[Q] Galaxy Note 2 - SGH-T889V

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

Not too good with this rom stuff but since you have the same phone, is there any way you can extract the rom to an image i can flash using Odin?

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

Sorry to hear that again. Were you able to access Bell's LTE and HSPA? Thanks, cause I'm on bell too!

T889 supposedly has LTE chip in there for future proofing, according to FCC filings.

Dont be too lazy to look into 2-3 threads. You cant find all in one thread.
Ok here is answer u need.
International version is OCTA core and our US verion is quad core. ( in simple words 8 and 4 )
1) tmobile version is bootloader unlocked . Att is not. There is no limitation after u unlock once. You can do whatever u want.
2) yes
3) never tried that but u can buy flip cover that comes with back cover.
4) you will be screwed. Dont do that. Thats why we have separate forums.

Yup you can do that if you know how to change files between att and tmobile roms. Before flashing though.
Some devs port each others roms too.
But I dony recommend that.

The articles I have read every where said that Sprint got rid off all CarrieIQ on their phones.

Thats what ive read but of coarse i.keep heRing a bunch oc people claiming they found it and i cant find it where they say.to look

Try going to System>Apps>All>Android System. That's where it was on AT&T before they hid the option with the 4.2.2 update.

I SEARCHED and found this app right here:

It'll check if you have carrier IQ or not, if it says you don't have it installed then you're safe.

You would be looking for an option under the Android System app info that showed the status of Carrier IQ. It would (if it is in this spot) give you the options to force stop it or completely disable it.

LG D802 Signal Data Icon

Hello. I have an LG D802 UK model and I have installed the cloudyg3 ROM. My data icon shows LTE instead of 4G when I have 4G coverage. Is there a way to change this to 4G? I have posted on the official cloudyg3 thread however I am getting no replies which is why I am posting here please reply before deletion as I am very eager to get this changed as LTE doesn't look very appealing.
Note: I live in the UK not US.
Many thanks.

I used g3 tweaksbox you can change data icons from there. Att,verizon,tmobile etc whatever ones you want to use.

Well, I don't know for sure that it's using carrier aggregation, but the speeds wouldn't normally be that good with just one band.

In the past, I've needed root to use that app successfully. I'm still waiting for my bootloader to be unlocked, so I can't root yet. Sorry.

Yes, I think so. I am noob regarding this. But, I tired all the steps in that guide and now I have 4g+ or 4g volte in status bar. What else can I do to ensure whyred has ca support?

I tried it, just following tye steps in tutorial, but i faced heavy fluctuations in network (I'm using airtel) so i just reverted back....

I don't know about carrier aggression, but I'm using network signal guru app since rn3, with jio. I get higher than usual speed and better battery life on B5: 850band.
Ask me anything.
