2.1 leak OFFICIAL root status thread.

Since nobody else has created this thread, thought it might be a good idea to have this 1 around.
Lets get this thing rooted
Edit:: Devs working on the 2.1 Leak root, please contact me via PM. It would be great to know who all is working hard on this
BTW, JCASE is AMAZING.

I believe the individual responsible for rooting the Legend is coming back from vacation tomorrow (IF the big ass ash cloud permits flying again), and there might be a chance it can be replicated onto the ERIS. So yeah, it's a good idea to put it all in one area.

I hope it can but im not holding my breath.

Wonderful! Hopefully this will encourage more users to post progress of the rooting.

Perhaps a mod can sticky this thread?

Please sticky this thread

And please, please, please can we keep it clean and on topic! Hope to see some stuff happening here. Go root!

If they did its because of ungrateful people like you.
Most of the devs dont have Eris' anymore let alone an Eris with leaked 2.1 to test with. Te guy who rooted the desire/legend in one fell swoop was notified and has shown interest in helping. So keep your pants on, if you have 2.1 leak its your own fault for jumping the gun.
For the record I jumped the gun too, but acquired a new Eris which is now rooted.

Sometimes minor frustration sounds ungrateful. I'm pretty sure what was being commented on was the fact that no devs addressed the subject. And, I bet the OP'er was really just trying to get the subject back up in the first page.
My conscience won't let me turn in my Eris for a mistake I made. The rest of the folks who can't or won't turn their phones in for replacement are having to hope for the best, same as me and the OP'er.
Nothing personal, meant here (more like an implied question) but I find myself curious about why someone who's already rooted, and is not apparently a dev is even reading this thread..

*sigh* I hear ya. Your gripe is totally valid. Sorry if I sounded like a jerk.
As someone in the same position as anom69, I was glad to see this thread started.. if nothing else, then to toss out a line and see whether anybody was still plying at it.. I keep picturing the "real" hackers not bothering with the cheap/free/not-so-impressively-spec'd Eris and getting, instead, (what they might term) "real" phones.. basically echoing what you stated earlier..
The story of Legend-rooter dude sounds promising. It'd be awesome of it turns into something.

It's more like "geez i can't stand to hear these people whine, maybe I will get an iphone instead".
or a motodroid.

It was kinda annoying seeing a signature that says I have root, but I'm not going to share it too. Like, why be a d!ck if you figured it out? If you don't want to share it or be bugged, don't say anything.
I do tutorials and write-ups for a truck forum. If I didn't want people PM'ing me, emailing me, or asking questions in forums all the time I wouldn't have done them in the first place. Seems simple enough: don't want attention then keep your head down.

If someone is running leak version one and doesnt mind taking a chance, come hit me up on irc.wastate.net #droideris

Okay, so your going to let one dude ruin the work that would help loads of people like me???? Personally, I'm amazed at the work all the devs put into these forums and thankful.

since I have started coming here for all my information on rooting and whatnot I have noticed one major theme that pops up over and over, there are a few devs here with a holier than thou attitude, if you are doing this for fun and nonprofit as you claim to, then deal with us noobs who can't do this stuff on our own, you cry and whine when someone asks a question, like we are intruding on your personal space, we only ask because we don't know how to do this ourselves and are kinda stuck sitting watching and waiting, and when all we see are threads about new roms and such for rooted users, it kinda leaves us wondering, what about me, yes you are right we jumped the gun with installing the leak, but who told us it was ok, it was you guys, we aces our trust in you devs because we trust what you have to say, leaving is now high and dry because everyone jumped ship and got a replacement phone or a Droid or whatever, so doors that make us the bad guys because we want to know, what about us?
and a second thing, I've read a couple threads where devs are kinda claiming responsibility for obtaining root, but when in reality, while it was "obtained", it was not done so in a legal, nor reproducable manner, as I heard someone hacked HTC and found a prerooted file, so while we do hold the devs in high reguard for being able to do what we cannot, please do not be so full of yourselves and forget that you are human just like us
sorry for the rant, but getting tired of some things around here
and also, not everything here applies to all the devs, but I won't name names here

Honestly, after the way you acted last time someone "bothered" you about this I never expected to hear from you again about this let alone a solution.
So forgive me if I don't get upset about you bowing out again when someone speaks up.

ROM request... <ADMIN: Please DELETE>

I was wondering if someone could make a ROM for me... I know that it's kind of unreasonable to ask a chef that already devotes alot of their free time to make a special ROM but I figure'd, what the hey?
I like the Plain Jane sense ROM that Jcase made but I was wondering if someone could take that ROM and run with it a little more like fixing the TWS 50% bug, removing the bloatware, improving battery life ( if possible),adding apps2sd and JIT. This is assuming that it can be done. Don't worry, my feelings won't be hurt if there aren't any takers. Thanks!

Word of advice. You want something, learn it. TWS is a joke. No battery difference. Dont care what anyone says. Removing bloatware can be done via either adb or root explorer. Sounds like you dont want to learn, so invest a few bucks and buy root explorer. You can access system files and remove them that way. Improving battery life is by changing OC options.
Dont mean to sound like a **** but you are asking for stuff that is already out there or can be done by you by either running a flash able update or by adb. Google is your friend.

Re: ROM request...
First of all tws is not a joke because. If it was a joke, developers wouldn't be talking about fixes for it. Second, are you a dev? Or are you just having fun throwing around your little bit of knowledge for everyone else here to ooh and aw over and say "oh kevlar is soo smart!" Im looking for feedback from an established developer.... I. E. Not you. Thanks.

I may be no special dev, but I can honestly say Kevlar is 100% correct. The tools are on this forum and devs can't take out the time to make special roms for each person. All I do is port roms for the community and that's even a hassle, o do everyone a favor and reaed up a little bit. It will do you some good.

+1 on that. Especially the porting being a pain in the ass thing.
Not so sure about TWS though, as when I fix it I DO see battery life improvements. And it's with OC off. But I'm no dev either so I could be wrong.

lol you are seriously asking for people to make you a ROM?? for free. I just have one question. What makes you think you're so special...

I find it hilarious that even when I have a request that is stated in the most polite, non-begging, completely understanding and respectful way of the ones who would actually be able and capable of helping me out, the trolls of XDA STILL have nothing better to do than flame me. This was a very simple question AND I even stated that I understand the time constraints of the developers. Also, being that I have flashed just about every ROM for the Eris there is right now, I don't really have a problem reading and researching...I have a problem with developing (you know, the whole reason for my question in the first place). So I'd like to thank you guys so much for really making a mountain out of a mole hill here. ADMIN: Could someone please delete this topic? The children can't seem to play nice.

Maybe you should wait till Christmas and ask someone to make you one.
Or maybe offer some money, people might be more inclined to make 1 ROM for 1 person.

You should live by a golden rule. IF you want something done right DO IT YOURSELF. Now, back to my question. Why DO YOU, think you're so special, that someone is going to take time out of their life, to build YOU a ROM, for FREE, to a STRANGER. Sorry but I don't think I'm the troll here.
PS, ONE last thing, and what exactly are you getting so upset about. You open a thread, people respond, you don't like the way they respond now you ask the ADMINs to WASTE their time cleaning up crap that shouldn't have ever been made. do us all a favor, and read before you write.

Ah.. Thanks for the constructive input, zach.xtr. I must admit, I flashed your latest (well not the Vboost quite yet) this morning and the battery life seems damn good even with OC. I can see myself sticking with yours for a while. I actually had 2 PM's today from two developers wondering if I'd like them to work on a ROM for me.... for a price of course. I really don't know why Blazed One thinks that I am assuming that I am "special" and would like a ROM for free. I really didn't state either of those things nor would I. Oh and Blazed One, I'll be sure to let you know how my custom ROM turns out. I may even give you the name of the developer that I end up going with, if you are nice. Thanks again zach.xtr for you hard work. This latest is really great.

Lag Fix - Clear the confusion lads :)

This is not intended to be mean personally, but this confusion needs to be sorted out.
1. there is a reason why mimocan's lagfix is the only fix stickied.
2. there is a reason why cyanogen has chosen supercurio's voodoo fix to be implemented with Cyanogen *A hugely famous ROM*
I think this speaks for itself. I urge people to consider the fact why are Cyanogen choosing the voodoo method to implement as their lagfix and not the one click fix.
I know not much on this technical details of all this. But logic tells me that if Cyanogen is behind supercurio then that is all that needs to be said. beta2 will be out within days, as for a public release hold tight.
Just wait and see, and donate some money for the hard work I know curio has put in.
Ryan I welcome a rebuttal on this, but you can't really argue that the team at cyanogen are incorrect in supporting the 'wrong lag fix concept'..

This just in:
Lag Fix - There are different ways of doing it.

Well I don't think Cyanogen would have flipped a coin to decide whichfix they will use..
Give cyanogen team some credit please..

Give RyanZA some credit. He's never claimed that his solution is the only solution, or that it's the best one. It is a solution.
As for Mimocan's, I'm guessing it's stickied because he was the first person to come up with a solution.
RyanZA's fix has gained popularity IMHO because it's easy to apply.

You are missing the point of the thread then.
It is confusing for users with the fixes available. The better/safest one needs to be pointed out.
Ryan has done a great job and I praise his work and intentions.

make love not war. C'mon lads

Please be open and kind about this discussion, I apologise if the tone was set in a negative way.
The aim is just to inform the newer users that the preferenced fix is endorsed by a hugely respected dev team at cyanogen.
This forum may have alliances towards the wrong advice.
I am simply putting it out there as an external view point on this, it is important to note that for cyanogen to back the voodoo fix, this itself holds great merit in this debate. as apposed to the in fighting/tension that has been in this forum.
I do not apologise for pointing out the elephant in the room though.

yes here is the update
http://bit.ly/cmprogress
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4527-running-update-thread-on-sgs-progress/

cmon, the tone of your post is already a huge disrespect to RyanZa. I've been using lagfixes since Modaco Paul's nand-fix, then Mimocan, then RyanZa and now Supercurio's voodoo fix.
I have huge respect to all of them for the work and dedication they do which makes our life a little better. I'd just like to offer an observation, when RyanZa's one-click fix came out, he was being cheered and praised like a popstar. Then later when Supercurio's voodoo fix came out, some of those who cheered ryan previously quickly turn to disparaging him. What hypocrites...
I am not here to argue about the merits and demerits of each lagfix. I am not nearly knowlegable enough. But what is the "BEST" method?? there are people who are still happily using Modaco paul's nand-fix and lately there are some who has stopped using lagfixes altogether because they felt samsung's latest firmwares improved the situation for them. Should we then try to "convert" everyone to use supercurio voodoo fix just becoz some ppl feel it's the best and cyanogen team has chosen it? Cyanogen team has also chosen to use ADW launcher only. Should everyone else stop using Launcher Pro?
The point abt android systems is CHOICE. this is why i use android phone instead of Steve Job's "we know what's best for you" iphone.

I'm cool.
Just a recap,
First there was this modaco fix by Paul, moving apps into dbdata, even zenkinz do it in another way, which is to shift all the system data into the dbdata.
Then came mimocan's fix (believe there was 2 versions: ext3 and ext4)
Next came ykk_five idea, which RyanZA had followed on, in fact there were 3 versions. version 1, version 2 and the apk. Tayutama's uses script to install the lag fixes, and Chainsfire lagfix where there is a better UI. All these are variants.
All these fixes were applied by the various people, at different times, and most, if not all gained from these fixes, be it temporary or permanent.
As the product evolve, so does the lagfixes. The beginning was using adb commands, and later evolve into one app which can be downloaded. That's how we progresses.
And at this point of time, sc's fix is an excellent way of eliminating lag, but I definitely don't believe that it is going to be the last.
Of course, YMMV.

Please start saying what you mean or don't say anything.
You talk in vague term, repeating "there's a reason why..." without naming the reason you mean. You say "I think this speaks for itself". What speaks for itself? And what does it say? You haven't told us.
You're showing that you have a strong opinion for or against certain devs or solutions. You did not make this topic because you are actually asking for people to tell you which lagfix you should use. You made it because you want people to change to your point of view, or discredit you disagree with. And you do it by talking vaguely, without any relevant arguments. The only type of argument I could find was "Well, I think A is cool, and A is saying B is cool, so that must mean B is pretty cool! Guys, go for B, it's the only true path!"
Right now you sound to me like someone who wants to whine or *****, but knows he shouldn't, or who is too afraid to. I find that quite incorrect and annoying.
Please behave. Please let people make their own choices about this stuff by reading whatever they are interested in, without this weird type of drama-starting behavior.

Thread moved to General.

Wise man once said "Whether it's black cat or white cat. So long as it can catch a mouse, it's a good cat."

I have to agree with this, if something needs to be tested i think it should be done by the person who wants it tested not someone else.Its very irresponsible to have someone flash something that you won't flash yourself first.

Flashing anything has a chance of bricking your phone people. Don't flash something cause someone told you especially if they didn't test it them selfs.

When you flash ANYTHING you take the risk of destroying your device. I'm almost positive that Noob made sure to voice the possible issues that could come from flashing it. Don't down on him, if he says wanna flash something for me? It might break your phone though, and you accept its not his fault if you brick it.

Everyone has a choice whether to try it or not. Noobnl is a well respected contributer here and I would lay off noobnl if u want him to continue his work. There is nothing wrong with asking people to test something out. Each phone is different. Read threw the forums everyone is experiencing different problems with different roms. Its hit or miss. Atleast he was kind enough to warn us about. I tell u what if noobnl asked me to test something I would without thinking twice.
Sent from my viperROM rooted ext4 epic 4g

noobnl is active in the irc and communicates with these people about potential risks, so far he is one of the ONLY people doing development work on the Epic and currently he only has one device, if people are willing to test stuff so he can keep his device up and working than good for him. quit *****in and talkin about things you have no idea about

Am I insane are are the same people screaming about the lack of development here now screaming at noobnl for trying to develop for our phones?
You do realize that development is sometimes trial and error and there will always be bugs, right? Everyone who flashes anything or uses any workaround on this site is testing things that might destroy their phone but this you have a problem with? Wow.

i want to brick my phone EVERY day. if you dont, there are other forums for that. whats wrong with you people. this forums name is xda-DEVELOPERS. not xda-cryingbabies

Always riding noobnl and not his ass either! Noobnl...your our only hope... Only hope...only hope. It was bad taste but I'm sure the dude was willing. Still bad taste. To the men out there on noobnls johnson, hes a dude y'all post like your walking on egg shells. "oooooh noo if we say something mean he ll leave and its 2.1 forever.

That's a very confrontationally phrased question you got there and it makes it kinda difficult to answer in a manner that won't be taken as an attack on your opinion.
I will speak for nobody else, but for your first question, "...what makes noobnl so great?", here's my answer:
Nobody but you has stated that noobnl's "great". It is a seemingly resentful statement especially when the viewer reads on and sees that you also believe him "above the law". Therefore, I can only conclude that you personally consider him a great man but are resentful (for whatever reason) of that greatness.
The second question, "why should he be above the law?", I'm a bit confused about. How is he exhibiting behavior or actions that you perceive as "above the law"? I see no police here nor do I see him committing any crimes...but this is the internet and I only see him as a name and words and am not involved with his life outside of these sites. If he is, in fact, breaking the law and you have witnessed it, it is your duty as a citizen to report his activities to the authorities. Otherwise, aren't you just as guilty as he?
I appreciate your willingness to put together ROMS and such and put work into this phone. I am certain that someday, you, too will be so great that other people will take a chance on not reporting illegal activities that you perform, either.
Keep up the good work, Mystery, and don't let the naysayers get to you. Just focus on what you're doing and remember that it's for yourself; if you're happy with what you're doing, don't let anyone else force you to believe otherwise.

What rules did he break?
but anyways man he's not the only Dev "above the law"
he's trying hard to make cm6/cm7 work on our epic and would've been done by now if samsung/sprint handled their business but he's a very active Dev even though he has school and i believe he provided us with our first leak?and provided us with 1Click root? and he's been trying to get another leak apparently.
No im not **** riding but you have to admit noobnl has probably done the most SO FAR when it comes to development on the Epic but im not taking away from other Devs like the ACS team who made the Smoothest/Fastest 2.1 rom i've ever seen.
But leave noobnl alone people should know the risk of testing for him and im sure noobnl wouldn't do it was pointless

I am not Above the law.. I warned them.. testing something is only way to learn something

4.1 enter fastboot on your phone
(reboot your phone while holding volume down, when fastboot appear on screen press up)
4.2 open a console in that folder (windows users hold left shift and right click, the click on the pull up menu on start command right here)
6 then type. fastboot flash boot CG56.img
7 for good messure type fastboot -w (this will whipe your data, sometimes it wont boot your phone unless you wipe data)
8. fastboot reboot
if you are on 2.3.4 you can find the boot.img in the same thread as fastboot.

Thanks for this, I know a few will need it.

Thanks for fixing this kholk, I knew you could do it!

Perhaps changing the title to "guide for those that rushed into something without fully understanding it yet" , Would be a little more appropriate as it seemed to work for at least one person

the one person that it worked for was trolling yall, this will not work. this is made iwth an older, way older 3 versions behind 1.8.3 kernel source, this woudnt work if you lit it on fire. [edit] kholks kernel that is.
but yes, no problems, i figure a how to guide on how to fix it would be a nice thing, you see even tho yall hate me, im gonna SHARE!

If kholk really did post a bogus kernel he should be **** kicked. Not to mention, perma banned from XDA-DEV.

Unless there is some mysterious solution none of us have yet discovered, it doesn't work. Shockingly similar to his OC module and kexec module. Fortunately, neither of the first two caused people to softbrick their phones

i dont think he posted a bogus kernel, he just posted a kernel using a really really old kernel source, all you little kholk worshippers (not saying you are) when running get it.
the lesson here, dont just start flashing s*it on your phone if you dont know what it is or what it do, just cause you think the dev is cool. he aint.

I've got a Bell/International Atrix so everything after and including the big bootloader unlock excitement I haven't been able to participate in.

What a little prick. He's always pulling bull **** like this. I think he should be perma banned. That's tasteless.

Nope not attempting to Troll at all, I feel his title is though. I don't know kholk at all but he seems to know his stuff especially when it comes to the Tegra2 platform. He does seem to be poor at is full instructions or descriptions but it is also listed as version 0.1, to me thats not even Beta yet. So although it may not work right now for all we know at this point there could be a simple fix.
My point was simply don't attack someone because you rushed in to something without fully understanding or with the idea that it will work 100% when no claim was made to that. Offering to help others who made the same mistake is fine & admirable but does it have to come with sarcasm and veiled insults?

Holy hell guys.... Anyone who's already tried to flash this without a FULL understanding of what it is/does - and HOW to correctly install it deserves the soft-brick they got... You chose to flash something untested and unverified. Live with the consequences! Its funny to sit back and watch people JUMP and claw at this stuff to be the first person to have it and get it working - then piss and moan when something doesnt work. I find it hilarious actually lol. The only person to blame is yourself for flashing blindly

I was probably the 2nd person to flash this... I didn't piss & moan.. I was understandably anxious when my phone soft bricked, but I fully understood the risk. But someone had to be the first, someone had to test it... I didn't go bashing Kholk on his own thread, I asked questions of what to do, and thanked the one who directed me to the CG56.img file. After that I again questioned to see if anyone had successfully flashed the kernel. I have since requested a moderator temporarily close the thread until the Dev can update and/or correct the OP, or answer questions posted on his thread.

How many views does it take for thread to be locked? (Hint: it's over 9000)

The download link is down, Can someone kindly post another.

Two questions from a complete idiot (me) if you please.
1. What is Soft Brick? I mean, what is the state of phone called Soft Brick?
I understand the Hard Brick (RIP state) is the phone totally unbootable.
2. The above procedure works only for a unlocked boot loader or with the locked also?
