HTC Droid Eris :: How To Root Phone / 2.1 Update?
Apr 14, 2010
So i found this link from theunlockr.com which shows you how to root your eris and put 2.1 on it. I want 2.1 but i am not sure about the root. Any cons to rooting? Will i still receive ota updates? Anything i can do with rooted eris that i can't do with non-rooted that would make the phone a lot better? I don't want to overclock it i am just looking for more options with the phone. Will i lose all my contacts and apps by doing this? Can i use different apps like the ones the moto droid can use but i can't because i am on 1.5?

The link for update.zip to root your phone is a dead link. Can someone please post an updated link so I can download this file and any other files I need to root.

I remember there used to be a thread on the website that showed you only having to use an update.zip file to root the stock 2.1. Does anybody know where the thread is or how to do it?

So i had my Droid Bionic (Verizon) rooted a few months back. A few weeks ago, there was an update for android firmware. I went from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4 without realizing I had to un-root my phone before.
The night I updated, my battery just so happened to run out in the middle of the night (the update was done in the morning, so the update process was obviously unaffected). I woke up to AP Flashboot Flash boot error. This was temporarily fixed with me just loading the fastboot menu and selecting Normal Powerup.
But now i would like to re-root my phone, and i was wondering if it is safe to just straight-up root it with my comp. And if im not specific enough, just let me know what information i have to include.

I installed the update manually as I was tired of waiting for it to come. Can I still root following the methods in stickies ?

Just wondering if the 1.5-2.1 root is worth switching phones with my girlfriend. Any and all opinions appreciated as usual, but please, only if you ACTUALLY have root .

I have the 2.1 leak, so I can't root....yet. I was wondering if, as root, the HTCLockScreen.apk could be removed. If it could be removed, would the stock android lock screen take over?

I recently rooted my droid eris and installed the sense-able2.0 custom rom. I was just wondering if I could delete the zip files out of the root directory after they are installed?

Not sure if there is a thread for this, but my wife has the Eris and declined the 2.1 update. She has not been prompted for the update since. I want to do the upgrade to her phone because it will fix some issues that she is having. I haven't gone to verizon yet but wanted to see if you guys know anything.

So if my phone becomes a paper weight after the OTA rolls out then Verizon did it on purpose right? You can't tell me they can't force the OTA to override the leaked version. I would think they would force all the phones to update to their version of the OS. Therefore, if my phone bricks after the OTA then they are just being jerks right?

I installed the 2.1 update twice yesterday, once on my phone, once on my the wifes.My phone is working perfectly, her is asking for a password to unlock.My question is what the password for my wifes phone is when I didn't set a password up for her. I set our phones up the same way, but hers requires a password.

I just got my update notice, but don't have 40% batter power. Can I run the update with the phone plugged in? Otherwise, I'll just charge and wait until morning.

Rather than waiting for an OTA update, it looks like you can manually update the phone through your PC.....but the catch is it factory resets your phone once it's done: Manual Update Instructions from your PC: DROID Eris by HTC

i havent been postin much but have been lurking hardcore cus of 2.1 and root updates. anyways before anyone else gets their 2.1 OTA, please do us all an altruistic favor
1)Deny the OTA update when the phone prompts you, dont worry you can manually get this later.
2)Install the SDK and ADB on your computer and run the command
