Then you'll be stuck on a buggy bandwagon then, myself i like finished products and functionality rather than having a half arsed hardly working rom on my phone, and fyi anyone can post anywhere on XDA, chill out ffs.

---------- Post added at 08:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:24 AM ----------

Because i had an opinion, it's a discussion? I thought i had a valid point til the american's all fired their weapons in sync at me.

---------- Post added at 08:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 AM ----------

Again, that is your opinion and i can agree with you to a point, myself i think touchwiz this year isn't half bad, i don't agree with severely limited though, check out usb otg and you'll find out that samsung have left in quite a fair bit of functionality, not to mention that once the dev's got hold of it, it's grown in speed and looks, again, just my opinion.

I'd like to see JB here too, just rather wait for something official that's all. :)

Dldaz, you're starting to sound like a troll. I'm not going to argue with you (since arguing on the internet us like the special Olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded), but you're spreading a lot if discord. If you could so kindly stop posting your bull****, it would be greatly appreciated.

Anyways, back on topic. I'm looking forward to seeing what our devs will be able to do. Our phone is insanely powerful, and the potential is there. Samsung makes outstanding devices so we just have to harness it and do what T-Mobile and Samsung won't.

Just updated my phone through kies and after holding my breath for about 20 minutes everything updated really nice.

One small annoyance -

I noticed that the path for the extra storage is now - storage/extSdCard.

Just in case someone needs to update paths for some of the apps

(In my case QuickPic had certain folders that it could see for quicker access -

after a bit of head scratching I figured out that the name of storage path has changed.)

All in all a very nice update.

The only thing I have no idea how it will effect the battery -

I hope that the battery will keep on working well in the new system.

This update is of course for T-Mobile SGH-T989

It updated to Android version 4.1.2

damn thats tough have you tried restarting your PC then taking your battery out and SIM then micro SD card just to refresh things a bit and then start all over see if you have any signs of life when the computer turns on connect your wire to the phone before you put the battery in and then try again report back with any luck ?

Root will not take

I followed these same steps after updating via KIES and I do not get root access. I boot successfully into recovery, (TWRP 2.4.4.0), and then run the root zip, (CWM_Root_Superuser_3.1.3_Busybox_1.20.2.zip), and then reboot the phone. Once the phone completes it's boot up I check root access and it has not taken.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

GB
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
You didnt follow the instructions. Dont try to flash the root script. When you boot into TWRP, go into the reboot screen (If I remember) and it should ask you if you want to install superSU. Say yes, then reboot and follow instructions.

Phone will reboot, and in your programs there will be a superSU installer. Open it.

Followed directions.

Now fully rooted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xb12mel:
Ahh the sweet taste of Jelly Bean

I updated via Kies yesterday... Worked great for me. Took about 20 minutes from start to finish. I even helped some of my Sprint GSII buddies get their 4.1 on after they found out that I did it.

Say what you want about Kies, but it works. I've gone from Gingerbread to ICS and now JB without rooting using my device. Not that I'm against it and certainly not because i'm not in a rush, but because I'm expecting both the manufacturer and the service to do the right thing.

But my next phone will be a Nexus device to make sure that I don't have to wait 6 months for updates!

Anyone know where I can find the ICS / JB compairison? I'm sure that I've only seen the tip of the iceburg of the enhancements. you know the blairingly obvious ones.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gbarnard:
OK, tried it again and when I choose the reboot option I am prompted with "System", "Power Off", and "Recovery.. I have tried all 3 and I am never prompted to install superSU.

PS - I have been following Ariana's noob guide.

I've tried rebooting the computer tried a different computer, different cable. Download mode and recovery mode won't come up at all. removed the SIM and SD card and Battery and no signs of powering on. However when I plug it into the computer it starts to install drivers but then fails to finish installing them, but the drivers were already installed on the computer, but no signs of powering up with or without the battery. before trying the update the battery was at 100% charged. I left the phone plugged in today and tried again with no luck.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokinjoe2122:
Sounds bad dude... Did you pull the battery for a while? Honestly if it's not showing any life at all, you need need to have it replaced. Getting it into download mode is one thing, not getting any life is another....As far as the drivers, just can manually update them and point them back at the C:\Program Files\SAMSUNG\USB Drivers folder source
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoobyracing03:
I'm thinking that is what I did too.

Yeah I've tried that too but other than windows making a sound saying it detected a device being plugged in there is no signs of life. Since she got it this past September I'm going to try and call T-mobile and see if I can get a replacement under the manufacture warranty. Or do you think going to a T-mobile store they could do something there?

Ehh, don't like the application list layout and how it's incorporated with widgets, the way you choose between 2apps to open a file requires an extra step if only "use once" , and foldes with apps looks terrible. Honestly it's a compromise with ics; somethings function better, most things worse. And project butter seems like cottage cheese, phone is not really smoother than before. Used a win phone 8 and THAT was smooth

Side note, any benefit to wiping phone and reinstalling apps fresh vs porting over from when ics was installed?

JB Successfully Installed

I Upgraded the Firmware to Jelly Bean (OS v4.1.2) using Samsung Kies, which was a breeze.

I had to re-root the device though.

The device is not as smooth as on ICS, but I'll search XDA for other Custom ROM's so i can get an improved experience.

The Layout will get some getting use-to, but the ease of organisation of the Apps is kool.

I'll provide further updates, as necessary:good.

Rooting

So I did find that I couldn't root at all when I used ODIN to install the stock jellybean rom. When I went into TWRP and hit the "Reboot" button and then "System" my phone would just reboot. I must have tried 5 or 6 times by wiping and reflashing stock and TWRP from ODIN. It never worked. So I finally sat down and wiped the phone, installed ICS from ODIN and then let Kies update my phone. Then installed TWRP from ODIN and let the phone run for a little bit. Then I booted into recovery hit "Reboot - System" and then it asked if I wanted to root! :D I now have full root access! Hope this helps all of you who are having troubles getting root

Also where are the lockscreen controls?? I have to have them!

So, I had a stock ROM that was rooted, I updated via ODIN to JB and then re-rooted with TWRP, everything went smoothly so far. But then I went into Titanium backup and tried to integrate updates into a ROM, and I get an error "Not enough space on system ROM", there was less than 1 Mb free. So I decided to remove some bloatware. Removed "Asphalt" game, and got arounf 3 Mb. Tried bulk "integrate" command, no luck again, same error. Was able to integrate a tiny update "Samsung push service" ....... but nothing else. Tried removing a bigger program, "TeleNav" ...... still no luck, same error, tried removing "Visual vm, no luck still.

when i first got my T989 in December, i had to change the radio to UVLE1 in order to unlock the phone. today, i installed jedi mind trick's jelly bean ROM and i noticed that the signal bar is empty despite the phone working perfectly fine and having a strong signal (verified with another app). could the absence of the signal bar be due to my "downgraded" UVLE radio? if so, should i install the newest radio/baseband? will that fix the problem? what is the most recent version?

thanks!

You didnt specify, but are you connected to wifi with wifi calling enabled? If so, then it wont show signal.

And yes, you should install the newest radio UVMC6 which you can download from THIS thread.

edit: you also didnt specify how you loaded JB on to your phone. If you Odin'd the image, youve already got the newest radio. Check your phone to make sure:menu-->settings-->about device-->baseband version

That is the Odin tar file...not flashable from recovery! (unless you use Odin mobile which is kinda flaky).

For a flashable zip closest to stock try THIS ONE. It is deodexed.

For wiping cache/data you need to use Jamison's wipes located HERE. After flashing do NOT use ANY OTHER WIPING METHOD. Your phone will not boot.
