to run with the big dogs huh?! anyhow it would be just dumb to mess up ur root chance just to flash this rom again. it would take me 5 minutes to build an update.zip that could be flashed from recovery that would have a2sd and many other funions this half baked build lacks. and if ur one of the few people on this forum that dont want root and are just here to watch others have fun with root. then why flash this? to get 2.1 that has issues? then when verizon releases 2.1 that works fine and has these issues resolved u wont be able to upgrade to it and just be stuck like chuck.

i will say this "big dog" u may like this build and be fine with all the bugs and lack of speed. but others that want root and may love this build also. could easily flash it via recovery and not sacrifice root. also leaving them with the otion to build, improve, and mod the build to their liking.

on another hand this isnt the newest build of 2.1 for our devices (msm7k) and there are way newer, more feature having, and less bug having builds to be ported. this build is a release key build. but it is obvious its not what verizon wil release.

again take it how u want. im just trying to inform and clear up the confusion that has emerged from lack of info in the first post and title of this thread. im happy to see that others (including this forums mod) agrees and has cleared up that confusion that other may have had or possibly will in the future.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
it's just a phone, dude
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
ur right :D

and my intention wasnt to belittle u in any way or point. i was just responding. ur right its just a phone. but it not just my phone or ur phone. its alot of peoples phone and they need to be informed of what they are flashing before they do it. thats all i was saying. this build has been ported to many other devices already and is a nice build. but it does have its flaws. for the Eris its biggest flaw is the lost chance of root. just trying to look out for u and others. if u look at my record i do nothing but help others on this and ever forum im a part of.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
OTA Release?

Just curious, has anyone checked the Moto Droid OTA release to see if we can learn anything about how Verizon is handleing this leak / official upgrade.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
s'all good... sorry if i sounded snide.... i can understand if someone is upset about installing this without knowing the repercussions. I, like most of the hardcore junkies I'd imagine, installed this on day 1 without fear.

for me, root is not an issue so I am not bothered at all. I actually would rather not have root in order to have a more secure device.

This build, in my opinion, is still a good upgrade from 1.5.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rockdevourer:
I'm new to the Eris scene, but not android, and I have a question: What's the difference between this leak and the other 2.1? It seems that the other 2.1 is an earlier build of the 2.1 release, but it is root and this one is not. Is this correct?

Note: I don't have an Eris, but will be purchasing one soon :P
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
well if u flash this build u will not be able to gain root access to ur device unless they find a exploit. if u flash the other build and flash the recovery. u will be able to flash a root version of this and all the other roms that the devs release.

again do not flash this unless root isnt what u want and ur willing to take the risk of only having this build on ur device forever.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rockdevourer:
I realized this already, but thanks :) I found what I was looking for in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649705

Ivan did what I was thinking of, rooting this build and making it more stable (or I suppose he did, haven't used his ROM). I probably will be getting an Eris this week and may dev for it because it doesn't look like there's too many out there for just the Eris anyways.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
yeah any build can be made an update.zip out of. thats the good thing about root
[Droid Eris Android Development] rockdevourer:
Yep, just have the unyaffs the images from the file, make your modifications, add to zip, and resign :D

My brother just got a job at Verizon and can get me 50% off the plans with them. I can pay ~$30 a month at verizon instead of the $70 with T-Mobile for my G1! I'll probably order my phone tomorrow or Monday and get crackin'! Should be lots more headroom to work with compared to my G1, could be some interesting results :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Supercoolguy:
What the hell are you talking about? If the Official update is newer, then we'll probably be able to upgrade to it from the leak.
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
probably is right. but sadly not for sure ;) i hope it is that way and it doesnt leave these users stuck. but till it gets here saying everything will be ok is nothing but a guess
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Let me get this straight.

2.1 is leaked by RiverRunner. I flash my phone with leaked 2.1. Then they find another, older 2.1 release? and they ROOT it? *sigh*

When is the official update? If the OTA doesn't fix the 2.1 leak, and they don't find an exploit.....

Not surfing the forums for the past few days really made me miss a lot. -.-
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsempsey:
Still nothing resolved...I don't think it is just a Pioneer thing, I have read that there are plenty of Head Units having the same issue. I know I don't have this problem with my Motorola HT820 headphones. I'm just kinda waiting paitently and scouring the forums...
[Droid Eris Android Development] toastcfh:
a lot of 2.1 leaks have BT audio issues. even the nexus one/desire leak has issues with bt. it could just be a small bug. but yeah i do know on almost all the devices running one leak or another runs into a bt issue of some sort. but most f the time if it has release keys like this build, its a little more polished.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Is there any progress with a root for the leaked 2.1 from RiverRunner?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
There wont be any updates to the progress of root, for any version, as most of the dev work is done in secrecy to protect the work that they are doing. You can join the irc channel that thefuzz hosts and listen in on their work.

I dont think that there will be root available to those on the 2.1 leak except for a gold card downgrade, which a few devs are working on.

I do want to thank the devs for all the hard work they have done in getting us root. But since I upgraded to the leaked version and dont think verizon will give me a new phone too easily I will be going to the nexus one on the 23 if google releases it for verizon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] AnomynousPierson:
I've seen "gold card" mentioned a few other times but I have no clue what that could mean. Can you clear this up for us(me)?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Gold card is a process for downgrading phones. To follow their work view the gold card thread in the dev section.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
As long as we get something to downgrade/change the 2.1 leak back to stock 1.5 or to rooted 2.1, I'll be a happy Eris user again. I'm glad they're working on it....I salute the Eris Devs. I really do. :D

Thanks for the irc channel. Been there but forgot it even existed. haha.
[Droid Eris Android Development] crax0r:
Ya I know, if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have this... :P Anyways, I'm hoping to try this today and see if I could get it running on mine. I want Google Maps Navigation bad! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Is Skype Mobile available in the marketplace for Eris handsets with the 2.1 leak? I'm not seeing it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
2.1 Leaked - ROOT still being worked on?

So is anyone on the development team still working towards a 2.1 leaked ROOT?

I pray so. Really don't want to have to pay $50 for a new phone (via insurance).
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Incredible
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
New 2.1 leak

The new leak seems to be running well. No more sign in bug. Pretty responsive. Dialer is still a bit laggy. Keep em coming.
[Droid Eris Android Development] punk.kaos:
Yes, of course we are :) The 2.1 rom will be standard on new Eris's shortly, then we'll be back to ground zero for new phones. So we're working on it still, it just takes time.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrmikemcguire:
deleted.....
[Droid Eris Android Development] motionUS:
looks like the build on the status screen is the same as what was pictured on the net a few weeks ago.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Snakehn:
please pics of the phone running a 2.1 app or something, not the status screen...
[Droid Eris Android Development] beyondinferno:
If this is bug free I'm seriously gonna go postal.... WHY NOT A HERO ROM?!?!?!?!? :-(
[Droid Eris Android Development] chizzy58:
Welcome to Zion people! :)

now lets get these bugs worked out (cause u know they coming!)
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
...dude, this is a 2.1 droid eris rom. = hero
[Droid Eris Android Development] gener1c:
ok, patching the corrupt file worked for me. However can anyone verify that this will not mess up my phone. Given that I do not mess up the update process.
[Droid Eris Android Development] justinisyoung:
other people said that they have it installed. one posted up a pic. it's going to be fine. *pats back*

:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Flashing to my phone now. Will get back to you all, and try to get some screens if it works.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gener1c:
lol...thanks for the support..
[Droid Eris Android Development] PPCGeek01:
Sweet! Downloading now. Thanks to all the guinea pigs for risking their phones, as well as the people who patched and uploaded it. Also HUGE thanks to the OP, without you we'd be waiting much longer for this awesomeness!
[Droid Eris Android Development] justinisyoung:
can those who have installed it verify if all the sensors and camera work? test the orientation change, open up camera, accelerometer, etc?

i'm not sure if the eris uses the same hardware as the sprint hero, so if anybody could tell me, that'd be great. thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] corybucher:
So is camera and everything working?????
[Droid Eris Android Development] ataranine:
Update finished, device rebooting. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] beyondinferno:
I have a sprint hero....:(
[Droid Eris Android Development] binny1007:
Yes everything seems to be working fine
[Droid Eris Android Development] motionUS:
would love to hear the conspiracy theories. Whoever leaked the rom, added a program to steal all our passwords and logins.

I'm loading anyway.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Avalaunchmods:
camera, open gl, network ID, BT, Wifi, sense, Multitouch. everything is working correctly? if so this will be great for our 2.1 builds on the hero.
[Droid Eris Android Development] motionUS:
someone just posted in android forums, that peep, footprints and stocks do not work. Can you confirm?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Ok everyone so far everything is working heres a brief tutorial:

Ok everyone you wanted a tutorial here you go.

This if for instructional purposes only, I'm not responsible if you break your phone.

Step 1. Get the patched 2.1 Rom here --> http://www.sendspace.com/file/frqze0

Step 2. Place PB00IMG.zip onto your phones SD card

Step 3. make sure phone is off and hold Power button and Call Button.

Step 4. the menu opens quickly press the power key over the hboot option.

Step 5. Follow the instructions onscreen to install the update. the phone will reboot a few times.

Enjoy!

Notes:

The phone will wipe all user data the sd card is untouched, i made a backup for safety purposes.

Also stocks and all those apps works :P

Thanks to irc.thefuzz4.net/irc.wastate.net and Zanfur, Framework, Thefuzz4 and everyone else who helped us get here, lets get root soon!
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Once this up and running we should be able to boot 1.5 again if there is a problem right? I'm not worried, I'm on my final reboot now, but some are feeling pretty reluctant. Go ahead and do it...its cool! ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jfont25:
2.1 - Build 2.26.605.4

Applied the new 'official' build today (the are calling the release candidate build). The bugs I was experiencing are fixed (Google sign-in problem, call lag).

Link in the ROMs sticky.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
Did you already have the first leak installed or did you wait?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lobo4806:
htc incredible??? if only it was coming to verizon within two leaks like i heard...i wouldnt be reading this thread...
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
I felt the same way but this latest leak has been rock solid. The speed is much better now. Once all the apps are available on the Marketplace, the Eris should be a sweet device. Really hope Verizon gets a WinMo 7 device.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jfont25:
I took the plunge early, so this install was installed on top of the previous 2.1 build. No issues there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] destroyerbmx:
been checking for that update for so long, but I am familiar with hacking stuff so I am just applying this. If this were a business, Verizon/HTC just lost.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skotturi:
Skype mobile doesnt show up on my eris (running the 'first' leaked 2.1) either. Not sure why. Can vz see that its not 1.5? Or is the app selective to certain markets? Can the nexusone running 2.1 see s.mobile?

I checked their website and they said to go skype.com/vzw to get the mobile download (I thought maybe a way around the market), but instead the browser says "Sorry, Skype mobile® is not available for your phone"

Does anyone know if the most recent leak of 2.1 gets access to skype mobile?

until then ill be happy with my sipdroid and sipgate setup.

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
Good to hear. You devs are the f'ing bomb!!!!

Semi related: restoring apps with Astro after updates...

Question:

Anyone else have this isue when restoring apps from ASTRO after running a ROM update? Astro seems to restore the apps just fine. However, the apps never are alerted to any available updates, and the market says my apps are uninstalled. So I

still

need to re-install apps again from the market to get update support. Weird.

(At least Astro helps me remember what apps I had, so I can download the updates from Marketplace at my leisure).

Gervy
[Droid Eris Android Development] sms440:
I just checked and it's not there, for me at least. I am running the latest 2.1 leak. On the plus side, it should be coming soon since the update will be here soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
I found a link to the APK on androidforums or XDA. It worked fine on leak #2.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TDianna:
2.1 Leak

I'm a noob and I quite do not understand what a "root" is.

I have the 2.1 ROM already downloaded and I am a afraid that it will F up my phone and if it does not will it update to the official 2.1 when it get's released?

Tony
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
Root basically means that you can do anything you want to the phone. Edit preinstalled apps, change any settings, screw with the CPU speed....etc.

It's nice to have, but never necessary....it depends on what level of control you want over your phone. If you are happy with the defaults and like the way things work, root probably isn't something you'd look into.

There is no guarantee that the 2.1 leaks will upgrade into the official 2.1. That being said, if you have one of the later leak builds then it probably will upgrade normally. PROBABLY.

I was one of the unfortunates that upgraded to the leak posted in this thread, and currently my phone is stuck with this version until the devs find a fix or I throw it out the window and call insurance. Either way, you take risks in doing anything "unofficial" to your phone.

Root can make your phone unusable, if you do it wrong. FYI. It's called "bricking" and it pretty much makes your phone a paperweight.

However, if you think you can follow tutorials (as I'm sure there are plenty of by now), root shouldn't be a problem and can open up new areas of interest with your Eris.

Choice is yours. :D

phone replacing

Hi, I know this may be the wrong section, but I'm getting my Droid ERIS replaced and for my new phone, I want to run the 2.1 Root ROM. What is the difference? If it's not worth it, I mine as well stay with the Leaked ROM... :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] dreris7:
Where's the ROMs sticky? Searching the site, not finding it anywhere...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dreris7:
Nevermind....found it....sorry...
[Droid Eris Android Development] AnomynousPierson:
You almost certainly do not want either of the leaked ROMs. They are an unfinished product that never got released for an unknown reason.

Installing the leak means you are stuck with the leak. There is no chance of changing it unless you get the 2.1 OTA, then you would be stuck with that.

Getting root on your phone means you have options. You can then install just about any rom you want. Make all sorts of changes to make your phone run faster, look cooler, and have more features. The sky really is the limit as you have complete control.

The difference is about the same as getting a new computer and being stuck on the guest account only... or having Admin privs.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
That is based on a pretty strong assumption they want that much control over the phone. If you don't mind what is considered stock on the Eris, the leaks are fine. The latest leak cleans up a lot of the first 2.1 leak. If you don't know what you are doing with root access, you could bunk up your phone and make it extremely difficult to recover. And just as with the leak, you void your warranty.

I will stick with the leaks and eventually the official 2.1 update. Stock works for me. 10 years ago I would have waited and just rooted my phone. Now I have a wife and two kids and hardly enough time to research the various ROMs out there to determine what is good, what might brick my phone, etc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
+1

Same here.... the latest 2.1 is pretty tight. I was at 30 hours unplugged yesterday and the phone was still at 15% and that's with moderate use and sync. Battery usage is finally at a satisfactory level. These leaks appear to be part of the plan so I would assume that the official OTA update (or official ROM) is going to be applicable to these builds.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
One can only hope.

Though while I'd love a rooted phone, I'm pretty satisfied with the latest leaked build from the other week. Fixed a lot of issues and seems to run great.
[Droid Eris Android Development] willyf504:
could one of you post the link to roms sticky because I cant find it but need it baddly. Also are all of your problems fixed? Really?

Leaked 2.1 to 1.5 or Root 2.1

So in reading through the posts I keep finding references to "if you installed the leaked 2.1 you cannot go back to 1.5" or "the leaked 2.1 has not been rooted yet" but the dates on these post float to old and new so I'm slightly confused on a point...

I installed the leaked ROM originally and then installed GrdLock's release from 3/24 and both worked great but no root of course.

Is there yet a way to revert to 1.5 to load the rooted 2.1, or, is there a 2.1 I can overlay on my existing to gain root?

If it's still a waiting game no worries...development on the forums has been moving quickly so I can bear with an unrooted phone until it's figured out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Nimado:
Simply put no, there is currently no way to downgrade or root the newest leaked roms as of yet. It's all just a waiting game at this point.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RayzoRamon:
Sorry this may have been answered previously, when i reboot and google tries to sync my info, i get log in errors. what can i do to fix this. at first thought i lost all widgets but they came back but now i'm at my wits end. i thought of restoring device in the private settings to re-set everything. some insight needed please.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
There is a newer leak out, try it.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RHNAWUR0
[Droid Eris Android Development] RayzoRamon:
I originally used this link to get update website... grense.no/android/android.2.1.droid.eris/PB00IMG.zip. I believe this is the Leaked version and not the rooted ver. would I be safe to say that. lol. True noob to this, jumped in without testing water and i'm drowning. Just wanna verify ver. since I did see other listings that there was a 1.5 downgrade and not recommended for leaked ver. thanks for all the useful info.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jadesdan:
Wierd location bug...

I'm looking at my home screen tonight, and the clock is 9 hours ahead of where it should be. So I go into the clock settings, and it says my current location is Gaborone (located on the border between Botswana and South Africa). Unfortuatley, I'm in Montata, US (weather shows I'm in Gaborone, also). So I go to my location settings and change it from 911 only, to Location (which I thought it was already there). Everything is fine. But then I see that my gps is active, so I use the gps widget and turn off gps, and it also turns the location setting back to 911 only (i checked). So in summary:

gps on - shows my current time and weather, even my location on Maps.

gps off - Shows time & weather for South Africa and even shows that as my current location on Maps. Which is going to get compicated when I try to navigate to Pizza Hut :)

Any ideas?

Offical Leak

I downloaded the new leak for 2.1 and I am having trouble getting it to load when follow the procedure from the 1st leak I installed. Any know what I am doing wrong? And am I still supposed to have both leaks installed on my SD card to do this correctly?
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
You should only have one leak file on the SD card. Having both will not work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] willyf05:
ok but when I reboot both ways (volume down+power button or volume and send button down then power button) with the new leak alone it will only try to load the image from SD card then after that fails take me to:

HBOOT

<SEND> FastBoot Mode

<VOL UP> Recovery

and fastboot mode takes me right back to that HBOOT screen after it fail to load the image again.

The second method takes me to:

CLEARSTORAGE

Delete all user data?

<ACTION> Yes

If I hit yes it goes straigh to green android with caution triangle over his head and nothing else.

What am I doin wrong is it the Leak I have? Got it from megauploads or whatever its called.
[Droid Eris Android Development] paybackdaman:
Thank you so much for this post, my friend. 3D app loader is back. This is the only real complaint I had about the other build...seems the testing has been a success so far. :D

Ok so where is the link to the 3rd "Official" leak that goes on the SD card? And could someone answer my question at the top of this page?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gemro311:
If there is indeed a 3rd leak could we, please, make a new topic so we are not confused on which leak is which?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mdc4115:
2.26.605.2 is the first leak.

2.26.605.4 is the second leak.
