It really was never stated specifically I dont know why people keep saying it was and to top it off people are stating this was from a twitter page which is hardly conclusive evidence of anything. Unless verizon has on their website Eris owners that have installed the leaked versions of 2.1 will also be able to update then I will believe it and then there might be an argument of verizon not following through. But at this time you cannot blame Verizon for installing software that was not officially released by them.
[Droid Eris Android Development] LiverpoolsNo9:
You can ask 10 different vzw employees the same question and get 10 completely different answers, so unless its an official announcement I wouldn't put too much faith in that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Im no mod but can we keep the thread more on topic, nothing should be posted in it unless there is an exploit that was found or something. I hate checkin these threads, seeing a new post, getting high hopes and its just people arguing. Please just post leak ROOT status things!

For example- Guys! One of our devs rooted the leak!

I wasn't saying that the twitter feed was "official" or anything, just stating where people were getting the info from. Sorry to contribute to this thread getting off topic. (redirecting thoughts)...

So about this possible vulnerability/exploit, I'm assuming it's still being worked on and there are no new developments. To the devs working on this, if any tests are needing to be ran, I'm volunteering my phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
They rooted the leak, where!
[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
its not they have a root for the 2.1 leaked, for people who are on leaks, its they have rooted versions of the 2.1 leaked for poeple who are rooted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stingbliss:
homewmt, I almost made the same joke.

Good times. :-)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
To home, and the one who almost stated the same joke, at no point do i say there is a rooted leak, im just people like you guys and now me just post b/s like arguments and things that dont directly relate to this thread which is about root status of the leaks, or am i wrong?

I'm sorry you don't have the time to go through 1 extra page, but is their really even a point to this thread? No developers have posted status on rooting the leaks, or any progress what so ever since pretty much the day this thread was started.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
Continues to post blabbing bs, i get you though, but they dont post updates cause there hasnt been break throughs or any progress, when there is they would have posted it here but they wont now because this thread cluttered with useless and senseless rants which will make them post a whole new thread basically named the same as this for us leakers to get real info on the status...im done bickering and contributing to the useless posts

We should post useful info so when people search its simple and clear...not cluttered with posts of people arguing like us, these posts are wasting readers time

And recently zifnab has posted a possible exploit which WOULD help leakers get root...thats relative to the thread

joebob213:

Not sure if this helps at all, but...I am on 2.1 v3 leak, and just for kicks, I took the original bootloader file "hboot.nb0" from the 2.1root-1.5 dowgrade process and put it on my sd card. Then I used estrongs file explorer and renamed it "update.zip" then went into recovery by holding vol up + pwr/end, then once to the red triangle with exclamation, held vol up, the pressed pwr/end. Once there I told it to "Apply sdcard:update.zip" It found the file, opened it, then started to verify it, then said "E:signature length doesn't match EOCD marker" then failed and aborted installation.

Like I said, not sure if it helps, but just thought it was interesting cause I had never seen it say that. Usually it just says verification failed. Anyway, good luck and thanks for working at this for all us leakers.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
thats because you messed up the file signature by renaming its extentsion and are trying to apply the file as a update.zip when thats not how the file is used.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hoovnick:
Ok, that makes sense. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this hacking/modding stuff. Do you know of any useful sites I can read up on to help me understand?

Perhaps the OTA will give developers a better base to root from
[Droid Eris Android Development] zero48160:

[Droid Eris Android Development] redman213:
So the EVO 4G got rooted, I hope someone is looking into what exploit they used.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
No one knows the exploit they used. They are keeping it under wraps until the Evo is released.
[Droid Eris Android Development] edgeupgx:
How are all other phones seem to be rooted so effortlessly and the eris like a brick wall of nice try....I think when it comes to my next android phone just so there isnt any problems I will not buy unless it has already been rooted. Granted I still love mine stuck with V3 leak on it but its getting harder and harder to convince my wife to flash roms to her phone lol.

Interpret it however you want, but I would assume "prior approved software" is android 1.5. I think verizon will not upgrade leaked phones to OTA.

I saw something over at phandroid that said Verizon was working to get some of the bugs fixed with the 2.1 update. Apparently it bothers them that some peoples weather widgets aren't working as this is the only problem it seems to address. Hopefully they fix some of the other problems with a new ota and if so maybe it will be pushed to us leakers. If not there is always a wall or toilet handy to assist in getting a new phone. I'm going to try to get one cause my phone keeps freezing and lagging horribly on calls. I think its my hardware and not the software.
[Droid Eris Android Development] billakid:
I just called verizon and lied and said my screen is freezing. "Okay sir were gonna send a new eris within 24-48 hrs". Now i can root
[Droid Eris Android Development] Elementix:
wow...so you pretty much just committed fraud like a lot of other people to get a new phone. Congrats... /s
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
Actually many of the Eris's coming from both Verizon and Asurion (insurance) are now coming with an upgraded HBOOT (just like the leak 2.1's).

Don't count your eggs until they've hatched.
[Droid Eris Android Development] AcidRoot:
Yeah I brought my eris into a verizon retail store and lied and said I was having battery issues because of the update that I was pushed to my phone (before the offcial ota was out). The guy said he would replace my phone but if there was a $400 dollar charge on my bill it was because the update wasn't pushed and I voided the warranty. He said there are markers on the account when updates are pushed. To this day day I think he was bluffing but I couldn't take the risk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nothing0:
If you want to... (I'm not telling you to do this) call tech support and order the replacement through them. It was a bluff.
[Droid Eris Android Development] AcidRoot:
Yeah I was going to but I still haven't got around to it should be easier since the ota is out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fox_dye:
This is a bit off topic but I've noticed a lot of people like to throw around the word fraud a lot. If you call say the phone messed up then they send you a different one. Not a new one a refurbished one. Then you send in yours and they refurbish it and send it back out. How is that fraud? Now with the insurance you pay a 90 dollar premium and 6 dollars a month. Plus if the phone is broken you have to send it in so woo who. Most of the people with insurance never use it and asuron is on every major carrier. So you do the math they rake in hundreds of millions every year and you don't even get a new phone its refurbished.

Like I said sorry its off topic but people need to stop acting like they are better than other people.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homer169:
Because if you claim there is a defect, it is warranty work. Htc and VERIZON foot the bill. It costs then money to ship the phone out so it can be reflashed. Then they have to pay to store it. So people that made a decision that they are now unhappy with are telling lies to get replacement equipment and costing the companies money. That cost will down the road cost those of us that didn't make the poor life choices. Why wouldn't it be fraud?

All this talk of getting replacement phones is great, but it'd be nice to get back on topic.

So, any word of progress or news on a possible vulnerability/exploit?
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
Guys if you get a refurb from Verizon then most likely it will have 1.5 with the 2.1 OTA waiting to be installed. (There should be a white sticker inside with the date it was inspected)

If you get a replacement from Asurion then you will get a brand new Eris with HBoot 1.49 (basically leak3)

How do I know this? I got 2 replacements, don't ask...
[Droid Eris Android Development] edgeupgx:
Quick off topic response about acidroot's post. Verizon can actually see if the update has been pushed to certain phones now it may not be your average idiot that you call in and speak with but higher up I know that by your phone meid it can be checked for sure.
[Droid Eris Android Development] refthemc:
Leak 3 and the OTA are basically the same. So it wouldnt matter if they pushed it or not because it already has it. Also, I'm sure Verizon already pushed it to EVERYONE's phone so it really doesn't matter.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
Not trying to be mean but lets try to keep this thread on topic

Anyone with a leaked droid eris thats wants root (hence the forum name-2.1 leak OFFICIAL root status thread) probably knows the OTA doesn't help with root AT ALL. The leaks updated the HBOOT to 1.49 while root requires HBOOT 1.46/1.47, OTA would not be able to downgrade the HBOOT
[Droid Eris Android Development] tkirton:
The official 2.1 for the Sprint Hero isn't rooted, either. There's at least a dozen developers trying to figure out how to root it. We regain partial root, but not full root.

This is a nightmare.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
How come some devices, such as the HTC EVO, can be rooted so easily while the droid eris, similar to the evo, can be almost impossible to root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
What methods give you guys partial root? I briefly read through your ROOT status thread but it's a long one (50+pages).

Also, are your devs working in an IRC channel somewhere where I can join them to discuss what they are working on?
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:

ok cool, i was just wondering cus i remember the last root thread for 1.5 had constant updates on what was tried and why it didn't work and i feel like that information was very beneficial.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jearl75:
I'm not speaking for the dev's here, but from what I gather, they were getting BOMBARDED with question after question about root. As you can imagine it wears on you, I know that some of them that were working on root aren't anymore, and some that do if they here of a new possible exploit. There are a couple that I know of that are working on it still, how far off it still is I have no idea. Hope this helps somewhat, but FWIW they are still working on it. :)

looks like another "discovered" rooted ROM, rather than an actual exploit being found.

Curses! (if I'm right about the implications)
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
There are two evo root methods.

One is an actual exploit, by Grack. It will not work, the eris does not have the vulnerability they use, I believe it to be a sprint addon.

Toast's method is similar to the desire/legend and sorta the eris. Its a testkey signed rom.

No help to us yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Raikalo:
What is it about the Eris that makes it so hard to root? Did HTC just patch every mode devs used to root other phones? I'm glad they found the pre-rooted test ROM..
[Droid Eris Android Development] fox_dye:
I don't think it was HTC I would put my money on big red making HTC patch the hell out of the software before they would release the phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] WalkingTaco:
I honestly doubt Verizon has the know-how to make sure every vulnerability is patched, this whole thing has HTC written all over it...but in the same vein, the verizon htc phones are the only ones that are such an utter pain in the ass to root...so who knows.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Aragorn450:
Well, I think we can be fairly certain that it's not Verizon as the Moto Droid was fairly easy to root. Frustrating to say the least though!

But I know it'll come and I also want to thank the devs for all their hard work.

I am wondering why Opera Mini 5 (or 4.2 for that matter) cannot be set as a default browser. Is there a strict requirement in android for an app to be "labeled" a browser?

My idea is this (and please correct my ignorance if it be there), someone could create an app that is able to be used as a default browser. that app could then use the link and open opera, place the link in the url line and hit the return key. I know, thats alot of coding just to make an app operate like it should have in the first place, but some of us "country bumpkins" (gprs service only!!!!) need the web page compression BAD!!!!
