Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem that I have.
I heard that the sgh t989 has a sw update from ics and I wanted to try it out. So I went to the software update feature and it said: no firmware. Is there a fix to this?
Please help.
Thanks

You can either try Kies, or download the update from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ .
Umm....
Kies is telling me that my device is not supported by Kies 2.0
So......
Is there any way I can install the firmware directly from my phone?
Thanks

If OTA doesn't work I think you will need a computer. I sent you a link to the firmware that you can flash with Odin.
Thanks
Can you tell me how to do it?
Im a bit nooby in this section

Have you used Odin before? Perhaps to root your phone?
Do you have the USB drivers installed on your computer? If not, it would probably be a lot easier to flash one of the stock builds from the development section.
Here is one

No I havent used Odin
I just want to install the official jb update on my phone.
If Odin is the only way then I will do it.
I do have all the drivers installed on my computer.
Can you maybe tell me more about Odin and flashing before I actually go and do it?
Also I have unlocked my phone but I dont think it is rooted.

This is a pretty good guide with pictures. Just unzip the file I gave you and substitute it for the one in the guide.
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
I will pm you a link to Odin.
You have to be very careful following this guide because if something goes wrong you could hard brick your phone.
By the way, you will lose all of your settings so you should probably backup before you attempt this.
How will I back it up if kies doesnt recognize my phone
Will I be needing Kies for this?
Btw should i use the method in the link above or the link you pm'ed me

You have to install either TWRP or CWM to make a backup. You don't really need to, though. Unless you want to be able to bring your phone back to where it is now if you don't like jellybean. Installing a new recovery is similar to installing the new jb update.
The first link I pm'ed was for the firmware and the second link was for the Odin program to flash the firmware to your phone.
No, you should not be needing Kies.

Will my data still be there after I update or will it restore and update my phone?
Also will I lose my unlocking with this?

It will replace the whole ROM, so I think your data will be erased. I am not sure about the unlock, but others have said the unlock survives a ROM change.
Umm so lets finalize the whole thing
this is where I should go to update ( also replace their ics firmware with my jb one)
This is the official jb for my phone
This is Odin (which I will use to update my phone)
Is all of this correct?
Also which device should I select from twrp?
Thanks
Tanay
That is correct. Here is the Odin flash able tar of TWRP.

First we will get TWRP installed. Use this guide as a reference http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Turn off your phone. Hold volume up and volume down and plug it into your computer. Now follow the steps in the guide above using the odin program I sent you and the TWRP file.You only need to go up to number 6.
After it reboots, shut your phone off and then hold volume up and volume down and the power button until you feel it vibrate and let go of the power button. You should now be in TWRP where you click backup. Click the check-boxes for everything but internal sdcard. You can also change the backup name to make it easier to keep track. Then just swipe to backup. Don't worry if the screen turns off, it is supposed to do that to save battery.
Once you get that done we can start on the next thing.
Where do I get twrp from and do I use it on my phone or pc?

You use Odin to install TWRP(recovery) to your phone. I think you should read those guides a few times or more so you can get familiar with what you need to do.

Are you expecting it to just power right up.... I'm confused.

Hmmm, unfortunately I'm on mobile and don't have my files and stuff to reference. If you haven't figured this out by tomorrow night, let me know and I can try and figure out where you went wrong. Hope someone helps you before then tho.
In order to help you I need all of this....
Link to Odin download that you used.
Link to the stock rom you used.
What you clicked in Odin, etc and when.
Pretty much everything you did, start to finish.
I currently on ics stock phone but rooted so I can delete bloat. I am currently downloading jelly bean from samsungs website. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999 . I don't want to brick my phone or anything and I am not sure about how to go about this. What is the best way to go about this? Can I just simply open odin and load jelly bean in there and install? How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.
Also when I get jelly bean on will my cwm files work or do I need to wait for a new version to come out?
Flash the stock rooted version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991255
Otherwise you'll need to flash back to stock. Then update
You can't update with a custom recovery like cwm.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I think thats already what I got. I don't have any custom roms or anything. Just stock with root for my current setup. 4.0.4. Can I just upgrade straight to jelly bean then without wiping my data?
In your second post you mention your cwm files. Do you have a custom recovery?
How did you root might be a better question?
Just rooted you can update, but will probably lose root
If you have clockwork (cwm) or twrp recovery the update won't flash

The way I rooted was using the method zedomax posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735561
I did find an article that I think is the answer im looking for. Right now I got odin putting the stock out of the box software back on.
How did you get Odin to do that? I have CWM installed and everytime I reboot the phone (Home, Vol Up, Power) CWM comes up but Odin doesn't recognized the phone as being connected. It will only recognize my phone when it's booted normally into Android.
All I did was follow the steps in the 2nd link I posted. It worked and I just did an update through the settings menu.

It should, though I would recommend a different way.
You can get the root66 firmware from the FW thread linked in my sig. Its just the stock fw, but prerooted.
Flash it via odin and youre done!
If you dont want to mess with the fw you can use the method you posted, but id get up to date files first.
I havent watched it in some time but I think you can get most of what you need from the fw thread, post 2. If you need help finding something else just let us know.

Hi All,
I currently have my phone running Slimbean build 4.1 with CWM installed for my recovery. I want to restore my phone back to stock to unlock it, and give Touchwiz a try again. Whats the best way to do this? I remember reading there was some sort of unlock method using from a stock os, can I still do this?
Thanks in advance.
Download odin for your pc and the stock firmware for your carrier. Use odin to flash the firmware. Both of these can be found in the Android development section.

You won't unlock it for free (perma unlock anyway). You'll either have to get the code from your carrier or buy it online.

Hey Everyone,
I have a Note 2 for AT&T and yesterday it didnt work at all. It showed the Samsung logo while booting and it went away. It only does that when the battery is pulled. After a few hours I took it to the AT&T store and they ordered me a replacement but now the phone can be put into download mode and "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue..." but wont boot past that. I tried using Samsung Kies and nothing. When the replacement comes I will reject it because if I send my old one in they will void the warranty.
While using Odin I get the "Complete(Write) Operation Fails". This morning I downloaded a new firmware (hoping to be the right one) and will follow up.
Anybody have suggestions? :crying:
You say you tried kies ?
Did you try the updater?
Reason I am asking is because you should be using the EFR not the updater when using kies when your phone is bricked or w/e.
Updater wont fix anything.

You will need to flash rom from the link below cuz they are rooted already. Use triangle away to reset counters then unroot using superuser, go to recovery mode and do factory reset in stock recovery. Same steps above I used to put my phone back to official and removed custom / modified status.

I'm just going to root it again using Odin and run triangle app to remove the counter but just keep it rooted and run performance apps. I honestly don't want to mess with the ROMs anymore.. ROMs are no joke and I've learned my lesson.
I rooted my At&t Note 2 with 4.2.2 and it seemed to work fine. Then when I went to get the gapps put on for the google software I ran into an issue. Since I was dumb and didnt create a recovery spot first I have nothing to go back to. Right now my phone is stuck in the "android system recovery" screen where the android guy is laying on his back with a red sign over his open stomach. I have tried to just hit wipe and to reboot it but all it does is restart the phone and bring me right back to the screen. What do I do please help!!! Is it possible to download someone elses recovery and apply update from my SD card??

I don't think so, you're going to have to find out why odin isn't recognizing your device. Maybe Gregg can chime back in but until he does I would suggest re-downloading the sammy drivers and see if that helps.

Are you putting your phone in Download Mode ? Turn off phone, hold down the HOME key, Volume Down and Power Button. You should boot into Download mode, this is what you should be in order to use Odin. Then follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2275844 to return you to stock or flash a custom recovery if you like to stay in a custom rom.
Good luck

Maybe use Kies firmware update and initialization to restore to stock and start over.

Agreed. ..
If the device drivers are correct. ..and Odin can't see the device. ..then Kies is a last resort. .
You should also try another cable as well. ..
Cables must be OEM...or of the same quality. ..and for the same device. .
If these attempts fail. ..continue to try again. ..
The device isn't dead...and if download mode exists...You will beat this issue. ..
Never give up. ..just keep at it. ..g
If Odin can't see your device it only means one thing you don't have proper drivers for it. Reinstall drivers and try again, as long as you can access download mode you are good.

Could be just a bad flash as long as imei is not showing null or weird number which a sign of corrupted imei /efs. Seen it happen before when I flashed att with modem included. All I had to was flash correct firmware and it correcter my baseband and imei.
