No. To unroot, but keep s-off, just install the factory RUU; it won't affect S-OFF.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigballa:
I cant believe i did this and everyone has every right to call me stupid but here it goes anyways...

I have an inspire which was rooted with CWM but had s-on and i got fed up with the radio that was on there so i decided to use another one

i tried the ace hack kit and it was going along smoothly and then it said unlocking radio please be patient and the phone was on the htc (white & green text) screen for almost 20 minutes and i then realized the phoen wasnt responding but in cmd adb devices or fastboot devices was not showing a device attatched

now my phone wont boot into recovery or any rom BUT it does boot into the bootloader

i tried both the zips on here and it checks the zip (progress bar completes) then it says again checking zip (no progress bar) and it just cancels out and goes back to the option screen :(

any ideas on how to get my phone back again?

i cant use fastboot flash recovery because i still have s-on so any help would be greeat :-D
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsohne:
Worked flawlessly coming from Virtuous Unity. No problems and kudos to the dev.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
This will only work with an S-OFF device. If you're S-ON, then you don't need this tool. Use the RUU to return to stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigballa:
that worked flawlessly thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tcozman:
This worked well for me. I didn't run into any snags at all. This could come in handy in the future if i want to upgrade and sell this phone to a friend.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpvsuperstar:
hold on correct me if i am wrong but does s-off mean that i will be able to use my phone on any other mobile carrier? and if i have s-off will i be able to automatically receive and update me phone?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I'm a little lost. Let's go back to the beginning. Why are you in this thread?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpvsuperstar:
My bad. Alright so, I have a rooted htc inspire and I want to unroot it because of the problems I'm having.

My question is, if I unroot my phone and turn s-on, will I be able to use my phone on a different cellular service still (i.e- having a AT&T Phone but using a T-Mobile SIM card)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
The simple answer is yes. The long answer is that gfree, the tool that hack kits run, obtains S-OFF, unlocks carrier and unlocks SIM. The process of unlocking the SIM results in zeroing out a block of data in the secure partition. gfree makes a copy of this information and stores it in a file on your SD card called part7backup-xxxxxxxxxx.bin (where xxxxxxxxxx is a randomly generated number based on the date/time) To truly restore it to as-original, you'd need to copy the data in that file back to partition 7, but my tool (and every other s-on method I've seen) don't bother because it is NOT a warranty violation to have an SIM unlocked phone.

The relevant question, though, is what makes you think returning to S-ON will fix your problem? S-ON is a single bit in partition7 that is read by the system at boot to determine whether or not to turn security on or off. Here's an analogy: if you've got a light switch turned on, but there's no light because the bulb is burned out, it wouldn't seem reasonable to expect that turning the switch off, then back on would fix the problem.

You really only need to go back to S-ON if you need to return your phone for warranty purposes. If you're having issues with the phone, then it is probably something screwy in the ROM you're running, other conflicts in the data partition, or some bad hardware. None of these are going to be fixed by switching S-ON then S-OFF again. Things to try (in this order): wipe data/factory reset. This will remove all user data and apps and start you from a clean slate with respect to the current ROM. Install a different ROM. And finally, if all seems to point to hardware problems, use this tool to return to S-ON and send it in for warranty or repairs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mpvsuperstar:
Alright thanks I think I understand the concept better. Except the part if my phone will still be unlocked.

Now if it will be still unlocked (so i can use other carriers) should I use your tool? Will it restore me to the factory ROM and keep S-OFF? Or do I have to go somewhere else. (If so, can you please direct me as this is my first Android and not quite familiar)
[HTC Inspire 4G] clintb:
Just want to say THANK YOU for this awesome and overly easy tool. My wife's Inspire is having GPS and speaker problems so I needed to get it back to stock before she takes it in. Followed the directions, did a bit of babysitting, and it's back. Easy, peasy.
[HTC Inspire 4G] whiteman0vette:
Works great. I'm stock now.. Will my market update to the new version?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Eventually.
[HTC Inspire 4G] whiteman0vette:
Ok thank you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] newuser21:
When renaming a file PD98 IMG.zip is there a space between PD98 and IMG? Just wanted to confirm. Thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
No there is no space.

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
I am beyond irritated with the lackluster, on and off gps issues with my phone. Will be running this shortly and post again if successful or issues arise.

Quick question in regards to turning it in after the successful s-on and stock rom success, is it 100% confirmed I will receive a refurbished phone?

And, should I request the exchange in store, over the phone or at a Device Service Center? More information here: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB91429
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
They won't do an exchange in store unless it is a new device within a thirty day period. I have had trouble making an exchange at a device center. If you pickup a couple of satellites and get a five minute lock, they might say you have a working GPS and refuse to exchange it. I find it best to just have them mail me one. Although, in a device center you could test the exchange device before you leave. With over the phone, you could just keep having them send them until you get a good one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Also, you might just have a loose connection on the GPS board as described here:

Thanks for the feedback, ill consider my next steps after what.you've told me here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Thanks for the suggestion Gene, I've ran into that thread before and have considered that option. Honestly I'm a bit disapointed with HTC and that we have to deal with problems like the gps. Reminds me of when I had my craptivate for those few days and deciding to return it altogether.
[HTC Inspire 4G] puneta26:
ur the man!!! i was bricked and solved my problem with this!!! thanks!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joel1030:
I used this tool, went through the whole process and when reboots it got stuck on splash screen, any sugestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Go to hboot and see if you're actually back to S-ON. If so, then run the RUU from HTC:

http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbr...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe

I'm at a loss as to why it would fail after S-ON, but who knows. If it's still S-OFF, then it probably failed because you're doing this from an EXT4 based ROM (like CM7 or AR6) and it wasn't wiped/formatted properly and you failed to notice that during the flash.

Either way, running the RUU linked above should get it bootable again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dustinharwood197:
Hey I'm trying to dl the gb version and it keeps saying download unsuccessful. Link broken? Or is my phone being stupid?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Just checked. Link is good. It's a big file (300+ megs); is your SDCard full?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bryan583:
I downloaded the GB file and did an nandroid back up. Then went an wipe cache, factory reset, but I knew I had a EXT4 cache so here's my question how do I format this to EXT3? I couldn't find It in recovery. Is this something I do from a cmd terminal? I've since restored the backup until I figure it out. Thanks for any help and please do slap me to hard, but I couldn't find it in this thread or site.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I'm really not sure. I think by default, most versions of CWM recovery will default to EXT3 when you choose "format" for the list of various partitions in the "mounts and storage" menu.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bryan583:
Ok so 2 things

1st- my dumb ass read it wrong. When I was in astro file manger I saw a file named 4EXT and some how thought EXT4.

2nd- I went back an did a factory reset, then for added support I went and formatted the cache,system,data. Then pulled battery and went into hboot and ran the file and about 10mins later I'm back to s-on and running stock.

THANKS TO ATTN1 AND THE DEVS

and EVERYONE WHO MAKES THIS ALL POSSIBLE!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] itechscs:
Thanks guys, this was very easy and worked flawlessly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
hello

so i have to return my phone to HTC to get repaired, ive never had to unroot or return to S-on before this is a first for me, my inspire was purchased 6 months ago and now my charger/usb will not work, my phone came with FR but im now running a custom GB ASOP ROM, i assume i use your FR link, is that correct? i will not be able to connect to my pc but i have a full charge, will i be able to get this to work for me? any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you very much
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Yes, it should work fine if your partitions are clean and correct (wiped and formatted to EXT3). Since you had Froyo, you could install either with no problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrhaley30705:
Is there a way to verify sim unlock status, without simply using asim card from another carrier?
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
ok i read that in the first post, but i do have a custom 4EXT recovery installed and a CM7 dalvik-cache and everything is formatted to EXT4, is a simple factory data reset and full wipe of caches enough, or do i need to reinstall clockworkmod again? by the way thank you very much for all your help and your very quick reply, much appreciated
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
I believe 4EXT gives you the option to format EXT3, right? That should be all you need to do. Wipe/factory reset, then format all partitions that show up in recovery as EXT3 and you should be OK.

If you need a CWM recovery for some reason (I've never used 4EXT so I don't know for sure) you can get a PD98IMG version here:

http://hoxnet.com/droid/PD98IMG_cwm5026_recovery.zip

Save this on your SDCard as PD98IMG.zip and reboot to hboot and follow the prompts. You'll get CWM 5.0.2.6 as compiled with the CM7 source tree.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Gene quick question. Would someone with a dhd be able to flash this zip as is or would they have to change the model id in the txt file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
It would flash (S-OFF ignores CID mismatches), then return to S-ON, then choke on the included HTC signed RUU since the CIDs wouldn't match.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I should have been more clearer. I was referring to the CWR you just posted. The reason i ask is a while back i was helping someone who was stuck and could only go into hboot. They had no recovery installed so i gave them your your link to the older recovery you had posted. their phone did not find it but it did find a dhd pd98 formatted ruu.

I had forgotten about it but your post reminded me to ask you. I noticed that in pd98 files found in the dhd section have a model id of pd9810000 vs our pd9812000. Thats why I asked if the txt file would have to be adjusted and maybe why it failed to load for the dhd user?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Sorry. If I hadn't been just skimming, I probably would have caught that.

I don't think it should matter as long as the device is S-OFF. S-OFF should ignore any CID or version specific files and just chug right along. Of course, if it's S-ON, then nothing but HTC-signed, CID-specific, and version appropriate PD98IMG's will install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] greentrees89:
bro you rock, you made that process so painless, quick and easy its unbelievable, really truly awesome, you have been very helpful, much appreciated :D

Finding update package

Opening update package

Installing update

Installation aborted.

Please, how can I repair my HTC Inspire 4G ?

Thank You
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
You can't run a PD98IMG.zip from recovery.

You place the PD98IMG file on the SDCard, then when you do the power on VOL-DOWN thingie, it will find it automatically and begin installation.

ext4 wipe

how do i wipe ext4 catch or is their a video doing this step by step.this phone is all i got for awile.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pc09:
So i was able to do the steps as described in the OP, but here is where i'm having a hang up. It does not ask me to reboot after the HBOOT. And when I go into the phone it is still rooted and still does not have the original RUU or ROM. I'm wondering after i did a search on the SD card, it was set as FAT32, could that be the issue? it was at EXT4 so i wiped and reset as the instructions said to, not sure what to do now. I will keep playing, the phone is broke so it is not like i can do much more damage. I need to return it to Best Buy for insurance claim!

thanks,

Patti

Question.

Goodmorning,

I've 2 questions. I don't need to connect it to a pc during the progress, right? Important question for me because my mini usb port is broken.

Does this also work for the HTC Desire HD?

Thank you very much.

[HTC Inspire 4G] AnticsTheHanyou:
I just used this for my buddy's phone (Inspire 4G) which had the same issue. No computer is required excluding downloading the file.

You just place the downloaded file on your SD card, rename it to PD98IMG.zip, and boot into the bootloader (Volume Down+Power) and it will verify the update file. After it verifies it, you will just have to hit volume up to flash it. After flashing, it takes all of 5 minutes to get back to complete stock.

However, I doubt it will work for the HD as it flashes the bootloader. Someone could correct me if I'm wrong, but chances are it would most likely render your phone into a nice paperweight.

This worked perfectly. :) Thank you so much for this.

I bought a Transformer yesterday, and I have some pretty severe backlight bleed. I'm either going to exchange or return it tonight.

I understand that people with problems with their device will be much more vocal than people who haven't run into any issues, but the number of posts I've seen talking about display or speaker issues is kind of worrying me, especially when I can go to the Thrive forum and see zero or near zero topics about hardware issues. Does anyone here have a Transformer with no problems? Or do they all have some issue and should I look at a different tablet?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
No issues whatsoever with mine, although I haven't actually went looking for light bleed. Certainly, I've not noticed it in normal use, which is the only place it would bother me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evening2005:
I have small light-bleed but it's only visible on a completely black screen with the brightness turned right up and the lights in the room switched off. That's not my normal use case so it doesn't bother me.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steini81:
I have my Transformer since 2 months now. The hardware is perfect, there is no Lightbleed, no cracking, no dust under the screen and the speakers are o.k. One little problem is Honeycomb, it is not so good as it could be but its getting better with every update. Rooting was no problem and there are no issues when flashing other roms. Last week i bought the dock and there is also nothing wrong with it.

I am very happy with my new Transformer and dont whant to be without it anymore.

I have just RMAd the dock, as it was a B50 and had the power drain issue, but the tablet on it's own has been great.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turbulent28:
very minimal light bleed, but nothing major.

Out of curiosity, hows the ROM dev over with the Thrive? Im wondering if there is more development over there than there is with the TF..

And if so, if having several Roms/mods to play with, keep user more content; So much so, that they overlook minor details..

Maybe were just bored over here in TF world

I only had the creak before, until I learned to look for the light bleed in the dark. It's not that bad, but it feels horrible when you look for it,
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Susido:
Certainly not me ;-) After 5 weeks trying to find a tablet and dock to actually purchase, I bought the only one I could find - a 32 GB version. Why the heck I didn't just give up and wait for the next generation, I'll never know.

Significant light bleed but that doesn't really bother me. But then I discovered the dock battery draining issue with my turned off tablet and that really started to bother me. Then the volume up key on the tablet stopped working and that kind of annoyed me. Then the charger stopped charging both the dock and the tablet and that was end of my using it altogether ... except that somehow the charger started working again on the tablet (and not the dock) so I could use it again. But now it's stopped charging the tablet once again.

I know I have to RMA this ****. Still have to find the receipts and packaging. Maybe I can ship it along with my Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard which never worked right from day 1 and has caused me endless grief. Yeah, Asus is pretty much my least favourite company right now...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
I love my transformer.

There was some light bleeding at the bottom by the buttons but for some reason the other day it vanished. I have installed the Asus case that has the tapered edge and flap. Maybe the pressure is fixing it.

That with Prime 1.6, the thing is a beast. I'm out of town for work over the next 2 weeks. No reboots or weirdness. I have my PC laptop and my LG G2x setup with wifi sharing so my TF is grabbing internet from one of those devices.

It just works so good I'm afraid to flash it to a 3.2 rom.

Minor issues...

I have a little bit of light bleed, but it's only noticeable on black backgrounds, with dim ambient light, at certain angles. The speakers aren't as loud as I'd like, but I don't see how speakers that small could be louder. Overall I'm very pleased with mine, especially considering it's what, half as thick as the Thrive?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asdfuogh:
Not half as thick, but it does feel a lot thinner. It's because Asus designed the tablet to slant from thick (in the center) to thin (in the edge). It's so pretty :).
