If it is the PB that copys over from the script then yes it will work It is exactly what I did, you will see S-OFF uptop on the screen during flashing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
K, I fixed the line with the lock screen.

About the live wallpapers... did you flash the eris21official-root.zip rom in the package? If not, you might be missing the lib files needed for them.

As for the phone not rebooting when it does the PB00IMG part, not sure why it isn't rebooting. adb reboot bootloader is in the script. I guess I'll just add some text telling people how to manually reboot it if it doesn't auto reboot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangraef:
can you send the file with the fix for the lock screen?
[Droid Eris Android Development] incubus2:
Can this be used if I have the 2.1 rooted rom installed already?
[Droid Eris Android Development] FireSokar:
A note about the rom, Superuser Permissions freezes up. Is this normal?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Philosophre:
Working for anyone else? I am stuck on the HTC where "Quietly Brilliant" replays repeated. Had to restore.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
@Philosophre, I just uploaded a new file that seems to work with more people. I changed the URL for the update in the OP. Try the new one. Restore your working nand backup before trying to apply the newer patch though.

@Incubus2, yes

@FireSokar, no, that's not normal... you're the first to report that happening :/ If you know how try to backup Superuser.apk to your sdcard, remove it from /system/app, then reinstall it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] incubus2:
Never mind the script got the recovery installed for me. You are a life saver. I was having a hell of a time getting the recovery installed. Thank you for all of your hard work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ryanlw:
hey GrdLock,

Did you change the baseband (radio) version in this rom? The number is different than the one given in the non-root OTA leak. I'm wondering because I'm getting the same poor reception with this radio and I've heard a fair amount of people commenting that their reception has been much better since installing the new leak. If you did use a different radio, I will just flash the version that they are using. Just wondering. Thanks.

ryan
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
The radio update isn't in this rom.

If you want the radio update check jcase's thread and you can download it and update from there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651707
[Droid Eris Android Development] ryanlw:
Thanks GrdLock.

I forgot that custom roms don't update the radio version unless it's included in the rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ampinc:
i had to menially restart but it load all

1 user data

2 system rocovery

3 radio.v2

is this normal

your direction say when image load press track ball to activate

but when you are in hboot when everything loads its saying do u want update

no lockscreen-r.zip

I had no problems doing options 1-3 on the install_extras.zip, but after running the 4) Remove HTC Lockscreen it tells me to choose "lockscreen-r.zip" but after selecting Flash Zip from sdcard "lockscreen-r.zip" is not available. Any chance I can get the file from somewhere?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Philosophre:
Manually, move the zip file into the root o your sd card and you'll see it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
superuser permissions, what is this supposed to do ?

((((TOTAL NOOB HERE))))

all i get is a blank black screen when i try to start this
[Droid Eris Android Development] dandaman96:
From what I understand, this will run when another app tries to run using root (superuser) permissions.

Example:

Plug your phone into the usb.

From the AndroidSDK tools directory, run

adb shell

when you get the $ shell prompt, run

su

You'll notice the command prompt seems to freeze, but if you go to your phone, there will be a screen asking if you want to grant or deny superuser (or maybe it says root) permissions to the app.

that's what "superuser permissions" does... it's a check on any program trying to run as root (i.e. with superuser permissions).

again... that's what I understand of it.

the program itself wont do anything when you click on it in your phone and try to run it, it only does something when another program is trying to run as root.

again, that's how I understand it. but, if I'm wrong, it wouldn't be the first time today...
[Droid Eris Android Development] skydome:
Thanks for your awesome job! May i ask a n00b question that doese it work for the original 1.5 rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] gohamstergo:
You just need to enable USB debugging. even when usb is unplugged, leave the debugging option checked or superuser permission wont run (will be black)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
thank you....... i was trying to use the wifi tethering and Superuser would just freeze and then forceclose....
[Droid Eris Android Development] burdenedreflect:
Quick question, is the update zip used to update the .3 root 2.1 ROM to this root leak2 2.1 ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rvpartsguy:
just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work ........ it made it easy ....
[Droid Eris Android Development] Android22:
Are you saying you want to downgrade from 0.3 recovery 2.1 to the 2.1 when you first root your phone?
[Droid Eris Android Development] burdenedreflect:
Maybe I'm confused, I thought this OTA leak was newer than the one in the "1.5 Stock to 2.1 Root" thread, which I'm under the impression is the Ivan's .3 2.1 ROM in the "Known ROMs" sticky.

I'm really just trying to sample the various ROMs out there at this point (and as of late there's A LOT). I'm fairly new to the scene so I'm still getting familiarized with the platform, but I believe I might have enough programming know-how to make a contribution in the future. Just gotta start digging around the OS and different ROMs and stuff until I have a clearer idea of what's going on underneath the UI.

EDIT: As a side note it sounds like in the newer 2.1 leak the google sign-in bug is fixed...which would be a plus.

[Droid Eris Android Development] rd5150:
I dont understand why im having such a problem with this.

following your step by step.....

the zip file gets copied to my sd card

it does not power down on its own

i restart while pressing vol down

it sits at that screen giving me the options

send fastboot

or vol up recovery.

i never get anything else.

can u help? and its been sitting at that screen for about 30 min now.... ive done this multiple times.
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
i have a question: i installed root2.1 the quick download and reboot way. i dont think i have the recovery image..i just want to scrap what i have now and follow your steps for the all in one download..can i just overwrite what i have now???and how do i make sure i have root now before i take this route????and also can i go back to sense easily whenever i want???
[Droid Eris Android Development] rd5150:
apparently there was something wrong with my sd card.... i changed to a new one.... problem solved
[Droid Eris Android Development] rd5150:
Grd, thx for the walkthrough. once i put the origional sd card back in,, it worked great.

I have 2 questions now,

1. if i want to put the htc lock screen back on the phone, how do i?

2. how do you switch back and forth between home screens? i clicked on the 'use as default' box when i selected sense accidentally and now am not sure how to get to the nexus launcher
[Droid Eris Android Development] NorthCounty:
I want to start by saying that I am completely new to Android and I have never done any programing. You made this completely painless! Thank you for your hard work!

I was wondering if you could post the PDFviewer files so that I can reinstall it. Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
1. The htc lock screen files should have been backed up on the root folder of your sdcard. To restore them you will need to use a file manager such as ASTRO and click on the .apk file and install it. Or you know how, you can use the terminal to copy the files back into /system/app

2. You either need to clear the defaults of Sense in Settings > Applications > Manage Applications, or install a program such as Home Switcher from the Market.

Glad it worked for ya. Here's the PDFViewer application:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/atxnph

Yes you can just overwrite what you have now using my script. To make sure you have root, open the command prompt, browse to your tools directory and run "adb shell" then type "su". If you have a # prompt now you have root. And yes, you can easily use Sense when you want it.

Are you sure you're running a rooted rom? It sounds like you might not be.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
Grd I ran your script and that is what happened. I asked the guys in the irc and they couldnt figure out how or what happened either, besides the fact that my 1.5 went to 2.1OTA by only running your autoinstaller :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
In your app drawer do you have a program called "Superuser Permissions" ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mbarry55:
Nope. I do not have root. Somehow in step one instead of installing whatever was supposed to install, I ended up with the 2.1 OTA.
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
ok, i installed sdk and copied your download onto it.. my first problem was trying to install the new rom. when it said it would boot in recovery mode so i can further the process, my phone screen had a triangle with an exclamation and a green android under it. i installed the extra's, but the nexus launcher, live wallpapers, google map update does not work. everything else to my knowledge works..any idea how to solve these problems????thank you for all your work on this.. i also do not have the superuser permission app, but when i open up terminal emulator and hit #su command and #id it says uid=0(root) gid=0(root) what do you think about that????

my phone is no longer being recognized by my computer...is there something that im doing wrong?
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
I had that same problem. All I did was unhook usb debugging and rehook and the phone was recognized..try that..
[Droid Eris Android Development] 2wisted:
tried it and its still not working its also not letting me install the usb drivers that come with the android sdk to the phone so i dont know whats going on im a noob to all this so any help would be greatly appreciated
[Droid Eris Android Development] miked1207:
GrdLock - many thanks for this walk through. I upgraded over the weekend and all was well until I also added the OTA radio patch which has seemingly degraded a few things. Anyway, I was wondering if you recommended running the *228 or *22899 after running your all-in-one script? Thanks again man, I'm a complete rookie at this stuff and your efforts really the process a breeze for me .
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
New ROM's don't affect the phone's PRL. There's no need to reprogram the PRL with *228 after installing any new rom. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] NorthCounty:
I really don't mean to be a pain! I have tried several ways to reinstall this, but I'm obviously doing something wrong. How should I be doing this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] miked1207:
sounds good GrdLock, thx for your guidance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
ok if you are still having problems with this then you have to plug your phone into your pc, then you have to install its new hardware onto your pc. that is why its not seeing it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
ok grdlock, i reinstalled sdk and did everything all over again.. it worked fine. everything installed without any problems.. the only thing so far that i have noticed is, forceclose on wallpaper picker.. any idea's please let me know...and again thank you for all your hard work on this.. where can i donate to your development???
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
I'm having the same problem but now I can't get Android SDK to work and Adb driver got uninstalled I dont know how. and windows cant find the usb driver located in my C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
I Know, that post was for you. Try deleting sdk and reinstalling it. That's what I had to do to get everything to work right.
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
Still cant get it to work but i have a work around I just installed everything from card in recovery mode I been on here for 5 hours trying to get this to work cause i know i will need this to work in the furture I will take a another stab at it in the morning One more thing I cant seem to get the Nexus live wallpaper to work on the Nexus Launcher but I can get it to work on the Home I have search the forum and cant seem to find a Nexus Launcher that I can use with the nexus live wallpaper and how do I uninstall the Nexus Launcher if I cant use it as of right now it wont let me uninstall it but I'm happy that my phone is rooted Thanks for all the help
[Droid Eris Android Development] NorthCounty:
This happened to me too. I had to reinstall the driver by not searching, but by selecting my device from the list. android >adb device

This worked for me on Windows 7 64bit.
[Droid Eris Android Development] 2wisted:
yea i did the same thing i just copied the files to the sdcard root and then ran the files through astro app to install the extras...i was also having problems with the nexus launcher and live wall paper not working...found this:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649705

go down to "jcase's Live Wallpaper / Launcher2 patch - Current Version 1.2" and follow instructions for that....first remove the current nexus launcher and live wallpaper files that you have on the sdcard before running jcase's...the live wallpapers now work with the nexus launcher when i went that route
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
Thanks NorthCounty its working
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
I will try that I want to use the Nexus launcher with the Nexus One Live wallpaper does it have all the live wallpapers

UPDATE>>> I install jcase's Live Wallpaper / Launcher2 patch and cant get the NexusMod live wallpaper to work that the only Live wallpaper I want I need some help i have looked everywhere for one that works and I cant find one

UPDATE2>>> Gallery is still not working right when I tilt my phone it shows weird. I need help with that too
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
Not all of them, no. We didn't include the Nexus live wallpaper pack because most of them don't work. OpenGL wallpapers don't work, they crash when the phone sleeps. There's plentyin the market though that work fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
Grdlock, what do you think about my issue that im having with nexus launcher running super slow after a lock screen exit. also the live wallpapers are not working on either home or nexus launcher.everything installed fine when I rooted.what about jcase's flash for wallpapers?? Any ideas??
[Droid Eris Android Development] 2wisted:
Is it the NexusMod live wallpaper from the market? If it is, that wallpaper didnt work for me either made my phone freeze up...dont know what the issue would be with it as im not a dev but there are other live wallpapers on the market that do work with jcase's live wallpaper/launcher2 patch im currently running the Plasma live wallpaper that I got from the market and havent had any issues with it also another that I have tried and works is the PopSquares and the Substrate live wallpapers

as far as the gallery i believe it doesnt work with the nexus launcher at all
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
yea its the NexusMod and the Gallery is not working right on any home i have
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
The NexusMod wallpaper is based off the original Nexus wallpaper, that's why it doesn't work either.

As for the gallery, that's a known issue when you put the phone in landscape mode. So far no one's been able to fix it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] KingNemesis:
Thanks GrdLock and everyone for all the help so far everything else is working great.

Now im trying to get this Rom Manger I got off the market and im stuck on the SU request. it keeps say that the super user is not working i keep having to FC it

Also my bars are low only 1 and 2 bar sometimes I updated using #228 and updated my radios is there anything else i can do or is this just a bug
[Droid Eris Android Development] evilsway:
trying to install extras i get "device not found" yes debugging is enabled
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
You need the updated driver .inf file. Check the FAQ on the post from Acidbath in the root section of Android Forums that I wrote. There's a link to it there.
[Droid Eris Android Development] chaneer:

So, I currently have the 2.1 Release Candidate leak Rom that is in the "Known Droid Eris Roms Patches and Hacks" stickied post. Sorry I can't post a link, my account hasn't been verified.

I installed the first/original 2.1 leaked ROM, and found that going to the 2.1 RC was my only options to clear some of the bugs I had. It works great, but I'm hoping that with this script I can root my Eris finally!?!?!

Basically, will this work on my Eris with the 2.1 RC leak that I installed found in the thread above?
[Droid Eris Android Development] GrdLock:
No, if you're running 2.1 leak you still can't root your phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] michaelkahl:
Thanks GrdLock
[Droid Eris Android Development] DRAGON TB7:
First want to thank all the devs that have gotten Root to work on the Eris. I'm trying to figure out why we can root 2.1 leak. From what I can see or read this whole process flashes the phones rom. When I think of that I assume that it is similar to formating a hard drive in a pc? So there is no rom or any thing other then the recovery partition. The 2.1 leak would be gone and we could add in any thing that we wanted to. So if that is the case then why cant this work for those that did the 2.1 leak? Sorry if this sounds a bit like a newbie question but the computer tech in me needs to know why I cant do this. Would love to help you guys with this if I can. Thanks again for all the hard work. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] als603:
to GrdLock: I am very new to the and based on the others having success I am trying to follow the set up you have listed in the all in one process, I am using a MAC. I believe I have the SDK properly installed, have copied the PMG file to my SD card and went through step #1 for the root, my phone updated to the 2.1 firmware, but I cannot get the Amon's recovery image to work, I have entered the adb shell in my terminal command and when I type su i get asked for a password. There is no superuser option in my application tab on my phone. questions are, do I need the recovery image or can I skip that step and just copy the 'eris2.1official-root.zip' to my SD card and run the update process again?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dangraef:
You will need the recovery image to be installed so you can use it to flash the eris2.1official-root.zip or whatever rom you choose to install.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lucidst8:
help sir please

I rooted my phone with the previous Eris 2.1 PBOOimg but couldn't get the Recovery partition and flash_image to work. I'm pretty new even with working in command prompts but I followed the directions and still couldn't get it to work. I've also used Root_Explorer and deleted a handfull of system files and apps that I never use.

This new script looks and sounds promising but If I follow this new Root script will it basically reset everything to the new Rom or will it mess my phone up?
[Droid Eris Android Development] buschbarber:
All-In-One Auto Script

I was able to successfully run these scripts. I had downloaded the Android SDK, but it seems that when I run the Setup program, it just launches the SDK but does not install anything. Everything is in the directory where I downloaded the SDK. I unzipped the scripts and associated files into the Tools directory and launched the scripts from there, after I connected the Eris to the USB Cable.

I am new to this phone and rather cautious as I do not want to turn it into a Brick, yet, I find that 2.1 allow me to use apps that would be very useful. Before this upgrade, I was thinking of returning the Eris and spending the extra $200 for the Incredible, which comes out next week. It is a bit faster, with a better camera, slightly larger, and it will come with 2.xx.

I see that there are three Home Screens; Home, HTC Sense, and Nexus Launcher. Home and Nexus Launcher look very similar, except for the button that brings up all the Apps.

I had to install a Live Wallpaper Patch in order to get Live Wallpaper to work. I had downloaded several Live Wallpapers, but the only ones that did not Crash or turn the screen Black were the Cube and Maps. Is there anywhere else I can get compatible Live Wallpapers? I do not know why Maps is considered Live unless the Map changes as I change locations. There is no way to Zoom in as with Google Maps.

The Widget list for Nexus Launcher and Home is significantly smaller than for HTC Sense. I am not sure why. I installed Home Changer, which lets me Change Home Screens without rebooting.
[Droid Eris Android Development] buschbarber:
The Home screens called Home and Nexus Launcher but definitely use the same Live Wallpaper. Change it on one and it changes for the other. I can only use the two Cube wallpapers and Maps. Earthlive Wallpaper, from Unixseb definately crashes my phone. It displays the annimation of the Moon revolving around the Earth, but when I choose Set as Wallpaper, it crashes.

One of the default Live Wallpapers, called Maps, displays either a Terrain, Satellite, or Street Map view of my neighborhood, but it is not detecting my Location as the Blue Dot on the center of the map. If I double tap on the map, it Sooms in, but I have no way of Zooming Out. It is not very functional.

Are there any other Live Wallpapers that will work at this time?
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I keep getting this error message:

The application Launcher(process com.android.launcher2) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Any suggestions to fix this in order to get the nexus launcher to work?
