[KERNEL] SGH-T989 UVKID // Insecure

SGH-T989 UVKID // Insecure

What does insecure mean?

By default, Samsung and T-Mobile have choosen to lock down the stock kernel on there Galaxy S II variant, but with this kernel you can reverse that affect.

Features

Code:

#
# ADDITIONAL_DEFAULT_PROPERTIES
#
ro.secure=0
ro.allow.mock.location=0
ro.debuggable=1
persist.service.adb.enable=1

Once you flash this you will also gain the ability to root with Super One Click avoiding the flashing of ClockworkMod Recovery if that isn't what you want to do.

How does this benefit developers and themers?

With this modded kernel, developers, themers, and modders alike can all push to /system without having to boot into recovery meaning more time to test and less time spent rebooting.

Downloads

You can reference the second post on how to flash the kernel itself, but you can grab it from here.

This kernel was compiled with the fixed source, with a modded stock initramfs that insecured the kernel. The compression type is LZMA.

If you like my work..

and wish to donate you can buy me my very own T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II by using the details posted here.

How to Flash

We are going to be using Odin in this explanation to flash the stock kernel to your phone.

Downloads

First you are going to want to start by downloading all the needed files onto your computer and then place them onto your Desktop.

Samsung Kies

Odin3-v1.85.zip

SGH-T989-UVKID-Insecure.tar

Process

Once you have everything downloaded and on your desktop, you are going to want to first install kies.

After this is done you should restart your computer for proper driver installation.

Next, extract Odin to a new folder on your Desktop. Leave the tar in the form it is.

Now, open up Odin by double clicking the .exe in the folder you extracted it to.

The most important step is now, you need to put your device into Download/ODIN mode so your computer will recognize it and be able to flash to it. To do this simply turn your phone off completely (or pull the battery). Then you are going to want to use the following button combination to force your device into download mode:

Quote:

Hold the volume up/down and power button all at the same time.

Now ODIN should have recognized your device ( it may take a while for the drivers to complete installation so don't panic the first time).

Lastly, we want to click on the PDA button and then search for the SGH-T989-UVKID-Insecure.tar we download earlier and placed on the Desktop.

If all of the above has taken place you are free to hit the Start button.

Done!

If all has gone well at this point the flash should be proven successful and your phone should reboot like normal.

If so, please feel pressured to give yourself a pat on the back, that was tough! :P
