One click root install help!

So I tried the Eris One Click Root Install app and whenever I try it, I can't get to the recovery menu:

When doing this, I have to do Vol DOWN and Power. Then I press up to get into recovery and it goes to a screen with a skateboarding android then it goes to a picture of the eris with a red triangle and exclaimation mark. 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!

Needing any suggestions...

Not quite sure where to throw this out at, but the dev's would have the best knowledge to try and help me here. so I post it in this section.

I am up a creek with my Eris right now. The Touchscreen has gone kaput. I can not get any way to unlock the lockscreen. I have tried everything inluding battery pulls and clearing storage. Here is where it went south for me. I was getting a little response from it with MacRom and Shed's rom, but I decided to try and revert to stock using the PB100Img??? Whatever that file is, can't remember offhand. Now, I have no way of getting back into a recovery mode to try and flash a new rom to see if it unlocks the touchscreen. I am showing S-Off, and 1.49.2000. So that is showing I still have root capability. I hit into recovery and get exclamation screen. I can not get the usb to mount without getting past the lockscreen, so ADB will not work.

Any thoughts of another way to load a recovery into the phone through SD card to try some other roms and hope that it will let me in to it to at least try messing with it.

I am now back on an old enV2 and it is quite depressing.. :(
[Droid Eris Android Development] sunilromy:
Hey sumeet, which service provider you are using? pm me.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Because you have the S-OFF bootloader, you can use fastboot to "soft boot" a recovery:

fastboot boot recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

and then flash a ROM straight away, but it would be better to install a custom recovery, and then flash a ROM.

You certainly could also just use fastboot to directly flash the recovery:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

Note that fastboot allows you to flash total garbage to your phone, so you really ought to verify the MD5 signature of the recovery .img file.

But note this: lack of touchscreen response is very likely a hardware problem, not a ROM issue. The touchscreen ("digitizer") can be (do-it-yourself) replaced for about 35 bucks.

[Droid Eris Android Development] eghill1125:
Strange... :confused:

I left my Eris sitting in the kitchen for about a week with the battery pulled from it and used an old EnV2 that I activated. I looked for any and all answers to Touch Panel Fail on all phones and they all said phone done... Ugh.

Decided to throw in the battery last night and it booted up like it usually does and I expected to have no touch screen, but the touch screen worked. Rebooted into recovery and looked and touch screen showed Melfas whatever and not Fail. Ran it all night last night just like it used to be. Activated it again through Verizon. Woke up this morning with unresponsive touch screen. Looked in recovery. Touch screen Fail. left sit for an hour. Touch screen back to melfas?? and working. :confused:

I have only to get to November and then I can upgrade at that point. So I didn't actually do anything to the phone to get it to start working again, but obviously the stabilizer must be going. Wish I could grab one of the Incredible 2 phones at a Walmart or something now since they are free with a renewel, but it probably wouldn't let me til November.

Sorry for long post, just thought anyone who has Touch Screen Fail might be interested in knowing that mine came back after sitting on it's own. Maybe wet and dried??? Don't know.
[Droid Eris Android Development] scary alien:
bftb0, just to make sure, shouldn't the command be?:

fastboot flash [COLOR="Blue"][B]recovery[/B][/COLOR] recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

Unless I'm missing something...? (which is likely since you very rarely make a boo-boo ;)).

Cheers!
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Yes it should. My bad; I will correct my post.
[Droid Eris Android Development] workshed:
A user msg'd me, thought I'd post this in here, maybe it will be useful...
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
FYI,

A friend gave me ($0) an Eris that has a wonky touchscreen; when cold it works correctly everywhere but within about 1 sq. inch in the lower left-hand corner (above the Home softkey). The digitizer glass has a scratch in the same vicinity; I'm hoping a digitizer replacement will bring the phone back to 100%.

While I am waiting for parts to arrive (digitizers are now down to about $20), I've fooled around with the phone a little bit - including using the GB activity com.android.development.PointerLocation (Dev tools -> Pointer location) under different conditions.

When that "Pointer location" diagnostic app is used, it shows an uncertainty circle as it draws a continuous line as you drag your finger around. When the phone is warm (I stream music over WiFi and lock the screen on w/ the GPS Status app to calibrate the battery from 100% - 5% and back), the touch screen behaves much, much worse than if the handset is cold.

So, it could be something like that - the digitizer exhibits a temperature sensitivity that makes it work/not work.

[HD Mini General] mOrrI:
Hello there,

I would love to hear some feedback on this mobile phone...

I'm asking this because I would like to offer a mobile phone to my wife.

This seems like a nice phone with a decent life expectancy, and since its mini women like it!

But I wanted to know if the phone is a good buy basically?
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
I love the phone! And sure since I started cooking for it :p

Some good points on the phone

- Price

- Size

- Price/Quality is very good

- Speed is quite nice

- Capacitive screen!

- Camera

Some minus points:

- Screen can be little to browse the web sometimes

- Processor must've been more :)

- Typing is sometimes difficult in portrait mode

- Speaker

In general: a best buy!
[HD Mini General] mOrrI:
Hum.. well she will probably be using the phone to...

phone, sms... (duh)

agenda, notes, tasks...

and then of course the pictures, music...

btw what is the average price of this phone now a days?
[HD Mini General] _Madmatt:
I paid 330 EUR. The agenda, tasks, contacts etc are nice. They are nicely built in in Manilla. Audio and video playback is beautiful (if you use ear-phones)

If you still have questions just ask :)
[HD Mini General] alex2g:
Hi there,

The only downside to the HD Mini is that it is runs an outdated operating system. Windows phone 7 is due to come out some time in the near future and right now, Android kills Widows Mobile. So if your wife is going to use the phone for sms, agenda and the rest (i.e basic phone use), it should be fine.

If she wants the hundreds of applications available and wants to experience her phone to its limits I would recommend the Samsung Galaxy S. I was planning to get that phone, however my brother got it first and you know how siblings are.. We cant copy each other... The Galaxy S is a real nice phone, sure there are a few bugs and sure you may need to do some speed tweaks (all found on the forum) but I believe that this phone is greater than the HD mini.

In the end it is up to you. If you want to get her a phone that isn't too expensive, small and looks nice, go for this phone. If you are willing to pay a little more for the features, AMOLED screen and the operating system, go for the Galaxy S.

Hope this helps.
[HD Mini General] mOrrI:
Galaxy S runs android?

if so to get that the htc desire is better no?
[HD Mini General] Qtek8020User:
Thats your personal opinion.

Actually there are people like me, who's hangin on to WM with our claws. Because we get lots of options, great hackability, copy/paste, multitasking, bla bla bla..

WTF!? According to what benchmark? Your personal opinion? IMO WM kick's yeverything else's arse. See above.
[HD Mini General] alex2g:
Yes according to my personal opinion. That's what the topic is, so don't flame me for posting my PERSONAL thoughts on the HD mini...
[HD Mini General] mkstevo:
I really like my HD Mini. I use it for SMS, Phone, Web and Email (mostly in that order).

I've sometimes wished I'd gone for an Android model, but I'd say the HD Mini beats all other handsets hands down.

Why? It has excellent battery life, an excellent screen, small and compact, not forgetting built in GPS which allows for hand held navigation (I use Ndrive). I also happen to think it looks great too.

All in, I'd give it 9 out of 10. It only loses marks for being Windows Mobile 6.5 (which is a little clunky, though very well hidden by Sense), not being able to mark emails as read from the Sense email reader (why?) and being a slightly odd screen size (HVGA) which means some programs may refuse to run, or look squashed. Though the screen being a smaller size, makes it smaller...Which I like...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
So I have been using my phones as an alarm clock for many many years now. I do it the same way every night. I go into the alarms and change the time and press save. BUT with my 2.2 update, instead of saving for the next day, it saves the alarm as that time but a week away. Its like the day counter doesn't move. I almost missed class this morning because I forgot to move the day I needed the alarm for so I woke up to no alarm 10 minutes before class and seeing my alarm set for next Tuesday.

Anyway...am I missing something?? Or is this a but that others have noticed. It is hard to remember to set the day when I have never had to do this before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinph5:
Same with me, seems the clock got messed up with 2.2. The day doesn't change when I choose the alarm. Also, it's happened before where I have the right day (it says alarm will go off in 8hrs etc.) but when I wake up the alarm is still set, but now for 7 days from now... It is very annoying, and I can't rely on it now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
So when you created the alarm, did you set the alarm repeat to be daily? Just a thought otherwise the default is a one-time event and when you resave it will bump a week.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
i dont want it as a daily alarm...if i go in and set the alarm time, and press save, it should update the day also. It has been that way for years of setting alarms on many different phones, and now that i updated to 2.2 it doesn't update the day. Why would i want to set an alarm for a week away? haha
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
You don't make it active on the days you don't want it. A one-time event sees that the time is past and makes it a week later. Don't ask me, complain to the coder. lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
and yes...these are the exact problems i have, except mine has gone off the days i set the day corerctly, it has yet to NOT go off if i set the day correctly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
a one time alarm on 2.1 worked perfect and exactly as expected. I shouldn't have to make a new one-time alarm OR change the day OR set it as a daily. I wake up at different times almost everyday. No offense, but i don't need instructions on how to set up my alarm! ;)

i know how it works and how it should work, i'm asking if anyone else is having the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
I dont have this problem.

I do have a related problem. Its called a job. And I use my phone as my alarm to wake up every weekday morning at the same time. my alarm works great. Since I do not use it for a one-time alarm, it must have something to do with that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
cool man :cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinph5:
Here's a description of the change:

On 2.1, clicking on a past "one time alarm" would change the day automatically to the following day, so the alarm worked for the morning you activated it on.

On 2.2, clicking on a past "one time alarm" won't change the day automatically to the following day, so the alarms' day must be set manually for the next morning.

Anyways, does someone have the 2.1 clock apk that they can upload here that we could try, and see if that's the problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
This does not seem to be an across the board issue. Im one that does not have the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
I flashed back to JH7 today. Posted for your amusement!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justinph5:
Ehh, the 2.1 Clock doesn't work with 2.2 from just replacing it, oh well... Maybe they'll fix it with the final build.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Figured as much, system apps have to be different. Worth a try!

Hey everyone, I need some serious help with my phone!

I have launcherPro, but today I started my phone and suddenly I get this error saying that LauncherPro has been unexpectably terminated and that android.process.acore stopped working. I don't know what to do, because it just keeps popping up and I can't do anything with the phone.

I also don't have the 3 keys combo.. I tried to reboot, take out batery, take out SD/SIM card, please I don'T know what to do!

Is there anything I can maybe deleted while my phone is connected to PC? Also, I have USB debugging off atm and I cannot go to menu so I can't use ADB to boot to recovery

Any help is appreciated.:(

P.S. Since I didn't do any flashing or anything out of the ordinary, I didn't use the 3 button combo fix..
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
i had the same problem

just hit the 3 button Recovery Mode

then select wipe data

reboot

there's always the heat trick for the non 3 buttons capable

if all else fail go back to the store and have them exchange the phone
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] danmullen:
I had this problem on my old Hero and only a wipe solved it. Incidentally, it wasn't a LauncherPro issue, more a general Android problem.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jodue:
if you had adbd (debug mode) running you can start any program (e.g. twlauncher) and therefore easily recover your phone. otherwise i would return the phone ...
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] jodeltje:
I would say, get yourself a hairdryer... Heat the phone up untill it's scary hot... And then try the 3button combo.

If that fails you should rerurn it, as this wasn't your fault at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
First of all, I think I have the hinge issue. It is kind of wiggly and the screen comes all the way down by itself when I rotate the phone.

Secondly, my data is going whack. Downloading Android market apps will stall half way through as if they are being throttled, even if I haven't moved the phone. Could this be because this is the first time I have a data plan and T-Mobile's towers haven't recognized the phone yet? Also, even in areas where the H symbol is displayed, the Android market often refuses to work.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arxe41:
Take your phone to tmo and request one that isn't malfunctioning. It seems pretty hit or miss, but some phones don't have that problem - so I think you can make the case that you got a bad one.

the download prob is interesting. Does it do the same over wifi? I wouldn't worry about the towers having issues, it might be your phone or signal strength. Do webpages load correctly or stop halfway through too?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Snuggl3s:
I dnt think its ur plan with Tmo cause even though its ur first data plan the max time it takes to take full effect now is 2 hours. So if uve posted this within those two hours than yes if not then its gotta be ur phone. Id say just exchange it.

fRom Snugs G2 ^.^
[G2 and Desire Z General] joebobjoe:
Okay. Thanks for the replies guys. I went and exchanged the phone anyway because of a build quality issue. Seem to be getting decent reception now.

I want this phone since it's a great compromise between size, speed, battery life and having a QWERTY. Only problem is until I can put on a custom rom and hav ethe phone rooted I won't get the phone. MotoBLUR was so slow and laggy on the phone at the store that it made the entire experience with the phone really suck. I'm sure if something lighter was put on there it would be faster.
[Flipside General] marvin02:
I have had a Flipside for about 24 hours. It's a nice solid phone but obviously is not a top of the line entry into the Android world.

I was running a Backflip and see the Flipside as an improvement, mostly in terms of speed.

The Flipside has a nice solid feel to it and the keyboard is above average. Motorola included nuance software to handle the voice dialing and it really works well. Vlingo also comes pre-installed. They provide tools on the phone to connect to your PC using wireless and manage some aspects of the phone using your web browser as an interface (Motorola Phone Portal).

As I said, only 24 hours with the phone so I am sure I haven't noticed the warts yet. It is a very solid mid-range phone.
