[Q] myTouch Slide rooting problem

my computer wont detect my myTouch Slide when im trying to root it. It wont show the "device is offline" after i put it in recovery mode after i typed in loop. Does anyone know why thats happening

Type in loop? Not sure why do that, but to mount your phone with adb for rooting you should stay off with the command 'adb devices'

I think he's talking about running the loop.bat file. It loops the 'adb devices' command. You might remember it from the original root method written by Eugene.
For the question: Did you 'cd' to the sdk tools directory? If you want to know about that look in the "slide rom bible" (search xda for it) and find the original slide rooting method written by Eugene. Read it, watch the vids, and you'll learn all this stuff. You can't use his method now since your slide has the tmobile update.

yeah i was doing it watching the video too and yeah i cded by doing CD C:\android-sdk-windows\tools and like i did loop then went into the fastboot thing and did recovery and instead of saying offline devices it just saud "List of Devices Attatched" and under it its supposed to say offline device cuz i saw it from the video but its just a blank spot

The loop method NO LONGER WORKS AFTER THE LATEST SOFTWARE UPDATE. If you got your slide after August 13, you have the new software update. The ONLY working method with the software update is nbetcher's.

Need Xoom WiFi boot.img

Looks like the boot.img on the WiFi only model is slightly different. Flashed the rooted boot.img file and now I'm stuck at the Dual Core technology screen. Anyone have this available. All help greatly appreciated!
UPDATE
See thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12432218

Can someone post the stock xoom wifi dump of the boot.img, recovery.img, system.img, and userdata.img in case something happens?
Apparently it looks like its slightly different than the wifi+3g version. Also is the overclocked kernel file working posted by coolbho3000?

i need the answer too... i m comfused.

Alright I have a stock Xoom tablet now Just gotta figure out how to pull the boot.img file off. Any ideas and I'll do it ASAP.

No clue mate. From my knowledge you have to be rooted, or have the SDK on your pc. I think. Neither which are available as of now

So is the wifi only version able to be rooted as of now?

currently, yes. We need a new root method. Well I would not say a new "method" but their need to be some modifications done to the original rootboot img file. Shouldnt be hard for devs

Issue 1: Don't currently have root
Issue 2: No SD card access
But I did try it and got an access denied.

Think for the Xoom it would be from a windows command prompt:
adb shell cat /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot > c:\boot.img
I could be wrong but try it and see.

It's actually a Permission issue.
/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/boot: Permission denied

So someone with root needs to run it. Anyone wanna help out? Im not getting mine till tomorrow but by then I suppose you would have yours exchanged

That's actually the catch-22... can't get root because we don't have the right boot.img file. I think it's going to boil down to Motorola releasing a stock one.
If anyone is up for IRC chat - hop onto Freenode and room #Xoom

I can try if someone tells me what needs to be done. I tried copying it over to another folder in root explorer but no luck.

Update: Ran through the fastboot oem unlock in hopes that it would resolve the Permission Denied. It did not.

You'll end up with a (soft)brick

No luck
I also booted into fast boot, tried and still got no permission sometimes and no such directory some times... If some one will walk me through getting the img file I will gladly do so

how can I remove the softbrick, I saw this AFTER I tried to root and now I cannot even turn it off, just sitting on the Motorola Dual Core Technology screen.

ok I also now need to the stock boot.img from a wifi xoom. Can anyone help? I can flash it if someone can provide it please, if not I guess I will go exchange my xoom in the morning.

anyone started to root the device?

has anyone started to root this device?

Whaha really Genius!
But rooting can't be far away now..... Because I don't think the Durex is sold out in the super market. I actually think they have a special offer...

It's precisely because of the lack of root access that I've held of unlocking my bootloader; I don't see any point of having to erase all my data and setting up my device when there's no pay-off in the form of root and custom ROMs

Yeah well you never know if SE change their minds and cancel the unlocking website
Better get your gift before Santa takes it back
I will try to convince Marc from MIUI to think about the Arc...

I don't think SE will change it's mind, but the longer you wait, the more adjustments you make on your device (well at least I do..). So that's why I unlocked the bootloader as soon as I had my Arc. Even though I had allready played with it. But what the h*ll, now I had to play a bit longer with it. I don't see the problem

They wont change their mind but the downside of unlocking is that you cannot update using SEUS
Hopefully SE will change that if you use stock firmware but have the bootloader unlocked

I don't see where that's a problem : if you unlock your bootloader, it's because you want to flash custom roms, isn't it ?
Who care about stock update when we get better functionnalities and often faster updates with all the leaks with custom roms ?

I need somebody to carry out the following steps on their bootloader unlocked device
1. Enable USB Debugging
2. Run adb and enter the following commands (line-by-line)
Code:
adb shell
su
What is the response?

We definitely need a custom Boot image flashed then!

different image version

I sent my tablet off to get repaired after it was bricked. My new version is different when it boots than it used to be. the new build version number on my tablet is " Acer_AV041_A100_1.015.00_PA_CUS1 " and it is on kernel 2.6.39.4+. is this what others have? When i boot it now comes up with 2 acer logos one in the upper right and left. than changes to the normal center acer then android .

This is exactly what I've been waiting to see. If you can get adb up can you paste the output of adb shell cat /proc/cmdline ? The boot loader change may hint at Acer doing some work on the cause of the brick.

Probably do accessing that file to output. You could try adb root then try again but it'll probably deny that too. If you don't want to root that's cool I'll wait to see if I can pay for mine to get fixed then do it when I get it back.

i rooted and unlocked it is still says access is denied. i am willing to try something else.

try:
Code:
adb kill-server; adb root; adb wait-for-device; adb shell cat /proc/cmdline
If you are rooted and adb starts as root you shouldn't get permission denied. If you still do get permission denied give output of :
Code:
adb shell ls -l /proc
This will be quiet large, but we really only need to know the specific line like this:
-r--r----- root radio 0 2012-08-12 02:44 cmdline
And make sure that you aren't getting any messages like "Root isn't available in Production builds"
Thanks.

i got unknown option '-1' aborting. I will have to pick this up tomorrow afternoon.

Copy your SDK platform tools to the desktop and try again. From there.

have you seen it start out with 2 acer logos when you are not rooted or unlocked? That was the first thing i noticed that was different.
I did the comand i got a ton of lines saying root and the one line you asked about is the same except for a different time.

MSL Code

I'm trying to find my msl number for my phone.. I have tried connectbot and terminal e and cant see to get it to find anything.. When I type in the getprop ril.MSL and hit enter it just goes to another command line.. So I typed in getprop and scrolled down to the ril. section and ther is no ril.mls listed.. So how do I get the msl for my Sprint version of the Galaxy s3

Goto dialer ##3282# enter any 6 numbers then open terminal and do the getprop.

When I tried to get mine, none of that worked. I ended up just calling Tech support, and telling them I was having trouble with my phone signal. The helped me with how to update my prl. I told them, I had done it before and If it didnt work this time, I did not want to have to call back and wait for hours on tech support. I had heard there is a code I can use to reset my phone and make it like it was before I started, Could the save me the call back and hours on the phone, but just giving me the number now?
They helped me out with the MSL code. For some reason no other way worked.

Sorry my bad that only works on a TW ROM. You could always flash a new ROM and grab your MSL.

Called sprint ,told them I bought it, paid full price and wanted my msl code. They gave it to me no problem

What worked for me GS3 and GN2 Sprint
I started fresh using a reboot on both devices. I went to dialer and hit ##3282#. I then went to edit mode and entered an incorrect MSL code as instructed above. I used 123456 for both devices. Enter the incorrect code only once, as I accidentally did it twice on my Note 2 and it caused it to reboot. I then opened Terminal Emulator and typed the above getprop ril.MSL and it displayed my MSL for both devices. I wasn't having any luck with GetMyMSL or ConnectBot. Terminal Emulator didn't work for me at first on my GS3 until i did the above steps. Hope this helps someone.
Mike
PS -- I'm stock rooted JellyBean for both devices
