YOU MUST HAVE ADB FOR THE MYTOUCH SLIDE SET UP BEFORE DOING THIS!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT THAT IS DONT DO THIS!!!!! IF YOUR PHONE BRAKES NOT OUR PROBLEMS!!!!!
Download this package http://outboundlink.us/anxo/dr_ta_1...www.4shared.com/file/rbKZa2UB/Slide_Root.html
1. Unzip that file to the tools folder in your android sdk
2. In cmd cd into the tools folder of your android sdk
• CD\
• Cd androidsdk\tools
3. Boot into recovery (volume down and power, then select recovery)
4. Get the options on the screen in recovery (volume up and power)
5. run the update.zip it will fail
6. now in cmd type adb reboot recovery (don’t press enter)
7. in the recovery hit reboot system now( once it starts rebooting run that command rapidly untill back into recovery)
8. type adb devices(if it says nothing repeat the steps, if it says offline unplug it and then plug it back in, if it says recovery your fine)
9. once you get it to say your device and recovery do these commands
• adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (press enter)
• adb push slideroot.zip /sdcard (press enter)
10. type this comandin cmd adb push update.zip /sdcard (don’t press enter)
11. on the recovery menu hit apply update.zip and when you do that wait half a second and hit enter in cmd (if that dosent work try the loop way bye typing loop in to cmd wile booting into recovery and the crtl+c to end it when you see offline)(my way works better and mor of the times)
12. now you should be in the new recovery image if not start over
13. co to the partitions menu and hit mount /system
14. then go back and go to install any zip, chose zip from sdcard, and then select slideroot.zip
15. reboot
Thanks to eugene for the initial how-to
Thanks to chiefzreloaded
Thanks kingofyo1 for helping people with me
For the love of GOD I hope this works... I've been wondering why another way hasn't been found yet... trying this in a few minutes.
Are the files in step 1 the same from the original root thread? Should clarify that so people dont download it twice and confuse themselves. And just to be clear, we only need to push the two zips to the sd card...? F*ck it, gonna try it.
Uh, this method isn't going to work on a stock phone. The signature on the update.zip that contains the clockwork recovery will fail. The only reason choosing the update is working for you(jp) is because you've already flashed to the Engineering ROM.
The whole reason eugene's method works is because the phone reads the correct signature the ota.zip and then we push the update.zip with clockwork recovery RIGHT before it starts the update. Following your guide completely skips that part. So, again, won't work on stock.
Sorry, fermonkey. Hope you can get it.
Couldn't even waste time to try it on a stock phone...
Thanks for all the help and documentation on this guys!!
this doesnt work...
the update.zip fails
I was hoping somebody resigned it
yeah well the instructions if you go by them will overwrite the update.zip anyways. but eitherway itdoesnt work.. maybe more clarification is needed?

ya i got that i updated it with better instructions, and it was because the files needed to be pushed through adb the cant just be put on an sd card and flashed
still says no device found
I tried hit up arrow for repeat quick commands in cmd prompt but still nothing. If this works for someone, this will be way easier to root. it seems the device responses to adb because it will reboot into recovery with a cmd during the reboot but it cant find the device offline.
hmmm...! some progress was made! I got it to say offline but when I replugged it in... it says nothing. what next?
I guess I'll rinse and repeat...

any luck with the new method? I got it to say device offline but replugging it produces nothing...
just curious... how do we know this will work? as anyone rooted with this method yet?
First of all, doesn't work on a stock Slide. Second, how is this process any easier? It's almost the same process as the other (working) method except you gave crappier directions.

So this method still relies on your phone being recognized by adb in recovery, right? If so, then no, I am sure I will have no luck what so ever.
Once froyo comes out, will there ever be another way developed to root, or will it always require adb recognition in recovery? Because I fear I'll never get rooted if thats the case.
Dude, seriously, this won't work on stock. There's no clarification needed. Yes, the update.zip is overwritten, but it's overwritten AFTER it reads the signature from the ota.zip. No offense but stop making people waste time on this.

Oh! It's staying in offline mode with this process... now just gotta unplug/replug to see if I get a recovery status in adb!... god I hope this works.!

I went through the steps and now phone is off and wont turn on. When connected QHSUSB_DLOAD in device manager.
Do we need to have the QHSUSB_DLOAD drivers for this exploit to work?
Thanks ahead of time.
EDIT: Did a battery pull and started over from begining. We now have S-Off!!!!! Failed to install CWM but I will install TWRP
Does Amon Recovery work? If so, can we get instructions for that? If not, instructions for CWM.
Thanks,
Mike
Oh okay, I failed.
When I did that it just came up with a list of commands
If your phone wont turn on you probably dont have your fastboot drivers installed. Do that first
AS for amon RA recovery that hasent been built for the shooter yet. If you want cmw just keep running the revolutionary application and it will ask if you want it to flash CMW

So that means that you should opt out of the CWM install and install TWRP after doing s-off? Would be nice if we had full instructions: including what to select/install during the revolutionary exe.

Edit: Just saw the post above that CWM isn't working yet.
I flashed this through fastboot and it appeared to work. It won't boot into the recovery though. Are there some steps I'm missing?
beta key
I have tried to enter in the beta key oh about 20 time but it keeps saying invalid press almost and key to abort anyone else having this problem ?
I used revalutionary to root and it worked great but I tried to use Rom Manager to load a rom and since it made me install CWM Recovery. I now do not have a recovery. when in bootloader it will scan for PG86IMG.zip but it is scanning for PC86IAG.zip. Can some help me fix this.

Screw CWM and ROM manager...take the extra 20 seconds it takes and just boot to recovery by hand. flash TWRP and be done with it.
EDIT: Sorry, here, http://www.techerrata.com/dl.php?path=27&file=PG86IMG-twrp-shooter-1.0.1.zip download that, unzip it and then download fastboot from here: http://developer.htc.com/adp.html#s2 then type "fastboot flash recovery path/to/recovery-twrp-shooter-1.0.0.img" , make sure all of these files are in the same directory....oh yeah, with no quotes.
I must be stupid
I cant get fastboot to work. Does it work on win7 64bit comp? I put the phone in fastboot usb mode and go to the comp and try to run fastboot but all it does is flashes for like a mil sec and does nothing.

You've gotta go to the command prompt....
So, first download and unzip all of the files into a folder called "recovery" (no quotes)....
or click start, click run, type "cmd" then hit enter. then type "cd Desktop/recovery" (no quotes).... then type in the fastboot command I gave you above.
ok, well thank you soooo much for your help, but I still cant get tis to work.
1 How do I get my comp to now to flash the comand to my phone, do i have the phone in charge, disc drive or go into fastboot?
2. the comand you told me to type into the cmd was 1.0.0.IMG BUT the file is 1.1.0.zip
I had a friend that is very smart with cmd promp and he was confused with how running this on the computer -- to get it to the phone.
all we got was an error that it could not find the path
Just follow the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192643
Basically download a recovery rename it to PC86IAG.zip power on using vol down and power the recovery will flash and then reboot and delete PC86IAG.zip.
Or turn off quickboot settings/power uncheck quickboot and then reboot your phone and I bet you will have your CWM recovery, but you need to do the above or a battery pull to do a real restart.

Dont bother with all that cmd prompt crap you dont need to follow what I said. Easiest way is the battery pull then reboot to recovery.

Download that file. (it's TWRP recovery). Rename it to PG86IMG.zip. (if you're on windows, remember that the '.zip' extension won't show, and is already there. So just rename it PG86IMG). Then place the file on the main directory of your sd card. Shut your phone off, and boot into the bootloader. It will scan and find the PG86IMG.zip, then ask you to update. Press volume up to say yes. It will finish. Then reboot. Then shut phone off and boot back to bootloader. Select the 'recovery' option from the bootloader menu. You should then successfully boot into recovery. That's all you should need to do. And as daneurysm said, forget about Rom manager, and do your wiping and flashing manually, from the recovery menu. You'll have less troubles that way.
EDIT: After you get recovery working, flash this http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...echerrata.com/toastcfh/Shoot...d-unsigned.zip, and then you'll be fully rooted. At that point, I suggest downloading "quickboot" app, and you can use that to boot to recovery or bootloader much quicker and easier. Have fun.

Yea, your response wasnt there when I started typing mine. I started typing it, then had to get some pizza out of the oven and cut it up. Then got back to my response. Wasn't trying to steal your thunder or anything. Also, you said to rename it to PC86IAG.zip or something....does that work? I've only used PG86IMG.zip. Just curious if you made a typo, or if you can use either one.

The problem is you let clockwork flash recovery when rom manager per say doesn't support or list the Evo 3D for a recovery to flash. As the earlier poster suggested Quickboot works great

(SOLVED)i downloaded the RUU from HTC Dev Site and i have no clue on ow to install it.
this is the guide it came with any ideas?
--Please follow below command to download the official android toolchain: (arm-eabi-4.6)
git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/prebuilt
NOTE: the tool ¡¥git¡¦ will need to be installed first; for example, on Ubuntu, the installation command would be: apt-get install git
--Modify the .bashrc to add the toolchain path, like bellowing example:
PATH=/usr/local/share/toolchain-eabi-4.6/bin:$PATH
--Start
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOP/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- ap37_android_defconfig
$make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=$TOP/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi- -j12
$TOP is an absolute path to android JB code base
--Clean
$make clean
--Files path
> arch/arm/boot/zImage
> Please remember to update kernel modules also by the following commands before full function testing
adb remount
adb push ./drivers/scsi/scsi_wait_scan.ko system/lib/modules/

Alright!
This is where you have made all wrong. AHRD is only available for the International version. On your phone you can only install any custom ROM tagged AT&T/TELUS.
Which Recovery you have? TWRP?
To fix your issue tell me which ROM you want and I will write you a guide on how to get out of this situation.
There is a Venom full tweaked and customized.
Elegancia Stock and full y modded.
Blackout Mongoose a good mix of stock and customization with an optimized kernel.

If all is good now for you, can you edit the title of your thread and this tag to it : [SOLVED]Need help getting RUU Stock back on phone
Ok... This is my 4th android phone.. And I love this phone... And only had it for a week.... and just now got it bricked.... here's what happen... Today I tried to flash a sense 4.1 rom, but im so new at this, and I'm half way done, and I went in a rush because I was nervous, and I accidentally press "install and keep data" and that was my mistake. I factory reset it b4 so I tried to flash it... So I thought it wouldn't be a problem. So I waited till the phone finish flashing. And when I rebooted the phone.... Nothing happened, just stuck on the white screen.... vibrating and etc... And I tried to restore all my data in clockworkmod recovery like I never even tried flashed it.. and it kept saying "won't mount sd card" and I tried to clear my cache/dalvik-cache, and like it still wont fix the issue. I even tried to restore wat I backup b4 I tried to flash it... and It was gone!!! Even my windows 8 laptop won't even detect my resound nor my sd card(unless its on a different android). But How can I fix my Rezound?!? plzzzz How can I fix this soft bricked issue? pllzzzzzzz help!!!
Im assuming you already have adb installed
Download this file
http://www.mediafire.com/download/oa2sjlvrecx0wdn/recovery-ra-vigor-3.16-gnm.img.zip
Extract the recovery img
Put it in the adb folder
Load into fastboot
Open up the terminal
Put "cd" then hit space
Drag and drop the adb folder into the terminal window then hit enter
Now use this command to flash that recovery "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (without the quotation marks)
Now go into recovery Find "format data system cache ect."
Go to format all to ext3 once that is done hit return
Flash your prefered rom from the flash menu and all that
Once you are done return to the main menu and go to "developer menu"
Then reboot to bootloader
Now go into your rom that you downloaded on your pc and find the rom now open it and get the boot.img
Copy the boot.img file to your adb folder
Open up terminal again and this time use the command "fastboot flash boot boot.img" in terminal its going to say sending then writing usually takes a couple of seconds
now just go to the reboot option and your rom should work
Now remember that since you are s on you need to get the boot.img file from EVERY rom you install and flash it thru the terminal in order to get your rom working

If you are S-ON, you are likely not bricked, it's almost impossible to completely brick when you are S-ON.
Why do people keep telling occasional flashers that are S-ON to do this?!?!? It is the hard way, also don't use Amon Ra, is it outdated and known to cause issues with current ROMs, use TWRP or CWM recovery!!! Also, verify your ROM is specifically for the HTC Rezound, check the Developer threads here and make sure it is stable and widely used unless you really know what you are doing.
Although xkjonathanxk is on the right track, he is making more complicated than it needs to be...
- Download the first link in the first post of this thread and place it on the root of your SD card: [Tool] - 3/24 - CleanWIPE 1.0 - Wipe 5 or 10x before ROM install! - 1heffer Edition! (CleanWIPE formats all the necessary partitions for you, and prepares the phone for a new ROM)
- Download TWRP or CWM Rececovery (one of the first two links in post 1) and extract the recovery*.img and place it in the adb folder that contains fastboot.
- Download a tested and verified ROM of choice and place it on the root of your SD card
- Now, reboot into fastboot, remove battery and hold down Power and Vol Dn, once the menu comes up select Fastboot and press power, connect phone to PC
- In ADB enter the command "fastboot devices", if it shows a device continue, if not report back please
- Now enter the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" and TWRP (or CWM) should open on the device in a few seconds (replace recovery.img with whatever the name of the xxxx.img file is from TWRP or CWM archive)
- Install the CleanWIPE zip from above
- Install ROM zip image
- Reboot and enjoy the goodness
Remember to give the ROM some time to settle down on the first boot, and that the first boot can take a long time, like a painfully wrong "WTF did I do to ruin my device!" long time, but give it a solid 10 minutes before doing anything else.

For the things you need to do, its not much different than Windows. Download and install adb, copy images to same places, and the commands are pretty much the same. If you can dualboot you obviously have some knowledge of such things.
If this is all do difficult, just grab a thumb drive, put mini-adb, recovery.img, and your ROM on it and go to a buddies computer with Win7 for 20 minutes and get it done that way.
I know this seems like a huge, potentially fatal problem, but it is minor...
Another thought I had... Download TWRP, go into CWM recovery and copy the TWRP file and ROM to the sd card, and FLASH TWRP recovery ZIP with CWM recovery, reboot into recovery and you will then be on TWRP and you can use TWRP's HTC Dumlock to flash the ROM and the boot.img without a PC at all... In theory, it should work.

So I recently had my phone temporarily rooted via weaksauce, however, after updating to Sense 6 with the Verizon OTA update, weaksauce will not root properly and it continues to fail. Is there no way to fix this or am I missing something with the OTA update? I sort of need to use weaksauce because I am not confident in my rooting ability to be able to restore the phone to factory when I turn it in for an upgrade in a few months.
none
I would start over. The posts on how to root are very good. There are also youtube videos you can watch. It really is very easy to root this device. if nothing else load a program called team viewer on your computer and I will root it for you, but I want you to try first. You will use something called rumrunner. PM me if you need help

I would second that. If you are going to root a phone for the first time this is the one to start with. It is extremely well documented and this is a very helpful forum. I had the same feelings when I started (HTC Wildfire) back in the day and I did about everything wrong but in the end figured it out. Now there a several helpful threads and videos as stated above. I would recommend that you do a dry run, have everything together and go through the steps one by one in your mind or on paper before doing the actual root. You may miss something but your odds are better. Trust yourself I thoroughly believe any can root this phone and it's easier than you think and the value besides learning of the great ROMs that are here etc. is well worth it. Even if you temp root it you are going to have to know what to do to get it back before you turn it in so the knowledge will be necessary.
Are you on hboot 2.49

rumrunner will not work if he's on the ota update of sense 6, he will have to flash a custom recovery, do a nandroid backup, flash vipermax rom, and run firewater.
as to the OP, it's very easy to do, follow the guides for setting up SDK/ADB, download the appropriate custom recovery for your device (i personally like TWRP the best), place that file in your adb folder that you made from the SDK/ADB guide, unlock your bootloader if not already (i did mine via HTCdev, they have a guide). then boot into the bootloader via power+vol down, scroll with volume keys, and select with power button, go to fastboot, plug in your usb cable to your computer, if you have the drivers it will change on your device "fastboot usb". then open up a command prompt in your SDK/ADB folder (do this by shift+right click in the folder and select open command prompt here). in your command prompt type in "adb devices" to make sure your drivers are right and it see's your device. now type in "fastboot oem rebootRUU", your phone will go to a black screen that says HTC on it. now type in "fastboot flash recovery "put the name of the recovery file here".img", then after that completes without any errors, type "fastboot reboot-bootloader" press the power button with bootloader selected, scroll to recovery and press power button, once you're in recovery, do a nand backup of your stock rom, after you've done that while still in recovery, i would strongly suggest saving this backup file to your computer, you can do this in ADB by typing in "adb pull /sdcard/TWRP" and it will pull the entire directory with your backup in it.
to gain s-off and fullroot, download vipermax rom for your device, while in recovery still, you can put the rom zip file in your ADB folder, and in ADB type "adb push "Name of the zip file" /sdcard" and it will copy and paste the rom zip to your sd card, once you see it finish in the command prompt, click on install on your phone, scroll to the zip file and click on it.
when the phone boots up, make sure you connect to wifi and go through the setup, once that is done download the Firewater file, and follow the instructions. and you should get s-off, now in adb type "adb reboot recovery" and then click on restore, and restore your stock rom, now you're stock rooted, with s-off.

Firewater guide/downloade here http://firewater-soff.com/instructions/
And i think that should be it, if after you do this and want to flash back stock recovery it's pretty simple, find and download the recovery image for the version of rom, you're using, for instance, your ota update should or will probably be in your downloads folder, if you open it with zip, (i use winrar) you will find a zip in it named "Firmware.zip" open it up, and you will see a file named recovery, extract it to your ADB Folder, boot into the "Fastboot oem rebootRUU", then simply type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" let that finish, then type "fastboot reboot" and it will start your phone, and now you'll have the stock recovery and be able to receive and install future OTA updates, if there is any. >.<

Really an excellent post it's nice to have all that in one place. I also was unable to get rumrunner to work and have used firewater quite successfully (which was part of what I was trying to point out above). Also, I was unable to get HTCdev to unlock my phone. That may or may not be about me. I am a Linux person and I think I might have had the wrong adb/fastboot at the time. The one in the android sdk did not work for me but for anyone on LInux who is interested the one in this link did http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/help/andrenaline-rom-constant-reboot-t2853591
Once again, excellent summary, I will be bookmarking this for later.
I think all of the above info is great and everyone trying to help is awesome. However I really liked having a soft root via weaksauce for a very limited amount of apps like titanium backup and root explorer. So am I to understand that there is no newer Weaksauce or similar available for 4.4.2 and sense 6?
Enjoyment to the MAX!

As far as I am aware firewater still works. I used it just a few days ago and just saw a post today http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-max/help/gain-s-off-t2849836 although he doesn't clearly state that he was using sense 6,
