Pure ignorance - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need help!!! I'm new and used unlockr.com to root my phone since it had step by step instructions. Well I was successful at the root part but I'm stuck at loading a custom Rom. My command prompt makes me put cd c:/AndroidSDK/AndroidSDK/tools to get anywhere, which is not the way he showed it. I downloaded the flash and recovery image in the sdk tools folder and on my SD card. My comp reads an android abd interface. I installed 2.1 & 2.2 platforms on sdk manager. In my c: I put abd device and it gives me a serial number but it will not let me do the rest of the instructions such as adb shell,etc. I really would be indebted for some help. I'm using windows vista 32-bit.

I've never even heard of unlockr.com. I went there and it's some random search website. Did you just search for how to root the Eris from that website? I'm confused.
Anyway, I think you're making things too complicated for yourself. Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742228
That should give you everything you need as far as rooting and installing the Amon RA recovery image all in one go.

I certainly will. Thanks for the help. Yes, I googled how to root and that was what seemed easiest.

No problem. I know it can be a little daunting weeding through all the information on here.

What is a good all around custom Rom? And could anyone steer me in the right direction to maybe a list of Rom if there is one available?

i used the unlockr version and i ended up having to look at other sources as well because i was quite confused head over to eris dev. thread and several are there..... Tazz v6.....CELB 1.9.....KaosFroYo....these are the 2.2ish ROMS

Search for jcase's Known ROMS, hacks, and patches. It's in the Eris dev section. I'm using Eris lightning 3.02 and it works very well for me. A good strong reliable 2.1 sense based Rom with 710mhz overclock and apps2sd working perfectly. The few 2.2 froyo Roms are good, but not quite there yet. You can go to Android.grdlock.net to find the downloadable links to all the Eris roms.

This isnt said enough.

Thanks for whoever put all this stuff together. I have no idea really what I am doing, other then using software created by other peoples time. I am really impressed with this 2.1 root update. I followed the sticky at the top of the page, and it worked with a few minor variations (using crappy ol vista).
Anyway thanks to all who put this together.
Based on the lil bit of knowledge Ive gained so far, I should assume that my phone is rooted 2.1 if I followed the sticky to a T, and if any future roms become available I should be able to upgrade to them because its rooted, correct?

there are custom rom's out already .......
as for root, did you install amon's recovery ? if so try booting into it just to make sure you are rooted and have recovery installed right ..... I myself took the easy way and used grdlocks scripts .....
I used the tutorial on dev section, based on grdlock and yes I have the recovery image partition. any reccommendations on different roms that r safe? or is the one I'm using pretty good overall in terms of stability.

All the major roms out there are going to be safe.

Root questions

Hey guys, I'm not so new around here, I have trolled for a bit, not stealing stories, just reading and learning. I know that you cannot at present time go to root from leak, that you can't roll back from leak to 1.5. Or make the phone turn into a motodroid. My question is this. I just got a new Eris today, my last one, which was leaked, seemed to have usb port problems in the last few hours, so I am at 1.5 again, I am going to root this time, now.... should I download the 2.1 OTA update that VZW is offering me right now and then root, or root right off the bat?
OTA has the same features as leak v3. just root and get an awesome Rom.
Sent from my Eris using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
I didn't know if there would be a reason for me to OTA before rooting, such as radios and stuff like that

ROOT!! You can download the latest radio from the OTA from this forum and flash it. There is no benefit from doing the OTA first.
I'm trying to use EMA and it isn't working, Windows 7. When it comes to restarting the phone it isn't finding pb000img.zip
edit--- nm I figured out what I was doing wrong, I had changed the sdcard to disk drive instead of leaving it at charge only r00ting now
well for the ema, for support go to my thread, or hop in our irc server. info at bottom of signature.
but for the app, the phone never needs to be out of charge only mode. make sure the .exe and the ema_files folder are at the root of your c:\ drive
Eclips3 you did a great job on that program. Im rooted and even learning the sdk some. I appreciate this.

Introduction to xda

Hi, my name is Travis, I've been a verizon slave since 2009 with the bb storm. Moved to a droid then x and x2. I'm currently on an incredible 2 and I hate it. Through much push and pull, I got to keep my service on the incredible and also keep an x2 along with a free extended battery.
I rooted 2.3.5 on the x2 and now looking into roms. My software learning curve isn't steep so I thought I'd send a shout out to the devs and members here. Looking into finding a great rom for the x2 withing the next few day.
Oh yeah, I'm leaving in a month for basic in the AF, going into cyber surety(basically legal hacking) and looking forward to it.
Thanks for reading, I'll be around!
Welcome. Every one here is awesome and will help if you need it.
Most all x2 roms are built on 2.3.4
Eciplse is on 2.3.5 though, and is a very good, stable rom.
If you want more excitement than try some of the ics, cm9 based roms. Just know that they are buggy and being worked on. Aokp, paranoid android, and of course cm9.
Cm7 is much more stable then th ics builds and could easily work as a Daily driver.
Good Luck.

I was thinking about the eclipse rom, It looks really nice. It will take a bit. I'm still reading and this forum is huge. I haven't found the "how to" thread yet on roms. Sure I'll find it. Thanks for the warm welcome.
I would check out the Cm7 rom thread. It has some good links to the guides you want as far as sbf, root, nandroid backup and bsr(aka cwm recovery).
Eclipse won't let you down.
If there is anything I can help you with, then don't hesitate to pm me.
Sent from my DROID X2 using xda app-developers app
Welcome aboard sir, and as an AF vet good luck with your service and thank you for stepping up.
As for roms you will find much more action happening with the 2.3.4 build as others have already mentioned. CM7 & 9, PA, AOKP are all based on 2.3.4.
You will absolutely want to find the "How to SBF" thread and get setup for doing an SBF. To my knowledge no dx2 has ever been "hard bricked" but "soft bricking" can and does happen which means SBF is your salvation as of course is nandroid backup. And my last piece of advice would be to make a nandroid backup of 2.3.4 Stock/Rooted, particularity if you are a"flashaholic" as some of us are on here...lol
Anyway welcome to the friendliest forum on XDA. :beer:

+1 for eclipse since it is the most stable and sounds like you wont have much time for figuring out any bugs that may occur on the ICS based Roms since you will be serving our country lol. Good luck, and thanks.
Wow. Thanks for all the warm wishes and thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'll be sure to post back about my Rom upgrade.
I like cm7 for the customizations, I have used eclipse for awhile and it's fantastic as well but i always find myself floating back to cm7. Just curious, there seems to be great roms for the dinc2, what about it did you not like?

I tried going into recovery from start up and it just held up with the android icon and exclamation point in the triangle...for a really long time. OR cant I apply 235 with RSD and achieve the same thing

First off...welcome! And now on to your question.
After rooting, protecting root with voodoo, and temp unrooting:
Just take the OTA update to 2.3.5 by going to System Updates in Settings-About Phone. Then restore root using voodoo and delete backup.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
System update is the easiest way but to answer your question yes you can just use rsd to get on 2.3.5 b418 because 2.3.5 is now rootable. You don't have to do the long method via voodoo ota rootkeeper any more.

Wow I feel like I've been struggling for nothing. I was already on a rooted version of 235
I also want to ask about the eclipse pack, it should be an unzipped file on my sd card correct? I'm reading around and I see "zipped" and "unzipped." This is my first rom so I need to be sure.
Thanks again.

If you have already SBFed and are going to do it that way then yes. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707 for any future questions about SBFing or just ask. If you are already on 2.3.5 then there is no need to sbf because you can just root 2.3.5 now.

[Q] Requesting assistance with CWM recovery

Hey guys and gals (although I suspect mostly guys =|)
I have become a noob. A few years ago I was fully into this with flashing and modding scene with the Huawei ideos 8150 phones, done as a service on a local auction website, mostly as many found they were too slow.
After doing this for about 6 months I dropped it as I went into study, my pc has been formatted numerous times since and I can't for the life of me remember what the Android software is called that directly interacts with the linux subsystem on the phone/device.
Why? I now have a T-mobile Galaxy S Vibrant (SGH-T959) and i've been trying to get CyanogenMod 10.0 onto it.
I have rooted the phone thru SuperOneClick via pc (as Z4root would crash).
I have installed OCLF v2
Android system is curently Froyo 2.2 (krnl 2.6.32.9)
I am able to successfully flash the clockwork mod recovery but please see attachment View attachment 1636948
The phone automatically re-installs the default recovery apk's when the recovery menu is launched. Why?
I have taken a look at alternatives like heimdall and odin to flash the ROM but i'm not at all confident because I've never had a ROM fail to flash, so I'm in-experienced at recovery
I'd really appreciate your help on this - I've done research into why this might be happening, but those cases seemed to be unique down to other factors..
I am not familiar with OCLF v2???
Here is a guide with files etc. The issue you are having is because of froyo more specifically android recovery 3(e). The easiest thing to do IMO is Odin back to stock, that takes care of recovery issue, root again then use the update.zip from this guide.

Hey
OneClickLagFix v2 makes an external ext3 directory for swapfiles and prog access or somehting, it's pretty amazing and it sped up I/O via Quadrant by 1600 points making ythe phone so fast it can't complete the boot animation because it's already loaded
Thanks for that guide too, Imma work thru that one shortly
1) You mean the kernel?
2) Recovery doesn't use apks. It's a binary program that runs without the OS. Apks are used within the Android OS, for example being either apps or components like the status bar.
Visit the CyanogenMod wiki for a full update guide for the Vibrant (there's a link in the nightly thread under "from Samsung stock")

Oh wow, a reply form the mod-god himself . I am honored!
I ended up following a poorly written guide to mod my Vibrant from Android 2.3 to JFD using ODIN. Flashed update.zip which seemed to give me a temporary CWM recovery, next reboot it was back on stock. Tried again and the CWM recovery stuck.
Phone is currently running CyangogenMod 10.1 with gapps-jb-20121212-signed as is running amazingly well.
I realize that I've flashed a nightly build of 10.1 and using it as a daily driver was not recommended, but so far it's flawless with the expcetion that I haven't yet tested GPS and I haven't found how to get Google's own navigation software back. I'm a computer tech who often visits customers homes, so fairly important that it works

Most of the CM work comes from the Galaxy S-line work done by pawitp, and the work done by others in the CyanogenMod team and Gerrit.
You can get Maps from the Play Store.

[Q] Requesting Help With Bootlooping E970

Hey guys. I am not from around here. You will normally find me hanging out in the Nexus forums. I need some help trying to correct an issue my noob buddy caused on his E970. He brought it to me today in a boot loop and apparently he rooted it an uninstalled some GAPPS and now he has this security error and BL. Now, so far I have managed to install the drivers..... that's it. I have worked on a variety of different devices but I am really having trouble with this. I think the issue is I can not find a thread that is comprehensive enough to explain what alot of the different tools are and what they do. I mean there is
1. LGNPST
2. Teenybin
3. Freegee or something like that
Then there about 14 different file types depending on the tool you are using. I have seen;
1. dll
2. bin
3. kdz
4. tot
I have to be honest with you guys this is confusing as hell. I keep coming across dead links and old downloads and stuff that may not work. I REALLY don't like using stuff not linked from XDA as that is all I've known for many years (not to say other sites aren't reputable but you never know) I can follow instructions and figure out most stuff on my own but due to the in completion of alot of this stuff and dead links I am kinda stuck I am gonna give it another go tomorrow but in the meantime if someone wants to drop me a link or word of advice as to where to at least start it would be awesome. I am pretty handy generally with this kind of thing but I guess that goes to show you sometimes you are only as good as the tools and directions you are working with. Thanks XDA Community! :good:
Okay the first three.
3.lgnpst is the program you will need to use to fix the security error which was caused by removing bloat without unlocking bootloader.
2.teenybin is used with lgnpst to unlock bootloader, update partitions to jb, and install recovery. It doesn't install firmware but could be used to restore if a rom was copied to sd to flash.
3.freegee is used to unlock bootloader and install recovery on a working phone.
Next four.
1.dll are files needed by windows.
2.bin is the extension the file needs to be for using lgnpst.
3.kdz is stock firmware for use with lgflashtool (used mainly for international phones)
4.tot is the extension the stock firmware is released with which will be renamed to bin before using lgnpst.
In the additional info section of teenbin thread there is a click to show content button that will have have links and guide for lgnpst. Use the tSilenzio version and it will register the DLL files on install.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. Someone just to say "these are what these things are and what they do". I do have to admit I don't fault my buddy too much for soft bricking this thing as of all the devices I've rooted or flashed to this seems the most confusing. And also it's very odd that if you remove BW without first unlocking the bootloader you get this error..... Why can't they all just be as easy as a Nexus? Lol.

A few other things that may help.
1.lgnpst is a pain with windows 8
2.it will not work with USB 3.0
3.be sure to right click lgnpst exe and run as admin
I got my OG right after release but had already been following forum, and would hate to have to jump in now and try to figure things out.

Well its especially difficult when someone just brings you a phone and you've never even seen it booted up and you don't know all the weird quirky rules it has (like if you uninstall GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader then you get a bootloop.) lol Otherwise it seems like a solid phone. It has almost the same specs as my Nexus 4.

Yes, once you're unlocked & rooted you will be good to go. I would recommend flashing an established rom and installing the GApps that are recommended. It would be a lot more convenient and less of a hassle.
Make sure you are using TWRP, CWM was causing bugs with flashing of some roms. Hope this helps.

Yes, once you're unlocked & rooted you will be good to go. I would recommend flashing an established rom and installing the GApps that are recommended. It would be a lot more convenient and less of a hassle.

Awesome and once I've flashed a good rom. Would that then circumvent any future boatloads caused by modifications etc.? So in other words are those proprietary (catches) cooked out when the devs set up a rom? I would imagine so. I know most of us folks hate that kinda thing... Lol
BTW any tips on a good solid stable Jelly Bean Rom? Would want it to be pretty stable since it's not my phone... Lol

Hey thanks again everyone! Got the phone fixed. A stock AT&T 4.1.2 Rom on there and root privileges intact. Everything is good to go. I actually kinda like the phone a lot.... I really want an LG G2..... Oooh yeah... Thanks again everyone and maybe some one will find the instructions in this thread helpful.
