Help Samsung Galaxy Mesmerize (sch-i500) update issue please help

[blue_angel]

So, this Samsung Galaxy S Mesmetize sch-i500 that I have started to update today around 2pm..... crazy thing is that it still seems to be attempting to finish or is stuck Im not real sure which.

All I know is the crazy thing is apparently an US Cellular phone, I dial the MEID number in the app I have on my phone I use constantly and it gives me information including a master spk code for Metro pcs. .....and when I first bought the phone from a 3rd party I could swear I found something somewhere in the phone about Fascinate or whatever it is. (YeaIm learning about buying items offline.)
This is whats bothering me. For one, I have no clue as to why it still hasn't finished updating after alllllllll this time and uhm....can I stop it and either reinstall or attempt to reinstall the update for it?

Its not working on any network as it hasnt been reactivated yet it seems it was on the Verizon previously.

How so I attempt to fix this and verizon isnt in my coverage area (My phones on Net10 and uses AT&T towers) is there a way that I can use it where I live? Or is that a probable not??

Im lost and would appreciate any help.
Thank you.

I hate to say it but I think you are going to be sol trying to activate this on any other network than what it was intended for.

Fascinate was the samsung version for Verizon, Mesmerize is the version for U.S. Cellular.
Some of the aftermarket ROM's and apps work on either phone, but the phones themselves can't be configured(transferred,activated) to operate on the other network accounts.

You are definitely SOL for that phone if you are using AT&T towers. AT&T is a GSM based network. VZ and USCC are CDMA networks. No way to make the Mez work on an AT&T based network, no matter what software you manage to flash on it.
