Downgrade to 1.5 (official Verizon ROM)

[licotto]

Will this allow me to downgrade from the OTA 2.1 back to the original 1.5? I never rooted my Eris. I hate how slow it runs with 2.1, regardless of the upgrades, I'd rather have a faster phone instead of this -especially since this is not my primary phone.

Thanks for any help.

Any chance you still have 1.5 around? I want to downgrade my phone from 2.1. Thanks! My email address is frankiebermudez@gmail.com

I keep getting a usb connection error, what am I doing wrong? I am able to get pics and videos off of the phone, so why can't I do the downgrade?

I was actually offered a replacement Eris with 1.5 on it though I have the file on my computer to downgrade it. I am non rooted does anyone know if it works?

Do you put the unzipped .exe file in the phone and then run recovery? Or just put the .exe file in the phone and turn on?. HELP.

Good question, actually. Neither one. You plug the phone into a Windows PC and run the .exe utility from the Windows computer.

Just in case anyone wants to play with the 2.1 leaked rom, or plain messes their phone up or finds bugs that they dont like. Or if you just want to go back to 1.5 and wait for the offical 2.x upgrade.

Download the MR2 Uprade Eris ROM from verizon partner:
Personal Communications Devices

1. Unzip the file
2. Plug your phone to your PC/MAC.
3. Find your folder (MAC or PC folder)
4. Run .exe file in the folder "RUU_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_1.17.605.1_release_signe d_with_driver.exe"
5. follow on screen instructions.

if you want to go back to MR1, PM me as I have it also from that site but its sense been removed.

Hi- I read your post about a PM to you about the file to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.5 on an Eris. I'm new and I need to go back to 1.5 so that i can use my phone in my car. Can you PM me or post the file needed?

i appreciate your help.
