Hello jinniq51,

i have some tips on how to do it hope it helps :D

Settings
In this menu, you can adjust various phone
settings. To reset some menu settings to their
default values, select Restore factory set.
Tone settings
Select Menu > Settings > Tone settings and from the available
options:
Ringing tone-To set the tone for incoming calls
Ringing volume-To set the volume level for the ringing and
message alert tones. If you set Ringing volume to be level 2 or
above, your phone rings with the ringing volume ascending
from level 1 to the level you have set when there is an
incoming call.
Vibrating alert-To set the phone to vibrate when you receive a
call or a text message
Message alert tone-To set the tone to sound when you receive
a text message
Warning tones-To set the phone to sound tones, for example,
when the battery is running out of power

To change the ring tone, press Home > Menu, then tap Settings. Tap Sound & display > Phone ringtone. Tap the ring tone you want to use, then tap OK. The ring tone briefly plays when selected.

Also, take a look at these Droid Eris tones: http://www.exectones.com/

Go to menu>my stuff> tools >utilities. Scroll down > my voice.
Then press record .
To set it as your ringtone:
Go to menu, settings, then profiles. Then it takes you to flight mode, silent, vibrate, ring, and etc. On the side it says options. Select it. Scroll down to customize. Then just change the ringtone or scroll down to message tone.

Not sure what solved the problem, but I went through all the windows sounds, testing each one to see if it played. After doing that, the ring tone was restored and everything back to normal. I hope this can work for someone else with the same problem.

go to mp3 play the song you want to use as the ring tone, while it is playing press the menu icon on the screen (to the left of the volume) when the box pops up it should say set as ringtone.

MP3 format file are for you to listen to.
.mid, .aac, and .amr file extentions are ring tones.

You can download ring tones from:

By not bothering purchasing ringtones from Cingular. Purchase "Motorola Phone Tools" and let her create her own ring tones. :) It will save you money in the long run, BELIEVE me.
