Hey all, my sister just got a brand new GSII from T-mobile and wants me to put cyanogenmod on there. I saw that the 4.3 was still a bit buggy so I'm going with 10.1 / android 4.2
All of the stickys for rooting are a bit old so I'm not totally confident choosing one without posting first. She's on 4.1.2, what would you guys say is the best route for rooting? the toolkit? the odin way? or the last method. Speaking of which, is this phone T989 or the D?
Looking forward to answers, thanks guys!
PS - Do these rooting methods also unlock the phone?
Tmob is the t989, the kodo version is the t989D. I used Odin when I rooted mine a few months ago. I'm also on tomb.

The best and only way to go is to Odin the latest twrp tar file onto the device the flash superuser zip of ur choice, once u Odin the recovery to the device though u can just flash the cm zip and gain root that way if u want a custom rom, rooting this phone is very easy its all in the recovery

I used Odin and flashed a 4.2 rom, If your looking for a stable rom then just stick to 4.2/4.1.2 roms as 4.3 roms aren't stable enough as a DD and probably won't be for a few weeks/months.
Like others said Odin is the easiest way.. Before this phone I rooted my HTC vivid that dam phone was retarded unlocking it had to connect the ground wire to the positive battery on mother board than sync with the file it was stupid hard compared to this phone

I also adb pushed the libskia.so file based on some searching and still nothing...
then just tried restoring the backup and that wouldnt work either! going to restore back to stock until hopefully I get some answers

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but i have the T989D. I was wondering if i can flash the same twrp versions as the t989. And what version of superuser should i get? Also, is twrp2.4 fine for flashing the latest roms (this is the one i have downloaded right now)?
Thanks in advance!

If ur using any newer rom besides 4.3 try using twrp older cwm has a problem flashing the newer roms, it doesnt like to load the preload partition so u will end up with boitloops, if u want 4.3 u need the 4.3 recovery, u can find it in the op, just flash in recovery and then reboot to recovery and flash 4.3

U can go one of two ways, for twrp u can DL the flashable zip and flash it in cwm, or u can use Odin and DL the tar file for the latest twrp and flash it over cwm with Odin, and the 4.3 recovery zip is flashable right through recovery

FINALLY!!!!!!!! so much old info on here, should really be redone. It was due to the old recovery, thank you! I woulda never figured that out.
HOW TO ROOT AND FLASH CYANOGENMOD 10.1 TO YOUR TMOB GS2 IN 2013!
Download latest 10.1 ROM and put on your SD card or internal storage
CM10.1 nightly
Download latest Google Apps/Gapps under the 10.1 column and put on your SD card or internal storage
Gapps
Download Odin3-v3.307
Odin3-v3.307.zip
If you're already on Android version 4.1.2 then you're fine, continue below, if not;
Download 4.1.2 stock rom
Tmobile GS2 Stock 4.1.2 ROM
1) “Extract” or “unzip” the downloaded stock ROM to get the .tar.md5 file
2) Run Odin3_v3.07.exe on PC desktop
3) In Odin - only check ‘Auto Reboot’ and ‘F-Reset’
4) Click on the PDA button then browse to the folder where you extracted the stock ROM “tar file”
‘T989UVMC6_T989TMB_T989UVMC6_HOME.tar.md5′
5) Connect USB cord to phone and PC and boot into download mode. In Odin, the ID:COM box will change its color and its an indication that the device is connected properly to PC. If you still do not get any results, try another USB port on your computer.
6) Click the Start button to begin flashing.
7) Wait until it finishes or watch out for the word “PASS”.
Once the phone completely reboots, perform wipe/factory reset to get a fresher firmware installation.
1. Hold Power and Volume Up together, this will switch the device into recovery mode.
2. Release Power after holding it for a second but continue to hold the Volume Up button until recovery menu appears.
Select wipe cache
Select wipe data/factory reset.
Select reboot
That’s all! your Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 now fully installed or restored to the original Android 4.1.2 Jelly bean
Ok, now that you're on 4.1.2, let's continue. The above step is also how to restore the phone back to stock.
Follow this STEP BY STEP noob friendly way to root, using the ODIN v3 provided above
Root Tmob GS2
Flash custom recovery
Download the TWRP recovery mode
TWRP 2.2 for Tmob GS2 aka Hercules recovery.tar.md5
plug phone back into PC and put in download mode
select the pda and select the recovery.tar file, hit start and let it finish
boot into recovery
wipe system, dalvik, cache, etc.
select install
find your cm10.1zip and install
then find your gapps.zip and install
reboot, could take about 2-5 mins.
DONE!

Okay so if you can get into recovery, then you should just flash any ROM from the development section of these forums.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
You flashed a different phones rom. Which means the scripts and the radios and everything is off. Don't flash anything that doesn't have a T989 flashable thing oon it. You got lucly. Most people have a full brick. Be careful next time. And go to the Developers section. Download a stock 2.3.6 or Juggernaut v.4.1 and flash in this order
1. Place file on root of sdcard
2. Reboot recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik cahce (found under advanced)
3. Flash the rom you desire
4. Reboot.
5. Let it sit for a good 10 minutes

Answered you in the other thread you posted as well ...
IF you can get to download mode, find the Stock ODIN flash for t989, and follow the directions, ODIN does not care how full your SD card is ...
Then just odin. Find a stock one that has an Odin Rom next to he title and flasheed that.
1. Go into download mode, turn off unplugged. Then hold volume up and down and then plug in usb chord.
2. Open up odin 1.85
3. Click the pda part and browse foot your rom.
4.click start and be patient don't touch anything

Yes and NO ...
the term flash or flashing means writing new files to the phone ...
ODIN is pretty much a Samsung factory tool, it will overwrite anything that is on the phone with what you are trying to flash ..
Flashing from CWM recovery is a "Softer" way of doing it, it may or may not wipe, it may or may not replace corrupt files, depending on where and what they are ...
IF you are having major trouble with your phone, and can still get into download mode ODIN is the cleaner way to flash it back to stock, but, read read read read till you understand what you are doing, then read it again ....

Check your build prop for device name. Maybe its not correct because of the Rom you're on. Whats the error you're getting?
Did you ever get TWRP on your phone?
I've had goofy issues with TWRP but much prefer it to CWM. Originally rooted using CWM and SuperSu and switched to TWRP when I flashed CleanRom several times via Romtoolbox pro I've flashed updated Twrp it said it was successful but when it rebooted was soft bricked! Had to use Odin and original CWM to get back in and re-install everything (nandroids were twrp backups) found file downloaded to sdcard that worked fine! Odd...

If by "installed" you are referring to the recovery program itself (and not your backups), you can only have one recovery 'installed' at one time as there is only 1 "Recovery" partition on the device (/dev/block/mmcblk0p9). So if you want to install CWM instead of your current TWRP (or visa-versa), either flash the appropriate new recovery zip via your current recovery... or Odin3 flash your desired new recovery tar. Either way, it will write to the same recovery partition. If you are referring to your backups... these are stored in the designated path you selected (either internal sd or external sd)... in the TWRP/BACKUPS folder. In that folder, you will have a device id #... in that folder are your backups.
Gotcha! Thanks the way it acted I wondered if there were "leftovers" in recovery partition or corrupt data. When I reflashed CWM or TWRP via ODIN it didn't say "Passed" instead "RESET" and I had to unplug phone and manually boot recovery which sometimes took a couple tries... Only boxes checked in Odin are reset time and reboot.

Which version of Odin3 are you using? When I used Odin3 v1.85 I would get the "PASSED" but with Odin3 v3.07, I also only got "RESET" (on an WindowsXP box)... but both flashed it correctly (and auto rebooted after flash)

absolutely do NOT ever flash an international i9300 ROM to your phone. you will end up with a very expensive paperweight.
only flash ROMs specifically for the i747 (d2att).

That's correct. The easiest way to install is download GooManager from they play store.
Open the app and grant permissions when you are asked. Touch the menu key, and select Install OpenRecoveryScript
Wait for it to say successful and youre done. Shut down the phone, hold volume up + home + power and you will enter TWRP.
From here you can flash ROMs (and make backups )

Go the play store, download the app goo manager. Open the app, hit your menu button and select to install an open recovery script. And boom, you have installed TWRP.
I'd recommend lots of reading and researching before flashing.

Nope you should be all set. 4.2.2 (02/23) build is the most stable and safest.
Download the 2/23 version. Download the 12/19/12 gapps.
Put the files in the root of your phone.
Boot to recovery. Select Backup and swipe to make a backup of your current ROM in case you ever want to go back to the stock ROM.
Then go back to the main menu of twrp and select wipe. Once in that menu, wipe the following: cache, dalvik, factory reset and system.
Go back to the main menu again and select install.
Locate the zip file you downloaded (the ROM) and then select it. A new screen will pop, select add more zips. Select the gapps and then swipe to install.
reboot and youre done. =)

So I did had to take out the battery and redo all steps this time making sure i wiped all cache, dalvik, factory reset and system. I proceeded to install find the rom and then when done I installed gapps.

Hi Guys need help bad. I hope I didnt screw my phone up.
I rooted my phone using the latest toolkit and installed twrp. Once i did that I backed up everything including efs on the external card.
Once i did that I flashed Jedi x rom but did not have much signal so decided to flash another rom which was liquid smooth. Once I flashed it again
my signal was almost non existent. I downloaded a canadian modem in the zip file and flashed it using twrp the same way i would flash a rom.
After i did that i wiped all the data and cache and the system. As I was rushing it siince its late at night i got a message saying that I am not rooted. I ignored it and rebooted the system and now its stuck on samsung logo. What can i do? Please help!!!!!
It appears that when I hold vol up plus home plus power I can get into download mode. I hope that helps.
Can someone give me some help how to get it back to life. I am pretty sure I have to use Odin at this point but dont know how
Ok i did some reading and I think the next step is to download stock image for the wind mobile turn on Odin and upload the image to the phone..
What settings should I use in Odin? What should be checked at the top and am I to use PDA only?
You can use odin or just reflash the ROM. You said tout wiped system after flashing the modern. That means you erased what ever ROM was on there. It's sticking at Samsung because there is no ROM to boot into.

Have you puked the battery. Put it back in then held volume+, home and power? Your recovery should still be there.
Also, odin is easy. Just open it and click the pda box and put your stock ROM there. Two things make sure you put your image in PDA and PDA ONLY and make sure it's your official stock Image

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!

Yup went back to ODIN and flashed stock image and everything is now working great. I assume that I need to root the phone again before attempting to flash any roms again. I guess it was late at night and like you said I wiped the rom and there was nothing to boot into. I am an idiot!
Thanks for your quick help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok so here's my next question.
In order to root again do i use the toolkit again or simply just download the pre-rooted rom and flash it with Odin? Which one would be better just
to get root again? Thanks!

When I did this approach, I did it in two steps. I downloaded factory image of the firmware and flashed the device by using Odin 3.0.7.
Next, I used a tool package called "Galaxy Note2 ToolKit." Follow the instructions for how to root.
When I did the procedure, the software also had an option to include clockworkmod recovery
and busybox.

My usb port is broken so I can't use a computer. I was able to root my phone without using a computer with some app I can't remember. I want to flash a kitkat Rom without a computer, if possible, could someone wall l walk me through it?

You need to down load a few things.
1. EL-26 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662295
2. Philz touch recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2652286
3. The ROM and Gapps you desire.
Flash the El-26 via Mobil Odin which you should have on your phone.
From the EL-26 recovery, flash Philz touch and reboot into recovery mode.
Wipe data/factory reset to install new ROM
Wipe cache/dalvik (Dalvik is located under advance)
Install new ROM
Instal Gapps
Reboot Phone. Wait for a while, it should reboot. IMO EL-29 is better, but I can't find that one on the threads. The Philz recovery will give you an updated recovery to flash KK ROMs. DO NOT TRY TO FLASH A KK ROM USING ANY CWM RECOVERY OLDER THAN 6.0.5.0.
Do I need a different modem?

You need to be on and ICS modem. (FL24, FL27 if your on Sprint) I am on FL24. AOSP ROMs will not work on GB**.
What if my E4GT is not rooted?
Can it be done without root?

root using framaroot apk. Then folllw bigmikes instructions,adding a formatting of the system under mounts, do this after you wipe data,cache and dalvik. Without formatting system you are not getting a truly clean install,as the previous rom is still on the system as if it was just installed.
if you need more guidance,post back and i will li.k u to a lkttle mobile odin guide i wrote for another member.
as for modems..bigmike is correct. you need an ics modem. fl24 is the newest and the one i had the best luck with. FYI..sprint modems work on boost. Im a boost user and always use the sprint modems. But it doesnt go the other way i believe. Sprint cant use boost modems.
good luck
Just another heads up, but a factory reset may have to be done AFTER ROM and gapps are flashed.
I flashed CM11 (coming from GB28) using Blasphemy v6.6 kernel/recovery and got stuck on the GS2 splash screen... Never even got to the boot animation. Got into recovery and did another factory reset, which allowed me to finally boot up.
