[IRC] #HTC_MT4GS - Support Channel for MyTouch4G Slide

JKILO · Feb 5, 2012

Noticed you guys didn't have a support channel 24/7 in case people have issues with their device. I've set this up and granted I can't stay awake 24/7 I would like to see this community more involved. The more support you have for the community the more support for the phone

So come in, chat, ask questions, its all up to you!

Thank you for this !

This is a good idea.

I tried to connect last night through the device, but it wasn't working out too well.

Is there a recommended way to connect through the phone? Maybe an app that works through the T-Mo network?

Also - Since this has the potential to let people work things out much more quicly/easily... Can I request that if problems get solved or new information is discovered and there are no threads about it, can one be made after the fact?

Anyone who wasn't in the irc chatroom won't have access to that fix otherwise.

i signed in with the app AndroidIRC, no problem. seems to work better on wifi, but i've used it on the mobile network in the past. i believe the app is a couple bucks in the market.

it would make sense to me to post any discoveries found in the channel into these forums

edit: can't seem to connect to irc.freenode.net via the app while connected to the mobile network only. it keeps saying something about needing to identify via SASL to use this server.

On a quick search, that's the only one with SASL support, which is where my problem was. When I get the chance to get market apps again it's on my buy list.

I tried to log in through the web page, but on the mobile it was no good on mobile network - I imagine it would be fine on the device through wifi and i'll try sometime. I have no trouble logging in through the webpage on a computer on a wifi network.

The last time I used IRC, mIRC was pretty new, so was my first brush with it over cellular networks. If you had no issues using that app then that'll probably be my answer for out and about.

That would be fantastic - probably the best way. Over time we can compile a pretty thorough FAQ, if people use it, and the easy web login makes that more likely.

hboot and recovery

I had my phone rooted for months (I think I did it properly using the method from unLocker.com, although when the hboot would load it would say no image found) Then all I would do is run recovery (clockwork I believe) to flash new ROMs... but now I am trying to upgrade to pyr-o-ice 1.1.3 from 1.1.2 and everytime I try to run recovery, it just brings me back to the hBoot. I think I messed things up when I downloaded the Clockwork app from the market and let it do it's "thing". I think it changed my hboot from 1.44.00something to 1.44.1107 (that may be the problem). I have been trying for hours to re-root using the method from unlocker but it is not working. Can anyone help me get recovery working again to flash new ROMs? p.s. Sorry if a solution is already given somewhere, I have looked for a while and haven't found it.

What's your exact HBOOT version number?

GooberdaNoober · Mar 20, 2012

my hboot is 1.44.1107

GooberdaNoober · Mar 20, 2012

oh wow! I just tried using the using the clockworkmod ROM manager app from the market and it actually worked this time to flash pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2. I don't know why it didn't work the several times that I tried this before. I guess I will just use this app to go into recovery and flash ROM in the future (kind of better anyways because I don't need to do a battery pull now everytime to go into hboot) apparently this app works to flash stuff. I haven't yet tried to go into Recovery the old way and I guess I don't need to worry about it any more.

Blue6IX · Mar 21, 2012

It's not necessary to do a battery pull to get into recovery...

...power off (not hibernate, turn that fastboot off in settings!) and wait for it to turn completely off.

...hold the 'Volume Down' button, and then press and release the 'Power' button (maybe 2 or 3 times if necessary while holding volume down...)

When you see the Hboot screen release volume down...

Let it load and settle for a minute, then choose 'recovery' from the menu...

...and that's it.

Not sure where you had to do a battery pull, unless you didn't have 'fastboot' turned off from in the ROM settings menu?

Go to your app drawer, then open the 'Settings' apk...

...find 'Power' in the list and tap it...

...scroll to the bottom and un-check the 'Fastboot' option.

The 'Fastboot' option in the settings -> power menu is a deep-sleep hibernation mode that turns almost everything off, but leaves the tiniest bit of power to one chip so it can wake everything up.

When it's ' off ' in HTC Fastboot mode, pressing the power button wakes the device up skipping a lot of things like hboot and so on to get your device from ' off ' to working in just a few seconds, instead of the minutes a normal boot takes.

Anyways, glad you found a way to get it all working!

GooberdaNoober · Mar 21, 2012

That is probably why I would have to do a battery pull (fastboot was never turned off to my knowledge). One problem though... I still can't find the option "power" in the settings menu to actually turn off fastboot. I am running pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2 right now (that I was able to flash using the ROM Manager app made by Clockworkmod) When I select Settings; it brings me into a series listed as the following:
WIRELESS & NETWORKS... Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Data Usage, More DEVICE... Sound, Display, Storage, Battery, Apps
EXTRA SETTINGS... Toggles, Clock, Battery Text, Custom carrier label
PERSONAL... Accounts and sync, Location services, Security, Language & input, Backup & reset
SYSTEM... Date & time, Accessibility, Developer options, About phone.
I couldn't find the fastboot setting anywhere in these. Also, I think something is wrong with the Recovery that I was using before ever since my Hboot changed to the 1.44.1107 it is now, because when I am in hboot and try to go into Recovery, it just loops back to Hboot. Luckily that ROM Manager App was able to flash the ROM (pyr-o-ice 1.1.3_2) but I don't know if I would recommend that to anyone else to use as I think when I installed ROM Manager and ran some of it's features, that it probably what changed my HBoot version (and subsequently messed up my ability to use recovery straight from hboot). I guess I am OK though since I can at least flash ROMs, but I am limited from some of the other features the old recovery had to offer.

GooberdaNoober · Mar 22, 2012

OK! So, so, sorry... I just went and did a power down and tried to go into hboot (volume down and power buttons) w/out battery pull and it DID go into hboot. I guess fastboot is turned off (even I couldn't find it anywhere in settings still). Sorry for confusing anybody (I'm a little confused myself) And now when I chose RECOVERY, it did work fine ( I have no idea what happened). I guess I just always assumed I needed to do a battery pull since that is what I had to do way back when I first rooted my phone and started flashing ROMs.
I still can't really get my USB to recognize on my computer though with this pyr-o-ice desense 1.1.3_2 (I got the Dual Mount SD app from the market but am having "weirdness"... when I plug in the USB to the phone and PC, I hear the "bloop bloop" sound but no icon pops up in the "devices with removable storage" catagory of my computer. I can only get it to recognize as a drive by selecting the "Power On Auto Mount" feature in Dual Mount SD app and then doing a power off and back on w/ the phone plugged in the whole time via USB to PC... and then that is even hit or miss. sometimes it comes up as a drive and sometimes it doesn't.) I would really, really love to get my phone to recognized as a drive just by plugging it in w/out having to do a power off and back on since I love taking pictures with the phone and getting them to PC asap. If anyone knows any tricks to help me out that would be super cool. And P.S.: sorry I'm such a noob, I am trying really hard and am a bit intimidated by complete lack of knowledge about most of this stuff.
