Update.zip?

How do i restore this backup, rename it to update and flash from the normal recovery, i have a mix of the original rom and the engineering rom preventing root (lost clockwork by not installing the SU.apk during the Eng flash). i need to take it back, anyone out there???
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
No problem. Again, I do appreciate your efforts.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
I did a restore on my engineering flashed unit this morning with this image and clockwork recovery. Everything is back the way it should be, boots right up in to a never before used phone with all version numbers the way they should be.

Now I have to root the thing again! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
You need to get in to clockwork recovery, which is currently loaded by the update.zip you use to root your phone. Once you are in there you select nandroid and restore, then flash these backup images to your phone.

If you get to the point you need to do it I would be happy to provide more detailed instructions! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
You need to get in to the Clockwork Recovery to restore this. Follow the directions in the root how-to, when you apply that provided update.zip that is what gets you in to clockwork recovery.

Copy these files on to your sdcard (first, before anything else), get in to Clockwork Recovery, select nandroid, select restore, and point it to these images.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kcbboy:
ok this sounds totally noob but I'm not sure what you mean by "point it to these images"
[myTouch 3G Slide General] poetik517:
all except for the radio right? in a previous post, you mentioned the radio update needed to be reapplied and was not included. is that correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
Thanks for your efforts. Definitely appreciate your research and testing.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] serialtoon:
I never meant to keep it around. I actually only bought it because i had sold my Nexus One about a week and a half ago. But after messing with the slide and having it rooted, it will be missed. Being that i will not be keeping it, i dont mind being a guinea pig for most slide based experiments ;-)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] stangri:
Uhm... I see iPhone4 in your future... And it's not good... :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sk8rbebop:
Yeah... What phone are you getting instead?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Correct. I had already reupdated the radio on mine, if you haven't done so you would need to apply the radio update seperatly for it to be stock.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kcbboy:
I would assume you apply the radio first while you still have root access?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kcbboy:
what is the splash 1 partition? and are you saying we can't go back to stock at this point in time?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] adambenjamin:
Do we flash this as we would a ROM, or do we do this through the nandroid backup menu? I tried through nandroid backup and it wouldn't take. I didn't rename it. Came to the forums to search for solutions when I saw that we have tether so I got sidetracked. How did you load this image?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
It is the image when you first boot up, it can not be modified at all right now (so it can't be anything other than stock), that was just there for future reference in case it is able to be modified in future if we can get an SPL with security off.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
I messed up the instructions on the first page (I have now corrected it), you should unpack the files in the zip to a directory called clockworkmod/backup/factory on your sdcard, I had the directory name wrong!

Let me know if you still have an issue with getting it to restore.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] wdfowty:
I can confirm this works with my slide running slidemeroot3. Completely stock. Got myself a nexus, so i'm returning the slide. :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] gerelee:
i did the stock rom restore but now my 'genius button' app doesn't work very well anymore.....not that i use it that much, but before i rooted it actually worked as advertised (for the most part). now when i try to use it for a text message it will only open a text message to the correct person but the message field will be blank....very strange.

i tried a reset but the result was the same....any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mitchgdodge:
Is it worth keeping..

Should I een keep my MT3GS, I mean honestly If I did keep it, I feel like it probably will not last me that long anyways.?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sl0play:
Thanks for this!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] srtpro4mance:
For some reason everytime I try to nandroid this back to stock I get a "MD5 mismatch"

:confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] alexxgee914:
how can i get splash partition 1?

i flashed the froyo rom from eugene.

but decided to go back.

flashed the newest radio.

and now i guess i need sp1 so i can do nandroid.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Mr.franco:
OK, so given the fact that we are restoring it back to "factory" settings, once we unroot the phone, Will we be able to get Over the Air updates like all of the people who never rooted their phone? sorry if it sounds kind of noobish, but i was just wondering, and noticed that nobody had asked. lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TheDjKiDD:
MD5 ERROR

I get

Checking MD5 sum...

MD5 mismatch!

I checked the MD5 of all the files and they match the ones in nandroid.md5
[myTouch 3G Slide General] marty22877:
ok, i just tried this and it failed with "error while flashing boot image!" and then it wont boot and i have to restore from a previous nandroid backup, anyone else have this?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] migueltherocker:
What's the difference between restoring this and using the ESPRIMG provided by Wes?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TheDjKiDD:
Do I have to load the OLD radio?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] maruutah:

When I try to nandroid the factory image I get this error " Error while flashing boot image " any ideas on what is causing this?

This is a dumb question probably but when you say unpack do you mean extract them from their zip state or just leave them as is and just put them on your sd?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] HungrySneeze:
What do you mean by " Ensure you have flashed the factory version of the radio and splash1 partition prior to returning to this image for everything to be factory "

can you please elaborate on that? im a noob at this :/

Anyone know where to get the "flashed the factory version of the radio". Going to set it to stock then root. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kufudo:
Yeah, I've gotta say...the work that goes on on XDA is great, but the guides posted here leave a LOT to be desired.

Everyone assumes the reader can connect the dots and fill in all the missing gaps, but remember a lot of people rooting these phones only do it once, and are not android developers.

Please make an effort to provide complete instructions, even if that means repeating stuff already posted in other threads. You can't expect a random noob who comes here via a Google search to know the complete history of the device and where all the different bits and pieces can be found, and what everything means.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] :
OK... things have changed a bit... I am good on flashing the stock nand... but what about s-off? any clue how to get it back on ?

I have to send my phone back within the next few days, so I was going to try to follow this. However, it looks like the link is no longer valid. Could you repost a new link or point me in the direction where I could find a valid one, please? Thanks :]
[myTouch 3G Slide General] pettigrew95:
You could just go to the mytouch 3g slide section on HTC's website and download the official froyo update and follow the instructions. That will break root and make the phone stock with T-Mo's official MT3GS Froyo.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mercmaid:
I'm assuming that update won't void my warranty when I send it back?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] pettigrew95:

I'm using the DamageR 5.0 rom on my hero right now. I'm trying to get the HTC Music Widget and Lock screen back on the phone. This is what i have done thus far.

I pushed the HTC lock screen back to the phone. Now how do I reset the defaults on the old lock screen to get the HTC one working? I cant seem to find out how to get it to work. (I'm trying to use the lock screen that cam standard with the hero and sense)

Also I pushed back the HTCMusicWidget.apk back to system/app and I cant get the widget to come up. I've reloaded sense and rebooted but still cant get it to show up... I like the music widget that comes with sense and want to use that one.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riddley:
Lately when I try to turn off USB storage, the phone spins forever. Is my card going bad? If I hit any keys (home/back etc) it shows the boot animation(!) and then displays something like "The system is busy" with Wait or Kill Process buttons. Neither seems to do anything.

Anyone know what's up?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generic.imitation:
I talked to a vzw rep last night about my replacement incredible. It's having the same problems as the last one. I've only had it 2 days. I'm having a third replacement shipped to me, should be here around July 16th due to back orders.(but you all knew that)

My question is can i replace my incredible with another phone? Like I paid 300 for the incredible, and I used the 30 day worry free guarantee for a replacement, got the same phone (incredible), used another 30 day worry free (lol), and now I have a 3rd device on it's way. If I'm having the same issues with this phone, can I just replace it with another phone? Most notably the new motorola phone coming out. I had a Moto Droid, and never had issues like this, so I figure I'll go back to motorola if it's possible.

I called vzw and the rep said "we can't do that sir, because you had your moto droid replaced with the incredible" But I didn't have my moto droid replaced with an incredible, I still have it on my account, just someone else uses it now. She said that she doesn't know because the phone isn't even out yet.

so, did I confuse anyone? Hopefully someone that knows about this can help. Thanks for reading!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB Smoka:
You have 30 days to replace a new phone that you get with a different model phone. Since all you did was replace the same phone twice because it wasn't working correctly then you should still have the 30 day option available to you. It only makes sense.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generic.imitation:
when i was with alltel and had a tp1 it was replaced a few times due to overheating and crashing all the time, and they gave me a tp2.

It just seems me and htc phones don't get along lol.

this incredible is a great phone in some areas, but horrible in others. I'm not a picky person, but I can't deal with my phone constantly shorting out on the headphone jack and going all nutty, and starting voice dialing by itself and skipping tracks and pausing my music while i'm in the car. And that problem with the screen being non-responsive in the car mount is really bad on this replacement. Even plugged into the aux line on my stereo I figured it would be grounded somewhat, but the screen never works. The first phone didn't have that problem.

so to summarize: inc 1, horrible 3.5mm headphone jack issues when plugged into car, but no real complaints about screen.

inc 2, horrible screen responsiveness, 3.5mm headphone jack not as bad, but really annoying still.

After the vzw lady told me they couldn't replace it with a different phone I said, "well how much do you want to spend on shipping charges? If I'm having the same problem with the same phone I'll just keep returning it."

@ KB Smoka: That's what I thought too, but she said only the first 30 days I can replace the phone with a different one. I hope that isn't the case. If I have to replace it again I give up...

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
would also be interested in this... i like the wallpaper gallery for choosing the ... choices. :p

I suppose if i knew what folder contained them I could just move them?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiggy2cents:
well to get ringtones on the phone you put them in media/audio/ringtones. So the wallpaper gallery might go into /media/pictures/wallpaper(s) or /media/wallpaper(s). That would be my guess
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingdazy:
that would be great, if those folders existed, but they dont.

I know there must be some place the WPs that came with this ROM are stored, not on the SD card... the wallpaper gallery is accessing something... somewhere...

but i'll be ****ed if I can find it.

probably total obvious n00b mistake, i'm sure, but I am stumped.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiggy2cents:
I had to make the media folder for the ringtones. Search how to put custom ringtones on android. My guess is the wallpaper gallery would be done in the same fashion
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarbonKang:
Sorry to tell you guys you are wrong. I know for a fact it has to be in the Launcher.apk (or what ever launcher you are useing.

If you put it in there and rename the image to one of the other images in there it will work. kinda a work around. :p

hello everyone today i took time and "toasted" part1&2 my EVO and at the part to restore my backup it said none was there. so i checked the sd and it wasnt even a nandroid folder there. i wonder if this is good or bad or did i really need to flash that restore back. any advice or consulting would be appreciated thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
As long as everything went well, you are fine. Just flash your custom rom of choice, I used Flipz.

If you need to revert to stock you can flash a rooted stock ROM from the wiki or you can just RUU if you want to undo the root.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riassan:
the ruu from the original toast post for rooting? if i did that would it be the same way as the first part of the guide or second. basically so i could start over from a new phone basically. or can u suggest another route to get it back to fresh out the box? any input is appreciated. thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danknee:
No, flash any custom ROM from recovery or pick one of the "stock with root" ROMs. You should try out the Flipz or Damage ROM in my opinion.

To get to recovery from your console type

adb reboot recovery

Otherwise, make sure you don't have any of the auto flashing image files on the root of your sdcard, then turn off the phone, turn on the phone while holding power down, wait a sec, arrow down to recovery, in recovery wipe data and davik, then flash from .zip, select the ROM .zip you download and let it run.

All custom ROMs are located here >> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC Evo ROMs

As long as you are rooted and can boot your phone you could install ROM Manager from Market. The free version will allow you to download the Flipz or Damage ROM, then it will give you the option of installing for you. Be sure to select to wipe before the install.

You will be up and running a brand spanking new custom ROM after ROM Manager has its way with your phone.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P_Dub_S:
So title explains it pretty well. I'm in the process of encoding all my Blu-Rays into my phone and my encodes are coming in just under 4gb so I'm okay there with the Fat32 limit but the media player wont play any of my files that are over 2gb. I just split them in half for now as a workaround but I was wondering if there's a way to modify the existing media player or perhaps a free market one that will work?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbm85:
Unfortunately, Android apps cannot access files over 2GB in size. So you'll have to keep splitting them up. Or use a lower bitrate :p I've found that 2Mbps with two passes is plenty for a nice, crisp picture.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Digitaldreamer7:
Just to let you all know, HTC is sending out C&D letters to people hosting original roms.

This isn't an attack on the android community, they just dont want you giving out the HTC parts of the UI. (sense skin, music app etc..) So if anyone here is hosting it on their personal website/server just be aware.

Google it there should be stories up I read mine on gizmodo. Which they skewed it to sound like "hacking" your roms is illegal, but, we all know android is open source, the only thing they have rights over is the HTC coded portion of the rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] r0man:
They only seem to be targeting leaks for phones not for sale at retail iirc.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xenoletum:
I believe what I had read was that they were putting the kibosh on ROM sites that were hosting their official roms. They have no problem with people posting roms that are modified in any way, however they do have a problem with people posting up the official roms that they didn't make any changes to. Perhaps they do have a problem with the official HTC parts being re-distributed, but who knows. All that might have to happen is something similar to what users had to do with the Google apps, install them seperatly because Google wanted them out of Cyanogen's ROMs.

Ok, so I'm on vacation in Florida on Marco Island which on T-Mobile's coverage map is like, SUPER equipped for data (well at least from what I saw which was a deep purple). The problem is, on my phone all I'm getting is full bars of GPRS (A G right next to my bars) and I'm not getting 3G for some reason. At where I live, in Downers Grove Illinois, I get 3G everywhere so I'm really curious as to why I can't get 3G when I have GPRS in a well covered area.
[HD2 General] djdanska:
Worth a shot since it happened to me. Go into band selection. Mine lost 3g before and nothing was selected for gsm or wcdma. It hit auto and it found it after a reset. Did that like 2 times. If you do a network scan, i would see both 3g and 2g networks but none i did would put it on 3g. This was not with stock rom though. (I live just outside downers grove. Love the area.)
