Seriously, will you slob a knob?
Yup the official one is up. Looks like a fun install... I'd heard today it would be up by tomorrow, guess they got it up a bit sooner!
Yay for having source code now

Especially since I released the "Official" upgrade on the 17th. I just put it in a more convenient package for everyone and let them have it early. Plus made it faster to download. Convenience isn't all it's cracked up to be, though...

Question about the official upgrade
Forgive the noob question, but does anyone know if the official release will unroot your phone using the techniques and software provided by USC? I'm technically savvy but this is still somewhat new to me. I've used Odin to root my phone and upgrade to the unofficial leak. I've had a number of software crashes since. I also found out, since I didn't do proper research before jumping onto the bandwagon, after the fact, that rooting will void the warranty. I'd like to unroot it, but I just need to know if this will do it or if I need to unroot it before I upgrade. Thanks!
And within seconds, I answer my own question
Apparently, it's been reported that the official update will, indeed, unroot your phone as well. Sorry for the wasted space.

If you install the official upgrade with the Odin files it will also "unroot" your phone. I say that because it's just putting a fresh system image on your phone so of course it will be "unrooted". The better option would be to install the pre-rooted version that has the 2e recovery as well so you can install custom ROMs and such.

Forgive the noob question... but... is this official EC10 upgrade identical to the EC10 rom that leaked earlier, or are there differences? Would I be good to go just to keep the leaked EC10 rom?

It's not that it's a bad produce per-se, it's that it hasn't been updated to work with the Infuse correctly. For THAT reason most devs dump on it. The other related reason is that it's not really a necessity item. It's more a convenience that for most, becomes more inconvenient. ;-)
Is there a thread that gives the steps to flash a ROM without ROM manager. I got it but not really sure I could again.

Just about all the ROM download threads have instructions for you.
Boot into recovery, wipe what you need to wipe, tell it to install a zip, done.
It's not hard to do at all.

I actually learned how to flash manually first before trying ROM Manager. I just liked it because of the convenience. No real big advantage to using it over the manual method just more convenient.
This recovery every one is speaking of, could it be the one created by Koush? Personally. Rom manager has been a great asset to me. It's like any other peice of code. It won't always behave the same way across a broad range of device's. I have no knowledge of cooking roms or writing code, but is it really necessary to make thread just to flame something? If you don't like it don't use it.
My 2¢.

Everyone uses Koush's Clockworkmod Recovery. The problem is that ROM Manager insists on using a crippled version of Clockworkmod ("green" CWM) that doesn't play nice with Voodoo Lagfix.
The problem is that instead of accessing whatever recovery the system comes with, ROM Manager insists on going to an "alternate" recovery (known as "green" CWM) which is crippled compared to the recovery included with almost all alternate kernels. Green CWM used to flash on any device with active Voodoo Lagfix = softbricked phone. It creates way too many support requests to developers, and also there's the issue I previously stated where downloading ROMs through ROM Manager causes people to go to ROM threads and not read the first post.
As to "if you don't like it, don't use it" - I don't, neither do any of the other devs. But other people do and we get all sorts of ridiculous support requests because of people who are too lazy to read threads on XDA, they want their ROMs spoonfed to them with ROM Manager.
Thanks for expanding my knowledge on the subject,

Apex rom
Hey everyone, question for you.
I'm running the Apex Rom and when I play my music, I can't forward or pause the music and when I try to forward or pause it, it FC.
Is anyone running this rom and don't have any problems playing music?
any feedbacks will be appreciated. Thx
I picked up a Mesmerize yesterday and was surprised to find it already running 2.3.4. I'm not sure if that's already a common thing on these, but coming from the Captivate world (still have it for personal use, the Mez is for work) it seemed very surprising.
Anyway, I definitely want to root this thing and get rid of the bloat; Is there a specific process for rooting these things with 2.3.4? I keep seeing stuff for Eclair and Froyo, but am unsure if GB uses the same Z4Root process or not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Good luck.. there is NO development going on for this phone.

There doesn't appear to be any way for users to root GB on our phones at the moment. The only solution that I've found presented so far is to flash a pre-rooted ROM.

The developers didn't want to get fisted.
To the best of my knowledge, you basically have to flash in a rooted image - the older root exploits used apparently were finally patched in 2.3.

I've counted about 10 or so Gingerbread ROMs available for the Mesmerize, 2 AOSP and the rest TW-based. Roughly half have had some sort of activity within the month.
Oh yea and CM7.1 just dropped this morning, so yes there is still dev for this phone............
Anyone actually looking check out rootzwiki.com its got a decent mez section. Also if u have a new eh09 outta the box it wont except anything below eh09. Weird modem issues.

ya i'll have to disagree too, there are lots of TW and non-TW based roms out there, personally I use MIUI...honestly unless u have to root specifically for an application and don't want to use a custom rom rooting the stock rom is useless, since the mes has an unlocked bootloader you can just flash clockwork whenever you want and load whatever rom suits you.

My vote would be either the international SGSII or one of its variants (I have i777 and things always seem to be booming over there).
Go get a Samsung phone, whichever is the latest one that AT&T has. They always have a TON of developers.
You know on the other hand you could just put in some time and learn and get some great ROMs in the process, lfaber06, cogery, and myself could really use the help, and it really is not all that hard, if you know anything about phones and flashing, and some about computers.

And just to proove I'm not being a total ****
You can switch to any Rom from a custom Rom as long as the firmware base is the same.
Always wipe all data and cache factory reset before flashing a new Rom unless specified in the Rom that there is no wipe needed.
Never restore data with titanium backup when changing Roma it can cause conflicts and crashes.

Invest time in finding out what rom offers you what you need. Honestly... in my own personal opinion, there is no rom besides glorious overdose that worth installing. Half of what the other roms offer cause glitches in the rom.. and are themed... something you can do yourself. I appreciate the work done on this phone and to the devs currently deving for this phone, kudos. Let's go byond the "impossible" and make this phone a bit more exciting. Cause deving isn't for fame.

At this time last year, I was anxiously awaiting GOV. There were others but I only trusted ayoteddy at the time. After some time, I tried others and always went back to GOV.
I do these roms because after using root uninstaller to customize it my way, I figured that I should learn how to do this myself.
My roms will never be like GOV....it is perfection. I just do this to occupy my time. I am a recovering alcoholic and this has been sort of like a hobby for me.
My list of fave roms include GOV, GenericGinger, ICS Domination, Clean Fusion (Although now it cannot play YouTube within the web browser) and TouchMIUIwiz.
