[Q] Latest Koodo SII X (T989D) Baseband? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

To all who may have taken advantage of the $300 -$100 Visa or Gift Card for this phone: What Version and Baseband is your phone running?
My phone is running Android 4.0.4 & T989DTLLG2. I find no reference to this baseband on Koodo, Telus, Samsung or searching Google for that matter.
Who can confirm that this is the new valid version and baseband for Koodo?
FYI, I just spent an hour on the phone with "Tech Support" who only wanted to argue with me that this "information wasn't relevant or is available to her". Her customer service was atrocious which in fairness to Koodo was the first time I've encountered such bad service.

Koodo = Telus basically, TLLE4 is the ICS radio for telus so I would assume that TLLG2 would be koodo just different naming schemes, or it seems like as it's the same phone. Plus the telus radio is more than likely compatible with the koodo phone.

Correct Koodo is a Telus subsidiary but Telus' version is 4.0.3 and Koodo's is 4.0.4. This leads me to believe the radio could be an upgrade rather than just a rename.
Any one confirm or refute that Telus radio T989DTLLE4 = Koodo T989DTLLG2?

Nice, any chance to dump the ROM and radio for the rest of us who got 4.0.3 and LE4 from Telus?

Be happy to once I figure out how. Any pointers?
FYI, I'm coming from a Galaxy Ace and have flashed many roms via CWM. Not so familiar with ODIN which I believe would figure into the equation of your request.

To extract the radio, follow the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1506212
To get the system image, just do a nandroid backup in CWM and extract the system TAR file (not the other CACHE/DATA files which may contain your personal information).
Thanks a lot!

Did you dump the stock baseband/radio from your phone?
I loaded a different one to unlock my phone (which worked) but I want to use odin to flash back the latest one.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
My phone is as follows:
Koodo Samsung Galaxy S II X
Model number SGH-T989D
Thanks in advance,
M.

Here is a link where you can download the stock TLLG2 Koodo Radio. And for the stock TLLE4 Telus radio you can download it from here.
You should be able to download a .zip file which you can flash through CWM/TWRP. A little searching through the threads goes a long way. Cheers!

SGH-T989 vs SGH-T989D

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?

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.

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.
I want T-mobile stock and it wont let me GRRRR

They are identical hardware-wise. Why would you want to flash the stock T-Mobile ROM? Telus is less bloated.

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

AT&T (USA) Baseband version?

So, I rooted my phone when I got a few weeks ago and didn't note my carriers original baseband version. I am going to flash the stock ROM back on because I wasn't a big fan of the current ROM I have been using. Searching the forums, I see stock ROMS from AT&T (samsung-updates.com) being either I747UCALG1 or I747UCALEM (both being Android 4.0.4). How do I know which one to flash? Does it even really matter so long as I flash one of those versions to the correct SGH-1747 model?
A quick note: The current baseband version being displayed on my phone is I747UCLEM and I can't even find anything out about that specific version.
Edit: Okay so after looking into the issue a bit further, I found that the baseband version just means the AT&T's version of their stock ROM. Anyone care to agree with me on that one so I can go ahead and just flash the most current (I747UCALG1) ROM?

[Q] Getting JellyBean when OTA updates fail.

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 with T-Mobile. I broke it when flashing something. I was not worried because I thought as long as I had access to the download mode I could recover. Problem is it seems the firmware I used to recover, is not the one that came with the phone because it doesn't work perfectly (ie. The stock SMS app fails, the keyboard swiping fails and I cannot connect to Kies).
I want Jellybean but I can't connect to Kies to look for updates so I've tried two OTA updates with clockwork recovery and both failed with some sort of assertion check.
Here's the phone information:
Model number: GT-I9300
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 19300BVLH1
Build number: IMM76D.I9300XXBLG8
When I try to install GT-I9300_I9300XXDLI7-OTA-I9300XXBLH3_NEE_277179738:
Code:
assert failed: file_getprop("system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/m0xx/m0:4.0.4/IMM76D/I9300XXBLH3:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "samsung/m0xx/m0:4.1.1/JR003C/I9300XXDLI7:user/release-keys"
So can I install Jellybean? Can I at least get the correct firmware so that the keyboard swiping will work (Samsung stock keyboard) and I can connect to Kies? I have no idea what firmware that is because I thought I chose the correct one since it was labeled as the T-mobile firmware, but it wont work fully.
Thanks for any answers.
PS: I've tried other swiping keyboards but I actually like the stock Samsung one and regardless I still want to be able to connect to Kies and ideally I want Jellybean.
TMO updates will fail, because you have an International Version (I9300), not the TMO version (T999). You will need the appropriate forum and Stock Rom Archive threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1563
I suspect you'll need Odin to return to stock, and begin your JB upgrade processes from there. Good luck!
Your phone models number is international G3 and T-Mobile T999
Kies will failed. Firmware is different... I thought international have jellybean already.

OK thanks very much. I'll look around. This is odd because my plan is with T-mobile, so that's why I'm confused. So T-mobile uses I9300 and T999? Why? What's the difference? Is the T999 the 4G one? I've double checked on the back of my phone and it's definitely I9300.
Sorry for the confusion.

No worries, it *is* confusing...indeed, here is a chart which helps distinguish all the different models of this unit:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756332
You have Quad-core, and I believe 21mbps '4G', whereas TMO T999 version has Dual-core, but 42mbps '4G'....but you can always run speedtests and report back the speed you're getting. I was happy with HSPA+ on my Sensation, but even happier with DC-HSPA+.
And please don't ever flash anything else you find here!
I'm a little surprised you didn't hard brick! They are very different, not just hardware but SW as well. Completely different partition layouts.
when people flash an international rom to the T999, they get a paperweight in rerurn! Just fyi!

no luck. pretty sure sammobile copied the existing MCT and just put GLW and VTR instead of MCT. the files are exactly the same size.
I have the Mobilicity version but have unlocked it to use with WIND the models are the same, when this becomes stable would it be possible to flash this version, I have found that things like the sim toolkit with WIND does not work and need that functionality.

[Q] How do I extract a radio from the official rom?

ive looked for how to do this and couldnt find a proper tutorial. i know how to open te images to actually view the files inside but where do i look for the actual modem file and what is it called for this device? i have a t989D from koodo and i would like the newest radio from koodo even if the telus one works.

OK, the reason is that my phone keeps thinking tel us is the provider and I would like it to show the Koodo branding, and also look to Koodo for provisioning.

I think 4.1.2 merged Telus and koodo as far as software goes since koodo uses Telus. Just easier for Samsung and/or the carriers I guess. Not sure you can change anything about that. A dev probably could, but can't see it happening. Unless the dev was on koodo maybe.
