[KERNEL] T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Stock Kernel // UVKID

T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II Stock Kernel // UVKID
Finally guys we have root access and with root access that brings goodies, this is one of those goodies.
Explanation
What we have here is a stock boot.img (imagine that Samsung changing things up again on us) pulled from a rooted (via recovery) T-Mobile SGH-T989 (Samsung Galaxy S II).
With this you can recover your phone using ODIN, in the case of a brick or just to return to a factory state.
Initramfs for Developers
I have extracted the boot.img and posted it up for all developers on my github.
Code:
https://github.com/bubby323/stock-initramfs-UVKID-galaxysII-tmo
Downloads
Also to restore you're phone I have a nice little tar file that will take care of the job for you that you can grab from here.

How to Flash
We are going to be using Odin in this explanation to flash the stock kernel to your phone.
Downloads
First you are going to want to start by downloading all the needed files onto your computer and then place them onto your Desktop.
Samsung Kies
Odin3-v1.85.zip
SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID.tar
Process
Once you have everything downloaded and on your desktop, you are going to want to first install kies.
After this is done you should restart your computer for proper driver installation.
Next, extract Odin to a new folder on your Desktop. Leave the tar in the form it is.
Now, open up Odin by double clicking the .exe in the folder you extracted it to.
The most important step is now, you need to put your device into Download/ODIN mode so your computer will recognize it and be able to flash to it. To do this simply turn your phone off completely (or pull the battery). Then you are going to want to use the following button combination to force your device into download mode:
Hold the volume up/down and power button all at the same time.

Click to collapse
Now ODIN should have recognized your device ( it may take a while for the drivers to complete installation so don't panic the first time).
Lastly, we want to click on the PDA button and then search for the SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID.tar we download earlier and placed on the Desktop.
If all of the above has taken place you are free to hit the Start button.
Done!
If all has gone well at this point the flash should be proven successful and your phone should reboot like normal.
If so, please feel pressured to give yourself a pat on the back, that was tough!

Is this method better then slayher?? Method?

This is not a method for obtaining root. It's reference material, and also a way to return yourself to stock if you flash a hosed kernel.
If you already have a stock kernel, I am 90% certain that this will do absolutely nothing.
But having a "return to stock kernel" path AND a fresh initramfs are major milestones for development.
You're not at risk, you should be perfectly fine using slayher's method, but if you screw up, this will be a component of your path back to a working phone. But it's only useful if you screw up, you're a kernel developer who wants a clean initramfs for reference, or need to return your phone back to 100% stock. However, if you're in one of those three categories, this is a critical milestone.

This will put stock recovery back on also right?

[Q] Files from a ROM around?
I've asked this before and I should probably shut it, but if anyone has files from a ROM that works with ODIN or a ZIP file (CWM compat or not), root or unrooted (doesn't matter), or a NANDROID backup, could you let me know?
I got stock kernel up, CWM recov, but broke my actual OS- since it broke, I done flashed /data /emmc /system to empty out my stomach. I really just need everything from / (minus your personal data, of course) - can get it to work with a recovery by myself (and can post that up if I do).
Thanks in advance, bruvs.

I understand Panic Mode but you need to step back and take a breath before you "fix" anything.
They are right here.

ok so you can get to recovery? Flashing Roms will not allow it to boot am I correct? I would factory reset, Wipe system, data, cache, dalvik, flash a working rom with a verified md5, wipe cache and dalvik again. reboot

yes it needs to be in download mode and you need a tar file. It sounds like a bad SD card. Keep the file on your pc. Plenty of rooted and stock tar files around...

Yes only in download mode and you can battery pull if need be just not while flashing and keep it plugged in

I screwed up and now it's stuck at the logo

I rooted it had a ton of apps on it and I just couldn't leave it alone. I couldn't figure out why I rooted it and then my Shealth quit working. So, I decided to install a different rom. Which I assume was back to factory. Well then I didn't have the dual window feature and couldn't get it on there either. So, tried to flash another rom. Well that didn't work now it just says Galaxy S4 and stuck there. 2 of the roms that I try to flash won't even work for some reason. This is TMobile.
One of them is this: ! SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL That one didn't work.
Did this one: I9500_Omega_v3.0_X.....
I don't know where to start or begin now. Been trying to fix this for the last 6 hours and it is 5:00 am in the morning. I am going to have to sleep on this one.

Isnt is for Tmobile US versions??
You screwed up by flashing i9500 Rom man. May be u made softbrick before which leaves u option to go back to stock by odin but after u flash international rom you are screwed totally.

Oh Great. I thought the 9500 was the us version. So what is the US version. I can still get into recovery so I would assume i can still flash another rom.
I see it is the 9505. That is what I get with no sleep.

You probably installed the I9500 ROM and soft bricked the device. the same thing happened to me a few months ago with my s3. go to samsung-updates.com and install the SGH-M919 stock rom. then, go to download mode and flash that ROM with odin. the same thing happened to me when i was a noob with ROMs. a soft brick is actually quite easy to recover from. at least it wasnt a hard brick.

This is exactly what I need. However the download on that page is not working.

I am still having trouble. I have no idea why. I have rooted every phone that I had with no problem. But this should be so simple and it's not
When I first rooted Shealth stopped working. Then I was going to just forget about it. But it was something that I wanted to use. So after a few days I decided I wanted it to work. I didn't see that anyone else had this problem. So I downloaded what I thought was the US version but guess it was not. I installed this new rom. Well now I had 2 problems. No multi window and still my shealth didn't work.
Then I thought oh crap I forgot to do a wipe. So I did a wipe and re-ran the rom. Well that is where I got stuck. I can not get passed the S4 Screen still. I can get into recovery, flash the rom (the rom flashes in like 1min which sure does seem fast). I then reboot and get right back to the s4 screen. Can't get passed it.
So here is my question. These tar files that I keep downloading. They are all zip files. If I wanted to flash them via odin as one told me to do I can't because it is a zip. Am I supposed to unpack this or change the extension from zip to tar?
Been without my phone for almost 24 hours and driving me nuts. At this point I would be glad just to see a working phone.

If it is the stock tar file you need to unzip it. The tar will be in the zip file. It will have an extension of tar.md5 if memory serves.

Sounds like you lost system files. If you can still get into stock recovery, then reformat system and then flash a stock rom. From there, you'll have to reroot.

Ok I downloaded a stock rom and unzipped it. I then did a search for tar and it couldn't find it. I couldn't find it manually either. So now I am converting the whole zip file to a tar. Gonna take a while for 1.6 gigs

OK, your first two links are custom Roms you flash in recovery. You don't unzip those. The last one, k0nane's thread, that's the stock firmware. Unzip and use Odin to install it.

If its saying modded, that's not the one you flash in Odin. That's a custom ROM. For Odin, its the one in k0nane's thread. The last link you posted.

Did a hard reset and I still have root?

Why do I have root and a custom rom (I was running ktoonsez kernel before i did the hard reset) when I hard-reseted my phone?
I'm trying to make my phone like it came out of the box.
With no root or anything. With the original kernel and stuff.
How do I do that?

I don't think hard reset can make your phone look like out of box.You have to flash stock rom with Odin to return to stock.

yep is too easy if you read and if you have a doubt read again, follow these steps...good luck

a hard reset does a factory reset too if i'm not mistaken which only wipes /data /cache and dalvik. doesn't touch system or boot which is where the rom and kernel are, respectively. therefore doesnt get rid of root

It is so... not hard, its easier then buttering toast, if you can adjust the sound volume on a pc or navigate a standard windows xp/7 o.s , you can odin a tar file to a galaxy phone .. it takes literally 5 min from dload file time / to flashing finished.
In fact you have the easiest phone to deal with be :thumbup: thankful not a motorola or htc.

Puting a galaxy any galaxy back to stock requires what wr call removing root and more importantly getting stock 3e recovery back. Its only done by flashing the stock out of the box firmware, otherwise known as a tar.md5 file.
You search in GOOGLE,for
"M919 uvuamdl stock tar. "
Dload it to computer then extract file to desktop or a folder
Next Download odin and open odin,
Connect phone to usb cable to the computer. You will see in odin top left corner a com port when your phones recognized the port will be yellow and say com with a # like com8 for example.
Select pda in Odin, it will direct you to the folder you put the tar file in and select open.
Then click start in Odin.When its done itlll say reset/pass .flashing takes 3-10 minutes on average the s4 takes little longer than older galaxy's used to.
Your all done Back to as STOCK AS YOU CAN GET

i'm actually downloading it right now its taking 2 hours tho.. so im just going to have to wait lol hope to god it works if not guess i'll have to use a insurance claim

if you can get in to download mode you have nothing to worry about. as long as it's not a hardware problem that really wasn't caused by flashing.

This just happened to me. I had to put it in download mode and do a restore through samsung kies.

I just did the same thing...I wiped everything then the zip file was corrupt and instead of restoring I rebooted the phone, now the phone boots straight to download mode and odin wont do anything as it's waiting on usb debugging to be enabled....
ugh!

I had this scare too!
You need to use the One Click Restore method found here :
Mirror 1 (Latest Version) - goo,gl/PZgtX
Mirror 2 (Older Version But Might Be Faster) - goo,gl/L9Nct
IMPORTANT: You Need To Install goo,gl/ETEQs If Your Computer Says The Installation Failed Use a Different Computer Because That Will Not Work!
I had this problem just yesterday and had to figure it out by myself. This will solve your problem.
