[KERNEL] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Stock Kernel // UVKID

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 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!

Is this method better then slayher?? Method?

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.

Did I brick my phone?

So I just recently rooted my phone and was using the wireless tether with no problem.
Today I tried to flash the new caulkulin ROM, but I forgot to backup 1st. Threw the ROM on my phone and booted into CWM. Then I ran the reformat file as instructed, but I have no SD card in my phone, so I think it deleted the rom and everything else on the phone.
Now I am just stuck at exclamation screen. I can still get into CWM. I tried loading an SD card from my evo 3g with the calkulin rom on it, but it doesn't seem to recognize it.
Am I screwed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

can you get into download mode? Odin something.
Or, try moving a file from your computer to your internal sd and flash that from recovery. any rom will do.

a fresh download wouldn't hurt anything either. try starburst v1.9

Odin is the only way out of this one it sounds like.

I found a acs-eg30-stock-kernal-pulled.tar in my recycle bin on my laptop but it's only 8mb. Is this an incomplete file?
The pc I'm on now wont let me transfer anything off it, and I have no internet otherwise.

That's just the kernel, not sure if it'll fix your problem...worth a shot.
My suggestion is that you download (when you get a chance) the Odin back to stock tar, it's like 450 megs, but always good to have to start fresh. It'll make you cwr and root free but that's an easy fix.

Did this work? I also semi-bricked my phone in the same exact way. I'm coming from EVO 3D, so still getting used to CWM and ODIN. So all we do is go back in to ODIN mode and flash the stock-EG30.tar file?
---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------
It worked. Big thanks to Duce HD2 for the tip!

You dpnt have to format system unless ur flashing starburst. Viper and calculyns dont need format system. Just wipe everything.

Just incase you havnt done it yet
flashing that kernel wont help you one bit if you formated system
and youl lose cwm too.
hold on ill look up the tar you want.
edit this would bring your whole phone back to stock so you can start over
would have no root and no cwm

[Q] Bricked Samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch

HELP!!! My brother heard me talking about rooting my phone and installing cool ROM’s so he gave it a shot.. He has a Samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch, he loaded some ICS rom that does not have WiFi working, it also does not have USB working? He also didn’t load any recovery making it hard to bring it back to stock.
So I have a Samsung galaxy s2 epic 4g touch with some weird ICS rom, the Wifi does not work, no SDCard access, it has NO USB support.. it does have Bluetooth working so I have been able to move files to it but the rom he installed is not rooted and I can’t install a recovery app…
I can boot into download mode but with no USB support oden will not see the phone 
Any advice on how to root the phone or get a recovery app installed from the phone?
I can boot into the default recovery and I have the option to “Apply Update.zip from external storage” but the phone will not see an SD card, I also have an option to “apply update.zip from cache” then I see a lost+fount and recovery directory but I don’t know how to get my update.zip to this folder?

You can try downloading one of agat's ics kernels and flashing it through mobile Odin. You don't need USB for that. If that works then download a rom from xda not some random one you found on the internet, put it in the internal storage and flash from agat's recovery. May not work can't say 100%

Yeah, that's what confuses me. USB support in Odin Download mode of the phone, which I thought was driven by Kernel, not rom, leaves me to wonder if he flashed the international kernel.
Or I thought..
But it's odd you get the rom to boot and all of that is broke..

I wonder if you can get to the playstore and download supersu, if that wouldn't be a root method? Total shot in the dark since I haven't followed Chainfires SU thread that close. :edit: Doesn't look like it would work. :/

I for sure can not get access to the play store i can download APK files and move them to this phone via bluetooth but with out root access supersu will not work..

Hmm. So the only options in recovery is externel SD and cache? You may be sol. You can try downloading agats kernel in
Zip format and putting in the internal storage and pray it works. Unless one of the e4gt gurus knows another way

Unless you can push recoveries through the bootloader as an img like HTC phones but with recoveries tied to the kernel I doubt it unless its possible to unpack the kernel and just pull the recovery. But that's far beyond me.

[Q] [HELP] I bricked my Glide

First of all, to make it totally clear how noob Im at this... I dont even know if this post goes in this section, so feel free to move it wherever fits best.
Second, excuse my english, its not my first language so ill try my best to explain what I did
Last but not least, thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this post and tries to help me.
So, I finally felt courageous enough to try a non-stock ROM.
The first thing I did was search for a rooting guide for the Glide on the forums. And I found one that seemed pretty straight forward. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378082). I downloaded Odin, the CarrierIQ free kernel, started the phone on download mode, started Odin, PDA the kernel file... and when the phne rebooted it got stuck on the samsung sign.
I think my problem is that the guide was old and for GB devices. I was running the stock ICS.
After that, I downloaded from samfirmware the ICS file (is it the kernel or the rom? <-yes, thats how of a noob i am). Tried to use odin with it, but it gets stuck after a couple of mins.
After searching for a while, I found on another forum that it says that I need to downgrade back to GB, and said to install CWM Recovery (I installed it -v5.0.2.7-). And now im downloading the inception ROM (the same post on that forum said to downgrade using that ROM). Since the download is really slow, Im writing here to see if someone knows what happened and how to fix it.
Thanks!

Not sure about cwmr 5 but in ver 6 (touch) you can mount the internal memory, use your usb cable and transfer the zip to the phone with your pc. UN-mount and disconnect the cable and then you should be able to find the file to flash!

Do you have a link for it? The dropbox one I found isnt working... dont know if the CWM is specific for each device, i found others on google, but since they are on another devices forums, I dont know if it will work with my glide....
Thanks for the help....

The other thing you can do is download the leaked ics that it's a Odin one click file that will flash the kernel and boot loader, should get your phone booted back into stock ics where you can get a fresh start. I'd recommend going to Thegreatergood's LiteRom ver 4 or 5 afterwords. At least until Dman gets cm10 going!

ok here is the CWMR v6 its in a zip file. just unzip to your desktop, the tar.md5 file is useable in the pda mode for odin. just follow the guide listed in the CWMR 6 thread.

I would also suggest making a backup if the /efs folder on your phone. that folder contains all the imei information that identifies you device to the networks. there is a thread in another forum that uses a tool to easily make a backup and gives the ability to restore! I have never had to use it to restore, but there have been reports on rare occasions where others have lost that information and the imei numbers turned to all "0's" I'm also not sure that you can use the tool until the phone is booted up. here is a link to that thread...

that's great, you might consider making a nand backup using the recovery and also once rooted, use titanium backup!

Well Im finally using the literom and its great. Cwm6 didnt read my sd card, but it allowed me to mount my phone as a drive on my pc, so i made a folder and copied the zips there, and installed from there.
I will try the backup thing later. Im so glad to have the keyboard backlight back!
I was really frustrated yesterday. I have a lot of experience with computers, but not that much with android phones. It was quite an experience.
Thanks again.

I am unfortunately stuck in the same position at the moment. I stupidly followed the root guide thinking it'd work for ICS and was horribly wrong.
My phone is now also stuck at the Samsung logo and is driving me crazy. Can you give me some instructions on what you did to restore back to GB? Thanks in advance.

Get in recovery and make a nandroid backup. You can also use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and data. You'll have to made a copy of those files on your pc to get them back once your phone is back.
You'll have to reset the flash counter (while you're rooted), flash stock firmware with Odin (can be found in the Dev section) and factory reset in recovery.
Also, backup your pics and such (DCIM folder) to your pc if you wanna keep them.
Last thing, take time to search next time it has been covered quite a few times.

he said the micro usb port isnt working though. all this below is assuming you made a nandroid and have a micro sd card.
here's a link to a page that details how to setup your phone for return. this page is for the i9300 but i've included the links for i747 to use whenever an i9300 file is requested. after your nandroid restore and initial boot, see what base band you're on to know which modem you might need. read over the link a few times to become familiar and proceed at your own risk.

Good point. I'll add to this though, he can use mobile Odin to flash to stock if his micro usb port isn't working well enough.

Hey thank you guys! I haven't started this yet but when i tried to use mobile odin to flash to stock, my phone would bootloop. Do you think that will happen again if i try this? Is it mobile odin or?

Depends really on several factors. Are you able to get into stock recovery and do a factory reset in there ? Sometimes helps after flashing stock in odin

Hednik is right. If you've accomplished a successful odin flash (no errors) go ahead and wipe data/cache in recovery. After flashing stock in odin, it is common for phones to bootloop or stick at the samsung logo. A wipe usually resolves this

When im in the bootloop I have no stock recovery! Like if i held my home and up volume it would do nothing but bootloop
& This will take me from cm10 to stock correct?

If in a bootloop pull the battery and try to get into recovery. I guess I am confused...are you still on CM10 ? Have to flashed stock recovery yet ?
You said you microUSB port does work so getting download mode might be an issue but it you bootloop you should be able to get into stock recovery. Tell us that you have done already so far and where you are

Alright I'm still on cm10. I've tried to flash stock rom before but it put me in a boot loop and I couldn't get into stock recovery. Am I supposed to install stock recovery? I'm really lost. I'm sorry

Oh! and one more thing. I made a Nandroid backup but while reading the guide to return to stock, you need stock nandroid right?

Do you have an external SD card you can load a stock rooted ROM and then try to flash back to complete factory stock with Odin ?
Try and flash this.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161667

Here is a link for recovery flasable stock firmware. Flash it the same way you flashed CM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161667
Edit, didn't see someone already posted thus. Flash that triangle away unroot then make sure to clean up all your files from the root of your SD card or any files that might suggest you've modified the device and you should be good to go.

I've never used mobile Odin so I'm not sure. If that's how you flashed CyanogenMod then yes.
