Thanks for the feedback but.....

This is from the very FIRST post of this thread:

Step 1) download and install this apk

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/erisone010.apk - VERSION 0.1.0

Step 2) Run, read disclaimer, press button

Step 3) Reboot, once rebooted your phone should have Amon's recovery. Yay.

Step 4) Use the recovery to flash rootme.zip that is now on your SDCard, or the custom rom of your choice.

Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.

Just that easy.

This is exactly what I did. After this didn't work, I DID do the wipe, but it still isn't allowing me to flash from SD....
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Yeah I used this same program and I thought it was funny it didn't give the wipe instructions, but it didn't work for me till I wiped. Because when u root the old fashion way u still have to wipe before flashing a rom

Oops I didn't read that last part, I don't know what the problem may be, I'm new to all this as well. Maybe u might have to do it from it computer using adb devices
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazboysdad:
Thanks. So what you're saying is, since I have already ran the 1 click app, I just need to go back in to the recovery and perform the wipe, then go to "flash from SD" and it should work?

I will give it another shot in the morning....

Sweeeeet

Ok so let me chime in about this sweet app. I could have done it the old fashion way but I am way to lazy. this finally allowed me to stop complaining about my droid eris and to start enjoying . Phone rooted and installed Kaos firmware on it .
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazboysdad:
OK, I did the wipes and tried AGAIN.... Still didn't work. It is still showing that it can't mount the SD card. This is only a problem when I'm in the boot screen. The SD card is showing up fine when the phone is rebooted.

Apparently my Eris is a bigger piece of **** then I originally thought....
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
It might be a prblem with ur SD card. but like i said before im also new to this stuff but i went here http://chat.andirc.net and chat with people that do this stuff everyday and they help me with every problem i have
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazboysdad:
It doesn't make any sense, seeing as I could access everything on my memory card in normal operation, but replaced my memory card with a different one and ALL IS WELL!!! I am finally running Froyo and am loving it!!

Thanks all!!!

Music library info after updating to 2.2

Has anyone else had a problem with song info missing, when you open your music player, to play a song from your music folder on the SD card? I have tried the stock music player, Meridian, and MixZing and all 3 have the songs show up by title, but the artist, album, and genre are all listed as unknown. If I open the artist tab, it has everything grouped under "unknown". I tried deleting ALL of the songs off of the memory card and then put them back on (yes, they all have the artist and genre in the ID tag), but it still shows up only under the song title and as unknown artist.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
Yes, that can occur if you have a failing sdcard, they get "worn" out especially if you're deleting/writing to your card alot (moving files to and from/installing/flashing etc...) and will start giving you problems.

If you'd like, try Music Mod. It works well for me and always shows the correct info. It's not pretty, but it's solid.
[Droid Eris Android Development] empathyislost:
this is amazing; thank you. i already have my OTA 2.1 update and had no idea how i was going to downgrade to 1.5 to root the long way yet...this saves hours of time for a first-time rooter.

thank you so much.
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
I always ended up with problems with music players like that , but ever since i downloaded the Folder music player MortPlayer i have not ever had a problem like that, the player is just like listening to music off your pc instead of it trying to rearrange your music by its own settings like the stock music player

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VZW said f you davy, no froyo for you. Well I sure showed them. Thank you Mr. jcase (just cuz anyone should enjoy) that's what jcase stands for. I will surely donate to the local boys and girls club. Thank you sir.

If you have the issue with the red triangle on reboot, plug your droid into your computer USB style.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazboysdad:
The only problem with MortPlayer is that you can't listen to a specific artists or by a specific genre.... Other than, yes it is working,

Froyo updated version question?

I love KaosFroyo, but I'm wondering about updating from v34 to v35 (or any other future versions)? I assume that I would just put the v35 zip on the SD card and follow the same procedure, but a couple of questions... 1) Is it safe to assume that v35 will just overwrite v34? 2) Does a wipe need to be done after updating versions? Hopefully not, because it really sucks trying to get everything back to the way I like it...lol. Thanks again for all of your help!!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
I flashed from v34 had no problem but don't flash to v35 flash to v35-1 it has the gps fix that v35 does not have. V35 u wont be able to use gps or stock internet browser due to the bad gps
[Droid Eris Android Development] noiddroid:
So I don't think I'm doing this right. I run app click ok and then it tells me to reboot so I power down and restart yet I don't see amons recovery on my SD card. I don't hunk I'm rebooting right any tips?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Your doing it right. Its there I was in the same shoes u were I couldn't find it. What I did was I went ahead and did the full wipe and flashed a rom. If the recovery isn't there it will not install the rom but it flashed normal and worked right away. In also sure its installing the image on ur phone not the sd card so u wouldn't find it on ir sd card
[Droid Eris Android Development] sage55:
This method worked perfectly for me, however how would I go about UN-rooting the phone if I wanted to?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Abowersq:
I will give the universal answer

Search. Trust me its out there try RUU Eris or leak-v3 PB001.zip its what I did
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Its in the sticky thread called eris roll up. Under RUU
[Droid Eris Android Development] boceifo:
this was too easy! thanks for this and all the hard work that you did for this and thank everyone else that helped you too!
[Droid Eris Android Development] tmason68:
This worked for me as well. I was one of those that had to use the down volume button. I haven't decided on a rom yet. I am leaning towards one of the vanilla roms as I am not tired of the stock yet (I have only had the phone for a month). Mostly I want to be able to put stuff on the SD Card.

Thanks for the great app.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Sub-Standard:
Is it safe to use the one click root app on an already rooted Eris on 2.2?

Hello, I am having a problem with root on the Eris & would like to know if someone could point me in the right direction....

I have a Moto Droid that I obtained root on about 6 months ago & have been switching between ROMs by using the ROM Manager App with no problems at all. (I sold my Eris & purchased the Droid at the time that it was not yet possible to root the Eris currently running 2.0/2.1.)

My wife finally decided that she wanted her Eris rooted, so I downloaded the 1click root app & it worked perfectly! My wife was very happy & said it had never been faster! Then I downloaded ROM Manager & tried to switch ROMS. There is only one ROM currently available on the premium version of ROM Manager - "ShadowROM". Ever since I downloaded ShadowRom my wife's Eris rondomly powers off & reboots & takes a long time coming back on. ShadowRom has been on her Eris for about 8 hours & the phone has probably shut down about 15 times.

I just want to go back the the ROM that was installed automatically when I used the one click root app. It worked Perfectly & she was very happy with it. I just want to know if it is OK to use the one click root app on an already rooted phone running android 2.2. I think I remember seeing that the app was only for non-rooted Eris' running 2.1. I just don't want to mess up the phone by using the one click root since it is already rooted with 2.2......

Is it safe to use the one click root app on an already rooted Eris on 2.2?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
It is probably "safe" to use, in the sense that it would not work, and therefore would not change anything. So safe? Yes, very safe. Useful? Not really.

So, here's the deal.

You will not find anybody in the Eris forums who strongly advocates the use of ROM Manager/ClockworkMod recovery. (I don't doubt there are people successfully using it on the Eris, however; it's just that no advocacy for it has occurred within the Eris dev community, and so there is very little experience or past problem solving exercises with it by Eris users that participate here). That could be due to historical reasons alone; on the other hand, the majority of brickings which have been documented on this (Eris) subforums - very few of them in total, frankly - seem to revolve around the use of ClockworkMod recovery.

I don't know why that is exactly - I am certainly not blaming Clockwork - as I understand, it seems to be used on a lot of other phones successfully. It might be that it (the brickings) has something to do with the proclivities and capabilities of the people using RomManager/Clockwork, rather than some technical issue with Clockwork recovery.

So, essentially what I am saying is that you are asking about troubles with an Eris configuration which very few people here use - the vast majority of people here use only the Amon_RA (v1.6.2) recovery.

Having said that, let me ask one question and propose a possible solution:

Q: Are you saying that the version of ROM Manager that you are using will not allow you to download an arbitrary ROM (from here on XDA, for instance) and install it? (What kind of "ROM Manager" does that?)

That seems like the most obvious answer to your query - install a ROM that works well on the Eris, for goodness sakes.

Alternatively, you can look into the possibility of getting rid of ROM Manager/Clockwork on your phone and installing Amon_RA recovery

I added my facebook and twitter account in settings->account and sync

and processed an synchronization in success (the sync icon is in green color)

In Contact, display option , I uncheck "only contacts with phones",

but my facebook and twitter contacts don't show up in my Contact , so I cannot link up with my phone contacts.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Roy Ngan:
try this for Facebook

Go to Contact -> Submenu -> Get Friends -> (you should see your facebook account here, else add yours), tap on the account and select your friends.

PS: if this is your time time doing it, the application may ask you if you want to sync selected or all contact to your phone.

Hello Friends,

So I imported the vcard file into Gmail, and somehow it's

Please help I haven't searched diligently and I haven't found any solution to this problem.

Hey everyone, ever since I retrieved the vibrant on launch day, I have been deciding whether or not to root my vibrant.

So the reason why I'm starting this topic is because I need some opinions from you vibrant users on what I can benefit from a rooted phone. I'm hesitating because the only thing that's stopping me from rooting the phone is because I'm afraid off voiding the warranty.

So the general question is:

By rooting the vibrant, what are the benefits of doing it and from your/everyones experiences, what does it do for the phone?

This is my first android phone ever do I'm still kinda new.
[Vibrant General] the3dman:
Rooting is very easy on this phone and it is reversible. Removing the bloatware is the number 1 reason to root in my book. But there are also lots of good apps to install that require root. Just make sure to follow instructions. My saying is read twice flash once.

you have to modify your framework_res.apk and delete the task-manager button.

you have to search for "job_manager".

after success you can safely delete the taskmanager (via titanium backup) and thats all.
