I used about a 12 inch chunk of old school coaxial cable, took about 3/4 inch off both ends. Really I would believe any properly insulated cable in the 22-14 gauge (or so) range would suffice.

After successfully gaining radio soff you would choose to flash the jbear patched hboot, this you say yes to and it auto does it for you.

When all is completed you need to boot to fastboot where you flash a recovery image, from now on any ROM you flash no longer needs you to separately flash the kernel, just flashing a ROM from recovery.

Two things, adb and fastboot are different commands and to be used in different circumstances. eg

adb shell

chmod /xxxxxx

Or

fastboot flash radio radio.img

If you never added a path for adb to environmental variables then take all the needed files and extract them to the same folder adb.exe and fastboot.exe are in, cd to this location and try commands again. If issues still arise post input/output again
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
wait a minute i already have adb setup ive been fastboot flashing my boot.img for a while now

i did the environment variables and added c android etc in the computer properties
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
I'm not at a computer right now but the commands you are typing in can't be right, first of chances are you are to be in a shell which I don't see you in, and I can't think of a command that would end in adb fastboot.

If you can wait untill I get to a computer I look over what you typed vs what commands should be entered
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
yeah i can wait i was just following the instructions on the unlimited io site

Untar ALL files from the download into a new folder

cd into the folder where you extracted and run the following cmd:

Note: This cmd returns a blank new line if you have done it correctly.

chmod 755 ControlBear adb fastboot

Run ControlBear from terminal - sudo ./ControlBear

Follow the on-screen instructions from ControlBear.

Do not press any of the buttons on the phone during the process.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Ill be home soon, but now that I think about it don't you have to be using a linux distro? From the looks of it your doing this through windows... anyway when I get back ill look this up and ill let you know what's wrong, but if those are the commands jbear says to use for sure then you definitely need linux
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
Yeah they said they don't support windows anymore ...I just figured they meant for further development ...and the download on their site can still be used....

So I'm guessing I need the .exe
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Yeah just checked it out, looks like you were doing everything right other then using Linux.

Just burn a live CD quick of Ubuntu and do it from there, should work fine and only takes a few minuets to do. But really there a tons of great free distros you can grab and dual boot from, if you ever want to get deep into android you'll need to learn Linux. And in so many ways Linux is a fantastic os, you should really check it out
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
Ok here's the thing my actual comp crashed and the one I'm using is a netbook the other pcs are just waaaayyyy too slow...is there a way I can just download it? I went to unbuntu .com and it started to download an ISO guessing that needs to be copied to a disk then inserted huh...

So you telling me everyone who s-off has ubuntu installed? Wow
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Way too slow? You can use a super old n slow computer to run linux, hell puppy linux is so light and tiny pretty much the whole os lives in ram.

No matter, yeah ubuntu is easy and user friendly, download the iso, use a good program to burn it to a disc, restart computer and boot from disc, tell it not to download, just tessting.

This take about 5 or min to load fully depending on comp, when it does it will be a full ubuntu enviroment.

You'll need to download to it the platform tools folder from the sdk, and need to create the proper rules for ubuntu to read your phone, after this you should be able to plug in phone, open a terminal and have at it!

And I just assumed most people who use android a lot already have linux, so I wouldn't be surprised if this doesn't come up to often as those who bother to get true radio s-off probably wouldn't be bothered by having at least a linux dual boot. But its all good, I still use windows all the time myself. Each os has goods and bads.

Good luck! Let me know if you get stuck
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] drklaw:
Don't mean to interrupt but having done this last week I just wanted to add that only Ubuntu 12.4 is supported by unlimited, if I remember. There was a choice on Ubuntu.com between this one and 12.10 (?). To go "by-the-book" pull down the right one.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] butch87402:
Demkantor thanks man you deserve an hour of thanks button mashing... Weekends you the dude for Windows version... Drklaw thanks for the info and Everyone else thank you thank you for your patience ... Never knew what Ubuntu was it looks pretty freaking cool... Maybe when I get my new laptop I'll throw that in there...

well since this one is for windows the commands defintely arent the same as the one on unlimited huh

so i just install the exe then?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
i assume you need to run the .exe as an administrator, thats similar to the chmod command you were entering earlier. other than that, looking through the website it looks as thats really all, id check md5sums for the hboot and boot images though to be safe as well, looking at mine

And also my SD card wasn't wiped or became unusable

---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Why shouldn't I download it? Wouldn't that mean that I'd need to have my USB I'm the comp all the time?

And free distros? I really wanna try the os now
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] demkantor:
Yes Ubuntu like pretty much all Linux distros are free though they do except donations. You can download it to a CD or thumb drive and test it from there or use that disc or thumb drive to install Ubuntu. I would recommend to dual boot (easily set up through the disc) and I'm sure you will slowly stop using windows over time.

You can also do the wubi installer for Ubuntu though I don't recommend it as it really is more of a VM that lives inside windows so the speed is reduced and the size is limited to like 20 or 30gb

Just download the Iso, stick on disk, boot from disk, follow easy install instructions, within 15 min or so you will have a fully function dualbootin computer!

And if you get stuck there are always tons of people at #ubuntu freenode irc channel, I've gotten help there many times over the years!

Good luck!
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Cannot find network on boot

Just went S-Off with the wire trick. Took about a 100 taps, but I got it. :D

So I wasn't without a cell phone during the process, I popped my SIM card in a spare phone, so no SIM in during the process. Now I'm wondering if that was bad idea.

Upon reboot, I was stuck with no service (Rogers). Tried my travel SIM (T-Mobile), same problem. After fooling around in mobile broadcasts got me nowhere, I just waited. About 15 minutes later, I got a connection. Thinking it was fine, and wanting to get my Rogers SIM back in, I powered off, swapped, and started back up. Another 15 minute wait to get service.

I had this sort of problem in the past, which turned out to be a dying SIM card:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2741327

This time the card is practically brand new (and is not the only one causing the issue). Is this something that needs to settle in the next couple days, or will I be stuck with this delay forever?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SKAm69:
I didn't have this issue upon s-off (maybe because I had my SIM in the phone). Do you have the latest radio firmware? You could also try rolling back to s-on and then re s-off with the Sim inserted.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
I have Radio-11.16.3504.20_2. Don;t know if that's the newest or not.

I didn't know you can S-On again (I thought the change was one way).

Anyways, the device settled in about a day. The last few reboots have been good. I probably would have got the initial problems with the SIM card in anyway come to think of it.

Thanks for checking in.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zaos:
I would like to get a zip of a stock (or very close to stock) rom for troubleshooting. Unfortunately, all the links I found to usermade zips are broken, particularly now after the MU debacle. Could anyone be kind enough to send me one? My desire randomly freezes (particularly when phone is moved around) with pretty much any custom ROM (with some *2SD) I put on it and I'd like to use a stock non *2SD rom to troubleshoot. HTC replaced my AMOLED with a SLCD without my permission, and I'll send it back to them to be fixed if it continues hanging. No SOFF, etc needed since phone is out of warranty - and they fixed the screen with the phone flashed to a custom rom without comment.

Finding and using the .zip from a official RUU didn't work in Recovery - guess there are some changes that need to be made.

Short:

Any stock update zip to flash from recovery, root, etc optional. No *2SD.

Alternatively: Instructions to make update.zip (compatible with recovery) from RUU is fine too.

Thanks.

Phone works much more stable, though I had to delete lots of bloat APKs, resize partitions, delete random junk in /system, to make space for useful apps. Next step is to enable A2SD, possibly manually, and see what happens. Really tempted to backport some new sense, but that's way too premature and will complicate testing way too much.

To make you understand small mathematics calculations

Android system - 89% of 32 = 28.48 % of total battery

Cell standby. - 6% of 32 = 1.92 % of total battery

If you can get into fastboot you should be able to push the recovery partition back down. The Development threads should have more info on how to do it.

ps - didn't notice that you can boot into Android. You should be able to use a terminal program and push CWM into the recovery program too. Or ROM Manager and push CWM. But I think fastboot is your best bet.

Yeah, if you made a mess of it you can do that. Or more you can extract the recovery.img from the zip file and fastboot flash that if you want, or re-run the RUU all options will work.
