Did you say that Odin recognize your phone or doesn't recognize it? If Odin recognize your phone then your definitely in luck.

Now you have to get the original unrooted factory rom .tar file and restore your phone back to factory. Your phone is just soft bricked so you are very lucky. Use google or the xda search feature and look up something along the lines of "SGH-T989 .tar file" or "T-Mobile Galaxy S II tar". The exact file you need is floating around here somewhere.

r u talking about the sgh-t989-stock-recovery.tar? i have tried that but get stuck on setupconnection

There is no stock rom tar file for our phone yet. We only have a kernel and stock recovery tar.
You can't get into recovery?
This phone is a BEAST!

what is the proper way to get into recovery. my phone wont do jack right now.

Honestly I haven't done this yet with the GS2, but I've done it a million times with a Vibrant I once owned. I'm gonna look it up right now and see what I find. This should be a pretty easy process. The best part is that at least your phone isn't completely bricked.

First do a battery pull, then put the battery back into the phone, hold both the up and down volume rocker and press the power button till the phone vibrates (letting you know its been turned on), soon as the phone vibrate then release the power button but do not let go of the volume rocker until you see the recovery image! Once you see the recovery image you are easily back in business. Let me know if you can at least get into recovery.

btw guys i backed up my stock rom with nandroid.md5

What ROM did you guys install? Few questions. Did you guys install Samsung drivers. If not install through kies or from the development section here and reboot computer. Then put in download mode and wait for comp. to recognize phone again. try entering recovery and flash a basic stock ROM from dev section. See if that works.

[Q] Is it possible to go fully stock with out using Odin??

the tittle says it all. i want to go stock to take it back to sprint. b/c my phone is defected. my phone cant tell when its connectedto my computer.. it just keeps charging and never gives me an option to use the usb mas storage. yeah i tried changing cables, using different computers, disable usb debugging, tried different roms, tried going to recovery and mounting my storage. nothing works.. my phone works perfectly with a custom rom. however, I cant connect to my computer.. my phone is not bricked it just wont connect to my computer. so im trying to go back fuclly stock with out using ODIN.. (FORUM PLZ HELP)

Not sure why you have 2 threads about the same thing.. but anyways..
You might want to try out Mobile Odin
https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro
It's $3.99, but well worth it.. I think anyone messing with custom ROMs and rooting their phones should have this just in case.

I'd actually like a youtube tutorial on this same process. Mobile odin confuses me a bit after using pc odin for years on my vibrant.

You can technically create an update script to flash via CWM and flash everything but the bootloaders...
there are some more advanced ways to flash bootloaders manually.. but I wouldn't recommend it unless you REALLY know what you're doing.. You can brick your phone, so it's not even worth it. I'm not sure they can even see the bootloader version anyhow, so it doesn't really matter.

Flash a stock rom without root, flash a stock kernel, wipe data and everything to factory default and reboot.

You don't need root access to flash the kernel, since you would still be on custom recovery. So yeah flash a stock unrooted rom, then proceed to flash a stock kernel with stock recovery.

Or if for some strange reason it doesn't work in that order just flash the stock kernel first (it won't change until you reboot) then flash the stock rom without root.

So the only close enough to stock rom that i found is this one should i use this one ????? damme this is a headache http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1415924

You could also use terminal emulator on the phone and run the script from sfhub thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728) to install stock EG30+stock recovery, and run unroot script straight from the phone. Then just use file explorer to delete the 000root directory.
Since your phone wont recognize the computer you can always copy the files over by using a sd card reader.

So i went to the sprint store...and i told the tech support guy that my phone was not connecting to my computer and he took a quick look at my phone and said did you rooted??? and i frozed and he continued, if you rooted your phone then thats the problem. i told him that it was more of a hardware issue not a software...he wasnt even paying attention to me.. he just said stop messing with the phones if u dont know how to how to fix them.. i was so madd i felt like throwing him my phone at his face.. but then i thought to my self.. my phone is not messed up.. it just doesnt recognize my phone.. plus i got the XDA community..

Wow... i just even did a dial code hard reset of the phone and i'm still having the same issue --- ughhhhhh frustrating

Just take your phone into sprint with it rooted. The first thing they will do is return it to full stock to see if that solves the problem. Sprint's policy is to service all phones rooted or not. Just expect it unrooted when they hand it back.

Am I bricked?

I was recovering my backed up stock rom( came from cm9) and I received an error saying "format rfs device failed on system" or something to that effect while trying to restore it. Once that happened, the back was off, and the battery came out so I tried to boot back into recovery....I get the SAMSUNG logo, soft key lights come on, phone goes black, then back to the samsung logo.
I cannot boot into recovery, do a normal boot, all I can do is download mode. Where should I go from here?

You went from bml to mtd... you CANNOT RESTORE BML NANDROIDS ON MTD. Please read bout things before flashing things.
On a helpful note.. you will need to unbrick your device by odining back to stock. Give me a second and ill link you the how to. If you feel incompetent then I offer unbricking services if you would like via teamviewer7.
Also you don't post questions in general... there is a q&a forum for questions.

Hmm I'm not really sure but I'm almost positive all of the current ROMs contain a kernel with root. You could flash CWM through Odin and then flash a ROM or a BML kernel if you plan on staying stock and you'll be rooted. I'll get you a link to a CWM tar here in a sec.
EDIT: flash this in Odin after you get back to stock:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357655
You'll find the link further down in the post for the .tar file. If you want to go to CM9/AOKP/other MTD TW ROM, most of them will automatically flash the MTD compatible CWM. This one that I linked is for BML ROMs only.
Hope this helps!

once you odin back to stock and root, just flash a zip version a bml deodexed rom. there is stock fc09 deodexed that is bml. make sure you have repartition checked and don't forget to include the pit file in odin before you start the process. also make sure you do not use the stock cable that came with the phone. use a blackberry data cable if you have one available. others wise something similar.

I believe re partition auto checks when you put the pit file in. But either way make sure its checked. I forgot it once and it wasn't pretty

I even try to use the USB unbrick JIG solution and nothing
My batter is at 4.045V and I am not able to get anything, my screen is completely BLACK
Is there something I might try or some way to get this cell-phone into DOWNLOAD MODE so I can save it?

Since you can get into Odin mode, grab a stock one click and get back to a working state.
Just go to the Dev section, stock rom repo and a full restore one click..

I don't think you're following the instructions correctly that MoHo gave you.
Go to the REPO. Select a One-Click Full Restore. Those have to be run from you PC.
Put your phone on the charger and turn it off.
Download and extract the One-click.
Launch the OneClick
Make sure you phone is charged to over 60%.
Get you phone into Download Mode - Power + Volume Down then Volume up to confirm.
THEN Attach it to PC and it should show up in the One-Click on some COMM port.
Click start and let it finish till it reboots your phone.
Then go back and read a whole lot more about what you're trying to do. Or yes you will brick your device.

Ok.
That issue, versus what we thought were the issues from the start, doesn't seem like what you flashed would have been the cause.
I'm not doubting that you believe that you're doing the flash process wrong, I'm doubting that the flash process is actually happening.
When you used the stock One Click, what did you use and what did you see?

To get the battery charging you may need to flash a kernel.
I would try just that in Odin - FL24, for example - and see if that helps.

[Q] note two recovery please help

I rooted my At&t Note 2 with 4.2.2 and it seemed to work fine. Then when I went to get the gapps put on for the google software I ran into an issue. Since I was dumb and didnt create a recovery spot first I have nothing to go back to. Right now my phone is stuck in the "android system recovery" screen where the android guy is laying on his back with a red sign over his open stomach. I have tried to just hit wipe and to reboot it but all it does is restart the phone and bring me right back to the screen. What do I do please help!!! Is it possible to download someone elses recovery and apply update from my SD card??

You need to use Odin to install a recovery. ..and a rom...
You are currently in limp mode. ..
Be careful. ..you are 1 step away from a brick. ..
Go to the development section and study up with ODIN. ..then prepare the PC to run it. ..
Once Odin functions...prepare the device. ..
Your goal is first a working recovery. .. (TWRP or CWM)....

I don't think so, you're going to have to find out why odin isn't recognizing your device. Maybe Gregg can chime back in but until he does I would suggest re-downloading the sammy drivers and see if that helps.

Are you putting your phone in Download Mode ? Turn off phone, hold down the HOME key, Volume Down and Power Button. You should boot into Download mode, this is what you should be in order to use Odin. Then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 to return you to stock or flash a custom recovery if you like to stay in a custom rom.

Agreed. ..
If the device drivers are correct. ..and Odin can't see the device. ..then Kies is a last resort. .
You should also try another cable as well. ..
Cables must be OEM...or of the same quality. ..and for the same device. .
If these attempts fail. ..continue to try again. ..
The device isn't dead...and if download mode exists...You will beat this issue. ..
Never give up. ..just keep at it. ..g

If Odin can't see your device it only means one thing you don't have proper drivers for it. Reinstall drivers and try again, as long as you can access download mode you are good.

Could be just a bad flash as long as imei is not showing null or weird number which a sign of corrupted imei /efs. Seen it happen before when I flashed att with modem included. All I had to was flash correct firmware and it correcter my baseband and imei.
