Ok, this is reposted from XDA but for those of you with android SDK (or willing to try). If you get the notice to update to 2.1 before you accept do the following so the location of the update can be shared with the rest of the Eris world.

SDK Location:
Android SDK | Android Developers

Once you have SDK installed, make sure you have Debugging mode on

Enabling Debug Mode:
On 1.5
-Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging

On 2.1 leaks
-Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging Mode


Once you have enabled Debugging Mode Plugin Phone:
connect USB to phone and PC. Then tell it to Connect to PC

On 1.5
-swipe down the menu bar
-click on USB Connected
-click on Mount.

On 2.1
-You should be prompted,
-Select Disk Drive
-Click Done
-If not Swype down the menu bar
-Select Charge Only
-Select Disk Drive
-Click Done

move to location SDK installed location typically below, but may be wherever you installed it:
C:\android-sdk\tools

for those of you who have windows 7 just go to the Android install location look for the folder called "Tools", hold the Shift key down, and right click on the Tools folder. Click on the menu option "Open Command Window Here"

from the Tools location you should now be in a DOS prompt (black screen)
adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt


Now the log is being recorded. Run the 2.1 update by doing the following on your phone:

Setttings > About Phone >System Updates

This will begin the update, and a log is recording what your phone is doing and where its getting the OTA update from. Post the log back on here, or in the XDA to share the dirty details.

Good luck.

This was posted on here many months ago so I figured i'd bring it back to life as well.
