What you need to do is wipe data and davlik cache then reflash kaosfroyo. If your using version 38 you should download and flash conaps cfs 6 kernel the same way u flashed the rom right after you flash the rom. If not youll have horrible battery life. Trying to flash froyo over 2.1 without a wipe will cause it to get stuck while booting.

I can't connect to IRC chat for whatever reason. Any reason off the top of your head that su wouldn't see any of my applications? It just shows a blank screen.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ddiaz2187:
Hey thanks for this! It's great...I am just a little confused whether it is working or not. I got the superuser permissions app on there (it's a picture of a ninja) and now I installed Titanium Backup for getting rid of the bloatware but it does not allow me to gain root access? How do I go about doing this....??? I was following the same procedures as the Samsung Galaxy S...
[Droid Eris Android Development] jester369:
Titanium Backup? All I'm trying to do is get rid of the crap on my phone, that sounds like what I need. Where do I find that?
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
You can get it from the market
[Droid Eris Android Development] jester369:
Excellent, finally got things working. Thank you!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Did you ever get this worked out? If you have SU on there it's definitely rooted. The first time you run Titanium Backup or anything else that'll use root if you have it, SU should pop up and ask for permission. Hit Allow. From then on it shouldn't ask you for that same program and it should be working. Could you have hit Deny or not answered it at all? You can go into the SU app and check apps that you've allowed or denied.

I will be rooting shortly but wanted a way to unroot if I have to return the phone. I have looked in the following thread that is all development talk and it never mentions how to unrooted the one click root. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756775 Are there instructions around?

Apps to SD Card do not run

So I just rooted and the main reason I did was to save some space on the phone and move my apps to the SD card. I did, but it say they're no longer installed on my phone and that includes ASTRO so I can't really browse them.

How can I move them back or do this the right way?

Thanks.

Update: I connect to my computer and the SD card seems to have been wiped except for a few random folders. Before I start freaking out, help??? Is this because of the partitioning?
[Droid Eris Android Development] WhistlingDog:
I've just run the 1-click rooting procedure from the Market-application. Seems to have worked cleanly--I now have superuser permissions available in the app drawer, and I did a Nand backup, which requires root. Thanx!

Now the Question:I set USB debugging ON during the root procedure, but with this option turned on, my laptop initially didn't recognize the SD card as a drive the way it did before; but now my Win7-equipped laptop has found the appropriate drivers and seems to find the SD card Ok. Under what conditions or for what purposed do you keep USB debugging ON and for what purposes do you turn it back OFF?. I plan on flashing a custom ROM soon; it is necessary for USB debugging to be On or Off to do this?

Thanks in advance...

Can Rootme.zip be deleted after successfully rooting? Excuse the noob question.
[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
It sure can.
[Droid Eris Android Development] redtrk:
Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.

Just that easy...........and yes flash the rom of your choice.

BTW not trying to be a smartass, I hope it didn't come across that way.

Hi all, I may have missed something while browsing this thread, but i got a proble:

I am trying to root a buddy's phone using this method. I rooted mine but it was a while ago and forgot the exact steps. This seems easy enough, so i gave it a try. I got to the AMON-RA recovery screen and realized that the trackball isn't working. The only thing i can do is reboot(1st menu option) and it loads the regular os fine. His phone still works but i cant flash any roms since i cant move the cursor on amon ra's recovery screen. Any ideas? He has a droid eris running the 2.1 OTA. Is this possibly the problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, maybe there is a diffent way to root if its a 2.1 OTA. Still looking around the forum for similar posts but havent found anything yet.

Thanks,

Pascal

Download it directly on your phone and install it using a File Manager app. (e.g. ES File Manager). It will be in the /sdcard/download folder after you download it.

You need to turn on the checkbox at Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources in order to do that.

You don't need it for this particular activity, but as you come up to speed on other root-related activities, you might want to review these posts:

There is a trackball-free variant of Amon_RA available (actually two versions, very similar):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9124095#post9124095

No doubt you are thinking "great, but how do I install it, since I don't have a working trackball?"

This thread will give you some ideas - see the "Installation" section

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

Some Eris (Erii ?) have mechanically marginal trackballs, and users with those handsets report that gently wiggling the USB cable connector (with it plugged in to the phone) will sometimes enable the use of the scroll function in the trackball. That usually is the case with handsets that also have problems with the trackball in the regular OS, though; there are apparently some Eris handsets where the trackball is perfect in the regular OS, but won't scroll at all in Amon_RA. The USB wiggle thing won't work for those - but it is easy enough to try.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pborner:
The trackball works fine, only in Amon RA is it not working!?!?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
It happens. You are not the first. There are workarounds, and I provided links for the same.
[Droid Eris Android Development] WhistlingDog:
Actually I noticed that removing the 1-click root app did NOT remove the rootme.zip file from my sdcard. I deleted it but later recopied it just in case I ran into trouble later and needed to re-root (not that rootme.zip would help).

Which leads me to ask, is there any harm in leaving rootme.zip in my sdcard? It's an 8MB card so space isn't an issue.
[Droid Eris Android Development] drexnx:
I get an "error on line 3" when I try and flash the rootme.zip...

i need help please i recently installed one click app then i rebooted my phone went to flash the .zip but it just keeps showing me big ANDROID letters and i dont see anything from there did i miss something?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SupraLance:
The original post really should be editted to say "press volume DOWN and power simultaneously" and then select 'recovery' from the options. Volume UP and power just boots normally, at least until after superuser is installed. Other than that, this worked great. THANKS guys for making rooting so easy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] neederishelp:
up and power button worked fine for me...

I had the same experience as SupraLance...Vol-down + Power worked fantastic. Wonderful app...much thanks to the devs. Donating to a local afterschool program now on your behalf. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] big daddy kane:
UP+POWER worked for mine, but it did not work on a friend's........ Mine would go into the mode where it's the triangle with the exlamation point, but the friend's wouldn't do it for the life of me.

Then I did the DOWN+POWER on his and it went into the normal hboot menu, but it had more options than mine had. Was able to get to recovery mode that way.

Maybe the phone had a newer stock bootloader than mine?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Yes; the key-press sequences and the menu items presented are different between the 1.47.0000 (S-ON) and 1.49.0000 (S-ON) bootloader.

To my knowledge, only on the latter can you use Vol-Up+End/Power to cold start directly into the recovery boot. With 1.47.0000, you have to cold start with HBOOT (Vol-Up+End/Power) or FASTBOOT (Send+End/Power), and then traverse the menus to get to the recovery boot - just as you did.

Also, if a stock recovery is on the phone, the key-sequence to get the (initially hidden) stock recovery menu to appear is different between different releases of the stock recovery. On HTC Eris recoveries for Cupcake (1.5) ROMs, you pressed the Home(softkey)+End/Power, and on Eclair (2.1) ROMs, you press Vol-Up+End/Power (a second time).

Hope that clears things up.

[Droid Eris Android Development] tklives:
Baffled...

OK, because you guys are the Eris guru's, I am kind of dumping a couple of questions in the same post...(sorry, but you are good!)

So I will preface with the fact this MAY not be completely related to the rooting, but I figured this would be a good outlet for it. I went through the process, rooted the phone, everything was peachy. I had Superuser and everything. When trying to open up Titanium Backup, I was prompted as usual to grant permissions, which I did. When it finally launches, it tells me unable to acquire root access.

Is this just maybe a problem where Titanium Backup doesn't work on the Eris, or is it possible that it did not completely root somehow?

**Furthermore, I then flashed clockworkmod and attempted to flash the GSB ROM. It flashed successfully, followed by gapps (blah blah). But then when I rebooted, it just replayed the boot animation for 7 hours (over night). I backed it all up before meddling, so life is good, but could that be related to the root issue too?

I am sorry to ask this here, and truly appreciate any help you have to offer!!

Thanks!

[Droid Eris Android Development] doogald:
With TiBu, there is a "Problems" button at the bottom. I assume that you didn't have Busybox installed, and that will install it for you. That was probably the issue.

We Eris users tend to discourage Clockwork Recovery, as people with Clockwork have bricked their phones in the past. However, based on your post, my guess is that you did not wipe data before you flashed GSB and gapps. Forgetting to do that will lead to the results you describe.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tklives:
Ok, good to know about the clockwork recovery! Do you recommend just using the stock utility to flash then?

Also, I did try to install the busybox, and that is where I am getting the Root Denied message. I tried uninstalling TiBu and reinstalling, but got the same result. I will wipe the phone completely, and start from square one.

I personally have a galaxy s, so it is a bit of a different world than the Eris.

Thank you for your help! :)

I have tried several battery pulls, I put the SD Card in and out and tried it with it in and out and no luck. This is a friend of mines phone so IT CANNOT BE BRICKED. Please help me!

Readers: pay it forward if you benefit from their work. Contribute to your community as well as these remarkable devs. Most towns have a shelter program for the homeless youth. Check the local churches or schools (during the summer). Set aside one evening and donate your time and service.

As you can see, one persons contribution can have a major impact on so many lives. Make a difference with your life. It goes a long way.

If you can reboot into recovery, then you dont need to run this app again. Use trackball to navigate the recovery.
