How to REALLY Root and update your 2.2.1 Slide to cyanogen 7 - Noob Edition Summer 11

You have undoubtedly seen lot of Rooting guides for the Mytouch 3G Slide, claiming to root the phone:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025336 How-To [Root][NewLinks] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root
SuperOneClick doesn't work. Nothing works, I've tried them all several times from several different angles. Therer is some sort of NAND lock on the phone, above and beyond typical. Anyways.
None of the aformentioned guides work, so won't waste your time like I did. They are also all written by people who can not communicate well with other human life forms, and they assume you have a CS and/or IS degree, and also assume you have all the software installed on your machine that they have on theirs, and have all the same settings on your phone that you "should" have on yours and they also assume you are doing some "obvious" steps in the middle of their steps that you should know how to do. They won't tell you that, but they do. So here is the REAL definitive step by step guide, with pics, on how to do it. BTW, you don't need a gold card. You don't need to mess with any consol crap. This should take 15-20 minutes max. What we're basically going to be doing is downgrading to 2.1-update1, then rooting, then putting on the Cyanogen Mod, then adding the google apps (which are not included in the cyanogen mod). I've put as many pics as I could and tried to do a step by step that ANYONE can follow.
I was using Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and I think these are the things that you need to have set up, you may not need them but I was trying so many of everything that I don't even know if they are all required, I'm sure I missed some things, but I will keep editing this guide as needed)
*Make sure you have at least 25MB of free space on your phone's internal memory.
*Make sure you've backed everything up you want to (text messages, bookmarks, programs, etc) But the google cloud should keep most your other stuff okay. (email etc) http://tinyurl.com/3b4qp6q
*Turn USB Debugging on your phone. (Settings, applications, development > USB Debugging - check)
*Turn phone to charge mode only when you plug in the USB cable
*PDAnet was running on the PC (This is required it will install the correct driver for step 1, though it's a tethering app and you won't need it for that) - http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php
1. Plug in phone and go to device manager from control panel on your computer.
You open the "Android USB Devices" and see what driver it says.
If it says something like "Mytouch Slide 3G"

}
go to Update driver > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick
pick this one: "ADB Device Interface" , say okay, etc.
If it does say "ADB Drvice Interface" you're good. Exit out of that.
2. Download "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-mytouch-3g-slide/downloads/ (157MB)
3. Go to your temp windows folder. IF you do Start > Search %TEMP% it should pop up. Keep on eye on this folder as you do the next step. (Maybe sort by date modified to help)
4. Double Click the "T-Mobile_myTouch_3G_Slide_Software_Update_2.15.531.3.exe" file and have it extract everything. At the first main screen, just wait there with it open and not installed.
You hopefully should have seen some folders be created in your temp file. There were 2 on mine, like so, check them both out:
When you see the one that looks like this:
and has a folder structure like this:
that's the folder you want to copy. So:
5. Highlight the folder with "ARUWizard.exe" and "rom.zip" in it. Mine had about 74 files in it. Copy it, and copy it to another part of your hard drive, and rename that awful folder, sheesh. (not needed)
6. You can close out of the Rom Update Utility.
7. In that NEW copied folder, delete "rom.zip"
8. Download the ~140 MB "ESPRIMG.zip" from here: http://www.4shared.com/file/OsmF_ZD7/ESPRIMG.html
9. Put it into the folder that we copied out, and rename it from ESPRIMG.zip TO rom.zip
10. Now, while you are in that folder, "ARUWizard.exe" check check, next, etc.
11. This will downgrade your phone from 2.2.1 to 2.1-update1
12. Tada! Good job. Now, go download the lastest Cyanogen firmware ROM here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=espresso
13. Rename the "update-cm-7.X.X-Slide-signed.zip" to "update.zip"
14. While you are doing this, download the lastest Google Apps from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version#Google_Apps Mine was called "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" and put that on your phone's memory card as well, no renaming needed.
15. Turn off your phone and take out the memory card and put it in your computer (or turn the phone back into a mountable drive) and copy over the update.zip onto the root director of your memory card.
16. Hold "down volume" and "power" which will boot you into a techy looking screen. Ignore any errors, the volume up and down navigates, so go into "Recovery" Mode.
17. Once in the Recovery, you will see a device with a triangle. Press "Volume Up" & the "Power" button.
18. Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. Then select the option to Wipe cache partition.
19. See the option to "apply sdcard:update.zip" ? Do it, with power as confirm. This will put the Cyanogen mod on your phone!
20. Reboot system now. Now, you should boot into Cyanogen 2.3.x! However, you will notice you don't have any of the google apps.
21. So, Now, go into your programs on the phone, and you will see "Rom Manager" a eye with a tophat. Say "Install Rom from SD Card" and pick the "gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip" You may have to fiddle with the plugging in USB/etc to get access to this, you don't have to buy the program, it will do it, but you have to have it set up so you can see the MicroSDcard, etc.
It will reboot your phone and you will now and install all the google apps. The most important one is MARKET, so you can download stuff. It will now go through all the TOS for each google program you said you want. The rest the wizard should navigate you through properly.
Holy hell this was a terribly troubleshooting process which probably took me 20 hours to figure out they were ALL wrong. Big thanks to "Da Maestro" who helped me on Cyanogenmod.
Enjoy!

wait wait wait... so will this method revert the hboot from 1. whatever to the older version and allow S-OFF?!

yeah, I don't even know what you're saying, I'm such the nube. I don't think this deals with the S-On/Off problem though. I saw some other posts that fixed that. This method does nothing to do with that, as far as I know
All I'm saying is I have Cyanogen 7 on my phone and this is how I did it from 2.2.1 stock.

as far as i'm aware of, there's no S-OFF after you upgrade to 2.2.1, so i was thinking if you can check your hboot by powering off your phone and then turn it on by holding down volume down and power button. hboot version should be on the very top of your screen.

Bootloader error
I get 140 bootloader version error from the RUU. So far I have not been able to get any of the root mrthods to work with my slide.
Any ideas?

Well at least your not alone in that club. Getting the same error, even using a goldcard. I guess back to the drawing board for us at least.

yeah I had that error too,
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/28205-stuck-on-step-8-rooting/
EDIT: To fix it, make sure PDANet it installed and that will install the driver so you can change it from "t-mobile mytouch 3G" to "ADB Device..." It's step 1.

That is one thing I didn't see, although upon checking it,s not there, and I do have the android SDK installed :/
If it helps any I'm on windows 7 ultimate x64 (since the problem seems driver related).
*edit 1* I keep seeing places where it says to check for the ADB interface driver, but nobody seems to know how to actually install said driver, or where it can be found at.
*edit 2* Turns out that PDAnet is what supplies the ADB driver, so as it happens that IS required (and here I thought that was a stupid tethering app)
*Edit 3* So just to make sure I downloaded the software on the posted links just to make sure some of the other versions I had were not incompatable, and still no joy. At this point I've spent a good 6 hours trying to root this phone and growing significantly more annoyed with it. If anyone has any feel free to contact me, I'd really like to get this working.

hey thanks, I'll edit the guide to say it's required.

Same here, went through all of the steps, still keep getting the 140 error.
edit* went all the way through the steps again very thoroughly, still getting the same error 140. Any Ideas?

It was such a complicated process, dealing with all the other guides some part of them may have worked that I missed. Maybe you do indeed need to make a gold card. It didn't work (I think) on one MicroSD card so I changed to another one.
So I guess make a gold card and give it a try. This is the guide I used to make a gold card:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Create_a_Goldcard
Thanks for helping me get this guide correct.
One thing I did have to do is change USB ports and USB cables, as stupid as that is, I know, I know. The ones in my monitor worked but the front ones on my computer didn't work with the ROM update utility, but I think the error code I was getting was 170 or 171 USB disconnect error.

What if you were to save that rom.zip file directly on the SD card, as the update.zip file first? Would that load 2.1? Because the installer wont.
I'm going to try it....
Nope, didn't work.

The gold card would be great if I had a second sd card, guess I will have to go buy one if I want to regain root.

the gold card worked for me just fine after getting my replacement phone on 2.2.1 all i did was back up everything on my sd card make and use the gold card get root and put every thing back on my sd card just fine.

Yes, its installed and running. Also, I made a gold card out of my SD card and tried again, and still got the same error. I am starting to hate T-Mobile!

Do you have a link to the Gold Card method that worked for you? I keep getting a bootloader error with this method, about ready to give up.

did this as it reads, i am not a super geek, just know how to follow a list of things to do. i rooted one other time before this when it was really hard to do still. i thought this way was easier

I'm kinda confused why there is gold card discussion here. The method outlined in the first post specifically says that you don't need a gold card. Does this method not work and is that why you are trying gold card stuff?

I don't think should have it running while you root. (I would assume that would just cause problems.) You just need to install it for the usb drivers and make sure it works.

Demo units have a special limited rom. He will need to run a full rom on it.

Yep. I would suggest 2 things. Get the uid, then flash a full update rom to 3.2. Then ota it to ics. Am mobile now, so you get the ball maverick!
Those demo roms are missing half the stuff. Not sure whether he has ext sd card access. Might have to euu him. Hence uid.

Hi, thank you all for your replies I am still having a hard time fully understanding everything like I said I am new to android. What I do know is it doesnt have google play which is my main concern. Kernel version 2.6.36.3 if that helps anyone its not bricked, I wouldnt mind flashing it if that would fix the problem and make it like a normal tablet version. Whats a UID? Where do I find it? Thanks again for your help

Well we will try and keep things simple for you, which isn't easy with this particular android device but the very first thing you should do is to retrieve your CPUID. This is imperative. If anything ever goes wrong this CPUID is needed to help you unbrick.
First we need to set up your PC to be able to communicate with your tab, so we need some drivers. This whole process works best with win7/vista/xp so if you are doing this on win8 you may have some issues. In saying that, if you're a Linux user, then thats even better, so please say if you are we can bypass a heap of stuff!!!
Head over to Acer Support and download the Acer drivers here Run the .exe to install
Download the usb drivers from here extract to a folder on your PC (desktop).
Once your drivers are installed check they are installed correctly.
1. Grab your micro usb cable and hook your tab to your PC (u should hear windows make the new hardware connected sound. Then you should see the 'new hardware wizard' attemp to install the Acer Drivers. Hopefully everything should install correctly.
2. Now on to test the usb/adb drivers. The files you extracted to your desktop. We aren't going to do anything as such with these, they just need to be on your system somewhere.
So, when you are ready.....right click the extracted folder (hold down shift key at the same time) You should see the context menu with an option to
"Open command window here..."
3. When the command opens type the following with no quote marks:
"adb devices" and then press enter.
4. You should see "List of devices attached....and a series of numbers/letters here like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
this is your magical CPUID! and it should have 15 characters - write this number down and guard it with your life!!!
5. If you don't see this window, it means your PC does not 'see' your tab.
Try a different micro usb cable and make sure the cable is firmly connected, try a different usb port on your PC.
Well, thats your first lesson of the day
Once the drivers are setup correctly, we can move on to getting your tab upgraded into some ICS/Jellybean goodness!
Good luck with lesson 1, ya got any probs or u don't understand something, just ask

Not that I am aware of. Gonna need a PC with windows XP or 7. Mainly because most of the apps we use are windows based. And I wouldn't trust a windows emulator. Also, acer drivers install is windows based.
Do you have access to your external SD card? Will need to know.
The demo unit is the same as a regular 500. All the same hardware. The difference is the ROM they install. If you have access to your external SD card, it will make the process a little easier. Basically just put a full update rom on it, and reboot it via recovery.
But.... UID number we must have, just in case things go south as dibb said.
So check access to external sd card. You can do this by going to Settings>Storage and check.
Don't worry, we've done a couple of demo units in the past.
Mac's.....pffffttttt.....

NEWS FLASH
I told you we have dealt with Demo units in the past.
Go to;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410802&highlight=demo
You;ll need to read the posts....
Install the old Iconiaroot apk
Install Acer Recovery and let it install a CWM (custom recovery). Probably the oldest version.
After it's done, Flash a version 3.1 ROM
Let it OTA all the way to ICS
This of course is just another option. This is the old original way before version 3.2.

Well, that figures..demo unit... EUU time.
Basically, you are going to need a windows PC with the acer drivers installed. The whole process will take about an hour, so make sure your tablet is charged fully.
Get the following files;
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816560 scroll down to the EUU, and click the box "show content". Select the torrentz file. Yes, it's torrentz, so you will need a torrentz app installed on the PC. If you don't want to deal with torrentz, let me know, and I'll check my drives nd see if I have the package.
2. go here;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624645
Go to the bottom, and download the "usbdeview". There are 2. 1 for 32 bit windows, and 1 for 64 bit windows.
Extract both of those above packages to a folder on your pc.
Now, make sure on your tablet, you have USB Debugging set to ON (look in your System Settings, as I can't remember exactly where on HC 3.0). Connect yer tablet to PC and make sure you have no errors. If everything is good, unplug, and plug it back in a few times just to be sure.
Now, with tab connected, run the USBdeview app you extracted. Should give you a long set of numbers and letters. Write them down, or save in Notepad. This is your UID. You can close the app
Next, with tab still connected, run the EUU executable you extracted. Just follow the steps exactly as they say. This may take awhile. It'll probably ask for that UID number at some point.
When it's all finished, you should have to restart the tab, and the first boot will be somewhat long (10+ minutes or so). But it should boot into a fully working 3.0 HC. Which is crap by the way . You'll need to OTA, or contact us for advice.
Good luck.

try this EUU it will upgrade you to HC3.2.1 - its pre-rooted and will give you a custom recovery as well. Theres a readme with instructions included in the zip. As with any EUU you will need your cpuid to use it but usbdeview is also in there.
while you are waiting for this to download try rooting your current rom with this then install this .apk and you will be able to install a custom recovery. Once you are in recovery, the main screen will display yr cpuid too.

[Q] GT-S5360 Android 4-4-4 KitKat Tutorial: Drivers and Help Needed

I've successfully installed the LiquidSmooth ROM on my Kindle Fire HD, so now I'm keen to update my Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360.
I've read this tutorial, which seems to be written for my level (newbie). However, when I switch my S5360 into USB Debugging Mode, Windows 7 64-bit can't find the drivers; Device Manager shows this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It needs drivers for BCM21553-Thunderbird, CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM), and CDC ACM Data
Any suggestions?
Also, any comments on the above tutorial?
I'm doing it on a spare phone first, but I will need to backup my real one.

You need to install the USB drivers
You can find them on my firmware thread or type in Google Samsung USB drivers
Remember if on Windows 8.1 to install the driver setup in compatibility mode
Right click the setup
Select properties
Compatibility tab
Select run this programme in compatibility mode for
Select windows xp sp3 from the drop down box
Select apply
Run the setup
Also note there is no official KitKat for the galaxy y - only an unofficial cm11
Also I wouldn't follow those instructions

Thanks for that. I'm a bit worried about "You must ensure that your phone is running the latest baseband available for your region, or else your device will not operate correctly when a SIM card is inserted..."
I got the drivers from http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows as linked in "... @marcussmith2626's stock ROM thread". I hope this is correct.

That is correct - Install those USB drivers - you will need them to flash the latest baseband (modem file) in download mode via odin
You can download just the modem file or the entire stock rom firmware from my firmware thread
You only need to update the baseband so you just need modem files but if you want to revert to stock rom at a later date you will need the entire firmware

Thanks, I found your firmware thread. I assume I should use the "Modem Only" files. I downloaded from the link, it contains four md5 files. Is this correct? I use my phone in the UK and in Spain, I think I should use MODEM_S5360_XXMK1.tar.md5 - yes?
BTW, the drivers worked, but I was expecting to see my phone appear as a drive?

Yes just place one of the modem files in the phone section of Odin & flash it - Just follow the instructions on the thread but in this case you are only flashing the modem file
I suggest that as you are in Europe you use a modem file that begins XX (like the one you quoted)
Note that you can match the modem file to the firmware - in the firmware name it's the last lot of characters
Eg pda_csc_modem

Thank you. However, I still don't understand how to get the various files (CWM, new ROM, Gapps etc) onto the phone in the first place. I expected a new disk to appear in My Computer.

Start phone normally
Connect USB cable to pc
A notification will appear in phones status bar about USB storage
Select this notification
A window appears on phone
Depending on rom do one of the following
Press the button that says connect to pc
Or
Touch the logo of the droid to connect to pc
You will then see the drive in (my) computer on pc
Put the files like rom zip cwm & so on in the root of the sd card (this means not in any folder)
Note if using Windows 8.1 and you don't get the notification in the status bar when you plug in the USB cable & the phone only shows as charging see my thread about to connect to mass storage for Windows 8.1 (link in my signature)
Please note questions like this can easily be answered by the power of Google - please search next time

Nope.
PC makes USB chime, SAMSUNG Android Phone (SAMSUNG Android ADB Interface) appears in Device Manager.
Brand new phone, although I think it was previously rooted.

It should look like this (note I got these images from Google and it may look different on your phone)
Notification USB connected
When you click on notification
If you are using Windows 8.1 and you don't get the notification plug your phone into pc so it shows its charging then plug any other USB device you already have installed in (like a USB mouse) The notification should then appear on the phone
If not try different cable - use rear USB port if on pc & not front ones or hubs - reflash latest stock firmware via odin & test - try a different pc if possible

Thanks, but I don't get any of that on my spare phone, however my identical real phone works; I really want to test this on the spare. This isn't something to do with the spare phone not having a SIM is it?

But I guess no SD card does, see my update
I'm afraid I had to follow the original tutorial, and it seemed to work OK. So now I want to try this for real: how do I back-up and restore my Contacts, Pictures etc?

Haha yes not having an sd card inserted would be a major problem if you are trying to copy something to it lol
You can either use the auto Google backup if you are signed in via a Google account & then restore them when you sign in again
Or use an app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
Pictures copy to pc
Apps use titanium backup (playstore)
Remember if you want to do something there is always (android version permitting) an app for it

I seem to have another problem now: Cyanogenmod boots, but hangs at the Welcome screen, asking for a language.
I think I'm going to give up, my only reason for doing all this was to clear some space in the phone memory, and delete some stock apps.

This can happen if you flash gapps before booting the phone for the first time after flashing the rom
Boot the rom first then go back into recovery & flash gapps

[DISCUSSION]All things Oxygen OS: Features, download, install, root, troubleshooting

Installation steps:​
Please make sure all your data and files are backed up before commencing. Flashing OxygenOS onto CM does require a system wipe, so you will lose all of your data. We are actively working on an easier, more automated solution soon to be available, but for now the build must be flashed manually.
Please proceed only if you are confident in your abilities to flash a custom ROM. This guide exists to help you flash OxygenOS, but things can still go wrong if not followed correctly. While rooting and flashing will not void your OnePlus warranty, any damage caused by improper flashing is not covered under warranty.
The following instructions assume you have Fastboot and ADB installed.
Step 1
You first need to flash a recovery onto your device. We recommend using TWRP. Please download the recovery image to your computer. You can follow their instructions to flash recovery, or you can reference these steps:
Boot into fastboot mode. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down the power button and the volume up button. When you see the fastboot logo, connect your device to your computer.
In your terminal window, find the folder where you put the recovery image and run the following commands:
fastboot oem unlock (You can skip this step if your phone’s bootloader is already unlocked).
fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>. Image file should be the TWRP recovery image.
fastboot reboot
You should now have the recovery installed.
Step 2
Copy oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip to your phone. On a Mac, you can use Android File Transfer.
Step 3
Boot into recovery. You can do this on your OnePlus One by holding down both the volume down key and the power button.
Step 4
Once you are in the recovery interface, the first thing you want to do is a factory reset. Again, you will lose all your data so please make sure you have backed up everything before doing this.
Step 5
After the wipe, go to install and find oxygenos_1.0.0.flashable.zip. Confirm flash. This will flash OxygenOS onto your device.
Step 6
After the flash succeeds, you can reboot the device, which will take you to the new OxygenOS. Enjoy!
If you find yourself wanting to rollback to CM, Make sure you have TWRP or CM recovery on the device. Another factory reset will be needed before flashing unfortunately so make sure you backup all of you data.

There is a zip inside downloaded zip! Flash that.

The First Pre-Rooted Firmwares for​
Samsung SM-J110H Galaxy J1 Ace Duos​
Samsung SM-J110H Pre-Rooted Firmwares:
- J110HXXU0AOGA v4.4.4 KitKat: Download (AFH Link) Tested
- J110HXXU0APB2 / J110HODD0APB1 India v4.4.4 KitKat: Download (AFH Link).
- J110HXXU0APB2 / J110HOJV0APB2 Arabic v4.4.4 KitKat: Download (AFH Link).

Hi!
I test this firmware in my SM-J110L and works perfect.
As a detail, i wish to comment some considerations.
1 - Firmware can be flashed without clearing davlik cache or anything. At least, in my experience, works fine without doing that. As far as i see around, clearing cache is needed only when you get stuck in boot animation.
2 - Due to the software included in my phone, SU binarie works in first boot, but cannot be updated (rom ask for it but, doing it, SU binary is deleted and root access is lost)
To solve it, is needed to remove samsung KMS and EMS software from the phone. This software is there to "protect" the phone, and is the responsible of deleting SU binary. It's harmless to remove it.
To do this, in first boot (when SU works and you can gain root access) install ES Filexplorer (i use it, but for sure other apps can do it), activate root functions, and delete KMS and EMS software from system (ES allow to do this via User Apps section, remove system app).
This particular model is "low profile". So, RAM memory is the first thing is reduced. This can be solved using Apps2SD, RAMEXPANDER (to activate Zram functions) and Swapper2 to activate Swap space on microSD card (need to be partitioned first)
Actually, i was not able to find a custom bootloader for this phone (SM-J110L is not equal to J110H, at least in bootloader protection). and even i cant find any custom rom for it.
Hope this info helps to the owners of this great phone. Considering cost/prestation is a great choice. And there's a lack of info about it.
Best regards,
Alejandro

Thanks a lot for your work!

Ok bro, But please can you give the complete name of these two APKs to remove?

com-skms-android-agent.apk contains all the problematic stuff.
All new Samsung phones comes with this APK preinstalled. Looks like, for security reasons, it kills SU binary. (KMS agent works with NFC service, so, removing it, leaves NFC services unavailable. No problem if you don't want to use your phone as a credit card. This explains the security issue with SU binary. Can be reinstalled later if anyone need it (losing root, of course))

Good day friends, a question, I want to install this rom but not if it is done with Odin or what is the method to install it?

As far i know, not yet. Even CWM. Someone is working in TWRP for j110h, but i test it in my 110l and its not working. Looks like bootloader is protected in a different way. Here is the work. But, as i say, it's for the 110 lte, and looks like is different to the 110j.
You can try helping them (maybe with some testing) to reach a TWRP version that works in our phones.
