Hey everyone - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I just wanted to introduce my self to the SGSII forum. Finding a way to root this phone was very easy and i give my thanks to all who have put effort into making this possible. I had the epic 4g from sprint but the service was terrible so i made the change. So far i like it. I was just curious what the newest modems were and if there was a thread that is directly linked to them. Also i have heard about 3g turbo charger does anyone have any input on it. Thanks a head of time and im glad to be joining everyone!

Uvkl1 is the best modem for our area. Not sure if the link for the cwm flashable is still good though.... 3gturbocharger setting 5 has worked wonders for me.

yeah if it is complete i could certainly use it
Would we be able to pull the eg30 modem from it? I am on eg12 and I keep missing calls when my Screen is off.
Thanks.

Kk guys, uploading to megaupload now...this is definitely gonna take a while
It should be a complete phone image, writing over every partition (as is the case with all Samsung tars)...there's definitely a modem in it, but as far as pulling it, I don't know, I'm not knowledgeable enough about pulling things out of tars.
I'm going to put a link in here first before posting it up in development because I need somebody to test it in Odin. We use a pre-packaged .exe here to flash phones, so Im not able to test it with Odin (though I can't foresee it failing as the tars have always been identical to the ones we use here at xda). So when it's up, please test and let me know.
Hang tight for a while, megauploads quoting the ETA at 2 hours....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
I think it would definitely be cool to upload this for us. Easy way for everyone to flash back to factory. Might even root now if this is the correct stock file.
Actually scratch that ETA, our neighbors wifi is too slow, I'm gonna have to wait until I get home at 6. So sometime tonight

I'm also on eg12 and I was missing texts and calls when the screen was off.
Download the app always awake from t2k269 from the market, that app fixed my problem.

More importantly, this theoretically has the EG30 modem, something we don't have right now and no one has been able to obtain yet. Everything else we can make do with the pulled versions.
Love to have this simply as a back up as well until the next official tar is out. Thanks for when you get this up. And thanks for mirroring it Chris.
this is great news
thanks op!!
I want the modem

[STOCK] [DUMP] SGH-i727 Skyrocket 2.3.6 UCKK1 system

Here is the OTA from the Skyrocket, its Android 2.3.6. It will work for our phone as is, but will need some att stuff in settings gone. Probably as simple as using our setttings.apk, idk. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH THIS, its just a dump. For the devs, if they dont already have it.
DUMP
Thanks bro.

Just did. Its gonna be more work than I thought. Endless fc's. The devs will definitely be able to use it though.
And, now that I think about it, this probably wont do us much good. Ill see if I can get those guys to deodex it for me.
xultimate deodexes without being connected to the phone now thats awesome
won't we need a conversion package , same like the skyrocket need's for our's ?
Thanks for posting, but it's incomplete.

The "conversion" is their kernel. That's it.

Out of curiosity i flashed one of their roms. No major issues if i flashed jugs kernel except downloading apps from the market causes a reboot. Doesn't do that on their kernel but screen rotation is weird with theirs

What is a modem?

I keep reading about this modem thing but what exactly is it? And do I need it?
Its the radio firmware for the phone, and yes you will need it if you want your phone to function properly.
it's found between mode L and mode N
kidding aside, it's the actual part of the phone that makes it a phone.. without it, you have the sprint epic touch galaxy s 2 doorstop (well, android would still work, but no calls/texts... it'd basically bad a 4.5" tablet)
So why do people switch em?

Various reasons..
-To try and fix issues
-To return to stock
-Because they just have to be on the latest (but not always best) revision
I would love to hear feedback about which modem people feel is giving the best performance. My signal seems the most consistent on EL13

Just received the ICS update prompt. Is it safe to do so being on Boost?
So you are a boost customer and got ics ota notification? That can't be bad.

Yes on boost service and received ota ics notification update.

Im not familiar with the process to flash to boost but whats even better is you guys now have ICS rom leaks specific to boost now
Not a boost user but have seen posts from users where flashing / updating doesn't wipe settings.
If it would, then theoretically a nandroid would take you back.

Anyways from what I have found is that no rom I have flashed on this phone has messes up the radio settings where all the carrier settings are stored. You should be fine. But that being said flash at your own risk ha.
