I just got a replacement phone today that came with the att 2.2 installed. is there no possible way to root the phone with this already installed? im doomed if thats the case.
[Q] Is root completly impossible with the official at&t 2.2
- Thread starter Freemantig
- Start date
I know. I didn't even think about it. I would have rather had my broken phone than a new one that can't be rooted... total crap. I hope someone figures this out soon. Really steals the cool right out of Android with all at&t restrictions and htc giving us the shaft with a patched hboot. Devs please figure this out if its even possible...

I'll be honest and say I don't really know what all that means

There are rumours of a device that when attached to your phone (the innards?) can bypass the bad hboot and let one root. plus it can allow the yet unacheived s-off or nand lock off which completely opens the phone (you can alter the currently protected system read/ write while the phone is running)

Is it possible to go back to 2.1 after update to 2.2
Has anyone tried to go back to 2.1 with Odin after official AT&T upgrade to 2.2.
One way or another I WILL get this AT$ T garbage off this phone.
OR has anyone tried to go to another custom ROM straight from AT$T 2.2,
Thanks In Advance.

Although you can run the original 2.1 RUU and get the old ROM version installed, this process does not change and overwrite the HBOOT loader. The HBOOT loader 1.02 was installed with the AT&T 2.2 update and this is what is preventing the previous root exploit to work on the Aria that has the AT&T 2.2 update installed.
The only chance is that the XTC Clip hardware device will be able to turn the Aria security flag (S-OFF) off and then the phone can be rooted and custom ROMs flashed.
Turn the phone off and then hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. The phone will boot into the boot loader. Your hboot version will be displayed with other information on this screen.
HBOOT loader 1.02, oh well i guess i put this phone on ebay and move on to something else. I only paid $39 for this phone so i should make out good. It was almost new. Or i might just wait a bit to see what solutions come around. I wonder if some local cell shop cant s-off it for me.
quick question: whats stopping us from creating a "gold card" using our own sdcards and computers?
I see that the site sells them (preconverted sd's) as well as the gold card device so i figured i might as well ask

soooooo ive been reading around... Say I have a gold card what could i do?
Gold cards turns security off (S-OFF) for htc phones. Which allows access to NAND memory without having to use clockwork recovery to flash to NAND.

Good question. All I know is attn1 said it doesn't work on the Aria. But if you think he missed something, go ahead and try it. ;P
Nah... I was just curious (lack of money keeps it a curiosity) as I had seen them on the Xtc site along with the Xtc gold card device.
So officially there is no known way to root the aria by soft/hardware?

I have so many apps I can't even use now either because of memory or root issues. I want my Cm7 back so bad.
