I've used Eugene's original method (a few times) and this one. This was pretty easy and took very little time or effort.

One click method? Never seen that for the slide. I used Eugenes method to root which is in the slide Rom bible and so far I've been able to root all 3 slides Ive ended up with very easily. You will have to use command prompt on ur computer but if u watch the video its really not hard at all. This is my.first android phone and it was simple for me so try it out an let us know.

go with exploid
I agree with whgarner, I used the exploid method and that was fast and efficient
I used this method and strongly recommend it: HTC Slide root guide from cyanogenmod
The guide assumes that you have already setup Android SDK on your computer and that you have installed the correct drivers for your phone so if you have'nt done that already you will need to, as all the methods I have seen so far for the Slide require ADB. Lemme know if you got any questions.

First off thanks for your response,
Im assuming that this guide works with the latest OTA.. btw can you contact me on gtalk? [email protected] (for quick response support) i just wanna make sure my wife gets her phone back asap. That way if i hit any walls i can get over them quickly and efficiently..
thanks again..
I am trying to root my phone using this method that requires usb drivers. But I am having troubles getting my computer to see the phone.
I later came across a program called visionary+ can I just select Attempt Permrootnow? Will that do the trick?
If it works how to I install a custom rom after that
Stick to Rage method
Visionary may work but many people had issues with it. I am very new to this, and I used the rage method. Look for the thread (here is the link) that guides you though it. I had issues understanding how to use adb, but the guys here on the forum were very helpful in guiding me through it.
This was my thread with help I received...it may be beneficial for you.
I like the rage method bcs I learned a bit of to do things on the phone without having to have someone automate it all for me. Give it a try it's not really difficult once you get a few things in order.
Good luck, and if you get stuck just ask, people on this forum are always willing to help.

First thing I need is to find a decent method eveything I've tired so far does not work. The most of them have been one-click methods so maybe thats the issue. What would you suggest?
i thought the root without a pc method was the easiest for me. i cheated and used a computer to move files over but i didnt really have too much trouble with it. i had a cliq before and could just do the one click method for rooting so i didnt have much experience beforehand.
I've done a bit of researching on rooting but most of it has been evasive to me at best.. I can do the typical jailbreak on an iPod, but lets face it, that's pretty easy. I'm looking to root my HTC Incredible and I've seen such word of a ?program? called "Revoked" or "unrevoked"... and I was hoping someone could give me knowledge about that or even better & easier rooting help.
My Incredible is at 2.3.4 and I'm running an HP with windows (I've heard its needed to know that when rooting hahaha)
I'm good at following directions but I'm not the geek of the family; mainly I could use some help as my battery is dying extraordinarily quick even though I have the extended battery,
I also have looked at scotty1223's "root2.3.4,downgrade..." but I cant seem to make much sense of it..
Thanks for your time,

I actually JUST wrote this post to explain how to root in plain English. Let me know if it works for you!

Ok, let me ask you this, are you just wanting root access? if so just do the first and second part of Scotty's method, I did this to my Dinc and got root access, but you have to follow it to a (T) or it wont work, just take your time.
Then I did the the rest of his tutorial which involves alot more time on your pc with a command window and typing things, or you can copy and paste the commands like I did straight from the tutorial.
PM me if you need more help and I will help you....

Hello im kind of new to this rooting thing but I have done a little reaserch and I have tried afew things iev read about but none of them seem to work I dont have a computer right now sadly but I was hoing there was a way to root all from my phone bmy hope is to turn my phone into my hand held comuter meaning networking comand shells editing themes and looks etc but if anyone can help or just point me to the right articles to read that would be much appreciated!!!
I have a g4 too, but I am very reluctant in rooting it because it has 2 year warranty and rooting will void that.
But if u still determined to root yours, the easiest way is kingoroot ( with PC) otherwise search for framaroot apk download (you can download it direct to your phone), I heard it is good though I never used it myself.
Best of luck
