I'm pretty electronic savvy, but this is my first time rooting my phone. Have the Droid Eris running 2.1 hasn't been rooted yet. Tryna install the well known Kaos/Cynogen 2.2 on it. Any advice..?

I honestly don't know what ROM you're talking about?
Make sure you are running the 2.42 radio, flash the custom CFS kernel, download a cool CM6 theme for the phone, and have fun.
Oh and make sure you make a backup in Amon RA of your current ROM if you need to do any programming or whatever.

i wouldnt recommmend messing with your kernal, its not neccessary, most roms are up to snuff on the kernal & ready to flash...my only advice is there are alot of roms out there and to just try em out and find which one you like, everyone is differnt and has different prefrences.

Agreed with the proviso that if you are having problems and wipe wipe wipe wipe dalvik wipe wipe wipe dalvik wipe reflash or whatever combination is not working and you have verified fixes in your thread (See Kaosfroyo v33) take the leap. Its not hard its just like flashing another rom.
I do not think anyone is paying attention to the original question. This person is asking about the steps to root the phone. Putting ROMs on a phone is not the hard part.
Amon_RA recovery
I am new to this rooting and custom roms business. I keep seeing use Amon_RA to do a back up... Where do i get it?? is it something already on my phone?? is it a market place app?? can't seem to find it..
Help

You might want to take a look at the forum 'thefuzz4.net' under the heading Android/Eris. There is a topic which goes into detail on 'How to root your Eris'. And will give a pretty good start. If you do use this guide you may want to stop at section IV and use a ROM other than the ones the guide outlines. Be sure you check the md5 checksums for ALL files downloaded. Hope this helps.
Cheers

It's just rooting your phone. Don't use Clockwork but use Amon Ra, which is available with the one click root method. It's real easy.
I have a nearly flawless sense 4.0 rom with the last few bugs getting ironed out over the next few days, it has all radios working, hotspot, beats, working 3d etc... only problem im faceing is how to take it off of my evo and compile it into a recovery flashable zip to redistribute, (preferably using windows) as i know there are probably people who would want this. can anybody help???
Wow , I hope you get help . Im excited for this

I could put it in cwm backup or 4ext backup format, but i dont know about the reprocussions of flashing it to other devices this way, even with personalized logins and data removed so can someone please point me in the right direction

I'm sure there are ROM devs who would love to help you out. I suggest you PM them and see how they do it. I'm sure they work on stuff on their phones and then package it up somehow, so they should be able to help.

Do you want the Full RUU that flashes Stock Recovery and that?
Yeah that would be great!
Here are all of them. Just make sure before running you must be Relocked.
And how do i do that with hboot 1.4?

These questions could've been answered simply by following the forum rules and searching beforehand. Know Im being an ass but we need to make users find the answers themselves instead of giving everyone what they want when they want it.
Please forgive me but I was confused, feel free to delete this thread.

Um, can you search for this stuff that's easily found ? You've been told pretty much exactly what to do, I think you can manage this small part of it yourself.

if i could, i wouldn't ask...
just want to know if the flasing happens with Odin or within recovery, it isn't very easy found, because several manuals lead to different results...

If you try to flash the CWM alone via odin, you will not be able to boot. Get a kernel which is in tar format and you will have to flash that via odin. You can search for philz or hirox.
Once you have flashed the kernel, reboot to recovery, flash a KK compatible kernel (search for gustavo's, dorimanx or apolo), reboot to recovery, create a backup, flash your KK Rom (which you must have downloaded from the OP of that Rom), flash gapps and reboot.
In the list of your files, gapps is missing, get that too.
And in reality, if you spend some time searching and reading the manuals/guides then you wont have to ask these questions.

thank you, but i don't get it.. OP? i guess my questions are too stupid and i get a dozen of "search this and search that" so i won't bother anyone again :silly:
Your questions were not stupid. They are the basic questions which come to the newbie's mind. But you could either search for the stuff, go through the guides/manuals and spend your time reading and learning(which will be for your own good) or you could ask for spoonfeeding.
Anyways, if you do not want to invest time and energy in understanding all this then its your wish. But a lot of people here would not like to answer basic questions.

Look i just want a simple an plain answer, thats why i asked in the 1st place.
Some only rever to the search option or manuals... Like i said, it's confusing to me, i don't need to read stuff i don't need.
I got trouble, so this is why this section is called Help and Troubleshooting ....
I think also if you think that way, you can always reply to say people need to search and read manuals, that's just too easy to say
OP - Banjara is trying to help you. There's no point people giving you a bunch of steps you don't understand. If you don't take as much time as you need to in order to actually learn this stuff, you run the risk of ending up like this.
You may not necessarily do something completely daft like pull a cable in the middle of a flash, but modding your phone is not risk free. On the contrary, there are plenty of ways you can break your phone (to the point of you having to pay someone a not insignificant amount of money to fix it) doing this stuff.
Your questions aren't stupid, but you need to understand if you're not already experienced with this stuff, you're not going to somehow magically learn it all in 5 minutes. You have to take the time & put the effort in to learn it. And everything you need to learn is here, and it's easily found, again, with a bit of effort.
But like most people who come here, you're expecting it to be easy & obviously can't be bothered taking your time/are in too much of a rush.
That's fine, but don't whinge in Q&A if you bust your phone at some point.

The only one who have helped me is : Vivek_Neel
Other reactions are pointless, i was aware of the search thing, so i don't need reminders... Also: i rooted my phone several times, and the question were about if i will do it correctly if i take these steps... And i've done my search and i know a little bit more. Show me what you come up with and i give all the credits, because i can't find 1 basic step....... And please don't bother to react if it's on topic

i dont know if this can be directly applied, mainly because i dont know the relevance of the extra numbers he is adding. other than that it looks reasonably generic.
since the first part is just a bunch of unnecessary steps to see if re-flashing stock will fix it, i would go ahead and re-flash stock to see if you really lost the imie or not. its not going to make matters worse, it will either fix it or not.

Let us know how this turns out, might be useful for someone else someday. If it works, I'd highly suggest backing up the essay partition just to be safe. There are instructions in the ioroot thread I know, and I also *think* twrp can do it, too.

could you upload a screen shot of of setting/about phone/ status...out can black out the imei if you want..i want to match it up with mine...thanks
A bit of cleanup here.
I understand that we run into situations where we need to fix a messed up EFS or the IMEI goes to all zero or something like that, but unfortunately due to legal reasons we don't allow talking about changing IMEI numbers...
I am closing this since OP has seemed to fix his issue..
