[myTouch 3G Slide General] raziel420:
OK, so heres the breakdown. I had already made a goldcard, that seems to work properly.

I installed PDAnet (and shut it down, since we only need the ADB driver)

Downloaded all the listed software, from the sources listed. Made notated modifications to downloaded software to create the modified official upgrader.

Ran upgrader, and received error 140, bootloader version error, looking through the logs (which i didn't realize it made, they can be found at c:/ruu_log )The whole thing fails at line 166, "<T104750><DEBUG><OUT>FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)</OUT>" is the log output.

I attempted to modify the rom.zip with an adjusted version number higher then the one installed (should work in theory) but it refuses the change (of course I was just doing a simple text edit after opening it with winrar, it refuses to save change due to corrupted image).

It could be possible that one of your other attempts caused your phone to ignore version mismatches, or downgrades, which is causing the rest of us to get 140 errors.

Ahh the fun of the shotgun method, you threw so much crap at the wall that some of it stuck, and now we can't repeat the results, lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dgrwe2512:
Yep, I'm getting the exact same thing, after 30 or so attempts, trying different angles.

<T135654><DEBUG><OUT>INFOchecking main version...</OUT>

I keep getting the 140 error but heres my log, and I have PDAnet installed and running and this works if I go from 2.2.1 to 2.2.1 again but it wont downgrade. Mine has the remote: 43 main version thing as well. I tried with and without a goldcard and got notha

Then followed the rest of the instructions in this to get CM7 on it and its all working great

Have problems with this step.

when i go into "install rom from sd card" and then i pick the "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" then i have 3 check box (wath to do here?), so i just push "ok" and the phone restart first time with a question mark in red on the screen, then restart again without any problem, but then i try to open the market app and it close immediately. so now i cant sync my contacts or calendar. please help!

To everyone who is having trouble with this I would like to tell you that I have done it and it worked. I did it in about an hour. I have been trying to root my MyTouch 3G Slide before the Android 2.2 update was made official by T-Mobile. Also, that I am a simple person who doesn’t know anything about programming or this kind of stuff. I just follow directions.

I followed ECKRE’s instructions in post #1 down to the letter until I experienced the BOOTLOADER ERROR in STEP #11.

Here is a link to the page where you can find his post; look for post #1 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1189485 )

After getting the error I found INSANITYRAINS post, post #24 and did what he suggested. I downloaded the files he recommended and followed his instructions and was able to get my phone to root.

Here is a link to the page where you can find his post; look for post #24 ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1189485&page=3 )

NOTE: You have to manually copy “update.zip” to your SD Card. The mt3gs rooter program wasn’t able to copy it automatically. After update was successful I went back to ECKRE’s instructions and continued with Step #12until the end.

SUGGESTION: Use a blank SD Card.

NOTE: For the Google apps installation: My phone couldn’t see the “gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip” so I renamed it “update.zip” and copied it to the SD card. Be sure to read everything, there is a lot of on screen information.

Here is the link to the files in the INSANITYRAINS instructions in post #24. ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1108316&page=2 ) look for post #13

Disclaimer: I am not remaking instructions just simply stating what worked for me. Credit goes to the guys who put all of the work into making this root successful.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] ganjagarn:
Did anybody else have success with this method? I want to start my rooting but after going through all these posts I'm scared I'll brick my phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] insanityrains:
To my knowledge the only way you can really brick your phone is by turning it off during the rooting process (which is very unlikely) or during the process of S-Off which is separate from rooting. After rooting and if you chose to put CM7 on, it is all reversible. You are able to rollback your phone to 2.2 or even 2.1 if desired.

Also have this this problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] JWEEZY78:
Hybrid Approach

So I provided some of the instructions that was used to build this guide (see "Stuck on step 8" in the Cyanogenmod forums - the post from DaMaestro78)

In that post I basically stated use the latest HTC rom upgrade program with the older image before using the older non goldcard methods to root.

At that time I had provided the information; I had already had failed attempts to root; so it is possible that the stuff I did before that aided in the final result. It is possible that is not accounted for here.

So if you got to step 8 of the goldcard version; then switched to this; it most likly would work.

Stuck on Step 21 installing Google Apps on CyanogenMod 7

I know this is an old question, but I had it too, so I thought I would answer it to help others. I am thankful for this awesome tutorial, but I did get stumped.

1) On Step 21, if you have tried it and failed to install Google Apps, you may be like me and not patient enough and Rom Manager might have hung, so reboot the phone.

2) Once rebooted go to the eye with the hat "Rom Manager" I am using 5.0.0.7 for reference. Click the first option "Flash ClockworkMode Recovery" and wait. I think mine took 3 or so minutes. It will appear to do nothing, then it will say Success! or Finished.

3) Now click "Reboot into Recovery". click OK

4) It will reboot into a DOS/ Command line based "GUI" with the first line highlighted. Used the Volume down button to move to "install zip from sdcard" and push the CAMERA button to select (the one on the lower right side. the shinny silver one!), NOT the power button which acts as a Go Back button

5) Down volume to "choose zip from sdcard", and camera button again

6) Down volume to "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" (I assume you already transferred this file or one similar to the SD card) and camera button again. At this point it should install and reboot.

7) Google apps should now be installed, or at least the Market, which will allow you to upgrade to Play store and install all the Google app goodness.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] koga73:
Installed PDAnet.

I found insanityrains post #24 worked for rooting the myTouch 3g slide running 2.2.1 after some other methods failed.

GargleSplat I ran into the same problem as you and your solution worked for me.

After I got cm7 installed I was seeing an error for "com.android.phone" closing unexpectedly every few seconds. I did a factory reset using recovery through hboot and this cleared up my problem.

All is working except whenever I slide the phone open everything on screen shifts to the right and the overflow wraps to the left. The flex ribbon has already been replaced once and the phone exhibited similar behavior before the old flex cable tore causing the screen to go black. I'm not sure if its a hardware problem or software problem.

This might be a little counter intuitive but if you're killing apps that are set to run as a service they will simply restart themselves and waste CPU cycles starting up when if you didn't touch them at all they'd be closer to idle.

Is there an easy way to root the official OTA? I want to remove some bloatware and flash the LG cam. The reason I'm on the stock official is because of the baseband which made a huge difference for me (and as far as I know, there's no other way to get it)

If I understand correctly, this will replace the Gingerbread camera with the Froyo camera. It doesn't sound like it's possible to have both on the phone at the same time -- is that right?

The reason I ask is that I'm really much happier with the way the Gingerbread camera works with the flash; the Froyo camera generally overexposed nearby things, but the new camera does a good job of regulating the flash and shutter. I'd like to have all the bells and whistles (that I haven't needed yet but might be handy someday) from the Froyo camera, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the improvement in flash photos (which is something I do pretty often).

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirSigma:
Okay, so the thing is I have an HTC Evo 4G with the following:

- The latest RC of CM7 (not a nightly or anything like that)

- A 3500mAh battery from Sedio

- Whatever default kernel comes with CM7

- A Sedio case made just for the extended battery

I like the Sedio case and everything, but I kind of want to use something else that looks better or feels better. That, and my current Sedio case is quite bulky and I could do with less of that bulk.

But the thing is I love the insane battery life the Sedio battery has given me. The 3500mAh is incredible and I can usually go about 4 days on a single charge and with moderate use. I don't really want to give up good battery life, but I want to get a different case for once that isn't so bulky.

Then I did some reading around and found out I can still get decent battery life after downgrading to a smaller battery if I use Juice Defender and pick the proper kernel. I've fallen back on my Galilio 2000mAh battery so the original snap-on back will fit on it again. I have Juice Defender Ultimate running on it, and the last thing I need now is a kernel.

Now, I'm somebody who hasn't switched around with kernels before, and even after reading the guides on kernels, I still would feel better if I could get opinions from other users regarding them. The guides are useful if only for helping me understand kernel terminology, what kernels are, and what they do, but as to which one is the best, it's not really quite obvious.

So that's why I'm going to ask: I've narrowed my choice down to 2 kernels I'm thinking of trying (I'm afraid of that SBC that supposedly messes up batteries or something): Tiamat and Savaged-Zen with no SBC, but I don't know which one is better for conserving battery since it isn't really that obvious at a glance. Which one is a better choice in your experience for CM7 when it comes to extending battery life as long as possible? In short, yeah, I need help picking since I'm a kernel noob. I would appreciate help or information, thanks in advance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blizzard1017:
Truthfully Tiamat and SZ are top notch kernels and will boil down to which one YOUR phone likes. For example, my phone didn't like SZ at all for some reason. Created some real issues.

As far as SBC, there isn't anything to worry about. Tiamat SBC more havs kernel is fantastic and I never had a problem. I was on an AOSP forever until the Synergy RC's came out.

Another thing you might want to look into are the undervolt scripts like ViperMod. I was running the 100mV one with the above and getting ridiculously solid battery life.

I didn't care for JuiceDefender myself, I didn't get anything better with it installed. I also didn't spend the time to tweak it probably how it should have been.
