    Hi Max, this worked great but I have a quick question. Does the Tmobile s2 have dual/stereo speakers? I ask because when playing music, movies, YouTube, etc using the built-in speaker(s), I only hear audio coming from the bottom rear (portrait orientation).

  25. adam morris says:

    @zedomax I used the updated root system on the website while coming from.the latest 2.3.6 update. The Odin process took about 10 minutes instead of the usual 10 seconds. But now the recover isn’t the CWM, its the Android 3e recovery. Do I need to use Odin again to finish the rooting?

Got something to say? Go for it!
