Root uh oh.....what happened

Dude! You are living right! You might want to hit a casino or buy some lottery tix while you luck holds-out! :D

Seem's like lots of folks have been getting 1.49...(did you go to the store and hand-check the one you wanted?)...

nope. He picked up my phone. Did everything to get it to turn on and said oh well. Handed me a new Eris. and as I walked out, rebooted into hboot and saw the magic 1.47.

maybe i should go buy some lottery tix!!!

JrzDroid,

just a reminder,

After applying the root-PB00IMG.ZIP, start phone with Send+End/Power, and

Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

Don't "experiment" with the fastboot command unless you have complete confidence in what you are doing - it's a rather dangerous/powerful command.

Not too many details, but how?
I've been saying it for weeks, that going to a store for a replacement (may) improve your odds of getting an "older" phone, specifically one with 1.5. They won't move as many phones as VZW's warehouse(s), who clearly have current phones (w/ 2.1 software pre-installed). The ones in the warehouse are likely to be refurbished models too.

yes, i used on demand. No set at boot and had it at 768.
It worked good, random reboots every once in awhile.
Then just rebooted one day and never left the boot screen.
then it was just game over

Did you have a profile set for high temperature, to clock the CPU down to a slower speed? On my ROMs with SetCPU I go into profiles, turn them on, and set the high temp limit at 40C and set speed to 256-ish/128-ish.

doogald,

FYI, I posted something in the http://androidforums.com/all-things-root-eris/98457-overclocking-hmm.html about how when I had my silicone rubber case on while charging, my temp got to 40-degrees (C) rather easily and quickly (9C degrees in 10 minutes)... I upped my temp limit on failsafe just a smidge from 41C to 43C. The temp dropped back down pretty quickly once I removed the phone from the case.

I'm also now charging with my case off of my device. Don't think it would hurt anything if failsafe kicked-in and dropped me down to 245MHz, but I'm sure I would initially be puzzled.

Cheers!
