[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?

You are A ok man! Nothing has done wrong for you so you are in the clear you only need this kernel if you need to get back to stock.

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.

PLEASE HELP possibly soft bricked

I accidently wipe my phones internal storage including backups, Im running latest TWRP and it wont read my sd card. I have a custom rom on the sd card but i cant access via recovery. phone boots to recovery and even download mode but i dont think my usb debug is checked and i cant get thru with odin. Im crunched for time as my wife is coming home in an hour and she will be furious if i bricked my phone i need help restoring before she gets home. thanks.
Heres how I fixed the problem, it was easy after doing but confusing getting there. Since the phone would not boot past the galaxy s3 screen there was no way for me to select USB debugging. That option totally did not allow me to use the Galaxy S3 toolkit listed in android development nor could I select and run any of their lists of "Root" roms because something would happen where ODIN didnt boot it correctly. It ran it at first then "Boot" came on then "Reset" came on then "Pass" came on but nothing ever took. I went to samsung-updates.com selected the ICS factory rom and saved it to desktop. Then I unzipped that rom to unveil the TAR file and flash that via Odin and Bam it ran thru no problems. The problems I ran into earlier were links from other posts and it turned out they were either bad links or not for the phone. I actually tried one guys download link that claimed to be specifically for the T999 us version and it turned out to be for another phone all together Im just lucky that flash didnt brick my device even more. Anyways Odin was my friend it was just a matter of downloading the "Correct" rom. thanks to all that helped I appreciated you all taking the time to answer.

I would download this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746682. You should be able to use your PC to flash your Nandroid, although i have never done that.

It doesn't matter if USB debugging is checked if the phone is off.

when i boot to recovery it boots to manual mode anyone know what to do next?

You can flash stuff from your computer in download mode through Odin. I hate doing it myself, but will try to look it up for you

Boot to Recovery and reset factory defaults. That will fix it. It will still "stick" on that screen, but after a couple minutes, it will continue.

I booted to recovery did a factory reset but it still stayed on the samsung galaxy s3 screen for over fifteen minutes now. I even tried the rom toolbox someone suggested earlier but upon flashing a stock rom it prompts me to check usb debugging and I cant get past that screen.

Stock kernel! That should do the trick! Can't believe I forgot about that. Try that and it will boot up fine.

I was running paranoid android prior to this mess and yes your probably right about the kernel but I have downloaded from samsung-updates.com the ics kernel patch but its in a zip folder so i DL winzip to extract it but that doesnt seem to work either. IS there a stock rom download with a kernel i can download and use with odin?

Found a rom and a kernel in the development section and ran it thru odin and it still didnt take. I noticed that the rom flash thru odin only took about two minutes and not once did i see where the modem cycle was being applied. Still no luck for me. Since my phone does not boot pass the galaxy s3 screen is it possible to get the phone to mount via usb cable and copy the roms to internal storage and install via recovery?

Finally got it working again. Thanks to all that helped.

[Q] Need help. STUCK. Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-T999

So i recently rooted my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III SGH-T999.
I tried out downloading custom ROMs and successfully flashed JellyBean 4.1.1
I then proceeded to dislike TouchWiz and decided to look for a ROM that would remove TouchWiz and replace it with pure Jelly Bean by the help of this thread here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778217
I decided to use CyanogenMod 10
Being the impatient person I am. I decided to copy the .zip file to my external SD card and install it from there.
I am currently on the screen where the the word "CyanogenMod" is surrounded by a blue spinning circle.
I was worried about how long this loading screen was and decided to boot ClockworkMod Recovery and use the touch screen to reset my phone and flash some other ROM.
But whenever i do this, it never goes into CWR and goes straight to the screen with the "warning" and gives you the option to choose continue or restart phone.
When i choose continue, i'm stuck on the odin mode thing.
when i choose restart, it goes straight to the cyanogenmod screen and continues to stay like that.
I am very worried about what this will do to my phone. I NEED HELP.
P.S. I know some of the terms are incorrect. Bear with me, because i'm new to this and i admit i didn't fully research how this stuff works.

your probably going to have to Odin back to stock and start the process over

Thank you very very much. I think i was just overreacting and freaking out. Since this is my first time rooting and everyone saying that it's very risky, i guess i have to learn things the hard way.
I will definitely do more research before i do anything else.
Thanks everyone who helped!

I'm on my phone and typing an entire set of instructions will be tough. First, you need to get to a Windows based computer. Then, go to the December section and download the all in one root .exe (I think it's the first thread). One downloaded, you'll have to install the s3 drives if you have not done so. If you have, then just proceed. You are going to flash recovery again using that tool (, it is very explanatory). Then if you have a good recovery, after that, proceed to flash cm10 again and let that sucker run. If you experience the same thing with recovery, then go to the general thread and look for the one name broken GPS fixed. Or something along those lines. You won't miss it. Then in the last post of the first page, you'll see a link to another site. Follow the instruction on the other site and you'll be back in stock.

[Q] GS3 Factory Reset

I'm wondering how to factory reset because I'm on CM10 and I need to send my phone in for warranty.
The mini usb port on the bottom on the phone doesn't really work.
Is there any way i can download a backup file or something like that to make my phone go back into the original rom and then i can factory reset and unroot?

Get in recovery and make a nandroid backup. You can also use Titanium Backup to backup all your apps and data. You'll have to made a copy of those files on your pc to get them back once your phone is back.
You'll have to reset the flash counter (while you're rooted), flash stock firmware with Odin (can be found in the Dev section) and factory reset in recovery.
Also, backup your pics and such (DCIM folder) to your pc if you wanna keep them.
Last thing, take time to search next time it has been covered quite a few times.

Hednik is right. If you've accomplished a successful odin flash (no errors) go ahead and wipe data/cache in recovery. After flashing stock in odin, it is common for phones to bootloop or stick at the samsung logo. A wipe usually resolves this

When im in the bootloop I have no stock recovery! Like if i held my home and up volume it would do nothing but bootloop
& This will take me from cm10 to stock correct?

If in a bootloop pull the battery and try to get into recovery. I guess I am confused...are you still on CM10 ? Have to flashed stock recovery yet ?
You said you microUSB port does work so getting download mode might be an issue but it you bootloop you should be able to get into stock recovery. Tell us that you have done already so far and where you are

Edit, didn't see someone already posted thus. Flash that triangle away unroot then make sure to clean up all your files from the root of your SD card or any files that might suggest you've modified the device and you should be good to go!

I've never used mobile Odin so I'm not sure. If that's how you flashed CyanogenMod then yes.

Triangle away then unroot then delete any files that might suggest you've been modifying your device.

DL Odin v3.07 on your computer. DL the .tar file to restore your specific device. Put your phone into DL mode and let Odin restore your device.

Same thing happened to me (Couldnt boot into recovery and needed a stock ROM).
This is where I posted, you can find some information there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260948
Like "freakboy13" said, "If you can get into DL mode, you're golden." Don't worry it just takes patience and you have to keep trying.
1. First, you want to find a stock ROM only (normally 836MB zipped and around 1.42 unzipped)
2. Make sure you're using a domestic ROM, not International and make sure you're using your model number. Do you have AT&T? if so search for - SAMSUNG SGH-I317. If not search for the one you need.
3.Flash it using Odin. I used Odin 1.87 I believe, I didn't have to use 3.07.
4. Let us know how it goes. I had to do it twice and it worked so be patient.

Root injected rom from link below since you mentioned you can get to dload mode. Choose correct rom that is for your phone model / carrier.

No...you are "NOT" bricked.....you have a software brick only.
These fine members above me have you going in the right direction.
Make sure you thank them once you get the device rolling again....g

Heres my guide.
If you can get into dl mode "you are golden" :thumbup:
This is a tutorial on how to use the fastest and simplest way back to stock aka Emegrency Firmware Recovery.
This is accessed via kies.
You should do a bit more reading before attempting to use odin. Using odin is not for newbs. Dont just dl apps snd flash stuff with out understanding whats going on. Mobile odin goomanager is great, just know whats actaully going on.
What you a should do is go back to stock via efr. Heres my guide with pics.
