myTouch 3G Slide root is go! UPDATE
YEEESSSS!!! We all knew it was coming, but man, I have been waiting for this one for FAR too long. Eugene_373 (as he is known on Twitter and XDA forums) has finally achieved root on the myTouch Slide. Now many a current and future (like myself) myTouch users will enjoy all the freedom root has to offer; processor management, ROMs, nandroid, root-only apps… the list goes on. So how exactly is this going to work?
“… it’s the same Root method as the HTC Incredible… I Just added Su & fix the Script, Plus figuring out how-to get it to write to system…”
For the full instructions and download materials, hit up the XDA thread. After rooting a total of three different kinds of Android devices (G1, Cliq, myTouch 3G 1.2), I have to say rooting the Slide looks like it will be a breeze. I just have two questions, who will be rooting, and how many of you would like to see me do a video tutorial? Anyone?

UPDATE:
I mentioned doing a video tutorial video yesterday… The original XDA thread has that taken care of. Make sure to read along with the video the first couple times before you jump in.

@burton I plan on picking up a Slide this weekend. I've seen the original, albeit rooted, myTouch in action and I'm impressed with performance. I'd rather pick up the phone for free then explore paying out of pocket at a later time should the Galaxy S pique my interest.
A video tutorial would awesome! Ive only hacked a G1 and am planning on picking up the slide soon
Video tutorial please for newbies like me…Thank you!

Awsome..However, Need to show more detail! It really confusing….
After rooting the phone and successfully downloading froyo 2.2 and the google add on program.. everything is running great and i couldnt be happier… just one question… after i put the roms and add ons on my phone, can i delete the program from my memory card or must it stay on in order to run.. let me know asap!! Burn Xtreme
Is there anyway you can unroot it, just in case something happens wrong or if I don’t like it.
