The pesimist in me wanted to do some searching. This phone has troubled me from just after the buyer's remorse period. I went to the EB-Productions web site. There are no references to the BH2 on there. That is where BH-Man's, aka Eugene, final activities were hosted. Just saying.
I thought at first it was somebody's sick idea of an April Fools joke, and not the real Eugene at all. But this happened on April 3rd. I also see a tweet from Eugene (yesterday) saying the same thing. Apparently @boloj sent him a BH2 to play with, and he's become inspired again. Thank you boloj!

Ohh ok. i never knew that there was a sperate partition for radio and whether or not it would affect the whole operating system if messed with.
would performance increase from the froyo rom?
becuase i have an LG optimus t and it runs at 600 mhz which is not far from 528mhz so i thought since LG can run froyo and even gingerbread that this was possible.
Also would you be able to invite some dev from the other phones to help work on our phone as it would cut your work time as well as help in furhter deving on the behold 2?

STL7 is the Radio partition.. Just even mounting it & forgetting to unmount before rebooting will brick the phone.
honestly help isn't really needed at this point, the only thing I had issue with was the sound, and I've really gotten to know kernel's in general
The whole issue with my 2.2.1 was the kernel source.
what I really need is the original bh2 1.6 update.tar with pit file, I've seemed to lost that crap with the last linux crash
I'm guessing I don't have anything helpful (I know virtually nothing about this stuff), but I still have my BH2 and can extract any files you need. I also kept the UVJA3 update onepackage (.tar.md5) stuff...like I said, probably not what you're looking for, but I thought I'd offer lol
i can try an getting in touch with John holmes as i am certain that he has all the files including the oc kernel. maybe that can make it easier for you.
I have some stock Odin packages. T939UVJA3 that contains the bootloader, pda and phone tar files with dates 3/18/2010. If this is what you need let me know.

I think so, does it also have the .pit file as well?
I'll take what I can get though
thank you so much for replying with this.
I'm hoping to get started Sat. but most of the stock stuff I find don't contain the .pit file.
or BL an so forth.... Do you have a link? or do you need to upload it?
The behold 2 has 64MB of Video Ram & 256MB or Ram.. There is no Reason why is couldn't run Froyo!! or eclair for that matter!
This little nasty ass phone I think will always be my favorite phone, it's the first phone I truly start Dev. on and not just copy & paste shit so it would make me at peace to finally get 2.2 on it and show the worl this phone had great hardware and just got passed over... maybe the behold 2 can make a come back if we get this done!!
lmao...
anyways, hoping to get started on it this weekend, finishing up my SGS2 project tonight to clear my weekend for it
I don't see a .pit file. The zip file contains the following:
Behold2.ops
Odin Multi-Downloader v4.03.exe
Samsung ADB Driver.zip
T939UVJA3-BOOTLOADER-20100318.tar.md5
T939UVJA3-PDA-20100318.tar.md5
T939UVJA3-PHONE-20100318.tar.md5
I will need to upload it first, will get you a link asap.

The bold 2 don't have a pit... the way the behold 2 is, it's like a nandroid in odin form...
.ops is the .pit for the behold 2

Just the amount of work you put into all the phones and stuff, sheesh.
Okay now down to subject, did you get the the .pit file? I will look for one regardless. Second thing, you know how they said ICS was supposed to "unite" all devices? Do you even think BH2 has possible harware specs to run it? Im just curious
Oh and another thing, I cant seem to find the broken 2.1 anywhere D: I wanna try it out, and dont flame on me for not being a dev :P I only know minor Java, decent C++ & C#, and python. (I read every post from page 1-15 and still cant find a plausible link lol)
Hey you know if Eugene is still on this? Im just wondering whats up with him lol, I got a BH2 by accident from friend cuz he got a new phone. And me being my rebel self with trying to hack every electronic I have xD I decided to see whats up with this device
Device(s): Samsung Behold II
1.6 galaxy BH_MAN R9 ROM
Motorola Cliq XT
1.5 w/ MotoBlur
Carrier: Not Provided

I will donate $50 if you bring this phone back to life.
I saw this thread got started up again and am very hopeful
What's the latest stable rom for the behold 2? I flashed my wife's phone with one a while back and she has contact FC and such. I wanted to flash it fresh with something more stable.
Is EUGENE373_PDA_FINAL.zip the latest stable release from Eugene?
Heartily agree Eugene! And thanks for picking it up again. This was my very first Android phone and I am seriously bent out of shape that Samsung abandoned us so fast. (In fact I'm boycotting all their products because of this foul treatment.)
Regarding speed, IIRC Google optimized better from 2.0 onward. Or maybe you just got rid of the Samsung "value added" touch wiz interface. I know one dev of my favorite tablet, a Skytex Skypad Alpha 2 who is still running 2.3 on it. He claims ICS is much slower. (:-( It will be interesting if you get ICS going on the BH2 to see if it's slower as well.

I have ICS running but it's very slow... I figured it was the error in the background, but there could be truth as what you stated..
I would like to get a GB project going though, this phone is amazing once 1.6 is taken off it! Honestly I forgot how much I liked this phone, and once I got GAOSP 2.2.1 booting correctly the phone feels like brand new to me..
Like to find others that want to help breath new life into this device.. I 100% sure GB would run fine with 64mb of video ebi & 256mb memory!
I would gladly give this a try--how exciting to think that this old phone might become a bit more functional! It's a beautiful piece of hardware, and I'd love to see it get some new potential.
