[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Everything you indicated is completely consistent with some underlying problem in the /system partition - most likely due to many (NAND flash memory) pages being marked as bad.

This could be due to actual memory (hardware) fault conditions; however, if the problem occurred during a flashing operation, the more likely culprit is a low-level (kernel) bug/race condition that causes NAND flash memory pages to be marked as bad. (We've seen it on several-to-many phones; sometimes the use of a ClockwordMod recovery was implicated, but there really is no clear understanding of what causes it)

The only solution that I am aware of is to run the ErisMTDNuke_v0.9 zip (from a root-privileged recovery boot). So, (obviously) to do this you need a custom recovery running.

Because you are (for the moment) precluded from successfully writing the /system partition, you don't have any hope of installing a recovery via a booted & rooted OS. The only way you are going to get a rooted recovery running is through an installation of the S-OFF bootloader, and follow that up with a fastboot (boot or flash) installation of Amon_RA's recovery (or one of the Trackball-free/optional versions).

Because of version checking by the HBOOT/PB00IMG.zip installation process, the only hope of getting the S-OFF bootloader installed is via SoSicWitiT's trick of replacing the "rom.zip" file with one of the RUU installers.

It worked for a couple phones; for your phone, I think it is your last and best hope.

Steps (this is an outline, you need to fill in the gaps, all the info is in one of the XDA Eris forums):

1) Flash ROOT PB00IMG.zip file using SoSicWiTit's RUU/"rom.zip" replacement trick

Note: the system partition flash will (also) fail here - but the HBOOT flash to S-OFF might succeed. (If you can't get S-OFF, then stop. No joy.)

2) Get ErisMTDNuke_v0.9.zip onto your SD card, and a decent Eris ROM. (verify checksums)

3) boot (or flash) a custom recovery from your PC using fastboot

4) Flash the MTDNuke.zip file in recovery.

5) Shut phone off, cold boot into recovery, Flash your ROM, and be happy.

Thank you bftb0 for help me

I have three notes

1 - When he used the root rom my Eris gives me a MESSAGE

The Old Version

And nothing happens

HBOOT remains as it is:

PB00100 XC SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-1.49.0000 (0010000)

Becuase main Version 2.36.605.1 installed

I need root rom with main Version 2.36.605.1 or better

2 - Eris mode are available :

RUU mode = yes

Normal mode = no

HBOOT mode = no

FastBoot mode = no

Recovery mode = no

BootLoader mode = no

3- My english is bad

Thank you bftb0 for help me again

Thank you "doogald" .

Thank you "bftb0" .

Thank you "scotty" .

Thank you "scary alien" .

Thank you "erisuser1" .

Thank you "Stonent" .

And thanks for all.

My problem fixed with 5 steps:

1- Flash hboot version 1.51.0000.

2- Unlocked hboot.

3- Create zip file (recovery.img + android-info.txt ) with zip program default in windows 7 not with winrar, rename file for example recovery.zip .

recovery.img = recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

android-info.txt =

CIDNUM:11111111
modelid: PB0010000
cidnum: VZW__001
cidnum: UTSI_001
mainver: 2.42.0.0
hbootpreupdate:12

Then flash this new file (recovery.zip) in RUU mode.

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash zip [COLOR="DarkGreen"]recovery.zip[/COLOR]
fastboot reboot-bootloader

4- Install "ErisMTDNuke_v0.9.zip" from the recovery.

1- Recovery
2- wipe data/factory reset
3- wipe dalvik cache
4- Flash zip from sdcard ([COLOR="DarkGreen"]ErisMTDNuke_v0.9.zip[/COLOR])
5- Install any rom (goto 5 step)

5- Install any rom for example "kaosgingerbread-v8.zip" from the recovery.

1- Recovery
2- wipe data/factory reset
3- wipe dalvik cache
4- Flash zip from sdcard ([COLOR="DarkGreen"]kaosgingerbread-v8.zip[/COLOR])
5- Reboot system
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scotty1223:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Ammar-y,

Excellent! You are to be congratulated, your efforts paid off. I'm glad everybody's contributions were of help to you.

It's been a while since your original problem with the Eris occurred - did you get a new phone in the meantime?

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
Wow, that's great. Congrats.

All of your thanks should be directed to bftb0, scotty1223 and ScaryAlien - they did all of the "heavy lifting" in that thread. I'm glad to have done my very small part.

And thanks to you for reporting what worked for you. I'm glad that we finally have some tools for phones with the latest OTA that have this problem.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammar-y:
Thank you("scotty1223", "bftb0" and "doogald") because you're glad.

And thank you for help me and help anyone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammar-y:
You are the key to my success, thanks to this I said in the beginning.

Edited my post , Thank you all of me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
@Ammar-y

I noticed something in your instructions (step 4, part 5).

There is no need to reboot after flashing the MTDNuke_v0.9.zip file - you should be free to proceed immediately afterward to flashing whatever ROM you want to install - in the same session of the (custom) recovery.

Actually, rebooting at that point would just hang the phone - because the /boot, /system, and /data partitions are completely empty.

But that doesn't cause any trouble - as you found out :)

PS. bftb0 == erisuser1 :)
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammar-y:
True

I have never tried to restart !!

bftb0 == erisuser1 ok

1- In my touchscreen some points not working.

2-I need active mobile number in my network (not verizon)

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ammar-y:
And thanks
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That is a hardware problem, not a software problem. You can convince yourself of this by simply flashing a different ROM (make a backup of your current ROM first!), and you will see that the same screen locations are involved.

A replacement digitizer assembly costs about $20 - $30 off of eBay (but I'm not sure how useful that is to you in your location.) The repair is tedious, but not terribly complicated - the existing digitizer is *glued* to the case, and you need to be careful removing it so that nothing gets broken. You need a T5 torx screwdriver and a case opener - a couple of other tools are helpful too (tweezers, an "Exacto" knife, etc). A thin, stiff piece of plastic works for the case opener - I used a guitar pic.

Before you go to all that trouble, though, I would find out if your local CDMA carrier can support your phone (that is, "flash" it).

-never mind- already see I was wrong, didn't read the question properly, sorry!
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
Well none of the previous posts are 100% correct, but pretty close.

OP = Original Poster ... it's mainly used on forums and other messaging boards to label the guy who started the thread. For example "OP is a f**" is an often used expression to express disagreement with the OP by the other members of the community, for various real or not so real reasons, such as repeating topic, stupid topic, or non-suggestive topic titles e.g. "pls help im noob", "why my phone is borken", "stupid question", etc...

I hate the word OP..

Kids use it for overpowered in cod, people use it as "other post", "opening thread" etc..
[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
In gaming world (not just cod), yes it means overpowered, but since we are on a forum, I would think he meant the other meaning. All acronyms have lots of meanings, you have to find the right context.

See list at link above.

Thunderbolt not listed! Lets hope the dev team shows up HTC yet again. :)
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
I'm not surprised, considering we *just* officially got Gingerbread. I'm sure ICS roms will pop up within days of its release though.

It will be interesting to see what they do with Sense on top of ICS though.
[Thunderbolt General] squeakyl:
even if it was listed for early 2012, we'd never get it before 2013 anyway
[Thunderbolt General] dajogejr:
meh...who cares.

The Devs are 100 steps ahead of OEM anyways...

Most of us probably ran GB within a month of owning the phone IF you got it at release...and now OEM just put it out.

I'm sure ICS from OEM will be bloated anywho, I'd rather have a fit and trim ROM.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
yeah who gives a crap about OEM anything anyway. it's all about what the devs give us.

even if i/we move up to the rezound or whatever, we're just going to root it a.s.a.p. and load the first ics rom we get a hold of.

if you're even concerned about getting an OEM anything then what are you doing on XDA.
[Thunderbolt General] con247:
I don't understand why people complain about their gingerbread upgrades and such. My CDMA Desire was released on US Cell in August 2010. We didn't get Froyo until Feb 2011. We still don't have the Froyo kernel source so there are no unofficial gingersense ports.

The GSM Desire was released in March 2010, got Froyo over the summer of 2010 and got gingerbread earlier this year. Talk about unfair.

The CDMA one was released 5 months later and got support for it dropped about 6 months after release.

This is why I am switching to verizon for the Rezound.
[Thunderbolt General] ponyboy82:
I think it's mainly because it was a "flagship" phone and was promised to be getting GB from launch but it took roughly half of a year, and was buggy upon its first release, while other phones had received GB already. That, plus people like to complain ;) ... it's also kind of the nature of the smartphone biz, there's a shiny new one coming out every few weeks, so it makes things appear to get outdated more quickly.
[Thunderbolt General] project.self:
yeah I saw this earlier today and got a little discouraged but then I realized that once ICS gets released, there will be much better ROMS than HTC's stock one
[Thunderbolt General] Gamer_Girl:
This shows just how much we NEED the devs!
[Thunderbolt General] z71kris:
Yeah I prolly wouldn't run an official ICS for my bolt now that I am rooted, so far all the roms I have ran (3 now) have been better than stock, but I am lucky person for what I have seen and not had any issues with my phone even stock.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
I'm running the rooted, debloated stock rom and it works just fine. Most htc widgets/ apps are either frozen or uninstalled and MS 3D is on top. Also using Imoysen's kernel.

Don't know how true, but sounds interesting:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Jade Eyed Wolf:
The GSM -hardware- has ALWAYS supported the ability to make and receive regular GSM phone calls and SMS/MMS. The question isn't whether or not the GTab/ICS -can- support GSM calling; they always have been able to.

The question is, will carriers bully the manufacturers into requiring that the GSM phone calling abilities of tablets be disabled or not. American carriers succeeded in that with the original Tab. (The P1000 could make and receive calls everywhere in the world except for the US versions; having a single device, and thus a single subscription, is bad business for carriers...)
