So with the help of a wonderful man named @kryz I was able to dump our init file to him and he is going to be able to setup root for us! This was a lot off help from the DirtyCow threads and the universal utility of it. Also the thread @abine45 made regarding a temp root shell which gave me just the little bit of extra permissions I needed in order to be able to dump our file and get it to him. But seriously @kryz is the **** and you should buy him a coffee even before this comes out just for the hard work he has put into it thus far. Hang in there gang.

Wow, I am super glad I could be of help! Was just about to try something new, but with this I won't have to do anything else. Sorry I wasn't more of a help because I was busy. This is great!!
I'll be checking back regularly to get this baby on MM! Thank you for all your hard work!
Waw thank you alot! What version should we be? I'm on 23A is it okay?
Has anyone checked to see if the exploits still work after the last 2 security updates?
So let me just clarify, I'm on VS99024A. PLEASE DO NOT UPDATE JUST BECAUSE OF MY POST. I'm going to make a guide for the exploit and post it here in our forums so be patient. Trust me I'm as eager as you are. @Haxcid I'm not entirely sure but I bet people will try it But the jist of it is, if I was able to get the DirtySanta exploit to give me temp root, and the DirtyCow exploit is 100% compatible with my firmware then I'm pretty sure it should work for the updates THAT ARE OUT RIGHT NOW. I have no clue about the ones to come. I can guarantee they will patch dirtycow at some point.
So for those of us who pledged, it's almost time to pony up! I can't wait!
Thank you guys for your hard work on this device! I really appreciate it.
holy sh*t!!!!!!
fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!
yeaaaahhhhh baby! you da man!!
Woot!!!
I hope updating to 25A didn't ruin it for me... but fingers crossed.
seems like we got some fresh blood in here! Hats off to guys and gals that do this for the love of doing it.
Hes going on a small vaca but I'm going to try and push for him to get it to us first ;D
Everyone needs beer on vaca! Lol
What are the possibilities of this working on the at&t variant?
Could it be ported?

I have contact with the guy who is helping root, and so far what he's told me is that it should be universal.
Correct it should be universal.
Thanks for the continued effort, many of us are still here and so excited for this!
I knew the "best brains" would find some way to work around the road blocks in Marsh Mellow.
I've got my fingers and toes crossed! The LG V10 is the Best and WORST smart phone I've ever owned. Best for it's outstanding features, WORST because of how Verizon has turned it into a turd by loading it with crapware and BREAKING functionality with sloppy updates.

Hate to say this but my ROM modding days are over, well for the Raphael.
I would like to thank everyone that I have learned from and all the contributors to the forum. Thanks for all of your tools and answering my questions when I was a new at modding ROMs.
Also I would like to thank the users of my work. It is cool to develop something that so many people enjoyed.
And I would like to give a special thanks too all that made donations for the time it took me to create the modded ROMs. I did not get into this for money. When I first started I suggested to donate to XDA instead of myself in my sig. Once my phone had it's little accident I thought to change my sig to what it is currently. I was planning on changing it back to donate to XDA if I ever raised enough for a new phone.
Unfortunately I do not have enough and my phone is totally screwed now. Before I tried to repair my phone I attempted to create ROMs with the help of others testing but it took up way too much time. I managed to rig what was left of my phone together to get into a state where I could have used it for testing purposes. It has now gone competely haywired on me and will no longer run.
So thanks once again to everyone. I will still be lurking around and helping when I can.
Thank you for all your contributons. You will be missed!

Well lets see
Good luck.
Thanks for your great roms..
I always appreciated your work and you were one of the less that was able to cook without giving me the feeling the rom was crappy build. (yes, most rom cookers do create crap....)
If you ever buy a new phone, a raphael of something else, please inform us about it
I want to thank you for your efforts. I have been using your ROM for over a month now and its been great! Good luck to whatever you choose to do down the road
we hate to see you go. Our community will be losing a tremendous asset. If this is the last of you, many thanks and appreciation for all the blood sweat and tears.
If we get to see a triumphant return, then we'll see you live and fight another day.
thanks again, for all your hard work.
i figured there is someone on here that works for ATT that can hook him up.
Sorry to see you go mate, have had a couple of your OEM packages in my kitchen for a while
Always sad to see a Chef who has lost his frying pan...
Hopefully, we'll see you around here again soon.
You were the first ROM I tried, best ROM I tried. Your 5.4 build was absolutely amazing. I appreciate all your hard work, and you responded to every question that was asked, unlike some other cooks here. If you ever do come back, that would be one of the most triumphant returns I have ever seen.
Hey thanks for all the support guys. I will be back whenever I get a new phone. If it is a touch pro or whatever I will be back in the ROM modification game.
I recently went back to school and I have a tight budget so it is not so easy to drop another 400 bucks on a phone again. Maybe after my papers are done and finals I can find some extra work to get some extra cash.
I am still tweaking my 6.5 kitchen to be prepared if something comes along.
Thanks!

Just another "sorry to see you go" comment. You were super-helpful when I was using your ROM and kitchen, and a pleasure to be in touch with whenever I had a question. Here's hoping you get a new phone soon because 1) The community will miss you a lot and 2) Dude, you deserve to have a phone!
im sorry to see you go! I know personally you have been a big help for me in my endeavors. Raphael forums will miss you! Thanks for everything!

Glad to see your ROMs are doing so well!
When I am done with my last exam I will try to create some new 6.5 ROMs. Hope I can catch up to you guys
Definitely a great kitchen! I am going to try this out today. Does the batch file delete all the "useless" files to make the ROM fully stripped down? For instance, mvbarian's kitchen from Kaiser did this and it made it a "lite" version. I would like to do the same with this but I am new to the fuze/raphael. Once again, great job on your ROMs and kitchen.
Since you don't want to stand up and be counted because you are afraid of being PM'd to death, take some time to answer the poll.
I suspect that the current root methods that are being worked on are being worked on by the rest of us and not being touched by the devs.
Prove me wrong, because as far as I can tell, all the devs are rooted and in ROM la-la land not giving two Sh!ts about the rest of us.
BTW - not a leaker. My phone was broken and replaced with a 2.1 RUU with 1.49.0000.

Who the hell are you to tell someone to take some time to do anything for you? Did your mother teach you ANY manners? These people do these things without any guarantee of payment, so unless your gonna put some cash up, I suggest you learn some of said manners.

Amen to that. This is the kind of bullsh** that makes devs run away from our community, not towards it. If you want to ***** at somebody, call up HTC and tell them you can't root your phone. I'm sure they will be VERY sympathetic and offer to send you an Incredible instead.
lol sucks for u
You are a prime example of a entitlement complex. Seriously, they already dedicate all their spare time to us and helping us. If you're so pissy about it, you find out a way and help the community, don't sit there and *****.
I can pretty much guarantee you the SECOND you get root, you won't give a **** about any non-rooted people and only focus on ROMs.
Do you also expect verizon to erect a cell tower near your house and a mini AP in your car so you have perfect service wherever you go?
+1 to everything said above, also learn to search, there is already a root method for 1.49 s-on you idiot. The great devs of our commmunity already found an amazing loop
I LOL at you.
if I were a dev, i would stop working on rooting 1.49 after a post like this.
As a non-dev, I am disheartened to see this type of post in the Development thread. Have you seen the number of posts in the 1.49 leak-root threads? There are currently folks working on two distinct methods of rooting - isn't that proof enough for you? Also, was anyone here responsible for "making" you go to the leaked version? No? Well then why are the dev's responsible for giving you a cookie for the decision you made?
Also, to all of the people that say, "I can't be bothered to read all 100+ pages" or similar - please do. 99.9% of the time you will find the answer to your question within those posts - or hey, try the magical search box.
I personally want to thank the dev's that have been helping us with finding just the right exploit. As you can see, there has been a lot of work looking at the leak, RUU, hboot, and various methods to finally achieve [an easy way to] root the Eris. This community has been extremely helpful, innovative, and downright awesome in helping folks like me learn the ins and outs of the Android System and the Eris. Don't screw it up for the rest of us.
Mean ol' devs..
Y'all BETTER be working on root for Eris, or I'll... I'll..
I'll get REALLY mad..
In all seriousness, the points made in the responses are valid.. Father_Vic chose poor wording to express frustration, and some of his frustrations are borne out of simply being unaware of some things..
Root for 2.1 in general is being sought actively by all sorts of devs and would-be devs. I'm pretty sure there are fewer and fewer devs working directly on Eris, other than to try to make holes found elsewhere a little bit more open to the masses, a la the efforts by Tereg and company.
Are they working on it night and day? Hellz no. After you've tried the same stuff over and over a few times, you move on to either new angles on old stuff, or new stuff, altogether. Otherwise, people call you crazy or naive.
This poll seems like it'd be helpful on the surface, if just to provide reassurance for us poor 1.49ers without root, but the ones that respond affirmatively may or may not be totally clueless when it comes to anything other that running downloaded scripts, and as for the devs that really do understand, well..
Don't worry about this stuff running devs off.. The real devs LOVE to solve problems, because it's like crack cocaine to figure stuff out, and what they really don't give 2 $hitz about is polls..
Can we get this thread moved to General? Not sure that just deleting it would help anybody..
+1 to all said
if you really wanted root than maybe you should learn how to develop and try and find it yourself
I have uncovered the PERFECT root method for 1.49 bootloader. BUT after reading this so called post, I now refuse to ever release it. bwahahaahahahahahahahahahaha
no seriously...come on dude. little...well rude wasnt it.
We (including myself) are all working on it. The root method that exists has an extremely low success rate. We are all trying different things, we are all trying different methods and we are all devoting hours a day to try to bust this thing open. The eris is one of the only phones not rooted by means other than a rooted link. Some of us feel we are going at this alone without any real help from the devs. Plus anytime we have asked if any of the silent devs are working on it or have any suggestions; "flame on" from the rooted majority.
Not entitlement - just wondering if those of us fending for ourselves are getting any help from those who can.
BTW - to assert that we just go ahead and learn what the devs know really is insulting to the devs. All the time, effort, education, and knowledge that they have is not something that we can all just learn to do in a couple of days.
I knew the flame was coming....
Keep going, it actually makes pretty fun reading.

I have a rooted phone, replacement on the way, I'm not getting my hopes up for a 1.47 hboot im sure 1.49 will come unfortunately, and seeing the low success rate with the current root methods I'm afraid im gunna hate my Eris again, and now any devs who were putting their FREE time in to help with something that doesn't even benefit them as they are already rooted. Thanks for pushing people away from helping us, and it's just great that it is all fun and games to u. I understand were u are coming from, but this is just bull crap. thanks for nothin.

Up to this point you seem to almost have found some humility. Keep the attitude portrayed here and maybe send out a few PMs asking for help, politely, you may get somewhere, you may not... I GUARANTEE you get farther than your first post.
And as for some of the rest of your comments, MANY a "dev" has started not with college, but in the exact same place you are.

If it is a referb phone, you have some hope. I just got my Eris replacement (after rooting 2.1), and it was 1.5 with a 1.47 bootloader, so there is some hope.
i was working on root until i saw this post. its idiots like you that piss off the devs and make us go elsewhere.
if you are posting this just for fun, to get the laughs and eat your popcorn, then f&%# off. we dont want you here, demand things from the devs, demanding we speak up so you know who we are. if you really want to know who the devs are, that will most likely be anyone on there with more than 200+ posts. the ones that you know there nicks to because they spend most of their time on here posting to help n00bs like you out getting root, or answering the question of which rom is the best or how to install your bootanimation file.
you really want to know who the devs are? they are the ones that sit in the irc channel all day (chat.andirc.net) and are any of the ops on there, or have a uptime of 72hours straight.
you want me to compose a list of all the devs, and then another list of all the devs working on root for you?
here is that list for you:

I just had a suggestion, we should just make it simple for this fine phone and devs
or someone should develop a simple unrevoked root and unlock method just like the evo uses.
Current methods are rediculous, all though i got it done,its a hassle for others.
We need to get clockwork through rom manager and get this phone goin with some rom development
the hassle of unlocking bootloader is to much!!
Cmon devs make a one click tool!!
oh mercyful lord, please forgive us, for we have forsaken the most sacred rule!
we have so forgotten that in hacking a device we must not only defeat all security measures on said device, we must do more then include instructions for free on how to do it yourself. we must make it so it does it for you.
/sarcasm
seriously dude? you think that this thought hadnt crossed anyones mind? unrevoked does htc, hence why there is no unrevoked for all the locked moto bootloaders. rather then complain about it take a dive, learn some code figure out how things work and try helping.
and in case you didnt pick up on the irony of it all, check teh dev section i have a one click... just need to fix it thats all >_>

Mods please close this thread.
Guys, let's not let this forum get away from us. I've been apart of other forums that have been ruined by this same sense of entitlement. This stuff will all happen but you have to be patient. The Photon has only been out a very short time.
Besides, rooting is a very simple procedure with ADB. As Shabby said, the one click is on the way. Ticking off the developers is not the way to get things done faster. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Please remember that before posting nonsense like this.
This thread is hilarious.

Obviously written by someone who didn't have an Evo on launch day, and doesn't remember that Unrevoked wasn't out until the phone had been out for quite some time. The original root method for the Evo was considerably more difficult than the new Photon method.

By the way you type and spell, maybe you are just too dumb for a method like this. I am a complete noob when it comes to rooting and didn't have a single problem following the instructions. Don't assume that others are as stupid as you are. Most people here are happy with what has been given to us.
Im sorry. I know the question wasn't great. But if its really ok for this guy to be torn a new one for a simple question then xda has really changed for the worst.

Totally agree. He had a suggestion, he did not insult anybody's intellectual property, nor did he directly or indirectly insult any dev for not putting out good work. He simply indicated that current methods are a little involved and that in an ideal environment, we should strive for simplicity. I don't know any dev worth their salt who isn't compelled to debug their code, to improve it, and to learn from their mistakes. Frankly I'm a little surprised at the reaction. Especially the comment about wanting to put the OP "out of his misery." Where I come from, any analogy to terminating somebody's life is incendiary and uncalled for.
no it wasnt a suggestion, it was a call to the devs to hurry up and make things.
I just had a suggestion, we should just make it simple for this fine phone and devs
or someone should develop a simple unrevoked root and unlock method just like the evo uses.
Current methods are rediculous, all though i got it done,its a hassle for others.
We need to get clockwork through rom manager and get this phone goin with some rom development
the hassle of unlocking bootloader is to much!!
Cmon devs make a one click tool!!

would you rather not have a way to unlock it?
again my issue with it is here is a guy who hasnt done anything saying this needs to be done. if someone steps up and says hey i wanna do this or starts to ask question so they can contribute. ive no issues with helping them, but to bold face claim that things need to be done, and on a timely schedule is an issue for me.
why? coming from the epic im sure a lot of users can agree with teh issues that phone had, too many people were run off by people demanding crap.
Guys please ignore these type of threads.... Comming from the epic i would hate for 99% of users to lose great amazing devs because of the demanding 1%
You guys are doing great please ignore the non sense.

Hey all!!!
Just want you all to know I am back and ready to go. I plan on working on this device a lot more now that I’m happy with what progress is being made on my other 3 devices, along with the fact that I am no longer on vacation. I wanted to give you guys an outlook on what I am looking on working on over the next couple of weeks:
Working on getting to inject new kernels using hkvc’s method
Finding new ways to restore 1.4.0
Updating NARS
Building a rom to try to inject using the 2ndinit.
Automating a lot of things for you users whom just want to use the market place.
A Secret Project with AdamOutler (hopefully, DO NOT ASK WHAT IT IS)
I also wanted to thank hkvc for all of his work and Dean for all of his work through the last couple of weeks, you guys have done some amazing work.
I will be in IRC working with the devs to get these things running along with answering any of your questions.
Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to seeing what you guys accomplish.

Yay Looking forward to hearing how that fares
I really hope you guys have success with 2nd Init. I just read about the UART hardware mod hack, but I really don't want to try to solder.
Hey, welcome back! We missed you
sound promising, guys. Keep up the great jobs!
Sure is nice to have users that are smarter than me What you guys need to develop is a "FIREWALL" to keep B&N from getting on a device we paid money for and should be able to do what we want with it.
Welcome Back! I am glad to see that you have restoring back to 1.4.0 on your bucket list! I really need some help here.
Thanks for all you do!!
Hi folks.
I came on this forum a while back to get my Bell Galaxy Note 717 returned to its former operating condition after Samsung buggered it up by putting ICS on it. I received a load of help and encouragement from some GREAT folks (who are a heck of a lot cleverer than me) and got my lovely phone back to where it was. Now, in those immortal words, "I'm back!"
At the end of the previous discussion, a couple suggested that — now I'd lost my phone-flashing virginity — I might want to try some custom ROMs and stuff like that. Whilst I very much appreciate their enthusiasm, I'm afraid that I really am just one small degree ahead of absolute noob and therefore I don't want to delve too deep into this stuff. However! I am quite interested in rooting the phone so that I can install and use Titanium Backup. So this is what I'm hunting for, please and thank you:
A copy of the ClockworkMod thing so that I can do the root.
The actual root file itself so I can install it with Odin (I believe it's called 'superuser' or something).
Any help you good folks would be willing to offer.
Just a small point, if I may; I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT ICS or another newer Android version. I'm very happy with Gingerbread and I'm staying with it. Stat. I respectfully request that you don't try to convince me otherwise, unless you want me to believe that you're a twit. You will doubtless, in return, call me a Luddite and I will not disagree. Card-carrying, fee-paying, life-membership Luddite!!
Anyway, there we go, that's it for now. I'm looking forward to all the flashing and rooting and stuff! Yeah! Thanks in anticipation of your kind replies.
Cheers,
Sandy B.

Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate that. Not sure I can find the appropriate files there, but I grabbed a couple and I'll figure it out later (hopefully with some more help from the awesome folks here).
Cheers,
Sandy.

Thanks! I really appreciate your willingness to help. Could definitely happen, because I'm always uncertain of stuff like this. I'm, honestly, not that great with computers and similar technical bananas.

Yes, I like the sound of that. Brick = bad. Got it.
