Hi everybody,
I just got my Samsung Galaxy S II X (SGH-T989D) today, and I've found a little bit of info for the Telus version, but I don't know if I'm brave enough to start flashing. If someone could help with a few questions it would be much appreciated!
If I flash things made for the T-Mobile SGH-T989 will it work?
Is affecting my Canadian baseband the only thing I have to worry about?
Is there a section for the Telus version hidden somewhere?
Thanks!!
You can flash any rom from the T-mobile T989, and anything from the Skyrocket (with a little research) Just don't bother with any of the Cyanogen roms theyre just not ready for daily driver duty imo. You won't have to worry about flashing any of the modems unless you want to as flashing different roms doesn't affect the baseband at all. And there is no subsection for the telus version of the T989 as that and the T-mobile version are identical.
Thanks a lot, may I ask what the most developed/stable/performance ROM is for our phone? Thank you.

They're all pretty mature unless your looking at Cyanogenmod or MIUI, Master&Slave makes some good ones, Juggernaut 5.0 is very well done too, and TDJ of Darkside makes a really good kernel. It's all personal preference though so the best I can say is try a bunch out and see what you like best.
Cheers
I think our development fora should be linked with the other 7105 variants, there is significant progress towards CM10 and other AOSP in the AT&T forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018411
But, since there are four (ours, international 7105, AT&T, and Sprint), the devs are scattered, when unity would breed much more success. Our accessories is already linked, how about a linked development (not just the unused developers only forum) or moving threads like this to the linked dev forum? Either way, maybe this will help bring attention to the progress that has been made.
As long as i get aosp before the verizon or sprint varients. Glad to know progress is being made.

This isn't and shouldn'tbe about first, besides once one 7105 variant has a working device tree, we all do.
I am trying to get an idea of what the differences are between the phones. From what I gather so far is there is the international 7105 and its variants which are the tmo att and sprints versions and they are all gsm? Then there is the 7100 international and its variant which would be Verizon and they are cdma? But I thought that sprint was cdma carrier so wouldn't the sprint be in with the 7100 version?
From what I understand the physical and specs are the same for all the phones and the hardware is the same except the radio difference between the two. so the software is the major difference. I know on my last phone the sgs2 the att and tmo versions were almost identical twins the two were able to use roms interchangeably without porting except for minor kernel differences. In the end the only problem was the rotation was messed up. and it was fixed by using a the kernel that was native to the device. Like if you used a att rom on a tmo phone you had to use a tmo kernel with it. and also finally someone came up with a flashable .zip fix for it. The .zip fixed the rotation and also the build.prop so that the right device was in the build.prop. So that is what I foresee here in this situation. It will take time but it will happen. I know that we got some real good devs on the tmo side I haven't checked out the other variants yet but I am sure they got some real good devs too. A phone like this was bound to attract top quality people ( and schmucks like me too) I would definitely like to see a dev only subforum for all the devices or even a forum it doesn't have to be a sub forum because then the info will be fragmented because which forum do you put it in tmo, att, sprint, international. I say make a 7105 variant dev only forum for them to talk and work out some kick ass stuff. Like AOSP and cm and of course the ultimate AOKP. And whatever else they come up with.
7105 = international LTE
Variants include:
AT&T
T-mobile
Sprint
Verizon
7100 = international GSM
7102 = Chinese GSM/CDMA dual SIM
Differences include radio hardware/software.

Coming from HTC since the beginning of my smartphone career... I'd don't know jack about Samsung, Odin, and some other differences but isn't there a way to compile roms without the radio lol? Thta would fix alot. I'm sure there might be various issues between carriers but it should work. I get cmda and dual sim models would be different but at&t model should be able to share. As someone meantioned before, once at&t subforum has their branch... we will too. It just seems that mods separated the forums to cut down on confusion for the end user but it hurts development collaboration between development and hurts the end users who read directions and don't flash stuff blindly. I'm just not used to seeing all this talent wasted by being segregated like this. Obviously there is a reason I'm not seeing... whether due to total incompatibility or something else. It couldn't be that simple, could it?! In the meantime, I'm gonna continue to read up on Samsung development and see if there is anything I can do to contribute... no matter how small or insignificant

there is a way to compile without radios, most of the ROMs do not have radios, or they are optional. Problem is since the radio hardware is different, the kernel needs to be recomplied for the 7105/variants. I will say if they get it on 7105 then AT&T, T-mobile, and Sprint should be easy to get working (sprint would require blobs, T-Mo and AT&T should work out of the box. Verizon would work only if they 1) crack the bootloader or 2) make a special k-sec version of the rom. There is a new dev section that crosses all boards so that should help the devs some. Basicaly if we get 7105 AOSP we get TMO/AT&T/Sprint and possibly Verizon.
I saw on g+ that they got a bootoble version of cm 10 on the note 2 I do not know which model and it was not a dd but it boots. That is a promising sign. We will have it soon. I cant wait. For now I am sticking with stock until a working aokp comes out. That is what I did with my sgs2 when we got ics. I didnt even bother rooting it till aokp came out.
Cmenard said hes got aokp on our note but he s having ril problems...http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_Interface_Layer
Madmack in our forums has a fully working cm10 he says. He's working on getting up on github and then post a flashable version for us to test. Only a matter of time now.

i no longer need TouchWiz if GMD SPen Gestures is working on AOSP/AOKP
that's all I really care about, S-Memo I hardly use anymore.

I barely use spen but it would be cool if it could be included in aosp/aokp.
Check out the dev only sub fourm they are really making some good progress and we got so leagacy devs working on it so it will be soon.
Cannot wait for aosp.

Can we flash at&t roms on our tmobile note 2 ??
I'm a fan of cleanroms.. But the developer doesnt develop for us , he develops for at&t .. Can i just flash his rom without any problem ?

Yes you can. Flash the cm10 floating around but be sure to flash the T-Mobile modem. I won't brick if you forget to but the reception/ signal will be much better. I'm using it as my daily driver. Its fast and amazing.
Disregard my signature. I'm on Tmo t889

To my understanding, yes, you can. I myself am on NOTEorious Prime rom which is based on the N7105 firmware but was made for ATT, all needed to do is flash the Tmo radio to get data and since I like to overclock my devices I also flashed the Note2Core kernel which will work with N7100 and N7105 roms; and on top of that I flashed an AOSP theme made by foreverloco since I can't stand Touchwiz. Overall, the UI looks clean just like AOSP (but of course, it ain't the same:crying but you can also see some elements of Touchwiz here and there...
I mean, this is just for now until a more stable port of cm10 shows up for our Note2, like you, I also like to have a clean rom and not layer upon layer upon layer.

How is the audio working out for you so far? I read they were having issues before... Have you tried flashing a third party kernel? If so, which one?
Thanks.

Audio seems to work fine. You have to make 2 phone calls upon boot in order for calls to work correctly And in the beginning of a call it sounds really low so you have to toggle the volume during a call and the. It will be regular and loud again. Otherwise seems to run great. I didn't flash any modems or extra kernels besides updated one that was in the thread.
I've been reading alot...and... well I'm not sure. I returned my Nexus 4, for various reasons. So I am looking at either the GNII (Note 2), or the GS3.
I am on AT&T btw.
I am mainly wanting a good CM-AOKP rom that will give me stock goodness with all the extra lovely settings. I'd rather not have anything experimental.
Someone told me this phone was just recently unlocked? If he was correct? So am I to assume there are no good daily driver roms?
Can people for god sake stop posting questions in random sections and post in Q&A section?
to be nice an answer your question no one can answer that what fits someone else wont fit you its a trial and error thing, just keep try them until you find the one best suited for you...
Are you looking to buy an at&t version? If yes then this is not the right forum. This is for international GN III. Recently unlocked? You mean verizon GN III bootloaders? If yes then please read more before buying
what? the last part makes no sense at all. and wrong section bro

I'm still on stock and don't intend to switch until something really interesting comes along. has been treating me great and it's fast without all the trouble of custom roms.
Sorry for the newbi like question but are the at&t galaxy s2 sgh-i777 ROMs compatible with our t989? Just wondering because I like a few ROMs that were created for that phone like the shostock ROM with the note 2 features. If not is there a way that one could be ported?
I mean if you want to brick your phone then go ahead, but i advise you to not
btw nothing is impossible so it might be possible to port those roms but they are specifically built for those devices so you answer is no
Hello Everyone im new to this forum. i just recently purchased note 2 and loving it and i want to start rooting and do custom roms. i have t989v note 2 with wind mobile. now my question is would the 1 click rooting method by mike would work? and if so is all roms compatibale with this phone or i have to change radios or baseband. ive been trying to learn about these things for week now and decided to join the forum today. so any help would be much appreciated
Get the note 2 toolkit from the note 2 section it makes rooting very easy as well as installing recovery. Stick with tmobile is the best bet. I've read some guys say they flashed roms from other carriers but I just stick with tmobile roms made for my tmobile phone. And as a first recomendation. I suggest frosty rom amd xone kernel. Great combo blazing fast, awesome battery, and great support from the dev And the the frosty community. And a bit of advice for a newbie..... ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
Edit: just noticed you wind. Search is your best friend. Search for roms that are compatible with your phone. And you can ask around in some of the forums you'll find roms that work. Good luck.
