Droid Eris Android 2.1 update

You wanted to manually update your Droid Eris to Android 2.1, and so you shall. Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Download this file. (Thanks, AndIRC!)
  2. Copy it onto your SD card. Be sure not to put it in any folders.
  3. Turn you phone off. Now hold down the power and volume-down buttons to enter the bootloader. Follow the instructions to update to Android 2.1

Easy as pie! (Update: HTC reminds us that updating via this method will wipe your phone, and that waiting for the OTA update will not. Good to know.
