Aria S-OFF Succeeds, but CMR fails with UnRevoked and Revolutionary

No root. No recovery. No love.

I have a GSM Aria which I bought in Taiwan. I was getting ready to buy the XTC Clip to S-OFF my Aria with HBOOT 1.02, but I did another search and found Revolutionary. Yay! Thanks to the community for that.

Revolutionary throws no errors, but exits immediately after

Do you want to download (Internet connection required) and flash ClockworkMod Recovery? [Y/n] y

It appears nothing was downloaded. Rebooting the phone into HBOOT shows "Revolutionary!" implying that it worked, but choosing "recovery" leaves me with the normal HTC recovery -- no backup options or anything.

Userspace attempts to install ClockworkMod fail because I don't have root. Universal Androot fails to install root even though I have S-OFF.

I'm a little stuck and any advice would be helpful. This is going to be my first CM7 installation, and I'm not willing to do it without a backup.

Thanks in advance.

Daeng

p.s. all work done from an Ubuntu 11.04 machine, but I have access to Win7 if needed.

UPDATE: Z4Root got me root. That's a start. Rom Manager tells me that ClockworkMod is installed and updated, but attempts to reboot into CMR fail. I get a logo (which I can't post a picture of yet) that is a triangle with an exclamation point in it. If I hit up=power, I get the Android recovery screen and an error about cache.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You could try using android flasher to flash recovery. You can get it from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638 . The CWM image is available from here: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recoveries/cwm-4.0.1.4-liberty.img
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Don't use ROM Manager to install Clockworkmod. It won't work. Follow the directions I linked to in my previous post.

Getting root is not a start because it doesn't help you install a custom recovery.

Android flasher (what Theonew is linking you to) will work. This method just does the exact same thing that the link I gave you above does in an automated way, so if you are having trouble then you can try it. But it's very easy to use fastboot to do it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
How do I get updated to 2.2, my aria is currently running 2.1. I do use launcher pro though, not sure if that makes any difference. I'm tired of not being able to move my apps to sd card and im tired of being chained down!!! I need to be set free!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
In the Development section is a sticky post that should have a link to the 2.2.2 update. Once you install that, then you can use Revolutionary to S-OFF and root your phone.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawkeye2188:
I know this is a delayed reply, but I got around to updating and doing S-OFF and I'm pretty sure my phone is rooted. Any way to check? I have a new icon in my apps called SuperUser. If my phone is indeed rooted, what Rom should I install?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
You can check using this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en. Install any rom of your choice - I would recommend CM7 though.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
Well ever since buying my galaxy s2 I have been flashing different roms.

It's got to the stage where I'm flashing about ten times a day :eek:.

Anyway I decided to go back to the stock rom for my carrier and I've found I get better signal, and it seems to be just as smooth as custom roms, and dare I say even less buggy.

So do you guys go for custom roms, or are you happy with stock roms?

And for those that use stock roms do you use unbranded or the carrier stock roms?

Lastly for those on stock roms, do you root or are some of you completely stock untouched.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acronym:
I use MIUI myself. Though I have to say I understand what you're saying. Stock is usually a bit more stable. But all these custom roms are getting more stable with each day. Also I think it would be better if you put up a poll for this type of question :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
I have added a poll :)

Yeah you're right some of the custom roms are stable enough for everyday use.

But most of them seem to be a work in progress, but obviously that's a good thing as they are constantly improving.

And it's not as though stock roms are perfect.

By the way I don't mean any disrespect to any developers as they are talented and I certainly couldn't do any better.

But the main thing for me is signal, as it's a phone at the end of the day and if I can't make phone calls it's no good.

But even when flashing modems on custom roms I don't get as good a signal as I do on the stock rom for some reason.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seshmaru:
MIUI here, best looking android available IMHO.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJayEss:
Stock ROM. I spent sooo long trying different ROMs to get the decent battery life (~1% / hour discharge when idle) that so many people have claimed (and showed) is possible, and finally I've got it with the KF3 firmware, so I'm loathed to touch it again now!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teekkari:
Cognition ROM is the best one available, period :-)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I'm completely stock, with no bugs or problems relating to battery or pink spots or reception, and it's super fast and buttery smooth. Battery lasts me one to two days depending on how I use it, three if it's over a weekend and my 2G etc are off.

I learnt my lesson over custom ROM's on HTC Desire. They didn't add a single thing worth using to the stock ROM, were no faster, and certainly did not improve battery life.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JGS2:
No root either I take it?

You said completely stock so I assume no root.

Oh and are you using a generic stock rom or a the carrier branded rom.

Would it be safe to say that generic stock roms are sometimes better than the carrier branded roms?

Especially as some carriers don't release updates often
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Well yes as carrier branded roms may be thought of as custom roms as they have been altered in varying degrees by the carrier .

I'd have agree Cognition S2 KG6 1.4.1 (have yet to move on to 1.4.2 - happy with my phone as it is) is the fastest and most stable I've found so far. Brilliant battery life and fantastic connection. I dislike the stock apps of official firmware, so always flash a custom rom A.S.A.P. after getting a new phone.

hello everyone !!

when i want to flash my phone to litening v.6 its break and fail did apear in odin !!

how can i fix this damn problem ?

​
[Galaxy S II General] Krizp0:
Why the hell are you using the pit file and re-partition? Who even said that was neccessary?
[Galaxy S II General] TeeJayEss:
Uh oh! Won't help you now, but all the guides I've ever read say that you should almost *never* need to check the re-partition option, and if you think you do, go back and triple-check.

EDIT: Bear in mind I'm no expert, so you might wanna ignore this, but all I can think of suggesting is perhaps flashing a ROM which *does* need the re-partition option, like in http://androidflip.com/install-android-234-gingerbread-update-samsung-galaxy-2/

That said, this is assuming your phone isn't so screwed that you can't get it to download another ROM...
[Galaxy S II General] @LI™:
this pic is in stock ROM xxxkg3 !!

i didnt check re-part while flashing litening roms !
[Galaxy S II General] TeeJayEss:
So what state is it currently in? Is it hanging on boot up, can you still get to the download option on the phone (vol-down, home key, and power key)?
[Galaxy S II General] @LI™:
firmware upgrade encountered an issue . please select recovery mode in kies & try again !!

my phone stoped in this situation ! what is this ? in kies - recovery mode it wanna

a recovery code ! where can i get this damn code to recover my phone to health ??

can go to downloading mode but i cant go to recovery mode to wipe cache !!
[Galaxy S II General] dan@msx:
plug the phone into pc and open kies, and there is an option for "emergency firmware recovery" option in the later versions.

have you tried to flash an older rom (without re-partition or pit!!) via Odin?
[Galaxy S II General] HarryRag:
Just flash a stock rom in while in download mode (as you say you can boot into it with voldown-home-power combo), then after the reboot go to recovery and factory reset.

After that all should be safe.

You might want to try another version with repartitioning to get back properly.

I9100XXKG1 (https://hotfile.com/dl/123505846/5faca77/I9100XXKG1.rar.html) downloaded from samfirmware should work, never failed for me.

Sidenote: with the stock roms (3 files + .pit file) that contain the user_low_ship it is rather save to repartition (although there are a very few roms that don't work/flash properly but reflashing another rom fixed it), did that myself over 10 times to get full performance back again while flashing to often between several custom roms.

Just keep in mind, if you still can get to the download mode it isn't fully bricked, but just soft-bricked, and that last one can be fixed ;)
[Galaxy S II General] blue265:
Don't forget to reboot phone or pull battery. Once a flash fails you need to restart phone and put back into download mode. Otherwise it will not accept any flashes and keep failing. Remove repartition check as well

2. Your P990 doesn't support boot @ 1Ghz with 990mV.

Also.. managed to get audio working without glitches. xD Wanted to force minimal-freq while sleeping in pimpmy cpu.. did that, restarted, and all of a sudden there were no more audio glitches. At first i thought something had changed with the bluetooth fix kernel, and me not having voodoo sound control installed. BUT, i just installed it, still no glitches.

And now, disabled the force low freq, glitches again! Still, gonna try out the newest version and see if it's even better in general and worth using. Can't say current voodoo sound does much good anyways.
[LG Optimus 2x] lkhz:
* If you already using PimpMyCPU with someother kernel, Remove "Boot Settings" first

1. Reboot to CWM

2. Clear Cache

3. Advanced > Clear Dalvik Cache

4. Install zip from SD-Card

5. Reboot

Do Backup via CWM

CWM will be enough (If you scared, ;) do Trillium backup and Data backup manually)

You will have to install PimpMyCPU (or other) to OC

Yes, You can restore CWM Backup (boot)

Yes, CWM Backup (data)

So, newest kernel still has audio glitches. Force freq yet again it seems!

EDIT: back to my old kernel after many delays on the kernel (06/09/11) of the V21D .
[LG Optimus 2x] kfallz:
For me that seems to be the conclusion yes. As i mentioned earlier in the thread, can't remember exactly which kernel version number it is, but above .29 i think stuff starts acting up. Like for example the haptic feedback while using the keyboard, vibrations aren't smooth as they usually are, but random strong/weak all over the place.
