Okay so i got my phone (US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize SCH-I500) from ebay and it came with gb 2.3.4 originally and i updated to 2.3.5 then later on to 2.3.6. After doing some homework i want to get back to froyo 2.2.2 but i cant!! I tried to flash back to EE19 via odin and it bricked my phone. Then tried flashing back to EC10 and it worked but what happens is it has no signal whatsoever (baseband is uknown/no phone number) pretty much everything is unknown except the build number/firmware version :crying: I just don't get what i'm doing wrong here guys. Every time i try to make the *228 phone call to activate it, it says phone is in airplane mode go to settings to turn it off to enable connections but it's not in airplane mode!!! I factory reset it took out the battery but nothing works!! Although i was able to flash back to 2.3.4 via odin and root it. But still i want to go back to froyo :/ Please someone help me get back to a working froyo :crying: I would so appreciate this if anyone can look into this for me for i am fairly new to android but i'm getting the hang of it If you figure this issue out get a hold of me anyway you can thanks everyone!!!

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.

Last week i had same problem, i almost got crazy, but after all, the problem was in my provider.
Have you tried another sim card?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
That is odd...
I am also with Rogers and I got my phone bricked when I first tried to root it because some guy posted a wack file which bricked almost everyone's phone..
Anyways to the point... I also got the same stock image from the link you posted but for the 2.3.4 update I got it from searching on google somewhere. (Think it was one of those "How to manually update Nexus S to 2.3.4" pages).
I just checked my phone info and it displays all the same info as yours... I am pretty sure I had 3G even before pushing the 2.3.4.... Try locking the boot loader and re unlock and give it another shot. If nothing works, just lock the boot loader after you install the 2.3.4 update and take it back to rogers and ask them to send it in for a fix.
hi guys... thanks for trying to help me...

Hello everybody,
I rooted and upgraded my T-mobile(US) SGs4G from Froyo to ICS, currently:
model sgh-t959v
firmware 2.3.6
baseband ver t959vuvkj6
kernel ver 2.6.35.7-t959vuvkj6-cl694130
build # gingerbread.vuvkj6
since this upgrade i have 2 bugs:
1. usb(mass storage mode) is not working in my car (read error), worked before OK. it's still working when i connect phone to computer. We got another SGs4g in the family (not rooted, just upgraded to GB), it's stop working in USB mass storage in the car too. Any ideas? could i replace usb driver in ICS or do i need to go back to Froyo?
2. I worked in the building with poor reception of GSM signal, so if phone could not connect to the cell, then even if i go outside later it's still "searching" and could not find signal, so i need to turn phone off/on in order to get signal.
Could it be fixed? again it was OK with Froyo: 5-10 sec and reception re-established.
Thanks in advance.
You don't have ICS. You have Gingerbread. Try a factory reset for your problems.
I did
Thanks, my bad, sure it's not ICS, its GB. And i did HW reset in the begining, do you think it's the number of resets that counts? BTW i did not back up my Froyo, do you know where i can get one?
When did you do the factory reset in relation to your problems? How did you upgrade?
Depending on your answers my recommendation is follow the guide in the second link of my signature. GB is worth having.
I can find you a link for Froyo but it is not as simple to downgrade to Froyo as you might think. You will need to make sure to flash Froyo bootloaders also.
first i did root still with froyo
then updated to GB with keos
did reset, and re-installed all applications.
I did figure out how to "trick" lost connection due to no signal:
turn on flight mode and turn in off. so definitely it's a bug.
still no luck with USB
I know that downgrade to froyo is not easy, and i like GB, this is why i'm asking if there is a way to patch usb driver only
regards
I have a galaxy s2 that I tried rooting, it sorta worked then it did not. So I followed the instruction to put it back to stock with gingerbread .uckh7,
kernal version 2.6.35.7
The phone seems to work fine. The issue is I cannot put it back to ics which is where it was, I tried reloading Kies, I tried just using the update. Nothing. And the phone now seems to once in awhile go into airplane mode by itself, or to restart itsself.
I would love to root my phone, and have it work well. I know enough about computers to be dangerous I am sure. But baring that I would just like to be able to have it back to where it was.
Thanks for the help.
I upgraded 2.3.5 but HATED it, so I decided to flash back 2.2.1. The problem now is that I get no service at all. I tried dialing *228, but it said I needed to turn off airplane mode to make a call (airplane mode was not on). Can anyone help me get my service back? If any extra info is needed, please let me know.
Samsung Mesmerize US Cellular 2.2.1 Froyo
Well, I've been searching around and it seems as if I need the radio file for EE19. So far, every download link I've found is 404. Does anyone have that file?
EDIT: I had bricked my phone, but I figured out how to un-brick it. Still need that radio file and the method for installing it if anyone has it.
Nevermind, I got it working. I don't know for sure what did it, as I did pretty much the same thing over and over every time I bricked it, but one time I just happened to get service.
Here's what I did to get service:
1. Bricked my phone accidentally
2. Flashed DI14 using ODIN v1.83 (Make sure you select it from the PDA button)
3. Restarted phone, made sure it worked.
4. Turned off phone and flashed EE19 using ODIN (again, make sure you select it from the PDA button)
5. Turned phone on, and it had network access for no reason.
I had done this exact same thing a few times before, but I didn't have network access until the last time. I don't know why it worked, I just know it did. If anyone else is having the same problem, I hope this works for you, but no promises.
Also, if you do end up bricking your phone, the best way to get it to work again is to use ODIN to flash DI14, turn on the phone, then remove battery and flash EE19. Then you can upgrade from there.
