If you're running stock, then you can just plug the phone into Kies and it should recognize it. What you could also, but would probably wipe you data, would be to flash it in ODIN http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391174

if you are talking about the official one
you can even do it from Kies
if you do it from Odin, then make sure you have Odin downloaded and installed
then make sure you also download the tar, or zip or rar of the 2.6.3 stock for T989
then put the parts accordingly in Odin, and hit Start
done

Would Rerooting help?

So somehow someway my phone is on the "Galaxy S 2 Yellow triangle with exclamation mark" screen and wont boot up.
I simply wiped factory reset, and dalvik ( coming from Caulks Rom ) and then flashed Blazer Rom 3.7 and it never went past that screen.
My question is can i simply re root on my mac and would my phone go back to stock rooted OS? Or do I have to restore it through Odin?
Note I did backup my previous rom!
Sorry forgot to mention I cant access recovery either! I hold down volume up and power and nothing just stays on the yellow triangle screen...

Get calks format all ...flash it and then go to advanced and wipe system and then flash new ROM .... If it still doesn't work check md5 on the ROM that it's a good download if it's not redownload and flash ....you can always restore your back up

Man you guys are fast (THANKS) yes I can get into Download mode, but I guess my main question is, If i re root again and flash the Samsung drivers, rootzip etc ( like rooting again) would this fix my problem?

I would definitely recommend going this route. Follow the instructions in this thread it will help you to install ACS (CWM) Recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268037

for future reference recovery is volume Up + power. not down.

From the sounds of it id say you may need to flash more than the kernal I was in a similar situation where my recovery wouldnt work and I couldnt boot into the rom and I had to flash back to stock through Odin to get it working again. Then after that I re rooted and flashed a rom.

Im not sure, when it happened to me there wasnt a way. Its really simple though I mean when I did it I was back up and running, rerooted, and running a rom in about 10 minutes if that.
This is the file you would need to flash the stock tar file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409634 this is what I used then after I just re rooted.

Yes but instead of ODIN you'll use Heimdall. There's a guide in the link below.

This is for rooting not for flashing a Rom I used this method to root but I need to restore even if its unrooting.

I've been in this situation before, you have a bad flash.... you have to odin back to stock redownlaod the rom you installed and try again... the yellow triangle will probably still be there but the phone will boot. i bought a jig to get rid of my yellow triangle (It really bothered me and the jig was like a buck)

Yes that guide is for rooting but you can flash ROM's with Heimdall too. Just do a Google search for it and you'll see. Either that or find yourself a windows box and ODIN a rooted ROM with clockwork recovery and then restore your backup.

I can't find the shw-m290k rom anywhere though. I need that one or sensors, wifi, and Bluetooth don't work, which is why I want to restore my back up but it always fails at /system in one of the devblocks because it can't mount.
Edit - I found it but it needs Odin and I don't have a PC to flash with Odin.

Flash any 2.3.x Gio stock ROM, it would format the partitions in rfs.
Then install CWM & restore your backup.
Currently there's no way I think to format in rfs from recovery...

You cant do it without odin, so maybe you can borrow a pc from a friend or family, it only takes about 5 mins without downloading

The Chinese are improving themselves!

I found a Stock Rom for your SHW-M290k.
It's in the Samsung Open Source Release Center
Just search SHW-M290k and download the first one: SHW-M290S_OpenSource_GB_Update.zip
Though I'm not sure what the contents are. It's either flashable by Odin or a Source.
Next you want to read this
Peteragent5 said:
Nothing more, nothing less. Let's head straight into the Guide.
Back to RFS:
Flash your Gio back to Stock with ODIN
When phone reboots, quickly hold home button
You'll then install the CSC, but it fails on data.
When phone reboots again, quickly hold home button
Now you're in Stock Recovery
Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Reboot
Now you're back to RFS
Reboot to Recovery, and then CSC will install again
Reboot and now you're complete
Convert to EXT4:
(WARNING: This will wipe SYSTEM and all your DATA, so please install a ROM after you've done this)
Download ext4-formatter.zip
Copy it to the root of your SD Card
Reboot into Recovery
Select install zip
Select ext4-formatter.zip & install it
Reboot
Now you're converted to EXT4!

Problem with ota software update

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem that I have.
I heard that the sgh t989 has a sw update from ics and I wanted to try it out. So I went to the software update feature and it said: no firmware. Is there a fix to this?
Please help.

You can either try Kies, or download the update from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ .

Umm....
Kies is telling me that my device is not supported by Kies 2.0
So......
Is there any way I can install the firmware directly from my phone?

If OTA doesn't work I think you will need a computer. I sent you a link to the firmware that you can flash with Odin.

Have you used Odin before? Perhaps to root your phone?
Do you have the USB drivers installed on your computer? If not, it would probably be a lot easier to flash one of the stock builds from the development section.
Here is one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40682271

No I havent used Odin
I just want to install the official jb update on my phone.
If Odin is the only way then I will do it.
I do have all the drivers installed on my computer.
Can you maybe tell me more about Odin and flashing before I actually go and do it?
Also I have unlocked my phone but I dont think it is rooted.

This is a pretty good guide with pictures. Just unzip the file I gave you and substitute it for the one in the guide.
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
I will pm you a link to Odin.
You have to be very careful following this guide because if something goes wrong you could hard brick your phone.
By the way, you will lose all of your settings so you should probably backup before you attempt this.

How will I back it up if kies doesnt recognize my phone
Will I be needing Kies for this?
Btw should i use the method in the link above or the link you pm'ed me

You have to install either TWRP or CWM to make a backup. You don't really need to, though. Unless you want to be able to bring your phone back to where it is now if you don't like jellybean. Installing a new recovery is similar to installing the new jb update.
The first link I pm'ed was for the firmware and the second link was for the Odin program to flash the firmware to your phone.
No, you should not be needing Kies.

It will replace the whole ROM, so I think your data will be erased. I am not sure about the unlock, but others have said the unlock survives a ROM change.

Umm so lets finalize the whole thing
this is where I should go to update ( also replace their ics firmware with my jb one)
This is the official jb for my phone
This is Odin (which I will use to update my phone)
Is all of this correct?
Also which device should I select from twrp?
Thanks

That is correct. Here is the Odin flash able tar of TWRP.

First we will get TWRP installed. Use this guide as a reference http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Turn off your phone. Hold volume up and volume down and plug it into your computer. Now follow the steps in the guide above using the odin program I sent you and the TWRP file.You only need to go up to number 6.
After it reboots, shut your phone off and then hold volume up and volume down and the power button until you feel it vibrate and let go of the power button. You should now be in TWRP where you click backup. Click the check-boxes for everything but internal sdcard. You can also change the backup name to make it easier to keep track. Then just swipe to backup. Don't worry if the screen turns off, it is supposed to do that to save battery.
Once you get that done we can start on the next thing.

Where do I get twrp from and do I use it on my phone or pc?

You use Odin to install TWRP(recovery) to your phone. I think you should read those guides a few times or more so you can get familiar with what you need to do.
