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.

This Deletes :
Amazonmp3.apk
AppPack2.0.apk
com.htc.StockWidget.apk
(HTC)Stock.apk
This Installs :
NEW Cyan Boot Animation
CarDock.apk
Gallery3d.apk
Teeter.apk
LiveWallpaper Support
LiveWallpapers
HTC Sense LiveWallpaper
Espresso Sense Non Bubble Icon Themes (nest still has bubbles, i need to extract it from smr5r1) (removed for now)
HTC Flashlight.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Music.apk (Eliot Stocker Music Mod 1.6)

No bubbles on icons = not worth it!
yes and all the system stuff that is messed with for apps2d and to get live wallpapers to work ..some people just want a factory engineered ROM

LOL the bubbles are easy to push back man just get them from com.htc.resources.apk from stock rom or older slidemeroot and then put them in the the htc.resources.apk from the CR Rom .. you could just push the entire stock apk but I dont know if something is "tweaked" in there
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
Umm no? Just follow eugenes root thread worked fine for me when I had stock
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
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?....

why would you want amon ra when you do not want root? you need to do the whole root process to use amon ra, even if you later intent to unroot your phone.

you cant flash a custom recovery without rooting, and like the other guy said, a custom recovery would be pointless anyway if you didnt have root access lol
well, I don't want to unlock it coz maybe some feature lost and I'm really not comfotable for rooting...what's in ur mind about my problem guy ??!!!!!

You don't have to unlock the phone to install a custom ROM (assuming you mean SIM lock), but when we talk about rooting here, we really mean two things:
1. The ability to run a custom recovery.
2. The ability to gain superuser access (su to root) in an installed ROM.
Since you want to install a custom recovery, you have to root in order to do so. However, you could still install a stock ROM which didn't have su access (though it would be largely pointless to do so).
As has been previously asked, why do you want to install Amon Ra?

I plan flash 2.3 to my G2, is that meas i will lost all my personal data? but waiting for OTA will not erase the data.
it won't
only if you wipe all your data everything will be lost...
If you flash a new ROM to your phone you may lose all your data but if you use an Over The Air (OTA) update then you will not lose anything. If you are very concerned about losing your data you should always use a program to back up your contacts, emails etc. I would definitely recommend titanium for that or MyBackup Free.

Look in dev thread its posted by football, be warned if you flash it you lose root and no way getting it back...there is no root for current 2.3
Sorry if this question has been asked before, but i could not find any.
So i got the Nexus beast yesterday, and it's already blazing me off with it's greatness. But i got a few problems though:
1. I got the jakjuxw, not the jakju, will i get the same updates as the jakju OTA, but only a week later or so?
2. I did not root the phone before starting using it, but i regret that now. Is there any way i can root it and NOT lose all of my apps and data? I have spent so many hours to customize this device and i dont want to start all over (yes i know about app backup's, but they are slow)
3. If i root but stay with the stock rom, will i still be getting the original OTA updates or does i have to flash the roms manually and wipe the phone every time?
I'd appreciate it if anyone could answer all the questions =)

Not sure about this, it probably depends on what they want to release. I don't think there's any kind of guarantee they'll get the same updates, but there's also probably no reason why they wouldn't.

You need to unlock the bootloader to root, and unlocking the bootloader wipes the device. Sorry. Someday an exploit might be found for ICS that allows you to root without unlocking.

If you keep stock recovery, you'll still get OTA updates when rooted. If you use custom recovery like ClockworkMod, you'll have to do them manually (but you won't need to wipe). In both cases, applying the update will probably cause you to lose root and you'll have to re-root. This is easy if you've unlocked the bootloader.
If you root by using some future exploit, you might find that the update you just installed removed root and closed the hole that allowed you to gain it without unlocking the bootloader, and now you're left stuck without root. I'd say just unlock the bootloader now and be done with it. It'll be a pain, but then you don't need to worry about it again.

Just unlocked it and rooted it, but i think im gonna install the official google 4.0.2 rom, i wil get the OTA updates then too right?
edit: how am i able to flash a rom without CWM? Also do i really not need to wipe my phone if i use CWM? i had to do it on my Desire.

Yes, but the updates will probably unroot you. You should be able to just re-root after. If using CWM you can probably flash superuser right after flashing the update and not lose root at all. This is what I always did with my Nexus One when I still had the rooted stock ROM.

If the ROM comes as images (like the Google factory images) you can flash with fastboot. The Google ones come with a script that uses fastboot to do it for you.
Also do i really not need to wipe my phone if i use CWM? i had to do it on my Desire.

I meant installing updates here... you don't usually need to wipe if you are installing updates to your current ROM, such as OTA updates to the stock ROM. You need to wipe if you're changing ROMs. It's probably no different than your Desire.
Hi Experts,
i had rooted my phone a while back and installed custom recovery , and was on stock ROM.
Due to issues on official emails, i had to unroot my phone and relock it.
All is fine, however i did miss 1 step, that is, i still have a diff recovery on it, and i want to install my stock recovery back so that i can install OTA.
I do have the stock recovery (i think).
So is theree a quick way to do that without unlocking the bootloader again or without losing any data?
Let me know PLEASE!
Regards
Manas

as i can remember even if your bootloader is unlocked as long as you have stock recovery you can update.. just make sure you have a backup of all your data.
Phew.. So my booloader is RE LOCKED now, and i just want to install the stock recovery... without losing data or unlocking the bootloader........possible???

No.
To flash recovery, your bootloader must be unlocked. Do you still have unlock.bin file?

As far as I remember you will lose data. Make a backup (Titanium, or similar app) of important data, unlock the bootloader, flash stock recovery, reboot, restore data.
And keep the bootloader unlocked!
damn!! if i keep my bootloader unlocked, i keep getting an error from an anitvirus kinda tool tht i had to install so that i receive my office emails. thanks for your help, will do this when i have a lot of time..
