The password showed up automatically and the same things happend and the update failed again and said failed to verify again
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
that...is freaky. all i can really say is try the one in the first post
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Ok ill try it now
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Nope the same thing happened from when i first tried the one from the first post jus an endless loop of instructions and no phone restart or detection
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
i can't think clearly,too tired. im going to go to sleep, sorry. I'll be more than willing to help when i get back.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Ok ill try one last time for the day
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
I updated the link on the 1st page
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] canterrain:
This isn't working for me, but I think I know why.

It detects my phone, loads commands, and starts loading the commands.

But there's spaces. Like, C:\documents and settings\stuff here\thing.exe.

And because of the spaces between documents and And and Settings the command isn't recognized. I get something like, c:\'documents' not found.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
OH wow, I didn't even think of that. I'm sorry dude I'll fix it. I do have a question. Does it say that on the command prompt or does a messagebox pop up and tell you that? The easiest way to fix it is move it somewhere with no spaces but if i know where it's goofing up I can fix it much easier.

Edit: I'm guessing it's at the command prompt so here's an updated exe, just replace the old one.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrgodai:
yeah it's at the command prompt, thanks for the fix!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Let me know if it works.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Ok now the CMD prompt is perfect but when esprimg i tries to update it still says main version is older! update failed!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Can you give me the output from the command prompt window when it says ./flash_image misc /data/local/mtd0.img please?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
It goes away as soon as it comes up its to fast to read
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
the cmd window immediately closes?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
yea then the phone restarts and and continues with the rest
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
that makes no sense,it shouldn't close immediately there is code to keep that from happening.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Thats exactly what it does
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
alright, i'll work on fixing that in a minute.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Ok and thanks for all your hard work I know your tired of answering these questions :P
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrchezzy:
I got a issue I got to the part of the espring.img part then press up but phone says virson on device newer what I do know????
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Okay I have good and bad news for you (I know you're tired of me lol). But I got it to run just fine BUT when it reboots it in the menu it only says reboot, bootloader, rebootbootloader, and power off. There is no update in the menu for me. Am I missing something this time? Thank you again for all the help before! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
When it reboots you need to press power to get into the bootloader to scan for ESPRIMG.zip, then let it flash, then blah blah blah follow the directions after that. Apparently I forgot to add that first step in, sorry.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrchezzy:
Well in my case it does find the img but when u press up to update it cums out and says firm on device is newer?? What now????
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
That means that misc.img didn't flash properly. Does the cmd prompt come up fine?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
im getting a signed failure as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Then can you answer the question? Does cmd come up properly?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Orangeandblue302:
ok here goes, first time i ran it cmd ran through fine, no problems. got to bootloader and it scanned when i went to recovery to apply the update. went through until the final line and it failed there.

tried to run it again and not its not recognizing my adb. i am treying to see if i can even get into adb shell manually right now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrchezzy:
Everything went find but the update part....can I get help here plz I love the fact that's its automatic..
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Okay gonna try that out and report back. Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Okay so I went thru the WHOLE process, loaded the esprimg and applied the update...It restarted and now its back the same way it was when I bought it lol. I'm gonna try it again and report back for to you.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
+1 i am rooted!!!!!!!!

I am rooted!!!!!! Woot! Thank you so much for all the help! Loving my new ROM! You've given life to my slide! I'm happy woman now!:D
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Has anyone else sucessfully rooted?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
what problem are you having, and when did you download the .zip

I have updated it a couple of times
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
I have. It took me a couple of days (super noob) and today I finally got it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Well the the cmd prompt goes succesfully the problem is when its time to flash esprimg it always fails to update and says "update failed! Main version is older!" and ill download your updated link because ive been using the files dbzfanatic posted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrchezzy:
I got the same prob and I still have not gotton a answer
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
we're trying to make this method super easy and just a simple clicks, so please explain as much as you can what your problem is.

dbzfanatic will look into it, fix it, and i will repost the download.

if you just keep failing at rooting, you could try my older version

http://goo.gl/BciUk

it does require a few more steps, but it is very easy as well.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
The esprimg fails to update and says "update failed! Main version is older!"
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
sorry guys I've been busy updating the thunderbolt easy-rooter. I've got a good version of it released now so I should be able to work on this more. I have some ideas on how to fix this already so it shouldn't be too long :)

Edit: ok guys try this one, I've changed the way some things are done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
tried this method tried the manual method and everytime i get to bootloader it searches for the esprimg.zip it says "no image or wrong image" . and also it is searching for a file called esprdiag.zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Does my program see your device? Does it say "flashing mtd0.img" and does it push esprimg.zip to your sdcard? (check by mounting your sdcard as usb drive,see if ESPRIMG.zip is there).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
Ya it does everything fine...i reboots my phone to fastboot, then i click bootloader and thats when it cant see/find the file...but i just read about formatting it the fat32, so ill try it after that.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
*facepalm* didn't even think of that. I just assume everyone's using fat32 because it's so common and most cards come formatted that way. Post back if that works.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
This is my wifes phone, so its like the first time ive used it. Buts its workin now after changing it to fat32 thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright thanks, I'll tell xolo to update the first post to include making sure it's fat32
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
This program is pretty sweet. Kinda like a one click root hahha
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah that's the point :P this one was/is a lot easier to code than my thunderbolt rooter though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
at the Android system recovery...

i clicked apply sdcard:update.zip

finding update package

opening update package

e:failed to verify whole-file signature

e:signature verification failed

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
what was the output on the program?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
it worked but i cant get to clockwork recovery, can i reboot my phone?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Did it ask you to flash a file before you tried going into recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
i followed the instructions on your program, it just wont apply the update
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
that doesn't really answer my question :/ did you flash a file in the bootloader when the phone rebooted?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
ya the esprimg.zip
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
and it flashed fine? didn't say anything about "main image older" or anything like that?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
No........
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
PM me your gmail so we can talk faster and I can figure out wtf is going on please.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Link updated
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
got it to work, very nice work. super easy root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
It still says main image is older! update fail!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
if it says that then mtd0.img isn't flashing properly. just to double check 1) is wifi off 2) is debuging on 3) is your card fat32 4)is your phone in charge-only mode 5) does it ever say "flashing mtd0.img" in the program?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Yes triple checked all of those and the prompt closes before I can read anything about "flashing mtd0.img", im going to try again and post whats happens.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
when did you download the file? we have updated it a few times.

You might have an older version that is faulty. When did you download it? yesterday, 2 days ago.. 2 weeks ago.. etc
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Same problem it shows:

SD cheacking...

Loading...[Esprdiag.zip]

no image

Loading...[ESPRDIAG.nbh]

no image or wrong image

loading...[ESPRIMG.zip]

Then it shows:

Then its shows:

Update Fail!

Do you want to reboot device?

<VOL UP> Yes

<VOL DOWN> No

then I click no and press power off to go into recovery, it goes to phone and red triangle I hit up and power then recovery comes up. I hit Apply sdcard:update.zip

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

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
I downloaded the newest one from the updated link on the OP.

Just 10 minutes ago
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
try this one, it has more output so you can tell me what goes wrong and where.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
This time it doesnt even update or check esprimg it just shows hboot and the options, should I click recovery?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Did you press power to get to the bootloader? Sometimes you have to for it to check.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Yes so what should i do now?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Other than swearing repeatedly all I can recommend is waiting for a bit until I get this sorted out. I've got a guy testing so I can see what the output of everything is and hopefully figure out what's going on.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
For me it started in fastboot, u have to click bootloader then it will check for esprimg
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Lol ok thanks and @mulletcutter i did hit bootloader
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I don't really think it'll do anything but you can try it, go into recovery and apply the update.zip file, but like i said i really don't think it'll work but i've been surprised before.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Just as you thought nothing... guess ill jus have to be patient.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I think I found the bug, I made some assumptions, some were right, some weren't.

Edit: added fixed version, all should be well now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Ill be ready to try as soon as you post the link.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I just did :P same times you posted that lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
Its checking hopefully this works...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
dbzfanatic........YOU HAVE CREATED THE ONE CLICK ROOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im now in clockwork recovery so to get the ROOTED stock rom from here what do I do??
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You're rooted already, or should be. You can now flash a custom rom if you want, i suggest cm7 (personal fave).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
U should of dl all the stuff u need b4 u did this...but u can mount ur sdcard in clockwork. I got cm7 rc2 on the slide and it works great
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
THANKYOU!!!!! So just hit reboot system now? And is CM7 stable because if not i would go with the CM6 stable after I S-OFF my slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
@mulletcutter I was just going to use rom manager afterwards.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah cm7 is stable.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
If u use clockwork it shoild dl the rom and gapps.

But this was one of the easiest root tools, better then goldcard mytouch3g haha
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah now that I got all the kinks worked out :P but thanks I tried to make it as painless as possible.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mulletcutter:
My only problem was i wasnt formated fat32, other then that it worked perfect. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Link updated agian
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jay-red:
I have read through this entire thread and still am having issues. First I got the file off the first post and when running the program it just says device not found and closes. I tried another version posted a couple pages in and it finds the device and "seems" to be doing something, but everything the command prompt says is stuff about things not being valid or improper paths, then the program seems to think its working because it asks me to toggle wifi and then it tells me what to do to finish, but my my phone hasnt done anything. Any help on getting the newer versions to see my phone?

Edit: just tried another computer with the same results, so i guess its something with the phone? I have it in charge only, usb debugging on, and wifi off. It still cant find the phone.

Double edit: I totally missed post number 15... to install htc sync drivers. Doing so now and will report back
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] xologist:
Are you sure it is well connected?

make sure when you connect it, it says in the status bar that it is connected to a computer.

Then run the app

Also on what lines are you getting errors?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
Also make sure it is debugging mode.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jay-red:
it was my fault for not having the driver installed from HTC sync. After getting that sorted out the program ran perfectly! Had a new rom flashed in no time! Thanks for this awesome program!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Glad it was something simple and you're welcome :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
Will this root the mytouch slide on official 2.2.1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
No it will not.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
Thanks for your answer but I prefer to here from the developer and see what he says
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] txdeathray:
No need man, after you get the official froyo update, there's only one way you can gain root access on your phone. Many people has tested this, only 1 method worked :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
Guess we don't know anything...

You could always try it if you don't believe us.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
Thank you both of you but can you make it work for 2.2.1
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
It will not work with the official ota. There is 1 and only 1 way to try to get root for you know and it's posted in this forum, try searching for it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
I already know about that way, I was just looking for an easier and faster process. Thank you for replying and for at least trying to help me out.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kitila:
FIRST OFF DOUCH MOVE.....if u would look through the forum u have seen that this does not work with 2.2 only way to root with 2.2 is goldcard method and if u don't have a micro sd reader or sd reader well guess u can't root...second the guys were only trying to help I mean 4real u want the dev to answer why would they it has been answerd..so take anyhelp u can get and be glad they helped you,cuz they don't have too
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
Calm down I already thanked them and secondly you would know that if you had read the rest of the comments.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
Ok, after rooting 7 Slides flawlessly, I am running into a problem on number 8. It goes perfectly as usual until I restart it in recovery. It scans and says wrong or no image when scanning for Esprimg. Any ideas? I have tried it 9 times so far with the same results.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
What firmware is the slide on?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
2.1 update 1, the same as all the others I have done.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] jimczyz:
Seems to have been a bad sd card, put the one I use as a back up and went flawlessly. Stupid bad sd card LOL
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] msl9150:
Yes this does work for the mytouch slide 2.2.1.

My rooted phone was stolen last week. I got a new one but of course it had the new firmware. I tried for 4 days to root my phone using the instructions on the how to root 2.2.1 thread. For some reason my files wasn't pushing to my SD drive. It was reading my device but it wasn't pushing the files.

I posted a thread on here answering for assistance and someone posted to try this that it worked. I wasn't sure if it would work but what the heck I thought. I followed all the instructions. Once it got to step 8 where it said " no image found" I thought oh well it's not going to work. I did the update on the phone anyways and rebooted. To my surprise my firmware was 2.1.1. I then went back to recovery and tried to update to go into clock recovery but I got a message about signature failed. No file found. I then opened up my "C" drive and went to the folder that had the files in my rooter folder. I copied the update file from there and placed it on my SD card and tried again, to my surprise it worked. I now have a rooted phone again running CM7.

I am a happy camper. This method does really work!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zavien:
well for me it failed numerous times until i did a shell root then did the ultra easy root method. Now my phones finally rooted without the gold card. just a few different steps were required to make it happen!!!! :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Seannoxious:
Every time i download this file it shows that it is corrupt and cannot be opened or extracted. If i change the extension to rar instead f zip i can see the files inside but i can not extract it. Can somebody reupload or show me what i am doing wrong.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Seannoxious:
This was in reference to a different root method my B.

I am having an issue though whenever i try to push the exploid file i get an error. I ran adb devices in terminal and it shows my phone as connected and then i ran adb shell rm -rf sqlite as previously stated by dbz but it is telling me the file system is read only.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You need to remount as rw. In shell "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system/ then run your command again.
[Desire General] seclm193:
Since froyo is released for cellularsouth, does this give us a ruu to flash back to?
[Desire General] bluedragon1971:
So far it doesn't seem like they have released an RUU for this, only the OTA update. And I can't get Unrevoked to root it either. Kinda sucks, since they disabled the wifi hotspot feature, which was one of my main reasons for wanting the update!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean_zenith:
i am now using the ZSJPG 2.2.1 version.

i use this version for few weeks already and there is no problem...

but yesterday i failed to turn it on and it stayed in "S" logo and vibrated....

so far i know 3 ways to solve this...factory reset, flash a rom or flash the original kernel...

but i want to keep my data and files!! which one is better??

thanks to everyone!

many thanks!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manosijmukherjee:
I too have a similar problem ! I tried re-flashing. it doesn't help. When I go into recovery mode, It says " update media, please wait E:cant mount /dev/block/stl10 ( invalid argument) E:copy_dbdata_media : Can't mount DBDATA :

your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

copy default media content failed. "
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean_zenith:
you mean you failed in both re-flashing rom and kernel??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manosijmukherjee:
Now it works.. Peculiar!

I was on I9000XWJV1 .. wanted to go back to I9000XWJS8. Tried JPY as well .. Was having the above mentioned problem. Now I flashed it again with JV1, now it works fine.

Could someone explain this ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean_zenith:
you flashed rom or kernel??

does your data still exist in your phone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manosijmukherjee:
all gone.. I flashed my kernel
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nikolai2.1:
I have my upgrade in August, but i was wondering what i should think about getting. For those of you that got the thunderbolt, how is it? should i get it?

I was thinking about the Bionic, but the Motorola bootloader situation is a Con for me, and the 0.3 mega pixel front camera. I wouldnt mind Moto blur too much, but i hope its not that laggy.

I dont want the X2 or Droid 3.

BUT, as far as the Targa... That thing is supposed to be amazing, should i get that?Quad core, but will it make a difference? I dont care about 1440p or intense gaming to be honest.

if the thunderbolt really is fast as lightning, ill get that, especially since its already rooted. i know ill be out of date even with the bionic, but the targa is gonna really knock me down.

Opinions? I think this thread could benefit everyone :)

Also what about that iphone 5? ;)
