Root Need help with Mt3gs rooting...

[jjohnson1485]

ok, so i have been attempting to root my 3G slide with android SDK and ADB services, following the directions to the "T" off of the following website -

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_myTouch_Slide:_Full_Update_Guide

Now, on step 8, it tells you to open your "terminal" aka cmd through windows. it then tells you 7 different lines of code to enter. i have attempted entering these lines, and have no troubles until i reach line 5 - cd /sqlite_stmt_journals. it then tells me that cd /sqlite_stmt_journals: not found.

why am i seeing this message? i have followed the directives exactly up to this point, and dont understand why it's not working.

i have provided an attatched screenshot of the cmd messages side by side with the instructions as well as the link provided in this post.


PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this method

How To: Root the HTC MyTouch Slide (Exploid Method) (Updated 01.26.11) | TheUnlockr

And A little tip before you download any of the needed files move everything from your SD card to a new folder on your computer then format the SD card THEN download all the files needed.

 

[jjohnson1485]

You need to put a space after cd. You have it like this:
cd/sqlite_stmt...

Should be:
cd /sqlite_stmt...

Also after the files are pushed you can do the rest via terminal so no need for pc. Makes toggling the wifi easier imo.

Yeah, the missing space is the problem. cd is a change directory command and the /sqlite_stmt... is the directory you are changing to.

behold_this: What do you mean by "you can do the rest via terminal so no need for pc. Makes toggling the wifi easier imo."?

 

[behold_this]

sorry...terminal emulator, but now that i think more about it, they should just follow the tutorials and use adb. so, disregard

 

[jjohnson1485]

ok, made it past the cd /sqlite_stmt_journals code line. however the next line chmod 0755 exploid gives me the response unable to chmod exploid: No such file or directory...any ideas for this issue??

 

[behold_this]

You didn't push exploid properly (possibly another typing error), but that's what it is telling you, that exploid is not in that directory.

 

[jjohnson1485]

exploid wasnt in the files that i had to transfer...where should i be able to locate it?

if i root my phone this way, will i be able to use the cyanogen mod still??

 

[jimczyz]

yes, i do. I've rooted 4 slides this way and they all run on C7 right now.

 

[RazoE]

I used the UnlockR method, and am currently running CM7 on mine, so either works fine..

 

[skinsfan05]

I got tired of waiting for T-Mobile to update this phone so I rooted it with the Ultra Easy Rooter with no problem.

 

[jimczyz]

Really easy isn't it?
