T-Mobile USA GN2 T889 ROOTED

I can confirm that my GN2 has root installed CWM-Superuser-v3.1.3.zip is installed and SuperSU has been given root access/permission. Here are the steps that I used:

1. Use GalaxyNote2 TOOLKIT --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1923956

2. After you install everything and get the TOOLKIT started at the Main Menu

3. Option 2

4. Option 4

5. Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled

Pushing CWM-Superuser-v3.1.3.zip to Internal Storage

Do you have Custom Recovery on your phone? [type yes or no]:no

USB DEBUGGING MUST BE ENABLED IN SETTINGS, DEVELOPER OPTIONS BEFORE STARTING.

The USB cable needs to be unplugged to do this. Just plug it back in afterwards.

====================================================================================

Are you ready to continue? [Type yes or no]:yes

Waiting for USB debugging to be enabled

Rebooting phone into Download Mode

When Odin opens you should see that the first box at the top under ID:COM should

turn blue and 'Added' should appear in the message box in the bottom left of Odin.

====================================================================================

1. Make sure 'Auto Reboot' and 'F.Reset Time' are ticked in Odin and nothing else.

2. Click on the PDA button in Odin and browse to the 'Galaxy Note2 ToolKit'

folder, open the 'Recovery' folder, click on the file

'recovery-cwm-6.0.1.4-n7100.tar'. Click the OPEN button to load it.

3. Make sure the file location is displayed next to 'PDA' and click on the START

followed nycplayboy78's instructions on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953553&page=3

When they say option 2 then 4 they mean after you select build option 2 on the first screen.

YMMV but I have a custom recovery meant for the n7100 working great on my tmobile note 2.

Man, on my g2 I had to wait a month for root. This phone, hours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
Yes,I did test on my note. just another way without using toolkit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondercoolguy:
can it be confirmed that you don't lose your signal from this method?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
What signal? Wifi?data? Network? Everything work fine here
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wondercoolguy:
some of us who rooted incorrectly are with out a signal anyone who can post rom image would be much much much appreciated!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
Everything works fine. I'm making NAND backup and I will upload for who make incorrect root but can boot to recovery mode can restore to stock rom ^^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
thanks....u are the man....i hope it fixes the missing IMEI issue...

Here is my NAND backup for boot and recovery image. Hope this help.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
As I said, it's only boot and recovery images
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
i'm kinda new to this but would i just flash that in cwm or how would i go about utilizing this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] evohog:
Which method are the imei's being lost on?

Thats the part that scares me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] luser01:
Do you have the ability to pull the radio?

I think that is what the issues is for some.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
Copy to your internal sd card(sd card root\clockworkmod\backup\2012-10-25.13.13.21\)

You have to create folders if you dont have it.

Then go to recovery -> backup and restore -> restore
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanJH:
The toolkit wipes the IMEI of T-Mobile Note II's UNLESS method 4 is used, and even that may be risky.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
I have no ideas about lost IMEI number. I never face it before. This is my 8th android phone

I have used toolkit to root. It's work fine. :D

---------- Post added at 12:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:34 AM ----------

I dont know how to pull the radio file. Let me do a research ^^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanJH:
Did you use method 4, the one that just flashed CWM and pushed the root .zip to the device, and nothing else?

I'm making backup using format file tar. I think you can use tar file to install by odin. Hope this will help u.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
yes...tar files will install through odin...think that would be even better than cwm....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
Finished, the folder is 3.5GB. WTH...

Let me try to backup using the tools.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
I know the tar file for the GS3 was like 1.6gb...not sure if that helps or not
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
I just do it again and the folder is 1.6GB. But in this folder have:

Should I upload to you to restore by recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
either recovery or odin....either one will work...dude....don't worry about it....i took your boot.img and created a tar file with it and my phone is working again!! you're the man!!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dvsadversary:
hey there, I'm having the same issue. what do you mean you created a tar file from the boot.img? just the boot.img? and flashed it with odin?

no problem...totally pulled it out of my a.... but it works.... ensure you all thank phuduong as well for sending the boot.img... figured i would try to create a tar file out of it and see if it worked...luckily enough it did...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dreisus:
Everything Worked well for me. Important thing to note coming from someone who completely bricked. 2 S2 devices. Read the instructions extremly carefully when rooting. One mistake and its a brick. stay away from rom manager.I wouldnt advise flashing nay roms for a while. Damn you just got the thing get used to it first before you start making modifications. New roms may have different Radio = headache.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] phuduong:
I'm uploading the folder on hotfile.

There will be 3 parts (because I can only upload maximum 400MB/file with free account) with recover record in it to prevent problem when download.

I have pm you an account and password to login and use file manager to download it easier.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] slimc84:
i'm sure once ROMs are created and such that there will be a TMO GN2 thread...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
Tmo user either you can root by toolkit or my way which same with toolkit method but shoter time and please do not try to flash any n7100 rom to t889 you will stuck on boot loop .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] srgcrespo1:
For the guys that are rooted, have you been able to get tethering to work without a tethering plan? Using foxfi or "wifi tether for root users" or any similar apps? Thats the only reason that would make me root right now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] simplelife:
Since you been ask , I try to activate tether and guest what Tmo ask me to pay 14.99 a month for that thing. You know the answer...:eek:

Let me try the one you said see how it's go

Edit : both you mention keep error not working, maybe we need to wait for custom rom come out with this option
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] teshxx:
Since everyone has been using Note 2 (international version) to root Tmobile variant of Note 2, has anyone confirmed that they both have the same cache ?? I am not sure if there are any adverse effects of using cache from N7000, but still I would like to know if they both indeed have the same cache ?

Hope somebody with experience can shed some light onto this.

Thanks

I rooted the T-Mobile grey variant using the GNoteII Toolkit under option 2,4,1 with no issues. Thanks everyone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] elite-fusion:
are you missing the IMEI number ? since you've rooted with the toolkit? some people where having that issue. Please confirm. Thanks :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanJH:
No issues, data works fine. As long as you ONLY install cwm recovery and install root (method 4 as of v1.0 of the toolkit) you should be fine. DO NOT use any of the methods that touch the boot/hboot until the toolkit OFFICIALLY supports the TMo version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shawnpandey:
FYI guys, just flashed the modem zip recently posted and i got the signal bars atleaset but still IMEI shows up as zero

BTW i don't actually have the T-mobile version but the Wind version(SGH-T889v canadian version) so not sure if it's related.

I'm selling this phone now if i can't figure this out soon!!!

... is almost gone and still no JB update on the horizon. I doub't that there will be an JB Update this month :(

Anyone with me? :D
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
It's htc obviously there isn't going to be a jelly bean update they talk out their back side all the time never buying another HTC device.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
They actually never said October, that was just a rumour and supposedly only for the X, not the S.

They only came out the other day officially saying November for the one X and December for the one S.

http://www.techradar.com//news/phon...ean-release-date-when-will-you-get-it-1087344

But yeah I agree, it is annoying........

I am not expecting the update to hit my stock sim free one S in the UK till January or February.
[HTC One S] Ivancp:
That notice its false (sorry for my inglish) htc said in their google+ and another sites like twitter, that update its going to rolling out in this month for ONE X AND ONE S, THIS...
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
You got any links to those posts?
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
It doesn't matter htc even if they give us a date they don't stick to it happens with most of their devices I really don't care if they go bankrupt they are terrible to customers
[HTC One S] Spastic909:
Man...some of you don't seem to understand how the update process works. Weather HTC said this month or not it doesn't matter. You service provider has final say as to when you get your precious update.

As of yesterday give it take " update for the one x and one s will be November and December respectively"!

Take 2 seconds and google it.

4.0.4 with sense 4 is pretty slick so I'm not sure why everyone has their panties in a bunch
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
A lot of us have sim free devices, which means we don't have to rely on network providers, so in theory if HTC released the JB update for Europe, every sim free one s that was bought from Europe should have the JB update by the end of the week, likewise for USA etc. Network locked/branded phones have to wait.

Sim free device means it comes down to the CID number.

Although with the way things worked out for the last update, it sounds like you're better of with branded phones :rolleyes:

Take 5-10 seconds to read this thread, I already posted that quote in this thread already......

Regarding as to if JB will make a difference or not, many people who have the GS 3 have said the difference in smoothness is pretty big coming from ICS and from my experience the GS 3 is smoother than the S, just not as nippy/speedy though.

Besides there is more to it than just project butter:

- notification tray UI update

- improvement in battery slightly

- improvements in sense such as themes for the SMS sense app, camera UI, battery history/graph

No doubt there will be other improvements, possibly improving signal/wifi performance even more.
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Mines sim free not branded and should get it straight away also once devs get their hands on the software they can implement it into their roms so technically we are just waiting for HTC and they don't stick to their deadlines
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
I'm just going to throw this in here also... Coming from a family who has ran a small business, deadlines are hard to keep. You may think with 100% certainty that something will be done by then, but something else pops up and you have to focus on that.

Even with HTC being a bigger company they have a TON of other things to worry about, not going out of business for one. There's no way HTC has as many developers on board as Samsung and Google at the moment, not to mention how much more work goes into Sense UI than Touchwiz.
[HTC One S] GeckoD:
Not only that, but do you remember a few years ago when phones didn't update firmware or software at all?! As someone already mentioned, the recent OTA update is great, and gets any job done for all intents and purposes. This is a case of wanting the shiny new thing right away - I say you're lucky you don't have to buy a new phone to get it at all, IMHO.

If you can give a solid example how JB will fix a major problem, or make your Android-Phone-using life drastically better, I'll reconsider. In the mean time I'm more than happy with what I have.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Couldn't agree more. I don't see how much better my phone can get, it does anything and everything I want it to. It lasts me more than all day, except if I play heavy games (Which is a given with any phone...)

If you want fast updates, and a lot of them go to a iphone.

Everyone is nagging on HTC, while not enjoying what they have.
[HTC One S] mikeyinid:
Jellybean will not drop until after the one x+ drops. Count on it. That's how they get that small percentage of impatient people to upgrade.
[HTC One S] electro`:
I can't believe I'm saying this, but give HTC a break.

I mean, it is them but it is us too.

Several companies haven't even pushed ICS yet.

And are you kidding? Not many things changed, just an addition of Google Now and some other things. I would understand if they like promised like 5.0 Kandy Kane/Key Lime Pie/Krispy Kreme or whatever, but no.

The update is also confirmed to start rolling out in October-November.

HTC no longer announces dates for release of software due to the nature of the software development process. At any point in the software development cycle a situation may be encountered that requires anything from some minor additional rework, to complete rewrites of the software base. Only after the final acceptance testing has been successfully completed will HTC release software. The normal time period between the final acceptance testing and release of software is about a week and often shorter than that.

Also, look at other companies. Samsung, Huawei, Sony, Alcatel, etc. All companies are never sure when they are going to release it. I'm sure it's not easy to develop something for ever single device and customize everything to a liking. All phone companies lie.

Hope that helps!
[HTC One S] usaff22:
I also think the main reason they could be late is because of rebasing it on 4.1.2 instead of 4.1.1, to avoid another update in the future.

[HTC One S] FBK:
Hi guys !

If you look at the link below, it says (in French sorry :/) that the htc one x & s (SFR branded) will be updated on the 6th November. It also mentions that they are now validating internally the update.

http://android.sfr.fr/htc-one-xs-sfr/
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
This.

I am sure JB has been ready for quite a while now, well most certainly for the one X anyway.

Only reason they don't release it for the X is due to the above, another selling point for the X+.

Exact same happened with the GS 3 and the GS 3 LTE model in the UK, only in the last few days have GS 3 UK owners been getting the JB update despite the LTE model being out for a month or a few weeks iirc. Only difference between them is one has an extra GB of RAM and is LTE supported.

I am in no rush at all really, however, I would like to get the update before the end of the year though especially since I can't see us getting 4.2.....

Here is just a glimpse preview of what JB and the new sense will bring, it is for the X though and some stuff isn't right i.e. we do have the notifications new features, which shows more detail.

http://www.neowin.net/news/htc-sense-4-review-how-it-should-have-been-from-the-start
[HTC One S] k1llacanon:
Why don't u think we will be getting 4.2? Do u think one x will be getting 4
