Equipment Operator Third Class US Navy 99-04 Disabled Vet

For those that don't know what that is allow me to break it down

Equipment Operator (Person who operates heavy machinery, i.e. bulldozers, tractor trailers, cargo trucks, excavators etc.....)

The Navy had to be different (and the coast guard too) then everyone else with their ranking system. I was a 3rd Class Petty Officer = E4 and only the Navy (as far as I remember) recognizes E4 as a NCO.

And just in case your wondering where do EO's work at? EO's and Construction Mechanics (CM) make up the Alpha company in a Naval Mobile Construction Battalion better known as the Seabees :).

The bees work hand in hand with the marines we build stuff and they help to protect us.

hey Acid?

if this....

[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Ohhh and to answer your question...check out one of our Devs Zifnab post #372 of this thread :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
I hope root comes out before the 2.1 Update. The update most likely going to be released in March.

Some people might impatiently update and lose the vulnerability that the Dev's are using.

I'm definitely not updating until root comes out but it would be epic if it came before that so that people who update don't get screwed over if they can't downgrade.
[Droid Eris Android Development] navalynt:
I'm a little confused on the current status.

So the first post says there's a working exploit and Devs are currently working on a method to deliver the root payload. Does "working exploit" mean that they have successfully tested the exploit and rooted an Eris?

My impression from reading this thread and the updates to the first post are that root has been accomplished, but the process is neither safe or user friendly and that's what the Devs are working on cleaning up before releasing any instructions or files. Is this correct?

EDIT: On a side note, I ALMOST joined the Army Reserves. I might have gone through with my plans if the recruiter hadn't pushed me really hard to be a helicopter mechanic when my mechanical aptitude = fail. I went to the base once to check out what the job was like and hated it. The recruiter kept pushing me so I just said forget it. In retrospect, I should have gone over to the Air Force recruiter :-P

Thank you for your service;););););););););););););););)
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
To answer your ? Yes the exploit works but just the exploit is not going to give us root, at least not in this case. We can trigger the bug and get the exploit to work but the hard part is the shellcode(payload) what this does is give us the root shell that we are trying to get. Without a working payload the exploit is useless. Does that make sense?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Maybe yes, maybe no. There's no way to know for sure.

It depends on whether or not the bootloader is updated as part of the OTA.

IIRC, during the 1.16.605.1 -> 1.17.605.1 OTA, Verizon left certain things alone:

hboot_7501a_1.47.0000_091023.nb0

nv_1.85.nb

radio.img

These files were byte-for-byte identical in those two RUUs. That suggests that they were re-flashing them, even if they were identical to the prior versions. So it's not much of a stretch to suggest the bootloader could be replaced, and the former RUUs might get locked out.

bftb0

PS, Hey devs - have you peeked at the strings inside "hboot_7501a_1.47.0000_091023.nb0"?

There lots of curious stuff in there, including things that look like hidden menu options:

Usage: savemem2sd <memory offset> <length> <file name>
ex: savemem2sd 85cd0000 2c000 mem.bin
Usage: saveprt2sd <partition name> <-n> <file name> <-a>
<partition name> - Partition name want to save
<-n> <file name> - File name to store in(optional)
<-a> - Save whole blocks even read empty page(optional)
ex: saveprt2sd hboot hboot.bin
(use listpartition command get all partition name)

Firstly, I want to thank the devs for all their hard work. You guys rock. Next, Why did you choose that name acidbath? Not that there's anything wrong with it, I'm just asking out of general curiosity and to give you a break from all the root questions.

Thanks :)

Its actually used to be a band..nothing I had anything to do with...I just really liked their stuff.

Kinda heavy metal goth type stuff...

Not to into it these days...but ya know...
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkirton:
Actually, they can have two different phones named the same thing. Look at the Sprint Hero. It looks nothing like the T-Mobile G2 (which is also a Hero). In fact, they don't even use the same accessories.

That's why the Sprint Hero developers use the following terms to differentiate between the two phones:

GSM Hero - T-Mobile G2

CDMA Hero - Sprint Hero

Several people applied the GSM kernel to the CDMA phone and completely bricked their phone with no hopes of recovery.

Wish HTC would come up with one name for each phone and not share names with two completely different phones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Yep...Exactly right...

I already emailed XDA Admin so that they can change the name of our Section....avoid any confusion down the road...
[Droid Eris Android Development] sms440:
Got ya.Thanks for answering.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamezelle:
really, these two phones have TOTALLY different hardware(desire vs desire), it would have been better to name this new "Desire" the Passionc(for CDMA) than the Desire for obvious reasons(both have 480x800 AMOLED, 1GHZ snapdragon need i go on :rolleyes:).

but since they did i vote they call our phones the HTC Bastard(kinda catchy huh :p), thats essentially what it is. To name a phone the Desire(Eris), then wait till a nicer piece of hardware comes out then give it the same name :eek:.:rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
+1 for that name! We do seem kind of like the bastard child of HTC. We're so bad you can get a free one if you buy the Droid... Maybe they should change the thread title to HTC PaperWeight until we get root!
[Droid Eris Android Development] droiddoess:
soo once root is achieved would there be a way to maybe find a way to get out of paying for the data plan? bc this is a BS charge and i hate it haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Simply, no.

Your device as an ESN and some other number (IMIE? IMIA? something like that) that tell Verizon what phone it is. Changing either one is illegal. So, no.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
I think you might wanna change your blog to HTC Eris now. I guess HTC really swept the rug under us with that Bravo name change.

The Most Dangerous game would be hunting a man on an island that was running 2.1 on his Eris and trying to roll it back....
[Droid Eris Android Development] apreichner:
I'm wondering why we couldn't just use the Goldcard to flash back to MR2 if we root and it's not compatible with 2.1. It seems like some of the Hero users had to downgrade their phones in order to root, and they just used the goldcard.

Good to hear acid. Hope it comes soon... Thanks for all the hardwork.

If this 2.1 update is legit then I am going to be awfully tempted to update.
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
I hear ya, I have been using my TP2 mostly lately so I havent had the major itch for 2.1....

But when all is said and done, most of us cell addicts will want root more than 2.1.

I mean we all love updates and new stuff right?

Thats why we are here :)

So once people play with 2.1 for awhile, and they realize that verizon and Htc arent gonna update anymore to the Eris after that...

Everyone will either get a new phone or get Root :)

My biased opinion anyways :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:
Pretty much :( HTC doesn't give us much attention as it is.

BUT...

If they do continue to update , I will love them <3 And we'll have custom roms anyways

I wish the dude that has 2.1 could dump the rom and we could see if any bugs are in it and see if there is an exploit from there :P

One day my friends, one day. Patience is a virtue :P

Hopefully the root comes before, or we may run into problems in the near future ^_^''

The 2.1 update will be worth it though,

-Live Wallpapers

-New Widgets Added

-Leap(organizes your home screens) & Friendstream (combines all your social networking accounts into one application)

-Google Navigation

-Updated Market

-Less Lagged/ Faster to use

-Fixed Loading (The Loading screen is now smooth and not choppy =] )

-New Icons for Apps and in Settings

-Supposedly better Battery Life

-Youtube 3G Problem Fixed (Videos will now play over Mobile Network ALL THE TIME! :) )

-Improved Browsing

-Better Camera Settings

-Better Email Support

-Wikipedia,Google Dictionary, and Google Translate integration into the Web browser

-Speech Keyboard
[Droid Eris Android Development] CPCookieMan:
Looks worth it, I will be looking forward to it. I hope that it won't be the last update, but once we have root the sky's the limit for upgrading.

By the way, I released another intro vid if anyone wants to check out the changes I made.

I did a little research after seeing this and found the font used for the verizon droid ads. It's basically the same only lacks the 2 dots for the lowercase R in droid. Also the V is pretty bleh so "Droid Eris Devs" looks kind of weird when using the actual font.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Framework43:

So do you it like

Or

Btw, when are we going to be able to see the site that the devs post their work on?

Then onto ROMS and other phones :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] morphius2036:
Not to rehash old questions but maybe I missed the answer. Should we if 2.1 comes before root just ignore the update till root?
[Droid Eris Android Development] acidbath5546:
Quoting one of our Team Devs Zifnab06:

"Once we have root, someone *me* should be able to write some code to bypass the sig checks in the android source, so we can get 2.1 *without* losing root, assuming we have root before 2.1 comes out.

Another thing to point out - my advice is DO NOT UPGRADE to 2.1 until we get root. 2.1 runs a newer kernel, meaning we could do a diff between the old kernel and the new one, and find some exploits that were patched. All in theory of course "

So I dont want to tell everyone whether to accept or not accept the upgrade/OTA once it happens.

I will say that I think it would affect whether you could Root though.

At least for sometime until we could write some code.

So with that said it is up to each individual.

We hope to have Root before 2.1 OTA rolls out, and we are pretty confident that we will.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
best news I've heard all day! Great to hear!
[Droid Eris Android Development] zifnab06:
Just to let you all know:

We have an RUU. So we can downgrade if we need to after 2.1 comes out. Only problems are:

Phone WILL NOT WORK in downgraded state (Radios don't downgrade well, or so i'm told).

As with the Droid, 2.1 might actually put out more glitches than before.

Downgrading is a hard process though. If you are not tech saavy, I'd still recommend not upgrading to 2.1. The downgrade process involves a goldcard to bypass the RUU version check.

Thanks!

I think i know a way that we can record our phones in HQ.

I don't know if any of you guys have used the ddms screen capture(for taking snapshots),

but we could have it refresh and save every frame and then we could take the frames into a video editing program and put them into a video, and it would look just as if you were using the phone :)

I don't know how to get ddms to do that though :/

Because my home screens are so hood yo:

there is a java jar for that called droidx or something like that ill look for it again it refreshes ddms at 6fps
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Hey all.. I wanted to know why when I use the ddms.bat to screencap they seem so crappy pixelated. I have seen some screen caps that look amazing. The only opts I can save seems to be png and I cannot find a place to adjust quality. Sorry to be so off topic especially after I was a bit sarcastic about the guy asking about internet sharer in this forum earlier, but the HD vid thing was asked so...

BTW acid and jamz may have seen this from droidforums but this was my post over there. I am burnt out on the update crap.
