That's weird. Careful you get the right version of PB00IMG. The one at the top of that thread is leak v1, not leak v3. Anyway, if you're still having trouble un-rooting, you might have to do it the old-fashioned way: un-root to 1.5 following the original "downgrade" instructions, and then upgrade to 2.1 by putting the OTA zip (renamed to update.zip) onto your SD card.

Yeah I may do that. I'm using the "patched version."

That's v1. Don't do that. I can't find v3 here on XDA, so search android forums for it instead. I'm pretty sure it's on the first or second page because there have been recent references to it.

Sending Verizon a Hacked Phone

what are the consequences of sending verizon my rooted eris for a refurb and should i put it back to stock before i do ?
are there going to be extra charges ?
just downgrade it to the stock 2.1 (or even 1.5) rom and you'll be fine.
The consequences are that they will take it back no questions asked then give you a ****ty 2.1 phone back with 1.49 locked boot loader then you will have to sit and watch this board on your phone with the faint hope that someone figures out how to root it one day in a way that does not involve you poping your SD card in and out about 700 times in the faint hope that it works once!

you can install a non-rooted room over top and lose root. if you decide to not hand it over, the bootloader doesnt change, so you can re-root it again if need be.

You might have to mess with your drivers to get your phone and pc to see each other. Try deleting your drivers, unplug phone, plug it back in and try to reinstall the drivers from sdk.

Think I bricked my phone.

So, I did an idiot thing and flashed the last Meanrom I believe version 4.0. The idiot part was that I flashed Leedroid Tweeks De-odexed version. Well, now my phone only boots to the HTC screen. When I hold volume up while powering on the phone, it takes me to HBOOT, and then looks for updates. If I cancel the update, it says reboot. If I do the updates, it says reboot. Can anyone help me get my phone working or am I out of luck and have to buy a replacement? (I tried posting this in the Meanrom thread, but I don't have enough posts to post in there).

It doesn't give the option to go into recovery on the HBOOT screen. It should say Fastboot
Recovery
Reboot
or something like that. You didn't brick it, just messed up the ROM partition by flashing incompatible things. You just need to reflash the ROM or another one in recovery.
Great, I will try that on my lunch. A buddy of mine is going to get an adapter for my micro sd to be a full size sd card. I will then put that in the computer and see if I can delete the file you mentioned. Thank you very much for the reply. I will post back if this fixes my problem.

If you saved your backup on your computer, move that onto your phone and just flash it in CWM recovery.
Since your friend says he didn't do anything with the phone, it means you can't proceed by troubleshooting, since you don't have enough information to start with. So I would suggest that you enter download mode and flash back to stock, or stock plus root, and start over. You should do a wipe data/factory reset after you flash back to stock. You will have to reconfigure your phone, but most likely that is the most inconvenience you will experience.
Thanks a lot guys!!!! Up and running again! Wow I thought for sure I was going to have a stroke!! I knew someone would come thru for me!! You all are great!! Lesson learned. Never ever let someone else use your phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Rezound wont turn on

Well I've really done it this time. The phone will not power up at all. Ever since the whole Google Maps Rebooting issue the phone has been worthless. It hasn't been able to be turned on in a week. Just black screen. Before it completely failed it would boot, but after about 10 seconds it would restart or power off.
I have a feeling that the battery is not charging. When I plug it in to charge the orange battery led lights up but for only a couple of seconds and then it turns off. Maybe I need to get an external charger or something to charge my battery.
I would love to send the phone back for warranty, but I'm unlocked and rooted, so I am afraid that they won't help me out with warranty. Also, I would love to sell the phone, but obviously I'm not going to sell a phone that doesn't work.
If I could just get the phone to turn on so I can get some of my personal documents off of it that would be great. For some reason the phone stopped syncing contacts a few months ago and I need to get these off of the phone. Anyway. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for any help/ideas.

Rename to PH98IMG.zip, put on the root of the external SD, boot to bootloader and it will do the rest automatically. Make sure you delete the file from the SD after you're done so you won't have trouble in the future.
EDIT: It might reboot two or three times during the installation and look like it's doing some things multiple times. That's normal, so don't panic.

Flashing the RUU will get you phone back to 100% right out of the box stock.
it will update your hboot to 2.27 and lock it.
it will wipe internal storage.
it will give you global firmware and kernel.
all you need to do is relock the device via fastboot command " fastboot oem lock"
then place zip on root of the sd card and rename it to PH98IMG.zip
boot into hboot and it will detect it.
first flash will update hboot, firmware, kernel, splash, radio
it will reboot automatically. (back to fastboot)
then go back to hboot and let it run one more time. (this will take a while as its wiping, formatting, then installing system files)
after its all complete it will boot the phone into the os.
Ok, I'm going to go for this tonight when I get off work.
Hopefully the RUU OS stops the rebooting problem I am having. I am currently running Scott's Clean ROM. I was working great since about May, but now even after a few wipes and re-installs, it still has the reboot bug. Phone won't stay on for longer than 5 minutes and it continually reboots and quickly drains the battery. Basically it is unusable. I was able to flash Amon Recovery and that did fix the charging issue, but it didn't help with the reboots.
Hopefully after the RUU it's back to stable.
