Also, before I wipe, should I back-up?

I mean other than pictures, what am I at risk of losing if all of my contacts are Google synced.
 Grin thanks for being so patient. I'm real excited to root, I just wanna get it right.


The back up is in case you want to go back to your original 2.1 settings. Everything will be saved, including how you had everything set up (your home screen, your settings, all that jazz).

If you ever want to flash a different ROM always back up in case you don;t like the ROM or there is a problem. That way you can always just go into recovery and get everything back!

It may be a little easier for you to understand the ROM question this way... (this is how I do it). Download the ROM from your PC (leave it zipped), plug your phone into your PC and mount it as a USB drive. Drag and drop (or copy and paste) the zipped ROM onto your SD card. Do not put it in a folder, just in any free space on the card.

Your SD card should look like this (with whatever ROM(s) you have on there).

Pull the battery, boot in to recovery, flash the ROM again. Occasionally you get a bad flash and you will get that bootloop.

First, the only way to get FroYo on your Eris is to r00t. I only recommend to r00t when you really want to have something the vendor is not able (or willing) to give you.

To r00t, see these instructions

http://www.droid-eris.com/tutorials-corner/one-click-root-for-eris/

To load a FroYo ROM, my personal preference is Nonsensikal. Currently on v10.1 is really solid, fast and with very good battery life.  Cool

http://www.droid-eris.com/the-fantasik-rom-project/(rom)-froyo-alpha-test-'nonsensikal'/

There are some other nice FroYo ROMs, like Kaos or Tazz, but Nonsensikal is my favorite.


*** WARNING - Before loading a ROM you have to do a wipe. Be sure to backup whatever you need ***

To flash the ROM, just copy the ZIP file to your SD card. Don't put it on any folder, just on the SD card.

Reboot the phone. Select RECOVERY and the phone will boot on recovery mode (green menu)

Select WIPE and do a Dalvik wipe and full wipe (did you remember to backup?)

Press the VOLUME DOWN to return to the main menu

Select FLASH from SD card, select the Nonsensikal ZIP file you copied there (will be the one to select).

The flashing will take about a minute.

Reboot and you are good to go.  Smiley

Hope this helps

Hey guys I wanted to drop a thank you for the guide. I rooted my Eris with Kaosfroyo v38, and its amazing what a difference it made in the phone.

The only issue I had with it was that the stock rom drained the battery within 3 hours of installation. After reading this thread twice and doing some looking the answer was flashing CFS v8 which seems to have mostly solved the issue. This is where the problem was. Despite the info here I was having visions of rebuilding a kernel (its been 10 years since I've done much with linux). Luckily its much easier than I thought.

So for those of you reading and who are new to this.

Grab the CFS v8 package and drop it on your SD card
Reboot phone in Recovery mode
Do a dalvik wipe
Back out to menu
Flash zip from SD card
Pick the CFSv8 file
Wait a couple mins
More battery life!

Thanks again everyone

Off the top... Im a viiiirgin at this. 1st root ever! or at least trying... I know early in the thread it talks about the track ball not working on the recovery screen...
Ive pushed what i needed and ran the script only to sit at "reboot.." on the recovery page.
I went to the website stated and looked for a recoveryimg and couldnt find it..? Am I doing it right? I thought id copy and replace the recovery.img in my sdk/tools folder!?
This is where Im stuck.  I just need someone to "walk" me through repalcing the recovery.img that the post is talking about.. How and where!?!

Im loosing my mind and I know this thread is old but im trying to root and hit up GSB.

So your trackball doesn't work?

The non trackball tutorial is only for once you've rooted. To see if you have, look here: http://www.droid-eris.com/all-things-root/having-trouble/

Used root checker and I am rooted though I wasnt at first, just wouldnt go past the cecovery screenmaily becaue i could move the track ball.. So I used a different method (PB00IMG) and though my eris is back to factory (worry about that later) I am rooted now.

...and still cant get the track ball to work on the android recovery screen..(mind that the track ball works great everywhere else)  still need to wipe all and flash my ROM..

Any ideas on getting the track ball rolling... literally

Well if it works everywhere else it should work in recovery.

I'm not sure why that would happen..

Praise the GODS...  I did it..  10 hrs later and reading every forum in world!  I had to fastboot flash a new recovery image from pc via CMD ( recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img) and PRESTO!  I could use the trackball...  though it took a hundred turns to move one line.. oh well.  THEn..  ROM cherry popped! Flashed CM7's GSB... 10 cups of coffee and a masive headache and Im done!

.......... Im going to sleep...
