I am having a heck of hard time loading the drivers for the Aria.
I do have USB debugging selected, and it shows up as an adb device in the device manager, but it will not load drivers.
I am running windows 7 64bit if that helps. If anyone can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.
Get a linux live cd, like ubuntu. Then you don't need drivers
EDIT:Upon reading this I sound like a ****. I didn't mean to be, just trying to helps.
I have it working on Win7 x64.
Have you installed the HTC Sync software? You don't need to run it, but need to install it so it can install the correct drivers for you.
I highly, highly suggest using the irc for support.

I had the same issue I'm sure the problem is that you need the ADB drivers which is provided by HTC Sync..
Try installing HTC SYNC UPDATE FOR HTC ARIA™ (AT&T) (2.0.38) | 06.22.2010
http://member.america.htc.com/download/Web_materials/Manual/HTC_Aria_ATT/HTCSync2.0.38.exe
I too am running windows x64 and it worked for me.
Thank you all for your replies! The HTC Sync was exactly what I needed. Thanks!

I tried and tried for days to get this working and couldnt. Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled the same version of HTC Sync and everything worked on the first try.
Anyone else completely unable to download the HTC Sync software for Aria? I've been trying to root this bad boy for a day and a half now, and just when I've got it narrowed down to no drivers, the HTC site seems to have completely forgotten what HTC Sync for Aria is. lol
-----Edit-----
The download LOOKS like it's available for the Aria, on the Aria downloads page. They ask for my serial number, verify it, and give me a download link. THe download link takes me to a generic download page, where the only version of Sync listed is 2.0.33. Anyone able to get it? Anyone able to host it for download?
Why edit the post again? lol
The new link is to the new version of HTC Sync. I can't post the link, because I'm a n00b, but this is the portion after the domain.
/download/Web_materials/Manual/HTC_Aria_ATT/HTCSync3.0.5372.exe
Try this... it worked for me

After you enter your serial number and the download link appears, don't left click it, right click it and choose save target as. That's how I got HTC sync. Now if I could just get the darn Aria rooted...

it is *really* simple using a Linux Boot CD, nothing to install and it just works almost immediately. Use the IRC #liberatedAria channel for help
here's a mirc command , just type or paste this into Status window
/server -m chat.freenode.net -i timtucker timtucker- [email protected] tim_tucker -j #liberatedAria
The link doesn't work for me; did they pull it already?
Apparently, they were working on a new version of Sync. On Friday, after I posted, I noticed a new version alongside the old. And the old link started working again. After many tries with the usb plug timing, I was able to root my aria. Thanx to all!

Linux Live CD
I know Ubuntu is much easier to get ADB running. But, I edited the file to add the Vendor ID:
Code:
sudo leafpad /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules
In the file, which leafpad created, I typed these two lines for the Kindle Fire 2:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”0x1949″,MODE=”0666″SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”1949″,MODE=”0666″
For HTC, the code is "0bb4"
So, use:
SUBSYSTEM==”usb”,SYSFS{idVendor}==”0bb4″,MODE=”0666″
I saw 0x1949 in the windows .ini file, and most Linux VIDs were just four digits, so I did both...
Worked like a charm. There's a great tutorial for ADB on Ubuntu / Xubuntu

Not sure if anyone has been looking fot them or if anyone knows, BUT the Hero manual and HTC sync are loaded onto the supplied memory card.
Just connect it to your pc select notifications at the top of your hero then you you should see USB connected. Select it and then select mount. It then sees your Hero as a USB drive. Just drag and drop the files onto your pc`s desktop. Then install HTC sync. It then allows you to sync contacts in outlook etc.
I've got a real problem!
Just got the Hero home, WITHOUT knowing HTC Sync was on the card...
Turned it on... the SD was indicating as broken... "please format"... so I did... no more HTC Sync...
Is there a place I can donwload it from? I tried the HTC Support website... but it can not find the phone on either PC...!
Can anyone Help please?!

dont even bother trying htc sync if youre running win 7 x64, it simply doesnt work... even if you install the vista driver manually from the android sdk, i ended up importing my contacts into my google mail account and syncing over the air, better that way anyway as it is always sync'd live.
It should sync with win 7 64bit if you install the Dream driver

I have the same issue... and even with the Dream Driver installed, it won't sync... I now sync over Gmail as well.... and as a Workaround, this is OK for me.

yah but we want the htc rom update utility ,...how to get that the serial no doesnt match
I've got it working under Windows 7 x64. You just need the Windows Vista x64 drivers and a copy of dpinst.exe and you should be good to go. I can mail you dpinst when I get home if you pm your address.
If there's a need for it, I can create a msi package that will install the drivers automatically (but not until at least the weekend).

I've done some searching and I can't find anything on this. I can't find any download links or whatever.
I'm running Windows 7 64-bit.
Thanks guys!

Oh ok.
I'm installing it now.
If you search my stats i made a good thread on stting it up i attached drivers too
Weird: had no problems using adb on my HTC Magic, but adb remount w/ the HD2 gives me 'remount failed: Unknown error: 0'
I have the sdk installed. When I connect the HD2, it asks for the location, I specify the location of the SDK. It cannot find anything. What exactly is it looking for?

After downloading the Android SDK, use its manager to download the windows drivers and it will be downloaded in, for example, C:\android-sdk-windows\usb_driver
Use this folder when windows ask you for drivers.
OMFG I'm about to throw this POS out of the window! My G1 never gave me close to as many problems as this hackjob. I am going crazy trying to figure out how adb works on the hd2, on the G1 it was in the phone when it was rooted, I downloaded the program from java, installed sdk manager and the windows usb drivers, what do I do next? It still doesn't see my device, neither does droidexplorer and I have usb debugging on. ALL I WANT IS MY DAMN GPS TO WORK, POS IS ROOTED BUT WON'T SAVE MY CHANGES WHEN I CHANGE THE GPS.CONF FILE! sorry, no sleep, work nights, one day left to fix this phone... or I might just buy a damn iphone
So I set out to root my phone and am in the process to trying to install the USB drivers so i can use ADB. At first, windows installed it's own drivers, which obviously didn't work. I tried to update the drivers in the device manager to the ones located in the google-usb directory, but it said i already had the latest installed.
Next i decided to uninstall the current drivers completely and start over. I then told it to install the drivers that were located the in the google-usb directory. It said no drivers were found. They were obviously there, so i manually gave it the "android_winusb.inf" driver as per the cyanogen mod wiki page instructions on installing the drivers. It then said that "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems."
I'm new to this so thanks for any help at all. I really want to learn my way around this kind of stuff.
Try it with your phone in mass storage mode with debugging on.
Still no luck. I've had it in debugging mode and charge only. Switched to disk drive mode and no change
Just download HTC Sync and use the drivers it provides. Should work for using adb.

Now it can't even find HTC Sync on my computer... It's installed and i just used it the other day. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that i uninstalled the drivers it had? It can't communicate now?
This is what I used, worked great.
This might help also, he goes over installing the drivers a few minutes in.
Hope it works out for you.

You're more than welcome. You might re-title the post with [Solved] at the beginning so anyone with the same problem know to look here.
Just wanted to mention here that this was noted a while back and the CM Wiki will be updated with an easy way to correct this for Thunderbolt as well as other devices soon.
what's the solve?
I did what the documents said...but its stuck at "zerging root". i never had and have HTC sync installed as well.
someone help?

If HTC Sync is installed, make sure its not running and try again.

no, lol...never been installed on my PC. its not here.
Did you follow the instructions exactly? The "zerging root" step takes a little bit of time. Also, turn off fastboot if not already off. That's what I had to do.
On PC:
-No HTC Sync (you're ok there it seems)
-Disable/Pause any antivirus
-Uninstall and existing drivers you may have for the phone
-Install recommended drivers and java sdk/ADB (any of the guides should have links...cant find the particular one i used off hand though. I think the rEVO site has links too)
On phone:
-Fastboot off
-Enable usb debugging
-Set phone to charge only when plugged in
Thats all going from memory but i'd bet that error may be on account of either
1) conflicting drivers present
2) Antivirus preventing the file from doing its job
3) USB debug not enabled.
Hope this helps. Let us know what you run into. When I get home I'd be happy to share the link to the guide i used (had it favorited) and I can even zip up all the necessary files organized step by step) and send them to you to make it easier to find them all.
Keep us posted and GL!

The drive? Do you mean driver? The only driver you need to use ADB is the regular HTC device drivers. ADB itself comes in the Android SDK.
I just did this today, install SDK from android.com; then you have to install HTC Sync.

You don't actually need HTC Sync. I've never installed it and don't plan on it. All you need is a custom driver .inf that we put together for you already.
This should help you if you have any questions installing the sdk.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
You could always just install HTC sync (which will install the drivers) and then uninstall HTC sync. The drivers will not be uninstalled.

I followed that set up exactly, but I am unable to get adb to recognize my device at all. No "Unknown Device" shows up in device manager so I can not change the driver for it. Not sure why I have such trouble with adb. It's never worked for me.
Are you setting the path to the platform tools in your system variables?

And as expected, not only will ADB not work, not that I changed the drivers according to the guide, my computer won't recognize my phone when it's plugged in as a disk drive. Running Bamf 2.4.1. I rooted with the 3 step/"1 click" method months ago and never had any problems. I try to get adb set up so I can do things properly and learn and now I have nothing but problems.

Got it sorted. I ended up deleting the android sdk and starting from scratch using the first link....and it didn't work again. Tried the video link above...and it didn't work. Then I figured I'd try to delete the adb device in Device Manager, unplug my phone, then plug it back in. That worked for some reason. Now it shows up in adb properly, and I can connect it as a disk drive as well. Huzzah indeed.
