[Q] hepl ?? help??T-mobile My Touch Slide Bricked. Enable Usb-debugging?

I was rooting my phone earlier. I successfully rooted it, but when I started to install the ROM, it froze when it was near completion. When I booted it back up, it froze at the My Touch logo. I have tried factory reset, hard reset, all that. I could probably return it back to stock if I could enable USB-Debugging, but I can’t access the phone if it freezes up at the logo screen. Is there any way to enable it through Fastboot, Bootloader, or any other method? I tried reformatting the SD card but it won’t read in the adapter. If there is no way to fix it, I’ll just return back to T-Mobile and get it replaced. If I do end up taking it back to the store, do I have to bring my SD and SIM card with me? Sorry for all of the questions. Try to answer as much as you can. Thanks in advance for the answers.

Can you access clockworkmod recovery at all?
edit: nvrmind, try finding another sd card and place the engineering build on it, then boot in the bootloader that says "fastboot, recovery etc etc"
you can find the engineering release here http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html

thanks ill try it right now
do i need to rename this file or just leave it as is

Keep the file name the same, and once u boot in that bootloader, the bootloader will automatically install the file. After its done installing, reboot the phone.

Alright
1) Check if the file is 137 megabytes (to see if the file completely downloaded)
2) Check if your SD card is corrupt and needs to be formated (as fat32)
3) Also be sure you place the file at the root of your SD card (do not put esprimg.zip inside a folder)
4) Be sure you did NOT extract the zip because your not supposed to extract its contents.
If none of these work/help please post back

Ok I did all these step above and I reformatted the SD card to fat 32 then its starts loading but when its done its said MAIN VERSiON IS OLDER
Update fail

Well im not sure if there is a newer version of that file...hmm since you got your sd card to read on your fone, now u have the ability to enter clockworkmod recovery.
1) Place this "update.zip" on your sd card http://www.mediafire.com/?s4eopbn5smkyen6
2) open the bootloader then press recovery
3) it should show a picture of a phone with a red exclamation mark
4)volume up and power button on that screen
5) press apply sdcard:update.zip
you should now be in clockworkmod recovery and from there you should know what to do

So should I remove the esprimg.zip then put the update.zip by itself in the SD card

when i press recovery its jumped to splash screeen again and its keeps frozen there

Ok I'll help you out here. Search for "slide ROM bible". In there is a link to the thread telling people how to flash the ENG build. It's broken down barney style so it's easy to understand. Most of the stuff you see flashing up is normal and the version difference is normal too, you have to do something special to make it work. So read it, love it, worship it. It's the bible for this phone.
Btw, you're phone isn't bricked. If it were, you wouldn't even get to the splash screen - let alone fastboot and recovery. Trust me, I have a few paperweights so I know a brick when I see it.
One last thing, flashing the clockwork recovery update.zip WILL NOT WORK UNLESS YOU HAVE ALREADY FLASHED THE ENG BUILD. That's why it failed. Flashing a custom rom won't work either. The only way to do it without the ENG build is via adb and catching it in recovery, very hard task. The ENG build resolves that and removes the signature check allowing you to flash things without adb.

hi . honesty i dont know what to do
do you have any link for this bible rom

I've been tryin 2 get him 2 work the eng build but It didn't work 4 him. Hopefully u can help KCRic
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App

yup doeasnt work

Here is the link on how to flash the ENG build. Make sure you know where the ENG build zip is after you download it, I suggest putting it in your android sdk tools directory (less typing). Then follow the instructions and you should be up in running in no time. Let me know if you have any ?'s.
Oh, this is the link to the youtube tutorial, thought it might help.

Splash screen issues?

Cant get the splash screen to take. When in cmd in my sdk\tools, and I fastboot flash splas1.... it keeps telling me failed. Signature verify fail, whats going wrong, PLEASE HELP.

How did you root the device?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I used unrevoked but this is the first problem I've had with anything.

With the unrEVOked method it is best and easiest to download a pc36img.zip from the unrEVOked website. Then replace the splash1 file with the one you want to use. Place on root of sdcard then boot into recovery. It will scan sdcard then ask if you want to update the Pc36img.zip just volume up for yes then new splash screen will be flashed.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I think I may have found the problem. Some how I turned s-on. Installing unrevoked forever. That should work.

when I boot into bootloader and it scans the p36img it doesn't give me an option to update. It goes straight to options list.

Be sure that you have the file named correctly. It should be pc36img.zip a lot of times there is an extra .zip at the end. And also be sure you have the correct contents inside the folder. It should be named exactly as the one you are replacing. Leave all the other files inside the .zip as is. Just replace the splash1 file.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

still does not work. phone does not give me any opption to update .zip after scanning card. Never has. Even reinstalled the original pc36img.zip on zip. It scans but goes straight to the options list for fastboot, recovery, etc. My wifes evo does it to. They both have done it even when completely stock, before root.

And you are putting the .zip on the root of the sdcard right.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Yes and I've done everything. Renamed the .rgb565 img and put it in the .zip folder. The problem I think is the phone. I don't know why but none of the four evos I've worked on read the pc36img.zip. Why would this be. I've read some rooting tutorials that talked about rooting through the pc36img.zip file, but my phones have read and let me update. I don't get it!

Very weird. Don't know what else to suggest. I am at a loss.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

We gave it a shot. I just don't know why it won't give me the option to update. Usually, with some assistance I can find out what I'm doing wrong and fix it. Thanks for puttin some time in to help.

Trying to recovery partially bricked phone

Okay, so a friend asks me to fix her Dinc... here's the story.
When I first got the dinc, it only powered up into FASTBOOT (HBOOT 0.92, Radio 2.15). The volume and power buttons don't work. She said it crashed when she FC a program to get more memory.
I tried to flash the phone using pb31img.zip on a newly formatted (fat32) sdcard. It scans the card and errors with older version.
Next I try to flash with RUU. That was successful and I can boot into the phone... in safe mode. In addition, if I shut down the phone and power up again, I get stuck in FASTBOOT and have to redo the RUU.
Okay, I figured with the phone booting into Froyo, all is not lost. I tried to use unrevoked to get root and poke around. That failed with error asking if firmware is too new.
I try to install z4root... that doesn't work either since safe mode seems to mean only default system programs work (I can install, but can't run). Probably why unrevoked failed also.
I'm starting to think it is a hardware issue since the RUU should have fixed everything.
Any ideas???
Thanks.

Go to this website and follow the steps to exit safe mode and see if that solves your problem.... let me know?

As I mentioned, none of the buttons in fastboot seems to work, so I can't reboot, just a battery pull. Interestingly, when I have the pb31img there, it scans and tells me its an older version, but then the buttons work... reboots back into fastboot.
I'm thinking of trying the revert to 2.1 and go from there... is it safe to flash over the latest Froyo RUU with 2.15 radio with the following?

Can't get the fastboot to recognize any pb31img.zip file now... it only worked when I first got the dead phone. Now that I have flashed with RUU, the fastboot won't recognize the pb31img file.

Any luck Woz?

Yes, Doug gave me a bunch of roms to flash. Nothing worked. The last step we did before I took a break was to get into recovery using adb. Then I wiped cache and data. That didn't seem to work. Flashed another rom using recovery. Nada.
I put the phone down for a few hours. Then I decided to crack it open to see if it was a refurb (cheap label makes me suspicious). Nothing unusual inside, I put it back together and powered on... the thing booted normally... everything worked.
Doug suspects it was the data/cache wipe, I don't know. I think it was the bug that got let out when I cracked it open.

Flashing New Radio

I downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my Rooted Evo 4G as per xHausx thread. Everything went well.
I am about to flash the Radio he has in his thread here >>
Standalone Radio PC36IMG (must be flashed through the hBoot/fastboot)
Evo Radio Version 2.15.00.04.08
(MD5 1ECE6F6BC355AFB721BA7264F82DD1E7)
-I downloaded the file using my Evo and it is a ilivid.exe file.
- I renamed it PCM36IMG.zip in Root Explorer
I don't know if the above 2 steps I did are correct, which is why I am asking here.
Do I have to use my pc to achieve the Radio Flash, or can it all be done using my Evo.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
If this has been discussed already, just point the way.

You put the file on ur your evo (you dont need root explorer) and boot into bootloader then in bootloader go to fastboot and then it says start update and click vol up for yes
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App

Did I rename it properly?
Don't you need root explorer or similar to rename, and to download zip from?
In addition, the power button submits your choice.

No you dont need root explorer and yes you press power to go to fastboot but one you have the file on your sd card go to fastboot and then it says update and press power up

And do NOT pull the battery for any reason. It will hang on a stock recovery screen the reboot and finish updating

No you didnt name it right its PC36IMG (no zip) you misspelled it wrong u put a M in front of the 3

Thanks everyone for your input.
I downloaded the Radio/WiMax combo but when I went into recovery and chose the .zip file, it said checking radio, but then I got the default bootloader screen again.
I clicked Reboot & Install after the download was complete and nothing. Just get the Rom Manager Home screen.
Will try later again after I figure this out.
Update:
I am in the process of flashing that zip and is in progress.
Will see what happens.
No luck.
I'm done for now. Don't know why I'm having so many issues as compared to flashing Gingerbread??
UPDATE!
SUCCESS FINALLY!!
- I downloaded the File in xHausx thread >>
Firmware:
Must be flashed through hBoot/Fastboot! Not Recovery.
PC36IMG - Radio, WiMAX and PRI Updates (MD5: 2E5C63EA59891A69F6D55C257CF165D5)
- I renamed it PC36IMG.zip using Root Explorer
- I moved PC36IMG.zip to the Root of the SD card using Root Explorer by selecting 'Move', then going to 'sd' then Pasting PC36IMG.zip there
- I used QuickBoot and entered HBoot and FastBoot mode
- PC36IMG.zip was recognized
- I pressed the 'Vol Up' key to acknowledge 'Yes' to continue with PC36IMG.zip (@jadden....Now I know what you meant by ''pressing vol up to start download )
- After Update was completed, I pressed vol up for Yes to Reboot
- Evo started up and I checked the Radio, etc. and SUCCESS!!
One of the issues I had before was that I didn't put the PC36IMG.zip into the Root of my sd card.This is why FastBoot didn't recognize the .zip
After much time spent with having issues, and after reading the help I got here, and Googling, the whole Process of FastBoot took 2 minutes!!
Thanks for everyone's input!
I still don't know why I couldn't use Rom Manager Recovery as suggested regarding the Radio files from Caulkins thread. I must have missed something. Maybe I should have used Recovery in Quick Boot I guess. But a moot point since I was able to use FastBoot regarding the link to the Radio in xHausx thread.............

You guessed it, I dropped the Evo and the Screen shattered!!
After All this Work......UnF'nBelievable!!
I have TEP so I'll have to order another one.
I had my Evo running so nicely.
I'll order it not activated, install Root and Install the Deodexed Gingerbread version as I did prior.
I would love to just have the Glass/Digitizer replaced, But that may be more trouble than it's worth..................

Yeah but if you get it replaced they will give you an evo that has official gingerbread which can't be rooted yet.

Well, That Sucks!
I thought maybe it wouldn't have Gingerbread in it, and I'd have to do an OTA update myself, which I wasn't going to do.
Hopefully there will be a Root available soon........
Btw, if it does come with GB installed, can I install Froyo and then Root?
Update:
I just called Asurion, and they have Evos in stock. Will be shipping out tomorrow, 5/6 Monday.
Since the Official Gingerbread is also being made available tomorrow, and I asked that my replacement Evo Not be activated, it will probably be shipped with Froyo installed. Which would be just the way I like it..................

after you flash it the radio , how do you know it has been flash, what has been changed that you can see and where can i see it to make sure??

Edito you know the thread where I could get it from?

As the previous poster said... if you still have S-OFF but need to get the custom recovery back you should be able to do that. Go to this thread and download the recovery image in the PC36IMG.zip format. You should then follow the instructions if the first post of that thread labeled "- the Bootloader way -":
- Place PC36IMG.zip on the root of your sd card.
- Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
- Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go.
