Rooting process the same for the T-Mobile T989 and Koodo T989D?

Hi everybody, I recently got a Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D and I wanted to know if the rooting process for my device is the same as the rooting process for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989. I realize there is no section for Koodo's (or Telus') version of the phone on the website, so I had to post here.

You betcha! There is a forum here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434
I used this method and it worked great! Just make sure you use the 3.0.7 efghi signed version of Superuser. I managed to use the other one, but i got the superuser app, but no root access until I used the correct version
Anyway, there you are. Enjoy your SII X!

thanks! I was going to use that guide or the galaxy 2 root "How to Root ICS/GB on T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989!"
but both should work though. The guide you sent me says it's for 4.0.3, will it work for 4.0.4? And you're with Koodo right?

I used the guide on Android forums, only because there were pics, but both work and are the same. And yes, same procees, just use the Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version. And yup! No issues with Koodo whatsoever.

Oh okay, so did you use the process from the link you sent? And it seems the main difference between the two guides is that one uses Superuser 3.0.7 efghi signed version and one uses CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip. While they both should work, I was wondering what the differences between the Superusers were; I think 0.87 is better because it is compatible with future firmware upgrades

Well, there was a link to this guide on that forum -
http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s2-...d-ultimate-root-optimization-guide-steps.html
I used this guide only because it had a few more details than the other, but they are essentially the same steps. Also had some pics.
And about the superusers, i don't know the difference. However I was able to install superSU from the Play Store and also update the superuser version I was using after I obtained root.
So to answer your question, I have no idea haha. Personally I think it would be best to follow the guide, and then try to upgrade after rooting, but it's your choice.
Hopefully this helps, but if not, search is your friend

I sure was. I'm still using it because a few of the ICS roms are a little buggy. I've heard Jedi Mind Trick is pretty good tho. I just wanted something stable and bug free Stock with root woo!
And a little question. I think you are using one too many 8's. Your phone an SGH-T989D correct?

Telus T989D here and flashed using the method in the 2nd post worked perfectly. Used TWRP instead of CWM, rooted easily, even flashed radios (so I could unlock my SIM) back and forth, and installed AOKP.

Hey. i now you are saying that the rooting proccess is the same but do you know if all of the roms and customizations are the same? i am wanting to put CyanogenMod 10.1 RC3 on my Koodo Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T9898D but everything i am seeing is for T-Mobile.
Model number: SGH-T989D
Android version:4.1.2
any other details needed to find out which will work just let me know.

generally everything is mostly the same the only thing you might have issues with is your data you might have to find the APN settings for KODO and make sure to flash the newest radio MC6

Here's my Tip:
When using WIFI Tether, change your profile to Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE).... Works like a champ with no issues.

People come to this thread for rooting, custom ROMS, ect....so I think this is a great place for this thread so they can find all guides in one place.

I agree that this should be in General.
Techfanatic9, this is good work and you keep supporting it which is great, but this would be better served in General.

Telus Mobility Note 2

For anyone out there that is using Telus's version of the phone. I have successfully rooted my unit with CF in and also successfully installed TWRP and made a nandroid. I also listed the stock baseband and model number on my phone. I have already read and seen about 3-5 people that have tried flashing custom roms on there Telus note 2 from the international forum. Do not do that, there is currently as of Nov 11 2012 no custom roms that can be flashed for your Note 2. There is one Kernel
SGH-1317M
4.1.1
BASEBAND I317MVLALJ2

Thanks for the info. I will be receiving mine on Monday.

Actually you can flash the rom of n7105, which is the international lte version. So you can now have the multi-windows feature.

AT&T Galaxy Note 2. I recommend following the video below.
http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-note-2-root/how-to-root-galaxy-note-2-easiest-method/
Pause the video when u too.
After you flash it, Boot up your phone, go to the Play Store and dl GooManager.
Install GooManager, open up GooManager.
Hit the Menu key and choose 'Install OpenRecoveryScript' and 'Yes', it'll install twrp.
Boot your phone into recovery and install your choice of rom from the 'AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 2' forum.
I recommend the JellyThunder Blackout RC3.0 Rom.

[Q] How to root and install custom roms?

Before you ask to search, I have. It's just that I'm a noob and new to Samsung devices as I previously have owned an HTC device. I've searched the thread for many ways to root but I've found around 3-4 different threads and I don't know which one to go by. Also, since I have the Canadian T989D version, does following a T989 root guide and flashing roms that state T989 differ from T989D? Also, how am I able to flash TWRP as the recovery? Thanks and sorry for my noobiness..

Yes, it will work. The main difference to just root your phone from the T989, is the way to put it in recovery mode.

You want to use the D2ATT version. It is the ROM for ATT phone, but the canadian variants are identical. This is your best bet.
