[BETA]S-OFF method for Aria on 2.2.2

[ls377]

[UPDATE: 6/18/2011] AlpharevX **OPEN BETA** for Liberty Hboot 1.02 - xda-developers

This is beta, so it might not be for everyone. If everything works out, this is very exciting for the Aria community.

Just ran it, worked for me.

 

[cgordon74]

I lied, it didn't work.

Anyone have instructions on how to run this root utility?

Thanks

The utility does not provide you with root. It only turns the HBOOT security off (S-OFF). Once you have S-OFF, you can follow these steps to flash a custom ROM, root your ROM and/or flash a custom ROM:

Yes, you can root the AT&T Froyo 2.2 update. You need to head over XDA Developers and search for the AlphaRevX software. This will turn the HBOOT security flag off (S-OFF) so that you can then install a custom recovery and root the phone. Alll of the instructions you need are there, just search for them.

* Steps :


1. Settings->Power->Uncheck Fastboot
2. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files.Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers ..
3. Reboot phone.
4. Settings->Applications->Development->Check USB Debugging
5. Run AlphaRevX and connect phone to PC in Charge Only mode
6. AlphaRevX should recognise your phone and show your Device Serial number, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX
7. Now type this out in the AlphaRevX page, the Key Generator appears only after you click the 'Download for Windows' link
8. Type out the key in the AlphaRevX software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter
9. AlphaRevX should start doing its thing and I got S-OFF at my first attempt in under 90 seconds
10. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry. Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries


*After a successfull S-OFF

for : fastboot wait device

power on ur phone pressing volume down + power button ..

run the neccessary commands on windows cmd prompt , when it shows wait for device

then click on fastboot on the phone's screen . here click is enabled by pressing the power button !!

* Make sure you have disabled your antivirus and firewall !!

On windows7 if UAC is enable make sure you right click and run it as administrator

 

[ediddy406]

ok i can do that all, except the first step
"settings>power..."

where is the power option?

That probably isn't applicable to the Aria. There are several HTC models that are supported and some of them have a 'FASTBOOT' option that needs to be disabled.

Hi,
I am noob too. I managed to get to the s-off part. I am lost after that. I have a froyo aria phone. All I am trying to do is install non-android market apps. HELP PLEASE!!
Thanks!

 

[Tuckerfan]

Okay, I've got S-off accomplished, but when I try to run fastboot on my Win7 PC, I get a brief flash of the cmd box on the screen, then it disappears. I've tried turning off my anti-virus and running the program as administrator, but no dice. What's going wrong and how do I fix it?

 

[erwaso]

After reading about this for so longi finally did it and put cm7 with g apps on my Aria.

Also because it's past it's warranty period lol.

Anyways, first time doing anything like this (rooting) and it went smoothly. Scary at first, but after a few bumps in forgetting which step i was on all is well. Took about an hour just cuz i wanted to be careful.

Now I'm gonna try to delete stock apps and free some space lol

 

[erwaso]

Also, alpharev is now Unrevoked

Hi all. So I am a bit late coming to the rooting party, but I think this is were I want to be posting.

I have the AT&T Aria with Android 2.2.2 running on it and have been in and out of forums trying to find the right process for me as I very new to this. So i guess I shall start from the beginning. I started at LifeHacker for articles on rooting which redirected me to The Unlockr article using unrevoked claiming it to be the easiest way to root. I gave it a shot and everything was going well until the end when it said it did not take as my software was too new, which I guess I should have figured beforehand.

So I check out the comments and sure enough i am not the only one and find the link to the Revolutionry beta by alpharev and unrevoked. I wanted to do a bit more searching before going for it and it led me both here and this thread at XDA: [Info] After Revolutionary: install Clockworkmod, root & more - xda-developers

I figured it seemed not too complicated. So I go ahead with it and managed to get as far as getting the S-OFF on my device and many failed attempts to get the recovery img on the other thread working, resulting many times my machine telling me it cannot find the AdbWinApi.dll.

Through out the thread many folks were having a variety of issues, including this one and others were having success. Many other folks have tried detailing what to do, but I am still not quite getting it. I was hoping since this thread and the xda one were similar, I may be able to get some help either continuing with the recovery img process or if anyone has any other process i should try.
Thanks

Edit: Made some more stupid checks and found out during some of the steps I was in fact being stupid. According to the steps in the XDA forums, I am rooted. But is there anywhere I can check that it will say it is rooted?

 

[Tuckerfan]

If you're rooted, there should be an app in your app drawer titled "Superuser." The icon will be of the android bug, wearing an eye patch.

 

[daboy]

Tried this but everytime I put in the beta key, it comes up invalid beta key??? I put in just what was given???
