I can't call or text on my SCH-i500 Samsung Showcase with the CM7 build (the only one for showcase)
I can barely get my GPS to work.
I am never on 3g.  I am always roaming.  I have to switch between automatic, home only, and affiliated networks just to get a signal.  But I can't call or text with a signal, so I guess it's pointless.  And even though I am connected to wi-fi, sometimes my apps won't have a connection.  And I can't download anything from the market.  I've tried so many fixes.

Did you get your phone back to stock?

I  tried. RomManager didn't like CWM4 so I never backed the stock ROM up.  I can't call *228 or anything to get anything.  Any tips?

To Fix this, I found the EE25_fullOdin.tar.md5 and atlas_v2.2.2.pit (sorry I lost the URL).
I used odin to flash it. MAKE SURE YOU CHOOSE THE "PHONE EFS CLEAR" OPTION!

If you cant find the files, msg me here, I will try and find a place to upload them.

I am also thinking about getting a group of cell phone geeks together in the jackson area to eat, drink and talk ****. let me know if you are interested.

eh running linux. heimdall doesn't support efs clear.  i wonder why i'm the only one with showcase having these problems. i follow cyanogen to the tee

[phocus]

Your not,  this is a known issue.

I ad the exact same problem, I had to use odin with the efs clear and flash back to stock.

You could build you a virtual machine,  

if yo use vmware, it supports usb pass through. Then you  can use odin on the phone in the windows virtual environment.

Are you in the jackson area? I could reflash it for you.

I appreciate the offer. I'll just use my dad's laptop when he's at work.

[zIllusion]

But to confirm, did that fix your singal issue?  Were you able to get cm7 working?

[phocus]

Yes signal is working on stock.  but cm7 is broken

I live in Vicksburg, not Jackson =( I think I'm gonna start mirroring all these ROMS, tired of dead links

[phocus]

Where you able to get your phone back to stock?

What other roms have you found for this phone?

The stock 2.3.5 update came out last weekend. Now I can not re-root (yet).

[zIllusion]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU My phone works. Doin' the 2.3 upgrade now.

Well, I could call but it always went to voicemail, think I'll *228 it or something. Or wait and see what 2.3 does

[zIllusion]

AOSP, EB11, EE25 Froyo, EH09 Showcase, some Samsung Open Source stuff I was working with, Showcase PnP version .2 and 1.0---thats all i have in my collection, may have found others.  im just glad i can call again. will z4root this phone? Let me know if you figure out a way to root, I'll do the same. I'm getting this darn thing rooted!

[zIllusion]

This'll get ya goin'.  https://rapidshare.com/files/1954429045/update.zip  << just install zip (update zip from sd card might work) but I just chose install zip in recovery mode--using cwm4

[Tangentabacus]

We know what to do to fix it, but what exactly is going wrong? I think I've narrowed it down to my PRL settings not being proper... And I can't get my phone to OTA update.

I need some help, maybe someone here knows the answer. I have CM7 on the showcase for c spire and everything seems to be ok except I can not send a sms successfully. I can still receive them but the ones I send are either blank or never reach the destination. I have read that this is usually a problem with the short message service center number or abbreviated SMSC. I have tried flashing the different modems through odin v. 1.7 but it didn't solve the problem. I also typed in the code, *#*#4636#*#*, into the dialer to get into the phone information and my smsc is blank. I would like to enter it manually so if anyone knows the one c spire uses or can find it I would greatly appreciate it.
