Have you added a way to return to stock recovery? If this is done when flashing to stock, my bad
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
Yes this is done when flashing to stock.

I don't think that flashing to stock recovery by itself is something I am going to include, because someone somewhere will flash it when they have an ICS Rom on there device and then blame me lol.:eek:

Plus I didn't see any flashable ones, but I didn't look for it either...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scarinzi:
I tried going to stock several times and it puts phone in download mode and then pops up error saying

Cannot create file "C:\Users\Desktop\SGSllToolkit\ROM\STOCK\T989UVKL1_HOME_SGH-T989user_CL799405_REV00.tar/md5". The system cannot find the path specified.

Any ideas?

Yeah that was my fault, the recoveries will be in the root folder of the program. I am in the process of changing the folder structure of the program so I can better support the rest of the sgs ii family, I am going to have a fix up today for it.

Stuck on Waiting for Device

Windows 7 x64 Bit. After installing Kies and allowing the program to run it's self installation, it is stuck at "waiting for device". I have unplugged it, replugged it. Restarted the computer. Set to Debug on phone and tried again. Still nothing. Tried to check through the forums and came up short. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
do you have USB debugging turned on? Also I noticed that sometimes when I go to plug in my sgs ii to my computer it charges, but windows doesn't make the connection sound, so I have to reboot the phone... Try this and let me know.

AJ - thanks, in my case i had to pull the battery from the phone restarted the computer (just in case) then assured usb debug was on, updated usb drivers before i launched the program. Then lauched. That did the trick. Sorry for the delay in the response and thanks for making it so simply.

I keep getting the error "Can not delete temp folder" when I try to flash a custom ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
Yeah I discovered that in some computers, it's not important, what happens is before the rom is copied over to the phone out is copied to the folder named temp and remained ROM.zip, it's supposed to be deleted so you don't have waisted space... Won't effect the way the toolkit performs, will be fixed on the skyrocket release update.

Need some help

I am having issues, I have a sg s2 skyrocket on att and when

I try to flash clockword mod but when I select PDA and try to find devices\i727\recoveries

Nothing shows on my computer

The weird thing is that tool kit says current recovery : cwm installed and current on: Stock

So I tried clicking on root phone and try to run super user and it fails to install

Anyone have an idea what am I doing wrong ?:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mondizze:
Figured it out notice in another post that it notice it only downloads for the t-mobile

still I good idea and app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
Sounds like the files didn't download correctly, if it happens again just go into your i727 folder, and delete the devices.tk file, then relaunch the toolkit and it will redownload the files for that phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
[Problem Solved]

With explorer go into the program folder, and find the I727 folder under devices.

Inside you will see a file called device.tk. Delete that File and then restart the toolkit. That will tell the toolkit to re-download the files for that phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] olyvaha:
i plugged in my phone hit stock update it said it needed to download the rom since it wasnt available locally and it took awhile to download once it was it was it said i had 2 available roms, neither for the t989. i think what would be better would be click the stock button and allow the user to select what rom is downloaded that way i dont waste my time and bandwidth downloading 2 useless roms (i have comcast and am limited to 250gb a month)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
You were in the wrong toolkit, the i727 downloads the 2 roms....

If you go to options, and change device, switch to the t989 and it will download the right rom for you, as far and your bandwidth, I had Comcast in Indiana, they never offered anything but unlimited packages with different speeds.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
My toolkit works with all roms, the only way that will change is if google give adb an overhaul... you will still have to use the "all other phone" toolkit and provide your own files till I get the i9100 added...

ICS root

The instructions say "You need to delete the T989 folder to use the ICS Root Update"

Does this mean before I install the tool if I already was using it? Or does this mean after I download and install the tool?

If it is after I do not see how it could root or install CW as those are all in the T989 folder.

Thanks!

PS, I've used it on another computer to root before the ICS update came out. Worked great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PrjmeTjme:
I was wondering the same thing...

I deleted the t989 folder first, then installed the new one and the t989 folder came back lol. So now i'm wondering...do I delete this one as well??

Does the rooting option increment the ODIN Counter?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markmanjd:
Makes me think that this needs to be done so the tool will fetch the new stuff. If it only looks for a filename when it installs it may not get the updated cwm or root file.

Has anyone rooted the ICS phone with this?

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markmanjd:
It works

OK,

I tried it.

This was a fresh install so I did not delete the folder.

When I said to install clockwork it loaded odin but didn't find the file. Could be because I changed the name of the install directory. So i manually put the recovery file in the PDA part of ODIN. And pressed start it worked.

Then I pressed root, it loaded root.zip and booted into recovery. I thought I installed hard not touch so it took me a while to figure out that it was touch recovery. I selected the install zip, from internal sd, found root and it worked on the second try. had an error the first time.

It is all good, rooted and loving it.

Thank !you

i def wasn't in the wrong toolkit, I clicked on the t989 toolkit and thats what it said at the top of the screen. and you "had" Comcast...now they limit you to 250gb a month unless you're a business then you get unlimited but at a cost
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
If you need a step by step guide to root the new Kies Update to ICS we just got, read this. I am on that update, and I have root access using this exact way.

Here ya go.

After you download and install the toolkit, you will need to connect your phone.. Then open the program. It's default path is C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit. After you connect your phone and run the program, click T989 as your device, and it will download the necessary files to your computer in order to do everything.

After this, you will come to the main screen. Exit the program, go to the C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit and select the new folder called 'Devices'. DELETE the T989 file that is in there, then reopen the Toolkit again. It will then download everything needed for the root.

After you are to the main screen, click on 'Flash Clockwork Mod HARD/TOUCH Recovery. I recommend the HARD recovery, as it is compatible with most roms.

It will then open Odin and your phone will go into download mode. Click on PDA, then go to the C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit directory again, click on devices, then T989, then Recoveries. Select the 'Hard' one.

Your phone will then reboot. You are not quite rooted yet.

When it is rebooted, connect your phone to USB storage, and open your External SD Card, and copy the root.zip to it. This is located in C:\Program Files\SGSII Toolkit\Devices\T989.

After that is copied, reboot the phone by holding down the power, VOLUP and VOLDOWN side buttons. Hold them all at the same time. Hold them until the phone reboots, and you go into ClockworkModRecovery.

When you are in there, use the Volume Down button to scroll to 'Install zip from sdcard', and click on the root.zip that you copied earlier. It will ask you if you are sure you want to do this, click yes. It will then install SuperUser to the system. After that is complete, click 'Reboot System Now'.

Your phone will reboot, and congratulations, you are rooted!

Just trying to help, as I had troubles at the beginning.

Good day all!

Just wanted to clarify that this processes only needs to me done if you already have the toolkit, if its the first time you installed it than the new files will be there already.

Also just hit the root button, it copies the root.zip for you and reboots you into recovey.

When you do click the root, I noticed it put it in the internal emmc directory instead of the external SD where I flash everything, thats the only reason I manually copied it over to the sd card. :D

Thank you for the program though!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ajster1989:
True, the reason I did that is because some roms mount there external sd cards differently, so it takes the guessing out of it.
