About LinkBacksI have an Eris that is still running 1.5 firmware. I bought it off of ebay a couple of months ago, and I still haven't received the update. Called verizon and told me to wait for it to show up and then went to a verizon store and they said there is nothing I can do. Anyone have any ideas or if i can still root it and put froyo 2.2 on it with the 1.5 firmware?

12-04-2010 02:56 PM[GUIDE] Root and flash Android 2.2 Froyo on your Eris!
Check that thread out, should help you, although you will have to root your phone.Anytime someone dares me to walk a mile in their shoes I do it! Because, hey free shoes and I am now a mile away from that person!

12-04-2010 03:02 PMReport back if it works, or if it doesn't, hopefully you figure it out though.

12-04-2010 03:04 PMIf you can root 1.5 you can root your Eris.
There is no benefit or detriment to starting off at 1.5 before putting 2.2 on. Another option would be to follow this guide:
[ROM]KaosFroyo V38 [10/28] [FROYO] - xda-developers will result in you having a modified CyanogenMod ROM installed. -

12-04-2010 04:10 PMAt one time, there WAS an issue with rooting your phone if you weren't running the "stock" v1.5 . The "leaked versions of 2.0/2.1 broke root and patched the exploit. Just download the "HTC Eris one touch Root" app from the market, and you will be set.
I touched Lord Stanley's Cup on 1/2/11.

12-04-2010 05:13 PMI couldn't find the Eris one touch root app on the market so i tried with the one touch root from the file. I think I'm just screwed with having the 1.5 on it because it says "Eris Root could not be performed on this phone."
