yes thank you very much tereg XD!! and best of luck to you.im trying to get into the Irc now so i can hopefully watch as you do it. what channel are you in?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Thank you, tereg.

I don't know if is necessary to lose root on your phone. If you are doing battery pulls, the OS is totally uninvolved in the behavior of the phone ... so, go ahead and leave a rooted ROM in the OS, and that way you can always reflash the recovery (using flash_image) from the OS. That way you are not risking losing a rooted phone.

[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
I THINK, and this is just me making assumptions here, that by os he meant his computer.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sydtrakked:
i think what he means by it waiting is when you're in the HBOOT screen and then you push VOL UP for recovery and then insert your USB and SD...

i may be a little late on this but just trying to clarify things a little bit...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dbnaruto:
How dow I find the IRC chat channel everyone is on, sorry but I have never used an irc client before, any help would be nice :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
I think all three of us are right - ha, imagine that :).

You are correct that when he said "document the OS", he was talking about his PC.

He's more right than both of us 'cuz he got something to work ;)

I was right (I think) that he doesn't have to give up the root OS on the phone to try and repeat his success - just replace the recovery boot. That way if he can't succeed a second time, he can get root back on the phone by flashing ("flash_image") Amon_RA back into the recovery partition.

[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
I agree on that one. He got it to work, he deserves a rooted phone even if he cant reproduce it for the rest of us, which may be the case if this indeed is a lottery.

Ok So CaptainKTrek Is Writing a tutorial on how to root leaked eris's now so lets all just wait he is in the process of writing it now.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
you serious? Trek is the guy who helped me get my phone to be recognized by Sync.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jamezelle:
go to chat.andirc.net

and make a nickname
[Droid Eris Android Development] Cyostrife:
yeah lol he is working it now should be done within maybe an hour...idk for sure but we have nothing but time with these leaked phones haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
began to try it with a moto droid card i got my hands on, still no luck. good to hear a guide is being worked on, hopefully that will clear everything up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Wow yea anything can help us now. Please captainktrek should post his guide as soon as it is done.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
yeah I just checked the IRC channel, and he is working on it as we speak. "[Tutorial] Root for LEAKERS 6/25/10" will be the title according to CaptainKrtek.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Will it work on OTA also?
[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
OTA can already achieve root, unless you are talking about the ruu, which is essentially a leak.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Erisftw:
Everyone just take a deep breath... dont murder your f5 key, that will come in handy later on.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
I have OTA with the 1.49 bootloader thanks to verizon and my refurbished phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bdt1995:
Its not ota its the ruu.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
then yes, you are basically on a leak, from what i understand, and don't quote me on this, i don't think the software version matters as long as you are have 2e recovery? which the ruu, or your ota, has.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mooneyb:
The other tutorial is now posted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
in summary, correlation does not imply causation. I fear your words are falling on deaf ears though.

now how do i change these window drivers again....

sorry, couldn't resist.

@bftb dude, I forgot the live chicken, that's why I failed!

Nice to see we're getting somewhere with this!

Just follow that new thread its the same steps I posted but he gives me detail then I do
[Droid Eris Android Development] RKLamb2:
It works guys I just downloaded rom manager.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RKLamb2:
It works I used the guy for the slide along with this one and it work perfectly. I dont know if it makes a difference but the two thing I saw that made a difference was hitting contol C when running the loop after it finds your device and ejecting the memory card as soon as you hit down to go into hboot. Thanks alot guys I been trying this for the past 6 hours. Lol
[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
What sd card were you using?

Good stuff bftb0. Thanks for that. :)

Thanks for your patience despite the initial abuse, and for being detailed and thorough.

I'm rooted (have been for a couple of months), but am trying to help out the leakers.

Went to wallyworld this morning, $10.74 out the door (PNY P-SDU2GB-EF/BG); but no luck for me so far. (Sniffing USB during the trials to see if I can learn anything)

[Droid Eris Android Development] williamwright:
I have just a quick observation. When attached and in recovery I noticed that in Device Manager under Portable Devices it's listing a drive letter E:\ and when I look at the properties it's HTC, so Im assuming it's the phone. Nothing else is listed. Don't know if this is anything just thought I would let everyone know.

The way I got it show up was while in recovery I would repeatly pull the usb cable out of the phone and then re-insert it again really fast until it showed up in the Device Manager with a little yellow triangle and exclamation point.

Once I get the little yellow triangle I pull the sdcard out and push it back in and then the yellow triangle is gone. The look a properties and it's listed as HTC protable device and says, This device is working properly.

I've done this three times in a row and same result. The last time I had to pull and reinsert about ten time really fast to get it to show in the Device Manager.

Any thoughts,

William

PS it also is listed under disk drives as "HTC Android Phone USB Device". Im sure this is nothing but wasn't sure so thought I would say something
[Droid Eris Android Development] fox_dye:
Did your device show up in adb?
[Droid Eris Android Development] RKLamb2:
Sorry

Alright sorry about that but it was like 4 in the mourning. I will use the other guys post for the slide and explain what I did.

The main thing I did different was as soon as pushed down to go to hboot I ejected my memory card at the exact same time. No scan or anything. Once I got to the part where I ran the loop I hit control C to stop it and and it was smooth sailing from there.

Memory card was a sandisk 8 gig that I formatted to 4096 in windows seven. I basically use both write up but I actually finished using the slide write

Place the Contents of "Slide Root.zip" into your Android SDK Tools folder.

Step 2.

Open Command Prompt or Terminal and CD to the SDK/Tools Directory.

Step 3.

Power on the Slide into the bootloader by Holding Down ( Volume Down + Power Button )

Step 4.

Now run your loop file from the prompt (either type "loop" in windows or "./loop.sh" in a *nix like)

Step 5.

Once your loop is running in your prompt, select Recovery from the bootloader menu.

Step 6.

When recovery loads, you should Have an Offline Device. You can use ctrl+c to stop your script & see.

If this doesn't happen, Power Off and try again..

Step 7.

Un-plug your USB cable from the back of your phone & Plug it back in for it to Detect ADB Correctly!!! This is an important step. At this point you can adb devices to see if you can see your device and that it is in recovery mode.

Step 8.

Hit Volume Up + Power button to Bring up the Selectable Menu

Select Update.zip from the menu. (This will fail, but we already know that! Select it anyway).

Step 9.

adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip (*nixlike users add a ./ in front of all terminal commands please.)

Step 11.

adb push slideroot.zip /sdcard

Step 12.

This is Very important!! Have this Command ready in your prompt before applying update.zip again!!

adb push update.zip /sdcard

step 13.

Hit run update.zip, as soon as you see a Little Bar appear under the text push Enter to execute the command in your prompt (adb push update.zip /sdcard )

Step 14.

In successful, you should see Clockwork Recovery. If unsuccessful, repeat steps 12 & 13.

Step 15.

Now, go to the Partitions menu and Mount System

step 16.

Go back one level & select install any zip from sdcard. Select slideroot.zip & apply update from zip (This will finish the Root process).

Step 17.

Reboot your phone & wait for it to load completely. To confirm that your slide is connected as a device use the command adb devices. If this works, you will see it as a device. Your prompt will say something like:

$ ./adb devices

List of devices attached

HT05YUP12710 device

Step 18.

adb install Superuser.apk (If this looks like it works, but says it cannot locate directories, make sure you can find your device using adb devices… If things still don't work, my best advice is to start over)

Step 19.

After Superuser is installed try to use adb to shell to your device.

adb shell

you will get a $

Then type su

Superuser should pop-up asking if you give permission, do so.

Your $ should turn into a #. If so, you have root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RKLamb2:
My device showed up in the loop. Do not stop loop til you see the serial numbers for it start to flash.

At step seven up above it when my device kicked in. Before when I did it I just saw the driod alien with a yellow trangle and exclamation point. Once I did steps 7 and 8 it ready to finish up. At that point I just use the slide write to finish but substituting files commands with the ones in the original write up.

I also pulled the battery to restart when it did not work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] williamwright:
I don't understand why I can see my phone's actual HDD and sdcard in Device Manager while in recovery, but cannot see it in adb. I am using the pdaNet drivers so don't know if that means anything.

All I know is that Device Manager only shows the HDD and sdcard when in recovery. Nothing comes up in either FASHBOOT USB or HBOOT, only in Recovery.

ANy thoughts,

William
[Droid Eris Android Development] RKLamb2:
I use the latest version of HTC sync for the Eris and it loaded the correct drivers for me.

Also you want really see any options on the phone unitl after you past doing the loop. I only had one option after getting to Hboot and that was recovery. I push up and held the power button the phone rebooted and showed nothing but the droid and the yellow triangle. After a while running loop I saw that it eventually founded my phone so I hit control C to continue and after that I just finish it out step by step like you see above on the link I posted. When you get to step 7 or 8 the Android and triangle go away and you get a blue screen with a bunch of option. At that point I just it was step by step using the guide above only changing out the commands to go for the Eris like OP mention.
[Droid Eris Android Development] RKLamb2:
I downloaded a new version of tether and rom commander last night and they worked perfectly. My virus program tried to say I have a file that need deleting because my droid has been rooted and gave all kinds of warning but I just click on ignore.
[Droid Eris Android Development] woodworks97:
I don't know if this matters or not, but I noticed that on "slide guy's" video his phone said HBoot USB Plug and gave different options than my phone does.. Mine only says HBoot and below it gives the FastBoot and Recovery option. Nothing else. Does this matter? Am I missing something?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Wongidool:
Ok, I haven't gotten a chance to get the new "magical" card, but I had a thought today at work, not sure what it's really worth.

I remember a while back reading that our phones are basically running a *nix OS, which makes sense to me since a lot of the su commands stick to *nix style.

And again, I doubt this hasn't been considered before/is of any use whatsoever, but I'm curious to see if it works or maybe sends someone's train of thought in the right direction, so here it goes: A few months ago, I got locked out of my ubuntu system because I forgot the password after a while of not using that hard drive. After some poking around on the net and in the system, I discovered that it's possible to actually drop yourself into a command line at boot, browse to the password file, and change the root (admin) password. I'm wondering if something like this could also apply to the phone system so that we can dive in and change the password for root access, or even change how it checks the signatures of files being pushed onto the system. If something like this did work, it would hopefully get rid of all the luck/special hardware needed to make the current hack work.

Like I said, I would be incredibly surprised if this is possible, but I'm just looking to clear this up for myself as to why this is not an option, and to maybe get someone thinking in a new direction to try and get this hack more repeatable. Thanks for putting up with this massively newbish post, hopefully my fire retardant suit will keep most of the flaming off of me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] williamwright:
I don't think anyone will flame you for that. It's people like you that comes up with things like that, that might lead someone in the right direction to discover something that will work better. I posted something yesterday about my phone showing up in Device Manager, showing the phones HDD and the sdcard in recovery but not showing up in adb. I didn't know if that was a common occurrence so I posted that info, nobody flamed me.

We are all just trying to figure this out together. So any and all information no matter how insignificant it may seem, just might help.

Still no root for me :(

I can not get the device to boot into adb mode under boot menu or under recovery. It works fine in adb mod in normal phone mode. I noticed that under hboot fastboot there was an android 1.0 under my devices menu. I changed drivers on this to match the ones one that phone under normal mode to no advail. I've tried all sorts of ways to get root!

Under normal mode it will show up as MyHTC location 0000.0002.0001.001.000.000.000.000

The android 1.0 will show up as a usb composite device location Port_#0001.Hub_#0002

in fastboot usb or hboot it will show up as android 1.0

under MyHTC location Port_#0001.Hub_#0002

above is not recognized by abd

thoughts here?

eris 2.1 leak v3, same as ota, bootloader 1.49

i would love any help because stock unrooted phone sucks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] williamwright:
I feel your pain, mine is doing the exact same thing. I tried all weekend to no avail, not even a hit of something happening. I've tried the stock drivers, the sync drivers, which don't work at all because it won't even connect to the sync application when the phone is in normal mode. So I don't know what else to do except keep playing around with it and hope to stumble on to something, that's pretty much my only hope now for me, unless someone comes up with something new because this is not working for me at all.:confused:

I just gotta say congratulations to all you guys who have rooted and all you guys who have not given up yet.

You didn't listen when the "devs" claimed it wouldn't work and you kept the faith and pushed though and are now being rewarded. It is awesome. I see no rhyme or or reason for it working but for those it has, congratulations, and for those still trying. Keep the faith, patience is a virtue.

[Droid Eris Android Development] npsmith:
What does popping the SD card out at a certain time actually do?

...I mean, why would that cause the computer to detect a USB device that it would not normally detect?
[Droid Eris Android Development] iornslave:
according to the info read on the htc incredible, recovery loads ADB when it boots, but it immediately disables it after it's initialized. the thought is that when you pop the card in during the ADB loading process keeps the command that recovery uses to stop the interface from executing properly (likely a bug). so if the card takes long enough to read then ADB will ignore the command to cut the interface because it is still reading the card and continues to boot into recovery.

it's like recovery is throwing ADB a ball, unfortunately ADB was tying its shoe and didn't even notice the ball as it flew by, finished tying its shoe and stood back up to catch the ball not even knowing it was all ready tossed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nesgodawg:
Where did this come from? This works for the Eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
It works for the eris.

Just read
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Hi Dc_striker,

Did you modify your android_winusb.inf file to get it to see the Eris?

Modify it with:

"In case anyone still needs this, add these lines to the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections of the android_winusb.inf file that comes with the SDK. It will allow you to install the driver for your Eris. I recommend not using or installing HTC Sync unless you really want to.

Code:

; HTC Eris

%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98

%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C98&MI_01"

Please let me know.

Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] bpick:
This may or may not mean anything.

I have to eris phones one root and one not. When I boot the rooted phone with the loop running, I get a different driver install and the loop reads recovery.

Rooted installs the driver for myHTC and the 1.49 S-ON get a different driver for HTC storage device.

Dunno if the helps or is commonly known.

[Droid Eris Android Development] bhilgeman:
I was succesful at rooting my Slide with this method and it wasn't easy. I can say that sdCard does matter. I was originally using a Class6 8GB and it wouldn't work, I wsitched out to a Class 2 and boom, it worked first try.

I will be trying this method today on an Eris so I will report back and let you all know if I was succesful...
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
That was why i was a little skeptical. I was under the impression that recovery images were pretty phone specific.At least the Amon_RA ones seem to be. Again, take everything i say with a grain of salt as i'm not a mobile dev.
[Droid Eris Android Development] snyluc13:
so you don't think a oem 8gb card would work?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bhilgeman:
On the slide the Recovery is read only. Therefore you cannot as of yet flash a recovery permanently to the recovery partition after using this root method. If anyone has rooted their Eris yet please let us know if you are still able to use Amon_RA's recovery or if you have to use a temporary recovery like clockwork or such. Thanks

EDIT: and of course I'm talking about rooting an Eris with HBOOT 1.49
[Droid Eris Android Development] bhilgeman:
I was successful on my first try with the Slide's stock 8GB Class 2 which is a SanDisk. My Transcend 8GB Class6 was apparently too fast :) From the other forums I've been reading ie slide, and incredible, they claim the crappier and slower the card the better for purposes of using this root method. After you have root you can go back to your previously used SDCard...
[Droid Eris Android Development] bhilgeman:
I would read this thread in case any of you try rooting an Eris with HBOOT 1.49. It may answer some questions that have already been asked.
