Root *MORE* Reliable root for leakers has been found

[hallstevenson]

There's a new thread over at XDA with a method that supposedly anyone, including those with leaked updates, can root their Eris. It involves a lot of command line typing and the initial followers were running into a lot of mistakes but it now appears that the instructions are updated and I saw one person who's gotten root.

Positive is, no stupid inserting/removing the SD card with some voodoo-magic timing req'd.

The "other" forum. You know, the real one.

Edit:

LOL You guys are so cranky. Yes XDA

And it should work for ANY HTC device. It was taken from the EVO root method.

Good Luck

BTW, I do not take any credit whatsoever for this root method. I'm just being a messenger.

...Thanks for nothing?
Are you talking about xda?
what are you talking about?
Not to be an ahole but what do you mean?

 

[thetingster]

Ya some more info would be great.

 

[namu1107]

Wow....... that's all I can say... wow...

 

[scary alien]

Wow! This is pretty cool. Way to go wag3slav3 and XDA!

FYI, there are at least two (maybe four) 1.47.0000 users that cannot root due to "main version is older!" error messages...hope this works for them too...

 

[homeeconomicalengineer]

Please enlighten us with your wisdom....

 

[scary alien]

Nice.

I also just posted in one of the threads in the all-things-root-eris forum that there are at least two (maybe four) 1.47.0000 HBOOT users that cannot root due to "main version is older!" error message. Looks like this method should work no matter what HBOOT version you have (i.e., not just for leakers?).

Hopefully, they are following the threads re. this should they still wish to root...

Well, thanks for the effort to notify. I had only been reading Tereg's thread (on XDA), and handn't seen this new information. So this is news to me.

Funny that now we have like 3 possibly 4 ways to root this phone.

Original 1.5 > 2.1 root
Possible evo/flash lite method
Reboot and scan for recovery mode
and this new method.

Do this work for Macs?

Why would you want to root your Mac?

 

[AdrianC14]

Why would you want to root your Mac?

lol, I meant can you root your Eris with this method using a Mac?

Yeah, that was a dumb joke, I'm aware of that. Seems like at least part of it would need to be modified for a Mac.

 

[Tooleman694]

No!! Macs can only surf the net and read email..

Go to Macrumors and tell them that.

I was able to root using the new method and I am on 2.1 v3. I've never been so happy to see Amon Ra's recovery!

 

[rvpartsguy]

good news for me, cuz now i send my defective rooted eris back and still be able to have root ......

hate the track ball BTW

Ah, I guess I'll just use my crappy dell laptop.
