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

In our alltel contract, all my family lines get unlimited data for $40 a month. My parents are looking to upgrade their regular phones (for free) and I was going to recommend the eris (from amazon) to them. I have heard some talk of not having very good signal and mention of some bugs and want to know how much truth there is behind these (especially signal) or if they were lemons, etc. if it matters all my parents would do is call/text (obviously), email sync, and maybe browse the web every once in a while. Bugs with, say face book, wouldn't matter.

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.

So I am trying to root my phone and the trackball will not click. Knowing there is a known issue with the trackball, I go to VZW and they send me a new one, except that one has touch screen issues. Is there any way to get the trackball to click again? Tried basic troubleshooting, cleaned it etc.

This is a call to arms for anyone still running 1.5 on their eris. We (developers) need people to capture the update process using wire shark (or an equivalent). This is needed for a new root attempt, but sadly all of the Dev's have already updated to 2.1 so we can't do this.
First go here and download the RUU:
http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/Eris%20MR1.zip
Next you need to go to verizon's website and login to your account. Click "Suspend/Resume Service" and suspend your phone. You can resume service on the phone after you are done here with no penalties or charges.Please follow these directions, taken from the first root thread.

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?

Am I right to say that you cannot use an app like apps2sd to install apps on sd card without ROOT?

The answer is probably no, but is there a way for non-root users to customize their notification bar. Maybe change the color of the bar or different battery or signal strength notifications.

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?

The topic says it all. I love 2.1 on the Droid Eris, but miss the little green guys that peek out at you and the sound they make during boot up. Any way to bring them back on a 2.1 setup without root?

yesterday i read this on the rollback thread. "Anywho, with the Desire root method being released tomorrow, (It'll probably work on the Incredible too! ) that gives us a closer chance to rooting the Eris leaked 2.1." just wondering if any of the devs have looked into it and if so what progress has been made?

Here is the scenario:
Motorola Droid - Original
1. Rooted 2.1, then
2. OTA Stock Update to 2.2, then
3. Seem to have lost root, However - I still have the Superuser Permissions Icon.
I use Barnacle for WiFi Tether - I get a "Permission Denied" error when I try to start the application. I also went into the terminal emulator and tried an "su" which also gave a permission denied response. I tried "sudo" and also got permission denied response. Others have told me this is common with this progression of events. However, How do I now ROOT 2.2 in this scenario?
