to me the only thing thta mattered was seeing it in teh command window for loop.bat. i didn't even have a device manager window open. while trying this i had disconnected and reconnected my usb cable a few times to see if that would get loop.bat to see the phone in step 32. i would get the windows notifications that it was disconnected then reconneted but loop.bat saw nothing. so i would assume it would show up in device manager which is meaningless.

I've been running v3 for a while, and no luck. Is there a link for ruu?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lame eris:
i had 2.1v3 leak for sure. i downloaded it from. http://download25.mediafire.com/ezoomzhrev9g/qymwuzug5gl/PB00IMG.zip

at first it didnt work for me because i skipped step 25 by accident. hit me up on AIM soboard24
[Droid Eris Android Development] vandykky:
Trying on my wifes eris v2 leak. Should I upgrade to leak v3? I have hboot 1.49.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Go Straight to the RUU
[Droid Eris Android Development] Burgers:
tried all day on 2 different comps, both running win7 x64, with no luck.. Stuck at step 31~32. Cant get loop.bat to show HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery, just keeps looping "List of devices attached"

All drivers successfully installed. went out and bought a 2GB PNY card. Running V1 leak.. tried the SD card pull and pop ~50x

Will try again tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vandykky:
I haven't got it to work yet and I'm wondering if it's because I'm running v2 leak and not v3. What is ruu? (sorry I'm fairly new to this). Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I know this is sort of unrelated but can v3 users upgrade to RUU? Or just v2 for instance. I have v3.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Resun:
Yes, any leak can go to the RUU.
[Droid Eris Android Development] carycooke:
Omg i cant get it

Ok ive been trying this the past few days over and over again and still cant get it

Win Xp Sp3

got a 2gb PNY P-SDU2GB-EF/BG with national geographic on front but it doesnt show a class but looks just like pic also it has been formatted perfect to tutorial

device manager reads composite ADB interface in normal boot up of phone

shows android bootloader when in usb fastboot

I flashed my phone with the verizon RUU

turned off network,wireless,mobile,just all of it

turned on debugging

All said and done im booting phone up SEND END together with card in

pushing down for hboot and popping out card before it reads it starting loop.bat

hitting up arrow and ive done all from 1001 to 1006 before the ding and never working

Im just asking for someone who has done it maybe if they see something in my procedure thats not right while i still have some hair left on my head
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
The RUU is essentially a full OS upgrade. As long as you have root, (whole point of this thread) then MR2 1.5 software (1.17.605.1) package from pcdphones.com can Downgrade 2.1 to 1.5, and yes, there are guides online for that. That MR2 upgrade evolved from 1.16 based firmware, which Eris comes with out of box. Hope that wasn't too obvious for some. Wow I could write a book here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] You've Been Had:
You people are gullible. How many people in this thread have actually had it work? One? And the one that worked opened a new account to claim success? And some of you have spent hours on this?? This is a great hoax! You even got people to run out and buy SD cards! Go ahead and bash, just keep this in mind after you have spent a week wasting your time...
[Droid Eris Android Development] carycooke:
I wish Jcase would post something on his attempts if any Successes or failures

Because if he atleast acknowledges there has been successful attempts from his on friends and co devs i would keep on but if not i might let this one go till a bullet proof way if any can be brought about
[Droid Eris Android Development] theboo7:
would a 4.gb Patriot Class 6 work?

want to know if its better than stock eris SDcard before i try, its moms for her BB
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
I will be fu@k1ng IRATE if this is a load of sh1t!!!!!! I cannot get past the f-ing loop.bat recognizing the device. I got the f-ing card, set up everything on a fresh xp computer. Can anyone with some credibility weigh in on this please! This will be the sickest of jokes if it is one.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
You are very ignorant, I just watched tereg (the person that tested this method) root a leaked eris live, along with 20 other people. Beleive what you want, but I am going to get root along with many other people. This is real.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nindoja:
I disagree. While attempting this on video conference with tereg and vinylfreak89, I personally watched tereg go show me root on a 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader with Amon_RA's recovery. Later, he proceeded to run the RUU and completely remove root from his phone. He says he's done it twice now, and was doing it a third time because he knows it works and wants to prove that. Now, tell me how many people you know with a recently rooted phone would willingly remove root from their phones just to prove some internet disbelievers wrong?

We spent a good 3-4 hours today on a video conference call with desktop captures going working on nailing this down. I am convinced that the method works, although I believe it is very hard to win the race condition.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
Jcase is in a cabin somewhere with no signal.
[Droid Eris Android Development] freethewhat:
I have nothing against jcase but keep in mind he isn't the only dev also.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
ok so I want to believe!!! I'm on leak 3 and cannot get the damn thing to show as a device. What the hell is RUU and can we get a link to it if that is what we should have? Should we just say f it for now and wait till it gets completely hammered out? I want to help test this out as well as get the wife's phone rooted to appease her jealousy of mine but need some more info. Feel I am missing a step or some info somewhere. AHHHH!! I thank tereg so much and will happily donate to the beer fund if I can get this to work as it will save me the $ I was going to have to shell out for insurance when my wife's phone got "accidentally" run over by the car tire, I just need to know if its real and where the hell I'm going wrong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
Yeah, im pretty sure two very trustworthy people have already confirmed it's working, i mean, im new here, but the hype they had after confirming led me to believe they are well trusted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] carycooke:
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Des...WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe Here is the link to the RUU(I THINK IT STANDS FOR ROM UPDATE UTILITY) i used that matched what my replacement was anyways
[Droid Eris Android Development] lame eris:
its easy to be skeptical, i was when i failed on my first attempt. but then i realized i completely skipped step 25 which is crucial for your pc to recognize your phone while looping. if you get an error when unpadting the driver in step 25 browse just like you did in step 15 and select usb_driver then amd64 and pick the .dll file (there shoild only be one that comes up in the device manager) and the funny thing is my brother gave up on the root for 2.1 leaked eris and sold his to buy a moto droid. he was pissed to find out i rooted my 2.1v3 eris today lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] __arock__:
I have been playing around with this all evening and have not had any luck. I have tried using a class 4 kingston 4gb card and an old 512md sandisk card I found buried in a drawer and had no luck with either. Can't seem to make it past loop just like everyone else. Hopefully there is just something little that has been overlooked. Just wanted to let everyone know about having no luck with those sd cards.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
I dont get why people dont understand this...

YOU WILL NOT GET IT ON YOUR FIRST, SECOND, OR THIRD TRIES.

Well, most likely. Its gonna take a ton of practice, and i dont recommend attempting unless you know what your doing, ergo, if you have to ask more than, say, 20 questions, you really shouldnt be doing this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
Thanks for the link cary... I haven't worked with RUU stuff before, only ROM's. This is an exe. Does it install from the computer? Will it update over leak3?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
i'm way past 2 or 3 tries. more like approaching 100s. but whatever. i think its best to wait and see how this develops and if anyone can figure out the most consistent method.

i'll keep checking daily. sooner or later the guys at this forum will figure it out. i have faith.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
If you guys think its fake, you shouldve been in the skype call/ tinychat sessions where tereg did it like 5 times today. Just because you cant get it, doesnt mean its fake. You cant give up after 15 tries, because it takes quite a few tries to get it. And by that, i mean ive tried over 100 times, and i still havent gotten it.

hop into the tinychat right now if you still dont believe.

http://tinychat.com/leakroot
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Hey Everyone,

This is not fake okay? tereg and I have spent about 10 hours today working on it, if you dont believe in it or dont choose to support us then its your loss, if you want to talk to us directly join us on http://tinychat.com/leakroot we just updated the tutorial, best of luck, and sorry for the complexity of this rooting method.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
this is not fake, it is a very difficult process to get working right. the devs are working on getting this method more repeatable. tereg did a live demo of him getting adb to show up in recovery mode for everyone for about 5 hours, and we watched him get it working a bunch of times. this is not faked, just difficult to do.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
So can someone make a more idiot-proof guide? I'm running the offical 2.1 update from Verizon, bootloader 1.49 and have the SD card in the first post. I'll gladly help anyone else out if I can get it to work, and even flash my phone again and re root it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] devlp1213:
hey i jus noticed this in guide(doing it from step one again lol redownloaded everyhting) but how can u change the loop.bat if u have to download the root.zip file after it :p hahahaha anyhting switch those steps =D
[Droid Eris Android Development] k2pro78:
So this is my second question which puts me well below the 20 question limit. (-: I am running Windows Vista and am getting stuck on step 25 after which was the second driver update whil in Fastboot. I am getting an error that reads along the lines of not being able to update the driver because it is not compatible with 32bit system. Please make sure your driver is compatible with a 32 bit system. Any Ideas, seems most people are running Windows 7 or Windows XP.

Okay no longer step 25 whoops...>_>
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Haha well this process is still quite complex we are working on making it easier but just try and dont give up, more to come in the following days, tereg and I worked a long day today demoing this via Tinychat and Skype, we will hopefully do it again once bugs get worked out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
Also along with this, for some reason multiupload (the site where the .ini file is uploaded) isn't loading for me. Can someone upload it somewhere else? Or tell me whytf its not loading?
[Droid Eris Android Development] kzoodroid:
okay i followed the instructions and got it to root. now what? can't seem to follow any of the tutorials as to how to install a recovery or a custom rom.

Tried this from one of the tutorials:

III: Flashing a Custom Recovery

Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.

1. Download this file: Recovery.zip

2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.

3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:

•adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

•adb push recovery.img /sdcard

•adb push flash_image /system/bin

•adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

•adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"

tried to first run the commands in a command prompt without invoking su and got a read only error mesage.

so i started over and this time swithed to su, have super user permission open on the phone, got a prompt to allow which i did. got the # prompt in command window. then when i run the commands i get adb not found. so then i run them without the adb as you can't run adb in an adb shell i found out. so then i get an error saying push not found. its a little frustrating and any suggestions would help. i've about googled all i can out of this with not much help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jmattick:
In the other thread, there is something about downloading rom manager from the market so you can install a 3rd party recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tereg:
I'll help.

One thing to note, there is a step we did not do that Slide Root method did which is install a full root.zip that allows you complete root access when you execute an "adb shell ..." command.

So, I will help you out with this process. And I will probably add this to the end of the tutorial after root is achieved, because not doing the root.zip step is really important.

The commands above need to be as follows.

adb shell

then enter

$ su

then enter

# mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

then enter

# exit

then enter

$ exit

then enter

Back to normal command prompt

Then execute these commands one at a time.

•adb push recovery.img /sdcard

•adb push flash_image /system/bin

•adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image

•adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Try this.

Again, the key is is that you can't do adb shell mount .... from the command prompt because adb shell commands do not automatically give you root (at the moment)
[Droid Eris Android Development] devlp1213:
man another managed to root, i've started from begining(deleting redownloading files) twice now lol :p i seem to have one of the unlucky phones haha and i'm not have any of the driver problems tht was easy win7 64-bit took them no prob... so i rebooted into xp pro sp3 32-bit repeated no problems from drivers everything went according and get to the 1-1000.... and boom no go haha... o well i'll keep at it tomorrow guys i'ma try random timings tomorrow see what happens lol

Is multi upload down for everyone else too? I really want to try but I can't get the .ini! Can someone please just upload that file to megaupload or something? :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
Its not down for me. This is the one from multiupload. http://www.multiupload.com/MU_01Q1UXGLOF That goes to megaupload, btw.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
Uh.. for me, it just loads a blank page.. :/ IDK what to do at this point. Why can't someone that can get it to work just upload the file to rapid share or something? Please help?
[Droid Eris Android Development] zerovertex:
During Fastboot (Step 9), my phone showed up in Device Manager on Windows 7 Ultimate as "Android USB Device" > "HTC Bootloader". Just reporting.... Still working on getting this going. I'll report my outcome. Thanks to all!
[Droid Eris Android Development] erispimp:
Just wondering

Why do you need a different micro sd card to do this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] HanSolo2012:
trying to do the recovery

but keep getting permission denied errors

can anyone explain the steps for the leak?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Because this is a race condition exploit the cards speed needs to be right
[Droid Eris Android Development] Captainkrtek:
Start over I guess, we are still getting issues with this, sorry
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PKEAD2K8
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
Wait, isn't this just the SDK thing? I have that, I need the modded .ini file.

Sorry to be hassle. Like I said, I have everything ready and have all night to try this. I'll help nyone else out with it once I get everything figured out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] vandykky:
Ok I think I need to sleep... I've been messing with this thing for about 12 hours total today, including upgrading from leak v2 to RUU. Not sure what else to try. Drivers, check... 2GB PNY card, Check... Counting to myself 100's of times, check. Oh well, I guess I'll just try some more tomorrow. Hopefully someone can crack this thing in a more surefire way soon. Thanks for all the great help guys.

[Droid Eris Android Development] erispimp:
Yeah when i got to the Sd card steps it didn't work with the stock card so i guess i got to go to best buy. lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] n2imagination:
yep I too am out. late and I need sleep but more importantly I need a break from this voodoo magic trick. I really hope this gets ironed out to something doable. I have tried this step for step to perfection over 60 times and it never sees it as a device in the loop. :mad::(:(:confused::eek::o. pretty much every emotion possible. I had real hope in this. I will see if I can muster up the desire to bang my head up against the wall tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homewmt:
I'm done for today, installed xp twice, win 7 twice, ran ruu twice, have spent almost the entire day working on it (windows installs take a looong time) have tried counting to 4 one thousands 25-35 times today, and have followed the tutorial five times. All with 2gb pny sd card. No luck.

So many battery pulls...

Hope to get this working tomorrow.
[Droid Eris Android Development] dbnaruto:
I'm sad to say, that while I am so happy with how far you guys have come, but I have decide to wait untill the root becomes more definete because I really haven't been able to use my phone for much, trying to root it. I wish you all the best of luck, and hope you'll get a proper root :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
do we really need to flash RUU if we already have Lv3??? That's just a step I would rather not take unless absolutely necessary...

They are the same are they not???
[Droid Eris Android Development] thetingster:
Are you guys also having to unplug the usb cord as well as pulling the battery?
[Droid Eris Android Development] xxstaytruexx:
Has anybody tried with a class 2 card at all?
[Droid Eris Android Development] listyb01:
Class 2 8g = fail!
[Droid Eris Android Development] thetingster:
I am shocked that this requires that very particular SD card. Strange.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
yeah i know its funny. It shouldn't even matter about the sd card
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
I've got up to the timing step, and just like everyone else I'm having trouble. I downloaded the RUU, got everything perfect up until the 'put the card back in' step, where no matter when I put it back in, it takes me to the ! screen, but never pops in loop. :/
[Droid Eris Android Development] lame eris:
When I finally got mine to recognize in loop i did not modify the .bat file, I left it as is .and if anyone is wondering i am using a acer netbook with xp.

Thanks for the info. I may be wrong, but i'm getting a feeling that the computer speed is a big factor in how this exploit works. I am currently trying this on a intel i7 system. Maybe it's too fast. All those who have been successful using this method, please give your OS and cpu specs.

Going to try original loop file instead of modifying with @echo when i get home from work tonight.

My poor Eris' SD slot is getting worn out like a 90 year old hooker. When will this madness end?!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dradien:
Just a thought for those of you with Windows Vista/7.

Vista/7 doesn't normally allow unsigned drivers to load, and all the bootloader/adb drivers are unsigned. To get around this and let them load, do this:

Before Windows is booting (before the swirly Windows animation), keep hammering F8 until you get to a prompt with a couple of options. The first three will be:

Safe Mode

Safe Mode with Networking

Safe Mode with Command prompt.

At the very bottom of the screen, there should be one that's called "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement". Pick that one, and it'll let your drivers load and should make your life a slight bit easier.

Edit: Run on sentences are my friend...Fixed that to some degree and clarified the steps a bit,
[Droid Eris Android Development] mortymouse:
Great point.

[Droid Eris Android Development] jordon47203:
I don't think anyone saw my post earlier but I read in DC_Striker's thread that someone successfully rooted their phone using a SanDisk 8gb card. I don't know about you guys but that is great news to me :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] kzoodroid:
get a error every time i try to push something to the system/bin - "push" not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

i downloaded rom manager as suggested by the other responder to my post and that seems to be working. i was able to flash clockworkmod recovery and am now going to try and install a rom through it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ovp:
Drivers

I am on windows 7 and never had any problem updating drivers.... I just can't get loop.bat to see the damn thing. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
This. When I was updating my drivers, it just asked my permission so I accepted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dradien:
And...I'm rooted

Awesome:) Using a PNY 4 gig if it means anything
[Droid Eris Android Development] thewanton:
Nice! (: Anything special you did, or was it just following the rules? About how long did you wait before popping your card back in for it to be detected in loop?
