Yesterday we brought news of an on-phone one click root for the Samsung Galaxy S line of phones - which itself was based off of a similar root for the HTC Droid Eris (as mentioned in the post). Turns out we didn’t mention the Eris root the first time around - so here it is.

Android user/coder jcase has come up with an App to root any Eclair-running Droid Eris’. The process is nearly as simple as it gets:

Step 1) download and install this apk
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699733/erisone010.apk - VERSION 0.1.0


Step 2) Run, read disclaimer, press button


Step 3) Reboot, once rebooted your phone should have Amon's recovery. Yay.

Step 4) Use the recovery to flash rootme.zip that is now on your SDCard, or the custom rom of your choice.


Step 5) Go into settings, and turn usb debugging on. After you have root, please uninstall this app.


Just that easy.

Thanks to jcase for providing the awesome root. If you’d like to express your thanks to him, he asks that you donate to a youth outreach program or feed a homeless youth. What a guy.
