nvm watchign now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
So just to try and log some of this:

I've tried this under ubuntu - about 40 times and I only see the device between clicking recovery and waiting for the device with the triangle.

I've tried windows 7 64 bit - using the htc sync device driver. When I boot into boot loader i see the android phone /adb device driver in device manager. If i'm running loop.bat I see the device at the same time i would under ubuntu - right after clicking the power button on recovery. Still no go on it lasting as a device while in the actual recovery mode (after click power volume up to see option list)

about to try on a windows xp 32bit laptop and see if i can't get something different :(

- really really wants root.

Nice thats should be perfect for those that had trouble going through the step by step, nice job,
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Personally, I hate the customized Sense UI stuff that pollutes this device. The only part of the default UI I actually like is the Friend Steam widget. I think the hardware is great, though, which is why I bough the phone. I like the keyboard; I like the button layout; I like the size and weight as well.

So I installed ADW.Launcher, replacing 99% of the Sense crap on the phone and all has been well. Now we just need to figure out a way to...

Mount /system as read/write so I can remove the bloatware entirely

Get Amon_RA to make a custom recovery for this handset

Get Wes Garner to crank out a port of CM5 for this handset
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
I just did the exact thing. Got home, removed all drivers, downloaded and installed HTC Sync. It keeps defaulting to a "Portable Device" in Device Manager. I am at a loss. It blinks for just a second that it found a device, then goes blank.

Is this the right way to try the reboot/loop method:

1 The phone is in recovery at the menu, and connected to the PC

2 On the computer, I go to command prompt and stop the loop

3 On the phone, I tell it to reboot

4 I then do adb reboot bootloader in command prompt.

5 That puts me in Fastboot, so I go to bootloader

6 Start loop in command prompt

7 enter recovery

8 wash, rinse repeat

Is this correct? I am thinking maybe I need to disconnect/reconnect between 5 and 6....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nomadrider123:
Eugene what you do you do very well thank you so much :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mparson:
still no go

I'm getting what a few others are reporting, does anyone know how to work around it?

(on a Mac, so the output is a touch different), but during the loop.sh process, I get a bunch of (expected) empty output for the List of devices attached, then just before the Triangle/! logo, it lists the phone as offline a bunch of times, then it goes back to the empty list:

....

List of devices attached

List of devices attached

List of devices attached

HT05KPS04284 offline

(repeated 75 times in the last run)

...

List of devices attached

List of devices attached

^C

-mp
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] brokensanity:
I get a similar situation, except, if I don't ^C in time, it goes into recovery mode. I kill the loop when it is listed as offline, then unplug/replug my USB, then when I try to push the ota.zip to the sdcard, it fails:

$ ./adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip

failed to copy 'ota.zip' to '/sdcard/update.zip': Permission denied

So... I am a little lost as to which point I am fouling up the process.

Edit: OH!

I ran the update.zip, let it fail, then I was able to push the OTA.zip.

Try that if you're having issues.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zippa71385:
ok bro I got this... you will kick yourself in the face like I did... so go into your device manager in windows: start>control panel>system>device manager>select the yellow triangle which should be uner a usb device android 1.0... then update this maunaly and select from list... look for the android drivers for adb should be first few... BAMN! all done
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
i could be wrong

but from the video it doesn't appear that it matters how fast you ctrl c or kill the process. its supposed to stay listed in devices.

the problem we are having is that its only listed in devices for the briefest of seconds and then when recovery finishes loading its no longer in devices.

am I correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zippa71385:
New problem

nvm I downloaded the old zip twice and now I see the file is 5mb not 4.3mb... uggh...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zippa71385:
you need to update your "android 1.0" drivers... I had the same problem
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mparson:
I thought maybe I wasn't hitting ^C quickly enough, so I expanded on loop.sh to look like this:

#!/bin/bash

while :

do

found=$(adb devices | grep -sq offline && echo $?)

if [ "x$found" = "x0" ]; then

break

fi

done

So that it breaks as soon as it sees the device.

Still a no-go.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
which driver are you using? the one from htc sync?

-J
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zippa71385:
yes, it just needed manually updated through device manager...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] schnem:
Download link in OP is not working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
ok so i'm following the video and I start the loop then I boot into recovery but it still says "device attached" or whatever it is. It doesn't change like it's suppose to. Also when the bubble pops up saying android 1.0 it prompts me to install something but I hit cancel. Am I doing something wrong here?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] squidbutt:
ok well mine never comes up :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sutiban:
hrmmm... **** it, I need to sleep...

Amazon MP3 store keeps coming back from the dead after deleting it.

Root & eng release...

Way too tired to try and decipher the logcat output right now :-/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
This is not my issue. All my drivers appear to be working normal. If I had the yellow triangle, then I would not even get ADB working when the phone is booted normally. I am having the same problem as everyone else, with the offline device found for a second. The drivers are good. It's only once I leave bootloader and enter recovery, the ADB Device disconnects/disappears, and then something along the lines of a mass storage device returns. I just need to confirm that I must keep doing to loop/reboot/repeat method properly...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Z51:
my pc stays stuck on installing android ADB interface.

it finds the driver and has been loading for 15 minutes now :(

i get to the 5 minute mark on kings vid and when I typ adb devices it shows up as blank

what can I do?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Think I am gonna give up on the adb method for a while, or until someone else figures out how to keep the device seen as offline...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zippa71385:
Im rooted now!...

the last thing ill say is make sure you dont start loop till just before you go into recovery... sounds stupid but i tested both ways and it wont find you if you have it running way before
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] orrorin:
I'm in the exact same boat. I guess until someone figures out this error then we're out of luck. I tried it probably 40 times.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
Holy fark I think i got it!

Okay, here is how i fixed it for people stuck where I was.

I deleted all my android adb device drivers

I used the sdk updater to download and install the newest android usb driver (r3).

Followed the instructions and the first time it stayed connected!

BTW: This is my 64 bit windows 7 computer. Did not get it to work on my Ubuntu distribution. (same machine different boot)

WOOHOO!

EUGENE YOU ROCK!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
One thing I noticed is when on the bootloader screen, I have "Android ADB Device", but when the phone is booted normally, I have "ADB Phone" in device manager, so not sure if I have a conflicting driver.

- So I've removed all drivers while phone was connected in recovery,

- Booted to bootloader and removed all drivers found when there.

- Removing all drivers when the phone is connected while booted normally

- Removing all HTC stuff

- Removing the entire SDK folder

- Will hunt down any potential driver files in the Windows System dirs

- Will also try a different port on the back of my PC... Back in my support days, I had learned that the rear USB ports are the "true" ports, the other are hubbed ports, and can cause goofyness sometimes.

- Then try again...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
where do you get the android drivers? everytime I begin the root process it says android 1.0 drivers in the bubble on the task bar and then it prompts me to install? i can't get past the loop process and i'm guessing that's what's holding me back.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] blkw0lf:
It sounds like your drivers are okay.

adb is not supposed to run in recovery mode. The loop method is basically trying to force a memory or buffer overflow that locks adb in it's running state as it comes up, see's that the phone is booting into recovery and then supposed to shut down again.

That's why you see the device for a short time and then it disappears again.

The problem is, it's just random. You have to keep repeating the process until it works.

Though as it's been stated before, starting the adb loop right before you tell the phone to boot into recovery seems to increase the chances of it working dramatically.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Thats a much better explanation... wish I had that 5 minutes ago before removing everything :) But I should definitely be starting the loop just before hitting enter on recovery right? Because it seems like the drivers don't load for it until just after the MyTouch splash loads.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
fermunky:

just wanted to say, I thought my adb drivers were fine as well. I guess they were fine, but not for our purposes.

I could adb reboot recovery my phone, it appeared briefly when i was trying to root it, etc. Windows and Linux.

It wasn't until after i removed all the drivers and then re-installed only the brand new driver - the (r3) one you get from the sdk setup utility.

Then my phone came up under devices as Tmobile mytouch slide.. and the next time i tried to loop process it ****ing worked! I nearly crapped my pants to see that damn device name running down my screen.

This might be the first time I'm happy i didn't delete my windows 7 install from this computer.

Hope that helps you!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] goodwinm:
I am always able to get to the point where it will receive the ota.zip but when I go to push the update.zip it always errors out. I get 30K/s transfer rates, it takes 2 minutes to send the ota.zip, so maybe its a driver problem. Running Windows 7 64 bit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
mine says offline for a second then dissapears, the only driver i have isntalled are w/e windows 7 dowloads automatically and pdanet driver. What driver should i have isntalled? I just did a fresh adb install too from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719 . With the Slide powered on it finds it perfectly, when I go do the root thing it says offline for a few seconds and even if i catch it there it doesnt really work

Faylix where do i get that driver?? r3
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] faylix:
U need the brand new (r3) driver from sdk-tools in the root of your android sdk directory.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
where do I download the driver from the sdk page?? cant find

edit 1 GOT it http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

edit 2 great no option for windows 7,

edit 3 blah i installed an old sdk lol this is too much form work computer will try at home
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0adki111:
I would definitely be interested in an Ubuntu write up. That's basically all I use. I am seriously too lazy to go downstairs and make my windoze install boot.... ugh.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Code3VW:
This is still not working for me....

I suspect it has to do with the drivers for the phone. In device manager I have:

Android Phone > Android ADB Device

When I right click and go to properties, and then click on the Driver tab, this is the version currently in use:

Provider: Google, Inc.

Date: 8/11/2009

Version: 2.0.10.2

However, I have gone to C:\Android\ and ran SDK Setup.exe and have downloaded revision 3 of the driver.

I'm guessing revision 3 should have version 3.x.x.x not 2.0.10.2.

So...then I went to http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html and followed the instructions for upgrading the driver for vista, and still no dice...

Any ideas? This is on Win 7 Pro 64 bit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sleef:
I had a problem pushing the update, initially. It would come up saying access denied but, after a few attempts, it finally worked. I now have ROOT! BLOODY ROOT!

Anyway, what's the best way to get rid of bull**** stock apps like Amazon mp3? It hurts my soul to look at it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TRF-Inferno:
It took quite a bit of time, but I finally got root. Thank you Eugene373 and kingofyo1.

If the phone would show up in recovery under ADB devices consistently, it wouldn't have taken as long. I spent nearly an hour alone just rebooting the phone in recovery to get it to show up.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
+1 I would love an Ubuntu write-up.

I've been doing a little testing to make sure my adb is setup right (as I don't have this phone yet, maybe this weekend :)) and am not seeing a loop file anywhere in the sdk.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Code3VW:
Ok, so I uninstalled the driver from Device manager, restarted the computer, plugged in the phone, and watched what driver it installed...it installed an Android 1.0 driver...

GRRR!!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
so how do you VERIFY you actually have root after you do this?

I did everything, installed the superuser.apk when the phone rebooted, saw the icon on my apps list, click it and it's just a black screen with SUPERUSER PERMISSIONS
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] squidbutt:
mine still isnt detected as offline etc so i cant go on can someone help me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kcbboy:
how do you get revision 3? it's not popping up as an available package for me...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sleef:
More questions! Loud noises!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0adki111:
Ok guys I was able to get it to root with ubuntu if anyone is interested. It's basically all the same, but I am noob enough to not know how to get a .bat file to run in linux so what I did was manually hit enter with "adb devices" typed in terminal and then the up arrow key and enter again over and over real fast until I got the desired result and everything else worked out fine. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Install a root app like Titanium or Cachemate and run it to see if Superuser asks for permission.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ha! A manual loop! Nice
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Sleef:
Christ. Good call. I do not have root. I have sweet **** all. I also have to leave my cave, er, house for the night. Tomorrow, then.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0adki111:
Haha ya, kinda lame but hey it got the job done.

Also for checking for root you can just adb shell then su and see if superuser.apk asks for permission. I guess installing an app is easier for most.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
YAY I GOTS ROOT

lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
fyi, titanium wont work because it neesd busybox to work.. our roms in their most natural state dont have that set of instructions
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ooh, good point... But doesn't Titanium install a version of busybox if you don't have it already?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
negative, just tried it.. refused to work even though i has root, verified root actually... so i dunno on the titanium, but i do have an engineering build rom installed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] duce95:
install wireless tether
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TRF-Inferno:
Easiest way of testing for root is to get 'Terminal Emulator' from the Market. Run it, and it should take you to a blue window.

Type on the phone:

su

...and hit Enter. A little window should pop up, asking for permission. Select yes and you should see a '#' on the blue console window. That pound symbol verifies you have root access.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stangri:
Thanks to eugene737 for the method, kingofyo1 for the video and yostinso for Mac instructions and some clarifications.

Got root, already have restored some apps with Titanium which I was too lazy to configure after manual market install.

So is the clockwork recovery now permanently in the phone? Any idea if we'll get RA's custom recovery? Can't wait until Wes publishes some custom ROMs, Espresso might have been a sweet idea, but the implementation/themes of the MT3GS suck!

PS. If you click on the Problems button in the main Titanium window it allows you to download and install busybox.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] heybobitsme:
Ah, I see. I asked because I remember a donut ROM I had and I downloaded a version of busybox from the app with the "problems" button.

Edit: stangri beat me to it ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] vdub804:
just got home from work finally I get to root
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] riles22:
ahhh i've rebooted and tryed to get "offline device" to stay up into recovery mode at least 200 hundred times and have reinstalled drivers multiple times :( i think i'm done for today... :mad:
[EVO 4G General] Mu5ic92:
im wondering if maybe this is only my device. i am coming from a hd2 where when typing the haptic feedback was fairly high and noticeable. now when i type on the evo the haptic feedback or the vibration it gives off when typing is very low. to a point where some times it feels as if there is no vibration at at. the settings are set for it to work but still if feels faint. any ideas?
[EVO 4G General] icantdrawanime:
I've noticed this too... Sometimes I dont feel any vibration, i just hear a rattling from the phone... Not sure if this is a defect
[EVO 4G General] sk63:
No it's pretty mild for me too. Seems stronger when the phone rings though
[EVO 4G General] Mu5ic92:
anybody know if theres a way to increase it a bit. personally i like the feedback it gives off when typing
[EVO 4G General] Zion800:
I noticed this as well. My friend has an Incredible and the haptic feedback is much stronger.
[EVO 4G General] mrxistenz:
I just replaced my 002 evo with an 003 and I must say the haptic is completely wack on the new device. There are times where it just clicks and barely gives it any feedback. I'm hoping it will loosen up and start working better over time. Sigh.
[HD2 General] blank89:
So you go onto htc and see the latest hotfixes, you notice theres a new one to fix the bugs and the lag in your music app. Your thinking great! but when its installed and your leo restarts your left to find that htc sense 2.5 is wiped COMPLETELY from your memory existance. Whats a guy to do? I even called the htc hotline and all they had to say was go hard reset my handset. Do I stay htc's ***** and roll over or can someone help? Does anyone else even have this problem?
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
are you sure its just not turned off?
[HD2 General] blank89:
checked, can u tell me how to turn it on so i can verify if I'm doing it right?
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
Start>settings>Home>items.
[HD2 General] blank89:
Lol and yes I'm a noob thanks! I can't believe though that the htc helpline didn't even ask that, they just said I've to wipe it :s
[General Questions and Answers] treasurmu:
Hello

I'm a fan of your site, I have a nexus that operates under one froyo 2.2. SETCPU I installed it also works very well but the camera does not work, every time I try to record a video it restart the phone. But the side photo runs smoothly. What to do?
[General Questions and Answers] Badwolve1:
I heard that they were still compiling and fixing certian drivers for Froyo builds, maybe they haven't completed the Video drivers yet (?)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dpk0875:
this morning i updated juice defender and i have hard time telling if it really is working or not

this was my setting and my result from before update;

x2.36; apn for 2min every 30min, leave apn enabled while>10kb/30s, keep apn disabled while battery's below 15%, leave apn enabled while screen on

after the update all settings are the same except now there's an option to turn on 3g only after the screen has been unlocked, which i have enabled and the widget is only showing about x1.3 or so

also every time i press the power button to unlock the screen, on the status bar, 3g is on already. before the update there was no 3g symbol on the bar until the screen came on.

so is juice defender working or not???
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] onuris21:
Did you run the juicedefender after the update?

After I updated mine, I re-opened the app and it did a scan in my phone.

I think it works perfectly fine... I managed a 20hours before charging my phone again.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sidneylopsides:
I installed this for a customer and it was different, scanned the phone then told me there was no root access so it was limited. It then didn't seem to work, and the toggle APN widget didnt work either.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] k1sr:
Yeah, I updated mine and the toggle APN widget died, but I re-attached it to my homescreen, and it's working now... I do kinda feel my battery life is not as good, but it's going to be different day to day anyway, so it's really hard to tell exactly.

BTW - did you notice there were 2 updates shortly after eachother. are you on 1.6.9 or 1.6.8

Ok, correction - the widget was working again, but it's certainly not now...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dpk0875:
update - it's been few days now and i think it's working fine (i think)

i mean the x number widget isn't at just 1.00 any more, although it is pretty erratic - sometimes and x2+ sometimes x1.8ish and such

o well, the battery seems to drain less now, maybe that quick second update fixed some issues, thx all
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Tri3Dent:
I went back to the old version. I think it's better.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dpk0875:
how do you do that?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Vin87:
Works fine for me.

For me the updated version works as good as the old version. During the night Juicedefender turns 3G of which results in 0% drain. Using Juiceplotter I see just a straight horizontal line during the night.
