Has anyone ever tested this? I don't have a MT3GS anymore but this seems like a pretty awesome and pain free process to gain root.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nick@vlmspec:
I would also like to know if this works?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kitila:
Yes it does work have done it muti times just to check and check YES it works.....
[myTouch 3G Slide General] msl9150:
YES this surprisingly does work. The only problem I had was that the update file wasn't on my SD card so I continued to get a signature filed message when I tried to update. All I did was to copy the file from the mtg rooter fille over to my SD card and ran the update and it worked perfectly. I'm rooted and very happy!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] MDSkinner:
Had to get my slide replaced and the new one came with 2.2.1. I used this method and it got me back to a rooted 2.1 state just like it says. Thanks for coming up with this one.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NingDynasty:
Really quick and easy! Thanks so much. Too bad T-Mobile is shipping these with 2.2.1 on them, no more S-Off...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
Outstanding! Thanks for the tip. Worked flawlessly.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] poeticsoul44:
This would be awesome if there were links to where to download everything so someone doesn't download the wrong thing by mistake
[myTouch 3G Slide General] NJAZ:
important links

I agree with the last post ... links are critical here. This was the easiest rooting process I have ever encountered. Below are links left out by OP. Follow OP's instructions with these files and you'll be rooted quickly and painlessly.

This method should be the new rooting method for folks receiving replacement or new slides with 2.2. This should, IMO, be in development.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Dienacarfire:
Thank god for this method. My phone up and died and the replacement came with 2.2.1. I tried a few other methods that failed. This one worked like a charm.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] zavien:
nice

wish i would have stopped back here would have saved me from having to downgrade, root, then upgrade back too 2.2 smh.... lol but nice to know yeah!!!!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] calion:
Very helpful

I am going to try this method soon. Do we need anything else other than those two files to get our phones operational again? I want to try cm7 nightly, but want to make sure the phone would work before trying to put on another rom.

dudas

hello friends xda congratulate you for helping and answering all our Unknowns but I wanted to ask for help with root touch me slide my'm total newbie at this and am having problems with the root of my phone if I do not understand and this is the only place to do this is here and we wanted to have some aid perire video on how to do it : Confused:: (: (: Confused:
[myTouch 3G Slide General] huggs:
1. Download the 2 files in post #13/ thanks NJAZ:cool: (SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip and mt3srooter.zip)

2. Extract them to their own folders on the desktop of your computer

3. Run the .exe files within each of the folders (open the programs SuperOneClick and mt3srooter--run as admin if using Vista or Win7)

4.In the Super1Click program, click "Shell Root", wait a moment til it does its thing

5.In the mt3gs rooter program, click on "Root Me"

It will tell you to turn on the wifi on your phone, and you must do it within 30 seconds, so hurry

6.Your phone will reboot into bootloader mode if all goes well. Use your volume buttons to navigate down to the fastboot option, and choose it with the power button. The phone will scan your sd card and find ESPRIMG.zip, and take a while checking the file. When it is finished checking the file, press the volume up button to confirm that you want to flash the file. Once it is finished flashing, you're rooted on stock 2.1 Eclair ROM.

I dont know if these programs put the update.zip for CWM onto your sd card too, I already had that and the ESPRIMG.zip on my card when I used this method, so if all else fails you, put a card into your phone with these files on the root of it into your phone and then use the 2 programs to gain root. Dont be afraid to try it a couple of times if it doesn't work the first time, and make sure that you have the correct drivers for your phone installed on your computer. To get into CWM Recovery to be able to flash custom ROMs, boot into bootloade by starting your phone and holding the vol-down button, and you will get a black screen with a red triangle. Then press power and vol-down and choose "Apply Update.zip" and in a moment you will be in CWM Recovery,as long as you have the file on the root of your sd card.

Just thought I'd spell it all out very detailed and simple for anybody less familiar with all this kind of stuff, makes for less "please explain step #...." posts.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] alemanandrew:
this worked for me....im still having problems with the a2sd tho...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] insanityrains:
I followed this and I didnt have any luck untill I put the ESPRIMG.zip on my sd card before I start everything. Im running on 2.1 and loving it now :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] EyeAndroid:
Oh man,

Please someone help me. I am soooooo tired of all of the rooting options for this phone, nothing works!!

I just followed all directions perfectly.

But on super one click I get "error: protocol fault (no status)"

Then I click shell root again, but then it says I have temp root.

Go on to the mts rooter and when its giving auto command prompts, its showing files cant be found.

Then when I get into fast boot its telling me there is no ESPRIMG img. And then after i try to apply update.zip it says verification of package failed.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Im gonna shoot this freakin phone!! Please help!!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] katbastard:
worked like a charm
[myTouch 3G Slide General] mimicvii:
I've used this method on both mine and my wife's froyo'd phones and it has worked perfectly.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] shanepardue:
I don't have the /sqlite_stmt_journals folder with the needed files after following each step. Currently on stock 2.2.1
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Roontek:
Tried the outlined steps and came back with this result:

Was able to get to the bootloader where it attempted to load esprimg.zip.

Then I see:

Loading...[ESPRDIAG.zip]

No Image!

Loading...[ESPRDIAG.nbh]

No Image!

Loading [ESPRIMG.zip]

It then finishes and moves onto:

Checking...[ESPRIMG.zip]

And finally finishes with:

Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

So I then attempt to go ahead with installing the update.zip:

I boot into system recovery:

See this: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command, at the bottom of the screen

So I then select: Apply sdcard:update.zip (for giggles)

And this is what it returns:

--Install from sdcard...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:Failed to verify whole-file signature

E:Signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

So I pretty much knew that last part was doomed from the start, but I have been working on this phone now for about 12+ hours and nothing so far, although this approach has gotten me the farthest out of them all.

Here are my phones specs:

MyTouch 3g Slide 3.5mm jack version

Espresso Pvt Ship S-On

HBOOT 1.02.0000

MICROP - 0620

Touch Panel - SYNW0101

Radio 7.15.35.16

Nov 26 2010 20:43:01

So there it is in a nutshell. I would appreciate any assistance with this. Do I need a newer ESPRIMG.zip file that will work with the bootloader? Running out of ideas in general. If you have any other questions please ask.

Thanks.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] VisualOddity:
Where do I get ESPRIMG.zip and update.zip for CWM??? I'm did this, but it never looked for anything in recovery, rebooted and is still 2.2.1. Where do I get these files to put in the SD? Any help is greatly appreciated, quicker the better... lol

EDIT: I found the files, duh they were in the zip... lol

Once it goes into recovery or whatever, it searches for the ESPRIMG.zip, but doesn't fine it... :(
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Gera520:
Thanks i was able to root my phone!this was the only method i found to work after days of searching!now only one prob how to flash cm7 to this! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Shroomster:
I'd like to ask a stupid question:

If the procedure in post#1 is followed the phone

will have both 2.1 AND root

?

If that is the case

will there already be a custom recovery installed from post#1 procedures?

Then, is it possible to just download CWM from the app store and do your roms that way?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fixxxer2008:
how do you flash custom roms after using this method? do i rename the roms to update zip?

[myTouch 3G Slide General] RikkKeith:
Update.zip file included with the download?

Hi, I've read through the thread several times and I'm just about ready to make the leap, but I'm unclear on the Update.zip file. I see it's included in the Mt3srooter.zip file, but is this file a custom ROM or just CWM to install a custom ROM. That's were I'm getting a little lost.

Do I need to download a custom ROM prior to using CWM and add it to the root of my card so I can use CWM? And if the update.zip file is not a ROM, I know I need to change the name of the ROM to update.zip before adding it my my card, but wouldn't that leave me with 2 files with the same name on my card?

One last question on this same subject. What about the Google Apps? Do I need to download these as well, or are they included in one of the 2 downloads.

Thanks, and I hope I've made myself clear in what I'm trying to ask. I'm just not clear on what the update.zip file is that is included with the download, and if I'm required to download any additional files before proceeding if I want to use the CM7 custom ROM.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] RikkKeith:
I'm sporting Android 2.3.7 with Mod version Cyanogen 7.1.0 THANKS to you!

I only ran into one issue when trying to root. That was when doing the shell root it kept saying adb out of date...killing. That was because HTC Sync was running in the background. Once I killed that, everything went perfectly.

I was not sure when I downloaded CM7 ROM if i needed to change the file to update.zip. I left the file name as it was (update-cm-7.1.0-slide)and moved that and the Google Apps file to the root of my SD card, booted into CWM and installed the ROM.

Thank you again....if you read through the thread and follow the steps you can root and use a custom ROM on the MyTouch 3G Slide with Android 2.2.1

It's AWESOME!

[General Questions and Answers] Zaiaku:
OK I had at&t for a long time now but as ot late last year any upgrade to a phone will change a data plan. Fortunate i still have the $15 unlimited data plan on my phone. Gone from from mpx 220 to touch pro and baccflip. Currently using an unlocced Mytouch slide which works great but I have no 3G and I'm seriously missing it. If I go to any phone that's comparable to the Mythouch Slide that is actually from AT&T I would loose this plan. So is the any phones I could get that is comparable or better that wouldn't change my plan. Heard something along the lines that I could use a phone on the Orange Network that is from my canadian brothers up north and could actually do that but would like to get some confirmation or ideas from my fellow XDA'ers.
[General Questions and Answers] Richard1510:
They should not change your data plan. You should be grandfathered in. If they do that is BS but you could always by one. Look for the phone you want on here,ebay and craigslist.
[General Questions and Answers] sawvellra26:
I would recommend calling ATT again because everytike you speak with someone, there story seems to change. Maybe you'll get lucky and get on the phone with someone who will help you out
[General Questions and Answers] Zaiaku:
I agree is BS but it's true. Started like Sep of 2010. Changing the requirement of smartphones. Once it's added to the account it will automatically change your data plan.
[General Questions and Answers] Richard1510:
I would find a phone you like that works on ATT and buy it from someone. No way would I get it from ATT if that's the case.

You'll go back to stock 2.1 JFD with ODIN then re-root, re-install clockwork, then install the 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM of your choice- it's currently the only way back from CM7, and not too scary.

[P3300, MDA Compact III  upgrading etc.] 4HAN:
If you search the forums for windows mobile tips and tricks, you will see the most discussed topic is ‘How to change/update Windows Mobile Rom’. As far as the older versions of WM are concerned, i.e. WM 5, 6, 6.5 (I am not talking about WM 7), lots of custom Roms are available on internet. Most of them are not official (although Microsoft did released some updates), but people are more interested in those non-official custom Roms as they allow you to install, say WM 6.5 on the phone with WM 5 originally installed; with good performance and almost same speed.

So here is my guide on “How to upgrade Rom on HTC Artemis (P3300)/O2 XDA Orbit”, I have tried it on my O2 XDA Orbit and its working perfectly, just remember to follow step by step instructions.

1. Download these files: Rom to Install, USPL Files, and No Size USPL.

2. The name of first file will be HTC_P3300_WWE_3.13.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship_R.exe. Extract it and put the contents at an easily accessible place (e.g. on desktop in folder “1”).

3. Extract the second file (arte_uspl.rar) on desktop, a folder “arte_uspl” will be created, open it; you will see “start_uspl.exe”.

4. Make sure your phone is connected to your PC. Now click on start_uspl.exe, a DOS window will appear, don’t close it.

After 1-2 minutes, it will automatically close and new screen will appear.

Don’t click any button on that screen and don’t close it!

5. Now go to the Folder 1 (created in step 2), there you will find a file named RUU_signed.nbh, delete it.

6. Now go back to folder arte_uspl, copy the file RUU_USPL_signed.nbh and put it in Folder 1.

7. Now open ROMUpdateUtility.exe which is in Folder 1, same window will appear as mentioned in step 4 (Don’t close the previous window), now click next on new window opened and follow the instructions. At the end phone will reboot itself. Now you can close the previous window.

8. After reboot wait until your phone connects to the PC again. Now extract the last file (arteUSPL-nosize-cmon.rar), a folder “arteUSPL-nosize-cmon” will be created, copy RUU_Signed.nbh and put it in Folder 1 (and delete RUU_USPL_signed.nbh). Now click ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow simple instructions. Phone will reboot again.

9. Now your phone is ready to install any Rom, simply put the .nbh file in folder 1 (and delete RUU_Signed.nbh), click ROMUpdateUtility.exe, follow the instructions and the phone will reboot. And BOOM, your artemis now has a new rom! ;-)

10. At any step if there is any error, start the process again from step 3.

Special thanks to denstereo, for his guide. I updated my xda orbit’s rom and created this tutorial using his guide. Thanks man!

I have tested and it is working on my xda orbit/p3300, but if you are trying it on any other device and it works, do let me know!

Good Luck!
