That the recovery for the phone

[Bob Dammit]

That is the Stock recovery for the phone. You can have root, and the stock recovery on an Eris. What method did you use to root?

this is wahat i used before, i had to get a new phone cause the last one stopped getting text so they can me a new one.

This link should be helpful - [GUIDE] Root and flash Android 2.2 Froyo on your Eris!

I am also going to move this thread to the Eris Section

The link to the 1 click root is in that post as well.

your not understanding that i cant put the phone in recovery, when i push the power and vol down botton it goes to the hboot screen where i push vol up and then i get the red ! inside the red triangle every time. this is the prob that im having. so i cant even to to the spot i need to to open the zip file..and if i push power and vol up to go right to the recovery spot i get the same thing

OK, I understand now. Have you confirmed you have root access through the terminal emulator?

[paddyo75]

where do i find that

[Bob Dammit]

Download terminal emulator from the market. (Its a free one).
Open it up, and at the comand prompt, type su and hit the enter key. Your prompt will change from $ to # if you are rooted. IF it changes, download "Quick Boot" from the market. It will give you the option to boot to recovery.
