I got my ClockWorkMod Recovery zip from Rom Manager. Delete the one you have with the file manager it won't work since it's not signed. Get Rom Manager from the market. After opening Rom Manager choose the first option flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. Then pick myTouch Slide. You have to allow superuser access. That's it this should place the correct update.zip file on the root of your sd card. You can confirm it's there with the file manager. Then try the process again. Hope this helps.

coo, thanks bro will give this one more try before i go to bed.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
damn, still getting the same message

edit: just re-read your message, SU never asked for permission when flashing recovery. although it did say that flashing recovery was successful. but when i used terminal emulator and type su, su permission pops up....so i guess ill try again after i use terminal emulator to flash recovery in clockwork...thats my only and last idea...

i think i was spoiled with my cliq.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
If it flashed correctly than it has superuser access. Has Tmo pushed the 2.2 update yet? I have been rooted for a while now and wouldn't know :-)

sick. cyan is loading now. thanks for the help. i dont think they've pushed it. i was still on 2.1. i saw a video of the slide on 2.2 with it overclocked and running almost as fast as the galaxy s lines so i decided to pick one up off ebay a couple days ago. i had the cliq since it came out and even overclocked it was still slow.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
That's great news! Glad I could help! I was just wondering cause after the 2.2 update this method may not work anymore. Glad to hear you got it working!

I'm having this problem also but pushing vol up + power at the black screen (w/ phone/triangle pic) doesnt do anything it still just sits at the that screen (been sitting like this for over 10 minutes now) any idea what I can do or what I may have done wrong. I followed all steps and everything went exactly as it was supposed to until this point
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
try holding vol up for a second first, then push power while still holding vol up...see if that helps.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SHoyt113:
Nope, still stuck
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
hmm, i'm not sure then. i just did this last night. i was stuck there the first time until i read about the volume up+power. but i think if you get stuck there, you cant just reboot and try again. i re did all the steps when i restarted after it not working. but then again, im not sure. hopefully someone smarter than me will respond.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SHoyt113:
well.. not sure what happened but after pushing vol/up + pwr over and over and over it all of a sudden worked. Now i'm realizing though that I should have done some more reading first because I didn't know I wouldn't have the market or gmail :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
Go to the slide bible thread, download the gapps file under 2.2 roms section. In the clockwork app, reboot in recovery, in recovery install zip, go to the gapps file and install it. Then reboot. You get the apps and all that jazz.

Edit: put the gapps file on the sd card but not in any folders.

I need help. I'm not a complete noob but i'm still confused. I can't get past flashing the "ESPRIMG.zip" file. It keeps saying "not found" after booting with volume key and power button.

What I did already.

1. Made sure the file is not .zip.zip or in a .zip file.

2. Formated the sd card through the pc.

3. Formatted the sd card through the mytouch slide.

4. Redownloaded all files 3 times in a row.

Please help? I will pay someone $2.00 paypal if someone can help. (If paying someone is allowed...)

Thank you!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
the esprimg file should be left as a .zip file.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WebCobra:
Yes I did that. I'm not that dumb, lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dancingtortoise:
oh haha, sorry i read the #1 as you made sure the file was not zipped. my bad, but that means i have no idea.

edit: oh wait, if i remember right it will say not found but a blue loading bar should be in the upper right corner...just wait a little bit.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SHoyt113:
Thank You! Next time I will definitely do some more research first!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AZ_Miss_Murder:
Does anyone know where I can get a zip copy of a recovery? I've searched for an Amon *sp? or a Clockwork, but all download links are out and mostly everyone went for S-OFF versions...

Rom manager will auto install latest clockwork recovery update.zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] SHoyt113:
Got myself all setup with this method but I have an issue. My battery drains REALLY fast, I checked the battery usage and the only thing it shows that's using a lot of battery is the cell radio, is this something I can update/change and is anyone else having this problem?

Its not just a normal quick drain like this phone usually has, its about 1-2% every minute while doing nothing with it so it has to be plugged in whenever possible
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JTownBrewer:

page has both .img and .zip formats.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] elry567:
OR U COULD JUST download Rom manager automatically downloads latest update.zip rec for clockwork
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JTownBrewer:
true enough ;)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xoombie503:
i had installed the champion build after i rooted and i was stock..after i decided to root again i tried this method but in one of the steps it asked me to give super user permission to something,is that normal or i wasn't stock after all? just asking cuz i got my replacement phone and would like to do it again:cool:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WebCobra:
This doesn't work for me. My phone never finds the "ESPRIMG.zip" file while booting in fast boot.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WebCobra:
OMG, nevermind. I have found out the reason. If anyone got my issue, then reformat the sd card to FAT32. FAT = fail.

Thank you!!! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xoombie503:
**** it all goes good till i try to install update.zip it says verification signature failed...hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllp:mad:
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
Where did you get your update.zip file from? Get Rom Manager and flash ClockWorkMod Recovery from there. It will place the correct update.zip file on your sd card.

Edit: Delete the update.zip file you have already. It won't work.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xoombie503:
idk but its 811kb

edit:after I've done all the steps again,do i have to select yes if i wan to update from the esprimg? or i can i just select no and go to apply update.zip?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
I'm not sure I only had to do it once.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It won't hurt to re-apply the ESPRIMG.zip file and it'll ensure you get things working.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xoombie503:
mother******** im about to throw this phone out the window...after 25 attemps i realized i have the wron esprimg.zip i believe,ill start from scratch doing it on adb instead..will see if that works:mad::mad::mad::mad:

recovery asks for update.zip.....NOT Update.zip (remember instructions say cap sensitive)

so I select install update.zip from sd card, and I get the following messages

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

--Install from sd card...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
Do you mean the official 2.2.1 update from Tmobile? You can get the ClockWorkMod Recovery zip from Rom Manager(Market). Just install and flash ClockWorkMod Recovery and it will place the correct update.zip file on the root of your sd card.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
You have to use androot to gain temporary root access to flash ClockWorkMod Recovery. As stated in the OP. This method is pretty easy to do just follow the directions ;)

So I looked at the original androot thread and it does not work with 2.2.1 (which I am running). The thread refers to superoneclick or unrevoked to root the phone. Has anyone tried these? If not can anyone provide the update.zip for clockwork recovery?

Thanks for the quick replys.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Smokem_I:
Every Android Device has a data folder already. You should not need to create one. You need to find the real data/local file and you should have no problems.

Deezy, thanks for this method worked great.

Remember to press up and power when the recovery screen comes up.

Smokem, thanks for the clockwork file.

riggi, if you follow the procedures you should have no problems doing this. Smokem is correct in saying that every phone has the data/local folder. If you have used root explorer before you should have no problem locating this folder and setting it to read and write. If you have experience in this then you just need to slow down a bit to find those files, its not that hard if you have messed with these phones for a while.

[Captivate General] monoespacial:
Hi all! I live in Argentina and I want to buy a Captivate either in USA or Canada (can do both). The reason is they are $200 cheaper there. Yes, i know.

Well, the question is which Captivate to get, the i897 or the i896 (Rogers). I believe there are no GPS issues with the Rogers version but I'm not sure if one can use the custom roms from the i897 on it, and if the gps still works fine when the rom is changed.

I'd really like to be able to use the gps.

Please help me decide...
[Captivate General] supaphreek:
Its going to be hard to find an answer since most people here only have one or the other however i can say this :D

I bought mine from rogers and had absolutely no problems with the gps :)

I then installed a gingerclone rom which is 2.2 and there were no problems with the gps :)

I also upgraded to the 2.2 froyo ATT using odin and still no gps issues :S.

So basically... If your going to upgrade it to a rom you like, it should be fine :)
[Captivate General] theMaDHakkeR:
Get the rogers one if you don't want the ATT branding on the front of the phone. The rogers captivate only has the samsung logo on it.

Also the rogers captivate stock allows for side loading and mobile ap.
[Captivate General] monoespacial:
My biggest gripe right now is problems with unlocking the phone. I've read the forum but found that a lot of people report mixed experiences with this.
[Captivate General] shutterbc:
I believe they share the exact same radio bands, so you're free to choose. Anecdotally, it seems people are happier with the Rogers one... and many of them were probably built later (newer) than the AT&T ones which may help avoid some of the gremlins that early adopters have reported.
[Captivate General] monoespacial:
Yeah, but unlocking seems to be very hard and not at all a certainty...

Hi Sir,

Who can tell there are some App like HTC Footprints on Galaxy Tab?

Or can I install HTC's footprints.apk on Galaxy Tab P1000, how to install it on Galaxy Tab P1000?

TKS a lot!!!!
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
No.

You can't install it just like you can't install any other HTC Sense based app on a non Sense phone. AFAIK, there's nothing similar, except Foursquare and such :)

Sent from my GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Short Answer: No

Long Answer: No, Footprints requires HTC Sense, which is only available on HTC devices. The Galaxy Tab does not have the required libraries.

Interesting that someone finally actually _wants_ this application though. If you use CameraZoom and enable the GPS storage option then it'll at least Geotag your pictures, your next best option is probably some sort of app that links with Flickr or Picasa, or even (spit!) FaceBook so you can comment on the pics. I know Picasa supports geotags, I assume Flickr does as well.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] terminal 7:
footprints

i understand your need..

i too love footprints, the early version was just great, you can export each footprint as a .kml or .kmz file which the opens on your home pc running google-earth, you can view all your footprints as postcards - brilliant and not many people even realise thats what footprints is for..

the new version is even better adding extra features - sound bites and other graphc enhancements, still exports to google earth for pc too, simply brilliant application..

oh yeahh and no it cant be put on the tab !!!...

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Hey guys!

I just recently gotten T-mobile's G2! I already got it unlocked by paying $8 to get the unlock code :).

Soo, I have been doing a lot of reading regarding rooting, perm and temp, android , etc! I was a iphone 3GS user, so I don't have that much experience or any at all with android.

What is OTA? Does it mean "over the air" update?!

I am interested in rooting my g2. I checked the wiki out. However, there are couple of things I am not sure of.

First of all, what does stock rom mean? Is it like the original android 2.2 (fyro)? that is unmodified by T-mobile and other such carriers?

Did my G2 come with stock rom? or came with T-mobile's stock rom?

Also, I did update my G2 via "OTA" i suppose. How do I know I have the latest OTA? I am really confused about this part. I have checked various threads about it, but they were not able to clarify it for me.

Any links that would explain it, would greatly help me!

thank you guys & gals for help and replying !

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deliberate187:
There's a lot of great reasons to root, but a lot of great reasons also to stay with stock (like warranty). You DON'T need root to use an unlocked handset with another carrier. Just the APNs for that carrier (see Android manual for how to add one).

So, that said, the XDA wiki under HTC Vision has a lot of great info on rooting and SuperCID and custom ROMs, as does Cyanogen's site.

Stock ROM basically means "official" or "pre-loaded" ROM -- the one that the phone came with.

But before you begin anything I strongly encourage you to Google what "root" means on Linux and what it allows you to do, and ask yourself if you really need root before you start trying to get it on your G2. If you're not a hacker and just plan on using apps from the market you probably don't need it anyway. But I'll leave that decision up to you.
