Rerun the eris hack to get the amon_RA recovery back onto the device.

That's a hardware nand lock. Are you even on an eris?
[Droid Eris Android Development] daes:
I'm havin the same issue as metzy75, and yes, it's actually an Eris :)

I'm on KaosFroyo since root (thanks for that btw wag3slav3!!!), is there something i should have done to unlock the nand?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
wag3slav3,

Thats a common issue on the eris with flash_image. He could either use erase_image and try, or just fastboot it in. or reboot and try again. It will work at some point.
[Droid Eris Android Development] rycheme:
Hey guys, I just wanted to share what I did since I was already rooted with Amon Ra's recovery image and KaosFroyo.

1) Download Original Root ROM, Custom MISC Image, EngTools, and Amon's Recovery from the OP

2) Make a Nandroid backup

3) Flash EngTools from Recovery

4) Push custom.img to your phone

5) Push PB00IMG.zip to your sdcard

6) Open adb shell and then type flash_image misc /data/local/custom.img (using the original code in the OP caused failures on my phone, I had to actually get into the shell to get this to work)

7) Reboot the phone to the bootloader

8) Let HBOOT load and apply PB00IMG

9) Once complete, fastboot flash Amon Ra's recovery image using the code in the OP

10) Restore your nandroid backup

11) Wipe hands on pants

My info after completing:

PB00100 XC ENG S-OFF

[Droid Eris Android Development] gpa111:
To summarize what I did:

I rooted my 1.47 s-on phone from 2.1 (7/16) OTA with the method listed:

Android forums - detailed-leak-root-tutorial <-- will not allow me to post a link.

Then I went to replace the bootloader with this method, Posted by Jcase on Android forums.

When i get to step 6 I cannot do any commands involving fastboot, including fastboot devices, my mac returns permissions denied.

I then ran the leak root tutorial runinlinuxfromtools.sh again which used adb to install the recovery image.

I then flashed white widow and I am up and running again. But I still do not have fastboot access.

But my bootloader is 1.49.200 s-off.

Any ideas?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jpeck71:
I can't seem to get the pb00img.zip to apply. I go through all the steps with no errors and everything seems to work, but when it boots up into HBOOT and checks the zip file it doesn't every apply it. It just goes through with a blue bar, but never gets applied.

Any ideas? I've checked the md5s of the files, and here are the commands I've followed.

adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image

adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/flash_image

adb push custom.img /data/local/custom.img

adb shell flash_image misc /data/local/custom.img

adb reboot bootloader

This is a Stock Eris with the most recent (7/16) OTA applied. Already went through the root process and have Amon's recovery installed. Left stock OS and flashed the ENG tools so I have the SU app.

Should I try flashing a custom ROM and then try to change the bootloader?
[Droid Eris Android Development] xxstaytruexx:
ok, where are we supposed to save the files needed for this?

"flash image" and "custom image"
[Droid Eris Android Development] :
Your android sdk tools folder.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ahjee:
i scanned the thread and didn't see a solution, this seems stupid and probably is and simple but step 2 is not working, i have the flash_image file in my sdk tools and it keeps saying its not there...

cannot stat 'flash_image': No such file or directory

thats what i keep getting, the file is definitely in the tools folder....

also dosent recognize the custom.img

what am i doing wrong, i must be missing something obvious

I just need some step by step directions, with some non technical terminology. If anyone can help please do so. I think its just the fact that I really don't want to mess up my phone. I just want to do ir right, and I'm new to this phone modification stuff.

[Droid Eris Android Development] cloudedice:
There's no need to get 1.49 S-OFF if you have 1.47 S-ON. 1.47 S-OFF is superior, in my opinion. :)

You can skip a bunch of steps in the OP if you have 1.47. Here is a visual guide.
[Droid Eris Android Development] synaptyc:
DOH!!! You lost me :D

I looked at the visual guide and I am still lost as to where to start in converting my 1.47 S-ON to 1.47 S-OFF or 1.49 S-OFF.

The visual guide seems to have been illustrating info from another thread. Too vague on which PB00IMG.ZIP file to use and stuff.

Can anyone link me to a guide that will get me to S-OFF?

(one for dummies) :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] cloudedice:
re

it's really simple:

download the PB00IMG.zip from the first post.

put it in the root of your SDcard

power off your phone

hold the VolDown button while turning on the phone.

wait.

reboot when prompted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] txarsoncop:
Test keys?

That original root rom comes with 'test keys' in the Build Number. That's the only thing I could trouble shoot down to what was keeping me from seeing certain apps that the wife had on her Droid. One app from the credit union she works for was one of them. Now that I RUUed I can get those apps.

Then I went for the old s-off HBOOT and ended up with the test keys again courtesy of original root rom PB00IMG. :(

I don't care about missing out on OTA updates or anything else Verizon might push out but the access to ALL of the apps is a deal killer for me.

So... is this just me? Did I do something wonky that NO ONE else has noticed or are these two specific apps REALLY sensitive?

[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
What he said. Just place the pb00img.zip on your sdcard not in a folder power off phon and press send+power then switch to hboot and let it read the file allow the update then reboot when prompted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] It IS Lupus:
I have not. And i see no reason why it should happen. The image from the OP is the Dev Bootloader, It is signed by HTC.(maybe wrong on this i got here after the eris got rooted the first time around the time leakv3 was....well....leaked)

if i already have root, no need for me to reload amon ra's recovery?

and i am using windows vista so no need for me to download the Fastboot for linux?

If i understand correctly, i need to

step 2 - 6 - doi need to flash a new rom if i already have root and a rom i am happy with?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Will I be safe with 1.49-ON if I just do nandroid backups and rom flashes? it says in the OP that OFF is harder to brick. why is that? I don't and won't have access to a computer for a while so I can't get the bootloader installed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
i have 1.49 s-on, rooted and can do nandroid backups, flash roms etc. But I can't seem to flash any of the Froyo, Cynaogen roms. I have great luck with any of the Aloysius roms, XTR, Evil Eris.

It's unclear if the hboot is making it like this.

Do you have root now? You used the wag3slav3 method?
[Droid Eris Android Development] ThorSkaagi:
Well I rooted a couple weeks ago, and have been flashing roms like crazy, including cyanogen 2.2 roms. I used the method where you typed in a bunch of adb commands... forgot what it was called. I did it actually the day before the phone-only method came out. I am just worried about bricking though. currently using the Droid Does rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
adb push flash_image /data/local/flash_image

the files need to be copied to my sd card and then i run the adb commands?

or do the file get downloaded to my c drive in the sdk tools folder? then do I have to rename the file path above to match the sdk tools folder?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Jp50:
okay i think i got most of this, but when i reboot into fastboot, i can push the recovery image thru the cmd prompt.

but the only option on the phone is to press vol down, this reloads the PB00IMG zip again. Is this supposed to go thru that whole process again?

How do i get in amon ras recovery from here?

:confused:

edit:

okay i pulled battery, when the phone was off pulled out the sd card, pressed send and end keys, once in the boot screen pressed the vol down, then up inserted sd card back in and got to amon ras. now flashing kaos froyo.

i do have s-off now! woo hoo!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
Well after the PB00IMG was done loading you should have rebooted to fastboot then push amons recovery via adb

"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

This would put amons back on the phone but if it worked then awesome.

*Edit* I just got what you meant. Yeah with the PB00img on the sd card you would have to take it out. I'm a little slow today :)

hi all,

nOOb question after reading the entire 8 pages and other searching I cannot find if I need to follow

all the steps

listed in first post or if I only need to flash one or two things to get the bootloader s-off on my phone. I would rather avoid if possible, however will if I have to. Any assistance will be much appreciated.

[Droid Eris Android Development] orkillakilla:
Be sure to nand backup first. You need to push the misc.img to your phone via adb in order to do the rest. The misc.img file basically makes it so you can flash any update or downgrade regardless of your hboot version.

[Droid Eris Android Development] loserkidsblink:
Notice I've never made a post in these forums before.

I'm not really a "noob" when it comes to modifying/jailbreaking/rooting devices. I never really go in-depth with it.. I just rooted my eris for the sake of tethering and left it as-is. I also wanted 2.1 before it was out, and had the leaked version.

To make a long story short, I was stuck in with the ****ty hboot that I couldn't get rid of.

I've been online looking for fixes for the past, oh, 4-5 hours now. I've done all these different steps, re-rooting and.. just.. argh. It's been a huge pain in the ass.

I rooted one click easy root, so some of this is greek. All tutorials just say use this, do this, but never explains why we need to, and what exactly each step accomplishes and does.

When I attempt to push custom.img to /data/local/

I get:

cannot stat 'custom.img' : no such file or directory

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
That message means exactly what it says: the "adb" command can not find the "custom.img" file in the command window's "current directory"

The simplest way to correct this is to make sure that you move files that you intend to "push" into the same directory ("folder") that you are in when you run the adb command - the so-called "current directory".

Sounds like you are unfamiliar with using the command prompt - look online for a tutorial about using the "Windows command prompt", and pay special attention to the CD command, and also what the PATH environment variable does.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
I closed out of the command session and reopened a new one ... And it worked fine. The file was there. I don't why it didn't like it the first time. I even typed the command 3 times to makes sure it wasn't a typo. Dunno.

HBOOT load and apply PB00IMG ...

phone reboots and sticks at the verizon screen.

Is there where I do fastboot recovery?:confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
The Verizon splash screen should disappear after a while (the first time the phone boots after a ROM flashing operation it takes longer than normal to finish booting.)

Power the phone down and then restart in fastboot mode by holding the Send and End buttons simultaneously. This will put you in fastboot mode on the phone - run the fastboot command at that time.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
Thanks for your help

... I'm not getting any response when I fastboot the recovery.

Currently, if I start up phone in recovery mode ( vol down + power ) it opens up HBOOT screen. If I tell it to go to recovery, it gives triangle + ! with a green android.

I would assume that is because I haven't put the recovery.img back on to the phone ... but my fastboot isn't getting through .....

ideas???
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
One addition comment ...

when I go to the cmd screen and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

it will say <waiting for device>

and just sit there .... doing nothing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
If you start the phone in fastboot mode (Send+End) you should see "FASTBOOT USB" on the screen.

If you then run the command "fastboot devices" from the pc you should see the device serial number printed out if the pc is communicating correctly with the phone.

If the phone is correctly in fastboot mode and you still see that waiting for device message then the probable cause is a driver problem on the pc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
Ok, it sees my phone.

So, it appears to be a driver issue. Thanks. I'll keep fighting with it.

Luckily, the phone isn't a brick .. I can call, etc ... It's basically in the exact condition I got it, other than the S-OFF HBOOT. So, I'm close to getting it there.

I'll try and track down the driver I need.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Hang on a second.

If you see the "fastboot devices" command reporting your device serial number there is no driver problem.

Also if you unplug and replug the the USB cable, you will see the display in the phone toggle between "FASTBOOT" and "FASTBOOT USB". If you listen to the sounds your PC makes, it should be obvious if the device is recognized correctly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
How long should it take? My phone just sits there ... doesn't reboot or anything. Sorry to be a pest ... Thanks again for the all the help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
I'm going to feel like an idiot here, in case I missed a step ....

Should phone be in the FASTBOOT MODE, when I type the fastboot command?
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
YES IT SHOULD! LOL ....

Ok, I confirmed I'm an idiot ...... *slams head on desk repeatedly*
