Now that the slide has Root and an update, I have a question that may have been asked/answered in previous threads, forgive me in advance (I did a search and could not get an answer)...
Once rooted, will the slide still get the Froyo update?
Also if the phone has to go back for exchange/warranty, is there a way to flash it back to "Stock" as we did with the Samsung BHII?
TIA!
There is a nandroid backup of the stock rom available in the development section of the forum to revert back for warranty, not sure if froyo will goto a rooted slide, but I'm sure the devs will have a 2.2 rom out soon

Wait... There was an update?
This is the one thing keeping me from rooting.
Just back up your stock android rom before rooting so you can restore it. When you get to clockworkmod for the first time create a backup.

½anyone know where to get the RUU of the slide rom, not mixed and modified by a dev or cook?
but the origional rom or lastest version of it.
the nandroid backup will get you back to stock(ish) and if you're rooted with an aftermarket rom, you WILL NOT receive any updates from tmobile.. A couple days after release of the update, we'll have a rooted version, i can bet my right nut on it(and yes i do still have my right nut lol)
Guys... I don't play forum police or anything but the questions go in the q/a stickied thread or in general. The moderater already moved several threads like this today. Oh and when we do get an update... it will posted here after the proper mods have been made. You'll only have to wait a couple days and I'm sure that will be faster than you having to wait in line for your ota to be beamed to your handset. So go ahead and root it.. trust me! You'll be glad you did. Oh and if you get an ota... don't install it! Contact me or one of the other forum members. Or better yet post your news and we'll tell you the steps so we all can enjoy it.

Thanks bro for trying to keep people in line while I have been busy. and like you said this thread is now moved to QandA where it shouldve been posted.
Agreed... Sorry about that - just thought General was appropriate at the time.
I would like to get the OTA update that comes out today, but assume I cannot do that with root and the custom recovery. Are there directions somewhere on how to do this for the unrevoked3 setup? Thanks.
If you are running a rooted stock rom and all you've done is push super user, busybox, and maybe a modified host file for adfree, I don't understand why you would need to unroot to receive the OTA update. None of the core system has been modified. Am I totally off base here? To my mind, the worst that would happen is you would loose root.
need stock recovery to flash the ota properly. downgrade via the instructions posted in this forum and do the two ota. then reroot using unrevoked 3
I'd just wait for the devs to clear the new OTA. Didn't take long with the EVO.
No need to jump the gun quite yet...

Yeah, this is what I'm waiting for. A similiar EVO solution to the OTA
seriously, you open a thread to answer your other thread? while the answer you looking for is right in the 1st page.
I've reported both threads and suggested a temp ban. **** on the first page there is a huge orange font telling me how to install the ota. I wish this phone woulda came out on anything but verizon. To many kids on verizon....and idiots.
Lol

I'm not issuing warnings yet for questions posted in development which may fall under that scope. I have requested a Q&A sub-forum be created for DI. We'll see how that pans out. Until then, please post questions in the thread where you believe your issue is arises. Otherwise, please post questions in the DI/General sub-forum until a Q&A forum is created. Thanks!
Hey all!
I was thinking of rooting my eris, but after reading the forum some, I still have a couple questions about Eris rooting and rooting in general.
First off, if I use the one click root app, I will not have to install a new rom, correct? Also, how likely is it to brick my phone? If bricked, is there a method of restoring it?
Secondly, if I install the FroYo rom, would I be able to go back to the factory build of OTA 2.1? Or would I be stuck with custom roms then?
The only reason I am concerned with restoring the factory rom is that if something happens to the phone, I'd like my warranty to still be able to cover it (I'm 99% sure that they won't cover a rooted froyo thats overclocked).
Also, sorry if these have been asked before, I just wasn't able to find them on my own.
You need to ask these questions n the Q&A forum. This is a Dev forum and should only have questions relating to Roms and issues with custom roms.
Get ready for the dog pile.
Uh oh, my bad. I thought it was in the q&a...
Sorry guys, I'll see if I can delete it from the app and repost

there are answers to ur questions all over these forums , ushouldnt have any troubles finding them
I cannot get a temp root for my EVO Shift. Therefore, I cannot proceed with root.
I tried z4root. It reboot after I click temp root. It runs very slow and denied su.
Visionary is the same. Not able to get a temp root.
Anybody has an idea? It is the same before or after 2.3 OTA.

Wow, did you really need to call him that.
Anyway, I don't think you can temp root after updating to the 2.3 OTA update.
it's been stated quite a few times in different threads, no disrespect - there is no root available yet for shifts updated to 2.3 ota. neither temp nor permanent root. i'm sure there will be soon tho, it's only a matter of time!
Thread closed. If I have to close a thread for a user flaming, even if it is in the wrong section, it will be an infraction or a ban. Report the thread to me, do not flame the poster. Thank you.
Ive searched quite a bit, I know this phone is a bugger to root so I figure I would ask. I did have this droid x rooted nicely, running MIUI and some other nice ROMS... then one day things went horribly wrong. I did an update and from then on it wouldnt get past the bootloader unless I reverted to stock. I was a few days away from a Galaxy Nexus update so I didnt sweat it and have been using my Nexus ever since.
...But I keep seeing my DX, sitting there looking like a decent android device that just needs a little update to be turned into something useful. I've seen quite a few posts on Motorola tightening the strings on rooting so I was hoping for a little advice on getting root on my 2.3.3 / 4.5.588.
Thanks!
Check out the link below. Since you are on 4.5.588 I would suggest SBF to 4.5.602, then use D3 1 click root. The links are in the forum below. Just make sure you do not take any OTA's while on 602.
Once you are rooted then you can load any GB rom you want through CWM.
