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!"
ummmm fermunky, why not watch video at 0:15 through 0:25?

Touche my friend, I didn't even watch the video, since I am not rooted yet anyways , but you know some people will still attempt to follow your directions and not watch the video Not everyone has good intuition
lol its cool man... if you're anywhere close to gulfport ms or are willing to drive here, i'll root your slide and eng build and legend it for free...

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
Ok so here's the thing I obviously have a Motorola Atrix 4g and I am from the United States. I have rooted my device via Pete's Motorola root tools, I have accessed my webtop hack and tether. I've been research for about a week straight on how to install CM7, but the CM7 that I really want is EVOGP's whch has facial recognition capabilities (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382934&highlight=facial+recognition). I am currently running stock Gingerbread. I have previously tried t0dbld's way of installing for the latest version of CM7 (Ba2TF) based on his installation instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574&highlight=facial+recognition). Unfortunately I failed and ended up wiping all my contacts and starting brand new. The portion that I do not see is the second step :
1.)Reboot phone into CWM recovery (Power Button + Vol Down), press Vol Down until you see "Android Recovery" then press Vol Up to enter.
2.) Go to Backup & Restore and create a backup (this may take some time)
I dont see where to go for Backup and restore to create a back. It too me a while to figure out that had to press the both volume buttons just to toggle. But this was the first area, that was blurry. If someone could explain step by step how to get to "Backup &Restore and create a backup" would be great.
Next while apparently not backing up my rom, I decided since I already had a rom and I wanted CM7 that wouldnt be important. So I try to install the Ba2tf.zip via the bootloader screen which located on my sd card. So I go "apply blah blah to Sd card" I see the Ba2tf.zip and I press the power button to unzip the file or install. The process I see starts unloading the zip file then starts to installing the file, everything is great. Then it says "installation failed".
If someone can tell me what I did wrong and give me a step by step process of what I should and be seeing, I would greatly appreciate this help. As you cant tell I really want CM7 especially EVOGP's. Please help!!! Step by step please!!!!
Have you unlocked your phone using fruitcake? Which CWM are you running?
It's Pudding, not fruitcake.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261
Fruitcakes are stock system files that can flashed through CWM.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then unlock it. Search for pudding in the Dev Forum.
After that, you need the right recovery (CWM)
Which recovery are you using? You should flash romracer's latest CWM. Most of all the ROMs are using the latest Romracer's recovery so you won't go wrong with using that.
Then from there --- you should be good to go.......
I had no idea you had to unlock, I thought unlocking and rooting was the same thing. And I a bit new with lingo does CWM refer to Clockwork Mod? If so I downloaded the standard free Rom Manager on the market. I assume judging by your message I should probably unlock my phone using fruitcake? If I do can you post simplified link on how to install fruit cake?
Follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
The instructions provide links for Pudding and romracer's recovery, which are both needed to flash any custom Rom.
Here's the link for CM7:

I have installed rsdlite. Where can I find the drivers that I'm supposed to install? Or does it come bundled already?
Here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Also, after you install the drivers it helps to plug it in and then go through all the USB options in the drop down and allow each one to install as well. (eg. Windows Sync, USB Mass Storage, Portal)

Yeah i remember downloading this a while back.... I'm currently at Proper Recovery 5B and my command prompt says <waiting for device> and it wont allow me to type 5C.... Do I choose either A,B or C then pick D? And I'm currently on my bootload screen and it says Unlocked in the top left corner
Does anybody know anything of this nature?
Someone help I'm getting worried now
Now my phone shut off and the charging light is on....
I typed in 5c and it says it's not found... i tried 5d and that didnt work <waiting for devices> .... my phone was unresponsive even to the power button so i pulled the battery and turned it on it brought me back to the bootload screen that said unlock in the top left. my phone is now charging on the normal house charger and i turned it back on it's responsive I dont have any of my cards in so it's showing motoblur
Does this mean my phones unlocked and I should just go ahead and install the CM7?

It says mobile signal or something like that. Did I do something wrong can any one assist me on this matter? I followed the steps on the form as well as several videos showing me how to do this. another question do i need to root first or unlock first? I've done this process over and over again but cannot get my cell phone to make calls or get data, There is like a hazard sign where the data shows.. please help me!

You should ask in the ROMs thread.
When you unlock, you also gain root.

So if I follow the unlock guide. via ODIN and casual I gain root? I'm a newbie to this lol former Iphone user all of this is new to me. I've tried several roms and still have the same issue. Also followed the guides as well. It's very fustrating because I get no where regarding this matter. Even watching the video's and following the steps have led me to be unsucessful..

1. Flash revision3 via odin following the guide in its thread. (This will give you root)
2.Follow the bootloader unlock process in adam's guide from its thread (this will unlock your bootloader and unless hes changed it flash twrp a custom rocovery.)
Now you need to reboot into recovery and make a back up. To do this you need to go into recovery (twrp or clockwork mod). You can get to recovery by powering off the phone and holding volume-up+home+power. Now go to backup and restore back up. If you have an external sd I would recommend selecting the option to backup to it.
After that select a rom you want. If you want stock rooted you dont have to flash anything. Look in your app drawer if you see an app called supersu or super user you're rooted. If you want another rom follow these steps to flash it.
1. Read rom thread for known bugs so you know what youre getting into.
2. Download rom. DO NOT UNZIP.
3. Check md5 sum.
4. Move to external or internal sd where you can find it.
5. Boot into recovery.
6. Select install.
7 navigate to rom file.
8. Swipe to install. If it has aroma follow instructions if not wait for it to do its thing

To do this wouldve meant you flashed a rom not meant for verizion and got another carriers radios. Also did you check in your settings to make sure you didnt switch data off airplane mode or switch off cdma/lte. Is your phone getting service now that you're back to stock?

Complete Noob Guide To Access Root on Android 4.4.2 (NC5)Helpful Guide by Reconde
This guide will thoroughly explain how to obtain root on Android 4.4.2 (NC5)
There is ONLY ONE FILE needed for the entire process, download it here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23501681358538076File provided by: @gigilie
Proceed after downloading and extracting the file above.
1. Navigate to /ODINv3.10 > Odin3 v3.10.0 and run it. In Odin, click on the AP slot and navigate to MK2_system_4downgrade_rooting_all_in_one and open it. Before going to the next step, you must put /safestrap flashable files-modules-quickupgrades-supersu onto your SD card, this is important. You will also need to download gogolies-wififix-VZW-retail-NC5-w-modules-SS.zip, and put it into the folder you just put onto your SD card.
2. Now, turn your Galaxy S4 completely off and boot it into Download Mode by turning it on and holding the volume up button at the same time. Once your phone is booted into Download Mode, plug it into your computer and press "Start" in Odin.
3. After the downgrade file has been flashed to your device, let it boot, set it up, and then go to Settings and enable Developer Options (this can be done by going to "About device" in settings, and clicking on "Build Number" several times until the phone says "Developer mode has been turned on"). Open developer options and enable USB debugging.
4. Back on your computer, navigate to the folder /apps-for-android-down-and-upgrades > /saferoot and run install.bat
5. After following instructions given by the command prompt, your phone should now be rooted. Now, transfer Safestrap-JFLTE-3.72-kk-B01 (found in /apps-for-android-down-and-upgrades) to your phone and install it. ***IF PLANNING ON INSTALLING A CUSTOM ROM IT MUST BE ON YOUR EXTERNAL SD CARD BEFORE THIS STEP. IF PLANNING ON KEEPING ROOTED STOCK ROM, VZW_NC5_PREROOTED-gogolie.zip(stock ROM- KNOX FREE) must be on SD card*** In safestrap, click install recovery, and when that is finished click Reboot to recovery.
6. In safestrap, go to Wipe > Advanced and wipe only dalvik and cache. After this, go to Install and install the custom, or stock, ROM of your choice (must be a 4.4.2 ROM) **IMPORTANT: ROM MUST BE INSTALLED ON STOCK SLOT** After installing the ROM you must flash jfltevzw-NC5-modules (found under /safestrap flashable files-modules-quickupgrades-supersu) and add to the queue gogolies-wififix-VZW-retail-NC5-w-modules-SS.zip AND UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94. Now flash and wipe dalvik and cache again.
7. After installing your ROM correctly, reboot the phone into Download mode in safestrap by going to Reboot > Download. Now open Odin and insert NC5_4.42-ODIN_UPGRADE-FOR-4.3-NO-SYSTEM-NO-BOOTLOADERS-gogolie (found under /odin flashable files-modemhlos-bootimgs) into the AP slot and press start.
8. Reboot your phone into safestrap after Odin has finished. You must wipe dalvik and cache one last time and then flash jfltevzw-NC5-modules again and you are done! Your phone should now be rooted on NC5.
If you have any issues after completing the process, feel free to reply to this thread or send me a PM!
Special thanks to @gigilie for putting the files and other guide together. His thread can be found here.
Make sure to thank this post if this process worked!
Just what we needed for gigilie's method. He does some great stuff but he doesn't write very clearly lol.

Okay! First of all I would like to thank you for condensing this and making it bit more understandable. I'm usually really nervous about messing around with rooting (even though it's my second time), so simplified things like this really take the stress off.
the one question I had, is...
In step 7 you say to put "...open Odin and insert NC5_4.42-ODIN_UPGRADE-FOR-4.3-NO-SYSTEM-NO-BOOTLOADERS-gogolie."
Which slot in odin do I place it in? AP like before?

Wonderful! Thanks so much for the quick response and help with understanding all of this! I'll let you know how my root and custom ROM installation attempts go.
Update: I pulled it off and got my first custom ROM running as well! Might want to consider mentioning how to install the minor parts in step 6, after custom roms (like having to press the three dots and whatnot). that was the only place I had gotten tripped up. All in all, very effective tut. Thank you kindly.

Did you use this with installing hyperdrive? Since that ROM uses an aroma installer you have to click the three dots and click exit or it will automatically reboot. You don't have to do that with roms that don't use the aroma installer.

Oh! Yes I did. Sorry, I didn't know that hyperdrive installed differently than other roms. Good to know, though, and hopefully people who have similar problems can scroll down and find this, as it's probably not worth being in the OP, haha.
In @gigili orginal post, it says if you're on stock rooted 4.3 MK2 to start with step 3. I'm on stock, rooted 4.3 MK2 (I never take OTA update until I know I can root), so on your method do I start from the beginning, start from step 2, or from the middle of step 1 "Before going to the next step, you must put /safestrap flashable files-modules-quickupgrades-supersu onto your SD card, this is important. You will also need to download gogolies-wififix-VZW-retail-NC5-w-modules-SS.zip, and put it into the folder you just put onto your SD card."
Thanks for making it more clear.
where do I find /safestrap flashable files-modules-quickupgrades-supersu?
Edit: nm i figured it out I had a corrupt download and it did not have those files...redownloaded and now im good!

From what I can tell the OP is wrong about this step. You don't have a 4.4.2 system on your phone. If you want stock rooted flash this: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491962465

Yes, you will need to flash the stock ROM if not installing a custom ROM. I do not recommend using this file, though, go back to the first post and I have updated the link in step 5. At this point though you will need to run through the entire process again. I apologize for any inconvenience.

You will want to do the part in the middle of step 1, and then you can skip to step 3 and go from there.
I followed the original instructions to the end (which said to skip the rom flashing steps for stock ROM). I grabbed I545VRUFNC5-Stock-Root-Odex.zip and can't seem to get the flash to work. Is there a certain step I should go back to?
Does this procedure trip the Samsung Knox flag?
After step 7 got this error on reboot:
E:Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip (Status 7)
I'm not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

From what I can tell the OP is wrong about this step. You don't have a 4.4.2 system on your phone. If you want stock rooted flash this: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23487008491962465

only problem with the above file josh is that KNOX is all over it still. yucky...
gogolie's NC5 Rooted/ KNOX FREE:
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407590564 is my version with no KNOX was released a little earlier than that other ROM and I didnt publicly put it out there as much as I maybe should have. with all 4.4.2 ROM's you need to flash SuperSu 1.94.zip file after installing ROM or you will probably lose root or not have binaries installed... so be sure and always flash that file after installing a ROM in Safestrap!
also I gave Reconde the okay to start this thread, its endorsed by me and I thank him for giving props and not just copying my stuff Thanks buddy. Sorry about not being the best with words... figuring out how things work is more my specialty. Users feel free to ask any questions in the main thread I will answer or respond still as soon as I'm able you can also keep up with current development for the 4.4.2 as well as ROM's and testing ROM's there in that thread. Thanks guys!

try the files i listed just before this post. they will be your answer. and sometimes you will get that no os error depending on what ROM and system your using its totally normal for instance my mk2 AOSP roms say that everytime yet they boot absolutely fine its just an error from Safestrap sometimes not reading the system folder correctly but has no outcome on the booting of the ROM. Ignore that error as long as you think you properly installed it.
Quick fast post. Fix it up later.

THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN @ShinySide!!! Not only for root, but now for a working custom recovery. Truly the 2 most important tools we could have for our phone.
FOR EVERYONE ELSE:
As usual, be sure to give @ShinySide your Thanks/Donations/etc.!!! He deserves it! Also, now that you have TWRP you might be wondering what to do next. Here are a couple of suggestions of things that I've already done and that I am quite happy with.
1) Theme it! - Here are some themes you can try out that will not only make TWRP more beautiful, but also provide a layout that is more intuitive and user friendly. These are listed in a Galaxy S2 thread yes, but I've attached a picture of the one that I'm currently running and I'm happy to say that it works on our phone like a charm. I've also used these themes on other phones in the past. Just follow the instructions in the OP of that thread and give the guy some thanks on that thread if you like them. There is no risk in this btw. Either it works or it doesn't and to get rid of it if you don't like it you just have to delete the theme folder that you placed in TWRP. (Try to use the files that say "480x800" as that's the resolution of our screen.) Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2-plus/themes-apps/theme-materialised-t2933979
2) Add the Xposed Framework - Go to this link here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62377731
Then, install the Xposed app from the link on that thread. After that, you're going to want to pick the file attached to the OP of that thread that is called "xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip" and save it to the root of your external SD card. (Do not download the one that says "ARM64" in it. Just the one I mentioned.) Then, just flash it via TWRP and reboot. You should now have the Xposed Framework installed. Once, again be sure to give the OP thanks on that thread too!
NOTE: After flashing Xposed it may hang on the MetroPCS screen on the next reboot for up to 15-20 mins or so while it's doing stuff. If it's any longer than that, then just pop the battery out and reboot. It will boot properly after that while it reoptimizes some apps.
OK something not right everytime I flash the twrp I keep getting the 2.8.70 instead of the version of This 2.8.1.0 one I need help cause everything is correct I keep getting that old version instead of this new version but twrp 2.8.7.0 still works good but I want the version right here

2.8.7.0 is right. The picture I attached of my themed one I just downloaded from the theme thread because I couldn't take a screenshot from TWRP. Everything is good. No need to worry.
Thanks....glad to know that but everytime I reboot to system from twrp it keep going right back to the twrp instead of system that's what I worry about I have to keep flashing the kernel root cause the twrp not working right but ima get the theme to see what happens next

It shouldn't be doing that. Also, you should just make sure your TWRP is properly installed first before you do anything else to it. Maybe try rebooting your phone just by holding the power button once instead of selecting reboot system and see if it boots correctly then.

I don't think it's right now I have the same picture frame u have in the picture but still not 2.8.1.0 at the top it have the 2.8.7.0 up there at the top of it and another thing is I can't flash anything everything else good but can't swipe to install so I need to get this right cause I don't be having problems with nothing else when I do stuff for my device

Again, it is supposed to be 2.8.7.0 . Don't go by the picture I posted it was just a sample of what I had. Not a screenshot. Also, it doesn't need to look like mine to work. Theming it was just for fun and should only be done after you've successfully installed TWRP. Anyhow, try flashing this stock recovery file here. Then, boot into stock recovery and make sure you can still reboot to Android from there. If so, then go back and try flashing the TWRP recovery file again instead and see if that fixes the problem. No one else should flash this file by the way unless they are trying to go back to stock recovery for whatever reason. Thanks!

Good job
Awesome! Goood job dude, can't wait till you write up the proper instructions. I'm a noob so don't want to do something wrong.

So, should this NOT work and it continues to reboot to TWRP what comes next? ? Ok, you got me. It continues to reboot into TWRP. I've never encountered this scenario before (granted I've never flashed a custom recovery via ODIN before either, but it went as expected up until I did a backup and tried to reboot into the system) and no, I didn't bother with trying to fancy up TWRP. I don't want TWRP looking unfamiliar. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try flashing through ODIN again. Make sure you are in actual download mode (meaning don't use the option in TWRP, use the key combo), and flash it again.
Maybe we could get another youtube video? What do you say, "TheDerek"?

Ok, that's next on the agenda. Gonna take a walk and get myself calmed down before I resume troubleshooting. Thanks for the helpful and speedy response. And the bit about booting into Download Mode using the button combo over the TWRP option - I actually had no idea there was a difference there. I've gathered several boot/recovery zips and tars just in case and am tracking down the T-Mobile version of the g360t1 firmware as well (to cover all my bases, because when it rains it pours ?). Anyhow, I'll report back once I have something to report and thanks again guys ?

It has to be something you guys are doing during the flashing process that is causing it to boot into TWRP instead of Android. I would try flashing the Trapkernel again from download mode to see if that gives you boot, then if so, try flashing TWRP again. Both should be flashed in AP slot of ODIN. Make sure OEM Unlocking is checked in developer options, etc.
If that doesn't work and it still boots to TWRP, then you may have messed something up in there somehow. Try flashing back stock boot and stock recovery and make sure boot and stock recovery were restored. Once that's working, then you can try reflashing Trapkernel and TWRP. Use this link for more info on restoring your phone and for links to the stock files if you need them.

Try reinjecting TWRP using the option in settings.
