Root Exploit Has Been Found. DO NOT UPDATE FURTHER

[andrizoid]

To me it depends on how stable the official is, if it is awesome ill upgrade, if not im rooting (for live wallpapers and clear lockscreen)

good to know, good to know

I'll ota so I can sell it. Why does everyone want live wallpaper? I don't get it, had those on my glimmer other than making ******ed people go wow I do not see the big deal? And posting this while its still just an idea is kind of just attention whoring I think, unless of course its the op working on the exploit.

i agree, unles you were also overclocked it would be too much of a drain of the phone and makes it SUPER laggy.

Wouldn't the ota be able to be rooted? Maybe not right away but eventually? Sorry, I'm a noob so I don't quite understand rooting that well.

^THIS^ and I know I'm a noobasaurus....what does exploit mean as used in this thread?

 

[theboo7]

my env2 had live wallpapers

as used in this thread it means a possible way to root the eris

That would be interesting to find out, I like the poll idea.

Personally, I'm definitely going to hold off on the OTA. I don't have any major problems with 2.1v3 and I'm certain the OTA would be just as pleasing. However, the potential to gain root access outweighs the fact that I'm content with no bugs. Content, but still feel like there's more I could do.

maybe if it is unclear , state the advantages of gaining "root" and what that means to eris users.

Oveclocking
Apps2SD
Rollback
SU permission for apps-remote wipe, batch uninstalls, cache cleaner, etc
custom ROMS
LWP

those just to begin with

And if you don't understand all those terms he used, it basically means you have complete control over your phone and the ability to make it run faster, smoother, and run and look exactly the way you want it to.

Geez I hope this works though. Been praying for so long I could root this thing. I just look at XDA every day and lust over those many ROMS that are so amazing. Just hope that by the time I finally get it rooted (if this works), that there will be a COMPLETE vanilla rom.

they have come pretty close, there was a rom released not long ago that has basically no sense at all.
for all intents and purposes it IS vanilla

 

[Romparoo]

I would like to root.

Questions:

If you update OTA couldn't you always reload 2.1v3 anytime you want? That would allow you to update to OTA, try it out, and then if you want to go root, just load up v3. Or does it not work that way? Does the official OTA recognize 2.1v3 as a lesser OS and thus doesn't allow 2.1v3 to install?

I'm getting a woodie thinking about it!

Yeah, but is the dialer actually vanilla? Like literally, when you're in a phone call, does it still look like the way it always has, or like the Nexus One or Droid does? Like with the gradient green and black screen?

Looks like a iphone..lol

So a new exploit has been discovered and devs are working on it.

What this means to you.

1. This WILL help for those who leaked to get root.
2. DO NOT UPDATE! This includes to the OTA when it is released.
3. Be patient, this was only discovered today and is only a possible exploit.

Possible root exploit zifnab06.net

So, for us who have already updated to 2.1 are we SOL?

 

[andrizoid]

So, for us who have already updated to 2.1 are we SOL?

no, this is for those of you who updated to 2.1

just dont update anymore lol
dont OTA when it comes out, and dont go onto any other leaks

 

[TDianna]

no, this is for those of you who updated to 2.1

Andrizoid,

Thank you very much! I hope it works......

 

[andrizoid]

no problem.

 

[adrenalinerush12]

Didn't answer my question

 

[AndroidFantic]

I think that those who updated to the 2.1 v3 leak may be SOL because it is the same as the OTA but what would i know they probably didnt patch it

 

[andrizoid]

lol sorry the reply didnt send.

i havent used it so i dont know, i dot like vanilla :/

no, this exploit was discovered AFTER 2.1.3

 

[iLoveAndroid]
