Samsung Galaxy S2x - Telus

creesh · Dec 18, 2011

Hi
I searched through the forum and could not find a thread that explains the rooting process of the Samsung s2x step by step. I found one just for the Bell carrier but not for the sgs2x. I have no idea how to root my device ( but i would love to have some ) and do not know what a kernel is or a rom or whatever.
I have been a iPhone user before and once Samsung launched the s2x = i got attracted and i got it.
So please if anyone can help me and i believe a lot other users too
that would be great
Thanks

Just some extra information of my phone--->

Model: SGH-T989D
Android Version: 2.3.5

Yup, the T-Mobile variant (SGH-T989) is identical to the Telus offering (SGH-T989D) apart from minor differences with included software afaik. Certainly the rooting process is the same.

I'll be making a user friendly guide tomorrow for you like my other one.

That would be great blue1k because it's really confusing with all the different versions of SGS2 around here

Blue1k · Dec 19, 2011

Building it right now. Also to include rom, and kernel and battery saving tips. Will be up in an hour

)
Thanks blue1k

Great job! I've added a link to it in this forum's Rooting Guide (clearly identifying it as for the SGH-i989D), as the differences between the various variants is horribly confusing.

Thanks for your hard work, Blue1k.
