Thanks CrackMonkey and IzelTokatl I did a search in the forums and got a few threads but the thread suggested below wasn't in the list. It was very helpful, I really appreciate it!!

So that didn't work on the leak 2.1v3 I would have thought it would have seeing its the same as the ota. I really hope someone finds a way to root the leak or at least roll back

I'm finding that people are extremely RUDE in this forum!!!! For the freakin love, people, if someone doesn't know something, just help them out!!! Stop being ****heads to people just because YOU know or YOU are annoyed!!!

Try being USEFUL instead of ATTACKING!

I've decided to use the walkthrough since the last time I checked the master app wasn't available.

My question is...am I safe in assuming that I can choose a different Eris ROM than the one provided in the Flash a Custom ROM step?

found out i accidently downloaded the piece of crap leaked version no no root for me..pisses me off if it says 2.1 root it should be, not the crappy v3 leak

 

[saintdice]

That brings up the question of how to tell you're getting the right root file. Anyone?
