Help Official 2.3 Gingerbread update available (EH09)

Nothing but problems for me after this update. I did it at home with Kies, btw.

You couldn't have run it with Kies. The update software is a self-contained executable. Not Mini Kies.

Sorry, you are correct. I was thinking of when I did the Froyo.

So is the latest firmware version 2.3.4? I see that someone posted a while back on here that he had 2.3.5?

Also I see US Cellular has taking the Mesmerize off their phone list, so I'm sure our update days are over.

If you take your mez to the us cell store they will update your phone to 2.3.5

Does anybody know what the fixes are on 2.3.5 over 2.3.4? My headset volume is very low & I can barely hear the other person on a call since I went to 2.3.4 and was wondering if 2.3.5 would fix it?

Also, I guess upgrading from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 will probably wipe the phone, correct?

I don't recall it having any effect on the call volume when i got it and the update is for the newer mez's that have hardware made from. different manufacturer. vague I know, but that's as much as I actually remember. 4.0.3 has call volume that is almost too loud but that requires taking some risks

Thanks for the quick reply shemslocum.

I was hoping it would fix the few bugs I got with 2.3.4 but I see some people saying if you got hardware version I500.04 (which I do), not to upgrade?

I really want to try and root my device but it seems like Chinese to me when I try to read over everything...and I consider myself tech savvy for the most part! Maybe one day I'll give it a try, if I can figure it out. I just don't want to brick my phone or lose all my stuff.

seconds) .
10) in the upper left side of the screen in Odin
there should appear a yellow block that says
[com2 ] (or com 4 or 5 etc. this means that
Odin sees your phone.
11) now that everything is ready its time to hit
the start button. Odin will show you the
progress as you go. after a minute Odin will say
RESET, just leave your phone alone until Odin
says PASS.
12) OK Odin "passed", now put your SD card
and battery back in your phone and do 3button
boot into recovery. (hold volume up and down
and power all simultaneously until the
SAMSUNG splash screen appears then release.

This shouldn't be posted in the regular support forums. There is an entire forum for rooting the phone over here:
