Having Trouble!!!! - myTouch 3G Slide General

Lately Ive been tryin to set up the sdk and I just cannot get it I wanna Root my MytouchSlide Can Someone Help me PLEASE!!!!!!

You need to be more specific with what you are having problems with.
Also pretty much every question about rooting this phone and flashing roms has been asked more than once. I suggest using the search function to find the information you are seeking. If you can't find an answer that way then feel free to ask a "specific" question regarding your issue and I'm sure someone here will be glad to help

That should solve any issues you're having.

bet your having the same issues as I did. Which is why i created a guide to help. It is in my sig on how to prepare root.
You only need SDK for the adb feature, you do not need to set up SDK other then moving the folder to the correct spot,(which my guide has directions on where to put it) adding tools from Eugenes post into the tools section of SDK.
Good luck on rooting your device.

Biggest issues while I was learning via this guide is the packages you install do not include the adb drivers for the slide which in my guide it shows how to do so.

Where's rooting 101?

There has to be a guide somewhere for those of us that have no idea how to get rooting done. Toast, Unrevoked..Geez! Where do you begin?
I am a convert from winmo so this is all new to me...I am fairly clear with Toast's instructions, but a video or pic tutorial would be greatly appreciated. I did some moderate reading on this, and would still feel far more comfortable "seeing" it done!

you begin with the post entitled "{tutorial} how to root \0/" in the Android Dev section. i'd post a link, but i'm a lowly new user.
looks like windows adb utils are included in the evo-recovery zip, i'm on linux and had the android sdk installed anyway.
Adb is in the android sdk.
Follow the instructions in the tutorial in dev section.
Cmon guys work a little for it.

i think folks who are new to this need a guide to all the acronyms floating around. i mean how many new users konw what "adb" is? its Android Debugging Bridge...
there just needs to be a fundamental guide.. nuts and bolts.. to get people in tune with the process THEN they can start the actual root sequence...

There are really tons of stuff, you just need to search in the development section.
Anything worth doing takes effort. All the answers are around if you look. Not trying to sound snarky or elitist but just like you I had to spend time looking for my answers.

The one-click root works on the AT&T version. You will need to sideload the apk file using ADB or Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine (SWM). There are several threads here discussing this. Try doing a search of this forum.
wow not much help
Somd people get errors when using the sideloder and dont even get me started on just try fixing the error or googleing it.
It sucks that such a forum exists and people arent willing to help there to lazy since they already got the help they needed and dont wana contribute since.there are users also having the same frustrations they once had!
people just dont want to have to answer the same questions over and over again when a simple search would turn up the answer.
So far I think this forum has pretty much answered every problem ive had with my x10 and its usually already been answered and I havent had to start a new thread.
thing is some people arent that computer savy and really would like to get the most of their phone without screwing anything up and i mean all this apk and sdk and seus ect... can get some people confused if it could get all tied up into one simple explanation that could do it also theres thousands of threads on this forum having to do with rooting i dont think one has enough time to be looking over every single one of these threads it is pretty DREADDDDFULLLLLLL
IF you need help rooting PM i will gladly help you out

There is a post in the Q/A section where I posted how to fix the issue where the phone isn't detected. I'm pretty new to android myself, but I've been in IT for going on close to 15 years now, so if I don't know exactly how to fix it I sure as hell can figure it out. The best way I've found to get SWM (it's really adb that's detecting the phone) to see it is by removing the sdk if you have it (just the 1.6 files), uninstalling the driver from device manager, and redownload the 1.6 files for the sdk. I've done it a number of times and it's worked every single time.
I don't think I have full root though, but all I really needed root for was to remove the at&t apps. I used SWM to sideload the exploid one-click root apk (x10root), ran that to get the SuperUser app, then downloaded Titanium from the market to remove the AT&T apps.

Very quick question!

I am about to give rooting a go, but I am struggling desperately with it. I got it all sorted on Windows Mobile 6.5, but android is making my head spin. I have a stock Samsung galaxy S Froyo 2.2. If people can just give me a yay or nay on whether the following steps are correct:
I have found this, one click root tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
But before I can use it, it is telling me I need the ADB. I found the following link on how to install it:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/...ll-it-android/
In order to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html
Following on from that, is it just a matter of downloading the Java SE JDK, then the ADB (Android Development kit) and then using the one click root to finish it all off?
Following on from rooting it, new ROM is it just a matter of downloading & installing them as I would have on Windows Mobile?
Many thanks guys
I don't see what is on oracle.com mayb wrong link...
But if u have instaled ADM and one click root tool you should be ok, it should work.
Just follow the spes in the first post of one click root tool on how to do it and you should be fine.
Many thanks mate!

New Guy Needs Help!

I have an HTC Leo and want to install a droid operating system. How does one go about doing this? Please note that I have NEVER hacked my phone, but am willing to try to speed things up. Eventually want to install Pandora and a GPS app that would work on this phone.
There are several guides on how to do this. Click on the guide linked in my sig. That guide is not really intended to be a how to install Android guide but you should find it helpful. If you look though I do have two how to install Android guides linked at the top of my guide. Also check out the Sticky Roll Up thread in the HD2 Andriod Q&A and General forums.

Need Help Rooting, Really Confused!

Guys I have Nexus S i9020T runnig Android version 2.3.4, Baseband version I9020XXKD1, Build number GRJ22. I have looked around a lot and am confused on how to root my phone, is there any simple way of rooting my phone with super user? I run a very old PC so installing the sdk is pretty hard, so could anyone give me a step by step simple tutorial? This is my first Android phone and am a complete noob at this
Did you read the sticky yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
It's a step-by-step tutorial and exactly how you should do it.
The SDK shouldn't really be a strain for your PC.
Good luck,
Greetz
You don't need the entire SDK. Grab PDAnet USB divers and then choose to download just the 2.3.3 SDK and Google USB drivers from the SDK. Worked fine for me this way. You don't need all the stuff the SDK wants to install by default.

Yes that guide works regardless of what Android version you're using because Android version is not a factor. It's the bootloader.
No, it is impossible to root without the SDK because you have to unlock the bootloader using the SDK. You won't get stuck at the Google screen. People are messing up because they're unable to follow instructions.

I've helped people in this topic many times.
The easiest way I can say is to first download the Android SDK listed in that step-by-step thread. It's not that difficult and you shouldn't be scared to do it. Unless you're flashing something for another model of the phone (such as NS4G) everything should be fixable.
Download http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html to your respective OS. If its for windows, I know it says recommended for exe but I prefer using the .zip version of it. So download that first if you haven't already.

Sure, but I can't guarantee that I can respond right away. But if you're able to do it now, that would be the best and I can help you step-by-step to achieve this. It shouldn't take more than ten minutes.

It's afternoon here. I'll be on but I can't promise anything being on XDA because I may be busy. Like I said, right now is the best time if its possible. The exe is fine, you don't have to re-download it but I have no idea where the exe is installing the SDK to.

I'm on.. like I said, I don't browse XDA 24/7. You want my help, I'm not going to come looking for you.
If your internet is really slow and you have to download ROMs after rooting. It might be rough on your end because ROMs are at least ~80MB+

I'm done downloading the SDK, I am downloading the JDK right now, will install both immediately. I will try the guide, can I PM you if I have any problem, reply whenever you are free, I will wait and could you give me a link or names to the roms I will need? I will keep them on download while I install the SDK.

Don't know why you're downloading the JDK but okay. Extract it and rename the folder android-sdk-windows-r12 to /sdk/ and place it on the root of your C drive. So it'd be located in C:\sdk\
You need to put your phone into bootloader mode (while phone is off; VOL UP + Power) while plugged in. Do what the instructions say and set up the drivers.
The step-by-step guide is self-explanatory. I don't really want to paraphrase what the guide says because it's pretty simple. Follow the guide you linked earlier and tell me if you experience any problems or have problems understanding what is being asked.
Edit: In part 2, where it says:
switch to the directory where you downloaded & unzipped the ..\android-sdk-windows\tools

It'll be cd C:\sdk\tools\
(I rename it to sdk because its easier to type than android-sdk-windows-
Edit 2: In part 2 where it tells you to get clockwork 3.0.0.5, disregard that
download: http://www.mediafire.com/?y3is5c9n5fi1sd6 instead
when you finish downloading it, place it in C:\sdk\tools\
and type:

This is a newer version of the Recovery and it should function better.
