Nice, nice, nice. Finally got it to work. Here is how I did it...

1. Install HTC Sync, it has the driver so adb will recognize the aria.

2. Use attn1's original method

Ha, all it needed for me was the driver. I didnt need a gold card either that Ive seen in a few other guides and I left it plugged in the whole time.

I am running Win7 64bit and I did it with a PNY 2GB SD. Im sure it would have worked with the stock, it was just more convenient at the time to use the PNY one. Thanks attn1!
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
ok, so it appears attn1 could update the OP and include as requirement HTC Sync
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
On the 4th time now. With the Plug in I see that it is offline but when i unplug and then plug it back in the phone disappears from adb devices command. :mad: Still Nothing

Very Aggrivating I at least can install non market apps but the rooting so I can remove Apps is annoying
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
New Update. Got Ubuntu working with the Android SDK installed. tried the command ./loop.sh and it says permission denied run it with sudo and it says that it cannot find it

Thanks to another thread I found and r0man's tip I was able to boot in recovery going to start working on the next step

Finally rooted the phone. Unable to install 3rd party apps by the phone directly but still worth it. I can install from droid explorer
[HTC Aria Android Development] taliesin1077:
I have root. I used the "1 second delay" method of usb plugging. Installed the liberated Rom. Everything seems to be going awesomely!

Thank you to attn1 and Eugene and everyone!
[HTC Aria Android Development] taliesin1077:
Oh, forgot to mention... I am running win7 64-bit. Had to install HTC sync 2.0.38 before it would work. Had to repeat the recovery thing at least 20 times before it worked, and was getting very frustrated. Keep trying. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
just flashed and rooted two Aria's, one with B002 and another with B003 with step-by-step directions from attn1 (and shad0wf0x) - many thanks !

the key was using a linux bootcd (in my case Kubuntu 10 Lucid Lynx) and attn1 kindly provided a tools archive.

had no trouble getting into recovery with first phone, it took in one reboot (./adb reboot recovery and then ./adb devices -- bang -- it saw device on 1st try)

the second phone took about 10 reboots until it stuck
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
How did you get the ability to run 3rd party apps from the phone? Thats the only problem I have with the rooting. Well besides the phone being recognized

:D
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bantam Bytes:
All I can say is thank you attn1 and everyone else involved in this project. It took a few reboots but I was finally able to root my Aria. I also flashed Clockwork recovery then installed the liberated Aria rom. This is my first experience with an Android device. So far it is the best choice I have ever made.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
In the original Post, it states to copy the rom to the sd card, and to the tools directory o SDK. Is SDK running on my PC ? Is it installed on the SD card and then runnning on the PC? I can't figure out this part, and I cannot get my Aria to root.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
You will need to install Clockwork on the SD Card. That's the program that will allow you installed the Rooted Rom's on your phone. Yes you will need to install SDK on your PC and in a Dos Prompt if running windows you will need to navigate to the SDK\tools\ directory. In that directory you will need to install either one of the ROMS that attn1 has attached in the original post. I chose the rooted rom. It took me forever to root it and I even had to boot into Linux but it is now rooted and a much better phone for it. Hope this helps
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
OK I have the CLockwork Zip file. I dont see a program called clockwork in the zip file. Do need to extract the zip file to the SD card? I apologize for the noobness of my questions, but I am just getting into the android world right now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
No Problem from 1 noob to another. just place the zip file on your SD card that's it do not extract it just copy the whole zip file. The Rooted Aria Rom gets places in your /sdk/tools directory.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
ROFLMAO now do I unzip the Rooted AARIA rom in the tools directory or leave that as a zipped file. I am so used to windows that all this 'simple' linux stuff is hard for me!
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
welcome to the club I had to use Ubuntu to mount my phone in recovery because Stupid Windows never saw it, but yeah keep all the zip files do not extract them. Once Clockwork is installed you just tell it to install the zip file of your choosing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
My PC is just not seeing anything as an AVD. NO matter how I connect it.

OK well that Loop.bat file ses my ARIA when it is just on for normal operation. It never comes up in recovery mode.

What am I missing here? Should I be reformatting the SD card EVERYTIME I try this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] mtritsch:
That was my problem I eventually went with Ubuntu and used the command ./adb devices with superuser privileges and kept pressing Enter then Up over and over again and it went straight into recovery mode never offline. I did have to however install eclipse and the android software for eclipse to get it to work in Ubuntu. I do not remember off hand how I did it though. I just googled "Install Android SDK in Ubuntu"

Going to be offline for a bit though. Good luck
[HTC Aria Android Development] msyang20:
so does this mean that rooting ones phone will allow 3rd party apps installation, or...is that still impossible to do?
[HTC Aria Android Development] lieberman54:
I used the Linux script from bipolarben and the suggestions of schristopher to get the Aria recognized and then rooted in Linux 10.04 with attn1's ROM. I used the stock sdcard and the device was recognized in recovery the first time (after six or failed attempts "manually"). After four hours or so of research, the process took about fifteen minutes.

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] reddog:
Can not see device in recovery mode

Hi Everyone,

If you were like me and spent the last 28 hrs attempting to access your device in recovery mode.

I found the following step help me A LOT...

adb start-server...

I try in XP, Vista then Ubuntu...none of them worked for me...re-formatted flash in FAT 16 then FAT 32 nothing.

So right at the point of giving up...I ran adb start-server let it run...then as the device was booting up at the HTC screen with it plugged in..

I ran adb reboot bootloader...then Bang I got....

I could repeat this these steps over and over...with solid success.....but I must mention again I stopped trying in Windows and used ubuntu 10

So I hope this helps my follow members...
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
I had use ubuntu to flash my phone. after I got the phone flashed I use windows for everything else.

SuperUser 1.1 crashes

I have also found that SuperUser 1.1 also crashes.

You should update to SuperUser 2.2..works perfectly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jaxtripp:
Finally got my Aria rooted Friday evening after 6+ hours of trial and error. Some things that ended up working for me were:

PHONE

1. Make sure phone has USB Debgging enabled. Settings->Applications->Development->USB debugging CHECK BOX

2. Be sure "Charge Only" is the option you have checked in Settings->Connect to PC->Default Connection Type->Charge Only CHECK BOX

PC (windows)

2. In windows Device Manager, if Aria is showing up as a Mass storage device, disable. Highlight device, right click, disable.

These were the three options that helped me get my Aria to show up in Loop.bat

I encountered no hangups in the process beyond this point. Big thanks to the forum for all the help! :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dandrumheller:
Rooted! Thanks to all!

Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Attn1, Eugene, and the Unrevoked Team, as well as all those who posted of their trials and tribulations in the root process.

Tried to get the device to show in adb for about an hour last night before giving up, then tried again for about half an hour this morning before success. only difference was a different USB port. Used supplied 2GB SD card formatted Fat32 in an Ubuntu Box using Gparted. Ran the process on a WinVista32 machine. Success with ADB came when I only waited a fraction of a second between hitting power and plugging in the cable. Had been doing the immediate or 1 second wait before that.

Installed Attn1's Liberated Aria Rom, clockwork recovery, and the sideload patch. Just followed Attn1's directions in post 2 and everything after getting the device recognized in ADB worked perfectly the first time.

Thanks Again All!

Side Load Apps

I got a rooted Aria w/ the liberated rom, now I want to enable unsourced apps. I've searched and saw instructions on the first post but no luck. I use an Mac so in terminal do I do ./adb remount than enter this..echo "update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';"|sqlite3 settings.db with the parenthesis? Please I need help. I am a complete newb:(
[HTC Aria Android Development] xdafly:
on linux and mac prefix ./

the sqlite3 may also need ./sqlite3

on windows

cd\android\tools

adb remount

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db

echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db

adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db

pause 1

adb reboot
[HTC Aria Android Development] -Vampyre-:
you need to do all the instructions in the "common" area before and after the command for linux/osx. The commands before and after are the same for any os.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rolo12010:
I was putting ./ in front of the echo.... part and was skipping the last part of COMMON I left the sqlite3 as is did not need to put ./ in front. Thank You!!:)

Updated Procedure for quick (relatively) painless rooting

I have a 100% success quickly rooting two new HTC Aria's using the following steps I came up with accidentally (after spending several hours cussing, of course)

The second Aria worked on the first try, in less then 2 minutes using these (fairly) easy instructions:

The main difference is that I'm using HTC Sync utility's Drivers for adb

So note the third prerequisite (missing links as I'm a "new" user and I cannot post external [and apparently internal] links) :( so note original post from attn1 for original links, all credit goes to him for the process, I just got lucky with a quick process. Yay! No plugging and unplugging a million times!

Install the SDK and follow the initial steps from attn1 instructions:

(This is where I did it differently - easier and much faster) Make sure your phone is plugged through USB and turned on.

Set the Phone USB connection to HTC Sync.

enable USB debugging. (Settings -> Applications -> Development -> "USB debugging") (thanks thornburywn)

Your phone should now identify itself to your computer type "adb devices" to confirm

on your computer type "adb reboot recovery"

Your phone should now reboot into recovery

When the triangle/exclamation over phone graphic appears, hold volume up and press power. This will bring you to stock recovery.

Type "adb devices" your device should be listed with "recovery" written right next to it.

Continue on with regular instructions:
[HTC Aria Android Development] thornburywn:
Links for Updated Procedure for quick (relatively) painless rooting

Completed the steps above and it worked like a charm... Thanks!!!

Is this the latest method to obtain root? What are the chances of bricking the device?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
Does anyone live in Los Angeles that can help me root my Aria? I have threada thousand threads and I can't figure this out.

We (or at least I) need more dumbed-down instructions because I can't even get Prerequisite #1 to wok on my XP. I keep clicking on SDK Setup, I get the black command prompt window to popup, and then it disappears after a few seconds without anything else.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Joesalad21:
Have you tried the unrevoked app?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
To be completely honest, I don't even know what thread to follow. There is the first thread that attn1 started, then the other thread attn1 started about the unrevoked one, and another thread that states a "clarified" method.

So I am super confused. Maybe you can help me get started on the right path.

Does Unrevoked tool go on the phone first or do I have to root the phone first to get Unrevoked on it? See how confused I am?

I just got a 16gb micro SDHC with a reader and that should get to me by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I am super confused with a lot of things. Like my phone is still factory setting b/c I don't want to use it until I get the skin and screen protector, so do I still need a nandroid backup?
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Man, I am so there with you. I was afraid to ask where to start for fear of wasting someone's time here...The "Unrevoked thread" looks like something I could handle but right after he says, "it will also root you," in the next paragraph it informs you that you must already be rooted..what!? Then youre directed to some older thread that offers some quite complicated computering...oooeee shoot! So, should I ignore that part and assume that I'll be rooted after this apparently 5 min attempt? I am then supposed to "flash" this liberated rom, (or one of the many offered roms), right? That's TWO Processes here, right? What am I left with after the Unrevoked process? Will the phone work after this first process? Is it "rooted" at this point? Am I understanding this correctly? I'm a little lost as where to start.. Not to mention "clocking"......lol
[HTC Aria Android Development] oahceasgnikgneas:
Unrevoked is an application that you run on your computer. The newest version of Unrevoked (3.1 I think) automates the rooting of your phone as well as installs clockwork recovery.

After running unrevoked your phone will be rooted and have clockwork recovery. At this point you can install either the liberated rom, whatever custom rom you want, or nothing at all.

If you decide to install liberated rom, the most noticeable difference is removal of AT&T's preinstalled junk programs, the setting of google as the default homepage, and enabling of wireless N.

If you decide to not install a custom rom, the only noticeable difference between an unmodified Aria and one that has been rooted using unrevoked is that when you power off the phone when it is plugged in via USB, you will be taken to clockwork on the rooted phone. There, you can do things like nandroid backups.

With root and clockwork you can make these nandroid backups and completely restore your phone in the event that you flash some custom rom that you don't like or that is unstable/not fully functional yet I	think.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
That is an AWESOME answer! Thank you so much....I guess I will attempt this Unrevoked..maybe..right now.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
The Unrevoked tool now both roots and flashes custom recovery. It did not at first. The first post has been updated. The Unrevoked tool is absolutely the simplest way to root and flash custom recovery on your phone. The only time you'll have trouble with it is if you don't get Windows drivers installed correctly. Ubuntu LiveCD (you do not have to install Ubuntu to run it) works flawlessly.

Hands down, the winner is - Unrevoked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] HIroChi:
@attn1

Hey, I just rooted my Aria and flashed it with your ROM. I noticed that google search is NOT the home page. It says in your log that it should be. I must have done something wrong, any ideas? I used unrevoked's latest flash tool to load clockworkmod. Then I updated from my SD card where I had copied your ROM zip file.

Thank you for all your hard work!
[HTC Aria Android Development] mine4:
thanks to all

used unrevoked after some serious frustration Im rooted and ready to play

thanks to all that wrote with tips.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Which ROM did you use?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tilt4life2:
Thank you so much for this clarification. I have a few more questions I posted in here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7225823&postcount=8) but I don't want to clog up this thread with those questions. Could you take a look and see if you can help me out with those by any chances. Thank you so much.
[HTC Aria Android Development] HIroChi:
I used liberated_aria_b005_signed.zip

EDIT

fixed it by reinstalling and wiping cache
[HTC Aria Android Development] cropythy:
Follow the youtube video, i did and it worked better than following the steps alone

edit: Also i have root
[HTC Aria Android Development] dagamer1234:
is there a certain place i can down load sdk tools
[HTC Aria Android Development] shark0807:
Very nice! I followed the guide and got everything installed. It was a pain to get the phone to show up as recovery in adb devices, but after about 20 tries it finally showed up (you quickly find in our little Aria/Liberty/Intruder that the battery is a pain to get out of the phone). But yes! Now we can really start getting some cool stuff going.

I can't seem to find a way to easily boot into the Clockwork recovery mode. I tried all button combinations possible with no success, it would seem we may need to tweak it. It would seem that the Volume+ button is not associated with a boot mode, perhaps it can be tweaked to boot directly into Clockwork recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] thejrah:
Is this the time when we put a bounty on a kick ass 2.2 rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] :
how bout a recovery image first that is easy for the beginers then work on roms. Great job on figuring out the root process! Now to ship off that iphone and get the gem in hand.

THEN we can put a bounty on a kick ass 2.2 rom?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
So any secrets on getting adb devices to see the phone in recovery mode? I tried multiple times with 3 different sd cards and with different usb ports. I can see the phone fine when I restart it, just not while it is in recovery mode.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
* unplug usb

* start the loop

* select recovery, but dont push the power button

* plug in the usb and push the power button simultaneously.

* repeat through this step until it works. If you have tried many many many times and it just won't work, try a different sd card. This is the worst part of the whole process. Don't give up.
[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
Yay! I got it to work now.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but I kept my phone unplugged until after it was at the recovery mode screen, and then adb was able to detect it.

Also - it looks like it failed the first time because I probably had some weird software that made the Superuser program crash or something... because I got a crash notification and then never had the dialogue come up.

But it works now, and I'm happy. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Clockwork recovery after root:

adb is easier in recovery; almost automatic.

same procedure to get back to clockwork:

* adb push ota.zip /sdcard/update.zip

* enter the following on PC, but do not push enter yet.

* adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip

* select update.zip from recovery, when you execute it, wait until it is just beginning to verify the zip, THEN push enter on the PC.

What's happening is this: We are letting the recovery verify the zip signature on ota.zip but before it begins extracting the zip, we've replaced it with clockwork contained in update.zip. For whatever inexplicable reason, it loads. It's gone again at the next reboot, but from there we can do nandroid backups and flash roms, zips, etc, just like you did when you flashed slide.zip.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Yoshiofthewire:
Never mind, the gold card had fried the formatting of the SD card.

I quick format fixed it
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
This worked for me. Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] jschaefer313:
so if your using the slides recovery update what happened

do you have sence or some mytouch software in there
[HTC Aria Android Development] Yoshiofthewire:
It looks exactly the same.

Nothing changes.

This was almost as easy as rooting the xbox.

Now to see if this will work on my Backflip.
[HTC Aria Android Development] c1fe:
this worked for me too
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
Well I thought I had it. I done everything that was listed and all went great until I got to the spot to test it by using adb shell. When I type su I get a permission denied message. Any ideas?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cropythy:
Did you have the phone unlocked and click allow on the popup?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
Not getting a popup.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
did you

adb install superuser.apk
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
Yep. Tried doing it while it was running as well but got no popups. Maybe delete it and try installing it again?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
did you install the slideroot.zip from clockwork?
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
i got root and gave wifi tether super user permission but i cant connect
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
attn1 did you get it to werk? if so what version
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
I redid everything and I think I might have missed mounting the system in clockwork before installing slideroot.zip. Got the popup now :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] dale-mc:
So now that it is rooted, how do you set it up to sideload apps from places other than the google market place?
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
is wireless tether working for anyone?

Lol nevermind I just read the update

[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
By the way guys don't install set CPU I won't work properly and it will make your aria lag BAD

Het attn1.....If I do a factory reset will I have to do the root process all over again? I'm worried that set CPU has gunked up my aria.:(
[HTC Aria Android Development] eugene373:
Su will stay in /system/bin

The only thing you will have to do:

A. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery & mount system

then locate the Superuser.apk & adb push ( File Location of Superuser.apk ) /system/app

or

B. Do a Reset, but you will have to

adb install Superuser.apk again
