I've been at this for awhile and anything I try doesn't work. I used the SDK & PdaNet drivers on Win-7 x64, none have worked at all. "Offline" will only show twice after pressing recovery, I even used the vid posted by Kingofroyo and it didn't work either. I tried 2 sd cards also, adb works on my rooted g1 perfectly but the slide wont work in recovery mode. I used the guide by Eugene and followed every step but loop is the problem.
I dont think the sd is the problem or the drivers. You probably are missing a step somewhere. I have rooted the slide 3 times and the incredible (with the impossible root method) 4 times. It isnt a driver problem. Not putting you down but i have done every method.
Can you explain step by step what ou are doing?

I had the same problem but I have xp. Mine would show up only twice. My advise to u is not to use the loop method. I had to type adb devices manually. Once it has been type u can press the up arrow key and it will put the command back in for u all u have to do is press enter. I did that and once it shows offline the second time stop doing that and move on to the other steps. I'll be honest it takes good timing good luck.

Same for me, it shows it twice only then that's it...loop is to quick for me to catch it, since it flashes pretty quick.
U will have to try the manual method then. My wife's slide the loop worked perfect I was done in 5mins. Once u get the manual method down it will be cake from there.

Manually do the adb devices thing

I'm gonna ask my bro to pull it so i can keep typing adb devices, it shows offline about 4-5 secs after pressing reboot.
I hade the same problem but what worked for me was to listen to the usb notification sound on your pc. It beeps (on mine at least) like 3 times. This served as a warning to get ready to hit ctrl-c. I personally hold down ctrl as soon as I hit the power button on my phone. As soon as you see the loop stutter the next one will be offline. Hit c! Then y. Then adb devices. You should see offline (or sometimes already recovery) then you can unplug/plug and go on with the steps. Hope that helps.

Ok try this "remove your sim card" it worked for me for some reason the sim card has something to do with the ability to cache the state of the device possibly do to it checking for a sim lock or something.
Also have patience its all about timing the loop.bat is by far the easiest way.

You can also try unrevoked3, that gets you su permissions then do toasts part 2 then use whiteslacks "how to start over method. Seems the long way around but you can usually avoid the problems simpleroot seems to cause some people.

ok guys good news...i tried the OTA simpleroot on the xp pc and everything went perfectly without any error, my phone is currently updating files in bootloader as we speak, but i have a question how do i user RA recovery instead of clockwork? does it matter or make a difference? or should i just leave clockwork and load a custom rom
personal preference really, i use Ra, just boot to recovery then flash away, either one is good, some say clockwork does not completely wipe ... I havent had any problems with either personally.
I had problems loading DC 3.2.X with clockwork... but ROM manager needs clockwork and is amazing

So I wanna root my phone using CWM3, and I know I have the drivers installed on my computer, but every time I run the root, it says the phone isn't connected. Sometimes it'll take me to the part where it says "running exploit," but it just hangs there for forever. Any help? Tried on two different computers already.

I've been having this problem too for the past few weeks. Nothing works. I tried to Odin back to the prerootedEC05deo.tar and I get to CWM 2.5 but can't flash any ROMS cuz they say in the OPs not to use this method. Anytime I run one click root it says arm5 bin missing. I've had my phone rooted since the beginning with much ease but not recently. I've tried all the steps here and on every other forum with no luck. Id appreciate any help in this matter. TIA

Sorry. Realized what it meant right after I responded. Tried it and it worked! You sir are the MAN! Now time run the straight blade across the wrist for not realizing this! :-[
When I first got my phone like many others, it vibrated when the phone first turned on and that's it. After flashing a few radios, I now have and have for awhile, the second vibrate about five seconds after the first. I think I read somewhere what it was, but can't seem to find it now. Did we ever figure out definitively what causes that?
I know in between flashing radios it stopped for awhile, and then came back and has been with me ever since. Not worried about it, just curious. Thank you.

I think it only shows up when you flash radios. I haven't flashed a radio on my past two devices and I have only one vibrate.

Shameless bump. I want an answer to this.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
I think first vibration is when you push button and phone is "okay, got it, I'm booting up" and then second when "I'm ready, you can enter your pin code". I had the same on Spica and there it was useful because it booted about 1 minute.

That makes sense but none of our phones ever did that until we started changing radios. So it's obviously not part of the "normal" boot up process.
I have not changed radios on my phone yet. It is rooted. I get the second vibration also. I have been wondering why it does this also. It did not start doing this until I rooted my phone.
Bumpity..... I'm curious as to why myself

I don't know what causes it but if you want to make it go away try this. Go to ROM Manager and select to download rom > virtuous > virtuous sense 1.0.2. Let it download all the way and then hit cancel, don't flash it. Then do a nandroid from within ROM Manager and it will be gone....back to just a single vibration at boot.
Ext3 vs ext4 ?
Ive Had This Issue A Few Times And After Trying To Fix It I Believe It Could Be Due To CWM Formatting The Devices Partitions As EXT3 When It Should Be EXT4.
Can Anyone With This Issue Please Confirm This By Posting The Result Of Typing "mount" In A Terminal.
Their Should Be A Line Which Says "/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 on /system type" And Then The Filesystem Type.
I Hope That This Is The Cause As If I Am Correct It Will Be An Easy Fix

I noticed a few months ago that after I took virtuous froyo for a test run that my second vibration was gone. Since then I flashed a new radio and the second vibration came back. I thought I'd test what had happened before and low and behold just downloading it with rom manager and creating a backup got rid of the damned thing. One of those wtf moments...lol. It must have something to do with the old vs. new ext. as OllieD suggests.

Just ran that in an ADB shell. Here's what I got:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p25 on /system type ext4 (ro,relatime,barrier=1,data=ordered)

So it's not the formatting. There's another reason why there's a second vibration, but that's really a minor bug.
Misc Partition?
Can Someone With The Bug Please Dump Their Misc Partition?
Run "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17 of=/sdcard/Misc.img" In A Terminal And Upload The "Misc.img" File From Their SD Card Somewhere ?
Based On The Previous Fix Mentioned I Believe It Could Be To Do With The Way Rom Manager Reboots Into Recovery.
A Command Is Stored Somewhere That Lets HBoot Know Which Mode To Reboot Into.
An Error With This Command Probably Causes The Second Vibrate And When Rom Manager Reboots Into Recovery It Clears This Flag. Although I Remember Flashing Various ROMs Via Rom Manager Without This Issue Being Fixed.

Is it possible to use my EVO 4G as a USB drive to boot into portable linux? I have used yumi to install mint linux on to my SD card on my EVO, that installed the distro(s) just fine. When I put the phone in disk drive mode and then boot up my computer, it starts to load up Linux and then all the sudden my phone kicks out of its disk drive mode and boot up on the computer stops. I hope that makes sense???
Maybe its just not possible, or I just suck at it.... After all I am a newb. I have done this before on a thumb drive and it worked fine. Anyway I appreciate anyones help.
Also I have tried this on a gb sense rom and gb aosp rom no dice.
This is a link of the EVO 4G LTE doing it.

Well the reason it kicks out is because, well it sense the computer is no longer connected, so it gets out like if you unplugged it.

Its a exe that extracts into a temp folder. Its nothing but ODIN app, once ODIN program starts, connect your phone and it should show up as yellow box on it and hit start , thats it. I did that on 8.1 so pretty sure you are missing something else. Are you sure your drivers are installed properly? On my laptop as soon as I put my phone in download mode, the drivers got installed automatically and the yellow box came up within no time.

Indeed my friend I was doing something wrong.
I forget about the download mode, as soon as I did it, ODIN recognized the Device.
I hit start after that, a couple of minutes ago, but the program is not responding. There's CPU activity with the process so I'll wait a couple of minutes more but if nothing happens I supposed will try again.
