Still having problems with rooting

I used the simpleroot program and it worked except the 4g and the tethering apps.
SteelH said:
Rooted a friends phone with that simpleroot as well. I believe the issue is you need nand unlocked to get those root apps to work (I could be wrong here). However, after doing simpleroot I did toasts part 2 and wifi tether worked fine.

I think Steelh wanted you to follow toasts's steps part 2. which can be found from the link below.

That's correct, you need nand unlocked which toast's part 2 does.

After rooting, if you get a force close on the wifi tether, go to the market and download wifi tether. It should work after that.

The latest SimpleRoot, I believe, does unlock NAND. You might just need to flash the latest radio and wimax for the rom you're using.

If you have a nandroid backup (you should) restore it, if not full wipe then install.

did you use #teamfenix 2.0

More importantly,
What did you do? What led you to being in this position?

Gave it to a friend then that what happened, no clue what he did, they thing is i fixed it before with that rom but now it says main version is older.
anyone knows how to find the lateset Firmware to try it?
Thanks.

teamfenix 2.0 didn't work.

Can you get into clockwork?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

Sound like you might have an A2sd problem with the boot.img. Could be a lot of things from not having an Ext partition to wrong Boot.img for that rom. If you installed TeamFenix and the a2sd add on without patching the rom this will happen. Or if you patch the rom without installing the a2sd add on you will get the same. Not saying you did any of this, just stating ways that it can happen. It is best to go into recovery and wipe Ext,Data,Boot,System and cache (thats what I do). Then install a new rom from there.

can't go to recovery, when i click on recovery it reboots then it stays on the Mytouch logo screen.

So many unsolved issues that are related to this. Has anyone found a fix or knows a fix?

Yeah really what's with all the people with broken recoveries? Damn. I replied to some similar threads, try the solutions there. Use the ESPRIMG found in the rooting guide maybe? Try selecting clear storage THEN let it install ESPRIMG.

also my hboot is 0.52.000 is that normal?

baseband version
47.41.35.10u_7.09.35.10

build
1.35.531.1 CL216830 release-keys

you should since that rom is rooted as well, just go into recovery and choose apply update.zip.. if you deleted the file from your sdcard then just put it back... the same way you did to enter and do the nandroid or flash that rom... read a couple of tutorials and you should figure it out on your own

no dude what i did was used a backup by falken never b4 rooted rom and flashed it with ota 1.35 and put latest radio on and now even when i use update.zip it says installation aborted which means im not rooted right and can i send in for warranty exchange and is the latest slide radio is official tmobile radio?

After you've rooted a device you should never update with something official, just wait for someone to post a rooted version. You can use nbetcher's root method to regain root, it works with the update. This should also be moved to Q&A (not flaming just saying). If you manage to get into clockwork install CR_Mod_OTA, it comes with the newest radio and everything else, it's the updated stock ROM rooted.

I don't think anyone is getting the question he wants to no for warranty purposes. No your not rooted anymore after applying the update posted by chiefz. You flashed the unrooted version which broke root so you are good to go. Everything is official and up to date

Unroot and revert to S-ON?

Basically I have to warranty exchange my Slide due to the front buttons under the screen not working. I need to know what the best way to unroot and revert my phone to S-ON with the stock ROM is. I'm currently running CM7 with custom MTD partitions. Any help is greatly appreciated

I think the fastest, easiest method would be CR's ROM
EDIT: Reverse S-Off Instructions on the bottom of the Original Post, flash the .zip provided on the bottom
which breaks root and S-Off. THAT should do it for ya Good Luck!

Only problem is that, that rom was not been pushed to phones yet by tmobile.
To answer the original post, flashing the champion build would revert it back to stock but i havent a clue how to get rid of s-off without flashing the unreleased stock 2.2

I have done warranty exchange on my Slide three times without once ever unrooting or reverting to S-ON
Tmobile has never once given me a problem with it, either.

Thanks so much for the help guys. I really appreciate it! I didn't realize that the ESPRIMG.zip at the bottom of the S-OFF post would revert to full stock. Thanks so much.
Now all I gotta do is wait. Using a feature phone for now

Pay for rooting my phone....

So I recently received a new or refurbished EVO from Sprint. It has the new 2.18 hboot and 5.0.....update. question is I'm willing to pay someone to root my phone using revolution method. Only if ur near the Downey, California area.
I had an old EVO that got the bootloop of death after 2years being rooted using unrevoked. I was reading that unrevoked can sometimes cause this issue. I want to use the revolution method.
Thanks for any replies.

Can't use Revolutionary to root Hboot 2.18. You have to use the HTCdev method. Info can be found here:

I didn't know the HTC dev and revolutionary was 2 different steps. Nice to know.

Another question if you or anyone else can help. There's a specific part on the video he states that if all I want is tethering and bloat removal I don't need s-off.
All I want is the Sprint stuff removed tethering and maybe add a few 3g and 4g speed tweaks. Can I do that without being s-off?

Yes. The only thing s-off offers is flashing kernels thru recovery and flashing radios pretty much.
Btw use flash image GUI for kernels if not s-off

Interesting. I've flashed kernels on my current phone through recovery, and I'm still s-on. No issues, either.

Very nice. That's exactly what I wanted. Kernel with sound enhancement.
Tether and data tweaks. I always thought I had to be fully rooted with s-off for kernels to work.

Getting excited now. Last couple questions... There's other tweaks caine has for 5.07 roms(quick settings...). Can I also flash those? Or do I have to be s-off?
Last question the wireless tether app should work just by having supersu and being unlocked or do I have to tweak the system to unlock the tethering service(sprint).

Not exactly sure what you're asking in the first part of your question, but you should be fine. As for the hotspot feature, you just have to be rooted, not s-off for that to work. Most rooted ROM's for the EVO include the hotspot, although some users prefer to use one of the apps from the Play Store.

Love the roms out there,but I want to keep my phone close to stock. I noticed most roms have the hotspot added. Most say hotspot tweak or unlooked hotspot added. So I thought I needed a specific tweak. Or remove a system file.
As for the first question. A dev created or added quick settings flashable zip to the new ota Rom. I wanted to know if I can successfully flash this zip? Hopefully that makes more sense.

This is the feature I'm talking about. Calkulin made a new deodexed ota Rom and ca1ne created this feature in a flashable zip.....

That should work fine. It's just a script to add some customization to the ROM.

The "simonsimons34 Wildfire S tool" that is used in that thread is not available. The service that was hosting the download file, some how messed it up or lost it or something, and the developer is having to recreate it. No time estimate on availability that I know of.
