dd if=/data/local/doubleshot.clockworkmod.4.0.0.9.modaco.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21

Type this with no quotes before or after, and make sure the file names match.

It sounds like the file names don't match, or that you are putting ' before and ' after the line, type it in without any quotations anywhere.

Sorry about the jinx!

Let me know if this was your issue, if not i'm sure we'll get you straightened out.

Use ROOT EXPLORER to place the recovery IMG file into /data/local before executing that command in terminal.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mr.e.ferran:
no dice guys. I can't figure this out. i took out the 'before and after' and it just won't shake. I just spent my $3.99 on ROOT EXPLORER and did everything again and no luck. is there a dedicated thread for this somewhere that i can study?

edit:the terminal emulator is capitalizing the "if" into "If" and it's saying "unknown operand" I've tried using the terminal emulator and android emulator and still nothing! Hell rooting and flashing the CWM was pretty damn easy but this is driving me nuts! I appreciate the help
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ratchetrizzo:
get the android sdk and learn adb.

Actually, if you get the android sdk and install that you can boot your phone in fastboot mode then use "fastboot flash recovery clockwork.img" (or whatever your recovery image is).

You don't have to worry about mistyping anything with a dd command and destroying a partition.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yep, there's your problem.

I had that issue in terminal emulator too - it kept trying to capitalize the "I" in "if".

Try going back and changing it after you type the line in, I had to do that a few times before it would stay lowercase.

I think I also went somewhere in the phone and turned off auto capitalization - i'm going to track that down and find it for you.

Also, make sure the first command you type in terminal is "su" (no quotes) to give you superuser permissions for the terminal session.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Try this:

In terminal emulator, hit the hardware options button. (next to the home button at the bottom of your screen)

Then choose "preferences"

Scroll down to keyboard, select "input method"

Change it from "Character based" to "word based"

It shouldn't auto-capitalize now - which is important to get the command in the right way.

let me know how this works out, i'm gonna keep trying to work your problem until we solve it. I'm sure this will help others too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] mr.e.ferran:
BLUE!!!

you are frickin' awesome! i went into settings and changed the auto-caps feature and change into word mode in the terminal and it worked! awesome. This makes up for the Jinx!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Fantastic!

I'm glad that you're straightened out now, and up to date on CWM.

Anyone following behind can read through this and see how to solve this issue too, if needed.

You won't regret the purchase of Root Explorer, it's absolutely worth having.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
I talked to the dev who made the MT4GS additons for Revolution (IEF), aside from him saying that he couldn't understand how anyone would let their phone hit zero, because it would be stupid... He says that while it acts oddly when trying to power on and the LED doesn't function properly, the phone is actually still charging.

Testing this myself I found that the phone is not actually frozen anyway, as it responds to adb commands.

4.0.0.9 doesn't seem to have the *apparent* lockup, so it is more convenient, but in theory, we should have nothing to worry about.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] pmcqueen:
are you serious?

that is the most ridiculous explanation for a bug I have ever heard... "well, it's your fault you're stupid and you let your battery die, so I'm not really going to address the issue." these phones (smartphones) mow through battery.. sometimes it catches you off guard and your battery is dead before you even knew what happened. that has nothing to do with stupidity, it's just the nature of a device like this.

(note: I'm not discounting any of the work Revolutionary has done as it is much appreciated... but come on, that is flat out idiotic.)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Aeikozz:
I get what they mean though.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nbetcher:
Actually, that's not what what I said, nor what I meant. IEF from Revolutionary takes the charging bug VERY seriously and wrote a ton of code to address the issue. The charging bug may simply only affect the device's ability to report the charging STATUS when "off." I'm still unclear on the subject, but my device had some odd issues when my battery went dead (I may have just needed to wait, but instead I put in my old battery).

I did see the code for charging when off/recovery (in attempt to help debug an issue) and I did not see anything that would prevent the phone from charging itself since the code crashes only after setting the charging mode.

At the moment I would consider the charging issue to be non-critical until I get a report of someone being unable to charge their device when off (at which point it will become extremely critical).

Finally, I do know all of the Revolutionary people well enough to be a judge of their characters and you have nothing to worry about... they are not lacking on common sense or priorities. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I will add to that to say that I ran my battery completely dead on this device once, and tried to turn it on without charging first.

When I plugged it in, I immediately tried to turn it on, and the splash screen loaded off-center, most of my screen was black. I turned it off as soon as it booted, then tried again. It loaded up and said "no sim card inserted" and so I powered off once more.

On the third boot, everything went well. All told, this was significantly less then a minute, somewhere in the 40-ish second range.

I would venture to guess you did need to wait, and somewhere in one of these threads I bolded a statement where I said to wait at least 30 seconds after plugging in to AC before powering on the phone if you drain the battery completely.

There isn't enough juice in a completely dead battery, even passing through AC current to properly power the hardware in the phone. If you experienced something akin to the whacked out stuff I saw on the device, it was from a brownout in the circuitry and had nothing to do with the programming on the device.

A completely dead battery of the type that's in the phone has not only been damaged, but is incapable of passing electricity through itself to the phone at the rate needed for the phone to operate itself. Funky stuff will happen, and it has nothing to do with the devs.

I was curious, and wanted to know, so I did. I did this on the first one of these I got, and after that experience I took it back to T-Mobile and exchanged it for a new one. I walked in and said it was acting funky, the only question they asked me was if I wanted to stay in my contract. When I said yea, they simply started processing my exchange without any further questions - so my assumption was they cared more about my contract then the piece of hardware I had in my hands.

The phone i'm on now is my second one, and i've run the battery completely dead after flashing CWM 4.0.0.9 - since I wiped my battery stats file I wanted it to go from full to empty. I learned my lesson and let it charge for almost a full minute before turning it on after depleting it, and it was not a problem.

I can confirm that it is in fact charging, and will bring a stock battery from depleted to full charge in the phone with CWM 4.0.0.9

I just installed an Anker (1900) battery yesterday, and it's almost run down again now. I've gotten a solid 9 hours out of playing with it and i'm down to 30% battery life, but i'm gonna let this one hit deplete too. I restored my first CWM backup after root, wiped the battery stats, then powered down and put this battery in.

I'm not worried about it not charging now, since the new battery came with a wall charger, but having proven to myself that CWM 4.0.0.9 will bring a battery from dead nothing back to a full charge through the phone, i'd say it's nothing to worry about.

Knowing that the awesome devs who made this all possible are still working on making it right is fantastic news, but in the meantime, no one is going to end up with a dead battery they can't charge in the phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OmsagroSylph:
To expand upon this. Per what I was told earlier, you should also be fine charging on 4.0.0.8. Itjust acts a bit awkward.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Hey, just a friendly suggestion that may help people out:

If you approach this S-OFF/Root process like this:

00 - Backup all phone data to somewhere off the phone itself.

01 - Factory reset phone, power down.

02 - Remove microsd card, format in computer.

03 - re-insert microsd card in phone, power on.

04 - Set up your Gmail account, enable the Market on your phone.

05 - S-OFF (if necessary), installing CWM 4.0.0.9 and Rooting your phone.

06 - Installing Busybox and Root Checker, verifying that both root and busybox are obtained/available on your phone.

07 - Uninstalling Busybox installer, checking Busybox installation in Root Checker again, then uninstalling Root Checker.

08 - Power down your phone, and boot into recovery mode.

09 - Make a CWM backup of your system in recovery, then rebooting your phone.

10 - Making a copy of the CWM backup to another place, like your computer.

...then you can always restore to a clean CWM backup from right after you got Root & Busybox on your phone, in the cleanest ready state it can be.

This might help some people in the future who may have messed around with their phones before S-OFF/Root and help keep them running smooth.

This is the way I did it, and I can't tell you how many times so far i've restored to that original backup right after root so I could start over. I've been playing around with it removing different stuff, deleting this or that, trying to break it (software-wise) and always able to just reset and start fresh.

If people in the future coming through here read through the thread first, before diving into this, hopefully they will come across this posting and consider the merits of doing it this way.

Step 5 is where you would refer to the original posting in this thread and follow the instructions laid out by nbetcher.

Feel free to agree with / add to / disagree with / offer advice about anything i've written here, if I missed something that could be better definitely point it out for others.

Have fun!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] paulains:
I purchased this phone at full price from T-Mobile, and then tried the same (got S-OFF and also changed the CID) and was unsuccessful at using my AT&T SIM card. I finally had to just purchase the subsidy unlock code online and I could then use my SIM.

Unfortunately I then found out that I can only get 2G speeds with this phone on AT&T (with whom I'm in a contract) due to T-Mobile and AT&T using different bands for >2G, and that this correlation is probably built into the phone's hardware. As much as I love this phone so far, that is much too crippling. So now I need to figure out how to undo as much as possible for return.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
So I have posted my homescreen in this forum and google plus and some people have been asking for the tiles (icons) I am using. So I made a 7zip file and attached it here with the tiles (icons) I am using. These were all made by me....with stock photos of course :p with some minor (if any) tweaks.

These tiles are designed for use with Launcher 7 Pro. If I make more I will post them in this thread.

Enjoy! :cool:

preview image tiles are in the .7z file below

and here's pack #2

preview image tiles are in the .7z below

pack #3 now available

preview image tiles are in the .7z below

pack #4 now available

preview image tiles are in the .7z below

Tutorial time: by bryman27

1. Download Launcher 7 from the market. Free or Donate.

2. Download one or more of the packs attached in the OP to your computer. Open the downloaded file(s) with 7-zip or any other utility that can open 7z files.

Copy the images inside the 7z file(s) to your phone with whatever method you prefer. Mount the sdcard back to your phone if it was mounted to your computer.

3. Open Launcher 7 by pressing the home button then choosing Launcher 7.

If that doesn't work, go to settings -> applications -> manage applications -> [your current launcher] -> clear defaults, then try again.

How to add a themed tile:

Pin the tile you want by tapping the arrow in the top right and long-pressing the app you want to pin and choosing "Pin to home screen".

Tap "Title" and delete everything in it.

Then tap "Tile size" and choose the size of your icon (the sizes are in the file names).

Then tap "Icon" and choose "Custom icon".

Then tap "Custom icon options". Set "Bitmap type" to "Bitmap from SD card".

Then tap "Select image from SD card" and find the image you want to use (if you are using the gallery to pick it and you don't see it, you might have to use an app like Rescan Media or just reboot).

Then press your device's back button.

Then tap "Extra options" and choose "Full-tile bitmap (1x1 only)" if you chose 1x1 tile for the tile size. This makes the image fill the entire tile area, but makes you lose missed call counts and unread message counts. (You don't need to choose this option, but it makes it look better. You can change it later if you need the counters.)

Then tap "Click to add tile".

How to choose a custom icon for a tile that is already pinned:

Long-press the tile you want to edit.

Tap the pencil in the top left of the tile.

Delete everything in the "Title" field.

Choose Custom icon in the "Icon" field.

Tap "Select image from SD card" and pick your desired icon. (if you are using the gallery to pick it and you don't see it, you might have to use an app like Rescan Media or just reboot)

Tap "Tile options" and choose "Full-tile bitmap (1x1 only)" if you chose 1x1 tile for the tile size. This makes the image fill the entire tile area, but makes you lose missed call counts and unread message counts. (You don't need to choose this option, but it makes it look better. You can change it later if you need the counters.)

Tap "Modify tile".

I think that's pretty noob proof... but we'll see :D

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Alexander243:
Wow! Simply Amazing.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bethanensinger:
are these tiles compatible with desktop visualizer that way it dont have to switch all my stuff to launcher7pro
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
I don't know. I have never used desktop visualizer. These were made specifically for L7Pro.

If you test them out on desktop visualizer let me know if they work or not. :cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mjs2011:
Hi these are great. I'm confused about the download though. How do I open or unzip the pack?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
it's a .7z file not a regular .zip file

you need to install 7zip and use that.

http://www.7-zip.org/

it's free and what alot of xda devs use instead of winzip

glad you like the tiles! Enjoy!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
I should also probably mention you should unzip them to your desktop then plug your phone in via USB, mount the phone and create a WP7Icon folder on your SD card. Move the unzipped files to that folder and then the files should show up in your gallery in the folder you created.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
So I am getting some requests on how I did my setup for Launcher 7.

It's really not hard at all. Just time consuming. And it's hard to type up what I did so I think if I have time this week I will try and make a tut video on how I did my setup.

Bear with me as I have never done a tut video so it will be new to me. LOL :p
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bryman27:
I didn't see a pandora one so I made my own. I made a 2x1, but then decided I'd rather use a 1x1 so here's both. Original image is here

[Captivate Themes and Apps] intheb0x:
So how can we get the count on this tiles?

we cant?

because in order to get them to fill the whole tile we need to do options as fill and not display count??
[Captivate Themes and Apps] intheb0x:
i got simi to work well under 4x1.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
I'm not understanding the question.... :confused:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ray777:
Great tiles Mortem Tuam, really special.

You specified all your widgets and all but i think you skipped one, the calendar/task widget, which one is that? Looks great.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
thanks :cool:

the calendar task widget is Anton Calendar Widget

https://market.android.com/details?id=de.antonwolf.agendawidget&feature=search_result

sorry I omitted that :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] BitteredBro:
Same question. In order to get the image to fill the tile, you got to check the corresponding option. But, if you do that, you can't select the option to display the item counter (lost calls, sms received, etc.) Its there a way to get both working? Maybe the question should be asked to the developer of launcher 7... But if you (or someone) know the answer would be great.

Great work by the way. Those tiles you did look amazing!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
thanks :cool:

now I get the question...you're asking about notifications on the tiles....

yes, this question should be directed to the developer. I hadn't really worried about notifications as I just use the pull down and don't like notifications on my icons anyway.

Sorry I can't help. Glad you guys are enjoying the tiles. :cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] speedfreak228:
could i please get the psd for the tiles so i can make some that i need? the ones you made that i need are great thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
well if you have photoshop all you got to do is make your own with the dimensions of

186x186 = 1x1

186x385 = 1x2

385x186 = 2x1

then layer on whatever your heart desires. :cool:

very simple really, much easier than actual icons.

I haven't done a whole lot to the stock pics I used....minor tweaks here and there.

So give it a shot. :cool::cool:

I'm not at my home PC where my files are....but really it's not hard at all.

The hardest part is finding a photo that expresses the application you are making a tile for.

I choose not to use the logos except for a few, because I wanted a classy elegant look.

have fun!:cool:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] speedfreak228:
i made my own psd, but thanks. what font did you use?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
I use the Windows 7 Phone font

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
Hi folks!

Just a quick update. I am really missing doing wallpapers and icons and more for this wonderful xda community. I know I have been in and out for the past few months. And I just want to let you know why.

Currently I am trying to find a job that will provide me with better pay to support my family. Some of you might know that my wife was let go from her job which leaves me the only bread winner. I have three kids to care for and I need to be more active in finding a better job.

Anyway. I just felt I owed you guys an explanation for my extreme drop off in walls and other things.

I appreciate everyone's support for my work and thank you all for everything.

This doesn't mean I am done. I'm just letting you know I may not be around as much as usual. But some days you may get tired of me LOL....depends on how the job hunt is going.

Thanks a bunch!

Mortem Tuam

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Futur Innovations:
Could you post the icon packs as zips so that I (or we for other people) can simply unzip on my phone and move all the pics into one folder? Unless there is a 7zip app for android :P I don't mean to be a pain. Lol
[Captivate Themes and Apps] erad1:
Try androzip....works for me!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Futur Innovations:

can't find lockscreen wallpaper :(

Hey Mortem Tuam :D

I saw your setup on lifehacker and absolutely fell in love with it! I really really like the lockscreen wallpaper, and tried to find it on your site, but to no avail :(

Could you post/direct me to it please

Much love, and love the tiles!!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mortem Tuam:
thanks:cool:

yeah that was a custom I never posted anywhere else.

I will post it here later when I get home from work, it's on my machine at home.

It's not a scrollable wallpaper though, I made it for the lockscreen itself and used Widget Locker.
