[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Yeah but like I said before I'm thinking it's going to be released just maybe not anytime soon. I wish mrknitty would give us some more info on this. There is no reason someone would lie about our phone getting jelly bean and since its being released in Sweden then the rest of the world there is no reason at all for the US to get it.

I just want to stay positive about it. Jelly bean is pretty much the new standard and since its such a small update compared to ics, you would think we would have got the update months ago. T mobile didn't say anything about us getting ics and then of nowhere it was released. Then they released 4.0.4 in record time. So I'm pretty sure that's how jelly bean is going to be released. No notification about the update, not even saying it's jelly bean. Just that they have released a update with bug fixes. That's what happen when we got 4.0.4 anyway. I guess I'm just hoping that behind the scenes they have been working on it and are just waiting to release it. Since there's no reason it shouldn't be finished if they started working on it months ago. It could also be a way for them to get as much people to upgrade to the s3. Make people think the s2 is not getting it then once it's released on the s3 they all of the sudden release it for the s2. It sounds a lot like something they would do. At least to me anyway.

I have a feeling your 100% right I can't wait to get official jb from TMobile :cyclops:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Looks like TMo is pushing out JB for SGS3 right now OTA. Hopefully we're not too far behind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pamulli:
Does anyone know if wifi-calling can be ported to the SGS2 from the SGS3 ROM or does it have to come from an SGS2 specific release to have the correct framework? That's the only thing preventing me from trying out all of the JB ROMs since I have to have wifi calling.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aaki_rocker:
i think devs could try porting new features from jb-sgs3 to our device ! ;)

or the whole rom ! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casonswag:
Cant do the whole rom but the features can be done and it has been done
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nsheaffer:
Not for our TMO GS2 but it looks like we may have something in the works before much longer. Hopefully we will gets ours soon.

That's not for our phone but it's a sign of good things to come
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nsheaffer:
Correct. Not for our phone but is a good sign.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
1st part of the leak sprint got it... 2nd part of the jb leak, at&t skyrocket and t989, suppose to be release any minute.

For the recorded JB will be officially released for T-Mobile at the top of the year.

The reason why its taking so long because T-Mobile wants to push out jb on majority of its 2012 phones first.

But jb been done on t989 since beginning of October.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
T mobile USA?

Thanks again Mrknitty.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoobyracing03:
So you are saying that Jelly Bean has been done since October for the US T-Mobile T989 but yet they are still in testing stages for the international SII? That is so backwards from any other Samsung phone to date. The international versions have always gotten updates before and in a number of cases they got updates and upgrades the US variants have not gotten. Sorry but I call BS to you considering there has been nothing posted on any major Android news source saying Tmobile's SII T989 is getting JB and you say it's been done since last month where is some proof? All the posts on any news site I have seen has mentioned a number of Samsung phones but none have mentioned the T989 getting Jelly Bean.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
Did you ever consider some of those "major" websites get inside information from "people" like me.

but you don't have to listen to me, go find your own source (like I would tell everyone else).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
No reports of the T989 getting Jelly Bean? It clearly gives some sort of a time line on the Telus website for a release.. Why wouldn't T-Mobile be getting it. Considering it's the exact same phone..?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] headcreepz:
gtfo troll.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoobyracing03:
If that's the case where is the leak of the finished software that you have said was done then? In one hand you are saying you are these major websites source but why are none of them reporting what you are saying here? Why does even Samsung themselves not list the T989 for getting Jelly Bean?

Not a troll but well I've had the Vibrant t959 that kept getting said it was getting official Gingerbread, but somehow it has yet to get it but the I9000 got it. I have a G2X that was suppose to be getting official ICS like the P990 got elsewhere but yet it's not gotten it from T-mobile. So I simply ask for some kind of proof of what you claim since even Samsung didn't list the T-mobile variant as getting it but the international has been listed as getting Jelly Bean. T-Mobile is great at doing one major upgrade in a phones life and then drop support for it. The T989 got a major update already ICS, so yes I am not expecting it to get any more updates.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Why does he need to provide proof when there is plenty in this thread already if u look.. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
Knock, Knock
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oniddy:
where the f*** is jellybean for our t-mobile samsung galaxy s2 t989 after seeing that other s2 my heart dropped :crying: lol i tell u this i been a tmobile customer for a while MORE THAN 10 YEARS I THINK & if my phone dont get updated ill switch contract asap now starting word 2 my mommaAAAAAAAAA :mad: they need 2 get it together also always mahh late dropping updates ****tttt
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I've also been with t mobile for 11 years and if the other carriers get it and t mobile doesn't i will also leave t mobile.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure we will. I would have doubt but if mrknitty says we are getting it then there is no reason that we wouldn't get it. Why would he take the time to give us this info if it were not true. There are also other leaks saying we are getting the update and there is just no reason we wouldn't get it if the other carriers are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
You guys do realize that TMo has been the first carrier in the US to push out the big OS releases to their Samsung lines right? AFAIK TMo was first to push ICS to SGS2 and were first to push JB to SGS3.

These things don't happen immediately, but they DO happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
True! I think t- Mobile was the last to release a leaked version but the first in the U.S to release an official build of ICS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bigimac78:
Who's there?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I wonder if they are going to announce it at all. I remember when they released 4.0.4, they didn't say a thing until it was up on kies. I know it was the going from 4.0.3 to 0.4 but still, it wasn't really announced.

I don't think it will happen this year though. But that's just me trying not to get my hopes up to much. I guess it could come out next month since its been done for so long now, there's no reason for it not to. Right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveNavy:
Agreed I think this dude is full of B.S., Tech Support spends about 75% of their interactions in chat yet this shlub couldn't seem to put a dash in t-mobile.

Who works for a company and doesn't even get the name right and wants people believe he works there? LOL!!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
You can't even capitalize the name, so I'm not sure you should really be criticizing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
That is the basis for your claim...? His ibformation has been spot on... And most of his timelines have been right for new releases. My dad works for tmo... And he spells it tmo or tmobile just like normal people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
What would he get out of pretending to work there? Maybe some sort of recognition on XDA.. Or maybe he would do it for the "thanks".. If you seriously believe that then you need to get a life, because FYI he actually was the first one to say we were getting JB even before Samsung announced it for our phone..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chris9446:
Since when were employee's of a company, their marketing experts or graphic designers or any sort of representative, other than just an employee? I see no problem with such a minor mistake. For example, I bet staff members here call xda-developers, "xda". Same ****, its simply just as easy to understand.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 96shox:
Maybe slightly off topic, but did anyone realize there is an official 4.0.4 update via Keis? If you did your ICS update when it first came out then you have 4.0.3 and there is a new update out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Accidental thanks! Yes everybody knows, been out for a long, long time. Many ROMs were built using it as a base.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Those accidental thanks are the best!

I'm tired of T-mobile & Samsung taking forever to release a 5 month old firmware.

Hello NEXUS 4!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ian577416:
That's what I did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Tmo may be slow vs nexus but Tmo was pretty quick to get ics our for our phone vs other companies. First US company to release for S2, second behind Telus in Canada and third behind international. Give them the benefit of the doubt.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] charliearthur:
Don't give up on the S2 just yet! :cool: By switching to the N4 you would have to go through the Play store or another outlet so why not just root your S2 since you don't have to trade it in for an upgrade and worry about voided warranties. The process is very simple and you can be done in less than an hour. I'm rooted and using a JB 4.1.2 ROM that is extremely stable on my S2. My coworker has an S3 with JB and I have run side-by-side tests and of course his S3 beats mine but my S2 hangs in like a champ and doesn't stutter on any task.

Just food for thought before you drop $300 that could go towards something else (N4 is a great phone so a win either way I guess)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] oniddy:
i did the same thing "hello nexus 4" hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa im just tired always waiting on updates ics was here quick not so quick since google phones update quick but in other hand jellybean even worse is taking forever with no official update still not mentioned by tmobile seeing that other s2 already have jellybean :mad:

nexus 4 here i come bye t989 awesome phone would rate it a 7 out of 10 with nexus 4 beeing a 9 because it sucks not to have sd card other than that ill rate it a 10 very srtong phone able to handle anything u throw at it right now :good:

i dont care about this official JB! stable JB cm10 is released months ago ^_^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
What's the 4.1.2 ROM are referring to? Curious. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ooshi:
Either I'm stupid or just plain blind.

Edit: Asked a stupid question sorry.

Now new question, I have been looking around again because I just can't seem to root the phone on my own.

Looked for instructions, maybe some help and I found many! (Even in the Faqs)

But the thing is, the links to the guides may be working but the links in the guides are broken.

A lot of the guides looked outdated too. Guessing how they're methods that seem to have been patched in previous versions of Android.

(Reported by the other members trying the root)

If I was to be successful, plan was to make a renewed guide but I've failed as always.

(And quite possibly soft bricked my phone :D)

Any help?

Reason to do this is to quite possibly try and flash JB on the phone when I have the time.

As I have said, I have been closely following Yaldak's progress on his attempt to get JB running properly on the T989

and I guess I wanted to join the bandwagon.

Current Rom: 4.0.4 (What I can tell is stock)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crownua6:
Too late. I was one of the lucky individuals that scored a Nexus 4 on launch day in the Play Store. I am now an extremely happy owner of a 16 GB Nexus 4! Bought it for $350, and sold my S2 for $350. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my S2, but I couldn't pass up an awesome deal on a pure Google device!

making the switch to JB...finally

I'm a bit tech savvy (flashed a few roms), but no where near the level as you all. I'm SO appreciative of all the work that the developers here do (i read the ENTIRE thread). I was still unsure of where to go to get everything for JB, so I googled a few key words and found this link with a step by step. I figure I'd share it just in case there are some other not-as-savvy SGS2 owners who want the experience of JB. BTW I beasted for this phone for months and finally got it late June. I've been in love with it, but always thought more could be done...THANK YOU for contributing to the solution. :victory::good:

Hopefully Telus will stick to their update schedule. If they do it should be out before the month is over

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hapster:
Key Lime Pie (or whatever they decide to call it) will probably be out before we get an official release of Jelly Bean for our SII's, if we get one. I guess I'd rather be cynical and pleasantly surprised than hopefully and disappointed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Doubtful. That would come out early summer at the earliest.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I'm starting to lose hope in that we are getting jelly bean. I've found no release of it anywhere and its already the 12th of this month.

I mean really. Why would it take this long. If they already have it why isn't it being rolled out? Jelly bean is a much smaller update compared to ics, so why is this taking so long? I've pretty much lost my faith here. It was supposed to be released November. It's the last two weeks of December and what do we have, nothing.. not even a due date or even a insider insuring us it is coming.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hapster:
Yeah, I'm still not holding my breath.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grindnmosh:
FYI Leak is already out.... It is being played with now and is in Beta testing. The Leak will be a fully running ROM by our amazing DEVs before Samsung delivers. Get Rooted Get everything you are seeking. When you wait you grow old waiting.

P.S. It is a skyrocket Leak which is the AT&T twin of Hercules. It is coming. Patience will get you the official. Impatience will get you the leak soon. :)

Is there a way to adjust the camera Megapixels in Jellybean? I dont always want to take 8mp shots.

Searched around and even through this thread and didnt find an answer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dayzesrs:
I see a lot of the same comments from when we were waiting on ICS. Calm down people. We will get our fix as soon as TMo puts the wonderful WiFi Calling into it. For the guy who asked how it runs, so far it is wicked fast and smooth. Just as good or better then any ICS or CM variant.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grindnmosh:
I agree LOL same stuff diff version LOL. This is gonna be amazing and our DEVs always do it before the manufacturer.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mrdeath2000:
Crap. Running RC9... I would think it would have it too, but I haven't been able to find it.

It's not in the options with the camera open or in the liquid splasher/launcher "that I've been able to find".

I'll keep CM10 in mind.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mojorisin7178:
I do belive that you guys will get it. And I will say it is worth it. I am using the note 2 now and I just got cm10 on it I couldnt wait to get rid of touchwiz. But I have to say that the battery life sucks on cm. It was amazing on the stock rom and all the modified stock roms. I suspect that when you guys get it it will be the first touchwiz rom that will be worth it. The t989 is a beast of a phone. I gave mine to a friend and I got AOKP JB on it and I got to say it is right up there in performance with the quad core note 2. And the video is just as good. No I dont think that samsung and tmo are ready to retire the t989 yet. You will get jb 4.1.2 and later on probally 4.2.1 and It will definitly be capable of running the next one the "K" rom whatever they will call it. tmobile will not go that far with it but you guys will have it so dont sweat it. Just like the other guy said if you are patient you will get the official if not the great devs here will get it to you. Sorry to go on so much. I actually miss this fourm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I've always been pretty sure about 4.1.2 and I suppose 4.2.1 is a possibility but it's probably not a stretch. And I definitely agree that K is out of the question for our phone at least officially
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
It would be nice to hear a update from MrKnitty. It's been a while since he has been on this topic. I'm sure he knows something as he always does.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] laserdemon:
People around here treat him like crap. So don't expect much. I would like to hear something too
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
You would just think there is at least someone that would know something, right? Is it that top secret?

Let's just put it this way. I'm pretty sure if we where going to get Jelly Bean someone would know something about it. Someone would tell us what's going on. But this thread is pretty much dead now. So it really doesn't look like we are getting jelly bean at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] grindnmosh:
Pay attention to info onxda and the web. Tom gets the last leaks and first launch usually. Gs2 job leaks are flooding out. New leak for our at&t twin just dropped. People on rooted phones already are running tpuchwiz job ROMs built off the leaks. Tom said s2 getting job at official press release. Dry your tears and search. Seek and you will find. If your that inpatient then root and flash and you can have it now. Lol. Have a happy new year.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dayzesrs:
I must add that I love the AT&T ROM. I just need my wifi calling so I can't use it as a DD
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Maybe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] headcreepz:
maybe what? Our twin device is getting leaks of its official jb rom....what more do you need? It just came out for the s3 officially! Why would we get it before the s3? Like someone else told you...either root and have jelly bean now or quit crying and be patient. To be honest weve already upgraded from gingerbread to ics...they dont owe us jellybean.....but im confident we will get the update. We are just lower on the priority list.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Don't be like that, lol.

No one is crying here buddy. We are just hoping for some information on the jelly bean update. I don't flash roms so I'm just waiting for the official update. Well more like hoping we get it. After all the things I've read here about it being ready since November and all. It just makes it that much harder to believe we are getting it because you would think it would have been released if it's been ready that long.

Anyway here's to hoping we get it next year. Maybe even January :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Well it looks like we won't be getting jelly bean this month. Just the fact there hasn't even been any news or leak or anyone able to say t mobile is releasing it at all is worrying me. I think I can sadly say we are not getting the update and if we do it will be months away.. I guess I have no choice but to get the Note 2. At least t mobile is on top of things with that phone.

I wouldn't think so either. International variant still doesnt have official either but who knows.
