Just started reading about my Eris today and all the "aftermarket" stuff I can do with it. I've spent the last couple hours reading through here and androidforums but can't find the exact answer I'm looking for.
I did the "HTC Eris 1 Click Root App" and all went well. I've also installed SetCPU from this site. I'm sure there is something else I have to do b/c SetCPU is giving me no options to go above 528. It appears I have to install a patch of some sort from this thread: (can't link but it's the "Overclock Patch and update.zip" thread in the Eris development area) but do I install the patch.txt, the zimage or update and what do I do after they are installed?
I've read plenty of talk about other ROMS's but I'm fine (for now) with the stock one. Can I OC without installing an entire new ROM?
Thanks in advance!

you need to flash an overclockable rom, try flashing this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=679194
or
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=745708
those are just two of the many roms, if you need help flashing it dont bother making a new thread, do a google search, look on the xda wiki, or PM me.

After doing some more reading I would like to find a ROM that OC's above 700 automatically, removes the extra garbage that Verizon loaded (footprints, amazonmp3, etc...) and is a one stop shop. It looked like both of those you linked have some things missing or there are other step once you initially flash it.
When I do flash a new ROM I loose everything right? I'll have to re-load all my aps and stuff...
I'm going to go try and read up on flashing, NANDing and backing sutff up but will probably end up PMing you to make sure I got it all right.
Thanks!

P.S. had to remove your links so I can post my response.
Also, what's the difference in a ROM that has "sense" and one that doesn't? What am I missing or gaining?

Sense is HTC's custom user interface. It consists of a custom theme, app launcher, and many different apps and widgets. The best way to find out what you are gaining and losing is to try out a sense rom and a non-sense (or "vanilla") rom. Always do a nand backup before flashing new roms. You never know what could go wrong.
As for the overclocking, the kernel the rom uses determines if you can overclock and how high you can go with it. Most roms are clocked to 710 as this is the highest and most stable speed that will work for all eris's. Some phones are able to get up to 804 without freezing or crashing but not all can. DO NOT check set on boot till you find a stable speed or you can get stuck on a boot loop.
Feel free to pm me if you have any more questions. I'm not a dev but I'll try my best to help you out.

No, you are not. The issue is that Clockwork can't read (and therefore wipe or backup) the ext4 partition that voodoo puts our data in. It might not be able to read RFS as well, I am not sure.

I doubt that is the case, but I as well do not fully understand what Jesus here is trying to say, I will leave it up to him for further explanation.
As a side note, I would be thrilled if they released Cyanogen for the Fascinate, that would be fantastic.
The issue is that Cyanogen is based off 2.2 (Froyo) and the Fascinate does not have a 2.2 kernel yet.
I was on their wiki last night and almost made the same mistake until I read that part. I was all excited and was thinking, "How did no one see this"
then I punched myself in the face
Whoa -
As near as I can count, you guys are talking about three different things:
1) Clockwork Recovery is definitely available for the Fascinate, and has been for a while.
2) Clockwork Recovery and Cyanogenmod are different things.
3) The issue with Clockwork Recovery not reading Nandroid backups ONLY applies if Voodoo is installed and enabled. Supplysidejesus covered this correctly.
Martian21 got it right in that Cyanogenmod 6.* is based on Android 2.2, so we won't be seeing it until Samsung pushes a 2.2 update.
The good news is that Koush has expressed a willingness to work on the CM port when there is some Froyo source to work from.
Good things will come in time!

I don't think I would get too excited on that one..
Being a former Droid Inc user, I would personally rather get another CM guy on it.
Koush does SO MUCH for the community that I think he's spread too thin to give this device the full attention that it will need. I am not knocking him, he's awesome and done a ton. With his new company he works for and all the rom manager items and things for clockwork recoveries, I just don't see him working on this one.
what would be great is if a team of devs worked on the CM part when the time comes instead of a one man show.

That would be great. It sucks that there are so many people out there eager to help, but no way to *quickly* get the skills it takes to help? I wish it was as easy as watching a youtube video on what to do - I know there are some, but it seems like something's missing?

It also say's "NOTE: ClockworkMod Recovery is currently not available for the Samsung Fascinate. Please check the wiki or follow clockwordmod on Twitter for updates.", but i am running 2.5.1.0 via rom manager as we speak? Very intersting...
...
Recovery doesn't require 2.2.
I don't know anything about developing but I just read on wesgarner's twitter that the source for the galaxy s CM6 is now available, does that mean anything to us fascinate users?

Not sure how else to explain it, but I will try.
By default, Samsung places the /data/ partition of the phone in a file system called RFS. It is slow and inefficient, so the guys over at the Voodoo project created the lagfix which converts the partition to ext4, which is a MUCH faster file system, and makes accessing and using our apps much more efficient.
The only problem with this and Clockwork Recovery is that Clockwork does not have the capability to READ the ext4 partition that the Voodoo lagfix creates. So, when you do a nandroid with Clockwork, it will backup everything it is supposed to backup EXCEPT the ext4 data partition. That is the issue we have with Clockwork. Until Koush adds support for ext4, we are kind of dead in the water for a complete nandroid backup.
That's all I was saying.
Like I said, I'm also not sure if Clockwork can read the default RFS partition - someone would have to confirm or dis-confirm that for me.
Wish I was knew more. I have a lot of the infrastructure info down, I think, just no good with code and programming.
Bleh.
Clockwork can backup the /data partition on a stock Galaxy S. That is why you have to diable Voodoo in order to do a full Nandroid then you can re-enable it.
As was stated earlier Koush has said that he will port CM6+ to the Fasinate once 2.2 source is availalble. to try to work from 2.1, while possible, would be a wasted effort with 2.2 so close. All Koush needs to do is lay the foundation for CM6, there are dozens of other talented devs who can take that work and build on it. Don't fear - CM6 will come and will be actively suported by many devs. I'd be willing to bet that once Voodoo is officially released for the Fascinate Koush will add support in ClockworkMod recovery.

Hello all,
this is my first time rooting and i have read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=996616, im downloading the files as i type, so my question is, it it hard to root my thunderbolt? also ive read the pros and cons, and i would also like to know from u rooters, what do u like from a rooted phone?
for those who want to just the question, here u go:
1) it it hard to root my thunderbolt? (following the link)
2) u rooters, what do u like from a rooted phone?
yes im excited to attempt to trying to root my thunderbolt ^^
It's not hard, just fallow the instructions to the letter and of course make sure you have adb set up and the proper drivers installed. After that it's pretty much a cut and paste affair.
Second question: Root = freedom, simple enough.
I went to Youtube to setup my adb.

If you're going to flash a ROM it will have it installed.

so for now its ok to have no busybox, after i install a ROM it will be in that ROM correct?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153055 this is the ROM i am thinking, will i be able to get that onto my phone? i did the 2.5 version
also ty i appreciate answering my questions!
Before you flash any ROM, do yourself a huge favor, and read the OP (original post) and then read it again. Follow the directons carefully. After your first time its like riding a bike. Search the thread before asking questions too since you will likely get hammered by people for asking questions already asked and answered. Good luck.
BAMF is a great ROM, you might search later in the thread for RC5, Adryn leaked a preview with a different kernel than RC4.

You'll need an MR2 radio for that ROM, I recommend the one from the OTA. You can find it in the development thread, it gets flashed through hboot.
Edit: And yes, the ROM you flash will have busybox built in. And +1 for the post above mine, use the search function, it works well. When you do have a question post it in that ROM's thread or keep it in the Q&A section. Best of luck to you.
Hey there! Yes, this is my first post in this forum I believe, but I've been a heavy lurker since December. Currently, my tbolt is rooted and has been for a few months. I'm running BAMF 3.0 RC4 and I can honestly say, the pros far outweigh the cons. A few of my favorite pros is the ability to run a wider selection of apps, more control, the speedier updates from devs compared to Verizon/HTC, overclocking, better controlled over battery life, no bloat removal..the list goes on and on. Basically, being rooted allows me to make changes to my phone to fit my needs. And yes, it is incredibly easy IMHO to root this phone. Good luck, and have fun.
Should mention too that I did mess up my radio when I flashed GB but it was quickly fixed by reflashing. So the only con has been my own fault. I also believe that you can restore the phone to a "fresh out of the box" state should you ever need to take it back.

Try the RC5 preview with the new MR2 OTA leaked radio. Smoothest combination I've used yet.
Yeah definitely would suggest flashing the official MR2 radio as well. It's been the most solid for me. Had issues with 2.5, and I had slow 3g speeds on the leaked MR2.

I'll try BAMF again when RC5 is officially released. My phone really likes Ziggy's kernels. Was flashing almost daily since I got my bolt trying to find decent battery life. Running Synergy now for a week with no issues. Liked the other roms, but Ziggy's kernel gives me the best life.

Somewhat of an Amaze newbie here, but so far the community and information here have been incredibly helpful, so I'm hoping someone can help with my next question.
I've been thinking about popping my ROM cherry and installing one of the custom ROMs here - more specifically the Energy and/or SpeedROM. I have the latest files for both, am rooted, currently using 4ext Recovery, with S-On. I've already performed a Nandroid and full backup with Titanium Backup, and from what I can tell should be ready to take the plunge. I just wanted to make sure that there isn't anything I'm forgetting or need to know before I take the custom route.
Thanks again for all the hard work and assistance!

Always wipe before install, but you're good.
Lol at popping rom cherry, have fun.
Just make sure your already on the ICS OTA update before installing custom roms. The OTA update updates the radios and some other system partitions that need to be updated prior to ics being installed. Best of luck with everything. I'm on NRG but Speed Rom is about to be I installed soonish.

Cool, I think I have that part covered as I'm currently running ICS 4.0.3, so hopefully that won't prove to be an issue.
One other quick question: Will this affect the Google Play Store? As in, since I would be running an unofficial ROM, would I be unable to connect to the store to download/update apps?

You will still be able to connect to the Play Store.
For some rom, you have to add the APN for data to work.
Since your new at thus don't go with any alpha betas or release clients make sure to go with something pretty stable til u get the hang of this dont wanna brick your phone and not know how to fix it :-\ I bricked my phone like 10 times with some of these roms pretty scary lol. Speed rom 7 is pretty good . If you have any more questions or anything feel free to post or pm me. Good luck
