I got the same error messages in the terminal window when I used this root method but otherwise everything worked and I seem to now have root. I’m not sure but this may be normal. The error message may be a result of the application on the computer periodically attempting to connect/communicate with the phone while it is rebooting.
[HTC Aria General] captaincrunch:
I had to manually mount the /system/ and /data/ partitions via clockwork for adb to work with the Aria I rooted, otherwise everything worked brilliantly. Cheers!

"Once it boots from the cd it will show a small picture of a keyboard and a person, do not press anything here and it will come to a window that will allow you to select your language.

Select your language and click "Try Ubuntu 10.04 LTS". This will boot up to a standard Ubuntu livecd desktop."

I am running Windows XPSP3. I burned the boot image to a CD-ROM. Using the CD, The computer boots up to the pinkish colored screen with the image of the keyboard and then the screen goes black, and then my monitor displays "No Video Signal".

I next tried to boot my laptop, also running XP-SP3 with the CD. Here, it prompts me to choose the language, and then there is a screen with an icon on it and 5 dots that just keeps animating from dot to dot to dot to dot, which has lasted for about 15 minutes. I can't seem to get to the desktop you refer to. I next downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 directly from their website, and got the exact same results on each of the computers. Should I be using an older image to work with XP? I checked the image in XP to verify that the CD burned correctly, and it did. I get an option to run it as a shell within Windows. Is this a viable option? Will I be able to "see" the ext2 drive on the phone's SD card this way?

Please moderators, I KNOW that this is not an Ubuntu forum, so shut up already before you even start! The post is here, I am trying to utilize the technique described, and I am having trouble with it! The guy seems to know his stuff, so let him help me for crying out loud!

Been browsing for awhile but never posted. But, I'm having the exact same problems as you. Since nobody ever responded to you I thought I'd bump this by bringing it up again.
[HTC Aria General] shad0wf0x:
Sorry guys, I can't help with problems with booting ubuntu, you can try hitting a key at that first screen on bootup, select the language there and hit f6 "other options" and check "acpi=off". Then press escape and select "Try Ubuntu without installing".

This error looks like usb is not working with the ubuntu live cd, unfortunately there isn't anything I can do about this, the ubuntu disk supports most hardware but not all.

Allowing Non-Market Apps using this cd on the stock ARIA rom

I successfully rooted my stock Aria using the Linux CD. I then installed Titanium backup which reports "your system settings will prevent you from restoring applications. to correct this go to your phone's settings, then in "applications" and tick the "unknown sources" check box."

The unknown sources check box is of course not there because I have not yet run the code for allowing NON-Market apps using the following supplied code:

sudo su

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

adb reboot

Booting from the linux cd, connecting my phone via usb, launching terminal and entering the code 1 line at a time or all at once is not working. When I do so the adb remount command fails with "operation not permitted". I am obviously doing something wrong. I would really appreciate the correct steps to enable non-market apps using the supplied code. Thank you in advance.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I got my replacement from AT&T a few days ago and I am eager to root the new one. I used this liveCD method on my old phone and had no issues. When I tried it this time, my pc locked up on the step where I selected "Run in Terminal" (for the reflash.sh file). I didn't have time to restart it then, so I tried on my (wireless) laptop about an hour later. When I got to this same step on the laptop, I got this popup window. Could be because I was on a wireless laptop that I couldn't confirm was internet connected.

Can anyone confirm that this step is working lately?

I have the same errors on the Dell Dd600 I am using. But clockwork seems to have been installed but maybe not the root changes.

Is hboot and clockwork being flashedand running proof of root? ( I am holding down volume key when turning phone on and then selecting "Recovery" with the volume keys and power button)

Can I just run the update.zip from clockwork and I'll be rooted?

Thanks
[HTC Aria General] WoozyMusic:
I got a big big problem guys!

Hope you can help me..

Before i tryed with ubuntu Unrevoked dosnt worked.. It only told me that it was rooting and that I could restart safely.. This happends all the time, and sometimes it didnt even find my phone..

Now i burned the ubuntu on an CD, it works and everything, but I still got the same problem... It seems to freeze at the point where it shall root..

Can someone please help me? Im stuck and I dont know what to do...

I have an Wildfire with 2.2.1 Do you need more info, just write and I will give you!

I really hope someone can help me! I want to clock my phone so it can handle more demanding apps..

Best regards

[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
This process was developed for the Aria, not the Wildfire, so it may not be downloading the correct version of Unrevoked. Second of all, if you already have Froyo 2.2.1 on your Wildfire, Unrevoked probably doesn't support rooting of this version yet. I know that is true about other HTC devices that have OTA upgraded to Froyo 2.2.1.
[HTC Aria General] WoozyMusic:
Oh, thats suck..

So, I cant overclock my phone? Or can I do it with another program or something? I just want to clock it to 710 Mhz.. :(

Best regards

WoozyMusic
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
First you need a kernel that supports over-clocking and then you can use a program called SetCpu to set the clock rate. In either case you will need to have your phone rooted.

Have you looked at the Wildfire forum for any solutions?

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=678
[HTC Aria General] WoozyMusic:
Yes, and I have downloaded Wildpuzzle, as I seem to know that support overclocking?

Yes, but everytime I try to root the freakin' phone it just freeze.. I have tryed almost everything, googled like an arse, searc in different forums, almost everybody reference to unrevoked, that dosn't work for me...

I'm about to snap.. I dunno how I will get over the freakin' freeze thing...

What the fudge will I do? :/ I will search some more, both her in xda and even thru google.. Wish me good luck..

[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
OK, I visited the Wildfire forum and there are several posts about trying to root a Wildfire with Froyo 2.2 on it. As with the Aria/Gratia that have Froyo 2.2 on it, there is currently no method using Unrevoked to root these phones. You will have to wait for a rooting method to be developed and documented.
[HTC Aria General] WoozyMusic:
Oh snap.. what the fudge, i hate to wait...

I'm on an IRC-channel right now and they told me to downgrade, and then root the phone, but I cant even make the downgrade right..

I'ma throw this freakin' phone in to the wall and complain to my boss so I can get an raise and buy me a beautiful phone, like Desire HD or LG optimus x2.. or something else...

Like i said, hate to wait..

How long do you think it will take until a new version is out so i can root the freakin' phone?

Best regards

WoozyMusic
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Well since Froyo 2.2 just came out for the Wildfire recently and the Gratia/Aria a couple of weeks before that and there still isn't an way to root with the latest HTC HBoot versions on these phones I don't know what to tell you. With the original versions of the Aria and Wildfire, the ROMs were rooted within days of being released, but this new Froyo 2.2 update is apparently a lot tougher to find a root exploit.
[HTC Aria General] WoozyMusic:
That sucks...

Well, all I can do is wait.. wait.. and wait.. Do you know if I can sign me up for a newsletter so I get information about the update as soon as it comes out? :)

[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
At the HTC website you can register your Wildfire and subscribe to the HTC Newsletter.

rooting errors

Tried this method on my stock Aria running firmware 2.1-update1 and kernel 2.6.29 and it is not working. I'm linux aware, so getting the (thank you!) iso running is no sweat. The trouble seems to start in Unrevoked, the console is showing git version:f959b00, then it runs some stuff, then it shows "ERROR: n=-1, ernno=19 (no such device)" while at the same time, on the Aria in the white droid screen a bunch of "no image" errors flash by and then it reboots, but is seemingly not rooted. I've gone over the instructions 3 times and its always the same result.

What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
This process is downloading the most recent version of Unrevoked 3.3, which has an issue when running on the Aria. You need to use Unrevoked 3.2.1 to root your Aria.

BREAKING NEWS: I just noticed that Unrevoked has release 3.3.1 available which is suppose to address the issues with 3.3 that was discovered this weekend. You may want to give this another try.
[HTC Aria General] ss6703:
Having the same issue as above. I foloow the the instructions for rooting via unrevoked and followed them to the letter. Running unrevoked goes perfectly until the end, however, where I get this error:

Internal error: am reported error starting service

Wondering if anyone else had this issue? I used the latest Unrevoked version.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
So you used Unrevoked 3.3.1 that was posted today (this afternoon) and you are still getting that error? If so, you need to try using Unrevoked 3.2.1 or you can let the guys at Unrevoked know that there is still an issue.
[HTC Aria General] ss6703:
Yes. I used Unrevoked 3.3.1 that was posted today. Still getting the error. I will see if I can find a link for the linux version of Unreovked 3.2.1. Thanks for the help.
[HTC Aria General] shad0wf0x:
http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.21/reflash.tar.gz

You can download 3.21 from the link above, download to the Downloads folder and run the script in the home folder and it should work until they resolve the problems with the aria.
[HTC Aria General] ss6703:
Thanks. It worked :D
[HTC Aria General] ShinerDraft:
ok, worked for me too.

just an FYI.. the script will still connect and download the newest version of unrevoked (3.32 today).

if you download the older version and have it in your downloads folder, the script will still unzip it and use it. the newer one that's downloaded has a '1' appended on the filename, so the script ignores it..

if you've tried before, it might be a good idea to delete all of the "reflash.tar.gz" files just so you start with a clean slate.

so to summarize:

1. in ubunto, go to home, then downloads and delete any files named "reflash.tar.gz"

2. click the firefox icon and download the 3.21 version at the link above. (make sure it goes to your downloads folder)

3. run the script as in the instructions. it will still download the newest version of unrevoked, but it will ignore it later

4. root away, friends. root away..
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Just an FYI. The current version of unrevoked 3.32 is now fixed and will root the Aria, so there is no need to download 3.21 using these instructions.
[HTC Aria General] jay_ntwr:
I rooted using this last night. Thanks for all the work guys, worked perfectly.

One thing that I did notice that confused me as a noob is that nothing spectacular happens after you "root". The phone looks just the same, works just the same, doesn't grant you three wishes or turn into an airplane and fly you to an island... It just lets other programs work and lets you monkey with the phone in ways you weren't allowed to before.

I tried installing the WiFi app and it didn't install, still had to side load and but the rooting is what allows it to work. So once you have it installed, it works. That's what rooting does. Remember, I'm a noob, so I know it does other stuff that I don't know about yet but that's the gist of it.

This LiveCD has to be the most failsafe way for noobs ... It Rocks! :cool:
[HTC Aria General] mellowdude88:
Hello there,

I know this is a noob question, but I hope someone can help me.

I run Ubuntu as my standard operating system, but I am not familiar with adb.

My Aria is rooted and I am trying to flash to the latest version of liberty. In the past I have used my wife's windows box to get the updates on the internal sd. The freakin windows box is fighting me hard, I spent two hours today trying to get it to see the phone's root directory with no success (I hate windows).

I can boot to the live CD no problem and adb seems to be working just fine. I can get the update I want to the home directory and I know I should be able to use 'adb push' to get it into the Aria.

Problem is, I just don't know the proper syntax.

Can someone please help me out here?

BTW, thanks so much for the live CD image. Your work here is just awesome!
[HTC Aria General] camillemarie:
This was very helpful, thank you. Very well written and easy to follow. It didn't actually work because I had android 2.2.2 installed, so I used zedbra's (GUIDE) How To S-Off and ROOT Aria 2.2.2. Then I used sdk tools to get rid of the AT&T bloatware, and ckuke4's instructions to edit the settings database to install 3rd party apps. Then I checked if my phone had the htc loggers file, which it did not. So I'm golden! This was a fun intro to android coding and I haven't looked at linux in a while. Thanks again!

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 PM ----------

I found these to be helpful as far as syntax. I've just used windows for this, but I noticed that the linux syntax is slightly different:

[HTC Aria General] i9602097:
I can't download ISO. Please update the file.
[HTC Aria General] dansou901:
As the new Ubuntu LTS is released now, could it be possible to update the live CD? Or could someone direct me to create a new live CD? It would also be great to add the revolutionary method for rooting the phone. Maybe I could help with this because I already have some experience using Linux.

EDIT: And please update the links so I can take a look on your live CD. Maybe it is already all I need to create a new one.

EDIT 2: I see now that Unrevoked 3.32 fixed rooting the Aria, but it doesn't give you S-Off; therefore you have to use revolutionary.
[HTC Aria General] dansou901:
For revolutionary, you will still have to generate a beta key on the revolutionary site, so the script in the live cd should redirect you there when trying to S-Off. Just as an idea.
[HTC Aria General] dansou901:
Bump. Nobody here anymore?
[HTC Aria General] mmas60:
LiveCD has to be the most failsafe
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
The main reason this LiveCD was used was because Unrevoked required certain custom drivers to be installed (when using Windows) that some people had trouble with.

However, when it comes to AlphaRevX/Revolutionary, it ONLY requires that you have the standard HTC drivers installed. Very few people have complained about not being able to get the program to work due to driver issues, so there's really no reason to complicate the process by using a LiveCD, IMO.

If you really want to go that route, you basically should be able to do it manually:

1) Download latest Ubuntu LiveCD and boot it.

2) Download Revolutionary from http:/revolutionary.io/ and generate your beta key

3) Run it
[HTC Aria General] dansou901:
Ah, so it isn't necessary anymore. I thought it would still be used by some people, but as I see it isn't.

I personally use Linux for rooting too, but I use my self compiled Gentoo.
[HTC Aria General] das280zx:
I've rooted several htc devices with revolutionary and unrevoked on Ubuntu. It works great! No drivers to install on any of that bs. If you are in to messing around with your phone, you should probably want to mess around with Linux too. Ubuntu is really easy to install. ADB works great on it also. Heimdall also works well in Linux. No need for windows imo.

Hey,

I have a HTC Desire that i brought from Orange recently, however i have since then rooted, flashed custom roms and also paid for the phone to be unlocked.

So how would i go about unrooting the phone in order to allow it too accept the official OTA update rather than using any of the current custom FroYo roms?

Am i able to unroot to a generic rom?
[Desire General] cgrec92:
you might want to change the name of the thread as it'll make people think you have the official froyo release from orange.
[Desire General] laav:
Guys,

Today very excited about the new 2.2 update and downloaded and installed it directly without thinking on the root possibilities.

Now i have an desire with the 2.2 android rom from HTC and no root, is there any possibility to get back on the 2.1 android rom from HTC and so get root?

Thanks,

Laav

No.

Not yet anyway.

Hi,

I have major problems now with 2.2 after update. It was said to be quicker, much quicker.

In fact - my Desire is now slower as HTC Sense is reloading almost every time I come back from Gmail, Camera or other applications. This is so awful! Do you have same issues?

Also - I found that I cannot move all of my apps to SD card. Why? Can I force it?

So far was able to move to SD only 4 or 5 apps...
[Desire General] DaaT:
As for the slowness, sorry but I can't help, here it's the opposite.

About the apps move to SD, the coder has to update the app to be compatible with Froyo and the move to the SD card. Not all have been so far.
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
Maybe there were a few issues that HTC overlooked and if so, then they will probably bring out a fix for it.
[Desire General] bh4714:

Android 2.2 Update: Major & Minor problems

Hi.

I'm in the UK and I got the OTA update this afternoon.

The update was over and done in less than 15 minutes.

Since then I had to uninstall & reinstall one app to make it work (WallSwitch) - the minor issue:rolleyes:, and my Desire won'tconnect to my home wifi (MAJOR ISSUE!):mad::confused:

Can't talk about the quality of the update yet I've spent all my time trying to get my wifi to connect.:(

oh almost forgot...it looks as if the previous separate Voice Search is now fully integrated but it leaves the previously distinct Voice Search app installed. I haven't worked out if I can remove it yet.

Update 3rd August: Finally found a workaround for my wifi connection problem: Switched to a using a static ip address. Not ideal but good enough. btw I'm using a Belkin N1 Router with the latest firmware (Belkin haven't updated that in over 7 years and I doubt they ever will!!)

Found several folks with similar wifi connection issues.

Having fixed the wifi issue, I have noticed that my phone seems quicker and more responsive could be the "Update Placebo" effect but I hope not ;)

Update: 30th August: since the Froyo update I'm also having problems connecting to GPS and 3G. I guess I'll have to wait for another minor update.
[Desire General] Tomaco:
I dont have same issues as you, but my homescreen is sometimes reseting on its own.. it happens rarly but still, i want a perfect system... :(

[Desire General] Nightstalker79:
I just wrote an SMS and froyo didn't recognise the standard dutch library which it came with, I find this quite annoying.

The update seems rushed (BIG SIGH HERE). Too many minor issues, but they keep on piling up. HTC's Éclair was near-perfect.
