Hi guys
I was wondering if my Aria (it's an Asian one) could be upgraded to the froyo rom that is used by AT&T?
I don't really want to use the custom roms for fear of warranty issues/breaking the phone (it's a friend's) and like.
Thanks in advance.

You might be able to install the AT&T version if you use a goldcard. It will also depend on which HBOOT version is installed on the Aria. If it is HBOOT version 1.0x, then you probably won't be able to.
From what I've gathered, you should be able to use any Liberty RUU on any Liberty phone with a gold card. The HBOOT version doesn't matter.
For example, if you have the AT&T 2.2 update on your phone, you can use the AT&T 2.1 RUU on your phone. The ROM and radio will downgrade, but the HBOOT will remain the newer version (1.x), which prevents you from rooting the phone but doesn't prevent you from using the 2.1 ROM like a stock phone.
Thanks for the reply, but what's a goldcard?
As for HBOOT, is it something like the HSPL/SPL of the HTC HD? How do I check the HBOOT version?
EDIT:
Also, since I probably can only flash asian roms, does this mean I can flash any asian rom? I noticed that there are Taiwan, Hong Kong, etc roms (I bought my phone from China).

Sounds like you need to do some searching and research and you don't even need to leave XDA to find all of the answers. Seek and you shall find...
Ok I found out what are both.
Found out that my phone is madein Taiwan though I bought it from China, does this mean I can flash the official taiwan rom here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062149) onto my Aria (if I care not for any clockwork recovery/custom ROMS)?
However, can official roms run non-market android apps?

The official AT&T ROMS are usually the only ones that don't allow non-market android apps, however there is an update for the AT&T Froyo 2.2.2 ROM that enables this option now, too.
Hi,
I just bought an Atrix thas is Retail FR (4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR) and the guy told me not to flash it with Bell's rom. I know Android's basis, what's a rom, cm7, bootloader ect.. As I had some before but I'm new in Atrix's world and saw flashing the wrong rom could brick the Atrix so I don't want to risk anything and would like a few more infos.
So it's now in 2.2.2 and I'd like to flash a custom rom or at least get it to gingerbread, could you please tell me which one should I like for or which type is good and which one is not good ? ( Same for kernel)
Thanks in advance,
Zyryck
P.S : Does it make a difference that my phone is a FR Retail (he bought it from France)
Any idea please ?
hi, im in taiwan and im planning on buying the atrix me860, but before i do, i have a couple of questions:

2. can i just as easily root and install custom roms on it as the other firmware?
me too i want to know how to root for me860. does anyone know it. thanks
Hi all,
I buyed a Flyer from my recent trip to USA but there is no no Italian language on it.
Can someone address me to a solution to have it?
Can I flash it with a rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062184
If so which one and how?
Please help me, it is a gift to be delivered asap to my girlfriend birthday!!
thank you very much !!
You need root and S-Off to flash a ROM not intended for the region of the device (US).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
Then you should be able to flash one of the shipped ROMs, but you will lose root if you flash an official ROM (should still have S-Off). So my recommendation would be to look around in the Development section to see if there is a custom ROM that supports Italian.
Thank you for the reply.
I don't mind to have it rooted now, just transformed into and European Flyer.
This will be for my girlfriend.
So steps are:
1) S-OFF
2) root
3) use one of the EU stock rom (with italian) to flash it (how I can chose the right one for the 16gb wifi)?
once done the Flyer will be an European one with S-OFF no more rooted but I'll be able to use future update from European HTC (honeycomb?)
Is this correct?
Sorry to stress but I don 't what to screw it up
That all sounds correct, in theory. I would also use Clockwork to backup the stock ROM, before flashing a new one, just in case.
I don't personally know which shipped ROM is the one you want, so you are on your own on that one (or maybe somebody else can help).
I'm not sure if having an S-Off US Flyer with the EU ROM will allow you to get any OTAs or not. Worst case you re-root (which is very easy once you are S-Off) and get a pre-rooted or custom version of Honeycomb once its available.
Thank you very much, I'll try it tonight.
I'll go to a store to check the version of an Italian Flyer to know which RUU to get.
I'll let you know
Everything done!
at the momet I chose the FlyHigh ROM v1.2 (Italian is included!)
Thank you again for the support!
Does anyone know if I can change my phones stock rom with cherryblur without messing with another kernel? Because I have an AT&T atrix that I bought from amazon.com and it came unlocked since I live in Costa Rica, everything is stock, but I'd like to change my rom and wanna know if I can put that rom on my phone as is comes, with my stock kernel, I guess it's stock since I haven't changed anything and it came with gingerbread 2.3.4 out of the box. So do I need another kernel or something? Because it is in fact an AT&T phone, it was just career unlocked. And can I flash it even when I have gingerbread on it?
PLEASE help! I wanna get rid of motoblurs slowlyness...
No you do not need to change kernals. The though cherry blur may flash its own
