what are the consequences of sending verizon my rooted eris for a refurb and should i put it back to stock before i do ?
are there going to be extra charges ?
just downgrade it to the stock 2.1 (or even 1.5) rom and you'll be fine.
The consequences are that they will take it back no questions asked then give you a ****ty 2.1 phone back with 1.49 locked boot loader then you will have to sit and watch this board on your phone with the faint hope that someone figures out how to root it one day in a way that does not involve you poping your SD card in and out about 700 times in the faint hope that it works once!

you can install a non-rooted room over top and lose root. if you decide to not hand it over, the bootloader doesnt change, so you can re-root it again if need be.

You might have to mess with your drivers to get your phone and pc to see each other. Try deleting your drivers, unplug phone, plug it back in and try to reinstall the drivers from sdk.

That's weird. Careful you get the right version of PB00IMG. The one at the top of that thread is leak v1, not leak v3. Anyway, if you're still having trouble un-rooting, you might have to do it the old-fashioned way: un-root to 1.5 following the original "downgrade" instructions, and then upgrade to 2.1 by putting the OTA zip (renamed to update.zip) onto your SD card.
Yeah I may do that. I'm using the "patched version."

That's v1. Don't do that. I can't find v3 here on XDA, so search android forums for it instead. I'm pretty sure it's on the first or second page because there have been recent references to it.

I can't get mine to root either and I'm on stock 2.2 manufacturer rom. I have the sim free UK version of the phone which already has an option to side load as it's not tied to a carrier which is nice.
I want to root so I can use titanium backup. I've followed many rooting guides to the T with no success, ginger brake just runs endlessly and super one click fails no matter which version I use. I've never had such a ball ache rooting my previous phone was a one click job.

You have to have an sdcard in the external slot for gingerbreak to work. At least I had to.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
I had an sd card in my atrix and even tried formatting it again when gingerbrake failed. I also tried another sd card without success. Maybe my firmware is different?
Currently I have a rooted Sensation.
I tried to install a theme using Rom Manager.
It said it installed successfully.
I reboot.
And when I boot up everything is weird. The drop shadow on all windows is green.
The Desktop isn't showing at all.
I can select applications from the locked menu. (Before I unlock) Like camera, mail etc.
Any thoughts on what might be wrong and how to fix?
Themes may require you to have a de-odexed rom. Is the rom you have odexed or de-odexed?
Either that, or you downloaded a bad file. Re-download and install again to see if it works.

I don't know what odexed means.
I have tried to install it again.
And maybe I should mention that I installed it through bootloader? Recovery or what it is called.
I saw that you were able to install other themes simply using the apk file. But this one required you to install it through recovery.
Currently I am able to take photos and call people. There's no home screen.
When I try to view messages I get an error.
Is there any way I can like reset it to before I installed the theme? I was told to back it up before installing the theme, which I didn't do. Any other way to fix this?
Check out this thread. It will help you get back to a stock rom, since you never made a backup.
I would strongly advise to to backup up everything before you start messing around. That way you have a backup to fall back on in case something like this issue happens.
When I first started messing around with root and custom roms, I never did a nandroid, and the phone was bootlooping. So I had to start over from scratch.

Tried Method 2 of debranding since it was the easiest one. Made no difference.
Trying Method 1 right now. Will report back with progress.
Just realized that I am not able to use Method 1 since it requires me to have USB Disk Drive mounted, which I can only do from recovery mode. And since I did not remove the image file it now constantly asks me if I want to update in HBOOT. So I can't really get past it.
If I update, it updates and reboots. If I click cancel it reboots.
What should I do?

I said to run a RUU. It stands for Rom Utility Update. This is an executable program that you can run from the PC to your phone. It will take an image that was made specifically for your phone and flash over what you currently have, and once it's done and you power your phone on, it should look like you just took the phone out of the box. Download the RUU that matches your phone to the PC. Be sure that you pick the right one. Run the RUU on your PC. It will instruct you what to do as far as plugging your phone to the PC, when to turn it on/off, etc.
Once the program finishes, your phone should be reset, stocked, and back to normal.

So my atrix doesnt charge via wall or pc. it doesnt even get recognized by the pc. i have an external battery charger to keep the juice up. I sucessfully unlocked and flashed rom racers recovery but CANNOT get root. during the ADB shell phase of root i get the error no device connected etc. im guessing the charging port is broken, does anyone have a quick fix? thanks.
problem is the root apps wont work and im wary of flashing a custom rom without root permissions. thanks

it was my girlfriends phone it was stock all the way until last night. it was out of warranty and had the wifi error. moto wanted 110 to fix but we didnt want to spend that much $ because she already had a new phone. shes always had a case on it. we bought it new about a year or so ago.
it just doesnt charge it connect. even with many different chargers.

Have your tried flashing any custom ROMS on it? If I recall, I could be totally wrong, when I put my custom recovery on the phone, it had to be rooted.
Download root checker from the market. That should tell you if you are definitely rooted or not.
If you are you can put your micro sd card in the computer with an adapter, put the custom ROM on that way, put the sd card back in the phone and flash the ROM like that. Post back when you tried root checker.

UPDATING MY PHONE (27TH.3.2023)
So basically I bought the new cable to connect it to computer, and it seems to work now [I knew it because I heard the Windows connecting sound]. But it wouldn't show Samsung J6 folder on computer for now. And I'm in the situation that when I pressed wipe cache partition in the recovery mode it would show:
E:[PDP] lstat /c____/pdp_b__ : 0 - No PDP scenarioI haven't tried going to the safe mode, but with the fact that I'm still stuck at the recovery mode right now (or reboot again and get bootloop) and it seems no one has the answer to the No PDP scenario right now, I don't really know what to do next
UPDATE AGAIN, IT'S ALL GOOD NOW (29TH.3.2023)
With my new cable, I just need to connect my phone to PC, open Odin again and flash ROM, that's it. My phone now is not rooted anymore but I don't think I want to root ever again. Still can't understand how I literally just updated Magisk and restarted my phone and...BOOM, got boot loop.
