"Rooting" for the Droid Eris

[D/\SH]

sweet cant wait to see the root for this beast so we can really get cooking this may make me go back into rom building some to tell the truth for android now

I have tried rooting both ways I could find on the hero with no luck, I am really hoping someone can root this thing soon.

Can't wait for the rooting to be finished . patiently waiting >>

is it possible to get this thing running on Sprint's network?

[morrobaybum]

not too likely, sprint and verizon are very picky about what ESNs they let on their network. Verizon now lets you submit a form to have a phone approved to be activated on the network but i havent heard of anyone actually getting approval. As far as i know sprint doesnt even consider something like this...

Besides sprint has the HTC Hero which is practically the exact same phone. You could just get that from them or even better get it from best buy for the same price as the Droid Eris

When rooting happens, would there be a way to disable haptics on the home row keys?

[Gervy]

I assume the rooting for HERO won't work on the Eris? I've seen threads about it on the other site.

Correct - the rooting method used for the Sprint Hero does not work on the HTC Eris. However, many (I believe) modders are working with the Eris' firmware image to figure out if there are other exploits to get us root access to the device...just a matter of time.
