No, alpharev is not written in hboot, but S-OFF is written, I dont think, I got S-OFF by alpharev, it was already S-OFF when I got it(bought it used on internet), but I do have permanent Root. And also the recovery is android default.

I think, I know what to do.

First, I need to downgrade firmware by updating ESPRIMG.zip in hboot, then go into recovery and flash update.zip(CWM recovery), then flash update radio, then a custom rom.

I wish I didnt have to go through all that, just to get the CWM recovery.. :(

SIGH!! I just need recovery to delete bloatware and T-Mobile apps, wish I didnt had to tweak and configure every setting to my liking from scratch! :(

Thanks for replying anyway! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
Ok well here you go... Before you try to unroot and reroot try to flash this thru fastboot:

http://db.tt/BNX3zbd
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:
Do you mean, rename the downloaded file to 'update.zip' and flash it through recovery.

Or

Extract the recovery.img file and use 'flash recovery recovery.img' command throught fastboot??

Edit: OH! Sorry! Didnt read fully, my mistake! ;D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
Ya use this command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

That should flash it if you truly have s-off...

PS: the way you were trying to flash recovery thru flash image was wrong. Flash image should be in /system/xbin and the command should look like this:

Adb shell

# flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

After that you should have cwm recovery

Edit: if flashing thru fastboot the recovery.img should be in the same folder as the fastboot binary
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:
Okay, the fastboot flash method failed, yet again. Says FAILED(remote:not allowed)

According to this tutorial , the mtd0.img and flash_image files were to be copied or pushed int /data/local/

But im gonna copy them there too, and try again, through terminal, and through adb too. Lets hope it works! Fingers crossed!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
Fastboot failed... Sorry buddy but that only means one thing... You have s-on... No other way will work until you downgrade or s-off... But what I wonder about is that you said you were permanently rooted... Try to s-off using the livecd from here: http://alpharev.nl/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:
Will doing this S-OFF procedure, wipe my data and factory reset?

And here is what I tried, upon your suggestion, (i put both files with the fastboot.exe)

adb push flash_image /system/xbin

adb push mtd0.img /system/xbin

adb shell

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

After that the pound sign(#) just comes and nothing is written.

then i tried this

cd /system/xbin

chmod 04755 *

/system/xbin/flash_image misc /system/xbin/mtd0.img

then it says 'error writing misc: Permission Denied

I know I have root, because, i can get su and Explore root by Root Explorere APP

I guess, it just says, S-OFF, but actually it is S-ON

Also tried using the flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img comman, while in adb shell too

it also said PERMISSION DENIED!

That is so cruel and unfair.

So Will doing this S-OFF procedure, wipe my data and factory reset?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
The s-off shouldn't wipe your phone... It may brick it if done incorrectly tho... But follow the guide on the site
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] izzy001:
Wow it does say s-off but you don't have it... The person you bought it from must of messed with the hboot to fool you (the buyer) to think you actually had s-off... Or you could have an engineering build... Wish there was a way to extract the hboot from your phone to have a look at it

Edit: my hboot reads:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
It's actually very possible it could be an engineering device. I mean I'm not sure if anyone dev or not would s-off without alpha rev or did use alpha rev before they fully tested it and maybe added "==Alpha rev==" but none the less a lot of developers for this phone have moved on and sold they're mytouch slide to do so.

I was also thinking that maybe it might be froyo's hboot just s-offed... I have never seen it since we got s-off before froyo... Might also be an unlocked bootloader in its locked state since he can't flash recovery or modify the system
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
If there is something wrong with rom manager then try downloading superuser from the market first and then get into rom manager and try flashing clockwork mod.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:
Yea, this is what I think happened.

While he was on 2.1 before OTA update, he rooted, then S-OFF, some how got S-OFF by some method. But then he, updated with the official software updater to 2.2.1. Lost root, and S-OFF, but somehow, it just doesnt show it on hboot.

When I try SuperOneClick software,it says root successful, but I still cannot write to /system/xbin

but i can write to /data/local/

and /sqlite_stmt_journals folder is not present(doesnt exist)

So, im assuming its all messed up.

So I need to downgrade again to 2.1 then flash recovery, flash radio, flash rom, then do with the AlphaRev S-OFF method.

Correct me,if Im missing anything!

Sorry, I didn't go through all the page, but is anyone experiencing so drastic battery drainage? My battery will go from 100% to 78% in less than 2hrs while the phone is in sleep mode.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:
Thats probably cause of the kernel and the overclocking, did u overclock your CPU?

try installing setCPU and manually adjusting the min and max speed, and setting the speed to min while in sleep mode.

Just a thought!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] 2k civic:
Yea its overclock. I have setcpu set at 787max 19min. Should I installed a different kernel and not overclock it? There is nothing bad about the rom, its just that the battery thing is an inconvenience.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AiZ_04:
This rom will only run on this OC KERNER , if im not mistaken(says on the first page)

just just have to fiddle with the profiles in setCPU.. i dont have setCPU in my rom right now, so I cant help u specifically..

Only other option would be to install another rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Wagedroid:
Even so overclocking shouldn't chew through battery like that... Wipe battery stats, let phone fully die then fully charge it.. if this doesn't fix it.. something is running constantly on your system that shouldn't be.. also your underclocking.. my minimum is 480.

anything in /data should be writeable... But if i remember correctly you need to make a goldcard to root 2.2.1 just if you try to use the downgrade file you'll just get an error saying that the current system is higher than the file

Error with Screen

Hey, I don't know if this is just me, but after installing the 1.0 Final version, my screen started acting up. At first it was just a few bugs, but now, the screen doesn't even turn on. The notification light blinks and the device boots up, but the screen doesn't respond to anything. I'm not sure if this is a software issue or if my screen just died and it was coincidence. Does anyone know any way that I can switch the ROM without being able to physically see anything?

Mine has been running fine since the rom came out... It maybe your phone
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nonextstop:

Okay.. thnx!

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

this has "a2ext added use ext3" .. so back up ur sd card, cause it will erase all your data, and use rom manager to partition your sd card, no need for swap. This will partition your sd card and make an ext3 partition, now you have much more space, well, there r 3 options in rom manager 128mb, 256mb, and 512mb, im using 256mb, its sufficient. But if its less, you can always manually partition your sd card.

And if after partitioning, nothing happens, then flash DarkTremor's App2ext script. But I think this already has that!

---------- Post added at 01:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 PM ----------
