HTC Droid Eris :: Leak Version On Rooting / How It Works?
May 16, 2010
I know I'm on ver2. But is it the root? When I downloaded it there was also a recovery that I did not use. Did that screw me for root? Or am I just thinking wrong? Do we know if someone is working on rooting the leak versions? I know a lot of questions. My phone works really well on ver2 and I am afraid to go to ver3 and get the crap everyone else is dealing with, but root would be nice. Now that I have had the time to learn about it and how it works.

What are they? Does the version 2 get rid of all the bugs? What bugs still remain if so?

What are the differences and is it worth the bother to re-flash to 2.1v3 leak from 2.1v2 leak? (since it appears that none of us leakers are going to get the OTA)

I think everyone who upgraded should test this out right away. I was taking pictures last night with my flash, and I noticed that even though the LED comes on, it turns off again the instant before the shutter closes. This problem is reproducible 100% of the time, and happens whether the picture is taken with the shutter button or the new touch button. This has basically rendered the flash useless.

I'm currently on my third Eris. My first had the silent bug extremely bad and I upgraded to 2.1v3 instead of OTA, so I got a new one. The 2nd one was perfect at first; it came with 1.5 stock, but soon I found that it had a broken trackball and clearly HTC didn't fix that before shipping it to me. So after further complaining I got a 3rd Eris, which works fine although it shipped with 2.1, which I suspect is really 2.1v3 not OTA, but no definite way to check. I've recently decided I wanted to root my phone, but discovered that my HBOOT version is 1.49 which from what I read can't be rooted? My question is is it possible to a root a phone on this HBOOT version and also does this mean that I'm probably running 2.1v3?

My phone isn't rooted yet but I want to do it. I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.1 via the system upgrade that Verizon ousted out to all Eris users a few weeks ago. Here are my questions:
Is OTA = over the air?
Is my 2.1 rom the one that is referred to as 2.1 OTA?
Is there a well documented procedure out there for rooting my version 2.1 rom phone?

I have not tried it yet, but thinking of going for it, rather than getting rid of the bloat through terminal commands. ADDED: Please read the top of the thread in the link. You will need a 2.X radio and s-off through unprovoked forever edit: new location for it: ttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766223. Then again, I may wait for adrynalyne to add usb tether and other goodies.

I recently updated (OTA) my phone to 2.1 and was experiencing the silent call bug so I called and had a replacement sent to me.My question: How can I tell if the replacement is the OTA 2.1 or the leaked 2.1 since it came with it installed already?

Posters with this question are all over the place. Thought I'd start a thread to sere if anyone with a leaked version had gotten the official ota. I'm on v.2 and nada.

I am running v3 and my wife has the OTA. The OTA is very buggy when compared to my v3. Can I flash her phone to v3? The main bug/problem with her OTA is that the phone constantly puts itself into silent mode. I did not believe it (I thought she was hitting the rocker) until i witnessed it happening. BTW a reset does not fix the issue.

I went to Verizon on my lunch break, and got assisted by the actual store supervisor, which was pretty cool. He was a blackberry guy, and didn't seem to know much about Android. Really nice though. He basically had me do basic diagnostics, but when i explained that it must be hardware in my phone not working since my facebook contacts where not syncing correctly. I also complained about dialer lag, and that i shouldn't have to reset my phone every month to keep it fast.
Now, it's clear that I was running the 2.1 leak. When he compared my settings to the ones on the store's Eris, he goes, "Are you running any other hack or anything on the phone?" I pleaded innocent and was like, "No...I just got the OTA from you guys. I don't know why they're different." He didn't once check the phones "About" section, and seemed to care more about fixing the problem. He had a "tech" look at it, but they couldn't figure anything out.
After 45 minutes or so, he says that if I can show him Facebook syncing on the stores Eris with -my- account, he'd swap the phone as defective for a referb. I did, and he did it, no questions asked. Now, back on 1.5...I also now have a pretty brand new phone. (No scratches or anything). I will say...in the time i had the phone with me at work till getting home now....1.5 is horrible. Oh. My. God. Thank GOD I flashed the leak when I did...the phone is horrible. So, project for tonight is Root. Wish me luck.

I don't know how to get my paid for copy of mybackup pro back on my phone after the install of the 2.1 leak. In the app store I only see the free version and I downloaded this and restored my other apps.

I have purchased the tapatalk pro version. I updated to 2.1 and I cannot get it in the market and I could not back it up because it is marked as private. Am I out of luck until 2.1 is released officially so it will show up in the market or is there any way to just get the apk? I did pay for it so Im not trying to get a free file, but if anyone has a way to get it to me I can provide my recept that was emailed to me to show im honest.There were a few other programs, none paid, but ones I liked that dont work with 2.1's market. gUnit and tv.com for instance. All in all I think since those are the only bugs have personally seen in this software all is good

For me it is the new twitter client. There is an article on gizmodo about it today and it looks nice. But only for 2.1. I might wait another week or two though.

I have the 1.49.0000 V1 Leak of 2.1 on my Eris. I am sorry.I really don't want to look through all the threads to find the answer to this. Can I update to V3 so I can receive OTA updates? I also cannot access certain things such as HTC widgets. How do I do this? Any support would be greatly appreciated!

I have the leak 2.1v3 and am interested in rooting, so that I can get rid of the apps that HTC and Verizon put on my phone.Can I root? Is it decently easy to root? What are the steps to root?I did update my phone from 1.5 to 2.1v1 to 2.1v2 to 2.1v3, so even though I'm not a real technical guy,I was able to install the leaks.

Given that leak V3 and the official 2.1 are feature-wise identical, is there any benefit to going to V3 of the leak vs downgrading to 1.5 and going official 2.1? It seems people here are going either way.

I upgraded to the second 2.1 leak for the eris and my usually always shows that I have one or two bars of signal strength but when I go to about phone it shows that i have -89db signal strength, is that good and is there just something wong with the bar signal indicator or is that a bad signal and if so how can I increase my signal? I already tried using the *228 number thing to update my prl but that didn't help. Before the leak i would have three or for bars

I've noticed a couple of bugs in the stock keyboard for the 2.1 leak: In portrait mode, if you overshoot the space bar, and press underneath it, it causes the keyboard to close. And in landscape mode, if you press the grey area to the right of the "L" key, it does the same. Now that I verbalize it, it seems more like the sensitivity areas for the home/menu/return/search keys may be a little larger than they were in 1.5, maybe even extending nearly into the keyboard. I notice myself getting kicked out of typing a lot more due to this than I did with 1.5. I've tried recalibrating but that doesn't seem to help.

I have noticed that on the new leak 2.1 that my Awake Time is almost identical to my Up Time... Its a couple of hours off but i really dont have many apps running... Weatherbug Elite (Updating every hour) Gmail Mail (Exchange - as email arrives) But the phone was pretty much on the charger from 10pm to 6am so not sure what is causing it to be awake.. so out of the 19 hours Up Time - 8 of them I was sleeping.

I have currently been testing the method of rooting leaked 2.1 phones. There was a little discussion running in that thread (and other threads, I've found) that poses the question whether or not the RUU is the same as 2.1 Leak v3. The RUU I'm using is referenced here: [ROM] Official HTC Desire RUU ROMS and OTA Update URLs - xda-developers - which can be found here:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Desire/RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed _with_driver.exe
Leak 2.1 v3 I'm using is referenced here: HTC DROID Eris OS 2.1v3 download -- which can be found here: PB00IMG.zip. So, the process that I've been using to root these phones involves flashing the RUU OTA onto the phone. With some help from user bftb0, I have taken the time to do the analysis. How did I get system.img and boot.img off of the RUU OTA, you might ask? Well, after I flashed the RUU OTA onto the phone, I went through the Incredible/Slide root method to root the phone I'm working with (without changing any phone settings within Sense).
After getting adb to recognize the device in recovery, I took the steps necessary to flash Amon_RA's recovery. I then took a Nandroid backup of my phone and extracted the system.img and boot.img files off of the SD card where the Nandroid backup was stored. Then, I used unyaffs to unpack system.img into 2 separate directories, and used split_bootimg.pl to unpack boot.img. So, for split_bootimg.pl I did this, starting at the directory where each respective boot.img file is:

Has anyone with the 2.1 leak gotten the official update yet? I did an update I saw on youtube last week and its ok, but my phone is a little bugy. I really want to make sure that I can get the official one and maybe stop some of the problems.

I have been running the old leaked version of 2.1 on my phone since the day it was leaked. Today I installed the "new" leak, and now when I restart my phone I get an error saying, "the process com.htc.bg has to close due to an unexpected error." Then it makes me force close the process. My questions are, 1) does anyone know what this process is for? and 2) How do you suggest I fix this issue? Should I re-download from a different mirror? I have already tried re-flashing the zip that I have on my sd card.
