Hello forum,
I purchased a SGH-T889V Galaxy note 2 and tried to root it. The whole time i was under the impression it was the N7100. Obviously it was not and now i've screwed the phone where you get the yellow triangle thiingy. I need the original rom as i have looked high and low and there is nothing out yet. Its the Wind version of the phone launching here on |Oct 30th.
PLEASE HELP!!
I've tried everything but nothing seems to work..i.e. Samsung Kies, Odin..etc..
thanks!

Anyone has the rom or odin flashable rom or an image for this SGH-t889v???? please help...
Hi. Google checkfus. Download it and use it to pull official firmware from Samsung servers then use Odin to flash it to your phone.

There is nothing for this phone on checkfus webversion... yet. But yes OP, do download checkfus and check it often to see if anything pops up for you to use... Maybe there already is something available that I just couldn't see in the web version.
Thanks guys for the recommendations. I'll keep an eye out. Right now I have an $800 brick on my desk.

I got it from a reseller off Kijiji and not sure which bands are supported since there was no box. I know it sounds shady but it's not!!! I was using it on Bell for a whole day before this madness happened

hmm I am not sure how to do that, if you can direct me to a tutorial I'd definitely do it.I am not sure if that can be done actually, since it's not rooted. Anyways, if I get time during the weekend I'll look it up and do it myself.
PS: I think we got it from the same seller lol

Coming from Samsung and Sony there were always many great ROMS available for the phones.
It looks like there's already a new phone in LGs scope which will come out soon.
(And there's also the locked Bootloader we have here - which might get opened sometime?)
What do you think about the LG G4?
Will developers skip the phone and directly proceed to the newer phone?
Will we ever see so much support like for the other phones (Samsung, Sony,...)?
What are your opinions?
Once the boot loader gets opened for everybody then i think we will see Roms.
Verstuurd vanaf mijn LG-H815 met Tapatalk
Based on how popular the G2 & G3 seemed to be (and really still are) I am sure once we gain the ability to flash ROMs they will start to flow our way. Even with the G4 Pro coming in December (allegedly) I do not think that will slow down the development for us, it will just give the Devs one more device to play with.
(We still have ROMs for both versions of the S6/S6 Edge and the Note 4/Note Edge)
Sooner or later yeah. But first people need root and ability to flash roms.

International version can already be unlocked, rooted and has twrp availible. I am quite confident that there will be developement done. But the device is quite new so let the devs some time.

It sounds to me like someone is trying to make himself feel better about not having a G4.
....As was already stated we already have Root Access, it is just a matter of waiting for it to be released to the GenPop via a safer method.

"We" don't have root yet. Yes there are a couple of devs that were able to root a phone, after bricking their first phone. While it is highly likely that there will be a root method released to the masses, there is no guarantee that everyone will get root access. I bought my G4 with the assumption that we'll get it, but also aware that we may never get it. My S4 is my daily driver until we get root access for the G4.
It should be much easier to find a safe way (for Joe Schmoe) to root, with the rooted G4 they currently have.

I Just got my new G4 for fathers day through sprint unfortunately, also have a LG G Flex 2 which is a POWERHOUSE. well both are monsters, but i cant wait for root and unlocked bootloader+carrier unlock, hopefully they all come soon.
also i just went from a G2 to the G Flex 2 to the G4, love them all
I have a question. I understand that root has been achieved on the G4 and that the method hasn't been released. My main question is this: when that method or other methods are released, would any of them offer a bootloader unlock along with it or would users have to rely on the LG site to do so? Right now I have the 815 version and know the bootloader is unlockable but do not have a pc to do the bootloader unlock process. Am I better off waiting for an official release here on xda that may involve a bootloader unlock?

No. It won't reverse the firmaware version. It will only wipe all user data. The problem with updating is that it may or may not render the root exploit that devs are working on as incompatible or useless. Also new update might enhance the security in the firmaware with chances to make it even harder to root. The opposite could happen as well.

Do you have the Hong Kong version? I think you'll be fine. The US Carriers are the one making things harder by providing a Kdz firmware with a modified version # 01. So, users can't be 100% stock if they try to reverse. Your's can be reverted anytime. Your phones Kdz file ends "00" ours ends with "01" but wait and see if the root method works or not when released.
