I have a NTELOS SHOWCASE \ Galaxy S Sch-i500 that is not in a happy place right now. Encountered a bad flash and did not backup phone before I did it. The only way to get the phone unbricked was to use a US Cellular Mesmerize flash to get it back up and going. Unfortunately I cannot get any data access on the NTELOS network with it for some reason. I can make and receive calls and text messages but no data!
Is there ANYBODY out there that has a full flash for the ntelos showcase? Any kind of flash? odin, cm recovery backup? whatever!
If there is anybody who can help be bring my phone back to stock ntelos again or atleast help me get my data connectivity back using my current US Cellular firmware that would be most appreciated.
Hi, I was wondering if you ever got any resolution on this. I actually flashed mine to a point of having nothing, but finally figured out how to get my phone to work again - however I'm still having trouble with the data. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Unfortunately no. I did find an odin backup for the phone and I loaded it on and the phone is "working" again but its not on any network for some reason. Cant do *228 because it finds nothing and says failed. So its just dead in the water I guess.

so like a kid in a candy store i got ahold of ROM manager and ODIN and started flashing cool looking roms..next thing i know, the t-mobile logo is popping up and i am a not-so-proud owner of a modded T-Mobile Captivate, no longer an ATT Galaxy S!
of course the t-mobile network uses different frequencies and the like, so the phone part of my phone stopped working...bummer! i grumbled as i flashed back to a ROM that worked with the ATT network (FUSION it is called) but apparently that ROM does not mess with the internal network settings thats why it worked so well initially it didnt change the stock cell internals...
so now i have a hybrid phone, half-tomobile half-att half Fusion, and it only picks us signals from the Edge network!!! i barely get any reception so it pretty useless...
so i need some help...i can i get this beast back into a condition where is will work as an ATT galaxy?? also, for whatever reason i cannot mount or download market apps to the phone tho it does pickup wifi connections...
any help/ideas appreciated...advTHANKSance!

Flash back to stock with odin 1 click. Or try just flashing a new modem with cwm.

note..i used the old I897UCJH2 Firmware but the plan is to upgrade to JH6 tonight...

Hey guys,
Recently my phone kinda messed up on me because I was trying to get 2.2 on the captivate and I didnt realize it was from at&t so i tried getting 2.1 back but it's still with at&t. So now when i turn on my phone, everything works fine it's just that I don't get a 3g network anywhere, even though I get signal. I tried doing a factory reset but obviously that wouldnt change anything. So now I'm stuck, can anyone help me out here? maybe get me back with the official rogers firmware instead of the at&t's?
ps. I realize NOW that they officially released 2.2 froyo via samsung kies, and when I tried connecting my phone samsung kies doesn't recognize it anymore.
Please help and thanks.
Ok, major screw up on my part. Accidentally odined the ATT Captivate stock files to my Showcase. Needless to say, i had a brick for a while. I have managed to get the phone back into download mode and loaded the Mesmerize software. The phone can at least make calls now, but no data yet. Does ANYONE have ANY odin files for CS? Or any advice would be good too.
Check your PM.
Ok, got stock CS software running on the phone again, but I still have no 3g or 2g data connection. Any thoughts?
Nevermind. Just forgot to do *228. Long day today.
Any chance I could get a copy of Odin for Showcase? I have to go back to stock for warranty purposes? Thanks!
I know this is an old post, but I cant seem to find the Ntelos odin files for the showcase. anyone got them?
I have the same problem. I have an NTELOS Showcase and I accidently flashed Cellular South Odin on it. Phone can still make calls but its crippled. No 3G and its just crap! Not sure what to do. I just want it back to Stock NTELOS again

Having the same issue. I accidentally flashed US Cellular stock files on mine and now I have no 3G. There's no development support for Ntelos and no one seems to either know what to do or care to help.
This is for the generic showcase http://rootzwiki.com/topic/19968-odingeneric-showcase-ntelos-fa10ei20eh09/
CSPIRE Showcase
I am having trouble getting my sch-i500 back up and running. I had updated to ics aokp_fascinatemtd_build 28, but ran into the problem of it showing that i was on verizon towers. I downloaded and tried to odin a cspire modem but no help. also tried *228 before and after the modem file. I can get cwm4 fixed for cm7 to come up and also the download for odin screen, but none of the files i have downloaded will work. it gets to factoryfs and hangs up. I have downloaded almost all files from rootzwiki labeled for use with cspire. any help will be appreciated.
ok so i got my phone up and running, aokp ics. but it was showing verizon as my carrier. I downloaded the cspire ei20 modem file from rootzwiki, used odin with atlas2.2.2.pit, put the modem file under phone section as instructions on rootzwiki said, checked repartition and clear phone efs, now the phone will not turn on. I can still get to download and intend to redo the aokp when i get home this evening. but how do i get the modem for cspire to work?
So I put the wrong firmware on my phone on accident... Put the cricket firmware on my USCellular device and well its bricked.. It works, but I have no cell service, nothing. All I have is the phone that works, but no cell service at all..
So any thoughts?
Just a shameless bump for any help on this or if anyone knows how to fix it, I would greatly appreciate it.
cant you just put the correct firmware on considering the phone powers on and works? Its not really bricked considering it turns on and loads up and everything.
That's the whole thing, I don't have the firmware to place on the phone to update it. That's why its bricked right now.
So I just took it to the store, and they flashed it back to the 2.3.5 uscellular firmware and everything is fine now. Now to find an actual method of rooting this phone so that it still works

So they were able to flash the phone back to the original firmware??
I have a similar situation with my S2...it thinks its an at&t phone lol
the US Cellular Ascend 2 can be rooted with SDK and Super One Click. just download both programs, open SDK and let it it run in the background, open Super One Click, plug your phone in and hit root... it's that easy.
i just put Playful God's cm7 port on mine this past weekend. had to download GoSMS Pro to be able to receive MMS messages, and the play store thinks my phone is a Cricket phone. but, data, voice, and text work perfectly.
it's kinda strange though, you have to do a complete wipe before installing cm7 so you loose everything. well, i backed up my contacts usin the my contacts backup app from US Cellular, when i tried to download the app from the market using my phone, it said that it wasn't available for my carrier (remember, the market thinks mine is a cricket A2) but when i sent it to my phone via website from my home PC, it downloaded and worked great...
OK
I was having trouble with ICS ROMs and decided to go back to GB.
I chose Silver's GB rom and was mostly happy with it but could not get LTE even in places I know have plenty of signal so I decided to go "bone stock Rogers"
So I Odined back to "stock" using I727RUXKJ7_I727RRWCKJ7_RWC from SamFirmware, and even reset the flash counter.
Mostly looks OK but I still don't seem to get into LTE mode even when I'm in the city (it used to just switch up as I progressed down the highway, then drop back as I left the city (Ottawa))
I tried reflashing just the Rogers modem Radio_RIL_I727RUXKJ7.zip, but no difference...
Today I thought I would see if Kies recognized my phone as being "stock", so I let it do it's upgrade and connected my phone... it saw the phone but reports it as "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."
The firmware it sees says "Current firmware version: PDA:KJ7 / Phone:KJ7 / CSC:KJ7 (ATT)"
I suspect that the "(ATT)" is where the problem is (maybe for my LTE issue too??)
Anyone know how I get the CSC to stop reporting itself as ATT?
Thanks,
Jamie

Cany ANYONE tell me where I can find the Rogers CSC? I can't seem to find a way to extract it from the md5 file. ('cause I have no idea of the file format)
Is there a way to find and edit the file right on my phone instead?
not the right file, the rogers one is "I727RUXKJ7_I727RRWCKJ7_I727RUXKJ7_HOME.tar.md5" , everything u need to know is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
Thanks again,
That worked perfectly... back to stock, re-rooted, and restored... Kies once again recognizes me, and I'll find out Friday, when I get into the city if the LTE is back to working again. (and IF Rogers ever drops ICS I'll be able to install it)
