Just looking for a list (if any) of Devs who are actively (or passively) working on Rooting Eris with the 1.49 bootloader.
jvward has a wave thread here:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=703219
where he is diligently tracking any information regarding the root status of Eris.
As a part of this thread, we wanted to gather information on who is working on the root and donation links (where possible).
Let's not let this thread get ugly.
if there is already a thread why are you posting another thread?

No. not too much. I watch the exploit sites but noting has shown up and I am not digging through the source in hopes of finding a bug. Mostly because i have rooted my phone and am am not that altruistic.
One thing to keep in mind is that the eris was never rooted in the true sense of the word. the Devs did nothing technical to root the phone. A pre-rooted leak was obtained. HTC has this thing locked down very well.

There are threads on Root Status. For all intents and purposes they are dead except for a trickle of despondent users looking for answers.
There is no thread asking for a list of Devs working on root.
If this thread irritates you, don't look at it. Don't go looking for a fight; it's not productive.

Yeah, this is the biggest problem in my estimation. No real root was explored which leaves a good portion of Eris users swinging in the breeze.
I was happily rooted until I cracked the screen on my phone. My replacement came flashed with 2.1 and a shiny new 1.49.0000 S=ON bootloader. As a result I am twisting in the wind waiting for a root that will never happen because I fear no one worth their weight in gold is working on it.
I guess the only hope is that if Froyo OTA (if it is ever released for the Eris) will require a new bootloader and push the Dev community into action. One can dream, or go back to my iPhone *shudder*

HTC has already said they're only bringing phones released in 2010 up to 2.2, so it's fair to assume we're SOL. FWIW, my iPad was jailbroken within 20 minutes of me owning it, while my Eris is woefully unmodifiable.
Mostly you wont find out who is working on rooting the 1.49 bootloader simply because the Devs who might be doing so dont want to be bothered daily/hourly with questions about it. Thats why alot of the threads about it have died down, no one was answering them.

I'm sure i will take heat but this is bullsh*it. Not the keeping quit because they don't want to be bugged but to think there is a team of people working on it and not posting their results in a bit naive. So far we have had "confirmation" a race condition exists when NOBODY ever got any (non root) version of the leak to get abd running in recovery. we have zinfabs bug that nobody has found a way to exploit and that was over a month ago.
The last very concerted effort ended up in the Tattoo being rooted and was very public throughout the whole process.
Please... Someone prove me wrong.
If you are sitting here thinking that root is just around the corner i fear you may be wasting your time. I am sure once a development occurs it will be plastered all over the forum.
I hope this didn't offend too many people and it in no way was meant to diminish the contributions of all the devs who donate their time energy an resources to the Eris.
Regards
Personally, I don't think anyone is actively working on rooting the Eris. In the case of the race condition that the Incredible had, it prompted some activity. Or, the issue that zifnab posted about 1-2 months ago, that got some people poking again.
I think the best hope is for someone at HTC to leak a rooted ROM again.
Seems to me like my next phone is going to be a Motoral Droid something because these Droid Verizon HTC phones are getting no action. Just saying, HTC was like no way in hell that anyone will be able to tinker with our phones on Verizon lol

Since the 2.1 Leak thread is no longer sticky.....
Can we get a sticky 'status thread' for those of us stuck with the 2.1 leak so we know what is, if anything, going on or whether the devs have abandoned us?
I'd much prefer not to go haggle with the verizon wireless store, but I will if I have to. As it stands, the lack of information on this topic leaves me not sure what to do. A little input is all I ask.
I agree. Some sort of status would be nice.
there wont be any updates on the status. it will be a new thread that will all of a sudden come out and say "we have root / downgrade / whatever for those on 2.1 leak" instead of a posting in an existing thread.
so let me repeat that THERE IS NO ROOT FOR 2.1 LEAK YET.
any updates will be posted in a new thread!
you will find out when it has happened....it will be one the of the top threads.
I appreciate the response.
Can you at least tell me if someone is in fact working on it or is it just something that a dev 'may' stumble on at some point?
2.1 leak
I was just on the IRC chat yesterday and they were working on this very thing. Finding a rooted ROM was a little serendipitous and that may leave some of the 2.1 leakers feeling a little left out. Though I do not speak for any of the devs I do know that they plan on addressing this issue espcially because 2.1 official update will be out...eventually. This means that their current method of obtaining root would be obsolete. If you have another method of downgrading your phone then I would suggest using it if you are impatient like me.
So you should learn to do this thing called search.... there was a post about this very subject a day or two ago.
We, the devs, are currently working on some methods for downgrading 2.1 leaked to either 1.5 or the rooted 2.1.
We don't want a new thread about it because we are at this point just poking and prodding around on the phones hoping to find something. Most ideas we have are tried within an hour and don't work, so no need to constantly post about them.
Just please rest assured that on the irc server we are working hard to get 2.1 leak rooted or downgraded. Right now there are still a couple of us devs with the 2.1 leak so it is in our interest to get this thing worked out.
I didn't particularly want a new thread about this to keep track of either. That's why a stickied thread, maybe even locked until someone has an update, was a good idea I thought. One place, top of the list, that all us 2.1 leak users can subscribe too and know when progress is made.
What was so wrong about wanting that instead of watching the board every day, waiting for news, skimming all the titles, or searching each week to see if anything has change?
Gotta agree..
Even if it's just a place to vent, I think us early adopters of the leak deserve a place to huddle up and wonder out loud whether anyone is working on the issue or if we're just stuck..
Nobody has claimed yet to have been force at gunpoint to upgrade. We're here by our own volition..
I will agree with jcase from another thread that we can't whine much unless we're willing to help out, though.. irc.wastate.net was it?
Personally, I don't think its very beneficial for anyone to have a thread where its nothing but "ranting". There are better things to spend time looking at and/or talking about.
Rest assured that when/if a way to downgrade arises, you'll know within hours just like the root, just like the leak.
Not sure why this hasn't been done yet but I just politely explained to Verizon that my phone was pushed with the 2.1 update and that it breaks Facebook contact sync and kills the battery life and I'd to downgrade, wait for them to call HTC and say that's not possible and ask for an exchange. Done.
That actually works?

All us dev's have given up and bought the n1, switching to tmobile. Everyone of us, no more working on the leaked 2.1 phones we have.

EDIT: I'm thinking jcase might have been trying to use sarcasm in a forum, which isn't very detectable.
well when i went into the store yesterday the tech told me that 2.1 was up to date and the 2.1 official was pushed out by htc about a week or two ago? huh? makes you wonder what they are smokin! ill just go to another store and just be mean to em about it and tell em that 2.1 is not out and i demand a new phone...
Well, I hate to say this but I have given up waiting for root as an early leak user. I feel I have the right to post this due to 1, helping wherever I could, 2, contacting paul to even get the ball rolling after jcase mentioned him 3, offered donation for a solution etc...
I love my eris but see all the neat things I am missing out on. When the evo comes out, I will be jumping from pageplus to sprint... i am sure that will be rooted and if not... im still better off.
Thank you to all who have tried their best.. I think this is one instance where the phone beat us. I am annoyed that we do not have root as it allows us to better use our own phone.
anyway, best of luck to all...
Do not feed the troll...
seriously?? I have more posts than you and I am far from that... your comment is stupid.

I dont blame you homie.. If I had not managed to get a second eris after I jumped on the leakv1, I would have gone nuts watching all the badass ROMS and hacks get released and have no way to use them.
Ok everyone can quit complaining about the 2.1 update! I just checked Verizon ERis Software Upgrade page and its announced that there is an update coming soon! I know theres no date but at least it is now finally up on their site. If you dont belive me check it out your self & for those who doubted it would ever come this just shows that paicence is a virtue.
support.vzw.com/information/droid_eris_upgrade
Check out both pdf files. The Benifits of Software link states all the updates for 2.1. Enough said?
Good riddance.

suck it... what have you contributed?
Just short out the battery connection on the back of the phone with a small piece of aluminum foil, take it in to Verizon, explain how your phone just turned off and won't turn on and voila! You get a new phone the next day running stock 1.5, ready to be ROOTED!
That's what I did after installing the 2.1 leak and realized I couldn't get root. Let me tell you, my rooted Eris running Evil Eris v2.0 with the overclocked processor is far greater than my friends Moto Droid. I hope you make the right decision.
P.S. Don't be a bully.
There are always risks involved when upgrading a device, I learned that with the PSP and now other people are learning it with their Eris. Crying about it (in the wrong forum no less) is doing nothing to help.
A root will likely eventually be found, patience is the key. As soon as you just can't stand it anymore and upgrade/change device/etc you've potentially lost something forever.
One thing is for sure; I find it insulting that people feel they have a right to complain about being on leak, nobody held you down and forced you to flash anything.

It's not overclocked yet, it definitely doesnt do anything at the moment. And as far as shorting it out, I took mine into verizon complaining about the speakers all cutting out glitch and they didnt even look at the phone and swapped me out a new one in 10 minutes. It's not that hard really, just find someone in the store who looks like an idiot. All the smart people are in the back anyway.
Or You can not be a cheapskate and just Buy a new one..
or should I get a MOTO Droid or incredible but I still have my Eris with

Not everyone has lots of money and buying a new eris outright is about 500 or so, used on ebay they go for over 300. speaking for myself I know I'd rather have the 3-500 to spend on bills and things then buying a new phone.
Even though I am kicking myself for not waiting a bit longer, I don't regret upgrading to any of the leaks. It gave me 2.1 months before everyone else. A little more patience never hurt anyone.

Seconded. But this thread is useless. If you're tired of waiting on 2.1 leak root then get a new phone, try and get a replacement or just sit there and use the phone like it was meant to be. There's nothing wrong with 2.1 v3 in my opinion. Telling everyone you're leaving because of it is just asking to be trolled/flamed. I suggest a mod closes this thread or something.

Agree, 2.1 is so much better than 1.5. Plus, if you want to play with your phone and "customize it" a little there are home replacements in the market you can try. Helixlauncher is really good, and I just found one yesterday on android forums, real nice. It's called Zeam, http://www.mediafire.com/?jtzjyoklenk
Little to no lag and dialer is lightning fast.
So while you might not be rooted, it's nobody's fault that root hasn't been found yet or that you (op) flashed the leak. I want root too, but have the patience to wait for it to be found. There are some of the best devs on here working on it, only a matter of time.
~ happy 2.1 v3 leak user
my point wasnt i was unhappy with anyone here. I love 2.1v3 and yes, its leaps above 1.5
Just annoyed at what I am missing. I do not want this topic to be considered trollish..
This is the word on the 4G forum here on XDA! Hope this soon leads to the incredible root but for now ill just be jealous.

Lol not like it would hurt, that **** already full of spam and beggers haha
it was somthing in the bootloader that found that the incredible does not have. But rest assured that its bieng worked on and im sure we will have root.
nah, it wasn't the bootloader
looks to me like he flashed a leaked image based on where he starts the video and seeing how he doesnt show us the bootloader or anything involving recovery/fastboot. My guess is that since this was an evo prerelease is that someone at htc with the shipping rom weasled a su apk in there while also having the test keys to sign. I never see anyone talking on irc and i assume we are months away from root.
edit: after looking on the website it seems as if they have done deeper work than i assumed. I believe there may be similarities in what they did and what we need. He mentions that he used his linux background and knowldge of hacking bootloaders. maybe something is in store for us unlucky incredible users
nope it has been stated that it will not work for us. And it looks like my bootloader theroy is wrong..... mmmmm i wonder what it could be.
are you judging by this little footnote? "At this time, we believe that this specific exploit cannot be applied to Incredible." - taken from grack.com . If they did anything to the bootloader i would assume an exploit can be derrived from this method. we dont need to use their entire method. From what i hear their bootloader is a higher version than ours which should make it more difficult to crack. If they ever release how they did it Im sure we can find some hope to help us.

Knowledge is power and not sure what was up your rear when posting but any bit of information on semi similar phones never hurt anyone. Seeing how this isn't a post about an accessory app theme maybe could go into general but this is more of developmental news then general.
Well, I at least feel better knowing others are going through the same "pain" I am faced with. I'll donate my time and resources (I still don't have the Incredible thx to it being sold out everywhere... maybe I will try the Best Buy closest to me... although they kind of stink, they don't even carry any Apple computers while most ever other BB does) to get this fix0rz for the peeple!

Nothing to do with test keys, no leaked images. There is no way to modify it to the incredible.
lol, I knew it was going to be rooted before, but I had some hopes it could have been used to help with the root for the Incredible. Oh well, such is life. I'm sure there are some Verizon Android developers that are still working on this....All the give me root and where's the root and other I want root spamming is not going to help with anything other than the continuous spamming of this section.
I really hate this waiting for the Unlockers/Root for any phone as it's nothing but spamming.
Just be patient and it will come. Then it's time for you to show your gratification to the developers for their hardwork that I'm sure most do in their spare time and not as their source of income...

Hi All,
I have been watching 4-5 Different threads on Here and I have finally gotten tired of random banter and endless reading of repeated non-working or just non-technical responses. So I made a google Wave to try to consolidate our efforts and finally root this thing The wave will focus on overcoming the 1.49 Hboot with S-On and not specifically leak or OTA. If we don't get this solved its going to eventually kill our dev community
I make a personal promise that I will comb through the Wave document every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and merge all useful information into the main post and purge all non essential information so it remains consolidated and on point.
It will include:
General Root Tools:
Known Root Methods & If they have been tested on the Eris:
And More stuff I haven't figured out yet:
I will try to gather as much info as I can find about these things but please go post what you know on the wave to help out
Here is a link to the Public [Droid Eris - OTA & Leak 1.49 hboot Root Discussion] Wave:
https://wave.google.com/wave/invite...3138d&wsig=ABk8uhQbSaBHvVNCEDJwkF95o5d39W_HyA
P.S. I am just try to help get a root going so it would be cool if no one flamed me
Good effort man. I'd like to see this happen before I get a new phone.
strong words..but with no end result really, besides creating an outside place to go for more confusion and so on, instead of actually keeping it at "home base".
Going forward and to be quite honest imo..rooting the leak or working on the known exploits or even going forward the h-boot and not reaching an end result, will not "kill the community". Yea it may in fact dwindle to a certain extent, but certainly not "kill it", as u mentioned.
Now with applying what you have created, the only thing i see happening is the cease and desist of the "random banter" here, and moved there.
If i may, a suggestion i have thrown out there numerous times, is actually hitting up the mods and seeing if a subforum with all threads related be created and moved there, yet still being on xda, and still not needing an external link.

Two quick things.
1.) I am sorry I am not the best writer I was trying to work on it at work when ever I had a moment or two but I should of caught those errors.
2.) Ok, so everyone was warned about the leak. I know I used the leak personally. I was annoyed with no root, but only at my self. Then I had some general issues with the phone and I got a replacement, and at that time I made sure I rooted my android 1.5 replacement! And for a few months I had rom fun! Then from either possibly screwing around with my phone or just random electronic breakage it died. At this point Verizon is only giving replacements out with Android 2.1 and maybe some people are getting lucky but most are coming with 1.49 S-on bootloader. Now I know SoCalSpecialist you have like 3 Erises (this personally confuses me, owning 3 of the exact same model phone, but what ever makes your happy is cool with me) but I only have one. As of now I have no way to root it, and until its rooted coming to this board daily to check it makes me sad lol (I still come tho lol). More and more people that were active members in this community will be in the same boat as me and just have to sit by and become passive observers.
Look if no one wants to use the wave its cool. I am going to continue trying to arrange the information that community members have discovered and post it logically, as opposed to being randomly lodged in a number of different threads over hundreds of posts. And I do this only with the hopes that some Dev, takes a sec to look at it one day and reads it and something sets a light-bulb off for them, and bam! 1.49 S-on Rooted!
PS. One note I meant what I said about Wednesday, Friday, and Monday updates to the wave. all spelling/grammer errors will be fixed tomorrow night + additional info. I would do it now but I need to be to work in 5 hours and I am beat
honestly..best of luck.
getting the Eris community on the same boat has been an issue for all of us DEV's hence why we are slowly dwindling..
as far as the grammer and all that other jazz..who cares dude..as long as we get the jist, thats all that matters!
my with 3 devices, one was a tester i got from CNET, one belongs to my wife and the 3rd has the original leak that was never rooted.

I think either a wiki or google wave will do wonders for this... Having a central repository, editable by anyone, will foster information sharing and development.
Hi All,
As promised its been updated. I wish I could post more tonight but a family member had a mini stroke so I need to go out
More updates Friday.
Hey all,
Lots of new Info up on the wave.
Hope this helps out.
Whats the diff between 1.49 S-On and S-Off? Mine is 1.49 S-Off.

S-OFF is the rooted hboot, S-ON is the one we need to get around to get root.

Thanks for clearing that up!
How come the dev's haven't released any information about if they are going to root the 2.2 froyo or not? now before any douche bag comes out with the same response all douche bags have(why don't you make it yourself if your so mad) i am knocking the fact that the devs haven't released a root yet im knocking the fact that they haven't said if they are even doing one, and if you go to the unrevoked beta irc(#unrevokedtest) and ask about the wildfire with regards to a new root they act if you just ask for a baby to sacrifice. Most of us just wanna know so that if in fact the unrevoked project for the new wildfire hboot is not happening we can go and get a new phone or try to find someone with a xclip(i don't know anyone that has one in Australia so im screwed)
Point of this thread apart from your rant? Since you very well know everything there is to it, was it really necessary to have one more rant post?
This thread makes you look like a douchebag, TBH

........................................................................ of course there is a reason read,read and then re-read and you will find that i am asking if the froyo 2.2 root is a go or no go
Just my 2 cents: getting a patched phone is no right, it's a privilege.
It is entirely up to the people of unrevoked to give information or not.
They are not obliged to do that.
So just wait and see.
If they release anything, be happy, if not, look somewere else.
They are doing a great job, and I have deep respect for them, investing many hours of hard work for the (inpatient) masses.

I think indeed that the reason why we have a huge number of unhappy users that post about the issue every day is that there is not a lot of communication from anyone involved in the developing process of rooting the device... Anyway I'm mainly disappointed by the HTC behaviour: what is the point in changing the hboot in an old device that you will not upgrade anymore? Make us buy a new device? I'm thinking of changing the brand of my android instead... Shame of you HTC...
I'm fairly new here, and the sense of entitlement is amazing. I'm new to android development, but this constant noise about this is driving me crazy.
I just bought a wildfire but before I purchased it, I did some research first. In Australia thankfully telstra hasn't done an over the air update so I knew that I could root the device.
On this forum there are many warnings about not applying the over the air update.
My advice is that the more noise that everyone is making about rooting the wildfire with the newer version of hboot, is more likely to make the developers ignore the wildfire as a platform.
Another option is that you could try and root the platform yourself. I know I'm looking at it, as I want s-off.
Take care,
Ivy.

Which is exactly the reason stated by the 1000 users who made same posts before you on the same topic.
Of course, your anger is justified. But, apparently, since there is no dev from Unrevoked here, and, in the case there is no update from Unrevoked as is the case now, what can you and I do about it? Rant? Ok, rant ahead as much as you want, but, I am 100% sure ranting wont get what you are looking for.
They have said on twitter they are looking into it

Maybe if we all donate 1 euro/dollar and make a contest of it.
Who is able to create a root program gets all the money
No serious...just wait...I believe in Unrevoked.
But they aren't robots, they got a live,go to work, play with there children,...
Please everybody wait and you get rewarded !

This is a very good idea! I begin to collect funds for the contest, you can put your money into my paypal account, I also accept credit cards and checks ...
Maybe its harder then we all think to find a solution....i bought an xtc clip.....make it s off, ruu with an older 2.1, then i use unrevoked.....then its free. It cost money....but its a hobby.......
