[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
Hackers/kangers only!

I managed to get the OTA that HTC is currently sending down to Telus customers using the Canadian DHD. I patched it to the current Telus ROM an packaged it up for Inspire. This DHD is 100% compatible with the Inspire so this ROM works without any modifications to audio or graphics.

This is for experienced ROM users/developers and not intended for general use yet due to the new lib.img partitioning scheme. It will NOT work completely with ClockWorkMod recoveries. I don't know if there are any recovery images that mount and backup the new lib partition. We're working on a new recovery for this, but you'll need to manually backup/restore the lib partition after a CWM backup for now

This ROM installs a new HBOOT that WILL rearrange your partition table! If you istall this, you'll have to downgrade your hboot to install any older ROMs.

This is a PD98IMG installation zip and is only installable through your current bootloader. It WILL wipe out everything currently on your device by repartitioning the NAND memory to include the new lib.img partition. Backup!

This is the direction HTC is moving and it is already how the DHD WWE ROMs do things and if we see any Sense3 update to Inspire from AT&T, it will most likely have this partitioning scheme so it's a good idea to get used to it now.

If you've made it this far and still want to play with this, then be my guest, but I'm not going to assume any responsibility for anything that happens. As I've explained, it repartitions your device, deletes all existing data, and has an incomplete recovery (won't backup /system/lib).

I'm currently working on a more user oriented ROM that will incorporate a proper CWM recovery with bloat removed, etc. but it's a few days off.

This ROM is essentially the Telus ROM with a properly rooted system partition and a ro.secure=0 boot.img. It includes the radio and rcdata from the current Telus OTA (which works fine with Inspire). I've replaced the recovery image with a CWM recovery from the latest cyanogenmode kang source and it will do everything you need in a recovery EXCEPT backup the lib partition (I'm working with ATTN1 to modify CWM recovery to do this).

It is a PD98IMG style install and will not install from your current recovery. Download the file below, rename it to exactly PD98IMG.zip on your SDCard and reboot to hboot and follow the prompts. If you don't know how to do this, then you probably shouldn't be installing this ROM. It will install the new bootloader first, then reboot to the new bootloader to install the rest.
