[Q] Can't write to /system

[stryke504]

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.
