Pardon me, I don't know too much about programming so I was woundering if you could replace the recovery.img file in ESPRIMG.zip to have clockwork mod as your recovery, just woundering. Also could someone explain what espriag.zip is. Thank you in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
sorry can't figure out how to delete it completely
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
So I went back to stock, and keep getting stuck in the root process at the final step, every time I try to do the final adb push update.zip /sdcard to get in to clockwork, i keep getting an error that says

"E:failed to verify whole-file signature"

"E:signature verification failed Installation aborted"

Tried both Eugene's method and Wes' simpleroot. Any suggestions please? Want to make sure I'm good to go when cm6 comes out lol. it would be greatly appreciated as i have spent hours wiping and starting from scratch with no luck...

Sorry didn't mean to add the sticky icon, bit of a noob here

Are we gonna get 16m colors with 2.2 or the screen is limited to 65k?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] falken98:
The slide has an 18-bit screen which can display 262k colors, so no matter what we are limited to that.

I've noticed a wifi tether app, is there a way to USB tether similar to the G1 tether(i.e. beside PDAnet)?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AggieChris:
I'm not pro by any stretch so perhaps I shouldn't be answering, but I experienced the same issue.

I think what it turned out to be for me was a timing issue.

Your either pressing enter to slow or to fast after you press the update ZIP on the phone.

If your following the short method(if I'm remembering right), when that happens you can try to run rootme2 again in order to try a different timing.

Ne-one else chime in if I'm outta line.

I hope it helps

i created a thread without seeing this thread first my bad if a mod could delete my thread that would be helpful. my bad guys.

anyways heres my issue

never had any problems with flashing new roms.

however using slide_mr1 i recently started getting force closes on the messaging app when i slid my keyboard open. It also wouldnt let me add in contacts without hitting menu and adding them in manually.

i went to wipe/factory data reset and i recieved this error message

---------------------------

formatting data:...

formatting cache:...

formatting sdext:...

E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(no such device)

error mounting /sd-ext/!

data wipe complete

---------------------------

when I reinstalled slide_mr1, my partition was obvoiusly still there, and none of the errors were fixed.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
reason you're receiving this error, is the same reason EVERYONE ELSE does... we dont have an ext part on the sd card to use.. if you partitioned your sd card for an ext part, then you shouldnt receive that error
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
Cool, thanks for the heads up, I'll keep plugging away at it...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] adoster:
I was listening to music and using Hi Aim just now and my phone turned off by itself. Turned it back on and the myTouch start-up screen didn't appear, and it booted up previous applications and such. I think it crashed, has this happened to anyone else before and should I be worried? Also, do any of you have a problem with the weather widget not finding your Current Location consistently?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
So I have tried probably a hundred times to re-root my phone, to no avail. I can make it to the final adb push step, but it never loads clockwork. I have tried timing it differently countless times, formatting my sd card, and wiping the phone multiple times. is this a phone issue? Can anyone help me?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] falken98:
The only thing it could be is a matter of timing. Keep trying the ota.zip / update.zip push combo until you get it.

Edit: Do the push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip, select update, wait a half a second, then push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip. If that doesn't work, repush ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip wait till you see the green bar then push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip. Just keep going back and forth waiting slightly different amounts of time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] drewtang:
Oh that could be it, the root instructions state for the second push only to enter adb push update.zip /sdcard, not update.zip /sdcard/update.zip, I wonder if that's issue?

Edit:thanks for this I've been driving myself nuts trying to get it figured out lol, I'll try this when I get home.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] amack10:
I've already rooted my phone and finally picked a rom to flash. So as I'm going through the process to get back into recovery I keep having trouble on the loop step. Get loop runing thru cmd and then push recovery but it will never recognize the adb device and say off line any help

Is is it normal for slide to get hot when wifi tethering and charging at same time?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] falken98:
If you are in a CPU intensive application your phone will get hotter, the battery will also get hotter while its charging. So, to answer your question: yes, its normal.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DenominatorX:
If I had hair left on my head, I'd be pulling it out!

I am like the many on this forum who are having the problems getting to clockwork recovery mode - where the device is no longer recognized in the loop.

I'm on Win7 x64 machine. I have also tried these methods on 2 different WINXP Laptops with Service Pack 3

I have been able to get into clockwork several times - with no rhyme or reason as to when it finally worked.

I now have my phone rooted - yay. However, I want to install the ENG ROM andcan't get back to clockwork recovery mode.

The loop recognizes it for like 1 second, like everyone else, and then it goes away - seemingly immediately after the computer goes from seeing it as an ADB/Android device to a Disk Drive.

This is before I hit "Recovery"

See AndroidDevice.jpg attachment

This is after I hit "Recovery" right after my computer sees it and then no longer sees it connected.

See DiskDrive.jpg attachment

Here is my command prompt seeing it and then no longer seeing it:

See CMDPrompt.jpg attachment

Hopefully this helps in diagnosing the problem- but I have been going for about 5 hours now and cannot get back into clockwork recovery. Frustrated :(

Anyone have any additional suggestions?

I've tried:

PDA Net - including reboot

HTC Sync Drivers

USBDevview - removing everything

SDK USB Driver V3

Uninstalling them all and letting trying w/out any drivers

Also Tried a different SD Card formatted
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DenominatorX:
UPDATE: I found this when searching google - and within 4 tries it worked.

With the USB unplugged from the Phone and computer, Boot into HBOOT (with the phone off, press Power + the Down Volume). Then wait a second for the boot loader to try to find some images and then once its done navigate down to “recovery” (DO NOT GO INTO RECOVERY YET), so at this point “recovery” is just highlighted. Plug the USB into the phone, the other end of the USB should NOT be plugged into anything. So now you should have a phone with a USB cord connected/dangling not connected to the computer. Read this through, then do it: Now you will need to start the loop. Then as soon as you can, plug the USB into the computer. As soon (I mean lightning quick here people) as you feel the USB pop into place ENTER RECOVERY MODE (hit the power button). This has to be done before your phone recognizes that its plugged into the USB. As soon as the phone recognizes its in USB mode it will change from HBOOT to HBOOT with USB (or something like that, you’ll see it at the top of the screen in blue when in HBOOT). Notice: the switch from HBOOT to HBOOT WITH USB is almost instantaneous. Its about 1/2 of 1 second, its that quick. So AS SOON AS YOU feel the USB click (gotta be super fast people), enter recovery mode.

This is exactly where mine fails, I used the Autoroot script and it shows offline, works there. Unfortunately it will never come back online without a reboot. It always says "device not detected" when I try to push the zip and all that. It is driving me nuts, used USB view, PDAnet drivers. This is worlds different than my G1.

Now I have a new replacement MT3GS on its way since mine craps out when using Market or sending texts (before any rooting attempts) Could my phone be "Bad" and thus this is why it won't root? or am I crazy from spending 28 hours so far? Will NOT show up in Recovery EVER, on my pc. Please Help. Yahoo; ixlr82fast4u
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] falken98:
Once it shows offline unplug the USB cable and plug it back in, it should now show in recovery and allow commands to work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] lviv73:
I know that i need to keep update.zip on my SD for Clockwork to work,do i need to keep slideroot.zip for phone to stay rooted when flashing new roms?

Or do i need different slidemeroot.zip for 2.2 than 2.1?Reason im asking is that im on eugene's froyo RC1 and my root is not sticking,superuser keeps asking me for permissions each time i start any root app and yes i checked 'always allow".

Hello a while back I remember seeing a description of someone describing how to push/install stock APKs.. maybe I am wrong, and if that is the case I was wondering if you could adb push the apks into your ROM and install as root when mounted in recovery..

Assuming you are rooted with a LWP capable rom (for the Mytouch 3G Slide):

On your home screen click the 'menu' button, 'wallpaper', and select 'Live Wallpapers'.

Want a LWP capable rom? Try SlideMeRoot or LegendToSlide rom.

G1 Style Contact List?

Is it possible to put the old style contact list on the phone? Or is that build into the rom? I really dislike the new Slide style contact, IMO the G1 was far better, plus the favorites aren't the same as the G1 was. If its rom only is there one out for it yet?

Currently im using the rom that has a hint of EDIT *Enclair* not Eris in it. I looked at the droid x today and it has the old fasion contact list so i know its possible with 2.1

Thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SpudZooka:
nvm, i answered my own question, the froyo rom has just what im looking for.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] magicducksauce:
ah, should've known i needed root. my bad man, i'll root and try again. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turbo23:
Yep, that did work for me. I used WesGarner's Rootme 1&2, I had trouble after it was offline until I unplugged it and it was then recognized. I had such evil problems with my first MT3GS, bought the first day they went on sale. I flashed it to stock and sent it back today. I did discover that one of my data cables was wonky and that was holding me up. Yesterday I rooted the new one and everything went fine EXCEPT for two issues. I knew I wanted to run Eugene's ROM 5 but wanted to put in the Eng first, of course new phone would not let me install the Eng. Will have to send it to phone with commands later. I guess I'll just have to root the dang thing again every time I swap roms. On first Slide I went right to Eng build and STILL Couldn't get into Clockwork recovery! The other issue is my class 6 SD cars simply refused to work, would go offline for a millisecond then it was gone. The stock card worked fine, that kinda sucks.

I'm toying with trying apps2sd but not sure if it is worth the trouble since I don't need 200 apps in my phone. It is doing great with SlideMeRoot5r1 so I can't complain. If anybody can help me figure out how to get Clockwork to run at will, I would appreciate it. I guess it is; downgrade to Eng; Flash back to whatever I want. I'll try it in a few days.

Thanks everybody! sorry bout the ramblin' post and thank you Eugene_373 for answering my direct question so quickly, you the man!

:)

I learned new tricks to get mine to work better each time so it becomes less of a headache. I hope this new slide will work better, first one had serious issues using wifi and getting Market to work, before I even thought about rooting.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
A new rom implies root which is necessary because the stock rom doesn't have LWP capabilities.

You need a rom that supports LWP(s) too.

: )
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turbo23:
Magicducksauce should try Eugene_373's SlideMeRoot5r1, it functions awesomely and has LWP features.

Revelation today!

I installed Eng build on my replacement Slide, it worked. Installed Fastboot from Market. I still had Root. FINALLY rebooted into recovery, applied update.zip, bam...clockworkmod finally loaded! It has been a journey for me but with the right amount of patience, luck and study it can be done. I think my first slide WAS jacked up causing some of my initial problems.

Advice; get the Android tool set, watch the videos. Put the files where the instructions say they go. Get Root then flash the Eng build so you can change roms at will. I used wesgarner's Simple Root (I would unplug USB and replug after phone shows offline, missing from the instructions shown on the forums so far) or Eugene_373's instructions. If your computer can't see the phone when you get it offline, it will not work. You will be wasting your time. After it is offline, check it with "adb devices" command. It should show the device. I know the instructions have been covered a million times but that part was killing me. Use the drivers for the phone found at PDAnet. I used usbdeview (program) to fix the driver issues too. I could NEVER get my class 6 SD card to work on either Slide when trying to Root. ANSWER; use the class 2 the phone came with then copy all your files back to the class 6 after it is rooted, EASY.

Now I'm rooted with functional ClockworkMod Recovery and the ability to format partitions, do backups or restore, etc. Thank you to everybody who worked so hard on this project, especially Eugene_373, Wes and others.

Whats up guys, I'm hoping someone could give me some good advice cause I could use the help.

I had a Touch Pro 2, flashed it all the time easily. Now I just bought a rooted Slide, and ;

1) I have no idea what ROM it is.

2) It's definitely 2.1, no Sense, and Genius Button doesn't work.

BASICALLY, I have no idea how to unroot or root the phone. I read all the threads here but they make no sense to me. I just want to have a perfectly working ROM with Sense/Genius button, that's all. Do you guys recommend that I unroot it to the stock rom or just flash another rom? A lot of the rom threads I opened up seem to have some things not working, I don't wanna deal with that.

If I remember right, TMO and ATT use different frequencies for their 3g. You can get your phone to work but without 3g. Here is a guide if you want to try it out.

Hello , I'm new here. I would like to start by saying thanks to eveyone who contributes to the fourm. You guys helped me so much rooting my g1.

Now I have my slide and had no problem rooting and installing eng thanks to the threads and videos. But I am having a problem flashing a rom to the phone. I have tried three roms and all of them get stuck in boot loop. I went back and reinstalled eng and it load back to the stock rom and if I put a custom rom on it just loops. Is there something im missing? Everything worked first try but installing a rom. I always do factory reset and clear everything before I flash.

What 2.2 ROM are you using? Eugene's kanged CM6 ROM requires you to have wireless location turned on... have you tried that? I know Cyanogen tweeted a few days ago that he got the camera issues worked out for the official CM6 but it hasn't been released yet....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turbo23:
Yep...

Welcome to my world! By any chance are you trying to run any of #Wes ROMs?

It has been well documented that having the Eng installed first makes it boot loop on those. I have cleared out everything and encountered the endless white screen loops too. I gave up and had much success with Eugene's ROMs. Try any of his and you should be good to go. Flash to the newest radio since the Eng version is older. Flash it as an update. You can use an app called Rom Manager, from Market to format your SD card easily for A2sd, BUT back everything on your card up first. If you are trying a Froyo Rom, skip the ext partitions formatting though, that won't work on that flavor. My experience is Froyo uses FAT32 only but will store apps on the microSD just the same.

Hope this helps you somehow,

I posted this in a few other spots, but maybe someone will see it here and can help.

I recently tried to flash the mycy froyo rom, and didnt wipe everything before I did. Needless to say, after it finished and rebooted, I'm now stuck at the MT3GS boot screen. I tried to get into clockwork recovery, but when I run the loop, it sees my device for a second then goes away, so I cant go back in there to wipe and retry. Does anybody have any idea how I can get my phone working again? I think it may not be enable for usb debugging, is there a way to enable it through the adb cmd prompt? I can see my device listed in the adb devices when its at the boot screen.

finally got back into clockwork by using booting into recovery with the usb plugged in, then reflashing the stock rom Wes uploaded

Do android phones have bios updates like pc's?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] voxluna:
Not unless you're an engineer. The radio hardware itself is a separate and isolated processor in the phone, plus its firmware is closely guarded to prevent any modifications whatsoever. This is necessary, from the manufacturer's standpoint, to stay within FCC/Industry Canada/Oftel/whatever specifications.
