Gain S-Off On HTC Aria With Revolutionary [How To Guide]

HTC Aria may not be the hottest Android phone out there today owing to its age, but there is a good chance that while people may have moved onto more powerful phones, somewhere in the drawer, or in the less tech savvy wife’s purse, an HTC Aria sits, awaiting freedom. So if you have one lying around and it is completely stock, get it a bit customized to at least give it a chance to perform at its true potential. The first step would be to gain S-Off, and what better way to do it, then through a one click solution. Enter Revolutionary, the S-Off tool from the developers of Unrevoked and AlphaRevX. With this tool, you would have S-Off on your device in no time.

The tool will also install ClockworkMod recovery on the device to allow easy installation of ROMs or other unsigned zip packages. Furthermore, the tool is only applicable for Arias running the 1.02.0000 HBOOT version. Here’s how to go about this now.
