Uuuuhhh. What's wrong with the step by step guide that Hebrewtoyou already made?
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
Its sort of confusing compared to other step by step guides. Hebrews guide is not Noob friendly. There are so many guides out there that are easy to understand and are Noob friendly but when it came to one of the most important things that the slide needs, it turns out to be more complicated than it should be. As far as I'm concerned the guide is hard for me to understand but I can't claim to say that for everyone. I was just hoping if someone would help by making a video or a more Noob friendly step by step guide. Then I would be really greatful and thank you for replying.

I just went and re-read the guide. I'm not sure that there's anything in there that can be simplified more than it already is.
Partitioning the memory on the device is potentially dangerous if done incorrectly and I think, if that guide seems confusing, you should probably just not attempt to do custom partitions.
I mean no offense.

The thing I don't know how to do is s off. Not only that, I also want to know if you could use terminal emulator instead of adb.

I just wanted to say great first post...hopefully someone will find the way to root YOUR phone because according to the 100 or so other threads, if you would have SEARCHED FIRST nobody else has been able to get it but I have faith you might be the one. So please when you get the way to root will you please share it with the rest of us! But you might wanna check the first thread at the top of the Q and A forum I think the info u need is there. So when you figure root out please report back how you did it! Oh thanks again for one of the best first posts we have seen...
P.S. HOW FA KING HARD IS IT TO SEARCH BEFORE YOU FA KING POST!

This is about as easy as it can get, thought it really isn't the recommended method anymore. If that's still too hard for you, then you need to slow it down and start reading.

Please note that any means other than the wiki have resulted in many, many bricks; as long as you follow the wiki guide perfectly, double check your typing, etc. you'll be fine.

Easiest and reliable are not the same thing. The Wiki method is most reliable.

Can you say pretensious? C'mon dude really? You can jailbreak a PS3...that's not an iphone
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA Premium App
The method posted by OriginalGabriel is the way to go. Trust me. I did it and was smooth as butter. I'm not sure why it has such a bad rep since I have heard of NO bricks from the easy root method. I think people see "Visionary" and get scared. It's perfectly safe for temprooting but a VERY bad idea for perm-root. The Gfree method is used for that... all you will be doing is running the scripts for Gfree instead of keying them in manually. No ADB, no hassle, much less room for error. Once you are rooted, get rid of Visionary and enjoy.

Naw, I agree with Pirateghost. Jargon exists for a reason. If one does not use the proper terminology, its hard to know what they are talking about. For instance, sometimes people ask "How do I unlock my phone?". Its impossible to know whether they are asking how to root, or how to unlock the SIM.

This +100
People coming over from the iPhone world may not know what all is going on here, so it is important to not confuse terminology. exactly like redpoint73 said, how do we know if they mean UNLOCK or ROOT or ROM?? do you know? if you do, then by all means help the guy out, i would prefer to not get the terminology muddled with inconsistencies.

Some people have painted the anti-toolkit crowd as elitist lately. Honestly, the logic on not using toolkits isn't as elitist as they think. It's easier for the user to get support if something goes wrong, and it's easier for the person giving support to help. If a request-for-help post says "I ran these steps and when I ran this command, I got an error" it's much easier to help than if it says "I chose option <x> in toolkit <y> and now my phone doesn't work". The user is also then at least aware of how adb/fastboot work, which is good because they'll likely be how anyone responding will have them fix their phone.
On top of that, unlocking the bootloader and flashing a recovery are extremely simple on this phone.
Good that's why I got this one very excited !

Guy on YT roots in a few minutes - just doesn't show clear screen shots. You guys talk about this or that mod - I get lost in stocks, cm's, and kernels. What's a noob to do? Are there various 'roots' or just one basic? Any kits to apply? And then what - after it's rooted? What about the counter - why's that a big deal? Too many questions? Not the right ones? Help!

Just viewed cursed4eva's root video - is it REALLY that easy? I loaded superuser, titanium backup, mobile Odin, ES fe/tm, ROM tbp - and kept em up - when I got this phone. I figured it would be helpful 'just in case' and now I'm down to like 3g outta 12g after only 104 days from activation. I've reached my 'jic' point.
Sooo... Gonna do it tomorrow morning (omg - it's like I'm 6 the NBC...)

Is pretty helpful, I've been reading up on all the stickies as much as I could and hopefully I will be brave enough to tackle all this soon. Good luck!
EDIT: I was looking at the cursed4eva suggested by the other member on this thread and I believe the rooting methods on there is for the I9300 not the SGH-747M model. Maybe someone with more experience can confirm this?
Just down load the root tool kit in the stickies. Walks you through step by step and the file you download contains everything you need in order to root

Download the root kit from stickies like said above. That's what I used. Simple. Actually thought it was easier then rooting my note. Def easier then when I rooted my inspire or LG nitro or all the iPhone jailbreaks
