[acidbath5546]

Hello all fellow HTC ERIS/DESIRE users!

Please all Devs and Member dedicated to finding a root!!!
We need your help and support!

Here is some stuff we tried:
Tried: asroot2
Worked (y/n): no
Why?: Hole was more than likely patched.

Tried: Flashrec
Worked (y/n): No
Why?: See above

Tried: Renaming a rom UPDATE.ZIP / PB001ZIP
Worked (y/n): no
Why?: Roms are signed by HTC. We can't sign our own

Tried: http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/8478
Worked (y/n): no
Why?: I don't know. May be something to look further into.

Tried: current->clear_child_tid pointer http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/de...=CVE-2009-2848
Worked (y/n): ?
Why?: Never followed up

Tried: Buffer over run open ports
Worked (y/n): ?
Why?: Suggested by Jmanly, but documentation for an exploit that could work was never found.

Tried: Editing recovery.zip that goes right into the Ruu Worked (y/n): no
Why?: This was trying to use the RUU to our advantage and write a custom recovery image to the phone through it. It didn't work because the modified roms failed a signature check.
