Could you be a bit more descriptive with relation to what you see on the screen?

Could you explain how did you root, which software?
It's much better if you want help.

Clockworkmod 3.0.2.6?

Has anyone tried it out? Since I don't have eng s off, I have a black screen in clockwork 3.0.0.6. I flashed the newest 3.0.2.6 and it shows up. So has anyone tried flashing a rom with it?

You don't have to have ENG S-Off to use Clock Work Mod.. Just need Radio S-Off.
there be a difference in the two.
Yup works fine... flashed Cog HD sense and non sense with it , RCmix GB
and Phoneix with no issues.. i can't downgrade it to 2.*.*.* for some reason couldn't even do anything lower than the newest one.

i know that. but with bubbys one click, it leaves you with a blank screen.
Apparently not universally -- I used the One Click an had zero issues.
Also, on topic, I've flashed the latest CWM and flashed a couple zips through it no trouble. No ROMS or anything major yet though.

Unless this issue shows up actually flashing a different Rom other than the stock Bubbys tool leaves you with (which I haven't done yet), I'm able to reboot into recovery/back-up current Rom, on 3.0.0.6.

if this does work, then great, but, you could try to package the parcel a little better, how about adding an explanation detailing exacting what this update should do and under what conditions (from what ROM and hboot versions it's safe to run) along with where you actually got it from or did you create it on your own?

Ok I understand. In the Thread "sense 3 ota update" or something like that in htc desire s general forum. on page 15 comment 145. Some guy posted the link so i took that and some people tested it out and said it was Safe, as you can see in one of my other threads about this update! So i just decided to make a guide of what to do and see if it helps, it will probably get rid of your root, but that is why i said only people with unrooted devices and s-on. It is Android 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0. The guy got it from HTC.COM 9(SOMEWERE) FOR EUROPE! Is that all???

It'll not work on non-euro roms. Hence not working on Asian once. Because of CID checks and also you will not be able to force update if the rom is not asking (downloading) on the right HTC server.
Anyone done this successfully yet??

Ok. What you have to do is that when it shows the exclamation mark in the triangle you hold the volume up rocker down and press the power button. Though mine is not updating still, it goes to where to you see "install updates".

[Q] Rooting Mytouch 4G Slide?

Okay, can someone kinda fill me in on developmental status for rooting the Mytouch 4g Slide. I would like to root mine. I did some researching for a little while and is kinda lost. I haven't rooted a phone for a couple years now.
Developmental status? Like what roms do we have? Or, how do u root?

Depends on a few things, like when you bought the phone.

Actually both. Where do I begin?
The unlockr has the revolutionary method on there. That's how most of us did it. Make sure all the links work before u use it.
Once u follow through with that, use rom manager to update to the latest clockwork mod.
Once u get rooted make a backup of ur stock rooted rom and start flashing whatever u want
Use undeadk9's rubix ics 5.2 from page 180 with the messaging fix zip in the op page 1
Follow the directions I posted on page 148
=) that's the best, fastest, and most stable rom atm. But there's a few real ics roms out there if u wanna play around with them.
Sent from my RubiX ICS Infused using Tapatalk
If your HBOOT version is 1.45.0013 (get into HBOOT by turning off fast boot in settings, turning off your phone, and then holding volume down and power), you won't be able to get perma-root until HTC fixes their bootunlocker or until someone else devises a method to get S-OFF.

We have discovered that if your machine is S-OFF you can flash any version hboot you want. I swap back and forth between all 4 consistently.

Shawn411:
They got you covered, just run revolutionary and S-OFF the device, then you can do anything you want after that.
You will start with CWM 4.0.0.8 if you choose to install during the Rev process, if not then you will be S-OFF with stock recovery.
Blue6IX said:
Replacing Stock Recovery: Clockworkmod
If you have S-OFF but stock recovery, the easiest method is to:
1 - Follow the instructions in This Thread to get temp root.
2 - Without rebooting, add your market account to the device.
3 - Install ROM Manager from the market.
4 - Flash Clockworkmod through ROM Manager.
5 - What you do next is up to you (but a clockworkmod backup isn't a bad idea.)

...which is what others have mentioned above.
Any questions just ask, plenty of us floating around willing to help.
Okay, I used Revolutionary to S-OFF my device. It gave me the option to install clockworkmod recovery. I typed in yes but my recovery still looks the same as stock. All it says at the top is Revolutionary~ and all the other information.
...that is your hboot menu.
Hit volume down to select recovery in the list, then press power to accept - now you will see your recovery.

This still means that those of us with S-ON and the newer HBOOT are still stuck then?
Yeah, I just realized that. I found the recovery. Thanks. I believe I am rooted now as I see the Super permissions app in my app drawer.

You should make sure u are on the official recovery, not 4.0.0.9 or 4.0.0.8, u need 5.0.2.7 I believe

I have noticed that this thread looks to be the lastest work on rooting a MyTouch 4G Slide. I have the HBOOT 1.45.0013 and I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to get either the HBOOT downgraded or Revolutionary to work with it. Any help with links to this fix will be appreciated.

Did you flash anything or mod the phone in any way? If all you did was accept an official update leading to this boot loop I would call HTC or your carrier and have them fix it!

OP said they had the phone S-OFF but still running stock ROM - wouldn't the S-OFF be an issue for warranty?
Maybe the OTA update couldn't or didn't properly update the radio/bootloader/recovery segment - that would cause an ICS ROM to fail boot. I think trying to reflash the old stock ROM, or a GB-based custom one, is the first thing to try. Failing that, maybe manually flash the appropriate ICS firmware/radio package for the OTA ROM (see this thread)

Did these flash OK (even though you are unable to boot them)? Recovery would have notified you of the result.
If so as above post, update firmware with the firmware needed for the last from you successfully flashed. Post if you get stuck.

Im maybe experiencing the same problem. Here's what happened. I was using internet-pass-through with my Sensation XE for me download games and saw in my notifications that there's an available system update which is the android 4.0, etc. I downloaded the file and installed it but right after i got stucked with picture of an android and beside it is a exclamation point in a triangle. I removed the batt and turned on the phone and nothing happened, nothing new. So, I searched in youtube and saw a way of updating ICS in my phone. My phone had S-off but still using Stock rom. I entered the bootloader then CWM then formatted the system, cache, then tried to update to ICS since i got the zip file already in my SDcard. After then, the installation was aborted, it says cannot fine system/build.prop or something. I rebooted my fone and I got stucked up with the HTC logo and white screen. Omg please help me. I'm crying. I just bought the fone. :'(
