[Vibrant Themes and Apps] WilliamStern:
Hey guys, I'm having a small issue that I'm just not understanding? My phone is rooted, and I'm using better cut to change the look of my icons for my home screens. I have no issues doing that till I get to "Google Maps." I'll set the short up, but every time I press it I get this message... "could not launch requested activity." All my other ones work fine, but this one.

Note: If I add the short cut to the bottom dock with new icon it works fine. Maybe one of you guys can shine some light on this for me.

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
This method was brought to my attention from another user. I have uploaded the files for the root method, this was originally developed for the droid x

Download link:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/r0pc3m

Resource link:

http://www.tomsguide.com/us/how-to-root-droid-x,news-7570.html

Hopefully we can have some devs look at this and maybe we can come up with a new root method around the new ota update and possible opening up the slide for more modding in the future with more exploits.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stoneyjonez:
Do you seriously think that nobody has tried any root methods from other HTC phones?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stoneyjonez:
By the way, the current root method is EASY. If it is too difficult you shouldn't be doing it at all.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
If you knew what you were talking about you know that the ota update patches the old root method and for those users that are just now rooting their phones after the update won't be able too via the old method.

And in no way have I stated that the old method was hard. I've rooted my phone already and have loading custom rom and everything.

If you don't have anything constructive to say shut the eff up.

Oh and btw the droid x is motorola
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
The guys voice in the video makes me want to shoot myself. I highly doubt this method would work for the Slide -- YMMV.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] hardkorekid:
haha owned
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MortICi:
The key to the current root method is the SDCARD. Thats it. I tried 3 different SD cards (G1, MT3GSlide, and Transcend 8gb Class 6) and no luck. Popped in my GF's old blackberry curve sdcard, and was rooted in less than 5 mins. Hell I didn't even have to be all precise in the root process, rebooted to recovery, plugged in the cable and adb showed recovery 100% of the time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
:rolleyes:

No, it isn't. Stop spreading this nonsense.

I've rooted *my* Slide on three separate occasions -- once with a class 10 16 GB card, once with a class 6 16 GB card and once with the card that shipped with my Slide -- and rooted a coworkers Slide (with the stock sdcard) as well. The sdcard doesn't matter. The root method for the Slide exploits a race condition, one that requires great luck and good timing.

Your sdcard truly does not matter. I cannot believe this silliness is still being perpetuated...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
I believe - as a dev, not as a clueless user - that the SD card can in fact matter in this process. As you said our current method exploits a race condition in ADB. It makes perfect sense that in order to increase the time that the race condition is active for you can use an SD card that is slower (and thus keeps ADB stuck in the race for a moment longer).

Personally I can NEVER get the race condition with adb shell with my Transcend 8gb Class 6 card. If I pop in an unrated SD card I can get it in a few tries.

It's possible that it's all speculation, but until we have the source code for the bootloader I don't think we should disprove this theory.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stoneyjonez:
Yeah I think a slower, lower-class SDcard might play a part in getting the timing down right. I have done it on a class 6 already without issues though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] nbetcher:
Thanks Army. I'll take a look at this on Friday and see if I can port this to Slide.

It will not help us open up the Slide more, however, since the NAND (flash memory) in our device is security locked. There is only one way to unlock it and we do not have access to that. I am, however, going to look into constructing a USB console cable for the Slide and seeing if I can manipulate things from that port.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] stoneyjonez:
And I must apologize to the OP. I have to learn not to go on forums right after waking up. Not only was I a **** but I didn't make any damn sense.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zachenry:
Hopefully, there is some hope for dummies like me who did the OTA update without thinking and are now unrootable. :-) just wanted to say thanks guys.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Agreed

Sorry nb, but I have not seen any evidence to suggest that faster SDcards do not work for rooting (other than a few people with low post counts saying so). When I rooted my Slide with a stock class 2 it took at least 100 tries to get the race condition.

Meh.

See above.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
no offense taken stoney
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] cidica:
I honestly do not believe it's the sdcard either. I read about the sdcard part while I was trying to root my Slide and I tried a few different ones each time it would not work. When I finally did root my Slide it was with the stock sdcard some people just got really lucky with how adb was caught others did not it took me well over 2 days to get things to work right. But honestly it was worth it but I swear I'm not doing it again untill we actually have a spl we can get the security turned off on and hopefully that fixes alot of the root problems.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zachenry:
I tried it like 100 times before I realized that the OTA update broke it, LOL. Not proud of that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Here my thoughts on what you guys are saying:

-I tried 3 cards of various classes and brands, offline doesnt show on all of the cards

-the usb cord might play a role too, with another rooted phone i attempted to try adb shell with 2 different usb crds(one from charger piece, other from ps3 controller)anyway the one for the ps3 cont actually worked and the other didnt even register in adb

Some of you might say this is BS...but that's up to you to choose not me
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ilostchild:
OK HI!! i was the one that brought this attention, as this method was used to root the n1, and another forum it was used to root the g1/mytouch.. and this same forum even said it could possibly work on most android devices.. as you have to think this was for the droid X with fully lock bootloader any tampering would send in recovery loop unless you had an offiicial OTA to reflash factory rom.. This is indeed something to look into as these steps are simple adb push and a exploit in wifi... no one sayin that it can work or will work! but cause of this i am in root with latest android OS FRF91, so to think bout it if this expoit existed in current OTA ROM, im pretty sure it still there in previous ones as well...

I was hoping this method was for the MTS as its the ez root ever.. other method is ez too my wife slide is rooted, but as i read the OTA breaks the Root.. so try to help where i can..buy giving suggestions that could possible work

Look at me !(iono something to say)

But here is the link that same method worked on several other android phones

http://c-skills.blogspot.com/2010/07/android-trickery.html

read comments

and here is the original post on where they used it to root the Droid X

http://alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&t=493

why i post this jus to give further proof that this can possibly work jus Need devs into looking on how to make it work :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] PcFish:
I honestly never thought there was a timing problem. I rooted on my first try. Didn't know it could take forever until my brother told me it took him 3 hours to root his lol.

I noticed I always get better luck if I start back at pushing the ota.zip instead of repeating pushing the update.zip and usually get it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] acejoker25000:
with people that upgraded to the newest f/w can you not flash one of the older esprimg.nbh files and reroot then flash the rooted update?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] chevycowboyusa:
Nope

It wont let you flash the older files. tried it!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Armyjon88:
No once you upgrade you can't downgrade, you need the eng package to revert back to an older image

I went back to stock and applied the new update because I have a thing about puzzles I'm boarderline obsessive about them I can't just leave them alone I'm always looking for a solution even though I'm not an expert I always put in my two cents and maybe ill learn something.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r0man:
Unfortunately everyone who flashed the OTA seems to be (at least temporarily) SOL. :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] statuzz:
i thought at the beginning it was sd-card issue..but actually maybe a timing, drivers thing...anyway i believed we should just look into this couz..is a new radio..updated system as well and right now a lots of people with the latest ota already in..:rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] falken98:
Has anyone who is not rooted tried this? I would, but i'm really tired of reflashing the stock rom and rereooting....

I looked at the code and checked out the system, and it seems the code may work as is, provided the same vunerability exists on the slide.

If someone wants to try it and tell me the exact result along with any errors i'll see if I can get it working... if it looks half way productive i'm sure i'll end up reflashing stock and giving it a go. lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
One click root

CheifzReloaded has come up with a one click root method. It doesnt require hooking into your pc.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Where is it at?? And does it work on phones with the update?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] fermunky:
Did he post it on another site?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
No actually I think he figured it out and then went to sleep. He was up all night working on it. He tweeted about it a little while ago. I would expect him to post about it later today after he gets some rest.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Here are the tweets :
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xNicoyAx:
Think this would apply for those who have updated to the new version via T-Mobile?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] TrueBlue_Drew:
Not sure about that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] collins521:
If this works for the new that would be awesome but I have a feeling its for the older software before the ota cause he said he unrooted
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r00ktard:
8(

No this doesn't work for us...

he says after he unrooted after he flash the image file.

we can't flash the image file because we updated. It fails to flash it remember?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zachenry:
Man, I got my hopes up for a sec. :-) Seriously though, I am amazed at the stuff you guys do.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
so we're still out of luck then...I was hoping that we would have a new method for the slide with update...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r00ktard:
Don't worry. I'm sure someone will figure out how to downgrade these devices. Either that or find another way to get a custom recovery on there.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I thought you were off your rocker for a minute, man! Posting stuff like root was easy... I remember you being stuck for a while just like over 70% of us were.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zachenry:
R00k,

You are probably right man. We just have practice patience right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Seargent B.:
It has nothing to do with timing or the SD card. Its the driver. Even though the computer recognizes the SD when the phone is on doesn't mean the correct driver is installed. To check try this: disconnect phone from computer. Download usbdeview and uninstall any driver with the mytouch slide name. Download pdanet to the computer. Follow its prompts for installing the slide driver. Make sure to select htc drivers when asked. That should work to catch the driver in recovery.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] r00ktard:
Rooted!

Hello guys,

Just thought I would share that i have tried the following and i was now able to root my device after applying the OTA update. 1.35.531.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754669

Its a little of work but I'm sure you guys can figure it out. I now have a rooted mytouch slide.

Good luck and remember ... please don't complain about you not being able to do it... or your phone bricked ... or you can't find drivers ... blah blah. Do a search through the forums first.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] daniel.netti:
Ow yeah, I need the same thing, if you have the answer please post here ok?

I think this is a Kernel change, but....its possible to have another way.

good luck.

If you hold de C letter, you'll have an option to change the letter to Ç.

Eu preciso exatamente da mesma coisa, se você tiver a resposta me avise ok, se eu souber te falo tbm, acho que é uma alteração no kernel, mas pode ter outro meio de fazer isso.

Se você segurar a letra C apertada no teclado, aparecerá uma opção para muda-la pra ç.

boa sorte.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Hello everyone, I hope I can get assistance from you guys here.

I recently took the plunge and updated the firmware on my device, so I flashed it. The main reason being that it always took at least 5 seconds to do something in regards to playing music. It annoyed the hell out of me.

Anyway, so I updated the firmware to JM5 and now I can't access the internet. I've tried adding the correct APN's, I've even tried rolling back to an earlier firmware, but again to no avail. It is so annoying. I've tried 5 different f/w versions and in each installation have tried to add the APN and reboot and nothing works.

I can use the internet via WiFi but that's it. I can't use the net outside. Did I do something wrong? Am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance to any kind soul. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pizzachips:
double check your apn settings and make sure data is enabled..

also for wifi, can you not see any access points, or is it just unable to connect to them?

have you wiped data/cache yet?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
T h i s i s a d o u b l e p o s t. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Thanks for the fast response!

Well, all my APN settings are checked. Data IS enabled (is there a switch to disable that? apart from Roaming?).

WiFi works excellent. It's only when I try to use the mobile network's internet.

How do you wipe data/cache?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
did you try the super wipe secret code? the one in red?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Yes, tried that as well. That's the one where it doesn't ask you to confirm resetting the phone right?

Did that after every install. I hope it gets fixed. Reinstalling all the apps even with app brain is tedious!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
that's right

i love that code, it's perfect for every new flash, and if you ever need to take the device back for repair, or resale :D

sorry, not sure what else you can do about the APN not working.

it's really weird.

does it work if you go back to older firmwares? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Yes, even using old firmware up until June, nothing earlier than that. But it should let me use the APNs right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
what if you forcefully set it to a specific data frecuency only?

*#*#4636#*#*
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:
Just received the reply from the network (O2UK). They advised me that the initial settings they sent was INCORRECT. I'm a PAYG user, and I mentioned this to them, so apparently they sent me POSTPAID settings. *facepalm*

Apparently it is recommended that people check their APN's if it's the PAYG or POSTPAID version that they need, and apply it accordingly. In my case, all firmwares would install the POSTPAID APN's.

It's now running fine and dandy, and here are the settings just in case another person here runs in to the same issue:

APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username: vertigo

Password: password

MCC: 234

MNC: 10

Thanks for all those who took the time to help out. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The.Opethian:

I'm on tmobile but switching to verizon for a few reasons which i will not be discussing.

I had the g1, then switched to the nexus one, and now im debating which Droid to get from verizon/

I'm leaning heavily towards the droid 2 but reading about the phones being a pita to root i'm not so sure.

Choices are

Droid x

Droid 2

Droid incredible

Which to get?

I recently made the switch from tmobile to verizon. I sold mine and my wifes nexus ones. She got the incredible and i got the droid x. Id recommend either the droid x or droid 2.

If i had to pick all over again id still go with the droid x though.

I bought the Dinc (Incredible) and bought my wife the Droid X.

IMO I'm not impressed with the X. I have never been a fan of Motorola. The HTC (with sense) seems to be much better. again, in my opinion. I would love to have the screen of the X but the overall functionality of the Dinc is much better. The Battery life on the Dinc is the wost part. I ended up buying two 1800 Evo batteries that work very well.

Personally I avoid using anything with the Cyanogen Mod kernel. My ROM of choice is Jubeh's Froyo ROM, it's basically just AOSP froyo w/ root, that's it. It's super responsive, and with the stock launcher, the occasional reload only takes a couple of seconds.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] johnson8cyl:
Can u get into recovery or anything? That shouldn't brick your phone. U need to go to amonra 1.7.0 recovery. Forget that method of gapps. Just download and flash the link. People have been having a lot of problems with your method

if i try to select reboot system now, it wont work, it'll will boot but got stuck on boot screen forever.

I assumed the issue is the ClockworkMod messed everything up, but i just don't know how to get rid of it....
