I'm using the radio and twrp download from the OP.

I did that option and it finally wiped the preload so thanks for that! ..But it still fails flashing a 4.4 rom, I installed pro-bam 4.3 fine

edit: the twrp log reads unable to open zip

sorry for derailing the thread.

Ok, now it sounds like you might either being getting corrupt downloads or your sd card is causing corrupt file, make sure you download the MD5 file too, then when you goto flash TWRP will verify the file and say onscreen in TWRP if it's bad or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jukiewalsh:
ROM | OFFICIAL | AlpineRom 4.4.2-beta.05 | LINARO 4.8 | Hercules | T989/T989D...

I thought that too and tried redownloading and also I put it on the internal sd card. where does the md5 need to be placed? and I tried switching to the cwm listed and same thing happens there too.

edit: but 4.3 rom's flash fine so I think it's something recovery related maybe?

---------- Post added at 11:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 AM ----------

I'm downloading from my PC and then transferring over to the sdcard, is that okay?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
Place the *.md5 in the same location that you put the *.zip, and downloading to pc first and moving to phone is fine.

Also it can't hurt if you haven't already tried this, in TWRP goto wipe and then advanced and check all except internal/external sd and preload, then wipe.

If you still get error when flashing, and it's not corrupt download, the next step I would try is to flash TWRP using Odin in download mode, make sure you have the .tar file for that, don't use the twrp *.zip.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jukiewalsh:
still no dice, I wiped everything including formatting the internal sd card. I'll try Odin later tonight when he gets home and see how it goes, thanks for all the help!

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

I'll just pm you to keep the thread clean if that's easier, I'm going to Odin to whatever the latest stock is, and then reroot and install twrp and redownload everything and then put it all on the internal sd card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
If you do go back to stock rom, make sure once you Odin flash TWRP to do a full wipe including preload(settings and check that one box for it) before installing a 4.4 rom.

Here is the Odin flashable TWRP *.tar

My guess on all this is, at some point you installed a 4.3 rom using a non-compatible recovery such as 2.6.0.0-, even though it appears to flash and work fine (sometimes) it usually ends up with corruption of the file system at some point, back when 4.3(cm10.2) first came out this was pretty common and some bricked their phone over it too, the only way to fix was usually to Odin back to stock and start over - if that's not the case I'm not sure what else could of caused this issue.

Need some help... Phone doesnt charge with the stock kernel that came with the Rom... But it does with Uber... What is causing it? I wanna stick with the stock one since it feels smoother for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
That's strange, nobody has reported issues with charging with the stock kernel, did you dirty flash this rom when you first tried it?, I'd suggest doing a full advanced wipe if you came from another rom - if using TWRP check all in advanced wipe except internal/external sd and preload.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
No call sound issues here, have you enabled noise suppression in the phone settings?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
That is really strange, do you by chance have Trickster mod installed?, I'm wondering if you do, if it is trying to do something with kernel that isn't supported and messing with charging.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fdavila17:
Yes i have it installed.... Should i just uninstall it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
Yep it's worth a shot, I haven't used Trickster in a long time, does it have a reset to default? might want to do that first before uninstalling it.

Trickster isn't need with this rom, unless for example you wanted to disable sweep 2 wake - which is enabled by default.

The normal tips are disable stuff you don't use or need running all the time, such as NFC, GPS, Bluetooth, Mobile data, Wi-Fi etc.

Are you sure you don't have an issue with going into deep sleep?, some usb charging cables are known to cause our device to not sleep properly after a charge. I'd suggest to fully charge device and then after unplugging, reboot phone and see if you still experience poor battery life.

After CM his stable since this is based off that. Not sure that will ever happen, but I suppose it's still possible.

CMs comment about supporting the OnePlus One for two years doesn't bode well for us though. If they only support that for two years, devices that weren't built with CM in mind don't stand a better chance of support beyond two years. Our Herc is about 6 months past 2 years. It's had a good run.

I really love this room so much... I mean I love it.

this is how it looks like after i record a video.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
That feature I did have in a build which I never released (didn't upload) way back in Jan, here is the reason I ended up removing it from future builds, I agree with what is stated there - and issue if the screen was off and you received call, it would show original call/dismiss dialog instead of the non-intrusive dialog.

It's a feature that I would like to add back at some point, but that wont be until the code is changed - I keep an eye on OmniRom source which is where non-intrusive call code originated from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
Please see 'Known Issues' section on page 1, if you follow what is there, you can record and playback without a problem, it's 'very' important to set video size and close/restart camera for video to record properly, also note the orientation limits for anything other than 720p.

I just fully tested all video recording/playback with current build and all is functioning as described in known issues.

By instruction:

1) You must use a Jellybean Radio: T-Mobile or Telus

2) You must use TWRP 2.6.1.0 or CWM 6.0.3.7+ recovery or you will boot loop!

Currently, I have TWRP 2.4.4.0 and on stock Android 4.1.2 (Baseband version: T989DTLMC4)

My question are:

1) How do I know that I am using a Jellybean Radio: T-Mobile or Telus?

2) How to upgrade to TWRP 2.6.1.0 or CWM 6.0.3.7+ recovery?

3) After upgrade to above requirements, can I just followed by Installation instructions below:

- 1. Download ROM and MD5 file to verifty during flash!. Please no mirrors.

- 2. Reboot into recovery.

- 3. Please back up your ROM before you begin!.

- 4. If coming from previous build of AlpineRom, skip to step 6 and dirty flash.

- 5. Wipe System, Data, Cache, Dalvik, Android Secure, and (Preload if coming from stock rom).

- 6. Flash the ROM.

- 7. Flash the 4.4.2-compatible GAPPS (updated 03-01-2014) and MD5 - these are also ART-compatible.

- 8. Wipe Cache, Dalvik

- 9. Reboot (expect a long 3-5 minute first boot).

-10. Let it sit for 10mins then reboot and setup.

At fifth step it said: "Preload if coming from stock rom", what does that means?

Thank you all for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
Answers:

1) Go to System Settings > About Phone and look under Baseband Version. It should have UVMC6 in it if it's T-Mobile latest or TLMC4 for Telus (it looks like you're on Telus with the T989D, and your baseband is TLMC4 so you're good here).

2) Search the forum for the TWRP thread. There is a TWRP 2.7 in a flashable zip somewhere there, likely towards the end of the thread.

3) Yes, just follow the flashing steps in the OP. All of the wipe options are under Advanced in TWRP. Just be sure you don't accidentally wipe your internal or external SD cards here. Preload is included here. I always wipe Preload, coming from stock or not, but I don't know much about it either.

Good luck and happy flashing.

I download TWRP from play store but it say not support.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768142

1) Install TWRP Manager from the Play Store

2) Open TWRP Manager and provide root permissions

3) Hit Advanced->Install Recovery

4) Verify the correct device name on your screen then press Install Recovery if the correct device is showing

Then I go to http://www.teamw.in/project/twrp2 , under "Find TWRP for your device" is say "No results found for sgh-t989d."

Find this after search:

Don't use TWRP 2.6.3.0 on T989/T989D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
Here is a link to a flashable zip for TWRP 2.7.0.0

Boot to recovery and flash that and then reboot to recovery again, then follow the rom flash instructions.

Note I have not tested TWRP 2.7.0.0 so I'm not sure if it still has the issue with 'wiping preload' that 2.6.*.0 has, if you get an error wiping preload, go to main menu in TWRP and then into settings and put a check on 'use -rm rf instead of format', then go back to advanced wipe and wipe preload, you can go back again and uncheck that setting, it's not needed for other partition wipes.

This is usually the case. When you dirty flash a ROM you usually have to flash gapps again. The ROM probably has a script that wipes the system partition, which wipes gapps away. Your ROM settings are stored in the data partition, so would survive a system wipe.

În rom toolbox, first use the scripts to mount / rw (read-write) so you can write your changes to the memory. Then either use the built in build.prop editor, search for LCD density and edit the numeric value to your liking, or manually find build.prop with a file manager and edit it with an editor of your choice.
