Will this have the stock kernel in it?
This make take a while longer. I am trying to get this as close to fully stock as possible. It is taking a long time to process. A lot longer than I thought. And I still don't know if it will actually work. Worst case I can make it stock kernel and file system and you do a factory reset on your own.

At the very least you will have to Odin this and do a factory reset. The stock part is working fine. I am trying to include a clean data partition to save a step.

May want to check out gtg465x's Ultimate Unbricks in the Infuse 4G Development section as a reference.
However I think he doesn't nuke data... I've had to do factory resets when Odining my Infuse back to stock. Well I had to do it once... Haven't Odined back to stock in ages and probably never will again at this point.
OK link is up. Do a factory reset to wipe data unless I come up with something different.
Could you also pack this with CWM? Or does it not work with the stock kernel?
So this contains what exactly? Stock kernel and ROM? I'm still a little new to this.
I'm confused. You're instructions seem to match your other thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1282418
Specifically the part: 7. In the PDA Section choose the tar file. (Deodexed-Rooted-Busybox-EG30.tar)

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Stock Kernel // UVKID
Finally guys we have root access and with root access that brings goodies, this is one of those goodies.
Explanation
What we have here is a stock boot.img (imagine that Samsung changing things up again on us) pulled from a rooted (via recovery) T-Mobile SGH-T989 (Samsung Galaxy S II).
With this you can recover your phone using ODIN, in the case of a brick or just to return to a factory state.
Initramfs for Developers
I have extracted the boot.img and posted it up for all developers on my github.
Code:
https://github.com/bubby323/stock-initramfs-UVKID-galaxysII-tmo
Downloads
Also to restore you're phone I have a nice little tar file that will take care of the job for you that you can grab from here.
How to Flash
We are going to be using Odin in this explanation to flash the stock kernel to your phone.
Downloads
First you are going to want to start by downloading all the needed files onto your computer and then place them onto your Desktop.
Samsung Kies
Odin3-v1.85.zip
SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID.tar
Process
Once you have everything downloaded and on your desktop, you are going to want to first install kies.
After this is done you should restart your computer for proper driver installation.
Next, extract Odin to a new folder on your Desktop. Leave the tar in the form it is.
Now, open up Odin by double clicking the .exe in the folder you extracted it to.
The most important step is now, you need to put your device into Download/ODIN mode so your computer will recognize it and be able to flash to it. To do this simply turn your phone off completely (or pull the battery). Then you are going to want to use the following button combination to force your device into download mode:
Hold the volume up/down and power button all at the same time.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now ODIN should have recognized your device ( it may take a while for the drivers to complete installation so don't panic the first time).
Lastly, we want to click on the PDA button and then search for the SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID.tar we download earlier and placed on the Desktop.
If all of the above has taken place you are free to hit the Start button.
Done!
If all has gone well at this point the flash should be proven successful and your phone should reboot like normal.
If so, please feel pressured to give yourself a pat on the back, that was tough!

This is not a method for obtaining root. It's reference material, and also a way to return yourself to stock if you flash a hosed kernel.
If you already have a stock kernel, I am 90% certain that this will do absolutely nothing.
But having a "return to stock kernel" path AND a fresh initramfs are major milestones for development.
You're not at risk, you should be perfectly fine using slayher's method, but if you screw up, this will be a component of your path back to a working phone. But it's only useful if you screw up, you're a kernel developer who wants a clean initramfs for reference, or need to return your phone back to 100% stock. However, if you're in one of those three categories, this is a critical milestone.
This will put stock recovery back on also right?
[Q] Files from a ROM around?
I've asked this before and I should probably shut it, but if anyone has files from a ROM that works with ODIN or a ZIP file (CWM compat or not), root or unrooted (doesn't matter), or a NANDROID backup, could you let me know?
I got stock kernel up, CWM recov, but broke my actual OS- since it broke, I done flashed /data /emmc /system to empty out my stomach. I really just need everything from / (minus your personal data, of course) - can get it to work with a recovery by myself (and can post that up if I do).
Thanks in advance, bruvs.

Unzip and put file into PDA in ODIN and flash away! If you need ODIN, it is attached below.
*WARNING* DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION OR ANYTHING ELSE. ONLY AUTO-REBOOT AND F. RESET TIMER SHOULD BE CHECKED.
If you need more information about this file and what it is/what to do with it, read the stickies at the top of this forum to learn more about ODIN and what it is used for. This file is provided mostly for people who like me who prefer to odin a stock rom and tweak it themselves. It will also prove INVALUABLE from here on out for when you need to unroot your phone (send into t-mobile/samsung, just want it un-rooted).
IF YOU WANT ROOT:
I also attached the latest superuser and CWM recovery for those who want to root.
Put the recovery.tar in the pda slot and flash for CWM recovery.
Then install the attached superuser inside CWM recovery to have full root!
FYI: It's a known issue that superuser usually does not "stick" on the first try. This is with ANY ROM for our phones. Just keep flashing it (usually 2 to 3 times)until it says installation complete.
THIS WILL NOT AFFECT YOUR DOWNLOAD/FLASH COUNTER (+)

Nope i believe Mr. X is making that as we speak. This is for a full ODIN flash.
rooted?
Can't wait for your link, can I use CWM to flash? Is the firmware already rooted or
factory fresh one?
Wow you guys...just wow...
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Will be factory fresh. Will be like any other stock rom, not rooted. Root it via odin like we have always done for all of our roms. I think it's best to just leave completely intact so we always have an option to get our phones back to 100% factory. The CW flashable zips and rooted custom roms are on their way.

Flash this via Odin only if you want an UN-rooted TMO ics. Wait for zipped ones as they will be rooted.
Though I made the tar.md5 the credit goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484304. This is an ODIN flashable version of TWRP 2.2 for the Hercules.
::::::Update:::::::
Goo manager uses the website to host the recovery. The website is down. I will leave the link up until either I'm officially told to take it down or a Moderator locks it.
-Instructions-
1: Reboot to bootloader
2: Open ODIN
3: Select "PDA"
4: Select the "recovery.tar.md5" file.
5: Hit start and let ODIN do it's thing. Your phone will reboot.
As always I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your device. Flashing anything to your phone has it's inherent risks. ODIN can cause severe damage to your device.
Enjoy.

Hahaha my friend you should of done a little research before you just started flashing recoveries. They are completely different recoveries which means you can not restore a CWM in TWRP or vica versa. Your CWM backups are still in the same place but to restore them you will need to flash back to a CWM recovery...
Hope that helps you out and next time just check your stuff out prior to just flashing away... Safety first :good:
You better back this up somewhere because the developer for this recovery doesnt want any side downloads or so.

Are you nuts? You can't use the recovery for the T989 on a GT-9192! You'll brick your phone if you muck up your kernel. Or if you're lucky, you won't brick but the recovery will not boot cuz it's NOT the right one for your device..
This is outdated and here for reference. Go here for the easier up to date method
Same procedure as the original guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774722 . I am aware that this is wothless to most people. I know theres triangle away and all that. However Ive noticed some still prefer to go this route. Plus makes a good place to grab the official tar and keep root. So to help those people out here is a prerooted. LJ7+LI3.TAR for use in odin that will give you root leaving your flash count at 0. Official binary status. This is the latest OTA. This has been compressed in a 7z archive. Extract before using

is this really the offical JB?
Yes the one sextape posted last night/ this morning is official. This is the same thing with root added. If it was not official then it would trigger your flash count. This does not

Finally. Im glad Samsung didnt pull an Epic fail like the GB and especially the froyo bull they pulled with the epic 4g.
Its days like today I feel bad for all those poor sammy phones out there that never left gb/froyo
I believe you may want to go ahead and explain what u mean hy official. This as of yet has not been confirmed as official OTA but is an official leak.

i mean http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33174377&postcount=1 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33175014&postcount=6
In addition to the fact that this flashes a kernel modem and recovery which pass and do not trigger the flash count. All i need to see to consider this official. If thats an issue for you then http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1639
Never said it was an issue. I am saying the only reason this does not add to your counter is due to the fact that it is Signed by Samsung for installation through Odin. It is in fact official due to this fact but is not confirmed an official OTA as of yet thus not being the official final release that will be OTA until we confirm this information. It may or may not be, just correcting this information to what we know until further notice.

Well even if there were updates made to it before it was pushed out i think its safe to `say this will be the go-to tar for unbricking and what-not. Highly unlikely Samsung will make another tar after this. I mean other than this the only other legit odin tar for the phone is the LEN tar and look how outdated that is. Plus the modem thing. The phone refuses to flash any modem that is not LEN. (or LJ7)
LF9 LG2 LG8 and LI3 will all fail when attempting to flash with odin. This and the first LEN are the only ones to pass on that. And this comes with a new recovery as well. Which also wont trip the counter. Which means the tar contains signed images in it, unlike the other leaks. Just too much that points to this being the one. Regardless I guess we'll see but in the mean time, call it what you want. Or ask sextape i did link that tar at the bottom of my post.

So will this wipe everything? And if I read right, it comes with a recovery too right?

New Recovery yes. As far as wiping I cant confirm. Seems like half said yes other half said no. I cant specify because i flashed it with Nand wipe checked and I repartitioned so naturally mine was wiped regardless. If your worried about it wiping then uncheck auto-reboot and pull the battery when its done. Leave it off for a few seconds and you should skip recovery when you turn it back on.
yo guys does it matter what rom we are on or can we just run the .exe? im on miui right now. should i go back to a tw rom first? thanks guys
ps ive hardbricked one s3 when i first got it like a dumbass so i just wanna make sure!
Dont think it matters i would boot into recovery and do a wipe first tho
