[HTC Aria General] techsican:
Is there any developer out the willing to take on this task?

Is any will to donate to get this development done? I know I do.

Please comment.

Thank you,

Techsican

UPDATE: 4/11/2011

As of my original post, there has been some interest on getting this issue resolved, by donation offerings and a developer has even offered his time on working on this issue for us.

Attn1 has offered his time to try to figure out the rooting issue with the Froyo update from HTC/AT&T due to the hboot lock.

All we need is for someone to offer up their phone with the latest Froyo update so we can send it to attn1 to see if he can get it to root. I see that a couple of you guys have offered their phones already. I will be contacting you guys to see if we can come up with plan on getting attn1 a phone. I might just use my son's phone if he is willing to part with it for a while.

Update 4/14/2011

Attn1 is going to find a work around out of the kindness of his heart and does not want any compensation. This is what I love about the Android community, there is alway someone willing to help out solve problems without asking for anything in return. Attn1, you might not want are money, but please except our Thanks!

Thank again and keep an eye out for updates.

please please

someone help us to root again
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
I would be willing to donate. As much as I love my Aria, right now I've had it. AT&T really knows how to take a perfectly great phone and turn it to s#%* with all their crapware.

I just didn't realize I wouldn't be able to go back to being rooted.:(
[HTC Aria General] Ken1939:
You might try buying an Aria with 2.1 so you can root it and sell your 2.2. Should be within a few bucks of even money and you can get ability to root back.
[HTC Aria General] wushi8:
Good idea,hehe!
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
Buying a new phone would be an excellent idea if it was in the budget.
[HTC Aria General] techsican:
I guess we all fell for to the old upgrade trap! I was hoping to get this resolved, so I could root and update my son's phone to a cleaner/leaner ROM, like CM7. I have a contract renewal in June, so I guess my son will just have to wait. Oh well! :/

Regrets

Regrets to all that have upgraded to Froyo 2.2 using RUU method. I am confident that with the brain trust of talented developers out there it won't be long before someone finds away to reverse the upgrade. Until then we wait and hope....

Got the wife an unlocked Aria, she's not into roms and such but wish I could remove all the att crapware!

Sent via my CM7 RC3 G2. PTFO
[HTC Aria General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
For your wife, throw Liberated Aria Froyo on her phone with either the stock kernel (provided in the Liberated Aria Froyo thread) or Gene Poole's hoxnet_004b kernel and call it a day. Liberated Aria Froyo is totally unbranded, meaning no logos and no crapware. Plus it keeps things familiar for her since it uses Sense.
[HTC Aria General] actorman46:
I would be willing to donate aswell. My brother wants to root his phone but updated before he knew any better.
[HTC Aria General] wrxmike471:
I am in for $20, if someone can fix this unrootable 2.2
[HTC Aria General] jpcdeux:
Can't do anything yet. No root! Appreciate the input though! Ill remember that if we ever get root
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
I'l donate too:p
[HTC Aria General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Sorry. I had assumed that her phone had 2.1 on it. Did it come from AT&T with 2.2 on it when bought and it was upgraded?
[HTC Aria General] erwaso:
Suscribed. Id love to root this phone. dont know why i upgraded to 2.2 :(
[HTC Aria General] jpcdeux:
Idk. Came from craigslist. Read they can't be downgraded anyway. :(
[HTC Aria General] actorman46:
Do we know if the old way of rooting works, before unrevoked?

[HTC Aria General] rullean:
for users who have upgraded to att froyo, how is the performance and could the aria now play flash files/videos/games? or does it still use Flash Lite? my aria is still rooted and am using CM7 RC4, however, I still miss flash lite... even if Flash 10.1 is not designed to work for the aria cpu, I would love to have flash lite back on the CM7... would make this a perfect phone for me.. perfect size, perfect response time... etc...
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
you wn't get flash lite on CM7 and you certainly won't ever get flash 10.1 on the aria unless they add support for our cpu...i highly discourage you from upgrading to the offical at&t froyo..instead, there has already been posts of roms that ARE the official update MINUS the hboot upgrade so that you can retain your root.

See: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970272
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
I may be able to provide a method to do it, but it would require sending one that has been upgraded to me.
[HTC Aria General] Anstar:
It still has Flash Lite in 2.2.2. I can't speak to the difference in performance, since I only had it a day or two before updating to 2.2.2 (didn't know better. whoops.). It does now have an option under Wireless and Networks for "Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot" that I don't think I remember seeing before updating.
[HTC Aria General] actorman46:
I would be willing to pitch in for one to send to you. I'll post later with prices for those who want to kick in.
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
I'm in for a few bucks.:D
[HTC Aria General] xantar35:
yea, im in too!

Would love to get custom rom on my HTC gratia!
[HTC Aria General] actorman46:
Okay guys, I checked the market on here and on Ebay and it looks like we need to come up with about $180 to get a phone to attn1. I'll pm the op as well, but if your reading this can you update the first post to reflect our new goals? It might help get some new traffic and donations to get this thing going! Oh, and if anyone has a phone they can donate that would be great as well!

According to the donations collected I can sell mine at that price . Although was trying to avoid the shipping part but was sold as soon as I read the last message on the above mentioned thread informing me of this situation !
[HTC Aria General] techsican:
Sorry guys haven't been keeping up with this thread. I've been busy with work and studying. Looks like a lot of people are untreated on supporting this cause. I'm out of town but when I return in couple of days I'll make a more official post on what has transpired in the last couple of weeks and will tally up all the potential donations.

Not looking for a free phone. If someone can part with one that has been updated already, I'll try to unlock it again. I'll send it back when I am done testing.
[HTC Aria General] zamula:
I have a spare Aria that I dropped and the main speaker is broken, that I might be willing to send to support the cause if no one else comes up with one soon. But I do use it for surfing etc and would hate to be stuck on stock.

attn1 - How likely do you think your success will be to root from the new HBOOT? And if not, would you have any chance of restoring it from a nandroid backup?
[HTC Aria General] actorman46:
That would be ideal. I'm willing to pay shipping costs if that helps anyone. But if we can't find anyone to lend you a phone, I think we are all willing to pitch in to get one to you. But lets wait a while and see if someone has one they can send you.
[HTC Aria General] cb5222:
I will ship a phone too attn1 if one has not been sent to him before May 13th. If someone will cover shipping.
[HTC Aria General] techsican:
attn1,

Thanks for offering your time to get this issue resolved. I'll go ahead and update the original post to see if someone is willing to donate/part with their phone for some period of time. Maybe I'll be able to talk my son into parting with his phone. I believe a couple of people have already posted offers to donate their phones to the cause. If people are willing to donate funds to compensate you some for your time, do you have a paypal account or something were we can make our donations?
[HTC Aria General] :
wildfire and legend users got updated to froyo in the middle of december. wildfire users are even still waiting now for someone to root their phone.

legend users cannot root their official froyo. but they managed to downgrade to official eclair and root, and then updating to froyo without loosing root access. i dont know how it is possible, but many people succeeded in doing so. however legend also got rooted.

now it is wildfire and aria users who are waiting now to root their phones.

dont know how long it takes for aria users. htc sucks if it goes on implementing security like this.
[HTC Aria General] zervic:
FWIW, pretty sure AT&T probably had a little more to do with the new HBOOT than HTC did.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Update:

I obtained one with a broken screen that works (on the very cheap). I plan to upgrade that one and then have a go at it. I have no idea if it will end up functioning until I have a chance to complete testing.

Consider:

Even though the firmware can be downgraded, the Liberty and Wildfire HBOOT cannot. This is were the problem lies with both the Wildfire and the Aria. The legend HBOOT can be downgraded.

Refurb/replacement phones are now shipping with the new hboots installed.

I will try, but I do not expect to find a software solution.

I can try a hardware solution that is not distributable, but may provide insight and a solution for those willing to send their phones to a service to get S-OFF and custom recovery installed.

Anyone interested in installing custom firmware should NEVER run official updates - or they can find themselves in this situation.

AlphaRev

Sooooo I came across this little gem today:

http://alpharev.nl/

"Supported devices:

HTC Desire GSM (Bravo), all hardware models (PVT4 too)

HTC Legend GSM, HBOOT 1.0+ is NOT supported

HTC myTouch 3G Slide (Espresso)

To be supported devices in version 2.0 (in no particular order):

HTC Aria GSM (Liberty)

HTC Wildfire GSM (Buzz)

HTC Desire CDMA (BravoC) - enabling fastboot in addition to S-OFF"

Saw jznomoney was in the IRC node, who I've seen lurking around on here before (or was that the NC forum? Dont remember). At any rate, Maybe there's been some progress already made here software-wise? May be worth it to reach out.
[HTC Aria General] Crapothegreat:
The requirement is kind of an issue since the goal is to root the phone to begin with, unless I am reading it wrong (which is possible, I'm a newbie at rooting or i wouldn't have upgraded to begin with)

Hope this works out, I was somewhat OK with the last stock version but with 2.2 the carrierware is absolutely ridiculous (especially that annoying bloody AT&T logo that replaces the status bar, FFS). I'm about ready to try and take it into the store and and ride the chain for a downgrade.
[HTC Aria General] drumist:
There are advantages to getting security disabled on the phone even after you are rooted. But yes, this method wouldn't be useful for people who have the 2.2.2 official update installed.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
This will not work for those that have updated to HTC's 2.2.x updates for Aria or for Gratia owners.

Okay, my beater Aria arrived, with AT&T's 2.2.2 update and hboot 1.02.000

The bad news: I don't have a software solution.

The good news: I do have a hardware solution - meaning there is a device that can provide s-off and allow nand acesss.

I'll establish some way to provide a service cheaper than anyone having to buy the hardware for themselves.

Next week, there will be a device available for $36.00 + shipping from Europe. I think a service should be less than that, including two way shipping.

[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Yes it has been investigated and determined that it won't work on the Aria.
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
In reading the description it requires that an eng-hboot image for the Aria be available to flash. If such an image was available, then a solution to rooting the Froyo 2.2 update would have already been created.

Rooting the Aria is not going to be a software solution, it is going to require a hardware device to connect the Aria to and modify some settings.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Without s-off to begin with, it requires an RUU with an eng HBOOT, not just an ENG HBOOT, for a software solution. You can't flash just the HBOOT without S-OFF. Chicken/egg.

I can s-off with hardware.
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
Yeah, with a radio exploit exposed by power cycling emmc on the newer emmc devices. Aria is not such a device, and the exploit does not exist.
[HTC Aria General] HappyPelican:
Just want to thank everyone involved for working on getting the Aria rooted again.:) Your efforts are much appreciated!

Just wanted to see if there was any further info on the progress of this.

[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
No progress on a software solution, however there is a solution that uses a hardware diagnostic device to turn the phone's security flag off (S-OFF) the Aria so a custom recovery and rooted ROM can be applied. Search for threads contains the phrase "XTC Clip"

problem after s-off with XTC Clip

Hello! I have a problem with my HTC Aria (HBOOT 1.02, liberated_aria_FR008 ) after s-off via XTC Clip. Problem is in that after pressure of the key to "call" a telephone is blocked and turned off screen (a call is goes), bringing back to life him is possible only taking out and back inserting a battery.

I need you help, please.

Sounds like a problem with the proximity sensor. Have you replaced the digitizer on your phone?

How to Root 2.2 Aria (Stock or Upgraded)

I DID IT!! and here's how you can too it's pretty easy

1st go here to download AlphaRev.nl/X/beta to turn S-on to S-Off

AlphaRev X - Make it your phone

in the beta application windows

just fill in your phone and pc specs for your serial number look for it on the HBOOT screen of your aria and generate key... remember your beta key they give you

extract AlphaRev X and start it up it will look like the command prompt and enter your beta key

let it do its thing it will reboot the phone into HBOOT and continue reconfiguring... afterward it should restart.

the find out if s-on turned off just boot your phone into hboot mode and you should see it at the top it should say S-OFF

Then just flash clockwork or your favorite recovery.

Worked for me on HTC Aria with stock 2.2

I was looking at the build prop and noticed the VM heap in honeycomb is 256mb. Now I only know a llittle about the VM heap but doesn't that seem a little high? Could this contribute to the launcher getting kicked out of memory so often, it seems its always redrawing the home screen
[Xoom General] Mrdaviso:
I have been running mine that high to get lwp's to work on gingerbread ROMS, it also helped the honey sdk ports that are out there. Something changed a while back I think.
[Xoom General] nswenson:
256MB is the absolute maximum any one process can allocate. Initial heap size is only 5MB and it looks like there is a limit of 48MB in the dynamic increase above the initial allocation. Actually, not quite sure how the 48MB and 256MB parameters work exactly. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in.

Yes, I'd like to know more too. I used 396mb for a week with no issues on my mytouch 4g. It was 24mb in the stock build.

I'm pretty sure he said most/all of it he photoshopped/embedded into the wallpaper. and he used transparent icons with desktop visualizer (widgets) to click on the text. most likely.

i agree... seems the most plausible way to do it

Yes, it's all embedded in the wallpaper. I remember this layout from the screenshot thread here. The user even posted his modded wallpapers for download at some point, if I remember correctly.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jschill31:
Hello,

Had this working ok on my HSG X5A-G but with a few added libs it does pretty good on the Coby 7015. Please only do this if you have some experience and use Root Explorer or know what to do in Terminal or adb. This may not work for you but it does work if you follow these instructions:

1) Download all needed files here: http://www.mediafire.com/?0xdwq6fae45b3cq

2) Extract the 5 files (2 apps and 3 libs) and transfer them to your tablet however you see fit

3) Use Root Explorer to move all 3 lib files to /system/lib then change each of them to reflect the permissions of RW-,R--,R-- (they must match all the other lib files)

4) Install both apps normally using any file explorer or installation apps

5) REBOOT YOUR TABLET!

Open your browser (stock application) and start surfing the net. Do not attempt to go to a flash site immediatly. After you have browsed a few pages you can go to a site like: Show My Flash Player Version and it should return a version of AFL 9,1,122,0 (FlashLite version 9). If it returns this you are set and can start browsing flash sites. I have not had more than a few minutes of testing and I seem to remember there were several sites that do not work since it is FlashLite but it is a start. One of my favorit flash test sites is: Muffin Films by Amy Winfrey , I am not sure why but the short films are funny. If your tablet lags, give it some time to adjust to the new plugin. For some reason the first few times you use flash it takes longer to load and run. No you can't use Hulu or HBO but there are lots of flash sites out there other than these two.

FlashLite runs very well on the Coby tablet but if you are using any CPU software make sure your min speed is not lower than 500 and of course your max is not above 720 because Telechips refuses to release enough sources to compile a kernel. I gave up on that a long time ago... Also a cache cleaner is a good idea to have.

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Wirmpolter:
Hey all, so I'm not new to the android market, but only had my hd2 for a few weeks now, I was wondering if a few people could post what nand rom they are using, and what you are getting for mV on the battery at 0%.

I know my battery is good, since the few roms I've tried so far my battery always charges to 4204 mV, but when it comes to 0%, I was just curious if my battery was functioning right, since anywhere from 34xx mV to 36xx mV my phone turns off. However a couple of times when I have begun charging it and it boots up, it starts charging at 32xx mV at 0% and once it hit's 2 or 3 % it's already up to 35xx mV
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Not sure what or if I did something to my HD7 but I'm not getting warning messages in some 3rd party apps that it can't connect to Microsoft's Push Notification Services.

This only happened because I was annoyed at seeing a fake update for the marketplace for a week for Alphajax so I removed it and reinstalled it.

After doing this I get a message every time in Alphajax telling me push notifications aren't working and to try restarting my phone. So I tried it and didn't fix anything. This sucks because this game relies on push notifications. Now some other games are now giving me the same messages.

Anyone else suddenly suffering from recent push notification issues? Wondering if the problem in on MS' side and maybe just temporary.
[HD7 General] jimbonics:
Yikes, that would suck. Try doing wifi only. make sure you have a nice solid connection (test in IE). Then open AlphaJax, open one of your games to make sure it connects. Maybe even play a turn.

I know when I have marketplace issues, this type of stuff usually fixes it, barring a reboot.

Idaknow man, fortunately I do not have this issue.
[HD7 General] pistol44:
Yeah I tried the wi-fi.. no luck. I also tested a few other 3rd party apps like Who's Near Me, Live Messenger and Checkers Pro Free and played an internet game and all work fine. I emailed Alpha Jax support and they directed me to an article on their site saying it's all Microsofts fault and it has nothing to do with Alpha Jax and they hope that MS will fix this issue in their next update and that the only resolution is a hard reset.

But seems a little weird to me that the only app that won't connect to the push servers is Alpha Jax and its bad knockoff counterpart...
