Hello,
I've recently had ny Aria replaced by warranty but I need to send original back with CM7. I was able to load stock unroot ROM via CWR but when plugged in,l it'll show CWR. How can I get rid of it if I can't use PC to flash. Any help or links to help much appreciated.

My original post had a link to the ROM. I misread your message...the ROM isn't the problem. The bad microUSB is a problem. A rather big one, because without the ability to communicate with the PC, you can't wipe out the custom recovery image that includes Clockworkmod.

Take the stock unroot ROM.zip file and copy it to the root of your SD card then rename the file LIBEIMG.ZIP.
Next power off your phone. Press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button. This should boot you into HBOOT which should then find and flash the LIBEIMG.ZIP file and should restore the original HTC recovery.
I will try this thank you!

Was writing commands in ADB. Bricked the phone and now when I power it on I get the original boot screen then the screen shuts off and I get 5 quick vibrating pulses, then nothing.
Anybody got an idea on what I can do to fix this? Help would be much appreciated, and I'll also throw in 5 Scooby Snacks
Can you just put it into recovery mode, by taking out battery, then holding down volume up and power button, then flash a rom from zip on sd card.
Wont go into recovery. Screen pops up then cuts off and vibrated 5 times.
could you try flashing the original rooted rom.

I really don't know what i am doing I was just giving ideas. The PB00IMG.zip
I: Gaining root
An unlocked hboot will allows us to flash in a modified IMG ROM signed with test keys as supposed to requiring an official ROM from HTC. This will open us to be able to flash a modified recovery.
1. Download this file: PB00IMG.zip (md5: 63eacc5ede3b179f95dc22d8ef585f94)
2. Place PB00IMG.zip onto the root directory of your sdcard.
3. Power down your phone.
4. Hold Volume Down while you Power On. This should bring you to a screen saying "HBOOT" and some other stuff. Wait for it to load the image, and it will say Push Activate. Push the trackball button to continue. The process will take around 5-10 minutes. The first time your phone boots up it will take a lot longer than normal.

You'll have to find a way to put PB00IMG.zip onto your SD card. If you have a way to pull out your microSD card and plug it into something else, that you can mount on your computer, OR put it on another phone perhaps for a moment?
You need to get that PB00IMG.zip onto the base of it.
Can you start up your phone in Fastboot? (hold the Call button while you turn on the phone)?
Can you start up the phone in HBOOT? (necessary for this PB00IMG.zip thing) (hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the phone).
I was going to flash a ROM so I went into TWRP and wiped everything. Then I noticed I needed to update my radio. while still in recovery I I turned on usb toggle mode and sent the radio to my sd card. I rebooted into recover and it asked me to update my PG86IMG file so I said yes. I then had to press power to reboot, only problem is I have no ROM to boot to. and when I remove batter to get into recovery it's asking me if I want to update again. I hit no and the only other option I have is to hit power to reboot, but again there's nothing to boot to. My phone is stuck on splash screen.
How can I fix this?
Isnt there a IMG file that will put you back to stock ROM, recov and everything? I'd look for it in development.

but how would this work? I can't do anything but remove battery then go into recovery but when I go into recovery it's asking me to update my IMG file. I hit no, but there's no option to go back into recovery. the only option I have is to hit power to reboot which leaves me stuck on splash screen. How would I get any file on my phone?
Through the bootloader, you may need to use a card reader if one is available. That's probably the only way to get the img file onto your card at the moment.

Yeah... This happened to me once, I just took the SD out of my phone put it in an adapter and deleted the file using my pc.
Edit. The big guy on top of me already said that.....that doesn't sound right.. lol

You will need to use a SD reader like ^^^ said. Once you get it off, put a rom on there at the same time and flash.

Im not not a complete noob for as u can tell by my name, u can assume i have a rooted epic or not lol. But his phone is rooted and i have no idea where to get him a cwm bc i cant find rom manger the free version. All i want to do is put the redsurrection theme on for him befo i leave as a xmas present. And preferably a rom with great batt life. Thanks in advance.
Questions: Where do i get a cwm? Which rom for battery? Also is this rom compatible with the redsurrection theme?
Download this update.zip file to flash CWR.
Copy the update.zip to the INTERNAL SD (not the external SD Card).
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.
In this (the stock recovery menu) select 'Reinstall Packages'
Use volume to navigate + power to select.
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...

edit: Removed CWM Recovery since it only causes problems
This isn't a thread that is going to help you unlock your bootloader. This is what to do next, once you are unlocked. Downloads mentioned in this thread are attached. I really haven't seen a consolidated place to find this info. Hopefully this fixes that. I and nobody else are responsible for any bricks that might occur. (They shouldn't, as we aren't flashing anything "critical" to the system that can't be recovered)
How to install custom recovery.
There are 2 methods that currently work to install recovery. I will only discuss one because it is the easier one for noobs. If you know how to install it via fastboot, go ahead. You probably are above this thread knowledge wise.
Recovery Installation Method: The PH98IMG.zip
This method uses a file called PH98IMG.zip to install the custom recovery. This is the simplest and doesn't require knowledge of fastboot, adb, and doesn't need a computer.
1) Download the PH98IMGICSNEWOTA.zip of the recovery. Rename it to PH98IMG.zip
2) Connect your phone to your PC (if you downloaded the PH98IMG.zip directly from your phone's browser, use a file manager to duplicate these steps)
3) Enable USB Mass Storage (as if you wanted to copy a file to the memory card).
4) Copy the PH98IMG.zip to the root (not in any folders) of the external SD card. NOT the HTC Storage. This is extremely important. It should not be in ANY folders.
5) Disconnect the phone from the computer and shut the phone down.
6) Pull your phone's battery. It should not have the USB cable in it either.
7) Put the battery back in. Press and hold the volume down button and then press the power button. You should get taken to a white screen. This is HBOOT.
8) Some green text should scroll on the screen. At the bottom, it will prompt you if you would like to install the update. Press the button associated with YES. It is most likely volume up, but I cannot remember off the top of my head for sure.
9)When it finishes, it will ask you to press power to reboot. Do this. If you have no signal after booting, it is most likely because you forgot to put the battery door back on, as the antennas are in the door.
10) Delete the PH98IMG.zip from your memory card, or else you will not be able to get into recovery.
11) Custom recovery is installed.
How to access custom recovery.
1) Power down your phone and pull the battery. It should not be connected to a computer.
2) Press and hold volume down and power to get to HBOOT.
3) Use the volume buttons to scroll to recovery, then press the power button.
4) The HTC screen will flash briefly and you will be taken to recovery. You navigate with the power button and the volume buttons.
I highly recommend running a nandroid backup after this. This can be done in either recovery via the backup and restore sections. Google this if you don't know how. I figure most of you have used custom recovery before, so I won't go into it here.
Old Rooting Method(No longer works with ICS):
How to root (Permanently).
This rooting method again doesn't explicitly require a PC and is permanent until you actively remove it.
1) Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.

How to install custom recovery.
There are a couple things to consider here. First, you currently have your choice of 2 recoveries: ClockworkMod (CWM) or AmonRa. These two recoveries are very similar in function. I prefer CWM, but that is just me. We will use AmonRa in the rooting section of this post but you can ignore that for now.The installation for either of these is the same and there are 2 methods that currently work for both of them. I will only discuss one because it is the easier one for noobs. If you know how to install it via fastboot, go ahead. You probably are above this thread knowledge wise.

This method uses a file called PH98IMG.zip to install the custom recovery. This is the simplest and doesn't require knowledge of fastboot, adb, and doesn't need a computer.
1) Download the PH98IMG.zip of the recovery of your choice. I have them named with the type of recovery in front of it so you know which one to download. For example, CWMPH98IMG.zip is the PH98IMG.zip of CWM recovery. Just rename it to PH98IMG.zip
2) Connect your phone to your PC (if you downloaded the PH98IMG.zip directly from your phone's browser, use a file manager to duplicate these steps)

I have HTC STORAGE (L and Removable Disk (M. I put the PH98IMG.zip in M which I'm assuming is my SDcard. I dont know what I did wrong.

boot.img should work too. I think the zips don't work due to a difference in the android-info.txt. If bal1985 can install CWM then that is the issue. People have been able to install ziggy's kernel via the boot image I packed with a PH zip
Looks like we were having roughly the same thought at about the same time because your post didn't exist when I started mine
At least nobody should have problems getting up and running now between both our guides.

Just tried to install TWRP (Touch) from the wrong forum on top of my existing recovery, I guess (not really sure what I did; was watching NFL simultaneously.. DANG!). And now my phone won't get past the boot screen anymore...
My International Galaxy SIII is (was) unlocked and rooted; running the U.K. (O2) version of Android 4.1.2.
Retracing my steps, it seems like I tried to install the US/Verizon recovery image of TWRP on my i9300 by mistake. When I downloaded the image from GooManager, it offered to install the image right upon completion. And thinking that I was in the correct XDA-Dev Forum section, I confirmed... Bad Mistake. (Yes... I know, I'm an idiot...).
FWIW, I've been 'messing' with my Smartphones + multiple Tablets for 6+ years now, but I never managed to brick anything thus far. Bad 1st time, as I am about to move back to Europe (from the US).
Phone does not show on Laptop (under drives/devices) anymore. I do know about ADB and some basic commands (..enough to install ROMs, boot into Recovery, Bootloader etc.), but what can I do if I don't even get passed the boot screen? What's the command I need, and how can that get me back on track? -- Tried to shut down, use "the usual" power button/volume button combinations; even pulled SD card storage and SIM (as I had read that suggestion in the i-9000 Forum)... No dice.
I would kinda stink, but if I have to wipe my phone to make it work again, so be it... I have ROM Manager backups stored on my external SD card.
-- Any help & suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

P.S.: Since I wanted to get rid of ClockworkMod, I did not take a Nandroid BU first...of course

AWESOME... That did the trick!!!
Here's a quick step-by-step for getting your phone back to life via Download mode (my modest contribution to the community):
1. Pull battery
2. Put battery back in and go into download mode right away (pressing POWER + Volume DOWN + HOME button)
3. Confirm that you want to continue (Volume UP)
4. Connect phone to your PC
5. Download .tar file of whatever you want/need to flash
6. Fire up Odin
7. Leave all Odin settings as they are.. don't check/uncheck anything (!!).
8. Click "PDA" button and select .tar file with app or ROM you want to flash
9. Press "Start"... and -after a quick, automatic reboot of your phone- you should be back in business... [yay!]
Thanks, guys!
Great that it worked!
