Rooting process the same for the T-Mobile T989 and Koodo T989D?

Hi everybody, I recently got a Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D and I wanted to know if the rooting process for my device is the same as the rooting process for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989. I realize there is no section for Koodo's (or Telus') version of the phone on the website, so I had to post here.

You betcha! There is a forum here

I used this method and it worked great! Just make sure you use the 3.0.7 efghi signed version of Superuser. I managed to use the other one, but i got the superuser app, but no root access until I used the correct version
Anyway, there you are. Enjoy your SII X!

thanks! I was going to use that guide or the galaxy 2 root "How to Root ICS/GB on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989!"
but both should work though. The guide you sent me says it's for 4.0.3, will it work for 4.0.4? And you're with Koodo right?

I used the guide on Android forums, only because there were pics, but both work and are the same. And yes, same procees, just use the Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version. And yup! No issues with Koodo whatsoever.

Oh okay, so did you use the process from the link you sent? And it seems the main difference between the two guides is that one uses Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version and one uses CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. While they both should work, I was wondering what the differences between the Superusers were; I think 0.87 is better because it is compatible with future firmware upgrades

Well, there was a link to this guide on that forum -
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
I used this guide only because it had a few more details than the other, but they are essentially the same steps. Also had some pics.
And about the superusers, i don't know the difference. However I was able to install superSU from the Play Store and also update the superuser version I was using after I obtained root.
So to answer your question, I have no idea haha. Personally I think it would be best to follow the guide, and then try to upgrade after rooting, but it's your choice.
Hopefully this helps, but if not, search is your friend

okay, but you were running 4.04 when you rooted your Koodo Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D right?

I sure was. I'm still using it because a few of the ICS roms are a little buggy. I've heard Jedi Mind Trick is pretty good tho. I just wanted something stable and bug free Stock with root woo!
And a little question. I think you are using one too many 8's. Your phone an SGH-T989D correct?

Woop, yeah you're right. But you used the ClockworkMod Recovery in the original post right, Version 5.0.0.0?

thanks to google and this thread i was able to root my phone too!

Telus T989D here and flashed using the method in the 2nd post worked perfectly. Used TWRP instead of CWM, rooted easily, even flashed radios (so I could unlock my SIM) back and forth, and installed AOKP.

Hey. i now you are saying that the rooting proccess is the same but do you know if all of the roms and customizations are the same? i am wanting to put CyanogenMod 10.1 RC3 on my Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D but everything i am seeing is for T-Mobile.
Model number: SGH-T989D
Android version:4.1.2
any other details needed to find out which will work just let me know.

generally everything is mostly the same the only thing you might have issues with is your data you might have to find the APN settings for KODO and make sure to flash the newest radio MC6

You can use Odin to put CWM to ur phone, then flash Super user. All those files and step by step guideline is available as sticky notes in our forum.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure I've read in the forums that people have successfully rooted, using Chainfires auto root, you could also use mobile Odin to flash the Rom and keep root that way.
Swyped, from my finger to your face, on my Samsung Galaxy Note II

Yeah, exact same.

CWM flashable stock ROM?

Hi everyone, I've been looking for a stock ROM that I can flash through clockwork mod, I dont have a backup anymore due to my house burning down about 1 week and a half ago. It would really help if someone could link me to a rooted rom that has the latest build for sprint along with the latest kernel, or to let me know if I can even return back to stock without losing root and using a PC
Thanks guys

Thanks! Will do
But isn't that a custom ROM? I was looking for a just plain stock ROM, thats flashable through cwm

That is a stock rooted ROM with no extras. That is the latest android version.it is just like the ota update that would come from sprint. If you don't want to be rooted anymore than you Odin back to stock

Thanks dude, freakb18c1 sent me a link to a complete stock rooted ROM on sextape's site, but it was also uploaded here in xda as well. Here's the link for future reference for anyone else that's looking as well
