Ok so from what i've read on other threads i just need to get the stock rom and flash it with that. Anyone know how i can get the stock rom for my SGH-T989? I tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1858435 but don't know if these are actually the roms i can use. Also i have samsung keys but need the code for the firmware first.
Anyone help me out?
What recovery are you using? Are you doing a full wipe of system/cache/data before installing?
See the screens below. Its easy to get this running on your t989. Use the most recent twrp, wipe down the phone and things will work. I don't use any scripts either, just the recovery wiping options.

You need to get twrp recovery or get cwm touch recovery. dark side cache and super wipe use with cwm because doesn't always wipe clean

Did you use Darkside Super Wipe on a 6.x.x CWM recovery? Because that will get you into a bootloop as the Darkside wipes are meant for 5.x.x recoveries. You will have to reflash and wipe cache/data instead of superwipe if that's the case.

That's actually good to know. I used to use those back in the gingerbread ROM days on this device, but hadn't recently. I'll steer clear.

Ok so I found myself stuck in the bootloop you described. I am using CWM 6.0.2.7 and had recently flashed, Cyanogenmod 10 and then most recently AOKP 4.2.2 on my T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 (hercules) T-989. I was having serious battery drain issues with the AOKP and tried to reflash cyanogenmod 10 but also flashed gapps 4,2,2. This was done on accident and Cyanogenmod 10 ran very buggy for like 15 minutes. I cleared all settings and cache using the various options in CWM. I then did use Darkside Super Wipe which was on my sd card. After running Darkside I am stuck in the Cyanogenmod 10 bootlogo. I can access CWM but cannot seem to get it to flash anything appropriately. Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You need to find a tar file of your recovery to flash in Odin.
OK sorry for the long delay I apologize. I did reflash the OEM TMobile rom which actually was an upgrade to 4.1.2. Battery life is still horrible after reflashing. I would to go back to Cyanogen Mod 10 but anything from Cyanogen Mod gets stuck at the boot logo. I need help completely eliminating any trace of ROM installs so that I can reinstall Cyanogenm Mod 10 and use that ROM without any problems or battery drain. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. I had OK battery use with Cyanogen Mod 10 but drain has gotten worse even with OEM ROM. Are there remnants of other rom installs that may be interfering with functionality?

^^this!
I was in a similar situation as you are... I used Darkside Superwipe on CWM 6 and then I was no longer able to flash any more zip files. I described my experience in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427906
I still don't know what exactly is going on with my phone (which is why I posted the thread - I'm not sure what will happen if/when I upgrade to CWM 6 again), but I was able to get CM 10.1 running by flashing CWM 5.0.2.7 from Odin and then flashing Darkside Superwipe + CM 10.1.

I just tried to backup a ROM in CWM Recovery on my permrooted and S-off G2. it got to "Backing up system" and then said "Can't mount /system/!" and stopped the backup. is there something i'm not doing right here? Any help would be appreciated.

Which ROM are you using?
i was using a Gingerbread ROM, and i booted into recovery to make a backup so i could try a MoDaCo ROM. i tried doing the backup and it said "can't mount /system/!".. but i havent been able to reproduce the issue. maybe it was a one-time thing.
I have been experiencing this problem for over a week now. Same error I receive when I try to flash a file using Rom manager.
This problem happened to me after running fix permissions in Rom manager. I've had no luck on this good thing I have my phone stable.
Thanks for any help on this.
I'm runninng ROM CM 6.1.1

Your problem is that the Gingerbread ROM uses EXT as its format instead of yaffs. CWM was written with yaffs in mind. I had the same problem with the Gingerbread ROM, but I was able to get the Froyo ROM back on and CWM worked again.

Try flashing it through recovery. I only use ROM Manager to download the ROMs in question.
I am having the exact same problem. Gingervillian 1.5. So the solution is to go back to the froyo rom and this will fix itself? Forgive me I am a noobie.
you need to flash CWM3.0 or above. flashing ginerbread formats system into ext4. earlier versions of CWM on read up to ext3.
thanks button at the bottom.
I want to tap the thanks button -- i really do -- but I am running version 3.0.0.7, I am not sure if that is the answer. Thanks for the fast response by the way.
Now the recovery is listed as clockworkmod 2.5.1.3 -- but I cant find any later versions.

No that is not the awnser, you are running Rom Manager 3.0.0.7, you need to install ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 they are two diffrent things, you will know if you have flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 by booting into recovery and if the letters are green you do not have the right recovery for GingerBread, the letters will be orange if you have CWM recovery 3.0.0.5(GingerBread Recovery) installed.
Here is a LINK to the CWM recovery for Gingerbread 3.0.0.5
You need to flash the new recovery (CWM 3.0.0.5) in Fastboot mode or use the Flash_image method(this will work for any of the Gingerbread Roms CM7, GingerVillian, etc.).

This is CLockWorkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 for Gingerbread 2.3 Roms.
This is ClockWrokMod recovery 2.5.1.3 for Froyo 2.2 Roms.
You are a $%^# animal! Damn that worked like a champ. This android stuff is like greek to me but I am amazed at what many in these forums know.
Thanks again and here is your thanks!
I tried the flash_image method but it did't work (got stuck at white screen with htc logo when rebooted). I was lucky to be able to reflash 2.5.1.3 from Rom manager. I'm running a gingerbread rom (which I love) but I dont have the guts to try out the fastboot method (eng hboot is scary stuff..).
Huh... if u of clock work u should download a rom then mount ur sdcard put the rom in ur sdcard and flash the new rom with clockwork.

It doesn't matter now. ROM Manager is flashing 3.0.0.5, which now works with Gingerbread and Froyo ROMs.
Ok, maybe a stupid question, but I'm running 2.5.1.3 and I clearly need to update my Rom Manager. I've tried redownloading it, but it always launches as 2.5.1.3. I notice that there is an option when I launch it which says Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Is that what I need to choose to update to the latest version? I don't want to click it and find out it reformats to phone or something.
EDIT: I figured I might as well click it and find out what happens. Turns out that is the solution. I'm now able to back up CM 7.0.3. Whew!!
Okay, so I had my galaxy s4 running wicked v1. Running twrp recovery.
I made a huge mistake by not backing up before I updated to v2. I do a full wipe and flash the rom as standard procedure goes. I get locked at the Samsung galaxy s4 screen forever... I try to restore a backup of the stock firmware and it fails.
I decide okay, I'll just Odin back to stock. Fine right? Wrong... my computer crashes in the middle of downloading the .tar. my hard drive is fried. My s4 is soft bricked. I have no computer to Odin back to stock. Any ideas?

Can you get into recovery mode at all or just odin? If you can only get into odin then you will have to find another computer...friends or family and odin that way...I dont know of any other way for you to odin to stock... Sorry. If you could get into recovery mode then we could do something but you say your soft bricked which usually means you can only get into download mode...if you get lucky and are able to get into recovery mode let me know.

Yes I can get into recovery mode just fine, I have also downloaded a couple different roms onto my sd card and am trying to flash them via recovery but I'm getting no dice. Either that or I'm extremely unlucky and can't get a proper download

yes, I have done a full factory reset. Fix permission fails. I have tried flashing stock Rom, it says success every time and success after every wipe. I just keep getting locked up at that screen. No matter what.

I had the same issue after installing stock via odin but a complete wipe after installation fixed it. Sucks that your PC is dead or it would of been fixed already. GL to you.

I new replacement phone which I rooted and am running stock gb27. Try to flash custom rom and every time it just goes to Galaxy splash screen then returns to recovery. I'm stumped. Not new and I follow instructions to a t. Nandroid back to stock rooted and try again. Sometimes I use one click to return to stock, then one click the recovery so I can nandroid. I also have the yellow triangle. Maybe I rooted the wrong way. I use agats recovery. And mobile Odin pro to flash el26 or 29. Stumped!

I have never seen that on my phone, it either bootloops or loads. Did you try to wipe C & DC when it boots to recovery?
Yes, tried everything. El29, x2 format, flash rom, reboot. Goes to Samsung screen, then flashes screen, Samsung screen flashes briefly, then goes to recovery. Tried to wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. Just does the same thing.

That means a kernel its not getting flashed, the EL29DB kernel is a recovery only kernel so if you boot out of it goes straight back into recovery. Try redownloading the ROM.

I have a similar problem I have gb27 stock but rooted . I have not been able to find a way to install clockworkmod so that I can do a nandroid backup or restore anything . Is it just not possible to install clockworkmod to this device running stock rooted jellybean 4.1.2 ? I don't want to install any custom roms . I just want to be able to back up the phone and restore if needed . I'm stumped too .
Did it. First made sure rom was on phone sd. Redownloaded x2 format. Used mobile odin pro to get el26, x2 in recovery,zipped rom, zipped agat gb27 kernel, gb27 modem just to be sure.and worked.

If you go to rwilco website you can download agats trec kernel there and use mobile odin or the one click from pc. It's not cwm but will give you recovery to nandroid. I don't think there is cwm for jelly bean.
I had this problem with every ROM, when you load the boot animation to give his first vibration when you start to put your information, freezes and restarts. restarted like 5 times. download all the 4.3 Roms to the forum t989 but all feel the same.
Wipe the internal and external memory. so try and nothing. I went back to Stock Rom 2.3.6, I redid the Root. everything perfect. UVMC6 also install radio perfect, but still, still doing the same. I have a backup copy of AOKP 4.2.2 and as I have been much with it, I want to upgrade to 4.3 or 4.3.1 any help would really really bothers me and trying everything to update and no fun.

I am on TWRP 2.6.1.0 as well.
I install the rom only no gapps or anything extra and let it boot and see what happens.
I know it may not be poss now but you could try taking out your ext-sd card and simm card and boot just from the internal drive.
I don't know that it would help but it can't hurt and it reduces variables.

try another board that had saved because it has the USB damaged. try to set you up for the 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 and also gave me freeze and reboot. and wipe everything very well. I can not be!. but a problem has to see. do not know if I can be my navigation buttons are damaged (broken wire). believe you can be what makes my phone restart?
I had this issue i just updated my twrp. Maybe you should download TWRP from a different source? Maybe the one you have is corrupted or something . IDK try everything.
this doesn't help any, just wanted to confirm the same issue. Anytime I flash ROM above 4.1.2 on this phone it crashes in some way. any custom ROM

Hello, I was flashing a couple roms last night and I decided after trying Paranoid Android Legacy and CarbonROM that I just wanted to do a clean wipe and go back to Cyanogenmod. Doing a full wipe has never been a problem for me except now in CWM I can't get root to stick, no matter what I do, and whenever I'm in recovery, I can't adb push or sideload anything to my device. I even tried installing drivers through Zadig to make a connection and that didn't work. Anyone know how I can get root to stick?

Neither. Download the recovery that ends in ".zip" (there are three different files, another is .tar) then go into recovery and flash it. Then go to the "Reboot Recovery" option. And once it reboots you'll be in Philz Recovery.

But the problem is that I can't get anything pushed over to my phone while in recovery. Adb says it can't find my device, even though I have drivers installed for it.

Then use Mount USB under Mounts & Storage or boot the phone and download the file and go back to recovery and flash it.

I don't have that in my CWM. All I have is mount system, cache and data, and then format those along with data/media. I formatted everything, literally everything, all I have is recovery. Its never been an issue before though, so I dunno what the issue is.

Actually, I just got Heimdall to work with flashing PhilZ and now I'm able to mount USB storage. I personally think Odin is garbage but that's just me

At least you got Philz installed now just make backups ever so often....
Yeah, make at least one of backup so you don't get stuck in this situation again. Really, you should be making a backup before you flash anything, every time.
