Hi Guys am quite new at this however i've been doing some research on how to install [ROM]KaosFroyo V30 on my Eris but i have not found any instructions or guide and so i was wondering if anyone here could help? by the way i am running the android 2.1 version released by Verizon an HTC and hopefully this won't be a problem.
Google is your friend, also the Eris root app might make things easier.

first question is are you rooted?
i think the phone's rooted now!
well i used the eris root app and when it asked me to i used the KaosFroyo V30 zip and it seemed to install ok, then i boot up the device and after an initial boot screen i get a screen saying android in blue and like a white light inside i don't know if that makes any sense but that's where the phone stays. i guess i am rooted now but then phone won't fully boot up

The first boot can take 10+ mins. Wait it out.
well the phone boots pass the skatebording androids and then it shows "ANDROID" with a while light scrolling through the letters and is been like that for about an hour now.

turn off, turn back on holding the end button and the vol UP, use the trackball scroll to backup/restore click the trackball, click nand backup, let it run hit vol down, scroll to wipe, wipe data and wipe dalvik, hit volume down hit flash zip click on the kaos v30 zip assuming that its on your sd card and let it run and then reboot shouldnt take much longer than 10 min to boot up
Thanks everyone for the help specially Funnyface19 your last suggestion solved my problem my phone is working great!

good luck and remember to always do a nand backup before flashing anything...saves more lives than seatbelts
The thing that you did different was wiping caches before flashing. That's why it works now.
BTW, NAND backups are important, but the one you made this time was worthless.
A NAND backup makes a copy of your system. Unfortunately your system wasn't functional when you created it.
Use this as a lesson. Always do a NAND before you change anything. That way you can restore to a working system.

Hi guys I was messing around on the HTC DROID ERIS and I may have damage my phone. I change the wrong NV items. 435,436,1192,1194 and now phone keeps turning on and off. it only gets to the skate boarding green dudes. I try adding a custom rom but i dont think i am rooted. I try doing the system wipe but as soon as it reboots to enter that mode it reboots and reboots again same system. I can only update with the PB00IMG.zip but does not changes anything. I can only keep it stable on the hboot usb which I dont know what else to do with that. anyone has any idea on how to correct this issue...
Sorry if I am breaking rules, but it won't let me replay in the development thread.
I did root, and bootstrap. Then installed the latest eclipse rom, but I forgot to clear cache. No I'm stuck in a boot loop at the eclipse logo. I pulled the battery and it is still stuck. I tried going into Android recovery and I get the little droid with an exclamation point. Please help.
Thanks.

When u get into the stock recovery hit volume down and power at the same time to bring up the options. Then wipe and reboot.

Just had the same problem. When the exclamation error pops up press up and down on volume at the same time, then reset. I'm literally trying this as I'm typing.... waiting to reboot....and worked! "Welcome to DROID X2" screen! Eclipse boot animation is very long so don't be discouraged.

Its not that the animation itself is long.
Its that it is rebuilding system caches and dalvik cache so that next boot time is drastically reduced in comparison to the first boot up

If that doesn't get you there, when you see the triangle, press both volume up and volume down at the same time. It's how mine works anyway.
Yup Hes right

I put the miui rom on my phone and i did the factory reset so now i have to reactivate my phone. The problem is it wont reactivate when i dial *228 it says problem with activation. What could be the problem please help.
Try *22899
got the same thing
Unless the Verizon activation is down again. Was a few weeks ago. Just curious as to why u did a factory reset in miui?

Update...activation works scratch that.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Called Verizon and they were doing updates. Next morning I called and they said it was back up. However I still could not activate then I restored to stock and activated no problem. Then restored my cm7 without activation and then it was fine.
Do a backup now and restore back to stock. Activate and then restore your miui.
Can I sbf? If so does anyone know any good tutorials
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Did you do a nano back up of your stock rom? If so just restore that. If not do that first before making changes that way you can save yourself from a SBF.
if you do not know how to do a nano backup follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083
Sadly no does that mean I am screwed

Follow this to sbf http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
Then after you activate root and download the tenfar recovery from stickies then make a nano backup first that way if you get in trouble you just restore back to stock.

No problem the sbf is not as bad as some might make it sound. You just have to make sure you download all the drivers and the SBF file and rsd lite. If you get stuck do be scared to ask. Also if you never did a SBC remember to get your phone to communicate with rsd lite you turn phone off and hold power and volume button up at same time and it will boot you to red mode then you are good.

+1 takes a couple min to download and install beyond that its easy easy lemon squeezy

Also if your phone bootloops after sbf do not panic it is normal sometimes coming from a custom rom. You can fix it easily by doing a restore factory reset in android recovery not bsr. If you do not know how to do it let us know and we will explain it.
So if you do bootloop after sbf rebooted your phone 100% then pull battery and put it back in. Now instead of hitting up volume and power this time use down volume and power at same time. You will see fastboot use volume down button to scroll down to android recovery. When you see android recovery then hit volume up this will bring you to android and big grey triangle then hit both volume up and down at same time. Now you will be in android recovery. Volume rocker to factory reset and hit the power button and use volume buttons to choose yes. After its done select reboot and you will load up just fine after that.
Let us know if it works for you. Or if you have any more questions. Remember cm7 is awesome unless you need HDMI. Eclipse is great as well and HDMI works. I have eclipse nano back up so if I need HDMI I can just restore.
Did all the stuff last night it all worked fine. I had the bootloop and it worked. Reactivated it with no problem. Once again thanks for all the help.

Awesome! Glad to help I remember being in your shoes before. Did you make your nano back up of stock to make it easier for you?
Ya I did a backup this time

Perfect now you can try a rom if you like it then back it up. I have had up to 4 different Roms backed up so you can restore which ever you like. Glad it helped! Just make sure you stick with the same kernal like the 2.3.4. If you ever go to 2.3.5 you will have to sbf back to 2.3.4 to get the kernal right.
If you could put [solved] in your title next to your problem and this might help someone else with the same issue.
I was curious to see how ICS worked so I finally gave in and flashed Black Widow ROM. I followed this exact instructions:
Requirements:
•Android Version 2.3.6 (6.12.17x - 6.12.181)
•Safestrap 1.09 or Bootstrap v2 (safestrap 1.07 will not work)
•Download and move zip/s to sdcard-ext
•Reboot into Recovery
•Create a Backup! (dont say i didnt warn you)
•YOU MUST Wipe Data/Factory Reset
•Wipe Cache partition
•(in Advanced) Wipe Dalvik cache
•(in Mounts and Storages) Format System
•Install zip from sdcard
•Flash ROM (do not flash Gapps or DarkGapps)
•Reboot System now
This isn't my first time using Bootstrap. I flashed many ROMs using it on my D2. It installed and then I rebooted. Now it sits on the screen with Motorola symbol with Dual Core Technogoly. I did make a backup but I'd really like to use this ROM before reverting back. Any suggestions?

If it's stuck at the M logo you'll probably have to RSDLite back to GB. Remember, that M logo can be there for up to 5 to 6 minutes on the first boot, if that's not applicable then fastboot that bad larry back! (I got to be VERY proficient at flashing back, let me know if you need help)
Is there anyway I can get my phone in working order without having to RSD back to GB? I don't understand why it didn't work when I follow the instructions and I have experience in flashing.

I haven't really messed with Safestrap or bootstrap that much, I tend to just run one OS. The problem is that you can't even get to the start up screen for those. Simple when you think about it, right now (if i understand correctly) you're stuck at the M, which leaves you only 1 possible way out of that screen and that's to send it to recovery which will only wipe or RSD your phone.
Anyone else think of any other options that he has or experience with this ROM??
Yea I went to stock recovery to wipe data/cache just to see what happened. Of course that didn't do anything. In order to RSD, what screen do I need to be on? I assume the screen its frozen on will not be the screen I need.

You'll need to hold down both Vol buttons when you power it up then go to AP Fastboot. Do you need a link to the tutorial? You can YouTube RSDLite DROID RAZR and should get plenty. Let me know if you need any additional info.

I think I can figure the rest out. That's all I really needed to know. Thanks!
Also MAKE SURE you're at at least 50% battery!!
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Not sure how I can check this....phone was on 66% before ROM install but screen is stuck on and I don't know how to power off phone. Battery is draining but more than likely slowly.
This was a previous post on another thread and from what I understand it works:
"Try following Steps:
Boot in AP Fastboot > Connect your Wall Charger > Press Power
If you're a lucky your RazR will pass the red M and jump into the Battery Screen.
If your system is broken, you have to order an Factory Cable. With this you can flash the correct system signed or use the modded Utility for CDMA Leaks, to get your Phone back to life."
When they say "Factory Cable" is this not just a USB cable?
Nope. Its different from what i understand. Thanks for reminding me to get one on eBay before all the ICS madness starts. Lol.
I mean you can risk it but I've never had to mess with it as I'm almost always above 70% so I'm kinda out of the loop on that problem.

I tried what you said...Went to AP Fastboot and it only goes back to the Motorola screen. So am I completely screwed here? Thought I need that screen to RSD?

You just need to get to the AP fastboot screen then flash it. I think you'll be okay to flash. I've seen people do it with 40%. Just make sure as soon as it boots you put that puppy on the charger.
Should take about 15-20 mins. If you're gonna do it, best to do it sooner rather than later.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
I don't even know if I can get to that AP Fastboot screen. When I try it, it does nothing and goes back to my Motorola screen. I'm about to be off work so I can see what happens when I have a laptop around.
Yeah you're gonna need the laptop. Also, when you select AP fastboot you'll want to hit the vol+ button to select it. Hitting the power button just restarts the phone. Vol+ = Enter. That's probably what you did the first time.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
Indeed it is. Maybe I can try the charger now.
Yeah, its like learning a foreign language sometimes but with only 3 physical buttons they have to make do. Lol!

Also for future reference you can go in to the stock android recovery and do a factory reset after sbf, that is what fixed my bootloop after hours of disappointment.
i tried to go into the stock recovery after i got the bootloop problem and it gave me a blackscreen with a big exclamation sign and the android guy , weird huh?

Not weird. That is the stock android recovery with the android guy and exclamation mark. To access the options, you need to press the Volume Up + Volume down buttons together and it should give you the options to do a factory reset.
