Sorry, i am not following your comment... I am using a tmobile phone and i can get the stock firmware to flash, but i get the problem i described.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Try the site I offered... its to a t perfect for T-Mobile stock. No root. If you want to root there's a tut on the same site
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] averagedawg:
Daprapstar - i think some of these messages are getting mixed in with mine and crows... So, bear with me while i confirm a few things...

1. I have a tmobile phone that is bricked - the rom i try to used was on the first page of this thread.

2. You gave me a link to a forum where there are stock AT&T Kernel, System, and Recovery. Download .rar here (http://m-s-j.net/dagnarf/pda-odin-att-stock.rar)

Can I assume this is the right file for me to try with my Tmobile Samsung Galaxy SGH T989?

Also, when running Odin i get the following messages. it seems as if my phone is totally screwed. I can't put any rom on the phone at this point. When i plug in the phone, i get the following errors and on the ID:COM it is yellow and says [0:COM4]

Then, i get the following message

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

@averagedawg, DO NOT USE THAT. Go to galaxys2root. And look for the tab on top right. It will say T-Mobile galaxy s2. Open that. There will be reviews for the ROMs xda has. But there are 2 tutorials on how to restore to stock and how to gain root again. I do this often

( every 2weeks ) due to how much I flash. Like cleaning out my phone once in a while. Kinda get the bugs out of it and start freshly flashing.

@at the telus fella, the site I offered was the first thing that popped up when I googled " telus stock firmware". You can't do the same and choose a different site that you feel more comfortable.

@ both you guys, sorry for the confusion. My fault, should have made myself more clearer. Anyhooo, good luck and this is very important that you read.... I assume no responsibility for anything that happens to your device. I'm not a telus owner but the T-Mobile stock firmware is a must for me and haven't had an issue using it.

@ the op, sorry about hijacking your thread. I'll carry on now

Edit: in the event that you have any issues feel free to pm me that way we don't clog this thread

Permabricked my t929

My t929 also permabricked. Whoever packaged the ODIN file should have omitted the .pit since its not for a T929

If you flash a .pit to your phone and its not your phones specific .pit file, it will brick the phone. While the instructions dont call for use of the .pit its very common and actually safer to use the .pit file when flashing with odin. of course assuming you have the correct one. This is common practive when using other Galaxy devices. I have used ODIN with the Galaxy 1 on Verizon, Galaxy s2 on Sprint and T-mobile. This unfortunately is my first permabrick. Its just a blacklisted device my kids use so better that then a legit device but oh well just wanted to point it out.

Maybe repackage the ODIN minus the .pit file or change the OP and add (DONT USE .PIT file) in the instructions.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Correct me if I'm wrong but this is for the t989 device. All other will not work. The site I posted as well specifies exact model requirements for it to work. On your post you state using this with a completely different model number. That being the case it will def brick your device due to its intended use is for t989. Sorry if you misunderstood the above steps.

I need some help here. I rooted the stock rom on my wifes s2 and i tried flashing a cm10 rom through cwm right off the bat and i was getting boot loops and i have tried flashing about 10 roms with nothing but boot loops. I also tried this giude but when i try to open the stock zip it prompts me for password and i entered sampro.pl and it loads almost all the way then i get an error saying password invalid. I even copied and pasted the password still same thing. Needless to say she is pissed, anyone have any suggestions? At this point ANY help would be appreciated.

im having some problems, before trying this i was trying to update my phone with kies, when the phone booted rom the update, the screen stayed black on ly the notification bar was notice, and now im trying to restore with odin and when i hit start, odin say "Can't open the serial(COM) port." any help please?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Pls give steps taken while you tried to unroot. I have never encountered any issues while using the site in reference. http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/ Did you use this to unroot? Do you have Kies opened? If you use the site offered it will set you back to stock 4.0.3 base... In the event that site is not of your liking you can use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30833306&postcount=7 and utilize this method This will install 4.0.4 on your device.Its takes a while for the process to complete. Dont fear and be patient. It will load up without any issues.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 AM ----------

Imho your best bet would be to either a) get a jig or b) contact this guys here. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ Their prices are reasonable and beats paying for a new phone. Could be the usb connect port that is damaged. But as you stated that you cant get into recovery my last try to do this would be like this and try to enter factory recovery:

a) pull battery out

b) turn phone upside down and hold power plus vol+ and vol- at the same time using same hand. ( your thumb will sit on power button if you use left hand)

c) replace battery and simultaneously plug in your usb.

d) open odin and only on pda insert your tar file for 4.0.4.

e) you device with get a download screen, press up to comfirm download mode.

f) press start on odin and DONT touch it. it will reboot by itself

g) once device reboots you still have to make factory reset

copy the steps here http://www.androidauthority.com/galaxy-s2-t989-android-4-0-ics-uvle1-update-97763/ as well. do NOT use kies. Only new Odin 1.85. That's in case you can manage to pull recovery if not then my suggestion b on first paragraph would be your best choice. Good luck

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

You was rooted and running a custom ROM on your device and then tried to update using Kies? Am I correct on what you said? If so, you might have corrupted your firmware. Please read that in the event that I'm understanding you correctly, Kies only supports official firmware. Only suggestion I can give is to try and get into recovery and reflash you nandroid. If you want stock firmware you will have to Odin back to stock but you will be able to use 4.0.4 now that its official. If you want official fw why not use this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858435. It will give you the same exact thing but with root privileges. Sorry I cant help more but Im not experienced on your devices issues as I've never encountered it

Put my phone on DL mode plugged usb cable. Download the file tar . Click pda and load the file click start. It just doesn't load idk why. Stuck at boot.img status .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Does it show fail on Odin? It takes a few mins for it to fully process.. once it loads just factory reset from within the phone.

In the event it don't boot up. Just redo the process. DO NOT touch it until it fully reboots. Takes about 8 mins. Don't panic. Its normal. All the bloat and fat has to resettle once again... hope this helps

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
No prob now get rerooted and flash anything you want. Remember that you will need the new 4.0.4 that's why I recommended beast made. Its as stock as possible on the new radio. Although radios are good depending where you live.

I have the faulty power button issue, so flashing back to stock. I got everything to work via Odin but I'm getting FC's at the welcome screen...andriod.process.acore and google services.

I tried to wipe cache and dalvic but when in recovery the volume rockers work fine, but the power button will not allow me to select!

Any ideas??

I mean I am back to stock and could just play dumb at the store and tell them I tried a factory reset to fix the problem?? Anybody? I've got until Oct 25th on my warranty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
Escrow... my best advice its get a replacement.. being its a hardware issue. There shouldn't be any warranty problems. And being that your in stock already it would be less painful in any event you power button fully fails
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] escrowdog:
Thanks, I agree. I just got back from the Tmo store and they have a new one being overnighted. Not sure if I'm out of the woods yet or not as far as cost? It was $20 overnight fee and I have to return the phone via their box, etc. I was able to flash back stock with a PASS, just getting the fc's on the welcome screen. Told csr I had been having issues and decided to factory reset as a last ditch effort and that the power button had been acting up. No questions.

On a side note I just dug my sons Vibrant out of the drawer...and after a 15 min search for the stupid power cord...I'm up and running bar phone style!! :p Yep....it's just as sucky as you remember!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
That's as far it will go.. 20$ and your clear. On my past experience I bought my s2 thru a local website and was water damaged. I had a lumia 710 :thumbdown:. They charged me 150$ on my bill due to water damage. It had a custom from installed in it to. "Paradox" if I'm not mistaken. But nothing was said about it being rooted.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Ok Thanks! I just want to make sure, before I do anything...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Homeuser66:
Good to know!

Do you know which ROM had the WiFi update in it? This one is a Necessity for me to use...I have both, the T989-UVKID and the T989-UVLDE. I think the UVLDE had it, or was it in another one, or was it separate all together? I mean the WiFi enabled calling patch that came out shortly after the phone came out..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] datrapstar:
All 4.0.4 versions have it if your referring to WiFi calling. Not implemented into jb yet due to lack of source.

Edit. Modems or radios are based on your location. They don't affect the ROM itself but can hinder your reception

Ok all this is what I just found over at another site... Since info on ROMS seems to be in short supply here.... I will offer this.... To my knowledge, this is the most current rom for the RAZR and/or Razor Maxx using ICS....from DroidTh3ory

Razr Operating Roms in order have been; RazrX, then RazrXv1.2, then Eclipse, then Ic3, then Axiom, and now this...wow...all of a sudden that report about ICS in research stage doesn't matter so much, I'm sure the camera will be available within the next month, and being that I use safestrap, a 5 minute swap to the stock rom with working camera for now is easy...amazed at the work everyone does, and feeling better than ever about choosing the Razr over the ReZound and GNex.

MOD Edit: Lets wait for original developers permission to share his work ok?

Btw good news
[Motorola Droid RAZR] orateam:
We really need to get past this point of bickering over posting sites. In the years i've been at XDA, this last year has been horrendous for this kind of stuff. Never in the past has this happened before. People freely posted links to anywhere where we could find a ROM or solution. Now there is unnecessary politics involved at every corner. XDA has no reason to be threatened by any razr site. Even if we all start using alternate razr sites, it will mean nothing to XDA. They are a huge site supporting hundreds of phones. I don't think the site cares if we users are getting information from another site.

Also, the fact that alternate sites have popped up is because of a dis-service from this site. XDA used to be a one stop shop for all versions of solutions and ROMS. Now i look here and see so little for the CMDA (USA Verizon) that i have to wonder what happened. this never used to happen. Were developers like DroidTheory insulted? Is there a benefit to choosing another site? I for one love both sites. But i'm sick of the animosity.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] orateam:
really? one guy posts a link to a very nice file and in the very next thread is a response that says he hopes the poster had permission to post the file here.

That's just not what i used to see here. oh well, it is what it is. It's the new rules, and perhaps I'm just a nostalgic person.

Well in the same reference, since i'm not comfortable with the rules, i'll just mention that i noticed on that same site that the KANG version of ICS 4.03 was just posted.

Downloading it now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joeyx2:
I try to go to every site and sign up for them all. Some things u can find on one site that u can't on another or may be better explained on one site then the other but if its a problem posting something on this site that's not already up here then I may abandoned this site. I guess I kinda abandoned it anyways do to the lack of cdma (USA Verizon) Roms and support. I have even discovered new sites that I didn't know of by people posting stuff from other sites but that don't mean I will never come back to check things out. Hell i was even told that a dev was gonna post his work on another site but keep coming back to here first to check for updates. In the famous words "can't we all just get along."
[Motorola Droid RAZR] D.O.C:
Ok, I am all in favor of sharing. But rules are rules.

Not all developers think alike, and not all of them like their work being shared without their explicit permissions. Besides, there is no real actual development by just sharing. So THREAD MOVED.

Either way, you do have to respect

Mandatory Thread Title Requirements For Development Section

THREAD CLOSED until the OP gets explicit permission from the original author to share his work here at XDA. When you get that, and the Dev is willing to share and support his work here, I will gladly reopen the thread.

Please understand that sharing what is not yours, is not fair for the original developer, that is why the rule exists, not for any other reason, as I said, I am in favor of sharing, but we do have to respect original developers wishes.

Hi,

My forum pal found this page which is an official Motorola direct page in Indonesia.

Motorola Software Update Page

There is a software update saying Motorola Defy MB525 (Android 2.3.4)

What is it?

(Defy plus model number is MB526 isn't it?)

Could it be an official update to GB 2.3.4 for our Defys?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cforlife:
Has anyone noticed that the phone runs slower in landscape mode. I'm not taking about rotation which works fine with a custom ROM, but it seems like the phone is twice as slow when rendering and input lag.

Open WhatsApp or maps(really any app) and look at the frame rate and how laggy the input is when scrolling. Then go to landscape mode and and do the same thing; it's way slower. I've noticed with every version and ROM that I've installed. I've searched around and found nothing about this so I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. It seems like an ICS issue that google will need to fix because there should be no different between the two modes.

I think this is the same problem with the keyboard being a little slower in landscape.

I have noticed a small hinderance of performance in landscape mode, but not across the board nor in every app. Google Music works perfectly for me in landscape mode. I am running GummyNex with Imo's kernel so maybe it got tuned differently.

[Droid X General] Kasper DG:
I have a Droid X. Rooted it with Doomlord's One Click Zerg Rush. Rooted fine. Later used Rom Toolbox to change some of the status bar icons, (battery, wifi, 3g, etc) and changed the boot logo and boot animation. Now the earpiece no longer works. Can't hear anything unless I turn on speaker phone.

I used the exact same method to root my Xperia Play r800x, and same Rom Toolbox to change icons and boot animation as well but never had an issue with the play.

Any ideas/suggestions?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Restore a previous nandroid backup.

If that does nothing then SBF to .340 and take the OTA to Gingerbread and root via Pete's Motorola Root Tools.
[Droid X General] Kasper DG:
Well it just randomly started working again. Yesterday I had restored the boot animation and logo and restored all icons, but it was still doing it. Then today it just started working again. Any possibilities that it was because of the boot logo? I ask because like I said earlier I changed the boot animation and icons on my Play with no issues.

Also, how do I unlocked the bootloader so that I can make a nandroid backup? I don't think it is unlocked.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I really think it might be a hardware related issue.

You are 100% correct when you say you're bootloader is locked. The Droid X's bootloader is not unlockable.

To install ClockworkMod Recovery you must use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper application. It can be downloaded from the Market or found "elsewhere" on the internet.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
[Droid X General] Kasper DG:
I'll try the bootstrapper before changing things again. Thanks for the helpful info :-)
