Hi Im a noob. I have searched the net for days looking for an easy way to root my mytouch 3g slide. I havent found any updated one that works or that has complete instructions. I understand since i have 2.2.1 that creates a problem. I either cant seem to make a goldcard that works, links are invalid, sdk or adb is not functioning properly. Can anyone help with detailed instructions and links that work to root this aging phone?
Windows 7 ultimate if that helps.

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.

First off thanks for your response,
Im assuming that this guide works with the latest OTA.. btw can you contact me on gtalk? [email protected] (for quick response support) i just wanna make sure my wife gets her phone back asap. That way if i hit any walls i can get over them quickly and efficiently..
thanks again..
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.

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?

Thank you
Thank you so much !!!!!
I now have root
Glad I could help, welcome to the root community.
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

I have a new g2 with gingerbread stock and i wand to root it.
I found that visionsary doesnt work and i need to install ADB to use the other ways to root.
I cant seem to figure out how to get my --G2-- to link up with my computer.
I tried all the links for the "HTC sync" for it but they are for the UK desire z and do not work.
If i search HTC's website there are no drivers or htc sync for the G2
This is why i used visionary to root my old one. The sdk is always buggy for me ive tried it on a few different computers and never had luck.
The only time it worked was with the cliq like 4 years ago.
------------------------------------------------------------------
-Does anybody have a way to do it?
____________________________________________________
i tried about 5 different write ups from the how-to section.
Even the installing for noobs with the auto install package.
any help would be nice. I have to fight my phone for everything with this spyware stock rom on my phone.
Did you try the wiki?
yes i did.
I found a link for a driver that worked.
Someone should add it to the wiki.
http://g2hacks.com/g2-drivers/g2-phone-windows-drivers-download/
fairly smooth once i figured that out. Usually i cant even get sdk to install on my computers.
Just my really old computer (which has been taken out and shot since) that i used with the cliq. i think cyanogen was just starting back then.
