Folks re read the OP. There are NO ADB instructions yet and installing it via Rom Manager will not work either at this time. Only way now is to flash via ODIN. THATS IT. pls wait patiently for koush to update the rm server for our phones and an adb option to come up if you dont want to use Odin.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] imnothimm:
It's almost TOO easy to use. I can definitely see why a lot of android noobs are messing up their phones.

EDIT: You know what? Actually I cant. I dont get how all these people are ruining their phones. I get that ODIN is a very very powerful program, but what i dont get is why people cant follow simple instuctions on how to use it. This is the easiest way to obtain root or flash a new image that I've ever seen(apart from one click). I dont get why people simply can't read the easy to follow instructions first....

*Read and follow the instructions and everything will be ok*

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dave2metz:
confused-new to samsung

So now that clockwork has been released, what are the exact steps to root? I was getting confused on the earlier root that came out. To get into recovery do you hold the volume up and down at the same time plus power? I did that and all it did was vibrate ......Please help if u can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] saltmine:
Just a warning to anyone who already has the old version of CWM, I got mixed up and tried it with volume up/down + power button, which just boots into the old CWM. But for this, you need to do volume up/down while the phone is off, then plug in the usb (without ever hitting the power button)

Just clarifying for anyone else who is confused by this. I thought it would be the same process as the original CWM installation, but it isnt.

Also, a question, is there no difference between installing this .tar or waiting for our phone to be added to the ROM Manager app? I assume there is no benefit to wait?

Flashed via ODIN the recovery.tar referenced in the OP, no problems. Rebooted and installed Rom Manager from the market, and it complained (as RM so often does) about lacking an incompatible kernel (?!) which was apparently a red herring.

The error (presumably) should have read: "For some reason I don't know what the hell that recovery.tar thing is and I need to download my own copy of the same thing and reinstall over your copy, please click 'Install Clockwork Recovery' from the main menu to continue, thanks for using Rom Manager -- oh and did you know we have a paid version? Let me tell you about that and several other apps that I have for sale and........(snip)"

tl;dr: No problems installing through ODIN, but Rom Manager still wanted to install its own copy. I assume (since others say this works) that one can simply skip the ODIN step altogether, and just download from RM. Otherwise, I figured it was worth noting that the "install over the install" method is safe*, just be sure to select the T-Mobile version of the SGS2 Clockwork recovery from the menu, of course.

In case anyone else doesn't know, to get to CWM you have to:

2. Press and hold the Vol+ and Vol- buttons.

3. While holding them, press the Power button just until it powers on.

4. Let go of the Power button.

So I tried to flash this using Odin and it ended up with an error of some sort. The first box showed a big error. Now the phone no longer turns on at all. I can't get into download mode but when I plug the phone in I can still hear the computer detecting it. I used to have a Vibrant and had no issues with download mode or ODIN but this is the first time I've run into an issue like this.

Does anybody have any advice to get my S2 back on?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CozzaFrenzyy:
I think as long as odin detects your phone youre good.

I errored once in odin as well, check your driver! also when you plug phone in to the PC give it a minute to install before clicking start in odin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hukkguai:
Any ideas to get back into download mode? My phone won't turn on and won't let me get into download mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CozzaFrenzyy:
are you doing the button combo correct Vol UP+DOWN at same time while phone off and plugging usb?

if you have adb you can try rebooting to downloading mode from there. if odin detects the phone (com box) i would just flash a stock rom, but thats on you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
power off phone

pull out battery

attach phone to pc with usb cable

now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.

now you should be in download mode

Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers

Doesn't work. I think I'll need to get this exchanged as it doesn't turn on at all. ODIN isn't detecting anything and neither is ADB. Boooo!

Thanks for the help though guys. I'll just have to try this again with the new device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ctcpitt:
Are you sure you tried a few times? Samsung Galaxy phones are great because they are virtually impossible to brick.....my old Galaxy Vibrant had me in tears, and I was always able to get into download mode after a few tries, and patience. Try holding all three buttons down and wait for it to vibrate a few times, then release the power button.....it should eventually get you into download mode. Also pull battery out, then plug in usb to computer, the plug battery back on while holding down all three buttons. also I found the the phone will only work on the original USB cord that came with it...learned that through trial and error. Good Luck to you, or anyone else that this helps :-)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hukkguai:
I ended up getting my hand on one of those little Galaxy jigs that can set you up into download mode. Still couldn't get it turned on so I got it exchanged. New one works like a charm. I do appreciate the help though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] camf3xu:
with mine i powered down, pulled battery. put battery back in. hold vol down and up and put in the usb cable (while its plugged into the computer)

===

my question is i successfully flashed via odin but i saw somewhere someone said the old cwm is blue (which made me think the new one is a different color, and mine is still blue.)

im running CWM 5.0.2.6 is this the newest, not the root version?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tenxo:
I flashed by ODIN. Installed ROM Manager Premium (well worth it) and Awesome!...

ROM Manager still prompts you to download the latest CWM the first time you try to use any of it's features. It re-inatalls just fine. ROM Manager works great don't have to do all the button fiddling to get to CWM just open the app. Plus when I tried to do backup when only had the CWM by ODIN, (no sd card installed) it would just fail right away saying unable to mount sdcard. It would not just go to internal for me. That was also both before and after fix permissions.

Using ROM manager. It said unable to mount sdcard like 10 times but then it started to look for internal sd, then it found it and saved my ROM to internal storage.

Moral of the story: Just do the Rom manager way and your all set, easy-cheesy...Also support the DEV!

THANKS

Lol I had the same thing happen to me last night. Screen stayed black no matter what button combination I tried, but my laptop recognized it as some kind of Qualcomm loader device. Couldn't believe that after all the Android devices I've had and the tinkering I've done, that I finally managed to brick one. New phone is working great though and they exchanged it outside of the 14 day policy. Definitely be careful with Odin.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Well A it says can't find device, if manually doing this did you first mount the partition before flashing? Recovery loads its own mini OS that has access to rest of the device. I just grab cwm flash for kernel restart recovery install zip from SD (internal usually), tap to find zip select it and install. Then wipe caches and restart (dalvick cache under advanced and cache in main menu).

If you have stock recovery replace it or most zips won't work. You can toggle script asserts on in install from SD by the way in cwm that may help.

You can always flash stock recovery back if you grab Odin and Odin image also (or heimdall if not on windows)

If using install from SD try re downloading it, may be bad zip file. Use wifi and not mobile data for less errors in transfer and maybe try different browser I have had some browsers process zip downloads from certain places in odd ways at times. Recently UCBrowser has been doing well for me.
