Since I'm at work and can't use ADB but I have no patience, here's what I did:

1. Download Recovery 4.0.0.9 from Modaco's website

2. Using Root Explorer, find the file in your downloads folder on the sdcard.

3. Paste the recovery img file into your phone's /data/local folder.

4. In terminal emulator, first type "su" and then type "'dd if=/data/local/doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21" and let it transfer the recovery file.

Simple as that!

morning All, after installing Revolutionary s-off and gaining root a notification showed up (Tell HTC) send system report to HTC , Does anyone know how I might get rid of this without sending?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
Go to Settings > About Phone > Tell HTC and uncheck the boxes. As far as not sending that report, it should let you choose no, but it shouldn't matter, it's not telling HTC you're rooted, it's just telling them that you're device restarted improperly or whatever.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] smittyis1:
Thank you for the quick response!

I keep getting an error "incorrect beta key" and I'm entering it correctly
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
Try generating one again, make sure you use the Device's Serial number and not anything else. And try typing the key manually into the command prompt, I don't think it's case sensitive.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
Success! after cleaning up all my android driver (including the Acer Iconia) and removing android usb driver with usbdeview-x64. I also used the driver provided from the Revolutionary site.

Thanks for all who help.

I have that unchecked too when i rooted but its ok i've restored my phone on my non-rooted back up.

Sent from my myTouch 4g Slide.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
That recovery fixed my charge problem. Should it also bring back GPS? My GPS remains broken since rooting.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Are you sure you're entering it in correctly? I thought I was as well. Some of the characters are a bit ambiguous. The capital 'I' looks like a lowercase 'L' I had to experiment for a few minutes before it took. When it did it was with characters I didn't think would were in the key. Good luck.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
maaaaan I got a headache.

I got the Revolutionary to work and got my device on S-OFF. But I tried to manually install the latest clockwork and I'm having no success. Everytime I go in C prompt and type in "fastboot devices", it says its not a command etc etc.

I tried to run temproot so I can do the Root Explorer/Terminal method that someone posted a few post back... but it keeps saying "daemon not running" when I click the batch and ADB keeps shutting down when I start it. I installed the fastboot drives and the HTC sync drivers and I don't know whats going on. I ain't spending the whole night doing this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Akujin:
When you are in command prompt you can only launch a command IF AND ONLY IF that command is in the same folder where the command prompt currently is OR if the file exists in a special environmental variable called %PATH%.

%PATH% is usually defined as C:\windows\system32\;C:\windows

You can add more by adding a semicolon and putting in the path to the folder where the exe is.

This is why when you type ping in the command prompt it actually runs C:\windows\system32\ping.exe

To edit the %PATH% variable in Windows

Start -> Right Click "Computer" -> Properties -> "Advanced System Settings" -> "Environment Variables" -> Scroll down to the variable "Path" in the lower portion of the window -> Double click on it to edit -> add a semicolon and the path to your adb.exe and fastboot.exe directory -> Exit by clicking okay on everything.

How to check:

In your new command prompt simply type echo %PATH% to see it's current value.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jdmarko:
If it keeps saying "daemon not running" then it's probably the first time you've run adb. If it says something like "adb shell out of date," you may have HTC Sync running. Look for it in your taskbar (bottom right of windows), right-click on the HTC Sync icon, and select "Exit."

Rather that walking you through how to set up Android SDK and set your path, unzip the attached ADB-Tools, paying attention to where you unzipped them. Open a command-prompt and CD to the directory where you unzipped them, and you should have a working fastboot command.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
You do have the phone in fastboot mode right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
I have the same problem earlier since I was lazy to have my fastboot issue fix. This is what I did

I just re-run revolutionary and install the CWM 4.0.0.8

Flash this SU to get root.

and follow unclespoon's post in Clockwork thread.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
I actually thought about doing this...

to everyone else. thanks for the info. I just didn't have the patience to do all of that at the moment.

Let me try this again.

I opened the revolutionary.exe from cmd via navigating to the android/tools folder, then once you are there you may ctrl+v to copy and paste your key. I hope this helps anyone having the same problem.

Also THANK YOU DEVS!!! This has given me more battery life, better performance the whole nine yards! I can't wait to get a OC kernel, and new toys for this phone. Thank you again!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
Ok I got the fastboot to work with the command prompt and I installed CW 4.0.0.9.

But now I got another issue with Clockwork. When I'm in clockwork, everytime I select something... whether its "Reboot System" or "Backup and restore" from the first menu in CW and then I hit the power button to select it, the logo from behind just comes on the screen and nothing happens until I press the power button again and then the menu comes on.

I'm totally lost now. I had CW on my Evo before and I've never experienced this before. Did something go wrong with the installation of CW or something?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] sj808:
n/m... SMH you have to use the buttons in the front. SMH. damn my touch.

you guys might want to state that for us people coming from other phones.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Aeikozz:
okay flashing the 4.0.0.9 version of clockwork mod worked for me and fixed the charging problem

however it did create the GPS is goddamn ****ing slow to lock on problem.

Well I believe I found a fix as It's been working for me for about 2 hours now.

I went to Settings>Location

Unchecked both of these.

Power > unchecked Fast Boot.

Restarted the device.

after about 10 mins of the devices being on and done loading I went to maps and got directions for taco bell.

At which it prompted me for an agreement to use GPS again and asked me to recheck those.

After doing that I haven't (yet....) had issues with the gps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
Try the trackpad button (middle) to select the items.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
Thanks works wonderfully. Had to learn adb and fastboot overnight. lol:D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
I had the same issue the power button isn't the button to use anymore it's the center button.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
Madblaster6, are your GPS issues resolved with FasterFix? Mine were. Or at least they have been for 3 hours so far.

I'm getting excited!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
Fast fix won't run for me. IDK. gps still not connecting.

If I do a wipe. Will I have to just re-flash su? Or will have have to do the other process?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] overhauling:
It didn't run from me either, turns out flashing the SU didn't set up busy box on my device at all. Downloading busybox installer from the market and setting it up made Fast fix work.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
FasterFix won't run? If you wipe, I'm not sure if that will undo problems caused by rooting. Maybe though. FasterFix absolutely worked for me.

I assume yall didn't backup before rooting?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
Okay Im trying here, I got S-off but I am not showing any devices when I type adb devices, when I type fastboot or fast boot devices it just executes a bunch of commands same as adb.exe I am new to adb so not sure what the issue is. Also when I try syncing with HTC it wont detect the device......
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
If you want to do stuff that needs fastboot you need to:

Power off, power on holding volume+down and then go in fastboot. THEN plug your phone in the usb cord. Fastboot will work then.

adb devices (I'm fairly sure) won't work without a secure=0 boot image (OR unless you are in clockwork)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
yeah I did that no dice
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
its not recognizing fastboot as a command, it is also telling me that my adb shell is out of date
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
Go update your android sdk

try this, my stuff works with a sdk (and revolutionary drivers) from july 2010

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] BiggJurk:
updated the sdk drivers, I also had not executed fastboot.exe from command prompt. Once those things were done correctly the fastboot command worked correctly. Installed Clockwork Recovery and working on rooting as we speak.....
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
You need to run fastboot.exe in the tools folder of the sdk not the adb.exe. Then type fastboot devices not adb devices.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] 0352Goat:
I am also getting the "invalid beta key" message. I have typed it, and re-typed it over and over, even trying doing it off a Linux based Bk just to see.

Any ideas??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
See if you can get a new beta key and try again. For some reason I had to retype mine like 3 times until it finally worked. Maybe you can contact Revolutionary and see if they can help!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fearsome Yeti:
For those having this problem, do a quick double check of your beta key by pasting it into a text editor (notepad) and changing the font to one with serifs (terminal works). This will help you find 0 vs. O and 1 vs. l.

If you have the key copied to the clipboard it would be even easier to paste the key directly into the cmd window using a right_mouse_button-click (or shift-insert) to paste.

I've done this before for things like this where i.e. 1(one) comes right after a string of letters and looks identical to a lower case L, I typed lower case L every time until I did a double check with notepad. Of course, the key is: stop typing and start copy/paste-ing.

There may be a technical issue on Revolutionary's end but do them a favor and make sure you have the right characters before contacting them.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
I noticed with 4.0.0.8 that when the phone is "frozen" after pluggin in the power, it still responds to ADB commands like reboot, so it is actually not frozen.

IEF at Rev verified that the phone is actually charging, but that the LED is glitched.

I tried 4.0.0.9 but didn't do extended testing. I didn't notice a difference.

What exactly is fixed with this?

LED?

Not powering on after being plugged in?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Being able to turn the phone on by manipulating the power button, and not having to do a battery pull.

CWM 4.0.0.9 fixes the issue that causes the need for a battery pull under certain circumstances, when the phone is off and charging.

Here is a direct link to where I posted my findings on this.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
Thank you, this was quite helpful.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] boost_dependent:
I have encountered a little issue with the keyboard and the mapping of some keys. It seems as though the "/" key when pressed generates a "~" instead. However, the softkeyboard works fine.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I get this in terminal emulator. Softkeyboard was my solution as well, but sliding the keyboard in and out to just make a "/" is silly.

I'd love to know how to fix this.

This is off an un-edited keylayout file, just the way it is normally.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
I have the same issue in terminal emulators.

in everything else the ? and / work

Oh, also the @ key has problems in terminals
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pimppoet:
Sorry to be a noob but I am...1st android device lol. Im rooted as of now with the charging problem clockwork recovery. Im able to get to the command prompt & see where my device is listed when I type "fastboot devices" on my pc but after that im lost.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Sinfamy:
put the 4.0.0.9 recovery in the tools folder of the sdk

navigate there in cmd, and type fastboot flash recovery [recovery name].img
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pimppoet:
thanks got it...i didnt have all of the files extracted to the same folder
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bennyhu22:
Just so I know... Do I temproot before I permaroot? Or can I just permaroot?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Micoman:
You can skip the temp-root however if s-off failed then try temp-root first.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bennyhu22:
Thanks dude I already have s-off. So I should follow instructions for perm then
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Madblaster6:
Yes. Why not?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] neanderthal0:
i jumped into the support chat and got a whole new .zip, I also wanted to add that i have also been having the gps lock problem.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Does revolutionary blank out the sim-lock? Or just the nand-lock? Presumably, like VISION, the sim-lock is stored in the same radio-config partition as the nand-lock, so it should be trivial to hit that at the same time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] unclespoon:
From what I understand the Revolutionary tool does not yet SIM unlock your device.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dhkr234:
Hmm, well hopefully, the partition is laid out the same way... once the nand-lock is gone, the partition should be possible to manipulate.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bennyhu22:
So far all I've managed to do is get s-off. I can't get a recovery to save my life. I tried the one that revolutionary downloads, it says success then goes to fast boot but no custom recovery. Just a red triangle. And I can't get adb to work either. I think I'm giving up on it
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] heart_crafter:
I just did it!

took me 1-2 hrs to do the clockworkmod...

after you get S-OFF...

try this...

first of all make sure you got this file http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r12-windows.zip

extract this in c:\android-sdk_r12-windows

not hit windows key + pause/break

then goto advance

then hit envoirnment variables

under system variables hit PATH

then hit Edit

then at the end of the select text add ;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools;

then hit ok,ok,ok

you said adb not working? install http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

turn on debugging mode in your phone...settings>application>development>usb debugging

you need adb to work to install the clockworkmod (custom recovery)

plugin your phone with debugging mode...

open cmd

enter "adb devices"

if you see your device it means adb drivers are there...

enter "adb reboot-recovery" this will restart you phone in recovery mode or do it manually.

now fastboot command should work... since we added "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" in the path variable... i was stuck here for a while because i didnt know this path... :P

type "fastboot devices"

if you see ur device now... you can install the recovery image...

download the image from http://www.multiupload.com/OC4MDYRAMB

and save in c:\

now run type "fastboot flash recovery C:\doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img"

then you should see something like this

sending 'recovery' (5268 KB)...

OKAY [ 1.234s]

writing 'recovery'...

OKAY [ 9.062s]

finished. total time: 10.312s​

now follow the instructions to install supperuser from first post...

and on step 5 use you front keypad button to select "backup and restore" ... power button does something else (nothing bad) try it...

ok reply here and pm me ... if u get stuck...

c ya! have fun
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] heart_crafter:
Alrighty here's my feedback.

Following helped me running "adb" and "fastboot" easily (i was stuck on fastboot command because i wasn't sure where it(exe) was located at)...

Downloaded android-sdk_r12-windows.zip and extracted in c: drive.

[added in system path variable] ;C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools;C:\android-sdk-windows\tools;

After running revolutionary-0.4pre4, at the end it asked me if i want to install clockworkmod recovery...

I hit "y" and resumed...

After about 30 sec... revolutionary.exe dissapeared...

And i was still in the bootloader screen....

So I rebooted...

And checked... if i got root...

but i guess we need to install the doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img then install su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to get everything working easily...

Plugged in my phone to the pc(windows)

checked "fastboot devices" command... (worked)

on step 5.Navigate to "Backup & Restore" using the Volume Down button and press select (power button to select) then select "Backup" The power button switches recoverymode to like a screensaver mode... removes all options and brings the logo in front... hitting it back again brings back the option... i used my touch pad button to select the "backup and recovery" option

on step 8.Then select "su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip" (or whatever file you obtained from above) I also had to reboot for a successfull install.

installed BusyBox 1.18.4...

all good 4 now...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] grinchyboy:
i really need help with this :/

im new to mytouch rooting

samsung is way easier

so i got s-off and im trying to get clockworkmod

i try to do the same thing as the op

by opening command promt and trying fastboot devices but it says

'fastboot' is not recognized by any interal/external command?

what am i doing wrong? :(
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
How did this work out for you? Did you find a good range minfree's? The preconfigured ones seem to be for lower memory devices.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] heart_crafter:
I had the same issue...

Read thread #155

fastboot is located under "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\"
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] grinchyboy:
i try opening it but says it cant open cause i need a file

also when i try opening adb, it opens for like half a second then closes
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] heart_crafter:
you don't open that file....

open cmd (comand prompt)

then type cd "C:\android-sdk-windows\tools"

then type "fastboot flash recovery C:\doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img"

make sure doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img exist in c:\ or the above comand will not work.

reply here and pm me if u get stuck again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] grinchyboy:
not working for me :/

i type it on the command promt but still says the same thing

mine is like this C:\AndroidSDK\tools but then i get the error operable program or batch file, etc
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
With the new people coming in, I suppose some don't know that this thread wasn't the one actually announcing the release of revolutionary, and the instructions following it's install.

This thread was around first, because of the temp-root solution, but that can also make it slightly more confusing since we're long past that need now.

Quote from the other thread, instructions for if you don't want to use adb:

If the revolutionary S-OFF patch is still distributed with CWM 4.0.0.8, then you could use this method to upgrade to 4.0.0.9 after flashing superuser, and once you install a terminal emulator app on the phone.

It's what I did when I got that far - but i'm S-OFF from rev 0.4pre3, and I think it's 0.4pre4 now.

Anyways, here's the other thread, maybe you could browse through it for some more information that could help you:

[UTIL] S-OFF for Retail (S-ON) Devices, NOTE ADDED 8/17/11

Reading through both threads, and while we're at it, going to ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.0.9 for the T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide (MoDaCo edition) and reading through there too might help answer some question before they are asked.

Figured it was about time to link up all 3 threads again.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
There is a term emulator way of flashing the latest recovery. I hate ADB with a Passion. Terminal is much easier to use. Go to his thread and look for the directions.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] heart_crafter:
fastboot is an executable file... so you have to figure out that if you even have it or not...

search for fastboot under C:\AndroidSDK

if you find it then you are good...

if not then you have to download the android sdk zip file and extract it then look for fastboot in there... and then you can run your flashboot comand... using the correct path...

if still doesn’t work after you have found the fastboot.exe

then you have to do some reading hehe

read this thread(162)... and all the links inside...

have fun!...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pagantek:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] madrascafe:
Hi

I followed these steps on myTouch 4G Slide. I update the CWM to 4.0.0.9. I am able to get into recovery but whenever i select anything in the menu all i get is a splash screen with the modaco logo in the middle. No menus or options. When i press the power button again, I am back to the main CWM menu..

For now i guess i have to redo the revolutionary steps...

UPDATE:

I figured it out..

Moving from 4.0.0.8 to 4.0.0.9 you can't use the power button to make your selection within CWM anymore. You have to use the trackpad button instead.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
We're looking into it here and while it's not the solution, it's a great and helpful start.

Maybe you could help, if you know anything that could be added - especially information surrounding android commands that can be used to control specific aspects of the gps functionality.

I'm not able to get back to my computer much right now, and the next few days are going to be pretty hectic for me so i'm kind of on a "forced leave" from this all - hopefully by sometime in the middle of the week next week I can start getting some free time again.
