Droid Eris Leaked Root

While root for the Droid Eris had already been out for quite some time, Leaked Eris users who flashed the leaked 2.1 firmwares were...for better terms....left out. Leaked users were unable to gain root access to their phones due to changes in the radio, which prohibited them from downgrading or even upgrading to official firmware. However, a method for rooting the leaked firmwares of the Droid Eris was unleashed. With this it would seem that users who had leaked could gain root access and so therefor "flash their brains out". Everything seemed fine and dandy at first, but after reading the instruction the difficulty level for root rose tremendously. Only if you've already had extensive knowledge with these devices could you understand what it was that you needed to do to gain root. For many user (including myself) it seemed like the only thing to do was to upgrade to an Incredible.

However, on July 13th Leaked users received a blessing. User wag3slav3 from the xda-developers forums was able to write scripts that enabled novice android users to root their leaked phones. You don't know how happy that made me. Using his fool-proof guide (many edits later) I was finally able to root my Leaked Droid Eris. What did I do immediately following? I flashed KaosFroyo v21 to my phone. And I have to say, I can't believe it took me this long to get this type of access to my phone. And i'm happy that I finally got it. I jumped up and down like a little boy in a candy store. Note it was 2 AM when I finally rooted so my family members were in shock to wake up and hear me galavanting in joy. I've had almost a whole day with KaosFroyo and I just updated to v22, after a few more days I will start posting reviews for roms that are released at xda-developers. Hoping to make the main emphasis and focus of this blog based on Android.
