Rooting Slide but keep the stock rom?? How to?

Team-
I have a question
How can I root the Slide to get root permissions with superuser icon without having to flash a custom ROM. I Like the Stock ROM and want to keep it, all I want is to get Root permissions to be able to do wifi teher....is this possible and if yes....how?
I have tried searching the WIKI's but all of them say something different & i dont want to brick my phone....any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, it is possible. You'll want to root your phone, downgrade to the engineering build, and then flash ChiefzReloaded's Stock+OTA rom.

yes it's possible. it's called stock rooted. just follow the root tutorial. you will be rooted. no need to flash the eng build as you're not trying to flash a custom rom.
or what he said ^^^ ... lol

Noob question: Other than CR's ROM having the OTA, what other difference is there between stock rooted and the ROM?
Does tethering, apps2sd (ext) and such work on rooted stock?

you guys do realize that chiefzreloaded stock+ota rom, however close to being stock, is not the oem rom. That rom has tweaks.
To get the oem rom follow the directions to root you will end up with the completely 100% oem ROM (if you follow the original root guide) that you can install some root apps (like wifi tether). NOW if you want to flash the eng rom to have the release keys and ease of going into clockwork, then you want to go back into clockwork and make a nandroid. This way after flashing the eng you can restore the nandroid and still have all the benefits of eng release but have your fully stock rom. Also with that nandroid you always have your stock rom as a backup you can go back to w/o loosing root.

i ran stock rooted for a while before flashing another rom. my first was eugene's slidemeroot5r1. the reason i switched was apps2sd-ext, starting getting the low on space warning (annoying). after fooling around w/ some other roms & making nandroids of each, i am now on the ota rom.
tethering, if i'm not mistaken, should work on stock rooted. it's been a while so i truly can't recall. but you will need to download the program. ..you will not have the option of apps2sd. however, with some of these scripts floating around (firerat & darktremor) it may be possible. don't quote me on that.

that was the ONLY thing i forgot to do. smh. it was on my list and everything. when i was in the process of flashing the eng build, i couldn't for the life of me figure out to get back to clockwork. i was stuck on the red triangle lol. didn't find out till after i flashed another rom that i had to do vol up + power. ..my biggest regret.

all you have to do is root it, downgrade to the Eng-release, and just jump into the recovery mode. after that reboot your phone and you should have the superuser icon

Okay so I'm getting a lot of great feedback....I have the latest OTA on my stock rom which I believe closes the loop for rooting....I read that if you have the new ota you have to install a custom rom for complete root access?? Is that correct?....

Uninstall your old rom manager because it doesnt support g2, download the new one, flash clockwork mod-select g2 as your device- wait for it to download and flash he recovery. Btw i would suggest you click fix permissions first before doing any of that

just like others said, make sure you have the latest rom manager (i believe its v2.5.0.7). are you seeing a "G2" option when you click flash clockwork recovery?

clockwork mod for noob
I finaly decide to root my G2( and S-Off ). So I use CyanogenWiki procedure without section about Flashing the Engineering HBoot with is denger and optional.Next I was uninstall no need stock soft (mp3 amazon finance or listen).Today I try to backup everything with clockwork mod.
1. Is the procedure with ROM Manager safe?
2.Do i need to do something else after geting perma root and s-off to install clockwork mod ? (still don't know what for is Engineering HBoot)
3. After instaling clockwork mod or after rooting I will stop geting official updates ?
4. Do i have to buy a prem version of ROM Manager or free market version will do the job ?
5. How to flash clockwork v3 and is there reason to do that ?

Lots of q's
Ok
1.Clockwork mod is very safe
2.No. If you have Perma-rooted your phone you are good to go
3.After installing it you can receive OTA updates if you are using STOCK rom
but its best to not update via OTA at risk of losing root. I was already had
temp root when we got the OTA in US and I had no problem but be warned
4.The free version is fine. But its always good to buy the paid version for added benefits and to help dev out

Sometimes it takes a couple of times before recovery sticks, so if you get the red triangle just reflash the recovery again untill it sticks.

Eng. Hboot is not required to flash a custom rom, but obviously perm-root is. Im guessing you got that quote "Perm Root with hboot-eng.....is needed to flash a custom ROM (still REQUIRED for the moment)" from the CM7 Nightly thread, but there is a way to flash CWM3 without an ENG. Hboot ( it requires terminal emulator) and also the CM7 nightly rom.

Any idea how to install CM7 from stock less risky way then hboot ? How about flashing CM 6 and upgrading to 7 ?

[Q] Removing CM7 (and other ROMs)

Hey every. Sorry if this question is already answered and it is a repost. How can i uninstall Cyanogenmod 7 RC2 from my Incredible, but still keep it rooted? Would the same way work for other ROMs as well, or does each ROM have a different way to remove them? Thank you in advance for your help.

If you made a backup then you can easily restore.
If you didn't, then you can flash the stock incredible ROM.
You will continue to stay rooted unless you take additional steps to unroot your phone.
Also I think you may have a misconception of how the ROM's work. These aren't installed on top of your phone, they remove the old one and replace it with whatever ROM you flash. Of course as long as you made a backup before you flashed then how your phone was before the flash will be right there if you ever choose to restore.

I did backup before I installed the Cyanogenmod 7. How do i 'recover'? Also, if i were to flash, would this take me back to being unrooted?

The way I understood it you can use ROM manager to load the Nandroid you created before flashing CM7, bringing back all your settings/text/calls etc you had before flashing your new rom. I've yet to attempt to go back to stock so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You'll keep root unless to take the steps to go from s-off to s-on, and flash the stock RUU. Restoring a nandroid will restore the backup to the exact point the backup was made, so make regular backups!

Searched and cannot find themost current stock incredible ROM, any help?

Haven't flashed it yet, but this is the first of many that link actually was live. Thank you.

Ok. So i havent done anything because I am extremely busy, but now i have some time to get this done. As it is, I'm going to have to unroot my phone, putting it back to stock. How do i do this so that the s-off goes to s-on, and make sure everything is done properly? Thx for all your help

pretty sure you just flash the stock ruu and then run the unrevoked s-on tool.
i would run a factory reset before running the ruu and then again after just to make sure you are totally bone stock.

Should I use Rom manager to flash or use something else? Sorry for all the questions, just want to do this without problems.

If you made a backup power off the phone and reboot it into recovery. Go to the "Back Up and Restore" Tab and then restore. Choose the date and you are back.

[ROM][2011-08-04]Vision Gingerbread 2.15.231.3 Rooted

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL
This is a rooted, de-odexed, busybox, nano, ad-blocking hosts file, uncensored DNS resolv.conf but otherwise completely stock version of the 2.15.531.3 OTA for the T-Mobile G-2. This is not an update. It is a complete ROM.
I built this for my own use but anyone can take it and customize it as they see fit. I am a "Privacy and Security by Default" minded person so I have built it with a few alterations along those lines.
The ad blocking hosts file is to block known adware/malware from first boot. Updates to the hosts file as new threats are learned can be done by installing AdFree from Market or manually updating the hosts file yourself. I am not affiliated with the creators of AdFree in anyway. You can install it or not if you want or manually update your hosts file manually or not if you want.
The uncensored DNS resolv.conf I have included is because many ISP's and networks censor the Internet by controlling what you get directed to through DNS that is not what the official DNS record would require. They also hijack bad requests and typos through DNS redirects to their own search and ad pages. Google logs all DNS queries and what IP address it came from if you use the "open" Google DNS servers. I have included alternate secure and uncensored DNS settings as that is what I use myself.
I have now included a link to download a version of this ROM without those two customizations. I have not tested it myself but it should work fine for you if you choose to install it.
I used dsixda's kitchen to do the modifications and without that, I would probably not have done this at all. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
You will need to be rooted with S-OFF, Clockworkmod Recovery and engineering hboot to install this.
See this wiki guide for all information on rooting and downgrading the G2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision
See this thread for general information on the G2 also: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=916431
THIS ROM IS SET TO WIPE THE SYSTEM BEFORE INSTALLING. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP OF ANYTHING IMPORTANT BEFORE INSTALLING THIS! The reason for this is that I can see potentially major problems if it is installed like an update. THIS IS FOR CLEAN INSTALLS ONLY.
You will need to install the radio that came with this OTA manually before installing this ROM. The radio version to install is 12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3.
Download the radio here: http://www.mediafire.com/file/51rr1vff4wamedg/TMOUS_G2_12.52.60.25U_26.08.04.30_M3_radio.img
Rename the file to radio.img and install it from fastboot. You need the Android SDK tools and platform tools installed on your computer and the engineering hboot installed on your G2 to do this. Shutdown the phone completely. Then hold the trackpad button while powering the phone back on. Connect the phone with the USB cable. Open a command prompt and change to the directory where the radio.img file is. Issue the following command:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Wait for the radio to update completely and successfully and then disconnect the USB cable. Select "REBOOT BOOTLOADER" and verify from the fastboot screen afterwards that the radio is installed. Then select "BOOTLOADER" and from the bootloader select "RECOVERY" to proceed to install the ROM.
INSTALL THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am not responsible for what you do with this and there is no implied warranties and guarantees.
I recommend a full wipe/factory reset from within recovery before installing this just to be safe. ***This does not revert you to S-ON or un-root the G2.***
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE BACKUPS OF ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING BEFORE INSTALLING THIS.
I do not plan to do any customizations of this but I will try to answer any questions that may come up.
***Update: I may post a version without the uncensored DNS setting and ad blocking hosts file as it is a simple tweak and there seems to be a calling for it. Stay tuned...***
***Update: There is now a link to download a version without the ad blocking hosts file and the uncensored DNS resolv.conf.***

Hey, can you tell us how you temp-rooted? That is actually all I'm interested in; I've been running Visionary on 2.2 to temp-root on boot, and that serves my purposes. I'd just like to be able to keep doing the same thing, although I realize Visionary won't work, but would you be able to put together a Visionary-like app that does give us temp-root on the new 2.3.4?
Thanks again!

In the DZ/G2 wiki are instructions for downgrading the 2.3.x factory installs using fre3vo to gain temp-root. As far as I know, there isn't any way to gain permanent root on an installed 2.3.x system.

To make this a "turn-key" pure vanilla stock GB rom, can you include the radio that seems to be missing, take away AdFree, and that other thing with config file you mentioned (forgive my noobness) and make a "white-wall" clean stock rom that can be flashed using CWM?
I want to experience this "stock" for myself, but i'm from CM7 and don't have any experience with flashing radios, and this config, AdFree files.. I would like to simply download, do a nan-backup (of my old CM7 rom), then flash without having to worry about any of the other stuff.

Any alternate kernel can potentially break things as they aren't what the system is compiled to work with originally. HTC hasn't released the kernel source for this version yet to my knowledge so alternates that would be the most compatible won't be available until they do.

I just flashed this rom through clockwork without wiping anythingfirst. It does install as a clean rom just like a new phone. Is rooted, Very nice. Ididnt install the radio suggested as the one i hadinstalled was a newer one than listed.

No worries, Since you're worried regarding your root access. All Roms that you see here are custom ROMs and comes with Prerooted so don't afraid of flashing it.
Just to be safe side, Install latest recovery either CWM or 4ext and backup your Stock or any custom ROM you're on.
Flash Any ROM made for Desire HD. But be aware that if you're S-ON then flash Boot.IMG before or after complete flashing your ROM via HBoot in order to get proper connectivity and your ROM to work properly. If you're S-Off already then no need to flash boot.img since system will take care of it.
Even then you're worried regarding how to flash then type in YouTube for How to flash custom Ron for Desire HD. So that you'll get exact idea about it.
Very important: Make sure your radio and hboot is latest. Or you should running last official update from HTC which is gingerbread 2.3.5 Otherwise you need to upgrade that first prior to flash any custom ROM from any source.
Get on 4.4.3 its latest yet stable.

thank you dr.patron99 am following your instructions and reporting a brief of what ive done so i can get your guidance on how to continue
step 1: made full backup of my phone
step 2: Ive updated my rom manager to v5.5.3.7 and flashed latest recovery available which is clockworkmod 5.0.2.0
step 3: ive run full rom backup once more just to be on safe side (through rom manager) and checked if backup has been created then i transferred backup to my pc and to a thumb drive.
step 4: ive checked to see my S-condition and am on S-OFF so i guess i wont need to flash Boot.IMG right?
step 5: am not sure how to check which one is it or even upgrade radio and hboot to its latest, does country/network operator plays a role here? if yes i live in CY (cyprus) which is a European country and am under 2 network operators CYTA and MTN.
