Clove.co.uk - Very happy with the price as it was $250-$350 cheaper than buying outright in my own country! Customer service is good too.
[Desire General] technobrakes:
EBay, it was £330 at the time it was £ 50 cheaper than anywhere else .the guy said it was as new buy its got scratches on the screen ,they can't be seen with a screen guard so I kept it. EBay is full of liars.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rottenjello138:
I've been having a lot of trouble flashing new roms lately. None of evil's recent desire ports have worked for me as well as leo's froyo and a couple of others. Cyanogenmod and modaco's roms work fine. Are the roms not installing because i rooted my phone without unlocking the bootloader? Is that even relative to flashing roms? It's the only thing i can think of that might be prohibiting me from installing these roms. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mokurex:
It's not related to unlocking the bootloader whatsoever. I believe it has to do with the recovery. What recovery are you using?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futango:
Ive been able to flash every rom out there. I have a locked bootloader. I am using Amon_ra recovery 1.7.0.1.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rottenjello138:
Yeah I'm also on Ra's recovery
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rottenjello138:
i'm now getting the following error when trying to flash modaco's r21:

E:Can't chown/mod/mod /system/

(No such file or directory)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeyy:
Since Froyo came on Nexus everyone was saying that now you can finally sort contacts by last name. Where can I find that option on Desire since I haven't got any setting or options in "People" (contact) app.

Am I missing something obvious? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezmo:
It looks like unfortunately, not. :confused:

There is no option to sort by family name. Even in a cooked sense-froyo roms, if stock contacts-dialer app is inculded, the sorting by family name and search fuction are just not working. :mad:

In this moment I've few soultoin (but I'm not satisfied eider)

1. Use one of AOSP cooked rom (e.g Opendesire)

2. install 3td party apps, like BetterConttact (payd), DialerOne (free), beside the Peopple app. (This 3 app's are doing aas I want, but only separately, so somitemes I need to use one and other times other :eek: )

3. Change display name in People app one by one :p

Currently I'm on 2. but as I mentioned, I'm not really happy with that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikeyy:
I have about 600+ contacts which are growing daily, doing number 3 is out of question. :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezmo:
:rolleyes:

I just measured that 23sec need to change one. So 600 contact changes takes less tha 4 hour. When I think about it, searching for solution have taken much more...;)

But agree, it's very booring task!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kejaro:
Are you syncing contacts with your gmail account?

If so this may be worth a try, assuming my memory isn't too addled.

When I first set up my phone I synced using active sync and my contacts where stored Surname, First Name. I later deleted my active sync connection and set up using the Gmail features and the contacts swapped to First Name, Surname.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezmo:
I synced my contact to my google account since half year with my winmo as well, with no problem. In my contact list in the filed first name there is a first name, in the field last name there is a last name.... so everything is fine.

The only problem that HTC does not think that sorting by Family name is important... :mad: You know in some langueges (like mine) are sorted it this way.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dezmo:
After I bored about finding and waiting other good soultion...I just would like to let you know, I did it with all my contact (372) within 3 hours :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwanbis:
I have been moving my Hero from Sense -> Vanilla.

But, after wiping, flashing, rebooting, there are some apps, like ASTRO, MyBackup, aNetShare, and Springpad, for example, that are already there after first boot.

And before anybody says that Android is backing them up, I'm not connected to any account!

How can this be?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sebxd:
It may already be installed in the ROM you flashed
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
I've found the same thing whilst benchmarking. I'll wipe everything flash a new rom to benchmark and the benchmark apps will install themselves on first boot. Something I'm as yet unable to explain. Having said that i've experienced no issues with this the two times it has happened (out of at least 10 different rom wipes) and all the apps have worked as they should.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwanbis:
Is CMH 1.4.1 ROM. I do not think CMH has Springpad, and much less MyBackup Pro, does it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwanbis:
Same here apps work fine. But that is not the point ;) I'm getting crazy understanding where they are.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wywywywy:
Did you wipe EXT as well?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwanbis:
By EXT you mean Linux partition? Cause if that, i have no linux partitions on the card ... or not that i remember ... would have to check back if that is the case.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ante0:
Should say "Wipe SD:Ext" in recovery. That's where all apps are installed if you use Apps2sd...

Full wipe usually means Data, Dalvik, Sd:Ext.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwanbis:
I did a factory reset, dalvilk reset, but i did not do a SD:Ext, as i do not remember having a partition.

But now that you mention it, it could very well be the case.

I would check as soon as i get the phone home.

Thanks.

## I will clean up the code, and UI this weekend: and for those with any doubts: http://www.xda-developers.com/android/1-click-eris-root-app-no-pc-required/

## To those tempted to redistribute my apps, or apps based on my work without permission. This will only result in me using a new obnoxious DRM system. Please stop it.

Preface, This is not a free app, its a try before you buy app. If this app works for you, and you are happy with it. You are required to donate a meal to a homeless youth, or any amount of money to a youth outreach type program.

This is a TeamAndIRC production. The source code is available on request, if good reason exists.

I got bored and whipped this up tonight with ECLIPS3. This will root your Droid Eris running 2.1 with 1 click.

If something doesn't work, don't freak just contact me. Tested working on latest RUU.

This does NOT erase anything off your phone.You can keep you data/apps with this root!

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.

Please come chat with use at http://chat.andirc.net or irc.andirc.net #droideris if you have a separate IRC client.

Credit to:

Eclips3 for spending hours and hours and hours testing my crap. Without him this app wouldn't exist.

TopazAaron for the icon

wag3slav3 for the root method

Amon_RA for the recovery image

erisuser1 for the post that gave me the idea.

and to the authors of flash_image and superuser.apk.
[Droid Eris Android Development] ECLIPS3:
This is 100% legit! Very easy to do. One click. If you cant click one button. You dont deserve root lol!

[Droid Eris Android Development] semmtexx:
I'm confused about one thing. If it is a try before you buy app, and it is a one-click root app, then why would anyone pay for it? The majority of users only need to root once for the most part, so what's to say that people will download it, use it one time to root, and because they only need it for that one time operation, not donate at all? I can see a try before you buy for an application that can recieve daily use. Bravo nonetheless! You guys think of everything for the Eris!

Not truly universal as 1.5 isn't supported, but your description does point that out. This is a minor quibble and more of a note for anyone else attempting this on 1.5.

[Droid Eris Android Development] steven8515:
This is a question of ignorance. I have already done the one-click root. If I now want to put a different ROM on it, do I reboot into recovery, do my wipes and basically pick up at step 4?

I beg of you, please forgive my ignorance.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Steve125:
Do a nandroid back up before you wipe. You can restore the back up if you end up not liking or have issues with the new rom. Place the new downloaded rom onto your sd card, but make sure its not placed in a folder because it wont show up if it is. Instead of flashing rootme.zip, just flash your new rom and enjoy.
[Droid Eris Android Development] elitenls:
Jcase: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
[Droid Eris Android Development] kaneda31:
Amazing app! Wow!
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:

[Droid Eris Android Development] Jthrock:
Wow! Thank you so much! It is amazing what you guys have done!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Steve125:
Check out the flash back rom from btfo. Basically you just flash the rom then it returns your phone to stock 1.5 while unrooting your phone. On first boot you receive the OTA and your at stock 2.1.
[Droid Eris Android Development] thenestor:
This app made it easy for my wife, who is 2500 miles away on business, to root her phone and install wifi tether. She has no technical expertise but was able to do this with very little instruction from me. I especially appreciate the fact that this was on the Market, so I just told her which apps to download and run, and she followed the directions and was able to share wifi with her colleagues. Thanks, jcase!
[Droid Eris Android Development] stevemoffler:
Can't seem to put my wires into recovery any info?
[Droid Eris Android Development] incubus2:
Try to hold volume down and press the power button. It will give you an option to boot to recovery assuming you did everything correctly.
[Droid Eris Android Development] stevemoffler:
Okay ill give it a shot when I get home thanks!
[Droid Eris Android Development] stevemoffler:
Thanks it worked :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] MIFD118:
thank you & question

thank you very much for your time & effort. i thought my eris was stuck with leak 2.1 no root.

after rooting my phone i installed kaosfroyo which i like very much, but i am a sucker for sense & was looking at xtrsense 2.1 which i have heard good reports. my question is now that i have root can i just install the rom or do i need the amon recovery like i have been reading. this is the first time i have had to ask a question, i am slowly learning from reading these & other forums & have been having success thanks to you & all the other people who put in the time & effort.
[Droid Eris Android Development] crider:
this app is awesom i just used it to downgrade from sucky 2.1 to 1.5
[Droid Eris Android Development] botnryan:
This worked on my droid eris but for some reason when i get to the recovery screen, i cant scroll down to the Flash from sdcard option. nothing works to scroll it down to there, i tried track ball, vol buttons, everything. nothing works. So i cant complete the rooting. is there a way to flash that zip without using the recovery thing?
[Droid Eris Android Development] qipengart:
it worked and actually I am helping a homeless friend find a job... so thanks again ;)
[Droid Eris Android Development] ilikeyoumore:
nevermind got it :D

but idk what to do now. can i just install a rom? or ....? D: help
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Do a dalvik wipe and factory wipe, than flash the rom you want
[Droid Eris Android Development] mikedamirault:
Being that Eris isn't getting Froyo, there is only one thing I was looking forward to that Froyo offered that I can't get without rooting either way, which is WiFi Tethering

Other than tethering, I am pretty happy with using the unrooted 2.1 (Eclair?) I have now, and all that entails

So for just tethering, is it worth rooting?

Also, what are the dangers of rooting (other than potential bricking if done wrong)?

Also, just to be safe, is there a way to back up everything so I can return things back to the way they were if something does happen to be deleted?
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
The danger of bricking is very slim and as it is today I see posts that people figured how how to un-brick a device.. for me it was not worth owning a eris if its not rooted. Being rooted you get full developer access of your device plus the custom roms the people here make you just can't beat, im rooted using a froyo rom with the most recent 2.2.1 update and the basic cpu clock is 710 compared to stock which is some where around 500, plus my cpu is over clocked to 806 . The tethering programs are much better for rooted phoes also with the ability to tether to anything including ps3 xbox and so forth.. not to mention using bttery tweaks that gives me over 30 hours using stock battery
[Droid Eris Android Development] mikedamirault:
I think you missed my question

I wasn't asking about if I should be worried about potentially bricking my phone, I was just asking, with bricking out of the way, are there any other dangers I should be worried about, like if I do root my phone and everything works fine, does rooting a phone make the phone any more vulnerable to malicious code than an unrooted phone? Also, can it make the phone more unstable, or will it limit my access to Verizon based features or apps?

And there are people that say an iPhone isn't worth it unless you jailbreak it, again that's not really what I was asking

I know what a rooted Eris is capable of that an unrooted Eris isn't, but I am not planning on installing custom ROMs or doing any major customizing, I am perfectly fine with the apps available in the Market and the various APKs I can download, the only reason I am even thinking of rooting my Eris is because all WiFi tethering apps require hardware control of the WiFi radio (as you should/may know) and apps can't access the WiFi radio without being rooted

This is the exact reason I am debating on rooting my Eris or not

It's not that tethering programs are better for rooted phones, it's that WiFi tethering programs only work on rooted phones, I currently have a Bluetooth tethering app on my Eris right now (PdaNet from June Fabrics), and it works fine, but like you said, being that it's not WiFi tethering, it won't work for game consoles, handhelds, WiFi capable MP3 players (iPod Touch), etc., I also have Barnacle WiFi Tether installed as well, but being that it's not rooted, obviously the app doesn't work
[Droid Eris Android Development] SicNside:
Rooted is as vulnerable as unrooted as far as unstable my phone seems to be more stable now. The froyo roms here are all stable except the froyo sense roms cause right now its new and are beta roms right now and the 2.1 roms are stable. xtrSENSE seems to be those most popular for the 2.1 roms its all sense just like stock but with all bonuses of being rooted pluss super fast for a 2.1 system and im not sure but I think you need to install a rom to use rooted apps. You don't loose access to verizon things or apps. When I first rooted I remember reading that without useing custom roms I can't access apps that require root access but that was at the unlocked.com or what ever its called, I don't know to much on how it works I just know they require super user which comes stock on roms. Wireless tetherig for root users is awesome because it turns your phone into a hotspot but I learned if you are tethering to one system that wired tether for root user runs faster than wireless but it could just be me. But if you want to use the wifi than I recommend wireless tether for root users cause its a siimple one click program that's if you root.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mikedamirault:
So basically, after rooting, the Eris should work exactly how it used to with the added benefiet that I have super user access (among being able to run ROMs, etc.), is that right?

Well, like I said, I am perfectly fine with Eclair, I just need Super User access, so Froyo isn't required

Now what exactly do you mean when you say "im not sure but I think you need to install a rom to use rooted apps.", do you mean that I need a ROM of some sort before I can get Super User access?

Now by wired tether, do you mean USB tethering? I already have Bluetooth and USB tethering

The WiFi tethering app I have now seems like it will do the job just fine, it's just a matter of getting Super User access

So, if I run the rooting app, will everything be the same way it is now, and will I be able to have Super User access for WiFi tethering right after rooting?
[Droid Eris Android Development] 8on3s:
If you run su on stock the same apps will work custom rom or not

There isn't a need for a custom rom. Hope that helps.

So to answer yes it will work fine as long as it runs on 2.1.
[Droid Eris Android Development] semmtexx:
Hope this is not a dumb question but here goes: My wife has a stock no-rooted Eris with what I am assuming is the latest and up to date Verizon 2.1 OTA. Will this root her Eris? I see on the first page that it says it will root a stock 2.1, but I just wanted to clarify before I go ahead and do hers. Thanks a bunch!
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mrenoux:
I am a noob.

I feel really stupid after all the posts about how easy this is but I am following the directions and nothing is changing after the reboot. Please help, sorry for the trouble.
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
You won't see any real changes unless you flash a new rom. Check your app list, if you see superuser in there, then it worked.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mrenoux:
Ok, I followed the directions provided and before I saw you responded I dl'ed KaosFroyo V38 and chose it instead of clicking the provided .zip I clicked it.

Now I think I'm in really bad shape because it wont get off the android boot screen that I think was on my G1(?)

I'm a little worried lol...I'm such a moron.
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
I don't think that's your problem, after I got my replacement Eris, I did it that way. Some people in the KaosFroyo thread have experienced the same issue with v38. Make sure you do the factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache a few times. I would also suggest going with v35-1 or v36.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Mrenoux:
Ok, got it working doing what you said.

I really appreciate your help!
[Droid Eris Android Development] TariqX2:
Hey guys sorry to be a been and all but I was wondering something

I press the disclaimer "I agree , root me "

So when they say reboot are they directing me to turn off the phone and turn it back on

Or does this mean press power and volume up

Cuz I think I'm missing a step

Because everytime I flash root me zip

It still says I have release keys in in my build number so i know for sure I'm on leak

Can anyone help and notify me if I'm missing a step because

The FAQ guide said 2.1 leak can be rooted this way

So can anyone help me and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Please and thanks guys !!!
[Droid Eris Android Development] demmo86rt:
See my post one page back.
[Droid Eris Android Development] TariqX2:
Thanks for the tip

i already knew about the superuser thing

but im asking for what step im messing up on

and i know its rooted if you have super user in your build number thanks tho man.

But could anyone tell me exactly how im messing up but thanks for the input bro.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sovereignblood:
I think you're OK... The rootme.zip is not a rom, so it shouldn't change your build number (i don't think). Once you have the recovery image and a rooted device (it sounds like you already do), try installing another rom. Any of the ones on this site should work. If they install fine, then your set.

Or, you could try running a root only app, like wireless tether. If it's granted su permissions, you do have root and haven't missed anything.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Strlacky:
Help me

I really have a problem here.... Tried this high and instead of running the rootme.zip i ran the kaosfroyo and now im stuck at a black screeen wtih ANDROID written across it... Is my phone bricked? if so is there anything i can do like a factory reset? Please help
[Droid Eris Android Development] rokenford:
How long did you wait for it to finish? first boot of a ROM takes a goodly while. Did you wipe data and dalvik before rebooting?
