Official OTA and rerooting afterwards - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

So my SGH-t989 is constantly prompting me to update. My buddy at tmobile says it's the long awaited Jellybean upgrade.
But I have not found a solid confirmed rooting method. Im at the moment just interested in using the stock firmware. that being said has anybody rooted the stock JB on a sgh-t989 GS2?
Please direct me to the relevant guide if you have.
Thank you in advance.

According to the T-mobile website it is just minor ICS update. See: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3029

Videotron to ever get updates?

Hey,
The great Videotron is still running on 4.0.1 and im pretty anxious to get 4.0.4, wondering if anyone has gotten the update yet.

Its not dependent on your carrier, its dependent on the build of yakju your phone has on it. You're better off finding that out and associating that build with the discussion.
Baseband version:
I9250UGKL1
Build number:
ITl41F.19250UGKL1
Sorry, new to all this android stuff. But not getting major software updates really enervates me.

Don't see anything about yakju.

Videotron is a Canadian carrier, so that would presumably be yakjuux. No other update other than yakju appears to be live yet.
Canadian yakjuux is now at 4.0.4 actually, same as Yakju.
I'm running a GNex on Rogers.
Keep checking. Check threads for an OTA link or something.

Hey dice62,
Could you elaborate on what an ota link is? Like I said I'm new to this.

Did you actually get an OTA update or did you update manually from that thread? Only one person, OP of that thread, has actually reported getting an OTA for yakjuux. Otherwise it appears to be a leak or accidental release. The version and kernel are older than yakju, and OP even said he got the notification a week before Google even announced 4.0.4.
The url is there, I just view it as more of a curiosity than 'live'.
Edit:
He's talking about this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575011
A collection of update url's and how to install them are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
How do you know whether you're running jakju or jakjuux?
Also, what are advantages of rooting a phone if it voids your warranty? How easy is it to do? Can you unroot?
Definitely don't expect someone to make a writeup about it, but a link to a "how to" and faq would be awesome.

Yakju*
use this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
If "Google" then you're yakju. If "Samsung" then you're some yakjuxx variant.

You don't have to root to flash yakju. just unlock the bootloader and flash images. It doesn't void your warranty. If you do choose to root, yes you can unroot and always restore back to stock.

People have literally been flashing these to yakju for months now. There are threads and step-by-step how-to's all over.

JRN84D Stock question

Will anyone that has installed the stock JRN84D ROM from this thread, know if it will update OTA when subsequent updates come from Google?
I've asked in the thread, but the answer has got lost somewhere in the mire I'd imagine.
I'd assume so, considering its the same build as the Google I/O attendees are getting. Would assume they would OTA them, but they may expect that because they're developers, they would update themselves.
Nobody knows apart from El Goog.
As I understand it, no. You only get ota's if you're on the most recent official stock rom. You will only be able to install the ota if you have not changed anything on the official rom. I may be wrong but from experience that's what I think

yes it is, but i was referring to the radio that comes with it and the 4.0.4 in the dev thread was the koodo base no? shouldn't this be the tmobile one? they're not all the same. but ehh.... tmobile base usually sucks anyways.
Yes you are right the baseband is new as well and it is UVLH1 the kernel version is 3.0.8 I guess I will give this a try for a week completly stock then back to good old AOKP. I just like trying the stock stuff. I gotta say I was very impresed with the first version of ICS that we got. I didnt even root it or anything till AOKP was official for the t989. I got super good battery life and everything was stable so lets see if this update holds up. Good job samsung.
Blech. Kies fail.

Is Isis finally here? Can we finally start paying for things with our phones' NFC?
Hi all,
I found this firmware at sammobile.
Please find it by the link below.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T989&pcode=TMB&os=1&type=1#firmware
I am not sure if I posted at the right place.
Just tell me if I posted wrong and I will remove it.
Enjoy...
I already got the uvlh1 system folder with the apps, libs, build prop, and etc and also the .tar. I took the radio and made a flashable zip of it its in the dev section. I tryed to upload it on dropbox but it said the file is too large. Which is the best file sharing site so i can upload the large files so i can post it here ? But i guess the devs already has it.

Looks like the real deal.
just updated from stock rooted and i've noticed that the notification bar's clock is slightly larger, the wifi calling icon has changed, the power bar in the notification bar have also changed and seem faster at starting bluetoot, wifi settings. and i can confirm that the change is 4.0.4
I couldn't find a change log on the site anywhere. Anyone else?

VirginRom as of now is already on 4.4. Perhaps you downloaded an outdated version of it. The 4.4 kitkat update people are awaiting for is the one with TouchWiz.

So you now have VirginROM 4.4.x? Is it the same one that's been available in the Android Development section since like December? Because if so, it's the official 4.4 update and it IS out and has been for a while now.

Pardon the comments which seem like objections, but they are necessary if the content of your post is not exactly accurate. The GPE 4.4.2 has been available for a long time for this device. The official TW 4.4.2 is not available yet. Don't confuse the two. Also, of course the GPE update notification will occur if you're on the older version of Virgin Rom(4.3). But if you have a custom recovery it will fail to install most likely. Also, the title of your post fails to recognize the complexities of going from 4.3 to 4.4 on an older bootloader and having a fully working result.
I think your intentions were nice, but you may end up misleading people.
Mods can you delete this thread please.
