I have the 1st build 2.26.605.2 installed already and I downloaded the 2nd one but my phone wont install it in HBOOT mode why?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gca:
I installed the second leak on my Droid Eris but from time to time I have issues with my speaker not working after someone calls me. I would have to restart my phone to get it working again. I also have multiple applications crashing from time to time also. It does happen often. I thought the second leak fixed the speaker issue.

Has this happened to anyone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
im not an any of the leak builds anymore, but if you tried to flash the update again, it might fix some of the problems you are seeing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Yup... this has started happening again on my install of leak number 2.

I might try running with advanced task killer off and see what happens.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rsempsey:
I also have this issue from time to time...I don't have ATK...

I have the same problem.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
is the 2nd leak even worth it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] StarPilot:
I've downloaded several of the PB00IMG.zip files and *all* of them will not open. I also found the eris21official-root.zip on "android.grdlock.net". Is this a known good version? I am excited about the 2.1 OS and have been champing at the bit for it. I've spent the last almost 2 hours reading this thread and am more confused than when I began. :rolleyes:

Question - how do I install it?

TIA
[Droid Eris Android Development] thawkth:
wait!

If you have not installed any updates....dont!

There is a guide to install root first...do it!

If you install the leak improperly you will be unable to root like me and a few other poor souls! Do your homework and read up on how to root safely.

Once rooted install one of the roms listed in this forum.

If you just want 2.1 and not root then wait for the official one. There is a chance we won't be able to install the final over a leak. Small, but possible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
If you don't personally care about root, the 2nd leak is more stable than the first. If you want root access, and all the extra fluff that people have put together, don't install the leaks.

I have the 2nd leak installed. It works well. I like Google Maps Navigation.

Radio seems stronger on the 2nd leak (I have more bars in more places....don't sue me AT&T)
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
i have the first leak installed already i was to anxious for 2.1 i jumped ship before root i just wanted to know if the 2nd leak was worth losing all my apps again and having to start all over ill probably end up doing it this weekend thanks for the reply
[Droid Eris Android Development] AnomynousPierson:
Rooting isn't all about extra fluff. Many ROMs are all about removing all the broken fluff (crap) that comes pre-installed and is not removable.

I'm running EvilEris and it runs way better than either of the non-root leaks. I won't ever go back to an official rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
root would of been my first choice if the leak and root were available at the same time but since leak was out first and im an impatient person i went with the leak lol but if the incredible hits verizon this month like everyones saying it will ill be getting that fa sho!
[Droid Eris Android Development] AnomynousPierson:
I did the same thing, but the Verizon Wireless store gave me no problems in swapping out my phone. I was shocked how ready they were to swap it out despite me altering it. Not that they could tell or that they even looked at my phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] DayManGabe:
what did you tell them was wrong with the phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] AnomynousPierson:
They asked like they didn't really care, but I told them that my phone was one of the ones that got the premature OTA and that it had horrible battery life and was generally acting flaky.

They didn't really care at all. hehe

I would recommend going about 4-5pm when they are really busy. They'll just push you through.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gorgio1:
i went to the store first and told the guy it was acting up and also it really dosnt save gmail password after restart and told him that and at the begining hes like o i have this phone.. i knew i wasnt going to get ne thing done but ne way he takes and and goes to the back and 5 min later he comes out hes like o try this and try this and im like oh ya ya . then hes like did you update it and im like no i got the update ota and since then it works weird hes like oh ya ... hah. but ne ways i leave then i call veriizon and tell them my probs it took about 30 min of the tech reading thru manuals to just say oh will just send you a warranty replacement... i now wait for it.. i hope when i send it back they dont notice 2.1 i dont think they will and if they do i bet they could just downgrade it themselves.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
I come from the WiMo side of things, I know you can get the most minimal ROM installed. That being said, I'm not a kid anymore. I don't have time to tinker and toy with my phone to the point its unusable. I'll stick with leaks until the official build.
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
QFT

I wish I had waited for root, running 2nd leak now and wondering if I should just take it into verizon and complain of battery life and it acting weird (both true) and try and get a new one to root. 2nd leak is still better than stock 1.5 but I wish I could get rid of facebook and twitter and all that junk...
[Droid Eris Android Development] williammorrisiii:
Droid Eris w/ Android 2.1

Yes it is true. I hacked my HTC Eris last night. I am now running Android 2.1.

The only problem is this can't be reversed. I can not go back to 1.5 anymore. So features have stopped working, but I have voice navigation though Google Maps!!! The market is different too. It looks like the Motorola Droid market I think. I love my Eris and I love technology so this upgrade was a no brainer for me. If you still want to upgrade your Droid Eris phone or you don't believe me. You may contact me: williammorrisiii@gmail.com
[Droid Eris Android Development] thawkth:
Ummm...why not root? If anyone wants to trade a 1.5 stock for a leaked 2.1 already working uhhh...let me know? Id enjoy the freedom!
[Droid Eris Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
I hear that! It's kind of a shame that it took me about 5 minutes to move my entire life onto my phone, or else I would try to warranty it.

I hope something turns up (again)in the dungeons of htc soon. This website is beginning to consume me as I check for a 2.1 root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
I know what you mean. With every passing day I'm tempted to make an insurance call, pay the $50, and get a 1.5 phone so I can root.

I just can't bring myself to pay %50 of what I paid initially JUST to get a root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] joey3002:
what really sucks is that verizon is ending the eris life in a few months.. the phone is really a great little thing. I have had the g1, iphone and many many others. I really do love this phone. With life ending, why not allow the community to continue support. Give us root and allow us to continue to enjoy our phone. Just 1 of many things that irks me..

again... props to jcase!
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
luckily my wife's Eris is still on 1.5..... I see a switch coming.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
I wonder if I can pull some clout due to a business contract with Verizon for me to trade in my Eris for an Incredible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
Btw.. is there anybody out there that is actually working on the 2.1 ROOT ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
Yes, it is being worked on
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
No, all the devs got free HTC Droid Incredibles, or Motorola Droids and moved on. It was a bribe from Verizon to stop dev work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
I could see that happening... :)

Should I install this one or a Root one? Which one is the best? (out of all the leaks out right now.. Link please. ) ANd could I please have a list of the known bugs in each of them. Im a little weary of installing one of these updates on my phone. I bought my eris about 2 months ago. It was a few weeks after it was released.

THanks to whomever responds (:

Sooo.. wheres the thread for the root status?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cyostrife:
Maybe People would stop asking sooooo many questions about this leak if you LOCK THIS THREAD just keep open the Sticky its literally insulting to human intelligence that people are STILL asking these questions, i mean seriously its the first thread on the page.......
[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
wtf are you talking about?
[Droid Eris Android Development] metasage:
Since you're obviously more intelligent then the rest of us, can you point us in the actual direction of the thread that has any status of root for 2.1? I checked the first thread, the one that is no longer maintained by jcase.. doesn't look promising. Also, the root FAQ on the General forums are not much help either.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] codabry:
Why are 2.1 leak downloaders are getting smashed for wanting root? I can understand asking questions over and over instead of reading the threads are a little annoying. But, you can't blame us for wanting to root our devices; we all were suckered into downloading the 1st leak for waiting impatiently for the 2.1 update from Verizon. I am sure, if we would have known a root would be in the making, we would have been a bit stronger. Curious: If a root can be made for 1.5, why not 2.1 leak for Droid Eris: Motorola Droid 2.1 update was rooted less than a day or so.. I guess I'm just pissed at myself for downloading the 1st leak and now seeing all the cool roms for the Droid Eris out there ( and I can't get in the game) haunts me..
[Droid Eris Android Development] joey3002:
Im in the same boat bro... i actually want to make a custom rom and cant.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cyostrife:
since i obviously never said anything about my intelligence being greater than yours, maybe you should WAIT the sticky thread at the top isn't maintained true, but as we all know a lot of the Devs are running the 2.1 leak so i'm sure when they finally Root it they will Let us know. Its a simple matter of thinking and searching before you post
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
/rant

nobody is smashing anyone for WANTING root. all of us who jumped on 2.1 of course want root. its the constant and repetitive asking of "IS ANYONE WORKING ON THIS?" or "HOW DO I ROOT MY 2.1" or other questions which have been answered 10,000 times.

no wonder people don't want to do work on this anymore, there is next to no appreciation. i'm not a dev, and don't pretend to know how to do any of this, which is why I am grateful there ARE people who do know how and that are working on it. take TWO seconds to look and search before you ask something which has been asked 30,000 times already.

/rant
[Droid Eris Android Development] Marisa:
This. Exactly this. It's never fun helping people that aren't willing to help themselves.
[Droid Eris Android Development] metasage:
Of course there's appreciation for those who are working on it. It has nothing to do with that. Someone was simply asking if there was a thread pertaining to root status for the leaked builds. I've gathered from searches and various places that it is being worked on... but haven't heard anything in quite sometime. Seemed pretty harmless to me. Seems like more energy is being wasted in bashing people who ask questions than in being helpful.
[Droid Eris Android Development] anom69:
ill make a thread then.. so we can track this stuff and what not
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
In there defense though, the threads have been fairly stale for a while. No harm in someone asking if there is still a pulse.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
You're wrong. There is much harm as it is so very annoying to devs and everyone else to hear the same question an infinite number to times. If theres something new A DEV WILL POST IT. you dont need to check the pulse. theyll MAKE A POST if anything ever happens. do you think they are just going to make something big and then post it in the most secretive way possible? i think not. theyll post it as loudly as possible.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cyostrife:
this was exactly what i was trying to say. jcase wasn't the only Dev working on this so just because he isn't anymore doesn't mean that NO one is. now lets all be patient and wait or better yet learn how to help out..
[Droid Eris Android Development] metasage:
Again, the user was just asking if there was a 2.1 leak thread. Why is everyone so easily annoyed by that question? A simple "No" would suffice. There's so much wasted effort in posting about how "intelligent" people should know where to look for that answer or "it's soo annoying".

In any case, a thread has opened on the topic. So everyone can stop complaining and instead offer the help people come to XDA seeking. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cyostrife:
I wasn't trying to say you had to be intelligent to know how to search I was just pointing out you should, but whatever now he has his answer so we can all go on happily waiting for root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wamsille:
On March 24th I posed this question in the thread and didn't get a response. I did a search on the forums and didn't find a solution on my own.

So I ask again, since there seems to be some "activity"....

Does the notes section of a Gmail contact work for you? Can you click on the box and expand the information, or do you have to first "edit" the contact?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gervin:
Because I've noticed an increasing trend in many newsgroups/boards of people acting like snotty assholes.

Jeez, you can tell people to be patient without being a **** about it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
Agreed.... you should read some of the stuff the guys over at zuneboards write. those guys are complete a'holes.

[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Taco, when you flash a new ROM, EE1.1 was my first, do you have to reinstall everything manually or do you use titanium? Want to try L3 while waiting on EE1.2 but not wanting to spend 5hrs reinstalling stuff. All my cal, contacts, tasks, are google so that's fine just wondering how effective titanium or app brain is for the apps.

Sent from my Evil Eris v1.1 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
I actually dont use Titanium, I use Astro File manager. Open up astro, hit menu, then tools then backup apps. It will rip all the apps you select to your SD card at once, then when you install astro on the new ROM do the same thing but click backed up apps inside the backup apps menu and select the ones your want to install and it will basically automate the reinstall process, all you need to click is install and done. Turns an hour+ project into ten minutes.

This is the process i've been doing since I started flashing ROMs, i've done it with about 6 different ROMs so it's time tested.

Hope it helps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Astro is what I have used also in the past but I don't believe you get any update notifications for your Astro restored apps. I think it doesn't sync these with market updates since you installed from local drive. Was trying to find a solution that automated the restoration of my apps but still synced for updates.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
my app will backup and reinstall apps in a batch process. no root is needed for that. I am working on an update for it that will also restore market updates, but haven't had time for that piece. No app out there can install apps with updates AFAIK. To restore updates, I think you need root for it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
use my windows based app. its even simpilier. open up app. click 1 button to back up. flash new rom. go back into open app. click 1 button to restore apps. DONE. besides, mine and jamezelles app is FREE!

you are not supposed to open up any of the rom files. just put them onto either your sdcard or the directions you are following say to put them. just dont open them or extract them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] marsMayflower:
well, I got 31 hours out of the eris 2.1 leak #3 and the battery was still at 10% and that's with light to normal use and sync on. That's without running ATK and uptime at about 20%. ATK usually brings uptime down to about 5% so 40+ hours is definitely a resonable expectation.

These 2.1 leaks are definitely better on the battery than 1.5.

Eris Droid 2.1

Got a quick question, after upgrading to 2.1, is it possible to unlock this phone to use it on Alltel? Thanks for any responses in advance!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gaelic241:
Got a quick questions too. When I tap the home button it just refreshes to the same page, it doesn't exit the app I'm in and take me back to the phone menu/home screen. BUT when it is plugged into the computer, it works fine...seriously confused. UPDATE: Now when the phone is booted up after any restart, it goes to a screen showing 6 LARGE icons such as Navigataor, Make A Call, etc. Whenever I tap the Home Button it takes me to that screen. Once it is plugged into my computer though, when I tap the Home Button it goes to my normal home screen. It will also do this after it is unplugged from the PC. I'm really confused and frustrated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Gaelic241:
Should have mentioned I'm running 2.1 now! Works FANTASTIC aside from the home button not working properly. Any ideas?

Eris 2.1 OTA update is about to hit and it is the same system/radio version as the current #3 leak.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dannymumbles:
stuck?

so i have this rom...and it works fine with some few bugs.

is there anything i can do...like update the rom to a newer one like a patched rom or this third leak i keep hearing about?

am i stuck on this or is there anything i can do?

thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
you have what ROM? the 2.1 leak? if so which version? If you have the leak all you can do is go to v3 of it, as it cannot be rooted yet, and v3 is the most up to date there is, it is basically the OTA. If you are rooted and running a ROM then you can always flash a new ROM, jcase even has one based on the actual OTA
[Droid Eris Android Development] dannymumbles:
i'm sorry....i have the first leak (non root)

where can i find the third leak?...i been looking for it

is it the patched rom from this forum?

thank you
[Droid Eris Android Development] pabent:
Will jcase rom based on the OTA work if you have the v3 leak?
