Rooting Droid Eris to 2.1 leak

Okay, I'm sick of waiting and really don't think it's ever going to happen, sooooo.....couple questions...

 

1) What is the newest version of the leak and where can I find it?

 

2) When the phone is rooted, will you lose your contacts and any apps that may have been downloaded?

Does anyone have a quick answer to the second question so I don't have to sift through the forum?

At the top of my head there really isn't any reason why you should have to root your phone with the leaked APK. That's why I recommend people using it. I coiuld be wrong though.

May I suggest you take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=551 for all your Eris modifications, particularly the Android Development forum. However, may I also suggest that you search the forums extensively before posting a new thread as to keep the forums uncluttered with repeat questions. If you can't find it by searching in those forums, then it probably hasn't been discussed.

Yep, you can use the leak without needing to root the phone.

I figured as much. Then it's more than likely the official release. But they are probably giving it the same treatment the same way they did for the HTC Touch Pro 2 update.

My XV6700 and my XV6800 Winmo phones didn't get updates through verizon. It was through HTC, but not many at that. I end with my 6800 with Winmo 6.5 and all then said I want non-windows and loved the looks of the eris. So I get it and sold my other one.
