I drool constantly

Drooling right now, anyways.

I have a problem, and need advice, and am not sure where else to go

since I seem to need expert advice..

I received my HTC Aria about 2 weeks ago, and the wifi

function worked

just fine

with the stock firmware. I then thought

I'd flash the firmware up to 1.25.502.12 - the standard HTC-provided

firmware I got off of their website.

Wifi hasn't worked since I used that blasted thing. All other functionality

still seems to be intact. I turn on wifi, get an "Unable to scan for networks",

and then it turns itself off.

I've tried reflashing .12, I've rooted it with Unrevoked, tried

switching back and forth between Cyanogen and Liberated once or

twice. I assumed that it was either a defective driver, or the

bcm firmware was broken.

PS: Liberated is awesome! Gotta love Clockworkmod - being able

to switch back 'n forth between Liberated FR008 and Cyanogen in less

than 10 minutes.

The thing is, it seems like a real leap of faith to believe that it

was pure coincidence that the wifi chipset "broke" at the exact same

time I applied .12, yet none of the other ROMs has been able to restore

wifi for me either.

I've tried some of the suggestions - zapping

/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf, and one other - neither of

which panned out.

So here I am I'm trying to figure what I'm missing - is there some part

of the HTC rom that remains (HBOOT?) that could affect

just

the wifi

chipset? IE, some piece of the boot process/kernel that the Liberated or

Cyanogen ROMs don't replace(FYI, I also applied

htc-kern-cm-a2ext-v2-signed.zip).

Because if not, if the driver and bcm firmware are being replaced by the

new ROMs, then either a) all copies of those drivers & bcm firmware are

defective(for just me, of course), or b) the wifi chipset just happened to

burn out at the same time I applied the stock .12 HTC firmware.

Which unbelievable thing is least likely?

More ideas? Or should I just bite the bullet and return the thing(now that

I've rooted it and broken warranty :-/ ).

Thanks for any ideas you might have(including telling me which thread

I should really be posting in).

- BK
[HTC Aria Android Development] the_hatter:
At the very least you should be able to unroot your phone (see this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=729404) before trying to return it so you should be able to get them to honour the warranty.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
How are you starting clockwork recovery? Make sure its not from ROM manager, and that you are not starting it with the USB cord plugged in. See the FAQ in post #2 of this thread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Scurvy76:
I'm starting clockwork by powering off the phone, then holding the volume button and powering back on. This seems to be the only way for me to get into the bootloader options. I don't get the "reboot", "bootloader" options when I power the phone off with FR008, and USB is not plugged in.

I have sovled whatever I messed up, but I still cannot do the delvic wipe, so luckily the phone is where I want it. But I'll need to figure it out if I decide to go to CM7.

I'm currently running clockwork 2.5.??

Cheers
[HTC Aria Android Development] rmkenney12:
Thanks for the pointer - I had tried to reflash a factory .2 ROM before, but

the HTC instructions were a boatload of minimalistic fail.

The fastboot tip was just the trick for getting the HTC reflash working.

Of course, after reflashing my Aria with the X.2 ROM, wifi still doesn't work,

so at this point it looks like it's two strikes for me with AT&T. First Aria

had a defective touchpad, sent it back, and now #2 has defective wifi

circuitry.

Anybody want to take bets on 3 out of 3? :p

A sweep of the hat to ya! Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
I am running the latest rom fr008 but my radio has really bad signal. I barely get 1 bar. Don't know what the problem is. Can someone please help me out here.
[HTC Aria Android Development] shawkes:
The radio is not changed by installing this ROM. Did you ever have a good signal?
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
I did before this rom. Is there a radio upgrade available.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Sultan Ali Fezar:
Yes you can actually by an additional component at a hardware store that will change you radio reception. I haven't tried it myself but I read another it its called a hammer,from what I'm told if you apply the hammer to you phone then your phone will automatically be upgraded to fit you IQ.

;-) seriously lol

Trying to flash FR008...wiped data complete..but not sure what's going on
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
I gave up on getting wifi to work. But I did go back and play with attn1's rom and remove more stuff that was not needed like twitter and footprints and such. Haven't had any problems other than wifi and I tried the hk kernel same story.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
How did you remove twitter, footprints and such? I would like to do that too!
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
First of all I meant a radio rom upgrade, secondly mr miah bhai..keep your d@#b a@@ comments to yourself. This is a forum to gain insight not a place to prove your idiocy. So unless you have something that adds value please keep it to yourself.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
I am not sure if im posting this question in the right box, or if im posting this as a reply to an individuals post here(Sorry never posted before.)I have Liberated froyo/sense fr007 on my Aria and it has been the BEST Rom i have had so far, but before I install this rom(fr008) can anyone mention whether the wifi hotspot is working or not. I read someone has been losing hotspot connection as lockscreen comes on and backlight goes off. I need my wireless tether/hotspot as it is my only way of connecting laptop/PS3 to internet. Thanks.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Also I forgot to mention that i have looked for further posts in this thread about the problems with the wireless tether/hotspot/and lost 3G signal but it hasnt been answered yet. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.Also thank you 2 all the Devs(including Cyanogen because those roms[CM6] are very good as well) and XDA for being there for the limited consumer. By the way Liberated is the perfect name for this ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
FM Radio only works, (gets reception), when you listen to it via your wired headphones. The headphone wires act as an antenna to gain reception. Try a different pair of wired headphones, or try using it in different locations.
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
Thanks bob, but I was referring to the radio for cell signal reception not the fm radio.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
Wifi Hotspot was working flawlessly for me on FR008 (am now on CM7 nightlies). I was using the HK kernel. I think it works quite well for the majority of people.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
Hey bob I went into the liberated zip file and found the apks to the programs and removed them from the zip file.
[HTC Aria Android Development] nukys:
For those having Bluetooth issues....

Hey! This is my first post here and wanted to help (hopefully) those that may be having trouble with their bluetooth not wanting to sync with their car, or other items, after installing this rom.

After running this rom, my ARIA wouldn't "connect" with anything that I owned. It would pair, but not connect. The phone worked on the old AT&T Eclair rom prior to this. After some digging around, I found a post over at Modaco that addressed the Froyo/Bluetooth issue.

Since I'm new here, your gonna have to google "BluetoothGR Generic Froyo.zip". When you find the page, there will be three different file to choose from. I used the regular Generic zip, not the Recovery one and all is well now. My car stereo (Eclipse) remembers my phone every time I get in and out of it, bluetooth on/off, whatever. It worked for me and I hope it will work for you!

btw.. It is posted here as well under:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7281604
[HTC Aria Android Development] syed239:
Is there gonna be a Liberated Gingerbread? Looking forward to running Sense with Gingerbread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
You already started a new thread asking this same question and it was answered on that thread. The HTC Sense interface is the property of HTC and the source code is not available for custom development. Unless HTC releases a new Sense ROM based on Gingerbread for the Gratia/Aria platform, there will not be a custom Sense ROM for Gingerbread.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Probably not, unless HTC announces a 2.3 ROM for Aria or Gratia. I don't think that's going to happen.

Right - LA ROMs are not just hacked together from bits from other devices - they are from pretty much stock HTC Liberty ROMs. I am not going to waste my time with a kludgey port that does not have a prayer of working right in the end.
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
I'm curious why you say this - is it because there is some shortcoming or deficiency in the handset that makes it ill-suited for 2.3, or simply that the lack of an official 2.2 update so far seems to imply that HTC and/or AT&T have basically abandoned this handset? Or some other reason?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Is it as simple as opening the zip file, deleting the apk references and then resaving the file? Or do you have to use the android development tool kit?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Try going into settings, then Call, scroll down and look at the options for settings there. Also scroll through the various options in Wireless and Networks as well
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I don't think HTC is going to be keen on updating msm7227 devices (Aria/Gratia/Legend/MT3GS) to 2.3. It's a major change and will be a major PIA for them to do. There have been no statements fro HTC saying that anything beyond 2.2 will be available for these devices.

Consider this: AOSP is at 2.3, and AT&T has not updated the Aria beyond 2.1 yet. HTC has not rolled out 2.2 on unbranded phones in all other regions yet.

I just think HTC will be occupied with things other than bringing gingerbread to one of their least popular devices. But that's just my opinion; I don't know about that any better than anyone else.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mr.Wayne:
working on Gratia GSM verze? :)
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
The Gratia is in the same boat as the Aria. In fact the only reason we have Liberated FR008 is because HTC released the Gratia with Froyo 2.2 and the dev was able to take this ROM and modify it.

So unless HTC releases a Gingerbread 2.3 update for the Gratia, there will not be any custom Gingerbread ROMs with the HTC Sense interface.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Before I flash a ROM onto my system, I usually just go into the .zip file and delete the .apks that I do not want (or just don't want in /system so I can move them over to the sdcard). No extracting, just deleting straight from the .zip, flash, and there you have it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] BuckMulligan:
Yeah, I suspected that this was your reasoning, and I think you're probably right. Pity, because I love my Aria and I have FR008 set up to work exactly as I like for the time being, but it looks like I will eventually have to get used to working in CyanogenMod at some point if I want to take advantage of new features in the updates for AOSP.
[HTC Aria Android Development] cyrusalmighty:
Thanks for clearing this up. I will surely update to Liberated fr008, do my nandroid backup, and even try out this cm7 nightly also. I am not sure about this "HK kernal" that you mentioned or what it is. Is it already in this nightly rom or is it something i must flash seperately.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lawrence0000:
Hello attn1...I have a stupod quz here....

If I download the 2.2 update zip here

shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Liberty

(OTA_Liberty_Froyo_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.37.709.4-1.35.709.3_release_137939_158861hzi9q99j9wxsib6c.zip)

How should I take the radio part from the update...and flash it on your Fr008

Cause my signal is not that good since I use Fr008, So there I wonder could it be the radio problem?(Cause you made fr008 with the European radio)....

But If this is unnecessarily .... Just let me know.

Huge Thanks
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
The HK (Hong Kong) kernel is only use with the Liberated ROM FR series. It is the most up to date HTC kernel for the Aria and was extracted from the SouthEast Asia Froyo 2.2 OTA update, thus the reason it can only be used with Sense-based ROMs.

After you flash FR008, you can then flash the HK kernel. The download link is on the first thread of the Libreated Aria Froyo.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Thundervore:
I tried this ROM and for some reason it slowed my phone down. The simple process of sending a text message which use to take 3 seconds after hitting send now takes 10 - 15 seconds after pressing send.

Ive tried it all from wiping data and delvk cache before flashing and after flashing to factory reset also and its still slow to do basic things. I flash back to Liberated 2.1 and it flies.

Ami dong something wrong or do this need the overclock to make it snappy again?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Mark02:
I just went into the zip and deleted apks that I didn't want i'm not sure if that is the right way but I have not had any problems at all with that method.
[HTC Aria Android Development] shawkes:
The radio ROM is not changed by flashing FR008.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
I will try this tomorrow, another snow day here in New Jersey!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
You can't flash a different radio firmware. Currently, HBOOT S-ON prevents it. We never changed the radio. I am sure your signal strength is the same - you can't go by the number of "bars" you see - that's very arbitrary. You have to go into settings and look at the signal strength in -db.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lawrence0000:
Thanks for your reply. But I already flash the new radio.img. And my signal didn't getting better. But!!the gps getting faster at the "First time open"! I can't sure it is my illusion or not...! I'm going to test with the other original Fr008.

I flash the RADIO_47.52.35.18U_7.13.35.05 ver

multiupload.com/3U1L1N5FQ5

And I also found the most update radio.img. But I can't flash it and I don't know why. I think it's the Sign problem.

Do you want give a try ^^?
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
I just installed the signed version of the radio and after installation the radio signal had some major improvement. I am getting -97 dBm 5asu asu compared to the earlier -107 dBm. Would someone else like to try this out and report back please. You get to see this by typing *#*#4636#*#*
[HTC Aria Android Development] crispcat89:
I never had any problems with liberated froyo rom. At all. Wifi worked. No force closes, connected fine every time I plugged it into my PC. Any of you stop to think that if its not working out so great use a different rom.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Really? What's the source of the "signed radio"?

Without S-OFF, it's unlikely you flashed a radio anything unless it was an HTC OTA, and it's not wise to flash those unless you are sure they are not accompanied by a new HBOOT.
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
My S-off was done. This is the link that I used. RADIO_47.52.35.18U_7.13.35.05 ver

multiupload.com/3U1L1N5FQ5

Not sure if I messed things up or not. So far things are working alright.

How do you have S-OFF on your Aria?

A2SD

Hey guys, NOOB here. Need help.

I already partition my SD card with ROM MANAGER.

Then what?

How this A2SD works?

I've use Quick System Infor to check.

SD Card

Free 6.1GB

A2SD Storage

Tatal: 457MB Free: 425MB

Internal Starage

Total: 185MB Free: 64.03MB

How does a2SD works?
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Well, FR008 already comes with an A2SD feature that does not require a partition. All you have to do is go into the Application Manager menu and press each application and press "move to SD."

But if you want to do it the partition way with the DT script; download the .zip file from his thread and flash it through the recovery. All of your downloaded/installed apps will be automatically moved to the partition, unless they were moved to the SD card through the ROM itself. In that case, just move the apps back to phone, which will automatically put them on the SD card's partition.
[HTC Aria Android Development] lawrence0000:
I found two of them

I flash the RADIO_47.52.35.18U_7.13.35.05 ver (This got a successful sign )

multiupload.com/3U1L1N5FQ5

And I also found the most update radio.img. But I can't flash it and I don't know why. I think it's the Sign problem. (Recovery don't flash it)

radio_47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13 .zip
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
That's the radio released with the Gratia. This begs two questions - you're holding out on us!

How did you find it packaged like that?

How did you get S-OFF?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Bob in Northern NJ:
Download kitchen timer, a free app from the market place, and install it. Then go into settings, applications and find kitchen timer. You will see an option to move it to your SD card. Any application that has Move to SD card "grayed out" has automatically been moved to the SD card.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
The second one is not a flashable. It's just a ordinary zip archive. That radio is from HK/TW 2.2 OTA. I know because they have the same md5sum. I flashed that one before, without error message. But the baseband version remain unchanged = 47.41.35.10H_7.09.35.13, so I thought it had no update. Now obviously I was wrong.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
liberty-radio47.54.35.20U_7.13.35.13

I tried again on the HK OTA's radio and succeeded. Simply sign it with testsign would be fine (or maybe don't sign it at all, as long as the zip has a update-script in place). Apparently S-ON doesn't lock the radio partition, otherwise I can't flash it.

Everyone, I uploaded it at here: http://www.mediafire.com/?c8e3griw1iipg

md5sum: 4c02ac371af656f1a68b1328f17f2bd4

Remember to reboot right after flashing it.

Should it be a thread regarding radio images?
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
attn1, please no laughing on this one. Ok, so when you go to the liberated rom there is an option for turning signature off, I used that. Not sure if that is the same s-off you were taking about.

Btw in the last picture the rom showed ver 2.3, did you already come out with that version I didn't see it yet.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Perseids:
what is this status icon???

This icon appeared this morning and I have no idea where it came from or how to get rid of it. Any ideas? It is the icon to the left of the Wifi icon. It does not show up in the manual anywhere I could find. Tried to upload screens but it won't let me. The icon looks kinda like an ear with an earbud or something.
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
That is a screen shot of a CM7 ROM.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Ken1939:
Perseids, the icon shows that you have the "hearing aid" feature under settings/call turned on. I have done this because it greatly increases the volume of calls.
[HTC Aria Android Development] stone_ship:
And you are seeing better overall reception with it?

Would this radio work for other ROMs, such as CM7?
[HTC Aria Android Development] radaps:
Perseids, how did you capture the picture of your phone screen?
[HTC Aria Android Development] Perseids:
I used an app I found in the market for the screenshot. It is a free app. just search for 'screen shot' there are a couple good ones out there.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
No, was talking about S-OFF HBOOT. Okay, evidently the radio can be flashed from recovery. This is good news.

But people should be aware that a problem flashing a radio can brick the phone. Use caution.
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
Yeah, but the baseband reflects the radio firmware version. That is not impacted by Cm7 or FR008.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Now when you say brick... you don't mean perma-brick right? Just the usual bootlooping?
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I mean perma-brick. If the radio image on the phone fails, the phone becomes trash. It won't boot to anything, and you won't fix it.
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
Alrighty then, I'll leave this alone then since I have no problems with signal. Lol thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] GroovyGeek:
Any more brave souls tried flashing the radio and seen improved reception? My signal atty work is weak, I will take all the help I can get
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
Reception of the previous radio wasn't bad enough for me to notice any improvement of the new one.

It works on CM7, as it's shown on the screenshot.
[HTC Aria Android Development] ladios:
If you have time, you can compare the radio images in 2.1 RUUs of HK and your region. If they are identical, then I think it's ok for you to flash it.

For how to get the radio image out of a RUU, google "htc ruu rom.zip".
[HTC Aria Android Development] axleforce:
Fix to the problem of sending SMS to the Wrong contact?

Now that Google has finally fixed the SMS problem (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=9392) is there any way to get this fix into Liberated Aria ROM?

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Android Development] attn1:
I am unaware of that particular sms "problem" being confirmed or fixed, though Google did patch sms in a recent code drop.

Liberated Aria is pretty much a stock HTC Sense ROM. Since we don't have source code for it then we wait for HTC. When HTC pushes a fix and I can get my mitts on it - then yes - but not until.

HTC Sense just sucks like that.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
How to reproduce that problem? I never had that problem, -well I guess-.
[HTC Aria Android Development] Darius_bd:
Did you had that problem? I thought it only ocurred to the N1 with stock ROM...
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
I have strange problem with gMail client. I am deleting all messages just after reading them on my phone. After, when I log on from a PC to gMail, all messages are still in my inbox. Does anyone experiencing this? ..or, is that a normal behavior of gMail client? :O
[HTC Aria Android Development] tpbklake:
Strange. Running FR008 and I just tried it. Deleted message using the Gmail client on my phone and then launched Gmail on my PC and all of the messages I deleted on the phone were gone in Gmail, too. I checked the Gmail client settings on the phone and didn't see anything obvious for you to check.
[HTC Aria Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
I've seen this a resolved it. You should look at:

1. Settings -> Accounts & sync settings -> google account (Make sure "Sync Gmail" is checked)

2. If using SetCPU or CPU tuner, etc.; I've seen low (<480) settings cause network/update issues.

3. Settings -> Applications -> GMail [Clear Data]
[HTC Aria Android Development] jeebuz:
You have to refresh Gmail after you delete the measages so the server gets the signal to delete the emails

Unless if you have sync on it sgoulld do it for you
[HTC Aria Android Development] axleforce:
Thanks attn1!

I am not any good at reading code, but it looks like the patches are here: I'm sure you can make more sense out of them than I can.
[HTC Aria Android Development] barisahmet:
Clearing data solved my problem, even my SetCPU is set 245760 ~ 825000 ondemand.

Thanks, that was important.
