Anybody without a corp account try flashing this yet?
i flashed it today and I do NOT have the CorpEmail account. I really hope this doesn't stop me from getting root.

i have, no differences at all. battery life will tell in a day or two
So are we safe letting update go thru? Or should we hold off if we want root?
I wouldn't flash it yet. It contains a recovery image and I don't know if anyone knows for certain what's different about the image.
Would this have the correct test keys?
I flashed. Not noticing anything unexpected. Im getting my incredible replaced anyway. Sounds like I'm listening to people talk underwater.
I doubt you'd notice anything different; I'm just afraid that they've closed a useful hole.
Now if this thing would just stop asking me every 20-30 minutes ... grrrr.
The update fixes the email client for business users.
The meat of the update they don't tell you about, however, is there is a new recovery image in the updater. So yeah, maybe a hole was closed.
I held down volume down button and hit power, booted into the prompt, selected "recovery mode," and all I got was a red triangle and exclamation point.
I downloaded the zip, renamed it update.zip, and put it on /sdcard using Astro.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have the exact same problem.
dont do it
Just checking to see if people successfully installed this OTA update from the mirror site link provided earlier in this thread. I think it's my only chance to go to FroYo without using RUU/wiping the phone.
I figure I can update from 1.22.605.0 with this update and then go to the FroYo thread and run that update. Does that sound like it will work?
This whole subject was coverd in another thread.

read the other thread, you need to update to 1.22.605.2 first, easy and does not lose date.
Root and OTA
I have rooted with unrevoked 3.1 but still have stock 2.1. Do I need to unroot to install the OTA or will the OTA still be pushed to my phone while I am still rooted?
Hey guys, I recently unrooted my phone, which means I'm stuck on 1.5 for now. I went to check for updates, and the 1.6 update is there. However, every time I click download, it says downloading for just a second, then stops.
I've tried rebooting, using wifi, using 3G, and clicking download like crazy. I also tried finding the manual 1.6 update, but I couldn't. Any help?
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the manual update for 1.6. If anybody else needs it, go here.

This happened to me too at first.
Did you use a backup program to restore all your settings while still on 1.5? Data from 1.6 is in there and it prevents the update from taking. Do a factory data reset again and this time wait a day before using a backup program to restore any data. The update will come through in about a day.
During this time you can still download whatever you want from the market and it shouldn't affect anything.
thanks for the link. which file do i DL to get 1.6 on my original mytouch 3g
just used sappimg.nbh to get back to 1.5 in expectation of 2.2 dropping tomorrow
Here:
I found a mirror with 1.6 for the MT3G:
http : // and then type www . mediafire. com/?t3zlwdzzqqx
Sorry for the formatting... I'm not allowed to post links.
Don't forget to do the second 1.6 update (DRC92 -> DMD64)
You can find the file at the same link the OP gave.
steps to updating

This worked perfect for me, thanks for the post!
One question though, this considered a MANUAL update, right? Not an OTA update. Just asking because I'm trying to figure out if I can use the SPL Official method for updating to 2.2, posted in thread 807899.
Wondering if its safe to delete the second update.zip from my sd card? I went to delete it says "Delete failed- system restriction" and will this prevent me from receiving my 2.2 OTA update?
No it shouldn't matter, and there is a manual froyo update as well

Impatience is a virtue.
I had been running CM5 before I found out about the OTA. Decided to downgrade to 1.5 and wait for the update. Realized (thanks to you helpful cats) that I'd probably need 1.6 in order for the update to go well, but, since Froyo was already available via manual update...
Worked like a charm. DL'd the DRC92 and DMD64 and installed accordingly, then installed all 3 of the OP's files in order and it works like a charm. So far 2.2.1 is a snappy little update and I love the look. Not totally thrilled about the T-Mo branded stuff but it's not intrusive, either.
And now, to root...
Before I begin, I'd like to say that I know we have posted this everywhere.
The reason of this thread is because there are no real clear instructions on how to un-root, and there is no actual thread, hence the reason we get this question asked so much; something I want to eliminate.
How to UNROOT your Mytouch 3G Slide
[Optional] If you are sending back your phone to Tmobile for replacement, make sure you flash the newest radio out as of now. (this at the moment is 7.09) [/Optional]
1) You will need to download "ESPRIMG(2).zip" from this thread (This is all you need, you dont need anything else)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=713507
2) Rename "ESPRIMG(2).zip" to: ESPRIMG.zip
3) Place the new renamed file ESPRIMG.zip in the root of you SD card (this means in no folder)
4) Power off your phone any way you like
5) Turn your phone on while HOLDING: VOLUME DOWN and POWER.
This will get you to a screen where you will need to wait for some loading. Let it load.
6) Once above step has finished, phone will give you some options. Hit VOLUME UP to confirm flash
7) It will take some time, and when it's done, you will be unrooted with the stock Espresso.
Credits go to: eugene373, xda-fourms, CaliBoyPhillip, and some guy I cant remember
reserved for future way to unroot
I posted the ESRIMG.zip in the q&a section a few days ago, nice catch on the radio. I totally forgot about that for warranty reasons. This thread should hit the New Bible!

I am looking for some help before I unroot. I fastboot flashed clockworkmod recovery version 2.5 and now when I enter Boolaoder and select recovery I am stuck at the splash. What should I do to get the factory recovery back or how can I get cw recovery to stick permanently??? Not to much of a noob either just a simple mistake..=)

ask that in the Question and Answer forum of mytouch 3g slide.. im not too sure of what you're saying, and you'll get more answers there.
Hey Xologist,
Thanks for this post but I have a few things you might want to add on.
Your link to eugene373's ESPRIMG(2).zip works fine, but wouldn't auto update after a week. So instead of waiting to be updated I re-rooted and then un-rooted to 1.27.531.1 using the ESPRIMG that wegarner provided. After that I was able to do the manual OTA update without root.
wesgarner (1.27.531.1)
http://db.androidspin.com/androidspin_filedownload.asp?release=280&type=1
So after someone unroots they can just manually update(root not needed) to the current OTA via ChiefzReloaded's provided files.
-7.09.35.10 radio -1.35.531.1 build

Same file with a mirror.However, the google one ended up working for me.
I am assuming this will result in a factory wipe/reset as well, correct? I'm considering switching back to stock from Cyanogen 6.1.1 since it's unable to send or receive MMS messages for me but I'm afraid I may lose the pending messages if I revert back and won't be able to recover or view them.

Yeah it'll be a factory reset but you should still the messages as long as the phone hasn't actually grabbed them from the companies server. As for the actual issue, have you verified APN settings? I was having issues with MMS and data when I first flashed CM 7 and ended up switching to T-Mobiles alternate server to fix.

Thank you for confirming that this would wipe the device. I was also not aware that the MMS messages would still be retrievable if they have not yet been downloaded to the device (good to know!).
I see you have found my post on these forums in regards to my issue, so I will not get into the specifics in this topic, but yes, I have confirmed the APN settings several times now.
I've tried this, but I keep getting this error... "Main Version is older"
I need to unroot because I need to send my phone in for warranty service... my power button stopped working... makes it realy difficult to get into recovery mode or anything (impossible) but I can get into the boot loader
What can I do to remedy this?
Heck, if you could tell me how to corrupt the system folders I would do that so they couldn't tell it was rooted at all...
I've tried doing it this way and I extracted the file to the root of my SD card. But when I followed the steps, all it did was take me through like I was doing a reset of my phone. Didn't remove the actual ROM. Am I not supposed to extract it? What can I do to remove this ROM because I really don't like it on my phone.
you do not extract the zip file. you just put the ESPRIMG.zip file into your root folder. when you boot into recovery mode, the phone should automatically start searching for it (you might want to give it a little time to let everything load up). it will load (this will take a while) then press volume up to update when prompted. thanks to the OP for putting this up. you saved my butt, i have to return my phone for warranty replacement because the touchscreen and all the buttons stopped working.
Hey xologist, I'm sorry but I'm still very new to rooting. I've had some issues with the touchscreen and need to send my phone in for the warranty so I need to unroot it. What do you mean by flashing the newest radio? Where do I get it and how do I flash it?

you probably placed a different sim card in your phone because this phone is normally locked to T-Mobile. if you're on T-Mobile and want to use a different sim card, give them a call and they will get you an unlock code for free. if you thought you bought the phone unlocked (not locked to a carrier, T-Mobile), then it's not, return it to the seller or something.
I tried the esprimg.zip on the root of the sd card but every time it tries to apply it it says it is the wrong image and aborts. Any ideas?
no matter what i do i cant get it to install anything, i install and apply the esprimg.zip file, re boot, and still loads CM i may have forgot how to do all this fancey root stuff, i have Cm 7.1, can i pleeeease get a dummy version to unroot
Hi all, in a pickle here. I will be attempting to remove root and am on CM 7.1 stable. My obstacle is my volume buttons don't work. I'm removing root for warranty/return reasons, is there any way to go back to stock other than from the bootloader(sp?)? Thanks, all!
(2/12/12)So I ended up flashing CR's 2.2 rooted rom so that I could upgrade through HTC Sync to the 2.2 stock update. Thanks anyway
Hi there,
Using an unlocked Play from Rogers (Fido sim), read a few posts that update was to come July 1st in Canada... I'm not seeing one. Can someone confirm updating this way? I'm pretty sure I could update thru Pc companion but I've rooted the phone and would like to keep it this way, again read somewhere that only using OTA update would allow to keep root, is that right?
Thanks in advance

Why wait for the rogers update? When you know the next update is gonna be slow. Just flash the UK(works on your play) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116090 and you will always get the updates first and root as well
I'm on rogers and I still don't have the update yet. I tried doing the check for update. Still nothing.
If you install the software on your desktop and check for an update you will find it. Every time I plug my phone in it says there is an update but I don't want to update it yet.
The software I am talking about is the one where when you plug in the phone on the phones screen it says would you like to install software to the computer blah blah blah.
I was the one that emailed Sony E and they said July first. I think Rogers messed it up and we can only update through the PC. I’m going to use the UK if I can get it to work. They say it’s 3 steps but each of those steps are many steps. For instance it says “Add ftf firmwares files in the firmwares folder” I have no idea where the Firmwares folder is and it doesn’t say. I will do some research and do it. I have all my stuff on the SD at the moment and it said it will format. Does this mean I have to start over? Will it remove my contacts? LOL my contacts took me a long time to setup.
Flashing it to generic uk firmware is a really easy. Just backup your own contacts to gmail... I didn't know how to do it but all my contacts are on my sim card anyways.

Download the latest flashtools and unzip the flashtools to your desktop, in the folder you unziped it to there is the firmware folder. Just put the files from the ".184 UK firmware".zip into the firmware folder and then open flash tools and flash. When i did it, it didnt wipe my sd card just my phone apps e.t.c but it took 5 mins to reinstall them/re-setup after using ota to update to 2.3.3 and keep root
or see here for a quick guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879528&postcount=3
I will back them up but Gmail puts everyone that emailed me in the list and it sucks. I email people to buy stuff but wouldn't want them in my contacts.
Thanks
I will give it a try tonight. I'm tired of waiting for Rogers.
You can grab all the rogers app off the market afterwards? The only one I kept was the my account one. You'll notice that the bootup becomes crazy fast, compared to the rogers stock.
Sent from my XPlay using XDA App.
yes you can. Search for Rogers and they all come up. My account is the first one.
I posted this in the other 2.3.3 thread. thought it was relevent here.
i hate reposted normally . but yeah ..
Just updated to 2.3.3 here in Alberta... did it through the PC companion.. took not to long. the initial boot after update seemed to take forever.. roughly 8 minutes.
After everything booted up, i restarted the phone again .. and already noticed the boot time was alot faster.. faster than 2.3.2 for sure..
I was getting the same thing where the OTA update said the phone version was current .. but the PC companion found a new version and the install was easy as pie.
Dont notice anything else differant really. other than the boot time... hopefully ill notice the battery life increase everyones talking about..
** and maybe its just me . but my predictive text in messaging seems slightly diffearnt ? i dont know how . it just does.. maybe its just me.

Bought a Rogers phone, using it on Fido as well. Updated through PC Companion with no issues.
Sorry, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to update my girl's phone. On other sense devices (including my evo), I just go into the settings, and there is a System Update option. But apparently not on the mytouch? I was trying to update her to gingerbread since I saw it was released... Does she just have to wait until the OTA pops up on her phone?
I think I also read that if you take in your phone to the t-mo store, they'll do it for you there? thanks in advance

you can see if your local store has the sdcard or wait for the OTA or download this file http://www.megaupload.com/?d=N8XGHXJC put it on the sdcard make sure fastboot is off go to settings/applications make sure it is unchecked then power down then press and hold power and volume down at the same time you should be in hboot it will scan that file then ask you to update.
