A one-click rooting app for the HTC Droid Eris has been released. Unlike other rooting methods, the device data will remain intact with the addition of a rooted operating system. The application does feature a donation requirement, but instead of requesting donations for the development of the application, the application requests that donations be made towards the homeless youth or an outreach program.
Yet another reason that I love the xda-dev community. I donated to my local Pius even though I’m an iPhone user; Cheers jcase!
