[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iPathik:
yea but they still run in the background like for example today i got a call from an unknown caller and T-Mobile ID spammed my screen asking me if i wanted to add this number to my contacts....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
You can turn that off. It is very annoying. I just installed adw ex and set up my own app drawer minus the crap i dont use and im very glad i did. But, for whatever reason, now i can see the vertical lines everyone is talking about. I had the same thing on my nexus s so i know its just the way they are. Ahh well i still love this thing

Why give up? The HD2 had crazier things done to it without source code being released.

Anyone want to send me one of these? As I've said before, I can go in with UART, drop the su binary onto the /system/ folder and pull out the factoryfs.rfs. then we can have a odin package.

Chainfire had the international version rooted without having the device within a day of its release in the UK.

I'm guessing the method involves soldering to the main board...

Hd2 was a beast of a device. SgsII remainds me of it. Really enjoying the gsII so far, pure fast and stable.

@ Can someone who is close to Adam send him the device? Around Louisiana? That's going to help everyone and your name won't be forgotton. That's the only way for us to get a faster root without waiting for the source code...

I'm with you on this one. I'm not sure I understand where everyone feels the 'RIGHT' to have Samsung bow/bend to our every beck and call. You're going to return your phone because *Whine* No root? no source? *Whine*

Wow guys.. Really? The SGS2 is an amazing phone as it stands. I'm not quite sure I understand what the problem is here.

Ok sure.. Titanium Backup would be nice. Themes and ridding the device of it's bloat would also be nice. But seriously. It's a phone. Unbelievable.

Samsung is legally obligated to release the source code upon release of the device since they use Linux and Android.

you will want 619k. There's no schematics. it's fully described. ground pin 5, resistor betwen usb pins 4-5 and data+/- goes to rx/tx

however, "could possibly" gets us nowhere. I will do this if someone sends me a device.

Someone send me a PM.

Mikeyinid, Development does not "just happen". It takes work and sacrifice. I wish there was an unthanks button. I don't spend my time in here to have little punks like you say that development just happens.

I'm done with this thread. You guys handle it. If someone wants to send me a device and get this done, send me a PM. If someone had sent me a device on day-one we would have root by now.

Mikeyinid, I've looked at your threads and you're obviously not a developer. Do not post your counterproductive opinions in a development thread. [DEV] Root the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II (actual Development only! no Chatting)

I effin guarantee adam will get root in one day without a doubt yo u guys want root and dont want to send your device which is understandable u dont know him and it is 600 dollars lets get a pot going if cant wait 3 weeks and get him a phone how can we securely do this?

This may not be possible but I figured I'd try it anyway,

I am wondering if its possible to install a ROM directly to sd slot (on a partition) on a computer then insert the sd into phone and use adb or a file manager to extract or run from the installed partition? I can run Ubuntu this way and if anyone here is good at conversions I think it could be possible. But I ha e done this via USB storage on Mac and PC for ubuntu

Didn't Samsung give a few SGSII's to the Cyanogen mod folks? I'm assuming that was the European version. Perhaps you can contact them and see if they'd sponsor another developer for the TMO variant? Worth a shot.

Still doesnt mean I want them as my provider. I like Tmo. :(

I guess its a good thing the Feds decided to jump in since FCC and sh## werent doing their job as well as they should have.. It should never be approved. It will cause more problems than it will solve.
