I am quite new on android and I have never rooted.
Now I have decided to root my HTC aria but it is upgraded to 2.2 through OTA.
I have Googled for a while, and it seems that rooting is not possible on aria 2.2 OTA upgrade.
Is it true?
If yes, am I going to master reset (factory data reset) it to root?
Or are there any other ways?

p.s. sorry for poor English I am from HK
Edit: I have already downgraded it to 2.1 Eclair but the version of hboot is still 1.02.
Also, I still can't root it.
That is correct, you can't root your phone if you downloaded the 2.2 update, there is no way to root it as of yet and there is noway to downgrade
So I still can't root after factory reset?

No, you cannot
I have already downgraded my phone to 2.1 Eclair.
But I still can't root it.
Is it because the version of hboot?
Yes it is.

No there is currently no way to root the newer HTC devices that have installed the Froyo update, including now the AT&T Aria. HTC has modified the HBOOT loader code on all of these devices and removed the previous root exploit that was used. At this point in time a new rootable exploit has not been found, so you are out of luck.

Why would HTC (= not gay) allow ATT (= gay) to dictate something line locking the phone to a specific ROM and not letting users continue to root the thing?

AT&T had nothing to do with this. HTC is the one that has changed the HBOOT loader code on all of their devices, not just the AT&T Aria. If you bought an unlocked HTC Aria from Asia and installed the Froyo 2.2 update, you would have the same issue.

Yes indeed. But I don't get it why they are pressed to change the HBOOT like this. Someone will end-up cracking it anyway. But anyway...
Dude, you can still tether w/o paying by creating apn settings for MediaNet.
You can find info about APN settings in the forum or download an app that can backup apn settings (I use HiAPN) and access your phone via computer and open up the XML file. In that file it should have the apn settings of your carrier (password, proxy, etc.) Make a new APN setting with the same values you just read. Please note that MCC is 310 and MNC is 410.
Has anyone figured out how to root the new aria HBOOT ? Or are they still working on it if anyone is working on it.
as far as I know, many people had this mistake and had to wait for developer to solve it one day

This is a common problem with a lot of the HTC devices and is not unique to the Aria upgrade, so once a solution is discovered, hopefully it can be applied to the Aria also.

Security of the platform. If you openly allow people to gain root access to your devices, no one will want to carry your device, nor develop software for it.
Rooting allows
-method to circumvent tethering restrictions
-file browsing the phone which allows easy pirating of software
Me, I want to root for the first reason.
im also facing this issue
Aria official android 2.2, HBOOT 1.02, SHIP ON
not able to root it, waiting for someone talented working out a solution...
with the at&t version of the htc one getting the 4.3 update today..im guessing it will be a bad idea doing the ota update if you still want root and unlock bootlaoder? im currently on stock no root 4.1.2 right now. i was thinking of rooting and unlocking my bootlaoder..

Neither should be a problem after accepting the ota, rooted leaks have been out for a while, and I doubt that anything updated from the ota interferes with the unlocking process.

I tried updating with my HTC one but it keeps saying it's currently up to date. How can I fix this? I'm running on an unlocked AT&T with Simple Mobile as a carrier. I've changed the IMEI number before and I'm not sure if it's relevant to updating the software itself. Is it possible to manually update the software? I'm new to using an HTC One this is my first android.

Developer edition is different then the normal AT&T HTC One. The AT&T version is expected to receive 4.4 sometime towards the end of january 2014.
since i bought my htc ONE that it hasn't updated OTA anytimes. i often check software update, but it inform to me no available update. so i have to update it by PC or zip file.
my ONE is unlocked by code when i bought, because i am living in Viet Nam.
You wont get any updates from att using another network in another country

As has already been said. You can only get OTA updates for an ATT phone over the ATT network. It will not work over other networks since they do not supply the update in the first place. The update comes from ATT.
Furthermore it would need to be stock even if you wanted to get an OTA here in the US. With it being unlocked it would still not receive updates.
If you have S-OFF, you can manually flash ota update.zip via stock recovery.
Actually I have the same problem, but in my case i AM connected to AT&T network.... any ideas on whats going on?

Are you stock or custom? Only complete stock will be able to receive OTA's.

If your phone is android 4.1.2 you need to flash the RUU to 4.3 then you'll get the OTA
