Is there anyway to get my SGS2 back to the original Kernel and Build number it had? My reason is because I "Flashed" some Chicago ICS and got confused; forgetting to back up all my stuff, it deleted everything it's completely wiped and it left my old SGS2 to poop. I'm have a new one and I didn't Root my new phone, im going to take care of this one.
I just want the Kernel and Build number back to what it was originally. Its a T-Mobile SGHT989. Thx in advance for help!

So you bricked the old one?

Kernel and build number? Was your old one originally GB? The only way those changed is if the new one they sent has the latest ICS update.

Yeah I guess you can say it's bricked, basicly unusable I can't even run Play Store without my phone freezing up.

Pretty sure you can fix it with odin back to stock
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
if your able to get on it, you should be able to get into recovery. Had mine stuck at sign on over and over after adding an app so I went into recovery and was able to fix things. Am sure you can fix it.
Im rooted on stock, I bought ROM Toolbox Pro but cant use any of the features because im on kernel 3.0.8-925100. The main features I'm trying to use are change wifi logo, battery icon and a few other tweaks ROM Toolbox offers. I want to stay stock as possible because I really like the stock rom so I guess my real question is can I flash a new kernel and stay stock and if so whats a good one that will let me use all ROM Toolbox features?

And now I swear this is my last question about flashing anything. Regardless if I done this flash correctly or wrong if I decide to go back to stock how would I do it. I did a google search and found something called fix boot, but that flashed me to something completely different and broke my wifi. I ended up flashing back to what you see in the picture to get my wifi back and now I just don't know how to go back to stock if I decide to.

Im assuming you made a backup before flashing the kernal if so just flash that and you will be back to square one. If not the head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682 and you shoulx find everything you neex to get you back to stock.

You obviously flashed the wrong rom.. JTAG or samsung repair can fix this. I recommend Sending it to samsung cuz its free
I sent off Samsung today 2 day air its free assuming they don't find its rooted. I was excited getting sg3 & didn't realize so many different versions. So long as I flash correct sgh-i747 roms i should be fine right?

Exactly! And the tmobile version is almost exactly the same in terms of hardware so you can flash sgh-i747 for sure, and sgh-t999 you just gotta remember to change the apn if your flashing a tmobile rom. Other then that. You cannot flash international roms or sprint roms or any other variant to this baby. But im sure xda will find a workaround to this. Till then Goodluck and take care of that phone

I would imagine that if they do find out, they'll still fix it for free. I doubt the people actually fixing the devices care too much as it doesn't really make a difference to them whether or not it's rooted. Best of luck!
Wouldn't it be ok if you put in a spare, charged battery, and booted into recovery or bootloader and flashed the right rom?

No, even with a spare battery it is highly doubtful that the device will come back to life. He tried to flash an incorrect ROM to his phone and the phone has shut itself down to prevent physical damage to the circuits. i/e Burn outs. This is one of the MAIN reasons to be sure of what you are doing BEFORE you do it.
Patience is an overwhelming virtue when your thinking to flash a non stock ROM. Read it, understand it, ensure it, then do it but ONLY if you are 100% sure of what you are doing.
Can anyone recommend a stable rom i747 att
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
can any1 recommend what to do with a 6 day old 747 that got water damage everything works but the speaker??
Take the battery out.... And sim card/sd cards.... And put it in rice for 24 hours.... If you have not already fried the speaker/circuitry then this might help.... Rice absorbed it weight in water 10 times over... Or something like that.... Give that a try and see what happens

Its not hard to root or unroot, although its normal to hesitate on potentially bricking anything as expensive as the GNII.
Just remember, you only have to unroot if you have to take the phone back. 70 bucks on an otterbox has me covered for the occasional slip. As far as flashing concerns, theres generally a way to unbrick everything but lets say the modem (which apparently already has a fix) or system is corrupt, the stock roms and triangle away app are available for flashing and reseting counters respectively.

I want to root but scared of bricking it. Ive used twrp in the past and I like it a lot. And I want to try that jedi roms from ptmr. But I just hesitate when I start thinking I might brick it -__- and lose warranty -__-.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I've never went through for warranty for a phone I bought outright but for the last company (virgin mobile) when I went for the warranty, I just unrooted the phone and locked the bootloader and it was fine. I don't think they would go all out to check if you rooted the phone. I forgot if they could check or not, but most of the time (IMHO) they wont. Unless they really don't want you to fulfill the warranty.
Well im willing to root lol stock is slow and it lags -_- and I hear some echo. When im on the phone.
Is this rootable?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
That's rootable. I just re-rooted after the update to LL4 two days ago.
I bought my phone in November, which means it's still under warranty - I've rooted and unrooted and rerooted the phone about 3 times now just to make sure I've got the process down and nothing weird happens to it.
The way I rooted that worked for me was to root using CF auto root through ODIN. Then to unroot, I ran Triangle Away, then unrooted through SuperSU full unroot, and for good measure, I ODIN'd the T-mo stock firmware back on the phone. At the end of that process, I was factory reset back to a clean phone with 0 flash counter and status was normal.
So now I'm rocking an unlocked, rooted, stock rom phone, and I love it.

Option 2 doesn't load a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP). It just roots the phone, but you'll still have stock recovery. If you want a custom recovery, you'll need option 1.Or, flash the custom recovery separately after you do Option 2.
What about option num.3?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Option 3 only works if you're not on baseband LL4. Once you've updated to LL4, the exynos exploit was closed, so if you're still stock uprooted by LL4, then you'll need to do option 2.
If you're still on valk8, then yeah, you can use option 3.

Just make sure you read, read, read. And your prl, being on Boost, will not change. And as long as you have a jb modem(gb27, gb28, or gc01), you'll have data. But if you flash a Sprint rom you'll have to research how to change mmsc in order to send mms. To avoid that, if your wife wants stock, flash a GC01(Boost) rom after you root. Here's mine, deodexed, debloated, and since it's stock, you can build it up to your wife's liking. Good luck, happy flashing:thumbup:

By the way, if you flashed the phone to Boost you're better off just keeping a stock Boost ROM handy.
That way you're not having to mod the MMS settings to get it to work right.
From there you can pick up a custom kernel/recovery and flash away.
(I personally recommend mine but there are others to choose from...)
Welcome and enjoy!
