i have samsung mesmerize and want to use it on boost does anyone know the unlock procedure or my next question is i have located the rooted samsung prevail files for odin is there a way i can flash these files to the mesmerize
For sure you'd need the modem.bin file. Open the odin file as a .tar and see if it is in there. I too am interested in this.
If you find info for how to do it with a fascinate, that'd work on your mes too

Ok I have the files there is an. Ops file a pda.tar file a boot.tar file and a phone.tar file its using Odin multi downloader v 4.42 I noticed on the Odin used for mesmerize and fascinate their is a pit input where the ops is at on the newer version so my next question is do I use the pit version of Odin or the ops version and in what order do I want to flash the files as for boost being cdma it is and some of their phones use the aim method as well not sure as to why though. I have two of these mesmerizes so I would like to unlock them both but don't want to brick them any help would be greatly appreciated and I will keep everyone posted to the results of this

Who will b the brave one to try this?

I will like I said I have two of them and the recovery files for mesmerize so if it fails recover and try again I have been scouring the internet trying to see if a ops file can be converted to a pit file or vice versa

I have been able to flash back the mesmerize several times but when I try to flash the pda file from the prevail odin3 stops and then my phone has the phone triangle computer logo and I have to reflash I think if someone who knew more about the files could compose a pit file from the ops file compatible with odin3 this would work like I said ill be the test dummy lol worse can happen is inturn it into a paperweight but even that's hard to if u have adb

I think if we could figure this out it would open a new door in cdma android development as far as unlocking goes

These type of things are usually wild goose chases that are never successful. Frankly, I'd just get a Boost Mobile phone.
Any Progress?
I have been searching for the same exact thing... and stumbled on this thread after posting quite a few times myself.
If anyone has been able to get it to work I would love to know.
Thanks,
Chris
Does anyone have the apk file for touchwiz 4
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
4 or 4.5? just pull it from icbinb rom.zip. system/app folder.
Either I just want to update touchwiz 3. Would you be able to post a download link for it because I'm still fairly new to this and don't really know how to pull it from the zip
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Open it on your computer and drag and drop

I tried to pull it for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it to my phone. What should I do
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Make sure you are connected to the computer properly and that the phone is in mass storage mode. Then drag and drop to your sd card. From there, use root explorer to move the apk to your system/app folder. Reboot and it should work

That's what I did and for some reason my computer wouldn't let me transfer it over. I've transferred so many other files that way with no problem I just don't understand why it wont let me transfer this file

Just a bit of friendly handy helpful information. There is no need to keep opening new threads for your questions. Use the thread you already have (only one) when you ask a new question it will get bumped to the top for everyone to see.

Download to your computer first, thrn copy it to your internal sd card.
It's just of those things.
I'm planning my escape from the digital world!
The stock phone browser normally fails at downloading zip files - unless there is an app on the phone that associates itself with them. For instance, zArchiver is an app that can handle zip files. Since I have it on my phone, I am able to download zip files with the stock browser. Another option to download on the phone is to use a third party browser like Dolphin.
