Linux is the way....

Just a quick shout out for running Unrevoked under Linux. I was STRUGGLING with the original loop method under Windows initially and then thanks to attn1's suggestion switched to the unrevoked method and just ran it under an Ubuntu Live CD...

Could NOT be easier. Once I had Linux booted Unrevoked had Clockwork installed and I had done my backup and had the liberated ROM installed literally a couple of minutes later - it is very quick.

My personal opinion - if you are strugging with ANY kind of USB related issues under Windows just boot a live Linux distro of some variant and run it there. It will be done and you can get on to the real reason you wanted to root the phone in the first place.

Thanks again.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
I am running Vista 64bit ultimate.

I will probably try a Ubuntu Live CD and go that route. This crap with windows is getting annoying.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Dude Im running the same thing..sorry youre having such trouble..
[HTC Aria Android Development] Okstatefan:
I had trouble.....

Uninstalled sync, installed usb driver, and just couldn't find device.

Re-installed sync, ran update and clockwork was good!
[HTC Aria Android Development] matt_b:
This thread should be stickied seeing as its the best way to root the aria.

I imagine stickying it would eliminate a lot of excess threads.

Hi all , I need some help please

When unrevoked is @ this point > flashing recovery image . Do not touch your phone ..

Wich is the right phone mode ?

1. Still at bootloader (flashing ?? )

2. Normal , ON , with all OS running

My phone does "almost" all the unrevoked procedure , I mean it boots , waits for reboot , but I can't complete all of it ! :confused:

Have done all , step by step ... with 3 laptops without success :(
[HTC Aria Android Development] carlos3k:
linux worked

I booted off the free ubuntu linux disc and had issues with the unrevoked tool finding my device.

I figured out I just needed to run "sudo" and launch the reflash from Terminal.

in my case the path was like:

/home/unbuntu/Documents/reflash

so the command was:

sudo /home/unbuntu/Documents/reflash

simple as that. 40 seconds later or so I was flashed and clockwork was installed.

Minutes later I had the b005 rom loaded. My nandroid backup failed for some reason. Not a big deal as literally everything remained intact from setting to programs etc - I just now have root. I quickly ran the settings.db bat file to enable 3rd party apps and anxiously await froyo.

sending EFF some clams next payday. Thanks all!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
JUST a quick question, this says that the USB drivers are different than the SDK ones. Where are these files? I see the wiki thing that shows how to update the drivers, but there are no new drivers anywhere to be found. What am I missing?

I found what I was missing. LMAO, how did I miss that zip file link on the top of that wiki page?!?!! I am as blind as a bat!
[HTC Aria Android Development] Frrrrrrunkis:
Well, I think I got it, so how do I tell if its the Clockwork Recovery and not the stock hboot screen? Also, now do I go into the whole put the zip file of the Liberated rom on the SD card and flash?

Got it!! Thank you Unrevoked team!!!

Now to start learning how to develope apps for this lovely little beast

Quick question regarding superuser privelages and busybox

I've rooted and installed the rom succesfully and it works great. But when I try to run apps that require root the screen for superuser permission always pops up saying that the app has been granted superuser permission, even if it had been granted before. In the case of titanium backup, it has root permission/access but it always gives an error of somethinb being wrong with root/busybox. After i hit Problems, it works but the next time i reboot it won't work anymore.

Any suggestions? Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] mkoby:
Looking through the thread, I don't see an answer to this question. I'm possibly going to return the phone and exchange it for a Captivate this weekend and want to know how to get the stock recovery back on the phone so I can return the phone in a "default" state.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all, long time reader - first time caller :)

Pardon the redundancy. I have not been able to get a successful root. I have tried the windows drivers spanning 3 PC's (XPpro32 / VistaUlt64 / W7Ult32), and tried Ubuntu 10.04 (32bit). I get the same result from "unrevoked^3" on all four systems:

Device "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -" is not supported at this time.

I have a clean format (fat32) on the 2GB sd_card, with only a couple of roms in the root directory. Am I missing some app or file that needs to be on the sd_card? When in my terminal app, I am denied 'sudu sh' or any root access for that matter.

As far as I gather I enter htboot, then link USB to PC, then select "recovery", press power button, and it should just do it's thing. Problem is I get HTC white screen for 3 seconds, then phone icon with red-triangle, and the "device not supported" message from unrevoked^3.

Forgive me if there is a 'slap-the-forehead' oversight. I have follwed the instructions given many times just in case I was missing a step.

I have read through these "root" threads + comments and really am not finding the answer. Any help would be appreciated.

In case it helps, here is the device info from the top of the htboot screen:

LIBERTY PVT SHIP S-ON

HTBOOT-0.57.0000

MICROP-031b

TOUCH PANEL-STN21_03

RADIO-7.08.35.06

May 8 2010,03:56:58

**Update, I have reloaded OEM unrooted-ROM and default settings (other than usb-charge-only and debugging=on) and tried to unlock the root again, I have the same outcome as before "Device not supported". **

OK I found it by accident.

With Ubuntu :

-execute ./unrEVOked

-with phone OFF, plug in USB to PC

-less than 60 seconds and done! I'm rooted!!

Unrevoked 3 Isn't as Simple as it Claims

I've been following the "guide" to use Unrevoked 3.1 to root my Aria, but can't seem to get Unrevoked to realize my phone is plugged in. I installed the HBOOT drivers, but the actual Unrevoked executable never gets past the "Waiting for device. Plug in and enable USB debugging" step. USB debugging is enabled, and I even tried running as an administrator, but it made no difference. I don't know what else I could do. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Aria Android Development] robonoob:
Make sure you do everything the guide tells you, delete HTC sync, install drivers, and definitely reboot your pc/mac/whatever. the reboot of my pc did it for me. set the phone to charge only, blah blah blah it will work, its just finicky.
[HTC Aria Android Development] gdeadfan:
My best advice is to do it on a Mac if you can. You don't have do mess with any drivers at all, which makes it easy as pie.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WTFsandwich:
I did follow everything, down to the letter. I've done it about ten times now, and I still got nothing.

And I don't own or have access to a Mac, nor do I have Linux installed or have access to that either.
[HTC Aria Android Development] NotATreoFan:
Merged with the Unrevoked thread. Please check the announcement at the top of the forum, specifically the part about posting in already existing threads.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WTFsandwich:
Missed that announcement before, I apologize.

I have some questions about getting this going that I feel may have something to do with it after poking around a bit.

Do I need to have the Android SDK with any specific packages downloaded?

Also, when installing the HBOOT drivers, what do I do with my phone after a successful driver installation? Should I just leave it on the HBOOT screen, reboot it, boot the bootloader...?

I guess what I could use is a concise step by step guide to preparing Unrevoked, since the one in the thread is worded strangely to me. It seems a bit vague.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ocswing:
I don't believe you need the Android SDK for Unrevoked to work. Doesn't hurt to have for messing around with your phone in the future though.

After you've upgraded your HBOOT drivers go ahead and reboot your phone. While it's rebooting you can disconnect it. Then run Unrevoked (make sure you have the latest version.) After it's opened it'll say "Waiting for Device..." Plug your phone it at this point and have it set to Charge Only, and make sure USB Debugging is enabled. The Unrevoked tool should do the rest of the work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WTFsandwich:
After upgrading the HBOOT drivers, whenever I connect my device while booted normally, WinXP gives me a "Found New Hardware" message, followed shortly by a "Failed to Install New Hardware" message. Is this normal?

EDIT: No longer giving "Failed to kill ABD" message, back to waiting for the device after it's plugged in.

Also, when robonoob stated that the software was finicky, was he suggesting keep plugging the phone in until it works, restarting the program over and over, or am I missing something?

Has anyone gotten this app to work on their X10?? I have searched and searched and can't find any info on compatibility as far as OS 1.6 is concerned. I just can't seem to get it to work. Reviews on it are all pretty good so id like to make it happen. Im using Helix Launcher as well if it matters.

Ive also just tried to use it with ADW Launcher that is listed in this forum. I cannot get this thing to work :confused:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
The app runs fine on my X10... which is to say once I went through the first configuration I could launch the app manually by selecting it in the app drawer.

However , I can't get it to launch off any of the hardware keys using press, double-press, nor press-hold. I'm using ADW.Launcher, so that may have to do with it.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Christrumentalist:
ive been having the same problem. will post if i can figure out how to get it working.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I got it working eventually (not sure what I did differently from before). You have to clear your launcher default, then select QuickDesk as your default launcher, and within it's settings specify the actual launcher you want to use.

I ended up uninstalling it though. Between using Quick Settings for managing all my toggles, and the black screen delay between pressing the home button and actually having the home screen display under QuickDesk, I wasn't all that impressed.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ChEnG Fu:
If you are facing difficulties setting up QuickDesk on your phone, here a guide for you, http://droidbar.net/2010/09/quickdesk-setup-guide/

QuickDesk works fine with both LauncherPro and ADW.Launcher.

I wanna dump it out before root, because it is a Hong Kong ROM and haven't any link to down again from htc.

Thank you.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
hey i want to flash stock 2.1 on my htc desire because i am on orange and they dont get updates quick. if i do this will this wipe memory ? tbh am not bothered
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
you need to root your desire to debrand.

What do you mean wipe the memory, which memory do you mean?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
if i root and get the stock rom can i still get htc updates ?

wipe the internal memory
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A|ex:
If you wipe the internal memory you wipe it, so unless you have done a backup you will not be able to get it back. I would assume the Branded rom still has the auto backup to sd which you could enable. This will backup some settings but your apps etc will be lost.

If you flash with stock rom yes you can get updates (if there are any) but even if you cant someone on xda will release the updates, if you use the stock rom your phone is the same as stock except for cosmetic differences
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
Okay thanks for your help I am usin the auto backup but what will that backup? And can you direct me on how to root on Orange and how to install the stock Rom ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You do not need to root to debrand - you just need a goldcard to bypass CID checking so you can install a generic RUU.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
thanks dave can you show me were i can do all them things please :) and also why do i need a gold card ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
You need a goldcard to force your Orange branded phone to accept a non-Orange ROM. Instructions on how to create one are given here.

Other than that, you need to download an HTC RUU file (from here, the second WWE RUU is the one you want) and follow the instructions - it is a Windows executable.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
thanks for this now which one do i downlod fromm these ?

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.15.405.4_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4. 05.00.11_release_122704.exe

RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.

06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed.exe
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The second one is the later one.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
Thanks dave :) after i make the gold card i put in to the phone right?

then if i want to debrand the the phone shud i opend the RUU file that i downloaded and follow instructions on there or shud i flash it on the phone?

am sorry am new to all of this
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Correct on both accounts. However, if you have problems with the RUU process, you should be able to extract the rom.zip from it and flash it manually if needs be.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
okay if i do it on the computer and follow instruction do i need the phone in reovery or not ? If i do debrand will this errase all my apps and also contacts,sms etc..

if it does i have the auto backup what will that backup ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnlgee:
Don't use the 2nd one unless you have bought an unlock code or have a generic desire that's not branded. Orange lock certain radios.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faddys123:
thanks i havent got a spare sd card but if i copy the 4gb card on the computer then format it on the phone and make it into a goldcard then if i foramt the gold card after i have flashed the rom can i copy back everything back to the sd card ?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigmack:
First off let me tell everyone how great this forum/community is.

I have root and hav installed unrevoked2. I hav also ran nandroid backup. My question is now what can I do? Can I load ROMs, is there any HowTos Im missing?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Download one of the roms from here. http://inc.sodpit.com/. They are mostly stable might get a few random reboots.

Steps:

1. Download Rom of your choice, unrevolved and JagerRomSense are the 2 newest right now.

2. Copy and Paste onto sdcard. Make sure it is not in any directory's of SD card, just on the sdcard.

3. Verify it's there using Astro or some other File Manager.

4. Run Titanium Backup if you haven't already. (If you don't have it, get it, it's must have for root users.

a. Select Menu, Batch, Backup user apps.

b. let it run, this will take some time.

5. When that's done use Rom Manager to reboot into recovery.

6. Do "Wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"

7. Select install zip from sdcard, choose zip from sdcard, then select whatever rom you downloaded.

8. When that's done reboot your phone, once your done setting up, download titanium backup, set that up.

9. Select Menu, Batch, Restore User apps.

After that's done you'll have all your apps that you had before, data included, with a fresh new rom to try out. Hope this helps!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigmack:
Tcberg thanks for your help. Quick question what are the kernels for? What's the difference between a kernel and a rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyinitalian:
I am no expert, but a kernel is what links the software to the hardware. Using different kernels gives you the options to overclock or underclock the cpu, extend battery life, just to name a few. To my understanding the rom is the operating system for the phone. It is read only until the phone is rooted. I am pretty sure that every rom needs a kernel to operate. Hope this helps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rynosaur:
Correct, AFAIK. All kernels need a "ROM" which basically means "OS" for our purposes, while not all ROMs have kernels in them. Some devs prefer an update-style ROMs, which you flash over a preexisting kernel. A "complete wipe" ROM is generally a 1-for-1 replacement of all necessary kernel files, drivers, modules, scripts, apks, framework, sounds etc etc etc. Confusingly, some have started to post ROMs that do not contain kernels but require complete wipes. For our purposes, "complete wipe" is a factory wipe which format /user, /data, and /cache -- including dalvik-cache -- and something accomplishable in Bootloader, Recovery, or even the ~/Security menu in Sense Android.

Hope that helps. Remember, wikipedia is your friend :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcberg2010:
Agree with him, i'm no expert either. But i think what we do when we flash a oc/uv kernel is just swap out certain files that apply to the processor clock. I could be wrong though.

I was able to use ur themes for my Topaz (all the older ones)

But not able to use ur Windows 7 one as once i install the cab it kind of destroys my manila..

It does not come back even if I remove the cab and do a soft reset.

Have to do a hard reset....

hope you can help us in this..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bignadad:
Must be a conflict with MaxSense Versions... Does your ROM include the Latest 1.03 version of MaxSense?

Use the cab without default layout..... that is probably whats causing the problem.. the cab with default layout contains reg entries, without only contains images
