3 Days on the Internet? All you had to do is go into the Development section and look at my Repo thread or N00b's bible thread. They are in either one and both are stickied at the top.
***These are only for the SGH-t959 and not the t959V. How do you know which is which? Go into Settings>About Phone and see there or of you have the V version, you will have a front facing camera. If you do have the 959V, then you cannot flash these in Odin.
Let me know if either downloads don work for some reason and I will reupload to my Repo thread. Just quote me and I will get the notification. Good luck.

Please...help me???

I'm still fairly New here, and don't know anything about flashing and all that other stuff. Getting to the point I got the T-Mobile OTA update today and when installing it "Bricked" my Vibrant. I've been doing a lot of reading on these forums and I got to the point where I go into "Download Mode" It says install ODIN. I searched for that, I did find one file however I don't think it's the correct version because some of the direction I've read mentioned something about PIT and I don't see that so can someone PLEASE provide me a link to the right version as well as the the stock Vibrant Rom and Instructions help is GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!

i would also bump this.. i have been looking everywhere.. found many guides .. have tried them ..buit it always gives some errors , etc etc.. couldnt find any guide specifcally for samsung galaxy s2 .. hope someone (devs) if they have time could make one ..
edit
----
saw the above post..i have seen that .. will give it a go
First you post in the right place - NOT dev area. This is hardly a cutting edge dev question
Second, start reading EVERYTHING you can find. Little is unique about SGS2. Most is same as any other phone.
Third, build enough trust in yourself to flash your own phone with something you make... The important bit
Hey Thanks Meter 1192.
I was wondering if you can teach me or show me a little bit how to create own custom firmware if you have time and are willing to help.
Thank's

[Q] Getting Ad-Hoc wifi to work

Hi folks,
I purchased a Tab 8.9 in the US, and I've rooted it using mramirezusa's guide. I now need to get it working with ad-hoc networks so I can tether it to my Galaxy S2. I gather that I need to replace the wpa_supplicant file to enable this.
Most of the guides I have seen refer to the Tab 10.1 (and v), so my main question is really, what particular guide have any of the 8.9 owners here used themselves successfully? I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1083182&page=4 and on this page I particularly like the sound of the instructions on post 35 (as it avoids faffing with adb which I've never used before!). The only thing that I'm not sure of is WHAT wpa_supplicant file to use. In other words, are there different versions? Would the version attached to that thread be fine to use for the 8.9?
Many thanks for your help!
EDIT: Just seen that the 10.1 forum has a thread for 8.9 questions. I'll also look in there to see if anyone has the same question.
look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1309677
Thanks for taking the time to answer, but I don't want to go down the ROM route just yet, until we have nandroid backup available. I'll feel more comfortable just dealing with the wpa_supplicant file for now. Anyone got any further pointers to my original questions?
Cheers.

Actually, I only looked at the first few words and I saw the word ROM, and I ran away haha. But looking again it seems it's not a ROM at all. Can you clarify exactly what it is?? And is the OP saying that by applying this zip file all of those listed APKs will be automatically removed? As there's actually things in that list that I would like to keep...
Alternatively, if someone can direct me to a wpa_supplicant file they know works with the 8.9, then I'd be happy to take a punt with the instructions in the thread I mentioned in my first post. Ta.
that's no rom. take a look in the zip and you will find a wpa_supplicant file you can apply

So I can just extract the file from that zip and use it for my shenannigans? Excellent! Thanks very much for your help!

You may have mistaken this site for Samsung Support. It isn't.
Folks on here help out of a sense of community, they don't get paid for it.
The person you just told to feck off is very knowledgeable and answers a heck of a lot of questions nearly every day.
I am on the same T-Mobile UK network as you and have downloaded from here the very ROM you are looking for, although that has been updated since them. I could easily do the same search on here and point you the link, but would you know what to do with the file? Or have you already fully read the Odin flashing instructions on here?
My first time here was with the HTC Compact III, I read for at least a week all the stickies at the top of each section. When I was sure I wanted to flash a rom, I read and re-read the thread and was as well prepared as I could be.
I am deeply indebted to all those developers and the more knowledgeable on here, who turn my phone into something very special. The least I can do is search before I ask, because nearly every question has already been asked.
i know what to do

Here is a big clue:
Samsung Galaxy S II I9100 > Galaxy S II Original Android Development[ROMS] > Official i9100 carrier branded firmware download for Odin Flash

The BOKE3 was the origonal firmware for the T-Mobile UK SGSII.
BOKF3, BOKG2 and BOKK1 are revised firmwares.
The stock kernels are there if you have rooted your phone with a CF-Root kernel and then reflash with the stock kernel to get rid of the warning triangle at bootup.
The one you are looking for is not a T-Mobile UK ROM, but rather a Samsung Stock ROM for Europe. Flashing that would invalidate the phone's warranty (if you had to take it back to service). That said, that ROM is really old. For newer versions of Samsung stock ROM then look * HERE *
you are good

this is the S9 forum, there is a separate one for the S9+. Ill notify a Samsung forum mod to get it moved there, but the place to get firmwares from is www.sammobile.com/firmwares. there are 2 tools available to facilitate MUCH faster downloads called SamFirm and the Frija tool. Both are available here on XDA for free and they allow you to download the rather large files at 5x speed.
