Root Please help!!!

[scary alien]

this isnt working....Ive plugged my phon in as "charge only" and gone to "RUN"...."cmd" and I typed "cd c:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools
and I get
"this system cannot find specified path"
??

Well, assuming that c:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools is the correct path, you should be able to step up through the directories one at a time too to verify all of the directory names are correct:

1. Launch a command/DOS window
2. cd \ [go to the root level of your C-drive]
3. dir [you should be able to see your android-sdk_r06-windows directory]
4. cd android-sdk_r06-windows
5. dir [examine all of the subdir here]
6. cd android-sdk-windows
7. dir [display the subdirs to verify]
8. cd tools
9. dir [you should now see all of your tools files here]

Does this make sense? (hope I didn't make a typo myself )

Dude, I was stuck at the same exact part when I tried to root. I found the stickied walkthrough very confusing at the command promt part. I found this thread and it was very helpful, was rooted within an hour. Just forget about the command prompt steps and click the following jump: that thread, starting from post #28 let me know if this helps. Big thanks to Jrzdroid & erisuser1

pace, welcome to the club. word of advice. learn nand. it is your friend. and test out as many roms as you can find. they are addicting. as well, if you have tons of apps, check out titanium as it makes bringing your programs with settings over a piece of cake and if you donate, its all automated when you reinstall.

also, depending on if the rom you use is ported from the hero (aloysius, purehero, to name a few) a lot of the hero mods will work as well. check out xda, they have more goodies over there as well.

Are there any add ons for evil Eris ?

I dont think there as many as there are for Aloyius just cuz Aloysius was ported from the Hero. But check out the main thread on XDA, ppl might have posted ones they found. But check out Aloysius, I love it not just cuz of speed but cuz of how easy it is to edit and MOD.
