[Q] Unroot or getting flashplayer - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a mytouch slide rooted under cyanogenmod-7.0.2-slide
PLEASE TELL ME how to get flash player on it. I looked in market but only flash player showcase is available. Also how would I install original stock rom to get 2.2 upgrade PLEASE HELP

Why would you want to unroot just to get the bloated official 2.2? There is a rooted version of the official OTA 2.2 in the forums.

You don't. Flash doesn't work on our phones with anything other than the stock firmware.

Full flash will not work at all on our phones. Our CPU isn't compatible with the full version.
Go back to a bloated, slow, ugly looking offical OTA ROM so you can get a half-assed flash lite that is really slow or have no flash at all.
Your choice

[Q] can i update to froyo if im rooted

i know it'll not be rooted anymore but will it break if i check for updates and update it
if you want to upgrade then yes you will loose root. it should update no matter what unless you are using a different rom or the leaked version of froyo that went out on july 31st. not to sure about the rom thing
i am using a diffrent rom
fresh evo or something
so how do i update?
well if you can update try going to settings > System Updates > Software Update
but i would definitely read around the site a little to see if it will work. It has been a while since i have flashed a custom rom before.

Why not just flash a rooted froyo rom? Unless u really wana go back to stock don't update to ota through system updates via settings. I would just flash one of the many froyo rooted roms on this site if I were you.

Ya either that or modify the update's hboot.img to the engineering hboot..0.76...the flash the update...finally, flash Su-e-unsecured.zip
Most roms (i am pretty sure FRESH doe) block the update using the settings update. If you go to the stock rooted rom you should be able to update or if you "unroot" first you can then go to the ota update and get official 2.2.
I will say flipz just put out his fresh 3.0 froyo based rom it is working great for me with froyo while keeping root.

Evo root 2.1 to 2.2

I havean evolution that was rooted with 2.1. I am wondering if I can just put a 2.2 rom on it or should I unroot, update to 2.2 then reroot?

Isn't an Evolution a car?
Why would you possibly want to un-root?

Just boot into recovery, do a nandroid backup, then a full wipe and flash the new ROM.
Dang auto-correct...no evolution, just an evo...thanks...that's what I thought

Also, i am wondering if i can put the newest official rom on it while its still rooted so it will be stock 2.2 apart from being rooted, and if not, what is the closest to stock 2.2 rom that runs stable and isnt missing anything. Im doing this for a friend and he wants stock 2.2 with root access

Well the general rule for root users (and soon to be root users) is never take the unrooted OTA update from Sprint until an official root method for it has been confirmed. That said, I've read in another thread that Unrevoked 3.21 (or whatever the newest version is) apparently worked perfectly for at least one person.

If she wants that crappy custom version of htc sense, use CR MOD or nbetcher mod. It is the stock T-Mobile 2.2 OTA but with root access and it doesn't flash a new radio or hboot.
If you want something fast and amazing, try CyanogenMod 6 or CyanogenMod 7

I was going to put on CyanogenMod but her phone doesn't recognize her internal sd card. I can get into recovery but cant apply up date nor can I put a rom on her interal drive. Not sure what that's all about. Wish I could use Odin or something.

need to restore phone but how do I keep jelly bean ?

I hope someone can help with a dilemma I have.
I need to flash back to stock rom and do a factory reset on my AT&T SGIII - this I know how to do . However, what I don't know is if the links I've found for tar files for a stock restore (like the one posted here)are for the ice cream sandwich version that launched with the phone, or the newer jelly bean version.
If it is the older version, once I'm done restoring it back to stock and factory settings, will I get an option to update to jelly bean thru AT&T?
Or do I need to find a stock AT&T jelly bean file to flash? If so, where do I find that?
any help would be appreciated. Thanks

this shouldnt be posted here check the general section for going back to stock
Did you update your phone to AT&T 4.3 stock rom via an OTA update? If you did, do not flash any rom that includes an older bootloader as the flash will brick your phone.

No. Ever since going to the Sonic FreeGS3 Resurrection rom, I have been on the 4.1.1 version. I've never been to a more current version than that since that was the last version update for this rom and I liked it just fine.
Even though I'm not wild about having to return to stock, I am at least excited about (hopefully) being able to go up to the latest version released by AT&T. But I wasn't sure if I need to flash a stock 4.3 version AT&T rom (or even where to find that) or if I could just flash the original released stock rom and then be prompted with OTA updates to go to the newer versions.
Any thoughts or input is greatly appreciated.
The latest version of the AT&T ROM is 4.3 which can be done via an OTA update or Kies from a stock 4.1.1 AT&T ROM.
Any reason you need to return to stock? Personally, I would not go near 4.3 as it's not required to install KK ROMS and, once on 4.3, rooting, etc. becomes more complicated.

I have to for work. That's the only reason I'm going back to a stock rom. Plus I want to trade my phone in after a few more months once my contract is up.

[Q] Jelly Bean to Lollipop?

I'm running rooted stock 4.3 N900TUVUBMI7.
It was flashed back in December 2013 since that was the only way to accomplish root.
I had no interest in KitKat but do want the official Lollipop.
Because I'm rooted I'm unable to even download and successfully install the KitKat update.
Is there a way to update my 4.3 Jelly Bean to the latest official 5.? Lollipop?
If so, how? Can it be upgraded or will it need to be flashed fresh?
If it is a fresh flash, can I just download the official lollipop and flash with odin?
Already have my apps backed up, so it's not the end of the world if I lose them.
TIA!

There is a great thread that was started by TEKHD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672393
He walks you through using ODIN to take 4.x.x firmware to 5.0 stock, then additional steps to root, add a TWRP custom recovery (needed to flash a custom ROM), and a few additional things. The link he posts for the actual stock firmware is from sammobile which is a great site but the download speeds are abysmal if you aren't a premium member. Here is a media fire link that I used: http://www.mediafire.com/download/cuoz62g1ca6id9t
Have fun! Btw it is recommended to wipe your device, but I decided not to do that to test if it would work (I had a full nandroid and EFS back up just in case) Stock lollipop upgraded flawlessly and I kept all my apps contacts etc etc... Now im waiting on a decent 5.0 non Touchwiz ROM. I've been using ECHOE ROM which is made for n9005 and is a TW but works with t-mobile as long as you flash a wifi fix. I like Filchis wifi fix. The ROM itself is buttery smooth but im hoping CM12.1 will be awesome with 5.1 lollipop

Thanks for the reply, thread worked perfectly.
Did flash as just an upgrade but it broke my messages. Wiped it and started fresh, no issues so far.
Thanks again!
