Could someone clarify if this is for us or not? I downloaded the desire tool and i get communication lost.

says it is... haven't tried it tho

well I rooted my wife's leak phone the other day with wag3slav3's root method ..... so now I have a refurb coming to replace my jacked up phone ....I will give this a shot then and see if it works ....but I am sure people will try this before then

I saw koush dutta was involved ...so I assume its all good, I do not like the fact it pushes clockwork recovery but I could change that later....

From the FAQ:
How do I use a custom recovery image instead of the packaged ClockworkMod?
You will need to choose a .img file, which is a binary file suitable for flashing. A .zip file will not work and may render your recovery partition inaccessible until you run unrevoked2 with an appropriate image.

ya but once rooted i can switch the recovery .... I have switched from amon to clockwork and back to amons before , I have also returned all the way to bone stock 1.5 just to see if I could

also when if you use rom manager it will give you a choice to flash an "alternate recovery" which is Amon_Ra.....

Amon's seems to be the standard on the eris. I actually prefer clockwork (on other devices), however the eris has had many past problems with it and I don't know if the issue was tracked down.

so does this work with Eris's on Leak v3? If so, I'll do this tonight on my wife's Eris. She hates the thing because it's so painfully slow and buggy. I want to get her rooted and on a different ROM that doesn't suck so hard.

 

[sickbox]

Just use the standard method that everyone uses now. Its your safest bet to remain brick free.

 

[bearmacerick]

I was under the impression it was a major PITA and extremely hit or miss? If not, I'll give it a try. Rooting my Incredible was fun enough (read: not at all), I hope this is easier.

 

[sickbox]

Look for "Root for Eris LEAKERS" that method is now solid and works every time.

so on my new eris i tried it... we dont have hboot usb, so i modified for fastboot usb, went to install the drivers and windows told me to reboot... i said f*** that, connected to my linux vm and was rooted using the easyroot method in no time.

wag3slav3's root is a ****..use it

has anyone got this to work on there Eris. I tried in windows but all I got was Communications with device were unexpectedly interrupted. I tried the 3.1 on my Win 7 64bit. I installed the drivers fine I believe the only wierd thing is when looking at the how to install hboot drivers that came with the download i saw it said to go to HBoot and plug it in to your USB and select the driver folder to get the drivers well when I got into HBoot and plug in my USB nothing happeneds I dont get the hboot USB, I do get it in fastboot though

 

[trillonometry]

Yeah they say it supports the Eris but on the website it is not a selectable device and I have never gotten it to communicate with my computer (Mac)

I have yet to get any serious clarification that this works... although I have searched thoroughly enough I guess
