To whom who also want to try, please use the files in this post and follow the instructions in How-To [Root] The myTouch 3GS if you updated to Offical 2.2.1 and lost root.

Liberty version of needed files:

(1) Engineering package: liberty-eng.zip is attached.

(4) Stock firmware: Download LIBEIMG_Liberty_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.35.707.5_Radio_47.41.35.10_7.09.35.13_release_138500_signed.zip and rename it to LIBEIMG.zip

(5) ClockworkMod Recovery: Download recovery-clockwork-2.5.0.7-liberty.zip and rename it to update.zip​
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Excellent! I have some things to try when I get home.

Question: When I push this image file to /data/local should it be misc.img or mtd0.img? Does it make a difference?

Scratch that...looks like you did the work.
[HTC Aria General] ladios:
No, it doesn't. In this command

/data/local/flash_image misc /data/local/[COLOR="Blue"]mtd0-or-misc-or-whatever.img[/COLOR]

1st parameter "misc" is partition name, this one CANNOT be changed.

2nd parameter is the path to the image file you want to flash. The filename can be anything, as long as it's a valid filename.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Basically what I have achieved is to downgrade to a 2.1 rom but I still have hboot 1.02.0000.

During the update process hboot is bypassed.

Next problem: Once the update process is finished it wants me to reboot but I have no options that I see to not reboot, holding down volume does nothing.

Can I get around this with adb somehow? Sorry for the noob questions.

Oh...forgot to mention, I did not use the rom you linked to as it would have taken me a day to download. Used a hex editor to adjust the mtd0.img file to match the region code of the rom I did use.
[HTC Aria General] ladios:
Bypassing hboot update is expected, but missing an option not to reboot is unexpected.:( Did you try everything? Press/hold, vol up/down ...

Adb won't work because it's in fastboot mode at that time. Fastboot doesn't have a command to reboot into recovery.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Tried both down and up...long enough I think.
[HTC Aria General] m a r k:
Does it need to be powered in reboot? What if you just pop out battery for sec then boot up, also a noob here
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Tried that, when you boot back up the phone will re-load the LIBEIMG.zip but will not ask you to update due to versions. Once it is done loading then checking your only option is to boot the phone again.

I figured I would try and be sneaky and remove the sd card and pull the battery again. Once I got to hboot I put the sd card back in and went to recovery and tried to run update.zip. Got a signature error and it wouldn't load it.

Tried this as well:

http://android.modaco.com/content/htc-desire-desire-modaco-com/310970/how-to-downgrade-hboot/

I got excited because everything seemed to go perfectly but when it was all said and done I still had hboot 1.0.2.

This is a fairly easy way to downgrade your rom if you wanted to though. Honestly the official 2.1 seems smoother than the official 2.2 to me and I know that should not be the case.
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
Just wanted to say thanks you to everyone who is working so hard to get the Aria rooted again. You guys are so close!:)
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
This method won't work - Hboot 1.02 is newer and has that exploit patched as well. I tried this months ago.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
I bashed my head against this wall and the wall won. Tried various things along this line and finally gave up. Just waiting for the payg clip to release at this point.

The sad thing is that I put the ATT official 2.2.2 rom on my phone just to see if I could get it rooted again somehow.:D
[HTC Aria General] yizhixi:
well, i'm in china, not able to ship abroad...

waiting for talented developers to solve this.
[HTC Aria General] ksprelude01:
Im thinking Alpha Rev 2.0 http://alpharev.nl/ is our only chance is getting the aria to s-off state so we can write the old hboot back onto the phone. Other than having the XTC Clip... Hopefully soon he will release the new version 2.0 soon.

I was hoping the s-off was as easy as it was with my Inspire 4g to get it back to the stock desire HD Hboot.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
The only problem with the Alpharev method is that the current version requires that your phone be rooted, I would imagine it will be the same with version 2.0.
[HTC Aria General] mtnlion:
Attn1 confirmed that awhile back.won't help with the new hboot.
[HTC Aria General] ksprelude01:
I know the Hboot on the Inspire 4g has the same problem having to have s-off to really do anything to the phone and you have to have a gold card to install the desire hd'd hboot and bootloader. But you just have to run some abd commands to get the number to make a gold card. So why is the xtc clip the only way to make a gold card? is the adb commands that are able to be used on the inspire blocked on the aria?
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
It's not a problem of making a gold card with the Aria. The problem is even with a gold card, there's no way to downgrade the HBOOT. The XTC Clip can put the phone into a diagnostic mode that lets you disable NAND lock.
[HTC Aria General] ksprelude01:
Ahhh ok I understand now! Wow that's really annoying. I'm sure the amazing people here on XDA will find some way around this problem.
[HTC Aria General] Theonew:
A future version on unrevoked may do the trick since a recent version for the htc evo has been released when it had the same problem as the htc aria. Also in your signature, you said "dang htc". It shouldn't be directed to htc, it should be directed to at&t. They request the rom and tell htc how they want. So htc has to co-operate.;)
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
No, the HBOOT code is all HTC. Even the non-branded Aria/Gratia around the world have the same issue with HBOOT 1.02. The Wildfire is also in the same boat and it has never been offered by AT&T. AT&T had nothing to do with it.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Agreed, although I'm sure AT&T doesn't object. :D
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
I have an insurance replacement phone arriving today. I'm hoping that it's been in a box on the shelf for a few months and has not received the 2.2 update.

Will power-on + vol-down show me whether I've got the old version of HBOOT that will allow me to root?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Yes. If the phone hasn't been updated, then you should have HBOOT version 0.57
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
grrrrr... It's got 1.02...

Due to a shipping screwup, I'll have a 2nd one in a couple of days. Will try the same thing..
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
Yes, it will.

Edit: Oops, responded late.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
You're probably gonna get another 1.0.2 phone. Find someone to send your phone to and have them s-off it for you. Then you can do whatever you want to it short of putting the official rom back in. I sent mine out yesterday to get it s-off, I had 1.0.2 as well.
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
Yeah, I'm expecting another 1.02, but one can hope..

Here's another thought.. I can't root. That sucks. But can I still sideload? My biggest problem is that I no longer have Swype or EasyTether. If I can get those two apps working, then I can probably stand to wait until someone finds a way to root 1.02..
[HTC Aria General] mtnlion:
Google sideload wonder machine.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Pretty sure there is a way or two to sideload. I was able to use superoneclick to gain temp root.
[HTC Aria General] CallMeAria:
This.

Its how I put .apk's on my brothers non rooted att phone.
[HTC Aria General] Freemantig:
Where might I send my phone to for s-off. Pm me with an address or something if possible.
[HTC Aria General] Suleeto:
I've been tryinng to find someone in southern California with the clip...
[HTC Aria General] flavoric3:
Is there anyone in Northern Virginia with a clip?

I know it's not much, but here's to hoping the developers come through, because I'm new and useless at this.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
After not having any luck on the software end I sent my phone off to have it XTC clipped. Just got it back today and how sweet it is!
[HTC Aria General] ECEXCURSION:
Nice, I'm glad you got s-off back. I felt kinda bad after you said you updated just to try the goldcard root. (at least I think that was you)
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
No need to feel sorry! At the very least I would have gotten a payg clip and done it. It was cheaper to send it off to someone though. Thanks though.
[HTC Aria General] Moh_Jay:
How much was it?

Signatures are fancy.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
it's $25.00 including USPS flat rate return shipping.

Add your outbound flat rate shipping to that ($8.75 , with delivery confirmation and $200 worth of insurance) to get your total cost.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Sent mine out on a Tuesday and got it back the following Saturday using the same shipping method attn1 mentioned. 4 day turn around is plenty fast, not that it will be that fast every time but it was for me.
[HTC Aria General] xboxhaxorz:
I will be getting mine in soon. PM me if you want it done.
[HTC Aria General] ECEXCURSION:
No offense, to you or your xbox modding company, but you've never done it before. I would really only recommend the guy attn1 suggested.
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
attn1 hooked me up and everything went great.
[HTC Aria General] xboxhaxorz:
I will do it on mine before i offer. Of course if i ruin a customers product i replace it, so no risk with me.

HBOOT 1.00.0000 and S-OFF.

Hi,

what should I do next to install clockworkmod or just cyanogenmod 7 if my device has HBOOT 1.00.0000 and S-OFF. like this :

pictureup.cz/media/images/09052011/b059c68370449df7fb88438adf6e82ebc3bf4e5f.jpg
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
I would download the unrevoked tool and use it to install clockworkmod and root your device or at least try. Odd hboot, what version of android you running?
[HTC Aria General] Martinak88:
I forgott to say that, I have already tried unrevoked tool without success. I am running Android 2.2. Flashing from Ubuntu 10.04
[HTC Aria General] ladios:
Not sure if this would work on non-ENG SPL/HBOOT:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod-2.5.1.7-liberty-offmode-charging.img
fastboot reboot
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
No, it won't.

This should:

Since he is already radio S-OFF but not ENG S-OFF fastboot flash image won't work directly, but he can try this:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip clockwork2501.zip
fastboot reboot

MD5: 5d01f06af3ce99f27d23cf8a2df47926 clockwork2501.zip
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Can he use RUU to flash back to an official 2.1 and use unrevoked from there?
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Not as simple as just above, but yes, it should work with radio s-off.
[HTC Aria General] ladios:
wait, radio s-off is nand unlocked, right? how about simply run flash_image in adb shell?
[HTC Aria General] Martinak88:
Thanks, but it doesnt work. See : http://pastebin.com/vcRPKA1K.

Bootloader is still HBOOT 1.00.0000 , nothing changed. Any idea?
[HTC Aria General] Martinak88:
you mean to flash that unziped clockwork2501.zip image with flash_image tool in device?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
The posted steps should have flashed ClockworkMod recovery to the device, but does not modify your HBOOT version.

From the HBOOT screen you should now be able to select RECOVERY and it will take you to the ClockworkMod menu.
[HTC Aria General] Martinak88:
Thanks, you are right. Now, I am backuping stock system and going to install cyanogenmod7
[HTC Aria General] Noobla_Khan:
Yep was thinking from process dump he posted that the process did exactly what it was supposed to do which was flash clockworkmod...not change hboot.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Yeah it worked - perfectly. Your pastebin clearly shows that it flashed clockwork recovery and you can now flash custom ROMs. You don't need to downgrade the hboot once you have s-off.

[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Yes, that would work too, but it is less safe than using RUU when flashing things like hboot and radios. With S-OFF, the RUU method is the best way to do those things. Recovery is not required for boot, so it that case it's okay, though more complex. You need to push flash_image to /data/local, set perms, push the image, check the md5sum, then flash. It's easier just to do it the way it was done.

You could replace the recovery image in that zip file with an hboot image and change hboots this way - taking care to check md5sums. Once you have radio S-OFF, a lot of possibilities open up.

Update with paulobrein G2X pre-dexopt patch

OK. I did not originally create this, however I did the mod on other phones.

I have attached a file for the ones like me where 5 gigs of unlimited (oxymoron) data is not quite enough. I can not get CW to work with mount/data, so I went with this method :):

1. DO A BACKUP FIRST!!!(The first time I did this I went in to never ending boot loop!

2. Download file, extract it, and place it on your SD or Internal memory. (Just remember where you put it.)

3. Go to settings, Wireless & networks, mobile networks and check everything except "Use only 2G networks". (When you do this you will not be able to access this again.)

4. You must have Root Explorer installed.

5. Open Root Explorer and go to the service file you downloaded. Hold down over it and select copy.

6. Now go to system/framework, click Mount R/O and select paste. Select yes to overwrite the file.

7. Close out of everything and go to Rom Manager and select "Fix Permissions".

8. Reboot and you should be good to go.:)

Proof for all the skeptics. Look at the download speed, time and battery %:

ONLY USE THIS WITH THE STOCK ROM!!!View attachment 579089
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
The G2X pre-dexopt patch (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1051616) posted by paulobrien which fixes lags utilizes the services.jar as well. Did you edit that services.jar file or the stock one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] catalystcorp:
The stock one. Did paulobrien edit the services.jar? If not the only files removed were the 7 throttle files, so it should work together. At least mine does. I loaded his after I fixed mine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KRAZYADROIDMASTER:
What does this do???

:confused:WHAT DOES THIS DO???

I am new to posting but been a long time reader.

waiting for my new phone to get here tommorrow and I am actually off from work tommorrow so I have a long time to get to know my new phone.

Upgrading from a rooted G1
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joackie27:
Why don't you edit the services.jar that he uploaded and then post it here? That way, the services.jar you have here will have the G2X pre-dexopt patch as well as the data throttling removed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] catalystcorp:
OK, give me a while I will.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jlevy73:
So how exactly does this prevent TMO from receiving data info from your device? Does this block the IMEI? I ask because I know a lot of people who've tried and failed in bypassing TMO's ability to throttle your device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I thought back when this came up in the Vibrant forums that it didn't affect the communication with T-Mobile, it just removed the software command to the phone to throttle down. I could be dead wrong however. I do most of my online work while on wifi, so I've never had a need for this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] catalystcorp:
OK Has been fixed with paulobrein G2X pre-dexopt patch!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] catalystcorp:
I can say it works! My wife has over 9gigs on her phone now. T-mobile sends you the text that they are slowing you down, however there are 7 files in the service jar that are used to activate this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
There was an extensive data throttling thread a few months ago (which I think is closed) where throttling files and other counter files were removed/modified, but nothing was effective at the end. It was the the opinion of most that the throttling was done on the TMo servers. Some posters even moved their SIM to another device, but after initially working, throttling came back.

I will be surprised if this stops or restores throttling. Someone who is near the cap will have to give it a try to see if it works.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
also coming from a vibrant trying EVERYTHING to make there methods work

from:

edited service.jars

to VPN change

to signal tower change

to keeping wifi on and then leaving the wifi area

i will only say this once.....

YOU CANNOT DEFEAT THROTTLING (T-mobiles throttling)

not doubting your work but its highly doubtful this will work with everyone

after trying all of the vibrant methods and even some of my own... i ended up being throttled for 3 months straight.... they couldnt even fix it........ thats how a got the G2x cuz i was ready to cancel (they where gonna waive the ETF) and offered me a phone for the wrongful 3 month throttle

if this does work... (trust me i will be trying it as im @ 1.6GB of data ATM)

i will donate!

thanks in advance if it works

if it doesnt good try!

(im not trying to sound Ignorant but this really hasnt worked sense the G1 days)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
its true... ive dealt with A LOT of "android specialist" (i use that word freely cuz half the time they dont know what the F is going on)

and every service ticket/help desk ticket they said they put on my account was sent through

THEIR

"engineers" they have to remove/fix it from the server to the tower..... so again... not to sound ignorant or arrogant but its highly unlikely (even though i wish it would work) it will work
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
So, this will help with those of us that just came to t-mo and got stuck with the 2gb throttle as well then?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I'm looking forward to the test.

Post up a speedtest result along with the throttling text.

Maybe a screen of the t mobile my account app's data readout.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nate420:
my guess it is should (if it works)

but may need modification from 5GB cap down to 2GB cap

not sure tho just my interpretation of the IDEA to modify the service.jar file(s)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
So I see in the screenshot of speedtest your running cm7...what's the deal? Anyone else notice this.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I see that it's a custom framework and services.jar. Why do you say it's CM7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
The way the battery meter is thin with the percentage. Its an option in cm7. Its def gingerbread or gb theme....but it looks like cm7. And since we don't have any roms out its just a guess
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Just booted up MT4G with cm7 - that is the theme.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
Its easy enough to go into framework-res and change .pngs. Just try this for yourself and if it works, awesome. If not, tough luck... We all have to succumb to the big mans rules.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] infinityhombre:
you could always switch to the 5GB or 10GB option and have it backdated as a way of purchasing more data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tackleberry:
I just gotta know how in the hell people use so much data lol.

G2x with faux AOSP
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
I usually hit my 5gb cap in the last week of my billing cycle.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjdill:
Really hope this works 3 days into billing cycle and over 3 gb used.

Has this worked for anyone who did it before you got throttled?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
10 days, 3.5 gb this month. Its the streaming netflix and dling and flashing constantly. Not to mention 10mbps dl speeds. Bottom line is, tmobile could easily handle twice the throughput they allow us to use without throttling us. Corporate F'in america, and we sign their paychecks...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ryukou:
It's working

Hi, people some of you maybe don't believe this patch is working. But for me it's doing the job and you can see it in the images. They have the day and hour. I make the test today and I'm very happy!!!! Thanks, catalystcorp. :D

What Rom, I'm using read my signature.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Yuhfhrh:
So how would I go about doing this on cm7? Is there something different I would need to do? (Sorry I'm new at all of this android stuff lol)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinoyqt:
your last test was 06-02-11.... and today is 6-04-11
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eviLutions:
Today is 6-02-11.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
Rofl! I don't know why this was so funny to me.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
Great to hear its working for someone! Ive been on ultimate 1.0 for over a week. With this and pauls patch. So I'm at about 3.5 gb used out of 5gb. Monthly limit ends on the 21st, so I'm anxiously awaiting the 5gb cap to see if I get throttled. At the same time, I'm being somewhat conservative and using wifi just in case it doesn't work ;-P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
imho, I believe it is this thread that caused it to stop working.. There are multiple tmo employees on these forums. Be rest assured, someone reported this to the net/sysops.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eviLutions:
Of course. I'm sure some of them is def gonna try to get that raise.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eviLutions:
You're probably from the other side of the world. Todays date is 6-03-11 in the states.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chance Ill:
Will this method work for other devices or is device specific?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EmceeGeek:
those are very slow speeds for this to have worked. you drop to 2 after they throttle.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjdill:
They throttle me to under 100 kbps everytime. Which Makes the phone useless.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crx4xharder:
Still 3g though, not edge. Maybe he doesn't get 4g...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hunter10m:
This does not work any more, T-stupid mobile got to us, is there any other way to remove the throttleling i been up and down google with no luck, -_- got m hopes up for nothing
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eviLutions:
Exploits like these should never be shared in a public forum. We're showing them how it's done so it makes their job a lot easier to figure out a patch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hunter10m:
Scratch what i said earlier, i been reading all the post, all 20 pages of them. Now from what i understand the patch has to be put before you get throttled. I have 2 G2x's one of them is throttled and the other one is not, i applied the patch on the one that it is throttled and it did not work. After i read all the post, my hopes are back, ill apply the patch to the other G2x before it gets throttled see if it works. ill put up my stats later it is 3 am and i am freaking tired.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dc2rjun:
I have been getting the throttle message from tmo, and I dont even get throttled, I didnt even use the patch after the first time, not even sure the patch works now??

I reflashed from diff. roms since the first time I used this hack.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjdill:
This didn't work for me the second I hit 5 gb I got throttled
