Can I get a download link for Odin please? The one in the OP is not working and I am not sure what version to use. This time i am restoring my phone :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Ok...Odin 3.07
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
Well, it looks like the sampro.pl link in the OP is down.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Use mine...the one in the above post...or try Here, look towards the bottom of page.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pandemic187:
What was looking for was the (updated) stock ROM image, not Odin. But the link seems to be functional again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
The newest stock ROM is UVLI4.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
I haven't done this in a while, but I think you need to download the firmware version (Stock Rom) from the Samsung Website for your phone and carrier. Then you need to use ODIN to install it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] b00m83:
Thanks!

Everything works just like it should if you follow the steps.I was able to revert it to stock since i screwed it and taught the phone would be trash.Good job!!!

Excellent! That's what we're here for!!

Worked flawlessly on my T989. Nice work and its much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smartguy10:
I tried the method posted in the thread I don't see any progress made in the Odin , waited 10 minutes .

How long I need to wait before I know to start again . Does this odin installs ICS or jb .Issue I am having is the phone is stuck on Samsung restore message
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
It will install any of them...

Flashed Various Radio also but it didn't fix it

This is a sticky, but most all of the links no longer work. hotfile.com was shut down for being an illegal site. mediafire.com doesn't host ODIN anymore because of Copyright infringement. sampro.pl is useless now because all of its links pointed to hotfile.com.

Can the OP update this or can a mod remove this from the primary sticky?

Ps. If you need the firmware, you can legally find it here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares after you register a free account.

anything that works on t989D bro!

I never thought that I would find them online so I deleted my archive :(

Do you, or anyone for that matter happen to have some 2.3.6 files you could upload???? I want to go back to gingerbread for fun but I can't seem to find a working download anywhere.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushing:
Gingerbread is not fun. I did that... Waste of time really
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Oh I think I know why. Did you guys extract the downloaded file? You have to extract it for the files.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
odin pda does not recognize zip. so most likely he extracted it and flashed the zip file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] k holley:
no wifi calling

i did this and it worked but i didnt have wifi calling in there
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
It's a 2.3.5 base, if I'm not mistaken. OTA update for WiFi Calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nandixon:
It's actually 2.3.6. Wifi calling is present. Menu-> Settings-> Wireless and network
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Oh alright.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
yeah as i suggested before, you should update the OP and state that this is KL1 2.3.6 T-mobile stock rom. whereas the other two stock roms can be found in one of Allgamer stickies along with this one.

heck, i suggest you update the op and include all 3 stock roms together with this guide to make things simpler for those who want to go back to 2.3.5 (why? lol) and for the telus users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mr.H0811:
Worked like a charm! Thanks button hit!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] k holley:
wifi calling

yea i did look in settings in wireless networks its the fourth section however when i flashed back to stock it did not show up in there i promise not trying to b a pain:D oh ok i downloaded the other one in broken back to stocks link its base was 2.3.5 so if i would have done a ota it would have brought wifi calling?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] k holley:
ok guys can i start with saying i fing love this guide! i am 100percent stock. in download mode it says custom binary-no and below that it says samsung official am i good to go?:D

Yep, you're good to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sunlaw2:
Whats the stock file size?

Op states more than 500,but the download is like 309mb.

Its not a zip file.(new to odin,but I believe it does not flash zips anyway).

One last clarification needed-when odin is run,it is epic4g or something,do I still use it?

Would it be easier to flash zedomaxs stock rom and the update via kies?

I odin the rom, kernel and the recovery without any error message. Everything says pass at the end but I keep getting google service framework, android process acore and android phone force close and cannot pass through the android guy screen. It won't let me setup. I cannot receive any calls but I could get voicemails and could dial to voicemail only. Can someone help?

I was on ICS rom before but there were many apps that was not responding so I decided to go back to stock. I odin T989UVKID_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL594724_REV00.tar and then it rebooted and since then I have been getting the force close warning. I continued to odin the kernel (SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID.tar) and then recovery (SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar). Still no go, rebooting has no problem too, it says verified package and no error message whatsoever.

Please help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
You don't need three files. Just go to the OP in this thread, and follow it EXACTLY. As if you haven't done anything yet. There is only one file.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voonli24:
Thanks for your reply once again.

I tried odin the file in the OP but still doesn't work. It still has the force close warning once it enters the android screen.

And another thing is that it didn't reboot twice by itself. It only rebooted once.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
That is extremely weird. Flash CWM through ODIN and wipe everything. Data, Cache, and Dalvik. Then fix permissions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voonli24:
I'm sorry for being a noob, but how do I flash CWM through odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
Cant remember the link. Sorry. Google around or search the forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] voonli24:

What ICS ROM were you on? I'm wanting to go back to GB myself, but I just want to get some info first to see what ROMs give any issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
It was probably just that the apps werent updated to work on ICS yet, theres no problems on most of the ICS ROMs. Just a few bugs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quadrapole:
i'm going back to stock GB as well.

too many of these so called "small" bugs.

i was on darksidw beta 4.

these dev made ics roms have lots of small bugs. for example, the lock screen pattern would shift to the right and 2 rows of the dots are off the screen and i can't unlock my phone and i'd have to restart the phone to get the dots to appear correctly.

the alarm clock volume is very low despite it being set to the max volume in the alarm setting.

sometimes lock screen would be default darkside lock screen, and sometimes it would pop up my pattern unlock lockscreen.

i use apex launcher and sometimes the phone would render darkside homescreen and sometimes apex homescreen.

gps is broken.

a lot of these "small" bugs are annoying and i'm going back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
I had the lockscreen issue on GB aswell. It's not an ICS bug. And GPS works fine for me. Alarm is quite loud over here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] quadrapole:
I haven't had lock screen issue on stock gb. I set the alarm sound level in timer to loudest in dark side but its really quiet when it rings. And I use the timer in clocks, not the actual set time alarm.

maybe its because i'm on Telus t989d, but these ics ROM built on att and tmo base have loss of bugs for me.

Anyway, thanks a lot op. Directions worked great. Had boot looping and wiping cache/factory reset wipe worked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BeautifulTrauma:
I am thinking i'm ready to die... So i followed this exactly and even tried as someone said by flashin CWM through odin..

Well i have the force close on set up wizard so it doesn't go any further i can't use CWM because as soon as i move down or up it reboots.. so i can't flash zip to put a rom on there real quick.. i'm totally stuck o.o;; what do I do? I came from Infamous ROM which had so many problems..but i'm now wishing i just kept it..:mad:

(OMG guys anyone else having that problem just make sure you wipe your cache and everything, I never use to wipe anything and obviously that can cause some major conflicts. I feel dumb -.- thanks guys! )

Will there be a tutorial on reverting to stock ICS that was released OTA recently for T-Mo users? I had rooted by then, but I only did it to get ICS and then they sent it OTA and I never got it. I'd like to see what that was like. A lot of devs just have way too many issues in their ICS roms.

you dont need to reflash cwm just reboot into stock recovery and factory reset and wipe cache. Installing cwm is pointless if you want to be completely stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Michowski:
I wanted to bring my phone back to stock and just root it without any roms. I followed the guide and got the stock setup installed. Problem I am having is trying to go into cwm so I can wipe everything and install superuser. I hold vol up and down, hit the power button and it doesn't do anything. Samsung logo comes up and then goes black, phone vibrates ever 2 seconds and thats it. If i let go of the buttons it just boots up. I just want the latest up to date stock software installed with root, no roms or anything else.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hobakill:
i have the exact same issue except i have odin 1.85. i can't get kies to recognize the device nor can i get odin to complete the flash. dunno if it's doing anything in "fireware upgrade encountered an issue...." mode. trying to get this thing back to a point where i can at least get back into 'download' mode.

EDIT - i'm stuck in recovery.img in odin. i've let it sit for well over 30 min.

Update 1 - I seem to be making progress. i'm doing all of this on an OSX box with vmware fusion for windows. i had previously been running win7_64bit. spun up a 32 version of win7 and ran the same process. i'm getting much further in the odin process. now i have a progress bar and it's telling me it's installing stuff. i get stuck on cache.img.ext4 but i'm going to let it sit and do its thing for a while. i'll update when i've made more progress.

Update 2 - Well i let it sit and i seem to be back to square 1. i tried re-flashing the stock rom and i'm not logger getting the progress bar i once did.

Update 3 - Final - Something bad happened. phone no longer boots. is not recognizable by mac, win, linux boxes. called tmobile. they are sending me a 'new' one. oh well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Indian9990:

ok i flashed the md5 file thru odin but when my phone rebooted towards the end i'm getting no signal and my baseband is unknown. Need help!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
I would like to warn everyone here regarding this tutorial:

Every once in a while the ODIN distro you download has a PIT file inside. If you, like me, foolishly use it, you will

hard-brick your phone

. Afterwards it will only get recognized as the Qualcomm device in download mode and will not power on. You won't be able to get into the Samsung download mode.

So, in a nutshell, caution when using ODIN: you must never use "Re-partition", which makes use of your PIT file, and you must never load the PIT file that comes with ODIN.

[EDIT:]

The correct way to restore to stock is completely without a PIT file, so don't load one, and with "Re-partition" unchecked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bobbyphoenix:
I just reread the op. Where does it say anything about PIT? If you follow the instructions you shouldn't have a problem. If there are other files or options you find, but they aren't listed in the op you should be ignoring them anyway. I'm not criticizing anyone for not following, but I'm just curious to why you would mess with things not in the op.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
It doesn't, but my post does say that I foolishly loaded one. :-)

The reason for this post is because I hard-bricked my phone and two people before me did the same. Three is enough, I say.

I come here saying "I messed up, learn from my mistake." It wasn't immediately obvious to me what a PIT file really is, it took quite a bit of Googling to find this out, and even more Googling to find out there is no PIT file leaked for my phone. I see a file that isn't being used, I see that for other devices one IS used, and I assumed it would work for my phone. Wrong.

Feel free to correct my analysis of the situation if you know more than I do. I appear to be the first person to go through the trouble to make one. The two people above seemed to have hard bricked their phone, never questioning what happened and what part of what they did caused it.

ODIN is quite a safe and powerful tool once you know what you are doing, but no one seems to explain what each feature is and what it is used for. Samsung surely won't, we weren't even meant to know it exists, left alone use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KonstantinKeller:
In the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] vahdyx:
Well I foolishly started wiping everything in recovery a day after I upgraded to ICS. Now it won't boot. So I hope reloading GB will be okay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Celtic_Hart81:
Same here!

Downloading now. Does anyone know if Kies will re-update if you flash back to stock GB?
