[HTC Aria Android Development] mysy:
I use HK version G9 , everytime i use unrevoked fail on last 'waiting for root , we didn't get root.'
[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
I'm on Mac OS X 10.6. The unrevoked web page has a Reflash.app just for us. I downloaded + ran it from both my non-admin account, and from my admin account, while the phone was USB charging in debug mode. I also tried, as an admin, doing a 'sudo su' in the Terminal before manually running the Reflash executable inside Reflash.app/Contents/MacOS.

I now have Clockwork, which I access through the ROM Manager app, and I can boot into it (Clockwork) and mount /system, /root, etc.; but "Fix permissions" says there was a problem running privileged commands, and my Terminal app complains that it hasn't permissions to ls root (even if I mounted it via Clockwork).

So, I don't have root then? I notice that during the process, hboot complains (on the phone) of missing LIBEDIAG.ZIP and LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card, and this happens I think three times (restart, hboot loads, hboot complains, restart, ...) before Clockwork loads up and the process finishes. Also, when I manually run the Reflash executable (i.e. not just double click the application), I get the following, repeated three times:

ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed

ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed

ERROR: usb_write failed with status e000404f

ERROR: usb_read failed with status e000404f

ERROR: Unable to create a plug-in (e00002be)

Searching google for LIBEDIAG reveals a whopping 1 un-answered post from 8/15/2010 by an Aria user, nothing relevant for LIBEIMG, neither for those USB errors.

I have nothing else connected to my computer, and the Aria was (and still is, as far as I can tell) working 100% OK. It's not unlocked but that shouldn't matter. The Superuser application is visible and lists the ROM Manager only.

SO. CONFUSED.
[HTC Aria Android Development] g4ess:
I just rooted my aria on my mac book pro it took 3 mins just dl the mac verson plug u phone in set it to charge only .. n let the app work ..
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
It sounds like you are probably suffering from the clockwork bug that occurs if you reboot your phone while the USB cable is plugged-in. It reboots to recovery and everything seems normal, but you don't have reliable write access to the partitions.

Shutdown the phone without the cable connected, then boot into recovery by holding down the VOL-DOWN button on the side and pressing the POWER-ON button. This takes you to the HBOOT menu. Wait a few seconds, then select recovery (using VOL-UP/VOL-DOWN and POWER-ON), then you should be good to go.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Unrevoked only provides root access sufficient to get it's job done, which is to install Clockwork recovery in place of stock recovery. From there, you can install properly rooted custom ROMs, or even drop back to a completely stock ROM that has been repacked to flash with Clockwork.

Start Clockwork as Gene Poole described just above, and flash your choice of replacement ROMS.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
Wow my confusion is embarrassing considering how savvy I think I am with computers...

Anyways, I rebooted as Gene suggested. hboot searched for the same missing .zip and .bnh files on the SD card, rebooted, and only then was I able to select Recovery and boot into Clockwork. Mounted system and root, booted into Android, and still couldn't fix permissions via ROM Manager, or use ls to view /root. However, as I understand from attn1, this is normal: Reflash roots the ROM only temporarily to install Clockwork; otherwise, I'm a normal user until I put another ROM on there.

Is that correct? If so, then there was no bug during the Reflash process. Booting up as Gene suggested doesn't change anything, it simply puts me in hboot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
hboot was not changed, but recovery was. When you select recovery from hboot, as you've discovered, you enter Clockwork instead of stock recovery, which allows you to customize the phone by giving you write access to the /system partition and allowing you to flash custom ROMs.

Unrevoked does a sort of root - not temp - but what it needs to get it's job done. Most rooted custom ROMS go a little further.

It's important to enter Clockwork by first entering hboot as Gene described, because entering it with USB plugged in usually results in instability of Clockwork recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
Well, I understand it all a lot better now. I'm waiting on hboot answers elsewhere on these forums (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9023050) but my current state is clearer: AT&T's modified ROM with a newly-flashed custom RECOVERY, from which I can flash my ROM and do other fun bits.

However, I see via hboot that I'm S-ON, whereas unrevoked's v3 wiki (http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/unrevoked3) says that it should be S-OFF. Nothing displayed on the Reflash program screen indicated failure... in fact, I distinctly recall "This was a huge triumph" and "I'm making a note here, this was successful."

Otherwise, total success on Mac OS X 10.6, took about 2 minutes.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, unrevoked didn't touch hboot/fastboot or radio to change security to s-off. That link is incorrect in that the s-off function/utility does not work on all Unrevoked supported devices - only on the CDMA devices. (more info here: http://unrevoked.com/rootwiki/doku.php/public/forever regarding s-on/s-off supported devices). On the Aria, after it's done flashing new recovery hboot is in the same s-on state it was previously.
[HTC Aria Android Development] NobleRodhos:
OK i have the Aria and I'm trying to root using Unrevoked3 and I'm getting the error message, "Failed to push Recovery. Terminating" I can't figure out what's going wrong here... I have the hboot drives installed... any suggestions?? I'm really trying to get this new CM6.1 installed
[HTC Aria Android Development] TORQUERULES:
Rooting newb here...

When using this tool to root will I lose my current ROM and have to install a new one? I am okay with my Sense 2.1 until I can find a good version of Sense 2.2 to put on my Aria. I REALLY WANT APPS TO SD!

Any links to a good stable Sense 2.2 ROM?

Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] TORQUERULES:
When I root with this method, can I delete ATT bloat-ware even with the stock ROM? Or do I have to have a custom ROM to do that?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
The act of rooting will not cause you to lose anything on your current ROM. Once you are rooted, you can boot into recovery mode and perform a 'nandroid' backup which will provide you with a complete backup to restore when you start experimenting with different ROMs.

Here is the link to the best Sense 2.2 ROM:

100 percent noob at all of this, i followed all the steps for this step by step and unrevoked stays stuck at waiting for device? what am i doing wrong?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Did you try that?
[HTC Aria Android Development] TORQUERULES:
Now have a rooted Aria with no bloatware and Sense 2.2! Thanks for all the help. It is sweet.
[HTC Aria Android Development] TORQUERULES:
I chose the deoxed Sense 2.2 ROM. I don't plan on themes yet. Did I choose the wrong one? Will my phone be slower deoxed? It seemed baggy at first, but seems fine now. Should I get the iced Rom instead?

Thanks

Clockwork recovery USB cord connected an charging

the phone will go to Clockwork recovery when shut down with the USB cord connected and charging

Is there a way to keep the phone off while charging?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
There never was. No.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
This has been discussed many times. The original Battery Charging screen was part of the original recovery, so even though you thought the phone was powered off when charging, it was powered on and showing the battery charging screen. The only difference is that the original recovery had a screen timeout and would blank the screen, whereas ClockworkMod doesn't have a screen timeout and won't blank the screen.

If you leave the phone powered on while you charge it, the LED indicator will change from RED for charging to GREEN when full charged plus the screen timeout will blank the screen.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FullScreen57:
Will this behavior go away if I uninstall ROM Manager?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
No, this behavior will not go away by uninstalling ROM Manager. If you want the battery charging screen back, you will have to replace ClockworkMod recovery with the original HTC recovery.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rbrunson1989:
Thanks for the explanation

Used a usb

I read through this whole thread today and when my phone arrived a 7 p.m. I had it rooted and installed with liberty in less than 15 minutes. Here's how.

I used linux live usb creator on my windows machine to make a usb of the distro that was to be a cd, so I already had this ready.It installed as karmic cola and cut the intro keyboard.

I disconnected the hard drive from my pc and booted from the usb choosing live mode. I then followed the instructions for the cd running reflash.sh as sudo from the terminal. I left it alone. My phone rebooted THREE times and then unrevoked said "done".

I then followed the instructions for "Allowing Non-Market Apps useing this cd".

I turned off the pc and disconnected the phone. I removed the usb and reattatched the hard drive.

I installed clockwork (rom manager) from the app market and rebooted the aria. I then ran clockwork (wich prompted me to actualy install the clockwork recovery part) and chose to install from sd and the liberty zip I had already placed on the micro sd AND to back the old phone data .

Clockwork ran backup, deleted files and installed liberty all in one step.

Sweeeet!!!

Thank you for making this so easy.

Unrevoked Root Not Behaving Like Root

I used the Ubuntu LiveCD to do the Unrevoked 3.21 reflash and root everything seemed to work ok, however the phone:

1. Did not boot into clockwork recovery when Unrevoked said done.

2. The "enable market apps" adb pull and push failed with permission denied.

3. Will not let me install Titanium backup or Busybox. (I tried these because I knew they required root)

4. Busybox Instsaller says the phone is rooted, however when it starts "gathering system info" it reboots the phone.

I was unsure if I should just try and re-run the Unrevoked software or if I should

flash back to stock with the .exe from htc.com and then try re-running Unrevoked.

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] talon_262:
I've tried multiple times to root my brother's Aria, with apparently no success in both Win7 x64 and shadowfox's live Ubuntu CD with reflash.sh. I go through the whole process, have all the proper drivers installed in Windows AFAIK, and start unrevoked 3.3...it does its thing. rebooting the phone into HBOOT, which complains of missing LIBEDIAG.ZIP and LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card (just like ninestraycats had an issue with).

Otherwise, up to when the phone boots up and unrevoked says "waiting for phone to settle", all appears to be going to plan...that is until unrevoked tries to install root, when after a few seconds, it throws up "internal error: am reporting error starting service" and the phone is definitely not rooted.

I've gone through just about every "unrooting Aria" thread here and have Googled around, to no avail...can anyone help me?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Is this an AT&T branded Aria or an unbranded Aria? If it is an unbranded Aria, which version of Android does it have? If it has Froyo 2.2 via the OTA update, then you cannot currently root this version using Unrevoked.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Crispysaturn:
I'm currently running an ATT branded aria, stock Rom, but am getting the same error. Tried to root on both OS x and windows 7 ( bootcamp)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
My suggestion to you would be to use the Ubuntu LiveCD method posted here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7449486&postcount=1

That method takes the whole drivers issue out of the equation.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Crispysaturn:
Gonna try this in a while- currently away from the pc bit will reply if it works.
[HTC Aria Android Development] thisisanepidemic:
all day headache

honestly i've been trying to root the aria all day... i was getting the same error as you in unrevoked. I believe that there is an issue with unrevoked 3.3 on the aria

i used this link instead

downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.1/reflash_package.exe

that worked much better and just so you dont waste your time your going to have the same issue using the Linux live disk because it goes and downloads the newest version of unrevoked anyway this has been the only way i have been able to get around it....

hope this helps

happy new year!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Crispysaturn:
that worked like a charm - thank you!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Right. We've confirmed a bug in the newest version of Unrevoked.

Run the earlier version from a stock Aria ROM (Android 2.1)

Windows Version 3.21: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash_package.exe

Linux Version 3.21: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash.tar.gz

Mac Version 3.21: http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/Reflash.dmg
[HTC Aria Android Development] talon_262:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I finally got the Aria rooted using the older unrevoked...also, I had talked to Shadowf0x on IRC and realized that the SD card probably was causing problems and needed to be reformatted, since it came out of a Samsung Jack and was not set up for the new phone.

After reformatting the SD card and flashing the newest stock ROM, I finally go it to go...now I can do whatever my brother wants to it (such as live wallpapers and getting the AT&T junk off).

remove htc sync and give it a go. I dont think you'll need it.

Edit: Read the FAQ. The windows version includes proper drivers. So after removing sync, install those.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Very, very cool - thanks for everything.

So everyone knows, no one on the Unrevoked team has an Aria. They didn't do this for themselves.

If it makes you happy, please send a few bucks to the EFF Org.

Report back here!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cropythy:
HTC Sync uninstalled and all I can get is Device *liberty *is not supported at this time.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Well at least we know you don't need the drivers. Looks like there's an issue with the Windows version.

LINUX!!!

You don't have to install it, just get a live CD and run it from that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
my screen just says "pushing recovery" any ideaS?
[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
Check and make sure you have the newest version. The new one was just uploaded. (that's the message the old one gave me when I tried it earlier)

I apologize in advance if you are using the latest version already and something else is wrong. :)

For the record though, I can vouch for the Mac version. It worked perfectly.
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
no work...tried everything like last time
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
It wont even acknowledge the phone is pluged in on any of my pcs
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
yeah, wait
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
how did you root your phone?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
ha - so you're done? It worked for you?
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
the slide methode....ive check via adb shell multiple times to see if i have root
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
i now have your rom installed though
[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
Yep. It worked perfectly. And I'm ecstatic, because now I can work on playing with my Froyo build on it. [It's not actually working (yet!), I'm mostly doing it to learn about Android's insides work.]

It's also extremely satisfying to start clockworkmod... I did it like 8 times, just because I could.

me = absolutely thrilled

Hell, I even gave EFF a few bucks. That's how good of a mood I'm in.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
when you rooted with the slide method, did you mount /system in Clockwork?
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
im pretty sure...but hell everytime i checked back it was always unmounted again
[HTC Aria Android Development] jasonyump:
Linux version worked fine for me! thanks for this!! i will be donating as soon as i get some money.

but it looks like the windows version isnt updated yet because when i tried it said "Device: Liberty' not supported.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
This is cool stuff. A week ago, there was no Aria. Now we not only have root, but we have custom recovery and custom roms starting to percolate.

I am anxious to see a cyanogenmod 6 port. Glad to hear it's worked out for you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Look, go back into clockwork the old way and flash my ROM. It's properly rooted. You only need to do it once more. If you want to go back later, you can do a nandroid before flashing.
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
interestingly enough reinstalling htc sync is what got it to acknowledge my phone was pluged in
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
yep I dont know why but that did it

food for thought for anyone thats stuck....maybe HTC sync is not so bad
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
hey, for people who've already flashed this - congrats. Now check this out:

Koush's ROM Manager
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Okay, is the flash working now?
[HTC Aria Android Development] _Opiate_:
I have now just sucessfully booted into clockwork with no cables or computers attached!
[HTC Aria Android Development] cropythy:
I am working on trying it in Linux but I was wondering to flash to your ROM do I follow the steps listed in your ROM threat or what?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Have you rooted yet?
[HTC Aria Android Development] cropythy:
Yeah, I'm rooted just downloading ubuntu (to try the linux live cd you suggested) and wanted to know if I just run from sd card once in clockwork or if i need to use command prompt
[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
Interesting... I just realized, if I turn off my phone and connect it to my computer's usb, clockwork recovery starts automatically. (instead of the little picture of a bubbling battery)

Is this a feature?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
If you are rooted, then try flashing the new recovery from Linux. Once you are in clockwork, yes, you flash roms from the sdcard - either method.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
We'll call it that, I guess.
[HTC Aria Android Development] rpearl:
Can anyone give me confirmation that a new, fresh download results in an unrecognized device "liberty" on Windows (or any OS for that matter).

If that is so, please give me the EXACT string, it will look something like:

Our windows builder has gone to bed :-( but we will build you a new version in the morning if that is so. Once again, only with a new, fresh download after this point in time.

Other things you should note: Make sure you have enabled USB debugging, installed the HBOOT drivers on Windows (they are included in the windows package, read the provided html document), and finally, authorize "adb shell su" with Superuser.apk.

We have had significant interference from HTC Sync, and HTC Sync includes no drivers that are necessary to get your phone to be recognized. Enable USB debugging, instead. You might try plugging in the phone without running our app to enable it to be detected, first.

Good luck, and have fun.

[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
I mean... I have to stretch my imagination pretty far to come up with a situation where this actually causes any real trouble for me, but it is a bit odd. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] rpearl:
have you closed the unrevoked2 application, or is it still running?

(or this might just be a weird Aria uh... feature. It's nothing we've done, in any case.)
[HTC Aria Android Development] panda703:
its been 20 minutes lol... so do I just plug in the phone and run the exe? at this point it still gives me the "pushing recovery" screen
[HTC Aria Android Development] rpearl:
What OS? Have you followed all the directions?
[HTC Aria Android Development] fluffyarmada:
I quit the application... let me see what happens if it's just a wall-charger.

[30 seconds later]

Yeah, clockwork mod comes up from the wallcharger too. So it looks like it's nothing my computer is doing...

I guess the code that's supposed to start the picture of a battery is either pointing to or has been replaced by clockwork.

Hey, function over form. I'll survive. :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Just checked - I can confirm I have the same feature. It's fine with me. To me, clockwork recovery is prettier than the battery picture anyday.

then

cd - to the direcory the flash util is in.

Then

I mean, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if it didn't do that... but I'm far more interesting in understanding why it's doing that than I am in making it stop. Hehe... it's an odd thing to have happen.

Even though I've always had an iPhone or some other sort of phone not worked on by the guys at XDA, I've always loved this site and seeing what people have done with Windows Mobile and Android.

As someone who purchased an Aria on day 1 and has been coming to the Aria section since the day it was created, I am so incredibly impressed with the progress that's been made to a phone that has had to fight the Nexus One, Evo and Incredible for attention.

Thanks to Attn1, the Unrevoked team and everyone else who has made owning this phone more fun than any phone I've owned before. I can't wait to see what happens in the next week and month... please let me know who to donate to to help! :)
