Telus Samsung Galaxy S II Stock Kernel // TLKJ3 // SGH-T989D
Please note this is for the Telus SGH-T989D not the SGH-T989 T-Mobile variant.
Explanation
What we have here is a stock boot.img pulled from a rooted Telus SGH-T989D (Samsung Galaxy S II).
With this you can recover your phone using ODIN, in the case of a brick or just to return to a factory state.
Initramfs for Developers
I have extracted the boot.img and posted it up for all developers on my github.
Code:
https://github.com/bubby323/stock-initramfs-TLKJ3-galaxysII-telus
Downloads
Also to restore you're phone I have a nice little tar file that will take care of the job for you that you can grab from here.
How to Flash
We are going to be using Odin in this explanation to flash the stock kernel to your phone.
Downloads
First you are going to want to start by downloading all the needed files onto your computer and then place them onto your Desktop.
Samsung Kies
Odin3-v1.85.zip
SGH-T989D-Stock-TLKJ3-Kernel.tar
Process
Once you have everything downloaded and on your desktop, you are going to want to first install kies.
After this is done you should restart your computer for proper driver installation.
Next, extract Odin to a new folder on your Desktop. Leave the tar in the form it is.
Now, open up Odin by double clicking the .exe in the folder you extracted it to.
The most important step is now, you need to put your device into Download/ODIN mode so your computer will recognize it and be able to flash to it. To do this simply turn your phone off completely (or pull the battery). Then you are going to want to use the following button combination to force your device into download mode:
Hold the volume up/down and power button all at the same time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now ODIN should have recognized your device ( it may take a while for the drivers to complete installation so don't panic the first time).
Lastly, we want to click on the PDA button and then search for the SGH-T989D-Stock-TLKJ3-Kernel.tar we download earlier and placed on the Desktop.
If all of the above has taken place you are free to hit the Start button.
Done!
If all has gone well at this point the flash should be proven successful and your phone should reboot like normal.
If so, please feel pressured to give yourself a pat on the back, that was tough!
Is this a new kernel?

This is a STOCK kernel for the TELUS version.
awesome !
thanks guys
Much appreciated guys. Any chance of a stock ROM in case someone ever needs to ship back to Telus?
If somebody wants to test the rom once I upload it then I will release it for everybody. Ill also work on the device report and build you your own Clockwork.

Great work Bubby.... maybe we'll have something to flash later??... Cheers!
Nice, I wonder if theres any differences from our Tmobile stock rom.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
isnt the hardware the same?
i wonder if we can flash telus rom onto tmobile t989..
warning: dont try this if you cant afford a brick!
I flashed the tar file on my tmobile phone. Only thing it did was change my boot animation from tmobile to telus.

its fairly easy. just use odin to flash a rooted kernel and super user, or use it to flash recovery and flash a custom rom.
Does anyone here have the stock modem? Or maybe someone can guide me on how to extract it from the phone?

Oh and btw is there a way of making this kernel rooted. That would be amazing so then we keep everything stock but rooted.

Awesome thanks a lot I will try when I get home tonight.

One more thing would this kernel have cwm recovery built in? I know the tmo has it but again it would be great if this stock kernel would be completed with recovery. Sorry for the many questions I was a very heavy user of bell sgs2 I gotta get used to Hercules now

Hello
I have t989(T-mobile) device.
and, I need STOCK(unrooted) T989D image.
(I have already T989 rooted CWM image by mr.x .
but unroot method not exist)
T989 image is heavy then T989D. So I prefer T989D ICS stock image.
Because, my company security app detect device rooting.
(I can't disable this security app)
If you have this image, could you share to me?
I need this image to CWM image.
Because, my t989 can't flash tar image, it will occur follow problem.

Thanks.
From what I understand you can't flash an unrooted zip file. Mainly because if it's unrooted you can't flash lol. My suggestion is to remove root and update via kies. Atleast that's the easiest simplest way of doing what you want.

No, factory reset only resets current rooted rom. Stock has to be flashed through odin. Unless it's a rooted stock image. Going back to complete stock resets your recovery too...removed root permissions. It's basically starting over

Now that we have the latest official release for the new TouchWiz GB27 4.1.2, I figured I would update this thread for those that have downloaded the update from FL24 to GB27 via Kies.
This guide was written for Sprint devices however the procedure is the same for Boost and Virgin variants of the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. The only difference is the kernel you flash after rooting.
You WILL need to use a PC in order to gain root access
DISCLAIMER
DO NOT USE AGAT RECOVERY TO FLASH ANY AOSP ROM. THERE HAVE BEEN CASES OF HARD BRICKS.
I WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING THAT YOU CHOOSE TO DO WITH YOUR DEVICE. THESE METHODS HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE PROVEN TO WORK. FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS MAY GIVE YOU UNEXPECTED RESULTS.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
How to root with SuperSU
You will need...
Odin3_v3.04
Source built Jelly Bean kernel
SuperSU-v0.97
Stock GB27 kernel zip - optional
SuperSU from the Play Store
1. Using a Windows XP or greater based computer, download and extract Odin to a directory which you are comfortable using. You can extract to your desktop if you want. I personally use my documents folder.
2. Power off then press and hold volume down and power to enter download mode, plug in your USB cable after opening Odin. Click on PDA to select and flash the source built kernel.
3. Download this file and reboot to recovery by pressing and holding volume up and power then flash SuperSU-v0.97.zip
4. After flashing the SuperSU zip, flash the GB27 stock kernel and reboot. This is now optional, the source built kernel works perfectly and can be used as a DD.
5. Download SuperSU from the Play Store.
6. Open the SuperSU app and update the binary.
This method WILL trigger the yellow triangle and increase your flash counter by 1 count.

How to root with Superuser and busybox - similar to garwynn's one click
You will need...
Odin3_v3.04
Source built Jelly Bean kernel
subusybox
Stock GB27 kernel zip - optional
1. Using a Windows XP or greater based computer, download and extract Odin to a directory which you are comfortable using. You can extract to your desktop if you want. I personally use my documents folder.
2. Power off then press and hold volume down and power to enter download mode, plug in your USB cable after opening Odin. Click on PDA to select and flash the source built kernel.
3. Flash the subusybox zip in recovery
4. Flash the stock GB27 kernel in recovery and reboot. This is now optional, the source built kernel works perfectly and can be used as a DD.
This method WILL trigger the yellow triangle and increase your flash counter by 1 count.
____________________________________
One-Click Method
You will need...
GB27 Rooted Nodata
1. Download the Rooted Nodata from the link above.
2. Using a Windows XP or greater computer, open the One-Click package.
3. Power down your phone and then press and hold volume down + power to enter download mode. Plug in your USB cable.
4. Click start.
This method WILL NOT trigger the yellow triangle or increase your flash counter.
You now have root access. Congratulations.
Do you have an ugly yellow triangle after performing one of the first two methods? Do you want to get rid of that and reset your flash counter back to 0?
Chainfire has an app for that!
TriangleAway v2.90 XDA Version
Please consider donating for his work and buy Triangle Away from the Play Store.

If I had the know how, I'd try making a repack. And as far as I know, agat was startinghis computer from scratch due to issues building from source.
If there isn't anything by next week, I'll ask for some help on making repacks.

After rooting with option 1 on OP I've realized on Settings -> About Device -> Status. Device status (all the way at the bottom of section) went from official to custom. Is that Samsung's new addition to find out who's flashing since everybody now is aware and uses triangle away? Lol

My friend is currently running cm10 on her phone and has asked me to make it stock again. She wants root gone completely as well as cwm. What would be the easiest way to unroot this device. If anyone has a thread that can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated. I knew how to do it when it was gb but i haven't messed with this device since then and she is on jb now and I am not sure what I need to do or where the gs2 is actually at with stock kernels. SO much going on i cant keep up anymore haha.

Just flash the .zip if you want to stay rooted or you can odin which sometimes loses root. All you would have to do is flash recovery then flash the .zip with root injected to recover.

Did you Odin back to stock? Or did you flash the .zip? There was two files on that thread I linked you to. The top one was an Odin file. The bottom one was the .zip to flash.
To use Odin DL the file then unzip the .tar and Odin it.

My problem is that my current phone is rooted with the serenity rom installed and my backup isn't found on the phone, even though I did back it up. Does anyone know where I can get the original ics rom to flash back on my phone?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
You have a few options. You can find the stock ROM here: http://samsung-updates.com/
and you can flash it with Odin. This will get rid of your custom recovery too.
Or you can download http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP
which is a nifty program that Samsung put together. Go to Tools > Firmware Upgrade and Initialisation and follow the instructions.
That will find the latest stock ROM for your phone (using the Model and S/N you provide) and flash it for you. This is the same
as using Odin but it can be easier.
Ok thanks dude!
