I'm currently running the official 4.0.3 Telus OS on my T989D and I'm looking at trying out some other ROMs, my question has two parts:
Is it correct that I have to install the Telus Radio first (T989DTLLE4)?
Are there any recommended ROMs for Telus users or will any T-Mobile T989 mod work so long as I use the Telus radio? (Mod recommendations would be appreciated!)
Through trial and error it looks like it doesn't seem to matter the order so long as the preferred radio is installed. If I'm incorrect please let me know.

1) You don't have to install the telus radio before installing a rom. None of the roms that I know of flash a new radio, they just use the one that you had previously (in this case the TLLE4 radio). Also, any radio available here will work with the T989D, and will work with all roms. So you can try flashing different ones and see which works best for you, unless you are happy with the stock radio.
2) Just like with radios, any rom will work. the T989D is the same phone as the T989. However, for stability reasons I recommend that you stick with roms that are based on stock telus/kood/t-mobile. Here are a few that I've tried and would highly recommend (currently running darthstalker)
Darthstalker
Jedi Knight
Koodo V4
Xtremeperia
happy flashing!
Thanks four the links! I am currently running the Koodo 4.0.4 v.4 that is working well. One thing I was having problems with was having the phone pull the wrong APN settings for the Koodo mod as I am a Telus user. At first I couldn't get data service but I got it sorted thanks to another user posting the solution being manually entering the APN settings for Telus.
I will try out the ROMs you linked, thanks for your suggestion!

Not sure if anyone tried this ..
take a skyrocket ICS build use one of the TMO kernals .. will that work ?
Do i need to flash radio later ?
Thanks
afaik gingerbread kernels don't work for ICS roms, not to mention none of the ICS builds for the SR are stable enough to be used as a DD anyway. Though you can flash them with the SR kernel, you just won't have proper rotation just turn off auto rotation though and no issues.
How about Gingerbread roms on Skyrocket on TMO
Thanks ...
Ok So we dont have ICS kernel ...
Since it looks in TMO we have choice betw slick mod and jaugg ( love rom control ) and Darkside .. only
I was thinking if i put a SKyrocket build on the phone .. will the radio get flashed as well ? any adverse affect that way ?
Thanks Again for a quick response
I've never had to flash the radio, whatever baseband that is on your phone now should be there after the flash. There is however a radio thread in the development section if you wanted to try a different one. There should be no negative effects to flashing a different radio (I have yet to encounter one anyway) so find the one that works best for you. Also, if you wanted to try a good rom, Master&Slave makes a couple of deadly ones. Paradox and Tuesday are the names and they are ridiculously smooth, I just had to use setcpu to turn the clocks down a bit though i'm not sure if it was an error i made or if M&S has them cranked to begin with.
With all the ICS leaked roms popping up, what are you guys using for modem / radio? Do those ICS roms run correctly with tmobile GB modems / radios or are you using the ATT modem? if you are using the att modem.. do you still get hspa hspa+?
Sorry if this sounds like a really nooby question.. My girlfriend has a SGSII on Telus, that I rooted a long time ago, but now I'm wondering what roms to put on her phone. Do I have to use a rom specifically for telus? or can any t-mobile rom work? Do I need to flash a new radio or modem?
I have a Telus Note, and I can use any ATT rom available, just wondering if it works the same way for these phones.
Thanks for your help!
You can use any T989 ROM. Not sure if Wi-Fi calling will work on it. Here is a link from a great dev that made a nice ROM based on your ICS update. I've only heard good things about it.

Awesome, thanks for your help!
I've been reading a few threads trying to find the answers, but I still have a few questions.
=> Rooting
Looking into rooting my S3 with the "No Tripping Flash Counter" method, however when I click on the download link for Wind I get 3x files. I'm guessing (by elimination) that the one I need is the "root66_GLW_T99VVLALE6.7z" correct?
=> ROMs
I would like to install the "Speed Rom Beta 1", however the thread doesn't indicate what variant of S3 that is for. I have also found in some other threads that ROM's and kernels from other providers should be ok, but then this post on "DONT WANT A BRICK?" is saying that Wind and Tmobile are not interchangeable. So I'm not sure if I can use this ROM?
Thanks,
Vic.
WIND is Globalive, so GLW is the right one for you.
The WIND SGS3 is compatible with T-Mobile ROMs as long as they don't touch the modem because the modems are not interchangeable. Since people have been saying that CM10 and CM9 works for our T999V, SpeedROM should work too since it's based off CM10.

Thanks. I'll give it a try.
Installed and everything is working except Google now (same scrolling issue other user had reported in the thread).
Had a couple or random reboots this morning, but now my carrier signal shows down and I'm getting a prompt for SIM unlock. Any ideas?
I have read the FAQ for the aokp jellybean release, stated it was designed for the att version but I also found a topic about a member who had trouble with his apn settings on his Rogers phone that was on that rom. So my question is can I flash my s3 with that from?

FWIW, I am on Telus and have flashed many iterations of this ROM and have had no problems with APNs / LTE / HSPA+.
In fact for the last week or so an LTE option has been available for Canadian users which makes this ROM the best IMO.
EDIT: you could always make a nandroid backup of you current setup and try AOKP. If something messes up just reload your nandroid.

Hello Naruto! I am a happy AOKP-Rogers user, no problem whatsoever and I have been updating to the latest rom pretty much every day. Just 2 recommendations, get Titanium Back up Pro and ROM Manager. They will make your life sooo easy
3G works well for me
Cheers from Canada!
JJ
3G working perfectly for me.. try reflashing or do all your cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes... it should work.
Hi, I need some help choosing a ROM.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, SGH-I316M with 4.1.2.
The Baseband version is I317MVLBMA3, and the Kernal version is 3.0.31-861899.
This is originally a Rogers phone, and is unlocked and currently being used with Telus. Rooted as well.
I am looking for a 4.2.2 ROM that is as vanilla as possible. Stability is my main concern, I don't want any issues.
Ideas, suggestions. I have had issues with ROMs and my Baseband/kernal not working great, so that is an important detail.
Flash them all and see for yourself

Have you even looked in the development section? Besides just flash them and see which fits your needs. Or just do some reading in the OP of each rom
