Yeah, I saw that they pulled the update. I'm hoping they did it to fix the bootloader unlocking problem.... it wouldn't seem that there is anything seriously wrong with the update, since it is running beautifully otherwise :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Nothing too crazy... Mostly remove TONS of bloat and apps... pretty much anything that won't crash the phone I've uninstalled, then went through and replaced most of the functional apps. I'll list what I've replaced below.

Rosie Launcher replaced with GoLauncher

Sense Lockscreen replaced with WidgetLocker

HTC Messaging app replaced with GoSMS

HTC Weather app replaced with BeWeather

HTC Browser replaced with Miren Browser

PicoTTS replaced with SVOX Classic (Grace)

HTC Music replaced with Spotify/Winamp

Also applied my own Splash and Boot/Shutdown Animations. And made genius button a search button. :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
That's cool, that's nothing too crazy I guess, but it's practically a custom ROM. Lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
Yeah, I don't get it...

I rooted and [lightly] de-bloated my OTA build; based on the above list dansl might as well flash one of Undead's roms.

It takes all kinds... ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dansl:
Ha, i guess it is quite an overhaul... But a lot of the other roms do a lot of changes in the framework and seem to cause instability, I've kept mine minor and have never had any issues or crashes. :P
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
That makes sense :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] billwinkle:
It worked for me. I had to use the trackball to use the recovery options. When I would press the power button I would get

Thank you OP you saved my phone.

I'm on the last step to unlock my bootloader but for some reason the unlock bootloader disclaimer isn't showing up on my phone and I've done everything on my command prompt correct. Can anyone help me?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Yep, we're all having that problem. I actually just got a call back from HTC about the issue, and they said they're working on it and to try again in 7-10 days. If it still doesn't work, the issue will be escalated to the bootloader team.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] wellingtonarmelin:
Ok thank you so much I've been trying to fix this since last night

Just got my phone and im stuck on this out of the box.. i am still s-on... is there any hope... i cant find what to do... MT$ was easy, but I am stuck here
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
if you just got your phone brand new outta the box, chances are you can still turn S-OFF and root. please tell us your software number(settiings/about phone/software number), or HBOOT version.

edit: if you are S-ON with the software version mentioned in the title of this thread, then you are stuck for now, unfortunately.

1.45.0013 hboot
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
oops, yeah, your phone was updated somehow to the last ota. not much you can do at the moment, but stay tuned until that HBOOT is cracked or something, people are working on things. also keep an eye on the HTC Bootloader unlocker, which will hopefully be fixed to work as it's supposed to.

Just my luck... Brand new phone that cant use my apps

I was originally gonna mention this on the hboot thread I started but this thread seems more appropriate. First take a gander at this link from G2 forums

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831398

Then, let me mention that misc.img block parition on G2 is mmcblk0p17 but as for the htc doubleshot, the misc.img is located on mmcblk0p16. Try opening terminal emulator and running this command

hexdump -C /dev/block/mmcblk0p16

Try using adapting the instructions from that link to the doubleshot and then using the official signed PG90.zip (or w/e the )

EDIT:

I realized via tbalden's thread that mmcblk0p31 contains exact same hex dump as mmcblk0p16. Anybody know anything about this?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
I found TacoRoot really interesting, it also seems to provide a way to work with misc.version:

https://github.com/CunningLogic/TacoRoot

I haven't heard of anyone successfully doing it, haha, and it might not be for the faint of heart, since it probably puts your device in a bootloop before you downgrade it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] izzy001:
I was not successful at downgrading. Although I was successful at using tacoroot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
dang, ok. so if you couldn't downgrade, did you gain anything from running TacoRoot?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] izzy001:
Well you get root permissions but you cant add anything due to nand lock
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] thrice43:
https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod

http://tjworld.net/wiki/Android/HTC/Vision

Thats what people should be reading about. To write to /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 from an s-on device to obtain s-off, the kernel needs to be insmod'ed with a cross compiled module. The above github was for g2 for if source can be modified for doubleshot, it could work.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nlarge:
Is it really this hard? Most phones are cracked for root before they hit the street... Did tmobile successfully lock it down finally?.... Id be happy to roll back ota if there was a way... Hate that phone shipped with is OS

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
did the unlocker work all the way to the end? did the splash screen show up on your phone and does your HBOOT say UNLOCKED at the top? we have been waiting on HTC to fix this up.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
nope, no news. have you tried the HTC unlocker? if you have and it didn't work, keep an eye out for some kind of fix from HTC, hopefully by the end of the month.

otherwise, keep an eye on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1502157. it is a POSSIBLE way to downgrade and root, but it has NOT yet been tested on an S-ON device.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I found this PG59IMG.zip that is a leaked version of the 1.55.531.3 OTA as a full, fresh install to play with earlier:

From Leaked ROM 1.55.531.3 / Radio 11.59.3504.00_11.16.3504.20_2: (PG59IMG.zip)

- Leaked HTC Android ROMs - Thanks again football!

To find, go to the page, thank football, and look under Generic Releases Click that link and you will find it.

This is the same as using our return to retail stock PG59IMG.zip file.

yogi2010 has already successfully flashed it and reported that the HTC unlock tool works on this version.

Now we just have to figure out how to get it to install for people already on the update - i'm gonna go make dinner and see my lady for a bit - but - when I get back that's what i'll jump on - it leads to the S-ON to S-OFF issue anyways because if we can get this to flash for people on it currently then we are one step closer to effecting a downgrade-to-S-OFF option.

Exciting day!!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] raycaster3:
This was smooth as butter. My wife did the ota the other day and I used revolutionary to s-off and tried to flash su after making a backup and it never gained root. As soon as I flashed the MoDaCo recovery and flashed su (took 3 tries mind you, but it did that for sensation and SGH-T989) rebooted and opened root explorer and..... voila! Thanks for the hookup.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
UPDATE!

it has been confirmed that the new factory stock PG59IMG.zip, which makes the HTC Unlock tool work, can be flashed even if you are S-ON. So, nobody is completely stuck anymore, everyone at least has access to the HTC unlock tool. for instructions on how to do this, go here:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
Worked for me as well. I'm now S-OFF and bootloader unlocked. Woohoo!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
yeah same here- unlocked and insecure as can be, hahaha.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Hotshot205:
So this unlocked the bootloader? Gain root? And if you was S-ON made it S-OFF?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] darktek:
You were S ON before?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
no, sorry guys- we were both S-OFF already before. the HTC tool will not put S-OFF from S-ON. i was joking around but maybe i shhould change my post to avoid confusion... sorry ;)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
What Yogi said. I've had S-OFF for a very long while and, after getting tired of the insane battery drain on the CM7 Alpha build, I decided to revert to a rooted OTA rom. This reversion process, however, left my device S-OFF with a locked bootloader -- and the HTC unlock tool would fail in this situation.

I was able to work around this, of course, but with the new *full* OTA-based img I was finally able to get the bootloader fully unlocked. So now the device is S-OFF *and* bootloader unlocked.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
S-off is coming. No ETA yet. Meantime, people S-ON can now use the unlock method through HTC to gain some control over their devices now that we have a working copy of their OTA.

You will be able to root, custom recovery and install ROMs. Some restrictions apply like changing radio and a few others, but we'll get it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Hotshot205:
Thanks I might give this a shot this week.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
Im not able to install cm7 on my device, im unlocked through htc. I read somewhere that other roms won't work unless im s-off
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Hmm, it wouldn't install, or it flashed but wouldn't run properly? Did you flash the boot image separately thru fastboot, as described in Limewirelord's thread at the top of the dev. section(how to flash ICS ROMs on the new OTA)?

Even tho CM7 isn't ICS, it does use a different kernel than the stock Sense ROM, so flashing the kernel separately would be vital. HTC unlock doesn't allow flashing the kernel thru recovery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
It installed but when i got the install complete, i restarted the phone and it just stayed at the mytouch 4g slide screen where it says tmobile. I did all of this through cwm. So i guess right now i can't boot cm7 since im *unlocked*?, also if i relock the bootloader and get s-off when its available for hboot 1.45 will i be able to try cm7 then?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
honestly i would try flashing the boot image and then the ROM, as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508556.

i think that should work, but if it doesn't, then you will know you can't use CM7 at the present time.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
FYI: http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3045
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Yep, thanks for the link. Unfortunately it doesn't look like a whole lot to look forward to- it's the same software version, they probably just fixed the bootloader issue and a few other little bugs(I noticed an issue with synching Twitter friends on the ota, but wasn't sure if it was just me). Other than that it looks like simply the same ota, but fixed up.... hopefully I'm wrong!

edit: actually they must have changed this since i last looked a couple days ago, but they are bumping the software version up to 1.63.531.2. still however, it mainly looks like the previous ota but with the little things fixed up.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
Yeah, there's also a bug with the Gallery -- it sporadically force closes without any rhyme or reason.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
Ah, I hadn't noticed that one. Another small bug I do notice is the graphics/animation missing from the big weather widget, in landscape mode, lol. I sorta fixed that by substituting in the big weather widget from the previous ROM version..... the graphics came back, but the days for the projected forecast seemed to be off!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Which ROM are you referring to? I'm running the DS_MOD.1.55.531.3 ROM and I have the graphics/animation in landscape (when sliding the keyboard out) and I also have not had any FCs in the gallery, or elsewhere. This has been a very stable ROM for me.

I am interested to learn the changes from it to the newer ROM coming tomorrow. I hope someone will be able to release a rooted, deodexed version of it soon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
i was referring to the pure stock ROM, if you got there via the OTA package. funny thing is, DS_MOS i believe was made from a nandroid image of that ROM made by Blue6IX, and he said that bug was present as well..... so maybe deodexing the apk fixed it?

in any case, assuming HTC doesn't lock us out again(which they shouldn't, since the bootloader unlocker issue was one of the bugs to be addressed in this revised ota), someone should be able to make a rooted and deodexed version pretty quickly. And of course we know now that anyone with S-OFF can update and root immediately, regardless of whether the unlocker works :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Fuzi0719:
Yeah, I'm S-OFF via Revolutionary, I have the "good" HBOOT. I did not flash the updated radio that was released with the 1.55.531.3 ROM, it seemed to have way too many issues from what I read.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] HebrewToYou:
The radio is just fine as long as you use it with the kernel it was built for...

I haven't seen any posts about this over here in XDA, so I thought people might want to know and give it a try. I read in a post in the TP forum of android central about a possible WiFi fix. It's a patch in preware. I didn't have too many problems with WiFi before, other than poor signal strength, But this is supposed to help other problems as well.

I installed the patch from preware and so far, so good. Hard to say if it is better, but I can easily unpatch it, so give it a try.

That would be correct. WiFi uses the GSM network and not the 4G. You may not want to turn off the WiFi to keep your data usage in check. When you leave the WiFi area it will revert back to the 4G network and the use 2G will be unchecked.

Just wondering what some of you use to post replies or new posts via your android phone? Is there an app on the market that will allow me to log into forums that I visit and easily browse and post to threads? This forum is certainly one of them I would like easy access to from my phone. Any apps or suggestions instead of actually browsing the site via the web browser?

I see an app called tapatalk that appears to work but don't know much about it and is not free. Don't want to purchase it if it will not work.

I see xda has a market app for this but scared to install based on the comments I see from users.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I think my point is to have similar threads consolidated. Only a senseless __ like you would think it's "easier to find" when you have 4 different threads of the same topic.

Need help getting WIFI tether up and running again.

Before I was running stock ROM and kernel, only rooted. Had Barnacle WIFI tether app and it worked perfectly.

Being a mac user, i didn't want to have to deal with all the extras to re-root phone after last update, and android 2.2.3 was not treating my OG Droid right, so I upgraded to Cyanogen Mod.

However, Cyanogen mod does not support WIFI tether, or wired tether to macs. I want to keep the ROM because it is sweet, but I would like to be able to stream data to my laptop again.

Other forums have suggested other kernels (like AdamZ's low voltage kernel) that may play nice with Cyanogenmod. However, I can't find a good link to some of these.

Help please, or suggest a good stable ROM that allows WIFI tethering.

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded WIFI tether from the market and it works.:D

Barnacle still doesn't work though. It goes through all the motions like it is going to work, but none of my other computers can see it. Either my phone no longer likes it, or it's something buried deep in the settings.

I wonder if it has something to do with running the App while I still had the Stock ROM installed?
