Most Recent Leaked HTC 2.1 ROM

This is not the way to get to Rooted 2.1! The only way to get to Rooted 2.1 is from 1.5 to 2.1!!!!!!

The most recent HTC Leaked ROM is this one. If you have the old leak it is recommended to update to this other leaked version.

HTC 2.1 Release Candidate (AKA OTA) Leak Rom
Verizon test rom, possible OTA leak. Do not Install if you want root.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RHNAWUR0

Same Instructions



*Note before updating. Do not use Mybackup Pro app to restore your home screens in the new 2.1.
You will loose all HTC widgets and you will have to repeat steps 3-8 over again.*
Dedicated to rooting the VZW Droid Eris. 2.1

download 2.1 from the section down below then:
TUTORIAL:
1. place the PB00IMG.zip in the root of your sdcard (DONT UNZIP PB00IMG.zip)
2. back up all important data contacts synced with google will transfer over when you sign into your google account.
3. shut down phone
4. start phone with "power+volume down" at the same time
5. let it load the PB00IMG.zip
6. when it asks to press action to update it means press trackball center or power key quickly.
7. it will take <10 minutes to boot the first time
8. go through the google setup wizard as usual and ENJOY
9. If there are any problems after the update process such as sense not working or HTC widgets missing,
reload the img and repeat steps 3-8 to try the update process again.



I have not tried it but read it at XDA here

Re: Most Recent Leaked HTC 2.1 ROM

This latest leak is pretty good. Fixes some issues from the 1st and 2nd leaked 2.1 ROM, and seems even snappier.

Will keep me going until 2.1 is rooted.

LOL - you know what I meant.
And to be "technical", 1.5 is rooted, which allows you to then install 2.1 on your rooted phone. But that's splitting nerd hairs. (Of which I'm running out of).

It's my understanding that it is a problem with the gmail app. From what I've read other android phones running 2.xx have the same issue, so it's apparently not a bug in the leaked ROM.

I also still have an issue with the sound going out completely for the phone, requiring a reboot. While this happened daily with the original 2.1 leaked ROM, it's only happened once with the latest one.

Re: Most Recent Leaked HTC 2.1 ROM

Has anyone else has had problems with Google Voice not working? Even when I click on dial with GV my cell phone number still pops up on the other persons caller ID and it's using my VZW minutes

You'll always still use your VZW minutes with GV as you're still dialing out (it's not VoIP).
