trying to root my eris and getting a red ! with a red trangle

[paddyo75]

has anyone had this problem? or know whats going on? it does it if i hold dowm vol up and power or if i hold down vol dowm and power and then go to recovery

 

[joeybarclay]

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?

 

[paddyo75]

i havent even got to the rooting put, as soon as i try to go to recovery i get it

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

thx for the help but

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]

no i havent

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.

 

[paddyo75]

im not rooted, i know that and it said premission denied

 

[Bob Dammit]

Ok. You need to download the 1 click root program, install it on your phone and run it. That will give you root and a custom recovery. Then you will be able to boot into recovery to flash a ROM.

I don't understand how I can do that if I can't get to the recovery screen

paddy, the one click root is an app. You download that file, and put it on your SD card. Using a program like Astro File manager, you can install it to your phone, then you can run it from your app drawer.
