There was no adjustment for 500 miles mins in the recal. The recal gave you EQMs earned based on the rules at that time in place of BIS -- that all it did. The was the PMCO appraoch and the recal was to place all on the same method -- EQMs earned. It did not change earning rules ( or the PMCO folks getting 50% would have rights to request a recal.

So if a flight did not get 500 mile minimums at the time it was first posted, it wouldn't get a 500 mile minimum during the readjustment. I thought I saw some other examples involved Shuttle by United not getting a retroactive minimum but I can't find them right now.
correct -- there was no mention of any adjustments of 500 mile min

LongingForORD, all in all, anything that counted toward elite status in previous years was counted. Anything that did not count toward elite status previously, was not counted. For example, the following count as part of your recalibrated lifetime balance:
- EQM earned from flights on Star Alliance partners
- EQM earned from class-of-service / full-fare bonuses (typically 50% for First, Business, and full-fare Economy)
- EQM earned from activity with specific Chase Credit Cards
- EQM from certain promotional offers, such as Double EQM or Purchase EQM offers
Examples that don’t count include:
- Redeemable/award miles from credit card spend, hotel, car or retail partners
- Purchase Miles, Gift Miles, Transfer Miles or Reward Miles
- Redeemable flight bonus award miles, including elite bonus miles (25% for Premier, 100% for Premier Executive and 1K)
- Redeemable bonus award miles from most promotional offers
- Flight miles from non-Star Alliance partners
- Redeemable/award miles earned from class-of-service / full-fare bonuses (in 2011, typically between 25% and 50% for First or Business)
