easier way to root the mytouch slide

---

YOU MUST HAVE ADB FOR THE MYTOUCH SLIDE SET UP BEFORE DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS DONT DO THIS!!!!! IF YOUR PHONE BRAKES NOT OUR PROBLEMS!!!!!

Download this package http://outboundlink.us/anxo/dr_ta_1/...lide_Root.html

1. Unzip that file to the tools folder in your android sdk
2. In cmd cd into the tools folder of your android sdk
• CD\
• Cd androidsdk\tools
3. Boot into recovery (volume down and power, then select recovery)
4. Get the options on the screen in recovery (volume up and power)
5. run the update.zip it will fail
6. now in cmd type adb reboot recovery (don’t press enter)
7. in the recovery hit reboot system now( once it starts rebooting run that command rapidly untill back into recovery)
8. type adb devices(if it says nothing repeat the steps, if it says offline unplug it and then plug it back in, if it says recovery your fine)
9. once you get it to say your device and recovery do these commands
• adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (press enter)
• adb push slideroot.zip /sdcard (press enter)
10. type this comandin cmd adb push update.zip /sdcard (don’t press enter)
11. on the recovery menu hit apply update.zip and when you do that wait half a second and hit enter in cmd (if that dosent work try the loop way bye typing loop in to cmd wile booting into recovery and the crtl+c to end it when you see offline)(my way works better and mor of the times)
12. now you should be in the new recovery image if not start over
13. co to the partitions menu and hit mount /system
14. then go back and go to install any zip, chose zip from sdcard, and then select slideroot.zip
15. reboot

Thanks to eugene for the initial how-to
Thanks to chiefzreloaded
Thanks kingofyo1 for helping people with me

For the love of GOD I hope this works... I've been wondering why another way hasn't been found yet... trying this in a few minutes.

Are the files in step 1 the same from the original root thread? Should clarify that so people dont download it twice and confuse themselves. And just to be clear, we only need to push the two zips to the sd card...? F*ck it, gonna try it.

Uh, this method isn't going to work on a stock phone. The signature on the update.zip that contains the clockwork recovery will fail. The only reason choosing the update is working for you(jp) is because you've already flashed to the Engineering ROM.

The whole reason eugene's method works is because the phone reads the correct signature the ota.zip and then we push the update.zip with clockwork recovery RIGHT before it starts the update. Following your guide completely skips that part. So, again, won't work on stock.

Sorry, fermonkey. Hope you can get it.

Couldn't even waste time to try it on a stock phone...

Thanks for all the help and documentation on this guys!!

this doesnt work...
the update.zip fails

I was hoping somebody resigned it

yeah well the instructions if you go by them will overwrite the update.zip anyways. but eitherway itdoesnt work.. maybe more clarification is needed?
