To all of the people posting rude, snotty comments:

Yes, I realize that you want proof - isn't it enough that someone may have found a way to help you after all this time? You guys are ragging on someone that may have made an awesome breakthrough for us and you're complaining?

Calm the F down.

</rant>

<appreciation>

To the folks that have been testing laboriously in the background:

Thank you for all of the hard work that you've been doing to make this a reality. Even if this only works for a few folks, it's a step in the right direction.

</appreciation>
[Droid Eris Android Development] abn75:
questioning a questionable process is not rude or snotty. its trying to find out exactly how, or if, it was achieved. showing "proof" is well and fine, if you can also show the process to do it. thats how you get people to believe it.

I don't have the INF. infact i just installed the SDK from Androids Dev website and it doesn't have a USB Drivers folder that everyone keeps mentioning. How is it possibly missing. i must have done something wrong.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
I was directing the <rant> at the folks that are being snotty :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
run the sdk setup and look for the USB driver or just google it
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
First, my phone is already rooted, so I'm only looking out for those who are stuck at 1.49 S-On, so they don't get their hopes up.

Remember, we're still waiting on an update from the guy who's brother's roommate's uncle, who is a Java programmer, can show us how to root the Eris... :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] t2noob:
Sucks to be a leak right now.....to believe or not to believe, that is the question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] snyluc13:
now im not being snotty or mean to offend, just want to make sure i understand correctly, I am to use the Slide Root.zip file in the tutorial on http://forum.androidspin.com/showthread.php?t=2757 and that works?

awesome job for getting it to work, once i figure out how to use adb and the sdk i will give it a try
[Droid Eris Android Development] quic:
Thanks, i was running it, it just didn't complete yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
It was slightly dizzying watching the speeded-up video, but he shows the phone running and the info screen showing it's running a Cyanogenmod kernel. Then he reboots the phone and shows the hboot version. Finally, he loads Amon's recovery menu. Slightly out of order, but it shows the right stuff.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Why was the battery pull necessary ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
Rather then wonder.... how about try.

Stop after step 7 as nobody else has gotten step 7 to work yet. If you stop there you don't need to worry abound anything bad happening to your phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TopazAaron:
what inf file? im not seeing it
[Droid Eris Android Development] pjsockett:
The one from the sdk

Lol I'm rooted....so I could care less.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
It shows 1.49.0000 S-ON to Amon_RA.

That is a little unusual, but not impossible to create on a previously rooted phone. Once you have the "root" bootloader installed (1.49.2000 S-OFF), it will happily honor your request to burn whatever bootloader you want right on top of it (via fastboot) - including burning the "no more root" bootloader onto your phone. (I personally wouldn't do that, but as long as your custom recovery never went south, that wouldn't prevent you from fooling around with new ROMs as you pleased).

I'm not saying that's what is going on here; it's possible that DC_striker just hit a one-in-a-million payoff. Races by their nature totally suck as a straightforward way to gain privilege. The Tattoo root was (initially) a difficult race to win, and people were suggesting all sorts of tactics - press this button, start 5 of these apps, take a picture, whatever - to change the load on the kernel and make the race pop open.

At least in that case (Tattoo), code could be loaded onto the phone to "tune" the system load. This one - if it works - looks a bit more twisty.

just wondering

Has anyone got any version of windows to recognize the eris after running loop then going to phone and going into recovery? when i go into recovery it always goes to the device error screen and doesnt show up in the task manager or adb devices. I was just wondering if anyone has made it further????
[Droid Eris Android Development] mortymouse:
Hey Dc_striker, thanks for posting the videos and your progress so far. Looks promising.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
I found the direct problem regarding Step 7

Hello everyone I have found the direct problem I think: I'll outline the situation:

At Step 7 of the originally posted link/guide, everyone has said they can't get their Eris to be recognized by ADB tool, which itself is the dead end we all are at. As far as why or how this happens, I don't know WHY but I know HOW. in fact, in Windows 7 x64 (64-bit) in Device Manager, my Eris shows up as "E:\" device under "Portable Devices". Now, normally, in HTC Sync mode on my Eris, for example, I can see it as "My HTC" and hook it up to ADB as I did yesterday on it!

So, someone has to figure out how to make or even force ADB work with the Eris either in this way (Portable devices device) or by finding a way to make the Eris show up as a different device in Windows Device Manager, and have ADB work at Step 7, maybe even with the "My HTC" driver used instead of "E:\" under Portable Devices. It sounds difficult, but maybe not impossible. Heh. Any nerds out there caught on to what I said?

Thank you and hope that information helps us along. Let's put the sadism aside. Tom

HOW DO I GET TO STEP 5 cus at step 4 it says loop isnt a recognized windows command
[Droid Eris Android Development] carycooke:
in windows 7 64 bit mine shows up as adb bootloader while im in the boot loader menu but as soon as i hit recovery in boot menu it goes away in device manager
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
Not much but i had asked before what the device was set to do when connected via usb and if the "dont ask" check box was checked. I don't believe this has anything to do with it but then again... who knows.

was it set to charge, sync, or disk drive.... and was don't ask checked?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Elementix:
Make sure you changed your directory to the android sdk tools folder and then try to run the command..
[Droid Eris Android Development] bshiznit:
I've got the SDK loaded on my Ubuntu 10.04 x86 box - trying on there now
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
That is strange. In my recovery menu, mine shows up under "portable devices" as E:\. Everyone has a different experience with their driver setup and the Eris. Other people must get other drivers showing up, not just what I'm getting. Before I get into recovery mode, I can use ADB on it as long as HTC Sync is enabled (and I cancel it's search for it on my desktop machine). I'm not the "give up hope" type.
[Droid Eris Android Development] homaygfresh2000:
mine shows up as "My HTC" under Android USB Devices in the device manager when the phone is on and adb is able to recognize it as a device. but as soon as I reboot into the boatloader to try and get into recovery it disappears from the device manager. How do we get the device to stay recognized while in bootloader?
[Droid Eris Android Development] quic:
i did change my directory to my tools directory

H:\>c:

C:\>cd android

C:\android>cd tools

C:\android\tools>loop

'loop' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
So for me, it's E:\ in recovery mode, which is annoying me already, and in bootloader mode, the Slide-Root method won't work in that either. Youch.

Hope someone finds out a way to get ADB to recognize the Eris regardless of whether it's in bootloader mode or even recovery mode. That would get us past step 7 and the first to find out (and succeed completely on rooting 1.49 for Eris) deserves more than the ol' pat on the back :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
I had problems with this to thinking it wasn't going to work but like someone else said I got the golden ticket but I posted this for the leakers to see there is hope for the Eris root, but yes I know I could have faked it by flashing the hboot but I didn't. just did some research how other people got the Eris in adb mode and tried other methods.

Goodluck with everyone trying this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
To the anonymous poster dude who replied to me, um, I'm not sure on that. But as far as the check box things goes when you're in the OS, I don't think that has any effect on the HTC Slide root method (from the first post) at all. Which is ok, however, sometimes Options within the OS CAN affect whether rooting or any low-level operation like it will succeed. For example, OCing (overclocking) requires root, and it's success (how well it works on the Eris) depends on settings, mostly, and how well your phone can handle it, among other things

I'm not the top genius here, so keep it coming people on potential ways to root Eris w/ 1.49 hboot. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
It can't mess anything up because its only pushing the SU to the phone and installing the superuser.apk. Thats when you can flash recovery and a new rom onto your phone. First posted updated
[Droid Eris Android Development] carycooke:
while im in the eris hboot and checking the device manager it shows up as htc bootloader which the driver files are pointing to system32\DRIVERS\androidusb.sys im wondering if others show the same and if they do maybe we can manipulate file to register when going into recovery mode
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Yes, that's correct. :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] quic:
Hey Striker, maybe you can fix your first post with an edited version of the Root Slide instructions with your exact step by step changes... This way people won't be guessing ok so he took the sd card out at what point and put it in exactly when?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
First post read it i said boot into bootloader with sdcard out
[Droid Eris Android Development] fox_dye:
So has anyone duplicated this yet?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jvward:
Hi DC,

is this the SD Card you used?

http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Micro-Mem...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1277413151&sr=8-1

if not can you please try to find it somewhere online so we can buy what works :)

Thanks,

Jeff
[Droid Eris Android Development] carycooke:
ok while loop is running DC on computer your going into bootloader pressing send and end with the SD card out

then while card is still out you are going into Hboot??

hit volume down going into hboot mode

this is where im off push SD card back in b4 pressing volume up to go into recovery???? push in SD card exactly as you press volume up to go into recovery???
[Droid Eris Android Development] Austinjs0102:
Cannot get Eris to be recognized is my main issue here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Yeah it appears that even following Stryker's instructions to the tee (in the first post), my Eris too cannot be recognized. :p
[Droid Eris Android Development] Realm:
I was on leak v3 then ran the RUU 2.1. Am going to try this when i get home
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
First boot it to bootloader and then run loop
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
@Realm, I was also on leak v3 and tried the RUU 2.1 but it just wiped my data, as I thought it would, and I'm essentially still a leak user though I installed the RUU build that you mentioned. Good luck though, dude.

[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
That should be it but i used another one to ill look for that one too
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sincidius:
Just trying to see if this was answered, couldn't find by searching. Want to start this, but want to make sure this is the file that I use with my ERIS phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
Yes like i said many times.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sincidius:
Thanks. I'll attempt when I get home.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
nope prob but if you get it to work download superuser.apk then rom manager to flash recovery.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Did you download the "slide root.zip" file ? Did you unpack it's contents to the tools directory ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Ok wow, so if this method on this thread works for most people ( to root 1.49 S-ON hboot erises), those people can also use their rooted Eris to upgrade to either. A. a custom ROM or B. the Kaos Froyo V9 or later build.

Also I read that some with root go back to 1.5 then upgrade using Verizon's official OTA upgrade path.

Personally, I wouldn't mind getting this method in this thread to work myself, and then upgrade to 2.2 Froyo, maybe Kaos, or maybe another build, instead of going back to 1.5, since the reason I'm doing all of this was originally to fix the "signal strength problem" I thought I had, until I was told that with the 2.1 Upgrade on the Eris, leak or OTA alike actually, the signal appears to be different from 1.5 that mine came with. On that same note, I was also under the impression that the 2.1 Leak itself on Eris, root, leak or OTA alike, displays the signal strength incorrectly on the Android bar, from what I've read from other people. Is that true or not, please tell me. Thanks. :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] bshiznit:
Linux

I got the same results in Linux as on Win7 x64 :< I thought perhaps the way the hardware is accessed might differ but nope! No device is ever detected. Time to hunt up my other micro cards....
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
On my previous note, I don't see the point of downgrading to 1.5 then going back to OTA 2.1, with which this release people are saying is the same as 2.1 v3 leak, essentially, I am confused. :confused: But yeah, like I said, people should just wait for Kao's Froyo build to be more feature complete and have less bugs and use that, maybe after they root. Though I guess for those who want Flash on their 2.2 Froyo'd Eris, it'll be slow, since the Eris may have a hard time handling it due to it's medium range hardware for an Android phone. It's not too extravagant, compared to the EVO 4G though that is Sprint right now. :P I even might consider getting a better phone in the next 6-12 months. I'll at least stick to Android!

And I'm not saying that just to convince everyone here to upgrade to a newer Droid/EVO or something, that's not the point. The point is to "bring out" my feelings on this "2.1 leak/ota to root" debate, in a way people might say "ooh, look at that guy, he's bold for bringing out his true feelings on this 2.1 leak/ota to root thing!" But as long as this thread's method really works for most (and maybe even me) people then go for it. :cool:
[Droid Eris Android Development] thisismyanonymousaccount:
I don't think it does either, i was just wondering. Then again, i think it has been pretty well shown the the sd card doesn't have much effect either as people have done it with everything from class 2 2gb to class 6 16gb and everything in between.

It could be striker just got really lucky. I suggest he go buy a lottery ticket.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dc_striker:
If i can you guys can to just keep trying like i did.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bshiznit:
sd filesystem

Idea - would repartitioning the sd card with no filesystem help at all getting into recovery? I had read that the reason this works is because its taking the eris a while to initialize the sd card - so it is able to show up while in recovery mode. Maybe this would trip it out enough to get us there.

You could always swap for an sd card formatted with fat32 once in recovery with adb active I'm assuming. Maybe I'll try it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
@ RyanKasper: always worth a shot. :cool: Would be cool if it works for ya.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bshiznit:
Yup - I've also read completely filling it with data could help...

that said at this point I'm MORE than willing to order a 16gb card that's proven to get the job done

Mangling my microsd class 4 now... we shall see
[Droid Eris Android Development] bpick:
Alright been watching and thought I would join the fray.

I have two Eris(s) I have one that is rooted 1.49(s-off) and one that is leak 3 1.49(s-on). I have attempted this multiple times with no success and here are my observations.

I have noticed that the v3 leak is on Android recovery system (2e). I think I saw someone ask that earlier. (That may have been another thread).

My SDK fails to remain connected to the phone. The problem is less the phone not being recognized and more it changing states and no longer communicating with the PC.

Mine cycles as follows:

Boot to boot loader. Start loop.Enter recovery.Device momentarily connected(shows in device manager under storage devices). Then enter exclamation screen.Computer plays audio to indicate device is disconnected but it remains visible in device manager. Boot to recovery, nothing.

The abd devices loop never reacts.

My environment is a Dell Latitude E6500 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit and Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS (x86). I have attempted in both. I am well versed in both operating systems and I have been a systems engineer for financial firms since 1998.

Now here is something that is interesting. When I connect my rooted Eris it is recognized as soon as I am in bootloader and (of course) I can interact with it once in recovery via the adb shell.

I have tried with a class 2 8GB and 16GB SD cards in the following states:

All Unallocated space.

All ext3

All Ntfs

All Fat23

Also I have tried with it filled to capacity.

There is what I have so far and I have made 0 progress. As afore stated, I am in possession of a v3 leak Eris and I am willing to try any suggestions. Happy Hunting.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DMaverick50:
I remember this happening to my rooted g1 with the slow and sort of crappy sense ui installed; so when my wife complained that her text messages on her Slide dont go in order i was shocked that the problem STILL exists.

I didnt see a thread about it here, sorry if i missed it. Anyone else have text message conversations where the texts are out of order? Phone is stock btw
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anartic:
I appear to have that same problem too, but I'm using stock Android right now. If we have the same problem I can elaborate on it more.

My problem seems to be that if I get a text message reply from someone and it's in the same minute as the last text message I sent the person, their text will go above mine, even though they sent their's after I sent my text.

So for example: I send a text to somebody at 3:20:15PM and that person sends a text to me at 3:20:55PM, their text will go above my 3:20 text, making it look like they sent the message first.
