OTG- USB Enabled Kernel for T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

A kernel comes with OTG (on the go) USB Host mode enabled that eventually let the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989 connects to any USB accessories such as keyboard, mouse, joystick, USB flash drives and hard disk etc. This very impressive kernel was modified and developed by zedomax, a first of it's kind USB Host Enabled kernel for Galaxy S II SGH-T989.

Well, after about a week of compiling, I finally got a working kernel, this is my first kernel for the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 SGH-T989.

I present you, world's first OTG-enabled T-Mobile Galaxy S2!

The kernel comes with OTG USB Host mode enabled. It allows you to connect USB Flash drives, USB Hard disks (must be powered independently), USB Mouse, USB Keyboard, etc...etc..


That's about it for now since it took me a week to get a kernel working (the other ones have ended me in an infinite boot loop for a whole week, very frustrating.).

So far the kernel only works for T-Mobile Galaxy S2 (SGH-T989) and doesn’t work yet for Telus version of Galaxy S2 but the developer might work it out in the near future. You can track down the progress of this said USB kernel on this thread here at XDA.

Guide to Root T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 SGH-T989 via Odin

The T-Mobile version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 is now can be rooted. One of our trusted android developer slayher over rootzwiki has finally done an awesome job and recently posted a how to root guide of the T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 T989. The rooting process is just a bit too easy, by way of -  flashing a CWR tar file(ClockWorkMod Recovery) via odin and manually installing an SU zip file (Super User) via the phone's SD card.

Download the ClockworkMod Recovery and Superuser zip files and follow the whole rooting instruction from slayher here.

Here's some screen shots on how to Root the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 device. 
1) On Odin put the ClockworkMod Recovery tar file for T-Mobile Galaxy S2 .

 2) After setting the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 into download mode by pressing Volume Up and Volume Down, connect the phone to PC USB cable. Once Odin detected the phone, hit the "START" button to begin flashing the CWR.
3) When ODIN completes the flashing process and once rebooted this time we need to install the SU zip file on the SD card. Copy the SuperUser zip to the SD card.

4) This time we boot the T-Mobile Galaxy S2 into recovery mode by holding both Vol up and Vol down and by hitting the Power button. Once in Recovery mode make a Nandroid backup on the display option.
Then select Install zip from sdcard, choose the superuser zip use the Volume up and Down key and select the SuperUzer.zip to install.
