SO.
I just rooted using the Unrevoked 3.2 and #009 update.zip (thanks attn1!).
I have a couple questions:
1.when got to manage apps-
Why do I still have these left over files which look like what was removed during the root and how do I get rid of them ie. com.ulocate?
2.Updating OS:
Is this possible when a phone is rooted? Or am I missing something?
OH and..
What is Froyo and do I need it?

Froyo is the latest version of the Android OS. Currently the only way to get Froyo on the Aria is flashing CM6 on the phone.
It's really not a question of "Do you need it?" more so, "Do you want it?"
I updated about a month ago to CM6 and it was a small learning curve from HTC Sense UI to the Android UI. I haven't felt the need to go back to the Sense UI, both have their ups and downs.

That link is a pretty good read. Hope that helps a little! As for your first post... I don't know the answer to the first question, but the 2nd is Yes, you can still update (that is when AT&T allows a 2.2 update) even though you are rooted.
Looks like the original Mytouch will be getting 2.2 update from HTC and T-Mobile, starting tomorrow.

I agree. I'm very curious of how it'll run with its 192MB RAM. Veryyy interesting.
To think I just sold mine for a G2.

How did you even manage that?.... Didn't read?
Does this mean we will lose root? I love all the options and features of root but it would be nice to have a solid froyo rom.
nevermind. i think i have to unroot before i can do the update.

lol, I just nandroided back to CM6 this morning.
How do you guys think FroYo will run on the MT3G? I predict not well! I'm almost thinking I'd rather stay rooted on Donut or CM6 so I can at least overclock it.
Too bad I've got the 1.2.

CM6 = Froyo and it flys and works great. Why wouldn't the tmo froyo release run well? And what rom were you using that you had to nandroid to CM6? I'm confused by your post.

I predict we won't get the OTA update if we're rooted, and if we are it will most likely wipe out root access. I'm gonna need to reinstall that stupid amazonmp3 apk and unroot so I can get this stupid update.
If I don't like it I'm gonna SAPPIMG.nbh back to 1.5 so I can use flashrec to get amon_ra back and then nandroid back to 1.6.
Jebus, I feel like I'm speaking in tongues, lol.

most ROMs disable OTA updates.
and no way would I revert back to stock until it's confirmed that the official 2.2 doesn't somehow break root access.
Give the Devs until Thursday. and they will have the OTA with root to flash on our phones (if you want it). I, personally, won't go back to stock after tasting CM goodness!
Does anyone know where I can get the nbh file , and radio link to unroot? I have tried all the links on this site and none works anymore!

No radio update needed, the nbh file will take care of all of that.
Just copy this to the root of your SD card, boot into the bootloader (vol down + power), hit apply update and let it do it's thing.
DON'T restore anything through TiBa or mybackup until AFTER you've received the ota update. Should take about a day or two of the phone being on and connected to 3G.

The MT3G just doesn't have enough ram to support an OS this large. CM6 is good but still way slower than oem 1.6 w/androot and overclock.
I rooted a few months back by using sappimg and flashrec, then installed CM5 with mediocre results. I got sick of the instability and unrooted. Then I rooted the stock 1.6 w/universal androot, overclocked it, and left it alone for a while.
A week or so ago I backed up my oem 1.6 w/root, then I flashed CM6. 3 or 4 days ago I backed up my CM6 and went back to my nandroid of oem1.6 w/root. This time I ditched CM due to crazy bad battery life and the phone running way hot. I suspected it would have done better with compcache disable but I got sick of screwing with it.
This morning I nandroided back to CM6 to screw around with it some more, (wanted to disable compcache and give it another shot) but just now I'm going back to the oem donut again because froyo is inherently slow on a phone with this little ram, although disabling compcache helped a bit. Also the gallery is too slow to use.
Does that make more sense? Basically I'm indecisive and keep switching back and forth, lol.

Rooting isn't hard at all. You should go ahead & root now
+1 on the root now. While your at it install a custom rom and you will love your phone. Odds are you can get the Froyo update right here before it hits OTA anyways.
Yeah I've rooted my vibrant before I had to get a new one. It is easy but I would probably have to un root it to update right?
Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
I don't understand what waiting would do. What you should NOT do is get the Froyo update from T-Mobile, as there is a chance that they will push an update that breaks your ability to root with 2.2 and you will have to wait even longer.
I recommended you root now, install Rom Manager, go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=813001
Download Fusion 1.1 to your SDCARD (I have a folder called ROMS) and go to Clockwork, reboot into Recovery, Reinstall Packages, Install ZIP from SDCARD, choose Bionix 1.1, wait, and then see what that phone is really capable of.
Using Fusion 1.1 makes me not mind waiting for Froyo.
Yeah you are right it's just I haven't got to comfortable w/ flashing roms just yet. Looks a bit hard I guess I will just keep watching the videos on it till I feel like I can do it
Sent from my vibrant while I'm working. I love my job
Flashing roms is super easy as long as you're using ones flashable through rom manager. I must warn you it's very addictive. The only thing I would say is make your you backup in case something goes wrong and avoid Voodoo until you've flashed a few times and feel more comfortable. Great thing is there is tons of support here. I suggest you try Bionix Final.
Well guys I'm pretty convinced I think im going to do it I'm going to look into it thanx alot for your input

Dooo eeet!
Yes, it's daunting at first to flash a new ROM, but I just did it for the first time a few weeks ago and it was simple and easy. Just read up as much as you can and then write up a "roadmap" on all the steps you need to take, before, during, and after. It removed a lot of headaches for me because I planned it all out and had all the software ready in case anything went wrong (Odin, stock ROM, etc.). If there are any gaps in your understanding or questions about a process, ask them here before you flash!
I would root it and load a custom ROM, waiting for official OTA update to Froyo is like playing a Russian roulette now. Look what a simple update that was suppsoed to address GPS and other issues did to your fellow TMO users.
As always, there will be people who wouldn't even know that you can root the device to make it your own, so they will always run stock, and complain to TMO when they click MobiTV app and never use it, but have to cough up 10 bucks a month for it (it is just an example).
If you came here you know that you can do something to your phone besides waiting for Froyo, take a full advantage of what is offered in the dev section, and don't forget to support the developers if you like the work they do
Ok I'm reading the thread you posted how do I preform nandroid back up?

If you are going to root, you might as well just do it.
Froyo could easily be 2-3 months down the road yet.
you need ROM manager...
it took me forever to find a how-to on this exact thing.
You have to be rooted in order to accomplish this:
1. root (obviously)
2. download ROM manager
3. open ROM manager and click on 'Flash ClockworkMod Recovery' and pick your phone.
4. click 'Backup Current ROM'
5. Let it do it's thing... it's going to reboot and run in recovery then reboot again.
6. You are done!!
To recover, you have to boot into clockwork recovery and click restore then pick the date file you made to recover to that date!
** If any of this is wrong, please call me out!!
Yeah, I started doing all this before I even discovered ROM Manager and ClockworkMod Recovery. Those tools definitely make everything so much easier.
Make sure you have the following software tools:
ADB
Odin
Rom Manager (w/ ClockworkMod Recovery installed)
Titanium Backup
Also, make sure your phone is not hardware locked before you begin. Try the standard procedure to enter Recovery Mode; if your phone is hardware locked, run the flashable fix (found in the dev forum) so that you have some way of recovering from a soft brick.
From my experiences, rooting has always been the fastest way to get updates. Those rollouts take forever.
Just rooted and installed fusion 1.1 it's great thanx for the tips guys

lol. i was waiting for a froyo release, i flashed my g1 a bunch so flashing wasn't a big deal, but i was happy with the phone stock for a bit and didn't mind waiting. but i rooted after a week. was flashing smaller things like ji2 gps, getting rid of bloatware, changing bootup/shutdown, etc. a couple weeks later. and a couple weeks after that i started flashing roms.
moral of the story? just root and start flashing now, it's a long wait.
Ok, Here is the link, T-mobile is advertising 2.2 Froyo on the Mytouch Slide....
http://mytouch.t-mobile.com/mytouch-3g-slide-features#/apps
WTF... They must be close to releasing it or they wouldn't advertise it on their website as running 2.2 Or is this just another trick from T-mobile to sell more Mytouch Slides
A doubt
i have a mytouch slide unlocked, and currently running froyo 2.2.1 by CM. i cant get an OTA update, but i really like the espresso ui along with the genius and other things. how can i get the t-mobile 2.2, if they release it and will it work on my phone.?

You would have to revert back to stock in order to get the OTA if/when it comes out. There really is no need though. You will find the latest updates here, probably before you would get them on your phone. CR is the best at getting us out the latest stuff and keeping everything updated.

I have reverted to stock, If I get the update (Whenever that is) I will post the update.zip file. But we are waiting for t-mobile to push the update still. It's gotta be soon as they have updated the website to say that the mytouch slide runs on "The Powerful Android 2.2 Froyo system" LOL.

Why in the world would you return to the restrictions of being on stock?
A rooted ver of the OTA is always made here in xda so theres no point in bother with stock, root gives you complete control over your phone and allows you to make it yours.
Just what I stated as above TO GET THE OEM OTA AND POST IT HERE. I'm well aware of rooting and S-Off I had both before going back to stock, re-rooting and S-offing again isn't that big of a deal. I did a nadroid backup before I went back to stock so I can have my phone back in short order.

um...You probably should have waited till they actually start sending out the OTA. Second, It doesnt come in a update.zip file so unless you know how to extract the complete file from your phone after it has been updated and then turn it into a update.zip you are going to be S.O.L.
It doesn't matter !

so i pointed out to him where he can get the 2.2.1 with epresso, not stock android.
I was runnings myms 2.2 with clockworkmod and I went back to stock by downloading the stock rom and when I go to update it says no updates available.
I'm wondering if maybe I didn't install a new stock rom or something is wrong.
You can just get a rooted version of the update from this site if you do the ota you will lose root.

When I heard it was out, I flashed back to the stock rom, and checked for it, but it said my system was up to date. After about a day, though, it asked me if I wanted to update to the new version. Which unfortunately wouldn't install for me. Which is fine, I like CM7 better than sense anyways.
If you haven't seen it yet, just wait a bit, it'll probably show up.

Don't take this the wrong way but I don't care about modding or hacking, stock android is just fine to me. I never tethered nor have I used anything that is a benefit of rooting. I just want a phone to be a phone.
It's not that serious to me, I kinda have other things a bit more important than changing roms and so forth.
Stock Android is perfectly fine to me.
geez, your making this harder than it has to be. you are already rooted. just download the rooted rom and be done with it. you will still be running a stock rom even though your rooted. if you do absolutely nothing with root u can still download and install the rooted stock rom and use it

Then just download and flash the rooted stock rom by xHausx. Done.
It has all the stock apps and stuff. No mods or themes. No one said you need to.do all that stuff if you root. Rooting just gives you the option to do so.
I wanted to root just to get rid of some sprint apps. Then I switched my rom but no other hacking for me.
