Ive been looking everywhere trying to root the mytouch slide..Half the tutorials dont explain enough in depth for someone new to root. Its very confusing and I keep getting stuck. Does anyone know an easy way to root this phone? Ive rooted other phones no problem but this ones got me super frustrated. Any help is appreciated..
The problem is I can never get the phone to say recovery within command prompt. It always stays in offline mode .
Youre using an outdated method. Use nbetchers. Also this is dev not q&a

If you are running CM6 or later I think I have read the native Hot spot feature is free. Is this true? I can't get wifi tether from the market to work with any success.
Thanks
dont use the market one, go to dev website that makes it and download the newest beta
linky http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list?can=2&q=Evo
Ok I downloaded the newest beta.. still can't get it to go over like .8kb up and .1 down.. any suggestions?
Just use the one built in to CM6. Settings>Wireless>Tethering
I have a question is the market app bad ? Is there away to trace it or for sprint to find out ?
I'm only asking cus I'm having a hard time figuring out all this rooting stuff its extremely intimidating and because I don't kno to much I'm scared of doing it
And bricking the phone or messing it up but it defin I something wanna do I wanna theme it and everything

Wireless Tether usually works well on our phones. Sprint can easily find out if they wanted too but I highly doubt they will bother checking unless you start using ridiculous amounts of bandwidth.
Just be careful when flashing radios or your hboot and you should be fine. those are the main ones you need to worry about.
I am thinking about rooting my slide because I am fed up of waiting for tmobiles slow a**, but I have two question that I would like to know.
1.Can you still use swype??
2.are you still able to use flash lite since there's no adobe 10.1 for us yet??
Thanks in advance to all the people that take the time to answer my questions

You can install swype to cm but it isn't installed by default. There's a thread in this section about getting it installed actually. As for flash, I don't think that will work, no. I have never actually tried it, but theoretically, you might be able to download CR_Mod and extract HTC_Flash.apk from /system/app to say, your downloads folder, then adb push that file to /system/app after you root in clockwork recovery (remember to mount /system in the partitions menu in clockwork). Post back if you need me to explain more about that, and I will, I'm just using my phone so it'd be a bit hard on my thumbs to type the long explanation haha

Well, you might be able to pull htcflash/flash light from the stock ROM and use that, but I'm pretty sure that's a part of webkit, and I doubt that it would work on a different browser, so yeah probably not.
Hi, my friend wants metoo get internet working on their metro incredible. All I know is they know nothing about rooting and I know nothing about metro. I personally dont know If u have to root the incredible to make it work on metro or if u just bring it in and they set it up but I know they didn't root it themselves. Anyways they say they can do everything but get internet to work. So I was wondering if there is a guide on how to get internet. I did a google search but everything seems old. So if someone could point metoo a current guide that would be nice.

Ok, here's the deal. Let me start off by saying that I am no idiot, I have been a tech for 15 years and this is the first phone that I've had a problem with.
I have an incredible that I want to root then flash to metroPCS. I first tried unrevoked and it said that my firmware was too new. So I figured I would try to downgrade my bootloader after googling the error. I tried literally every set of directions that I could find.
If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.

I can only help you root your phone, I don't know anything about flashing to another carrier. What is your phone setup android version, etc?
If you are on Gingerbread (2.3.4) then you can follow this thread by Scotty1223. It is the only way to root Gingerbread that I know of for the Incredible.

Lol I'm running a DINC on MetroPCS right now with full everything. Talk, Text, mms and web. You can use any sprint or Verizon android phone on MetroPCS. Metropcs is cdma also.

Read First
No offense, but 15 years does not mean you know everything.
I explained that I routed three phones, and unrevoked said the same thing at first.
You have to read the entire document and then do all the steps that are like 5, then run the unrevoked that is the last.
The document is attached in Word.
well i recently got a g2. it is currently unlocked but i want to get it rooted too. will the rooting affect the status of it being unlocked? it is tmobile branded so i am guessing it will unlocked by typing in a special code? thanks. also how can i root the phone? just send me a link. i am experienced in rooting as i have a rooted epic 4g and also my girlfriend galaxy 2.
No rooting and unlocking are two seperate things and don't affect one another. Not @ a computer so just google the link try "htc g2 root wiki" will be one of the first hits I'm sure. Read first make sure you understand, having said that its safe and easy

thanks. that last link to the permanent root helped.
how do i know which is the appropriate clockwork recovery for my phone? i think i need the first one ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0:?
Any for the vision will work, you can always upgrade later. And in the future I recomend 4ext but it is mostly prefrence

thanks. almost done. going smoothly. not really liking the phone. isnt comparable to the epic 4g or the galasxy s2. might just sell it after i do this
Lot of people seem to think this way, personally I love this phone and for my needs there isn't a better one out there. I doubt ill buy a new one for years
