[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
I'm confused. Your Senseless instructions say to use this mod, but your comment at the top here says not to use this.

Do we need to do the dd command for doubleshot to get senseless, or is this regarding something else?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
His new Senseless update is compatible with the new recovery. The note was there for the previous versions of Senseless.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
Do I need to install the doubleshot recovery per the instructions at the top for the Senseless install, or are those different parts?

Sorry, just trying to streamline this to a single set of steps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Directions are clear.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
If they were clear I wouldn't need to ask, would I?

I'm confused by the step 1 from your Senseless installation including so many other paths. It seems easy from that list, but am I installing this doubleshot recovery rom first, then installing the senseless rom, etc?

A clear list from stock to senseless would be nice, or at least confirmation that all steps on this thread are necessary before all steps on that thread.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
Steps:

1. Gain root and S-Off.

2. Install official Clockworkmod Recovery

3. Flash whatever ROMs are compatible with CWM Recovery of your choosing.

4. Profit?!!?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
Thanks. Is step 2 the bit about using dd in terminal? (steps 4-6 at the top of this thread) ?

I'm curious about this because the docs for clockworkmod seem to indicate you can do this within the Rom Manager application, without these manual steps? If not, and this is the only working method I can do -- just want to be clear.

Also, the thread which documents how to get temp root isn't working for me. I've found other comments that this doesn't work with Windows 64bit. Are there any better paths for Windows 64 machines?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
Look at the title of this thread.

There's more than one way to fry a fish.

I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit and didn't have any troubles. If you have trouble rooting, start there and post in the relevant thread. Don't jump ahead of yourself.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
I have root now, fwiw.

First question: your step #1 says "gain s-off" before we get to what's in this thread. However, most of the instructions I can find for S-OFF include flashing a rom of one sort or another. Given that the instructions for Senseless say not to use the Modaco roms, I'm struggling to find a method for enabling S-OFF.

...or is the instructions in the top of this thread for DD-installing the doubleshot recovery rom the bit that enables S-OFF? This is what I find so confusing. Most of the instructions out there tell us to flash this or that ROM as part of the steps, and it's not clear which steps should be ignored if I'm using senseless.

The final problem is that everything in the instructions is written in shorthand. For example, it says "download term emulator" -- there's no app by that name. Does he mean "Android Terminal Emulator" ?

Then he says "Using root explorer..." -- where do I find this? He doesn't mention downloading it, so...?

Yes, I know these are rookie questions and I'm sorry. But I'm a coder for a living, and I hesitate to do things for which the instructions aren't clear to me.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
According to this thread, you would have S-Off before attempting to put on any recovery. Not sure what directions you have been reading:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286324

Root explorer is a paid app.

If these directions are confusing, just use ROM Manager to download and flash the proper recovery. That's what I did. However, others have reported that ROM Manager gave some problems after the recovery was installed so Undead listed an alternative.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
So the only way I see to get S-OFF is the revolutionary.io method, which is tied to the modaco image that Undead said not to use, right? I mean, that's the same method listed in that URL above, and it talks about the modaco... or can I use the revolutionary tool and just skip applying that image?

Assuming that the above is true, I got revolutionary and ran it. I've done it 4 times now, and every time it installs everything, reboots to fastboot, says it's going to reboot to fastboot again but then immediately comes back with "Communications with the phone interrupted" complaint and bails.

I do have the HTC drivers installed, debugging enabled. Both SingleClick and TempWin/TempRoot methods give me root on the phone... but neither one does S-OFF afaik, so this is where I'm hung up.

And yes, I'd be fine using the ROM Manager to install the mod. I've actually done this a few times, but it doesn't take -- I assume because of the lack of S-OFF.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
You're supposed to have S-Off before flashing any recoveries. If you don't have S-Off yet, then you can't do anything else. Go back to the S-Off thread and follow the directions. You can upgrade to the latest CWM recovery from this thread once you did everything in the other one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
I guess you missed the part where I said:

Assuming that the above is true, I got revolutionary and ran it. I've done it 4 times now, and every time it installs everything, reboots to fastboot, says it's going to reboot to fastboot again but then immediately comes back with "Communications with the phone interrupted" complaint and bails. (the phone stays in the first fastboot)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Stryder5:
Post in whatever thread you're following then. This is for recovery, not getting S-Off. Alternatively try this thread if you haven't done so already: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192383
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
These two threads are essentially the same. They both have you run the exact same program (I diffed them and they are the same binaries) and it fails exactly the same way, even when I follow their steps to the letter.

But yes, I posted on one of those threads :(

After I get S-OFF, you are saying I should be able to install the recovery image using the ROM manager, then reboot and install the Senseless Zip yeah?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
just do everything the revolutionary method says to do, including installing the crappy recovery..then get the official recovery from rom manager. Follow this video...it worked for me on 2 mytouch 4g slides....even my newb boyfriend could do it.

http://theunlockr.com/2011/09/09/ho...mobile-mytouch-4g-slide-revolutionary-method/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
Like I said above, it's not getting that far. When it attempts the second boot to fastboot, it fails one second later. Every time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Run revolutionary again.

It will ask you to install cwm type Y.

Download root from revolutionarys site.

Go into recovery back up and install zip from sd card" the file you downloaded.

Once rooted get rom manager and flash the newest CWM recovery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jorhett:
It never gets far enough to ask me about installing cwm. It goes into fastboot, then says fastboot again and then fails. The phone goes into fastboot the first time, but doesn't the second.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChristoA1:
Ummm, what just happened?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] the_scotsman:
Undeadk9 is TeamPokerFace...he was permanently banned many months ago by myself for kanging and various other issues.

Seems he returned...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChristoA1:
Is there any way we can vote him back in? He's the main ROM dev for the MT4GS :/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] the_scotsman:
I'll speak with the admin, but he was banned previously for a reason.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChristoA1:
Much appreciated... Hopefully it can all be sorted out... Our device is pretty much useless without him right now...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Droidmoder:
Even if he maybe teampokerface. Which isn't even confirmed and is a rumor in my opinion.

I think he improved on his ethics. He gives credit when credit is due and is basiclly the backbone of the mt4g slide roms. I don't see anything wrong with undeadk9 and I think its quite a fallacy to think he may be a puppet.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] the_scotsman:
:rolleyes:

You really think we don't have the tools available to identify these puppet accounts?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Anyone could find out for sure. Its not hard . . . I am 15 and could find out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] michaelmab88:
That's not the issue... Without him, this mt4gs forum wouldn't have gotten anywhere. I vote to let him stay under his current alias so long as rules aren't being broken.

Well... Paul o. and kornyone made more important contributions imho, but they haven't participated as much in the forums. Regardless, he hasn't really caused much trouble here for us..
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
The heart and soul of XDA is to do things yourself, and learn how to do exactly the things he was doing.

If you come here dependent upon others to do the work for you, then you are really here for the wrong reasons.

I also hope things can be sorted out and he can be allowed to participate here again, but development of the phone doesn't stop with one mans absence.

There are other people who have and are working hard to make things happen for this device, and there is no reason why any person who comes here can't contribute their own works.

If you can post on this BBS, there is no reason why you can't develop - all the tools, resources and people who will help you learn are spread out over XDA...again, literally the point of it's existence.

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 AM ----------

That kinda stings, and i'm sure others who have been pouring a lot of time into the MT4GS forums would feel the same.

It takes contributions from everyone to make this place work, and not everyone is a rockstar - but other people have been putting a lot of time, effort and energy into this place as well.

Maybe you could spend some time helping to push development forward as well?

Not trying to pick a fight or be a credit whore, but pushing the device forward is a community effort and it will take all of us helping in ways big or small to keep moving along.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] duckied:
I'll vote to have undeadk9 back, he a great guy and always willing to help others. Kinda be sad if he won't be coming back.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] duckied:
I and hopefully other agrees with me appreciate every devs on this forum, we don't mean to offend you blue6IX and there is no rockstar its just undeadk9 put himself out there more which is why you see these respond to his leave

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] itsslae:
Im a noob so I don't know what im doing, but I got s-off and had cwm modaco installed and wanted to flash senseless so i tried to update my cwm. Which I did through rom manager seemed like it work perfectly but cant backup current stock rom and notice the sd card doesnt mount in recovery mode so I wasnt able to flash any custom roms. Then I tried using terminal emulator and enter in the if:/data/local/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.7...... and so on, it went through but still same issue not able to mount sd in recovery. Am I suppose to go back to the older version before trying to use the terminal emulator steps? If so how do I downgrade cwm? The rest of the phone seems to be ok but want cwm to work correctly so i can get off this stock rom. Someone please help.

I read through the other post seems at least one other person had the same problem. Please help
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ChristoA1:
At the bottom of ROM manager, there is an option to install other versions of CWM Recovery... See if this is any help? I don't have mine at the moment to try, but hopefully that points you in the right direction...
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:

I've cleared the data under Settings>Applications>Market numerous times, uninstalled updates, etc. Any ideas? All the searches i've found just say to do what i've already done...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:

Download and install ROM Toolbox and fix permissions
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
If that doesn't work try out the new version that was just released, seems to be a little better on mine. Hopefully you get it fixed
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
I must be blind, but I don't see fix permissions anywhere in rom toolbox. I've seen it in CWM and Rom Manager before though. I may try the new market if I feel froggy, but it's getting dangerously close to le zonk time for me.

I ran fix permissions from rom manager and tried the new market. No luck. I really don't wanna wipe this thing. It may have broken when I modified for wifi tethering. I can't remember when it started
[Motorola Atrix 2] sdlopez83:
Im on atrix 4g and it hasn't been working since 6pm today. Just blank screen and at 12 my market updated. On the new market when I go to my apps it says your apps will show here.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cheetablaze:
I had the same problem with my Samsung captivate. I had to use the app brain market to push all the updates. I'll go check my atrix 2, hopefully I'm not once again plagued with that bug.
[Motorola Atrix 2] bimmerd00d:
Ok so i wiped everything (after backing up of course), and am trying again.

1) Works unrooted, fresh out of the box. "My Apps" shows a few apps i have paid for but not installed.

2) Market updates itself, now "My Apps" empty.

3) Double checked, installed Angry Birds, backed out and still nothing.

Thoughts? Also, last night I tried the latest Market that was posted on Androidpolice and it did the same thing. I do NOT want to use Appbrain.

Hmm, I've been on the Market a few times and i'm still on v3.1.5....not complaining, just an observation. I dunno man, sounds kinda funky to me.
[Motorola Atrix 2] mariol66:
Go to settings. Manage applications. Find market and press uninstall updates. Fixed the market problems for me
[Motorola Atrix 2] svtfmook:
i had this problem on a certain rom on my x10. clearing cache AND data in settings > apps > market worked for me. you may need to also clear cache partition or dalvik cache as well to make it work.

try using this to clear cache, clear dalvik after clearing data and cache from market under settings. reboot. see if that helps.

Well Sh*t. Oh well ill still give it a go I guess.

[Droid Incredible General] dirtsky:
Ill have to get the kernel source and see what I can do.

Sent from my Incredibly awesome Droid Incredible.
[Droid Incredible General] hachamacha:
Thanks for adding this howto, wildstang -

I really appreciate it. I just for the first time in a year+ went from my old rooted inc to this home-brewed self-compiled (I added cifs & tun built into the kernel) and installed it. I'd just tried the insensitive ROM as well and this helped things quite a lot due to cifs & tun. I also set the clock to a not-very-aggressive 1075000 which works fine on my inc.

Much appreciated and good guide.

edit: I forgot to mention that in general and here as well, you can 'brand' your kernel so you're sure you've really installed it and it is running on your phone by checking the firmware revs in about-phone. To do that, just edit Makefile and I think it is called Extra (under Version) which is as it is set to .13, so I set that in my case to .13-cifs-tun-cust, and it shows on my phone. It is useful in case you forget to zip the file up or something.

In this open source community, can you blame people that use your property (without asking your permission first intentionally or not) and tweaking it to suit hiw own needs then distributing it for free without asking for donation, as a thieve?

Yes, you still can since he is using it WITHOUT your permission. But isn't is a bit unethical when you did not contribute any significant effort (your own creation)to the community but yet you quite openly charging people as thieve and flaming hatred among others?

What's great about the open source is support among the community. The guy that blamed here is a 15 year old boy who just tried to make his X8 works better and share it with others. It is quite rare to see kid into this arena while others are into justin beiber. Sure he got talent in him and all he need now is support from you guys, the seniors. You can teach ethics but talent and genius are hard to come by.
