No. You can download from your computer and then adb push the file but you can't actually mount the internal storage from a computer.

Why would you want to download to phone storage? No sdcard? The slide barely has storage as it is

I'm having some major problems with my phone.
It doesn't see the SD card, boot loops only sometimes with the sd card in it while booting, resets 1 out of every 2 times it unplugs from a computer, and adb won't see it. Its not even rooted.
I was hoping I could downoad z4root and run clockwork recovery and flash CM.

You can't flash a recovery with a one click temporary root like that, because you lose root on reboot. It doesn't flash the engineering bootloader with the recovery that allows you to flash self signed packages like clockwork recovery. The stock recovery doesn't allow self signed packages, so it wouldn't work. One click root like that is just for running root applications more or less. You have to follow the full rooting guide, I'm pretty sure the new one is by nbetcher in the dev section, check it out.
You also MIGHT have a bad sd card, try a different one, borrow a friend's or something, see if it's the phone or the card.
Ahh. Thanks for the clarification
No, its not my sd card. I CAN see the sd card in bootloader tho, so I know it isn't hardware. Any ways to root without ADB or the SD card?

Well if you can see your sd card in the bootloader and recovery you *SHOULD* be fine. That's where you really need the sd card. I've never actually rooted though, I got this phone already rooted so read through the guide, maybe mount usb storage in recovery to transfer files to the sd card.

I've tried about every rooting guide out there. But ADB and this phone don't like each other. So I get nowhere fast.

What are you installing? The HTC sync app from the HTC site? Those have the drivers you need, not sure if the google ones work.
I'm using the official HTC sync drivers strait from their website.

Then it should be working. Hmm. Have you run the SDKManager in android-sdk and updated all of the USB driver packages and such?
Yessir. I've done everything I can do. Unless there's a computer-less root method that only uses the SD caed while in bootloader, I'm screwed.

There is actually, someone discovered it the other day, look in the android dev section for PCless root or something like that, it uses the sd card and a temp root app.
When I read this, it was like music to my ears. (No pun intended.
Except, since universal androot isn't in the market, I can't download it, because the sd card doesn't work. So I'm still outta luck.

Oh. hmm. That's unfortunate. The only thing I can think of is trying to mount a folder on /data as /sdcard. I don't know if you'll be able to do this without root though, it's worth a shot:
Code:
$ mkdir /data/tempsd
$ mount /data/tempsd /sdcard
I'm not sure if that would work even WITH root though, so no guarantees. Kind of impossible without adb AND an sd card. I forget, is it possible for you to get a warranty replacement?
Ill try that in the morning. I doubt it'd work tho. I CAN get a warranty replacement from HTC. It'd probably take a good month tho. A month without a smartphone. I'm not sure if i'd survive...

It might be worth it for one that works though. You can try to ask t-mo for a loaner phone, but I don't think they give people loaner smartphones, so maybe not

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
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
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?

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.
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
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
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
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.

It does sound strange. Have tried switching between 2g and 3g to see if it makes any difference?

2g makes no diff, ill have to wait for a phone to use and call them, and then most likely get a new phone, then unroot mine yaya and so on lol.

If you are both T-Mob, then of course you are the same network. They don't build a new set of cell towers just for pre-paid. They just change the way they bill you.
ya need to get a new phone, went back to stock rom and still is messed up
called tmobile and it turned out to be my sim card was a older version and had switched networks too many times and couldnt connect anymore. took the one that came with the phone and got it setup and its all good again.

Well, if the memory on the SIM card is akin to flash memory, I guess it's possible.

Really? Totally believe you just dont see the logic behind it. Why would they make a sim card only be able to switch networks so many times? Makes no sense. The person you talked to probably just had no idea what they were talking about!
Pretty much every rewritabe non volatile memory technology out there has a limiter number of writes that can be performed on it before it fails. Maybe a SIM card will last for > 10 years. I don't know, I haven't been with a single provider long enough to find out. I can see where this was a logical hypothesis on the part of the rep, and since replacing the sim worked, where is the problem?

I just got this phone(2months barely used) and everytime I try to put in my Google account I get "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" I have AT&T and I'm just trying to use this for a music/gaming phone. How can I activate my Google account to get on the market(play store). I haven't rooted or unlocked the bootloader yet but was thinking of doing so. Any help would be awesome. Please help?

Try a different data connection......if it doesnt work,factory reset your phone once......maybe that could help
Just a thought, but have you tried setting up the account on a WiFi connection? Could well be a network-related issue. And the 'Background Data' option under Settings>Accounts is checked?
Yes I got it. I don't understand lol. I took the 8gb sd card from my other phone put it in the WFS and it worked no problem :/ but thanks guys

I've went through hours of research and to no avail feel as thought I've gotten nowhere.
I bought this phone used, with what looks to be from an AT&T carrier previously (based on start up screen). Did not come with original SIM card. I want to be able to use StraightTalk services with it, and have already bought the SIM and is on its way to my house. I also want the ability to uninstall the factory installed apps that AT&T locked onto the phone.
From what I was informed, getting the calls and texts from StraightTalk onto the phone will be a simple task. Using StraightTalks 3G internet however wont work. That's were the unlocking comes in. Unlocking will also let me uninstall those factory apps as well I hope?
Would greatly appreciate any help I could get on this topic and hope that maybe this will help any future views with the issue.
Thank you!!!
No need to unlock. Your data will work fine as long as you adjust apn. To rid your phone of bloatware however you will be required to root. Not unlock.. The iphones are a little different story, but you don't have that so don't worry about it

Excellent! Will the APN change take place during the StraightTalk transfer when I put in the new SIM card? Manually, Automatically?
Also, rooting could be potentially dangerous based on what I read. Are There any good guides on this?

APN change takes place once the StraightTalk SIM has arived. Details are suppose to be provided within shippment.
What I don't understand is, once I put the AT&T Compatible SIM into my phone and transfer my number over, without unlocking the device this is, will the service be provided over AT&T towers?

No, you will have to go into settings, mobile networks, and search when the new sim card is placed in the phone.
Rooting is not dangerous, installing things on the phone that aren't made for it or installing apps from non trusted sources are dangerous.

As long as it is ATT and not TMO sim it will use ATT towers to deliver service to the phone.
OK this is pissing me off so much but I used to have 4g then it went out and had 3g it would do that like every 2 weeks and now (I know it sounds weird) I have to bring the 4g in like if I go to the corner block and pick up 4g and go back to my house it will stay till new reboot then I will go back to 3g I just want to know what's going on? Is there a fix ? Or is it normal
Also I have 2 more questions
How the hell to I fix the lost and found error on twrp? It bothers me
And finally I can't transfer my back up to my laptop like only 2 files will copy I can't also transfer it to my SD card it says root permissions required!
Thanks in advance if u reply ^_^

Well first of all Sprints 4G coverage is rather spotty right now since they are still making progress on their massive network upgrade. So yes it is probably normal.
I am not sure of the error you speak of in TWRP but I am sure if you ODIN back to stock and re root and install TWRP again everything will be fine.
And I assume the backup transfer issue is also related to the problem you are having with TWRP.
Instead of walking down the street to pick up the 4g have you tried just toggling airplane mode on and off and seeing if it picks up the 4g.
