Few weeks ago I mentioned how some of the Droid Eris users were getting Android 2.1 OS update. Some of us began to wonder if the OTA update was finally being delivered to the Droid Eris users. But that wasn’t the case. With Android 2.1 OS OTA around the corner we come across leaked 2.1 OS update. Yesterday an HTC employee in China supposedly posted the ROM on XDA, what he posted was a valid 2.1 OS.
You can follow these directions to get your very own Android 2.1 OS. Follow these simple direction.
You can always go back to the original source for help XDA-Developers
Motorola Droid users you’re in for a surprise too. Phandroid has mentioned that:
Over at DroidLife, Kellex had to do a factory reset on his Droid and used the “fresh start” as an opportunity to test out the Motorola Droid 2.1 Update that had been leaked and posted a few days ago.
You can follow those links and get yourself started on it too.
-=VERY IMPORTANT=-
I highly recommend that you back up everything from your device before performing any of these steps.
A lot of you have been asking if you update your Droid Eris on your own, will you still be able to get the VZWs (Big Red) official Android 2.1 OS push?
The answer is no. If you loaded this IMG file you should not receive the OTA update when Verizon pushes it. Your phone will show that it is already up to date. Unless they change something major you will have to revert back to 1.5 and then wait for the OTA. But with this IMG you should be able to receive any future fixes from Big Red just not the 2.1.
I was going to give this a shot but I think I’ll wait for the official release by VZW. If the Big Red takes forever with the official push then I’ll just update it myself.

I like the new android update, although I think they could still design the android market to look a little better. I was also hoping the would change the droid incredible lock screen to something else.. It looks kinda plain.
