Looks like you made a bad mistake my friend =(. Sorry for ya.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chritz1179:
i upgraded my to the official 2.2 now i cant get the free wifi hotspot feature without paying $60 bucks. Has anyone managed to root it yet?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
No there is currently no way to root the newer HTC devices that have installed the Froyo update, including now the AT&T Aria. HTC has modified the HBOOT loader code on all of these devices and removed the previous root exploit that was used. At this point in time a new rootable exploit has not been found, so you are out of luck.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chilimac02:
Why would HTC (= not gay) allow ATT (= gay) to dictate something line locking the phone to a specific ROM and not letting users continue to root the thing?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
AT&T had nothing to do with this. HTC is the one that has changed the HBOOT loader code on all of their devices, not just the AT&T Aria. If you bought an unlocked HTC Aria from Asia and installed the Froyo 2.2 update, you would have the same issue.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R2D2_SW:
Yes indeed. But I don't get it why they are pressed to change the HBOOT like this. Someone will end-up cracking it anyway. But anyway...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sshimomichi:
Dude, you can still tether w/o paying by creating apn settings for MediaNet.

You can find info about APN settings in the forum or download an app that can backup apn settings (I use HiAPN) and access your phone via computer and open up the XML file. In that file it should have the apn settings of your carrier (password, proxy, etc.) Make a new APN setting with the same values you just read. Please note that MCC is 310 and MNC is 410.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamb2:
Has anyone figured out how to root the new aria HBOOT ? Or are they still working on it if anyone is working on it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezone010:
as far as I know, many people had this mistake and had to wait for developer to solve it one day:(
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
This is a common problem with a lot of the HTC devices and is not unique to the Aria upgrade, so once a solution is discovered, hopefully it can be applied to the Aria also.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmwagner:
Security of the platform. If you openly allow people to gain root access to your devices, no one will want to carry your device, nor develop software for it.

Rooting allows

-method to circumvent tethering restrictions

-file browsing the phone which allows easy pirating of software

Me, I want to root for the first reason.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobla_Khan:
Find someone with an XTC Clip and have them s-off your phone. Once that is done you can root it again use whatever rom you want. Sent mine off yesterday, the ATT official 2.2.2 rom is crap, seems worse than the original 2.1 rom that came on the phone if you ask me.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m a r k:
Where did you send it too
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xboxhaxorz:
So this allows you to network unlock your phone, as well as root it?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobla_Khan:
I'm a little fuzzy on the details but from what I understand it is a radio s-off. I should be able to write to the system partition, flash custom recoveries and hboots if I want. I don't think it network unlocks my phone but I will find out. I should have my phone back tomorrow according to tracking.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martinak88:
Hi,

I have S-off and HBOOT 1.00.0000 as you can see here: pictureup.cz/media/images/10052011/7bf1a69012ca2e453e2a02ad5dffd3a805e53b9d.jpg .

What is next step to flash clockworkmod or or cyanogenmod?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
Since you are already radio S-OFF but not ENG S-OFF fastboot flash image won't work directly, but this will work:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip clockwork2501.zip
fastboot reboot

Any Updates on Rooting the HTC Aria with stock 2.2.2?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Have you been reading this thread? The only option to rooting a HTC Aria with HBOOT 1.0x and Android 2.2 is using a hardware device called the XTC Clip.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkk101:
Yeah i did read about it and it seems like a expensive alternative. Is UNEVOKED working on a software rooting fix or someone at XDA? The problem is with all htc phones i understand. Hopefully there will be a software hack soon.:)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
HTC is closing their software exploits.

While the XTC Clip isn't cheap, there are services available that are far cheaper.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkk101:
Thanks for your reply.! You mentions of service being available. Can u let me know of the service and what i need to do about it? If you like u can send me a PM

Also Do u know if this AMT method would work on HTC ARIA 2.2.2 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1037315
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
If you visit the irc channel in my sig look for mashi or myself.

That AMT method is for early rom version emmc devices like Desire HD, Desire Z, G2 etc,and not MTD devices like Aria, Legend, Wildfire, Desire, etc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghamden:
Looks as if all the rom masters are using Motorola's hamsrtung versions of roms to build from

the dead giveaway is no seperate groups in contacts which is built into googles virgin roms that Moto seems to remove

Lock screen Is Moto styled

I am presently using 2.2 oem rooted tt removed bloat -- zeam front end and gb keyboard works perfect but

as wE ALL know something about ANDROID makes you want to flash the rom and experiment

this is not a knock at all the rom masters just would like to see something other than Moto based roms.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keith.mcintyre26:
Well you came to the right place. There are absolutely 0 moto roms in the incredible forum.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I believe he's actually calling stock generic android Motorola based. Like the stock unlock screen and what not.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andassaran:
Motorola uses the virgin Google lock screen, so that's not a valid comparison. And you have to add the groups (except favorites) by hand
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bomber889:
just flash cm7 and everything will work for you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghamden:
I stand correctd about lock screen but how to i make my groups showup iback up through google all clients are in groups

they show in rooted stock 2.2 as all or group mode i can't find how to switch to group mode.

thanks in advance for suggestions.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghamden:
Loaded CM7

looks good but no gropus in contacts no way to add groups

this is a must have when sorting contacts easier to access remember we use our phone for business not just play when you have hundreds of contacts grouping is the most effcient way to sort them.

I would like to load a gingerbread rom but not until grouping is avaiable.

it is native to google backup
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Ok now I get what you mean normal froyo 2.2 has groups maybe try out some of those roms? There are alot of good ones cm 6 skyraider virtuous to name just a few.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghamden:
Why would they remove it that is why it looks like moto more than htc

[Galaxy Tab General] da_in_sd:
I was in Best Buy in San Diego on 1/29/11 and I saw the Verizon Tab for $399 ( or the Sprint Tab for $399 ). I was just about to buy one when I decided to do some more research first.

1. Does anyone know if Andriod 2.3 will be available for this soon? Where would I go to hear about news for Tab/Android updates?

2. Does anyone know if Sammy will continue support for this device till end of 2011? By support I mean an Android 3.0 release sometime in the Fall/Winter of 2011.

3. My first "hands-on" experience with this device inside a BestBuy with a pretty solid WiFi signal left me kinda wanting. It was less than spectacular. It seemed slow while loading pages in the web-browser? And often would get stuck few 5 to 10 seconds while loading. Is that typical?

4. The Multi-touch screen while browsing the web worked pretty well but sometimes when you clicked on a textbox ( such as the "username" textbox on a login webpage ) you have to click twice or three times before it would respond. Is this typical?

5. I launched the Marketplace app (my first time using it) and downloaded the PinBall app just to see how long it would take. The "download" icon appeared in the upper-left corner of screen and about 20 seconds later it said "complete". I located the PinBall app and launched it. The play seemed very fast and the app generally worked well. However, I noticed it wasn't formatted for the Tab's larger screen. Is this typical for all Marketplace apps?

-dan in san diego
[Galaxy Tab General] rkmj:
1. Samsung promised an update for the TAB, but they gave no indication when that would happen. Checking on Samsung's Twitter feed, here or Engadget would be the quickest way to find out. As soon as it happens, it will be publicized.

2. Based on Samsung's Keynote at CES, (where they heavily privileged the Galaxy Tab, and showed some emerging technologies that were heavily tied to the Galaxy Tab), it seems that they are in for the long haul with the TAB. We will know more after Samsung's announcement at the Mobile World Conference on February 13th.

3. No. This is not typical. Best Buy's Wifi network is always slow. Considering all the floor model devices they connect to it, these speeds are typical for Best Buy, but have no bearing on the TAB.

4. This is definitely not typical. In my time with the TAB, I have not seen this. You have to bear in mind that the floor model you played with is put through hell every day with tons of people playing with it, going to different websites, and installing different (and sometimes less than reputable) apps. It's a tester, it has lived a short but beleaguered life.

5. This is not typical for Marketplace apps, but some of the apps are not formatted for a tablet screen. This is the fault of the developers, but there is a quick and easy fix that will enable the Galaxy Tab to scale those apps to fill the entire screen. It works extremely well.

I hope this has answered your questions. If you do choose to buy it, enjoy!

In the contacts program, you can save it to your card. Its an icf file I think.

There's a program called app saver that will back up all your downloaded apps to your sd card. It saves them as apk. They don't have the version number as part of the file name but its better than nothing and not difficult to reinstall them.

Hey Guys I just wanted to know how much "bulk" a OtterBox Defender Case adds to the HTC HD2 T-Mobile?? Cause I am sitting on a bus a lot and it is already hard to get out of my pocket since its so big!

PS: If any of you guys also know of a website that sells them for really cheap would be fantastic!!!

Adds a lot of bulk, but since it comes with a hip holster, that doesn't really matter.

I ordered mine on Amazon. Best case out there.

i could say double the bulk.

and with that hip holster, quadruple the bulk.

but you hardly notice it, unless you compare it with other naked phone.

people will comment how big your phone is, but then again, without defender people will still say your phone is big.

oh, btw, if my pocket as tight as yours, i definitely wouldn't put it in my pocket without defender.

[EVO 4G General] Ninja25:
that has heard about apps like Pandora can steal your information? I was on virus forum and read this:

"I love Pandora. I really couldn't do without it. But I could do without its sending my demographic information, phone ID, and location to eight trackers across six companies. And Pandora's far from the worst offender, the WSJ shows us.

The Journal's report lays bare much of what we already suspected, or outright knew but didn't bother thinking about: iOS and Android apps are having a field day with your personal info. More than half of the 101 popular apps they tested sent your UDID to companies without your awareness or consent. Nearly as many sent your location, and a handful even sent along demographic info and other personal details to advertisers.

It's a small sample size given the hundreds of thousands of apps out there, but it's hard to imagine that the most prominent names just happen to be the most aberrant. And the list of worst offenders also reads like a roll-call of must haves: Pandora. Angry Birds. Netflix. Shazam. Et tu, Yelp?

And yes, it makes perfect sense that apps that deliver location-based information would need to know your location. But the extra step of passing that on to marketers is something a user should at the very least have knowledge of, and should ideally be able to opt out of. Not everyone enjoys highly targeted ads so much that they're willing to compromise their privacy to have them on their phone.

iOS apps shared more data than Android apps, on the whole—somewhat surprising given the rigidity of the App Store approval process compared to Android's looser environment. And there's really nothing you can do to stop it.

There's something Apple and Google could do, though: create privacy policies. Make it abundantly clear to users what information apps are going to take, who they're going to send it to. And if you're feeling really generous this holiday season, give us a chance to opt out."

am i the only one that is worried or is there no need to worry?
