I am having a heck of hard time loading the drivers for the Aria.

I do have USB debugging selected, and it shows up as an adb device in the device manager, but it will not load drivers.

I am running windows 7 64bit if that helps. If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Get a linux live cd, like ubuntu. Then you don't need drivers

EDIT:Upon reading this I sound like a ****. I didn't mean to be, just trying to helps.

I have it working on Win7 x64.

Have you installed the HTC Sync software? You don't need to run it, but need to install it so it can install the correct drivers for you.

I had the same issue I'm sure the problem is that you need the ADB drivers which is provided by HTC Sync..

Try installing HTC SYNC UPDATE FOR HTC ARIA™ (AT&T) (2.0.38) | 06.22.2010

I too am running windows x64 and it worked for me.

Anyone else completely unable to download the HTC Sync software for Aria? I've been trying to root this bad boy for a day and a half now, and just when I've got it narrowed down to no drivers, the HTC site seems to have completely forgotten what HTC Sync for Aria is. lol

-----Edit-----
The download LOOKS like it's available for the Aria, on the Aria downloads page. They ask for my serial number, verify it, and give me a download link. THe download link takes me to a generic download page, where the only version of Sync listed is 2.0.33. Anyone able to get it? Anyone able to host it for download? :)

Why edit the post again? lol

The new link is to the new version of HTC Sync. I can't post the link, because I'm a n00b, but this is the portion after the domain.

After you enter your serial number and the download link appears, don't left click it, right click it and choose save target as. That's how I got HTC sync. Now if I could just get the darn Aria rooted...

it is *really* simple using a Linux Boot CD, nothing to install and it just works almost immediately. Use the IRC #liberatedAria channel for help

here's a mirc command , just type or paste this into Status window

/server -m chat.freenode.net -i timtucker timtucker- [email protected] tim_tucker -j #liberatedAria

Apparently, they were working on a new version of Sync. On Friday, after I posted, I noticed a new version alongside the old. And the old link started working again. After many tries with the usb plug timing, I was able to root my aria. Thanx to all!

Linux Live CD

I know Ubuntu is much easier to get ADB running. But, I edited the file to add the Vendor ID:

Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
In the file, which leafpad created, I typed these two lines for the Kindle Fire 2:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”0x1949″,MODE=”0666″​
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”1949″,MODE=”0666″​

For HTC, the code is "0bb4"
So, use:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″,MODE=”0666″​

I saw 0x1949 in the windows .ini file, and most Linux VIDs were just four digits, so I did both...

Worked like a charm. There's a great tutorial for ADB on Ubuntu / Xubuntu
