Hey guys some help I bricked the SGSII t989 tmobile and it has the yellow triangle pops up telling me to go to Kies and recover it. I feel really bad now and am downgraded to a google voice and gmail, going to get a G1 tommorrow from a friend.

Any chance someone could post the original firmware zImage md5 so I could flash it back? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going to try to get some sleep.

Thank you very much for any help and assistance.

A second question - how to get back into download mode I can't access adb and the home/volumedown/power does not work.

EDIT: I just realized that nobody has pulled the zimage yet, in that case there is no smiley appropriate for the moment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meiyijun001:
Both hold volumedown and volumeup ，then conect it to your computert with data line。

It will show you download mode option。

otherwise

1、Full power；

2、try 301k Resistance？ok？

Tmobile s2 bricked

Same here . After bricking now the phone shows yellow triangle and whatever we do like download mode or recovery mode it takes us tO ODIN MODE AND this is done while trying to root with wrong .TAR file in ODIN from different s2 variant and we just need to take original factory settIngs with right .TAR FILE IN ODIN PDA help plz
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
u bricked ur device too?? how are u guys bricking?? theres no root???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Born_Immaculate88:
:eek: Why would you use the .TAR file from another Galaxy S II Variant? The other galaxy S II devices have different processors and are running different versions of android and if you go look at the Kernel version on the T-Mobile Galaxy S II its just a number EX: (2.6.35.11) as opposed to a sequence of numbers and letters. You will have to wait till there is a way to root the Galaxy S II for T-Mobile if holding the up and down volume keys and Plugging up to the computer does not work.

How is that trial and error? Everyone knew from day 1 those exploits wouldn't work... Seemed obvious to me at least.

As far as the op goes, take it back to Tmobile and play dumb. Don't say a thing about flashing, hopefully they'll replace it.

If not, boned till we get root and someone can compile a flashable stock ROM for you.

I can solve it- next time don't flash .TAR files meant for different phones. Why would you even do such a thing? You're boned until we get root & roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
I think some things are just a function of intelligence-

I just bought my first ever android phone a few days ago but I still figured out quickly enough not to flash my phone since there isnt a proper root for it and have enough sense not to put the software for another phone on my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kabuk1:
Seriously. I'm no noob- I've been flashing roms since my Treo days, but even now I still double & triple check everything I flash to my phone. I feel bad for anyone with a bricked phone, but jeez, use a little common sense.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] toofly:
oops? (help)

I am totally new to rooting, never tried it before, but managed to mess up my t-mo SGS2.

So... I swear I wasn't being over eager. I simply didn't know the CF-Root .tar I was trying to flash to my SGH-T989 was for some EU version... Anyways, after many hours of reading, I have discovered that 1) there is not root yet. 2) Source code has been released by Samsung...

Odin see's my phone when it's plugged in as confirmed by the yellow com 3 box. I've unzipped both the SGH-T989_Kernel.tar and the SGH-T989_Platform.tar files from Samsung, but have no idea where to go from here.

Is it as simple as loading one of those .tar files to the "pda" section of Odin and pressing start?

I tried doing an emergency firmware restore in Kies, but it doesn't recognize the phone anymore (after i flashed the wrong firmware).

Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't have a local t-mo store to run to like the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
Hahahahahahaha........another one days after the OP ?!?!?!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] toofly:
I think I'm starting to get it...

So from reading the Dev discussion for our phone, my guess is that once someone makes a PIT file for the T989, that combined with the Kernel.tar loaded in the PDA section of Odin should restore my phone?

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Serious help is needed

Yesterday i purchased the Tmobile Samsung Galaxy Sii and my girlfriend tried to install some custom rom since she didnt like touchwiz now the phone wont even power on and some local repair shops say its bricked and cant be fixed...please tell me thats not true and what do i need to do to get this baby back up and running?????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] princeasi:
No one is gonna help because you haven't offered enough information.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pborghee:
More info

I dont know exactly what she did because she doesnt even know. But she tried to install something called villianrom and she said she followed the instructions. She said as soon as she installed through the sd card the screen went black and now it wont do anything. When i do plug the phone into the computer via usb it pops up and tried to load the drivers so i assume the phone isnt completely dead. I dont know what else info you might need. Is there a way to reverse the process if the screen wont even come on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Locksmith81:
So she rooted the phone and it has CWR?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atoore:
Sorry to tell but sadly your hard bricked :(... just run down to local T-Mobile store and change it.

If you can't get to download mode your hard bricked. Jig might help but not always.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I thought samsung devices were nearly impossible to brick. Coming from htc devices

if my phone didn't turn on normally but booted up in bootloader mode. I would just put the stock rom there and flash it through the bootloader. So if download mode isn't an option. Because i flashed a diffrent variant rom. Would i still be able to j-tag the device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] atoore:
Here is the thing, if your phone boots but not fully, its soft bricked. If it boots but you can't get to download mode, get jig.

If the phone doesn't boot at all, black screen, don't charege etc etc... its hard bricked and you will need to exchange it eventually....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pborghee:
im stuck

Yes she tried to root and used CWR or whatever its called....i thought samsung phones couldnt be bricked either thats why i wasnt too worried...tmobile wont give me a new device because i had it under 24 hours and wasnt able to make a phone call so the warranty didnt kick in...so basically what your telling me if its hard bricked im screwed? since its still under the manufactor warranty couldnt i send it back to samsung and they can fix it right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
You have a 14 day return policy to return the phone they have to take it back by law 30 days in California. Tell them it just stop working.

---------- Post added at 09:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

So any old usb jig will do? Or do i need a certain type of usb jig for samsung devices?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ctcpitt:
ou cant get into recovery or download?

Download - Power off phone plug in USB cable, hold down power, and volume up/down keys , then release power key after 30 seconds or so, you should be able to get into download mode and Odin back to Stock.

Recovery - If she flashed CWM, then unplug usb, then use same key combo and if she made a backup you can restore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pborghee:
You would think

I bought the phone while on business at a kiosk at the DFW airport...i spoke with Samsung tech support and they said i can ship the phone to them and they will fix it and send it back to me within 7 days...i just dont know what they will say when they see it had been tried to be rooted...i just wish i could restore myself...i tried the holding the button method but odin doesnt see the phone and the phone doesnt turn on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Lol @ post. Ever see that cartoon where the guy takes the car to the tire shop for a new tire? The tire guy says the spare is on wrong and the guy says "the wife changed it" and they both laugh?

Did your girl really do it or you want to avoid the noob moment? Most people don't go somewhere and leave a brand new toy at home. And most girls that don't know what they're doing don't mess with rooting phones. If it was your phone, why would she need a rom on it?

Sorry to seem like a troll... Story just seems odd.

Deebo took your bike too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pborghee:
Really?

The story is as correct as it happened. Im not saying im not a noob, if i wasnt a noob i would know what to do in this situation but since i dont im going to assume everyone knows im a noob. I left my "toy" at home because i wasnt going to be gone long and hadent put anything on the phone. No contacts i didnt even get a chance to put in my gmail info. She said a guy at her work showed her a cool theme on his SGSII and she thought she could do the same. I aint mad at her i just want it fixed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] princeasi:
Sometimes when my day gets off to a bad start, I come here to get a good laugh to get me back on track........ Honestly it doesn't matter whether your story is true or not but the fact that you stated your gf decided to try to root your phone, and she didn't know what the hell she was doing it mad funny to me lollll! Oh gawd lol, and and please don't tell me that was here 1st time ever rooting period! Cmon you can tell us... Was your precious sgs2 her 1st time (holding back laugh)????

Hi,

I want to by the incredible s but in my country, Greece this phone will never come officially by an official trader. So i decided to by it from another country of EU.As the Greek sales manager told me, the european version of this phone supports Greek language but in some cases when an official update occurs, it may loose the Greek language and need to re flash it again.Is this possible?Can the EU version support greek language?Also i have heard about an apk called MoreLocale2 that can give any language you wish in your phone.Is this app the solution?Any proposals will be accepted.Thanks for your time.

I don't even get to welcome screen.

Antivirus and Firewall are turned off, TD2 is synced.

I don't get this as I did this for my old Diamond and it worked perfect.

I tried another Win 7 installation and will try another PC. Checked .NET but nothing helped.

Anyone familiar with this issue?

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kainv:
I'm having WiFi problems with A100 (w/ stock Honeycomb 3.2).

I have a Netgear WNR3500L wireless router (currently working in N/G mixed mode, but have tried all other modes as well) with DD-WRT v24-sp2 (08/07/10) mega firmware.

I have my router behind a wooden wall and the WiFi coverage with A100 is only about 5-6 meters! Go anywhere beyond that radius and it keeps losing the connection.

Have tried different modes and channels on my router, but nothing seems to help.

All my other (10 or so) wireless devices work flawlessly and have a very stable connection in all areas where the A100 doesn't.

Anybody knows if there's some kind of patch or workaround for this problem?

(I've already read suggestions to use static IP instead of DHCP assigned one, but that just a silly suggestion IMHO.)

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] BRG:
U got toe same problem... On 2 routers
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
What is the received signal level reported by the A100 compared to the other wireless devices at the same location?

For Android devices, the best tool is WiFi Analyzer (along with its connecter libraries).

For a Linux netbook or laptop use iwconfig to get the rx level.

Any level greater than -80dBm should provide a stable connection. WiFi Analyzer will show you interfering access points and suggest the best channel.

If the A100 reports consistently lower than others, I think you have to replace it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kainv:
Thank you for your reply.

Yes, it has about 10 to 15 dB weaker signal compared to other android devices in the same spot. The signal on A100 is jumping around between -85 to -70dB.

I guess I'll take it back to the store then :(
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] stanggman75:
I had terrible wifi problems when I first got my A100. It kept kicking on and off so I couldn't download anything. I changed the settings and this is a permanent fix for me so far.

I long pressed the wifi network I was on. I selected modify network. And then all I did was change the IP settings to static. I hope this helps others.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] kainv:
I took the Iconia back, got a refund and bought Sony S1 tablet instead.

And it rocks :) At the same spot, where Iconia kept loosing the wifi connection, the S1 has full wifi bars.

That was my first experience with Acer devices and probably the last one also.

Hello out there.

My incredible s used to connect to my PC but all of a sudden it stopped. I have WIN7 64bit installed and when I plug my phone in, the screen turns on and gives me the options. I select mount as hard drive, and nothing happens. Nothing shows up in device manager, no install hardware pop ups nothing.

Ive reinstalled HTC sync, ive tried different drivers, ive delet3ed the drivers and let them install again. I Even unrooted my phone and restored it to the factory rom.

If I plug it in on a PC with xp it works so its not the phone. Ive been searching the net for weeks and it seems to be a common problem but no one gives an answer on how to fix it.

I cant even connect via hboot. SD card is fine, mounts on the phone mounts in card reader and mounts via my phone from an xp PC

There must be someone out there that can fix this for me.

Cheers.

could the problem be the USB jack in your computer rather than the phone itself? perhaps test other devices in the USB jack on the computer, or test the phone and cord on another comp to help isolate the problem
[HTC Incredible S] Filipiak:
The Usb ports are fine, Ive tried the front, the back, in a hub, in my keyboard nothing happens. The phone knows its been plugged in as it brings up the menu to choose either charge, hard disk, tether etc... Just the PC ignors it.

Everything else works in those ports.
