I called up SIS. Simple solution: on HTC, go to Start > Settings > Connections tab; select USB to PC icon, then uncheck the box there.

Solved!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GXFX:
Hi guys , i was taking a look at a htc´s youtube video, when i found this :

Print-Screen

Video

Look at 9s !

You can see on the print (and the video ), that´s the people widget it´s like htc hd2 , but on my hero ,came only the "regular" people widget.

Take a look at :

www.htc.com/us/

Print-Screen

Where can i find this people widgets ?

regards;

gxfx
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt4mn:
You can find it in all the recent Hero ROMs. It's been in there since like Modoco 2.6 or so.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacCarron:
Isn't it available as a stand alone package? I'm quite happy with the stock rom, but the newer widget looks wicked!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] commodoor:
Like srt4nm said its on the modaco's rom. and its also in the newer version of hero ROM look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=602741
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GXFX:
thank you!

i tried , but it gave error 131 ? ID error :(

PS : My rom version is :

2.73.707.9 146733 CL#62020 release-keys

Isn´t newer ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razielu:
The alternative People widget [the one ocuppying the whole screen, not just half] also comes by default with stock firmware 2.73.405.38 and later, not only with custom ROMs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GXFX:
hm..

and what about error 131 ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Well, I've asked a mod to lock the other root status thread. It was getting kind of out of hand. After about page 80, people stopped looking at what we had done so far, and trying to help by putting ideas out that already failed.

This is what we know:

Fastboot is locked down in everything but oem-78 mode. You can get to this mode by typing "reboot oem-78" at an adb shell. Fastboot is essentially unlocked, allowing fastboot boot and fastboot flash, only the .img images we try to boot or flash NEED TO BE SIGNED.

Goldcards no longer allow non signed firmware to be loaded, only signed firmware with a different SID.

All known flashing methods require the .img files to be signed by HTC. We do not have the privatekey, nor do we have any way to decrypt the key as it is RSA. Meaning this is a NO GO.

All previous known exploits (asroot2, g1 telnetd, DROID update.zip method) have been patched. They won't work. And there isn't a way around this.

All the partitions except /data are mounted as read only. Meaning, without root access, there is NO way to modify them. In the init.rc file, they are mounted rw, and directly after that mounted ro. We can read and write to /data as we wish, but NOTHING important is here.

The only folder anything can run as root out of is /system/bin. Every other partition is mounted with the nosuid option, meaning code CANNOT be run as root. Simple enough. We can't run anything as the user root, or the group root.

Lets try to stay a little more on topic this time. Please don't let this become another 40 pages of complete crap. And please keep this thread about root access, any other problems should be posted in the appropriate forum.

Thanks, and lets get this root done!
[Droid Eris Android Development] R-T-B:
I'm currently comparing superboot.img in a hex editor to the vanilla boot.img for that phone so I can better understand what he did, and how. I'll see what I can turn up, maybe we can make one for the eris.

EDIT: It seems it's not going to be so easy. There's a lot of things changed. It appears he changed something at the top of the file right after the header, and then there is some sort of (SHA1?) hash right below that, but I don't know what it's calculated from. This is beyond my skills at the moment, I think.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Are any of the fields changed from the original boot.img show up in our boot.img? Chance of searching for each field in our img and replacing with possibly what he did?
[Droid Eris Android Development] wasupwithuman:
is it possible that the guy who made superboot has htc signature, or somehow decrypted it???? 8-O
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Yes I guess anything is possable but I think their is a better chance of monkeys flying out of my butt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
well i guess it was time to lock the other thread as some people could not play nice..... so i guess we will use this one now..... next idea anyone, and i am guessing jman will no longer be joing us, so it looks like we are on our own.
[Droid Eris Android Development] laxattack:
im ready to get this done what have we got so far?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
About 140 pages of failed attempts.
[Droid Eris Android Development] laxattack:
well i know that much i have been sitting back following from the begining now im ready to get my hands dirty, though i have no clue what im doing
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Ok, I missed something I think. Thats what I get for not refreshing every 10 seconds :) What happened to jman? Or is it better off that I not ask :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jmanley69:
I don't think I'll be following these threads anymore. I try to help you guys, but in the end some of you just don't appreciate the help.

I don't claim to be an expert, and I never promised anybody that I could root their phone. I simply have information to share that I think has brought you guys to a greater understanding of your phones and the Android system. Most of you are thankful, but I really don't need to be attacked personally in these threads that don't even have anything to do with my phone.

I'd like to thank the moderator for locking down the other forum, I'd also like to thank whichever moderator deleted the message that was quite insulting to me.... I only happened to see it because it came into my email. Yes, I subscribed to the thread via email to try to keep up with you guys and offer any help I could as quickly as I could.

I'm sorry guys, I wish you luck, but I just don't need to be berated in open forum like that for trying to help the Eris owners out, so I won't be keeping up with your rooting efforts.

There are a couple of you that have been very appreciative, and please feel free to PM me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Thanks jman and I understand, if I was in your shoes I would do the same and I reported that post almost right after it was posted hoping you would not see it. But I know for me I have a greater understanding of my phone and like I have said before Thank you very much for your help. It's a shame to see you go but we understand.

Binny
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
doubt this will help, its all that htc tech support would throw up at me.

http://developer.htc.com/

contains hero and adp but nothing about eris.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Thanks for sticking through with us. You've been extremely helpful since day one, and I would like to say thanks and basically say what Binny said above.

I haven't had a lot of time to follow the thread, but, I too, am happy that it was locked. Hopefully the Eris owners can regroup in a day or so after we all chill out. Sigh. Fingers are still crossed for root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsx-s newbie:
Has anyone been able to actually BOOT any of the images extracted from the rom.zip via fastboot in oem-78 mode? If so, and you could post how, I might have access to an image with root access. I've tried repeated times to perform "fastboot boot recovery.img" but it sends it and then sticks on "booting..." I have moved forward with the RUU at this point, but the device never actually boots into the img.

Unfortunately, I cannot not upload the image due to my job.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsx-s newbie:
Also, if anyone can help with goldcard downgrading, I might be able to downgrade to an old version with root access. My downgrade continues to fail due to the bootloader version being too high. I created the goldcard per the appropriate thread and it appeared to work as the Cell South thread indicated, but still no dice on the downgrade.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
If your gold card is made right it should work.... are you putting the .zip on you gold card and renameing it PB00IMG.zip?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsx-s newbie:
Yes, but it still fails with error 43, I believe. "Main version check"
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Did you run the simlock option in the bootloader, and it passed
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsx-s newbie:
Yes. Perhaps goldcard doesn't work on this device like it's supposed to.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
*#*#776426#*#* works on my phone not sure what to tell you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Yeah it's odd.. oh well, doesn't matter.

Ahh nvm it does, you left out the 7

It's 7764726.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Well guys looks like we may have a winner ;) I will report more later, or if all goes good start a new How to root your Eris thread, keep your fingers crossed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Really?

Did zifnab06 get it done???

Who? What? Where?

[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Nope not his working on a new one with a ill just say unamed source.... we will see like I said it may or may not work, but so far I have been told it looks good.

or at the very least gave yourself some paid....OUCH!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 00110001:
Good luck to everyone working on it. Hopefully we get It soon. On another note, I spoke to my source at Verizon and he says we are getting 2.0 for Eris at the end of January. No date has been set yet tho. I will let you know when I get a date.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
If this works the tattoo owners may be in luck as well, they are stuck here. Better post it there if it works
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
I hope we get it rooted soon. In the meantime, someone has to start learning to cook!
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
!!!

Thats almost as exciting!!!

I dont want to know your source....but is it a decent one? not just someone in a store I hope :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] Videofolife13:
Really cool to see all of this coming together. Keep up the good work everyone. It's been a long two months. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
This is amazing. I would like to thank all of you for your hardwork and dedication. This will hopefully help other members of the xda community with their phones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Sounds like people are getting a little too excited.

Let's not get our hopes up, guys.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
I agree, this threads been a rollercoaster, its best to expect the same but hope for the best?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Definitely hoping for the best but I'm just not going to put too much stock into this so as not to get too disappointed IF it does not work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
To keep myself from biting finger nails im going to play so mw2 on my banned 360 :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Nice, did you beat it on Veteran yet? Now that's a challenge.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Always do, :D It aint a game if it beats you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Took me a couple hours to beat it on Veteran. :P I think COD4 was harder.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Once we get root I pledge an rom :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
jumped ship

i've been monitoring the eris root forums for the past 2 months now and still no progress on the root of the eris. there's even a bounty (lol)!! the emails sent by htc are just PR ways of telling us to piss off. i doubt they'll release the source code anytime soon. i love my eris but i like the ability to hack my phone a little more, so I am jumping ship and switching back to motorola droid :o
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Well your a genious - go jump ship the day two people "may" be close. atleast wait it out another day... I said screw it when i almost jumped ship 2 weeks ago.
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
really??

someone said the same thing over a month ago and here we are, I'll wait another week since you've waited 2 weeks
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
2.0 or 2.1? If it's 2.0 it just ain't worth it. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Guess i need to play more mw2 tonight :p zif is having either good luck, or he snapped his phone and cant message about it :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
MW2 sounds pretty good actually. Maybe he's playing mw2 instead of rooting?
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
possibly, I just took over the white house and you light the flares on the roof. Dunno how much is left theres a bug in the campaign thats been saying 50% complete since level 2.
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
You're about halfway through I think. It's been a while since I played it. Why don't you PM me or send me an IM (my aim sn is MyLastTears00).

Sorry for being off-topic guys!
[Droid Eris Android Development] 00110001:
My source says that it is 2.0. I have no reason to not trust him on the version or the (rough) date on its release.

Im just hoping that in one of these updates it will change the delay in the screen rotate delay when you turn the phone. Unless someone knows of a hack or app to solve that problem that im not aware of.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Whiskey hotel baby.. HOORAH!!

I got an Email from an HTC rep a while back and he said 2.1 is coming "soon". All I got from him.. he said to check HTC's Twitter but those idiots never post anything good, all they do is talk about that Nexus One.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
I need to find some cheap android phones lol, wish the used ones sold for 100$ dont care of brand as long as its wifi enabled and has droid on it, can be bad esn or anything, anyone got a idea? gonna use it for a twitter project.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
If you have an old WinMo Phone look at running Android on that, mine can.

But this may solve your problem too.

[Droid Eris Android Development] hoban_eris:
thanks for the hard work!

First time Android user here, just got my Eris a couple week ago. I'm really looking forward to getting root access. I'm pretty proficient with Linux (I'm a Linux sysadmin and instructor) and would love to help out in any way possible. I haven't ever done any rooting so don't know where to start, but I'll be glad to contribute as I can. Any tips as to how I can begin?

Thanks to all who have contributed, I appreciate your hard work!
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
So what exactly do those two lines on Zufnab06's twitter that were just posted mean?
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Programing for a easy bake oven, when you hear the ding your phone is rooted. ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Hope I don't miss it.. I have a hard time hearing some times. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:

[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Zifnab06, Great work just found your twitter, Dont give the people who are only in it for the money a chance. I say just finish yourself and let the ones who want the money just pout.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
I agree I know if the one I found works no donations will be accepted!!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
Since we may be close, is there anyone interested in helping make a Kitchen for the Droid Eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
More importantly, anyone interested in porting 2.1 to the Eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Count me in!

I have being cramming as much Linux/android as I can lately....

Forcing all this WinMo out of my head!!

I would love to help in anyway I can!
[Droid Eris Android Development] d1g1talz0mb13:
Kitchen

I'm all in for helping with the kitchen. I'm fairly new to this so I may ask a lot of silly questions.:rolleyes: I use to have an Omnia and played around with the ROMs and kitchens, but never got one cooked.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 87jason:
So has there been anymore news on progress on the rooting or if were any closer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
The only progress so far is that Zif hates arm code :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] Goobalicious:
Damn gov't computers. Can't get to Twitter...

[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Gawwwwd I'ma dyinnn!1 come on guys you can do eeeeettttt. ..crack this ***** open so we can get to work on it.. I can think of quite a few apps that are goin in the garbage once we get root... like that damn Amazon MP3...among others...
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
anyone know how to get ahold of the creator of the flashrec?
[Droid Eris Android Development] 00110001:
Is this his site?

http://zenthought.org/content/project/flashrec

in the top right there is a contact button. could give that a try. the about page gives some more info about the site, and the developer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
yep i found that, i emailed him through there. Sorry guys i did not mean to get your hopes up but there is more work to do :( but hopfully soon.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinksocker69:
I can confirm that FlashRec will not work with the kernel on the most recent MR2. Looks like the bluetooth socket bugfix was backported into this guy. I'm currently evaluating an attack against CVE-2009-4141, which is a vulnerability related to file pointers not being properly reset after close with opened with the FIOASYNC flag, but it's been slow-moving as while there is a PoC of the attack, no exploits are available. (Hell, I'm still evaluating if the Eris is even vulnerable to this kind of attack.)

That said, put me down for $20 if someone else roots it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Well I believe that is the same one I have been working on and that is why I emailed the creator of flashrec to see if he would help. But anyway this should help and it goes in to detail on how the exploit works.

rooting 2.1 with sense on eris?

i hope i'm not the only one to think of this but:

if firmware 2.1 does come out on the 22nd of january, what does this mean to all the work done rooting firmware 1.5? because i'm pretty sure the problems with rooting the eris is not necessarily with fw1.5 but the sense UI thats layered on top of 1.5

even if 2.1 does come to the eris, it'll probably be a watered down version of fw2.1 because the hardware on the eris is not really optimized for 2.1 and it'll probably have a newer tweaked sense UI built upon the code from 1.5

i hope this is not a draw back but it's something to think about

(posted in wrong forum)
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
You obviously dont know much on this topic then. A "Upgrade" does not mean it will slow you down more. Sense UI will be complete and not slapped together, im wondering where you are getting your information from. There would be no way to "water down" 2.1 Sense UI is a home replacement, you can disable it. Anything removed by HTC can be added. If your worried about root dont update, if you are more into 2.1 and can wait 6 more months for a new root method then upgrade.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pinksocker69:
Gotcha. Not surprisingly, I'm using the same resource, haha. Let me know if the FlashRec guy gets back to you; the attack looks like it's gonna be a little monster.
[Droid Eris Android Development] moqadasi:
sorry

and you "obviously" lack proper discourse manners :mad:

i'm getting my information from the other forums, verizon technical support, and from the senior project manager of android, Erick Tseng.

fw2.x will require a newer iteration of sense. nobody starts from scratch, when they upgrade the fw on the eris they (htc) will built upon code originally from 1.5 and in a sense (no pun intended;)) it will be in fact "slapped together."

sure "anything removed by htc can be added" but will it work sufficiently? i can put vista ultimate on my 1.6 ghz msi wind netbook but it won't work in an acceptable manner.

Tseng was directly asked in an interview on whether android devices running 528 mhz processors (i.e. all heros including eris, G1, myTouch 3G) will be upgraded to the newer android OS's like 2.1 since they will have processor strenuous capabilities like google earth, live wallpapers, google navigation, etc. and he (Tseng) said that the capability of devices running the newer OS's (2.x) will be determined via the devices hardware components, especially the graphics chips (the eris has a weak graphics chip).

since i'm a neewbie, i'm not allowed to post links but you can find the interview @ engadget and probably youtube.

since the g1 is being upgraded to 2.1 we can deduce from the information above and Tseng's interview that some sort of "tweak" or "watering down" will probably take place and not all the features available on the n1 or moto droid will be available on the hero line of devices i.e. eris

but what do i know? im just some dude with a french girlfriend :p
