Hello forum,
I purchased a SGH-T889V Galaxy note 2 and tried to root it. The whole time i was under the impression it was the N7100. Obviously it was not and now i've screwed the phone where you get the yellow triangle thiingy. I need the original rom as i have looked high and low and there is nothing out yet. Its the Wind version of the phone launching here on |Oct 30th.
PLEASE HELP!!
I've tried everything but nothing seems to work..i.e. Samsung Kies, Odin..etc..
thanks!

Anyone has the rom or odin flashable rom or an image for this SGH-t889v???? please help...
Hi. Google checkfus. Download it and use it to pull official firmware from Samsung servers then use Odin to flash it to your phone.

There is nothing for this phone on checkfus webversion... yet. But yes OP, do download checkfus and check it often to see if anything pops up for you to use... Maybe there already is something available that I just couldn't see in the web version.
Thanks guys for the recommendations. I'll keep an eye out. Right now I have an $800 brick on my desk.

I got it from a reseller off Kijiji and not sure which bands are supported since there was no box. I know it sounds shady but it's not!!! I was using it on Bell for a whole day before this madness happened

hmm I am not sure how to do that, if you can direct me to a tutorial I'd definitely do it.I am not sure if that can be done actually, since it's not rooted. Anyways, if I get time during the weekend I'll look it up and do it myself.
PS: I think we got it from the same seller lol

I have both snail mailed and emailed (directly to the CEO) VZW. No response...and it's been about a month since I mailed their corporate headquarters.
If I were a betting man is say by January... just a guess though. Happy flashing!

Category is "Mobile Phones" and search for "LS970"
Oddly there are two different versions. Even more oddly, searching for "970" (the generic number for the Optimus G) the Sprint version is the only one available, even though the International and AT&T versions have already been released.
I don't suppose this will help much in getting the bootloader unlocked but good to have at least. Will be useful if we do. No one is worse than HTC about releasing source.
The bootloader is almost unlocked. Follow progress in #lg-optimus-g at freenode

Most devices don't get the resources that sextape gave us, so they rely on guesswork primarily. We are very lucky to have thecubed also who is doing all of the actual unlocking and has experience with lg devices and bootloaders.

Hey, i want to ask something, is that possibilty to get "an unlocked bootloader" is just for spirint,at&t or something related to carrier? I'm living in turkey and probably i will be able to get international one but i don't want to live with lg updates forever, so could you guys give me an idea?
Sorry for my awful english and ignorance...

I'm assuming that if one gets unlocked, then the process for unlocking the other variants will be fairly the same if not the exact same. So if one gets unlocked, then they should all be able to be unlocked, assuming that all of the variants are locked down the same. Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken.
Awesome. I really wanted a Nexus 4 but I guess I'll settle for it's step brother.
Can't wait for boot loader unlock. I want my own franken nexus

Great news- about to pre-order, think a non-removable battery is a deal breaker? Invariably seems I need to pull the battery at some point.

I don't think it's a problem. I have a Nexus 7 with a sealed battery and I've never had to worry about it. Any times that it completely locked up (including while in fastboot), I can hard reset it by holding all the buttons down for a while.

Agreed. Same for my galaxy tab 10.1. You'd think it'd be an issue, but there are other ways to enhance the juice pack and other ways to force reboots.

Yea you did. This is the third post I have posted in. Foxhound is for i9300 devices. This ROM cannot be used on US/Canadian variants. The other two people I posted for also flashed and also hard bricked.
Your only bet is to contact your network provider and see if they will replace it or pay between 60-80 USD for a JTAG resurrection.

If you just got it, there's no harm in trying to get an exchange. Simply say you woke up and your device no longer boots. It has worked for me in the past, and, reportedly, one of the previous mentioned foxhound victims.
In the future make sure you stick with your devices codename and model number (d2att =ATT, d2tmo = Tmobile, d2spr = Sprint, d2vzw = Verizon). model is i747.
Galaxy S3 is a very touchy device and in my experience very easy to hard brick.
Good luck with your exchange!

Can someone please explain why I bricked my galaxy s3 phone. I have a Samsung galaxy S3 sgh-t999. Phone had a 4.1.1 system and it was rooted. I installed MS Team HD 11.0 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886332 after installation was completed phone asked to reboot and never came back. Black screen and no buttons responding. Was that rom not for my phone? Also that Rom was in the phone memory not SD card.
That would be because you flashed a rom for the i9300 international model not for the t999. It is always important to read read read before diving into things. Sorry to hear your situation.

Look on the forum directory.
It reads "> Samsung Galaxy S III I9300, I9305 > Galaxy S III Android Development >"
from that we can assume that all posts made in this section are for international S3 devices.

You can either pay to have it jtag or you can just call tmobile and tell them you don't know what happened. You gotta have insurance though. Don't worry about the no warranty fee cause they won't be able to tell anything about the phone in that condition because nothing works lol. ....reason I know is cause I did the same thing to my sprint s3.
