*UPDATE* Works great so far, it does do a wipe of the user data though so be sure to backup anything you might want to hold onto

2.1 For Eris Has Leaked

For those of you who have the Eris and have been waiting for a little love to come your way, we may have it for you here. There is a leaked ROM out of China that is now available, however this may not be the final version for the Eris and it may be several months before Verizon actually releases this. However if you're and adventurous type and can't wait, this may be something of interest to you.

It says choose the "hboot" option.

I only see Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Boatloader..........

Which is hboot? I'm a newbie

You have to admit.. This is clever on HTC's part... Leak the ROM, get the public to test it, look for any bugs, and provide feedback. Then when the "official" rom gets released it's 100% bug free and HTC gets praised for having a problem free release...

just tap the power key over Bootloader is what i did and it went through everything to look for the rom and then it will ask you if you want to update and then its pretty much on autopilot once you select yes to update

*edit* oh and btw youtube app works now too
