Whether you are new or a veteran at rooting, you know that rooting is boring!
It's a lot of typing and even making sure you leave the right spaces.. -__-
Last I remember, I posted Ultimate Noob Rooter. It was a great way for people to root, but it had its flaws.
That's when dbzfanatic decided to intergrate some of my ideas with he's and make rooting even easier!!
Very Easy!
I Presend to you:
ULTRA EASY ROOTER
STEPS
1) Download From FileServe - CLICK ME TO DOWNLOAD
2) Extract the .zip folder anywhere you like
3) Open "mt3gs rooter.exe"
4) Read and click "Root Me!"
BIG thanks go to
dbzfanatic - for all his help, efforts, and making the app.
xologist - me, for having the idea to make rooting easier.
nbetcher - who's rooting method we are using
cyanogen - for the .bat he had in he's website that motivated me to making root easier.
As a note this method does use ADB which is included but may require drivers. I will probably be posting a tutorial on ADB setup as soon as I get a reply from svetius about something (proper posting place mainly).
Go ahead and try it though, some systems work "out-of-the-box".

Problem
I'm trying to root my wifes Slide and am using your program. I don't think it's working with my Dell. When it gets to the step after turning WiFi back on it says Volume up and other steps but the only thing that happens when I hit Volume Up is turns up the volume.
What did I do wrong? I'm a noob to this device, I own a Vibrant and know nothing about the Slide...
Thanks
Alright, does a cmd window pop up on its own?
Edit: also did it find your device? I noticed a bug in my code (accidentally commented a line) that's supposed to kill the program if the phone isn't detected.
I have the same problem and the CMD prompt does come up on its own but its just an endless loop of instructions, press volume button down etc. But nothing happens on the phone it doesn't even restart
I'm also having an issue with not being able to do anything after the menu comes up and says press volume up to apply update. It only turns up the volume. I love how easy this update is, I'm just hoping I'm not making it harder than it seems lol.
Just to update my post, I tried to use the method again and it will not find my phone... It did before twice and now it won't. Strange huh? A little help here please.
Phone is not found and I get the CMD window but never a reboot. I really wanna root this phone with ease!
Just do it the manual way. The root process is fully described here: http://richard.gluga.com/2010/08/complete-guide-to-rooting-and-hacking.html
Good work on trying to make a tool to automate all this, maybe one day we'll get to a true 1-click root method (but by then the Slide will be obsolete and in a museum, lol).
I come from the Vibrant which takes one .zip file and 10 minutes to root with NO PC... So learning all this tech stuff to root the wifes MT3GS is too much. I know others have succeded in rooting with this Ultra Easy Rooter so I'm hoping I can too.
If you can't root this way then there's another way to do it. The method I am reffering to is the no pc root method located here in the forums. Just follow the instructions and it should be pretty easy if you know what your doing. After all it is all going to be done on the phone, which means (no adb required or no pc required)

Got a link? Wait, we are still talking about the Slide right?
I'm wondering if the person that started this thread is going to comment or help solve the problems going on?
The program works perfectly as long as adb sees your phone and is setup properly. I mentioned you needed adb before, that means you need to be able to run adb from any command prompt and not get a prompt saying "adb is not recognized as an internal or batch command" or whatever. I'm tweaking the code so it should run from the adb file inlcluded, just replace the program. That should solve all the issues except if your phone is not found. If it's not you must install the adb drivers for the mytouch slide (install pda.net,easytether,or the latest htc sync with your phone plugged in,that should give you the drivers. you may need to restart).
Edit: also sorry for the delay, for some reason XDA isn't sending me emails when this thread gets replies, plus I was sleeping.
Edit 2: alright updated program attached. I guess everyone who tested and reported had adb setup like me, sorry guys.

Before I read what you posted now, I kept getting the "adb is not recognized as an internal or batch command" so I stopped doing it for awhile to get unfrustrated lol. The program does see my phone but won't write like its supposed to. I'm gonna try it again (I'm determine lol) I have solved the drivers problem(downloaded the htc sync thing) I'm gonna try it again and report back. Thanks for the response and sorry for waking you! *blush*
Don't worry, I woke up on my own . Hopefully this tweaked version works. If you can get adb shell to work in a command prompt and it still doesn't work would you mind sharing the output of a few commands I'll send you so I can figure out what's up?

Okay this time it went thru the commands fine but it didn't reboot or anything. Still stock here. *sighs* Noob question but how do I send you commands lol.
Just copy the output from the cmd window. Try clicking the button again, for some reason sometimes it takes 2 run-throughs to function, sometimes it only takes one. I swear adb hates me, fix one problem 30 more pop up.
It won't let me pull the stuff from command thing but I noticed 2 things, something with exploid and an incorrect password input. The rest breezed thru.
Since I can't post in the dev forum, I need someone to help. I run driver.exe, then run thunderbolttool.bat
I get "Waiting for Device Connection"
Can someone tell me what's wrong?

Is USB debugging enabled? Maybe try disabling it and re-enabling it
If so, maybe try a different USB cable and/or port
another problem with thunderbolt tool
I'm working on a buddies Thunderbolt, and ran into trouble
Ok I downloaded tool,
extracted it,
ran driver,
ran bat,
then all seemed good untill it hung at waiting for fastboot the second time where moar is mispelled. phone is on the fastboot page
when you rerun it it shows revolutionary, and s off, but if you try to flash cwm it gets to waiting on fastboot and hangs up.
installed superuser from market
try to install busybox and get an error su not found in either of two locations.
installed rom manager from market, but nothing works because cw recovery apparently not installed.
anytime you boot into recovery get a ted triangle with exclamation point.
any good ideas??
refresh my memory of adb process, its been long time since I used it
will factory reset work or will it brick the phone because of the recovery issue??
I realize this is prolly a simple issue to put a missing file into the correct location manually, or with adb, but we have gone above my unassisted pay grade.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Moar is spelled like that on purpose haha
But just reboot the phone and run "S-OFF but no root?" in the extras menu.

Did you ever get help with this? My phone is doing the same thing. Starts ADB and then displays the "Waiting for device connection"
message.
Anybody have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
Phone has usb debugging on and Stay Awake is on.
When it connects, my PC tells me it sees the usb device, etc. but something is still amiss....
TIA
Did you install the fastboot drivers? Also try running adb devices to make sure it recognizes its connected. I didn't get the luxury of the all in one tool when I rooted so I ended up have to root by inputting all the lines in manually to make the revolutionary tool work. It was good practice with adb though.

My buddy has a Thunderbolt that froze and so he tried flashing another rom but came across a huge issue. He tried wiping data, cache, dalvik-cache, and system (I think this is where he messed up) and when he tried flashing the new rom, it kept aborting installation. After that his recovery kept showing a log error where it couldn't mount recovery logs and also it wouldn't mount system or cache. The recovery seemed damaged at that point, so he went into HBOOT and tried flashing some stock rom through it, I guess it didn't go well because it gave an error and said something about the installed version being lower, not really sure. Now it won't even boot into recovery. Oh and here's the worst part, S-ON.. he doesn't know how to mess around with Androids, he asked if I could fix it for him. Any help would be appreciated, I know the phone was a gift for his fiance and I feel bad, I wanna help before they send it back to HTC.

I have read many times over now jcase method and have tried it twice now without success- clearly I am doing something wrong. I have working adb on my pc and all the prerequisite files in the correct directory. I seem to be going wrong at the "adb restore backup.ab" point- it says allow it to restore but in my terminal that process is very quick and the phone does nothing. Am I not waiting long enough?...and appears as if nothing else happens so I go to first terminal and stop it as directions say...but after that the next important 5 code steps say failed or file not found-is that what is supposed to happen?...I finish the remaining steps and then head to htc un unlock but it comes back FAILED Anyone with success have any tips?? I'm stumped...but not bricked...yet!
are you connected to the internet during that time ?
Allowing it to restore means to acknowledge it on the phone itself. Touch the appropriate button on the phone.

Unlock your phone and click the allow button.

And after touching the "allow" button,, be prepared to wait several minutes. That command is restoring a 300 mob for. It takes awhile.

more Q's
Appreciate the help guys! So I should see a message on my phone that requires me to allow? That I did not see or do...sounds hopefull. I have been thinking my adb version was not supporting restore as when I did the restore step all I see is like a help screen, with no direction to allow, or continue or yes/no.....and yes I was connected to internet...should I not be? Won't be able to try this again till tonight but really appreciate the help!
After using the adb restore command, you should turn your phone screen on, and there should be a message waiting that is asking you to confirm that you want to restore.
If you aren't seeing that message after turning your phone screen on, then it sounds like your adb might be too old, our you got a bad download of backup.ab

I made this mistake last night
is the backup.ab file in the same folder as the adb command is?
I forgot to move the backup file and that is when you get the help screen..

Will check all this stuff out, all sounds like it's pointing me in the right direction and I am a bit complsive so I will get there sooner or later, any other thoughts will be greatly appreciated and investigated...I think my files are where they are supposed to be BUT I will check and re-check
try it and let us know dude ..do not proceed until you are sure backup is done
Ok...some success, did it in win 8 but I think it was my version of adb that was the problem..not version of windows or files-however I had a zillion files and shortcuts on 7 and I was getting confused so I switched.
I did now get the backup to run, unlocked and allowed on phone...let it finish and all seemed great but last step before reboot...the "adb shell dd if=/sdcard/CIDBLOCK.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" code returned something like permission denied? Anyway I did reboot and did try for the hell of it, to unlock at HTC...but of course It FAILED. I did not factory reset this time so I am thinking maybe that's the problem and will try again later. Any other thoughts on this demise?
Maybe windows 8 is the problem

Could be except that it did work up to that (almost) last step...I did read to factory reboot before trying again but I did not...mostly because I was lazy...but also because the image files were already in my phone storage anyway and that,s what the first few steps do...I started from backup.ab code part so I will do the whole deal over...later-burned at the moment.

Well...It all finally went well!! Can't thank members enough for all the help...I will pay it forward!!
First off,i would like to apologize for being such an amateur.This is my first post on this forum,so don't get angry on me for breaking some rules (forgive me im new ,idk if i should post this here or somewhere else,don't worry i will be polite ).Anyway as the title says,im having a bit of a problem,or to be more precise a huge one.
So lately i was trying to root my phone,Huawei U8500 which was so buggy,so i decided to root it,install cwm and flash a new ROM.But the problem is i can't get it rooted.I've tried many methods from XDA but none of them worked.Z4 root loads until it displayed acquiring root access,and then the app crashes (closes itself).I've tried Framaroot,but it didn't work either.It said 'try another exploit',but the thing is it displayed me only one.I also tried poot.apk,but it also failed.Telling me '(-) can't get a handle on it:-1 Permission denied'.
(note that all the time my USB Debugging was enabled ! ) All of the apps are at latest version!
So after so many failed attempts with pc-less methods i've decided to try a PC one.The first method i used was Superoneclick,which didn't work.I thought that was because the phones model was not supported.All until a friend of mine told me that he rooted his phone using the same program (he has as well huawei u8500).Every time i try to root with superoneclick it is stuck at the second step(as in screenshot).Then i started googleing and google-ing,until i found a thread with a program called SRSroot,thinking it will safe me from this nightmare that is haunting me for days.But it failed again.The program told me 'ADB Device not found',which made me think about checking the drivers.I've installed the google usb drivers and SDK Manager with all drivers.But still the same happens.So i decided to see if my computer(later many others) recognize my device.After i typed in ADB 'adb devices' it showed me blank.Later i tried to do the same with my other phone and it displayed the device.Another thing i've noticed lately is my computer sees my device as a cd device in windows device manager.It happened with all computers i tried. I've tried it also at my friends(plural,which means more computers).I've tried it on Win7,win XP,and WIN8 and it is still displayed as cd drive.(which is not the case with other phones i've tested!)
I hope someone will read this and help me.I would also like to add, this is not my first time rooting,so i knew what i was doing.
Im so confused,idk what to do,developers pls HELP ME!!!
I will also post screenshots from all the things mentioned above.Hope this helps you figure out the problem
On the adb devices, are you sure it is setup correct, because it needs a set of rules basically. I don't have time right now. But if you search 'adb' in the xda portal (not forum) you will find a windows universal adb installer. That should fix the adb issue. But apart from that I don't know what else you can do.

Gosh that is so confusing. Could you reset your phone or do you have data you want to keep? Because you could perform an ADB backup and try a factory reset and hope that all is righted.
I did factory reset,i also did hard reset,but still nothing works

Short of a new phone, I got nothing. Unless you could get into a recovery, try format the system, causing a brick, flash a 2.3 ftf and then a 4.04 after that, clearing data each time.

heres wha i have done and my problem, sure hope theres some help an i havent broken it. Since FuHu has removed the updates i decided to give it a whir myself. I read and read on the nabi and differant ways to update, but none worked. Somehow i deleted the OS, but i figured no problem and found the xda site for the nabi stuff. I was able to install twrp 2.2.2, it wouldnt read the micros sd card, i up graded the twro to 2.8 version, everythig semed to work except the deggone "slide button" id recon youd call it. Back to the drawing board. I down loaded twrp 2.6 for the nabi and installed. Have no idea what went wrong, but now, i fire up the nabi, go into recovery kernal ( without being plugged into the pc ) it just sits there, when i plug the usb cable into nabi then the laptop, it automaticall connects to the driver, and goes to a screen that has,,
bootloader
continue
reboot-bootloader
reboot
power off
now if i press the vol - again it goes to a screen....
boot normally
fastboot protocol
recovery kernal
forced recovery
it just keep fliping back and forth betwen thos 2 screens,it shows connected on my laptop,but try to load anything and it says no device connected..
Truley baffeled,, any help is appreciated
