Im new to android and came across this forum trying to lean the exact process to root and ROM my S2 on Tmobile.

He explained what he did while he was doing it, but my retention was slow, im going to meet with him again for a refresher on the process but thought i would inquire here some and maybe gain some insight.

He rooted and flashed CyanogenMOD10

It runs ClockworkMod , i guess thats the bootloader?

Installed is

ROM toolbox

ROM manager

After a few weeks of messing with CyanogenMOD id like to try other ROM's

Ive emailed the guy who did the original rooting and ROM install and he gave me some direction.

the first was to flash a completely stock version of android 4.1.2 then flash before new ROM.

Ive perused XDA forums a bit but i think they speak in terms less understandable to newbs like me.

Im trying to find this bone stock version of android 4.1.2 to flash for this phone.( or recommendation)

THEN i would like to try a touchwiz based ROM or two.

any suggestions?

Any a more simple explanation of the process using what i have would be great.

The key is i don't want to "ruin" the root so to speak, how do i avoid that?( what causes a phone to become "UNrooted")

Im experimenting basically and trying to learn.

Thanks much for your patience
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
OK well the first thing u need to know is that the "bone stock" 4.1.2 version of this phone is touchwiz, so since u obviously own the phone you've already experienced touchwiz, but to better understand what you want u could pm me and I'll help anyway I can, as far as new Roms the process is quite simple, u should first go get twrp recovery, search Google for "team win recovery project 2.5.5.0 for T-Mobile galaxy s2", then download a program called ”Odin 1.85", connect ur OEM usb cord to computer, u will then need to put your phone in download mode, hold vol up+vol down while connecting to USB, u should see a warning, select continue and wala! Ur phone is now in download mode, now Odin should say "added" , in a box on top u should see COM 5 or something like that, select PDA, it should open folders, select the twrp.tar file u downloaded earlier, click start in Odin, should only take about 2min, u will see a green PASSED in a box above, bam u now have the latest team win recovery, now flashing Roms is as easy as downloading them to ur external SD card, doing a full wipe and flashing whatever ROM u want, like I said if u need help pm me, I'll even give u my phone number and talk u through it, welcome to the flashing community, I love my s2 and continue to flash every ROM I think looks better than my current lol

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

Oh and the actual rooting is very very simple with twrp, it does it all for u clockworkMod is a little outdated and a lot of newer Roms don't like being flashed through clockwork so do yourself a favor and go get the latest twrp, I'll talk u through it all, just hit the thanks button

If i understand corectly the phone is already rooted, correct?

For twrp an alternate would be to download "goomanager" from the play store, open it, press your menu button, select "install open recovery script", confirm yes or no, done! WiFi is recommended.

As for flashing a ROM there is no reason to revert to the stock ROM first. Most ROM threads have installation instructions in the OP right after they absolve themselves of responsibility for your shiny new paper weight should things go south.

It requires a few wipes with your new recovery, installing a gapps package if required and a reboot, easy.

yes the phone is already rooted and i want to make sure i dont UNroot it if possible.

I want to use the method(s) that are MOST reliable and "user friendly" so to speak.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
The only way to "unroot" ur device would be to Odin back to stock using a completely stock tar file in odin, u should be all set with the above mentioned methods, if Odin is not ur thing the def download goomanager from play store, u have to be rooted to use this app so make sure before u waste it time, after u have twrp installed all u need to do after that is download whichever ROM tickles ur fancy, make sure it's a t989 ROM though or ull have a nice stylish paperweight, make sure to do a full wipe and flash away, just make sure u read, read and read some more, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! , and u will be fine, welcome to the community

Ive got Odin 1.85 downloaded.

i did a search for twrp and came across several links back to XDA

and finally came across this page:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2

where i can choose my device, BUT it doesn't list the S2.

so im stuck at finding twrp for a Tmo galaxy S2

Thanks, do i just download the most recent version?

PLUS, i am only seeing .img files..not .tar files( for the most recent versions)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Its there, just download twrp 2.6.6.0 and flash it with Odin, whatever u do don't use goomanager, it will soft brick ur device, here's the screenshot of the site, 2.6 is there in tar form for hercules
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UbinTook:
got it, going to try tomarrow to install it with ODIN.

Is there a defacto "standard" touchwiz ROM i should use? Basically i want the best (stripped of all the Tmobile stuff) version of android 4.1.2 IF there are version with improved radios and other performance tweaks thats fine.

Thanks

Just to double check...its 2.6.0.0 not 2.6.6.0 ( that was a typo in your reply im presuming because i didn't see a 2.6.6

Edit, from you original instructions, i cannot get it into download mode.

Odin says connected in the message box on the lower left

it says 0:[COM8] ( highlighted in yellow) in the row titled ID:COM

i can add the TAR file to PDA, so i tried to "Start" and it says FAIL ( highlight in on of the larger boxes)

Does the fact that this has Rom manager and ROM toolbox and cyanogenMOD 10 already installed present and issue?

Ive Googled download mode for TMo S2 and several places said to power of , and restart folding the volume down/home button but that doesn't work either( to get to download mode)

EDIT: VOLup/VOLdn while pressing power seems to have worked, power up to accept warning, screen now says:

at the top left of S2 screen:

ODIN MODE

Product name SGH T989

Custom Binary Download NO

Current Binary Samsung Official

the the android guy in the middle

and below it it says

DOWNLOADING

Do not turn off target !!

Good to go?( add .tar to PDA and START in Odin)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Yup exactly your good to go and yes sorry about the typo its 2.6, yes once your into DL mode and connected to Odin just press start, Odin will take about 5min to do its thing, do not touch the phone while Odin is working even if u think it's taking to long, don't touch, if u interrupt Odin u will have a bigger headache, not unfixable but def a little harder for an inexperienced user, when she's done Odin will give u a green passed box, then your good to go, just boot into recovery, ( hold vol+vol- and power until u feel herc vibrate then let go of power button but continue to hold vol+vol-) u should see a teamwin screen, from there do a full wipe under wipe/advanced (don't wipe your internal or external storage, just dalvik, cache system, data ) go back to original screen and go into install, find the ROM u want in your storage, select and flash, make sure that if your flashing a asop ROM u flash gaps as well, after flash select reboot system and let herc do her boot process and u will be good, pm me if u need help

He needed to be rooted with a recovery first before he could flash anything, but ur right that's way easier lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UbinTook:
ok, i loaded the tar and hit start.

it only took about 10 seconds for ODIN to give me PASS in the larger box,

Phone rebooted itself and seems to be in normal mode so to speak.

It is unusual that it did this so fast?

Is there a way to test the success without actually changing the ROM?

This is what it says in the message box in ODIN:

Does it matter where on the sd card i place it? IE twrp will let me navigate to where it is?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] noob41:
OK. Personally I can't figure out how, and I quote "does the fact that this has ROM manager and ROM toolbox and cm10 already installed present an issue" means he has to root it. CM 10 on a phone that isn't rooted? Stock Samsung cm10??

The phone that i have was already rooted and ROM'd with CM10 .( by someone else i had do it while i watched)

He installed ROM toolbox and ROM manager and cyanogenMOD 10

It is alos running clokworkMOD

I wanted to go back to a "stock" ROM and was directed to download ODIN and install/use twrp.

Which i have done.

The reason i stated "does the fact that this has ROM manager and ROM toolbox and cm10 already installed present an issue" was just because i was having issue getting into download mode on the phone.

As it sits now, ODIN ran the twrp zip and passed, phone rebooted and is working fine, but still with CM10

I want to now, flash it to de-bloated stock 4.1.2

I am having a bit of an issue finding the actually ROM download in that thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
OK u need to take the ROM link I gave u and DL the ROM, then u need to place the ROM on your external SD card, from there u need to boot into recovery by holding power and vol+vol- until the phone vibrates and turns off, when it vibrates let go of power but continue to hold vol+vol-, a screen will show up wit TeamWin on it, once in the menu it takes u to u need to press backup to make a nandroid of this current rom just incase something goes wrong, a screen should come up with boxes, maje sure data, system, and boot are all checked and slide the bar to the right tp make a backup, now u need to go back to home screen and press wipe, in that selection it gives u an option to select advanced, select advanced, Now u should see a screen with checkboxes, u need to select dalvik cache, data, system and cache, proceed to slide the bar at the bottom of the screen to the right, this will in effect erase all the data on the phone, ROM and all, do this 3x, then return to home screen and press install, this will bring up option to select the file u want to install, go to your external SD card and find the ROM u downloaded from the link I sent u, this will bring up a screen like the wipe screen only this time just slide the bar to the right, the device will now flash the rom to the phone, when finished press reboot and let the phone sit for ten min, first boot will take longer so don't panic, let it sit, after ten min reboot the phone and let it sit again one min, now set it up and u will be on the newest T-Mobile jelly bean 4.1.2

My phone is Galaxy S3 T999 without LTE, and I got very weak T Mobile signal at my home address, 3 bars for 3G and 1or 2 bars for HSPA+.

so my questions are: how does T Moible define 4G? does T Moible count HSPA+ as 4G data? is T999 capable of 4G?

am I wasting my 5GB 4G data plan with my T999 phone?

thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
First, if you look for the thread and its not here, its moved to the Q&A area.

There are a few things you can try to improve your signal.

Toggle airplane mode on then off.

I'm sure you've tried, but Reboot the phone.

Try some different modems. Link in my sig. (There are a lot of them and some will be better than others for your area.)

Try the build.prop tweaks in the modem thread

Finally, call tmobile. If your house is in a location they show to have good 4G, they might give you a signal booster for your home. (Might is the key word!)

HSPA+ is actually considered a 3g tech (3.5-3.75 to be precise) tmobile got away with calking it 4g because they could match other carriers 4g speeds (more or less).

Still, you should be able to pull an average of 12-20mb/s which is pretty sufficient for most needs.

The T999 is capable of truer 4g speeds, but its when using their HSPA+42 tech. If you are in an area that was upgraded with this, you could see averages of 20-30mb/s I'm guessing.

Are you wasting your money with the T999? Only you can really answer that. If they have rolled out LTE in your market, then maybe. But if not, itll be just as good as any other phone you could get from them.

Hope that helps!

Extract the two zip files: i9502-csc-root.tar.zip and i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.zip

Then connect your S4 to pc,and open odin. You should choose CSC for i9502-csc-root.tar.md5 ,pda for i9502-cwm-recovery.tar.md5. Start to flash them.

After that,reboot your S4 to CWM. WIPE the data and cache before install UPADTE-SuperSU-V1.30.zip .
