Not sure about that, but it's there for sure....I ain't too sure what colors are needed to change in there really as I have never before installed CM5, but use your logic and I'm sure you'll solve it ;) Or someone here could help you about that....or even better...search through CM5 thread from alan090 to see if somebody already answered this.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jp4756:
YOU MUST HAVE ADB FOR THE MYTOUCH SLIDE SET UP BEFORE DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS DONT DO THIS!!!!! IF YOUR PHONE BRAKES NOT OUR PROBLEMS!!!!!

Download this package http://outboundlink.us/anxo/dr_ta_1...www.4shared.com/file/rbKZa2UB/Slide_Root.html

1.	Unzip that file to the tools folder in your android sdk

2.	In cmd cd into the tools folder of your android sdk

•	CD\

•	Cd androidsdk\tools

3.	Boot into recovery (volume down and power, then select recovery)

4.	Get the options on the screen in recovery (volume up and power)

5.	run the update.zip it will fail

6.	now in cmd type adb reboot recovery (don’t press enter)

7.	in the recovery hit reboot system now( once it starts rebooting run that command rapidly untill back into recovery)

8.	type adb devices(if it says nothing repeat the steps, if it says offline unplug it and then plug it back in, if it says recovery your fine)

9.	once you get it to say your device and recovery do these commands

•	adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (press enter)

•	adb push slideroot.zip /sdcard (press enter)

10.	type this comandin cmd adb push update.zip /sdcard (don’t press enter)

11.	on the recovery menu hit apply update.zip and when you do that wait half a second and hit enter in cmd (if that dosent work try the loop way bye typing loop in to cmd wile booting into recovery and the crtl+c to end it when you see offline)(my way works better and mor of the times)

12.	now you should be in the new recovery image if not start over

13.	co to the partitions menu and hit mount /system

14.	then go back and go to install any zip, chose zip from sdcard, and then select slideroot.zip

15.	reboot

Thanks to eugene for the initial how-to

Thanks to chiefzreloaded

Thanks kingofyo1 for helping people with me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
For the love of GOD I hope this works... I've been wondering why another way hasn't been found yet... trying this in a few minutes.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Are the files in step 1 the same from the original root thread? Should clarify that so people dont download it twice and confuse themselves. And just to be clear, we only need to push the two zips to the sd card...? F*ck it, gonna try it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shinkinrui:
Uh, this method isn't going to work on a stock phone. The signature on the update.zip that contains the clockwork recovery will fail. The only reason choosing the update is working for you(jp) is because you've already flashed to the Engineering ROM.

The whole reason eugene's method works is because the phone reads the correct signature the ota.zip and then we push the update.zip with clockwork recovery RIGHT before it starts the update. Following your guide completely skips that part. So, again, won't work on stock.

Sorry, fermonkey. Hope you can get it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
Couldn't even waste time to try it on a stock phone... :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Fordude:
Thanks for all the help and documentation on this guys!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
this doesnt work...

the update.zip fails
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] bhang:
I was hoping somebody resigned it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
yeah well the instructions if you go by them will overwrite the update.zip anyways. but eitherway itdoesnt work.. maybe more clarification is needed?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jp4756:
its not signd wrong its that is has to be pushed through adb
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jp4756:
updated try now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jp4756:
ya i got that i updated it with better instructions, and it was because the files needed to be pushed through adb the cant just be put on an sd card and flashed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
still says no device found

I tried hit up arrow for repeat quick commands in cmd prompt but still nothing. If this works for someone, this will be way easier to root. it seems the device responses to adb because it will reboot into recovery with a cmd during the reboot but it cant find the device offline.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
hmmm...! some progress was made! I got it to say offline but when I replugged it in... it says nothing. what next?

I guess I'll rinse and repeat...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
any luck with the new method? I got it to say device offline but replugging it produces nothing...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
just curious... how do we know this will work? as anyone rooted with this method yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stoneyjonez:
First of all, doesn't work on a stock Slide. Second, how is this process any easier? It's almost the same process as the other (working) method except you gave crappier directions.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
So this method still relies on your phone being recognized by adb in recovery, right? If so, then no, I am sure I will have no luck what so ever.

Once froyo comes out, will there ever be another way developed to root, or will it always require adb recognition in recovery? Because I fear I'll never get rooted if thats the case.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shinkinrui:
Dude, seriously, this won't work on stock. There's no clarification needed. Yes, the update.zip is overwritten, but it's overwritten AFTER it reads the signature from the ota.zip. No offense but stop making people waste time on this.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Oh! It's staying in offline mode with this process... now just gotta unplug/replug to see if I get a recovery status in adb!... god I hope this works.!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dominiiking:
Finally ROOTED!!!

anybody neeeds help add me on gtalk dominiiking@gmail.com
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
LOL dude have some hope ..at worst you can mail me your phone or drive to Miami! .. ive gotten it to work on two different pc's and Im about to root my father's Slide too.. By the end of the weekend my gf's and one of my friends will at least be tested if they dont want root

when you replugged it you re entered the command adb devices correct??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
dbl post..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Well, I unplugged/replugged many time, and it still says device offline while the phone is at recovery, I just cant get adb devices to show it in recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
yeah... once I plug it in no device found

And it is only once in blue moon that that will happen. the exact message is "error:device is offline"
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
lol! I am about ready to drive to wesgarner's store in birmingham and pay him $50 to root this *****. I'd bet he'd freak, lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
did you use this method?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
OMFG!!!

You Really FKing Joking Me, it no Diff... It the Same way I had it until People Said Didn't work!! So we Just added a Step for Recovery then Flashing... It's no Different.. the Method is still the Same..

Come on JP, For Fk sake's... All you did was Repost the same Guide I had originally, there is Nothing easier about this for Rooting.. It's a ***** to do & you're not going to get it the first few times..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Well, his uses the same overall rooting concept, but this guide has you try to get the device in adb recovery a much different way.

Your's has a loop of adb devices that you start from fastboot, and then go into recovery hoping it's found offline.

This one has you go into recovery, then have it reboot while you manually run adb reboot recovery.

And not sure if it's a coincidence, but I have a much much higher sucess rate of the device staying in an offline mode using this method. I just now have to keep trying to get adb to recognize it in recovery mode.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] shinkinrui:
Pardon me, I didn't see the instructions had been updated. Hope this new way is working to get people into recovery for adb

just to confirm, fermunky, did you install pdanet properly before you started trying to root, i am trying to figure out waht you guys who are having issues are doing wrong.

and PS NOONE DONATE TO THIS N00B, DONATE TO EUGENE AS THIS IS HIS PROCESS JUST WORDED DIFFERENT, I'M GLAD EUGENE CAME IN HERE AND SAW THIS
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
lmao... That fine.. I just find it to be a Slap in the Face to me & CR, being we had to teach him how to adb push at 3am this morning..

If it works, fine but same-thing I had at first when everyone said it didn't work, lmao oh well..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I cant get it either. I have pdanet installed and every other driver I can think of. Ive tried 100 different variations and spent several hrs. Im about to give up. Ive never had this much trouble with anything tech. since I got my first pc with windows 95, lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Oh wow asking for donations?? for a write up? Did this guy change any files or anything?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
i thynk he jus reworded it.....next hell be releasing a "easier way to install Eng build" and a ROM based off the stock shipping build
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
well at this point Ive got a 50 to whoever can root this thing. I have a ****ing headache. I know its something simple about adb but I cant see it for some reason. After changing drivers around a 1000 times, I must have screwed it up. Im not even sure what to try anymore after I cleared everything off the pc
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] gofizzle:
tubaking 182,

I removed everything including all drivers via USBDeview. I installed PDANet, then HTC Sync, verified drivers were still ok, then installed r3 driver from SDK. No matter what I cannot get this to work to get to recovery and have device be recognized.

Any input would be great.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
you could ship it to me and send the 50 to eugene, i'll ship it back when i'm done rooting it :) i spent ten minutes rooting mine and i even had the power go out while i was hooked up to computer
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Thats a nice donation lol.. its too easy once get it to recognize device. I posted this in the original root thread but I'll post here too. I was able to root another slide. Maybe try getting a virgin machine and do what I did.

Also when I hit loop I wait for the phone to go into recovery first and wait a few seconds just a bit before I think its going to pop up the hardware device recognized I hit loop
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
yeah, I just found that post earlier. Im trying droid explorer now. The device is reocognized when it on by adb. just not in the loop process or second method. that what makes me think it is set up correctly. I'll try a bit more...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nomadrider123:
sos just different day. I am wondering what is different from phones that work and us who have problems there has to be a missing link? We all have installed uninstalled drivers for hours tried to hit loop at various moments. so i was wondering if its a app we have installed on our phones? Do a factory reset? probably not just trying to find the missing link.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
hahaha! I tried that already. no luck
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] s0xpan:
ima test this out now

thanks for saving me from waisting my time lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Royalknight6190:
This Thread is Closed we do not need 2 Threads about the same exact thing. Eugene was the one who found how to root and he was the one who wrote the first guide to do it. If you found an extra step all you had to do was ask him to edit his OP. This is causing clutter around the Forum.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jp4756:
Hope this has helped some people understand howto root their tmobile mytouch slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HighRidas:
this may sound rlly stupid but has anyone double checked there settings to make sure debugger is on. because i know ive forgotten that once or twice :o
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
yeah, it can turn off by itself sometimes. happened to me if i pulled the battery without powering off first. wasted many hrs with the root process till I realized that plus checking snyc only in menu/settings/connect to pc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I think it will... eugene just wanted credit for the inital descovery for root acess plus realized this works and is a good alternative for some. good work man. I glad this thread was reopened...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
jp, I know you've gotten some flack in here. However, with your very slight various to the process, I actually had mine once stay in offline mode, but would never reach recovery mode after unplugging and replugging it. May have been a coincidence, but just saying...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] i0nicx:
same here with jp's method
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] eugene373:
Not even Hardly the Case..

how do i know if the zip is in the root of my sdcard?

I get stuck on clockwork recovery

i click:

install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard

then my only choices is:

update.zip

it doesnt give me a option of slideroot.zip

WHAT THAT MEANS THAT IT DONT WORK O STOCK MYTOUCH SLIDE? SO IN WHAT IT WORKS?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
You don't need slide root, cause eugene's root.zip has all the files you need. The stock rom will be given root access if I understand correctly.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myersn024:
I noticed that damageless said that for the new version of his rom that the permissions for /system/bin/ip have been fixed in order to straighten out 4G issues. I checked mine, and this is what it said.

$ ls -l /system/bin/ip
-rwsr-sr-x root inet 134872 2008-08-01 7:00 ip

Are those the proper permissions? If not, can someone tell me what to change them to? I don't have 4G in my area, so I'm not sure if my 4G is working.:(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeykrim:
the OTA released by HTC for the sdcard fix, in the update-script file sets permissions on this file as follows:

set_perm 0 3003 06755 SYSTEM:bin/ip

i googled chmod 6755 and the first article seems very insightful

http://www.slackbook.org/html/filesystem-structure-permissions.html

it also gives an example of 6755 which matches your permissions.

example:

% chmod 6755 /tmp/example

% ls -l /tmp/example

-rwsr-sr-x 1 david users 0 Apr 19 11:21 /tmp/example
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myersn024:
The reason I ask is because I was at my mother-in-law's house last weekend, and she lives in a 4G area. At the time, my 4G didn't work but I flashed Fresh's 4G fix over it and that seemed to fix it. However, since then, I went back and did the full NAND unlock procedure and had to reflash from a nandroid backup and then also reflash the newest radio. Just to be safe, I went ahead and reflashed Fresh's 4G fix again after doing all that. However, since I'm unable to test it since I don't have 4G where I live, I'm just trying to make sure that I've got everything as straight as it can possibly be without doing an ACTUAL test.

On a side note, a friend of mine has an EVO which has been rooted using unrevoked and his file permissions on that file are the same as mine.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
Is there anyway to use root to unlock the mytouch slide, or do I have to pay one of the services to do so?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
root can not get rid of the subsidy lock, you will still need the valid unlock code.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
Are the services the only way to generate a valid one other than calling tmo?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
That is about it. I hear t-mobile is pretty good at giving them out as long as you meet a few requirements. I went through a service to unlock both of mine as I am not and have never been a t-mobile customer. :)

My codes were delivered in under 2 hours and was only $10/ea... If you are interested in who I went through you can PM me and i'll tell you.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
I've been a customer for 7 years, bought these phones specifically for a trip I'm leaving for tomorrow, but they tell me I have to wait 14 days. Oh well.

great and VERY fast sim unlock company is Carrierunlock.com. took less than an hour and was ten bucks. different phones cost different, this was for blackberry for a friend.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] turboyo:
Man get a hold of another rep that's bs .. my dad bought a hd2 and as soo as we left the store we called and the rep put in the request for unlock, within 24 hrs it was unlocked. She did tell me how ever that I now have to wait 90 days for my next phone, which sucks because he exchanged the hd2 for a Slide!! Also the reason for the call wasnt unlock specific but it came up and she did it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nsvrana:
It's listed as $20+. Anyone have an actual $10 solution?

The only down side getting it from the carrier is it takes up to 14 days to get it from them. I just ask them when I first get my phone so when I do travel I don't have to wait for it and panic.

I just downloaded this game and im surprise how well it runs on the evo. I have had this game on my iphone, palm pre, and now on the evo. This hand down look better than any other version while maintaining smooth steady frame per second.

People sometimes do not realize this but compare to the iphone and palm pre the evo is rendering the image at 800*480 which is double the resolution but also it look 2x better providing sharper image and more detail.

Hi,

I seem to remember finding a tweak or a program on here to change the default storage location for all of my Outlook emails synchronised via ActiveSync, that is for the messages and the attachments to be stored on the SD card.

I have had to hard reset my device due to an "issue".

It is running standard UK Orange ROM.

I have spent that last 2 hours searching and failed to find anything to help.

Can anyone suggest how this is done PLEASE!!! :D

[Android Apps and Games] Bikram:
Hi,

with day by day increase in the size of screen, it's becoming hard to choose a good handset. Even if the handset has good hardware the size is WAY TOO big. I like the 3.7'' but now days all of them are getting bigger than that. The new droid is suppose to be 4.4''. I have heard that in Android 2.2 there are more options for bluetooth. I have tried voice dialer in my x10 (it has Android 1.6) it's terrible!! So I was wondering of other alternatives such as one my friend had. He had a sony mp3 player and he could pair that with his motorola and dial numbers from his mp3 player!!!

So I was wondering in the new Android is bluetooth dialing possible? By that I mean, having a java program installed in cheap Chinese phone and then use it to dial numbers. So you would have two phone with you; the cheap phone only to dial peoples and the big phone in your jacket to sms and web browsing.
