Why on earth would you want a stock rom, other than as an emergency fall-back? The JFD stock, at least, is terrible. Try Cyanogenmod or an ICS build. With luck, your GPS might even work.

PS : in other threads, I have seen two references to people bricking their phone with an alleged newer stock rom from samfirmware.com, forget the exact name but it has a K instead of a J. Caveat emptor.

You also might have better luck posting the question in the SGS2 section...

It sounds like you're trying to find the GS2 stock rom for your Vibrant? The GS2 stock ROM will most likely not work on your Vibrant, they're different devices, sorry.

I mean to say that i wanted to know where i can find a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II port for the vibrant . I really want one the looks just like the Tmo SGS2!!!! :-/

You're probably going to have trouble finding a non SGSII port that's stock since not many were developed and none are still supported.
jellete's heathens sgs ii clone might suit most of you needs though (and it looks like you can still actually download it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061811&highlight=sgsii

S-Voice for Galaxy S II

Hi, I have searched for an answer and haven't had any luck. I know that the latest S-Voice App supposedly can't be installed on something other than a device running ICS. Found Here: http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/samsung-galaxy-s-ii/
However, I can't seem to get it to work. It keeps giving me an error: There is a problem parsing the package.
I'm guessing I can't install it because I'm not running ICS. Can anyone confirm this? as it has been mentioned, that it does work. Found Here: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/samsung-s-voice-ripped-for-the-world-to-enjoy/
SGH-7989
VER: 2.3.6

I'm still waiting for ICS to come out for T-Mobile...I have not Rooted my Device yet, don't really plan on it yet, but am considering it in the far future...lol

Thanks for your reply! I guess I'll wait for the ICS to officially come out for TM...
OP, you realize that as a T-mobile USA user, who owns an SGH-T989, you are actually in the wrong forum for your device, right? (I've also noticed you've posted in the Epic 4G Touch forums as well...)
I've already tried to tell you once that you're posting in the wrong forums. I guess it's up to you to realize what you're doing.
I'm not saying it as a matter of you're not allowed to post here, but if you request ports, mods, firmwares or kernels, and you post in a device forum that ISN'T yours, people will link you to solutions that will NOT work for your phone, and in all likelihood cause you no shortage of headaches if you decide to follow their instructions or install stuff they link you to.
Your device (SGH-T989) has VERY different hardware from the GT-I9100 and the Epic 4G Touch (SPH-D710).
But it's up if you want to continue to post in other device forums.
i used this -http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1662959&page=12
and its working perfectly
and i think it wont work on 2.3.3
upgrade to ics and use go launcher ,, even i was thinking GB was bettter , but after using hydrogenics i dont feel like going back

I didn't realize I was in the wrong forum...and I don't recall you ever telling me such in the past.. I don't visit here all that often, only for advice or to help someone else if I figure out something. I am new to Droids and this forum, probably only here a few months.

Well, the reason it won't work for you is because the app only works on ICS, apparently. Not because of your device. (That link is to a post in the HTC Sensation forum)
You're still on Gingerbread.

What about the other version that's been hacked ???

A new hacked version of svoice have been released. I tried it on my GS2 running ICS Resurrection 1.9.1 and it is working with no issue. It bypass verification by Samsung. Just copy the zip file to your SDCard and flash using CWM.

SGH-I747M from Telus

Ok, so yesterday i bought a SG3 from Telus(Im from New-Brunswick Canada, so its Telus or Bell)... but the thing is, its not a I9300, its a SGH-I747M.... so i was wondering, if anyone knows about the hardware? Is it similar to the i9300? can i use the i9300 roots/recovery/kernels etc? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, this is a nice guide, but i already rooted the phone, thing is, i want to use a custom rom, and there is no forums for the SGH-I747M or whatever, so im wondering if the I9300 roms/kernels work for it
Sorry not sure if this helps you, but there are other S3 forums.
I would think the telus/bell/rogers devices are more similar to the AT&T version, as it is also designated a similar model number SCH-I747.
Link to the other forums here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1667
According to www.pdadb.net your i747 is similar to AT&T's S3 http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=3602&c=samsung_sgh-i747_galaxy_s_iii_lte
BUT I would recommend you do a lot more research and ask the devs in that section before trying anything. As you will most probably end up messing your phone up in using something incompatible.

I would definitely not use anything meant for the i9300 on your device as it is not hardware compatible, different CPU (quad samsung vs dual qualcomm)

[Q] Regarding rooting on 4.0.3 T-Mobile Galaxy S II

Hey guys. I came from the Sidekick 4G and helped ROM development there. However, it was time for me to go. In lieu of this, I picked up the SGS2. Like any other user here on XDA, I want pure freedom and control of my device. However, I'm a bit confused. The picture for this category has a weird middle button, which is lacking on mine. Mine is the T-Mobile variant and I just used Kies to update to 4.0.3 official. Can someone please guide me in the right direction to root 4.0.3 ICS Official on T-Mobile? Thank-you in advance.
P.S : I tried searching, but all of the threads confused the hell out of me, and I just want a clear justified answer.
EDIT : Found a forum with the name T-Mobile Galaxy S II, thank-you for your time. Mods, please close/delete.
Just use the rooting guide by "Rachmat".Install a kernel like Siyah before/in case your going to use 4.0.4 stock.

[Q] how to uninstall cyanogenmod 10 from galaxy s2 i777 trackfone/straight talk

ok..so here's the problem i have a Samsung galaxy s2 i777 from track-phone/straight talk (im not sure what it is...) it was sold to me online i reset the whole phone and this cyangenMod thing keeps coming up when it boots up after the factory reset I don't want it on the phone but i have no idea how to uninstall it or get rid of it. i just want to get the phone back to how it came out of the box like a new phone but i'm at a lost i've tried the oden program and the phone wont connect to it. i don't know what files it needs or what i have to do i'm at a complete and total loss...
if someone could help me out with this it would be a REALLY big help to me thank you to anyone who reads this and an even bigger thank you to the person(s) who help.
Why would you want to get rid of CyanogenMod? It's quite possibly the best thing to ever happen to phones.
Especially if you're running cm10.1, it's 4.2.2

You want to get rid of it? Easy
Option 1: return it to seller, demand s/he send you another one with pure stock firmware on it, not a custom one or request for the refund.
Option 2: reverse back to stock (from CM) yourself. Since you're here, you should have read anyway, so read up those threads especially the stickies and DIY.

The other posters Actually have given you good advice, and it appears that they have pointed you to the place to answer your question! Really!
It sounds like you have a modified Straight Talk phone (please note that the ATT version is I777 and the ST version is S959G. It would be interesting to know whether you have an I777s or S959G).
IF you have an S959G, then your best bet is to check the thread posted down below as Phalanx and the others have mentioned --it's literally below the post you created (several posts below now, just look for the title "Straight Talk SGS2- SGH-S959G" (<- or click on these "straight talk" words)
It may seem frustrating to get a phone that is customized, and right now you just want a phone; However, you actually have one of the nicest and newest roms available for this type of phone!
IF your phone boots CM10.1 and you have the normal android screens, then you have everything that the ST or AT&T company would provide on a "normal" phone, but without some of the junk and advertising that often infects our phones! Try it out! The interface is not that much different from "stock."
Still, if you don't like your phone that way, YOU can fix it and it is not really hard, but just takes some reading and patience to gain understanding of the techniques and processes (learning the principles also is interesting! :laugh
But it will take you at least a few hours of reading, and a bit patience to scan through the Straight Talk links and pages. If you do that you'll see others who have your issue, and also others who turned the issue around to make it a plus!
A modified phone is more of a commitment than a stock phone -but it returns more to the user! Especially if you want to adjust it, enhance it, or appreciate it, you have to put in time.
If that's not for you -perhaps turn it around on ebay. But a working CM10.1 on a Galaxy S2 is a good machine!
Good Luck
Good Luck
darkecojack send me a PM bro, I'll help you out with what you need to do step by step, even willing to help you over the phone if you want...
