Adb problem when trying to get root

Adb seems to work fine until I do the loop command and go into recovery. Then the device isn't recognized. Any ideas what could be causing this?? This is waaay more confusing than rooting the g1 lol. Thanks in advance guys

anything to do with how to root or flashing custom roms should be directed toward that thread specificially. They OP of those theads would have the best information.

[Q] questions for a new user

Im considering rooting, have a few questions though:
Which is the easiest guide to follow for an OSX user?
At what stage of the process is bricking most likely?
joe

1. this belongs in the Q&A section
2. Read the rom bible
3. As of now there's only 1 valid root method afaik... look up nbetcher's root method. It's even stickied.
3.5. I don't think you can brick the espresso with normal root method (unless something goes seriously wrong)
4. welcome to xda
EDIT: please do #2. It contains valuable info.

I didnt use nbetcher's method and it worked just fine for me. I went to the unlockr and it worked like a charm. Simple to use and Had a video.
p.s. IT wont let me post the sites so if u want just pm me and Ill message u the site

I've tried the unlockr method with no luck. I kept getting stuck in the boot loop. I guess us osx users are left behind.

Yeah. If your using osx I can't help you. Sold my macbook. But I can try and read on it for you then help you but I don't know how to do that for macs. Try using youtube.

I am not at home at the moment but the steps are the exact same after you get adb installed.

i say if you have a computer,its easier and faster..just let me know what steps you are stuck in..as to download the files ill show you what to download.

Xologist just posted a root for supernoobs in the dev section which basically runs all necessary commands from a batch file with little user intervention, try that.

[Q] Can't write to /system

I'm trying to root my friends mytouch 3g slide and I'm stuck. I've searched the forum for all related issues and have received no answers.
I'm at this step in the rooting process:
5.Issue the following command: adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals. Note: It MUST be in that directory - NO exceptions.
At this step I keep getting failed to copy 'exploid' to '/sqlite_stmt_jurnals' : Read-only file system.
The phone is in charge only and debugging mode is on. Also the cmd is in admin mode. I'm not sure what else I could be doing wrong. Please let me know..the mt4g was not this difficult.

what guide are you following?
by any chance are you on the latest update for it too? the new RUU update that came out

I am on the newest update unfortunately. It's buggy as hell actually in my opinion. That's why my friends wants it rooted and on cyanogen 7.
I'm using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=754020
Is there a better one in your opinion. I never had this issue rooting my G1, Nexus One, or my MT4G.

the newest ruu(froyo) hboot cant be rooted as far as i know you may have to downgrade, then use that guide

There's a thread in the development section that shows u how to root the slide if u upgraded to the new software. I agree it is buggy as hell an nothing worked right.

[Q] G2 Bluetooth not working!

I'm new to this forum so I have to go slow. I just bought this G2 to replace a HD2. It has the stock 2.2.1 Froyo rom. It is unlocked so I'm hoping I can fix it. Everything works ok except the bluetooth. When I try to turn it on the light just go dim then returns to bright and never turns on. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this?
Also I was reading that there is a new rom out, the leaked TMOUS G2 Gingerbread 2.13.531.5 and was looking for instructions on how to flash. I'm looking for some newbie instructions on how to flash.
Any help would be appreciated.

Well it could be your actual rom that might not let the bluetooth work so I think its a great idea to change it
Okay since your phone is unlocked I'm assuming its rooted...so ima post a clip that helped out on how to change roms some time ago just let me search for it

Ok the guy I got my phone said he just unlocked the phone with a code so I'm not sure if it is rooted?? any way to check?

hmmm well if he unlocked with a code then im pretty sure its not rooted, check if you have an app called superuser
if youre not rooted i suggest u to use the gfree method (search the forums) its probably the best

Yes I do have superuser in my apps.

ok ill send you a pm
