Twrp 2.4.4

Nandroid (optional)

Factory reset

Wipe system

Wipe dalvik

Wipe cache

Flash rom

Wipe dalvik/cache

Reboot

I think people are having trouble because theyre not wiping dalvik/cache after flashing rom.

I did that, so not my case. The problem is other at least for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
I wont post a mirror without OPs consent. But have you tried redownloading a new copy..could just be a bad dl
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juancubo:
I did. I download it from the 2 sites both MD5 were correct. Currently the phone is in JMTX3 with Jb radio and connection is super fast
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Guys you need to wait for the boot!!!! It takes forever but eventually it will!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Go for it man. If it helps narror down people's issue then I am all for it! Thanks

Where can I download just the Battery Calibration Script?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] juancubo:
Just to clarify. There are two different situations:

1. It gets stuck at T-Mobile boot screen just before the 100% and won't advance.

2. It does boot (it takes forever but in the Samsung boot animation. But in my case the baseband is shown as unknown and no signal. WiFi works but the phone and acore processes FC. Cause is not my phone and is my wife daily driver I had to restore backup and the previous Rom does shows the new radio in the baseband information. So for some reason, every flash give you different results (like when you have a bad download) or the recovery is not compatible. The only thing I would like to try (or others with problems can try and let us know) is formating internal and sdcard is recovery. But I couldn't because of lack of time.

I have had both situations, I and also try both version of recoveries 2.2.2 and 2.4.4.

My guess is that probably we have to flash radio using ODIN and then the Rom, or from the ROM side something is not clicking correctly.

I will try again this night as soon I can get the phone again.

Jamison is it possible to get a slim version without any bloat just the barebones with your tweaks and mods?

Is this ROM noticeably faster than stock? I'm guessing it is.

Edit: yea, guess it was a stupid question. The other infamous ROMs have been crazy fast....

ok guys... i had Odin to stock 4.1.2 then when Jamison came with this ROM i rooted again and installed this....and have no problem at all... i use twrp... n wipe cache/dalvik after rom installs. that's all. not a single issue so far.... had to debloat a lil by myself that's all... n no patch used i like completely stock but ripple effect as addon would be perfect for me...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ashkan78:
agree first stock than root and finally custom rom this is the best method :good:

anyone tried to flash the infamous font zip with 4.1.2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FarReach:
Vibration seems ridiculously low on my end, is this normal?? The 4.2.2 Rom I was running before this one didn't seem to have this problem but I don't know if this is the usual with TW Roms or not :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
Works fine on stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Under settings / sounds there should be a toggle for vibration. Adjust it to full as it is only 75% out of the box.

almost everything works great except for data, I'm assuming T-Mobile is blocking Telus users somehow as I can use wifi and make calls and text but am not able to use any kind of data even though it's showing it connected.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
I unlocked the APN's for you guys. Have you tried to change them to your settings?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] droidz79:
Yes I entered in all my Telus APN settings, it shows likes it's connecting to the network I can see activity in the status bar icon in 4G but just says access denied when in any browser or no connection in play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stanguay:
I am on Telus and my data work well, I am on the new T989UVMC6 radio.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qu3becker:
I don't have this issue, I'm on Koodo with the t989D. I flashed the lastest T-Mobile radio. Wifi Calling is on by default and it needs a T-Mobile SIM card. It shows an error on the notification screen because of that. I haven't change the APN and everything works right.

I just can't live without the hold-home menu fonction.

For some reason, I had the force close acore and phone on the deodexed and rooted rom. Must be a similar thing with the Tmo touchwiz 4.1.2 roms. I flashed Infamous and it worked correctly. Can't say I did anything different.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
OK so I assume after flashing v1.1 you guys don't have advanced power menu. I'll try and fix it tonight. Everything is there. Just might of used the wrong code. (A lot of things are the same here as my S3 ROM, but it seems a few are not. No biggie. Easy fix.) Also those who Dont like the home/menu kill, just pull the android.policy.jar from v1.0 and move to system/framework and reboot. :cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] koudies:
Nice to see u back here Jamison. Im still on stock and gonna run it for a few days but damn im itching to flash this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SaDAnGeL007:
Hi Jamison...

This is what I did...

1. Flashed TWRP

2. Wipe Data / Factory Reset

3. Flashed Radio UVMC6

4. Flashed Infamous ROM

5. Wipe cache / Dalvick

6. Reboot

Rom booted and run as it should be

BUT NO TETHERING

Flashed Patch v1.1

Battery changed

but NO REBOOT MENU

AND STILL NO TETHERING

Flashed Patch v1.2

NOTHING CHANGED

THE QUESTION IS... Am I missing something???

Thanx for the hard work and the great rom..;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qu3becker:
Yes. You missed the fact that the 1.2 patch doesn't work. I haven't checked the Tethering on my side, yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Koodo/ Telus Network

This question is for the guys to the north. are you experiencing and signal or data drops using the new T-Mobile radio on the Telus or Koodo Network with this rom?

I got this rom to boot last night (thanks Jamison) but had no signal tried apn but nothing. never go the chance to flash the radio had to restore and go to bed.

Thanks guys
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skinsfanbdh:
No tethering for me either. Here is a screenshot of the error.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
just a heads up, as soon as you replace the android.policy.jar the phone reboots on it's own. you need to change permissions to rw-r-r before moving it to system/framework or else once your phone reboots you wont be able to use it. everything force closes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
Can someone download this widget and place it on your desktop. Turn it on and see if it allows you to connect. This was part of our work around until I added in the toggles mod... which should be ready for you guys sometime tonight.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qu3becker:
Same for me and tethering doesn't share the traffic but it connects. I had the same issue with the Skyrocket leak. Could be the same issue. I'll try to provide a log soon. Can't do for now. I'm using the Power Toggles widget to activate the hotspot. I'll check Jamison's widget, though. Edit: It does the same thing as Power Toggles.

Here's my catlog if it helps.

I was part of a bunch of user not being able to tether correctly on the skyrocket leak/rogers rom. Might have been something to do with the APN though but I can't figure it out since everything in that is fine.

So it might work for everyone else.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jonjon68:
Thought this leak had fixed my Wifi/Data disconnect/Reconnect issue that every other ICS Mod had. Nope. Same ole. Disappointing. it does seem to be better on this one that the others if there are lurkers on these threads that like me cannot keep a static/stable wifi or phone connection when WiFi is enabled.

For me there is only one workable solution for stability with my Wifi and by proxy Wifi calling, which is critical for my coverage area and that's going back to GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evil Avnovice:
1. Thank you for the Wallpaper Wizardrii recommendation. Works like a charm! :)

2. Though you brought it up, I'd like to mention that I haven't installed Beats since flashing Infamous. I've been using PowerAMP by itself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yamahakid:
got a bootloop when i tried to flash the first time. i came right from the stock gingerbread. wiped data/caches, etc... then flashed. what did i do wrong?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
pull up recovery and wipe and try again. Also could be a bad download. Side note... this phone does not like aroma installer. My buddy eugene373 had issues with it and now I freaking bricked the wife's phone...dog house for me. No download no recovery. I did find the line that did it though. Err... Going to rewrite the update script. Anyone willing to test? Removed all possible bricking lines. Let me know.

Here is the changes for those who might be brave enough to try. Also in Aroma installer the next button does not work. If you press the home button it will move one.

Also, stupid question: Is there any way to turn off "Background Data", if there is an option? I was surprised to find out that Yahoo! Mail and Google Play were still up, and this was after turning off "Auto Sync".

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evil Avnovice:
Sadly, I ended up having to flash back to another custom rom. :(

What pushed my decision was:

1. App incompatibilities. Some are pretty integral to my daily needs.

2. My phone would overheat all of a sudden, and then cool down. Don't know why exactly, as the only thing I could think of was that I would use SetCPU to change governors and tweak the frequencies a bit.

Regardless, I'll still wait for the next update, as I found a real sense of power in wielding a custom Ice Cream Sandwich rom.

Love the ROM, the only thing that annoys the crap out of me is the 10 billion flipfonts installed that I know nothing about.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
I have removed them in the next update. Going to make a flashable zip for those who might want them. Go to settings/screen or display(can't remember) then you click on font. The list of fonts are there. Just click on the one you like and the system font will change.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
OK good to go. I already know the next step so hang in there guys. Just have to heavily modify the frameworks to remove the symlink to the darn tethering provision.apk. Until I can do this can someone do a test for me? Make sure you have you password and the name setup. Then using Root explorer or equivalent and go to system/apps and delete the tetheringprovision.apk. Reboot and try the widget again. Thanks!

Also I forgot to tell you guys you have to add an APN to get it to work. Sorry...lol. It has been a while since I removed it from the S3 so little rusty. Hold on and I'll get the info

Great, I messed around with the APNs after deleting the tetherprovision.apk file. It works now. I guess it needs better default APN settings for Koodo.

So far so good. Thanks. Definitely will be my DD for now. Can't wait for the next update, though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jamison904:
First off Chrome will not work. It will deny every time unless you download an extension and change from desktop to Linux. More on that later.

[Disclosure] This is for informational purposes only! [/disclosure]

First go to system/app and delete tetheringpervision.apk then reboot.

Now you need to add an APN. Name it Tethering and then APN needs to be: epc.tmobile.com

Now reboot and then click tether widget...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
The OP says first boot will take forever. My phone is stuck on the boot logo for something like 10 minutes now. My phone is warm to the touch.

How long was "forever" for you? Is this delay normal? It seems a bit excessive.

REPHRASE: When should I get worried about a bad flash?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
Took a long time for me also. It hung at the loading bar at around 99% for me :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
I ended up rebooting recovery wiped caches and data and then it fully booted for me and you don't need to pull the battery, hold up, down and power button, then when you feel a vibrate let go of power button only and it should boot to recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
Did you ever get it to boot? This has happened to me several times. Each time I flashed I did a full wipe so I was pretty sure my processes were correct. It would boot up fairly quick on the initial boots but after I rebooted two or three times it would get stuck at the loading screen like you described. I waited for what I thought was a reasonable amount of time but I was never able to get it to boot up. I would start from scratch and reflash. This has happened atleast three times. I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. So back to my original question. Did you ever get it to boot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kangelov:
*Doh* Latest TWRP is the culprit. I installed it because the OP said so, but that proved a mistake: I had the exact same problem even just flashing stock and if that one doesn't work...

I then flashed CWRP (my normal recovery), reformatted again, flashed Infamous, rebooted... and it passed the boot screen. Now the waiting "forever" on the first boot has truly begin.

EDIT: Forever ended up being roughly 5 minutes. Now waiting the 10 minutes after forever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
Each time I flashed I have been successful in getting it to boot up completely. It's just after I've rebooted a few times when it hangs on the screen with the meter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skinsfanbdh:
it works with twrp thats what i used just have reboot recovery wipe caches then boot
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] buru898:
Even on twrp, when it gets stuck at the initial loading bar, I would just pull the battery and try again until it passed it.

But I would also get the force closes and unknown baseband and no signal, so maybe clockwork is the answer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skinsfanbdh:
never got that. runs smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] buru898:

Edit: Nevermind, I didn't read the flow of the conversation correctly... lol.

I had tried installing this last night with TWRP 2.4.2.0, and it booted fine but I got the reported acore FC's. So I recovered my ROM and am awaiting a more solid release. I imagine Jamison and ptmr will have working releases out by the end of the day, and then the real fun will begin :)

both of their releases are already working
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Gamesoul Master:

Just had noticed in both threads (skimming) that some people were having issues on the latest releases. Of course, some of it may be user error, but I almost never have to worry about that :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Evil Avnovice:
Real late as I flashed earlier this morning. I saw that the instructions were there, as I didn't see them last night. Even without them, I flashed as such:

*Wipe data/factory reset

*Wipe dalvik cache

*Wipe cache partition

*Flash rom

*Wipe dalvik cache

*Wipe cache partition

*Reboot

It took a couple of minutes until I was taken to the setup wizard, where I let it settle for 10-20 minutes, rebooted, then let it sit for another 10-20 minutes.

From there, the phone was incredibly laggy. Even after shutting off the animations and switching to a 3rd party launcher, it helped a bit, but was still laggy. I could use wi-fi, but the phone would not recognize my SIM card. Turned it off, removed/inserted it, no dice.

The two things that stopped me in my tracks were the absence of gmail and google play, so I rebooted into recovery and reflashed Infamous 3.1.

To note, I used Rom Manager with the latest clockwork recovery installed before attempting this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skinsfanbdh:
all issues i know about have been fixed for me at least

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] qu3becker:
You might want to try the lastest TWRP. They've just released 2.5.0.0.

Like I said, I had problem with acore and phone annoyingly force closing all the time on the first deodexed and rooted release someone made but not this one. It happened before on TW 4.0.4 that I couldn't flash a rom at all, it did the same thing again and again. I flashed AOSP for a while and flashed the same TW rom and it worked. You could try that. You could try to odin back to stock 4.0.4 or maybe 4.1.2 and flash this rom again.
