HowTo - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hello,
Xda users I have a SGH-T989 and I had the issue with the imei number being 0. I have found a fix to the imei problem. When this happenes
you have to reinstall the radio becasue the efs folder is owned by the radio file
Here is a link for ICS users

This will fix the issue

I have used that radio in the past. I am currently on T989D TLLG2 Koodo Radio. After reading the flashable radios forum
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639771] I decided to try a new one. So far, I like it but I have only been running it for two days.
Device: T-989
Kernel: Instigatorx Aug 27th
ROM: Superlite CM10 Jelly Bean V4.0, Sep 14
Recovery CWM 6.0.13 Touch v3
Radio: T989DTLLG2

Oh really? Are you using the radio from the t989 JB Rom leak?
That's sarcasm, if you didn't notice.. There is no JB leak..there is no JB radio..therefore yes, you can use an ICS radio..you actually have no other choice.

Why would you want to do that? Why not just use the T989 build of CM9?

If you're only going for the kernel, is there a standalone flash of the kernel? Since they're the same hardware, I believe you can flash the kernel from skyrocket.
Yes there is just zip of only kernel.. so i think we have to flash autorotate fix too as we r installing skyrocket kernel.. ??

Upgrading to ice cream sandwich/jelly bean

I'm trying to upgrade a Tmobile galaxy s2 to jellybean that's currently running GB rooted with a custom rom. I tried simply flashing a newer ROM (ics then and jb ) but it wouldn't finish booting. I searched like crazy but I can't find any sure answers, is there a guide for my problem or something I should do like firmware update? Thanks!
You should use odin to flash the official ICS first before jumping to ICS and JB roms

You don't have to do anything but flash the rom you want and an updated radio. I flashed gb to ics to jb numerous times. No need for odin.

That's a relief. Thanks! I tried flashing cm9 and all I got was a bootloop. I'll do the radio as well though

CM 10.1 RC5 install question

Right now I'm running rooted TW and was planning on installing RC4 but RC5 dropped before I got a chance. Being a wary person I've given it a few days to see if there's any major issues. From what I can tell, to get the best results, I should install RC4 then RC5 or should I only do it if I have issues.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
I clean flashed RC5 and haven't run into any problems.
Just flash RC5 straight off the bat. Its built into the script to wipe /system, so it won't matter if you flash RC4 first anyway.
Yea reading back on a lot of the posts i realized a lot of them mentioned they used twrp and i use cwm. Not sure if that matters but I always hear cwm is better.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yeah, just install it clean off, I don't think there are very many serious differences between TWRP and CWM, at least not any that will ruin your Cyanogenmod install. Remember to flash the Gapps, I forgot my first time on AOSP.
Why is it necessary to install Gapps? In what order do you flash Gapps before installing Cyanogenmod or after. And were can I find it for my phone sph-L710.
Thank you.

Usually where ever you find your aosp rom they usually provide a link to the gapps download. You will flash the rom and right after flash the gapps then reboot.
If there's no gapps download link just Google search gapps you will find the goo download page with all the gapps for the different systems, make sure you select what you need.
The only roms you need to flash gapps with are aosp style roms because they are not licensed to carry the google apps.

I'll probably flash one of the latest nightlies, I'm not a power flasher so l've been reading the forms religiously in an attempt not to brick another phone.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Go for it, the nightlies are really quite stable, usually. Just read the posts to the thread for it to see if there are any serious bugs, chances are other people will have flashed it before you and posted their problems. Even then, most of the problems are just bugs that are usually tolerable, at the most minor inconveniences.
RC5 is running very nice for me, so far I've found no bugs and everything seems to be working.

Thanks for all your help. I have one question though... I Google Gapps and went to goo. Im put which one is for my phone. I have sph-L710 android 4.1.2

You don't have to be but you can interchange between both as they are sisters. Don't forget to flash the rotation fix.
So I can flash t mo radio onto at&t rom
