Sorry
i still don't understand why people post questions in the Android Development forums instead of the Q & A...like seriously...do they think their questions are considered "Android Development"?

You have not successfully flashed recovery if you get the red triangle. Keep trying.
Slow way down and read the guides more carefully. The fact that you posted this thread under development shows me that you obviously aren't reading directions very carefully.

Hey all!
I was thinking of rooting my eris, but after reading the forum some, I still have a couple questions about Eris rooting and rooting in general.
First off, if I use the one click root app, I will not have to install a new rom, correct? Also, how likely is it to brick my phone? If bricked, is there a method of restoring it?
Secondly, if I install the FroYo rom, would I be able to go back to the factory build of OTA 2.1? Or would I be stuck with custom roms then?
The only reason I am concerned with restoring the factory rom is that if something happens to the phone, I'd like my warranty to still be able to cover it (I'm 99% sure that they won't cover a rooted froyo thats overclocked).
Also, sorry if these have been asked before, I just wasn't able to find them on my own.
You need to ask these questions n the Q&A forum. This is a Dev forum and should only have questions relating to Roms and issues with custom roms.
Get ready for the dog pile.
Uh oh, my bad. I thought it was in the q&a...
Sorry guys, I'll see if I can delete it from the app and repost

wasnt that 4 things?
do you have to be rooted to downgraded to 2.3.3. i want to downgrade to use cm7. thanks.
i am on a mytouch4g.
previous posts talks about being rooted before, i just need some clarification.
thanks.
Need root, S= off, and clock work recovery to flash custom roms.
there are guides in the dev section on how to achieve all this. MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING about this before you start. Don't be like the tons of others who half ass read and end up posting "tried to root phone, won't boot now" threads.

1. Can i root with 2.3.4 ? (heard theres a way, then ppl say its a virus =\)
2. If i have to downgrade can i reload 2.3.4 and stay rooted ?
3. only reason i want to root this phone at this time is because i want the new Google Apps i had the new market and **** before the OTA update... OTA update comes around and now i have the old one again. How can i get the new apps back ?
4. i want this on my phone is it possible from google now a glitchy rom ? http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html

I dont know if I am allowed to post links to other websites but google CyanogenMod wiki for mytouch 4g and click on the full update guide and it will show you step by step how to downgrade and root the mytouch. Then you can flash any of the gingerbread roms you like. Make sure you follow the directions exactly or else you will brick your device. Also make sure the md5 sums match up for each file before you start the process.

lol i was just looking at CyanogenM im really liking the android 4 OS, id like to put that on my phone. i think what i want to do is get the 2.3.4 back(if i cant get Android 4) and have it rooted
You downgrade to 2.2.1 use gfree to obtain s-off then flash clockworkmod recovery and then flash any rom you want. the software number (2.2.1 2.3.4 2.3.5 etc.) Changes with each rom. Now if you look closely 2 posts up you will see the beta 4.0.1 thread we have and above that the sticky where it shows how to downgrade and how to root after that, PLEASE read before searching and search before posting

1. Yes, but it's only temp root and it's a long process
2. Yes, there is a stock GB rooted ROM on the dev page somewhere
3. Don't really understand your question
4. There is an ICS AOSP Beta. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383629
Also, please post in the Q&A or General next time.
Thanks if I helped!

Downgrade to 2.2.1, root, flash whatever rom you want. The thread is easy to find.

Hello all,
I have take my phone in for service and obviously I would like to un-root it. I used the revoltionary method and I follow all the instructions to un-root the best I can but I can disable the fast boot so that the PC36IMG.zip will be read and update accordingly. I am currently running the elite series III ROM in case that has anything to do with it. Anyone have the same issue or can shed some light on what I may have done wrong?
Thanks in advance

First Google search result.
I had an issue with recovery. I think I had to flash amon-ra after the stock rom to get s-on. Can't remember but something to do with the recovery...sorry I can't help more.
This should be in the Q&A section, not the development section, just saying...
