which directions? Odin or the one you flash? If Odin do you remember the error?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voidthedroid:
No prob!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scmurphy13:
I did Odin. I had originally done the flash one a couple of days ago because when I got the phone, it was rooted and I didn't want it to be, so I flashed. Then this morning I tried the Odin way to go make sure it was 100% stock. I don't remember the error. It started to run a little, and then it said fail.

uvkid

I searched. but... here's a really noobish question, I apologize in advance... what is uvkid and is that stock? or is that someones "user-tag"?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voidthedroid:
Don't really understand the Queston. Are you talking about the base band? No need to apologize
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] svahora:
Nevermind, I thought a 3rd party user named UKVID made that version of it. But thats just stock. Thanks!

-Would t-mobile know that something was ever rooted with this method?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DinkinFlicka:
Yep I used Zedomax's rom to unroot TricH's Bombardier ROM, but it didn't get rid of the Synergy kernel. Luckily, the Odin recovery worked and I'm fully back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] intricatedesign:
Thank you all in advance for this post. I just want to be thorough and get this straight: If I use the Odin method: custom kernel is replaced by stock kernel, custom ROM is replaced by stock ROM, and CWM recovery will be removed? Or will it only do some/one of the processes written above? Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phonepersonality:
ODIN reverts back to full stock rom. No more custom ROM/Kernel and No CWM.

I hope that helps )

---------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 PM ----------

T-Mo most likely can't tell.

Samsung will be able to tell that an image has been flashed on the device via ODIN due to the counter it has embedded.

Only the little USB jig is known to clear the counter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
Ok, I am not too sure what the heck happened..I had 2.3.6 with wifi calling and I did the Oiden method and came back it seem to have worked but then it went to see if it was rooted and it was not. I tried to reflash back to the Tmobile stock but Samsung keis didn't recognize my device any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Did you odin back to kd1 or kl1. When you odin it does restore your recovery image but it doesnt do a factory reset for you. Try odin back to 2.3.6 t989kid. Then do a factory reset after and then try to see if kies will recognize.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rastlin:
I am not too sure where to find the information you require

Thank you for the information. It is quite useful. Didn't try it yet but will let you know when I do.

Update: I just tried the ODIN method and it woks flawlessly. Thanks again for you efforts.

Ok

So i'm getting mixed reviews about Zedomaxs stock rom. Would I be able to do a factory warranty exchange with this? I just don't want to be charged for another Samsung Galaxy S 2? Any help from anybody still looking at this thread would help. Anybody who has done what I just explained above. Don't have to return the phone till the 13th of this month, so help would be appreciated.

I know someone already answer this question but what happen to mine was, i am on speedmod kernel. Without unroot, i flash back using pv odin, to gb then trying to root the gb unsuccesfully. The reason i want to flash paranoid. Then i flash lp9 with 16bit pit. When i flash speedmod, the program request to overide the old file.???. I thought when we go back to stock, it should wipe the whole apk. I did full wipe too via cwm. Now i want to try kingdroid should i unroot first or just overide?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] s1yfox:
Odin Mode

Welp, I wanted to go back to stock, flashed the file, and towards the very end of the cache part it failed. Now I am stuck in limbo(ODIN MODE). I was flashing down from Darkside rom 3 v7. Maybe it was the md5 file? idk sadly.

Any pointers? I am green as grass on this stuff
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLaughingMan:
I realize this is a really old thread but I just want to say how grateful I am to the OP and Zedomax. My Galaxy S II's USB port got fried so I couldn't ODIN back to stock or anything, but I still had a custom ROM, kernel, and recovery. I was able to put these two files on the sdcard and flash them so I can send the device back. Thank you so much!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NOXQCS:

Can some one please check. I rooted the phone and the buttons were working after that. But they stopped working after I installed unlock sgs app from market. Did anyone faced any of these issues.

Problem is all the 4 buttons didn't work no LED light and no function.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ken2110:
I have the kernel version of 2.6.35.11. Which one you think is good.

took the battery out and restarted. But no effect. Still same. Any help will be greatly appreciated
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SGS2X:
None of the unlock apps from the market work on the T-mobile/Telus version of the sgs2, so maybe that might be the problem? Try uninstalling it..

Or try wiping dalvik cache?

If that doesn't work, backup the apps and stuff using titanium backup and flash the rom/kernal again (factory wipe, wipe dalvik cache and other cache)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Yeah try uninstalling that app then reboot into recovery and clear your dalvik cache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ken2110:
No results

Done factory reset cleared all the cache and its same.. all 4 buttons not working..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Alright well then you're going to have to do a full wipe and re flash the ROM.

Not positive that will work, but it's your only option at this point. If that doesn't work, it might be a hardware problem.

EDIT: I guess you could try clearing both caches and flashing the same ROM without a full wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ken2110:
any idea how to do that
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Put the ROM on the root of your external sd card, reboot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup, wipe data, clear cache, go to advanced and clear dalvik, go to install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, then click on the ROM .zip file.

Let me know if you need help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ken2110:
which will be the good ROM for samsung galaxy s2 T989 t mobile.. is Cynogen good or Icecream

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ken2110:
i loaded Icecream (domination1.5) but it has not fixed the problem... This is the unique problem I guess..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Damn, definitely call Tmobile and get a replacement sent out. Just make sure to return your phone to stock before sending it back. Tell them you have already done a factory reset to save yourself some time.

Hi ken,

I did the exact same thing that you did. I was trying to unlock my Tmobile Galaxy S2 with that very same app and after that ,,,boom,,, the soft buttons all stopped working... no lights at all...I'm only able to use the touchscreen but not the buttons. I've researched a lot and a lot of people have suggested flashing different kernels and I've done that too but haven't been able to fix it even till today. Please let me know if you've figured it out. Thanks.

Hi,

I flashed the stock unbranded ROM for galaxy s 2 because I had to much bug. I used to text,note etc.. with swype. But now when I check the swype option I only get swype in English, Spanish etc.. but that's not my problem. My problem is that I talk french too and i'd like to use the French keyboard but it's only for France ( because they use azerty ).

I uninstall the swype application and settings ( root manager and titanium backup pro ). I read that when you install the swype apk ( AMERICA ONE ) that it will show French Canadian instead of French..

So if anyone can provide me the swype APK (canada or us one) would be AWESOME !

Thank you in advance.

My only concern would be how difficult it would be to see the screen if you're four feet away in a comfortable typing position.

And if you're getting a full sized keyboard, lugging it around would be a pain. Easier to just use a laptop if you have one.

Hi,

I flashed a ROM that was not compatible with my phones region, I got a "failed" on ODIN , I tried to reboot any way and I got a Samsung phone message telling me that the firmware update was not successful, even when I tried to reboot into recovery.

So I put my phone on download mode and reflashed the CF-XXXX with ODIN

But I cannot reboot into recovery, I just keep getting the intital start screen, with the beautiful yellow triangle! it stays there as long as the phone is on.

I can always go into download mode, but no recovery mode or phone operation.

Is this a bootloader issue? how can I fix the boot loader?

thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minty1978:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:

Not compatible with your region doesn't sound right to me. Not compatible with your phone maybe??

Find and download compatible firmware for your phone.

Good luck. Download a stock rom from intratech thread n flash with Odin. Should work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Re-extract the .tar from the .zip and try flashing again. If that gets you no love, DL the firmware again. Make sure you kill all Kies (must be installed however) processes before you start flashing away with Odin.
