YES.

I was starting to wonder about that - the language you used did not make it clear what mode the phone was in, although I did say several times to power the phone up using Send+End
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
Yeah, that's my fault ... I thought it was just for the initial device testing, not to run the actual commands. That's my fault. Sorry.

Pretty scary, considering I'm a software developer/programmer of 20 years, isn't it?? :p

Thanks again for all your help ... Very much appreciated!
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
No worries!

Helping someone with a remote computer via a bulletin board has got to be the worst possible way of accomplishing that task short of using carrier pigeons and braille. Way too many opportunities for miscommunication or misunderstanding when the remote screen can't be seen.

Good luck and make sure to be fastidious about verifying file checksums when using fastboot - it gives you the power to flash total garbage to your phone.

[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
fastidious. good word. Also, if I used the one click root method from jcase, can I use this method? Thanks.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
Would have been great if I had done all this right at the beginning .... but It's been repeating all the same processes, with something added to the beginning each time ....

I did this whole process just so I could change the stupid boot picture at startup. LOL:p
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Whoa. That was very informative. The title said for leak users, and I rooted from ota 2.1. I was just wondering if I could still use this method to install the engineering bootloader. What you said about disaster recovery is kinda what I've been concerned about, but it sounds like I need to study up and become comfortable with adb and do some push/pull stuff before I attempt this. so according to what you said above, doing this procedure would make it so I would need to re-root (because from what I read above the PBOOIMG is basically stock with the exception of S=off, right? Or does this process not touch Amon-ra?), flash a new radio, and then re-flash the rom of my choice, correct? Thanks for all of the info. You guys are always so helpful and patient with me. Hopefully I don't come off as a complete moron.
[Droid Eris Android Development] johnrbrown1968:
I look at it this way ... I learned a ton of new stuff today ... It was just a long drawn out process for me ... because it was complete a step ... error ... debug for a while ... figure out ... complete a step ... error ... repeat ....

But this is an ongoing process for me ...

But I've got plenty of experience rooting the phone, because I keep doing something wrong each time ... I can now root with the best of them ... LOL

I've rooted, I think 5 times ... trying different ROMs, etc ... stumbling across something wrong that I did, missed or whatever, re-root ....

I now how latest version of CELB 3.9, Amon's Recovery, custom boot animation, custom boot screen, a ton of removed bloatware and unused sound files, and a wonderfully improved phone .... from a performance perspective, battery life, efficiency, functionality, and the list goes on and on .... It's completely improved across the board in arguably every aspect.

I just need to figure out some steps that I miss, so I don't have to re-root every single time, when it's unnecessary. But hey, all part of the learning process. :D
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Basically, that's almost right. You have to remember that the OP in this thread was put up just about 1 week before the new (wag3slav3) rooting method was discovered/disclosed, so it's a bit outdated at this point. It will still work, but in some ways it is the hard way to go about solving the problem.

I have some new information, too:

I took it upon myself to flash in place two different S-ON bootloaders, and test the "erisengspl.zip" flashable installation method for you folks. (If it works, this would not force you to over-write the whole ROM and radio.) To do this, in each case I needed to start with the S-OFF (1.49.2000) bootloader in order to use fastboot to flash in place the (respective) S-ON bootloaders, and then test "erisengspl.zip" by flashing it from within Amon_RA.

[SIZE=+1]RESULTS? Mixed bag. It worked fine when the S-ON bootloader was 1.49.0000 S-ON, but silently failed when the bootloader was 1.47.0000.[/SIZE] (Fortunately for me the failure did not brick my phone. )SEE WARNING BELOW!

So, as of today, if you want to get the 1.49.2000 S-OFF bootloader on the phone, you have three options, listed in order of increasing difficulty:

1) Use the "erisengspl.zip" method (flashing it from Amon_RA) only if you currently have the 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader, or

2) Modify the steps in the OP of this thread to use the toastcfh Battery Pull Method (slightly dangerous, but I have done it maybe 50 or more times), or

3) Use the method described in the OP of this thread.

The first two methods do not overwrite your recovery, OS, or radio - the 3rd one does.

HTH

XDA user blindmanpb reported bricking of his phone when "erisengspl.zip" was flashed on a phone with a 1.46.0000 S-ON bootloader present.[/SIZE]

Previously, my own personal testing showed that it does not work with the 1.47.0000 S-ON bootloader (but did not cause a bricking)

[SIZE=+2]DO NOT USE "erisengspl.zip" ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE 1.49.0000 S-ON BOOTLOADER[/SIZE]
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
bftb0, you are awesome. Thanks for going out of your way to help me/us out. I'll have to check what bootloader I have, but it sure would be nice if I could just flash the erisengspl.zip and be done with it. That way i'd have the peace of mind of being able to deal with big problems that aren't permanent bricks. Thanks again for the help.

EDIT: I have 1.47.0000, so I guess I'll have to do it the old fashion way. The battery pull thing sounds slightly scary/dangerous to me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
Thank you very much! This worked great! One thing to note for newbs like me, after I flashed this and rebooted, it took a full 3 minutes to start up. At first I thought I was stuck and was about to post for help. lol

I've removed the PB00IMG.zip file and will now be doing a NAND restore.

I'm very much enjoying my rooting experience, and it's all thanks to this great community.
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
Whoops, not 100% smooth for me after all. I seem to be experiencing the same thing Burgers posted about. The phone is in Fastboot USB mode and plugged into the computer, but when I try to flash the AmonRa recovery image, the computer says it's "waiting for device." Tried rebooting the phone as suggested by Realm and that did not work.

edit:

Additional data: USB Debugging is on. "Install from unknown sources" is on. With the phone booted in Fastboot USB mode, running "fastboot devices" at the command prompt returns nothing -my phone (serial number) is not listed. The USB driver is fine, as I can boot up, toggle the phone as a USB Storage device and view the SDcard.

Any other way to get AmonRa back on there?

Info:

1.49.2000 S-OFF

PC running Windows 7
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
legendarykotetu

You need to have a USB driver installed on a (Windows) PC before it can communicate with the phone in fastboot mode.

If you see a "<waiting for device>" message, you can assume that the problem is one of the following (with the given probabilities)

- no driver installed on a Windows PC (97.0%)

- not running as the root user if you are on Linux (1.89%)

- unplug and replug the USB cable to reset the (Windows) driver state (1%)

- bad USB cable (0.1%)

- gremlins (0.01%)

You can get a driver installed on your PC in a number of different ways; the easiest is probably to install HTC Sync (for the Eris), or run the "Official RUU" utility up to the point where it would start the install. You could also try the Android SDK install, but in the past that has been problematical with x64 versions of Xp/7.

Bottom Line? The problem is most likely your PC and not the phone. Highly, highly unlikely that it is the phone (so long as the phone is in Fastboot mode).

BTW, you can validate that the PC is successfully communicating with the phone in fastboot mode by typing the command

fastboot devices

If you are connected, have a working driver installed, and have the phone in fastboot mode, the above command will print out your Device ID#

bftb0

PS: If you unplug and replug the USB cable while the phone is in Fastboot mode, you will see the phone display change from "FASTBOOT" to "FASTBOOT USB". If it doesn't do that, I would suspect something wrong with the cable.

[ Edit ] Re-read your post right now. I would still suspect a driver problem (unless you are using Linux, and then I would suspect the root user thing). Note that settings that you make in the ROM (such as USB debugging) have absolutely nothing to do with the way the bootloader behaves.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Sorry, re-read this again.

The USB Storage device uses a generic Microsoft "USB Mass Storage" device driver - the fact that you can mount the device as a disk drive from the PC does NOT mean that you have the HTC "ADB Composite" USB driver installed.

You need to install HTC Sync, run the RUU through until it installs the ADB Composite driver (or similar using the Android SDK install).
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
Hi bftb0,

Thanks for the quick reply. The USB Driver works from Windows 7 - I verified by booting the phone up normally, plugging it in, telling the phone to connect as a hard drive, and seeing the storage device (SDCard) appear in Windows.

At this time I also verified that USB Debugging is turned on. I then turned on "Install from Unknown soruces," and powered down. Next I booted using the power and send buttons to get to fastboot. Fastboot USB came on. I pulled the plug, noted it went to fastboot (no usb). Plugged in again and it says Fastboot USB.

Still, when I run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from the command prompt, I get the "< waiting for device >" prompt.

I am using a standard mini-usb cable, but that did not prevent adb from working in the earlier steps, nor does it prevent charging or working with the SD card.

What am I missing? hmmm...
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
This 5 minute delay on posts is killin me. LOL

I installed the Android SDK and the USB drivers (via google) some time ago, and executed the adb push and adb shell steps from earlier in the process with no problems. I don't think there is a driver issue on the computer. I will try adb again.

Edit:

adb works fine - pushed the recovery image to the sdcard using adb push recovery.img /sdcard/

can I push the recovery image somewhere else and then use the HBoot recovery option? when I try this option I get the Android error pic (green bot with a ! in a triangle), I assume because there's no recovery image wherever it is looking for one.

So, for example, can I do the following and succeed?

1) adb push recovery.img /system/recovery.img

2) boot to HBoot (or press Vol Down from fastboot)

3) press Vol UP to trigger the recovery

Alternatively, since I already pushed it to the SD card with my test of adb, can I now do the following?

adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Hmmm, strange. The only other suggestion I have (short of uninstalling the drivers and re-installing them) is to unplug and re-plug the USB cable when the phone is sitting there in fastboot mode.

The android bot picture is the stock recovery (if you press Vol-Up+End when you see that picture on the screen, you will see the menu for the stock recovery).

The stock recovery will only accept HTC-signed "update.zip" files on the SD card, so, you can't use the stock recovery to flash a new recovery.

I need to go back and figure out which ROM you have on your phone - but if it is ANY HTC 2.1 stock or leak or Root ROMs, the easiest thing for you to do to get the recovery on to your phone at this time is just to run the "One Click" app to install the recovery.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
BTW, I understand that 90% of the motivation for installing the S-OFF bootloader in the first place is to be able to use fastboot from the PC.

I still suspect that the problem will boil down to a driver issue on the PC.

With the same PC hardware and cable you can figure out whether it is a phone issue or a windows issue by booting one of those "Live-CD" Linux distros. (Linux does not require a driver). That might be a bit of effort for you if you are unfamiliar with such things.

The Ubuntu Linux command "sudo lsusb" and/or use of a Linux version of fastboot - avalable here ("sudo fastboot devices") would be diagnostic.
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
Thanks bftb0, I appreciate all of your help - I went and re-ran the Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk, and now I have AmonRa's recovery. Major props and once again thanks to jcase and co for these tools! :D

I have restored my NAND backup of KFY 39 and rebooted, so far, so good.

Bootanimation, check.

KFY rom, check.

apps, check.

Looks like everything is working!

So running the Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk seems to be a viable alternative if fastboot won't connect for some reason (gremlins).
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
... and you have the S-OFF bootloader, too - check!

(but until you figure out what the communication problem is, it won't do you much good.)

good luck
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
lol, too true.
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
So with the oem cable @ home, no change. Windows XP was unable to interface with the phone before and after. Also in XP, sdcard works, but strangely only if I turn off usb debugging.

Basically haven't learned anything yet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
I am able. :-) Thanks very much for this data. Will give it a go tonight.
[Droid Eris Android Development] legendarykotetu:
You're a rockstar. After removing several disconnected devices, scanning it a few times, and finally rebooting the phone in recovery mode, the phone showed up in the device manager under "Android Phone" with devices "Android Bootloader Interface" and "Android Composite ADB Interface," and under Universal Serial Bus Controllers as a Composite Device and a USB Mass Storage Device.

ADB and Fastboot now both detect the phone when I use the Devices switch.

Rockstar I say! ROCKSTAR!

edit:

On my Win7 machine Fastboot is now working! (adb stopped working, lol) I'll keep fiddling. Thanks again.

edit 2:

next day on Win7 fastboot and adb both work. More reboots were required I guess? Anyway, all problems resolved, thanks much!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
The Touch Pro2 is a nice device and it choke once and a while running window mobile 6.5 and 6.5.5, but runs windows mobile 6.1 perfectly while searching the net i found this guide http://www.wmskins.com/blog/how-to-easily-boost-your-windows-mobile-performance i have yet to try it out but most likely i would test it out tomorrow running a 6.5 rom.

Just Wanted to share ^_^
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
The freeware apps mentioned are famous here at XDA. Pagepool changer is a great tool. CleanRAM is a must. And, HDTweak and Advanced Config just change the registry values for you (but I do the reg-tweaks myself).

There's a limit to what they can do, but it's better than nothing, I suppose.:o Note that it also depends on the ROM. The lighter the ROM, the better the performance.

Comparing my HD2 to my TP2, side-by-side -- my TP2 always looks slow!:rolleyes::p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
haha true, the HD2 got a 1ghz processor and 512 MB of ram... faster processor to control the action of the phone, and more ram to do what ever u want ^_^... but all touch dont float BeEazy boat, that why im trying to get the best out of my Tp2 until another phone come out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
lol But the thing is, once RAM usage goes up to 50% on my HD2, it's starts slowing down. I don't get it. When it's below 50%, it's lightning fast. I don't know if it's just something with the whole ROM or just Sense 2.5.

Back on topic... Look at what was just released.;) If you decide to overclock, just keep in mind the risks of doing so. I'll personally overclock my TP2 later (when the OC gets more stable).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:

[Desire General] qubz:
After udk's release of his ROM's based on the HTC leaked froyo a lot of other Froyo Sense ROM's based on his one have been appearing out of the wood work here and at Modaco. Personally, I think HTC sense sucks, its just too complex, GUI inconsistent, a useless waste of RAM and ugly. Although the release of this was a big step toward complete Desire Froyo ROM, I am still waiting for a vanilla sense-less Desire Froyo ROM with good 720p capabilities. Is it possible?

AdamG has mentioned that 720p is not on the top of his list of priorities, and that he is more concerned about ironing out bugs.

ahmgsk has hinted at a sense-less version of his ROM if all goes well.

I don't know what the final CM6 RC1 release will be like, maybe it has this feature enabled. From what I have seen and heard, CM ROM's are not vanilla.

Regarding a wish-list for the ultimate ROM, what are YOU still waiting for?
[HTC Aria General] xixdiy:
AT&T aside...

HTC Aria and HTC Wildfire are essentially the same?

Seems like HTC Aria is the Android version of HTC HD Mini, while HTC Wildfire is the mini version of HTC Desire.
[HTC Aria General] psychoace:
They both have a mix of features though

The Wildfire has a 528mhz cpu while the Aria is 600mhz.

The Wildfire has flash for it's camera while the Aria does not.

The Wildfire has 100mah power in it's battery pack

The Wildfire is .5inch taller then the Aria

But this all kinda means jack when the wildfire seems to be an international phone for us Americans.
[HTC Aria General] oahceasgnikgneas:
In my opinion the wildfire has its biggest downfall in the screen resolution. At the same size as the Aria's screen, it only offers QVGA resolution instead of HVGA.
[HTC Aria General] khaytsus:
It is not just 528 vs 600, or 72Mhz. It's a very different, and much slower CPU.
[HTC Aria General] pcruz:
I really loved the wildfire design when it was announced, sorta like a mini Nexus One with an optical scroller. I am so happy with my Aria I can't look back, only think I miss is camera flash.
