Ok I'm new to the forum and new to phones in general. I dont know if its anything special but when browsing my phone on Astro file manager I am able to see my Root folder and I'm able to back up apps and see system files. I know I couldn't do that in android 1.5 but since I got 2.1 I've been able to. Is this a breakthrough I've stumbled upon? :confused:

You were able to do this with 1.5 also its nothing new. We can see the files but we can't write or modify them.
 
Does anyone think it might be easier to find a useable exploit in the leaked 2.1, than a possibly better patched official 2.1
 
Attention all 1.5 users who decided to hold out on the 2.1 leak. Just keep holding out until further instructions come from me. Thank you.
 
Could you find one thing for us, that I'm everyone will want to know now: what is the speed of the processor? Is it severely underclocked, or is it really not that far from 528 mhz? I, personally, just saw root as being good for some hardware tweaks and not much else. If it's in the 300mhz range, great, I'll drop all the crap VZW and HTC stuck me with, like Footprints, and bump the processor up to 400 and see how fast it is.
 
woot! Go XDA!!
2.1 and Root less then 3 weeks apart!!!

It seems that HTC Taiwan will have to be searched more as new phones come out.
Just watch out for dragons

This is definitely going to sound amateurish, but what happens when you just do a normal factory reset? Isnt that supposed to reset the phone to how it came out of the factory? Which was with 1.5...
 
WOOOO!!!! So pumped! I have never rooted before, and don't even know what exactly what I would do with root other than speed the phone up a bit (don't even know how that is possible. Mine has no lag at all and seems lightning quick)...but I am so excited for root! Glad I didn't switch to 2.1!!
 
How do i go to the irc websites i copied and pasted it but nothing comes up help please

Edit: I am no longer Running 2.1 Because they sent me a new phone the week that i upgraded to 2.1

IRC stands for internet relay chat. So go d/l a IRC client like mIRC or xChat (for linux) and the server is irc.thefuzz4.net and the channel is #DroidEris

IRC is the oldest form of internet chat
