HTC Droid Eris :: New Hboot For 2.1 Leaks
May 23, 2010
I have been messing with my eris. I held the power and send button and as usual it checked the leak file and asked if I wanted to update. At this time I noticed a list from one to four., one thing that was listed was bootloader and another was hboot My question would there be a way to get into the 2.1 leak file and some how switch the hboot and bootloader in it with the hboot and bootloader that is on the official ota file or some other jnoot or bootloader. Then convert it back to a zip file and reinstalling it like out was a v4 leak. Sorry if this was a stupid post but just trying to help leak users or devs brainstorm a little.

I found this on Android Central (thanks to IzelTokatl) and someone there did verify it worked for OTA 2.1 phones. I tried it on my leak version 3 phone and I got the Hboot error again. I'm thinking this does not bode well for phones with the leak as once Verizon releases the upgrade for download from PCD or HTC we still won't be able to use it until the Hboot problem is fixed. The following instructions for doing the downgrade to 1.5 are cut and pasted from the Android Central forum and I edited them for PC's: Download the MR2 Upgrade Eris ROM from verizon partner: personal Communications Devices
1. Unzip the file
2. Plug your phone into your PC.
3. Navigate to folder ADR6200_MR2_Upgrade
4. Run .exe file in the folder (RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.17.605.1_release_signe d_with_driver.exe)
5. follow on screen instructions.

Hey everybody, I've looked for an answer on here, but to no avail. I tried to root my replacement Eris with 1.5, and HBOOT 1.47. Everything was going well until it got to the point of making a recovery, which for some reason, my phone wouldn't let me do. Infuriated and frustrated, I followed the steps to go back to 1.5 to a tee. However, I miss Vlingo so much, and i went to install the OTA 2.1, and it aborted the installation. I now have HBOOT 1.49.2000, so does my phone basically think I have the 2.1v3 leak, or am I just flat-out screwed? Done multiple factory resets, etc. and they haven't helped either

Ok this may possibly be the dumbest question asked, but how do you tell what your Hboot is? I see people saying that with 1.49 you can not root, but I rooted my phone and for some reason I remember seeing 1.49 on my phone somewhere but I can not remember.

I had a legitimate problem with my Eris that I sent it back for, but was still hoping to be able to root again when I got my replacement. Turns out it has HBOOT 1.49. Any one else encounter this?

I got my eris 2 weeks ago so 2.1, and it has hboot 1.49 (can someone tell me wht that is/means?) was already on it. I've found out that the hboot is why I can't root. Has anyone came up w/ a workaround yet?
I only want to root to be able to use the Eris as a hot spot for my itouch, so if there is another way to do that.

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?

While tested, and working on ECLIPS3's test device, this is a risky flash. Flashing this is at your own risk. If data or property loss occurs, its you fault, not mine.
The s-off spl allows you to use fastboot, and can make recovery of a "softbricked" device much easier.
Flash this like any other flashable file through recovery.

Just a quick question. Can an Eris with HBOOT version 1.46 be rooted? I know v1.47 can, but I couldn't find another mention of 1.46 (and search won't allow that search term).
This is for my fiancee's phone that I bought her back in November. She is willing to swap Eris's with me since both mine and the replacement I just got are v1.49.

Is it just me, or does it seem like it's been, what, a couple months since the last Froyo RC leak? Ok, maybe more like several days, but aren't you guys starting to jones hard for a newer 2.2 leak? When the first couple came out so quickly one after the other (along with the multiple new baseband versions) it seemed like it was going to be raining Froyo leaks (that sounds odd, doesn't it?) on an almost daily basis. I'm running well on BB Froyo v.2.0 plain vanilla, but looking forward to the next 2.2 RC to stumble out of Moto/Verizon's castle so we can continue the informal beta testing for them.

Now that it looks like the 2.2 SBF is online, how many people who are running leaks are going to upgrade to the 2.2 OTA that supposedly include an updated bootloader/kernel/radio? For those who did already, do you see any differences at all? Moto made some claims that the new one was better (i.e. that switching between wifi and 3g would be more seamless), but have people noticed differences? I guess I held out on upgrading to OTA because of the no SBF and the whole episode of the unlocked bootloader, but now should I consider upgrading? Would I lose any advantages of staying on the old boot loader?

Will the code cause a memory leak? Essentially I switch between various layouts in my application using setContentView(), and I have member variables of my activity that maintain references to various views (buttons/text views) on the layouts. Am I correct in thinking that if the activity class has a reference to a button and then changes layouts the layout wont be garbage collected because it will still hold a button reference? If this is the case, can I just null the button variable before changing layouts?

I bought an EVO off of Ebay about a week or so ago and just noticed my light leakage is getting pretty bad. I have sprints insurance on it so I was wondering a few things.
1. Will it be a pain to turn it in for a new phone, and what do I have to pay to do so...I'm guessing they will send me a new one then I'll mail mine back to them>?
2. Would it be the smarter thing to do to wait just a little bit to see the new builds? I'm using a 0003 with a nova screen.

When start Activity A, I found the memory usage of application is about 5MB. Then start Activity B from A via startActivity. In Activity B, I created a thread, and traverse file system in this thread, after traversing completed, call finish() and to return to Activity A. At this time, I found the memory usage of application is about 8MB (GC is forced before check memory usage). How to find Where memory leaks? By the way, I checked the memory usage with DDMS.

I have a very simple application which has a problem with getting ListViews to be freed by the GC. i have a ViewGroup which has a ListView. When the page with the ViewGroup no longer has any references to it, and I force a GC, the ListView is not freed. The project in question is quite small and can be found at http://gabysoft.com/download/MemoryLeak.zip. If you run it, the first page has a button and a ListView (which has no items so you cannot see it). When you press the button it switches to a second page which has just a button. When you press the button on the second page, it creates a new ViewGroup and ListView and sets that as the current view. Thus, every time you switch pages, a new ViewGroup/ListView is created, and all references to the old one go away. Hence the old one should be GC'd. However if you switch views 20 times and then force a GC you will see that the ListViews are never freed (i.e. their finalize method (which is logged) is not called). Now here is the really weird part. This happens ONLY if I build my project using Eclipse. If I use Ant to build and install the project, the ListViews are all freed when I do a GC as you would expect. Why would the Eclipse version exhibit this behavior?

I was trying to find out were my apps memory was being leaked and was able to discover that when calling registerCallback(...) it would lead to a memory leak after a screen orientation change. What could be some possible things that are causing the leak? I've tried many things. And I do have a unregisterCallback(..) call.

I've read that it is a mistake and a source of memory leaks in Android application to keep a long-lived references to a Context.
But I don't understand if it is ok to create an class that looks like this one:
CODE:..........
And call it from an Activity:

Any user friendly android app which can effectively show which apps cause memory leaks on a phone?
I can only find developer tools to detect memory leaks within apps like Eclipse MAT. Sadly I'm not a developer so I would rather prefer just a list of apps to uninstall and not the exact cause of memory leak within a specific app.

I'm writing a widget. Currently, I'm have a simple ImageView, and calling RemoteViews.setImageViewBitmap(). I'm using a service to do the updates.
I thought it might be a good idea to reuse an existing RemoteViews instance, so I'm only querying it the first time around, and subsequently simply call setImageViewBitmap() with the new image.
This works well initially, but after some time I first start getting "!!! FAILED BINDER TRANSACTION !!!" errors, and later, an OutOfMemory exception.
Simply creating a new RemoveViews instance every time works flawlessy on the other hand. I'm just curios why that would be, any ideas?

Is there anyone that can give me step by step instructions on how to use hboot to install files from the root directory on my sd card. Ex.
This is what I did: I downloaded Clockworkmod 2.5.0.5, renamed the Clockworkmod zip to PB31IMG.zip, and placed it on the root of my SD card. Power-off, and boot into HBOOT (pressing the down vol+power button).
Then I downloaded Superuser 2.3.6.1 and place it on the SD card, use Clockworkmod Recovery and choose "Install .zip from SD" option.
Restarted my phone, and there's Superuser."
I have tried going through hboot and never see these files once I have installed them on the SD card.

I have read conflicting things, so I come to the experts. My phone is on hboot 0.77 - is this OK to install the OTA 2.2? I have read that 0.77 may send the phone into an endless boot loop if you install Froyo.

What does boot into hboot mean? Is it just powering off the phone then holding down the volume button and press power? If so then can someone explain to me when I download a called PB31IMG.zip and put it into my sdcard then boot my phone up it does not say anything about an update. For instance, I want to update my radio from 1.00.03.04.06 to 2.15.00.07.28.
