not sure what happened

is it possible that i got a new kernel while doing step 2 "Get Phone Rooted"

i definitely started with an Eris 1.5, and i only did Step 1 and Step 2, and now i have:

Firmware Version 2.1

Baseband version 2.4.00.001.22

Kernel version 2.6.29-5898f66b, htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

Build number 2.19.605.1 CL123435 test-keys

Software number 2.19.605.1

E.g., I didn't do Step 3 - Recovery Install or Step 4 - New Rom Install.

(and, now i can't get my vista32 box to see the android drivers. it shows up as an Unknown USB - but doesn't show up in explorer - and when i point it to the Android drivers, windows says i've got the wrong version. somehow the .inf file is outside the x64 and i386 folders.)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ferrocene:
You definitely need to do more steps. You may just have the developer rooted ROM. Press the trackball to select "Yes".
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
push the trackball in to start the update.

reinstall the drivers, then start from step 1 again. all steps must be completed in one sitting. do not close out of the app and come back in, or you will have to start from step 1 again.

if you still need help, visit the IRC server.
[Droid Eris Android Development] AmbientBlu:
Eclips3, I am having the same issue as the poster you replied to here. I have tried downloading the ROM (tried each twice) as well as the 2 image files on 2different computers and am receiving the message "Unable to download the files. The most likely cause is that this app cannot find the requested file."

I wish I could head over to the IRC chat, but I'm stuck at work for the next 4 hours and am blocked from doing so on the company server.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
ive downloaded every rom, and it works fine. ive had 2 other ppl download every rom as well, and they work perfect.

what is your internet speed? cable, dsl, dial-up? what firewall are you using? norton, mcafee, avg, webroot, kaspersky, trend micro, other?
[Droid Eris Android Development] AmbientBlu:
I'm working on a broadband connection (I think it's a T-3), basic Windows firewall (since my ZoneAlarm interfered with my MacAir router) and AVG for my anti-virus.

I'm wondering now if perhaps something in the office network is blocking the connection to the server to download the files. If I find myself patient enough, I'll wait until I get home tonight and try it again. These damn university servers block the most random things sometimes.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
It probably is the servers blocking your connection. Try again from home and let us know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] AmbientBlu:
Home now, still getting that same error message. Same laptop, this time on a wireless cable connection.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
ECLIPS3 and jamezelle rock!

These guys made this app and helped me LIVE via chat. The app is extremely smooth with only a little fine tuning to do and everything went off without a hitch. I'm going to be donating to these guys ASAP!

Thanks to both of them and t2noob who also helped me. If anyone else did that I don't remember, consider yourself appreciated as well!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
The error message saying it cannot find and download the file seems like a bug related to the operating system and not my app. If you are having trouble downloading these files through the app, please let us know what operating system you are running, and whether its up to date with windows updates and whether it is 32 or 64 bit.

Thank You!
[Droid Eris Android Development] orchard_112:
ECLIPS3 - thanks for the detailed instructions. I've read the whole thread - I lose you on this. I plan to root using your app, I am confused on this statement. Why do a nandroid backup? Is that installed as part of the EMA 3-step process in the recovery partition? - Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Those steps are only for if you want to change what rom you are using. so if you download Eris Official by ivanmmj, and want to go to senseable by jamezelle, then you would need to do those steps. The nandroid backup makes a copy of the whole entire phone so that if you decide you want to go back to the rom you just had, you would do a restore. all your files would still be there, all the apps still setup and installed, email links added, just like how you originally had your phone before changing roms. the nandroid is an option in the recovery mode, which is installed during the root process.

I also replied to your post on androidforums as well. The app takes care of the whole rooting process. read the first post over again, then do the prereqs. download the app, and follow ALL the directions.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
I've tried going throught it twice now and both times on step two when it tells me to hit the up volume to say yes...nothing happens. Any ideas
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
yes, push the trackball in.
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
For whatever reason it will not set up a recovery mode on my phone...tried twice same thing does nothing at step two when I hit volume up, so when it gets to the last part and tries to go into recovery I just have a little android and a ! inside a triangle....Giving up...will probably just install the latest leak
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamezelle:
wow dont do that !!!

what step are you on?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
can you hop on the IRC channel. if you we can help you a LOT faster and more efficient. if you cant then we can continue here.

so on step 2 - getting root. when you pushed the trackball in to start the update, what happened? did you wait for it to do the update or did you immediately continue on to step 3 - recovery mode before getting root first?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thefuzz4:
If your not sure how to get on IRC I have webchat on my site that connects to our irc server go here http://www.thefuzz4.net/home/Chat.aspx
[Droid Eris Android Development] prestonville:
Just wanted to say a big thanks to eclips3 he just spent about an hour chatting me through the process....now have a rooted phone!

Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Android Development] dankbud:
password

What's tha password? I extracted the ema download and it asked for a password
[Droid Eris Android Development] denonlake:
Dowloaded roms

Where does the program dowload the roms to? ZI put a custom rom into the upload\roms folder and it says there are no roms to push to phone..
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
there is no password for it.

the program downloads the roms to the _ROMS folder and the root files to the ROOT folder. right now, there is no way to select which rom you want to put on your phone with our app except for the choices there. we are working on adding new roms to that list, and the functionality to select which rom to load, from a source outside of the d/l list.

you would have to load the rom manually onto your phone. we can help you with that. just hop on our IRC server. info is at the bottom of my signature or a web based connection posted a few posts up by TheFuzz4.
[Droid Eris Android Development] denonlake:
Thanks

I know how to load them manually just thought it might be nice to have a one button install option. Love your program though It has made it seemless when rooting my friends phones.... alot easier than when i did mine!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
yes, we are going to be implementing a lot of features, but the coding takes time. between school, work, and here / irc for both of us, theres not much time. and we see 10x the amount of people trying to root in the irc that we have to walk through it, which takes up time.

some things we are going to add

-try and fix a bug in the windows xp operating system

-change roms

-backup apps for non root

-restore market updates for root (trying to find way for non root to root)

-flash boot andimations

-sign roms and .apk files

-updater program (dont just need to polish it)

-support for more devices

-for d/l links for more roms

-dynamic links for rom changes(when dev adds a new rom, the d/l link changes so we need to change what that d/l link is in the app)

-licensing system
[Droid Eris Android Development] litlwyld66:
Same issue as prestonville

I was successful at doing all 3 steps in the "Rooting the Phone" section. Once I got the "Phone is now rebooting into recovery mode" text box all I get on the phone is a white triangle with an ! and a small green android.

I followed all of the directions and everything was working fine up until this point. Please advise what I should do now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] flinteastwood:
Alright, so I had the worst thing happen to me ever. I completed almost all of step 4 and was about to install the image when my cat decided to run full force at me as soon as I pressed the track ball. My phone dropped to the ground, the battery flew out, etc. Now I'm screwed and desperately trying to figure out how to fix this. I hope I didn't brick the thing, but when I try to load the OS the zip from the SDcard is now gone.

I can get to bootloader, but about all I can do is get into Recovery and Fastboot mode. Any suggestions, or am I SOL?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spencer_Moore:
Do you still have to update the app every time I update my rom? :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] dankbud:
ema app

i downloaded .net version 4 but when i click on the ema app it says i need to download it.. but i already did can anyone help me through this please
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
Did you install it and then restart your computer?

Right now, yes because we haven't set the app up for link updates threw a text file yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerodayATK:
Windows XP 32bit ... no high priority updates are needed... Going to look for you in IRC for help. I can download the recovery image, but nothing else will download.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Puxxie:
Okay I did everything but Im stuck on how to connect my phone to the EMA, I downloaded the drivers and when I got to install them my comp says the best drivers are already installed then when I try to use the app it can't find my device?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
are there any other items in the device manager that had a yellow or red marking next to them?

if you can hop on our IRC server, that would be great to be able to offer you help live. it will speed up the support a lot faster.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dankbud:
i restarted and it says its installed.but when i run the app it says i dont have .net 4.. but i do
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
are you sure you installed it? did you restart your computer after installing .net 4? what version of windows are you running?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerodayATK:
I got help in IRC. Thanks ECLISP3!

Eris Master App Update file

- Fixes files not downloading in windows XP

- Fixes a few minor bug fixes

replace the old file with this new one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] y3ahright:
Thanks for this amazingness. I used it to root my phone and it got me started on everything great work and

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] les017:
Slick looking app - glad it's working for so many.

But for some reason I can NOT get past step 1. Oh lord I hope this isn't just me being a putz. Before I d/l this app I was ready to go thru The Walkthru to Root, so I had SDK, USB drivers, etc. But regardless of whether I point to SDK drivers or the drivers I d/l as part of these instructions from Grdlock's site, I always get "The hardware was not installed because Windows could not find the necessary software.

USB Debug enabled

I have yellow ! on OtherDevices>ADB in Device Mgr.

Right click for typical driver install.

Browse to folder usb_driver - but it appears empty in ther dialog

Say "search this location" and come up empty

usb_driver folder DOES contain: amd64 folder, i386 folder, android_winusb.inf, androidwinusb86.cat, androidwinusb64.cat and source.properties.

Running Win Xp Pro 2002 SP3

any ideas? Thanks in advance
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
thank you for the comments. did you try installing the drivers from the SDK folder? they are the same drivers i provide, but it might work. If that still doesnt work, download the HTC Sync application, which will install the drivers for you. Before you go to use the app, just make sure the HTC Sync app is not running, or it could cause issues with the EMA app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] les017:
Yeah I installed from both, same result. I thought about the Sync app, thanks for the confirmation.

Any clue as to why I ran into this? Seems obvious it's something with my pc/phone combo. Additionally I also tried doing a specific install for an ADB device. This DID let me see and chose the driver but error out with something like "this does not contain info for your device"

Oh well thanks SO much for the quick response! I'm going in!
[Droid Eris Android Development] g00gl3:
Windows runs into driver issues at times. A good way to clean it up is to uninstall/delete the device from Device Manager. Then reboot your computer. Once it boots back up, connect your Eris again. You should see it go through the driver install process again. This time choose the driver from the SDK folder. Good luck!
[Droid Eris Android Development] les017:
yep tried that too. But by then I was tired and pissed so maybe I forgot to reboot :p Now I need to wait for wifey to return with her phone :rolleyes:
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ebaneezor:
odd. Win7 os - step 1 goes fine, i see the files downloaded, get a msg to continue to step 2, I click step 2 button, then nothing happens except an occassional blue circle that windows does to tell you its working on something.

Phone is in debug mode

SD card is not mounted, just charge mode

phone is on and running 2.1ota

All usb drivers are up to date

not sure where to go now, lol...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ebaneezor:
re-starting....

Same result after re-starting the Master ap...just cycles after clicking step 2.

Can someone assist please?
[Droid Eris Android Development] les017:
good luck Ebaneezor, be patient and these guys will get you squared away, no doubt.

As for my issue with drivers, the HTC sync install took care of it. I'll likely run the script tomorrow. Thanks again Eclips3!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Ebaneezor:
thanks les :)

im being patient, re reading as I am positive its a user error, lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] les017:
Hmmm, drivers loaded, EMA and EMA update file d/l and ready to go. Select files > ROM, Root Image and Recovery Image.

Step 1 Message - "Unable to d/l the files. Most likely cause app cannot find the requested file, or use are using Windows XP"

I d/l the latest EMA Update file, else I get a different message without the XP reference. I thought the update file was to fix XP issues.

Any ideas...or am I just a problem child?
[Droid Eris Android Development] les017:
I guess just consider my last post a bug report? Moved to Windows 7 and all seems to be going fine....so far. Pretty dang cool IMO
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
if you would like to post a bug report go to our our google code page: http://goo.gl/yAG7

and sorry about delay getting back, been at work all day. i guess we will have to go back to the code and see if we can fix the xp bug again. which is hard to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] droid-noob:
Couple of *scared* noob questions about using EMA

First of all, I just want to say thanks to ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle for their efforts on EMA, this thread, and IRC. From reading all 17 pages of posts I see that you guys really care and enjoy the work you do here.

In reading all 17 pages I had some questions rattle around in my head I thought I'd ask to clarify my understanding:

1. Is it possible to use EMA to enable root, but leave the stock Verizon/HTC 2.1OTA in place (instead of using a custom ROM)? At this time I'm only interested in root and maybe sometime in the future I may experiment with other ROMS (once I feel more comfortable with all this). This way I can still get future OTAs from Verizon until I'm more proficient at all the gritty techy details of this forum.

2. Or if #1 is not possible, is there a way to revert back to the stock Verizon/HTC 2.1OTA ROM (in case I need warranty work or some help from Verizon customer service staff at my local retail store)? The question assumes that I've used EMA (all steps 1 through 4) and applied a custom rom of my choosing.

3. Lastly, my mobile phone is my ONLY means of getting/making calls. If I screw up using EMA (user error as the app seems really idiot proof for guys like me), is it hard to "restore" it to working condition?

Again, thanks for the efforts. You guys are really amazing! And when I'm ready to jump on the Eris-ROOT bandwagon, I'm sure I'll pop onto IRC and chew your ears off asking, begging, pleading for help to fix my blunders. :-P
[Droid Eris Android Development] TDianna:
Guys,

I am giving this a try...I returned my phone to Verizon and they gave me a new phone with 1.5 and I updated to the OTA 2.1. I am on step 4 right now and the screen has a ! and a little droid...I guess I should wait for the recovery mode....correct?

OK, the phone has fully rebooted and I hit step 4 and I guess I have to wait for the roms to download....correct?

I am kinda stuck here..can someone help me? I am on step 4 and the app is just sitting there, shall I have the phone charging or mount the sd card?
[Droid Eris Android Development] droid-noob:
Try IRC

I've not given the EMA a try yet, so you're definitely braver than I am. That being said, the creators ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle seem to be on IRC. Also from what I've read of all the 17 pages of posts, they seem to bee really good with giving "live" help via IRC. Here's the www[dot]thefuzz4.net/home/Chat.aspx. Just pick a nickname and hit submit. It takes you into the chat window where you can ask those folks avail to assist you.

Sorry I wasn't able to help you myself.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mrmidnight:
Thanks

After the BS from vzwsupport on twitter today I got fed up and realized that the leak may never be rooted and the usb port found itself loose today, got a new eris, and rooted it using this program. It was very simple, and I appreciate the hard work that has gone into this program. Thanks Eclips3 and jamezelle
[Droid Eris Android Development] InciterDK:
First of all tnx for a nice tool

unfortunately it doesnt work for my stock hero :(

when clicking "reboot" nothing happens to my phone.

I can see the tool copies the "PB00IMG.zip" to SD card but when i reboot with vol down button it starts to look for "herodiag.zip" and "herodia#.zip" (where # = 1-3) which it cant find :(

am i doing anything wrong?

We are taking down this application until we can go over the code again to fix some bugs that people are having issues with. Some have reported it works fine, others have been having some issues. We are working on recoding this app as soon as we can, and will get a new working build out for you guys. Until then, it will have to be done either threw grdlocks script, or manually. Support is always available on the IRC server.

We applogize for the inconvenience. Check the thread and the IRC server for updates.

Major update - Re Uploaded the App

We have brought back the Eris Master App as the Android Master App. It has a new name in preparation for support for more Android devices. We have a little bit more of a fix for the XP bug. Hopefully this fixes it more, but the downloads will be slower if your on XP until we can do a proper fix. We have also included an Error Log handling feature. If there are any errors, it will try to automatically send us an email with the log file. If it cannot send us the email, the log file will pop up for you so you can get in contact with us and send us the log so we can fix the issue.

Download the application from here: http://tinyurl.com/2b4af3b then run the self extracting .exe zip file, and let it extract to its default location, which is c:\AMA\ then go into the folder there and run the application. Select a ROM to download, and the Root Image, and Recovery Image, then start the downloads.

If you need any support, it is always available on the IRC server.

Check the thread and the IRC server for updates.

dude, sweet
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
we have been getting some email log reports of files not downloading while on xp. we are still investigating a fix for it. also, if some of hte roms dont download, that could be the XP bug. If you try and download Evil Eris, and it doesnt download, that is because of where the file is being downloaded from. We am working with Framework to get it uploaded to a better location to download from.
[Droid Eris Android Development] issombeituni:
will this work for my sprint hero with 2.1 ota
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
no, this is for the eris only right now. we are working on getting support for more android devices, but its only the Eris right now.

How do you select a film or a cinema from the drop down list?

[Android Apps and Games] Evostance:
I had an idea how to save power.

How it works is that it would run in the background of the phone.

By default WiFi is turned off, however when an app requires some form of data connection, the WiFi app recognises this and turns on the WiFi.

If a WiFi network is near and you already have the password stored in the phone it connects to the network.

If a WiFi network is near and you dont have the password stored it prompts you with a popup. If you cancel the popup, WiFi gets turned off.

This way power can be saved so WiFi doesn't have to always be on and only gets turned on when needed.

Possible? What you think?
[Android Apps and Games] zmattmanz:
Juicedefender does this. It will cut off your WIFI if it's not around known networks. I think you have to buy ultimatejuice (it's worth it).
