[Q] ROM Question for SGH-T889

[Taxmaster]

Hello All,

My brother just bought a SGH-T889 from T-Mobile and would like to get it all juiced up. I myself own an SCH-i605 (Verizon GN2) and am rooted, bootloader unlocked, and am running CleanROM 4.0.5 w/Perseus 30 kernel. I have some questions regarding how to proceed with the T-Mobile Device:

Quick Note: I have already Rooted my brother's SGH-T889 and have TWRP up and running as his recovery. He is running stock ROM w/Root.

Question 1: Does T-Mobile have a "locked bootloader" on the SGH-T889 like I did on my Verizon SCH-I605? If so, how do I unlock it?

Question 2: Does anyone know of a ROM that is similar to CleanROM for the SGH-T889? To my knowledge, that ROM isn't supported on T-Mobile. CleanROM provides the overall stock experience less the bloatware with some additional mods. Note: My brother purchased an 64GB MicroSD Class 10 SanDisk card that I plan on running the app2sd script on (using SManager), so the ROM must support the exFAT 64GB formatted card. I know some ROM's do not offer 64GB compatibility, so that is something I need to be weary of. Perseus Kernel support would also be great.

Thank you so much!

CleanROM ACE works on my SGH-T889 with no problems. I also use the Perseus T889 Kernel, which is great.

Could you please post the link to the T Mobile variant? Did you have to do something special to install it?

I used the CleanROM "ACE" (All Carrier Edition) found in the AT&T forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986893

Nothing special to install, just made a nandroid backup through CWM, did a factory wipe, and flashed with CWM.

This is the version of Perseus Kernel that I used :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960935

From what I have read, it would be advisable to backup your EFS partition first as explained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2026749

Can anyone else confirm that you do not need to "UNLOCK" the Bootloader on the T-Mobile variant of the GN2?

I did not have to unlock bootloader. And am running cleanrom at&t on my t889. Working perfectly and has great battery life.

Verizon loves to lock their bootloaders. Tmobile not so much.

Samsung Note N7100 PIT File

Good Day !
I have a Samsung Note N7100 with a strange problem.
I did a hard reset on it and it started acting up.
Now, it cannot go into RECOVERY Mode ( VOLUME UP+ HOME BUTTON + POWER BOTTON )
When i try to turn it into Recovery Mode , the Display comes with FLICKERS .
Moreso, when it is turned on , it comes on with Flickering Display.
But it does go into DOWNLOAD MODE without problems.
I have tried flashing it with different ODIN Versions and FIRMWARES downloaded here on XDA and Samobile but di not help. Error Message : No Partition Files Found .
Basically , i would appreciate it if i can have a link to download a PARTITION File for Note N7100 or any Professional Advice .

Best regards.

Sounds like eMMc chip failure that was found occasionally on many variants of the Note 2. May need a chip replacement. You can certainly continue to try to repair it through flashing and software, but if the chip is fried, you could look to this link for repair... http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2/

Or you may just choose to accept that your phone is now a 3 year old model and just get a new one. Good luck!
