Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY

## 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.

This is 100% legit! Very easy to do. One click. If you cant click one button. You dont deserve root lol!

good work jcase and eclips3

good stuff!!!

Front page vote is in Nice work! As usual...

Very cool awesome work team!
Im already rooted but this should help quite a few who arnt/wouldn't be able to get adb setup or follow through etc.

Seriously, jcase & ECLIPS3, you guys are animals !

Thats awesome! if my eris ever craps out on me and i get a new one i will definitely use this.
Jcase and others; you are amazing

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!

Guess I will be trying this soon as VZW is sending me another refurb
thanks agin for all the work you and others put into the Eris community

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.

Just got my G2 whowhoo!! What should i do?

what are apps i need and what does rooting do i was just reading that one click temp root
any advice thanks alot i am also new to rooting

Let me first say, CONGRATULATIONS!
At the beginning, forget rooting.
Here is what I did:
1. Mess with all Android settings.
2. Put tons of music, videos, photos, roms, etc, onto memory card.
3. Set ringtone, wallpaper, organize homescreen, and do "basic" customization.
4. Set up Google Voice(most people don't have this as a main step, but I do since I love this app )
5. Download must-have apps(for me gameboid is one), install, and set them up.
6. Sync all accounts, get contacts on the phone.
7. Disable things you will not use, such as the photobucket app.
8. Whatever you want, now you can root
While doing this, I would recommend running the battery from 100% to 0% and using a battery measuring app such as battery left inorder to "calibrate" your battery. Whether this is a myth or fact on whether it improves your battery life, since I see people arguing on this a lot, it can't hurt to do it.

He pretty much covered it.
Just enjoy the phone and have fun with it bro.

you might also want to get an invisible shield or a case of some sort to protect the phone as well

If you don't like bloatware, take a look at this thread.
Honestly, doing temp root on the G2 is absurdly easy with the VISIONary app (mentioned in that thread).

so what exactly is the point of a ROOT what will i be able to do other than overclock?

Have you clicked on the "problems" key in the homepage of Titanium? It's prompt you to download the latest version on busybox, press yes. Also is superuser giving it permission.

I saw that it had busybox, but you are correct, that fixed it... Thanks...
As for waiting for another phone, i cant seem to keep a phone for more then 5 months anyway, i am always changing...
for now, the new toy is a G2, and i must say i like it

yeah, it's good

Hey everyone, I have the phone rooted but can't seem to find a wifi tethering app which works good on G2. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Lol...I just want free hotspot..all that clockwork talk is over my head.

It's best to learn yourself, because that way you know what happens to your phone.
I no longer root other people's phone or mod it in any way. There is always that .00001% chance the phone would brick. I would feel horrible if I broke somebody's phone.
Not to be mean either but people come back to me for "Tech support" Blaming me that there phone isn't working properly because I "Rooted it" for them.
Also.. it's really easy to do. I mean all you have to do is:
-Get samsung drivers
-Put phone in USB Diagnostic Mode
-Run the Noobnl one click root.
Your done.
Like Pjames said.. Believe in yourself and have confidence.

Bomix is right. And its SUPER easy. If you have windows 7 you might have a smig harder time. I had to run the program 7 times to get it to finally connect and do it. But that just required double clicking it to try again. Also restaring the phone and then running the program when you see the sprint logo worked for me. But anyways, you really can't get easier than this, when I had to root my nexus one it took me forever with all the software, and dos cmd commands.

You can use Wifi Tether, look it up on the market it's free.

Craiglist might help. I know ppl mod phones for like 20 bucks on craigslist. Try that out, although rooting is not hard at all if u don't mind being ripped off then try that out.

Yes, but a much, much better solution is here. Infrastructure mode, and nicely integrated into the Wireless & Networks section of the Settings app. I've installed and tested it on the MixUp kernel, and it works like a champ.

There's a few apps that pop up in the market for wifi tether. Which one should we get?

So once rooted, you don't need a special setting/program to tether, you can just use tethering programs and assume it is free?
In WM there's always the settings/program that I was paranoid about having wrong.

No... you don't use the Sprint hotspot app. This mod integrates a wireless Access Point feature/capability directly into the phone.
After installation, a new item appears in menu->settings->Wireless & networks -- "Mobile AP".
Select it, and turn it on with the checkbox. Wait while it configures everything in about a minute, then look for it with any wireless device and connect same as any AP. The device will now have internet access via your Epic.
This solution beats any other simply on account of the Infrastruture Mode implementation; however, the tight integration directly into the Android system beats the app approach too, for my tastes.
The SSID, DHCP server address range, and other wifi router/AP parameters are configurable.

just keep in mind this mod only works on stock/odexed ROMs, which if all you are doing is rooting, you have. if that is too much then you can get wifi tether but i think the market version still doesnt work on the Epic (correct me if thats changed).
the working version is here: http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/
but you have to go to settings > applications > check unknown sources to install a file downloaded from non-market source.

As others have stated, you really should do it yourself and learn. Unless of course you dont ever plan on getting another phone that you plan to root. Most of the guides on XDA offer wasy instructions and have (some) members that will be patient and offer you assistance if you need it.
It really isnt that difficult with the guides and instructions some have posted. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798067. My 12 year old nephew followed that post, and with minimal questions rooted his phone on his own without any issues.

Seriously, no way to take screenshots on unrooted evo?

Well since I got my replacement evo, it came with GB so I lost root and access to my screenshot app for rooted phones.
I searched and all I found was the android sdk and screenshot it which is tethered and your phone needs to be plugged into the computer every time you reboot.
Any other options?

If you can turn on USB debugging, you might be able to use ddms.bat included with the Android SDK (for Windows). It takes a second to start up, but if it finds your EVO, you can choose "Device, Caputre Screenshot" and win.
It's not the best solution, but might be the only solution. Requires a USB cable.

So I have to plug it in every time to take a screenshot or is this a one time deal?

Search for app called shootme.

^ ! Exactly why I'm asking.

You can set up QtADB and do screenshots but only when your phone is plugged in usb. At least that way you can do it graphically instead of command line.

Sent from the Evo

yeah but they recently updated the app and its no longer working without root.

There's an app called No Root Screenshot It in the market for $4.99. It's fairly easy to setup, and the only catch is you have to re-enable it everytime your phone reboots thru the PC program that is required to install it. I use it on my unrooted EVO 2.3.3 and it works great.
Edit: Ah I just noticed in your OP about Screenshot It. It's not so bad with the re-enabling and stuff. Usually I'm home when I reboot, so it isn't a big deal to me. Still gets the job done for us who got screwed with a 2.3.3 refurb.

I think some versions of the Evo's software have allowed it without root, and some haven't. I think it's gone back and forth a few times, and I'm not sure why they can't make up their mind.
An unrestricted ability to take screenshots could be a security risk, as an app could run in the background and take screenshots while you're entering your credit card info or whatever. But I don't see why they couldn't have it built into Android and protected with defined permissions, just like other sensitive operations are.

ShootMe worked on my Evo before I rooted it - this was back on whatever version was before 3.70 (3.30, I think). If it's ShootMe that doesn't allow for non-rooted screenshots, I have an older version you can try out. If it's your phone, you're going to have to do it the hard way.

The last update was in January, version 0.8.0, which is the version I have readily available. I am pretty certain that I have an older version somewhere on my computer that I used before rooting. If I can find it then I'll post it.

Windows 10 can be tricky. I've had issues in the past issuing any commands to DL mode with Windows 10. This dates back to using my G2. I got it to work this last time trying, but you might have to use another OS if you can't get it to work.
