If you are s-off you don't need any special procedures. Just download > install > run VISIONary.apk (r14)

Just checking
And try to perm root ?

Untouched stock froyo 2.2 Asia OTA ROM

This is an incremental rom for ASIA HTC aria, do not install it for another models!
http://rapidshare.com/files/4381358...hTC_Asia_TW_2.37.709.4-1.35.709.3_release.zip
just updated my wife's aria to froyo. lost all the custom recovery stuff but still.
Here is the official OTA zip from the phone.
you can flash it in clockwork recovery by toggling the signature setting (you will lose clockwork though, you have been warned)
also do anyone know how to get rid of the superuser 'ninja' icon once you flashed this?
enjoy
looks like I need root permission to remove that superuser thing, should have done that before upgrading...
If this contains the new hboot, I highly recommend not flashing it.
Edit: it does - do NOT flash this if you ever want root.
Bad idea.

yes its un-modified from HTC. will just have to wait for a new root
one thing I dont quite get is how come this rom is so small (80MB) compare to all the other roms
Is it an incremental update or a full rom?
can anyone shed some light?

Well until a new method is developed, it's beyond foolish to flash this incremental update over a rom it was never intended for.

Yes, it's an incremental update to the Hong Kong ROM that should not be flashed over any other rom.
As OP, you can edit this thread with a warning - please. This is not a complete rom, and because it was not intended for the AT&T ROM or any other than the HK ROM, some of the patches may not be executed correctly. If you start to experience some funkiness, I can probably get your phone flashed to the Gratia leak ROM, but as of now there is no going back to stock.

if you have the HK phone, with a goldcard you could probably flash your original shipping RUU. It's on shipped-roms.com.
That should return the phone to stock, without superuser icons. Let me know what HBOOT you have on it at that point. In any event, after that you should be able to flash the ota again after that, going to a stock 2.2 HK setup. You won't have root, and you won't be able to do custom recovery.
Please let me know if you can downgrade that phone with the this RUU and a goldcard. You will need root access, so if SU does not work anymore, then you will need to use Visionary for temp root.

Goldcard procedure below:
(procedure from BLAyo)
BlaY0 said:
Here are few easy steps on how to make Goldcard without taking it out of your phone but you have to be root (VISIONary temproot is fine).
You will be doing this from command prompt:
Code:
adb shell
su
First you need to find out sdcard's CID:
Code:
cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:*/cid
...copy it into text box on http://hexrev.soaa.me/. Now go to http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard and put in the reversed CID you have got on previous web page. Push goldcard.img to your phone via 2nd command prompt:
Code:
adb push goldcard.img /data/local/
...unmount sdcard via Settings, go back to 1st command prompt and make a backup then make goldcard:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 count=1 of=/data/local/sdcard_backup.img
cat /data/local/goldcard.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0
sync
exit
You may also pull that backup to your PC:
Code:
adb pull /data/local/sdcard_backup.img .

I think temproot alone is enough to remove that superuser icon? Just need the permission to remove that apk

Yes, that should work. The long way may provide you with a full downgrade/root path.
someone in the forum I visit reported that he used Visionary to gain temp root, then downgraded the phone (by modifying misc partition, I guess) and installed 2.1 RUU. But HBOOT didn't be downgraded. Its version is still 1.0, can't be rooted.

you have to be rooted to have su and the popup working... And I'm pretty sure you just de-rooted the phone, and installed an hboot that no one knows how to root yet.
Hopefully no one else does the same.
I used visionary which is suppose to grant me temporary su. check previous post please

[Q] s-off no root

Ok I used bubby's simple one click root I got s-off but my phone didn't take the root any help would be greatly appreciated thank you
check in your app folder if you have super user you are in fact rooted....if for some reason it was not installed go into a terminal emulator and type in "su" and you should get a superuser request and that would confirm you are rooted if it works...
Do you have clockwork recovery?

If you have s-Off then you can try re-flashing the rooted stock PD98IMG.zip from bubby's package. It's extracted into a temp dir on your computer when you run bubbys tool.
I'd guess it gets deleted once you close bubbys tool, as its only extracted temporarily for use by the tool, so you may have to start up the tool to get it to extract it, then find it before closing the tool again.
Once you find that PD98IMG.zip, put it on your SD card and reflash it that way.
Yeah I have superuser but it fc's on me and I have clockwork it's got me stumped maybe I'll try and reroot it again

If you're S-OFF and you've got clockwork, then you're pretty much as rooted as you need to be. Just install a custom ROM of your choice through clockwork. Any of the popular ones from the DEV thread should be properly configured for su, etc.

This problem has been encountered before, I believe. I forget the specifics of the fix, I think it's in bubbys thread somewhere, but it has to do with clearing data/cache for the superuser app and/or redownloading superuser from the market.
Check the thread for the exact details. May even be in the FAQ for bubbys tool (linked in post #1 of that thread).

You'll need to format your SD card to fat32 in order for bootloader to recognize the zip.
You don't flash it via recovery.
Read the directions exactly you have to rename it to some weird name like "pg10mc" or something (its the device model) and put it on root of sd card and update it in bootloader
Its not hard at all just read all the directions

Oh ok well then it should be pretty simple.
I used the 2.2 ruu once and never used the 2.3
Why do you want to go to stock?
Just wondering because if you go to 2.3 stock and want to root later you can't
I seem to be having issues using this method. It states first thing the link that the device must be in S-Off and must be Rooted for this to work. After the OTA 2.3.3 update my device lost root and went back to S-ON.
HBOOT seems to load and check the file but I never get the option to press VOL Up to update. Has anyone experienced this before?

If you took the update this will not work because of the updated hboot. I believe the original poster was rooted with s-off.
So then if I was able to find a RUU that is stock 2.2 with S-ON then it should work?
I do not mind re rooting once I am back on 2.2 before I upgrade to cyanogen 7

If your running the official update from HTC ( Gingerbread 2.3.3 s-off) there is no way to revert back to froyo. This has been discussed several times over. As of right now all you can do is temp root and wait for perma root to be found.

[Q] a noob question (about root,framework)

Hello.Some of you may remember me from htc diamond thread.I was an old user of that phone,then i went to iphone and now i'm testing android (and i'm very pleased until now)...
Now,my question,I bought htc desire S,downloaded Andexplorer and i copied framework-res.apk from system/framework to sd card,then to pc and i put my icons for battery percentage.Now i try to copy it back to system/framework and a message pop-ups and says "cannot paste framework-res.apk from clipboard"...do i have to unlock my root or something?
ps: i've searched but didn't find anything helpful
thanks in advance
You can use root explorer and click on the R/W icon
If no you can push the files with android sdk doing before
adb remount
adb push file /system/framework
i used root explorer and a message told me that i have to root my phone :/
i have downloaded android sdk,but i don't think it will allow me to paste framework-res.apk if i haven't rooted my phone first
I dont think you can change framework at all if you dont root
yeah i know.I'm trying to find an easy way to root my phone
give us some info about phone...what is hboot version,radio etc etc...then we can find way to help u
my HBoot is 0.98.0000..i have tried with alpharev X,but i don't know why it didn't S-off

then there is a way you can flash a prerooted rom like LBC mod to get root & also recover from your current problem
but im not exactly sure how to do that
good news : i fixed it.For those who have the same problem-> i downloaded and copied to sd card (through a minisd reader) this program clockworkmod recovery,then i installed it on my phone..Last i downloaded a different ROM and installed it through this program (i am a s-off user)
Bad news: i really need the original ROM,where can i find it?

i want to know if you know ... i upgraded to 4.0.3 by flashing the entire rom and kernal at the same time with Heimdall!
Heimdall has terrible support now(mac user here ) Anyway my phone never boots when i try to root it ... i tried the oneclick root - the doomlord ZergRush which i think is only for 2.3.6 roms - trying to get cwm on root permission - and flashing Kernals stops my phone booting - and one click methods just don't do anything when they complete!
So i tried ALL rooting methods and none work!
Should i go back to 2.3.6 and try doing it again from there?
Then i can upgrade once i'm rooted?
Or do i upgrade and then root again?
i'm so confused ....
At least i got my WIFI back by clearing out my cashe (but now with this i think i just give up since my phone works and battery is good)
But can i flash a complete 2.3.6 rom all in one go ?
Then what do i do from there?
THanks
