There's the video, guys.. have fun and be careful!
written instructions are as follows:
OK! so you've decided to take on the menial task of installing a custom rom, to make your mytouch... well for lack of a better term, YOURS! If you've had a G1 or a Mytouch 3g in the past, as I have, then the process is much the same..
Step 1
Download your rom from the website to your computer *durrrrrr* also make sure your device is in normal operating mode, and also download the update.zip for clockwork recovery if you dont already have it from HERE
Step 2
Copy the rom and update.zip for clockwork from your computer to your phone's SD card root directory, also known as /sdcard
Step 3
Power off phone
Step 4
Power onto Fastboot mode with Volume Down button and Power
Step 5
Get into recovery mode by pressing volume down once fastboot loads, and then power to select
Step 6
Once in recovery basic mode, where you see the triangle with red exclamation, hold volume up and press power again
Step 7
While in recovery mode, hit volume down to get to apply update.zip which will put you in clockwork recovery as long as the update.zip for clockwork recovery is on your sd card
Step 8
After applying your update.zip, you're going to scroll down to install zip from sd card using volume down button and then power to select
Step 9
Once again, go to install zip from sdcard and press power
Step 10
Select your zip in the menu, then press power
Step 11
Wait for zip to install and hope to hell the zip is signed correctly and not damaged
Step 12
After zip installs, back out to main menu and reboot phone!
Step 13
Wait for Rom to load 100%.. WATCH YOUR LOGCAT TO VERIFY NO BOOTLOOPS!!!
Done!!
If you download "QuickBoot" from the market you can boot directly to "Recovery" bypassing the bootloader.
Re: [how-to] put a custom rom on your slide!!!
I'm assuming this is a tutorial for future rom releases, correct?

well there's already 2 out at this time, with slideroot2 and the legend rom.. there will be tons more, i'm sure.. so yeah, this is a generalized install procedure for such things
I like the addition of the ADB & logcat steps! Nice touch, man...
heh thanks i want users to be able to see what they did and begin to learn how to fix future mistakes lol
I love the legend ROM but I needed the keyboard one night so I switched to slidemeroot2.
Any chance for Keyboard lights coming?
Also, couldn't load titanium backup in the legend. Any suggestions there?
to get titanium to load right, you have to install a different superuser.apk than the one that's stock. i dunno why exactly. also, legend is a BETA so it'll be updated soon by eugene, it is by no means a final version
Thank you. It is a pretty sweet beta.
Hate to state the obvious, but you should mention that this requires your MT3G Slide to be rooted... you know peeps will come out the wood works asking "why cant I do this!"

Does this mean that I don't have to root first to flash roms? Can i boot to recovery and flash to eugene's already rooted rom?
once you downgrade to the eng build, you can flash any rom for the slide... you have to root and then flash that downgrade though before you can do anything to it
When will a permanent recovery flash come available? Only a minor inconvenience since it only is two extra steps using the stock recovery... well three including copying the update.zip over.
whenever the spl comes, is when it comes i dont have a date/time for ya, devs are working on it... i know one in particular made a bit of progress yesterday, so we'll see what happens when it happens
Ok, I tried to install the SlideM ROM and and ran into an issue I'm not really sure how to fix.
I followed your video and instructions to the letter but on reboot the phone stopped at the first T-Mobile flash screen and froze. Using adb devices I come up with this;
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb devices
List of devices attached
HT069PS00585 offline
HT069PS00585 device
C:\androidsdk\tools>adb reboot
error: more than one device and emulator
...and the phone is locked onto that first t-mobile screen. I tried adb reboot, adb reboot-bootloader and still get nothing, even tried a hard reboot by pulling the battery to get to recovery mode and re-installed starting from step 1.....really hoping I didn't brick it. Any thoughts on why it happened or how I can go about fixing it?
***UPDATE*** went back and tried a method found in another thread, i.e., wiped data using Android recovery mode instead of Clockwork recovery, then re-installed SlideM. Worked perfectly on the first try
EDIT: Ok, this isn't the I can't boot into WG-Slide thread =P
I want to make it more clear that there is absolutely no point in flashing the Engineering NBH
All it does is downgrade your radio, recovery, boot, and system images
The only image that mattered with the Engineering nbh doesn't get downgraded
I repeat something here... Using the Engineering nbh is NOT what gets you adb in recovery / clockwork / etc
Repeat again.. it is NOT what gets you that
Final Note: Keep in mind downgrading your radio isn't that safe... (anyone end up with one of those bricked G1's and had to get an exchange or even worse do a JTag?!) That could possibly happen if they changed the SPL version to a higher version than the radio compensates for - be careful!
Just wanted to let everyone know that flashing the ENG build is unnecessary and now found to be harmful...
Using the ENG build does NOT replace the SPL - which controls the ability to use fastboot or the ability to flash a recovery.img outside of an nbh file (thus we are unable to get ClockWork recovery to stick after reboot)
[This is the current theory, but using the ENG build then trying to flash any ROM that uses the majority of the /system like WG-Slide will not boot]
Using the ENG build does replace the recovery.img which is still stock recovery (unable to flash test signed update.zip files) but with an older kernel which is causing problems
Normal version of ClockWork recovery contain it's own kernel in the recovery.img - with our rooting situation...
When doing the root process to get into ClockWork recovery it maintains the kernel from the recovery.img already on the phone and just pushes is in the ClockWork binary, images, and scripts
It seems as if the older recovery.img has incorrect knowledge on the partition sizes with the SPL on the stock phones such that the /system partition is a smaller size than it really is
Which is why, you can flash Eugene's with no problem because he keeps the system partition size down in his builds and in the latest uses deodex'ed apps
In WG-Slide, after flashing there is only around ~7mb to spare (which is ok because you never write to the /system after flashing a ROM)
So for anyone wanting to try WG-Slide or ROMs coming out in the future that do use the full system partition size, you will have to revert to the original NBH at: http://bit.ly/wesaspin#280
You can do this:
Flash the production NBH from above
Redo the root process (only to the point where you get into ClockWork recovery (if using Eugene's)) and do a nandroid restore (this will only flash your boot.img, system.img, userdata.img (aka your data)
recovery.img will not be flashed via the nandroid process (because of the locks on the SPL)

Wes, awesome! Thank you for tracking down this issue. It is much appreciated.
After placing the downloaded ESPRIMG onto the root of your sdcard
1.Power Off the Phone either by Power Down / Battery Pull..
2.Hold Volume Down + Power Button..
3.Walk away, get a soda / Give the Better half a Kiss or two
4.Hit the Volume Up key to Confirm to Flash.
Once Done you will have a Stock Espresso Phone again..
OH, delete ESPRIMG after otherwise it will load each time you boot into bootloader....lol...just happen to me....
so those of us that are rooted should go and UN-root and then re-do everything this way?

Well, to flash any ROM you have to go through the process to get to a usable recovery...
so really you are just putting the nbh on there then going back through the recovery process (as you would if you wanted to flash a diff rom from where you are now), and flashing your current data and ROM back to the phone (using nandroid)

Are how to get back to stock Slide status correct? Does that mean it will be unrooted?
I never did the eng-release flash because I have yet to flash more than one ROM. Is there another method to flash the ClockWork recovery that ISN't using the loop exploit?
Thanks for the hassle
**** me. Wes, I re-flashed the Stock image and re-rooted my phone. I then flashed WesBlend 1.0.2 and my phone is stuck in an infinite bootloop that I cannot seem to escape! I can't get into flashboot or recovery. If I pull the battery, it immediately boots up as soon as I put the battery back in. No key commands are working...
This is very bad...
Anyone able to help?
You need time the battery placement with holding the volume down power button. Hold the buttons and then place the battery in while still holding the buttons. That should get you where you need to be.

Alright so if WE DID flash the Eng-Build before, we:
1. Flash production
2. Re-root
3. Flash new ROMs

Man... that sucks! Hmmm..... it looks like you bricked it. Remove the battery and unplug it from any usb or power cord and wait a while. Then put the battery back in....
Make sure your USB is unplugged! If you don't the phone will autoboot and get stuck in the loop.

This worked, thankfully. Meh...
So, at some point I went from having to spoof the update.zip signature to not having to do that to get into clockwork.
What allowed that?
Will the update.zip sig have to be spoofed every time I want to get into Clockwork Recovery if I reverted?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
So the problem appears to be that after rooting and booting into ClockworkMod, I'm getting MD5 checksum errors when trying to nandroid restore. I try rebooting recovery and flashing update.zip and I get a signature verification failed error.
This never happened when I flashed the eng nbh after rooting. I can't get this **** to stick. Any thoughts on what I'm missing?
Jeebus, this is driving me nuts. Not only do I have to do the adb devices loop spam trick to get clockwork to boot up into the custom recovery now, I can't frickin get my Nandroid restore to pass MD5 checksum.
Any insight?
Until this issue is resolved I must firmly recommend that nobody else try this as it doesn't appear to work -- unless I'm missing something very important.
Without flashing the eng build you...
Can't boot into ClockworkMod from the stock recovery without repeating the root process
Can't restore your nandroid backup
Not only that, attempting to flash wesblend 1.0.2 after following these instructions caused the worst bootloop I have yet to experience.

Hello,
I've recently had ny Aria replaced by warranty but I need to send original back with CM7. I was able to load stock unroot ROM via CWR but when plugged in,l it'll show CWR. How can I get rid of it if I can't use PC to flash. Any help or links to help much appreciated.

My original post had a link to the ROM. I misread your message...the ROM isn't the problem. The bad microUSB is a problem. A rather big one, because without the ability to communicate with the PC, you can't wipe out the custom recovery image that includes Clockworkmod.

Take the stock unroot ROM.zip file and copy it to the root of your SD card then rename the file LIBEIMG.ZIP.
Next power off your phone. Press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button. This should boot you into HBOOT which should then find and flash the LIBEIMG.ZIP file and should restore the original HTC recovery.
I will try this thank you!

Help!!!! Stuck in hboot!! Can't get back to restore
Every time I try to hold the volume button down and press the power button, it keeps wanting to reinstall PG05IMG even though I have installed it. It wont load to the bootloader or anything but reboot which is locked at HTC. It IS something I tried to load but I normally can get back to restore my phone back to wherever I want to restore but I'm locked on HTC.
Is there any way to get past the HBOOT?? It just keeps going back to the PG05IMG (2.5)

You'll want to remove your SD Card and throw it in another phone or card reader, then remove the PG05IMG.zip. You should be able to get back into Recovery from there.
Prepare to be flamed either way for not posting this in the proper forum.

Remove SD card and use either card reader or older phone and remove the pg05img file from it. Then you an get into recovery via hboot
take the sd card out, load it on your computer and delete the file..then re-install the sd card and boot into Hboot... it will now let you into recovery
you guys beat me to it lol.

Do you have another smartphone handy? If so throw your SD card in it and delete the PG05IMG file off of it then reinstall to your phone...

You can take sdcard out, boot phone to hboot with battery in and plugged into charger. Once in hboot, remove battery, put in sdcard, put battery in, select recovery. I have used this trick, works, phone stays on without battery with charger pluged in. Probably dont have to replace battery, I did though.
Go with the 6 exact same solutions listed above! Make sure you wear a flame retardent suit though!
I can understand the panic. Probably could have searched it though

This isn't a thread that is going to help you unlock your bootloader. This is what to do next, once you are unlocked. Downloads mentioned in this thread are attached. I really haven't seen a consolidated place to find this info. Hopefully this fixes that. I and nobody else are responsible for any bricks that might occur. (They shouldn't, as we aren't flashing anything "critical" to the system that can't be recovered)
How to install custom recovery.
There are 2 methods that currently work to install recovery. I will only discuss one because it is the easier one for noobs. If you know how to install it via fastboot, go ahead. You probably are above this thread knowledge wise.
Recovery Installation Method: The PH98IMG.zip
This method uses a file called PH98IMG.zip to install the custom recovery. This is the simplest and doesn't require knowledge of fastboot, adb, and doesn't need a computer.
1) Download the PH98IMGICSNEWOTA.zip of the recovery. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip
2) Connect your phone to your PC (if you downloaded the PH98IMG.zip directly from your phone's browser, use a file manager to duplicate these steps)
3) Enable USB Mass Storage (as if you wanted to copy a file to the memory card).
4) Copy the PH98IMG.zip to the root (not in any folders) of the external SD card. NOT the HTC Storage. This is extremely important. It should not be in ANY folders.
5) Disconnect the phone from the computer and shut the phone down.
6) Pull your phone's battery. It should not have the USB cable in it either.
7) Put the battery back in. Press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button. You should get taken to a white screen. This is HBOOT.
8) Some green text should scroll on the screen. At the bottom, it will prompt you if you would like to install the update. Press the button associated with YES. It is most likely volume up, but I cannot remember off the top of my head for sure.
9)When it finishes, it will ask you to press power to reboot. Do this. If you have no signal after booting, it is most likely because you forgot to put the battery door back on, as the antennas are in the door.
10) Delete the PH98IMG.zip from your memory card, or else you will not be able to get into recovery.
11) Custom recovery is installed.
How to access custom recovery.
1) Power down your phone and pull the battery. It should not be connected to a computer.
2) Press and hold volume down and power to get to HBOOT.
3) Use the volume buttons to scroll to recovery, then press the power button.
4) The HTC screen will flash briefly and you will be taken to recovery. You navigate with the power button and the volume buttons.
I highly recommend running a nandroid backup after this. This can be done in either recovery via the backup and restore sections. Google this if you don't know how. I figure most of you have used custom recovery before, so I won't go into it here.
Old Rooting Method(No longer works with ICS):
How to root (Permanently).
This rooting method again doesn't explicitly require a PC and is permanent until you actively remove it.
1) Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.

How to install custom recovery.
There are a couple things to consider here. First, you currently have your choice of 2 recoveries: ClockworkMod (CWM) or AmonRa. These two recoveries are very similar in function. I prefer CWM, but that is just me. We will use AmonRa in the rooting section of this post but you can ignore that for now.The installation for either of these is the same and there are 2 methods that currently work for both of them. I will only discuss one because it is the easier one for noobs. If you know how to install it via fastboot, go ahead. You probably are above this thread knowledge wise.

1) Download the PH98IMG.zip of the recovery of your choice. I have them named with the type of recovery in front of it so you know which one to download. For example, CWMPH98IMG.zip is the PH98IMG.zip of CWM recovery. Just rename it to PH98IMG.zip
2) Connect your phone to your PC (if you downloaded the PH98IMG.zip directly from your phone's browser, use a file manager to duplicate these steps)

I have HTC STORAGE (L and Removable Disk (M. I put the PH98IMG.zip in M which I'm assuming is my SDcard. I dont know what I did wrong.

boot.img should work too. I think the zips don't work due to a difference in the android-info.txt. If bal1985 can install CWM then that is the issue. People have been able to install ziggy's kernel via the boot image I packed with a PH zip
Looks like we were having roughly the same thought at about the same time because your post didn't exist when I started mine
At least nobody should have problems getting up and running now between both our guides.

In my post right above yours I attached a new one. Try flashing that over CWM. It should work.

i just followed steps 1-11 and it worked, said something about "fat erased" lol and it asked me to restart. should i be able to get into recovery now and root? just continue your steps?
