[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoitsjustin:
So my friend and I both have used Cyanogenmod in the past with no issues. I recently switched to Carbon and am unable to receive her texts because I don't have Whisperpush or because I'm no longer using it or something. I tried installing the APK but I get an error message saying APK not installed. Does anybody know why this is happening? I am able to receive and send texts with other people.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hnkotnis:
APK not installed error comes when that application is not compatible with your phone.You cannot solve it.Sorry to disappoint you, but it is not possible to solve if it is a hardware incompatible issue.You can try a firmware update if it is a software incompatibility.

Using CWM........Busybox Commands........No I use my hands :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoitsjustin:
I figured it was because I wasn't running CM. Is there any way for my friend to text me? I really like Carbon but I'm not gonna stay with it if I can't text my friend.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gasp0de:
Can you install TextSecure from Google Play? You can find the app on Google Play (unfortunately, i am not allowed to post links yet), and it's the same thing as Whisperpush. As far as i know, Whisperpush isn't intended for use on Phones not running CM, but you should be able to text with your friend via Textsecure... I hope i could help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoitsjustin:
Hi. I flashed back to CM and my friend and I both redid Whisperpush but her messages still weren't coming through. I flashed back to Carbon and she was still unable to message me, so we tried using Textsecure but that didn't work either. We've been messaging on Hangouts and since I have Sprint and don't live in the city I have really bad service so we usually can only message when I'm home. It's kind of annoying but hopefully CM will fix this with a future update.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SEAxHAWK:
Any resolution to this??

I bought a One+ in January because my buddy had got one and gave me an invite. I have since moved on from that phone but am still on CM as he is, but I can no longer receive his text but he can get mine...

He is registered with WhisperPush and I am not.

Hi All

I need your helping !!! :? :? :?

I can't change ringtone for incoming call on my dopod 818 Pro at all.

Really don't know why? At first, my phone setting program will see every

ringtone files (mp3,wav,wma) in folder "\Application Data\Sounds\" and

I can change to whatever ringtone I want. But, right now, phone setting

will see only ringtone files in folder "\Windows\" and I can't select any

files other than windows default ringtone. (I have copied some mp3

files into Windows folder too but my phone setting program didn't see them).

Thanks :) :) :)

Put them in the Windows\Rings folder.

EDIT: we need a T989D user to help us! please if you stumble upon this please read and help us out!

it seems like samsung devices have a new method to unbrick when we get QHSUSB_DLOAD when we plug it into the computer.

and it seems like they use the same method but someone has made a debrick.img for their devices specifically, i would love to put up a thread for people for this so we can unbrick our s2's but i dont know how they get their .imgs, i heard that we need someone on a stock rooted rom to be able to make the .img so would anyone be able to show me how to make one of these because i own 3 t989s which i will put one of them to stock if someone can show me how to make the .img.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
You use clockwork mod recovery on your phone and go to "Install .zip from SD card" then you run the "T999_Partial_Sys_Dump_for_debrick.zip" and that gives you the debrick.img to put to your SD card. Get it from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45725480&postcount=45 and if you do, please post it! I need a t989 image.. And don't worry about it saying T999, you can rename it to anything. This is just the script that makes the image, its not hardware dependent.. Only the debrick image is that you make.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
alright cool dude i have been told that this file makes the debrick.img i just didnt know if it would work with the s2 but it looks like other people clarified that i should be able to do that when i get home. i might run into a problem though, my S2 has a stuck power button and when i go into cwm it taps on random things and im afraid it will screw me and somehow brick it (i might just factory reset so there's nothing but it could still hit one of the wrong options) , i need to find a way to get CWM touch on it but i have made a thread and nobody has helped me D: do you think From rom manager i can hit the "Install rom from SD card" option and use it on the Debrick file?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
alright made a debrick.img and tried the method for the s3 and it didnt work :( maybe i did it wrong, heres there .img (im not on a rooted stock, is that the reason why?) mediafires being dumb and couldnt upload there: http://d-h.st/KUD sorry about Anonymous uploader i couldn't find the registration page.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
I think in ROM manager it won't mount the partitions correctly, but I'll try it on this end with the file you posted.

Nope. Doesn't work. I'll look at the image in Linux and see whats in the partitions.

update: Still shows what we got. Try to do it again but in CWM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
sooo what should i do then? should i go back to stock reroot it and redo the flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
Yeah, but from clockwork mod recovery, and rooted stock, like UVLE1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
Would this be what you want me to be on? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1668502 and that .img was from CWM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
No, use uvle1 ICS

http://stockroms.net/file/GalaxyS2/SGH-T989/ICS/SGH-T989_UVLE1_ICS.zip

scroll to the bottom and hit play and use the captcha and get stock ICS.

And that was from CWM? Were you rooted? The file structure looks a lot different.. Maybe the script is extracting from the wrong partition, but I thought the T989 and T989D used /dev/block/mmcblk0 also. Sadly, I don't have another T989(D) to check
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
yeah CWM and rooted. and i heard that we shouldnt flash the stock UVLE1 ics stock because it was bricking other peoples phones?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
From what I understand, that's if you are using 4.3 or higher, but, we're not affected as we didn't get an official 4.3 for this device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
yeah im on CM 10.2 still, i forgot i still needed to get back to stock, also so when i bricked my other T989 does it matter what rom it was on before? or if it was on stock? so i came from Aokp before, for us to unbrick it does the bricked phone needed to be on stock before? what do you think exactly this .img file does? im thinking it runs the drivers from the SD card?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
alright flashed that file in odin, heres the Debrick.img From rooted stock also on CWM like last time :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
hmm. Still doesn't work.. Without having a physical phone to play with, its hard to do it this way.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Trozzul:
Well what else can I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
We need to figure out the partition structure and find the right one with the .PIT file, and try to create a proper 8660_msimage.mbn or debrick.img creation.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
Oh yeah, try to install BusyBox while rooted, and then try it again. I'm still trying to find partition info. So far I have found aboot, amss, boot, cache, mdm, recovery, rpm, sbl2, sbl3, system, tomb, and tz. I'm missing a few and proper flags and such

Also, in play store, when you get BusyBox, also get Android terminal emulator. Then once those 2 things are installed, run BusyBox and use smart install. Once that's done, you can try to do into Android Terminal Emulator and type

su <enter> It'll ask for SuperUser access, allow it. then

busybox dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/debrick.img bs=1M count=128 <enter>

When I say <enter>, I mean press enter. :) Try that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
Okay. We're going a different route. Get this https://mega.co.nz/#!TEthlJYY!cq8cwm3c_ilvZVrGEa9TezmOpIkHbaTgYdctr3bxAl8 Its' from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2136738

Unzip it all to its own folder, say, Backup989

Run python-2.7.3, let it install to default folder

attach the phone

then run backup.bat

It will make another folder in this folder we're in called "Backup" Once this is done, you should have 8 or so files, compress them in WinZip or WinRAR and upload that.

Files in folder should be

aboot.mbn

pitfile.pit

partition0.bin

rpm.mbn

smd_hdr.mbn

sbl1.mbn

sbl2.mbn

sbl3.mbn

and maybe 1 more, compress them all into one file and upload to me.

DO NOT run the debrick file in that archive, that IS NOT for our phones and the sectors for writing are probably NOT the same as ours and will overwrite something else that could be important. (EFS/IMEI/ANYTHING!) Only run BACKUP.BAT
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
Got it. Made a debrick.img manually. Its not perfect and consists of a few messy hacks. I'll fix this up and send you one to try once I look at it and the partitioning in HS-USB 9008 and HS-USB-9006 state. This was a 9008 state, then it was switched to a 9006 state and had 7 partitions. I'll post more in a bit once I get this thing fully running.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lord Zog:
Ok, I still need partition info. After flashing in Odin, it seems to not want to boot. I can get in and out of ODIN, but the partition info is bad. I can't enter recovery, nor boot past the boot logo, not the animation, just logo. SAMSUNG, and the one that says TMOBILE S2.. I still need you to do the backup to get proper .PIT file and partition0.bin to fix MBR and the PIT partition at b0p11. But send all the backup files it makes just incase one of mine is bad. Had to use another source for SBL1.MBN...

UPDATE: Ok. After messing more things and tinkering, I can boot. I can't go to recovery tho, but ODIN works and I want to make sure my partition isn't screwed up and that why I can't get recovery. But we got boot! I'm excited. This things been dead for 3 months, and never bothered to try till now. :)

We need a user with a T989D to do the same as the partition table IS different. Using a PIT from a 989 and ODIN Fail's on the modem/baseband MBN file from a T989D ROM, but using a T989 ROM flashes fine, but then doesn't boot. So, we need partition info from BOTH devices, PIT File, and partition0.mbn/.bin from a T989 and a T989D MBR, as well as the other files (sbl1-3, etc) Then we can properly make 2 debrick.img files, one for T989 and one for T989D as I am using a T989D but using modified SBL1-3 files and ABOOT to get this going.

As you can see from the screenshot, my build is T998DTLUMC4, but my baseband is T989UVMC6. One is telus, one is T-Mobile. :(

T989D brick.img

Does anyone have the brick.img file for the t989d. I tried the link a few posts back and its dead. I bricked my s2 when computer i was using malfunctioned and I do get recognized on computer and in odin but device wont boot completely into download mode I get the firmware upgrade encountered an issue after pressing volume up. I have read the entire thread and have used dbrick images before on s3's but this seems to be a bit different. Do I follow the same procedure as the t989 with the image file substituted from the t989d or are their differences.But if anyone has a link to it or has it could I get it from you thanks.I will attempt to make my own but any help is most welcome just to make sure I am doing it right. :D At the time I bricked it I had fixed the charge data port as it wasnt reading data. The fix worked and i could read files from phone and odin recognized it plus download worked. I should have left it there had I known my LAPTOP was about to screw upbut wanted a fresh new image on the phone. And the flash went great until the last few seconds when computer got extremely hot and slow and those few seconds took forever .It said success but upon disconnecting and rebooting it failed.
