First off: Thanks are due across the board, as well as to the man who made the .exe Noob-proof app it helped a little bit and worked great

Second: Okay.. I recieved a warranty replacement..new HBoot. following this guide I did all required.

UPON using fastboot command to boot the boot.img it reboots and starts to boot up PyroIce 1.1.2..... which you say isnt right since i need to flash the ROM again in Recovery..

If i Do that it wont boot again and hangs on the MT4GS splash screen, i think it is actually due to the fact that i also flash the adreno drivers patch, but i am not going to try and tinker with it.

bottom line, working... thanks so much guys :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
I've seen that boot.img is where the kernels are, and I've seen that to flash an ICS ROM in that thread that in order to flash an ICS ROM on a MT4GS you need to flash a kernel after the ROM, in the form of a boot.img.

So I'll say, hesitantly, "yes".

Unless, of course, you meant something else. That, or, I misunderstood something somewhere...

---------- Post added at 08:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

I don't know about the dot-exe but I'll agree nonetheless.

I don't know much about the whole ROM thing and Android in general. I come from G1 land, where everything was easy :D. You just flash the ROM and you're done. However, if I understand correctly, here you just flash the ROM you want (ICS whatever) and then the kernel (boot). Did I miss something along the way?

I would think that the kernel should be no different conceptually than the one in Linux (or Windows, or OS-X, or...). It's the interface between the software packages ("Android", plus the apks, framework, all that) and the hardware. So really, I don't see why any ROM shouldn't work as long as your kernel has everything the ROM needs to interface with the hardware and the framework has everything the ROM needs to interface with the software (or the software with the kernel). Do I understand correctly?

[EDIT]

I just reread that... you booted the hboot via fastboot instead of writing it to the phone first... which I guess is smarter than what I did -- cus if it won't work at least you don't brick it that way. Do you have a link to the howto for that? I'm sure it's simple and easy, I just have never done it...

[/EDIT]
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
@"cj chitwood"

I followed this thread. My point in posting my experience was that *IT APPEARS* I didn't need to flash the ROM... I just used command "fastboot boot boot.img" and it did its thing. Idk what happened to make that happen but how I read the OP guide it doesn't seem it means to work like that. :o

So what I did. I have ADB/Fastboot setup in a folder on my C: drive. I put the extracted boot.img from the ROM of my choice into that folder and hooked up my phone to my laptop.

I then booted into Fastboot mode and used the Fastboot command as described in OP. After that my phone went into "Know-it-all" mode and just booted up the ROM.

If I need to clarify I can as I wrote this from memory. :cool:

Just my spare change.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
OOOOOPPPPPPPPPS

I was wrong!!! :o

i forgot the word flash when i kept typing "fastboot boot boot.img"

oops haahaha disregard whatever i said CJ :o
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
@CoNsPiRiSiZe

I see, then you did flash. There was a way with the G1 to boot an entire image or just a kernel or so just by using fastboot commands; it looked like this was how you did it. Got it, then. I do wonder though if the way with the G1 was hardware specific or Android generic...
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] r4d14n7:
Basically, recovery does not have the permission to flash the boot image, but fastboot does? Is that the bottom line?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] tbalden:
Yes
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
So, I can confirm this works. My boyfriend recently had his phone stolen, and the insurance replacement had the new hboot on it. He is very new to rooting and roming, and thought he could do things like he did on the old hboot. He restored a back up of bulletproof, and everything was messed up. He was cursing and damning his phone, when in reality it was him not doing his research that caused the problems.:rolleyes: He finally in desperation decided to let me fix it. I flashed the kernel through fastboot, and now everything is working peachy keen. Thanks for making me look like an Android god/ bad ass to my newb boyfriend. :cool:
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] homeboy773:
:p;):D:p:):cool:WORKED!!! I love this! I unlocked boot loader with all in one kit, but it didnt want to root my phone. So I seen this and said wth. Tried it the first time and it didnt work it just stayed in a boot loop. Well IM guessing thats because the first rom must not have been ICs so i went back and downloaded a rom that I knew was ICS and tried it once more ...It rebooted with the mytouch screen then went to a black screen wTh? Oh no....a second later ALL TYPES OF COLORS YES!! ICS lol and it ROOTED my phone!? I say that becuase i couldnt root before no matter what even having recovery it wouldnt grant SU , but with doing this it rooted , THANK GOSH! lol

THANKS GUYS.

What i m doing wrong ?????
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Not knowing how to use dos is 1 thing.

When in dos and you run a command, the system first look in the folder that you're running the command from for that command, and if it does not find it and it has a list of directories in which to look for the command. This list of directories is called the path variable. What I recommend, is that you find where your fastboot.exe file is, and add the location of that file to your system path variable. If you do not know how to do this, I recommend you try google because it's a common enough thing that the answer should be easy to find.

Alternatively, you can put a copy of the fastboot.exe file in the directory where your flashable image is located and run the command from that directory. The problem with this method, while it works, is that you will need a copy of the fastboot.exe file in whatever directory you run it from every time you run it.

UPDATE your thread title, OP

You really should add this is the same procedure for flashing a kernel, theme, or any rom for those with S-ON Unlocked, HBOOT 1.45.0013! It would really help the new guys;) I figured it out quickly but it would have saved me some time lol:D

phone htc doubleshot

Hello,

I have had the worst time trying to get my wife's t-mob mytouch 4g slide to go anywhere from stock crappy rom..... with very little progress.

I feel comfortable doing all of the rooting/updating kind of stuff... I have been running CM roms starting from g1 to my current htc sensation running cm9.....

BUT... this phone I can not get anywhere.

The phone has hboot_1.45.0013 and I have unlocked the boot loader via htc tool.

The method in this thread (get for example cm9 alpha for doubleshot and extract boot.img) seems to not work for me.

1st I can get fasboot to get the boot.img in but after I flash recovery 5.0.2.7 it seems to not work, therefore I can not flash full build or kernel or anything else.....

2nd the recovery shows up with all menu options on the screen but none of them work... clockword recovery logo image appears for every option I select.

Please any advice on how to get to any other state other than the one I am in.....

Thank you in advance,

Mike O.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
With this recovery you select with the power button, not the trackball.

If you didn't get an error with the fastboot part, it probably worked fine. Try the power button instead of the trackball in recovery and see if that doesn't solve this for you...

(had the same problem myself)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] misha:
I am used to pressing power button for selection since I do it often on my htc pyramid phone recovery. I know that there was no action after pressing power button for selection on my wifes mytouch 4g slide.

thanks for advice.... I think that recovery just does not install correctly or something like that. I did try to install several times via fastboot.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] misha:
For those who are successful at taking unrooted 1.45.0013 hboot phone with unlocked boot loader and applying any rom via method described in this thread, can someone put down steps they took including getting recovery in to the phone please.

any help is greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Jaxidian:
Once you've unlocked, all you have to do is one of the following:

To test once and once only (I advise you do this prior to flashing it - it's akin to a boot disk without actually installing anything to permanent storage):

fastboot boot myrecovery.img

To actually flash it to your phone:

fastboot flash recovery myrecovery.img

Ultimately, I followed this thread but I skipped the part about flashing the PG59IMG.zip.

Thoughts from A Noob

First and foremost, thanks for these instructions. Since my 4GS is my only phone, I didn't want to risk trying the S-Off method and cooking my SD card. It seems to be almost risk free but I wasn't going to push my luck. Now running CM9, Alpha5 and loving it.

As a relative noob to rooting phones, I'd like to make a suggestion. I've read every post in this thread and if I missed it somewhere, my apologies.

I rooted my phone close to a month ago so I'm doing this from memory:

After extracting boot.img and placing it in the folder with the fastboot file, I ran the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command and received an error stating something to the effect of needing some adb files. Like I said, I'm relatively new to rooting so I got stumped. I did some research and found out that I needed the Android SDK to get the missing adb files.

I already had SDK downloaded so I searched through the folder after extracting the files and again, no luck. Ran SDK, found that it needed to be updated which I did and voila, there were the adb files I was told were missing when I ran the fastboot command. I'm not sure which update needed to be run to get these files so I just did all of them. If my memory serves me right, the adb files were in the tools folder. Once I located the files, I moved them into the same folder where I had placed fastboot and boot.img, ran the command again and everything worked like what's described in your instructions.

I'm no stranger to computers so figuring out this needed to be done took some research and a bit of jumping around XDA threads before I put all the pieces together. For those other noobs who may not be as computer savvy, I can see this causing quite a bit of confusion. Unless I missed it, I have only seen one post that makes any mention of the adb files, which ones are needed, and including them in the same directory as fastboot and boot.img, and I didn't see anything in reference to needing the Android SDK (in this thread). Perhaps adding this info into your instructions would help to eliminate some questions and confusion and make it easier for others to flash the custom ROM of their choice if they don't want to try to S-Off method.

Again, thanks for these instructions.

i did this to flash ICS rom but now when i restore to stock from recovery it doesnt boot? how will i do that?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
My understanding is that you will have to pull the original kernel image and "adb fastboot flash boot boot.img" and then go into recovery and restore the nandroid that was created with CWM on top of your kernel. Of course you'll want to flush cache/ dalvik & user data first from there too.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

I'm glad things went well but if you will read the very top of the CWM 6 thread, the developer has recommended that it not be used just yet as there are some issues on some phones. I'd suggest going back to CWM 5027 or 5504 for now. At least until XMC gives the 'go ahead' again for the CWM Touchscreen version.

Just a suggestion though......
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] restopi:
I used this twice (for Viruous Inquisition and CM9). Before the flashing boot.img i did a wipe, but still in both cases I got stuck on the boot animation until i did a wipe AFTER the fastboot flash command (see http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29083050&postcount=1562 seems im not the only one)

So Id recommend changing the OP point 9 to say the following or similar "9.) Now, reboot your phone into Recovery. Wipe all data. Then flash your ROM by flashing the zip file". That helped me although i dont know if it will help others
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DaMan90:
How do I check what my hboot is?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
1) Turn off phone.

2) Press and hold Volume-Down button. Or Volume-Up. I forget which. Down I think.

3) While holding Volume button, hold Power button.

Phone will now enter bootloader. At the top of the screen will be some information, among the info is HBOOT and version number.

If the power button simply turns on the phone, rather quickly, regardless of which Volume button you hold down, you have fastboot enabled. To disable:

1) Settings, Power, Fast boot (uncheck it).

Cheers

This ia great! Thanks.

However, the above did not always work for me (see http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36032065#post36032065). I need to:

Extract the "boot.img" file from the zip file on my PC

Reboot the phone into Recovery

Perform a nandroid backup

Wipe data/factory reset

Format system,data, and cache (my machine does not have dalvik. Also, I think data and cache were already done by the previous wipes)

Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to the PC

Run fastboot flash boot boot.img

Reboot the phone into Recovery

Flash the zip file

Reboot the phone.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
Isn't that how it's been recommended to flash it all this time? You have to do everything everyone else does for a flash, with the added step of fastboot flash boot boot.img at some point since we're S-ON.

Or did I miss something you were saying?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
This is a question, and belongs in the Q&A sub-forum.

That said, I don't know of any way to back up SMS without being interop-unlocked. The full-phone backups are encrypted and not usable for this purpose. The only other way I know of to back up SMS is to copy messages one at a time and save them somewhere, and that would be a lot of work in a thread as long as you say.
