Rooting a mytouch without usb connection

---

Hey guys, so ive been trying to root my mytouch 3g slide, however there is something wrong with my micro usb port, it accepts a charge however it does not accept data no matter what cable or computer i hook it up with.


How would i go about rooting this thing without adb?


i tried to figure it out myself, however i couldnt find the sql_lite_stmt folder or whatever with a file manager app and the main method lists exploid MUST be executed from that folder.





What do you guys think i should do?

Thanks for the help.

Download super one click on your computer and run it. Plug in your phone, set it to charge only and hit "shell root". Download mt3s rooter and run it AFTER the shell root is over. Close super one click. It will then tell you the rest of the directions.

The only problem with doing that is my phones USB is broken and doesnt transfer data. I need to copy the jailbreak files to the phone then execute them via terminal or file manager or something.

You're going to have to manually download and push the exploid through terminal on your phone. you also need to dl the epimg, cm mod and rename cm mod to update.zip and put gapps on a seperate sd card and rename that to update.zip aswel

Thank you!

does exploid need to be executed from a specific folder?

"Issue the following command: adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals. Note: It MUST be in that directory - NO exceptions."

on my mytouch the folder sqlite_stmt_journals is either non existent or invisible to terminal and file managers.

will push still work if i cant see the folder?
Must exploid be executed from /sqlite_stmt_journals?

No you just have to push it to that folder, then you should be able to run it. Is your mt3gs under warranty?

so even though i cant see the folder i can still push to it?

No its way out of warranty, im not the original owner and i had to take it apart to replace the digitizer.

i just cant stand the stock rom anymore

EDIT: i tried to push exploid via terminal but it says
"Push: permission denied"

cp was also denied.



:/ im at a loss, i wish my magical techno fairy godmother would push me in the right direction

ouch man, i dont know what else you can do, umm did you try jiggling your cable around to get some kind of connection?

yeah =[ as well as other micro usb cables and different computers.


there must be a way to execute the exploit within the phone rather than over adb, i just wish i could figure it out

ok i thought of another way of you doing this,

get a usb micro sd reader, copy all your stuff over then format the microsd to fat32, get the esp3img and throw it on there,

then follow the steps to install cm7.

the oneclick temp root program that g2s use(i think its called zeus?!? I cant remember what i used on my wifes g2) might help you get the exploid to work w/o usb. If your still stuck after you should pm the dev for help, im not super familiar with the espresso and Im having trouble gaining access to r/w on the system

i think i need to instal ubuntu and get s-off
