My GF has a Eris that Received the 2.1 OTA a couple weeks back and wants me to Flash it... Can i use the same procedures as i would on a 1.5 Stock Eris? Or is it not possible to root a 2.1 OTA?
yes you can use the same procedures of rooting the 1.5 as you can the 2.1 ota

hi
now iam using modaco custom rom 3.1
can i upgrade my hero to 2.1 which is gonna release on april?
Are there any steps to do that or just download that file from htc site and run it?
I think that should work fine, but it will not be rooted anymore i guess?
from what i gather you'll irreversibly lose your root access if you upgrade to the official one. Something about improved security. Wait a bit and the rooted version of the stock rom would pop up somewhere.
do i need to create any goldcard to upgrade?
or goldcard process is only used to downgrade from custom rom to 1.6 official version?
So I have read that users that get the OTA 2.1 update are able to downgrade back to 1.5. Now my question is; (being this is true and factual) If leakers do end up receiving the OTA 2.1, would we be able to downgrade to 1.5 and then root?
I know most leakers that are anxious for OTA 2.1 are wanting to leak. Myself included. Which is why I figured this question would be helpful to keep our hopes alive!
Thanks!
You should do a bit more reading. The leaked versions changed the hboot to 1.49. To root you need to have 1.46 or 1.47. There is currently no way to downgrade 1.49.

Ngmanis, it depends on how, if ever, they deliver the OTA to leak users.
It's very possible that they do what they did for 1.5 users and send them an update file without a new bootloader, and they could do the same for 2.1 leak users.
If they do this, leaked users will not be able to downgrade to 1.5 nor will they be able to root.
If, however, they release a method to downgrade to 1.5 (which would have to involve downgrading the bootloader) then you should be able to root from there.
can i downgrade 2.1 do 1.5?
and where to find 1.5 android os
To download from a 2.1 custom rom to a stock 1.5 rom simply download a new rom here:

If your on a generic phone choose the last one in the list. You will be asked to input your serial number, this is to ensure you get the right rom for your phone.
This will revert your phone back to the Sep 11 2009 update (1.5).

you can't and you lost the root
i wait the official eclair rotted by our chefs
ok...tks...will wait for the rooters to crack it open
It may be a long wait or never that the bootloader gets unlocked on the 2.1 RUU.
HTC have really tried to lock that rom down. Once you have root access its always best to stick to custom roms, the warning was on this site for months now.
I just revert my hero from 2.1 update 1 to stoc 1.5 hero UK JUSt by flashing with the old stock rom.
this is nice!
Hi. a new user here.
recently i did an official 2.1 update via the ota.
1) is it true that after the official 2.1 ota update, i cant root my phone?
2) if true, is there any possible methods for me to go back to os 1.5 and update via the 2.1 roms.
thanks alot!
I have a HTC Evo 4G with software version 3.30.651.3 from an OTA update. Is it possible to downgrade to the stock 3.30.651.2 rom then root the phone or is it to late to do anything after I accepted the OTA update?
I am trying to root my phone and use the stock rom. I am looking to root so that I can use OpenVPN. Any help would be great.
