AT&T has kept their promises and the Android 2.2 update for the HTC Aria phones on their network is now live. You can head on over to HTC’s Aria support page to download the update. To get Froyo on the Aria, all that’s involved is a download from HTC’s support site. The file is 165 MB, so just ensure that you have enough room somewhere on your computer, and also make sure that your Aria has been fully backed up so you don’t lose any of your precious data.
The update will require HTC Sync for complete and will put the device through a hard reset, so make sure you have all your apps, texts and whatever you have stored on your phone backed up before you proceed with anything.
