[Droid Eris Android Development] paOol:
wow, i just recently rooted my sister's phone and had to setup ADB on her macbook. that wasn't fun lol.

thanks for this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdanishdk:
ONLY for Droid Eris??????????

A danish Android forum links to this as a root mod for Samsung Galaxy S. To my best knowledge, this is a root mod for the US phone Droid Eris, or am I misled somehow?? I just wanna be sure before I try this, and end up with a 900 dollar paperweight with 22 installments still left to pay ;=))))
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
rhcp ported it to the GalaxyS

I havent used it but I trust Jcase if i ever need to reroot my phone this will be how i do it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Spinkness:
OMG, thank you so much!!!

I've been looking forever to find an easy way to root my eris 2.1 without erasing everything!

You are my hero...

GREAT WORK!
[Droid Eris Android Development] LuvArabians:
I thought I followed the instructions completely but after the final reboot my phone's been stuck at the white screen with the skateboarding androids. Please help!

ETA: Never mind. Left it on that screen for 15-20 minutes and it rebooted all the way.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
hello all and thank you jcase and anyone else who contributed to this rooting process

used it last night and everything went smooth (got evileris4.0 up and running)

however, my up time and awake are the exact same and it is killing my battery

does anyone know of a way to fix this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Did you flash a custom rom? The app makes no changes that should cause this.
[Droid Eris Android Development] NPH-:
i put the evileris rom on as soon as I rooted

could that have possibly caused it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Once you flash a custom rom, 1click and all of its files are gone. You are left with just the custom rom and amon's recovery. I would post in th evil eris thread
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
Just wanted to say i got a replacement phone the other day and this method saved me the trouble of the long way of rooting. Thanks jcase.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Franjaneil:
How do i know if i succesfully rooted it?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Kodiakco:
Dumb question, do you have to have the track ball to do this? The "down" on my track ball does not work.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
look in your app drawer. if you have superuser in there, then you are rooted.
[Droid Eris Android Development] nekeypan:
its great. I have root my eris,so amazing.

big thx from China.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Franjaneil:
alright i have it thanks so now i can install any ROM now? or is there a specific list?
[Droid Eris Android Development] swirlin_1:
help

For the 12696991click root developer,

sorry for the possibly dumb question .i have a galaxys captivate from att ,will your process work for me to get root access on my phone.i have tried some other methods i have seen,but as far as i have been able to find ,the posts have only been for the older captivate phone or galaxy (which have buttons)and mine does not so its kind of hard when i read that i will need to hold down and press certain buttons to boot into recovery.I aplogize if i am asking this in the incorrect forum,but i am at my witts end.Can you possibly help? i would be happy to make a donation if i can just get a straight up solution. and believe it or not ,i am actually not a n00b3.(maybe a little ,as far as android is concerned) Thanks ahead of time ..
[Droid Eris Android Development] Franjaneil:
I don't that much about this either, but im pretty sure this only works with the Verizon HTC Droid Eris. The phones are two completely different devices, one being from HTC, the other being from Samsung. Hope this helps. [:

Can you go back to stock if you Root with this app? I want to try rooting my phone but want the ability to go back to stock in case I need to send my phone back for any reason. How do I load another ROM?
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Flash ruu to go back to stock

To load another rom, flash it from recovery
[Droid Eris Android Development] bsmith1051:
Have you had a chance to test it on the Sprint HTC Hero? I looked in the Market and found the "HTC Eris 1 Click Root' app but it still clearly states "HTC Droid Eris only"
[Droid Eris Android Development] jcase:
Reprots are that it works fine. I will not be putting that one on the market, search hero app forum.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ram911:
This response is directed to the trackball on the Droid Eris not working when in the recovery screen. I had this issue when I rooted my Eris and found that if you insert the usb plug part way into the phone while scrolling down with the track ball you will be able to choose the other options. This was found in a thread while I searched for a solution myself....

Hope this helps.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bboyzala:
this is legit

yup. it works. yay rooting =]
[Droid Eris Android Development] lifyre:
If you don't have one check out Child's Play, Boys and Girls Club, or the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Also this is an amazing app that not that long ago we thought would never happen for those on leaks. Thanks so much guys!
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
Hands down the best app out there, totally saved me the headache of "adbshell scripties" smooth like butta, awesome work guys
[Droid Eris Android Development] snickler:
Can't get to Recovery menu?

I ran the App, rebooted the phone and did as the instructions said by holding the volume up+power with no avail. I checked to see if the rootme.zip is on the SD card and it is.. What am I doing wrong?
[Droid Eris Android Development] kellinwood:
Same here. Vol UP + Power doesn't work for me. Tried about 5 times before getting it to work with Vol DOWN + Power.
[Droid Eris Android Development] endoki:
Followed the steps and everything went smooth. :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] WormDoes:
I did the same, rebooted the phone but can't find the superuser icon in my apps. How do I find out If I'm rooted or If I did something wrong?
[Droid Eris Android Development] WormDoes:
Nevermind, I tried it again and got it to work. Thanks OP for your time and effort
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
Did you go into recovery and flash rootme.zip or a custom rom?? do that and superuser should be in drawer
[Droid Eris Android Development] snickler:
Wait, vol down+power works? I thought that was only for a hard reset? Can someone clarify for me? I've been trying the vol up+power like 10 times with no success.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
you can get recovery by holding vol up and (red) power button or by hitting vol down and (red) power button then when hboot menu hit vol up to reach recovery
[Droid Eris Android Development] Romparoo:
:confused: hmm.

I am not new to root. Just got my replacement phone, and decided to use your app to root than the original method.

After a restart I get a black screen with a picture of an Eris and a red triangle with an explanation mark in.

EDIT: I figured it out. After several battery pulls and no success I decided to remove the SD card after a battery pull and it worked right away! :)

I did a nan backup on my old Eris and thought I could just flash that on the new rooted one but it doesn't work...is this possible? If so, what do I need to do?

Thanks for the great work Jcase!
[Droid Eris Android Development] androidsteve:
Hi i am currently rooted and am getting the incredible for a replacement phone. can i use this to unroot my eris and return it to stock????? please help. i am having trouble finding a easy way to unroot and return to stock 2.1.. thank you guys for your help..
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
no, the app cannot unroot your phone. to do that, run the RUU: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Des...WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe
[Droid Eris Android Development] fallenembers08:
ugh

Alright I am stuck.

I am using pbooming to run my 2.1 leak... I can't seem to run this setup. Any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Android Development] schwinn8:
Scaredy-cat user here who just finally rooted his wife's Eris with this method. Worked wonderfully.

My only complaint was that getting into recovery is not possible on her phone with the VolUp+Power button. I always have to go via VolDown+Power, then select "recovery" in HBOOT. I'd like to suggest recommending both methods in your original post. (HBOOT 1.47.0000 if that matters)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ironcladjei:
Just used this method to root and it went very smooth. Thank you Jcase. Has anyone had any lag issues when texting after root? This is only one issue I have noticed. Other than that everything is great. Could be my phone too, no idea.

My other question is what is the best ROM to use? I know it comes to preferance but what has been around the longest? I am a root noob so please forgive me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Malymal:
I dont get it. so mad!

Hi i just did all this **** and ive rebooted my eris about 5 or 6 times and it still looks the same old plain jane 2.1 someone help me out please.... email malymal73@gmail.com
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
I use kaosfroyo and I love it. I would recommend it to you.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emediately:
Hi, guys.. I have never rooted a phone before. Got an Eris like a month ago.

I purchased it from eBay. It runs the 2.1 firmware. After turning it on, next day there was an update available.. i updated it.. over the air.. had no clue what it was about..

Now, I research kuz I wanna root my Eris. When I check the bootloader it says 1.49.0000. I guess that means I have a 2.1 leak.

Is this 1 click method still possible? Will the root work...?

Please help.. will donate..
[Droid Eris Android Development] stevey500:
Thanks a WHOLE lot for this app, works great.

I have two eris's here running the latest 2.1 release stock.

I only have 1 SD card with me.

I installed the app on the first eris, launched it, rebooted, shut down, held vol up +pwr, installed the .zip from SD, rebooted, WORKED.

The 2nd eris: Put my SD card in it, booted up, deleted the .zip file the previous eris put on the sd card, installed the app, (checked to see if the zip file was back on the sd card, it was), ran the app, rebooted, shut down, and on next startup I could NOT get into the recovery menu, just continues to boot. Tried several times to shut down, hold pwr+vol up, nothing, just boots normally. Tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling the app, still no go.

Doesnt make sense ! The other eris running the EXACT same software version worked great, neither of them have any rom modification, the one I'm actually trying to get working was restored earlier today, so strange.

Can anyone help?

thanks a lot

[Droid Eris Android Development] sideoutjj:
What is the difference between rooting it this way...versus using the application (HTC Eris 1 Click Root) from the market?
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
this was made before it was placed on the market. they are the same thing.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TXSTYLE:
Okay... So either I am a complete dummy or something just ain't right? In either event... I have been foking trying to root my device for HOURS now! So I came across this lovely thread and it appears that everyone is having success but me. :(

Application is installed. But every time I reeboot in recovery mode... same shyt:

E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or direcory)

Installation Aborted!

Can someone, anyone PLEASE give me step-by-step dummy terms? And I do mean step-by-step. I'm about to go Sam Jackson on my beautiful new Galaxy-S!!!!!! :mad:

If anyone replies soon... I am currently in the recovery screen now.

Marcus
[Droid Eris Android Development] TXSTYLE:
Damn.

.... Anyone? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] mcdanish:
I get the same, the file created by ErisOne010.apk is called rootme.zip and the file that the bootloader is trying to find is called update.zip and it just quits. No luck. Renaming the zip file is not enough. Help please???
[Droid Eris Android Development] fant0m08:
Will I NEED a ROM? or will the rootme.zip be enough? I'm trying to get Froyo - so I'm assuming that's a different ROM, that I would need to apply after I've already rooted? Sorry - trying to grasp the concept, here.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fant0m08:
are there supposed to be any features within the SuperUser Permissions? When I open it from my app drawer, I just get a black screen. When I hit menu, I get preferences, but nothing of use.

THoughts?
[Droid Eris Android Development] fant0m08:
Also, I just read from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=657527 how to find out the version I have. I have the release keys under the build number, which according to the sticky means its 2.1leak, and can't be rooted.

How is that possible? I upgraded from OTA? I just performed the Root, and I have the Superpermissions link... so that should mean I've rooted,when I was told I shouldn't have been able to.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stricklerjosh:
If I use the one click root...can I DL titanium backup and backup all my setting and apps before I flash a new rom? Or does doing this wipe my phone?

Thanks!

I am trying to talk my sister into rooting her phone, but she won't unless she deosn't have to do all her setting again.
[Droid Eris Android Development] fant0m08:
The original post says it doesn't wipe anything from your phone - when I did it, I didn't lose anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] gfisher23:
Just got an Eris and checked the software and it's 2.1 leak. So does this mean not rooting for me? :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] stevey500:
My eris that I have that i successfuly ran this root on was a 2.1 updated LEAK ... worked PERFECT!!

My buddy's eris has the OTA 2.1 latest, I CAN NOT get it to go to the vol-up + Pwr bootloader at all after installing the root app... , my eris with 2.1 leaked goes to that bootloader just fine after the root app install. Weird?
[Droid Eris Android Development] maxposure:
Thanks

My phone also had the 2.1 leak and it worked perfectly. I actually got confused because it seemed too simple.

Thanks again for all your hard work. I will be making my donation.

Thank you for believing in charity. I study healthcare information systems and I'm always shocked when people think there is no incentive to help someone unless their getting paid. Makes me happy that people like you and communities like this exist.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Steve125:
No you wont need a rom flashing rootme.zip will give you the superuser function. You wont lose your contacts or anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] emediately:
Umm never mind.. the root worked perfect.. no problems.. trying out KaosFroyo and a whole bunch of ****.. wipe works, everything

Trying to Root Droid Eris

Hi,

I have never done a root before, and I have a few questions. I have a droid eris running OTA Android 2.1.

If I use the one click method from jcase do I have to flash the rootme.zip first to root my Droid Eris, or can I just load any custom ROM that I want at that point? So, in other words, Do I gain root access before flashing the rootme.zip?

Also, I want to do a backup of my current ROM so that if anything goes wrong I can revert back. When during the process should I do this, and any suggestions on how I should? From what I have read, I can use Amon's recovery to do a backup.

I want to put a custom Foyo ROM on to my Eris. Is there a way to back up all of my apps and then reload them into the Froyo environment? Will there be compatibility issues?

Thanks for the help.
[Droid Eris Android Development] w1llvnyc:
quick question

This title states universal will this work on my samsung vibrant...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dmartin1972:
I have done everything so far. I am at the recovery menu and can't get it to scroll down to the install zip from sd card. Wondering how to scroll to that? Any solutions? Thank you.

overclock

I have installed the root program and have super user in the app tray. I have dowloaded set cpu to overclock but the slider still maxes out at 528mhz. Do I need to install another piece of software to allow an overclock? The only thing that I am wanting to do with the root is an overclcock at the moment.

Thanks for any help.

Can't move ROM to root directory

Gang,

I've searched the threads as best I can. Need a little help.

Running 2.1 OTA on my eris.

Just ran the one click root with no problems.

Superuser icon in the app drawer with /system/bin/sh as root (uid: 0) toggled green

I can adb shell to the phone. Get $ prompt. Su and get # prompt

Tried to adb push ROM to / and got permission denied

Tried to copy/paste using Astro file mgr. Paste option greyed out at /

ro.secure=1

Suggestions greatly appreciated.
[Droid Eris Android Development] cszui:
You should be able to scroll using your trackball. According to what I've been reading on some of the other threads, if your trackball isn't working (which is known to happen with Eris phones) then you may not be able to use this method of rooting.

If you look through the forum about this rooting method on Androidforums which is stickied on their eris-all-things-root you will find people people talking about this issue. I saw it elsewhere also but cant remember where. If you look through the rooting eris forums you'll find it pop up here and there.

Sorry I cant post the link as I am new and not allowed to post links yet.

If you look at the thread titled "froyo roms increase your battery life" the original poster has gone through a lot of research to figure out how to use Setcpu properly and he explains how to gain over clocking access.

questions

I read the threads from page 1 to 14 and i hope i didn't miss anything.

q1. is it recommended to reset my phone to "the beginning" or is it a click and all done? example some "phone provider updates" require u to reset the phone to avoid any weird software conflicts..

q2. I herd that Verizon can detect rooted phones and can stop support for those phones. -(yes I'm aware that droid Eris is no longer supported through Verizon)- I don't believe that is true but just asking.

q3. dose rooted phones run any faster?

Q4. dose rooting a android phone unlock any special options that the phone didn't have before?

thank you

nights:)
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
You need to install a ROM that has a kernal that supports overclocking. There are a few in this forum including one that all it did was add overclocking I do believe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lt_eggbeater:
Anyone happen to know what rom or kernal it is that i need to get to leave everything else untouched and just allow an overclock?
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
Search the dev forum for plain jane. there are two versions, one by jcase(added only overclocking and superuser), and one by t2noob(adds apps2sd capability on top of jcase's rom).

seriously though, the search function or just clicking through the pages could have revealed this information quite easily.
[Droid Eris Android Development] jsuh:

Stuck on Eris with red triangle - cannot boot up at all. I am able to get into the android recovery but thats about it. I installed the apk originally and then when I went to reboot I ended up here.

I cannot get the phone to register in adb so i think I may be sol.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

After doing step 5 what do you uninstall the the eris rooter app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
Yeah, this is probably a newb question.... I used this a while back on my wife's phone but did nothing else, i.e. no custom ROM, etc, etc. Can I flash zanfur's kernel, for example ?
[Droid Eris Android Development] leadbelly76:
Thank you guys so much!

Man my work is closing down the wifi here because they want to go back in time. Having root and being able to tether is a great thing. I am taking a few kids out to dinner and cooking at the Ronald McDonald House. Now that I have rooted can I switch back and fourth between roms? I would really like to try 2.2 but want to be able to get back to 2.1. Much respect goes out to jcase and ECLIPS3 and all who helped get this out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
ofcourse thats the beauty of being rooted.. just make a nandroid backup before you change roms that way if you dont like the new rom you can wipe it and restore where you left off..
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
do you have a recovery image? if so, yes....
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
yes, or if you install a custom rom it will uninstall itself..

this thread needs a sticky....
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
So I'm thinking about rooting my eris. What are the odds of bricking the phone with the one click app from the market? I want the ability to customize and overclock, but I'm a super cautious guy and don't really want to buy another phone...
[Droid Eris Android Development] frosteddroid:
slim to none....it doesnt erase anything, so you wont loose any data..
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazboysdad:
Am I just stupid?

Ok,

1) I put the Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk on my SD card.

2) Opened Astro File Manager and installed the APK.

3) I also tried it directly from the App Market.

4) Opened the Eris Rooter.

5) Clicked the "Root me now" button.

6) Got the message "After phone reboots....." Is the phone supposed to reboot itself (because it didn't)?

7) Manually rebooted the phone.

8) Shut phone down and turned it back on while holding the volume down button (holding volume up didn't do anything)

9) Got to the Hboot screen and clicked on recovery.

10) Clicked on "Flash zip from sdcard and it tells me "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (invalid argument) E:Can't mount SDCARD:

Any suggestions????
[Droid Eris Android Development] unvme1212:

Excellent work and thank you.

Everything I needed to get with the times and root my replacement Eris was right in this thread. Just had to do a little reading ;-)

You guys are awesome and I will be making that donation as requested.
[Droid Eris Android Development] putnum:
Hi should i do a wipe before installing my custom rom? I am not using the rootme rom....
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
yes.

Any time you flash from one rom to the next, you should always factory and davlik wipe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] putnum:
ok cool thanks. I thought so but did not know if I should have on the first one :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
I think before u tried to install the rom you needed to Select Wipe-->Wipe Dalvik , then do Wipe Data/Factory Reset than install from zip.. its all in the eris roll up thread (Sticky) thread
