Before we could flash custom roms (2.1 or 2.2), the Devs need to hack the bootloader which will take some time. My guess is that we will see Sony's 2.1 update first. I hope I'm wrong though

I doubt that, I am sure they will find a way around it and devs will prove that they are ahead of SE/
BTW< To OP, you should have post your question in the General Section.

So I have been running V2 of the 2.1 Leak (the OTA one) for a little bit now, but before that I had been running the very first 2.1 leak, my question is...Will it will brick my phone if I flash GrdLock's eris21official-root.zip since I have had BOTH versions of the 2.1 Leak?
Any help and advice is very much appreciated in advance!
PS- I am new to XDA (as a user) but I have been silently following all of the dev's hard work for some time now and I must say THANK YOU DEVS!

if you are not rooted, you cannot flash any ROMs. this has been said a million times. if you are rooted, flashing to a new ROM will not hurt you as when you flash you are wiping the phone to whatever that ROM is. i have flashed over 100 times and no issues.

Thank you. Not sure if you are familiar with GrdLock's ROM website but on there under his ROMs it states clearly below eris21official-root.zip this; "Root ROM based on 2.1 leak v2"
I am running 2.1 leak v2, but I am not sure if the fact that I ran the original 2.1 leak will negatively effect me if I flash eris21official-root.zip.
I believe I misunderstood the whole "Root ROM based on 2.1 leak v2" - is that meaning the ROM is simply a mirror of the 2.1 leak v2 and not actually a root for the 2.1 leak v2?

If you are on leak, cannot go to any ROM. Plain and simple. There is no root atm for leak. V1 or V2. His ROM that you are speaking of is the V2 leak WITH root.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I do apologize for posting in the wrong section; if a mod feels it's necessary, go ahead and move it to the correct section.
Although for referring to me as a "stray animal" I don't see what I did wrong. My question was quite specific, although it was not needed. My misunderstanding fueled my need to get on here and ask. Again, I am sorry.
stop being so rude
Everyone stop being so rude, he asked a question. Since i guess he didn't know he just asked. But to answer your question: If you upgraded your Eris with the "Leaked 2.1" PB00IMG.zip and the post/website didn't say "With root" then that means you are stuck on the 2.1 leak and you have to wait for someone to come up with a solution to get root for that. But if you upgraded to the PB00IMG.zip with "Root" then you can just go to TheUnlockr.com and search "how to load Custom roms on Droid Eris" and just follow the instructions there.

Hey everyone I just flash the new T595UVJ14 firmwire from the developers forums, and I just wanted to know if I would still be able to get froyo update over the air when it become available, or do I have to flash it back to the stock rom?

Most likely the devs in this forum will have froyo ready for you before the ota comes out anyway. If they dont someone should have a flashable version within a day or so of the ota anyway.

Well an OTA of Froyo isn't coming anytime soon from the looks of it.
Regardless of that you have to keep in mind HOW these OTA updates are pushed. They're done in batches, so when an OTA goes live it could take anywhere from HOURS to WEEKS before your particular phone would be one of the ones in a given batch push.
In all likelihood you'd be able to get the OTA update here as a flashable recovery or Odin3 image long before you'd get it from the carrier.
Thanx for the response. I hope that when 2.2 froyo's out I should be able to flash it.
eugene has the froyo 2.2. check out his work on the development section..
When the official 2.2 froyo DOES come out, will we all need to revert back to stock before the update if we have custom roms for example bionix rom. Thanks

Usually someone here on xda will have a .zip file of the OTA to flash over any rom. But to get the OTA then yes you need to go back to stco.
Stock meaning the official JI6 since that is the most recent firmware update.

If you actually want to receive the update over the air? Yes.
The reality though is a bit more complex. Updates are rolled out in batches, meaning every phone will not get the update simultaneously. Given this, you are far more likely to get the update from HERE than via an OTA in anything remotely resembling a timely fashion.
With the strong likelihood that the above ends up being true (as it almost always is) the answer would end up being no. You're here after all, so take advantage of that.
^ pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Enjoy the custom ROM till we can get our hands on the offical.. someone will upload a stock froyo with root that you can flash just like you did your custom rom. Also, I'v heard really good things about Eugenes froyo that's in the dev. section... I'm patiently waiting, but for those really wanting froyo, seems like Eugene has a pretty solid build now.
So I was just going to wait for the official OTA when I get the notification.
When I update to 2.3.3 will there be ROMs that I will be able to flash without having to update to 2.3.4.
To clarify,
When I updated to Android 2.3.3 I will be able to install any ROM that is made?
*I know this is a stupid question, I just have been confused on how the ROM process works on the Atrix. Im used to the Galaxy S method. Is it the same?
Thanks!
Please don't post any useless comments.

Yes, you can still install other ROMS. However, ROMs may have varying requirements. Usually, it will require an unlocked bootloader and CWM (Clockwork Mod) recovery which will allow you to install a new ROM.
That's the beauty of Android. As long as your device is supported, you can always look forward to the community creating great ROMs!

Would it be correct to say that not all ROM's will be compatible?
I would surmise that a ROM for 2.3.4 isn't necessarily 100% useable on a phone with 2.3.3 on it given that there could be subtle differences in builds/versions which could cause issues as with P-ROM's for 4.1.26 thru' 4.1.83. If I remember correctly the later GingerBlur P-ROM's could not be used with anything other than 4.1.83, but my memory could be blurred, (no pun intended)!
Not necessarily. The current operating system (2.3.3 in this case) has nothing to do with your eligibility to upgrade to a newer operating system. The main factors are whether your hardware is supported by the new build of Android. Another factor is performance. If you have a device that is antiquated, it's quite possible that the performance could be substantially degraded.
If you are at all unsure, I would recommend waiting for official updates from your service provider or manufacturer. You really shouldn't dig too deep into the ROM scene with your primary/only device your first time around. If you make a wrong turn, you could potentially permanently disable your device, and you usually will end up voiding your warranty.
Just got my atrix, installed greyblur. Does that mean my bootloader is unlocked?
Please correct me if im wrong, but im reading here if you install greyblur you unlock your bootloader and will not be able to update to 2.3 gingerbread or any future updates?
I read somewhere moto is releasing an update to unlock the bootloader anyways?

No, your bootloader is still locked. And when new updates are released, you will be able to upgrade.

It's still gonna be a more of a "wait and see" on how the carriers are going to handle this...
Thanks for shinning some light on this for me. Ive rooted 3 devices, but the atrix was the more intense method.
So at this point its better to have a locked bootrom?
Is there a stock motoblur rom out there? I forgot to make a backup... :doh:

I'm going to generalize, so this concepts aren't always 100% true but the majority of times they'll be correct. Generally, from HTC they release two types of OTA updates. 1) Only minor software updates. 2) Update both the kernel, android system, custom recovery, radio (sometimes bootloader and pri).
When the OTA updates are of the 1st situation, they are very minor and usually don't have *significant* impact on any part of the device. Essentially only patch bugs or glitches in HTC's bundled Sense/3rd party apps.
When the 2nd situation for OTA occurs, these updates are usually larger and more important. The impact on the device can be much larger as both the kernel and the system are being updated together.
In the 2nd situation, most of the time you'll want to make sure the kernel being loaded matches the version of system software being loaded. Sometimes they are backward/inter compatiable and sometimes they are not. Best practice is to keep the kernel/system software in sync.
In addition, for the 2nd situation, if a new kernel is released, HTC has *roughly* 30 days (not a hard number) to release the source code for the updated kernel. Until the kernel source is released, it will be very hard for developers to release customized versions of the new kernel.
Hope that helps!
joey,
thanks you've helped me so much going back to my Moment days. so to sum it all up, if I want a Rom with the updated 217, ,i need to go through the process of updating then unlock again or whatever?
thank you
