In fact, this was quite successful; all you did was flash the stock version of EC10 as released from US Cellular; the only difference between this version and the one from the US Cell website is that this is flashed using Odin, rather than Kies Mini.
US Cellular won't hand you an image that includes root, so you'll need to re-root your phone after flashing this. Otherwise, that's all this is, as the title says: a Stock Froyo update.
What are you after for an end-result---custom ROM? Getting CWM Red flashed? Getting your phone back to stock?
If you're after the last point, you've got it. The other suggestions require additional steps.
After that, I turned on my phone and all I noticed was that I no longer have SU, so Im assuming all I did was un root my phone.
Any help, please?
I know how to root my phone, but I chose this method to easily get recovery going.
I have a Samsung Mesmerize from USCC. SCH - I500. etc.
He's correct you grabbed the stock only - there is one with custom recovery and root there as well if you wanted the ability to customize your phone any further (you don't have to use it of course, if that's not your plan)
I never could understand the recovery aspect of this whole "hacking" my Mes until I finally read a thread mentioning the 3 finger method. THEN it all clicked! Blue recovery (blue text) and red recovery (red text). Yada, Yada, Yada...
As of my end results, I wanted to get a custom kernel, ROM, theme, mod, and maybe a radio (I need to learn more about those first).
What I still don't understand is how some of the custom kernels work, finding that perfect theme (I'm almost debating whether I should learn how to make a theme), and radios.
I just got my first smartphone (droid, mes, whatever you wanna call it) about a month ago and I've been trying to learn the insides and outs of my phone for probably 2 weeks now.
EDIT: This is slighly unclear to me, but can I only use TW Kernels? or can I use AOSP Kernels? The thread says I would want to use the TW Kernels.

Believe it or not, as the guy who wrote the Mesmerize Glossary (see signature), I've only had my Mes for maybe a couple months or so---and like you, this is not only my first Android device, but my first smartphone altogether. XD LOTS of reading later, here I am. XD
Shameless self-promotion aside, have a glance at the glossary; it should explain what you need. Note that AOSP kernels can only go with AOSP-based ROMs, and TouchWiz kernels can only go with TouchWiz ROMs, and ne'er the twain shall meet, as it were. So pretty much just pick the ROM you want to use, look to see whether it's TouchWiz or AOSP-based, and then get a kernel that corresponds. Some ROMs even bundle an appropriate kernel already, so make sure to read the full first post of the ROM you want.
Haha yeah thanks man I've been starting to read a bunch. I actually already took a glance at your glossary too while waiting in response to my post. Ill always make a reference back to that thread.
So what you're saying is that the kernel is based off of the ROM that I want to use?
So I can use either the TW kernels or the AOSP kernels?

Not exactly. Like ChromWolf said, it depends on the ROM you're running. AOSP kernels are only for AOSP ROMs like MIUI, CyanogenMod, Vanilla Froyo, etc. TW kernels are for almost everything else (SFC, Ultimate Kangbang, Heinz 57, etc.) The OP for the ROM should tell you which you can use.
For what it's worth, the voodoo & custom recovery doesn't work for me any more. It gives "Unable to mount /dev/sdl11" repeatedly. Not really a big deal as I use the stock ROM when re-flashing usually anyway, but it'd be nice to be able to go back to a pre-rooted, pre-voodoo'ed (lol) ROM sometimes.

That one is getting pulled anyway. It's obsolete now with all of the new kernels and recoveries that are available anyway.
On another note, there is a new build coming soon that will make the entire EC10 build obsolete.
Come see us on irc #samsung-mesmerize if you have a question or just want to hang out.

From what I gather it's just an update to address the missed calls issue.
I figured as much. I rarely actually talk on my "phone" so I don't really have any issues with missed calls. I just hope that USCC doesn't have the network snafu verizon had with the LTE rollout. Anybody heard about the new phones for this?
