Can anybody help with a way to restore the T989D (Telus version) back to factory ICS.
Currently i'm on Mr.X's stock rooted ICS ROM.
thanks in advance
Something went wrong as i was flashing the stock rom in odin, it failed 3/4ths of the way in and as a result, my phone constantly wants to shut down. any remedies?
There is this Windows utility that is used to check the Samsung servers for OTA updates. Here is a link: http://fus.nanzen.se/
Download it, install it and run it. It will ask for a whole bunch of stuff for your phone. Here is everything you need to paste into the dialog:
SGH-T989D
Product Code: SGH-T989ZKDTLS
HIDSWVER: T989DTLKJ3/T989DTLKJ3/T989DTLKJ3/T989DTLKJ3
Use it to get the TLLE tar from the server. It will be called something like .tar.md5: it's okay, don't rename it. Just leave it as it is.
[10-foot high red letters]Then start ODIN and flash that as per the instructions in the OP. Don't use a PIT file, even if your copy of ODIN comes with one. Don't choose "Restore partitions", however tempting it might be to do so. Follow the instructions exactly, or you will have to send your phone in for repair! Been there, done that, and it's not fun.[/10-foot high red letters]
After this is done, start the phone, go to Settings and choose Factory Reset, as the ODIN tar does not wipe the data partition (and you absolutely have to wipe it).
Congrats, you are back to stock and noone will ever know your phone was ever running anything but stock.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded the software and when trying to download to download the firmware it gives an error message saying that "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application". I'm not sure if that has got something to do with my laptop!

Enjoy. I used it to recover my own phones a while back.
Please get it quickly and let me know so that I know I can remove it.
Is there anyway to do this on Mac or through the phone itself? I don't have access to windows...

Could you please explain how this file is different with the stock ROM?
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I was about to flash it into my T-mobile device to go back to stock to return the device back to tmobile.What do you mean? This is the stock ROM. Which stock ROM are you referring to?
This is the authentic MD5-signed Samsung ROM for the SGH-T989D sold by TELUS. This is the very file Kies will flash for you if you try to upgrade a stock GB SGH-T989D phone with it and this is the very file all new SGH-T989D sold by TELUS ship with. I merely extracted it from the site Kies checks and used ODIN to flash it instead. I had to bring my phones back to 100% stock and this was the way to do it, Kies will not flash a phone that has been rooted or flashed with a custom ROM. By the way, this will not flash from recovery.
This file is different from the ODIN file for T-Mobile someone else posted a while back because it is for a different carrier: it lacks some T-Mobile specific features like Wifi calling, and also has very little bloat. TELUS appears to favour relatively pristine ROMs. It is also different from the versions Mr. X distributes, as his are rooted, altered for easier tweaking, and repackaged for flashing from recovery.

Greetings to all ..
sorry for my ignorance..
I need to make my phone as factory, with this tool, I can remove superuser????
I hope that anyone who is wise in this will help me
Thank you all for your help....

This will remove superuser along with everything else you want and don't want to keep.
as far as I remember t989 should work for t989d for they are the same phone
But I just tried one and it got stuck on samsung logo after the flash
I dont know why all downloads from sammobile are dropping :S
I forgot to post My deepest appreciation for your compilation. I literally brought my phone back from the dead following your recipe. It took me literally hours and I had to redo it more than once (because of user error) but IT WORKED. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
I was trying to go back to stock with this using odin1.7. I extracted the file. selected the file for PDA. It took a while and I let it go. In the end, it said FAIL! Unfortunately, I unplgged the phone and restarted it. Now, every time I try to get into download mode again, it said firmware upgrade encounter an issue. Can someone help? Thanks!!
