK. Also, I'm not sure what the efs.rfs file would be, never saw it before. The Fascinate's AIO packages don't include it if that's any help.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
thanks for the help.... prob saved me from another bad flash
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, if we had a stock odin that included the cell south modem I would prob get on board, but this is my only phone.... and if some body flashes their modem to another carrier, theres no coming back
[Samsung Mesmerize] imnuts:
You may also want to leave out the boot.bin and Sbl.bin as they may not be able to be dumped properly either. Given that it's the bootloader and its backup, this would be more likely to cause a brick than flashing the improper modem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
thanks will do
[Samsung Mesmerize] ehoba:
That is the best disclaimer if seen yet.

Just when you think you have it idiot proof, they come out with a better idiot.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
Alright,

So thanks to OSC111, I have all the files pulled from a Factory Reset phone... It appears that this flash is ONLY going to get people that still have the Factory modem.bin on their phone back to a factory phone...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Rich:):
will there ever be anything that makes baseband go back to DJ20? :(
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
no,

apparently there's no way to pull the full modem.bin or pull it correctly, so there's no way to go back if you flash to another firmware...

The REAL FActory Odin Flash would be required for this...
[Samsung Mesmerize] Rich:):
If that is true how do we have the mesmerize back to stock and verizon back to stock... There was never a leaked mesmerize flash... So there is a way to pull modem.bin correctly without a leak. The Mesmerize and Verizon back to stock flashes both give your phone a different baseband/modem
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
No, that's not completely true. The Mesmerize files were acquired through friendly means from the company. They are actually the same files that a USCC phone tech uses to flash a phone back to stock. I don't know how the Verizon files were acquired. Unfortunately, they just haven't surfaced for the Showcase. I know that they have to exist. It's just finding someone that is willing to let us borrow them.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
there's your answer Rich:)... and by the way look who posted the Mesmerize Odin...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
So I've updated the first Post...

I've got a test flash waiting... Just need someone willing to try it out...

It should be WAY safer!!! Please read the first post for details...

I took boot.bin and Sbl.bin out (These two files are the ones that can cause the perma brick)

Also i took out modem.bin b/c it wasn't the FULL modem!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] Rich:):
Good job! I hope someone will get the original modem one day so we can get a 100% full stock flash.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
as long you don't flash to a firmware other than showcase, this flash will get u back stock......
[Samsung Mesmerize] BubbaKush:
Yeah don't do what my dumbass did.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
got a new phone, so did they let u file it under warranty
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
I was able to load your Odin on my phone without the modem and all was well it booted fine and had working 3g and sms mms I think if you can flash everything for the mesmerize except the modem you could use our froyo Odin but needs to have modem removed I did this to mine as well with the fascinate software without the modem and that booted as well without issue
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
which ODIN are you saying you used of mine? i don't have a link up...

are you talking about one of those first ones you flashed? b/c I think i have a much better one now.. It should work!!! If you're still brave enough to try it ;)

I seriously don't blame you if you don't want to
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Yap ill give it a try lets have it give me a direct link does it have modem? Uscc belief plans have no question ask replacement program so to he'll with it lets roll
[Samsung Mesmerize] BakedTator:
you are a brave soul....godspeed mesmerbelly!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
How did it work out???
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
Sorry guys I had a crazy weekend I will get to it tonight promise
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
NNNNNNOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

lol.. you so crazy!
[Samsung Mesmerize] ocs111:
Are we at a stand still again?? I was really looking forward to some FROYO.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
waiting on mesmerbelly or someone to test it...
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
odin no good failed reodined back to uscc waiting for reboot to complete o just came back on didnt brick my phone
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
lol, phidelt82 just literally tested at the same time..

He said param failed.. So i don't know if it's b/c it doesn't have all the files needed, or b/c of being different firmware?
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
same for me
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
sorry good luck next time let me know when
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
so do you Know what that file is? b/c I see the one i have pulled is WAY bigger than the one in the Mes ODIN

If we can figure out what exactly this file is, we may can just use the one from the Mes ODIN...
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
if i had to guess id say hell if i know put it together and ill flash it
[Samsung Mesmerize] mesmerbelly:
how long before its ready with uscc param?
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
phidelt82 is going to hook u up
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
It took forever, but here you go. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DGS0LZ3M
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
This should only be tested by a Mesmerize User FOR NOW!!!!!!
[Samsung Mesmerize] k2283944:
bah mesmerize! we want showcase, we want showcase.... c'mon start the chant and join me!
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
well, this will be for the showcase, but we need someone that can Odin back to factory if this doesn't work....
[Samsung Mesmerize] k2283944:
Thought we still need the modem.bin to make our odin work right.
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
What about this? Haha.

http://galaxys2.samsungmobile.com/html/specification.html
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
this isn't going to have the modem.bin so if you flash to another phone's firmware, then this WON't work, but as long as you stay with Cell South ROMS then HOPEFULLY this is going to work..

There's no way to pull the TRUE modem.bin, I've been told.. We actually need the leaked flash from Cell South in order to get a TRUE Odin Stock Flash File...
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
wouldn't work to well on C South, and honestly I'm not sure if I'll buy anything from Samsung again, unless it's a Nexus phone...
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
I'm jumping the CS ship, and this is actually better than the Nexus S.. actually what the Nexus S should've been.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
lol, i'm just speaking about updates....
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
I figured that... yet another reason I'm gonna jump ship. Tired of being the last of the last to get anything.. Hardware selection sucks, updates are nearly non-existant. Great customer svc though... haha.
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
you may want to hold up, for just a little longer... Something great may be going to happen VERY soon ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] 02busa:
I'm not gonna do it just this second, but soon..
[Samsung Mesmerize] Rich:):
Most of the people who need this bricked their phones by messing up the modem.. So this won't be any good for lots of people :\
[Samsung Mesmerize] sageDieu:
have phidelt test it on his other mes when he gets done playing with eb16 lol
[Samsung Mesmerize] elijahblake:
he's busy trying to help me fix my phone ;)

When I broke my charger port I had sprint order me a new phone. When I went to pick it up I just asked the tech to swap cases so I could keep my orginal. Didn't wanna take the chances of getting a screwy hero. Don't know if this will work for you but a give it a try good luck.

This might Sound Stupid... But If you have Insurance and their Playing Dirty, Claiming there's Basically a Loophole they can use to Avoid Fixing you Phone, Just Break something else on you Phone That Is Covered by Insurance!

When they Fix that, Go to your Car and Come Back Telling them you just Plugged your Phone into your Car Charger and now that Wasn't Working!! They'll Think they Did it, and You'll Probably Walk Out a Little Richer and with a Smile! Lmao!!!

Good Luck!
[Hero CDMA General] JWhip804:
you can order a new shell for about $25. take it to sprint store and ask them to swap it for you and hopefully they dont check to see if you are with sprint lol.

if not, they are really easy to replace.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lash69:
Hi all.

I don't know if it's the correct section to ask this Q. But I'm currently having this issue only on my G1.

I need to separate Text Message tones from Notification tones, right now I've seen only Phone ringtone [That's OK] and Notification ringtone, which applies for Text msgs and all other notifications, i.e also when am only plugging the phone into charge.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks for helping
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aussiehairspray:
This can vary from ROM to ROM, but normally you can just go into messages, click menu, settings, notifications settings and select from there.

You can do the same with anything just change where you click the menu button

Hi

I have a phone locked to AT&T.

I want to unlock it.

I found UNLOCKING.COM. Their prices are very good but I searched in the google and some people say they are scammers and some say they are not.

Any one tried this site? Can I trust it?
[General Questions and Answers] kingcoyle:
No!!! Don't trust any of those, "unlocking" .com sites... They are almost always scams... I've tried one and it took 2 days to tell me that my phone couldn't be unlocked, and they would send me a refund that, of course never came...
