HTC Eris :: Amon_RA 1.6.2 Custom Recovery Trackball Not Required
Nov 8, 2010
we've seen lots of reports of people whose Erises (Erii?) have or are starting to have trackball issues and are unable to properly navigate through Amon_RA's custom recovery. Well, I've been trying to figure-out how to tweak Amon_RA's custom recovery to work without relying on the trackball. Anyway, after a lot of thrashing about, and with some sage guidance from Amon_RA, I was able to modify and recompile Amon_RA's 1.6.2 Eris custom recovery to allow an alternate set of keys to be used in lieu of having / needing to use the trackball--not just for scrolling, but for selection / confirmation! I left-in the support for using the trackball so that it will work either way. Here's the new, alternate key mappings:

I went to flash a zip in recovery tonight, (specifically the stock keyboard zip for xtrrom 4.6, but that's beside the point) booted into recovery successfully, and I noticed my trackball isn't working at all! It would let me select reboot now, but thats it. Trackball is working fine once it reboots into normal mode, but it is completely useless in Recovery. Is it permanently like this or is it just a minor glitch I can fix with a few things.

First off let me say that I was wrong about this issue. Its not an issue with Easy root it is just something built into android. So I apologize to anyone I argued this subject with but specifically Patch. Its also not an issue with rom manager. This applys to users that after flashing a custom recovery they can boot into it once but the next time you try to boot into recovery it has reverted to stock.
This mostly happens to users of easy root or users that use my guide for rooting using Linux
So for the fix.
Download this file and place it in the root of your sd card.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7223192/install-recovery.sh
Download Terminal Emulator from the market. The one by the dev Jack Palevich.
Open it and type the following commands.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
dd if=/sdcard/install-recovery.sh of=/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
chmod 550 /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
sync
after that just flash the custom recovery of your choice and you should be good to go.
I tested this on my phone and another user tested it for me and it worked for both of us. If anyone has an issue let me know. This issue is so sporadic that its hard to have people test the fix.

I am currently on my second Eris and I am having problems with my trackball not responding and something screwy with my camera not saving my pictures.
Right now I would rather pay to downgrade to another phone like a BB or even pay full retail value for a completely different Droid because I am afraid if they send me another Eris it is just going to break again.
If I call VZW and talk to them, will they send me another Eris that will most likely to break or will they send me a D1 or an Incredible?
I love my Eris but i just can't use it anymore and i feel like i will keep having problems if they keep sending me refurbs.

As if punk.kaos didn't already have his hands full with his Froyo updates, he started working on this: [RECOVERY-BETA] Eris Multiboot recovery hack - xda-developers Apparently, its a (very early) multi-boot for the Eris...very interesting and very cool. Got other questions? Visit his thread (above) over on XDA...

I can't seem to figure out if it's possible to switch back to CWM from drelisdee's amon_ra custom recovery. I assumed it would be as simple as to "flash" recovery from within ROM manager, and it would switch back, but apparently I was wrong since I can't seem to get it to reboot into clockworkmod's recovery interface.

Does anyone think that this external battery would work on the Eris for an extra battery? It has the same connection. DealExtreme: $12.99 1800mAh USB Rechargeable External Battery Pack for HTC Touch Diamond.

Anyone else deal with this, I will use it like 30 seconds prior, lock the screen and go to pick it up and nothing, I have to pull the battery and reboot. Happens a couple times a month maybe, usually happens when I am actually trying to do something. I am currently running on Nonsensikal 8.8 but it did it on Ivans 1.0 and Nonsensikal 7.5 as well. It may have done it on the stock 2.1 rom as well, but I cannot remember. It seems to happen more often now that it is on Froyo though.

It can't seem to play a video smoothly without pausing. Slows my phone tremendously when videos are playing. Is there a specific format required or something?

This is my third Eris replacement, all have had the silent speaker bug. This one has it as well, but now this one has the continuously scrolling left trackball even while not plugged in, making the phone unusable. I have an Incredible ordered, but until that arrives whenever it decides to, I'm stuck using an old LG Chocolate. Any ideas on this? I have had nothing but bad luck with my replacements. Almost wish I could have the original one back, which only had silent speaker intermittently.

I went to go update mine and my girl's ROMs yesterday. Did mine with Tazz's new 2.0, and I'm loving it. I went to do hers as well and when I get into the main menu the trackball doesn't scroll up or down. It works fine when the phone is in operating mode. She is running CELBfroyo. Any suggestions? I cannot scroll around to do a wipe and flash a new rom...

Here's my problem, on my Eris, I recently flashed Kaosfroyo, and now when I have a notification, it blinks the trackball not the LED. Is there a way to make a global setting to use the LED for any notification that's not on going? I'm rooted, obviously, so I'll try almost anything.

My eris's trackball is now the same color as the body of the phone. I'd really like to clean the dirt off of it. What could I use to clean the trackball?

I know this is possible on the Nexus One and I was wondering if it is on the Droid Eris. It would be the coolest thing to have like a green trackball

I've had my Eris for a good while now and just started to have some problems. The other night, I tried to flash a new rom and can't move my trackball in the Amon Recovery menu. I have read that on here and there are some other issues involving that.
Secondly, I was just using my phone today and noticed that when at my home screen, my phone would just slide to the left 2 screens. The trackball would move by itself. When I'm in my browser the trackball moves by itself also. It just scrolls down to the next link.
When I type my cursor jumps all over the place. If I leave the cursor sit for a couple seconds the cursor jumps to the left to the beginning of the message.
I am rooted usng Froyo 34 and updated on Android 2.2

Had a couple of unsuccessful attempts at flashing kaosfroyo-v31.zip that I got from the xda forum. Thought I would try flashing v30 first, then flashing v31 on top of that, but when I got to the amon bootloader, my trackball would not scroll down.
I want to call Verizon and get my second replacement phone sent out, but I'm afraid of sending this phone in and they hitting me with a $300 bill because of it being rooted. Anyone have any ideas on how to unroot without using the trackball?
Seems like a lot of people are having trackball issues with the Eris. I've had to get my wife's Eris replaced because of trackball issues. Wish they would send me an Incredible or something else other than this Eris. I only rooted to get what they had in the first place.

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.

Is there a way to change the sensitivity of the trackball? I know this was a feature on my BB, but I have not seen a way to do it on the Eris.

I'm currently running 2.1v2. i was wondering if i go in to the store and just complain about my trackball maybe i could get a replacement? i mean how thoroughly do they check the phone? If i could get a replacement with 1.5 that would be nice. i could root. opinions..?

Trackball Transplant - xda-developers
I know not everyone here is a member at xda, so I figured that at least a few people on here have eris's that they are willing to void their warrenty on (even more than they alread have with leaks and rooting )This isn't with an LED, it is the actual trackball. Seems pretty easy, anyway, thought I'd share.

I am so confused on notifications. This is what I see happening by default.
SMS/MMS - Trackball
Exchange Email - Trackball
Gmail - Green LED
Google Talk - Green LED
Missed Call - Green LED
In my Settings --> Sound & Display --> Notifications --> Notification flash ... everything is checked for Trackball.
I'm curious is to how this is working for everyone else. I wish the trackball would only light up for SMS/MMS.
