[mdeblaz]

[surgeon0214]

OK it says "<SEND> FastBoot Mode" and <VOL UP> Recovery"

 

[surgeon0214]

[theboo7]

Send

 

[surgeon0214]

OK we'll see what happens

 

[theboo7]

[surgeon0214]

I pressed send, it asked <VOL DOWN> HBoot Mode, i pressed vol down and it all started over again

 

[surgeon0214]

Ok, renamed to PB00IMG.zip, same results. Got the ! and had to remove the battery and reboot.

Is it just me, or does it look like vzwsupport on Twitter just bailed?

 

[andrizoid]

Nah, "ZC" probably got fired, I bet the security guards as escorting him out of the building as we speak.

 

[surgeon0214]

My results were it checked for the PB00IMG.zip, found it, checked contents, asked for Fastboot, and started over again, tried it multiple times and still same result

 

[theboo7]

f-ck
okay have you tried another one or the same one?

 

[andrizoid]

thats because the hboot is probably the same version of the one on the 2.1.3
hboot is actually what loads it from my understanding.


looks like you are all still outta luck.
time for refurbs all around?


my choice of complaint a few weeks ago was the trackball.

Can you still get a replacement if you don't have the insurance? I am annoyed that they said "Oh yeah, leak is fine, you'll still get the OTA", then they say that the leak will void your warranty. Color me annoyed.

which link are you using?

i was on the leak, 2.1.3, had insurance but i got it replaced under the warranty, faulty hardware. just go in, tell them your problem but dont say anything about the leak. if they ask about the leak just say you got the OTA message and upgraded and thats all you know about it


before the OTA was released i got my refurb. took it into the store and the rep noticed the pinch to view. she told me it was pretty cool and asked if i could make her eris do that

walked out of the store with a new eris and rooted it before i was even in the car

 

[surgeon0214]

which link are you using?

The last one that verizon posted on twitter

 

[lilxerolil]

Well..I'm sold. 2.1v3, here I come.

 

[andrizoid]

wtf? no dude. this whole thread is about people wanting off of 2.1.3 so they can root.


edit. sorry that was mean.

 

[lilxerolil]

Do you honestly believe the Twit-rep for Verizon's "support"? Attempting to flash your phone back to 1.5 isn't going to work. Not unless someone can find a full-functioning, signed ROM that is willing to overwrite software that is more up-to-date.

If people want back on 1.5 (or the 2.1 OTA, for that matter) that badly, their best bet is to either complain about an issue with the phone (silent, battery, trackball, or whatever other problem you may have) and have insurance, or just pay for a new/refurbished one.

 

[theboo7]

with insurance you pay the $50 right??
