Universal 1 Click Eris Root App Apk - No PCs, No Scripts Needed, EASY

pborner · Jan 20, 2011

Hi all, I may have missed something while browsing this thread, but i got a proble:
I am trying to root a buddy's phone using this method. I rooted mine but it was a while ago and forgot the exact steps. This seems easy enough, so i gave it a try. I got to the AMON-RA recovery screen and realized that the trackball isn't working. The only thing i can do is reboot(1st menu option) and it loads the regular os fine. His phone still works but i cant flash any roms since i cant move the cursor on amon ra's recovery screen. Any ideas? He has a droid eris running the 2.1 OTA. Is this possibly the problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, maybe there is a diffent way to root if its a 2.1 OTA. Still looking around the forum for similar posts but havent found anything yet.

Thanks,

Pascal

My Imac won't reconize the file!

Download it directly on your phone and install it using a File Manager app. (e.g. ES File Manager). It will be in the /sdcard/download folder after you download it.

You need to turn on the checkbox at Settings -> Applications -> Unknown sources in order to do that.

You don't need it for this particular activity, but as you come up to speed on other root-related activities, you might want to review these posts:

There is a trackball-free variant of Amon_RA available (actually two versions, very similar):

No doubt you are thinking "great, but how do I install it, since I don't have a working trackball?"

This thread will give you some ideas - see the "Installation" section

http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

Some Eris (Erii ?) have mechanically marginal trackballs, and users with those handsets report that gently wiggling the USB cable connector (with it plugged in to the phone) will sometimes enable the use of the scroll function in the trackball. That usually is the case with handsets that also have problems with the trackball in the regular OS, though; there are apparently some Eris handsets where the trackball is perfect in the regular OS, but won't scroll at all in Amon_RA. The USB wiggle thing won't work for those - but it is easy enough to try.

The trackball works fine, only in Amon RA is it not working!?!?

It happens. You are not the first. There are workarounds, and I provided links for the same.

Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.

Just that easy...........and yes flash the rom of your choice...

Actually I noticed that removing the 1-click root app did NOT remove the rootme.zip file from my sdcard. I deleted it but later recopied it just in case I ran into trouble later and needed to re-root (not that rootme.zip would help).

Which leads me to ask, is there any harm in leaving rootme.zip in my sdcard? It's an 8MB card so space isn't an issue.

drexnx · Jan 21, 2011

I get an "error on line 3" when I try and flash the rootme.zip...

any thoughts?

edit: rebooting and trying again seems to have worked!

The original post really should be editted to say "press volume DOWN and power simultaneously" and then select 'recovery' from the options. Volume UP and power just boots normally, at least until after superuser is installed. Other than that, this worked great. THANKS guys for making rooting so easy.

up and power button worked fine for me...

It depends on the hboot, if you want it edited, rewrite the post and give me the edited text.

Works flawlessly. Saved a ton of time. Thanks!

I had the same experience as SupraLance...Vol-down + Power worked fantastic. Wonderful app...much thanks to the devs. Donating to a local afterschool program now on your behalf. Thanks!

UP+POWER worked for mine, but it did not work on a friend's........ Mine would go into the mode where it's the triangle with the exlamation point, but the friend's wouldn't do it for the life of me.

Then I did the DOWN+POWER on his and it went into the normal hboot menu, but it had more options than mine had. Was able to get to recovery mode that way.

Maybe the phone had a newer stock bootloader than mine?

Yes; the key-press sequences and the menu items presented are different between the 1.47.0000 (S-ON) and 1.49.0000 (S-ON) bootloader.

To my knowledge, only on the latter can you use Vol-Up+End/Power to cold start directly into the recovery boot. With 1.47.0000, you have to cold start with HBOOT (Vol-Up+End/Power) or FASTBOOT (Send+End/Power), and then traverse the menus to get to the recovery boot - just as you did.

Also, if a stock recovery is on the phone, the key-sequence to get the (initially hidden) stock recovery menu to appear is different between different releases of the stock recovery. On HTC Eris recoveries for Cupcake (1.5) ROMs, you pressed the Home(softkey)+End/Power, and on Eclair (2.1) ROMs, you press Vol-Up+End/Power (a second time).

Hope that clears things up.
