Ok i found it in one of attn1's posts. It wants to download as a text file but if you "download as" and rename it recovery.img, the md5 sum matches. Flashed via fastboot and working great.

Hopefully this one make nandroids quicker than 4.0.0.5...

Edit: Wow, much faster! Would still like to see the progress on each actual file like in the older CWM, instead of just "data" "system" etc.

    If you have another hboot, you are SOL without upgrading to hboot 1.02.0000

    For windows users using CM7:

    Note 1: This is assuming you already have the SDK installed and know how to use ADB, that you have CM7 installed.

    Prerequisites:
    - USBDeview - http://download.cnet.com/USBDeview/3000-2094_4-10614190.html
    - HTC Sync - http://www.htc.com/www/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1073&news_id=907

    - HTC Aria 2.2 - http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/HTC_aria/HTC_Aria_for_ATT_Android_2.2_ROM_Update.exe
    alpharevx - http://alpharev.nl/x/beta/

    1. Download all of the items listed above.
    1a. Make a NANDROID backup!!!
    2. USBDeview...delete (uninstall) all HTC related drivers.
    3. Install HTC Sync
    4. Plug phone in and allow windows to install the drivers.
    5. Boot into fastboot (while powered down, press and HOLD trackball button and power button).
    6. plug phone in to computer and run the HTC Aria for ATT Android 2.2 ROM Update (2.2 RUU).
    7. Once you get 2.2 installed, and booted into the ROM, run the alpharevx executable.
    8. It should notice your phone right away (make sure USB Debugging is enabled!!) and do it's thing, and then ask you for your beta key (get it from website, with your serial number) and then it will reboot a couple times and you're good to go.
    9. Once you've got your S-OFF, boot into the ROM.
    10. Place fastboot.exe and clockwork2501.zip into the folder where alpharevx.exe is (if you don't do this, you'll get an error about a missing .DLL (which happens to be included in the alpharevx download)).
    11a. Open up command prompt and change directory ("cd") to your tools folder for Android SDK. Run the first command under step 12 (adb reboot bootloader)
    11b. Open up command prompt and change directory ("cd") to wherever your fastboot.exe is (i.e. cd c:\users\username\desktop\alpharevx). Now run the rest of the commands under step 12.
    12. Run the following commands:
    Code:
    adb reboot bootloader
    fastboot erase cache
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    fastboot flash zip clockwork2501.zip
    fastboot reboot
    12a. After "fastboot oem rebootRUU" your phone will be stuck at an HTC screen. This is when you should type the next command.
    13. You should now be able to get into clockwork and restore your nandroid.
    14. Boot into your CM7 and enjoy your S-OFF :)

    This is going off of sheer memory but I am pretty sure it's exactly how i did it. If I have missed any steps or said anything wrong, someone feel free to correct me. If you have any questions, as always, feel free to ask.

    Again, enjoy :)

    +1 to alpharev team and whomever else made this possible!

    I already have Android Version: 2.3.4 CM7 nightly 117. Why would I downgrade?

    AlpharevX won't work on CM7, but you can back up your cm7 setup, then restore it when you are done.

    If you don't think you need S-OFF, then you don't.

    or try this...
    "I'm a total noob at rooting and stuff, but after spending the last few hours trying, I found another way to do it. Download the Clockworkmod file, as posted, and download the file mentioned under the "To root" section; put this second file onto your sd card. I just transferred it using Windows.

    Extract the recovery file somewhere you'll remember it. (I used Downloads.) Now, go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=794638 and download Android Flasher. (Make sure your Aria is hooked to your computer.) Run Android Flasher, and select "Recovery". (It's one of the options on the left side). Navigate to the location of your recovery.img, and select it. The phone should switch itself to fastboot, then install clockworkmod. It then goes right into clockworkmod, and you can follow the steps listed to install the root.

    Once I found the thread on Android Flasher, I had clockworkmod and root within about 90 seconds. Just downloaded and installed Titanium Backup, and it asked for superuser rights, which I granted, so it seems to be working for me.

    I hope this is clear enough; I'm a bit tired right now. It was an easy process....after my three hours of trying command lines and stuff. Sigh."CREDIT to MADMATHIGAN
