SGH-T989 vs SGH-T989D - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hi, I might have a chance at getting a deal on a SGH-T989D from a former Telus customer. But almost all the roms here are described as being for the SGH-T989. Are these phones not the same where you can run the same roms? Definitely don't want to buy a phone that has no developer support even if the deal is good.

It can run the same rom.

If you are on TMO you should be able to flash a TMO radio without any issues as well ..... as long as the phone is UNLOCKED ...

What's the"d" stand for?

both models are identical, down to the D

Yes I am confused about this as well. If these phones are identical and can both run the same roms, then why THIS post indicating that the roms in this forum are only for *TMobile* GSII's? With emphasis put on TMobile.
Thanks.

I'm using the Telus version (T989D) and as far as I can tell, the only difference is the button combo to get into download mode. I've flashed a number of roms from this sub forum and they don't work any differently.

Mainly to differentiate from the i9100 SGSII variants.
Also, the T989D has no exterior Telus branding.

also because at the time we didn't know the T989 was also compatible with the I727

I keep reading they are the same but I have not been able to get any of the ICS ROMS for the T-Mobile ROMS to work on my Telus phone.

It's really hard to get the ICS ROMs to work sometimes. They seem to be pretty finicky. I've read some users have had to do a Superwipe, flash the ROM, then wipe the data and cache again and reflash.
I can confirm that Racing's, RaverX3X's and the Cleansed ICS are all capable of running on my T989D.

Are you sure these two are identicial in terms of hardware?
then Why can't I odin flash stock T-mobile ROM?
Odin flashing Stock Telus ROM is no problem.

Yes of coarse, believe me I love Telus ROM better. well not just ROM, the exterior of T989D looks even much better as hideous T-mobile logo is nowhere to be found.
Since I am on T-mobile network, I just wanted to try T-mobile stock from the core. Reinstalling drivers now, before reflashing odin.

It keeps failing at the very end of flashing process. while doing this toward the end of the flashing process-> amss.bin
I wonder what is wrong.

Has anyone tried flashing latest T-mobile stock on T989D?

I gave up on Odin flashing my T989D with T-mobile stock.
I have tried both KID and VK but both fail at the same spot. It would fail at around at 98% mark.
I flashed Telus Stock now and then rooted it again. It's running flawless.
Too bad I can not try T-mobile wifi calling. I never use wifi calling on other capable phones anyways but I wanna have all the options available
Please let me know if any Telus owners out there who have successfully odin flashed T-mobile original stock unrooted on their S II X.

also one has Corning Gorilla Glass and the other doesnt I believe the telus one doesnt have it.
but check the chart on gsmarena.com

Hi, If you want to enable T-mobile wifi calling you can pull the kernel out from the tar.md5 by using 7-zip and/or WinRAR. You should see boot.bin and or boot.tar that will have the kernel modules KinetoGAN required for wifi calling. You should be able to fine a flash package in the T-mobile section that will enable the RIL switch. I would suggest this process:
Flash stock Telus
Flash CF root
Flash RIL package for T-mob
Flash the bin file you extracted from the T-mobile ROM package
Run the CF-unroot script.
Done!
PS: I stumbled across this whilst looking for info in the SGH-T989 for making a kernel for a non-developed Galaxy Tab 8.9 4G/LTE...I know a little about wifi calling so thought I would throw that in there for you goodluck

DONT WANT A BRICK? Check here

As of right now, the roms for your S3 are not meant to be used on other S3 variants. Bricks might happens or a soft one might happen. Before flashing a Rom make sure you are in the right development section an you read the entire op, twice. Until other devs or experienced users find a way to make them cross compatible, please refrain from using other carriers S3 roms.
Also wind mobile an Tmobile are interchangeable, just don't flash the modems.

I second this, guys PLEASE don't risk it. It is not worth it. Right now I think most devs are working on their own ROMs, but we should have a patch soon to allow cross-compatibility.
think some peeps are confused by whats before tmo development. (AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III) just my opinion but good idea on thread.
Mr Highway:
Could you start another thread for Windmobile Android Development?
In the past all Windmobile phones are just T-mobile phone rebadge.
In this case, it does not in terms of kernels....(and may be baseband)

When I flashed windows based roms on my touch pro II, that was one of the things to look out for. Is it possible to create a ROM for all carriers?

Yes and no.
With the use of aroma-installer, we could set it up to detect your phone type (well, not we....I don't know that much about it but I saw the thread discussing this) and aroma would be able to install the necessary files based on your phone.
As of now, for instance, mine works across all GSM carriers. clark44 is current working to get everything switched up so it also works for Sprint (mostly appears to be the apk files and XML files) that are specific to the phone. As of now, he has it booting and working fine except there is a large rush of FCs on initial bootup but then everything runs fine.
I wasn't even aware you could make a patch to allow cross-compatibility! XDA never fails to surprise
Just a thought, but maybe they could do it like the SlimROM on multiple devices. He has a common base ROM and another flashable for each device supported. It works out perfectly and multiple ROMs for multiple carriers.
I figure it will be easier than doing it for different devices since I read that all the US variants are essentially the same. Not sure but worth a look.

Will there ever be any SGH-T999V development?
Does anyone think that someone with a SGH-T999V Wind Mobile variant will ever be able to root their phone so they can overclock the cpu, etc?
Why not? I am using a custom rom and overclocked to 1890 at the moment.
Just use the windows way to root. I knbow it works
I have not tried the toolkit.
If you are going to flash a custom rom just make sure it does not contain the boot, modem and amss file in the rom that you are flashing.

What if you accidentally tried to flash i9300 rom and your phone is not turning on.
With the forums changed I accidentally flashed the wrong version rom on my phone. :crying:

Thanks for the link, unfortunately the phone will not go into download mode for odin, it won't even turn on.
After doing some research it looks like I have to fix it through jtag.
I think I could do it, but you need some expensive jtag box that connects to the computer(It's called the Riff Box), but it would be cheaper if I just sent my phone into here it costs $60. Not ideal, but not a complete disaster either. Unless there is some other way to JTAG I am out of options.

Are US and International Note II ROMs compatible?

The US variants wont have the multitasking bar. Can we root then flash the cooked international ROMs which provide this instead?
I've been meaning to ask this as well.
just picked up my Note 2 for T-Mobile and would like to know as well. i'm assuming yes since internally the US variants and international are the same except for the modem. i'm itchin to flash a rom on this...
i read post one thread they try flash G7100 rom over G7105 and got stuck in boot loop. You can search in general thread and find out
i specifically want to know about using a TMOB variant on AT&T

just don't flash the radio (modem). probably needs some RIL fixin' and what not. then i think these roms will work across most variants.
I believe it has something to do with isis. The rep told me that all SIMs are isis now.
To maintain security, I am guessing it has to be the TMO baseband.
I could be wrong.

Flashing other device roms

So a friend of mine told me i could flash roms from other carriers is this true? He has the gs3 from t mobile but i don't want to flash a rom from t mobile if it could possibly brick or cause problems.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
He's wrong. Unless a ROM is ported, it runs a risk of being incompatible and could potentially brick your phone. Even then, a ported ROM may come with certain bugs &/or stability issues.
This is especially true for ROMS intended for the International GS3.
ROM - OdexedBlue
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Stock LI3

.Not true. May come with bugs but flashing roms for another US variant of the S3 is safe just make sure there are no modems in it. As long as its for a US Gs3 than its safe. Open the zip and if all you see is META-INF,system and boot.img you will be fine flashing it. Bugs can be expected tho and your screen orientation in landscape mode will probably be flipped. The part about the intl version is true tho. Dont flash those.

Not a good example as the note 2 has many differences and is alot harder to port(hence the instability). Theres alot to change like screen size, a different processor etc. This will at least run and data will probably work but its not guaranteed. It will not brick you though.

That's good to know. I knew about the baseband part already, but got the rest of my information from reading the sticky thread in Android Development about how not to brick your phone. I've flashed a tmo kernel (Morfic's Trinity) and experienced excellent results - right up until I tried taking ng a picture and discovered that the auto rotate was reversed and everything was upside down in landscape.
ROM - OdexedBlue
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Stock LI3
XDA Premium - Support our developers, modders, themers, and other contributors!
So if the auto rotation is backwards is there a way to fix that? Or is it something you would just have to deal with? I like some of the t mobile roms he uses but if its buggy i probably won't even bother. How can you tell if it is an international rom or us?

If there is a modem in the zip woukd it be safe to just remove it and flash a sprint modem after the initial rom flash or transfer a sprint modem into the zip file prior to a flash? Where would the "META INF" file be located to verify the flash would work?

META-INF is a folder at the base of the zip. If there is a modem you can remove it and replace with a sprint one to make it easier. You could also remove it but that might require a edit to the updater-script and that can be a pain in the ass if ur not real familiar with the process. If you choose to remove it then flashing another is not needed since itll be untouched. but as said probably easiest to just replace. I recommend 7zip if u need to do that

Stock T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Rom on unlocked ATT S4??

Hey there guys,
I looked everywhere to find the answer to this question, but I have yet to find it. My roommate just bought an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 and he has T-mobile service. However, he doesnt get wifi calling and that feature is vital. So here is my question:
Is it possible to flash the 100% stock odin T-Mobile Galaxy S4 rom on an unlocked ATT Galaxy S4 without any issues? What should I do? I appreciate any help out there that I can get.
Andrew
From my research (due to the exact same issues), the ATT s4 has different radio hardware, so it wouldn't work, at least not with a stock T-mobile rom.

But if I flash the tmobile radio or the modified att radio with AWS enabled, I should be ok right? The thing I worry about the most is bricking the device via odin flash.
There are threads about applying an AWS patch to AT&T phones to make them work on T-Mobile's network. I have not personally tested but was under the impression the radio hardware was ok it was more of a matter of TMo using one frequency for download vs upload on AT&T (or vice versa). A TMo sales rep told me he did that on his girlfriend's phone (which is an S3) and got it to work fine.

Don't Odin flash different variant's 100% stock images. If it's a CWM/TWRP flashable ROM you won't have any problems so long as you use the AT&T kernel. Flashing other variant's radios/firmware may cause problems. With you having an AT&T device, use modem/baseband/firmware. The AT&T AWS Enabled Radio can be found here
I have been searching the web for long time try to find the exactly same answer, but I haven't found any reliable source on it. If anyone has tried this and work, please post a guide here for us, thanks ahead!

SGH-M919 is the T-Mobile variant, so it should be no problem.
The easiest way to go back to stock is to use KIES, but that will revert you back to V.
You can download stock and flash with ODIN. As long as it is stock T-Mobile and you have a T-Mobile account, WiFi calling will work fine.

SGH-M919 is the T-Mobile variant, so it should be no problem.

I have a T-mobile account so with ODIN I can flash the current version directly and it will work... That's good news
Where do I find the latest version?
Is there anything I need to do specifically since I have Nextel firmware in the phone.

OK I tried ODIN 3.09 with firmware version M919UVUFNB4 which is 4.4.2 and it failed with a bootloader permission error
I already have 4.4.2 on the phone but its the Nextel Firmware
I read something about installing modem.bin is that my problem?

No, the modem wouldn't be your problem. Since you are already updated to the official 4.4.2, you now have KNOX to worry about. If you don't care about setting the 0x1 flag, your best bet would more than likely be to flash a custom recovery and a modded/stock ROM specifically for the M919 from the Android Development section. You keep mentioning that you have a Nextel device... just to confirm, you have a T-Mobile SIM, correct? Because if not, WiFi calling won't work for you anyway.
Yup, I have a T-mobile account and the phone has a T-mobile SIM in it
I don't think that KNOX flag is an issue as it is an unlocked Non T-mobile phone.
If I have an issue with the phone at all T-mobile is not going to support it.
The model phone I have apparently is exactly the same as the T-mobile branded phone, when I registered it with Samsung they identify it as a T-mobile phone.
I guess I could just get a 1900MHZ repeater and call it a day as well.

You could, I guess... but I would be willing to bet that it would be a lot cheaper to just get WiFi calling working
Like I said, you'll probably have to forget going the Odin route and use a custom recovery and modded/stock T-Mobile TouchWiz ROM.
First of All I want to say sorry for poting this query in Another thread, really don't want to create another thread Can I install ROMs from Tmobile section to my i9505 (international Variant)? There're loads of great ROMs here wanna try some of them..but bit afraid to brick the device, even though both devices shares same hardware...just want to confirm from you people

T-mobile TouchWiz ROM.. Is that stable?
I'm not interested in constantly flashing the phone to get the bug fixes ...
I'd give a stable ROM a try so is that the one to go with?

Yeah, most every ROM posted in the development section is stable, TouchWiz or AOSP. Just make sure you read the OP to confirm that whichever ROM has WiFi calling included as there are TW ROMs which have been ported to our device from other carrier's S4s.... Only those specifically for the M919 will have WiFi calling and it will be specified in the OP. I'm not going to recommend which ROM to flash, but from someone who's tried them all... you can't make a bad decision whatever you choose.

Yes, you can. The only S4 ROMs you should stay away from are those made for the i9500 and non-standard S4's (i.e. S4 mini, S4 Active, etc). Any other variant of the standard S4 (including the i9505G) is good to go; just use a kernel for your specific device. On that note though, the i9505 and M919 kernels are interchangeable, so there's no need to follow that protocol when using our ROMs for your device and vice versa.

Thanks bro for your reply, that's great to know and gained extra 150+ ROMs thread as well really good to use great ROMS in this section
After doing some research my question:
The reason I can't use this firmware is due to the fact that my current baseband is higher than the one I was attempting to flash.
I have FNE2 and was trying to flash FNB4?
Thoughts?
Still looking to do this did anything change here? Has anyone successfully with flashing this with the stock ROM?
I'm a T- Mobile customer
Thanks
I have an unlocked Nextel version 4.42 of the SGH-M919Vzlmnx Baseband / modem / PDA version M919VWXUFNE2
