This is for those of you that may need warranty work, exchanges whatever. It may or may not be an issue but im sure many of you have noticed that clockwork will pop up whenever the phone is powered off with a usb connection present. Which in most cases would be an immediate red flag for those of you needing work done. This will completely restore your phone and remove the clockwork recovery flash.
Update: I no long have an Aria to try this with but if you guys are running into issues try this as well.

I'd like to suggest that you update the first post to include a link with the last 2.1 RUU, seeing as the 2.2 RUU breaks the ability of future rooting (for now). I have uploaded what I believe is the updated RUU 09142010 to MegaUpload, linked below. Just thought this might help

1.) Download ATT Original Shipped ROM file from here:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
2.) Disconnect USB connection to phone.
3.) Power down phone
4.) Boot into Fastboot Menu (hold trackpad on start)
5.) Insert USB
6.) confirm that the phone shows "FASTBOOT USB"
7.) Run downloaded exe file
8.) Process will take a few min at the end you should have a 100% restored and unrooted phone.
It may seem self explanatory now but I was running into issues getting the HTC tool to communicate with the phone and it would fail whenever trying to send the phone into the bootloader. Thought I would just save you guys the headache.
thanks for your solution. was thinking about unrooting my phone and exchanging my aria for a samsung captative...
thanks man. doubt i'll do this, but i might need this just incase ATT and HTC actually come through with a stable update to froyo 2.2 within the next couple months.
I think it will be safe to assume that said 2.2 ROM will begin floating around in a rooted form not before too long, and will be flashable via recovery.
this is great info to have. great work.

install Android SDK USB drivers first
??
i think i did... i installed something from google called android-sdk. and when i connect my phone in bootloader i can see fastboot change to fastboot usb and my pc says driver successfully installed. but when i run the .exe file it never sees my phone. also htc sync wont connect and neither will droid explorer. thanks
i agree with bred, can't seem to restore the original rom. it doesn't recognize it during the process
I have tried this method on 2 computers and the exe can NEVER find my phone.
I have installed the SDK USB drivers, my computer sees the Android 1.0 device and sees it as the HTC booloader. And I see FASTBOOT and FASTBOOT USB when unplugged/plugged.
----UPDATE 2010-07-23----
After further research I was able to determine that even with the device NOT in FASTBOOT mode, that adb couldn't see it, so I thought it might be a driver issue.
I've gotten my computer to recognize the device when it's booted normally. But when put the device in FASTBOOT or the BOOTLOADER, adb can't recognize it and I can't get the recover exe to recognize the device, regardless of mode.
I have the latest clockwork recovery installed and I would like to get everything back to factory to exchange for a captivate.
theres no way to do a nandroid backup or anything like that? curious because i was going to take mine back tomorrow to exchange for the captivate as well. i bought mine from radioshack so i might try my luck and just return it rooted . i did the trade in program with them with my iphone and it was jailbroken and they still accepted it. i dont think i would try that with at&t though... worse comes to worse just return it and say it was like that when you got it! maybe an at&t employee messed around with it before you bought it. they cant prove it was you.
Can anyone confirm this works? Just in case. This might be something I will need to do quick fast and in a hurry in the morning. And I'm hoping that if it comes down to this I won't have any issues.

I have been thoroughly unsuccessful in getting this method to work.
I have tried it on 3 different computers and I can never get the HTC OriginalShipRom.exe to find my phone.
I have tried following the instructions to the letter, I have also tried plugging in while booting the phone into various menus (HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and regular booting), which was advice given to me in the IRC room.
I'm plugging the phone in right after I click "Next" on the "Plug your phone into the usb port" right as it shows the "Verifying data on your PDA" window. I have tried with the phone in HBOOT, FASTBOOT, and while booting the phone, none of these seem to work.
I've also tried it with just plugging the phone in and running the exe. Nothing seems to work. People in the IRC channel are claiming successful factory restores, but I can't seem to get it to work.
So can someone please update the first post with more thorough instructions? Because those instructions don't seem to work.
The following instructions came directly from the HTC webiste for restoring the original state of the phone.
1. Download and save the HTC Aria™ Original Software to your PC.
2. Power your device off.
3. Connect your device to your PC via the data USB cable.
4. On the device, press and hold the Volume Down and Power Button until you get the bootloader screen (a white screen with 3 Androids on the bottom).
5. Press the Power Button once to enter FastBoot mode.
6. Locate the HTC Aria™ Original Software that you downloaded and double-click on the file to launch the RUU Wizard.
7. Follow all of the RUU Wizard instructions shown on your PC.
8. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the RUU Wizard and the device will reboot.
9. Once the device reboots it will run through the Customization Process; this must be allowed to complete.
10. Once the Customization process is complete, the device is then ready for use.
I hope this helps. I haven't tried it yet, but would like to know if this works in case I need to do this as well.

My problem is with step 3. The second I plug my powered down Aria into the computer via USB, it powers on and goes directly into Clockwork.
If I boot the device into FASTBOOT, then plug it in, and then run the exe, it says it can't locate the device.
If you had flashed the unrevoked clock work you will not be able to plug your phone into the computer while its turned off. Your best bet is to boot into fastboot then plug in your phone. And try to do this under linux since there is no need for drivers.

Hi farquep, can you give me instruction on how to use linux what's the command line?? thanx
If you do it under linux, just download the file and run it like any other program in any other operating system. Although you will have to let the file run as an executable under permissions. I don't know if you need to install WINE which will emulate windows programs. There should be no need for terminal scripts.

Doesnt recognize my device at all. If I'm returning to insurance company, should I even bother taking off clockwork? I already have the replacement.
EDIT:
Update:
Just worked for me. I had to install aria_shipped_rooted_signed.zip first then HTCAriaOriginalShipROM.exe recognized the phone.

Cog 2.2 Beta 6 should be rooted already when you flash it, unless something changed. I dont see the need to use one click root.

Jimmy thanks for this, simple but very precise. The wiki seems to be written for somebody that already knows all the details. It's also not very clear as to whether or not you can go straight from eclair to cog2.2, you cleared it up for me so now I don't have to start a "sorry about the noobness" thread/post. I'm running cog 2.1.5 so I have done it before, even used odin once. Thanks again

That's an answer that belongs in some sort of guide for noobs haha
I appreciate the detailed instructions. A few details to be added. Odin is Windows only, and one click root does not copy the zip file successfully for me (on a Mac). I had to view the package contents of the program and drag the file over and rename it myself, then used the program to reboot into recovery (3 button didn't work for me either).

So does this mean I cant go from stock eclair to froyo with only Rom Manager and no use of ODIN (my phone never recognizes ODIN )
Actually, I think this is a good idea, might keep some of the junk out of the regular Cog thread, that thing is Frickin HUGE...

yes you go from stock eclair to froyo with only Rom Manage...
i did it on sunday night and today i see new cog 6 beta released!!!!
copy cog file to your sd card; install rom manager and continue from there, it will fail the first time (mostly) start phone again and reinstall package..done.
There's also one more thing the op didn't mention. If this is targeted at noobs, it really should be mentioned that if you follow these instructions, you are essentially wiping your entire phone clean (by the odin one click stock). If your that paranoid, go for it.
To me though, I just use titanium backup first, and back everything up. Then after upgrading to cog from eclair (directly without reverting to stock) you can restore your THIRD PARTY apps plus their data. (avoid restoring core apps as thats a bad idea) Not to mention no need to back up and restore any of the media you might have on the internal sd card. (not sure if odin one click stock touches that stuff or not)
I've had no problems in any of my ROM upgrades, and I've moved from 2.1 to cog 2.2 beta 2, then again today to cog 2.2 beta 6. All of that without a restore to stock. You really should only restore to stock if you are having problems AFTER upgrading. Why do extra work and wipe the whole thing clean if it's not necessary? Just adds steps, and possible frustration from people not expecting a wiped phone.
thank u man! rly!
Please verify that you are able to get into download mode using only button combinations before you start any flashing process.

You have to root to be able to flash it in the first place.
Do you mean that Odin won't recognize your phone? WHat happens when you try?
Let's see, where shall I begin?
Got my phone back from my girlfriend since she bought the Nexus 4. Battery was extremely swollen and because of that, the phone basically didn't work. Constantly restarting, couldn't use data, etc... Bought a new battery and decided that I would get a nice fresh ROM installed to get this thing running nice again. It has been on Valhalla for about a year now, and I tried to jump straight to the ICS milestone ROM that I saw in Development. Unfortunately, I didn't know of the new CWM that I was supposed to have, which results in a nice little brick. Frozen at the Boot screen. I was able to get it back into download mode with the volume buttons+cable method and luckily Odin recognized it. I installed a really old KD1 Rom that I had which appears to be all the way back to Froyo.
Now that you are up to speed, the phone boots up fine and seems to be working, but nothing in CWM works at all. Everything fails to mount, which means I can't flash any zips to get off this ROM. To top that off, Odin stopped recognizing it in download mode after I installed that other ROM.
It's been too long since I have been on this phone, and within a couple hours of messing with it again, I can see that I have obviously fallen behind on the development. Any suggestions as to what I should do next? My goal is the get it up to the newest ROMs and see how well it runs. I have the Basic with a twist kernel and ICS milestone ROM ready to go, but no way to flash them.
Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this.

Don't forget to flash bootloader's since you got into Froyo!
Unless you need to, don't flash back to Froyo. Always flash back to stock Gingerbread.
Once you do that flash a another one-click package to get a CWM recovery.

I didn't even realize it was a Froyo rom, to be honest. I would go and search for a Gingerbread Rom, but the "All roms/rooting/FAQS....." sticky in the development section has been updated in such a long time. I decided to take my chances on that one instead of looking through tons of threads. Froyo was the only one I had for Odin at the moment unfortunately, and Odin was all that I could use.
Thank you so much for the help! This phone should be up and running again in no time!
Don't forget to delete drivers! Odin and Heimdall don't play too well together!

Just the Samsung Drivers? I'll try to find them all.
Well, looks like the guide isn't going to work very well for me. I got all the way up to installing drivers with zadig. Heimdall opened automatically like I installed it before ( I may have, it has been forever), but zadig never did. I had to trick it into opening. Once it did open, my phone never shows up in the list of devices as a Samsung device. It only shows up as "Unknown device" and there are no drivers for it to install.
With the phone plugged in download mode, go into device manager delete all USB drivers, reboot pc. Next time you plug in the phone windows should prompt you to install drivers, don't. Use zadig.

Finally got around to working on my phone again. Unfortunately, I am unable to follow the guide how I was supposed to. Fortunately, on the other hand, it appears that I successfully got it to flash gingerbread.
Here were my steps to get it work if you want a laugh. My computer didn't like the procedure that the guide had.
1. Update Java, download file, place file into C drive, etc... Everything up to this point worked fine.
2. Open command prompt and execute command. (This is where it all went crazy)
3. Command says false. (instead of opening Zadig, my computer immediately opened Heimdall. So how do I install drivers?)
4. Went to Heimdall help menu and selected install, which froze heimdall completely. Upon Heimdall crashing, Zadig opens.
5. Open Zadig. All drivers are uninstalled, but my device can't be found in the list. (Right after here is where to told me to reboot.)
6. Reboot. Windows keeps automatically installing drivers and I can't do anything about it, so I just uninstall them and try again.
7. Same process. Command prompt, heimdall opens early, crash heimdall, open Zadig, SUCCESSFULLY install drivers.
8. Command prompt again, because that is my only way of getting heimdall open
9. Heimdall finds device, try to flash, but it fails.
10. Unplug phone, and plug in again. Heimdall finds it again.
11. Try to flash again, and success.
It was kind of a nightmare getting it to work, but it looks like it will fix it finally. Thanks for the help everyone!
Double-flashing with Heimdall seems fairly standard. When that happens, sometimes you don't actually have to unplug the phone again, just repeat the same flash-command and it should work the second time. If that doesn't work, reboot the phone, it should go to panic-download mode where it doesn't boot to launcher anymore, just shows the yellow exclamation mark screen, and there the flash should work.
Both my SGS4G and my wife's have done this since we first got them. Sometimes.
Okay so I've been at it for days and i mean like months.... when I first bought my 8 gb white Samsung galaxy tab 3 Kernel 3.4.5, android 4.1.2, model JZ054K.T210RUEAMK1 and all i have been running into is problems, like jittery display issues, or flickering display, I tried every method but none has worked but i finally found one and got it all working and running, First of all i would like to thank gr8nole for this method, and all who have helped him. So first let me explain the most easiest explanation for dummies like me, or noobs
Just and example video for visual learners http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XolmtyvS3Yk&feature=youtu.be, but you want to click on the files i suggested on the bottom lol not what he has on his screen xD
Must Have: KIES, make sure you have fully updated rom from samsung themself which can be found on kies when you plug it in and update firmware, which your android should be on 4.1.2 and version because that's what i have
1. First lets Get all the files we need, First go download SM-T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip at his xda post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433853, after you have download that you will a friend name odin, which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539 (With odin you only want to use v3.07) and nothing else , Last but not least you want this file from gr8ole android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip and save that to your sd card or ext while click on usb debugging or w.e you wanna store in on tablet
so you should have odin 3.07
T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip
android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip
2. Use the same method as g8nole and minor adjustments
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer (just do a google search to find it...version 3.07 will work fine). http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2189539
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program using admin rights which means right click run as admin. I recommend un-checking Auto Reboot. DO NOT CHECK RE-PARTITION LEAVE UNCHECKED YOU BEEN WARNED (which it already should be). See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them) which can be found here http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/.
7. Select "PDA" then choose the T210.CWM.6.0.4.5.recovery.tar.zip.
8. Hit "START"
9. Wait for device to restart. Which means wait til odin says OKAY in the white box and the Picture ask you to reset, When the download icon under download updates is full bar, and odin says reset!, just unplug it. then restart by holding the power button down, with vol up, and home, once the samsung picture shows, only hold the up vol button, recovery mode should now be on. Select install zip, and locate the android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip)navigate with the up down volume button and power button to select) file, whichever you placed in sd, or exsd,
10. When all is done reboot device, then it will update your android once you turn it on, Now the anoying part, It will be rooted but what google play won't connect?, easy fix , first lets just update all the binaries since its already rooted in supersu app,
Google Store Fix, now first you have to delete your some things, your apps wont dissapear or nothing as long as you dont uinstall them, go to settings<application manager<all<google play store<clear data/cache w.e<force stop<uninstall updates<it will then ask you it will be factory installed<yes, next step, delete your gmail account if you haven't done so, now go to your time settings (Date and Time) and change it to recent date whichever today is , then open play store and it will ask you to sign in again, blah blah google needs sign up and it should be up and running
ALL DONE, remember this is for people who have run into flicker display problems, which is caused by kernal issue with our model, but with stock rom itself we can universally root it through odin with just that simple method which took me like 3 mins lol to do
Grats guys! you have root and cwm now who doesn't want that enjoy and thanks to developers hard work! and my ambition!
this worked for my SM-T210 also. Thanks heaps for this how-to!
Ok my device is already rooted but I would like to install CWM Recovery on it. So I can make a backup. Or does anyone have the stock kernel for it

SM-T2105?
Hello,
I came here beacause of a shorcut link given by @gr8nole and another member (I forgot sorry).
But my English must be to bad, i read and re-read, still don't find the answer...
I have the G Tab 3 kids model, SM-T2105.
@bierma32 says: "Important is that you flash always the newest CWM / TWRP or PhilzTouch Version"
Could you tell me wich one is the best, CMW or TWRP, plz? (the last I can find for T210 is CMW-6.0.4.9 and/or TWRP-2.8.2.0)
More important, do you know where I can find the zip of a rooted stock rom, including that 'kids' stuff? (SM-T2105). Or will I not loose the stock rom? Is there no wipe? Sorry, I don't understand.
I want to root, because of lack of space, and the rest.. but I don't want to loose that..
And the most important, "last but not least", I could not find the zip " android-armeabi-universal-root-signed.zip", so can you help me please, putting a mirror or so? Or could it work only with flashing a SuperSU zip? Not so easy, right?
As you maybe can read, I am a newbie in Android rooting. Or is there another way to do?
Thanks for reply.
This is my first ever use of any forum. So plz sry if i am posting this thread in the wrong place/discussion!!
I had a samsung galaxy s duos(gt-s7562). i rooted it about 2-3 years back. a few days back i tried to edit my build.prop file using es file explorer. It did work but after my work was done i made the mistake of copy-pasting the backed up file.(i had made a general copy-type backup of the file.) When i tried to reboot my phone it got stuck at the samsung screen.(maybe a bootloop.)
I can go to the recovery mode by pressing volume, home and power button. But it is the android system recovery. No cwm.
How can i get it back to life??!!
I have another s duos phone which i am currently using to write this thread. I thought of rooting this phone and then using its nandroid backup to restore my first phone. But as told, there is no custom recovery on that. And usb debugging is also off.
Can i use odin to install cwm recovery on my phone withou usb dedebugging. And is there any other easier method to recover my soft bricked phone.
Please help.

This is my first ever use of any forum. So plz sry if i am posting this thread in the wrong place/discussion!!
I had a samsung galaxy s duos(gt-s7562). i rooted it about 2-3 years back. a few days back i tried to edit my build.prop file using es file explorer. It did work but after my work was done i made the mistake of copy-pasting the backed up file.(i had made a general copy-type backup of the file.) When i tried to reboot my phone it got stuck at the samsung screen.(maybe a bootloop.)
