Flash official 4.1.2 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

My brothers phone has a broken USB port works for charging but not USB to computer anytime I connect it says malfunctioning blah blah tried it with multiple computers and wires so not that. Is it possible to get like an official 4.1.2 update zip that I can at least flash in recovery menu as Odin doesn't work cause no USB. The phone is stock and not rooted

You could try Chochi's official 4.1.2. It's a zip file you can flash on TWRP. Couldn't you install TWRP via GooManager?

Well yeah, you could just install TWRP via GooManager's app on Google Play, then download the .zip file and the superwipe on the OP link. Install the way the OP said so and it should be it.

Pretty sure that'd require root access?

Didn't see you weren't rooted. Well, I'm out of ideas. :/

Replace the port? Cheap I'm sure.

Okay, so I am coming from an HTC phone where you would flash this (*.img) in Hboot. As this is my first Samsung phone, how do I flash this recovery?
Thanks, in advance.
Same issue here. How do we go about flashing this onto the phone? - Im assuming this is done through ODIN (Using the "Flash" Boot Option) - or am I wrong? Also, the new Recovery is not showing up in CWM APP.

(PROBLEM SOLVED- Thanks efrant ! )Problem updating my nexus to JB 4.1

Guys help me
Basically
I got jelly bean OTA 4.1
It downloaded
Now it asked me to reboot.
I did
It went to recovery
And it started to install..
Then I kept my device
And when I came back
I saw it was ICS .
Nothing changed. WTF? How's that possible?
When I went again settings > system updates there is no OTA.
And I am fully stock with right recovery, bootlooder etc..
OK problem solved . I installed it via CWM. No problems at all :laugh:
Thanks!

yes!
You probably have something that is not stock. It is too hard to tell if you are using the stock recovery. Easiest way to install it is to look at my update thread and manually install it using CWM.

Yup, it's not there.
Problem with recovery being able to mount the partitions.
It won't mount anything, data, system, cache, internal or external sdcards
I've read post from a handful of people who, like myself, have gotten their phone very recently. All experiencing the same problem.
I've gotten root by flashing a stock rom thru ODIN with it already installed but I'm dying for my Vanilla Android, touchwiz is making me sick :crying:

There are some pre-rooted stock roms you can flash in Odin but that doesn't fix recovery. So if you can live with Touchwiz I'd check those out.

I believe you meant www.rwilco12.com.
I am also having a problem with all CWM versions I've tried on my two 3-day old Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 phones. It doesn't matter which recovery (or version) I flash, nothing mounts so you cannot see the internal or external SD, cannot flash anything, cannot wipe anything, etc. This seems to be a problem with very new S3's with all custom recoveries.

Well, if you're feeling up to it, you could test it for the rest of us. No one seems to have reported back about anything yet. I'm sure that it will break root though.

i didnt go back and reread it but i think thats what garwynn tried and he lost root.
This is kinda required to get the OTA, isn't it?
If I understand correctly, the OTA will fail if rooted? Or is that it will fail if CWM/TW recovery is in place?

It will fail if you have cwm or twrp in place.....you need the stock recovery for it.....I think it will work even if you have root, but your root will be lost once you update

Thanks.. I thought it was one of those, just couldn't remember which. I may just hold off until I see what others are doing. I am going to look for a nice TouchWiz ROM that allows me to theme it.
Once the awesome Devs here at XDA get their hands on the code, it won't be long before we have a rootable Stock 4.3..
I've been wondering.
Do I need a stock recovery and a stock ROM to update or can I be running a custom ROM such as digiblur and update using stock recovery?

I'd just throw that under the "do not attempt" category. Odds are that while trying to apply the update, stock recovery would detect some assets that don't belong in your current build and abort the update. Also, if this update was successful and something messed up, you would now have no custom recovery. You would have to Odin back to whatever software version possible.
