Permanent recovery - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If this has been answered somewhere else, then my apologies.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get clockwork recovery to stick yet? I know there was a problem with not being able to write to that partition due to the spl, but I read a twitter post saying something about slide users updating their recovery image the other day and was hoping someone could clarify.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, I figured that would have made much bigger splash, but hey, dream big, right? Thanks, mang.

As of now, there isn't a perminant recovery without update.zip. waiting on new kernel in order to do so.

Settings question with cm6

I just got root and flashed cm6. I was redownloading apps, one which was till touch to talk. The app will not work because in my settings, about phone, mobile number, it says unknown. How do I get it to say my number? The area is greyed out so I cannot click. Thanks in advance.

Try a fresh install some people said that helped or try a different rom and see if it shows up if it doesn't call tmo and talk to them and say your number isn't showing up in settings it could be on tmo end

Maybe I will try a different rom. I called tmo but they didn't help cause they had to send an ota update which doesn't go through to the phone. Any recommended roms?

Well try or the crmod updated rom its the closest to stock so if it doesn't do it then it is a tmo problem

Ahh .. found the fix. Cyanogen actually implemented a setting in cm6 due to this problem. Go to settings-call settings-additional settings-then number. Once you type it in, it writes it to the sim card.

i've done this, however if you reboot the phone or put it into airplane mode the number gets wiped and you need to reprogram it.
Oh. Well thanks for the info. I can live with that for now. Then again, I don't ever shut my phone off. Lol

lol me either, except when i'm on the train - or flashing the nightlies in which case I need to redo it multiple times a day!
I noticed today that the voicemail number is also not saved to the sim card, or doesn't read it. Not a big deal since 123 dials voicemail. However it does prevent you from using visual voicemail and other services.

[Q] just a simple question I have that will decide wether I stay w/ HTC/get and i****

THE ONLY THING I WANNA KNOW is if it's true that for 90$ HTC (not t-mo, not whatever, only HTC) will give me a new phone (because mine fell to the floor from a really high height, and while everything works, it's really SCRATCHED, and the top part (the screen, the part you slide) got separated from the keyboard (now there's a gap between both middle parts). IT STILL SLIDES perfectly. Anticipated thanks.. OH, AND IN CASE IT IS TRUE (the 90$ thing), where do I fill a form or something like that?
oh, and btw I live in Paraguay (south america, no htc here).. and in case the 90$ thing isn't true.. what else can I do to fix my Slide?
Dude, you already have a thread you started about the same exact thing! You couldnt find it? Seems mulitple threads about the same thing is becoming more popular with people these days.

know what?
I actually think I might, because no one answers my simple question!!
Have you tried contacting HTC directly?
Htc will tell you yes or no. All we can say is maybe. Maybe make a new thread and someone from htc will see and reply to it...

If would be a lot faster and efficient to just call them.

Unable to Login to various forums

Ok I really am not a n00b but I am starting to feel like one. I have tried to log into a few different forums and everytime it always says it cannot match my username and password even though the same combo works on my PC. It doesn't happen to all forums just a few. Even the T-Mobile forums and I have seen people post from their slide.

What rom are you using?
It was that way on the espresso 2.1 and on the 2.2 Espressos. I haven't messed with too many other roms.

Need help

I just got a my touch and I flash cm7. And its on my phone how do I turn the s-off need help so I can update busybox
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using xda premium
What hboot are you running? If it is 1.02 or something then you will not get S-Off. If you are on .52 then refer to the s-off thread in development.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Depending on your HBoot version, if it's above 0.52 (or something close to .5), then you can't get S-OFF. If it is 0.52, then see this thread for instruction and stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798168
Were will I finds that .t stuff at in my phone

When you power down your phone, remove the battery and wait 30 seconds to allow to to be truely powered off. Replace the battery then hold the volume down rocker and press the power button. It should bring you to the hboot/fastboot screen. At the top has the info you need. Good luck.

[Q] Sprint phone flashed to Verizon no 3G?? help!

I had no problems with my 3G until Saturday morning. Then all of a sudden I cannot get 3G. I don't know what to do?
Well what I would do is connect the phone to qpst or cdma workshop and check to see if your AAA/HA keys are all still in place.
Could also be maintenance on towers in your area.

Would anyone reading this thread be willing to point me in the direction of a step by step thread on flashing epic 4g touch to Verizon prepaid? Since I am on boost network would I even be able to flash to Verizon? I really don't want to pay anyone to do this for me. Much appreciation in advance.

Well I did use this guide here.

Also I used the Verizon gutso 2 prepaid phone. I had a extra Samsung fascinate so I was able to get the 3g keys and all that.
If you don't have a Fascinate then you can follow this thread and pull the 3g info from the gutso 2 even after it was activated. At least it worked for me.

Thanks for the links. Is there any advantage of using the first method rather than the second one?
