Eris to v2.x, when?

So I downloaded the update from mediafire but haven't downloaded the patch. Has someone uploaded the patched version or am I going to have to hope that the patch file is still available by the time I get back home?

Not sure what is needed. A few more people are working on it, so someone else apart from the initial guinea pig should be able to provide instructions.

Here's a question: What about the apps we have on our 1.5 phones?
I really hope my apps still work if I take the plunge and jump to 2.1 :thinking:

It's probably a dumb thing to ponder, but I am dead tired, too lazy too think and blah blah blah :cool:

Nah, they should work. Unless explicitly labeled as "1.5 only" or "1.6 only", all apps should open up on 2.1.

Hold off on downloading the file. It looks like a patched version is being upped.

Don't worry, I downloaded this first one already and then saw the post.

Quoting sanfur over at XDA with his patch theory that I think is what we gotta do. Im trying that shit right now.

Well, someone might want to try this. I've gotten the unzip errors to go away, but I haven't tested it on an actual device. Anyone want to try? I've uploaded the (very tiny) binary patch. You'll need the bspatch utility (windows port here: .tSCc. // others). Rename the one you downloaded to something else like PB00IMG-corrupt.zip, and run this:

Code:
bspatch PB00IMG-corrupt.zip PB00IMG.zip eris-eclair.bpatch
That will create a new PB00IMG.zip that is no longer corrupt. Someone test it on a phone and let me know if it works! :)

Hey - new here as well. Been lurking around for a couple months since I got my Eris. So any speculation on if this leak will have any effect on VZW pushing out the OTA sooner? I had a dumb phone prior to my Eris and am not really familiar with how these OS updates go. I have been anxiously awaiting the 2.1 update like everyone else however I am not sure if I want to take the chance on bricking my phone - love the thing to death and its the only phone I have! Maybe this will get them moving on pushing the update?? One can only hope...

Dunno. I understand that 2.1 is running fine, they are just having problems uploading it to their OTA servers. So this shouldn't affect it if that is true.
