Get back in to clockwork via the root method, then install the zip.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
Yeah, it's just sheer laziness that I haven't yet. :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
what the radio update does when its flashed successfully is echo a line in the build.prop, thats all... it echos the ro.build.description in the .prop so whatever ROM u have loaded it displays that on the pop up... if u run slideMeRoot, it will echo 1.27.531 successfull blah blah... if u run SlideMr4, it echos the "passion-user 2.1-update1 ERE27 24178 release-keys" because thats what eugene set in the .prop... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] siccmade:
I keep getting an error..it said something about status 7?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
Ok, so I tried to go back to the previous radio update. The flash succeeded and the normal radio reboot sequence was performed (double reboot, etc), but when Android loaded none of the wireless connections could be established through user-space programs. The wireless signal (cellular, not Wifi) was connected and seemed fine. About Phone->Network was in great shape, but all programs failed DNS lookups and failed to connect to any IP.

I flashed back to the newest radio and now SiriusXM works. Odd, eh? Everything was done the same and I know I updated the radio correctly the first time because I verified it via the About Phone.

Anyways, point being: it's fixed. Quite strange frankly, but I'm nervous now that I fscked (bad *nix joke) something up with my radio firmware - but I've got my Sirius! Woop. :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slughappy1:
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for the explanation CR.

Just flashed this Radio update, everything went smoothly on my end. Ran a speed test and jumped from 2 MBPS at my house, just outside of Philadelphia, in New Jersey, to 4.2 MBPS download, Upload didn't change much however, but I'm fine with that.

I'm using Slidemeroot 5r1.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
ROM has been released guys... u can find it HERE .... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
Isn't there a way to just make a update to install the updates on a existing rooted rom rather than having to flash a whole new rom?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Etype R:
:confused: Thats what this thread is... Just the radio, flash over any rom you want.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ratchetrizzo:
But isn't there more than just the radio in the OTA update?

I mean if there isn't why make a whole new rom with the radio?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
there's a few changes, dont get it twisted... but it would be easier to just flash the whole thing instead of trying to pull EVERY change when htc and tmo didnt even release a changelog for the update
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] antekaudi:
I have SlideMeRoot5r1.

I go to install rom from sdcard, i pick newest_radio02.zip install.

Reboot and i check my Baseband version and nothing changed, i am stuck on 7.07.35.02s.

Am i doing something wrong ?

I tried from Rom Manager also.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
thats weird... try installing from rom manager instead?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] antekaudi:
I did.

I tried from clockworks and from rom manager.

:(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
try to redownload the slide radio update and see if it was just corrupted
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Weird...

Try re-downloading the file. Rename it to "newradio.zip" and copy it to the root of your sdcard. Reboot into recovery, manually flash "newradio.zip" and reboot. It should say in text "Writing radio image..." before the thing reboots. It should then reboot on its own a second time and then take about 2-5 minutes to fully boot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
did you ever update to the stock radio? you might need to do that before going to the next updated radio.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705064
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] antekaudi:
I did but it also didnt go through.

Right now i am manually booting to clockwork (v1.8.1.7) and i re-downloaded the file.

This is what i got:

Installing sdcard:radio.zio

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Installing update...

Exctracting radio image...

Installation complete.

Reboot via menu to complete installation.

Install from sdcard complete.

Writing radio image.

Icon with android came up, which it didnt before. So i guess its going through.

Thanks guys your suggestions worked. !
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
at that point, press back then press reboot. you should see writing boot at the bottom, then it should reboot twice if i remember right and then boot back to your rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
did you reboot yourself or through clockwork?

and you might want to try a newer version of clockwork. the latest is 2.5.0.1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:
you can find and install this through rom manager which is free in market
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:

double post. sry
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Actually no, theres not... These are binary patch files that will only apply properly to THE EXACT .apks and .odex files they were intended for... If even 1 line of code or .apk is diff in the whole system the patches fail... So i had to do this from the retail OS it was intended for... U cant just randomly use patches on any random ROM u may be using, it not only will fail, but also may F ur ish up... I hope that simplifies it and clears up your question... I wouldnat have gone to the extreme i did in flashing my devive back to retail, to apply the patches, then to pull the imgs off the partitions, then adding the scripts and a2sd etc, if i could just give u guys a "quick update" that universally applies the OTA to anything.... Im not into "over working" lol... If an update zip were possible, thats what u would have got.... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
so chiefz would you be able to explain to me the difference between your ota rom & eugene's slidemeroot5r1..but w/o the obvious application of the ota? basically asking is it the same as smr51 (stock, rooted, a2sd) w/ the ota? maybe i should wait till you post the changelog on the other thread. or just better off asking these ?s:

1. is superuser included?

2. does wifi tether work?

3. is there lw support (w/ adw, lp)?

4. are the unnecessary stock apps back again?

5. does the boot anime work?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Well they differ alot actuall, i havent ran eugenes SMr5 so i have no idea his setup... This ROM is from scratch and the patches from the new OTA have been applied to all the base files.... this also includes a new kernel, and the new radio... to answer ur 1-5 in 1 shot... yes to all... Newest SU from ChainsDD, newest wireless tether, all stock apks are back, boot animation works and for now is stock but customizable... the apps2sd method i used is new, so that differs from eugenes as well... So a wipe is recommended before install, but the ROM will do it for u.... Hope that clears some things up... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poetik517:
interesting when you say the a2sd method differs. hoping i don't run into any problems as mine was set up using the clockwork he released w/ 512ext2/32swap (16gb card). noticing some folks in the other thread experiencing a bootloop coming from smr5r1. so i hope i wipe everything correctly pertaining to the cache & ext (i really don't know the process if the rom-wipe doesn't cover those).

i'll have to look up how to remove some apps & remove the boot tmo jingle (just the sound).

thanks for your reply and sorry for continuing this convo in the radio thread instead of the one dedicated to the rom.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Check here... and i can continue to help in the the provided thread...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dynamikd:

Tried to flash this after successfully flashing the (full) ota update in the other thread...and it did not work..btw my phone is stock (non rooted) would some one please assist me in flashing this.thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kingofyo1:

(10 chars >.<)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] krumbman0wnz:
ahhhh....root is the only method?..sh¡t...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] tubaking182:
if you applied the full OTA from the other thread and it applied successfully then there is no reason to apply this as this is included on the OTA
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] krumbman0wnz:
Really? The author of this thread made it seem as though this was needed...but I think he was meaning for those who have root yet want the features of the newest radio...i get it now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
download speeds got better for me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Virus1x:
I downloaded and Flashed threw recovery scared the crap outta me.. when i ran it.. it showed a picture of android a box and an arrow then it cleared my cache... lets hope my root stays in-tact

ERROR!!!

apparently I can't use Rom Manager to make a backup it crashed to my SD card in recovery

worked this time it seems
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
What's wrong with you?! Booooooooooooo! Android ghost..... The android and the box scared you?! Scared of losing root? Are you high? Or simply can't read? Quit posting stupid crap!

Anyone noticed a bit of lag with phone due to this radio update e.g. messages appearing or updating say 10 or 20 seconds after being sent or requested
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Anyone successfully revert to the older radio?? I think im going to bc im unable to d/l any picture messages since updating.. BTW my gf swears she received two updates on her stock slide, it had a different radio version then mine on friday when she first updated and I still had the older radio. When I updated I never compared them again but now yesterday she got a newer update that she d/l and installed
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
U can revert to the old radio using my first radio update here ... Im nt sure why u would want to, i think ppl experiencing "worse reception" or speeds is actuall a placebo but I most def could be wrong... As far as updates, I have an unrooted slide as well as the rooted and i have recieved 2 updates on it too... The first was an old update that i believe to be a mistake because it was a version prior to our retail software, and the newest is what this radio is from and also my OTA build... Anything newer is beyond me but i would love to find out more info... If u get ahold of her, ask her the baseband version, the kernel version, and the software version (should be something like 1."".531)... Be interesting to get my hands on if in fact for some REAL strange reason T-Mo put out yet ANOTHER OTA.... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Yea thats her current one now so its definitely what happened. I reverted radios to see if it would fix my mms problem, I was actually getting better d/l speeds with the new one( I posted a screen shot).. But old one didnt fix anything, I think it may just be on tmobiles end today. Do we know what the fix for downloading mms on wifi was? I know that was part of the OTA also..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jefwallbanger:
i noticed that when my phone is on 3g i have only 2 bars when i am on edge it is full bars and call quality is much better. anyone else?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Otherkid:
That's usually how it is with 3G if you have it at all you have full Edge service.

But I upgraded on Chiefs OTA file and afterwards I rebooted twice trying to fix it but every time I would make a call to anyone it would just sit there and say dialing at the top left then it would just say call ended. About 10 tries and 1 worked.

I tried later when I got off work and first call went through. I did try and get it to register again on the network but it was saying it was already registered when it wouldnt call out. I could send sms messages though when the calls wouldn't work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Otherkid:
Just tried making another call and went through first try I dunno Wtf happened at first but whateva.

I'll report back if anything else funky happens. But I am seeing better battery life! =D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Stratis1978:
Is anybody else getting application freezes on text entry?

Started two days ago and is happening will all apps.

I'll get wait or FC dialog...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Otherkid:
Nu uh but in do get a lot more network errors now when making calls. But it seems like everything flows nicer in texts and contacts **** like that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] N1M1TZ:
Stupid Question...

I updated with Chiefs' modded update. How do I get the OTA update notification from T-mo off my phone or do I allow update to go through with process?

Thanks in advance.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poacher2010:
It gives you the update notification but its not an update that will break root, unless you flash the rom that specifically states "THIS WILL BREAK ROOT" and there is only one rom that's like that.

If u flash a rom with the OTA update, it already has everything installed so don't download any other updates, there is no point.

Sent from my ROOTED "FRO-SLIDE-YO"
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fenixnr:
If its an OTA update it will break root. Don't spread lies.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] poacher2010:
That's what I said. I said not to install any updates but it the rom that was flashed had the update in it, there is no point to even try to download an OTA. Wasn't spreading lies... don't want people loosing root. Sorry if I confused people.

I'm running an OTA updated rom now... still have root. Easy enough, don't flash the one and only OTA rom that clearly states about breaking root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Guys I'm on the stock Rom with root and this radio flashed.. I love it great battery life no fc and it runs perfect and at first i never got bugged to update, well bc this updated it. Anyway recently tmobile has been bugging me to do the update but i have it. How can i get the notifications to go away? Dont tell me to flash a slidemerom please.. The Stock ROM runs fine its actually seems like its wasting more battery now that it keeps asking me to update.. Did they come out with a newer version than this or what?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Flash this rom -- it's the rooted "stock" OTA update. You will no longer receive the update notification as this IS the update.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] turboyo:
Thanks but i dont want to flash any ROMS thats the update plus his mods apps2sd etc.. I dont want any of that. MY phone is updated with the latest radio what else needs to be updated in the system so that it shows its been update? or how can i delete where ever the OTA update is stored? (it doesnt even give me the option to postpone anymore it just says update) Right now i have build number 1.27.531.1 release keys.. I know newest is 1.35.531 but there has to be something I can do, some zip to flash or something i can do to keep tmobile from pushing this to me or updating with out wiping or having a new rom
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
Uhhhhhh... the *only* modification to the rom is SuperUser, busybox and Apps2SD. And Apps2SD doesn't just work on its own. The other "modifications" listed in the second post of that thread are included in the linked Add-On pack. You don't NEED to flash that.

I've flashed this rom and it IS stock. It's as stock as you're going to get and it's the only way -- aside from flashing a Custom rom -- that you're going to stop seeing the update notification.

Trust me: flash this rom. It's all good. You wont even need to wipe (most likely). Just make a nandroid backup before you flash.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nomadrider123:
+1 I am running it and loving it
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
It's my favorite ROM. I prefer the Espresso theme and style and it has good speed.

I miss certain features of the CM6 related ROMS, but I also lose certain things from Stock. No disrespect on the devs, I think all their work is fantastic :)

Stock modified is pretty good and I can rely on everything from the phone.

If I were still on my G1, I'd definitely have a CM6 related ROM already.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dynamikd:
I was wondering the same thing, but I did notice the notification goes away when I kill running tasks. Don't know if that helps or not.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xblue95:
Could someone please give me some advice, I know I'll catch grief for this but I have search the forums on this and I'm very frustrated. I just rerooted my phone yesterday because I accepted the recents OTA that broke my first root. So I rerooted, applied ENG build and loaded very first ROM_Cyanogen 6. (i'm a little behind the curve here) Anyway, I noticed my radio is downgraded to 7.07.35.02 and I'm trying to upgrade it using the "Newest_Slide_Radio2.zip" in the first post.

My dilemma, I'm not sure how to apply said "Newest_Slide_Radio2.zip". I've tried renaming it to update.zip, put it on the top level of SD card, rebooted into recovery and selected apply update.zip. I keep getting a "signature Verification fail" and it won't go into clockwork. Am I doing this correctly? HELP PLEASE!

I was following ChiefzReloaded instructions from another post:

Install as u would any custom ROM on slide by rebooting to stock recovery, applying update.zip to boot into our temp recovery, and apply .zip from SD. You can do this over any ROM so dont be alarmed,
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
You do NOT want to rename ANY flashable rom to update.zip -- the only "update.zip" on your sdcard's root should be for ClockworkMod Recovery.

All you have to do is put the the newest slide radio zip on your sdcard and install ROM Manager from the Market. Then you would -- via ROM Manager --simply make sure that ClockworkMod Recovery is flashed to your Slide, and then you would Install the ROM from sdcard. The rom in this case being the newest slide radio.

You're making this much harder than it needs to be.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slughappy1:
You need that original update.zip to get into Clockwork Recovery. Then while in clockwork you go to install file from zip/sd card, I forget the exact wording. Then you have to choose the correct zip file off of your sd card.

EDIT: Or you can just follow what HebrewToYou just said with ROM Manager. I forget about using ROM Manager for things like that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xblue95:
Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot and let you know! I had taken the original update.zip off my SD to put the newly renamed radio.zip on it.

Thanks again, that did the trick!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] slughappy1:
I'm glad you got it all taken care of. Now just make sure you always have the update.zip that is clockwork on your sd card, and you'll be good to go.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xblue95:
Thanks again slughappy1, I thought clockwork was part of the recovery on the phone after the root process, not on the update.zip..... I learn something new evrytime!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
That sure would be nice but alas... not true. Speaking of chief_reloaded, has anyone seen him (not literally of course) around here? It seems like everyone has just left the MTS without a simple goodbye. I remember eugene & htclay bidding farwell but it seems like other devs have just left the stage quietly. May be development is halted somewhat because of the MIA 2.2 ota? Any theories?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ChiefzReloaded:
Well, Im still here (KingKlick quote lol), Im still around and I still troll the threads, but ur right... It is partially because of the missing update for froyo... I thought about what ppl would want in a ROM on the slide and I honestly couldnt come up with an answer... I mean, were running an Arm 6 device... Meaning ports and such are only possible of things everyones seen before... Legend, Hero, Aria, etc... I dont wanna put out the same old stuff unless ppl actually want that stuff... I did that kinda work on the G1 and MyTouch but it seems those roms are outdated tbh... With CM6 available, I see no reason to do a ROM from source (2.2) cuz thats obviously what CM6 is... So im in the dark for new ideas... If someone wants to start a request thread on ROMs they would like to see be my guest... I will watch it and work on such but i think we have covered all the options already untill we get an espresso 2.2 OTA or another arm 6 device gets a sense froyo update... Let me know if ppl have requests... Im nt doin much but would love to put something out ppl want... CR
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
That's what I thought. Thanks for all the work, man! I wouldn't think there is much to do or fix until the 2.2 ota drops. I hope this reconfirms people's faith in the MTS and it not being dead. Although the G2 is looking very good ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] valdezpa09:
I have a request... I need a 2.2 just bare bones no launcher just as it would come from google... anyone up for that... would like one that had bt audio but that's not happing anytime soon...

Request for the old radio

CR: I don't know if you're still watching this thread, but I'd really like to find a way to downgrade to the previous/default radio (7.08.35.04S).

I realize I could downgrade to the Eng rom and get v7.07.35.02S, but I'd prefer to have the 7.08.35.04S. The download link in your old thread (at: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=705064) doesn't work anymore.

FWIW, I used to get 150KiB per second uploads and downloads. I haven't gotten faster than 75KiB down on the latest radio in my city, and it drops my data connection probably 10+ times per day.

Anyway, if you could re-post that or update the link in your last thread that would be a huge help! I've spent about an hour searching threads, so hopefully I'm not overlooking the obvious.
