I just rooted my OTA 2.2 EVO and now have a stock 2.2 root with hboot -0.76.2000
Im not too sure if I NAND unlocked but the guide i used didnt mention it, to run Cyanogen 6 i had to get 0.76 hbott like i did. Do I still need to NAND unlock to run the ROM? If so, how do I do such an act?

Hi, everyone. I tried to root the HTC Gratia/Aria.
On windows (NOOBZ: The EASY guide to rooting your Aria and Installing Attn1's ROM (Win XP/Vista)) the program remains on "Waiting for root" and if I reboot manualy it fails. So I have tried with linux: I used a bootable usb (Ubuntu LiveCD with ADB and Unrevoked Recovery installer(Guide)). Again no luck : the terminal says "Error: n = -1,errno = 19 (No such device)" and the program gives me "Internal error: failed to unlock nand flash".
Any Hint??How can I root the Gratia/Aria?
Thx for all,
Nando

There are a couple of things that may be coming into play here.
1. Is this really an HTC Gratia and is it running Android 2.2? If so then Unrevoked can not root this version at this time.
2. If by luck you actually have an Aria and it is still running Android 2.1, then you need to download and use Unrevoked 3.21. The most recent version of Unrevoked 3.31 has an issue with some Android 2.1 devices such as the Aria.
Ops...I have an HTC Gratia with Android 2.2...I'll be waiting for news.
Thx for all!
Is it just the HTC Aria (S31HT, by Emobile in Japan, running 2.2) that has a write protection on the system folder, or is this the issue with all HTC Aria models running 2.2?
Several Japanese pages contain comments that due to this fact this specific model might never be rootable.

It woiuld seem that any HTC Aria/Gratia that is shipped with 2.2 (or more specifically HBOOT 1.0) is not rootable at this point.
Yes the hboot is what is holding you up. The hole they used to root the older hboots has been plugged. So you are just going to have to wait.
I see. Thank you both for confirming that for me.
that's happening to me too
hi, my friend wants to root his aria but he's got the same NAND unlock problem..
his aria came with 2.1 and he then got the official upgrade to 2.2.
this thread suggests that the hboot is the problem but surely an upgrade to 2.2 wouldnt change the hboot?
pls help
EDIT: he seems to have hboot 1.02.000 which means that he won't be able to root?

yes the official upgrade to 2.2 WILL change the hboot so no, he cannot root.
Hi ,
I own Htc Desire with froyo 2.2 version sense
I wanted months now to root my device but I was afraid of losing warranty, but now I want to do it. But I have some questions
1.In all sites they talk about HBOOT 0.75 OR 0.83 my device have 0.93 version. would be able to do it with unrevoked method or it will crash?
2.Unrevoled methood what exactly does? It keeps the rom you already have but becomes rooted?
3. For being able to have another rom flashed i must do the S-OFF procedure no matter what?
4. In XDA-DEVELOPERS site I see some roms called PRE-ROOTED and ROOTED. What is the difference? and which of the 2 i should flash in my already rooted device?
5.If i decide to do unroot how i can manage to do that?
Sorry for all questions but i am newbie in android
Thank you in advance

You can manually upgrade your Inspire 4G to Gingerbread build 2.36 as it is the latest version that can be rooted. In another way, have you considered to use a custom rom? It offer the latest build 2.50 rooted and unlocked.

Could u plz tell me the difference btween the two ways
and how can i use a custom rom ?
and if i root the gingerbread , will that ables me to unlock the sim card?
Okay, I assume that your phone is fully unlocked (System S-Off, Radio S-Off, SuperCID, rooted). You can check it in bootloader (volume down + power while the phone is off) and see status like "PVT ENG S-OFF" and "CID11111111" which mean that it is fully unlocked. By having these in hand, you can always upgrade into any rom you want, including the official OTA update without losing sim unlock. But beware that you will lose root (superuser) access.
By using custom rom, you will able to maintain all of that, plus features and tweaks that aren't available in the official rom. But you have to dig deep in this forum, learn how to flash rom safely.
You can always revert to stock rom anytime you want, without losing the unlock feature.
p/s: like I said, dig deep, search and read all the guide (in stickies usually) and ask if you got stuck.

Hi all,
Can I still get OTA updates for ICS on my rooted sensation xe ? or should I have to unroot my phone to receive OTA updates ?
Thanks!
Also wondering this.
My phone is not yet rooted because I need to know - assuming the phone is rooted and unlocked - when updating from stock 2.3.3 to ICS (OTA) will this affect the rooting or being unlocked?
From what I've heard, you require an unrooted phone and a completely Stock ROM to successfully install the official updates from HTC. I may be wrong though.
You need a stock ROM, get this via flashing an RUU. I don't know the exact steps but there's been quite a few similar threads where others have outlined what you need to do.
