Riveting tale!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] flashfox:
Neophyte question:

Correct me if I am wrong, but can I apply this update to a ROOTED but stock ROM?

I know that it will not get pushed as my phone is rooted but I am pretty certain that I can get it via KIES (I went almost all the way and stopped just before I told KIES to do the update... better safe than sorry ;-)

I assume that I will lose root... which is fine as I want the stock ICS once released.

My concern was that I (might) need to UNROOT before applying the current update from T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ToledoG28:
Its not a kernel...it is baseband (Also changes your lock screen..ect.)Take a look...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
No im tlking about the kernel not the modem i wanted a flashable of the kernel thats in LDE just the kernel so i can use it on other gb roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Atmazzz:
Yes. You will lose root and then just root again the same way as usual.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ToledoG28:
Ohh..ok. I understand. Sorry i was thinking this was the same kernel....battery life seems to be better...i need a few days to see how it goes. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] floot_roops:
Trying to see if I understand this, so please forgive my lack of knowledge and let me know if I'm on track. (just trying to learn)

Using the tar file posted at the beginning of the thread via Odin will net the same result as reverting your phone to stock (if not already) and going through the t-mobile OTA update or via KIES, right? Either route would put you at stock, UNROOTED gingerbread with the latest t-mobile update, so you would have to re-root.

The ROM posted by Whitehawkx on Rootzwiki is a rooted, debloated version of gingerbread WITH the update. However, flashing it would NOT give you the updated modem, right?

I'm using Juggernaut 5 with Faux kernel 10m (undervolted, though) (and still using the UVKID modem).

Hypothetically, I could

1) revert to stock and follow the OTA path (or with Kies) and then re-root, then remove/freeze bloat

2) use Odin to flash the tar file from my current state, then re-root, then remove/freeze bloat

3) flash Whitehawkx's ROM right now in CWM and then be stock, rooted, and debloated but NOT have the UVLDE modem, but otherwise everything else is updated (and I could potentially flash the UVLDE modem in Odin if it was made available)

Not sure if I want to do this, but just curious to see if I understand the various components here. Would anyone be kind enough to let me know if I have things straight?

Secondly, if you Odin to the new update (and thereby have the new baseband) and then rooted and went back to a custom ROM, you'd have the new baseband but lose all other aspects of the patch, right?

I'm not even sure if there are any benefits to be had with this update for me, but I've considered going back to stock just to remind myself what it's like and to see if I miss the custom ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
You pretty much hit everything on the spot man.

What I did is I flashed whitehawkx version and then I flashed the modem which is in the dev section.

No need to Odin anything.

If you want to go back to your previous modem just download and flash the one you prefer.

All the modems are in the dev section, if you can't find them let me know.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 01010001:
What I'm wondering though is if Whitehawkx's ROM includes things like the

Qualcomm chipset update

? I know it doesn't include the modem update, but that can be flashed separately so it's really not a problem. What I'm concerned about is whether his ROM includes all the updates this new version is supposed to bring.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
His rom IS the update, minus the modem and in CWM flashable form, with a few minor modifications.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Yes, it does. Minus the modem, which is in the dev section
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jester450:
I know ill lose root if I update via kies but will the phone be wiped too?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jester450:
Nice. Updated via Kies. Lost root but still have everything :) Didn't wipe anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SpydaPig:
I'm currently stock unrooted right now and still have not gotten this update. I just tried to update it via Kies but I keep getting a pop up message saying "crypt error". Can anyone tell me what this means? And also has anyone been able to get the Ota and not on Kies?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Charlie Brown:
Yup

*I did and all is fine ....so far lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
I'm still on this latest update, completely stock unrooted. The first week or 2 it ran great, but now it has some crazy lag opening and closing apps. Every once in a while when I go to open an app, it will freeze for a while then show my wallpaper for a few seconds. Anyone else having problems with it? I'm probably just going to root and flash TDJs ICS rom again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dimples848:
I got the alert this morning from T-Mobile. Excited and thinking it was ICS, I figured I'd just deal with it if anything went wrong and I agreed with the update. It restarted my phone into recovery, I clicked for it to restart, and everything seems fine. I'm not even sure if the update took. I still have root.

Edit: Looks like the update didn't go through. I still have T989UVKL1 and not T989UVLDE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exidouce:
I also got a notice this morning about the update. Did the restart. It did not take. Chances are if you still have root you are still running the old firmware. I suggest loading it via Odin to avoid having to reinstall SU and the Juggernaut ROM.

I updated to the new LDE firmware using Kies. Probably should have used Odin but it still worked.

I lost SU and Juggernaut in the process. The zips were still in place on my phone.

SU 3.0.5 was on the internal and Juggernaut was on the external.

I fixed it by:

Installed recovery using Odin, SuperoneClick did not work. Does not work with 2.3.6 it seems.

Booted into Clockwork Recovery Mod. Vol Up + Vol Dn + Power wait until vibration every 3 sec or so then release power. Wait for CWM to pop up before releasing Vol Up and Vol Dn.

Reinstalled SuperUser zip via Clockwork Recovery Mod

Rebooted

Shut down

Booted into Clockwork Recovery Mod again.

Installed Juggernaut zip

Rebooted

Waited ten min

Rebooted

It is not just like it was before installing LDE with Kies but with the new firmware. All my apps and setting are still there.

I was using the Feb 28th I think version of Juggernaut and reinstalled the exact same one. I am also using the touch version (5.8.x.x) of cmw and have not had any issues like some seem to have.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] markusf21:
All you accomplished was a baseband update. You could have just flashed the radio. You would be exactly where you are now but it would have taken 2 minutes.

Sent from the iPhone graveyard.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsquid:
I did the update rooted, I got the update and it unrooter. Re-rooted using same method as before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exidouce:
I know that it was just a simple baseband update but when I did it the kies removed SU and Juggernaut. I was merely trying to explain what I did to get it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrufokid:
This update sucks azzzzzzzz .... My phone has been dropping calls .. And some of my friends say they just get my voice mail when they call .... Roll over and die t-moble
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Yes it does. And on top of all those issues, the battery life sucks donkey (use your imagination)... I say we all keep posting our issues with this update on their Facebook page until they release ICS. We need to put tmobile on the spot, maybe if they have thousands of people seeing that they're delaying fixing these issues, they might get off their arse and do something about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elceedub:
What issues? I haven't had a single problem since the update. The only issue I had before the update (stock un-rooted) was sometimes swiping right on a contact would take 5-10 seconds to actually make the call. Hasn't happened since the update. No problems whatsoever since the update here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SGS2T989USER:

When I select " Mobile Networks ", screen goes black for about 10 seconds except its upper side where the clock , battery and signal appear.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] GS2_Man:
I've noticed a few dropped calls recently, but didn't think anything of it. Are there a lot of people having this issue? I really have had no problems with this update ...

I'm running stock, un-rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
I wrote this on the T-Mobile USA Facebook site

"My service sucks after the UVLDE update on my Galaxy S-II T-989. I get more dropped calls and when it's showing 4G signal on the phone. It will take forever to load Facebook, Instagram or any web based apps. Even the browser will be slow to load. Like as slow as 2G. I don't know what you guys did but this update made my phone worse."

This is what I've been experiencing since the update. I've done a master reset and even formatted my sdcard. I wanted to see if this update helped with anything. The only positive I found was battery life. But other than that my signal is crap. I even get dropped calls on wifi calling. If anyone else is having issues. Maybe post it up on the Facebook page also. Maybe they'll push out ICS sooner than later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
I was getting alot of dropped calls and other anomolies running the stock update and finally went back to darkside 2.7.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ThC23:
Now that we are getting a new update soon can yall stop complaining about how horrible the recent one is. I mean you can always go and use one of the roms in the dev section or better yet change the modem.

Yall sounds like a bunch of girls pms'n.

And even with ICS some will still find ways to wine.

Personally I haven't had any issues with this update and also with ICS like some have claimed. A hiccup here and there, but nothing major that I wasn't able to fix myself.

A lot of it is user error, but they feel better blaming the update/rom/dev!

Some want battery to last 20 hrs or more, like you can't just plug it in to charge after 12 or 14, or carry a car charger.

It's that easy, geezzz people that's what they are there for.

Just my 2¢....

Ok feel better now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
I guess our whining worked. Since they finally gave an "official" date.

I think my complaint about network was valid. When I see 4G icon on my phone I expect to get close to 4G speed...even 3G speed. Not edge or no connection at all.

I know I'm going to flash a custom ROM again eventually. AOKP for sure. I never had any dropped data out of no where with previous stock or custom ROM's and after the stock update. My data is ****. I was talking on the phone using speakerphone and the caller at the other end can't hear me well and keeps saying I must have a bad connection but when I take it off speaker they can hear me clearly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ToledoG28:
This update is my DD. Theres people writing about bugs...but im not having any issues. I just can say im having better signal now. Including places i dont use to have signal at all. Its working perfect...at least for me.

Guys...i would like to know if theres any chances to get toggles or extended power menu on this stock rom? ??? Im rooted...removed some bloat and running darkside kernel. Btw...good battery life. Thanks in advance.

Use apktool to decompile the apk then compile it... if there are picture files, other than apk, resize them (with same number of height and width) (for ex: 600x600 ---> 300x300)

How would decompiling and recompliling change the resolution of the game? :S and you can't just tell him to edit pictures with the same height and width because that's just plain wrong.

At the min iv loaded one flex ics 4.0.3 and I'm on boot loader 3.01 :( only just realised this is bad and I have got cwm recovery what's best to get back to stock HC and do the ota to ics
[Acer Iconia A500] civato:
Look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878 flash one of these roms and you are full stock. Pick the ICS rom if you want ( decrypt it with decrypted if needed , see the same post) put the update zip on your tablet flash it with cwm.

Your root will be gone , recovery will be stock and you will have stock ICS bootloader.

Why you want that is beyond me, but you can also flash full stock full root if you want a full stock rom but still have the liberty to do what you want.
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
I myself am toying around with a few setups trying to decide which is best. Im finding ROMS play a big part in sound quality. So please post your ROM. I dont know if its cause we dont have kernel source or what, but i cant get the sound quality i had with my thunderbolt.

ROM - Ineffibillis Deus 1.0

Poweramp - like it, but crashes and freezes a lot, at least for me and cant figure out why. When it works i use rock preset, tone disabled, srs enabled, beats disabled. Id give sound quality and power an 8/10.

Google Music - not great alone.. But when combined with EQualizer app it can come close to poweramp. Im shying away from this because i dont want to get too used to it since we will be losing unlimited data.. Also, i hate having to be logged into webplayer at home with my gmail accessible.. :/ ill give this 7.5/10

So what are you guys running?
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
That's odd. I have never had power amp crash. Ever.
[HTC Rezound] LastedToLive:
Player pro is a good music player it has good quality
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
Yeah me either on my tbolt. I cant figure it out.. Driving me nuts. On any clean flash of any current rom, it will run fine until i tap library to change the song. Then it freezes for a few moments before ot either crashes, or actually resumes.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
i find myself using the DSPManager app that comes with ineffabilis but its kind of a big power sucker. when streaming pandora with screen off mAh draw goes from like 25 to around 200
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Clear data? That usually seems to fix things.

Though, on a clean rom you shouldn't have to do that.... :(
[HTC Rezound] andrewp3481:
I use the stock music player with Tour Beats by Dre ear buds.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
I use the stock music player with the beats buds that came with the phone. Sounds good enough for me!
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
Then custom EQs on poweramp will make you cry. :)
[HTC Rezound] Deron Baker:
Stock operating system, stock music player, beats audio, JVC Gumy buds or Klipsch s4 earbuds. Sounds awesome. Just listened to some Gorgoroth before bedtime last night!
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
After reading theses posts I tried Poweramp and yes it is very nice. Big improvement over the stock music player. My Rezound sounds much better now over the bluetooth in my car. Prier to Poweramp the stock player lacked Bass, Poweramp is able to over come that disability. Poweramp actually makes the Rezound a lot closer to the sound quality we had on the EVO3D and it didn't even come with Beats Audio.
[HTC Rezound] MedleHed:
I highly doubt that! I'm not much of a crier. ;)

And I would never say I'm an audiophile either. I'll check out power amp though if there is a chance it can make Slayer sound better!
[HTC Rezound] Hag77:
Wow Gorgoroth eh? I can't really get into the norwegian black metal- but the documentaries and stories out there are crazy and interesting..

Sounds good enough to me
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
It is a big improvement as a previous user posted. You can set EQs where you want, or use the built in presets. And if you want multiple EQs, you can create your own presets.

[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.neutroncode.mpeval&hl=en

If you like it, go pro. I seriously can't stand Poweramp coming from my Droid Charge. I tried multiple versions, all of which crashed all the time. I had different ROMs, kernels, etc and Poweramp still crashed. Maybe its fixed now, maybe not.

I think Mortplayer, DSP Manager, and Neutron is where its at.

Oh, and by the way, you take a hit on sound quality in Poweramp with the EQ or tone controls active. It is just the way it is. I don't consider the Rezound sound in the same league as Galaxy S and family on Voodoo or the iPhone, but the Rezound could sound fine if tweaked. Neutron player should have enough tweaks to whip the Rezound sound into shape without a quality hit.

My $.02
[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I've been using PowerAmp Pro for about 1.5-2 years and never had a problem with it. The Beats headphones kinda suck with metal though since there's too much bass.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I have never had a crash, or even a freeze.

And what kind of hit do you mean? Like battery?
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Sound quality hit. I A/B'ed with and without EQ by listening to music and toggling it on and off with the EQ set to flat. It likely has more benefit than harm if you really need to EQ though.

Neutron player is where it is at, IMO.
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
Its this phone... Just has terrible output. Im seriously thinking of reconnecting my tbolt. You think its has anything to do with no kernel source? How could the tbolt be better?
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
How does neutron sound in the car?
[HTC Rezound] xdadevnube:
Lol, I keep thanking posts instead of hitting the quote button.

What I would do is fire up Neutron player, get in your "parked" car and seriously tinker with the settings until you are satisfied. I would give it at least a couple of hours with different music since there are so many damned settings.

The UI may be too overly-complicated for simplistic usage in a car, but it should be easy enough to switch music tracks if you already have all your sound settings dialed in.
[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:
Are you finding any difference between ROMS like i am?
[HTC Rezound] strangecheese94:
LDear metal.heads. I am one.of you. However I also have the luxary of being a veteran installer at a high end car audio shop. I have customers in all the time complaining about how terrible ther music on their phones sounds. There are many audio players that offer eqs and fine tuning, however, never under estimate the source. Audio compression may make your music fit better, but it makes it sound terrible. All most all music ripping software comes default at 192kbs. If you have never changed this you are destroying your frequency response and removing large amounts of your music natural resonance. Google it there are some great charts out there graphing the frequency cut off points of different compression settings. The only way to listen to metal without it sound all blurred together is to adjust your rip settings to no compression. Also be aware you cannot reconvert 192 to uncompressed , don't waste your time. Once the damage is done it cannot be repaired. Unfortunately this also rules out most music download services for they also default to 192. Do the artists you love and your ears a favor and go buy the cd. It benefits everyone.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I am slowly fixing my library by ripping loseless versions of all my songs. Will take up a ton of space, but will sound great!

[HTC Rezound] survivalist9167:

[HTC Rezound] brando56894:
I've read a few things that say unless you're an audiophile/have extremely good hearing and an amazing set of headphones/speakers, that most people can't tell the difference between 320 and lossless.
[HTC Rezound] GrayBoltWolf:
I can tell. But I am a sound technician so I can hear alot of things that normal people can't. Listening through larger speakers with divided frequencies helps you tell the difference.
[HTC Rezound] strangecheese94:
I can tell as well. However I have over 5 grand into my car system, right around 5 grand in my home system and a couple pairs of nice headphones.
