Thanks, but no... It's the PG59IMG.zip format that you put on the sdcard and the fastboot automatically loads it up. Unfortunately, it also checks to see if you need the update and apparently it thinks I don't. It opens the file just like when it did flash, but it doesn't do anything with it. I even redownloaded it with no luck.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
when you flashed the custom ROM, did you also flash the boot image, as per the instructions here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1508556

when you are unlocked by the HTC unlocker, flashing the boot image separately thru fastboot is an extra hoop you have to jump thru. i'm not positive, but if you didn't do that, that could be why wifi doesn't work, depending on what ROM it is.

also, i think you were asking about a CWM flashable zip for the OTA stock ROM? there is one here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1484679

i hope this helps!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] cj chitwood:
I did not follow those instructions. I flashed a GB / Stock based ROM, so there was no need to flash the boot image after the ROM because I didn't need an ICS kernel.

I think you're right. I don't remember which ROM I was trying but I'm pretty sure it was a GB ROM (I could be wrong). I do recall not seeing a brokelog but it seemed like WiFi was the only thing that wasn't working. Still, only reason I have deliberately avoided trying any of the ICS ROMs is they all have something missing I need for work. I'd be fine without SMS but that's how my wife and I communicate during the day a lot (low signal, texts get through more reliably). I need WiFi for those times in the office where I have no signal but have access to wifi.

LOL, found that one too and it is exactly what I was needed. Thanks! It works a champ! Just got to take the time to set the phone up perfect-like and then take a backup of it now that I can.

Thanks!

Samething happen to me with no wifi :(...

Ive rooted a friends mytouch about 2 months ago and put a rom on too (not sure which one but that was the last and only one then). That's all I did. Her phone screen broke and she got a new mytouch yesterday with 1.55.531.3. So I made a backup of her rom from her old mytouch and then loaded CWM recovery on her new mytouch then restored it on her new phone. Everything went good but her wifi isn't working.

She wanted all her apps/themes/etc.....just like her old mythouch on the new one. Any idea on what I should do?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Followed guide, now unlocked, but wifi also borken

This is on my MT4GS that I just got back from HTC Repair. They replaced the entire mainboard, so I got stuck with 1.55.531.3.

Followed the steps in the guide to the letter, loading the PG59IMG.zip file went off without a hitch, as did the unlock process through htcdev.com. Fastboot flash of CWM likewise smooth, along with superuser. Restored my latest Nandroid backup, ready to clean and tweak (it wasn't as recent as it should have been), only to find the dreaded wifi error occurring. Thought something had glitched, so I did a factory reset. Still no joy for wifi.

Is there a fix for this for those of us who want to stay stock? I really use wifi a great deal at home and work, and I need to get it operational again. I know Blue has been working his paws raw trying to crack s-off for 1.55.531.3; hopefully restoring wifi is an easier and quicker patch.

I wish my phone hadn't borked in the first place--everything was perfect with root and s-off before... :(

Crying carefully away from my MT4GS --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] reddragon022:
My friend feels your pain too :(. I thought everything would go good too but no wifi either.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Wifi fixed! Although not entirely sure *how*...

This is a MT4GS with 1.55.531.3, unlocked via the guide at the beginning of this thread, and wifi wouldn't work afterward (response = "error" when trying to activate). I now have wifi operational on my phone running the last Nandroid backup made before it went to HTC Repair.

Here are the steps I took in the hopes someone else can reproduce them, as I'm not quite sure why it worked the way it did (although I'm mighty glad it did :D):

A) Searching through the forums, I found that others with s-on/unlocked were having wifi issues after flashing a ROM. Part of the solution involved a fastboot flash of the boot.img file from the ROM, prior to flashing the ROM itself. So I decided to see what would happen if I followed this with the 1.55.531.3 stock ROM, flashable through CWM. See message 34 in this thread for links to flashing the boot.img file and the OTA stock ROM (I used the undebloated version, since some things that are considered "bloat" I like to use).

B) Both the boot.img flash and the ROM flash succeeded, and this successfully achieved a working wifi! However, I didn't want to set up my phone from scratch, so I followed up with a Nandroid backup restore. Bzzzt. Wifi broken again after restore.

C) So I resigned myself to time involved in setting things up from scratch, and repeated the boot.img flash followed by the ROM flash, exactly as before.

D) And voila! Completely unexpected, not only do I have working wifi, but all my phone settings from the Nandroid restore are still in place. All I have to do is a bit of app reinstall and debloating, and my phone is as it was before. Much rejoicing in Lynnwood at 4 am. :D

Now, the part I don't quite understand, but am glad it happened, is how performing step C didn't set me back to completely stock, that my restored backup remained in play. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to work, and others can follow these steps for the same happy result--if a recent backup is available. I hope my success can be repeated by others.

Good fortune to all making the attempt --

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] reddragon022:
So basically you flashed boot.img in fastboot...then went into CWR and flashed DS_Mod_1.55.531.3 through recovery. loaded the rom, then went back into cwr and loaded nandroid backup.then did the first 2 steps again but didn't do a nandroid again after doing boot.img and ds_mod then wifi is working, correct?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] reddragon022:
Ok I did the boot.img way and loaded ds mod too, just so my friend can get her phone back in her hands again...Im glad that's done so she can leave me alone. I just told her that its basically stock now and everything should be working just as you bought it out the store and you have root access.. :) thanks

(her-wifi isn't working, o yeah, when i try to upload a picture it doesn't work, couple of other things too...that was before) (now its..her-where is market:::me-look on app screen..her-I don't see it..me-o god, it should be play something...her-that's market..me-YES!!!!!her-so I hit continue..me-YESSSSSS!!!!!..her-o, ok...then wonders off, me-THANK GOD!!!! :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Guys - in /system/lib/modules there is a file called bcm4329.ko and another called kineto_gan.ko

These modules are kernel-specific, meaning that they must match the exact kernel they came from-regardless of who makes it (HTC, me, you - whoever)

If they do not, then you will not have wifi (no you don't NEED both, but if you want full functionality then you do)

Anyone having wifi errors this is why.

Fastboot flashing the boot.img file will actually write the kernel - if you try to do it through recovery there are securities in place preventing it actually writing the kernel (thanks HTC!!!!)

What happens without fastboot flashing the kernel (boot.img) is that you have those modules made for a kernel you don't have installed.

...just in case anyone was unsure as to what the problem was, this is it right here.

so you either have to:

-fastboot flash the kernel for the ROM you are using...

-or-

-install the modules in /system/lib/modules for the kernel you are using.

I will split those modules from the stock software packages and make them into flashable zips now, so i'll have then up within the next half hour or less.

This should make it easier for people on custom ROMs with stock kernels to just get their wifi back, so they can flash the modules they need for stock.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] KingCheetah:
Blue, you rock. Going to have to start calling you the MT4GS guru. Just don't burn yourself out on all the dev work, cause I know you're putting a lot into figuring out s-off for 1.55.531.3.

question i have the same 1.55.531.3 software on android 2.3.4 with S-ON will it brick or damage my phone if i do this procesure ??
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Nope, you'll be fine as long as the file isn't corrupt and you don't lose power while it's doing it - so make sure you have a full battery before you start.

...if there was anything to check an MD5 Sum on, these files are it!

I also ran into an interesting issue on the 1.63.531.2 update file this morning, and it was a totally random thing because I had used the same file from the same spot on my sdcard a handful of times previously:

...and lastly, i'm hosting mirrors of the PG59IMG.zip files with HTC signatures that the S-ON people need in the same post I just quoted from, here:

Restore to Stock

...finally got them all uploaded, my home internet sucks big time so doing something that big from here is not possible. Thank goodness for AndFTP that lets me stage it on the doubleshot and then upload through 4G or at a fast wifi connection. My life ( as far as sharing my stuff with you all ) sucked before that app... :D

What am I doing wrong, I did this before , the only thing that's different is I'm on the latest leaked version
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Here is a little bit of an explanation of what the command is doing that you are issuing:

How to fastboot flash recovery

Okay, so from your screenie:

First command was typed correctly, but the image wasn't in the folder with fastboot.

Second try tells us that you have a file named recovery.img in your fastboot folder, the command was issued correctly, and the phone recieved the file. It then rejected the install.

You are obviously S-ON, did you do the htc unlock? If not that's why you fail.

I haven't brought my S-ON phone up to software version 1.63.531.2 yet, it's still on 1.55.531.3, but that would be my first thought

The successive commands issued are missing the partition to flash the image to, and then the last one fails the sig check again.

You are either locked, or ? I've gotta run in a few but that's a thought to throw at it?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
I'm not sure what's going on either, but one question, assuming you're S-ON(?): (as I think Blue was asking before me), did you re-unlock your bootloader after flashing the latest leaked ROM file?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ac3theone:
I was unlocked through htcs unlocker , then I relocked to flash the update through the bootloader, after I flashed update there when I tried to flash cwm, ive done this on the 1.55 update so not really sure why I'm not able to unlock bootloader anymore. This is the unlock command right

” fastboot oem unlock”
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
actually i just checked, and you have to reflash your unlocktoken...... fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin.

Have you tried the HTC developer website unlock tool directly? Has it failed?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
yeah like jonnycat said, have you tried the HTC unlocker? it should work right away on that version. the reason it wouldn't flash before is because the phone is already on the very latest version, so the one you were flashing was older... and the device is S-ON, so it wouldn't allow it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CZ Eddie:
I did try the HTCdev tool and it never gave me the confirmation screen.

But that was before I downloaded a ~20MB update from HTC this morning.

I'll try the HTCdev tool again right now.

EDIT:

Something in that 20MB update from HTC made it so I could get the confirmation screen. :)

I'll continue moving forward now!

Hello i tried doing the HTCdev unlock tool but nothing happens when i click on begin bootloader unlock. Am i missing something? the device is S-Off since i root and s-off it before but my friend accidentally updated(stayed with stock tmobile rom since it was most functional at the time)...now its LOCKED with S-OFF...i was able to install the update mentioned in the steps provided but am stuck at the HTCdev part. Can i get steps on how to do the HTCdev? Thank you
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
It doesnt sound like youre using the HTC tool.

Go to: www.htcdev.com/bootloader
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
i have seen that issue before, where you log in and select your device and all, and then click that 'begin unlock bootloader' button, and it doesn't do anything. it's annoying, and i think it is either site or browser-related. so i don't know the fix, other than: restarting your browser or computer, or trying a different browser/OS, if you have access. and in any case, it will work eventually.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
hmm, mine also fails at the re-flash of the older system image. i'm assuming because it is older than the current installed version on phone.

the unlocker fails also.

any hints ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
OK, I have followed the howto in the first post. My slide is running 1.6.xxx something image, and is S-ON, with stock recovery. The HTC unlocker fails, so I'm not certain if this can go any further.

Trying to downgrade to 1.5.xxx apparently isn't possible, or I'm doing something wrong, as fastboot fails to allow me to go from 1.6.xxx to 1.5.xxx

would someone please point me to a clue ?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yogi2010:
The HTC Unlocker will work on that ROM version. Where/how is it failing? If it is the thing where you click it and nothing happens, that's just the issue with the site or the brower.... but the tool will work once you get in and get it going.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ohgood:
****updated*****

***************************

I needed to update my SDK tools (fastboot) and it worked just fine. THANKS FOR THE INPUT GUYS !

**************************

it fails with an ambiguous error something like

""We're sorry, but it appears your attempt to unlock the bootloader on this device has failed. This could be caused by several factors including simple errors in the entry of the unlock token, problems with your device, or a lack of manufacturer support for the unlocking process. Please see the specific error code listed below, and try again if necessary.

Error Code: Invalid Bootloader Token Length.

Error Reason: The submitted Token appears to be the wrong length and won't work.""

after copy pasting the output from the fastboot commands.

ALSO

attempting to flash an older OEM image fails because of the date (i'm assuming) on the older version.

so I'm stuck with no root, S-ON, and no CWM-recovery.

Is this common with the 1.6.xxx versions of the OEM roms ?

thanks for any and all input !

Hey All. Got my Amaze yesterday and its already up and running on the Energy ROM with faux kernal; thanks to those respective devs. With the flashing out of the way for now, time to look into some cases. As everyone is aware, amaze is not the lightest or thinnest phone, so a case with minimal weight would be desireable. I ran into a matte snap on case from ebay, wanted to know if anyone here has any feedback on these. I am not going after the price (I am open to spend whatever for the ideal case), but more so on the "thin" part. Sadly, I can't post the url due to my noob status, but its easily searchable under "Matte BLACK Hard Snap On Thin Back Case Cover For HTC T-Mobile Amaze 4G".

Looking forward to being part of the Amaze community!
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
I have a two piece black rubberized case on my one amaze, and a one piece hard case on the other one. Both are light, and fit pretty good. the two piece fits tighter, and has cutouts for all the mic holes on the back cover etc. and they all line up. its just a cheap ebay case. And both are thin. Any cheapie case you get on ebay will be light, and the best part is after a couple months just pay $3-5 and get a new one.

The one piece doesen't cover the top and bottom of the phone, just the sides, so it won't protect as well as the two piece, and if I ever have to pop the two piece apart to get at the back cover, it comes apart easy.

I'd get a cheap two piece, try it out. if you need more protection, then upgrade, but i'd start at ebay.
