Phone not provisioned

[BeanTown_HTC]

I have a problem. After finally talkling myself into rooting my phone I was able to pull it off sucessfully, almost. See I havent had service on my phone for 3 months. In that time I have enjoyed using it for wifi, e-mail etc. The phone always kept saying not provisioned a bunch of times but always kept functioning.
I installed cyanogen 7.0.3 (Ithink) last night and after it booted up I said "great I didnt break it" but right in the beginng when I tried to sign into my gmail (at the time already logged into my dads wifi) It wouldnt recognize that I am signed into a wifi. it just kept asking about a data plan. I dont get it.

1 year old Aria

Try going to Settings > Wireless & network settings > Mobile networks, and unchecking "Data enabled".

That was one of the first things I check. I got no idea why it won’t let me jump on internet or market even though I will see on my phone that I am connected to a strong wifi source. Then I'll use rom manager to restore back to 2.1 and my wifi will suddenly work again. It’s driving me nuts because I am having fun with cyanogen mod but the I’ll revert back to 2.1 because I have no internet

Try bypassing ROM Manager. In general there are all sorts of issues that can occur if you use ROM Manager to get to Clockworkmod on S-ON devices like the Aria. I'm not saying this is the actual cause of your problem, but it's one thing you can try.

Shut the phone off completely then do volume down + power button to get into Clockworkmod and try installing CM7 again.

Also, make sure you are doing a full wipe when you upgrade to CM7.0.3. You can't retain any settings from previous versions.

1) Boot into Clockworkmod
2) Wipe data/factory reset
3) Wipe cache partition
4) Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
5) Partitions menu > format system
6) Install Cyanogenmod zip from sdcard
7) Install Google Apps zip from sdcard
8) Reboot

Parden my newb status for asking I'm learning quick. but after I go ahead with wiping all my data etc. do I keep super user status or do I have to download various boot drivers and root my phone again?

I also just noticed that as my phone was booting up from clockwork recovery it said at the end
"no sd-ext found. skipping backup of sd-ext" Maybe that could have been the prob?

Last question is I just bought a 8 GB sd a couple days ago, should I partition it while I am doing all this? Thanks alot for the help

Yes you will still be rooted. Clockworkmod will still be installed on your phone (which is what you use to install ROMs), and the ROMs that are available on this site (including CM7.0.3) are already pre-rooted. You shouldn't ever have to use Unrevoked again.

That just means you don't have an ext partition on the SD card. It's normal.

If you partition your SD card and dedicate a portion of it to an ext partition, you can use it for additional app installation space. The Aria's internal memory is somewhat limited so this can be helpful if you like to use a lot of different apps. You don't have to partition the SD card before installing the ROM, although doing it before installing a clean ROM might save you some trouble of having to back up anything from the SD card.

You don't HAVE to partition the card if you don't want to. It's only if you want some extra app space or not.
