I just tried this and can't seem to get it to work. :( Can anybody help me out? I'm sure that I've done something wrong. I finally got unrEVOked to recognize my Aria, however when I clicked "Ok" (to root it when the message popped up) it said "Failed to push recovery. Terminating." What did I forget to do?? :confused:
[HTC Aria Android Development] mrmacintosh100:
Nevermind... I got it to work finally.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Freak:
Still shows S-ON
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Unrevoked 3.21 does not turn S-OFF on the Aria; that is only for a few CDMA phones like the EVO, Incredible, Hero and CDMA Desire.

Regards,

Tom
[HTC Aria Android Development] djR3Z:
Yeah don't worry about not having S-OFF, its not something necessary for a rooted phone. As long as you've got Superuser, you're set and rooted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Plasmamuffins:
Sorry for my noobiness on the Aria, but what does using unrevoked to root it do for the Aria?
[HTC Aria Android Development] 0ptimus82:
Still unable to install applications with the phone rooted

Hi, I followed the instructions, after I got the "done" message, i went to nandroid option made a backup, when it was finished i restarted the phone.

I´m trying to use Astro to install Sygic on the phone but I always get the same message.... you phone is blocked.

I see the little ninja in apps... what else is missing? what is wrong?

Thanks for your help...

I´m about to give up and sell this phone :confused:

The day i got the phone I upgraded it to the latest firmware available in HTC web page, is that the ugly part of the story?

-------------------------------------------------------

I solved this issue by istalling a custom image.

Last night I istalled the liberated_aria_ddx_R012_signed, I have to say that everythign is going perfect, no problems so far.

But everytime I plug the cable and the phone is off, it starts in recovery mode, so i have to select reboot.

Before flashing the image, I formated the SD card, wiped data, cache and dalvik cache.

If I turn on the phone it starts normally, It´s just happening when I plug the usb cable or the charger.

I also made other test, I plugged the phone when it was on, then I turned it off (with the cable plugged), when it finished the turning off process it automatically started again in the clockwork recovery mode.

Could you please tell me how to solve this?... this is my first Android phone, I donñt want it to start in recovery mode when I just want to charge it.

Thanks in advance
[HTC Aria Android Development] echodun:
Phone needs to be on while charging. You no longer have to turn equipment off to get a full charge. If you charge while it's off it will go into recovery mode.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 0ptimus82:
Thanks for your prompt answer.

Is there any way to change it?, i´d like it to work as usual, you plug it you get the green battery charging... that way it is impossible to make misstakes, for the next time i need to get in to recovery mode i would push pwer + volume-.

maybe by applying a mod.zip using clockwork?
[HTC Aria Android Development] echodun:
No way that I know of. It's on my Cyangenmod ROM too. Maybe a product of using the Unrevoked method of rooting. When I plug mine in to the computer charging cable I get a red light for charging and then screen goes off in about 10 secs. Not a big deal to me although it through me for a loop at first too.
[HTC Aria Android Development] 0ptimus82:
I know... it´s not a problem, it´s just that it´s not the way it happened for some years ago since i´ve had a cell phone :p.

So, the only way to avoid it is to uninstall clockwork recovery?
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
Cracked my screen on my rooted aria after my camera stopped working and I had filed for a warranty replacement. Was so happy with the original phone that I took the $300 hit they would apply if I sent the bad phone back with physical damage...I decided to keep the new phone and ATT will allow me to pay them in several installments with my monthly bill.. :)

I promptly used your instructions to root this new phone. Took me all of 5 minutes.

Great job.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tacitapproval:
You can replace the glass on an Aria for a lot less than $300.
[HTC Aria Android Development] OJsakila:
I could have sworn that I mentioned that there was a camera defect...thereby validating a warranty return (aka a different phone). ;)
[HTC Aria Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
im trying to root my friends aria which has hboot 0.57.0000 and theres no option to "you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power" .

is there a work around like using fastboot?

EDIT: nvm it didnt matter everything went smoothly anyway
[HTC Aria Android Development] wahida76:
Aria

went through booting and stuck on running root any ideas
[HTC Aria Android Development] dewy22:
This is so easy. Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] blindfusion:
Definitely easy to root. I was hesitant, but I went for it and it was relatively painless.
[HTC Aria Android Development] superman2112ms:
Is a custom recovery image the same as a back-up file? Which would mean when i performed this I already have a back-up to revert to. I have been reading as much as i can but I may have missed this info. However a Android NooB I am and did manage to accomplish this root task. Thanks to all for the work and info.
[HTC Aria Android Development] narkewoody:
Hi,

I was trying to following the instruction, but met problem in the step 3 of the "How to Install HBOOT Drivers (Windows Users ONLY)". There is no a "HBOOT USB" menu item on my HBOOT screen. What's wrong with it? (I cannot access the video tutorial "How to Install HBOOT Drivers" since from my location the youtube video is not reachable)

Below are my phone information:

[HTC Aria Android Development] tnjeffw:
Mine is the same as the above. What do ya do if you do not have that option to pick when you start up the phone?
[HTC Aria Android Development] dexmix:
Did they just pull the latest unrevoked?

edit: and its back
[HTC Aria Android Development] IsraelR:
If you notice, it says "On EVO 4G, you will have to select HBOOT USB..." We aren't doing this on an EVO, we're Aria owners, so skip this step and continue with the rest of the instruction.

Good luck!
[HTC Aria Android Development] ho.ra.to:
I cant run reflash_package. It says:"Could not read SFX configuration or configuration not found." what is the problme? Is it about my Windows? Can anyone help me please?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] ho.ra.to:
no problme, I download it again and it workes. thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] winsettr:
Awesome guide, easy to follow and worked flawlessly! Coming from a Blackberry, I had no idea what I was missing...
[HTC Aria Android Development] capsin6:
Thanks for the step-by-step guide. Rooted my Aria and now ready to update the rom to liberated_FR005.
[HTC Aria Android Development] G1-8701:
after holding down the volume button and power, i don't see hboot usb, did i do something wrong?

i downloaded everything it said to download
[HTC Aria Android Development] cougar4v:
HTC Aria ATT, "R" icon now showing after rom "update"

I followed the instructions here, and was able to successfully install clockwork and root the phone. I then installed liberated_aria_FR006_signed.zip. Everything seems to be working just fine. However, I see the "R" just above the bars when I never saw that before. I believe I have roaming turned off, yet that icon is still there. Any ideas/help? And that rom is awesome, no bloatware is very nice.

Many thanks to everyone's efforts to make this possible.
[HTC Aria Android Development] G1-8701:
ok so i finally got the driver installed, but now the problem is when i run unrEVOked i'm stuck at waiting for device, i got debugging checked, it's connected, and it's on charge only like the video said, what am i doing wrong....PLEASE HELP!!!!

Edit: ok i got to the waiting for root part, and restarted my phone twice and it still says waiting for root
[HTC Aria Android Development] G1-8701:
finally rooted!!!!!

quick question, if i rooted my phone on my laptop and my friend wants me to root his, do i have to go through all the steps all over again dealing with my driver, or can i just connect it and run unrEVOked?
[HTC Aria Android Development] brandor:
Thanks! Just used this thread to root a friends Aria.... everything went smoothly, so much easier than it was to root my EVO.... thanks a million!
[HTC Aria Android Development] djR3Z:
Just connect and go :)

Glad you got it done!
[HTC Aria Android Development] WakaFlocka55:
Ok, so I followed the steps. Everything went smoothly... I think? I hooked my aria up to my mac, opened up the Evo3 reflash and installed it (it went through a bunch of stuff on my phone's screen and ended up rebooting, but I never had to do anything). It says "Done" on the Evo3 reflash window on my computer now, so am I just retarded or is nothing different about my phone?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
This is an HTC Aria forum. Do you have an EVO or Aria, or did you select the wrong option from unrevoked?
[HTC Aria Android Development] ninestraycats:
Gene, the Reflash Mac OS X application has an icon that says EVO3 on it. The first thing it does is say "Found Aria," so I think it's no issue.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
OK, I didn't know that. I rooted my Aria before unrevoked had an option for it. It sounds like it probably worked. Look in you apps and see if you have the superuser app. I believe that is part of the process that unrevoked uses (I recall this from rooting my brother's Hero with unrevoked).
[HTC Aria Android Development] capsin6:
Only visible difference between the pre-root and post-root phones is the addition of "Superuser Permissions" application. If ypu have it, you are rooted.
[HTC Aria Android Development] WakaFlocka55:
Great, Superuser Permissions is indeed there. Thanks for the help/simple reply :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] nemogamo:
i had the same problem, how do you solved this ?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
Hold the VOLUME_DOWN button down then press the POWER button for about a second while still holding the VOLUME_DOWN button. Once the phone comes alive, release the VOLUME_DOWN button.
[HTC Aria Android Development] djR3Z:
Unplug USB and plug it back in. I believe it should automatically switch and display HBOOT USB.
[HTC Aria Android Development] nemogamo:
@all - finally got rooted, thx ya'all gays!
[HTC Aria Android Development] djR3Z:
Awesome man!
[HTC Aria Android Development] akaryrye:
successfully rooted

I am a complete android noob. It took me a little bit to figure out how to get the drivers worked out ... but i have successfully rooted the phone using this method, so thank you!

While I was successful, something strange happened with the drivers. The computer would see the phone as a different device when in HBOOT vs turned on. Once the drivers were installed in HBOOT, i turned on the phone and windows wanted to install new drivers again (wtf?). I then installed HTC sync, which allowed me to start the rooting process, but half-way through the rooting process, when it goes back to HBOOT, the computer failed to recognize the phone. I then had to reinstall the modified usb drivers (by unrevoked) for the process to complete.

I am still trying to figure out how to get the extra programs htc and att wont normally let me remove, but ill figure it out soon enough. The driver issue wasn't a huge deal, but it is an issue and i doubt i am the only one.
[HTC Aria Android Development] djR3Z:
I'm kind of confused on what issue its causing you. Can you explain exactly what problem you're still having?

And as for the system apps, the easiest way to remove them is with Titanium Backup in Chuck Norris mode.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Tonyshun87:
Follow the lead and unevoked says:backup cid is missing

I tried several times and the result is just the same,checked my phone,seems to be rooted,but no recovery then it means no flash other roms T T, need some help here
[HTC Aria Android Development] jbizz:
so i got a replacement aria, and when i try to root, it will never find the drivers... i installed HTC sync, but didnt run it... and the unrevoked update drivers file seems to not work either!

where am i going wrong? i didnt have any of these troubles last time i rooted! and im rather sad and about to pull my hair out using SENSE!!!

edit: since no one helped, here is what i did... plugged the phone in > reinstalled HTC sync, and received the error again > uninstalled HTC sync, connected phone > pc found all the drivers

Hello someone,

Please help me in rooting my mobile. I am using Windows XP
[HTC Aria Android Development] masterstream:
I've sucessfully rooted my Aria (I think) Phone shows super users permissions in the apps however when I try to install an app from SD card using app installer it says permissions denied. I also tried to install superuser from the market and it says unsucessful? Did it really root or not? What should I do?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Grmpf66:
Anyone had success with the european Aria called "Gratia" ? All the sites tell me its the same phone except the new android 2.2 on it so i gave it a try and unrevoked 3.22 (Changelog 3.2: "Added support for Froyo builds on all supported devices") keeps telling me that it didn't worked in the end. Unrevoked starts and thinks its a Aria and reboots into HBoot just fine, then another reboot and in the end it tells me to try again (which i did 3 times) because the phone isn't rootet.

Its me doing something wrong (installed the modded usb drivers before), or is it the phone because its the european version ? Infos from the phone:

Maybe someone can tell me wether rooting with this phone should work or not - and how to root it if unrevoked does not work.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
As far as I know, you are the first to try it. I think you may need to contact the unrevoked team to see if they will work with you on developing an update for your firmware if unrevoked does not work.

I would try shad0wf0x's liveCD spin before contacting them.

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
[HTC Aria Android Development] jznomoney:
I am with attn1, Windows has a hell of a time communicating with android devices in this fashion. Try the livecd method. If that doesn't work contact unrevoked. You can always chat with the aria team as well by joining the chat located here http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria. Also if you do get it to work and do a nandroid backup can you send attn1 or I the system.img and boot.img. We'd like to take a look at it as this will also help you in case you need or want to return to stock htc sense rom. The system.img and boot.img do not contain any personal information. Hope to hear from you soon.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vicmora5:
I don't see the Other devices in the Device Manager, but there is an Android Phone, what do I do. I previously rooted but had to go back to stock because the ROMS weren't working out. Now I just want to ROOT.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Since you previously rooted, you should have everything set up on the PC. Just try running Unrevoked again and follow the instructions.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vicmora5:
Oh alright thanks!

EDIT:

OK if the ninja icon with superuser permissions is on there then i successfully rooted?

Also what does that program do all it does for me is open up and its just a black screen :3
[HTC Aria Android Development] Reitrof:
Hi,

New to the Android phones. Trying to root my Aria and cannot see the menu option HBOOT USB. I seem to have only 4 options, not 5 like in the video.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
It sounds like you do not have the USB drivers loaded correctly. You need both the HTC USB drivers and the HBOOT drivers loaded. You get the HTC USB drivers loaded by installing HTC Sync software on the PC. Installing the HBOOT drivers is documented at the start of this thread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Reitrof:
Thank you for responding. I do have HTC Sync installed. Not sure what you mean by HBOOT? In the article, it does not mention getting those installed 1st for seeing HBOOT USB option on the Aria?

Sorry new to this so please excuse my ignorance.
[HTC Aria Android Development] vicmora5:
There is only those 4th options. He was doing the root on a evo. And it's different than the Aria. Just skip that and keep going.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Reitrof:
Ahh ok. Thank you.
[HTC Aria Android Development] FluffyRabbit:
Alright, so I have done everything that I possibly could. I tried re rooting my Aria via UnRevoked because I need to access nandroid backup and I can't do that without rerooting. Every possible way I try this, linux, linux64, windows xp, windows 7 64bit, It stops on the waiting for root safe to restart if fails part and my Aria locks up on the htc screen until I remove the battery. In the linux terminal it says 'ERROR: n = -1, errno = 19 (No such device)'

Any solutions to this?
[HTC Aria Android Development] rbrunson1989:
Missing HBoot USB

What am I missing. When I power on with the power button and vol down. My only options are FastBoot, Recovery, Clear Storage, Simlock. According to the instructions I should see HBoot USB
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
This was answered about 5 posts back. The video was shot on an EVO not an Aria. The HBOOT menu on the Aria only has 4 options.
[HTC Aria Android Development] abasak:
Rooting Questions

I followed the steps for rooting my Aria using Unrevoked 3.22. Things went smooth as per the instructions. I was able to install ROM Manager and also install ClockworkMod Recovery on my phone. I was also able to back my current ROM onto the sdcard. My computer is a FC12 Linux box with android sdk. I can see the phone when I do "adb devices" and the phone is in charge only mode. So things look fine so far.....but when I do a "adb shell" and then a su, I do not get a "#" and instead get the message "Permission denied".

So my 2 questions are

Was I successful in rooting my device?. If not, please give me some pointers what to do?

Also before I go ahead and install CM6.1, I am trying to allow non market apps on my stock Aria. So when I do "adb remount", I get the same "Permission denied" message.

Phone has stock software 1.25.502.12 with firmware 2.1-update1
[HTC Aria Android Development] Gene Poole:
You must have been successful or you couldn't have installed clockwork recovery, but it sounds like you still have the completely stock ROM. Rooting is a one-time process that uses some fault in the system to exploit a root shell. Once you have a root shell, you can do stuff like install recovery, but if you don't do anything else, you lose root once you close your root shell. The good news is that you did install clockwork recovery and this allows you to do all the stuff HTC and AT&T don't want you to do.
[HTC Aria Android Development] abasak:
Thanks Gene for the tips. So I have 2 cases to ponder about.

1. The rooting did not go well. What is a quick litmus test that I can do to proove this?.

2. Clockwork recovery is not installed properly. I have ClockworkMod Premium installed on the phone. I was wondering if step one is true then CW mod would not have installed properly and I should have got some message either during it's install or during the backups that I did later on. I did not get any messages and things went smoothly.

Another note is that the phone came with stock firmware 1.25.502.2 and I upgraded it to 1.25.502.12 from HTC before I started the root process. Is it possible that this new ROM is not supported by unrevoked for rooting?.
[HTC Aria Android Development] zedbra:
it seems to me that you have acieved root, simply power off the phone, hold Down volume key and press power. once the bootloader pops up wait for the quick diagnostic to run, then choose Recovery from the list. if it boots into ClockworkMod Recovery, youre good to flash a custom ROM.

if you need help doing this, there are plenty of guides to follow:)
[HTC Aria Android Development] abasak:
Finally I took the leap. Installed CM6.1 and am a happy camper !!.

Thanks to all them who made this possible.

unrevoked on HTC Gratia

I bought HTC Gratia (europe) and unrevoked can not unlock the phone. The program starts up and begins the process of unlocking. After restarting I get a message "waiting for root" and that's it. Re trying to run the phone do not give anything. For each attempt the process ends with this message. Has anyone encountered this problem?

My software is Android 2.2 kernel: 2.6.32.21 Software: 2.35.405.2
[HTC Aria Android Development] B Yo:
Hello,

I am trying to root a stock Aria. I successfully rooted another phone and it took all of about 5 minutes to do. I am now on day 3 of trying to get unrevoked to work.

I have followed the instructions for rooting the Aria using Unrevoked 3.22 on Windows 7, Vista, and XP without success.

Unrevoked either Fails, gets stuck on "Pushing Recovery", or gets stuck at "Waiting" for root.

It seems others are having issues with this technique as of late, and any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers!

HTC Gratia Android 2.2

It seems that the unrevoked not work when the phone is running Android 2.2.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Blam23:
I got the same message. How did you finally get it to work?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Make sure that you have both the modified HBOOT drivers and the HTC drivers installed. If you installed HTC Sync to get the HTC drivers, make sure that it is not running in the System Tray.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Blam23:
I got past that point...now it's stuck at "Pushing Recovery". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
More info is needed then. What version of the Aria is this? AT&T Branded or unbranded? What is the software version (Settings -> About Phone -> Software)?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Blam23:
This is a ATT branded version. Software# 1.25.502.2
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
This should work just fine. You may want to take a look at this thread and use the procedure outlined there.

[HTC Aria Android Development] kimlindo:
will this work for the HTC Gratia? I don't personally own the device myself, and I barely know anything about it or the Aria. :p is there any difference between them?
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
It has been reported that this currently will not work for the HTC Gratia. The Gratia is a European version of the HTC Aria with a different radio for European frequencies and it ships with Android 2.2 instead of Android 2.1 like the Aria does.
[HTC Aria Android Development] kimlindo:
thanks! so it's not possible to root at the moment? or is it just not popular enough to have it's own section on xda? :p

edit: after a quick search it seems like there's no root yet.
