Eris 2.1 Leak "Time Bomb"?

---

So has anyone heard or can confirm any more of this rumor about there being a "Time bomb" in the leaked version of 2.1?? Or is this just someone's doomsday prediction?

Your thoughts?

My thoughts? You can't downgrade. Surely there could be a time bomb in place. I don't think there is a time bomb, but maybe HTC will make the official 2.1 one version lower so the bootloader doesn't pass the main version check. That's just why I stayed on 1.5.

Software Upgrade for ERIS wil be 2.0

I just talked with HTC today and they confirmed that the new upgrade for the ERIS will be the 2.0..... Not the 2.1 as has been hoped for. It will be offered any day now and can be downloaded off the HTC site or over the air.

Ok, I may have opened my mouth just long enough to change feet. I just got off the phone with HTC, and the young lady on the other end ASSURED ME that the Eris release of Android 2.0 would definitely be out by the end of this month. She also said it would subsequently be replaced by 2.1, but couldn't give a timeframe for when that would happen. So, in case you thought the wait was over...think again. Go figure. That 2.1 patch is looking better all the time.


This was posted on the verizon forums, the way it's going we may never get to 2.1, even though they say we will. Ohhh decisions decisions. LOL

If this is true there are going to be some very unhappy people on here that wont be able to wait until eris gets rooted.

Don't worry about a bug or virus if you D/Led the first couple of versions of the leaked 2.1 as for any other versions I can't confirm but you can run a MD5 check and there is a result in the 2.1 leak thread that it should match. For the last time we are not getting 2.0. (Well probably not the last but a guy can hope)

It's been WELL confirmed that all android devices are moving to 2.1, not 2.0.

Not saying I agree or even believe the posts, just thought it was interesting. It's not saying we won't get 2.1 at all, just delayed. Who knows

Yeah, I have to side with tdavis on this. Think about it: we currently have a release-key-signed, Verizon-branded 2.1 firmware that looks to be pretty close to completion. (Maybe not three-weeks-close, but pretty close!) At this stage, there are very few options that make any business sense involving 2.0. It would mean that the team spent valuable resources bringing the Eris up to an older firmware version, making the Eris the only device in HTC's lineup using 2.0. On top of that, we know that Sense-enabled builds of 2.1 exist on the Bravo, meaning that component of the software is 2.1-ready as well. Barring some kind of internal mismanagement or malfunction at HTC, we will be getting an official 2.1 build.

Apple lawsuit

Does anyone think the lawsuit against HTC will delay the official release of 2.1 or even the Nexus One to Verizon? If it goes to court, Apple could force them to hold the release until the software is "patched".

Most of your Customer Service/Tech Support agents in call centers would not know the difference between 2.0 and 2.1. The build numbers dont matter to most people, 2.0, 2.1... there isn't much perks that I can see right now from having 2.1 over 2.0 anyway...
