Download mode will show a big green or yellow android on screen, it will say "downloading...please do not disconnect power..." or something along those lines...

Just got the reboot download button in the toolkit and you will see :)... then flash the recovery from there...

I finally figured it out. I didn't realize that you needed to unplug the phone before you can get to cwm. On my previous phones you had to replace the stock recovery, and couldn't have them on the phone at the same time.

Telus SGH-T989D

Is it normal that when I have to choose my phone the program is choosing the T-Mobile instead of the Telus SGH-T989D? The Telus is not even highlighted?

Modèle: SGH-T989D

Version: 4.0.3

Bande: T989DTLLE4

Kernel:3.0.0-perf-T989DTLLE4-CL579656se.infra@SEP-82 #1

PDA: T989DTLLE4

PHONE: T989DTLLE4

CSC: T989DTLLE4

FTA SW VERSION: T989D.001

If I choose the t-Mobile will it be the appropriate root?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
It will be ok to use the t989 root on a telus, users have tested it with good results

Installs by default into your program files. (I.e. c: program files/sgsII toolkit) inside that folder you will find the launcher icon for the program

This is how I managed to make it work. I connected the phone in recovery mode, which made Windows finally recognize the phone and start installing the drivers. Then, I booted to phone to android (make sure USB debugging is on) and voila! :)

I don't know if this has already been said, for noobies to roms and rooting, I would love to have a right-click info on side load apk and reboot download, as to the fact that I have no idea what these do.

I don't even know what a 'side load apk' is! I know I didn't need to use these buttons, but I would love to know what these do and how they help for this root kit.

Anyways, thank you so much for making the process of flashing a custom rom onto my phone a million times easier!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
Side load let's you select a downloaded .apk (android installer package) and my toolkit installs it via usb cable. Saves your data, great for installing games that your got from a friends rooted phone... :screwy:

Reboot download mode reboots your phone to the screen with the yellow android sign, for when you manually want to flash Odin packages (advanced users only)

Downloading and installing Tool box

I'm sorry if this is a completly stupid question....but how do I download the s2 toolbox and install it. I downloaded from the link you provided and extracted it, installed it...but when I open it nothing happens it appears to be empty. Am I doing something wrong? It has been awhile since Ive messed with this stuff. The last phone I rooted was a t-mobile wing. I would also like to donate to you as well, if this works for me. I am a t-moblie rep and this could help us both. Thanks in advance!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] salanos:
I'm trying to use this toolkit to root my international SII (the GT-i9100, it's supported, right?) but the app itself quite simply doesn't work.

After installation of the v2.4 kit, attempting to launch the program gave me the following error immediately:

Unable to access resource data.

Disk read error. File may be damaged.

I use Windows Vista 64 bit and I am fairly certain none of my hard disks are malfunctioning (I even tried installing on different partitions and hard disks), plus the installer curiously says that disk space required and available is 0kB regardless of where I select.

... and while trying again whilst writing this post, it works now, after I removed the (C) in the default directory. I'd like to post this as a bug report on the main thread but I can't as I'm a new account.

Edit: All the phone options are grayed out except the T989 and I727, followed by 'Samsung's Galaxy S II Other Model'. Which one am I supposed to use for the international GT-i9100?

samsung sIIx Koodo SGH-T989D please

Hello Sir..

I am totally new to rooting(but I believe am defiantly capable of catching up quickly as am a desktop app developer.. ), Saw a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-tqoCm50ik and came here. Your app looks really cool and makes rooting easier..

I bought a Koodo SIIx recently - it is still locked(but personlization shows all 4 locks as 'Off').

I have few Queries..

1.Whether rooting will unlock my phone..? If not should i first unlock from outside vendor and then root my phone.

2. The phone list -in screenshot of the app - doesn't show Koodo sII x. I found koodo files in the linkhttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1858435 - but not sure how to use it :( will you able to add feature to your app for rooting Koodo.

3. Hitting Flash Stock Rom - will it put back phone to original stage?(if any prob occurs)

my phone has Android 4.0.4 Baseband T989DTLLG2 and Kernel version is 3.0.8-perf-T989DTLLG2-CL836160 and Build number IMM76D.TLLG2

A GREAT THANKS IN ADVANCE for your help... :good:

Cheers, Looking fwd for your suggestions..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
The files for t989 might not work for this model, make sure you grab your own files... you can use the "other" folder under devices to organize them... dont use the t989 stock rom I have as its not tested on your phone. But if you right click the buttons they will give you help info. This video is ok, but he should have edited out his mistakes.

Good luck!

Shutting down issue

This was my first root, read through redflagdeals, and initially couldn't find the root.zip, so I redid the entire process and used the hard process (rather than touch), which worked, and phone was unlocked. I re-installed the koodo radio.zip for the S2x. I did a factory reset so I can get the google info setup, and then did the koodo radio.zip again.

I am having one problem now, every time I shut down the phone, the indicator lights at the bottom stay on and the phone does not shut down. I have to hold it and it eventually just restarts. If I turn the indicator lights off in the setting, they don't stay on when shutting down, but the phone itself doesn't fully shut down. Also, when trying to restart from the main screen, I get stuck in the loop in that it doesn't shut down. Did I do something wrong in the rooting process :(

I pulled the battery several times now, and did not install any new apps or anything.

Any help will be appreciated!

404 Error

I seem to be getting a 404 Not Found error when the program looks for AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll at the dillonpos.com website. I don't understand why this is happening when they're both already in the SGSII Toolkit folder. Sometimes it will pass the checking phases and I can select to install the Touch Recovery but when ODIN opens there is no device connected. It does go to ODIN mode on the phone though.

EDIT: I just ended up using the instructions here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Friko:
I seem to be having a problem with the ClockwordMod Recovery part. After the phone (T989D) reboots in recovery, the touch screen is super sensitive and not properly calibrated (I can't hit the right menu item). I tried using the Volume buttons, it would go Up or Down only once then stop responding, before refreshing the screen and put the selection back at the top.

Any ideas? I installed the 'Touch' version of recovery

404 file not found

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tlazarus:
Again, a late response to this thread, but I encountered most of the issues detailed above. Here is what eventually got it working:

1. Right click on the executable and on the compatibility tab, set the mode to Windows XP SP3. At the bottom of the tab, also check "Run As Administrator". I am running Windows 7 x64, but the window never appeared if I just launched the app without forcing both of these.

2. If the app worked once or twice but is now hanging at "waiting for device", browse to where you have installed adb.exe and run "adb.exe kill-server". If USB Debugging is enabled on your phone and the USB drivers are installed, but you still can't get past this, it may be that a stray adb server is still hanging out in the background. Mad Medik's suggestion probably achieves the same thing :)

Hope this helps. Love the app, makes working with the phone really easy.

I know for Facebook you can use an app called Friendcaster. I use it. It allows you to select various color schemes, at least one of which has a black background. I personally think it is better overall than the official Facebook app.

Not sure about the other apps though.

This is not meant to scare anyone.

This is meant as a warning and to educate people in the Rezound community.

Today I plugged my Tour Beats by Dre earbuds in and no sound came out. I troubleshooted it a little and came to the conclusion that my headphone jack broke. I was bummed out and called Verizon. I pay for insurance so I ordered a replacement.

My set up: I am S-off and running a custom ROM.

After a couple of minutes I noticed my Media Volume was all the way down for some reason and it wasnt broken. I called back Verizon to cancel my order. The Verizon rep informed me that the order wasnt even going to go out because a Fraud Hold was placed on my phone.

Obviously I was going to return the phone to S-on and run the Gingerbread RUU before I sent it back.

This got me thinking. There are several rumors about how deeply Verizon checks phones and/or a certain database of phones that are on a "root" list. Please be careful when returning a phone. The rep told me that there were no signs of why they put the Fraud Hold on the phone.

As a part of the community I felt the need to inform you of my experience to better educate the community. Please do not be scared, just be careful. There are several confirmed sories in threads where people have sent back phones after returning to S-on.

Can anyone please share their experience so that we, as a community, can be better prepared for what to expect?

Thank you.
