[HTC Inspire 4G] ivan13:
First of all, I'm a TOTAL noob, I've been reading a lot and I've got further than I thought I would and I have learned A LOT.

Now, for my problem I've searched and read several threads but I can't find a solution that is suitable.

I'll describe what I've done so far and the results, I'm trying to be as explicit and specific as possible, so please read the whole thing:

1 - Got an Inspire 4G with Gingerbread, I got it unlocked (i.e. works with other carriers, like TELCEL) in Mexico, which is where I live.

2 - I checked to see if it was rooted or S-OFF'd and it wasn't.

3 - Used the Ace Hack Kit to root it (Successful)

4 - Installed Android Revolution 7.0.3 using Clockwork (Successful)

5 - In the ROM thread it says it's recommended to flash the radio to 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M, which I tried to do and that's where my problems started.

I downloaded a ZIP file that contains the following files:

- adb.exe

- AdbWinApi.dll

- AdbWinUsbApi.dll

- fastboot.exe

- guide.txt

- radio.img

I followed the instructions but I got an error, the error was very early in the process so the phone had no modifications done to it. I searched the forums and I found one that said that ENG S-OFF had to be done, so I found the CoreDroid thread and it says to use "easy S-OFF.zip" to do just that.

I ran the application and when I clicked the button to do it, my phone shut down.

I removed the battery, the sd card and every other thing I found on the forums to no avail. I thought I had bricked it.

Then, after 7 or 8 minutes it would turn itself on, show the white HTC screen for 3 minutes (while vibrating non-stop) and then it would boot into ARHD.

Everything seemed to work, but the phone wasn't detecting the SD card, so I formatted it to FAT32 (slow format) and the phone detects the card again, BUT every time I turn it off, or try to reboot it, it will do that (nothing for 7 minutes, then HTC white screen with vibration, then boot into ARHD).

I found in other threads that it might be a corrupted hboot, and that I needed to flash it with an RUU. I tried that, didn't work. The stock RUUs that I downloaded are the following:

RUU_ACE_CINGULAR_US_1.80.502.3_Radio_12.39.60.19_26.06.04.06_M_release_166557_signed.exe

RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe

The would run and connect to the phone, but I would get error 155 I believe, that said to "get the correct ROM for the phone".

Of course, I can't get into recovery mode or into clockwork, because pressing the volume rocker + power does nothing, just does the long-ass-vibrating-weird-boot as described above.

Continuing my search in the forums, I found that I could RUU to return the phone to stock (and re-do the whole thing later) using the ace hack kit, which is where I'm at now.

I plugged the phone to the PC (charge mode), ran the AHK, selected the option to back to stock, selected ATT GINGERBREAD, and the RUU started to download.

After the RUU was downloaded, AHK asked to confirm if I wanted to FLASH RUU: YES, and SET S-ON: YES, so I did.

The first thing it did was to reboot the phone, but of course, it wouldn't boot normally, so it stayed dead for 7 minutes, then turned itself on, vibrated for a while, and then showed a black HTC screen.

The AHK said:

Erasing the cache: OKAY

Be patient sending update...

Sending ZIP (15824 KB): OKAY

Writing zip...

And that's where it got stuck, and still is after more than 1 hour.

I don't know if I should unplug it or to do what, and the phone is getting warm because the screen has been on all along (I've put a fan next to it)

Can you help me? :(

Thanks and sorry for the long post.
