Root Unrooting Eris without trackball scrolling up/down

[erisuser1]

USB Debugging is on

and... what is the output of "adb devices"

??

 

[ScottNY845]

C:\Users\Scott\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
HT****** device

 

[erisuser1]

very good.

Now copy the files from that post on XDA (flash_image and misc.img) into your SDK tools folder, and run the commands exactly as show in the XDA post

Post the results here

I should add that if you see the any of those commands produce an error message, no need to do the commands after the one that has an error. (You won't see any errors if you cut and paste the lines one at a time). You will see some messages during the "push" about elapsed time and so forth.

 

[ScottNY845]

right from that command line or do I need to switch the the "J" drive which is the ERIS?

 

[erisuser1]

Make sure to go back and edit the line in your previous post that has the device ID ( HT??????) in it - that identifies you uniquely.

 

[erisuser1]

right from that command line or do I need to switch the the "J" drive which is the ERIS?

right from the same directory - same place you did the "adb devices" command in.

ok, I am on the 4th command and the cursor is flashing after the word IM..still waiting...how long does this take?

I'm guessing you pasted all four lines in one go? Otherwise I have a hard time visualizing what you are saying.

Each of the "push" commands should give you a summary of the transfer

the chmod command will be "silent" if there are no errors
the flash_image command might - or might not - produce output.

Can you cut-n-paste from your command window to this post?

 

[erisuser1]

That looks good.

Just for grins, run the last command again; the command prompt should return with no errors if everything is OK.

 

[ScottNY845]

I am still on the 4th line in the command window...the cursor is blinking at the end of the line:

ge misc misc.img


What you see here is what I see in my command box, only that my cursor is blinking

 

[ScottNY845]

I did each line one at a time....not all 4 at once

EU1, I'm glad you don't do IM. I'm learning from, and enjoying, this thread.

Hmmm, just saw that part. Hit Ctrl-C.

OK, next steps.

1) Edit your post in this thread to remove the serial number from the "HT????????" string

2) Check your battery charge? How much do you have? Charge it up to at least 80% or so before continuing

3) If you left the "PB00IMG.ZIP" file on your SD card (didn't touch it since you tried to flash it last), then great. Otherwise, put it back there.

4) Re-perform the HBOOT (Vol-Down+End) process to flash the PB00IMG.ZIP file.

Let me know if your battery is already charged - I can stand by for ten minutes or so.

 

[ScottNY845]

Ok, I hit ENTER on the 4th line and this is what I got:

error opening misc misc.img: No such file or directory

Hang on a second - don't do anything. Typing

Ha. The great Jcase has a typo in his instructions.

Try this as a replacement for the fourth command:

[COLOR=green][B]
adb shell /data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/misc.img
[/B][/COLOR]

you can cut-n-paste the above if you like

 

[erisuser1]

Any messages this time?

 

[ScottNY845]

ok, after entering that it brought me right back to the;

C:\Users\Scott\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>

 

[ScottNY845]

No messages, right back to the C:\Users\Scott\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools>

 

[ScottNY845]

the PB00IMG.zip is in the root dir of the SD CARD as well

[ScottNY845]

Ok, post is edited...moving on to the next steps...

 

[ScottNY845]

ok, removed battery...pressed VOL DOWN and END and still says no image or wrong image...

 

[erisuser1]

The HBOOT part of flashing the PB00IMG.ZIP file takes a couple of minutes.

Once it begins (I am assuming that you will NOT see the "Main Version is Older" message, and it will ask your permission to continue), do not interrupt it - but send me a post to let me know that you got past that point and the phone is flashing.

The first boot (after the HBOOT part) takes 5-6 minutes as well - it is rebuilding everything, just like a first boot of any other ROM. Let it do it's work - don't interrupt it or pull the battery or anything crazy like that.
