Announcement
BR sent me a link to the announcement stating that Mesmerize was getting Gingerbread and since documenting the Updating to Froyo was helpful to some, I'll do the same again for this update.
One thing that I did not keep on was the builds and I've just realized that I'm running EC10 and EE19 has been out, which may have fixed some of my bug issues. I need to keep up on that going forward.
Release
Update: It's out. Starting in a few minutes on the update. --Rabbi Bob 18:25, 30 August 2011 (EDT)
Awesome, Thank you! RT @rabbibob: @TeamUSCellular Downloading update right now and will be giving it a go tonight. Will document as well (did with Froyo too).
Updating the Samsung Mesmerize
These are my notes and steps. Your mileage may vary.
References
Steps
- Start downloading the update (USCC_I500_EH09_SimpleDL.exe) now. It's 417 MB (See Update Directions Link above)
- AppBrain
- The Update directions has this line at the bottom: Free applications will have to be searched for again and downloaded manually. To avoid this, I use AppBrain for the ease of reloading Apps
- Link AppBrain to your Gmail account
- Sync with AppBrain
- Log into the website with the account and verify you see all of your apps
- My Appbrain App List
- Exported Contacts
- From the Home screen, touch Contacts > Menu.
- Touch Import/Export > Export to SD card.
- Confirm export by selecting OK.
- US Cellular Backup (for contacts)
- Run Backup
- Any other backup processes - do them now.
- Removed the SD card
- On your phone->Settings->USB Settings-> Samsung Kies
- Install USCC_I500_EH09_SimpleDL.exe
- Takes a while to unpack. Get some ice cream or something. Maybe find the USB cable that came with your phone, especially if it's out in your car.
- Next->Install->{Wait some more}->Finish
- Double click the Samsung Simple Upgrade Tool for SCH-I500 EH09 on your desktop
- Next {I mean, you have a Mesmerize right?}->Accept->Next->Next {Backed up everything, right?}
- Attach the USB cable
- Deal with any driver prompts that might appear. I let Windows Update deal with the drivers.
- SAMSUNG Android USB Composite Device 0
- CDC Abstract Control Module (ACM)
- USB Mass Storage Device (failed)
- S3C6410 Android ADB
- Deal with any driver prompts that might appear. I let Windows Update deal with the drivers.
- I had small problem at this point, where a dialog box popped up asking if I was in Emergency Mode. Clicked no and then Back
- Unplugged/replugged USB cable
- Received unable to open COM Port error. Rebooting computer. Restarting Phone
- After rebooting, I still could not open the port. I did the following:
- unplugged the phone
- Phone->Settings->USB Settings-> Mass Storage
- Plugged in usb cable and verified the phone was seen by the USB controller, then unplugged
- Phone->Settings->USB Settings-> Samsung Kies
- Repeated the software update steps above
