That's if you're trying to differentiate between "leak v1" or "leak v2" versus "leak v3", but there's a little more to it than that if you're trying to differentiate between "leak v3" versus "root" versus the "OTA 2.1". If you're looking for that kind of clarification, you'll need to check the HBOOT version by powering off your phone and then powering on with the "send" button held down. If you're on a leak, it's HBOOT 1.49 S-ON. If you're rooted, it's HBOOT 1.49 S-OFF. If you're on the "2.1 OTA", it's either HBOOT 1.47 S-ON or HBOOT 1.46 S-ON.

Right, answered what was asked. If the OP is relatively new to this then your answer just confused the **** out of him.

Hey, I got my replacement phone only to find out that I can't root my OTA! Apparently the phone provided by Asurion was running 2.1 OTA as stock and the HBOOT version was 1.49? Does this mean that future versions will be running 1.49 or will it stay at 1.47, and for how long?
Same here. My New eris (not refurb) came in today with 2.1 (2.36.605.1 CL165907) with hboot 1.49 installed (PB0010000).

Might be a good thing or a bad thing. We might be able to get the 1.49 bootloader from these new 2.1 OTA phones and so allow us to root.
was my thought as well.

I wonder if they used to belong to people who couldn't wait and installed the leak, then claimed their phone broken so they could have them replaced. Refurbs that were once leak. Sound like a bad porno.

I highly doubt that, because we don't have a 2.1 OTA update for the 1.49 hboot. If they didn't have that, then there's no way Asurion could have updated the leaks. If they DID update the leaks, then how come they aren't releasing it to the public?
V3 is the leak. The only difference is the hboot.

I'd like to learn more about this, PM / post here how you did it please. I haven't been keeping up with the other devs lately but last I checked thats the leak 2.1 rom's hboot version. Maybe there are some differences in your 1.49 and the leak 1.49, and we may be able to use that to our advantage, as there are ways to change the nvram that we found earlier.
Yeah 1.49 s-on bootloader out of the box won't get you root.
anyone want to trade an eris with 1.49 for one with 1.46? lol had my hopes up this morning.

I've returned three different Eris handsets with various 2.1 leaks on them. The first one I didn't ask for, Verizon just randomly sent me a new phone, so I swapped them. I thought maybe there was a recall, but apparently they're just idiots. The other two were because the trackballs failed. I've been afraid that they would go to refurb these, see the 2.1 leak, then charge me for the replacement.

You mean v3 is the OTA? Only difference is the setup program to get the phone going (the OTA is intended to move from 1.5, the v3 leak is a complete wipe/flash).
HBOOT doesn't upgrade with OTA.
Do any of you want to see if this isn't just the 2.1 leak v3? Hope I can help. Here's all my info:
Firmware Version: 2.1
Baseband version: 2.42.00.04.12

PRI Version: 2.11_002
PRL Version: 51866
ERI Version: 5
ANOTHER QUESTION: Why can't we just have the root running the HBOOT 1.49?
If there was root with hboot 1.49 that would mean that those of us on the OTA leak would get root too right?

That's actually does seem to be a rather strange combination - it seems you have a locked bootloader but the OTA install.
Someone over at Androidforums posted a HTC ROM decoder ring tonight, and from all appearances, you have a mystery combination that does not appear natural.
My bet is on someone who went crazy with fastboot after the 2.1OTA, and wasn't paying attention.
Who wants to bet that techs for Asurion just FR the phone with the (2.1) stock recovery boot - that clears out phone activation as well as /data.

There actually is a root with 1.49, provided you have 1.49 S-OFF (which is the engineering SPL). What I'm not clear on is where this came from (including how my phone went from .47/.48 to it. (I never installed a leak...just rooted 1.5 to 2.1 then ran custom ROM's...currently on leak4base)
From what I understand, 1.49 S-ON (leak users) cannot be updated with the engineering SPL because the phone sees it as the same or older and won't complete the update. And it can't be hacked, but it's digitally signed by HTC and any attempts to change it corrupt the authentication.
(I'm not 100% sure on all this so please correct any errors)
Does anyone know how I can get hboot 1.49 S-OFF?
I have the leaked 2.1 v3 does that mean i rooted my phone to put it on it? Is my phone now rooted?
No. Your phone is not rooted. Leaked v3 is essentially the same as the upgrade from Verizon.

Yep. You, me, and loads of others using the leaked versions. Not to worry though. the devs are working on rooting the leak for us. It may take some time so just be patient.

I'm hoping soon too, I just got a replacement with 2.1 and 1.49 hboot loaded because mine had trackball issue. The original was the same but thought I was going to get lucky with replacement. Guess I was wrong.

hang tight guys, devs are still working on root for leakers. they're looking at a couple attack vectors and will notify everyone once they've got something working

What exactly is it that makes you think you have leak-V3?
Check your bootloader version (power phone up holding Vol-down+End/Power).
If it says 1.47.xxxx (S-ON), you can root
if it says 1.49.xxxx (S-OFF), you have already rooted
if it says 1.49.xxxx (S-ON), you have put a "leak" (V1, V2, or V3) on your phone and can not root.
Then, reboot and look at Settings->About phone->Software information. If you put a leak on there, you should be able to decipher which one it was by looking at this post on Androidforums.com
Note that you can not tell the difference between the OTA-2.1 and Leak-V3 from the O/S software information alone - determine that by looking at the bootloader (HBOOT) Version number and security status (S-OFF vs. S-ON).

There is only a single 1.49 S-OFF bootloader "in the wild" - and it is from the ROOT ROM.
That does not mean that you must have a rooted OS on top of it - you can "root" the Eris, in the sense of installing that very bootloader (1.49 S-OFF), and then back-install any OS you like on top of it (manually).
For instance, I have had stock 1.5 running on my phone for experiments, but with the root (1.49 S-OFF) bootloader sitting there as the bootloader. The "O/S" is not "rooted" - but the bootloader is there which would allow me to write anything I want to the phone. So, calling that "not rooted" is semantically accurate - if you are only talking about the OS on top.
Having said that, there is not a single chance that you have 1.49 S-OFF on your phone without it having been touched by the root-PB00IMG.zip HTC ROM at one point or another in its past. Either that or you work for HTC.

Your phone has the 1.46 bootloader precisely because it is an "older" phone (in relative terms), and also because it has only seen OTAs in it's operating history - the OTA process for the Eris has never replaced the bootloader. (There have been 3 OTAs now, and none of them replace the bootloader.)
Good luck with the rooting!

Thank exactly what I needed to know.
Now off to root (screw up) my phone
So I upgraded to the latest RUU leak a while back from android police. How do I check to make sure it is the latest leak or how can I check my current firmware? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Guess I should add that you can pull battery then hold down volume down plus power and see what hboot you are on. Latest hboot is 2.21 and latest basebands are 1.22 and 1.21 I think.

yes, if you choose to take the OTA and you are S-on. If you are S-Off then you can pick and choose what to flash in the bootloader. I suggest never to flash a new hboot if you are s-off though. Another thing to consider is that if you take the OTA, you will likely need to wait a while to achieve s-off if that is of interest to you.
please feel free to hit the thanks button if this has helped you
