So, i have the HTC Gratia A6380 (wich i've understand is the same as aria, just the EU version)
and been trying to find a way to root it. But i havent managed to yet. I have looked around in the dev forum
but it seems that most of the tutorials are either old or have dead links.
I've tried some auto 1 click rooters but those i've tried just restarts my phone before the end.
So im wondering if anybody knows a working tutorial that works as of today and the links aren't broken.
Also, i figured i could provide my device info.
Code:

I understand this phone is old and these forums half dead, but any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance !
I would recommend to S-OFF the phone first via this: http://revolutionary.io/
I think you first have to OTA up to hboot 1.02 so this can work, but I'm not sure... maybe it works with the old hboot as well. Just try out. When you have S-OFF, just flash a recovery via fastboot and flash SuperSU via recovery and you are done. Good luck!

For recovery, use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446778
I had an old Aria with CM7 on it, HBoot 0.57 and S-ON. Ran through a bunch of things before getting it to work...overall, the "right" way is quite simple...
I used the official AT&T 2.2 Update package to get Hboot updated to one that revolutionary would be able to root, then revolutionary ran without a hitch.
Once HBoot is at 1.02 and S-OFF, you're pretty much free to install any recovery or ROM as needed - I am giving 4.4 a shot.

i managed to get hboot 1.02 and then s-off with revolutionary. Gonna give the last part a try during the weekend, gonna post results then, thx for the help so far!

Can I use the HTCDve way to get S-off? Or I need to use the revolutionary way?
I saw they website have list 4 Flyer but I not sure which one I should use to do the s-off
They list are
Flyer (Brightstar) 2.27.1540.31_R
Flyer (TUR Wi-Fi) 2.27.1127.31
Flyer (TUR) 2.27.468.1
Flyer (WWE Wi-Fi) 2.27.1114.31
Flyer (WWE) 2.23.405.3_R
Thank you advise
First update to latest firmware (not honeycomb, which is Android 3.2), and then you can gain S-OFF
Thank you for advise,
The flyer already in Android 2.3.3, what is the last one? How to update the firmware?

Latest is 2.3.4, you can update through OTA by going to Settings -> About tablet -> System Updates -> Check, and a pop-up will offer you to download the update. Then you can get S-OFF with Revolutionary and be happy.
P.S. Yours is Flyer (WWE) 2.23.405.3_R after the update, you can check the system version in About Tablet
I updated but it still run on Running on Android 2.3.3
The only change is software # from 1.36.405.5 change to 2.00.405.3
any suggestion?

You can't get S-OFF with HTCdev, it will only unlock the bottloader. To gain S-OFF you need to use revolutionary method. And there's no need in goldcard.
after two updates the H-boot from 1.07 became 1.11.003 now.
Thank you for you help. So, I look a link From globatron,

Sure man, just follow the guide and you'll be a happy Flyer Honeycomb user
Though you can't enable phone capabilities manually, you'll need to install a custom software - either CoolHoney or LeeDroid HC.
I thought the Android 2.3.4 still GB not Honeycomb, correct right.
As you said" First update to latest firmware (not honeycomb, which is Android 3.2), and then you can gain S-OFF"
If I don't to use the Honeycomb, I just like the Flyer able to enable the phone function and BT at current Android 2.3.4. and modify the current rom at
System\build.prop
as ro.ril.reject.cs.ss.enabled=0
ro.ril.reject.mo.ussd.enabled=0
ro.phone.function=1
BT function
ro.bt.profiles = 4270403
service.brcm.bt.ag_supported = 1
or flash some Chines Rom , So I still need to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1194709 procedure to do that right?
Hi fatal1ty, Thank you
I got everything done, I flash a stock rom have modified the phone and BT.
It seems working so far.
Thank you for you help, I could not done as the way I want on my flyer without your help. Thank you again.

How Can up to the Android 2.3.4?
OTA?
No, no OTA! That way you'll brick the device
Better use FlyHigh ROM, the one you're using now probably based on previous (2.00.405.3) version. You should look at the first post of the ROM thread to see what OS version is it based on.
can I also use RUU way to do that
the Ruu I will use is this
RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_HK_2.27.708.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204709_signed.exe

No, you can't use the RUU either, because you're rooted and with S-OFF.
Remember: official software on rooted/s-off'd device = brick
Just use another custom ROM that is built on 2.23.405.3
HI,
I would like explain how to run RUU to update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 from stock ROM on my last post question.
I read a guy at China website said he did use RUU with his S-off flyer and updated to 2.3.4 at below link
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-2717771-1-1.html
On #3 he said he run RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_HK_2.27.708.1_Radio_20.3504.30. 089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204709_signed.exe in his window computer
without flyer connect to computer and before close the RUU program, find the ROM.zip in the computer's Temp folder and copy it out, rename to PG41IMG.zip and put it into the root SD card. to flash the rom.
after flashed, delete PG41IMG.zip from SD card and copy the other one PG41IMG.zip (4.52MB) to get recovery back and run su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip to root.
Have you or anyone have try this way? Is this way will work? Would you please advise your comments?
I have no idea how to root my current version of my phone, any chance someone could point me in the right direction?

The information you've given cannot be correct, Do you perhaps mean Android 4.0.3? And what carrier are you on? and any and all information you can think of (Correct information) will be helpful here.
Plus hboot and ROM version don't correspond with each other. I believe he is gsm too due to his bootloader being 1.63 I mean 1.53.

Hello XDA, i've been a long time lurker due to flashing my evo 4g and swapping roms on it constantly.
I have recently purchased an CDMA EVO 3D and was attempting to get S-OFF i started off by re locking my phone but i can't get past the ROM Update Utility, i believe it's because my image version is too up to date?
My bootloader is

Just a heads up that you won't be able to flash the 2.89.651.2 RUU with the March OTA installed without downgrading your main version (mainver). I can give you instructions to do that if necessary but I suggest trying that guide first starting with Step2, or if you are already rooted Step3.
Good luck!

Just got off work and i'm gonna sit down and give this a try, thank you guys i'll let you know how it goes.
I've been stuck at the HTC logo... I still have access to recovery hboot 1.58 but it keeps saying in fastboot mode no image found???
How can I just flash anything at this point? Please help

Sorry, we can't help people that use iPad's in this forum.
j/k
But seriously, you kind of hijacked the OP's thread so you might be better off starting your own or at least providing a little more information like what ROM you are using, have you installed the March OTA, do you have a custom recovery installed, are you S-ON or S-OFF. That would be a good start anyway.

I cannot thank you guys enough, i'm S-OFF now and everything seems to be good. Again thank you two so much.

HEY MAN I AM HERE TO CONFIRM THAT YOU CAN FIX YOUR HTC THUNDERBOLT.
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW AND I GURANTEE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN.
***I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU MESS UP YOUR DEVICE FROM FAILURE TO READ INSTRUCTIONS***
there is a fix!!!
what you want to do is follow these instructions to downgrade your htc thunderbolt to a firmware that can be S-OFF, i should say.
the reason behind why this wont work is because you are probably s-on and HTC is rejecting your file. Kinda like Read/Write.
Basically you need to be S-OFF.
*****FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CORRECTLY SO THAT YOU WON'T PERM-BRICK THE DEVICE TO WHERE YOU CANNOT FIX IT*****
