Android 2.3 Software Number EH17 From USCC... Its posted on their site
uscellular.com/androidupgrades
Not working for some reason.....
I have tried to update...but Kies mini is telling me I have the latest version lol
You can take it to a store tech center and have them reflash your phone with it if mini kies isn't working.
Mini kies has been a flaming hot mess more often than not with these updates, so a full reflash at the store is probably not a bad idea anyway.
Strange....Its been taken down!
The update for Samsung MESMERIZE Android 2.3 Software Number EH17 From USCC HAS BEEN REMOVED!

Hoping to see Odin installs soon.

Has anyone tried this? I get an error extracting on 4 different machines, tried downloading twice, just wondering if anyone's had better luck.
i am not sure whats going on guys but the Mez is dead on XDA,
all support, modding, and firmwares, both the new EH09 and old stuff is over at rootzwiki.
i dont like it, i much prefer XDA but there was already this morning a rooted stock EH09 plus the full stock EH09
both for odin.
already flashed the stock unrooted and and booting into the stock rooted now.
sorry guys but rootzwiki has got a huge jump on this.
not even our own dev section here has anything new about EH09, and hasnt had any firmware/rom updates in weeks...

Bottom line: Our developers and users have moved to Rootzwiki. Its still the same users and developers that were once here; same usernames and everything. Everyone's there. Just a new location (and new management).
Whats done is done; the mass exodus has occurred and it can't be changed. So lets quit talking about it. Get on the Rootzwiki boat or stay in ghost town. Your choice.

The official EH09 download isn't Kies. It's a prepackaged update similar to how the Acclaim was.
I guess i missed the jump from the boat..thanks for the updates

Just upgraded without kies.
No kies on my Samsung N150 Plus netbook, just installed USCC_I500_EH09_SimpleDL from the US Cellular android upgrade section. Followed instructions (except for battery life, performed this with 81%) phone rebooted, all apps intact including acircuitboard live wallpaper, root apps, contacts, calender, etc...., EXCEPT ROOT ACCESS! Super User gone baby, verified with root check app. guess I'll give GingerBreak a try this weekend, heck I may even try SuperOneClick again to see what happens. Here's a trick for you warranty voider freaker outers, if you brick it, just tell your provider you lost the phone and pay the $50 or whatever dollar insurance claim and get a new GXS.
Obviously no root access, it's a stock official rom.

Kies will have to be thru att...chat w/ support. I'm sure a fix is on the way.
You can get more info here:
Http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1475414
you won't brick this phone. as for the cappy you can thank Samsung and design gears for that. Samsung put out numerous builds of bootloaders that weren't compatible with each other. some didn't have working 3button combos. design gear figured out that he could flash the secondary bootloaders in an update.zip with bmlwrite to fix 3 buttons and started bakery mg it into roms. also the later captivates were not compatible with the early bootloaders and would brick with the oneclick Odin.
there haven't been too many legitamately hardbricked infuses. maybe some that the owners gave up on but no real hardbricks. out devs leaned the bootloaders lessons before and the infuse has fewer bootloaders and no packages that lack the compatible primary bootloader to the secondary bootloader except uckh1 which is froyo, so never flash from gingerbread to the kh1 build of froyo.
I'm going to set up an Infuse for my Mom tomorrow.
I don't want to install a custom ROM. I just want the OEM Gingerbread, which I'll root and debloat myself.
But I'm unfamiliar with the Infuse GB ROM's.
Which is the most recent available for Odin?
The UCKE3 GTG or the UCKD5 or something else?
Also, if the phone (used) has Froyo on it right now, is it okay to odin straight to Gingerbread or will I need to flash a kernel or radio first?
Btw, here are two of the ODIN's I'm thinking of:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112555
Both of those are Froyo ROMs. The latest Gingerbread ROM is UCLB3.

Hope You'll find what you are looking for in this thread:
Infuse 4G Super Everything Thread
Thanks, I did read the super thread. It never said was the newest ROM was though.
Thanks, PVD04 that was exactly the info I was looking for!
--------------------
Okay I found out that Samsung released Gingerbread. It's old news to you guys but when I had my own Infuse last year, it hadn't been released yet. I assumed it never would be either.
So this link shows how to update to Gingerbread via stock Samsung kies.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00045587&fm_seq=46249
It should probably be added to the super thread. I PM'd the OP about it.

Hello guys im really getting sick of the bloatware on Blaze and want to get rid of it and i also want to root my phone. But im literally terrified to do so cause i heard it could possibly brick and i seriously do not have the money to buy another phone and also this is my first time rooting. My blaze is currently running 4.0.4 ics with Baseband version T769UVMB1. It would be a great help if someone could shed some light on the possibilitiy of bricking or destroying my phone, also it would also be great if someone could give me a root guid that is compatible with my Blaze and its baseband version

Hello, I am new to this forum and just got my blaze 3 weeks ago. I know the phone is kind of old but I like it. Any way when I get a new phone the first thing I do is root it and get rid of the bloatware, but after 3 weeks searching and following 2 tuts from other sources I managed to softbrick my phone. All is good there and I managed to un-brick the phone both times. My question here, is there any tuts out there that can help me root my phone? I will post the specs below and hopefully someone can direct me to the right info.
Any help is greatly appreciated and If I missed sonething I apologise as I am in the U.S Army and usually very busy. Thanks guys!
T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g
Current firmware: 4.0.4 (ICS I believe)-OTA updated accidently
The phone came pre-loaded with 4.0.3...I don't know why
Current baseband: T769UVMB1

First, you should never look at "other sources". XDA is the best and you should have started here
Second, wrong thread. Questions belong in the General section.
Third, if you look there is a [GUIDE][ICS]How to root stock just a few posts down.
Lastly, this phone has never been on 4.0.3 lol. There was a recent baseband update to UVMB1 but it is still 4.0.4 just as UVLH5 was 4.0.4.
Hope that helps

It seems they want us using the guide for UVLH5 although I followed it precisely (twice) and was unsuccessful.
you can disable bloatware apps with ics
you'd be able to permanently remove them with root
From what I've read on here, the Blaze is pretty hard to brick and if you do, fairly easy to fix. There's a thread on here by beastmode that lays out the exact process in rooting our phone running ICS. I'd never done it before, either, but followed the guide, Googled the info I didn't know, and it went seamlessly.

I believe the Beastmode thread you mentioned is the one I linked, and followed twice, unsuccessfully
It lays out instructions for rooting our ICS Blaze on firmware UVLH5. I (and the op) have firmware UVMB1. They are both ICS 4.0.4, I wouldn't think the process would be any different, and I don't know why it didn't work for me, but it didn't.
In that thread, there are a couple people using that version of ICS that rooted just fine. Odd it didn't work for you. Did you place the zip on your internal or external sd card?

I tried a few more times today, and in combination with a separate root toolkit app, allowing "save root," I've gotten it settled.
I just acquired a Samsung Infuse so am entirely new to this phone, have rooted it so far via SuperOneClick, but am not having issues determining the best method of acquiring CWM so as to flash some new ROMS.
there are a number of threads i found through searching the forums but all of them seem to be quite old (2011). one of them i tried and it did not work, i got an e-signature failed error of some kind and couldn't find any solid information about how to get around that.
for someone who is brand new to this phone and disgruntled with the performance of 2.3.3, what would be the best method to utilize to get CWM to get a good ROM on this thing?
Thanks in advance

You guys are lifesavers. Is there a ROM any of you would recommend to load straight on the phone easily now that I have rooted GB 2.3.6 with the red CWM??
Looking forward to not having to deal with the brutal battery life and laggy response of 2.3.3! :laugh:
Yeah u can flash all the ROM over 2.3.6 thru CWM, But just keep in mind if u want JB then u have to flash ICS first the JB.
There are many many good GB roms with good battery life i will not name them just flash and see which suits u the most.

hey rkkaranrk, thanks for the help. i want to flash entropy's CM9 so that i can move up to BeanStalk, but the download mirrors are broken. Is there another ICS rom anyone can recommend? Most of the ICS roms i'm seeing are actually just themed GB roms...
thanks again.
EDIT: nevermind got the cm9 download working. will try that and then hopefully flash beanstalk.

well i figured id update here as everyone's been such a big help and i really went through a heck of a process trying to get things back to a working state.
from CM9 i attempted to flash SlimBean and then got stuck in a boot loop. from there, i made the terrible mistake of panicking and trying to flash back to CM9, which seemed like it worked until i got stuck in a boot loop again. i panicked further and tried to flash all the way back to stock GB 2.3.6 which just messed everything up and i bricked it. could not get into download mode, nothing. i realize how stupid all of my mistakes were but thats what learning is about LOL.
finally today i uninstalled all versions of KIES, reinstalled latest version of java, used a different (non-front panel) usb port, with a brand new usb cable (one of my quality ones from a branded charger vs. the cheap one i was using previously). finally got ODIN to recognize my phone and flashed tue UCLB3 Unbrick w/ Root and it worked like a charm.
so i'm going to start again and try to work my way more carefully up to the top haha. thanks again for all the help guys, really appreciate the great infuse community here :good:
