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!
Just wanted to know since I'm coming over from the G2 and I want to go ahead and root the phone. Just got it today out of the box, do I need to downgrade anything before I follow the root instructions? The tutorial I found isn't very clear on that and I dont want to end up messing the phone up already.
If this helps you answer my question I've got.
Android Ver 2.3.4
HTC SENSE 3.0
no you don't need to downgrade anything
Thanks a lot bro.
I had a g2 plus 3 replacements rooted everyone trust me this is way easier. Plus no downgrade required. Just rooted my 4g slide
Nope. Our phone is pretty easy to s-off and root.
click my sig for extra help if you need it. From s-off to roming and everything inbetween!
Hi guys, i have an HTC Sensation XE that has just updated to ICS 4.03.
The phone is a UK version unlocked unbranded never been rooted.
Im having some problems with ICS apps not working,some freezing etc.
Is there anyway i can go back to android 2.3.5 as this was stable for me ?
If you're S-ON then at this time you can't go back. That might change soon, though
Apps not working in ICS is a problem for the dev to sort out so get in touch with them to update the app(s) in question

I am having the same problem but i have S-OFF, could you tell me what i need to do to get back?
Cheers
If i was to make the phone s-off does it affect the warranty and how easy is it to do ? Cheers.
Technically it voids your warranty but it is reversible. However, you currently can't S-OFF the 1.27 HBOOT
To mimicuk - you need to first flash the lower FW and then go back to a GB-based ROM
Damn that's not good hope there is either updates or a solution to s-off or the Samsung S3 will be on the cards when its released.
I have a rooted HTC Amaze with s-on and unlocked bootloader. Yesterday I tried to flash Android Revolution so I can have an ICS rom. I couldn't use my phone for almost an entire day until I finally figured out how to get back onto bulletless around 2am.
I want to upgrade to ICS but I have no clue what to do, I have read many many threads about what to do but nothing is really clear to me.
I might be asking something really obvious to some people but I am eff'd if I can't use my phone and I just need a little help from someone who can tell exactly what to do, thanks everyone.
HTC AMAZE
Originally Telus, unlocked for WIND now.
version 2.3.4
Bulletless V2.4.1
Sense 3.0
no help????
Since AT&T is going to take an arm and a leg and a body to release Jelly bean I am looking to see about rooting my device. I have rooted devices before(GS2, Skyrocket) but never an HTC device. I a wondering what the best method is.
My HBOOt is 1.14.002 and Locked is also shown. I have the update I think from Jun 11 2012.
What would be the best way to get into rooting the device and flashing it.
~Thanks!

Do the x factor exploit than go unlock your bootloader at HTC dev.com than flash a Rom than do s off
Is there a way to change your CID back to default or will it always be stuck at 1111111? And is there anyway to go back with this at all or no?
