Hello. After I installed the update file and reboot my phone, the recovery options did not appear and I can't access the SD card. I get a "Not Prepared" error message. What steps should I take? Thanks
When it reboots, did you try pressing the power button and volume button?
Also did you try upgrading the version using your ROM manager? Make sure Wifi is enabled.
your market fix wont work for me, at the installation screen the file errors and i get (status 0) -HTC aria
Looks like this post if for 2.2. I installed and now have 2.3.3 (gingerbread?) installed. I think the market fix is for a 2.2 build and this is why it fails.
Thanks for this blog I liked it. 3 mobiles
