Should I root my phone first before upgrading to 2.2 or upgrade first then root?
If you're talking about the Over The Air (OTA) update that was announced, you should only upgrade with that if you don't want to root or customize anymore. For the moment, that OTA will take away root if you have it and you won't be able to get it back (for now).
If you're talking about upgrading to 2.2 using one of the ROMs posted here on XDA, then you need to root your phone in order to have the option to flash one of those onto your Aria.

Thanks that was very helpful! I'm going to root first them upgrade with one of the 2.2 ROMs here. I didn't know an OTA 2.2 update was out for the Aria already.
Well, it is and it isn't... it's available for non-branded Arias. AT&T hasn't released their version of the 2.2 update for the Aria, but when they do it will break your root access if you install it. At least temporarily. There's really no reason to use the official updates unless you need to return your Aria for some reason. Otherwise, you'll have more features using the custom ROMs here.
With the 2.2 upgrade for the Aria, were there any advancements on Adobe Flash?

No since this is an HTC Sense ROM, it still uses HTC Flash Lite just like the original ROM did. The Aria processor is not currently supported by Adobe Flash 10.x.
ok so I got a question. I have an ATT aria can I get the HTC 2.2 rom on my phone and then root my phone?
No, at the moment you can't. If you install the HTC OTA update you will lose root and be unable to get it back until one of the devs figures it out again. There are, however, plenty of Froyo ROMs to choose from, so you really don't need the HTC update to get 2.2.
Edit: Nevermind, looks like I spoke too soon. See this thread:

Thanks I have the Liberated rom on my phone right now. I'm just looking for a 2.2 Froyo that has the full bluetooth dialer support.

What's the best ROM out there right now? Which one would you recommend?

Currently, the two Froyo (Android 2.2) contenders for the Aria are CyanogenMod 6.1 and Liberated FR008.
Cyanogen offers a more unedited Android product with access to all sorts of settings and customization options. Liberated is more of a stock HTC Sense version of Android. Both ROMs are pretty much the creation of XDA member Attn1 who spends a ton of time developing for the Aria and here on the boards answerings questions.
The cool thing is that once you have rooted your Aria and installed Clockwork Mod Recovery, you can make a Nandroid back-up which will save your current setup along with all of your settings so that you can freely install these ROMs knowing that you can always safely return to your back-up if you don't like it. It's very... liberating!
Hello and sorry for the inconvenience. I'm new to rooting and updating my evo. I have 2.2 android version since i rooted my evo and i rooted it with unrevoked 3. Now i keep getting updates from my phone but cant install them because im rooted. I was wondering how can i update my evo to the latest android version which is 2. something and how can i also update the latest fota version that's 3.70.
I don't know if i need to install a new ROM or get the update online. Your help would be grateful and thanks in advance.
ok i have an idea i didnt do the update but got the rooted update of 2.3 on my phone
yet my girlfriend has to unroot her phone due to defective phone so she came back with it updated and so is it possible i can downgrade the firmware to 2.2 as if i was going to unroot it then place root then add the rooted 2.3 update from XDA?
if so please agree.
Much appreciated !
Someone who has one that has already flashed Z710a? Almost everyone has the Z710e and radio versions are not compatible and go if I lose the ability to have active 3G bands. I want the 2.3.4 update, now I have the 2.3.3 Bell Canada operator.
I want to debrand and newer update 2.3.4
Someone help me do all this? Thank you.
Just wait for your update from bell, it will come eventually.
Trying to compile a list of RUU's that are update with the new updates released. Any help is appreciated.
There's a list in a sticky over in the development subforum:

That is not up to date. i just bought the sensation 5 days ago. the most update for a tmous sensation 4g is 1.45.531.1 with 10.56.9038.00_10.14.9035.01_M Radio. I seem not to be able to find the stock RUU to unroot if needed and the stock kernel. All there is are stock rooted roms. take a look at the htc evo page. I had an evo and how the evo 4g section is set up is ideal.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs
As I understand it, the procedure to revert back to 1.45.531.1 is to apply any x.xx.531.x ROM, and then the OTA update will become available to update the phone to the most current 1.45.531.1 or whatever the latest OTA happens to be at that time...
I'm sure there are folks on here much more knowledgeable than I who will correct me if I'm wrong, but from the reading I've done, that would be the procedure in the absence of an actual up-to-date ROM file.
