Did it ever work?

Swype is not compatible on all roms and at the minimum you need to uninstall and reinstall with your invite info they first sent you in an email.

Also, I would try Rod's Forum for help first, if you haven't already.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beelbeel:
Hi guys,

I have been looking into the rooting/flashing process a bit, and it seems pretty straight forward for the most part. The primary reason that I have not followed through yet is the tiny fear that I will ruin my phone. The video (and forum thread) tutorials make it seem pretty easy, though, and there are not a lot of points where it seems like something could go wrong.

At which steps is bricking really a potential risk? There were a couple of points during the rooting process where it seemed like typing the wrong commands in terminal could result in some troubles. I have not looked as deeply into the flashing process, so I am unsure if there are more risks there.

Furthermore, is it possible to "unbrick" a mytouch 4g? I did a quick look around the forum and found what seemed to be threads discussing unbricking other phones. Once a mytouch 4g is bricked, is it basically completely and irreversibly useless?

Finally, I was also wondering if this process would eventually be even simpler than it is now. Like I had said, it already seems somewhat straight forward. If this is about as easy as it gets, then there really isn't any incentive to wait. If, however, many of these devices get even simpler solutions down the road, I might hold off.

Thanks,

Neel
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjs81:
Flashing hboot can brick the phone, but that step is no longer necessary. I would imagine the gfree changes could corrupt the radio if something were to potentially go wrong there, and from what I understand the radio is what boots the phone.

If you can't boot into hboot, I believe at this point in time the phone is unrecoverable.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beelbeel:
Thanks for the reply. That is definitely something I will keep in mind as I continue to research the process.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
I don't think there will be easier process to root MT4G, it's not as simple as, let's say, G1 or Magic, back in the day. However, current process is simple enough where most, if not all, can do it. My personal suggestion is to use ADB for most of the process and copy/paste all critical commands (like the one for writing hboot what not). This way you can be sure that nothing was mistyped (yeah, VKs are great but not THAT great).

Also, folllow only 1 guide. There people that try to follow a guide, something goes wrong and they jump to another guide... and another guide and then we see a thread with something along the lines of:

Other then that... kudos for doing research and good luck.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beelbeel:
Thanks for the tips. I had been focusing on two of the video tutorials out there (both of which referenced the thread here), but I will probably end up reading the whole thread and going off of that before attempting to root.
[G Tablet Accessories] justauser:
Now that several of us have keyboards attached to our gtablets, I thought it mught be useful to share a list of which keys do what. I've discovered that HOME does take you home and that ESC seems to be the back key. Others?

With mine, the End button puts the tablet in Sleep mode. Pretty cool.
[G Tablet Accessories] sunglint:
Some more keys

I picked up a Gearhead KB1500U usb keyboard at Frys for $7.95. It's pretty nice, metal back, regular keys although slightly cramped netbookish layout. Its about an inch longer then the G, and about 1.5inches narrower. Playing around while typing this up I get the following:

ESC is back

Backspace works normally but delete does nothing

Windows key is preferences/menu as is F1

Home is Home (but I cant hold to bring up all running apps, and I get a weird minus sign when I try)

Application Key brings up recent pages and search choices if pressed again (at least in Firefox4)

End is sleep and wakes it back up, also F3 and F4

Space bar moves down one page in Firefox, but PgUp and PgDn do nothing (again in Firefox)

Alt-Right or Left arrow blanks the screen (it just goes black but is still back-lit) do it again and it returns, this happens instantaneously, no delay like Home

So I have a TMobile G2. Straight out the box, with no customization what-so-ever. My only problem is the stock messaging.

Have you tried adding yourself as a contact?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
If you go into settings>about phone>status>my phone number will say "unknown" correct?

Even if you add yourself as a contact, it will still be grayed out because the phone will not be able to distinguish that the number that you added as a contact is meant for you.

People have said that cleaning out the contacts on the sim card has helped fix this, and others have had the sim card replaced and it fixed the problem. There have also been times where people have done both and it still hasn't fixed the problem.

Hope it offers some insight for ya.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
I hadn't heard of this happening with the stock G2 ROM. It happens to me on CM6 right now, but didn't on stock. If after setting yourself up as a contact, you still show up as a gray box, definitely check to see if you are an unknown number. If so, you can call up T-Mobile and ask customer support to push your number back to your SIM card. They will be able to do this over the air. Alternatively, if you have access to other phones, some of them allow you to set the phone number on the SIM (my old Nokia's, Sone Ericcson's, and Samsung's did).

Hi, I'm running superram v1.5 with everything working great. I upgraded from an old darkstone rom that came with the phone when i bought it. I installed the superram, but the kernel included is not showing up in the settings>kernel. It's showing an old one, and my battery can go from fully charged to dead in 6 hours or less. I was on the phone for an hour last night, speaker phone, with the display on, and only lost 7% of battery. When I try to manually update the kernel I do have the phone in winmo mode because i don't have a micro sd card adapter. Is this my problem? I am doing a reboot before starting android and the kernel still won't update. Can someone please help?

[Wildfire General] didiersl:
Hello,

I have on my WF puzzlewildfire, but I would like to lighten up by removing all the applications built into the rom and I do not use. How simple?

thank you:)
[Wildfire General] GuestK00293:
I have used "adb shell" to get into the phone shell and remove a few apps.

First, evaluate what you are going to gain by doing this...

If you still want to remove some apps:

1. Connect your phone through USB with USB debugging enabled and charge only option

2. To get write access to 'system' partition: adb remount

3. Get shell access to phone: adb shell

4. Go to apps folder: cd /system/app

5. rm -r TheAppYouDoNotWant.apk

Important:

- Backup your apps on your PC before deleting them from your phone by doing:

(after #1 from above)

Got to a folder on your PC using the system shell (cmd or bash or ...)

adb pull /system/app/* .

- Make sure you do not delete something another app is dependent on!

If you have not applied s-off patch by alpharev, then you have to push the files while in clockwork recovery, after going to the partitions menu and selecting mount /system. If you are in fact s-off, you have to use a terminal emulator and type [code}mount -o rw,remount /system[/code] and then push the files

I refuse to connect my phone to my pc. Is there any way to get these files pushed onto my phone? Terminal Emulator work? If not, it's cool. Wifi seems to be working for the most part under CM6.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] HebrewToYou:
It depends. These files are taken *directly* from the stock espresso rom and are known-good. If you're not having any issues with wifi running CM6 I don't feel comfortable telling you this will "improve" anything -- but I don't think it would hurt. In any case, if you follow my instructions you will have backed up the original files and can restore them at any time.

Uhhhh -- why? That seems incredibly myopic and weird. You know what -- never mind -- I don't want to know. You can use a terminal emulator on the device to move the two files from your sdcard to their rightful place on /system. I'll leave it as an exercise to the user to figure out the correct commands to do so.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ApeMan911:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
If you do it through terminal emulator, you have to be s-off. Otherwise you have to make a flashable zip for the files and flash it in recovery. The commands in terminal are just basic linux commands.

Good luck

Hello folks. I really appreciate hebrew putting this article up... a lot of work went into figuring out what the issue was and even moreso, how to fix it. To sum up a few things; First if you're not seeing an issue with wifi currently it's perfectly fine to install these modules. Secondly, I'd like to explain a little bit more on the issue at hand. A small handful of folks noticed their wifi wasn't working reliably after the froyo update (maybe sooner we haven't bothered to assert when the issue was introduced). The issue was initially identified as "weirdness" but after looking at dmesg and logcat we were able to pinpoint and reproduce the issue quickly by firing up google maps and scrolling while on wifi and on EDGE or GPRS. You'd see CRC errors and the interface would reset. I have two slides in my household... one had the issue the other did not. We later learned that HTC is using two chips inside the slide for wifi. CM and some other folks that do dev for google likely only have the standard TI1271 chip in their phone which is not affected by the "regression" in the current TI code base. As a side note, HTC has not finished froyo for the slide yet and as such there is no kernel source for this device or this TI module. I'm sure in time it will come... until then we're stuck on .29

Anyhow, if this makes no sense to you go ahead and smile and have a sip of your coffee. For the folks who this might be useful for... please contact me and lets fix this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ApeMan911:
Ok well I have verified that the files DO fix Wi-Fi, however for me.....I can now only connect to a WEP access point. I removed all the security on my router, phone connected - enabled WEP phone connected......phone still will not connect to any access point with wpa/wpa2 authentication. Also got some funny wi-fi settings FC errors, reported the issue to cyanogenmod. Issue 2731. Also I notice that my signal strenght is horrible and I'm sitting right now like 10 feet infront of my router and my phone has 2 bars of signal. No its not the router. I have an ipod, laptop and PS3 all connected and running full signal right now. Hopefully this gets fixed at some point - really dissapointing not being able to use Wi-Fi on my phone as I get horrible 3G and HSPA strength in my house, and sucks too because I had to downgrade router security to be compatible with all my devices.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dredayholiday:
After fighting with adb commands and my Windows 7 64-bit system, I finally (through what seemed like trial/error) was able to see my phones serial number after entering "adb devices" and push the files to my phone. What a PITA it is remove/re-install BS and not know why it didn't work the first time. Anyway, WI-FI seems to be working great with the exception of the Facebook app, but at this point I don't care; I'm beginning to despise Facebook and it's unhealthy for me.

I said all that to ask the following:

After I pushed the 2 files to my phone, there was a long list of what just looked to be definitions/tips that populated in the command prompt. This command prompt population happened after I entered the first "file push command" (sorry for bad terminology), and then again after I entered the second one; they both seemed to be the exact same verbiage. Is this what I was supposed to see? I noticed someone else said in this thread that they saw something along the lines of "files successfully transferred", I never once saw this, but my WI-FI seems to be working. The reason I'm asking this, is that despite the apparent success of the file push, before this process, I would toggle WI-FI on/off a few times and get a connection via WI-FI. Basically, what I'm wondering is if I did in fact push these files correctly to my phone, or if I'm just getting a false sense of working WI-FI...

thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
False sense. Syntax is adb push source-path dest-path.

For example, adb push launcher.apk /system/app

That would push launcher.apk from the current directory of the command prompt to the /system/app folder on the phone. It'll say files successfully transferred.

Thank you. I didn't realize that S-Off was required. I completed that and then Pushed these files.

I am now able to tether without issues! I was so disappointed in this phone up until this point!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] beartard:
I pushed the files in clockwork with no problems at all.

I was concerned because I didn't *think* I had wifi problems. All custom ROMs I've had on any Android phones have been "quirky," but I always figured the extra features over stock would make up for some weirdness.

Before pushing these files I had problems with slow-to-no wifi throughput when using the market and facebook apps as well as a few others. Webpages loaded in the browser would often stick at around 25% on the yellow, progress bar. Since pushing these modules, all my weirdness is gone (on the phone, anyway). Thanks, guys!

You can go the easier route and download the files to the phone directly.

Then use a File manager that has Root/SU access to copy the files to where they need to go. That's what I did after running S-Off

Use "Droid Explorer"

About a week ago I wrote a thread on how much easier it is to drag and drop to and from PC to your Phone as an alternative to using ADB commands (pull or push) all the time. I have a lot of phones and to not include friends, family and coworkers phones for who I root, jailbreak and or modify. This app is great for Android phones and visually easier to look at the folders and files some of these threads ask to access.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
If you are s-off you have to go into terminal emulator and do this before /system is r/w:

$ su
# mount -o rw,remount /system

If you aren't, reboot into clockwork recovery, go to partitions menu, mount /system and then download the android sdk, install it, then open a command prompt (or terminal on linux) and type adb push C:\location\of\file.ext /system/location/of/file

repeat that command for each file.
