What does it take to root a HTC Aria ?

Ok, so I have a copy of unrevoked 3, and the custom rom to install. how big an ordeal is it to root this phone. I have used blackberry for the last 4 years, and just got this Aria. Running unapproved software on the blackberries was not a problem for me, but I am a little concerned about rooting this phone to try to run 2.2, and get rid of all the restrictions that AT&T have put on it (like no apps except from the market, or deleting crap AT&T put on it that I don't want or need).
Do I need to run the unrevoked on a linux based system, or have there been success running on Windows 7? Do I need to use a blank microSD card when doing this?
Just new to the whole Android thing, and don't really want to brick my new phone.
Thanks in advance.

Anybody? Please help....

See the aria forum. There are several posts on rooting the aria, and you'll also find a link to an irc chanel where you can get help if you're having trouble (sorry, too lazy to find a link).

Need some help with Rooting my new EVO

Hi,
I am a newb to the android os, and I am wanting to root my phone. I would like to run custom ROMS, and update to the froyo version of Android. I found simple root, and tried it but the root failed in the flash hack step. Any ideas, I am really excited to learn, but have virtually no experience with programming so I am learning this all from scratch...

Rooted phone, now 4G will not connect...shiet
Help... I have just rooted my EVO. Used simple root, didn't work the first time--tried again and was successful. Now I cannot connect to 4G network. I never had any problems connecting before. Anybody else have this problem after rooting their phone.

THink your asking in the wrong forum bud, Go to the appropiate one for info and help.

gotcha thanks

[Q] where is the worlds easiest way to root and update a MyTouch to Froyo??

Im just getting extremely frustrated with the 6 or 7 something tutorials i have gone through to get my Mytouch 3G Slide rooted and put Froyo onto it just leads to things not doing what they say they should be, or all the files needed will not download, or whatever. Im at the point of just giving up totally now and this is my last ditch effort to see if there is an actual easy and working method out there that someone can recommend. Anything?

Try z4root, it's supposed to have 100% device compatibility. Also, unrEVOked is a great method for HTC, but you have to have the adb drivers for htc with unrEVOked. (they come with the android sdk)

I used z4 root before it was taken off the market! Worked flawless!

I have been in the same boat with the froyo download!! Frustrating when all you read about is how great it is and how easy it was to download! I can even get mini_kies to complete downloading without getting a error message!

[Q] LG C710h(Shine Plus?)

Hey everyone,
I need some help. I need some help with rooting and upgrading to Froyo on my girlfriend's LG C710h. There isn't a specific section of the forum for this phone so I thought I would post here. I was also hoping some one could help me with doing some data2ext on this phone as well. The internal storage this phone has is just weak and I was hoping I could fix that. None of these guides have to be for noobs as I have a rooted and hacked Desire. Thanks for your help

Scratch needing help rooting, I was able to successfully root the phone using z4root. But if someone could help me with Froyo and data2ext that would be great.

Update question
Hi there, having some troubles updating this phone -- says will not connect / sync to PC suite. It's my friend's phone and she's looked though all through the settings and can't find any way to change it, and with all my internet searching, neither can I (we're not together at the moment, she just called me and asked for help)
Can you help us out? How do we change this setting? Rookie question, I know

[Q] Need help with ICS

Hi everyone, I have a Nexus S from Best Buy on ATT. Right now I'm stuck with 2.3.4 (build gtj61). I'm very new at this but am trying to research how to upgrade to ICS. From what I can figure I can either Flash the full rom to 2.3.6 and wait for the update to hit, or I can fastboot an image to 2.3.6 or 4.0.4.
What I need to know is which option would be easier for a noob and can you help me find a guide to complete the process. So far the best thing I have found is the guide on android addicted.
Even though it may seem pretty comprehensive to some of you, to a complete noob like myself it is very confusing. For example when it says to download the Android usb / adb driver it doesn't really say what to do with it. And the very next step it shows 2 files that it didn't tell me to dl and basically loses me.
Can anyone tell me what is the easiest way to go about this and what exactly I need to do.
Thanks
Dan

No need to keep repeating the four letter word (noob). We've all been there before. My suggestion to you is of course the safest route for any beginner: find the OTA update.zip for 2.3.6 and wait for the phone to prompt you for the ICS update. And while you're enjoying your stock ICS experience, start reading up on bootloader unlocking, rooting and using custom kernel and ROMs so you can make full use of your Google phone.
Hope this helps! Cheers!

I got mine back from repair today, and of course, they replaced the perfectly working 4.0.4 with a 2.3.6. The phone automatically started downloading the update a mere minute after booting, so what I'm stumped on is why yours didn't automagically update itself right away.
Maybe you could force an update check by typing *#*#2432546#*#* into the dialer, then checking the System Updates point inside About Phone.
Unlocking and flashing custom ROMs can be fraught with problems, and are not exactly for the faint of heart, given that there is no one-click executable to flash new ROMs like there was for Windows Mobile (my old phone was/is an HTC Universal, running Windows Mobile 6.5. A real fossil...). There are many guides on the forum, most of them stickied, be sure to chew through them, make backups, and pray to your chosen deity when you start typing in ADB

drivers are a HUGE pain. If you do this while running a linux distro (I run ubuntu) you don't need drivers. they are native with linux.
Anyways Linux is great and you should stop using winblows.
welcome!

You could always follow the steps in this thread;

I used the same Method for My GT-I9020T (T-Mobile)
I was on 2.3.6. A month after my wifes phone got the OTA to 4.0.4 I still was on 2.3.6.
I followed the steps in the thread above and did the Up-Grade Myself.
No rooting, No Boot loader un-locking, From stock recovery.
Worked perfectly for me.
Read through that thread above to see what other AT&T users said about this.
Also his XDA threads are no longer being updated so after reading through the posts, go to his new place here:
