Tmobile T989 Wont stay in recovery - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I flashed the darkside rom and then went back to stock. Now flashed Infamoust989.02 and when I boot into recovery the phone reboots 2 seconds after CWM is on the screen. Any ideas?

the translation is this is the wrong place to ask your questions. if u look carefully this is development section and you don't post your questions here. thats why u get no answer

Looks like we need a noob sticky..

Just download the drivers for windows and the md5 for the flash. Or you can try to reflash the cwn with Odin. Try using a tar it md5 file from the t989 sts. Our just look for the thread to go back to stock otherwise try to find the root the phone thread and try reflashing cwm for Odin.

Reflash super wipe then the rom.. Then always ask in the QAndA section from now on..

unroot?

I want to take the phone back but I have to unroot. I looked and cant find any info. Can any one direct me to the right place?
Thanks!
Cant you just unroot from the root app itself? I think ive read that around here before. Look under the settings in superuser. If that doesnt work, just download the stock rom from samsung-updates and flash with odin.

Flash stock unrooted ROM? Using Odin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
still no ROM or ZIP that I can find.
Did you look? Maybe 5 threads below this is a cwm flashable, and there are Odin files floating around. Use the search feature man.

Need help rooting.

Ok so I just bought a s3 on craigslist for 250 that was only used for a week or so. The phone is perfect in All aspects. The morning after I bought it I got an ota for JB. So I went ahead and installed. Now a couple of days later im Trying to root. I can get into download mode and connect to odin install the cwm tar and all goes good odin does its thing and says its has passed. Next I go to get into cwm recovery and it takes me to stock android recovery and wont let me install super user. Ive tried several other tar files hoping they we just bad downloads. My flash counter is at 7 now. Ive looked everywhere I can think of for a fix and find a lot of other things that point in a certain dirrection but I am unsure of which way to go. Any help would be great.

my solution was just to bite the bullet, and odin a full image that was already rooted. Takes a while, but solved my issues.
Uncheck auto reboot in Odin before you flash the tar file, once it's done, unplug your device, and boot straight into cwm recovery, volume up home and power, flash su, reboot,done.

Which image did u flash.
I also tryed the other sugstion and no luck

I would recommend root66 if you just want stock with root injected, with no counter trips. From there you can CWM and play. Enjoy!

WTF $250? That seller was nuts.

Yup. He was a apple fan. Decided to try android. Didnt like it cut his lisses and went back to it. His loss my gain.

If you just odin the cwm tar I dont think it will include the su files. You will need to flash a zip containing the binaries

Use the root66 img

[Q] bricked??

I am currently running jellybomb 8.0 but I wanted to flash 12.1so followed the new installation directions but when I did a factory reset I did a system wipe as well. (Per directions) now when I try to reboot it tells me there is no os. And I cant get out of twrp.Did I brick my phone? Can anybody help?
Flash a kernel
All you need to do is flash a new rom, not kernel. It says no os because you wiped the system out, hence no operating system. So just go back into recovery and flash a rom.

When I click install (using twrp) it just reboots back into twrp. Is there another way I am supposed to flash via twrp?
Fixed! !! Took the battery out overnight and reflashed backup. Thanks for all your help.

For future reference, booting to Odin mode (power off from TWRP, then Vol Down + Power + Center/Home Button) and flashing a LJC/LK8 one click will also get you back in the game.

Bricked when updating to FL24....help

I used to zip file from the sticky thread.
Re-named to Update
Put on SD card
Booted into recovery
Ran and now all I get is the Galaxy SII screen.
I have done this a couple times before without any problems.
Anything I can do? If so give me some reading or instructions!
Thanks for the help.
You're not actually bricked. You've just soft bricked. Flash something via Odin and you'll be back up and running.

Yes find a one click odin and download to pc.
Clear cache and data in recovery also helps.

As Mattix724 said PC Odin a one-click. Try this http://www.sxtpdevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=116 Directions are simple and explicit

just calrification.. technically a soft brick is still a form of a brick.. the op just didnt state which it was but correct.. if you can still get to the splash screen then its a soft brick.. not a hard brick..

Thanks all, I ended up using the FI27 One Click from Sextape, then I instantly received the OTA from Sprint (which was kind of lol).
Worked like a charm.
Still had to wipe all my user data because I was getting force closes, but on the positive side my battery life has been amazing.

[Q] help please

I've a at&t note 2 its rooted, I had flashed jexi rom earlier. I screwed up and had to restore the phone. Now after I root I can't flash anything I get the security verification message, even when I toggle it with
clockmodmanager. I'm lost can someone help or at least point me in the right direction?
Ok you flashed Jedi, was it thru Odin,, recovery, what? Did you use CWM, TWRP recovery??
Then after root you can't flash anything, huh??
More info on what you did then maybe we can help point you, in the right direction!!

Yes thru oden. Flashed with twrp. When I try to flash any rom I get signature not valid. I installed clock modrecovery because I read you could toggle the signature, but im still getting errors. It just says bad, with ckockmod twrp says signature not valid.

I would fully wipe the device in recovery. . Then boot into download mode and Odin push a stock image to repair the file structure. ..
Most likely you have a bad Odin recovery flash. ..
But the risk in flashing recovery again is further partition damage. ..
The Odin return to stock will repair any possible damage beyond recovery. ..g

Probably right he needs to download goomanager and install open recovery script, then fully wipe aka wipe cache, dalvik, system, and data then flash rom to phone.

Rooted stock builds are located in the development section. ..
In particular. ..find the thread posted by Mr. Robinson. ..titled root 66 UCAMA4 build. .edit: here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2004650
It is an .img file. ..And is flashed via Odin only. ..
It contains the radio image also. .and is my primary return to stock method. .
The rom is complete and clean. ..And although rooted. .will allow OTA update to UCAMC3 ... (latest build)...if you want that feature. .
As others have eluded to above. ..You must be absolutely sure "what" you are flashing is "correct"...
And the "method" combined with "file type" is appropriate. ..
Otherwise. ..You are in danger of severe file and partition damage which leads to hard brick. ..
Protection of the IMEI and EFS hidden partitions is critical. .otherwise you will kill the device. ..
If you have questions regarding the methods or terminology of any information I've mentioned. ..Please read and understand the steps "before" attempting further flashing. .
We can help you. ..But ultimately. ..You are the master of the flashing domain on your device. ..
Take your time and read read read about every step. .
Then you will own and fully comprehend what is taking place. ..g
