Hey WormDoes, glad you got an upgrade, but sorry to see you "leave" the Eris, lol! Thank you for the kind words. I'm sure the Incredible will be a great phone for you.

No, wipe / factory reset won't remote the root state of your phone. You should still have 1) the custom recovery partition installed, 2) the su program, and 3) the SuperUser app, and 4) whatever custom ROM you installed (unless you did an in-place root).

I'm sure we'll see you around the forums...stop back by and say "hey" every once in a while.

Cheers!

 

Nah, sounds like you've got the bases covered. By the way, if purchased an extended battery for your Eris (I bought the 1750 one early-on), it will, I believe, fit in your Incredible.

 

No it will not unroot.

Be aware that one thing it will also NOT do is wipe the activation status of the phone - the phone will still be activated on your account, unless you have already told VZW to dis-associate the ESN from your account.

When you perform a "Factory Reset" using a stock HTC Eris, not only does it clear user data and settings, but it also clears the activation data from the phone. Both of these operations are performed by the recovery boot, not the OS boot. Amon_RA will do the first (clear user data and settings), but it will NOT do the latter.

If you sold it as rooted, but don't want to also pass it to the buyer with your VZW account activation status, you really only have two choices:

1) Call VZW and ask them to clear the ESN from your account because you are selling the phone, and/or

2) Unroot the phone completely (e.g. using the XDA "FlashBack21" ROM), perform a F/R, and then re-root the Eris without activating the phone. Rooting without access to the Android Market is a little tricky if you use the "One-Click" or "Dummies" method - you need to get past the initial setup screens, turn on USB debugging, and then manually install the (One Click / Gscript Lite) .apk from your PC using ADB.

Probably doing #1 above and telling the new owner to call VZW with the ESN for registration to their account before trying a *22899 operation is the least-effort method.

You can use the "USB-MS toggle" in Amon_RA to have your way with the SD card (from the PC).

I don't know why you are getting bootloops, unless you were using a2sd and you were only making regular Nandroid backups (instead of Nand+ext), or ???

FYI, I just restored a xtrSENSE 4.6 backup - lordy, it takes forever to boot up... I swear it's slower than CM6, if you can believe that.
