soooo i was unrooted 1.5 stock hero rom, then the official leak came out so i upgraded to that, is there anyway i can root now?

The RUU police didn't get here in time for this one...
You'll have to wait for a 2.1 exploit to be discovered.

thanks, it's alright though, 2.1 is great. The only things i wish it had were lwp and friendstream, but i can cope. I guess i'll just wait.

So you have 2.1 RUU ? Then you cannot root.

haha yeah i bit the dust,
i don't think i'm missing out on that much seeing as i tried rooting before and it never worked

hrm a new user must have posted and then deleted.

i did try to use the kitchen, it would get up to the point where it would go into recovery mode then just stay stuck at the HTC logo recovery screen, also when i was doing it it says pre-kitchen has identified that you are not running a stock sprint rom, even though i was completely stock 1.5.

Sprint 2.1 update released!!!

For whoever hasn't noticed....the HTC site has the long-awaited 2.1 update. Here's the info.

Ooh you're right... not gonna flash this one, but rather flash other people's mods of it.
Thanks for the heads up though, nice to have it backed up

Um. Not to be rude but this was released 3 days ago and is already old news. And yes, if you use this update you will lose root, with no current way to get it back.

Dont get too excited. No one is develpoing ROMs based off of this, because there hasnt been a way found to root this. If you install it it WILL unroot your phone, maybe permanently. But there are several ROMs already running the leak of this. The leak that had the release keys instead of test keys that came out a few days before, and even has the same MD5 checksum as the HTC/Sprint download. Check Fresh Rom 2.1.1
Good idea to do plenty of reading first

sprint release
If you go to htc sight in to the communitty hear the problems they are having already with this not working correctly. People when downloading the MR is not sticking and for those that do they are having mms problems. Read into it first before you loose your root and have this problems.

It doesn't matter if there is a way to root it or not, devs take the ROM.zip from the RUU, and build everything into it.

Man, I am qouted in like 6 signatures around these parts...
I am awesome!

Download ROM HERE
It seems to be a Verizon Droid Eris 2.1 Official ROM.
RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.36.605.1_release_signed_with_driver.exe

Anyone test this on their Eris yet?

Its an ruu, I suspect of the OTA maybe. Don't flash if you are root or 1.5

what about leaked v3 ok to flash?

I'm testing it right now. I was running leak v1. Will post results when it's complete.

Ok Thanks buddy

Tried it on leak v3. I still have hboot 1.49 so no change there. Other than that, the only thing that changed was the build number. It now has release-keys instead of test-keys after it. It is the OTA, just doesn't really do much for those running leak v3 and looking to root.

Flash successful HBOOT v 1.49.0000 S-ON

Conflipper, I cross-posted this on android forums .com and I gave you credit for posting it. Thank you! This will help all of the folks who are stuck on earlier non-root leaks and just want to get up to the current version (but are having trouble flashing the "leak v3" zip manually).
I've verified that the rom.zip within this RUU is identical (based on checksums) to the non-root PB00IMG.ZIP known as "leak v3" (the fourth leak).

Your rom had "test-keys" after it before you flashed this? That means you were rooted? If so you just lost root

i think he meant he was already running leak 3... and not rooted.

Does this bring all the 2.1 Sense UI features to the Eris like friendstream etc?

Perhaps folks should try re-reading what thenestor reported up above in this very thread:
[SIZE=+1]The ROM that is bundled inside this RUU IS IDENTICAL TO LEAK-V3[/SIZE].
Don't get your hopes up if you are a leaker; this is only useful for folks who mysteriously were able to manage Leak-V1 (the first leak) or Leak-V2 (the third leak), but are somehow now unable to repeat exactly the same procedure with the Leak-V3 (fourth leak) PB00IMG.ZIP.

All the leaks (excepting the 2nd chronological leak, the "root-ROM") were shipped with release-keys.
The root-ROM was the only one that reported "test-keys".

Right! If people are on the leak and are not holding out for the slim chance of root, they should flash this. Atleast they will have an "official" release

What?
If it is IDENTICAL to Leak-V3; as far as the phone is concerned, how would it be any more or any less official?
I'm wondering, what do people think "Identical" means?
Coinflipper needs to "get the word out" that there is a new copy of Leak-V3 floating around; his OP reads as if this is something new, when it is not.
Wow, great news! It will encourage folks like the poster up above to rush out and unroot their phone.
Oh well, more power to them... or less, as the case may be.

First of all I said "those on a leak", didn't say leak v3. Just to bring you up to speed there are 2 leak versions before v3, hence the v3. It would be more official because this one WAS released by Verizon, whereas the leaks were not, which is why they were leaks. It is identical yes, but the build number is different, which would differentiate between leak v3 and this OFFICIAL release should you need to return your phone. Just because the support people might not be able to tell, someone can believe me. I know people who have returned there leak and been charged for a new phone because they had unofficial software on there phone, never even mentioning it. This was a month or more later, just showed up right there on there bill.
So, people who feel better having an official release (whether your on leak v1, v2, or v3) can flash this, it's official. If someone who has root can't read where it says this is for people on the leaks, if you have or ever want root don't update. Then that's their problem, not much you can do about that....

Rooting Gingerbread 2.3

For those of you who unrooted and installed the Gingerbread OTA update, here's how to root it by unrooting to 2.2 then using the regular 2.2 root method.
You need to go back to 2.2 for now which isn't a big deal and takes 5 minutes.

The same thing happened when OTA 3.70 came out. Then people *****ed until a root method became available. Couldn't wait the couple of hours until a Dev posted a rooted ROM. No sympathy here.

Who said that would happen. Consensus was that it was going to be sense 1.0 since we got the april leak. And htc never said anything about a sense ui upgrade. Why dont you pick one of the many sense 2.1 roms availible. All are smooth and great bases for future roms.

well since the sense sdk is coming, hopefully itll make the newer sense roms more stable

ok, so if the bootloader is still locked(which was predicted that htc's policy wasnt retro active). Did they at least "not" patch the rageagainstthecage exploit? If they did that sucks(well, it sucks for the noobs that unrooted to get it at least, instead of waiting an hour later).Hopefully the exploit still works for GB.

Nelson: ha ha !

Gingerbreak
I've already tried every method on 2.3, Z4root doesn't work, Vision root doesn't work, Gingerbreak doesn't work, hence why you can still root it by going back to 2.2 RUU. For now, this will get most people rooted. not sure about the errors some people are getting yet.

I am getting the error as well.

Nobody is asking for your sympathy, fag stick! Why don't you hold down the button on the top of your EVO. When the screen turns black, just walk away so the actual professionals do what no one has ever accomplished. Innovation is what pays the rent and the rent is just too damn high. Stain me.

Radio from the new update 2.11.605.9

I managed to zip up the new radio from 2.11.605.9 - Baseband: 1.48.00.0930w_3, 0.01.78.0916w_3. I have already flashed on mine to verify it works and DID NOT remove my s-off or root. Just flash like any other radio. Enjoy.
These are safe to flash and simply just the radio files and are in no way associated with removing root or s-off.
Installing this radio update may prompt the 2.11.605.9 OTA - DO NOT ACCEPT/INSTALL THE OTA UNTIL SOMEBODY TEARS IT APART TO DEBLOAT AND OR REMOVES UN-NEEDED FILES. INSTALLING/ACCEPTING THE OTA RIGHT NOW MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE ROOT AND/OR S-OFF.
If anybody wants to host the file go ahead because i dont know how much dropbox will let me get away with.

If I flash this to a regular s-off stock Thunderbolt can I install CM7.1 without an issue...first time screwing around with thunderbolt after rooting and doing basic tuning
I've flas hed radios and roms/kernels on other android phones so I just want to double check if theres a conflict between cm7 and new radio. I don't think there should be but I didn't hear a good review of the overall software update so I'd prefer to just do radios for now.
Thanks

I don't think it's removing s off. It does sound like the new OTA is being pushed to rom's using the older base though, and obviously if you flash that OTA you'll lose root and s off. In any case, I flashed this on cm7 and I still have s off.

This WILL NOT do anything to your bootloader. I'm running the revolutionary s-off bootloader and have maintained it after flashing this. Ryanmo was just stating that flahing the radio triggered his phone to try to download the ota. Simply abort it and you won't have any problems.
