Root a Droid Eris with 2.1 ROM

[thesmitty68521]

I just got in an Eris that has the 2.1 ROM on it and I am not able to Root the phone. I have tried to downgrade to the 1.5 version and have had no success.

Does anyone on here have what it takes to downgrade to the 1.5 version so I can get this phone rooted? Thanks for your help.

PS. It appears this phone has the 2.1 leaked version. Thanks for any help.

Smitty, we're you getting a "wrong image" or a "no image found" error on the recovery install? I got this error on Eris with 2.1, put same sd card into a 1.5 Eris and got same problem. Never goes to "Push Activate", just sticks there.
