Ok since I upgraded to the 2.1 myphone has been having major problems almost to the point where I cant use it anymore. I have done a factory reset 3 times and still hasnt fixed the problems. I did do the upgrade over the air, what I need to know is, is there anyway I can downgrade back to the 1.5 or manually re upload the 2.1 version to see if it fixes my problems. Thank you.
what is exactly wrong with your phone that is making it unusable?
There is no current way to downgrade 2.1 to 1.5, even with OTA update, unless you would like to flash the root image, then downgrade back to regular 1.5... Also we may be able to better assist you if you explain the issues you are having with your phone a little better.
The issues I am having are text app force closes all the time, mostly when the phone itself is charging. I dont receive texts a lot, I have to *228 frequently through out the day. When I am at the homescreen the pages will slide all the way to the left and stay there the only way I can get back to anywhere is to either do a soft reset or long press the home key to go to another app. The biggest problem though is the texting and like i said it mostly just happens when the phone is charging. But the keyboard will seriously lag, force close...the cursor jumps to the begining of whatever i am saying or just randomly go to the left and mix all my words up.
have you installed any apps or do you use any widgets? are you using the sense home launcher?
i have not installed any apps since the 3rd time i did the factory reset, and i have no idea about the other question.
It sounds to me like there was some corruption with your OTA update. I would venture to say that you have two options here:
1. Take your Eris into Verizon and have them replace it.
or
2. Root your Eris and enjoy the many available roms here.
*Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible for what you do to your device, it is your choice to do whatever you please...*
why don't you just go into the verizon wieless store and tell them what is happening and they will give you a replacement. i had slight wifi issues so i went there and they gave me a new phone on the dot! they might make you do some factory resets and such there also
yeah thats what i think too..but since i did the over the air update to the 2.1 i didnt think I could do any roots or whatever. I am not that knowledgable when it comes to the roots or any of that. I would like to do that so I can fix my phone and actually use it. Can you please provide me with step by step instructions on how to do that.
ok i am not responsible for this but here is the link to the instructions:http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/53963-guide-stock-1-5-latest-root-2-1-a.html
also this will void your warranty so you can't get a free replacement from verizon after you root
update: these are instructions for windows if you search around you can find instructions for linux and mac (i rooted on a mac so if you need help PM me and i will respond when i can (i am not an expert))
ok so once i dothe root or whatever will my contacts still sync with google?? I cant get a replacement phone anyhow because I bought this phone from a private owner, but I did not have problems with it until right after I did the upgrade a few weeks after I bought the phone.

Here is a link to a thread that will take you through the root process. These guys, ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle, know their stuff! They even made an app to do the hard part.

Yes, you can still sync with Google. (Did someone say g00gl3?) Lolz
Anyhow, just do some research as you choose which rom to load. Every rom has it's own features and charateristics. Also, make sure to create Nandroid backups whenever flashing from rom to rom just in case of issues. Good luck!
ok since i am very illiterate about the whole rom thing and all that..can you please in your opionion tell me which way to go?? I wont hold anything against you I just want to be able to use my freakin phone. I dont really care about the techy stuff as long as i can use the apps and text and make calls I am good. I looked at the link you provided "google" lol..and i am not sure quite how to do it. I know i am being a big pain right now I just dont want to mess my phone up.
actually the jumpy screen while charging thing is pretty common I believe its a hardware issue though...its my belief the mini usb connecter on the eris is shoddy
plug in the charger and wiggle it you may notice the connetor is not properly fastened to the phone
fyi DO NOT hold the phone up or horizontial by the usb plug...my wife did that to both our phones and ever since then it will flake out
a quick fix would be to plug in wiggle it and unplug you want the mini usb connector back in alignment

No worries - everyone is hesitant at first - no one wants to brick their phone...
What kind of computer do you use; Windows, Mac, or Linux? This is important for following the root procedure.
I still believe the EMA app that I linked is your best bet. It handles the tough command line tasks for you.
As for a rom, you can see by my signature that I prefer Sense-able 3.1 from Jamezelle. But I also really like Evil Eris 2.0.1 by Framework43.
I would probably suggest Sense-able 3.1 for you because it is based on an Eris build. I have found it to be very stable and doesn't really need any tweaks to run well.
*Just wanted to note that I am in no way knocking any other roms or devs on these boards. Thank you to all the talented devs out there for all the work you do!!!*
i downloaded the sensible rom..as far as the app goes how do I go about getting that or whatever?? I am running windows..but the sensible rom file is downloaded to my desk top i havent done anything with it yet beings that I dont have a clue as to what I am doing lol..

Just download the EMA app and use it. The thread has instructions to use it. Just read the part about pre-requisites to install the needed software. Then run EMA and follow the center column of 4 commands. Thats really all there is to it.
Like I said earlier, ECLIPS3 and Jamezelle do great work and are willing to provide help. As he said above...
Okay, I'm not sure what has happened. I picked up my HD2 last week, I had WinMo running until I got home from the store LOL. After trying the different builds I settled on Darkstone FROYO for obvious reasons to me. Ran it ever since, until today, I decided to give a different radio a try due to the fact that large file downloads ie Google Sky Map would fail and I read that a different radio may help. After flashing the radio I went from the Chucky ROM to RC4.7 BLACK TMOUS VR ROM. All went well. Backed up my SD CARD DATA and reformated it to FAT32 32KB, copy my backup back on the SD and loaded dual boot.
Booted right up into Android and right away i see my hard keys are lit up. To be honest I didn't know they even were lighted. LOL.
Anybody else notice this?
They are not working in any build as of now. Are you sure that when you booted into Android from WM, these buttons were not lit up.
If they were, they gonna be lit up all the time (even if you lock the device). If that is the case, would suggest you to reboot it to windows and boot into android only when the buttons are not lit up.
They are on... but yes you are correct. they are on all the time. Even when I lock or when the device goes to sleep.
You booted it from WM with them on, wait til they turn off before booting android
I noticed something else too... I still had the boot screen from the Chucky ROM even after the flash to the VR ROM. So I just reflashed to AxLor DF1 Xlite and that is taken care of. my lights are now off yet again.
wasted thread this has been talked about 1000 times over find another way to get your post up
they shouldnt be lit up lol

i agree... but maybe that how "he's" getting his post count up... lol
anyways, this has happened to me a couple times and i agree with earhog, wait till they are off in WM before u run HARET. this way they'll be off when you boot android and wont drain your battery as quickly...

Damn... I have always searched the forum for answers and advice prior to posting any questions... hence my post count. I did do a search and all I could pull up was posts about them not working. This was more of observation than a question that I thought was strange.
Nothing more.

I am using my first post just for you. You sir, are an ass and need to go elswhere with your "higher-than-mighty" attitude. Since none of the roms are finalized, this is an acceptable topic for this section. OP even stated later on, all he found was posts for the buttons NOT working. And it is apparent that he was asking if anyone else has ran into this issue. For all we know, there may be an issue the the ROM he has loaded that is causing the buttons to stay on like that.
So heed your own advise and stop padding YOUR post count.
noticed something like that too. the button lights are on SOMETIMES. I can say for sure, I didnt start haret with the lights on, but at some point the lights went on during running android (and stayed on). I think an incoming call triggered it, but I'm not sure.
Hey so this is my first post ever, and im really sorry if i put it in the wrong place, if so mods can you do me a solid and move it?
Ive looked around the forums and didnt really seem to find anything on my issue, but my Lg quantum's touchscreen locked up on me. It is completely Non-Responsive, i thought maybe i messed something up in the registry so i did a cold boot and now im stuck at the Welcome to your LG LG-C900 windows phone screen and i cant hit anything! Any ideas what could be causing this to happen, and/or how to fix it? Thanks in advance for any help you guys can provide!
when (if) you did your update to 7008, it should have made a restore point for ya. if you hook it back up to zune theres a restore button in the update page. might be worth a shot...
Hey buddy, thanks a lot! Im gonna give it a shot now, im putting it back together as we speak! If i havent updated it could an update maybe fix what was wrong? If that doesnt work, is there anything else we can try to do to fix it? Anybody know a good tutorial for me to take it apart?
***Edit***
Hey so im having trouble putting the phone into emercency download mode, im trying to work from the thread here , http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-935605.html , and im confused at the (VOL+CAM+PWR) i hold those and nothing happens to enter a download mode.... anybody have any advice?
i read somewhere that for the (VOL+CAM+PWR) to work, your phone must first be off first.
and idk if we are allowed outside links here, but THIS looks like the same link as your just on a diffrent site. maybe some searching on that site might bring up something...
So an update, after much tinkering with the phone I found that to get into emergency download mode you must first:
shut the phone off
slide open the keyboard
hold space then press power
it goes to download mode instantly
Sadly, updating the firmware manually did not bring back my touchscreen =[
Any other advice? Or somewhere i can go to learn to take apart the quantum properly?
Please post in the proper device forum! I will now move your thread. Please remember to look at the stickys up top, and to look at all the device forums before you post.

Did your digitizer go out? I broke mine -_-
Anyone find a guide on how to replace the digitizer?
Did you get the phone from a supplier (e.g. Bell, Sprint, AT&T)? If so, you might be able to contact their Customer Service to talk about repair/replacement...
I does sound like you have a hardware fault -- not something that can be fixed with firmware, etc.
I just took apart my quantum and found an amazing service manual for it if anyone needs it. I had the same thing when I put it back together but I had just unplugged the digitizer and didnt plug it back in. Ill put up a link to the file if anyone needs it. I gotta also say I friggen love this phone. I apparently knocked it off the table one night into a pitcher of Koolaid. It sat there for hours. In the morning I picked it up and poured a glass and there is my quantum at the bottom of the pitcher. I was livid. I just pulled battery out, dried it, gave it an alcohol bath, opened it up and put it in a tupperware container of rice for 24 hours, then used a hairdryer to get any remaining liquid in there dried. Put it all back together and the only thing wrong with it was water in the LCD. Just replaced the LCD so I can see better, (it was only annoying, but perfectly functional). Digressing... SO I found the service manual and even made a youtube video of the basics of taking it apart. Ill post the links in an edit.
The video sux I know but it was only because no one had one up yet, so I had to post it to show what I found out and what troubles I had etc.

And I posted the Svc manual as well here

Hey guys im noob sauce now before I make myself look like ... Well a noob I'd like to say this site is pretty cool.
Okay now to my point I was using my droid x and I was planning on putting on a rom so I install titanium backup and back up all of that data but then I stop it because these stupid pop up windows keep coming up and stop my download so I (like a dummy) take out my battery and put it back in so I tried to turn it back on and the animation for the letters would come up and the red eye of the system would load and just when it's done BAM ! It starts all over again so I got a brilliant idea to try out clock work and see if I can fix it from there so I try a factory reset and a catche rest and tried it again however that didn't work not and it got even shorter to the point where the eye hasn't hardly loaded up and then next I try I guess a "hard restart"? Something crazy
Like that it's with the power button and the home button so I try that but when I push the magnifying glass the "blue letter" won't show and it's really tap dancing on my last nerve and I almost ended up throwing the thing on the ground and stomping on it :/ anyway I wanna fix the dang thing but it's not working I have a Mac home computer I'm a noob and I'm on a time line cause I need my phone before 2 days from now and the guy that usually helps me is messing with his phone. So somebody please help me please help is poor pitiful stupid noob
There are several threads on this . Keep searching.

What was your system version?
If it was .602 you can download a Linux live CD and boot from that to SBF your phone.
There may also be one for .621, if you were on that version.
Google "1kds Linux live CD". That should turn up what you need.

Hello, I have been given a nexus to try fix, Its one of the older style ones 7 inch i think with only front facing camera and wifi only, It seems to have an intermittent problem powering on, I've checked and rechecked all hardware so think now maybe its some software problem as the owner has tried to root the device unsuccessfully and i think flashed wrong ROM,
Is there anyway i can restore the device and possibly even root it for them at the same time without being able to boot into the device and see build version etc, I am able to get it to power on eventually but takes some playing about removing battery a few times till it decides to boot but once its on it stays on but cant access anything as it just keeps constantly throwin up the same error sayin "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" and i can close them all fast enough to view anything in the tablet,
Any help here would be great, Im guessing i just need to flash the correct ROM plus whatever other files are needed the ODIN/USB way, Im just not sure what files to use for this device, Think its Grouper
Anyone any ideas how i can fix this?

just need someone to read over your post is all & give a response ... Sounds like an app/service is crashing, best thing to do is hook it up to a pc an play around with the Nexus Root Toolkit, if you can boot the N7 you can fix it with that program, just make sure your comfortable with that level of modifications, with that tool you can do just about anything with your N7 sorry but it doesn't sound as if you have much knowledge of the working of the N7, I only mention it an suggest you do a lot more research before fixing what is a simple fix in the grand scheme of things of what could be wrong.. Don't forget the make sure its got a decent charge before "flashing"... for the power on issue, just pull the back plate off an unplug the battery cable "carefully", and then pop it back in making sure its in even, flush an all the way.. good luck :good:
