So.... then how do we get a 2.0 Rom...? Can we get the espresso Rom? Do we need a special one coded for us? How long does that take?

Hey guys, just wanted to throw in my good luck to you all! I am new to the Eris/Android community, but coming from a laundry list of WM phones I caught on quick around here. I'm no developer, but if there is anything I can do to help just ask! 
Keep up the good work to all involved.

Im no computer whiz but I believe it has something to do with HTC not sharing a kernel or source of some kind with the devs. HTC is also working on a update as well.
This phone is like excalibur. It's stuck in the stone for now.
Other HTC phones have been rooted I believe, so why the eris?

Also curious what's the link to this site? Can we visit it and see what's going on or their progress directly. I'll check it at least twice a day!

The site isnt public ready yet, still have domain and server issues to finish up.
And other phones have had root already, either because the had easier exploits found or because htc released the kernel code already.
They havent for our phone yet, more than likely wont for awhile either.
Hence our root efforts
As far as 2.x after root is concerned, YES we can make a rom with it for us, just need to root first

we should change the name of this thread to rooting fort knox.
Is it likely to be set up to allow public "lurking", with posting privs only for the devs?
I can see why you would want to do this... I tried reading the original XDA thread, and couldn't finish - got exhausted by signal/noise ratio problems. (Not to mention the harassment issues, but I was lucky enough not to stumble in to that bit.)
Anyway, just a thought - there might be devs that want to work in isolation, but would benefit from not duplicating others' efforts.

Well HTC just released the kernel source code for the Eris HTC - Developer Center
Hopefully that'll help you folks get things going
