Download the files with computer, not the phone. Downloading on the phone often corrupts the file even though it says it downloaded successfully. Just unrar it and rename it to update.zip
I don't know which card the stock recovery uses, so I would remove any sd card you might have in the phone. Copy the file to the root directory of the internal card. Boot into stock recovery and choose the update.zip choice.
This was received on a stock ek02 not rooted phone. This will most likely break root if you have it on ek02.
Just upload it somewhere.
Is this the official update? I'm not rooted and I haven't been able to get the ota. When ek02 was leaked we were able to rename it to update.zip and flash from stock recovery.

I just md5'd the two modems, the flash and the update, and they are the same.
Yes, this is the official. Rename to update.zip and put in the root folder of the internal sd. I would pull the other sd card out just in case if you have one. Boot into stock recovery and choose the update thingy. I highly doubt if you go to el29 that you will be able to root in the future. You'd be better off odin el29 then with autoroot, flash the el29 cwm recovery.
What's the total size of the zip after unzipping. Downloaded the files not sure what program to use to join them

winrar
If you google it, choose the one for rarlabs
24mb in size (the update)
So this update prevents root eh? **** I'm afraid of Odin lol I'm used to htc and unrevoked!

You're better off downloading patches, roms and anything that you flash the phone with on your computer and not the phone. Many times, even though it says the download was successful on the phone, the file can be corrupted and flashing it could really bork things up.

If you can read and follow directions then you shouldn't have any problems. Just a tip, when you are flashing with Odin, don't move the computer, USB cable or the phone. If the cable momentarily loses connection while flashing.... You will have a mess on your hands. It's not hard, just follow directions.
I am stock unrooted and if I install this update, will I still receive the OTA update? Also how do I go into recovery after i've downloaded the files?

That is my same concern. So if you do the OTA update then you are prevented from rooting the phone. Now why would Sprint do that. If I am not mistaken on all the other updates you were not prevented from rooting but in EL29 you are.
Am I wrong in this thinking?
I used the auto update and root method ( non odin ) and it worked great when I upgraded to EK02.
If I am correct that Sprint is now preventing root then they have a reason to this. Does Sprint have something to hide now.
In the autoroot post, it said after a certain release there isn't a root for it because the exploit was plugged. If you're impatient and want the ota early and you have no intentions of rooting in the future, then use it. If you want root and el29 then get a custom rom or the stock rooted flash or the odin flash.

I came from multiple HTC phones too and using sfhub's stock rooted was beyond easy. He has one that preserves your data, like doing an upgrade, and one that wipes everything. I wanted to start over so chose the one that wipes everything, but regardless the process was simple. Extract the file, double-click, put the phone in download mode, plug it into PC, hit start in Odin and watch it do it's thing.
His directions are simple to follow. As long as you can read and go step by step, there is no reason you can't have it installed on your phone in a few minutes.

Not sure why people are afraid of not being able to gain root after allowing the EL29 OTA. Simply use odin and flash the root with cwm and bam you're rooted with no data loss whatsoever. Or just do as others have said and use the EL29 auto-root that fshub has created. Either way you can easily have root. I was on stock EK02 then i allowed the ota EL29 and rooted without a single hitch. So i'm thinking EL29 IS rootable.

So this must mean we can flash fash back to stock with odin if we have problems.
yup! this is our fall back ROM. now we need a triangle away to reset the counter!
It Works
I decided to be the test monkey on this one.
I had a nandroid backup of when I screwed my system so badly it just boot looped repeatedly. Restored that with cwm, verified it was still hosed, unpacked this zip, used odin to burn the .tar.md5 to the phone as PDA, rebooted.
It does some gear chunking while booting the first time then reboots - don't panic yet! On second boot it does some more rebuilding, then 'WELCOME!'
Bonus: CWM now sees the actual external sdcard as /sdcard and can find things like roms and backups on it. Edit: This CWM finds .zips on the sdcard, but doesn't seem to know how to backup/restore.
So is this for un rooting our phones?

After burning this with Odin I ended up with a CWM that I didn't expect - and I've never seen one that actually recognized the external card. However, with all the things I've been trying it's quite possible I ended up burning a boot image I forgot about. I need to try reburning this and see if anything changes, but can't do it right now.

Mine stock is T999UVLEM, whats the difference between the two?

Strange - I had kind of a weird experience with this. I flashed via Odin as usual (as I've done a 100x before) and when it rebooted, it still had remnants of the previous rom I had installed. I didn't get the "welcome" screen as if I was starting from a new factory rom. but at least it got me back to step 1 and I could flash the Lean 2.1 rom again to repair my screw ups.
I'm having an issue with my t989 that has persisted since I stopped using Kang's ROMs and the Bullet Kernel.
After going from the Juggernaut ROM to Darkside's ICS when it came out, my phone started to not be recognized by any computer, be it OSX or Windows. I've tried everything on the PC software side, from clearing Kies and the Samsung Drivers, as well as clearing registry information and re-installing both separately, and this has not helped at all. The windows error is:
Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
I don't use antivirus, and I don't use a firewall, suffice to say I'm a programmer and have plenty of experience in doodling with phones, and I'm stumped. I've come to the conclusion that the Bullet Kernel installed from my Juggernaut days is the cause of the issue, as I repeated the process on a friend's device and he has the exact same symptoms.
With this situation, I'm not able to access ODIN to return to complete stock, so I can't flash over the Bullet Kernel. Alongside the USB device not recognized problem, I also was not able to get into ODIN / download mode until I made my own USB Jig to get around it.
Is there any way to get back to the stock kernel without ODIN? Would Mobile Odin Pro work if Chainfire added support for our device? It's really pissing me off as I'm a software developer and can't use my own device to build to.
EDIT: As a note, when moving from Juggernaut / Bullet to Darkside, I flashed the appropriate ICS radio and kernel, but when returning to 2.3.5 stock from Samsung, somehow the Bullet kernel managed to persist.
edit: nvm you answered my question.
Im not aware of a way to unroot without Odin Can you get into recovery?

There is still a way to get back to the Stock ROM ( 2.3.5 ) and Recovery, but the kernel flash was not included with the package:
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-unroot-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
This is apparently the "Zedomax" unroot that does not need the ability to hook up to Odin, so needless to say, it's not unrooting that I need, it's getting back to the stock kernel that is the problem.
Obviously now that I'm unrooted, there really isn't a way for me to install Mobile Odin Pro even if I had it. I've been looking how to contact him to request it, because I don't want to be rude and PM him the request when I'm sure that's not the way that respected XDA members would want.
Can I ask why you think the kernel alone isn't being overwritten? That seems odd to me, since every ROM packs its own kernel, and flashing a kernel specifically only replaces the kernel. So if you flash an ICS ROM you're getting an ICS kernel, GB you get a GB kernel, etc. It wouldn't work otherwise. If you haven't done it already, you might want to try Darkside super and cache wipes.

Well, for one, I get a Bullet loading screen... Apparently reading through other threads, it's a known issue that Zedomax's Stock ROM method doesn't include the kernel, which basically means I may have f'ed myself permanently seeing as how I can't get ODIN access. Unfortunately, galaxys2root.com didn't tell people on their site that it didn't include the kernel, so needless to say, I'm never going to that site again and I would advise people not to follow any of their stuff either.
Although it's a small omission, their lack of providing information has just caused me to possibly lose a moddable phone.
EDIT: the threads that I've been reading through are the ones you supplied, RTFOP
So can you not get into download mode or get your computer to recognize your phone in recovery? If you're willing to tinker some you can back track and root and reinstall and overwrite that kernel and then circle back.

Well, to re-hash over what I've said already for clarification's sake:
1. I can get into download / ODIN mode
2. I still CANNOT get my phone to recognize in recovery. I know it's not my PCs, it's the phone, and I suspect the Bullet Kernel as it was not reverted back to the stock kernel when I flash Zedomax.
With that said, I don't see how it's possible for me to root and get CWM seeing as how I'm on stock Recovery (3e), and I can't ODIN. Unless there is a untethered way to root the t989, I think i'm up ****'s creek.
At what point did you lose root access though?

The whole point of flashing Zedomax's .zip is to unroot and go back to stock Samsung 2.3.5.
Just to verify, I downloaded root checker and it states I do not have root access.
So if you can get into Odin with your jig workaround, why can't you load a custom recovery and super user and then run Darkside wipes and install whatever ROM you want?

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding between you and I. When I say I can get into download / Odin MODE, that means I can force the phone itself into ODIN Mode, but since my computer does not recognize my t989, the ODIN application on my windows box does not recognize the phone, and the ID box does not 'turn yellow' as it should if my phone were recognized by my PC.
So even though my phone is waiting for the ODIN application on my windows to send it commands, I can't send it commands because the application won't recognize the phone.
Thus is my quandary.
Yeah, sorry, I didn't get that. Have you tried plugging it in without the sd card in? It's kind of a long shot, but errors on there might be keeping your computer from communicating with the device, since it seems to be working otherwise. Maybe the jtag repair service through mobile tech videos?

What you can do is download with your phone an original Rooted OTA of FI27 make sure it goes to your external SD card. Rename that zip file to "update' and make sure you keep the .zip extension and then boot into recovery. Go to install update from SD card and go through the steps. It will install the full FI27 ROM with stock recovery. It will be rooted. Then you can go to the play store and get an app called OTA Root Keeper. Use that to keep your root while you update back to FL24 and then restore root with the same app. No computer needed. Also, you can use a fully stock no root OTA of FI24 and then use exynos abuse to root with.
As always, make sure you back up all the crap you want to keep.
Or you can get a full OTA FL24 zip file that is rooted and then do what I said before in reference to downloading it on your phone, making sure it is on your external sd card, re-naming to 'update' and then going into recovery to flash it.

Oh... Grab mobile odin. Either through here or the market. Preferably the the market. Yeah it's a paid app, but it's worth it.
In the link, grab the ota/stock ROM you want in the '.gz' format. You will need to extract the file inside it to flash through mobile odin. It will not flash the modem. You can grab the modem from The website I linked though. Make sure you have at least 50% battery or it won't flash and your phone will just reboot.

You can thank DocHoliday77 for his hard work here, all I did was edit the build.prop and repackage with multiboot. Download link below.

-System image, with build.prop edited to accurately reflect our device.
-multiboot 2.12 recovery image (for those who don't know, it's TWRP 2.7 with the added ability to boot other ROMs in a sandbox)

It does yeah, but I tried it without the md5sum and it failed as well, just after nand write start. On the download here the md5 check fails because the binary is supposedly invalid.
The system image was made by running mkfs-yaffs2-x86 on the system folder from the original port zip, running unyaffs does unpack it, but something is definitely not right with this image, I tried using unpack-ext4 on windows which usually works on odin system images but it didn't on this one.
Making an odin flashable isnt a straight forward process for the S3 it seems. MrRobinson is the only one I know of off hand that has an effective process to do so. He only gives clues to his process in his op. Ive done one a long time ago, but I think what I had to do was take tar the system.img dumped directly from the device using the dd command.
If I remember right, it had to be done immediately after flashing, been too long though so I cant remember for certain.
So if I am recalling it correctly, flash the rom, factory reset, then while still in recovery, using either adb or the built in terminal emulator, use dd to dump the image to your sd card.

Not sure as I cant read your language, sorry. But one part says its LI1 and another says ND3. First, the bootloader/firmware version MUST be a 4.3 build.
Second, what is the ND3? Is that some sort of test build? Or did I miss something somewhere?
Does it fail at the md5 check?

It's a Stock 4.3 bulid from Telcel, Mexico, in SamMobile says this:

Ok, thanks for the clarification on that. Once its confirmed working, you should be able to flash it just fine. If that baseband is not 4.3 though, you will likely have to update it as well.
For now though, you can always just flash the rom this was built from. Should get you exactly the same thing, only the method is different.
