Well don't I feel stupid. HERCIMG.ZIP not HERCIMG.zip. well it worked and I got the recovery working but its not letting me glasnost ANY other recovery than cwm 3 :/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
I'm pretty sure the reason rom manager was failing is because you had an unsupported version 3.0.0.5. Try this: rename that image to version 2.5.0.1 or 2.5.0.7 (leave the rest of the image name the same) so rom manager agrees with it and then try to flash a different one. Also afaik if you have rom manager it doesn't want you to use TE either, so it may disallow flashing thru there. Yet another reason I dislike rom manager, you should just delete it :) If you can flash a recovery using a HERCIMG.zip (I assume this means you are s-off) it will take any recovery you give it, there are no safety checks or signature checks at all.

My girlfriend has bought a HTC Aria from operator Digi (Malaysia) with 1 year contract.

today is just 5th month and she dropped the phone from her pocket.the screen just cracked as it just so short distance and low force dropping.

We went to claim for warranty as it's not cracked cause of knockedand we were rejected for warranty.

In the warranty statement listed: This limited warranty does not cover physical damage to the surface of the product including **but not limited to cracks or scratches on the LCD screen or camera lens.**
[HTC Aria Accessories] ECEXCURSION:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but...

It makes sense to me that the warranty would be void if you drop it, unless you had purchased insurance on the phone that explicitly covers such damage. The warranty is there for product defects, not for consumer damage. Almost all phone manufacturers (same think with computers/TV's) will void your warranty if you break the screen.

You could try repairing the screen yourself.
[HTC Aria Accessories] bonesy:
WOW THIS IS A REALLY LONG LINK TO A NEW LCD SCREEN!

T5 Screwdriver,Phillips Screwdriver, Hairdryer (for heating up the screen to remove it) Job done.
[HTC Aria Accessories] drumist:
I'm assuming that the OP's screen is fine. It's the digitizer that he is talking about. You'd have to drop it pretty hard to break the screen.
[HTC Aria Accessories] unsivil_audio:
Not really, its Gorrilla Glass, which although is more scratch resistant and less crack prone; is also more brittle. And all it takes is one good drop.
[HTC Aria Accessories] ECEXCURSION:
Since when did the Aria have Gorrilla glass? Regardless, the glass you're refering to would be on the digitizer (the thing you touch), not the LCD screen. As drumist said earlier, you'd have to drop it extremely hard to break the underlying LCD glass.
[HTC Aria Accessories] drumist:
The Aria digitizer is not made of Gorilla Glass.
[HTC Aria Accessories] sluzi26:
The 2 foot drop that splintered the top right half of my screen on to a soft wood laminate floor says otherwise. The Aria is NOT a Gorilla Glass phone.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Gorilla800lbs:
I dropped my Aria many times, from different heights and onto different surfaces. This pattern of abuse logically resulted in the screen cracking when my little Aria slipped out of my unzipped jacket pocket onto a hard granite floor in my office elevator lobby. Do I blame HTC for the lack of workmanship? No. They never claimed that their phones are shatterproof.
[HTC Aria Accessories] unsivil_audio:
You guys should do your research. The aria does indeed HAVE gorilla glass. Go look at the Corning website if you don't believe me. They list it under the devices containing gorilla glass.

http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/#featured-products
[HTC Aria Accessories] drumist:
Could be. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not completely convinced that their website is correct. It seems weird how much Gorilla Glass was hyped up for some phones (i.e., Galaxy S when it came out) if it was already used on nearly every Android phone, even the very first Android phone (T-Mobile G1).

HTC customer support has even said certain phones do not use Gorilla Glass, including ones listed on Corning's website. Although I don't necessarily believe HTC support either.

I have scratched my digitizer with my finger (not fingernail -- just the pad of my finger that you are supposed to use). I assume something abrasive got on my finger to cause that to happen, although I have no idea what or where it could have come from. The two scratches are right in the path where I normally swipe left or right to switch between home screens. Anyway, it wasn't like I was applying any significant amount of force with my finger so I find it hard to believe this is really Gorilla Glass. Unless somehow I got a microscopic spec of diamond on my finger? :P Either that or Gorilla Glass is not all it's cracked up to be.
[HTC Aria Accessories] ECEXCURSION:
Weird that it's listed on their site, I've always been under the same impression as drumist. They would have advertised it if they actually had it.

My girlfriend's Samsung galaxy s has gorilla glass and physically feels different. I've always been super paranoid about scratching the phone with my fingernails or other. I even keep an entire pocket dedicated to it.

I guess there's only one way to find out for sure though. Take a key and drag it across the digitizer. I nominate unsivil_audio for the experiment.
[HTC Aria Accessories] unsivil_audio:
Look at all the independent tests of gorilla glass on the internet. Probably one of the biggest gimmicks in phones today, and not nearly as durable as the name suggests. I'm not stupid nor gullable, I realize its still glass and is highly prone to cracks. It will not tolerate side impacts, which is why even a small drop can shatter it.
[HTC Aria Accessories] wiithepeng:
I guess Aria has Gorilla Glass? http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_aria-3392.phpLook at the display category. :confused:
[HTC Aria Accessories] Tokobo:
This. Aria's screen felt different from Galaxy S in my opinion too.

But maybe, gorilla glass only refers to the material? There could be additional coating (by other brands such as Samsung) or something like that.
[HTC Aria Accessories] ECEXCURSION:
It does not have gorilla glass. And even if it did, gorilla glass still breaks if you drop it on the side. My girlfriend shattered the screen on her Samsung vibrant last week. Just be thankful you can buy replacements for the aria. If you break a vibrant screen you're SOL.
[HTC Aria Accessories] unsivil_audio:
I guess ignorance is bliss.

[HTC Aria Accessories] FlyinHi:
I dropped my Aria once, it landed on it's bottom left corner, from about 3ft up on concrete. I have had the huge crack in it for several months now.
[HTC Aria Accessories] pa0lo25:
Physical damage on the unit is not covered under warranty for any brand. Crack LCD/screens is a prime example of abuse/negligence, and it is not covered by the warranty (this hold true with any gadget,TV,notebooks).
[HTC Aria Accessories] lambition:
Most mobile devices with glass digitizer is tempered glass.

Tempered glass is very strong when force is applied to flat surface. However, if it is hit on the edge or hit with sharp object, it will break rather easily.

Since aria has removable back cover, and when cover is removed glass edges show up, it is very likely to land on glass edge when dropped and break the glass.

This may be a design problem, but not defect.
[HTC Aria Accessories] johdaxx:
I just sent two Arias to HTC for repair for cracked screens. HTC's repair isn't particularly quick, but both phones came back like new. It's 100$ for the service and shipment, FWIW.

Both phones took several serious drops before they finally broke. :)
[HTC Aria Accessories] cybercod:
If you've got a delicate touch, and a tri-wing (read Nintendo) screwdriver ($5), a new digitizer only costs about $20. I just replaced one last week. Only took about a half hour, with me going super slow and checking with a tutorial video on youtube about every three-and-a-half seconds.

Good idea to have a tube of rubber cement to glue the edges down afterward.

After having done it once, I could do it again in 10 minutes.
[HTC Aria Accessories] Mediarocker:
Warranty does not cover stupidity.

Sorry, but of course you were rejected for warranty. It is

not

a workmanship issue when you drop your phone.

When you drop it, you broke it. The phone didn't break because it was constructed poorly (which is what the warranty covers).

On the argument of Gorilla Glass, the HTC Aria is indeed a Gorilla glass phone. I ran mine for months without a case and screen protector and never scratched it or damaged it. I ended up dropping it once in the parking lot but it didn't end up scratched or damaged. This occurrence however encouraged me to purchase an external case for it to help increase it's durability and low and behold, it lands on it's face and cracked the touchpad right on the home key.

Everything works fine. But it's still annoying to look at as I take good care of my devices. It's important to know, Gorilla Glass is still GLASS. But it is indeed (at least in my experience) much more scratch resistant than regular glass. It may depend on when your Aria was manufactured to when and if it may contain Gorilla Glass.

I nandroid to a sense rom and updated prl. Nandroid back to CM7 and then flashed Tiamat's latest kernel and Viperboy's aosp battery mod. Rom went into boot loop. I took out battery and went to recovery (using Amon-RA). However, in recovery, nothing shows up. I get a blank screen with just the build number of the recovery at the bottom of the screen.

Now my phone is useless and I need it as I am in clinical rotations in Akron and away from home. This is my only source for communication.

EDIT: I know this is the general section, but no one visits the Q/A section and I need immediate help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiffany84:
Well if it were bricked it wouldnt even turn on so your ok. When u boot into recovery, let it sit for a minute. I've had this issue while on sense based roms. When I boot into recovey it takes a minute for the menu to actually show up. It's just black screen with the version of amon at the bottom. Don't know why it happens but give it a few minutes and see if it eventually shows up.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
It wasn't flashed wrong because the version number changed from 2.1 to 2.3. When I originally rooted, it was during launch time. I'm using unrevoked now and everything is going smooth. I'm nandroiding back to CM7.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anthonyandrews:
Go to www.shipped-roms.com and go to the SUPERSONIC section....choose an RUU to download....I recommend the newest one, unless you have a special reason for something different.....

run the RUU on your PC, (meaning not in your boot loader recovery, or from your SD card.)

If you have a mac...it will take extra steps....but is doable.

You should be able to flash with an RUU and get back to normal...afterwards, head over to www.unrevoked.com and re-root your phone...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
okay unrevoked is the best way to do it.

i've seen issues with CM7 losing root... I think it has more to do with ROM Manager and flashing the recovery image wrong. I've actually had it happen. I am working on an app to flash recoveries/roms, and it was working fine, but then i flashed clockwork recovery from rom manager and it turned security back on, disabled usb, and disabled sd... lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it. I am still not sure what caused the problem, but I went to stock, unrooted and now I'm back rooted and nandroid back to CM7. All is working fine at the moment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jblazea50:
Yup, unrevoked is super easy to do. My second time using it (1st time I did my dad's Evo after I unrooted to take it to Sprint store).

Hi,

I just flashed a 2.3.3 stock-rooted ROM and well, as everyone is saying, the battery is draining way too fast!

On the actual post where i got the ROM, they provide a radio, but im a little curious about this who radio thingy.

1- I have a nandroid, restoring will bring back old radio?

2- is there a way to backup the radio if the answer to question1 is NO

3- what are the risks, and does it happen alot?, or is it a rare case?

4- they say it can brick the phone, is there any possible way to get out of that state?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjiki:
1- I have a nandroid, restoring will bring back old radio?

No

2- is there a way to backup the radio if the answer to question1 is NO

Download your original radio from this thread

3- what are the risks, and does it happen alot?, or is it a rare case?

Just read the Radio Thread.

4- they say it can brick the phone, is there any possible way to get out of that state?

Once it is bricked, just send it for warranty. Most probably, they will change with a new one since they can't really know what you have done to the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
Hmmm, if it gets bricked, then i wont have my phone for MONTHS! since im in a different country than where i brought it, and i dont have HTC support here.

anyway, i couldnt find my radio type in the link you gave me - mine being:

12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3

but ofc this is the one that came with the 1.32 FW when i was degrading, so can i just extract the radio.img from the PD98IMG.zip file and the flash it? or will it cause problems?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
You don't (can't) flash radio's in the same way as a ROM. Read the radio thread.

PD98IMG or the safer method IMO is fastboot (search if unsure what fastboot is).

Sent from my Ericsson T39m
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
na, i know what fastboot is....

but what im saying is...say i update to a new radio, and its worse than the last, can't i just take the radio.img from the 1.32 PD98IMG.zip file and use fastboot to flash it back?

Or say i found the 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3.zip radio file, can i flash that?

OR is the only way to go back to the radio by flashing a RUU?(because i heard that installs a new radio).

i have radio and eng S-OFF.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Not tested that method sorry.

Yes.

The great thing about Radio S-OFF and ENG S-OFF is it allows you to play with radio's.

Just to clarify, and this is aimed at others new to all this, the term "flash" in this case is referring to using fastboot command (think of it like adb but with phone in HBOOT - put very simplistically) to push the file to the phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
kol man, thanks, ...

i think the 1st method would work, cuz at the end of the day, when flashing the whole PD98IMG.zip it flashes the radio along with other stuff ... so just taking it out would, i presume, would work ...

i'll update my radio soon, maybe, and if its bad, then i'll try the method! ...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
No worries.

In theory method one should be ok as the zip is essentially a bundle of files and scripts. The only reason for hesitation is some .img files are slightly modified specifically for us with PD98IMG files.

But if it does work (and hopefully if not you don't get a brick) that would be good news as I often hunt down non PD98IMG versions of things and it would save me some effort.

Please, if not too much trouble, do keep us updated (no pun).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
wait .... by doing that i can get it bricked?!!?!?!?!? loool

then i guess im not doing it!, lol, im still in love with my desire hd!!! :D:D:D
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
IF, a BIG IF, the radio.img file within a ROM PD98IMG file has been tweaked in some way there could be a risk that pushing the file through fastboot could brick the phone. Doing anything with Radio files is possible the most dangerous thing you can do (certainly it's the only thing I do frequently that still makes me hold my breath).

My advice would be, if there is a "normal" zip file of the radio I'd take that and push it via fastboot (after checking the md5hash).

That may be an answer, see if the md5hash of the radio.img is the same from both sources.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CodeNameUnknown1:
i cant find my original exact radio.

i have found some radio near my current one( 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.15_M3) but they have a difference in the letters (i.e. Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M - without the 'U' and its .26_M, no M3 or .15)

i dont know what is the problems, is it the radio or just GB room don't allow the unsense louncher and desity settings..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Honest answer is I am unsure other than various protocols by various networks / manufactures (The "U" ROM I believe was provided by a specific network). There is something in there that determines if it is specific to HSDPA vs EDGE etc. but again, my memory fails me.

If you're willing to go on say so alone go for the second one as that's been tested thoroughly however, it is old so if you feel your signal, wifi, GPS isn't as good as it should be and when you're feeling more confident it could be worth trying some of the more recent ones

[EDIT]

Going back to something I said earlier, a PD98IMG file can be JUST a radio. If you don't want to use fastboot commands then here is a thread that contains PD98IMG versions of the radios.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr_JMM:
Not every ROM (and with it the Kernel) and especially home launcher apps are happy with resolution changes. Whenever you experience bugs like this the first step is reset things like resolution and then if still bugs remove any launcher you have added the ROM.

ARHD (Revolution) is a fantastic ROM and should be bug free.

Try LeeDroids as that is my favourite and I've never had a problem with it.

I see taht a lot of rooms have problems with resolution settings, (i am a litlle angry becouse the resolution on standard sense display is like the people are blind :D )

Hello potential helpers in the CM community.

So long full days work or android updating story short, I was running 7.0.2.1 and updated to 7.0.3 with rom manager. I decided to not wipe all data, but to just clear the dalvik cache. After the update all the apps tried to reinstall again. I tried to do a titanium backup restore on top of that and everything froze up. I rebooted and tried again. Same thing happened. So i reverted to the nandroid 7.0.2.1 and did the entire thing over again but this time wiped the cache, and the same thing happened. So I wiped the data and cache, did a nandroid restore to the original 7.0.2.1 and then tried to do some different options. i changed up th order in which I did a restore, what cached I cleared, and anything I could think of. But Now I am stuck at either my nandroid 7.0.2.1 or 7.0.3. Both of these ROMs work fine with no issues EXCEPT whenever I try to install an app it fails. I have cleared the market app data and cache, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas?

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GooTz66:
2 things.......

1. You should have posted this in the CM7 thread.

2. I would try reloading a fresh market .apk and see if that takes care of your issue. Usually just clearing cache and data will take care of those issues.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GooTz66:
Also its good to make it a habit to flash ROMs in recovery after a cache and dalvik wipe instead of using RM

So I ended up just reverting back to the nandroid and then flashing 7.0.3 before I reflashed the market. However the market worked fine right after reflashed the new version of CM. I did not change anything from what I did in the past, but it is fixed. Thanks for your. help.
