Brand new to this process and to android, hope I'm posting this correctly . . . just used the Master App, everything worked perfectly, up to a point. Following the final reboot my eris has been repeating its HTC: quietly brilliant load screen for the past hour, which seems like a whole heap of wrongness. Again, apologies if this is the wrong thread, and thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
go into recovery mode again my holding Volume UP and power. Go and select wipe and choose the top two options. then go back and select flash zip from sdcard and select the custom rom to flash again. wait for it to do its thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
boot images and animations is something ive been exploring to add in as a feature. it just hasnt made top priority yet, but it probably will be added in at some point.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ZombieAmbassador:
Brilliant! Thanks! New problem, something about the update has now led to windows no longer recognizing the device driver, which in turn means I can't use your nifty app to restore my apps. Sigh . . . anything? Sorry to be a pain. Thanks again for the speedy response on my earlier panic. Feel like the slow kid in the A.V. Club
[Droid Eris Android Development] skd05:
im stuck

I have a eris with 1.5 i downloaded the microsoft 4 on my xp.where do i unzip the ema_full folder this is all new to me just trying to get it right thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
ur alive? HOLY SH&^! i havent heard from u in awhile..but theres a few that i have on my laptop that id be more than willing to zip and supply for the app.

NICE great to hear.. i mean im only asking cause this app is SO easy to use, i so recommend it to everyone with an eris!

its not as pictured in the first post but hey, its still gets the job done!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
unzip the file to anywhere you want. preferably on your desktop for easy use. then make sure you grab the update file as well. and replace the old application file with the new one.

and dont worry about messing up, as there is almost always a way to fix any problems.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
try reloading the device drivers for your phone. located in device manager.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
If you would like to supply those that would be great. Im glad some senior xda members are getting use out of this as well. that was my goal for it to be used by everyone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] kdub42:
EMA worked like a charm

Thanks to ECLIPS3 for buliding this app. I was comfortable enough doing it manually, but this app took care of all the steps easily and quickly - after i had run into an issue that i was working to troubleshoot. Really appreciate the dev work - keep up the good work!

-kw-
[Droid Eris Android Development] sandman_nyc_316:
This application is great! I can't believe how easy you made it ECLIPS3. You definitely rock! Thank you so much. I love my Eris again!!!!!!:cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] ronpandolfi:
When I run it I get "Unable to check device state, or you do not have your phone connected..." I have your drivers installed, device connected, card not mounted. Also, Adb.exe continues to run in background after I close your app. Here's whats in device_state.txt:

* daemon not running. starting it now *

* daemon started successfully *

device

Any clues? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] ronpandolfi:
nevermind...I didn't have the updated exe

Maybe you should add that to the zip?

...continuing...

Edit: first step went smoothly. I had to press trackball down when you said press volume up, but awesomely simple thus far.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
well its a waste of bandwidth to me, and everyone else to re upload a 200 meg file every time i make a change to my app, which is why i have the update file, which it states to get the update file multiple times. But i am working on a way to reduce the file size threw downloads of needed files.

Glad you figured it out! and thanks for using our application!
[Droid Eris Android Development] theGross1:
I'm on step 3. My phone rebooted like it said it would and now it says

"Build : RA-eris-v1.6.2" and it's been there for about 5 minutes. No recovery menu popping up...
[Droid Eris Android Development] theGross1:
NOt sure what went wrong but I got it working now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ronpandolfi:
I got to step three and am now stuck on the white screen with three skateboarding droids with the red textbox saying FASTBOOT USB...

Some quick help would be much appreciated, as I'm a bit scared now.

Edit:should I pull the battery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
for all of u having issues..HONESTLY just go ahead and use the batch that was supplied in the op.

it seriously cant get any easier than that..

ive been using this method since its release and i have yet to encounter any issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ronpandolfi:
k, not sure where the batch is...or where I would start at this point.

I found a guide that might mention my problem, but XDA won't let me post external links, so...

any ideas what I should do?

Edit: Pulled the battery and I'm back in the OS, the version number I have is 2.40.00.01.22 (2.19.605.1), not sure if that's root leak 3 like I was trying to get or not, but I'm safe again.

So, If I'm trying to install leak 3 rooted, do I give this program the .zip or the .img as a rom?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
.zip

at this point i dont think we're able to flash imgs via this app.

so go via step 3 ( flash new rom ) and take it from there
[Droid Eris Android Development] ronpandolfi:
Thanks for the help. Actually, the boot loader doesn't seem to load the recovery thing when I use vol up + red off. It just hangs at the white screen with FASTBOOT in red. I must have messed step 2 somehow. I guess I'll try the part III from this guide:

www[dot]thefuzz4.net/home/AndroidPhones/Eris/HowToRootYourHTCEris.aspx

Thanks for getting me this far.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
wait if ur getting that then ur not rooted sir.

ur trying to flash something that wont work on ur device..hence ur problems..
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
if everyone followed the directions, and dont try and use files outside of what is provided with this app, you should not be having any problems.

If you followed the directions in the app, you should NEVER be in fastboot mode. you probably hit a wrong button while trying to get into recovery mode. when the directions pop up, you can leave that box up.

my app flashes the recovery image in step 2. that is the only image you should need to flash. the only other files a user should have to flash is the roms, as update.zip, which is in recovery mode.

my app is easier than the batch file. if everyone can read and follow directions, then you wont have any issues. i have had over a dozen people use my app, and not had 1 error what so ever. only tiny bugs, due to very minor issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
there is like no way to mess up step 2. all you do is keep phone plugged in. hit step 2. then recovery mode is installed. i dont even know how you would go about messing it up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ronpandolfi:
Hm, I must be rooted. Step 1 went smoothly, I got into a rooted 2.1. I then used that other guide to install the recovery thing. I then got the rooted 2.1 v3 (leak 4) installed and am running it :) Step 2 must have thrown me off somehow.

So, hopefully I didn't miss anything :cool:

If I messed up its probably cause I both know very little about what most of this stuff is actually doing, and I was also trying to get leak 4.

Your directions are probably fine, I just got excited and messed somewhere.

I'm gonna have some pizza and celebrate, thanks to both Eclips3 and SoCal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SoCalSpecialist:
as u said..people dont read. they try to get to the flashiness of it all without paying attention to detail!

and i see where ur coming from, as i mentioned a few posts back this has to be one of the smoothest apps to date
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
socalspecialist, thanks for stepping in and helping them out. i got overloaded here on the irc trying to help people here and make changes to my app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ZombieAmbassador:
I've got my pretty root pastry up and running, couldn't have done it without ya. I was having a hard time taking that first step of cutting into my costly piece of consumer tech, and your work really helped open my eyes to all the options out there. Thanks again ECLIPS3.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roadrunnax1x:
Thank you very much ECLIPS3. I was reading the tutorial and I got stuck a lil and you application was awesome. Very easy to use very easy to undertsand.

I was able to root the phone in like 10 mins with your application. Of course you where guiding me the whole way. Really appreciate it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sheen160:
Thank you so much ECLIPS3! It worked great and made it so much easier to root. I was a bit worried about doing it on my own with all the commands, but with this I had no problem at all. Thanks for all your hard work :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Magnum72:
So just trying to make sure i don't mess anything up and understand somewhat, is this app is an easy way of doing the sticky "[Walkthrough] From stock (1.5) to rooted 2.1 (update - new link)" without having to do it manual? As i'm thinking about rooting the phone and trying the rombase "Rooted Leak3" that jcase posted. sorry for the noobness and thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
yes, my app does the same thing that guide does, just automatically for you. Also, that ROM that jcase posted is only for ROM cooks to base new ROMS off of. it is not meant to be installed for the regular user.

just make sure you read threw my fist post completely, then do all the prereqs and just follow all the directions.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jteter:
You guys have great support.

Thanks ECLIPS3 for your quick help getting sensable loaded with EMA. Great app!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Im glad that I and Jamezelle can help everyone out with this.

This was posted by Magnum72 in another thread:
[Droid Eris Android Development] skd05:
I rooted my phone last night with this method this rocks i totally love i cant get over how easy this was and every thing is running soooo smooth.i've been going over so many time should i or should'nt i i've read so many forms im so glad i came across this one.Thanks again it's like a new phone.:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] Squez:
Awesome

What a great app and an even better developer! I rooted my phone this weekend and it's running as smooth as ever. Thanks to ECLIPS3 for all the help. Who needs an Incredible!
[Droid Eris Android Development] cornbreadfarts:
this program was so easy to use. i had read about rooting my eris for weeks, then when i did root i used this app, and was disappointed that i just made myself read all of that. was easier than installing the leak on my previous phone. thanks eclips3. worked great. i recommend anyone that is going to root to use this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skd05:
If i want to flash another room i juft put it on my sd card an go to recovery and flash.or do i have to use your way step 3.whats another good up todate rom for my eris
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
you would put the rom on your sdcard

then go into recovery

go into nandroid and make a nandroid backup

then select wipe and wipe top TWO options

then go to flash zip from sdcard

then select rom to flash

thats how it would be done
[Droid Eris Android Development] skd05:
need some help

Im having alittle trouble i have evil eris 1.1 the 1st thing is why does my gmail keep asking me for my password up in my notification bar it say error wrong or no password.

2nd im only getting one bar on my signal i use to get 3.or 4 is there away to fix these things. thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
this is not the place to discuss about problems with roms. you would post that in frameworks thread about Evil Eris. However, i will tell you that the google sign in bug exists in that rom, because it was based off a previous version of the leaks that had it, while other leaks didnt.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lund777:
Super Thanks!

Thank you ECLIPS3, Jamezelle and others who helped. I used this and love love rooted Eris phone. I had my phone 30 days and read a billion articles on how to root this and how to root like that but your app made it simple. I'm too old to terminal my way threw crap anymore. Wifi tether, google goggles, the new android market, SetCPU to underclock for super battery life. EvilEris1.1 is running very good with few and far between fc. I'm so happy.

PS I also want to thank the crackers who made the root possible, they know who they are!

Getting a 404 error trying to download the drivers. Are they required in Win7?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
yes, drivers are required for any version of windows to recognize your phone. Sorry about download link, I accidentally deleted the file it was linking to in prep for our new release of the app. I fixed the link, so try downloading them again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gregor7777:
Hi, yeah, still getting the 404.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gregor7777:
n/m, all is well. I had the old page cached
[Droid Eris Android Development] tats_06:
This looks good...trying right now...installing framework 4. Will see. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] gregor7777:
This app worked great. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tats_06:
For custom ROM, does the ROM have to be on the SD card? Not there yet, but just trying to be prepared. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] tats_06:
Ok, so I tried installing updated drivers, but it tells me that there is not one for my system. I am running Windows xp home edition. I am getting worn out. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] crax0r:
Did you download the drivers from HTC's site. I believe they should be included in the SDK.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tats_06:
I actually got the root to work...but had to format the card...I am puzzled though as when it was done, I had 2.1 on phone...and I used the root PB.img file. But its alright, next will be loading the fresh Rom in a few days. :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Version 2.0 has been released. New layout, many bug fixes. See first post for details.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skd05:
how do you install the new update version 2 dont want to mess up anything thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
our app is designed to be standalone meaning there really is no installing done. it is just ran from wherever it is ran from.

so just extract the new EMA_Download.zip file to wherever you want then just run the application.
[Droid Eris Android Development] skd05:
im sorry if i sound stupid but im lost i downloaded the zip ema download debug is on and i ran the app once i got there it said choose one rom to download to your pc i choose the senseable then it said could not find file what am i doing wrong
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Make sure that you click to download the Custom ROM, the Root ROM, and the Recovery Image at the same time. If you dont download them all at once it will give that error.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nomorefear:
I am getting the same error and I have done everything perfectly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
What is the exact error message that you get. I have a couple messages that are very similar but slightly different. I wont be home until 10pm eastern to debug anything, but once i get home i will definitely start on it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gunit1354:
Awesome!!! got tired of waiting, and this was a breeze to use!!! Thanks so much for all your hard work:D Navigation forcloses everytime (anyone else experience this) but everything else seems to work fine.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
This looks great :) but I can't get to the drivers...I keep getting 404 error, tried clearing history and cookies still get the 404 error? Thanks for any help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Your welcome. glad jamezelle and i were able to help out.

If you are having trouble with a rom, please post in the respective rom folder as you will have a greater chance for getting help with it.

Sorry about that. i misspelled the usb_driver.zip file path in the html code for the website. i fixed it so it should work now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
Got the drivers now thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] selliott80919:
Device not found in app

Hi all,

I love the concept, but unfortunately my Eris is still not being detected by the app. I have HTC Sync loaded as a proof source, which is detecting my Eris without issue. Currently running Win 7 X64.

Am I doing something wrong, or does the app not currently support Windows 7 x64?

thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] selliott80919:
So, first problem figured out

Well, it looks like I am going to be the problem child on this one... I figured out my issue, and got the base image installed on my phone. Now the tool again won't recognize my phone (obviously not the same as the first issue), and so I can't get the recovery image installed / new rom installed, nor can I reload my apps.

Any thoughts or helpful tips would be very much appreciated...

thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
make sure you end the htc sync program from your computer / uninstall it. as that can cause issues with the app not detecting the phone, which is a common issue, which really is ADB not recognizing the phone but my app is telling you about it.

also, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me the exact error messages you get, just say app wont recognize phone or telling me half the message you get or paraphrasing it makes it difficult for me to debug it or help you or others solve your problems.

and yes, the app supports win 7 x64. thats what im using to develop and test it on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I got all the way to step 4 without issues. I completed both wipes and then went to flash zip from sdcard.

Error:

E:No Zip Files Found.

where does the program store the custom rom i picked? Vanilla rom.

I'm hoping I can leave my eris on the step 4 screen, take the SD card out and put it into my pc. manually copy the zip file to the root of my SD, then put the SD back into my eris and select (flash zip from sdcard) again to complete the process.

I'm worried if I power off my eris I will be bricked. (I just got it today from a warranty replacement, I'm sure they wont give me a new one)

:p

let me know if the above will work and what file I need to copy over to the SD card. thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I did the above. (copied to SD card manually). I had to power off b/c it kept telling me there was nothing on the sdcard. VOLUP + Power on and it found the zip file and its flashing now..
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
I keep getting the following message on step 1:

Unable to download files. the most probable reason is the app can't find the files

I have tried deleting the app and reloading...any ideas?

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
apparently there is a bug in our app where it doesnt copy the custom rom to the sdcard. we are looking into it now. the roms are stored in the EMA_Files/_UPLOAD/_ROMS folder. and you shouldnt be able to brick your phone by shutting down the phone, pull sdcard, place into pc, copy rom to sdcard, then put sdcard back into phone then turn on phone and boot into recovery mode by holding VOLUME UP + POWER.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
thank you for giving me a more complete error message than what others have given us. what files have you checked to download and what rom where you trying to download?

The error message you are getting means that when our app tries to connect to the server to download the files, either it cant find the file on the server, or the server is returning an error to our app, and therefor the file is unable to be downloaded. try waiting a bit, say half hour or longer and try download the files again. if that still fails, try downloading a different rom. if they still fail to download, please let us know each time it fails and what files you have tried to download so we can see if we can find the problem and fix it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
I tried several variations, but the first one and the one I tried the most was

Senseable Rom

With the recovery and root image checked as well.

After several tries I tried checking each different rom one at a time and then downloading. Keep getting the same message.

Thanks for the help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MJL99:
So I searched this tread and found nothing, sorry if I missed it but was wondering, will there be a version released for Macs at any point?
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
I tried downloading again this, time checking each one individually and then closing and restarting the app. The only one that downloaded was the recovery image.

Would it be possible to download the files from my browser and put them in the correct folder and then start the app from step 2?

Thanks Again
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
it was posted up in the first thread near the bottom that it is windows only right now. we are trying to get it ported to java so it can work cross - platform, but it probably wont be for a while. sorry :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
I just tried downloading the files, Senseable ROM, ROOT Image, and Recovery Image, and they all downloaded, so its not a problem with the server its connecting to.

Try downloading them from another computer and see what happens as the issue seems to be related to your pc / internet connection.

Do you have at least 150 meg of free memory (RAM) in your computer?

And, unfortunately, you can't skip any of the steps, or close the app and come back, as you need to start from step 1 and go all the way through.

However, there is a way to skip the steps, but you would have to use a hybrid method between the app and typing the commands in manually to complete it.

if you hop on the IRC server at irc.zifnab06.net #droideris or #erisroothelp we are always in there and could walk you through it. you would get a faster response time, and is easier to explain that on here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] MJL99:
Re: [Application] Eris Master Application [R00T] - update

Yeah I saw it was posted for windows only. Its not a big deal to me, I just know a few people with macs that would like to root but this is the only thing that would let them do it without having to sit down and help them thru it. Thanks tho.
