Root What's the latest root method for this phone?

[bigx5murf]

I'm trying to help my friend root his phone, and get a 2.2 rom working on it. problem is I tried following 2 different rooting guides already (both like 15+ steps), and we've not been successful. On my xperia x10, I was able to root by just clicking on a button in flashtool. Is there anything similar for the mytouch slide?

The rom we plan on flashing is...
CyanogenMod-6.1 for MT3G Slide :: V6.1.1 (12/15/2010)

Is this a good choice? Is there a better recommendation? Is there something like xrecovery for this phone?

The link you provided has a note: "This will not work on the MyTouch Slide"

I hear this is a good guide and I plan on using it:

Can u z4 root?

Can u z4 root?

I am not familiar with z4root, but looking at this thread: [APP] z4root - xda-developers I would guess that it will most likely work as a temporary root (they claim temp root works on 99% of phones) but it probably will not work for a permanent root.

 

[bigx5murf]

I tried z4root and universal androot, no go. i also, followed this guide to step 13...

[UTIL] New Root Method as of 8/13! -> UPDATED 12/30 for NOOBS! <- - xda-developers

but in the end no root access, cant use busybox or titanium backup.

The xda post you linked to is close, but a couple of points are sufficiently vague that I couldn't make it work at first. I finally found this on the Cyanogen forums, and it filled in the blanks for me:

I rooted my mT3GS (in order to install the leaked HTC Espresso 2.2.1 ROM) using the method in the JATB link above, and it worked just great. Follow the instructions exactly and you shouldn't have any problems.

Cheers!

I've been rooting my slide for a cumulative of about 10 hours. Most of that is because I'm using a Dell dimension 2300 whatever. I had to format the C: again to even get it to work then load updates and .........holy crap. What a weekend.
I came to a stopping point though. Does anyone have any idea why, in the command prompt, when I get to "exploid" it say's the file does not exist. But when I go into androidsdk tools. there it is. I think it may have something to do with not being a file type with no program associated to open it (by the look of the icon) Is there a particular program I can download/open to associate to this exploid file? Any help greatly appreciated.

Did you really have to post this here and start your own thread? (Forum rules?) I responded in the thread you created...
