I just formatted my phone back to factory settings. I am in the process of installing all my apps again and just realized I purposely never updated my ROM Manager to the latest version because of the new permission is asks for (the one that lets ROM Manager use your account authentication information). So, is there any way for me to download an older version of ROM Manager?
Thanks!

+1.. then you can install older version if you dont like.. built in on ROM Manager..
Thanks for the suggestions but I have my reasons for having strict access control on my phone.
Is it because you are a Dark Agent?
Yes, you got me.
Is there no way to download older version of apps from Market?
^ why don't you just email koush man? I'm sure he would send you the .apk, and think you are crazy paranoid too.
Good suggestion.

I send him two polite emails about Rom Manager, and he never to the time to answer. A bit sad somewehere.
What do you use ROM manager for? Use the update.zip for root and to install recovery and then use recovery for all of your flashing. I only used ROM manager one time to install recovery

That is what I am trying to do, but cannot as it wont flash Clockwormod.Therefore cannot root. I cannot use abd as I am on mac OSX 10.4.I suppose that what you meant by the update zip.

GREAT, I AM ON JFD NOW - HOW DO I ROOT?
You are likely still connected to your PC and booted up to the T-Mobile jingle. Great, drop the notification bar down and mount your phone...
HERE ARE THE STEPS TO FOLLOW....
BUT FIRST... WHAT UPDATE.ZIP FILE DO YOU NEED?
There are two options here. Choose before you start.
A – an update.zip (633KB) that roots your phone only. You can then install Rom Manager from the Market to flash CWR (Clockwork Recovery) and install custom ROMs. There have been issues with CWR not flashing properly recently (June 2011), hence Option B.
B – use the other update.zip (1.7MB) and this will flash CWR for you – allowing you to immediately flash a custom ROM.. I do this because it's faster.
So, A or B?
1.
A: Download this update.zip file to root your phone. You plan to install Rom Manager to flash CWR and a new ROM later.
B: Download this update.zip file to flash CWR... you will need to flash a custom ROM for Root. I prefer this method.
Also, download the ROM you plan to flash (assuming you are not sticking on JFD – why would you).
LINK TO THE DEV SECTION
2. Copy the update.zip (and the ROM) to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card). sdcard/
3. Unplug the USB (assuming you are still connected after using ODIN)...
Hold down volume up + volume down + Power for about 9 seconds.
If you prefer, you can power off your phone, then hold in all 3 buttons to boot into recovery, I don't see the point in waiting for the phone to power off.
This will get you to a recovery menu (blue/purple text) after some yellow text.
4. In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
5. It will cycle a bit, you will see that yellow text again, then it will return to the stock recovery. Select Reinstall packages again.
You are now in CWR (clockwork recovery).
You can either reboot, flash your new ROM or make a backup now... I COVER HOW TO FLASH ROMS LATER – JUST KEEP READIN BELOW
Yeah, it is that easy!!

Give S15724N a thanks. The first update.zip will just root you. The second with boot you into CWR so that you can flash a custom ROM (all of which have root)
edit: here is the post so you can grab the files
So, over in the i9000 forum z4ziggy has been working on z4mod, it is similar to Voodoo, it completely replaces the file system with ext*.
Check out the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672
Currently our kernel only supports ext2, which is sad, but here is the patched kernel, apply it with odin in the PDA slot.
Download kernel (Froyo 2.2):
http://www.multiupload.com/N1OUL0ZYYN
Download Odin:
http://www.multiupload.com/KK1GOK9SYT
Next you will need to run this zip from rom manager, the patched kernel has a borked version of 2e recovery that doesnt let you select anything, so if it fails, you will need to reboot and try again with rom manager.
Download EXT2 zip:
http://www.sgscompilebox.dreamhosters.com/files/z4mod.ext2.update.zip
If you want to revert back for whatever reason, just use this.

Should mention somewhere that this is for 2.2 DG.
is the patched kernel for froyo? i can see that the patch will work on froyo or eclair but you posted a pre-patched kernel, or am i misunderstanding something?

I tried going into CW recovery and mine when it rebooted to go into recovery it errored out and i couldn't get back into the OS. I had to redo my ROM again just FYI. Not sure why it wouldn't load back.
Do you know why my CW wouldn't load DG? Not sure how to apply the fix if I can't get into CW recovery.

Yup, when I slap them with the trout their **** will splatter all over!!!
Apparently, if you've deleted Touchwiz and replaced it with LP, it won't work. Boots up pretty damn fast and the drop down menu has absolutely no lag!!! That's all I've been able to test ATM. Flashing back to stock, then back to Cog2.2B2.
is this going to give us any real world performance increases? and no.. I'm not going to run around posting screenshots. besides, with the years I spent on IRC, I've been trouted enough times to know it's SHTANKY!
OMG I GOT OVER 9000 IN QUADRANT WITH THIS FIX! OMGOMGOMGOMG!
**eyeroll** =P
I flashed the kernel with Odin then tried to apply the .zip with rom manager.
It failed. Now my phone keep on booting into the recovery screen...and i cant make it reboot regularly to try again.
Help?
omg i got the same problem!!! help!
I fixed it. I just flashed the PDA from my version of Cognition (v6). Now it rebooted into recovery, only this time it worked.
Successfully updated it, but it seems to have no Android Market app???? I installed my TiBu of Appbrain, but it says I can't download anything without having Android Market installed. Have an .apk for that DG? Or anyone for that matter? Other than that, it is pretty quick

Download recovery.
Reboot into recovery.
If it doesn't go into Clockwork (green screen) automatically, just in regular recovery, select reinstall packages. Should reboot into Clockwork.
Thanks, i think my problem was that i had never gone into clockwork mod recovery before. With the modified kernel it is impossible to reinstall packages. I flashed to cog 2.2 kernel then reinstalled packages. Then flashed back to modified kernel. Now it should work.
EDIT: Worked
is it possible to switch to another custom recovery after I already got clockworks?
I tried unrevoked but its stuck in the reboot (I believe its trying to root my aria again)
not sure what youre trying to do.... i believe Clockwork is the only Recovery for rooted phones. if you want to flash a custom ROM, well that is something else altogether. please be specific as to what you want to flash to the phone. include a link to the flash too
I was trying to flash psfreedom recovery rom from here
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I believe the method on that website was for unrooted arias without clockworks

To flash a different custom recovery on your Aria, you need to rename the zip file LIBEIMG.ZIP on the SD card and boot in HBOOT (Power on the phone by holding down VOL DOWN and the Power Button). When it boots to the HBOOT screen you should see text stating that it found LIBEIMG.ZIP and is installing it.
awesome. now before I go ahead, is there any clockworkx recovery image I can revert back to?

I'm curious, what recovery are you talking about?
thanks for including the link. the instructions are clear.... Root IS required, Clockwork recovery is recommended, the Freedom Aria flash appears to be a custom ROM.
once the phone is Rooted, boot into Recovery, make a Nandroid backup, and flash downloaded zip file from SD card.
if you need help Rooting, there is all sorts of good methods available on this site. I use the Unrevoked method myself, but it works best on Linux or Mac OS

hmm I think you are looking at the old method which is a custom rom
The new one is a custom recovery which brings me to the question as I dont think you can flash a custom recovery in the clockwork custom recovery.
its possible im looking at the wrong thing, but far as i can tell it states "Recovery Custom ROM" which is totally different from Custom Recovery ROM
From link posted above:
"Update can be installed in recovery mode in Psfreedom settings menu via Update (local) or Update (net) if you have configured your wifi connection. Put the file on your SDCARD and install it.

I have similar questions. I was trying to update my version of clockwork also using unrevoked again, but couldn't get it to work. I guess my questions are:
1. Is there any benefit in updating to a newer version of clockwork? My current version is 2.0.x.x and I believe the latest one is 2.5.0.4.
2. Will this same method work to do so? Can I rename the latest clockwork .zip file like this and get it updated?
I thought using the flash clockwork option in ROM Manager would do it, but it doesn't. If I reboot from ROM Manager it goes to the newer version, but if I reboot otherwise it goes to my original. The couple times I've used it, there appears to be maybe some different features/options in the newer one and I feel like I might be missing out on something!
What's the difference with this recovery?

These are probably two different things. once you got the recovery rom flashed you can upgrade it in recovery mode (hence its different from original clockwork recovery)
Ok bro, I didn't see much info about it so I'm gonna take your word for it.
@brswattt, far as I can tell this is " basically" used for jailbreaking the ps3.
@armyengineer;
you can use unrEVOked to flash the new recovery. if youre a Windows user, download the unrEVOked tool and run the .exe as Administrator. also make sure there are no conflicting s/w on the PC such as HTC Sync and you have all the drivers installed(HBoot, ADB drivers, etc.)

This still isn't working for me. Everything appears to go well at the start, then I get:
Waiting for root...(safe to restart if this doesn't work)
At which point the only way I can restart is to pull my battery. After doing so, it reboots and I get:
This was a triumph
It is not, however, any such thing. After another minute I get this:
Internal error: couldn't find misc.
So I've still got my original version of clockwork, 2.0.1.3, despite the fact that ROM Manager is telling me I have 2.5.0.1. I'm obviously missing something here.
BTW, if it matters I'm running CM 6.1.0

Although there is a ClockworkMod 2.5.0.4 version, I don't think it is for the Aria. According to ClockworkMod ROM Manager, 2.5.0.1 is the most current one for the Aria so I am believing what ROM Manager is telling me since it is written by the same the vendor.
I have tried CM 6.1.0
original HTC Aria 2.1 International Rom
and FR001 RC1
all no go. I think it has something to do with the phone already been rooted and has clockworks installed which makes unrevoked unhappy

OK, let's start from the beginning. You asked about installing an alternate recovery (PSFreedom recovery), but apparently it has its own installation procedure that needs to be run on an unrooted Aria.
What you need is to find just the PSFreedom recovery and copy it to your SD called in a file called LIBEIMG.ZIP and that is how you need to install it on a root phone that has ClockworkMod. Perhaps you need to go back to the PSFreedom thread and ask if a LIBEIMG.ZIP can be produced that can be flashed from HBOOT to replace ClockworkMod.
Looks like everything you need is located in the PSFreedom wiki:
http://psfreedom.com/wiki/HTC_Aria
I got a recovery.bin which is suppose to be used with unrevoked.
are you talking about the same one if I just compress it into a zip file?
I got the notice that my new Firmware was available, so I chose to just install it. I am rooted, and realize that would unroot the device, but I didn't much care. But when I hit install, the device rebooted and just hung on the triangle + exclamation point screen. So I rebooted the device, and I'm still on 3.1. Tried it twice more for same result.
Then I came here, saw that someone had already (can't believe how fast that happened) had a patched zip file to move to 3.2. I verified I still had root, downloaded that patch, and tried to install through CWM. Device reboots, but will not install.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Which recovery do you have? It sounds like you have a stock recovery, but need CWM to flash the modded 8656 zip file. Did you ever see the orange text of the menu screen?
if you changed your recovery the official update wont install. you have to wait for someone to post it rooted for cwm

Yeah, I have stock recovery. And no, I never saw any text.
Ok, so it sounds like you have 8.4.4.11 with the stock recovery.
I think you should flash CWM for 84411, then use that to flash Roach's upgrade. brk has a batch script that should be able to flash the right version of cwm, but I forget which option it is. I'm not sure if the version will matter, but it wouldn't hurt.

I've found three recoveries floating around on the forum so far. Two are in this thread -- one is in the first (1st) post under the "recovery" subtitle and the second is in the seventh (7th) post.
The other one is in this post. You have to download the Nexus_7_Restore_F.zip file and unzip it. Once you do that you will find a recovery.img file in it.
Hope one of these works. My bet is the last one will at the very least. Let us know how it turns out for you.
Thank you so much I'll let you know! Ah it looks like the stock kernel is in the last one too that's good..hopefully sometime soon we can get factory images to make things easier haha

I tried flashing all of the above. With the third one (contained within the Nexus_7_Restore_F.zip), when I reboot to recovery, I get the Android with the red exclamation mark, no go. So I manually flashed TWRP back. It seems that until we get an official factory image from Google (if ever), we're stuck on TWRP. Unless there's something I haven't considered.

Unless I'm mistaken the Android with a red exclamation is what you should see if you have the stock recovery installed...which means it was successful. At that point there is some combination of buttons that must be pressed to restore the recovery but I don't remember what it is (I think it might be Vol up + Power but I don't know for certain so I wouldn't try that until someone else confirms it).
