Hey guys some help I bricked the SGSII t989 tmobile and it has the yellow triangle pops up telling me to go to Kies and recover it. I feel really bad now and am downgraded to a google voice and gmail, going to get a G1 tommorrow from a friend.
Any chance someone could post the original firmware zImage md5 so I could flash it back? Any help would be much appreciated. I'm going to try to get some sleep.
Thank you very much for any help and assistance.
A second question - how to get back into download mode I can't access adb and the home/volumedown/power does not work.
EDIT: I just realized that nobody has pulled the zimage yet, in that case there is no smiley appropriate for the moment.
Both hold volumedown and volumeup ，then conect it to your computert with data line。
It will show you download mode option。
otherwise
1、Full power；
2、try 301k Resistance？ok？

Why would you use the .TAR file from another Galaxy S II Variant? The other galaxy S II devices have different processors and are running different versions of android and if you go look at the Kernel version on the T-Mobile Galaxy S II its just a number EX: (2.6.35.11) as opposed to a sequence of numbers and letters. You will have to wait till there is a way to root the Galaxy S II for T-Mobile if holding the up and down volume keys and Plugging up to the computer does not work.
Dude. Why would you do something so dumb. The only thing this version shares with other GS2's is the screen.
I can see this section is gonna be a blast to be a part of. SMH

not to be mean! but this thread made my day i laughed my ass out of my chair...i know ur bummed
Yea, im sorry man. Didnt mean to be a prick. I know it sucks having a useless device and having to wait. Ive been impatient before and made mistakes. I hope this is a lesson in patience for you.

How is that trial and error? Everyone knew from day 1 those exploits wouldn't work... Seemed obvious to me at least.
As far as the op goes, take it back to Tmobile and play dumb. Don't say a thing about flashing, hopefully they'll replace it.
If not, boned till we get root and someone can compile a flashable stock ROM for you.

Hi all,
from a big smile to sad face... that is how it's been for the past 24 hours
I rooted the phone then went to back up the stock rom after that wiped data, cache, dalvik then went on trying to instal Omega 4.0 and suddenly i got this message my external sd is unreadable. rebooted the phone and noticed that it takes me directly to the downloader screen. i tried to fix the phone by bringing it back to it's stock condition but no luck. I used Odin and so far it's the only thing the phone responds to but no luck with fixing it... I am trying to download the official stock fw hint this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267895
but it stops and never finishes the whole amount of data... this seems the only way for me revive my phone back to life!
any suggestions what should I do now? it stopped showing the downloader screen now since I flashed the kernel drive for the S4 through Odin and now shows the black screen with the "Samsung Galaxy S4" writing.
by the way it keeps telling me that my phone isn't rooted but I did root it! am using twrp recovery.
I just got the phone from t-mobile 2 days ago and am debating on returning the phone back to them as the phone is still bootable to the recovery and that might revoke my warranty "i guess?"
Is it possible just to walk in to t-mobile store and swap the phone with another one since it didn't pass the 2 weeks returning window? I also got the phone insurance for it.
Please help, I sure need my phone back in working condition...
Omega 4 is for the octa core so thats why your phone bricked. If you can grt into download mode odin the stock files. If you can get into recovery try flashing a rom made for the phone. Dont freak out just read read read and youll be fine.

ayeeee ppl trying to reach me over the phone and they can't because of this stupid brick! well stupid me because I didn't know that Omega is for Octa core phone version... Yeah I can get it to download mode and recovery mode but is it possible just flash the stock file from the recovery instead of odin? I am waiting for that stock fw download to finish hint it's on hotfile and going in turtle speed!
your bricked, im pretty sure flashing stock wont help you (hasnt from my past experience) but doesnt hurt to give it a try.
i dont think will just give you another one, even though its in the two week window, because its your fault and not the result of hardware failure. the age old "oh i updated and not it wont turn on" probably wont wort because there are little to none reports of that happening. plus (and this is me assuming, correct me if im wrong) but when in download mode it probably shows custom status, which auto voids any warranty. but once again, doesnt hurt to try.
Unfortunately, from my past experience, your SOL
If the phone turns on and has download and recovery you are not bricked....only soft brick and the odin file should work. Just be patient and wait for it to finish

Yeah go ahead and root again just be careful with the rom you flash make sure its for m919. I stayed with stock because no rom has the options that came with the phone such as motions and gestures and the camera.

I just did the motochopper method and as I am reading now about the possibility of loosing your root access by future OTAs so am planning to flash that file that keeps your root safe even from future updates "SetUID Restriction" I will prolly keep my basic rom and wait for something better in future.

would you suggest me instal the CM? I am debating over here and for sure I will make a good use with the space that can free if I do... hint I have a 64gb msd installed on the phone
the motochopper root didn't go through by the way so I used odin and patched twrp plus did the SetUID restriction thing.

Well if you want to flash CyanogenMod, make sure its for the m919. I'm kinda lost though, did you still want all the features that Touchwiz has like air gesture, motions etc? Or you don't care for those?

am not really decided about that, does it really matter? all i care about is the blazing speed, low battery consumption and for sure the freedom of moving all the apps to the extSD ... I think all these new features are gimmick and it may take another generation for it to get the best of it. I picked S4 over the HTC one just because the 1080p feature and the funny thing is that I missed on there is no HDMI port on this phone! lol no biggie
tell me more about the touchwiz kernel, is it worth it? I don't see many CRs out there at the moment

Well right now I don't think CM is as stable compared to a TW ROM. FYI there are a lot or ROMS as of now. You have Wicked, Infamous, Darth Stalker, Deathstar. There is also faux and ktoonez kernal available for TW. As for the extsd, you will need to format the card to fat32 for the phone to read it properly.
I have a galaxy SIII bought from walmart using straight talk. I tried to root it and now all I get is a the words on the screen Samsung then galaxy 3 then nothing but a blue light blinking light in the upper left hand corner I am new to all this so pleas use little words LOL. How can I fix this its my business phone so time is of the essence
Need more info. How did you root, what files did you use. Can you get into download mode(phone powered off, press volume down+home+power)? If you can get into download mode then use odin and the correct tar file to reflash it to stock. I'll try to dig up some links.

Sch-s960L help!!
It seems that there are a number of Straight Talk users who didn't bother to read before flashing. Many have asked but so far it doesn't look like anyone has volunteered the stock firmware.
However, I saw a few forum posts stating that SlimBean worked for them. Might as well try it, nothing to lose at this point.
what is this and how do I use it
I am not sure who but somebody from this forums sent me this file com.android.vending-423.apk. Who ever it was thank I am sure you were trying to help. However I don't know what to do with it. I cant nothing shows on my screen to download a converter off playstore so it hasn't helped but thanks anyway. if somebody could convert it for me I would be grateful. if in fact it is meant for my phone.
That's an apk for the playstore, click it and it installs. It will do absolutely nothing to fix your brick.
I successfully rooted and installed twrp on my 10.1> I think I just made a big mistake tho and bricked my device. So i tried to used odin to install the factory firmware but when I load it odin freezes, only does this with the factory .md5 not recover.tar . I tried to format everything but nothing works I still have the twrp interface on my tab but when i turn it on its stuck at the galaxy tab 3 screen

The exact same thing happened to me, the stock firmware file is almost 2 gig, odin isnt freezing, its verifying the file so load it then wait
Zidkijah posted on another thread a copy that I was able to use to un-brick mine. Note that the only problem is that it's a little bit different from the stock version. But so far so good, just need some tweaking.
I uploaded it to a dropbox account so if one doesn't work, you can try the other.

I'm sure it's because it was only released in June of 2013 and no official updates available.

I did not understand what you wrote, but I hope functions, if that's okay with prizes that I do not miss one
Ok so background... I used to alway be android... rooted the works.. used to be really into it... then I got pissed one day at my android after it restarted taking what would have been like a nobel peace prize winning picture from inside a blackhawk... Literally... I almost threw this thing out of the doors from 3000 feet.... so next day i went to iphone. Fast forward 3 or so years...
I got pissed at iphone for sucking and releasing crapy phones without working bugs out. so I decided this time i was going back to android for good....
Two months ago i bought the Samsung Note 4 from sprint through their cut your rate in half plan... ($39/mo for unlimited everything... how could i go wrong?!)...
Took her home and started googling how I was gonna root her and get native hotspot for free.. cuz who pays for that ****... Learned what i needed to know (really refreshed my memory as i have done this in the past...) Flashed myself a new ROM and all was good in the world. Rooted and had my native hotspot.
Well, went to go use private mode and it didn't work. Back to the drawing boards... read a few things read the fine print and the ROM I was using didn't support it. No big deal, just gonna look for one that does... Found one that supports and read the page... well, I decided to do this after working all day and i was sick of being on the computer i just wanted to get it done, clicked the link downloaded the ROM I needed and loaded it.... as soon as it said done I realized... I messed up... I thought i had clicked sm-n910P... I clicked n915p..... quick search shows thats a note edge... so i download the correct one and flash that hoping I didn't **** anything up... WRONG.
Heres the problem.
My touch screen works FLAWLESSLY using the s-pen. perfect response, accuracy.. the works. When i use my finger, it responds.. sort of. The top left of my phone is spot on. as you move down and right, the cursor actually moves FASTER than my finger. So by the time I am 3/4 of the way down and to the right of the screen the cursor is actually already in the bottom right hand corner. Making texting or anything IMPOSSIBLE... now, I'm not a CIS major by ANY means and I avoid technical terms sometimes because I don't FULLY understand what some of it is. That being said, I am a tech savvy person in general, just not so much in the software dept. I'm more of a hardware person...
Question:
Did I mess up the phones HARDWARE.. Like would the digitizer be toasted? i figure that is a one way device so i don't see how that could be the case.. just throwing it out there... or did I fry something else? Anyone have FULLY stock EVERYTHING that i can flash onto this thing... (ROM, Kernel...) I found a stock ROM online to load but it isnt the same one and it didn't fix my problem. No i don't have a back up and yes i know shame on me...
Deets:
SM-N910P
Software Version: n910PVPU1BOB7 - last ROM i loaded hoping to fix the problem....
Hardware Version: N910P.05
Andriod: 5.0.1

My recovery manager is back to stock. Tried CWM and i'm not sure if that is what screwed me... i did that and my ROM all at the same time i guess... help?
MOD EDIT POST AND TITLE
Use twrp 2.85 for recovery. It's better for me. Read up on how to Odin the stock tar. Should fix it up. Be sure to do a full wipe of everything not on your xternal SD before odining.

I followed the little instructions from the .tar
if by "wipe everything" you mean clearing the cache and doing a factory reset yes.
My advise would be to back up everything with titanium backup to your external card, and start from scratch. If you are on 4.4 right now, download a program called SPCUtility to get your msl number. Load a stock tar, either nk2 if you want 4.4 or bob7 if you want lollipop (my recommendation). Once you load the stock tar with odin, reset the who device by going into your dialer and dial ##786#. It will ask for your msl number and ask if you want to reset. Say yes, and you should be good to go. At this point, when you phone restarts, get to the home screen and see if everything is working. If it is not, take the phone to sprint and let them fix it or replace it. If everything is working, you can root the device, and if you want to load a new rom, you can.

There is literally nothing on the phone right now. i don't care if anything is backed up... the phone was bascially stock to begin with and i have my contacts and everything saved through kies. im on 5.0 i guess technically... can i still get my MSL?
I would have to Root my phone again, load the SPCUtility, get my MSL flash the stock .tar (any idea where i can get a better one? the one i have isn't the stock i knew)... then follow the rest of this?
BTW thank you SO much for helping me out. I appreciate it. A LOT.

The only way to get the msl number is to call sprint but if you just got the phone they probably won't give it to you. So the other option is to flash this stock tar to go back to 4.4. Here is the tar file for nk2 and bob7.

Go back to nk2, root and intall SPCutility and get your msl. Then flash bob7, and then use the msl number and ##768# and reset the device.
