Now we have US Tmobile T889. Where and how we can root this phone ?
In it's own forum once someone discovers the root and creates the forums.
Patients, it JSUT came out.
Also, I got the white and iPhone owners are jealous. They keep doing side-by-side comparison.

HAHA. I was going to ask the same question.
I didn't realize how big this phone was until I held it in my hands (coming for G-Nex), but the thing that caught me off guard was the sheer speed. This phone is freaking FAST. Had it for couple of hours and I love it!!!!
Now waiting for Root.

did he try using CWM to install it? that's the best way to go about it. since CWM should universally work.

why? both phones have the EXACT same chipset. i'm pretty sure you can flash n7100 stock firmware on t-mobiles and it would work. the reason why previous phones were not inter-flashable was because of the differetn chipset used. both n7100 and t889 use the SAME exynos chip. this should be fun. I'm ging to buy an AT&T and flash the N7100 to get rid of the bloat.
thanks it worked like a charm

I believe you need root to install/use recovery.
Trying to root with the wrong procedure can (and did ) brick a phone. After root, flashing ROMs cannot brick a phone IF you ONLY flash from Recovery. If it doesn't work or even boot up - flash something else or restore backup.

Yes, it would be nice if a tmobile user would confirm the method they used. Want to root so I can get some titanium backups restored.
I can verify that root works with the toolkit on TMOUS SGH-T889. Selecting option 2, then option 4 [works on any build]. 5 minutes later, root and CWM.

they are probably different radios. just because they are the same chipset doesn't mean things will work properly. if they have different radios. which they should. flashing the international will mess up your radio. (baseband, modem, etc)
I have not personally tried to flash this file but i did some digging to find out and it seems as if this is the unofficial cyanogen mod release for the ls980. i personally am not a big cyanogen mod fan so I wont be flashing this but if someone is a fan and wants to give it a shot you can let the others know how it worked for you.
as with any rom please make sure you create a NAND before you attempt to flash anything
As before I am not the creator of this rom or of any programs I post I am simply finding the information for you guys. I have not tested this ROM so i can not confirm that it is working. Flashing this ROM could brick your phone yadda yadda.

Guys the gapps should be the same for all variants of CM 10.2 including the Verizon, Tmobile and ATT version. There is nothing specific about those gapps that are carrier specific.
I am sure if you go to the Verizon, ATT or Tmobile development pages you can find out which gapps they are using for CM 10.2 and use the same one.

have you tried factoring defaulting the device
if they still doesn't work my guess would be that there might be a hardware issue
has the phone been dropped, gotten wet or even in a high humidity location

It has been factory reset, numerous different roms and still the same issue. Hasn't been dropped or in high humidity, I didn't send it off to a third party repair place but I think they may have just had it sitting in there office when I paid for a 'diagnostic' fee. I thought a broken antenna as well.
Could it be a SIM problem?

Definitely not a sim card problem, I have tried multiple sim cards In it and the problem remains. Is there any possibility that it's a problem with the modem. As I did unlock it using the downgrading and hidden menu method.

This really is driving me insane, surely by installing cyanogenmod it changes the kernel anyway. Ive just installed cyanogenmod and the problem still remains. This all occured after unlocking my phone via the hidden menu in android 4.1.1. I wish I just paid the lousy £20.

It can be used for alot of things. To make an update.zip which is twrp compatible or to restore a partition if you hard brick your phone. Many other uses for devs too.

Nah. I used Flashify and tried to flash the recovery (blastgator's BUMPed 2.8.6.1) from there. It didn't brick the phone, but did bring up the DemiGod crash handler every time I attempted to go into recovery. The phone still booted fine, and flashing the recovery partition you posted got the stock recovery back with no problems. I guess LG patched BUMP in the Lollipop bootloader. No big surprise there. I guess I need the KitKat bootloader. I'll probably just end up waiting for AutoRec.

So far flashing the system.img(andre team)+boot.img(from stocklollipop)work fine,with the modded kitkat bootloader, but we do need the stock radio, my phone is constantly loosing signal(this could also be that not using there kernel , network is not working properly). im on gsm btw, so this issue might only be for me.
Edit: i can confirm flashing the stock lollipop radio fixes the constant loosing of signal, on the andre team rom.
So yea with i confirm my theory that our stock lp rom would work with the modded bootloader(or the stock one not sure on this one) , we just need our stock lp radio.
Asoon as tabp0le finishes uploading the stock lp system.img i will try it,too confirm it works on the modded kitkat bootloader.

Look in the S8 plus forum for ROMs for the Partcyborg ROM. You should be able to flash that because it is a bootloader version 2 ROM.
