before plugging your phone into your computer a single time, can you confirm that you started up USBDeview and uninstalled every single driver related to android, or mytouch or htc etc... Also before ever plugging your phone in a single time did you install htc completely?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Right Click Android Phone - Properties - Driver - Update Driver - Browse My Computer - Let me pick from a list of device drivers (click this, don't give it the path in the upper box) - Have Disk - Browse to yours C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Win7_x64 - click androidusb.inf and select Open - OK - Unclick Show compatible hardware - Select "T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide" - Next - All Done. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] i0nicx:
after getting some sleep and starting fresh, i tried this method again this morning. on the fourth or fifth try i got my slide to stick in offline mode. so then i unplugged it and plugged it back in to get into recovery. lost it, and now im on my 50th or so try to get it back to offline mode.

i need a stiff drink lol

it seems partially a driver issue and also an adb issue i thinks. it connects 'when it feels like it'

i'll report back if i make any progress.

btw im doing this on XP Pro SP3 fully updated

edit: I also noticed when adb does catch the slide, 2 instances of adb are running, then one closes and loses the phone. maybe this will help solve some of the problems
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
You've misunderstood that post. Only one instance of ADB will show when the loop is not running. Once you start the loop, another instance of ADB will show up and disappear many times. This is normal. As long as only one instance is showing before loop, you are fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mtjnkee:
I would just like to say that I have followed every method listed in these forums, achieved root the first try (using the updated update.zip). My problem occured when flashing the eng rom, I lost clockwork,root and now the phone runs like sh!t. Yes, superuser was installed and yes my pc no longer recognizes the phone when searching for adb devices after pushing the first 2 files from the eng flash walkthrough.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
maybe your downloads were corrupted. that's really strange...

man, that really sucks! I am truely sorry...:(

after spending 20 hours or so on rooting, I really feel your pain.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] gofizzle:
After I reboot into recovery mode and then use adb to check for my device I never get it to show up. Just so I am clear when you say 'spamming your device' you mean after reboot and rapidly entering the reboot recovery command, then looking for device with adb devices command. I never get it to show.

Thanks for the reply!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] 2Noob4U:
No devices in adb?

So I had this same problem with my MT3G. Type in "adb devices" kills the last device and it lists connected devices and NONE were listed. Not sure exactly what I did, but did eventually get it working. (I was trying to use the emulator)

Now though I'm having the same problem with my wife's MTS. Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mtjnkee:
Thanks, i am going to give it another go tomorrow, im going to try this spamming method ???? Like i said, i had clockwork twice so far so i think my problem is the files i pushed to get the eng build (forgot SU.apk second go around) and the fact i have the new radio now on an unrooted phone. #BlameWes is about to release a Cyan port i hope, watch androspin for it. been waiting on it, he looks like he has swap, apps2sd, 989mhz and the whole nine kicking in it (fingers crossed). I NEED root, only guy in my area everyone brings an android phone to to fix or root, cant be the only guy with one unrooted =/
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
Yes, I've done this twice now with no different results...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Code3VW:
This is not correct...the OP states to choose the Composite listing.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] akapunchy:
i have a questions and issues going on when i am trying to root my slide. i to have win 7 x64. question: in step 4 u state, "you have dowloaded usbdeview and installed it" i've downloaded v1.7.zip extracted and right-clicked ran as admin on the application file. there was no installing required. is this an issue? question: in step 8 u state, "then 3 options will appear, choose the 3rd one that has Composite in it and choose okay" i only had 2 options to choose from "my htc and myTouch 3g Slide". what do you mean when you said 3rd one that has composite in it? i ended up choosing the 2nd one "3g slide". did i choose wisely? issues: in step 9 it seemed that everything just fell apart when i clicked on recovery my phone came to a screen with a picture of a phone triangle with a red exclamation mark on it. i don't think i saw any changes to my disk drives and usbdeview had no yes no no instead of yes no no no. suggestions?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] madmachinist:
So I will preface my blurb with the random factoid that when in comes to android software/hardware processes, I am essentially a mildly functional retard.

Because of my lack of understanding of the how things work, I will simply relay the facts:

I was able to root my mt3gs after the usual hundreds of failed attempts by using brokensanitys method, with a few differences:

1. On step 8 when attempting to manually assign drivers to the "android 1.0" device in device manager, the list of devices under "android phone" was empty, so... I just skipped step 8(like I said, mildly functional retard).

2. On step 6 of brokensanitys original walk thru, no offline device appeared after going into recovery mode, so.... I just skipped step 6.

I disconnected/reconnected the usb cable (step 7) and my device showed up in recovery mode! I then stopped the loop, and proceeded normally according to the walk thru/video.

Just to clarify, the fact that I skipped steps and somehow magically got the result I desired is a testament to the fact that God takes care of retards.

Thank you to all the Geniuses here in this forum who actually know what the hell is going on, and were able to point me in the right direction. you know who you are.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
This is not that uncommon. I also had days of failed attempts. When I put a different SD card in (which is what solved my issue), mine was recognized immediately in the loop as in recovery mode, never saw offline mode.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] EeanLaw:
I'm thinking this issue is not solved.

I'm interested in seeing if people having success with root are all using their stock micro sd cards and if people having trouble are using them.

Maybe sd card speed has something to do with the loop exploit working?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
its timing more than anything
[myTouch 3G Slide General] EeanLaw:
I don't think it is timing. I got it to work this time and it was obvious it was going to work.

I used only the htc drivers from the sync, no adb install at all, clean computer.

The first time, it showed device unavailable. I rebooted multiple times, it showed device unavailable. (I messed up and though I lost my chance)

So.

I think it is definitely a driver issue that people are running into.

When it worked and the phone was in spl mode, my device manager showed android 1.0 (I did not install any drivers at all)

Previously when it was showing android ADB device in device manager, the device would show unavailable for a second, then it would disappear and you couldn't do anything.

I believe strongly that there is a device driver issue that is preventing people from being able to connect successfully from recovery to have the loop exploit work.

So if you are having lots of trouble, try going to a fresh computer, use the HTC sync drivers ONLY, then use simpleroot and follow the instructions.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nomadrider123:
You might be right for your phone. Have you tried to repeat the process? I used 3 computers running 3 different windows trying all different sd cards and all drivers, clean installs even what you posted. In the development thread there is over 1000 posts. Some ppl swear its the sd card some swear like you its the driver issue. Also a lot of ppl changed their timing and it worked. There is even a post on a different way to root. Bottom like this phone can be hard to root. A lot of dev have tried to come up with THE way to root but the answer is always ambiguous
[myTouch 3G Slide General] TheDjKiDD:
I'm offline!

I got it working all the way to where the List of devices attached show my phone OFFLINE! No amount of unplugging and plugging back in will make it say recovery! What am I doing wrong?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jriv:
Try formatting your sd card through windows I had to do that for mine to work.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] TheDjKiDD:
I'll try this... thanks!

:EDIT:

It went to offline mode first try! Unplugged plugged back in and straight to recovery!!!!!!!!!!

:DOUBLE EDIT:

I got it to work once... the very first time... now I keep getting stuck in offline mode! :sadpanda:

:TRIPLE EDIT:

Now I can't even get it back to offline mode!! I'm failing FAST!

:QUADRUPLE KILL!:

I finally got it back into ClockworkMod Recovery!!!!! What do I do now to get root? I feel retarded....
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jriv:
Do you have a different sdcard I had to use one that didn't come with the phone to get mine to work then format through pc.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] TheDjKiDD:
I have the 2gb one that came in my GFs CLIQ XT

I can't believe it is so random!!!

I can't believe it worked right away soon as I put in a different freshly formated sd card....

i cant find the Podkast app in the app store.. maybe it's because i am somewhere in asia.. can someone post an apk link to it ?(latest version prefered) .. tks
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] existonz09:
help ! come on .. sharing is caring
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hellbringer82:
Yeah i'm looking for this two, can't download it here anymore (it was in the Market).

Apparently the developer is androlib (h**p://***.androlib.com/android.application.com-magmamobile-app-podkast-us-AiDp.aspx)

But there is no direct apk file download there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] hellbringer82:
Found it, you can only download it from the US Market

So either use MarketEnabler (h**p://code.google.com/p/market-enabler/downloads/list) and set fake your provider to '[us]T-Mobile'

Or download the PodKast 1.0.8 beta APK here: h**p://***.mediafire.com/download.php?zceia3299fxkl6x
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
I need to know how to remove apps! I have read some posts and threads but it just says something like

"while in recovery do this:

you@host$ adb shell

$ su

# /system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apk"

Am I supposed to paste in that whole thing? It keeps telling me "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"

Where am I supposed to put this?

I finally got into recovery and I have on idea what to do!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x.v_:
Are you rooted?

if you are,

type

su<hit enter key>

/system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apk<hit enter key>

Bye bye CityID. :D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htc_woe_is_me:
It's GONE. THANKS!

can i use that same string for other apps and just change the names of the apps before the .apk?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnybags:
I'd hold off for right now if i were you.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heavensblade23:
Why? Root works fine, it's compatible with the upcoming NAND unlock, and it's 100% reversible
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainTaco:
That'll only work if you already had the NAND protection removed. As soon as he reboots CityID.apk will be restored, unfortunately. With NAND still enabled you need to be in recovery to remove apps permanently.

However, will work great once the upcomming NAND Protection Removal process comes out, Thanks unrEVOked.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmcd72:
He says he's in recovery, so if he is - CityID.apk is gone forever and will definitely not be there after a reboot or a hard reset if he followed the instructions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainTaco:
Missed the "in recovery" part. I have A.D.D. if you make a title with more than... let's say 2 capitalized words, expect me to read only the caps, as they are more intriguing... So for me this post read "SOMEONE PLEASE, RIGHT NOW!@"

... A.D.D. it makes life more enjoyable!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Honestly77:
Actually going off of what you said it would have read like;

"CSOMEONE PLEASE RRIGHT NOW!@

It's fascinating that your mind adds proper punctuation when it's seeing only fragments of what you read.

:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnybags:
why? because someone had to explain that he had to press enter after each line of:

you@host$ adb shell

$ su

# /system/bin/rm /system/app/CityID.apk"

That's generally a good sign that you shouldn't be telling someone that it's ok to be poking around and deleting things.

That's why.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainTaco:
Hahaha. Well you know... how it read... in my head? We'll just go with, my mind reads the pretty and distracting capitalized letters, and adds what it needs to make it make sense... yeah... that's it...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paratox:
all tools and all knowledge you need you can find in this forum.

don`t be lazy and search like everyone else here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohanevindra:
well..forget about the tools then..at least tell me how to get a stock theme back??

i did search and all that comes up are other threads about various themes, with about 100 replies each...

forgive me then for thinking that these forums were here to help..clearly you're not the helping type...if you cant be bothered helping, best thing is to not reply and wait for someone else to reply who will be happy to help..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] katiepea:
what do you want stock theme or stock rom? you can just flash a rom with the stock theme over top of what you have. nandroid first of course. this is the most obvious/clear solution i can think of. I.E. if you're running cyanogen with a morph or a theme and you want to get back to the stock theme, just reflash the CM rom over top of what you have, all settings will be saved.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paratox:
if you want mod themes/roms, you are failing at the first mission. you have to learn how to use google or the forum search so you are able to find the info you need. it is normal to read threads with more then 100 postings, in this threads are often a lot of informations. i did it the same way. if you want something, do something for it. why should someone else do the searching for you?

https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en

read this. if you don`t understand something, search in forums. if you really find no info after a long search, you can ask in this subforum. ;)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yohanevindra:
i know where to find themes..i can see about themes on the forum at modaco, i can see the themes here, i can see the special thread with all the morphs..i know how to use google and the search....

i wasnt asking anyone to do the searching for me..on normal forums, you ask a question and someone who knows answers..you dont expect someone to search and tell you the answer..on forums if i see a question i can answer, i answer it..i dont tell that person to go search for it..

anyway..enough about that..thanks for the link :)

I need more tabs for Sense : Chat tab(base on Palringo or Nimbuzz), News tab(base on RSS Hub or similar soft). Can anyone make it possible?:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lemonspeakers:
so far, no one has been able to edit manila to add more tabs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Really? How about the GPS tracker tab? Or you can even use Manila today page to have any today plugin on separate tab!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Yes, you can have extra tabs in Sense, as you've pointed out. The problem is that it's a massive task and is fraught with difficulty, which is why it's only been done a handfull of times.

You're going to have to settle with finding apps that you like. For chat and news/rss apps you should be able to find ones that can run in the background and notify you of updates, so you're only 1 click away from new info.

That's the best you're gonna get I'm afraid.
[EVO 4G General] motoridersd:
I noticed this the first day I charged my EVO. In my quiet bedroom at night, I can hear a high pitched sound when I plug the charger into the phone. Sometimes the sound goes away after a few seconds, but I can always hear it as soon as I plug the charger in.

Sometimes it will remain there all night, and to get rid of it I just unplug it and plug it back in.

Have heard similar sounds on other electronics, but I don't think I had heard it when charging any of my other cell phones.

I think I have a special EVO that calls dogs. :cool:
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
Yep, mine gets noisy at about 98% full. That's because the switch mode regulator is being forced to output a higher voltage to get that last few percent and the frequency it switches at can sometimes be audible.
[EVO 4G General] Pseudo99:
I get this as well, usually when battery is mostly/completely charged.
[EVO 4G General] Brandon168:
I upgrade to Netarchy's 4.3.4 havs-more sbc yesterday and heard this for the first time last night.

I woke up around 1am to hear what sounded like an old television turned on, that really high pitched sound that some can hear (some apparently can't). My phone was at 100% and trickle charging at 3 mA. I pulled the charger and the sound immediately stopped.

I've used SBC kernel's before, including Netarchy's 4.3.2, but I've not experienced this.

If I can squeeze a few more hours per day out of the Evo I don't mind buying a new battery every 6 months, but I don't want to damage the phone (or me).

Anyone concerned about this using SBC kernels?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
Did you even read the thread? All these people have that problem without a SBC kernel....
[EVO 4G General] knowledge561:
Its the goblins getting ready to pounce on you...

Sent from Darth Stewies' Evolution aboard the Death Star!
[EVO 4G General] Brandon168:
I did indeed. I was making a note that I'm concerned since SBC is pushing the battery harder than stock. Also, I've had my Evo for a year and I just now heard this after swapping kernels. It seems a strange coincidence.

I'm hoping some other SBC'ers chime in. I'm hoping it goes way..
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
SBC wouldn't cause humming... that is the charging circuits in your phone... batteries don't hum. SBC may push it harder, but it wouldn't cause this. I have no hum using sbc
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Its just vibrations, I have tons of chargers, some do it some don't. There's nothing wrong with it. Unless it gets abnormally hot I wouldn't worry about it.

Good to hear. Thanks!
[EVO 4G General] Buff McBigstuff:
This thread was opened long long before SBC even existed.
[EVO 4G General] strap97:
I only get the high pitch noise after my battery is fully charged. I do have a sbc kernel installed. My charger was making the noise, but as soon as I pressed the power button to wake the phone up it stopped, and started again when my phone went back to sleep.

I've been working on a flashlight app for non-rooted phones. I have been able to recreate the one that costs $0.99 (I think? I'm not exactly sure, I don't own it.). Sadly, I have the same flaw. I can't get it to exit correctly, so you have to reboot. I'm still working on it, and haven't quite given up (although I think I have concluded this exploits a higher level bug that I just can't control).

6/17/10 - I think I've concluded there is no way to shut it off. I believe this is a bug in the camera software that allows this to happen. A method just hangs forever. (All of this is I think :P) Sorry guys, you probably wont see anything better (w/o root). :(

Yea I tried the same thing. Stuck at the exact same problem.

I am by no means an expert Android dev, but I have tons of .NET experience. I used the example in the SDK, then just added the parameters to turn on the LED when taking a picture. Then it freezes and it goes to hell from there.

I tried threading/etc. No luck, I stopped working on it. Plus now there is the root, so why not just do that and use the Lamppu Application.

Thanks for trying anyways :)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] x.v_:
That's exactly where I am! takePicture just freezes after a few pictures I believe. I also tried threading, no luck.

But I don't have .NET experience, I'm just a noob. ;)

Yeah, I know now there's root Lamppu is better, but I'm personally not rooted. I figured I'd just release it because no one else has except the guy who is trying to sell it... which is just rude lol.
