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

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

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,

Title says it all. I am wondering if us Mesmerize users can safely use the new CWM that GizmoDroid posted in the following link.

ETA: If no one has tried yet, is it possible that this could break anything that couldn't be fixed via ODIN? If not, I will volunteer to be the guinea pig.
I havent personally tried anything but I dont see why not

Ok so i tried rooting my gf's fascinate with voodoo v2.5.1.x and Ea28 i put dl01 on it and now i get to the samsung screen and i can hear the boot music but nothing after that. When i go into recovery i try redoing the update and nothing please please please help me
I'm a little confused here. The phone was currently on stock EA28 when you rooted it? Then you flashed a DI01 ROM? Please explain a little better.

Does your phone have any sign of life at all?

very odd

Do you have the drivers? Try another USB cord and port.

THANK YOU ALL FOR your amazing will to help!!! Can't thank you enough!
By the way, on the phone display, it's stuck exactly between the "D" and the "o" of the word "downloading" (if you know what I am mean here, not sure I am explaining myself right)
i will try a different USB and PORT
(wow my anxiety is through the roof)
I used it for the first time the other day and it went great, I actually used it 3 times in the same day...long story. I've heard about the port thing but it never did anything different for me. If you installed Odin correctly and It has the stock file for your phone than it should work.

You have to extract the stock file (probably called something else) when you open Odin I believe you have to click pit than select th file that you extracted.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
When you open the Odin folder you should see 2 things, the Odin program in which youd launch and the stock file for your phone, the stock file needs to be extracted or unzipped (not sure which is the correct term) run Odin, plug phone in, select file from pit tab, stick start.

IT WORKED (didn't change anything, just didn't touch the phone this time - how could this be related though? bad USB cord? just lucky?)

More info please. What did you do?
What makes you believe that the update is for GB v2.3? Is this an OTA update from Verizon?
Sorry my question wasn't worded good. So here it goes LOL, I downloaded one of the leaks of Gb for the TB and I placed the file on my SD card and renamed it and shut the phone off held power and volume. Then I went through the steps and it started updating itself the when it finished it said error failure to update software to new. Once again thank you for responding to this I really appreciate all and any help.

Rooted or unrooted currently? I assume unrooted?

If you downloaded the RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.10.605.1_Radio_0.01.78.0802w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_209273_signed.exe
Do not place on the SD card, is a Windows application to update your TB via Data cable.
Takes about 10-15 mins.
This is exactly as I did and worked without any problems.
On a further note...
A couple of days ago I rooted using the Revolutionary tool and flashed Clockwork recovery using ROM Manager then created a backup. Now I no longer have problems with constant ads, no verizon bloatware, and a full backup img of my rooted Gingerbread TB.
Unrooted can't don't know much about rooting with the method used. Actually I'm kinda scared, now I did root my Eris and my Incredible and LG Ally. But don't glum have to know adb.

There should be an unrooted zip file that you could flash via hboot floating around here some where or might look on Rootzwiki site as well.
I would also check the md5 of the files to make sure they match the numbers posted by the OP before I attempted to flash it

Ok here it is in a nutshell. Somehow my nephew has flashed a vibrant kernal onto a 4G and now it is all freaked out. And suggestions on how to flash it back to a 4g? I have never seen this happen before so Ia m unsure what to do here. Basically when you power it up it has a boot screen that say SAmsung Vibrant and then reboots. I can get it into Download mode but I am unsure how to proceed from there. Thanks in advance for any help.

Look for the gremlin remover in the dev thread and download that. Once its downloaded open up the program put your phone into download mode and run it
