SGH-T989 vs SGH-T989D

Hi, I might have a chance at getting a deal on a SGH-T989D from a former Telus customer. But almost all the roms here are described as being for the SGH-T989. Are these phones not the same where you can run the same roms? Definitely don't want to buy a phone that has no developer support even if the deal is good.

It can run the same rom.

If you are on TMO you should be able to flash a TMO radio without any issues as well ..... as long as the phone is UNLOCKED ...

What's the"d" stand for?

both models are identical, down to the D

Yes I am confused about this as well. If these phones are identical and can both run the same roms, then why THIS post indicating that the roms in this forum are only for *TMobile* GSII's? With emphasis put on TMobile.
Thanks.

I'm using the Telus version (T989D) and as far as I can tell, the only difference is the button combo to get into download mode. I've flashed a number of roms from this sub forum and they don't work any differently.

Mainly to differentiate from the i9100 SGSII variants.
Also, the T989D has no exterior Telus branding.

I keep reading they are the same but I have not been able to get any of the ICS ROMS for the T-Mobile ROMS to work on my Telus phone.

It's really hard to get the ICS ROMs to work sometimes. They seem to be pretty finicky. I've read some users have had to do a Superwipe, flash the ROM, then wipe the data and cache again and reflash.
I can confirm that Racing's, RaverX3X's and the Cleansed ICS are all capable of running on my T989D.

Are you sure these two are identicial in terms of hardware?
then Why can't I odin flash stock T-mobile ROM?
Odin flashing Stock Telus ROM is no problem.

They are identical hardware-wise. Why would you want to flash the stock T-Mobile ROM? Telus is less bloated.

Yes of coarse, believe me I love Telus ROM better. well not just ROM, the exterior of T989D looks even much better as hideous T-mobile logo is nowhere to be found.
Since I am on T-mobile network, I just wanted to try T-mobile stock from the core. Reinstalling drivers now, before reflashing odin.

It keeps failing at the very end of flashing process. while doing this toward the end of the flashing process-> amss.bin

Has anyone tried flashing latest T-mobile stock on T989D?

I gave up on Odin flashing my T989D with T-mobile stock.
I have tried both KID and VK but both fail at the same spot. It would fail at around at 98% mark.
I flashed Telus Stock now and then rooted it again. It's running flawless.
Too bad I can not try T-mobile wifi calling. I never use wifi calling on other capable phones anyways but I wanna have all the options available
Please let me know if any Telus owners out there who have successfully odin flashed T-mobile original stock unrooted on their S II X.

also one has Corning Gorilla Glass and the other doesnt I believe the telus one doesnt have it.
but check the chart on gsmarena.com

Hi, If you want to enable T-mobile wifi calling you can pull the kernel out from the tar.md5 by using 7-zip and/or WinRAR. You should see boot.bin and or boot.tar that will have the kernel modules KinetoGAN required for wifi calling. You should be able to fine a flash package in the T-mobile section that will enable the RIL switch. I would suggest this process:
Flash stock Telus
Flash CF root
Flash RIL package for T-mob
Flash the bin file you extracted from the T-mobile ROM package
Run the CF-unroot script.
Done!
PS: I stumbled across this whilst looking for info in the SGH-T989 for making a kernel for a non-developed Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G/LTE...I know a little about wifi calling so thought I would throw that in there for you goodluck

Are US and International Note II ROMs compatible?

The US variants wont have the multitasking bar. Can we root then flash the cooked international ROMs which provide this instead?

I've been meaning to ask this as well.

just picked up my Note 2 for T-Mobile and would like to know as well. i'm assuming yes since internally the US variants and international are the same except for the modem. i'm itchin to flash a rom on this...

i read post one thread they try flash G7100 rom over G7105 and got stuck in boot loop. You can search in general thread and find out

i specifically want to know about using a TMOB variant on AT&T

Ditto on the OP question...waiting in front of TMO US tore now and hoping to get ARHD 3.0 on this bad boy ASAP!
I sure do hope it would work...

Root is fine In my exp, but flashing international ROM gives you the wrong baseband and you loose cell services.

just don't flash the radio (modem). probably needs some RIL fixin' and what not. then i think these roms will work across most variants.

I believe it has something to do with isis. The rep told me that all SIMs are isis now.
To maintain security, I am guessing it has to be the TMO baseband.
I could be wrong.

that's easy. just flash the correct modem from the carrier. this is going to be fun.

Yeah, this should work just fine. Does anyone have the modem files?
I have a request into Samsung for a complete dump for recovery, but no word yet.

ok sorry guys they were error 7 on previous zip
im updating op with newer ones they both work tested

So, question for those more knowledgable than myself.
Would I now be able to just flash one of the N7100 ROMs, flash the Rogers radio, and the Perseus kernel and have a fully functioning Rogers i317M?
Am I missing something? I'm probably missing something right.
And I don't care if I temporarily lose LTE. I couldn't give a crap about LTE.

Did you try flashing another kernel? I believe the T-mobile variants need to use a kernel like Devil or Agni to get wifi working. there was a link in the OP for the rom you flashed for a kernel. It has probably been updated since the link was added.

I prefer agni. You only need a custom kernel if you are running a pre-knox bootloader. I do and choose Agni. You can find it in the N7105 dev forum.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Late to the party, but I agree- get Agni kernel, it's amazing!
For future reference, here is a text file with the T-Mobile apn settings I use. I have an i317 for At&t, but these settings allow my data on T-mobile's network to work flawlessly. I have a primary and a secondary listed. Anyway, you can save this text file to your extSD so you always have it for reference.

Roms

How difficult would it be to port a rom over from the other carriers for the developer edition? I understand there are build and kernel issues. I would be happy to experiment, but I have little knowledge in this area. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

AOSP will not install, it throws an error everytime. I have tried several times but I can't get the APN settings to stick to enable LTE.

Someone will figure it out eventually. I remember my galaxy s4 was in the same boat on GPE ROM for a while

So, basically I could flash something like dynamic kat and ktoonz or faux for tmobile, get it booted up, change the APN and if it sticks, I'm good to go?

You can either wait for root on the retail edition or purchase a developer edition when they are back in stock. Those of us who are flashing ROMs have purchased a developer edition that can be rooted unlike the retail edition that most have purchased that can not be rooted yet. The link I posted for a developer edition is the onlly way you can get one besides buying a used one. Verizon dose not supply these.
