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.

I dont see any guides anywhere at all on this site that tell you what to do with clockwork recovery, what to do with radios, what to do with downloaded rom files, how you install any of it or anything at all. It's just "here's rom, enjoy!"

They are all over in the dev section. It hasn't been covered a lot here because most of us came from another HTC, so its all the same game. But, if you can't find something you need to know, feel free to pm me. I'll be glad to help anyone.

If you just want to learn how to flash a ROM zip from recovery or radio from hboot, the CM wiki should help you a little...the procedure is the same for any distributed custom rom really (with a few exceptions). As loonatik said, it's a pretty simple process and I would imagine most users are aware of how to do it by now (or have done as sporty said and just searched for helpful videos). But yea, they don't include installation instructions for each rom because it's pretty much an identical procedure.
How to make a system update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 > 1.43.531.3 from a rooted htc amaze
After rooting htc AMAZE to be able to modify a detail, I was surprized by not being able to update to Gingerbread 2.3.4 > 1.43.531.3 _ I saw in a T-mobile annoucement that the firmware is planing to update after January 20th to 2.3.5 needing the latest update I am trying to get. Is it possible through a rooted htc AMAZE?
this is what I found previously about this subject:

Hi all,
I got a problem about update my Amaze 4G which I brought at 5/11/11.
I had already root my phone and flash the clockworkmod recovery,
but before a few day, my phone remind my to download a system update.
When I completed download and begin to install,
my phone reboot and turn into the page follow
http://www.badongo.com/t/800/13959704
I saw a port http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297467
Which tell the update information
Android version : 2.3.4
HTC Sense version : 3.0
Software version : 1.36.531.5
Kernel version : 2.6.35.13-g19a3d1a
[email protected] #1
Build number : 1.36.531.5 CL157207 release-keys
and I check my phone information is the same as the update
So I want to ask
1) Can I update the system update by HTC after I flash the clockworkmod recovery
2) If no, how can I update my system at the future or how can I flash back the original recovery
3) Is that update in the port is the latest one
4) If I already had the latest update, why my phone will remind me to download the update
Thank a lot!

Search for the stock recovery and flash it by hboot. Then update your phone and say goodbye to root. To obtain root again you will have to install busybox and superuser.
Honestly it'll be so much easier to flash a custom rom.

I suggest reading the [Read me first] and faq section if you are not familiar with these things. and possibly do a google search on what unlocking bootloader, and rooting is...if you are unfamiliar with these things you should familiarize yourself first before doing that kind of stuff...There are a lot of good information in those pages that are stickied on top of this forum...Please read them.
you can only have one custom recovery
and like binary said flashing a custom rom is the easiest way.

Flashing a rom means putting a new operating system on your phone...basically there is the one that came from your manufacturer, which is the stock rom, and other ones made by developers here.
So I assume you have unlocked bootloader, installed custom recovery and rooted your phone correct?

I mean I have some experience in computer engineering but this is my first time getting myself into the android arena. I could try here and there and find out all without bothering you by experimentation but I am afraid of the bricking syndrome. I don't know how can I be safe from bricking the phone and what are my precautions to avoid that
I still don't know what the OP wants. Maybe I'm just too tired to understand.
Hey Yass,
In 10 words or less.
What do you want? Keep it simple.
Do you want root?
Do you want stock?
Do you want the phone back to factory defaults without root?
Do you want a certain rom?
Please help us help you.
My goal is having a rooted phone that can have system updates like before. I need the root to have the arabic/hebrew supported. pretty much I want a phone that displays and writes arabic as supported language in the firmware. I tried patches that accomplish that only on browser but not everywhere. for that I figured I had to root and with rooting I don't want to loose system updates from what it fixes and improves general usage.

That was a lot more than 10.
Doesn't the stock rom have your desired languages?
no it does not, intentionally

Well my Hebrew and Arabic is kinda rusty so I've never bothered to look.
A lot of the times a custom rom developer will remove the extra languages such as Mandarin, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German, Japanese, etc to save space in the rom itself since most of those counties don't even support the device. If they do then the local carriers probably don't sell it so it isn't very common. So in conclusion if the stock rom doesn't have it I would be clueless as to suggest which of our extremely limited custom roms would. So in other words I don't think there is anything that exactly fits your needs.
Even here in america lots of people need that language. there are stock roms supporting arabic but not on htc Amaze. as u said, not offered on arabic countries probably, but I know that some guys who want it there get it. and they had solutions to that problem through rooting. I can get help from them. But I am more conserened about keeping my rooted phone getting system updates while still staying rooted. Is this possible?

you cannot get over the air updates on a rooted phone, or maybe i'm wrong on this one too!!!! I seem to be rusty with OTA stuff. ON my N1, I always just installed the lasted Cyano mod...so I never really messed with ota and non ota stuff

You CAN still get the OTA but you need the stock recovery and stock rom to install it. So basically... you can root the stock rom via superuser .zip file then flash the stock recovery back. Needless to say that when you install the next OTA you will lose root.

got it, now I can help atleast 20 more people
so if I'm not wrong, the updated stock rom is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335703 , how about the stock recovery? is there a link to show the process of doing what binary mentioned?
I've noticed a lot of the new ROMs are requiring an LGNPST to stock and then OTA update to install new ROMs.
Are there any guides on how to do this?
I'm fairly confident I can do the procedure, I just don't know where to get the LGNPST software and how to specifically do it for the LG Optimus G as well as the stock files to flash.
Any help would be appreciated!
go back to search
3a under the FAQ on this page points you in a good direction for finding/using LGNPST. You can probably google the names of the files and download them, they aren't provided for copyright-related reasons.
You can restore using this tot file, it'll take you straight to a full stock jellybean. You'll have to re-root and unlock again.

The links regarding lgnpst downloads aren't allowed on xda, which has been stated several times in many different threads, along with stating all the information can be found in the IRC channel, #lg-optimus-g. But people who don't use Search wouldn't know that.
I didn't want to start a new thread to ask this but why is it that you must go back to stock to flash a new ROM. I can say this has been a big reason i haven't wanted to flash anything as freely as i normality would with previous phones. Thank goodness i like my stock ROM after debloating and custom kernel. This is my first lg phone by the way

Ok here's the deal.
in order to flash the new AOSP ROMS (AOKP CM10.1 etc) you MUST have the new Trustzone/RPM files in place on your phone.
With the new Jellybean update from At&T, our phones now share trust zone compatibility with the Canadian LGOG and the Nexus 4.
This is why there was an influx of AOSP ROMS. The kernels are common now so ROM builders can modify N4 ROMS for our phones much more easily than before.
There are three ways to get the Trustzone/RPM:
1) accept the OTA for Jellybean from AT&T
2) LGNPST to Jellybean
3) use the TeenyBin LGNPST found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994
Is there a way to look in root explorer to see if our phone has this format needed for the new ROMs.
The reason I ask, I used LGNPST with TeenyBin, but gave flashed a few different ROMs, both ICS and JB and just want to be sure my phone is ready.

OK, here are a few thoughts that can help you....
1. Are you aware of Knox? If yes, then good. Because installing custom recovery on your device will trip the Knox security fuse on your shiny new phone. If no, please read the thread entitled something along the lines of "survey for those who tripped Knox," and the thread devoted to rooting and not tripping Knox.
2. What is your software version? Please show your about phone screen (settings, general, about device). If you're not on the latest firmware, we'll get you there.
3. Your general trajectory of things once on the latest firmware version NC5 and you're OK with tripping Knox, which your question implies, should be...
-->Install recovery (TWRP or PhilZ CWM), latest versions can be found in the original development forum and Android development forum, respectively. Both are outstanding, none is best, neither is cross-compatible. Pick your poison.
-->Install a pre-rooted rom or just root your phone.
-->Have a blast
In closing, I highly recommend choosing a TouchWiz based rom before you flash any AOSP based variant, mostly because these will give you the closest to familiar feel without losing features.
There is no best except that which you like most.
Please report back with the info requested herein and we can block and tackle this, with the incredible resources hewn and stored here on xda.
No reason to depart from these fine forums to do that which is rightly done and freely available only here.

I would suggest as micmars has said you do a little reading on KNOX first. Then to get your feet wet, if you decide to go ahead and root your device. I would go with rooting the stock rom in your phone first, then add a custom recovery ( TWRP or PHILZ CWM ) . I run PHILZ CWM works great and its easy to use. Now once its rooted you can disable KNOX and remove the extra apps that you are not using that clog up the operating system ( OS ) of you device. This is called BLOATWARE go to this XDA site to get lists of safe to remove apps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2770729 . Once you have done that now make a backup of your slimmed down De-Bloated OS. Now your ready to go and start installing custom roms, and if doesn't work out you can always recover your backup and get back to square one. Then try a another rom till you find one you like !!! :fingers-crossed:
