[Q] Root apk for Mytouch Slide. Please??? :( - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i really been trying to root my mytouch slide for the past 2 weeks. I haven't had any success, just been having all kinds of Errors. I'ved tried every rooting method out there for this device. Even the "ULTRA EASY ROOTER" method failed me. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers and attempted to root the phone in 4 different computers and 3 different operating systems. I just don't get it. I know as of right now (5/10/2011) there isn't any root apk for the slide and its probably a little too much to ask for. But can someone please release a apk that can root the mytouch slide the latests ota? It'll really help and make people like me happy. Thanks in advanced.

If you have the latest OTA you are kind of screwed. It was posted many times not to update if you want to keep root. As of now, there is 1 and only 1 way to get root with the official OTA.

And how is that?

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.

ok i want to root my evo but it has software version 3.29.651.5 and all the root guides are for otheer versions i really want to get rid of sense from my phone hopefully someone can help ive already tried three different methods to root it all have failed if someone can just point me in the right direction it would be appreciated
if you have tried 3 different ways to root & were unsuccessful, perhaps telling us what versions you've tried might get you some more help. i personally think unrevoked3 would do the trick.

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] Replacement Phone Root?

I can't root my replacement slide that I got today. I don't know if it's my software build but I've tired RootMeNow and MT3srooter which worked for me in the past. HELP PLEASE ANYONE!
Software # 2.15.531.3
Plenty of threads regarding different methods of getting it done. When i got my replacement a few months ago I had to try a few different ways than I had done originally. The No PC method is the one that did the trick.
No PC Method
I don't think that the software version, looks like the kernel version. You need to post the Android version, 2.1, 2.2 etc.
The No PC version does not work at least not for me it gets stuck at the AndRoot install and fails each time. Is it because my replacement is 2.2.1? Really want to root this phone!
First u have to A. Do the goldcard method...or be goto the general section of the slid form and. There will be titile new root method which is stard by me and thatw will give u root in 5 min. Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108316
Hey go to the general forum on this phone and go to a post called "how to get the most out of your slide (root)" and at the bottom of the post there is a link to the only workin root method on the slide from what I tried hope this helps
