[Q] Unrevoked doesn't work for me!

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.

[Q] Debranding or roothing HTC s510e

I am in China and I bought an HTC s510e last week, that was made in Taiwan.
When I look at the boot menu screen, is says my phone is locked, although when I put a SIM card from another country in there it doesn't ask me for an unlock code. Perhaps the phone is locked to China?
Now my main problem is that there is constantly all kinds of Chinese software being installed on my phone without my knowing, and there seems to be no way of uninstalling most of it, and what I can uninstall, gets installed again soon after.
I am thinking the solution might be debranding the phone, or rooting the phone.
However, I can't figure out which ROM to put on there that won't brick the phone and that will still allow me to read and write Chinese (using pinyin). The menus should be in English of course.
Some information on the phone:
HTC s510e
Android version 2.3.5
HTC Sense version 3.0

I kind of know next to nothing about the subject, would be very grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks

i hope any one help you

correction
This is a correction to my previous post
On my boot screen, where is says HBOOT-2.00.002 I should have written HBOOT-2.00.0002, don't know if this makes any difference.

I have tried rooting my phone using SuperOneClick. The phone is rooted, or so it says, but SuperUser can't get any superuser privileges. Unrooting doesn't work, the program freezes.
No BusyBox on the phone yet, tried installing it, but can't because SuperUser doesn't have the necessary privileges.
Installed ROM Manager, flashed a ROM recovery image with it, but that's about all I can do with the RM, doesn't want to back up my ROM, doesn't boot into recovery.
I can boot into recovery manually after shutting down the phone, but once in recovery....I get a red triangle and have to take my battery out and reinsert it to get the phone working again.
I tried unlocking the bootloader through the htcDev center, but I first have to update something on my phone, I chose a couple of possibilities in their list provided but nothing worked, couldn't update. (By the way, I can't update the ROM on my phone either, for some reason I get an error message. Perhaps because my phone is not set to receive OTA updates?)
As you guys can see....I don't know where to start or what to do, nothing seems to have any effect. Already happy nothing of what I did bricked the thing.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. How to unlock the bootloader? How to root properly?
Thanks in advance.

Okay, here is how I did it.
I ran SuperOneClick a few more times, it got rid of the useless Superuser application, but still said my phone was rooted.
I unlocked my bootloader through the HTCDev website. It asked me to first update my bootloader, I skipped the step since that didn't work. Now my bootloader is unlocked no problem.
In stead of trying to root my phone any further (it said it was rooted but didn't seem to be properly rooted), I downloaded the AndroidSDK, got into my phone with adb shell command.
Tricky part:
-the thing wouldn't let me remove any file, giving me read-only error
-also wouldn't let me change file permissions, same error
-solution: first give a adb root command, which will give you root privileges, then you give a adb remount command which makes all files read and write.
Next you can use adb shell, and from there follow the normal steps to remove files. At the end I left the shell and gave a adb reboot command, rebooting the phone.
I got rid of the most annoying junk on my phone. Wouldn't mind to find a way to have the thing properly rooted, but for now I'm happy with what I got.

[Q] having trouble getting S-Off on my Sensation

I have an HTC Sensation I bought online in China.
I've been trying to gain S-OFF with revolutionary-0.4pre4
I have installed all the drivers and tried it in sync mode, in debugging mode, uninstalled HTC sync on my PC and tried again and still no win.
I've been trying to read up on it but not having much luck. Some other people with v.1.52.708.3 were also having problems. Do I need to wait for a new version of Revolutionary or do I have another option?

after installing drivers on your pc try to reset your pc
then try to connect your phone, maybe this will help

I already tried that

Did you unlock bootloader first?
What your bootloader says on top? **locked** or **unlocked**?
If your bootloader is locked than unlock by HtcDev then try to s-off again.

Thanks, I didn't realize I had to unlock the bootloader first. For some reason the site is not working for me though. After I log in and select my phone the "begin ..." button doesn't do anything.

I use this site "[Exclusive] TacoRoot By Justin Case And Reid Holland: A New Temporary Root Exploit For All HTC Devices" as guide to using TacoRoot, since zerg root not work in "Unrevoked".
I ran along TacoRoot with Unrevoked or you can run unrevoked while TacoRoot. Because TacoRoot will only temporary root. Unrevoked will do the S-Off ing. But other's has different idea. But this work on mine. Oh, one more thing I thing TacoRoot only run well on GingerBread since it not work well on Ice Cream Sandwich when I try.

[Q] Unlocked Thunderbolt unable to root

I think I might have a bit of a unique problem.
I recently received a replacement HTC Thunderbolt.
I have managed to unlock it using the HTCDev tool.
I can't figure out how to root it.
I can't use the all in one tool because according to the creator of the tool:
"Oh wow, that is an unknown bootloader, which tells me you have a true test device
I don't think that there is anything you can do to downgrade that, but you can HTCDev unlock and root from there."
I pulled this info from a recent log
Phone is normally booted
RAW BBHERE "/system/bin/sh: /system/xbin/busybox: not found "
RAW HASBB "no"
Bootloader: 2.25.0000 Unknown
ADB rooted: No
ROM Version: 3.14.605.12 710RD - Android 4.0.3
Superuser: binary v/system/bin/sh
I've searched and searched and searched but I can't find a guide or walk through or info in general on how to root an unlocked thunderbolt that is running 4.0.3 (not to mention the unknown bootloader).
If I could get any help on this that would be awesome. My old Thunderbolt was rooted and running Thundershed 1.6. I can't stand the battery life on 4.0.3. I pulled the battery from my old phone and put it in the new phone. My battery life has gone from 12+ hours to under 4.
Thank's in advance.
