Hi, I’m Christina, and I’ll be glad to assist you today. I understand how important it is for your device to function properly. HTC does not support leaked versions of the ROMS because of this we are unsure whether you will be able to install the new version of the ROM. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support.
I hate how stupid HTC reps think people are. I sent three emails to finally get a somewhat decent response.
Now that it is quite humerous.... Thank you for that, I needed a laugh. BTW, why are you so worried about getting the OTA? The leaked v3 is very identical to the OTA.... just download that instead...

The ota wouldn't get you root anyway. The hboot image isn't updated by the ota so you would still be in the exact same spot you are right now.

haha like i mean see if anything new comes up by the time i get around to doing whatever i want to my phone. maybe if im patient then something bigger will happen
Well, the only development to come to the eris for a while is going to be new roms. root for leakers is still not here yet, and from what ive seen wont be for a bit. We already have root. and the Eris Master App makes it super simple. just get a new phone and root it. with root, you can install roms that have OTA included, plus better themes, and can do a lot more than with just 1.5 or 2.1 non root.
Just curious, how many developers are working on root for leakers?
According to VZW support's twitter account (http://twitter.com/vzwsupport), "@jfkerekes Yes, leakers should receive the OTA by 5/24. Manual download is not available. *NK"

Verizon reps are stupid as hell and dont know what theyre talking about most of the time.
HTC is the source and they know everything but just arent happy to share until bugged 24/7.
So it seems we finally got out phones rooted.
Can someone post me a link to a good guide on rooting the phone and also recommend some good things to do once it is rooted such as a good ROM or any other tweaks such as removing bloatware or anything else that improves the phone overall?
Thanks for the help,
Dakota
There are a few in the development threads....

I know I have a lot of learning to do, and I know it helps to have step by step, instead of just jumping right in. There are a lot of people saying a lot of different ways to do things right now.
I used to come here to load roms onto my old windows phones, Evo 3d is my first android phone, things are a lot different. I feel a little over my head right now. I'll probably wait until I find a video or something to walk me through it, just to be safe.

I have been rooting and using custom ROMs since the earlier Galaxy Captivate days, so I consider myself fairly skilled in the art.
Today I set out to root and put CM9 on my wife's I777.
Got the phone rooted with the Zedomax kernel and I have superuser on the phone.
Reboot into recovery and I get CWM V5.0.2.3 All good, right?
Got the CM9 rom on the micro SD card and I select select INSTALL Zip from sdcard
Hit the powerbutton and I get a black screen with a hat and an orange circle.
To only way to get out is to hit the Power button.
None of the options work.
Only way to recover is to remove battery.
What is going on here? I must have missed something.
TIA Robert
Use the home key to select and don't use zedomaxs stuff. There is a reason his thread is locked here. His stuff is pure garbage

Anyway, before I wipe anything on that phone should I abandon this and use a different root method?
It is pretty hot and humid outside and I don't want to spend the next few days outside because I mess up her phone.

I didn't come here for support for anyone's "bull****", I just hijacked (my apology) this thread to ask why you guys think it's bull****. As I said - not trying to attack anyone or anything or any method, I asked a genuine question. One would think you could spell out a genuine reason why it's crap. Too bad your tone rules this great forum. Just a simple question...geez. Thanks anyway.

Ever since he posted his kernel it has caused problems with people losing wifi and such. Then most of the new people come here complaining about the problems. Its best to use what is on this site to root and find a more stable kernel.

If your just going to flash cm9 then I wouldn't worry about using another method as your gonna override the kernel anyways. So just go ahead and wipe and flash and enjoy

Zedomax's first priority is building web sites that will make him money. He is only secondarily a developer of firmware, and evidently fairly talented. However, his mode of operation is to build a website with rooting tools for a phone, promote it for a few days, and then you hardly ever see or hear from him again. He's already moved on to another phone and another web site. So his tools get old and become unsupported. Some of the firmware he provides works as advertised, and some of it causes serious problems. Once he develops something, it seems he doesn't even care to determine if it is bug free. In particular for this phone, his rooting method seems to work, at least most of the time. However, his unrooting method causes untold problems, and even soft bricks. And people come here to ask how to fix the problems. Some have had fairly serious problems that are rather difficult to correct from using his tools. We've seen so many problems associated with his stuff that when we see the name zedomax, we immediately think, "ok I know what your problem is."
Thank you yoderk and creepyncrawly.
First of all I would just like to say that moto's post was uncalled for, this is a great site but i swear sometimes the people here can be a bit rude. anyway I agree you should stay away from zedomax's stuff ( no offense to him) you can use this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1311081 i used it and vouch for it it has all the info youll need or use jivy root guide too Hth

The number 1 thing developers hate is when people ask questions like this. When something is ready, it will be released. I'm sure you're not the only person lurking around these forums that wants stock jelly bean on their device. Let them do their thing and be patient. Hell, they are still baking stock ICS roms, so JB will take a little while longer. Keep being pushy and I'm sure you will end up on someone's sh*t list. Just giving you a heads up.

and its people like you guys like get there a*s kicked cause they just like to run the trap. im not one to talk trash but when someones a smarta*s to me over a simple question then all bets are off. it was a simple question that anyone who had any info on if a build is coming could have answered. exactly the answers i got from you kids i could of gotten from a baby. aka your being a smarta*s so whatever...
You come in here asking a question that is religiously flamed for and hope to not get flamed? Wow. Everyone knows not to ask for ETAs, and if you wanna talk so much smack back how about you port it over yourself.
Posting in a soon-to-be-closed thread! :victory:
Also OP, sorry you got flamed! I would guess a ROM will be out at the latest by the end of 2012 or such. I'm no dev, though. Patience, padawan!
Expect a working SDK port by the end of the month or a little ways into August. For the real deal, I'd say a few weeks after a device with jelly bean is released

as the other guys say this type of question is the few of the ones you dont ask. when a dev puts it out, it will be announced. and im sure a few devs who love senseless roms are rushing their little fingers to put out the code for it, hell the HTC ONE X international got it last night, but i know that because i like to keep up to date on my phones.
but i dunno, i gave you 2 answers and you weren't happy, here is a 3rd.

I was just giving you a heads up about the way you were asking. I don't bash people here, but some others will without hesitation. You, like all the rest of us, have and are wondering when things will get ported over and become available, but we all must be patient. The devs hate when you ask questions like this because it makes them feel rushed, and when they feel rushed they either take longer on the development of whatever project or they completely abandon it all together. Again, wasn't trying to be a smart ass to you dude, just didn't want to see you get flamed here. Like the rest of us, just be patient.
There is nothing wrong with a question like this. What I understood from the question was the OP was asking if there are any plans on it which is a legitimate and friendly question. Most question that are "If" are okay but "when" is not so good. I am wondering IF we are going to have it one day versus I am wondering WHEN they will have one. No issues with this question at all.

first off i didnt mean to hit the "thanks" button i hit it on accident going for the "quote" button. but idk who your talking about because if you could read you would of seen that i wasn't asking for an ETA. I was asking if there will be and if its even possible to port something from another phone like the "gnex" over to our phone. and last if you would read some more of this thread you would see that i wasn't the one running my mouth so dont come at me like that saying i was.
Doesn't matter if the op was right or wrong in asking his question. Let it be...
I will never understand why people have to flame someone/be a smart ass behind their computer on these forums. You can say whatever you want concerning the original post, but it doesn't change the fact that your response was unwelcome and completely worthless. If the op was wrong, let it be or let an admin reprimand him. I don't see any of you "flamers" with admin status. No matter what you say, your response was worse than the original post.
To the OP, jellybean will get here when it does. Will it get here soon? I hope so! Honestly, no one knows, there are too many factors that will effect the timing of a JB stock rom release. Rest certain that it will arrive eventually.

Just be the bigger person. No need to get all fired up. You will see rude people around here and in every forum. No matter the question rude and smartass comments are not called for.
This is a very new phone and it will likely get 4.1. So I am sure the one you want will end up here it will just take some time.
As for not being a dev thats fine. Look up the source for it and some threads on building AOSP roms and give making an AOSP a try. Who knows maybe you'll like it.
Good luck and dont mind the rude ones here.
Also porting from the Gnex would likely be not an easy task but I am sure he probably has a git for it.
yea actually i have been trying to learn code and script and all the aosp stuff. its crazy hard lol but i know man ur always gonna have haters on here that's for sure. but thanks for the comment.

Your welcome. Remember just and wave pisses off the haters more XD
Hello all, I've had this phone for quite awhile now, and as we all know... IT'S SLOW!!! The only cure would of course be a custom ROM, however in our case, LG decided it'd be a great idea to shoehorn badly optimized software, sucking up TOO much RAM right out the bat.
I've tried the primary way, which involved flashing v20b, the necessary zips, and the command, which failed miserably. I'm assuming that the server or whatever that "sent the unlock command" is no longer active... and my phone was 05\2013 meaning it was suppoed to work. Devs must now dig deep into the code itself at this point as far as I know... Has everyone already bailed out or is there someone still working on it.. Feel free to start a new discussion here as well. :good:
What do you guys think? Anything?
There's currently no other unlock methods and there probably won't be any as the devs will move on to less restricted devices

As mentioned above, there is no new method, I would suggest giving the old method a go once again.

I think we have to wait until DarryDoo comes back, he seems to be the only one who knows how to flash it properly.
Unless there's a big and obvious truth that i'm overlooking.
So I tried the Locked BL CM9. It was marvelous, I got the screen working and everything, but the camera and rotation are backwards. I use those two quite alot. :crying:
I wish someone could port 2nd int CM11 over to our phone.
I'm going back to stock in the meantime, I might try again tomorrow.
