Official Eris RUU

Just in case you need it, here it is.
http://www.pcdphones.com/downloads/Eris MR1.zip

This is the Dec 11th update?

Yes but it is the full ruu not just the update if you use this you will loose all of you data and settings.

This may be a work around for those experiencing problems since the update.

this works great for the phone os issues caused by the update. but there are apps in the market that cause your phone to freak out. it's not the eris's fault or the apps fault. when upgrades happen like the way htc did this one it bound to cause some apps to freak out cause of the update. htc has no obligaton to support these apps either that's on the app creator to fix htc is only fixing it's own issues.
this is the reason why htc doe not like quick patches to thier phones. if you look at the history of the dream/G1 this is the first quick patch other than 1.30. because 1.29 allowed root level commands in the contacts area but that was to fix that problem not to fix customer complaints. i just hope htc goes back to the we'll get you a patch when we get you a patch mentality. cause it seems less problematic that way.
just my feelings

Thanks! I did the manual update using RUU as soon as it came out and actually have been pretty lucky...None of the freezing up etc issues that people are having.

Anyone have an updated link?

I've got the EXE if you have something/somewhere I can upload it to?

You could use megaupload? Or try uploading it to this site aka xda?
If I were to just install the 2.1 leak wouldn't that do basically the same thing? Or is this easier?

The RUU in this thread was for MR1, which is still Android 1.5. I think you're looking for the newer RUU: http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Des...WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe

Ok so if I download that what do I do with it to unroot?

Attach your phone to your computer with the USB cable, and run the RUU program in Windows. It will wipe all data from your phone and return it to the stock 2.1 software, complete with the 1.49 S-ON bootloader, the default recovery image, and no root.
If you want to re-root from there, you'll have to use one of the new root methods, since your phone will be identical to the phones that Verizon is currently shipping out (with Android 2.1), not the original Android 1.5 version of the software.

Awesome, thanks a ton.

i am trying to use this to unroot my phone so i can send in for a replacement and it goes through all the checks and verifications. it rebbots to the bootloader then while updating signiture i get error 140 bootloader version error saying the rom update utility cannot update your android phone please get the correct rom update utility and try again?? if this doesnt work is there another easy way to unroot?

If you get a version error, you need to first run jcase's "Flash any RUU" hack.**
Note that (strictly speaking) jcase should have entitled his post "Flash any PB00IMG.zip ROM" because of another small complication: some ROMs do not have a compatible version of the "reboot" command (the RUU utility first uses the reboot command to put the phone into oem-78/RUU mode). If you insist on using the RUU utility, you can overcome this minor problem by first flashing a compatible ROM, such as PlainJane.
But, it is just as easy to flash the Leak-V3 PB00IMG.zip ROM, which produces the identical result as the "Official" RUU.
Note also that if you have used the RUU utility, them you already have USB drivers installed on your PC, and so getting adb running on the PC does not require setting up the full-blown SDK (you don't need Eclipse set up) : just download the SDK, unzip it, and you are ready to rumble.
To reiterate: if you get a version error, you need to run jcase's "Flash any RUU" hack first; after that, you can either run the HBOOT+Leak-V3 PB00IMG.zip install, or the RUU. The PB00IMG.zip method has no dependencies, and is somewhat easier.

This is the exe that I used to restore my Eris from Kaos Froyo to Stock 2.1. All I did was run the exe file and follow simple prompts. It took about 10-15 mins and the Eris was ready to return to VZW.
Very nice work, Thank you Devs!!!

Does flashing RUU replace the kernel and/or radio? Just wondering

I'm pretty sure it replaces both. That's how people discover new kernel and radio versions.

If you ran the 2.1 ruu.exe then follow this link to restore everything except your hboot.
If you did not run the 2.1 ruu.exe then you can still run the 1.56 ruu successfully. Fresh is sharing it here.

I had installed the 2.1 ruu.exe test build and was able to root the phone fine and install the amon ra 1.6.2 bootloader. You do have to manually push flash_image to your phone to do this, but otherwise this root guide (but used the 1.6.2 recovery) works fine.
If you need flash_image to root your 2.1 ruu.exe build I am attaching it with a .zip suffix (it is not a zip) Download it here then push it to your phone using the commands below then follow the root guide I linked.
Code:
adb remount
adb push flash_image.zip /system/bin/flash_image

Im gonna level with you im such a noob is there any way or a video that can break this down, also i heard it doesnt really bring it back to full factory settings, is it true? and if so is the anything that i can do to be able bring it back to full factory settings

Unroot Cyanogenmod6

Itried different way by the forum to unroot but seem doesnt work
- I wiped data and davin then flash the PC36IMG for 147.651.1 - Nothing
- Cyanogen6 doesnt have HTC Sync which i cant use the RUU STOCK.exe , i tried alone and giveme errors 171 and 140
- I followed step by step by this forum (Bottom) http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=123714 and i cant go after step 5L because show # (rooted) and not $(not rooted), I think that why
Please any suggestion to get back in stock in a easy way. I need bring back to sprint tomorow or after for exchange

Flash a Sense enabled ROM like Fresh then run the RUU.

What you mean flash a sense?, Sorry for the Noob question.
Got a xda link to follow?

Some ROMs include Sense in them...that is HTC's overlay (launcher). Some ROMs don't. CM's does not have Sense in it.
So...if you are still rooted...flash Fresh's ROM since the other poster says it includes Sense. Then go from there.
(I am only interpreting and you'll need to go find Fresh in the dev section.)

How do I install the factory software?

I have flashed my phone over and over trying to get Puzzle Rom to work properly. Finally got it all working and upto now really happy with it although......
I would like to be able to flash it with the stock rom so that when Froyo comes out I can let it update to that. I would also like to have the 3 network software back on it as I liked being able to have live messenger etc and my3 so that I can check my usage.
I downloaded the rom from shipped roms but it is a RUU file and I don't know how to put it on, can anyone help??

Just plug your phone into your computer and run the RUU.exe on your computer.

Sorry, I presumed you had already created a goldcard. See this for all the instructions on creating a goldcard (do this before flashing) and how to flash:

A goldcard makes it so that you don't get that error.

Back to shipped rom not that easy...

Everywhere in this wonderful forum I read that it is very easy to go back to a shipped rom. Just download it, click the exe-file and follow instructions.
BUT: I unrooted my WF and flashed the Puzzlerom (very good rom, by the way). Now when I try to install original rom, it says that I've got the wrong bootloader on my device. The one on my device seems to be newer than the one the shipped rom expects before install. So the RUU halts and no flashing.
I think we have to have this sorted out. I think many people will want to try the new official Froyo for Wildfire, which will be out soon, we all hope. So you have to go back to original rom, don't we?
Anyone who knows how to handle this?

That's definitely something i would love to know.
Thanks.
Btw, any chances you might know how to go back to original recovery rom? Now I got clockworkmod done in by unrevoked3. Not sure if there is one thou as I only come to know the existence of recovery portion after unrevoked.
Just asking for knowledge. Thanks.
