Been trying to make Notification pull down transparent for the past few weeks now, all i keep doing is getting stuck in boot screen.

Seen most the tutorial post and how to info, but yet still stuck lol

I'm using JPM stock firmware. Could this be a problem with me trying most the tutorials?

Maybe one of you top developers could make a how to video for us beginners ;)

Hint hint. Kyrillos,The Dark Lestat and rudolf895

Any help would be very greatfull

Thank you

Easiest way: extract the files from framework-res.apk

Then modify the files you want.

Open the framework-res.apk with 7zip, and drag the images to the corresponding folders.

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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
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
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
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
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
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. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AnAm85:
Phone is not found and I get the CMD window but never a reboot. I really wanna root this phone with ease!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] kufudo:
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).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AnAm85:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
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)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] AnAm85:
Got a link? Wait, we are still talking about the Slide right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
I'm wondering if the person that started this thread is going to comment or help solve the problems going on? :(
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
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*
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Don't worry, I woke up on my own :P. 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?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
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.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Seannoxious:
I did some googling and figured that out as well but it says operation failed. I then searched some more and it said i needed to in shell run su first then remount in order to remake the directory not read only but i don't have superuser because it is not rooted. I am going to try the super one click root shell thing then brb. ANy other suggestions in the mean time?

EDIT: also the zip file in post 143 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12411425&postcount=143 needs to be added to the first page and to a couple other threads involving rooting this phone. It's absence everywhere else has created quite the headache for me and i imagine many others.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Seannoxious:
OKay so i tried this with superoneclick 1.7 and 2.1 in order to gain temp shell root with both rageagainstthecage and the other method. They seemingly worked flawlessly

I then opened up my cmd and ran adb shell tried the following commands with no luck.

In your app found in post 143 it shows everything working until it gets to opening it's own cmd prompt it tries to cd to /sqlite but it says it doesn't exist then tries to open .exploit and can't find it. Also, it gets to the fastboot mode by itself and i try to update ESPRIMG and it tries then says it's a previous version.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If exploid doesn't run then it won't work. Instead of mounting system try remounting data with "mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data" then remove.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Seannoxious:
tried that and still nothing.

Went and did this to downgrade to 2.1 though.

Just want to clarify for people who try to use this method...it works perfectly if you follow instruction carefully and yes you have to install all adb drivers first and secondly, make sure the sd card is good, meaning good quality ones like Sandisk and not the cheap copied ones..First it didnt work for me, then I replaced SD card and it worked perfectly, thanks

I think rooting and my phone hates me lol. Been trying for months now and I'm not a non computer savvy person....I know stuff pretty well but this takes the cake lol!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah it blocks all input while it's doing its thing so users can't accidentally screw it up. Can you tell me exactly what it said about exploid? Was it just ./exploid or something else? That incorrect password thing shouldn't happen,period. You are using the updated program I posted right? Replaced the old one with the newer one in the same folder? Phone in charge-only mode with usb debugging on?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
It was the ./exploid and I don't know why the password thing happened. Yep I updated like you said. Yep on the charge only usb debugging on. Gonna run it again so I can be 100% specific for ya. At least I'm learning something lol.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright get as much info as you can then ok?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Okay specifics for ya

1. unable to chmod exploid

2. types in ./exploid for password then the next line actually types the password but not in the area that is needed. The rest of it goes thru just fine.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
So does it wait the 30 seconds for you to turn your wifi on or does that skip for some reason?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Yes it does then continues on after that time passes
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Ok so it fails to chmod, types exploid and waits, then types exploid again? Alright open up a command prompt and type "adb devices" without the quotes, then when that's done type "adb shell rm -rf /sqlite_stmt_journals" and tell me what they both output please. I don't get why this isn't working it worked fine in the tests.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
adb is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

(For both commands)

This is the message I was recieving earlier and it wasn't doing this until now.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
That certainly explains why it isn't working. Did you have your tools directory in the PATH variable for windows? You could also just stick adb in windows\system32 to make it easier if you want.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
This is for the slide and here is the link for rooting the mytouch slide with no pc required http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896148
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Did what you mentioned and its still doing those 2 commands that I told you about. Is there anything I can check to maybe help you out? For the password it keeps typing ./exploid then it says wrong password. Then asks about wifi. Comes back and types in secretlol and goes from there. Then it goes to the menu where it says to do the volume up thing but the phone still doesn't reboot. I'm sorry I'm giving you so much trouble, I really am trying here.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
OH! I understand the password issue now, just got it *facepalm* sorry. Exploid is already running so it's on the second run-through even when in the program it types ./exploid for the first time. Does adb register in a standard command prompt window now though after moving it to system32? Sorry I forgot I told you to try again without restarting your phone, brainfart. I've got a few projects going on at once so I'm a bit scatterbrained at the moment. If it doesn't work after a reboot I have one more version that should fix all of this bs.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
adb still doesn't come up in the command prompt (same message as before) and yes I copied it over to system 32. Maybe its my computer acting stupid lol. *shrugs*
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Ok that's just...wierd,really it should work from system32 but oh well whatever. Did you restart your phone and try the program again yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
Giving up....

I did all that. Just forget it. I have the headache now. I've been going at this all day and nothing. Thanks for all the help anyways. I guess either I'll look into another rooting method or just stay stock and say screw it lol. Again thanks....
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Man i dont get it, it worked in every test before it was posted ><. I don't blame you for quitting but maybe come back to it later. I'm gonna post the other version I mentioned that should correct all this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] makbeezy:
I took the plunge and tried the last one you posted...now its stuck on reading devices for me. I'm just really gonna stop trying. I've been doing this since 2 something this afternoon (central time) and I have yet to even get it to act right. I hope it works for others cuz its not for me. Again thanks for the help. I'm gonna stick to stock a lil longer I guess. *shrugs* I'm bummed but hey I tried...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If it's stuck on "reading devices" that's an adb glitch, means adb froze :/
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Sorry for the double post but I actually found the issue. Here's the completely fixed version. You shouldn't have any more issues having the phone detected by adb. The first post should be updated as soon as xologist gets back on.

Here is the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K3NRG4T0
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ameedi600:
Great job I wish you the best
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Thanks, and I'd like to take this chance to say sorry for all the goofs. I removed the android sdk from my PATH variable to make sure things worked properly and they seemed to. The only issue I've seen with this latest version is that from time to time the "adb devices" command will double. That's not really a big deal though. Again, sorry for all the frustration and please enjoy the updated version.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrgodai:
i tried downloading it 3 times, each time it stopped download at exactly 74.7MB, anyone else got the problem?

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright, it is a pc-based tool but I'm glad you got it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] mrgodai:
finally got it rooted! awesome program, however the instructions for the first steps at the colorful Espresso pvt ship s-on screen isnt very clear, i had to try a couple times to get it start going.

here are the instructions from the program

1. Press VOLUME UP to apply the update.

2. After the update finishes press VOLUME DOWN to NOT power off the phone.

3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select recovery, the press POWER to select it.

4. The phone will reboot and show a red triangle. Press VOLUME UP + POWER to show the menu, ignore the error.

5. Press VOLUME DOWN to select "apply update.zip" and press POWER to select it.

6. After a moment you will boot into ClockworkRecovery.

I think it should be changed to

1. on the ESPRESSO PVT SHIP S-ON (colorful screen with droids at the bottom)

press power button to select BOOTLOADER

2. AT the HBOOT screen, after it verify the ESPRIMG.zip, Press VOLUME UP to apply the update.

3. After the update finishes press VOLUME DOWN to NOT reboot the phone.

4. Press VOLUME DOWN to select RECOVERY, the press POWER to select it.

5. The phone will reboot and show a red ! triangle. Press VOLUME UP + POWER to show the menu, ignore the error.

6. Press VOLUME DOWN to select "apply update.zip" and press POWER to select it.

7. After a moment you will boot into ClockworkRecovery.

also does the rooter install S-Off as well?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
ok i missed a step >.> everything else works ok and is fairly straighforward right?

Edit: didn't see that last bit, no it doesn't install s-off you still have to do that yourself.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
ok so i followed the instructions and at the recovery where i have to press power to apply the update it opens the package and tries to verify it but it says failed to verify whole-file signature and signature verification failed installation aborted
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
did the phone reboot on its own or did you have to do it manually? that will tell me a few things.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
on its own
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
that's wierd. reboot your phone into android and hook it up (yes unplug it and plug it back in) make sure usb debugging is on and tell me if your device is listed when it reads devices
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
yes it says List of devices attached

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] oneders65:
Do you use PC or phone only for this exe?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@oneders you run the exe from your comp

@yivkhar all i can really say is make sure its in charge only mode, debugging is obviously on. does it say "starting daemon" anywhere in the program?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
yes it said that
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
the command prompt comes up on its own and everything? do you see any errors that pop up when it's typing?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
the command prompt says he files are not recognized as an external command, internal command, operable program or batch file and after it checks esprimg it doesnt say anythig about pressing up to update
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
did you download from the first post?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
from the the link you posted from megaupload
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
try the one from the OP,it might work but it's wierd that you got a sig failure. did the esprimg.zip file flash ok?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
It didnt give me an option to press up to to update
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Did it scan for the file? If not redo the process and when you get to the bootloader press power,then it should scan.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
It scans and says no image then for the nbh it says no image or wrong image
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
ok delete the file from your sdcard and try again. make sure that exploid asks for a password the second runthrough
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] yivkhar:
ok the last time it tried to update but failed and said main version is older but ill delete it from the sd and try again
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
alright that means that the misc.img didn't flash for some reason which usually means there was an issue with exploid.
