Can I root my old Eris if it doesn't have Verizon service? I have upgraded to the Bionic and I would like to practice rooting the Eris before I try it on my Bionic, is this possible?
It is possible - but the rooting methods for the Eris and the Bionic are a bit different.
It would be far better to have WiFi, as access to the market will make the process far easier. If you have a stock Eris that is asking to be activated, I believe if you start the activation and then cancel several times it will give up and allow you to access the home screens, and from there (after you set up WiFi) you can get the files that you'll need to complete the rooting process.
Again, though, I believe that the Bionic is very, very different.
Thanks for the reply.
I haven't really looked into rooting the Bionic all that much since it's a fairly new phone and I wouldn't do it till it got a little more outdated. I just wanted to mess around changing roms and not have to worry about messing up my phone.
After I activated my Bionic I realized that I wanted to look back at my Eris for something and I was able to get to the home screen and open any app that I had on it at the time I switched. I'll have to see if I can get WIFI to work on it tonight.
