no, once u downlaod the odin file, thats just the first step, u still need to download the modem
best method ive found to be is to download the modem for ure smartphone and then odin back to stock, but before u do odin back to stock, i recommend getting the triangle away which removes ure custom count flash so then if u do return it back to the store they wont know. which is explained on the second post.
just follow the instructions which guy posted ontop with the link to odin back to stock, it shows u on the video how to return back to stock.

Ive actually simplified this and am in the process of uploading this file to the site. Full stock with LI3 OTA based on the one in the dev section, but will also flash: Stock Recovery, LI3 Modem, and no root access. System will show as normal as this is totally unmodified stock. The equivalent of the odin tar but updated and flashed without odin. Just flash in recovery like any rom https://dl.dropbox.com/s/sqns12krx5u0rr9/LI3_STOCK_COMPLETE.zip?dl=1

Ok, since I'm having such a good day I will help you out. Usually I would just tell you to search some more.
Step One .- Flash Stock KERNEL with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip
Step Two .- Flash Unrooted Rom with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip
And Last..
Step Three .- Odin Stock Recovery. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar
You should be fully STOCK now. Follow the steps and don't skip any.
Good luck.....
Flash this rom thru cwn, it restores back to stock unrooted, and installs the stock recovery.

I just flashed this since i am getting a warranty exchange and everything is back to stock unrooted. Except for the kernel, make sure you flash the stock kernal first

From what i've heard, none of these solutions will get you back T989UVKL1 true stock. Both of the above posts will put the phone back to and 'older' unrooted version of stock T989UVKID.
I guess if needing to return the phone back to T-Mobile, only assuming that's what you want, it should work, however if you purchased the phone (like me) with the upgraded firmware pre installed, and you wanted to "wipe the slate clean" and start fresh with prue pre installed updated stock - the above 2 posts won't do it.

Yes but if you go back to T989UVKID shouldn't it give you the OTA update?
That should do the trick

You should be fine, but if you tested other kernels you'll have to flash stock kernel first. Then your nandroid.

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 (+)

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.

An odin file is just that: an odin file. No offense if you knew what an ODIN file was you wouldn't be asking.
Whenever the upload finishes in 15 minutes or so, i will make a short description to go with it.

Trying to get an answer, I am on [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]x :ARKSIDE.UCLE2:: x[BETA07.1][6.04.2012] right now, with this fine community getting ready to drop this without having to use Kies, I keep hearing about UVLDE firmware and needing to flash before flashing the new one TMobile just released (ICS).

Flash this via Odin only if you want an UN-rooted TMO ics. Wait for zipped ones as they will be rooted.

Try flashing this. It's more stock then anything (odin in download mode)Follow directions in the thread here. Should be safe once ya do this (i've soft bricked both my Epic and my Epic touch a few times) And this is a Rooted EL26 (GB) rom as well. Hope it helps.
If you can get into DL mode, you can also use the one-click EL29 . It takes all the guesswork out of Odin settings plus it gets rid of the yellow triangle. Every time I have been able to get back to DL mode I have used this method. I will try to find the link, but there is a great video on YouTube done by QBking77.

Let us know when you get back to stock EL29. Also where do you want to go with this and what do you want to do? Are you looking to be stock rooted or install custom roms?
Also, once you get to EL29, your phone will check for upgrades. If you want to stay there on GB, stay rooted, or install roms, do not accept the upgrade.
Stock before my mess up I had 4.0.4 and after doing these step I hope to get back to that just rooted. After that maybe clockworkmod and throw in a rom for ics...., I have to do updates manualy right? If phone is rooted?

Yes, you will need to install them manually with Odin, Mobile Odin, or CWM after you are rooted. Figure out what ICS rom you want before you do anything and let us know if you need any help. BTW, there are a few JB roms that are decent daily drivers as well.
Were you able to get back to EL29 okay?

I believe so. I have never done that. Once I rooted, I have never went back to stock.
Havent got a chance to try and flash to el29 yet. Left my phone at my gf house for the night so gotta wait tell she brings it over in the morning. As soon as I jump on all this ill let yall know .

It is considered safer to flash from a GB kernal, but whatever the instructions call for on that custom rom do that. BTW, I have never flashed a rom from any thing other than EL29 direct boot CWM and EL26 stock w/ CWM5.

There are several ways to accomplish this..
Do you have any experience using Odin? You can flash the original Fi27 tar which would take you back stock unrooted. You can locate that in the Stock ROM Repository by RWilco.
You could flash the rooted one click (you'll need to do the restore, not the no data) then you'd have to remove root.
Or you could flash an old GB build and then update the really long way and be pure stock.
Yes you can flash back to ics the same way to did to fk23. Go to dev section and download odin 1 click restore fi27. It will fully wipe and will put phone to brand new state.

OC means one click and they are odin based. Easiest way to get back to stock or stock rooted.

HELP PLEASE t889V stuck on Samsung logo

Hi Guys need help bad. I hope I didnt screw my phone up.
I rooted my phone using the latest toolkit and installed twrp. Once i did that I backed up everything including efs on the external card.
Once i did that I flashed Jedi x rom but did not have much signal so decided to flash another rom which was liquid smooth. Once I flashed it again
my signal was almost non existent. I downloaded a canadian modem in the zip file and flashed it using twrp the same way i would flash a rom.
After i did that i wiped all the data and cache and the system. As I was rushing it siince its late at night i got a message saying that I am not rooted. I ignored it and rebooted the system and now its stuck on samsung logo. What can i do? Please help!!!!!
It appears that when I hold vol up plus home plus power I can get into download mode. I hope that helps.
Can someone give me some help how to get it back to life. I am pretty sure I have to use Odin at this point but dont know how
Ok i did some reading and I think the next step is to download stock image for the wind mobile turn on Odin and upload the image to the phone..
What settings should I use in Odin? What should be checked at the top and am I to use PDA only?
You can use odin or just reflash the ROM. You said tout wiped system after flashing the modern. That means you erased what ever ROM was on there. It's sticking at Samsung because there is no ROM to boot into.

Could you give me some pointers once I open up odin what do i need to do ? Thanks
Have you puked the battery. Put it back in then held volume+, home and power? Your recovery should still be there.
Also, odin is easy. Just open it and click the pda box and put your stock ROM there. Two things make sure you put your image in PDA and PDA ONLY and make sure it's your official stock Image

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!

When I did this approach, I did it in two steps. I downloaded factory image of the firmware and flashed the device by using Odin 3.0.7.
Next, I used a tool package called "Galaxy Note2 ToolKit." Follow the instructions for how to root.
When I did the procedure, the software also had an option to include clockworkmod recovery
and busybox.
