Lookin for some fun in my day.

Where is the RUU/exe that came out.

I wish to be a test case for stupidieness, is that a word?

I will run and then check for root.

Has ANYONE actually run it and then tried to root?

Since I have the insurance and a large sledge hammer in the shed, why not!

So, let's get this going, where 's that file?

Thanks,

Bubba.

Misc. mods work, but w/ glitches...

ie.) LockScreen w/ menu fix mod - works, but shows up vertical rather than horizontal on my attempt

Camera looks different, but that could be because I haven't used it in so long I've forgotten what it was supposed to look like, lol...

hey damage could ya try and throw friendstream in ur update tonight
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
Ok, get to step six on the rooting process and it kills the cmd.

At least that how far I got.

So it looks like the root has been patched for sure.

This should bring a close to the Q & A about root.

So everyone raise a glass to me for sacrificing the Ole Hero ! :eek:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tzbf2006:
OH Man...Sorry to hear that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bubbacs1:
No, no, no....it's NOT bricked.:cool:

Just NO root for now.

Thought I'd take the plunge and get the final answer on root or no root.

The phone is fast as, well let's just say fast! :D

I'm all good, just testing and passing along the information.

Thanks,

P.S. Guys/Gals...I ran the RUU...not damages version....just making sure you all know.

For anyone who's NOT on a LEAKED version of 2.1, you can still Root.

We have verified that the PB00IMG.zip goes through its checking process, and asks to update. It looks very much like the Root PB00IMG.zip IS able to be flashed over any phones that went from 1.5 to OTA 2.1.

So anyone who's holding back on going from 1.5 to OTA 2.1, for fear that they wont' be able to root, let your fears disappear.

Special thanks to ssgtob1 from AndroidForums.com who bravely tested booting up in HBOOT with the Root PB00IMG.zip on his SD card.

Thank you for your help, and anyone who DIDN'T leak, we STILL have you covered for Root. Go ahead and follow any set of normal directions for 1.5 to root, and you should be all set to Root your phone.

FOR LEAKERS: Some exploits are still being explored. I hope something comes to fruition. You will know as soon as anyone knows. I promise.

Thanks,

Paul

Peed on yet again leaking sucks. All I know is patience is a virtue I will forever remember to have after this phone. Guess im going to update to v3 leak from v1 since cannot update.
[Droid Eris General] Elementix:
Maybe you should continue to be patient with v1?.....
[Droid Eris General] xtremeskier97:
So, Ive updated to the OTA and did not have root on my 1.5 when I updated. Are you saying that even though I have done this that I can still root? If so, which tutorial/directions should I follow?
[Droid Eris General] DigitalMD:
Don't worry, two things have been confirmed.

First the OTA will not work with the leaked ROMs installed.

Second, the OTA is exactly the same as the 2.1 leak v3.

This was confirmed on Android-forum by someone that took the time to compare every single file and CRC the binaries. The only difference was that the leaked ROMs use a different bootloader to install as they did and the actual OS and apps are exactly the same so if you got leak v3 you got the OTA.

The OTA won't install because you are already running it. The only down side is you still cannot root, but otherwise you have as good or better than the OTA.

.
[Droid Eris General] DigitalMD:
So far, I have not come across a cooked ROM for root that does not have bugs or that functions as well as the OTA (which also has a few bugs). I'm hoping that the development will continue or even increase so we will have better ROMs soon.
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
The exact directions, as if you were 1.5. You have a few options. If you have Windows, an easy way to go about it is this:\

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661413

The manual method does, literally, the EXACT same thing, it's just a teeny bit more technical, but you learn a lot about your phone in the process (that you wouldn't have learned using the Eris Master Application). If you're pretty technical (or using Mac OSX or Unix or Linux) then I would use the following tutorial (except, if you have Unix/Linux, you don't have to worry about drivers, and it's "./adb" instead of "adb" when you're running commands).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647707

Good luck!

I must vouch for Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 being as bugless as the OTA, in my experience. This guy's been cooking ROMs for all kinds of phones for YEARS, and knows what he's doing. 100% clean, looks like stock, and is a lot faster.

Root after 2.1 OTA upgrade from 1.5

OK,

Let me get this straight and understand it crystal clear. Are you saying that an Eris with 1.5 without root can get the 2.1 OTA upgrade and later get root? Has anyone done this? Hoping it's true as I just got the OTA and installed it based on this thread. BTW, 2.1 .......NICE!

Bill
[Droid Eris General] false_apology:
Yes it is possible, and yes it has been done. I believe if you got the 2.1 OTA from a stock 1.5, the documented root method will work fine.

If you got 2.1 from any of the three leaks, you are stuck without root.

(Someone correct me if I'm wrong though! :o )
[Droid Eris General] bczygan:
Add on question about rooting the OTA 2.1

I amn in the process of trying to root from the 2.1 OTA. Am I correct in thinking that following the walkthrough, that I will be replacing the OTA with another ROM which is functionally the same, but not the same exact one? Can I later redo the OTA from a file? Will this eliminate root?

Bill
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Following the walkthrough OR using the Eris Master Application (if you have Windows) will work JUST fine. (even though those things say you NEED 1.5, that's not exactly true, because OTA 2.1 works as well).

Once you Root, put a Recovery on there, then flash a nice ROM from Recovery, you will flash a ROM (like Ivan's Eris_Official_1.0) that has AT LEAST the exact same functionality as the OTA.

Later, if you want, you can follow the method documented on http://www.androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/ in the All Things Root section, and click on AcidBath's thread, stickied at the top (then scroll about one page down) for DOWNGRADING from Root 2.1 back to Stock 1.5 (yes it is possible), then follow the tutorial for applying the MANUAL OTA update.

This will take you back from Rooted 2.1 back to OTA 2.1, if you should so choose (though I can't think of a good reason why you'd do that).

Once you have root, and you're using things like WiFi tether and so on, I'm guessing you won't go back. But the option IS available. And yes, if you go back to 1.5 then manual OTA, you will lose root, but you can GET IT BACK the same way you're getting it right now.
[Droid Eris General] andybones:
pkopalek - Very good info.

I'd just like to add that I manual upgraded from 1.5 to OTA 2.1 and hated it,

and found it possible to go from OTA 2.1 back down to 1.5..and I found the

process to be much easier than the manual OTA install.

I'd like to root now but after reading your instructions, (android forums site is

down right now), I'm still confused.
[Droid Eris General] bczygan:
Root after 2.1 OTA upgrade from 1.5

I did the root last night. Took a while, but everything worked good. I now have recovery and can try other ROMS. Not quite sure yet how to access root or use su. But I love the wireless tethering. Using it right now. Used to use a wired tether program but this is better. I did lose all my apps and settings, but will rebuild it all. I don't think I'll use the OTA again. Love having root. Thanks to all who make this possible.

Bill
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
Rooting, you just follow the directions for Rooting a 1.5 phone. If you're on the OTA, that's fine, if you're on 1.5, that's fine. The directions are 100% exactly the same.

The link I posted above was for DOWNGRADING from Root 2.1 to normal 1.5. Ignore that. Here's where you want to be:

The Eris Master App works GREAT if you have Windows:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661413

Or do the normal manual Rooting method (it's exactly the same thing, just the App does the commands for you, or you do it yourself -- this is the method that I use, every time):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=647707

I suggest Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 for a ROM, instead of 0.8t2 or whatever is suggested in that thread (that thread is kind of old).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652044
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
I recommend Ivan's Eris_Official 1.0 for you too. Download and put it on your SD card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652044

Boot your phone into recovery, do Backup/Restore > nand backup (to back up your phone) then go back to main menu (volume down), Wipe > Wipe factory/data reset, wipe Dalvik Cache (both), back to main menu (volume down), Flash Zip from SD Card, flash Ivan's Eris_Official.

You'll be doing great.

ALSO:

anyone who's rooting and flashing these ROMs should also be flashing the latest Radio that comes with the OTA:

yeah i rooted from the OTA and it worked fine it just took a bit longer than it should've because i had some trouble doing it on a mac but i figured it out eventually.

just follow the instructions and you should be fine *only if you are the 2.1 OTA or 1.5*
[Droid Eris General] pyroboy1080:
Hi! I'm on 2.1 OTA, and my droid Eris has never been modified in any way at a software or hardware level. I am running HBOOT 1.47.0000. Whenever I use the PB00IMG.ZIP (of which I have checked the MD5 sums) and reboot into the bootloader screen (The one with "HBOOT" and searches for images) I always get "No Image or wrong image!" and am never presented with the option of "push activate" as a result. Any tips? Yes, the PB00IMG.ZIP is in the root of the SD card. I can't really think that I'm doing anything wrong, as I've read the instructions a billion times, and checked every site with instructions, to see if there was any variation in methods.

Any input or tips (other than "don't root your phone" ;)) would be greatly appreciated!
[Droid Eris General] wm1:
It Works!!!

I gave up root for the OTA...never again. I'll 2nd (3rd, 4th, etc) if you are on the OTA you can get root. Thank God...so glad to be back. ;-)
[Droid Eris General] Monkeypuppet:
Ok so I have what might be a very elementary question. And I apologize in advance if this is not the right thread or just generally a dumb question.

Is there any advantage or disadvantage to rooting from 2.1 OTA vs. 1.5? Also is there any real difference between my phone rooted from 1.5 and my wife's phone rooted from 2.1?

Verizon said leakers would get ota so would this work?

1.5>2.1 leak 1>2.1 leak 2>2.1 leak 3>2.1 OTA>Root
[Droid Eris General] pkopalek:
One of two possibilities:

#1: Did you check the md5 hash on your Root PB00IMG.zip? You can use a utility like this:

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/File-Management/MD5-Checker.shtml

and the md5 hash for the PB00IMG.zip that you should be using is 63EACC5EDE3B179F95DC22D8EF585F94

If it's not, that's the problem. Try downloading it again, and make sure the md5 sum is correct before you put it on your SD card.

#2 (if that's not the problem:) Maybe your SD card is not in the right format?

Try backing up your SD card (drag all its contents to a folder on your computer), and going home > menu > settings > SD Card & Storage > Format SD Card

THEN put all of the backed-up contents of your SD card back onto the SD card, drag them from your computer. Including the PB00IMG.zip.

Then, as long as you have the right PB00IMG.zip, and it's not corrupt or anything (Google Chrome sometimes corrupts things while downloading, if you're using that by chance), report on your progress.

The other option is to use the Eris Master Application, if you have windows. It's a lot simpler than manually doing all the Root stuff.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=661413&highlight=master

No. Even if it went 2.1 Leak > 2.1 OTA, the 2.1 Leak is still the 2.1 Leak. The LEAK has an upgraded bootloader, which does NOT allow you to flash the ROOT image. As yet, they have not found a way to downgrade it. Even if you flash the 2.1 OTA from a 2.1 Leak, you still have a 2.1 Leak, just with the updated files. So no.

Only 1.5 > OTA will work in this case.
[Droid Eris General] pyroboy1080:
Still having trouble. :(

I realized after I posted a reply asking for more help/suggestions that on another forum someone had been having the same issue as me. It turns out that my SD card was formatted as FAT, when it is absolutely necessary for it to be in FAT32 for it to work. Even after your suggestion to format my card, I had done it on the phone and not on my PC where I could see what was going on with it. Anyway, I'm about to flash a new rom to it. Yay! :D I'm so excited! I thought my phone was broken or something.

GSM HERO ONLY

What is it? Fusion!ROM is the idea of Fusing an HTC ROM with a AOSP ROM... it is based on a HTC port stripped down to resemble a AOSP ROM and is clean, very stable, and functional. This is not a Sense ROM :)

NO DONATIONS! FREE FREE FREE

Benefits...

Looks and feels like a AOSP ROM but with less bugs and more stability, more stuff really working with good speeds and no random reboots.

AOSP Camera always working at 5MP without random corruption, video too.

AOSP Keyboard has a background.

Gallery 3D is really working not just reloading itself when you rotate your phone.

Includes all stock AOSP apps. with the exception of the "in-call" dialler functions.

A2SD Working if you have a partition set.

Superuser permissions

No JIT = more stability I will test a JIT flavor soon.

The catch... some HTC stuff remain hidden because they are required by the frameworks.

The status bar is black because the HTC frameworks have been compiled with white fonts. Maybe some HEX editing can fix this.

When using the search feature the graphics are a little off by a few pixels but everything works 100% maybe I can fix this.

You need to complete the HTC setup wizard if you want USB disk mounting to work... I recommend skipping to the finish and then setting up your mail and other accounts after.

The Dialler is AOSP but the "in call" keypad is HTC I have not found a way to replace Phone.apk with the stock AOSP one.

All settings work but the Personalize functions are removed so they will cause a force close if you try and use them.

Animations are disabled by default... just enable them.

Using the HTC Lockscreen for now... the AOSP one has no background.

HTC Contacts and Call log remain in launcher "all apps" and are required for syncing to work but you don't have to use them at all and they won't show there ugly faces, just make sure you pick AOSP Contacts as your default when prompted.

Things to test...

Multi-language stuff... do locals work?

Google sync works but is it also possible to sync your contacts and calendar using HTC sync?

Internet tether is untested please report.

Feel free to report any bugs that affect your Android experience I'll do what I can to help.

Camera Greenish color? I get different results if I leave the white balance set to auto in various lighting and I think that is normal.

A full wipe is recommended...if you are coming from a different ROM.

Change Log...

R1 Initial Relese

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
R1 is available.

If you are talking about Villain,you should stop a minute to think...

They ask for donations only,all the ROM´s eventually are avayable for free,they work hard to have every single port out there avayable for us,they have OTA that needs a server...

I havent donated as i dont do web transactions(got burned once) but i think its nice of them to have goodies for people that made donations and helps them...They could work on the ROM´s just for them,and we wouldnt have half the ROM´s we have nowadays(most of them are based in Villains builds)

So if you feel left out because others are using a ROM already and you dont,donate...they deserve it

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rbrucemtl:
I got the community vendor tree from git-hub...to compile...the AOSP sources are currently unmodified with the exception of some graphics... the dumps are easy to find... their are three I have used in different ways. Every bit of HTC Sense I can remove has been removed. I have never liked Sense and the social integration just makes me mad. I edited the frameworks with some custom photoshopped icons and graphics to help with the look of the ROM. Using ddms a lot to get the right combination and balence of good and evil. ;) The goal for me is to have my phone working the way I want it without all the bloat and other crap.

I also just want to share it all so download it and dig and if you can improve on it I will welcome it... this is not a competition for me in anyway. I think it's great the people can have a choice of how they use this great phone.

I have high hopes for what we can do with Android 2.2 sources and stable JIT(<----wow my spelling is improving don't you think ?) and the official HTC Hero kernel 2.1 or 2.2 depending on what they release in the future.

Thanks :)
