Hey guys , was tying to restore factory kernal in Odin and accidentally did it under "phone" instead of "PDA"
I now have NO service at all . I have been having a massive meltdown for the past 3 hours until now . I have finally gotten my phone restored and good to go , except for having no service. Is this something any of youh guys know how to fix?
Sorry, no. Your phone is a goner.

Flashing the "phone" portion in Odin is one thing we cannot recover from. At least u have a nice PDA.

I wish I was joking. I am sorry, but unless you can convince someone to leak a modem.bin for our phone, its a lost cause.
I have no doubt that one day we can fix this but right now we don't have the required resources.

Man ...if there is anyone i trust , its you . I cant believe one button has made my phone useless... So nothing that can be found in a system dump or anything? I mean im looking at $400 for a new one . So if there is ANYONE with this thing there would be like $200 in it for them . Really .
We haven't been able to dump the radio. The modem.bin exists but no tester is leaking it, likely for fear of their job. That said you have nothing to lose right now so if we can find a CURRENT radio for the Mesmerize it would be worth trying. Both US cellular and cellular south are currently selling it. Ask around and see if you can find something. I will check some websites when I get home but don't expect results.

Also keep in mind Froyo will most likely release with a new radio. If its a full radio file then it will probably fix your phone.

Man i wouldnt even know where to begin asking for such a thing. if you point me in a direction i will go .
well... i found something ...and i got nothing to loose ,like you said . So time to start flashing...
No, not a gsm modem! Don't do it.
haha thanks man , i was in a depressed rage there for a second and decided not to flash at the last second. Out of curiosity , are there EVER any modem.bins that leak out , or is this the type of situation where if i happen to get one it would be the first time ever? I mean if i wait is this thing one day going to appear , or is it pretty much just not going to happen .... give it to me straight .. i can take it ...
Unless someone gets brave, its not gonna happen. Unfortunately our GSM brethren have more balls and hence, leaks.

jesus.... well the bounty still stands haha . If you guys find a cdma that MIGHT work let me know . Guess im going to hop on craigslist and buy another. So i suppose if you guys ever need a testing device , im available! haha
Why can't you call samsung and send it back to have it reflashed?
I don't see a reason why they can't do this for you... i could be wrong and this is just an idea.
Ps this is why you get insurance silly!
Good luck with everything =)

I was wondering if anyone had the speaker for the epic. Mine blew and now it sounds like crap listening to music. I talked to Samsung and they said they'd fix it and it'd take about a week. But as of now my warranty is void,rooted and custom rom, I have a pretty good idea on how to replace it. But now I need the speaker. I tried a few places to no avail. So now I am on a quest to find one. Any help would be awesome!

Odin back to stock, and there will be no trace of a custom anything. Then take it in to a Sprint store, they'll order a new phone and have it for you in 2-3 days.
Thanks, I'll stop by sprint tomorrow and see. If all else fails I crack this baby open and fix it my self. After looking at an exploded view it looks pretty simple to get too.

Odin first! And even if Sprint *****es, go through Samsung. You have a warranty, the part failed because of a manufacturing defect, you're entitled to a free repair. Never give up!
OK. I'll try to go the warranty route. Imma tinker, I don't know the software part of androids and cell phones, but the hardware I can figure out! So I try to mess with them some times.

It's not out yet, but we're looking into it.
Sprint repair centers have the part. They switched mine in about 30 minutes. I didn't even have to give my passcode - just played some music from pandora and made a speaker phone call to show it was busted.

If you have insurance, it's a free repair. If you don't have insurance, it's $35 and probably shipped to the store, you keep your old device until it comes in (1-2 days) and then swap it out when it arrives UPS.

Do not take your phone into Sprint if it is rooted you might get a rep that knows what to look for also remove your memory card because off they will look for nand backups also.

I need to know a convincing argument to get him to not be pissed. I actually got my phone from him and it was under warranty, I was just sick of not being able to do everything I want to.

hahaha nice...
just tell him you can always unroot if needed
If or when it screws up, flash the official HTC RUU and then it's back to normal. They don't know if it's rooted or not, if they want to see it flash the RUU.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
If he is worried about the warranty, you can always go back to the Spring software by running the RUU from the Sprint/HTC website and the phone will return to the Out-of-Box state... so no worries there.
On the other hand, install a custom ROM (aospCMod) and show him the difference on what all you can do with the phone... as compared to the Sprint software.

Your question has already been answered, just run the RUU to get it back to factory state and magically the warranty's back in effect. What exactly is he pissed about? It's kind of hard to help you devise some type of argument if we don't really know what he's saying since you can undo what's been done. Hmmm...maybe try telling him to stop being such a girl about things and grow a set(no offence to any hermaphrodites who've rooted their phones). If he/she doesn't, refer to my previous drunk post

Tell your Dad that when you master new technology, you are improving your skills and knowledge so that you will be able to secure a well paying job. Tell him that when you do secure that job, YOU will buy HIM a nice new phone!
Try this, used to shut my dad up and leave him pissed with this one:
"When you can explain what I've done wrong and why its wrong, you're a good parent. If you can't explain what I've done wrong you're probably just feeling threatened by my intelligence and natural talents."

run the ruu, show him it is all back to normal, then flash whatever you want, but this time don't tell him about it.

hey. Not tryin to add fuel to the fire here seeing as we are all here to enhance this great phone. I noticed that Bierce called it impossible, that was said about a lot of things. I'm not doubting you in any way I'm just the type of person who will always give it a try. I'm only 15 and not exactly to good at deving or anything yet, buti am learning. I know that dastin is the expert porter here but his life is hectic right now. I can't promise anything at all, butif someone could point me in the direction of where to learn how to port, I could give it a go. Who knows, maybe I can get it started on the way and one of the more experienced devs can hammer it out. Worth a shot, eh. Sorry for my poor English, I'm still getting used to my to keyboard.
the thing is its not that there impossible it just seems like all he does is scavenge other forums looking for wierd stuff to port like the other day when he was asking someone to do the miui port from the mt3g and he didnt even bother reading the thread because 2 posts down they were complaining that it was just a themed rom and not miui.
