i know this is the old way to root the eris but im kinda in a spot where i need to root this way. i deleted gtalk off my eris when i was previously rooted and i reinstalled and was golden till i had problems which made me factory restore and when it restored gtalk was gone now cant use market...... nor do i have file manager to install gtalk..... the issue im having with this process though is i get to the second picture and after about 20 seconds it goes to the
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
page. im running the same version hboot as the pictures the only difference i have from the pictures is my Radio is RADIO-2.42.01.04.27
any help with this as soon as you can would be extremely helpful
There is probably something that I am missing from your description. Well, several things actually; but that's OK - sometimes folks that are new to this don't know exactly what details to provide or what the right questions to ask are.
If your phone is "rooted" is there some reason why you can not simply flash a ROM using the custom recovery?
Or, do you not have a custom recovery on the phone?
What method did you originally use to root the phone?
I tried to parse your description above; I read it several times. I could be going off on the wrong direction here, but here goes:
If a complete PB00IMG.ZIP file is found in the top folder of the SD card, it will stay on that first screen unpacking that file for OVER ONE MINUTE. Not twenty seconds - at least a minute. That's because those PB00IMG.ZIP files are big - all of them are approximately 100 MB.
Does that sound right - over one minute on the FIRST SCREEN?
Also, please verify: You said "same as in the picture" - explicitly, do you mean that your HBOOT version is 1.47.0000 ? (If you rooted "the old" way, that would not be the case.)
I don't recall how long it spends on the second screen. But I do remember that if you only get the "SIMLOCK" message if you cancel the install, or perhaps if the file is short/corrupted.
BTW, WHICH PB00IMG.ZIP file are you working with, and have you (at a minimum) verified that it's length is correct or checked its' MD5 checksum ? (The download links, file length, and MD5 checksums for all HTC PB00IMG.ZIP files are given in
this XDA post)
Normally there are only two outcomes at this 2nd screen - you get a menu asking whether you want to continue the install, or it says "Main Version Older!" and you get a menu. I suppose the third option is that it fails the checking process and gives you a menu. In any event, if you DID NOT SEE a "Main Version is Older" message, that strongly suggests you have a corrupted or truncated (short) PB00IMG.ZIP file on your SD Card.
