However, keep in mind that to get into download mode on the Telus/Koodo T989D (vs. T-Mobile T989), you need to use a different button combination. See here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079776

I found all of these links with searches on Google. If you're just starting to learn about this stuff, you really need to do some of your own searching. You will get harassed if you continue to ask questions about basics when answers can be easily found with some searching and reading of many, many existing tutorials and other helpful posts.

I'm not really aware of what CSC means and its significance within a ROM, but I noticed on sammobile.com that the T989D has a firmware dated 2013 May with a different CSC number: T989DOYBME1 (vs. T989DOYBMC4). I have read that a different CSC may mean installation could include carrier or region specific customization (i.e. carrier-related apps, APN settings...) Anyone know what the difference is between the two in this case?

You can flash this with clockwork recovery right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treefrog321:
Perhaps you need to make sure the drivers are installed on your computer. Install Kies if you haven't already - the drivers will install with it.

No. The zip is not recovery-flashable. It must be flashed with Odin. You may want to read this thread for instructions:

Hey guys few quick questions, just want to clarify few things before I start flashing, so to start I'm currently on ICS and rooted with cwm recovery, now should I unroot before flashing with Odin the stock jb ROM, I don't care about loosing root, just don't want to EFF things up Lol, also if I flash and end up in boot loop is it the stock recovery that is used to wipe cache etc or u have to flash cwm or twrp if in boot loop, sorry for the multi qs, been doing my research and want clear answers, thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JDM STi:
raptor170, just a quick answer to you. No. I did not unroot before proceed upgrade to stock JB rom. It did not require, and I don't see the reason why it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] raptor170:
Awesome thanks guess I'll be flashing via oden soon
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
If you get the boot loop just do a factory reset with stock recovery.

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] treefrog321:
If you're looking to have rooted stock JB, you need to flash a JB .tar file in Odin before you flash the custom recovery (TWRP) and use it to root. Check sammobile.com for the right .tar to download or grab one from the OP (pull it out of the zip file). To my knowledge, there isn't any difference between the Telus (TLS) and the Koodo (KDO) stock roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] whitey543:
Thanks, figured it out. I had done it backwards, gotten root before upgrading to JB

all good now, have JB MC4 via odin and root

Got ahold of a SGH-T989 (Telus) from my last girlfriend. SInce my Galaxy Nexus is rather slow, and has some silly issues with bluetooth audio in my car and sound cutting in and out during calls I'm looking to jump onto it and ditch the nexus.

She never updated it, it is on ginger bread still from almost 2 years ago.

I downloaded Kies, and tried to connect it via USB but it was doing this wonky thing where it would just flash back and forth from the connecting screen to the not connected screen - never actually connecting. Same goes for when I connected it with USB MTP trying to simply get it to pop up on the computer: nothing. It would just jump all over on the android connecting screen on the phone - like something was seriously wrong with it.

I finally ended up getting connected to Kies via Wi-Fi, it confirmed the OLD firmware version, and below listed the NEW firmware version that is "available" - but there is NO update button anywhere. I looked through every option and window on Kies, and couldn't find anywhere the option to update it.

The battery is 40%, and I just read some guides that say it needs to be 80% or more (for an Odin install though) - so I am charging it and will try again.

Any ideas? Seriously frustrating, this should be so simple and after seeing her headaches with her new iphone I remained comforted I'm sticking with android - after this I am thinking twice though...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphahelix:
I guess it's safe to say that I'm over my head. My phone hasn't been working properly for over a year and it was stuck on gingerbread (Kies would never recognize it). It's a Telus SGH-T989D. I finally decided I had to try to fix my phone because it has been missing calls and going into dead air in the middle of calls sometimes.

I have flashed gingerbread stock with odin before last year to try to fix the issues it was having, it was successful in flashing but the problems continued.

I attempted to flash just now to Jelly Bean through Odin. It says FAILED in a red square. I literally have no idea what to do now. Do I unplug the phone? Do I attempt to restart? Do I just try to flash again in Odin? I have about 50 tabs open trying to find the right answer. I'm a little confused.

Please advise, I am on Windows 8 which I am discovering retrospectively may cause issues with Odin. Kies / drivers appeared to install correctly and actually Kies connected to my phone on this computer (new laptop) after I fiddled with it, but it would not allow me to update. I suspect that this means the drivers are functioning properly?

I am in trouble. I am supposed to have some important phone calls today to this line. I made a bad decision...

EDIT: I fixed it?! I HATE KIES so much. It has caused me so much distress and this was just another cherry on top. The Kies TRAY item was still open even though I didn't see an icon, I ctrl-alt-deleted it afterwards and just unplugged, closed odin, re-opened, re-loaded JB PDA, and flashed it. Success. I don't know if this will solve my problems yet. Do I have to do a reset after it finishes?

Need to Root

I have a Galaxy SII SGH-T989D that was from Koodo

I have since had the phone un-locked and now use Fido.

The firmware was up dated via kies and shows as PDA:MC4/PHONE:MC4/CSC:MC4 (KDO)

Everything works great and I'm happy with it, but I need to Root to be able to run Titanium Backup Pro

Can you suggest the easiest safest way this may be done? Simple is better sofar I know just enough to get me into trouble but not enough to get out of it.

Accessing my SGH-T989D

Hi guys,

I'm using a SGH-T989D. Few days back the phone started to show low storage sign. During the weekend I started deleting some files, usually pics and cache. I also went to application manager, selected every program and started deleting its data.

That's when the phone literally frooze. The screen just frooze and none of the buttons were working. So i took out the battery and re-inserted it. Since then, the phone starts, Samsung logo appears, then the animation appears with sound and then it gets stuck at Samsung. Nothing happens.

I tried clearing the cache by holding Volume Up/Down + Power button. Successfully did that. Nothing changed. Then I tried accessing the phone in safe mode, but I was not successful.

I'm tempted to wipe/ factory reset the phone, but I'm going to loose all of my stuff. Is there any thing i can do at this moment to access the phone - even in safe mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:
Correct me if I am wrong, If you have a custom rom on your phone already kies wont recognize it, you will need to use odin to flash the update.

There are a few how too's in the development to help odin back to stock.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eldamobo:
Sorry for the lack of clarity in my post - I actually am running a stock image, but I flashed a different recovery image so I could run nandroid backups :)

For work reasons (ugh, Good For Enterprise) I keep this device pretty stock and unrooted - but I don't feel safe without a backup

Kies asked me to update the device, and is doing something with the phone now...fingers crossed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Octane70:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
I am pretty sure Kies won't finish the install if you have CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eldamobo:
Yup - Kies install worked fine - it retained most of the settings

Some observations thus far:

- Jellybean external_sd management has changed

- Swype is gone! - the samsung replacement seems interesting, but I miss the select all, copy and paste shortcuts

- ui refinements (fonts, settings, and lock screen etc) are nice

- blocking mode

- improved shortcuts in the notifications pane

- UI is much smoother, phone doesn't appear much faster tho

- Need to setup widgets on go launcher again - but the new touchwiz home supports better folders, so I may use that instead

Just my 2cents :)

I'll try the new tmo radio and see how the file sizes compare.

Ok, so a friend of mine has the Telus version of this phone while mine is Koodo. We both updated today and they are identical. They don't even have carrier-specific boot screens this time. It just says Samsung. Also, I had updated my phone with Odin while my friend used Kies. Just to test it out, I opened my phone in Kies and it listed the firmware as TLS and not KDO and told me I had the latest firmware version, but I had downloaded the KDO one from samsung-updates. So it seems there really is no difference at all in firmware this time.
