[HTC Inspire 4G] Jonnyredcorn:
So I've been debating posting this for 2 days now for worries of being called illiterate and an idiot but this is a last ditch attempt at trying to understand the rooting process for the inspire for the sake of my sister who actually owns the device and wants it rooted and a custom ROM for a possible increase in battery life & performance possibly from a ICS ROM :) I personally have a Samsung gs2 & galaxy tab 10.1 and am proficient in rooting and flashing stuff on those devices, but after reading for the past few days I'very come to find out that that knowledge in no way helps me here.

What I'm trying to do is root my sisters AT&T Inspire and more than likely put a customer ROM on it.

I have read a lot of stuff here and have seen a lot of terms that are not in the Samsung world of hackory such as RUU, gold card, s-off, and hboot.

So far what I understand is a gold card is a micro sdcard that is used to gain root. I was looking at using the ace hack kit, but after reading the first few pages of the thread it seems people are having problems making the goldcard, and frankly I'm having a hard time comprehending all the stuff that seems to be in solved in this process.

So basically what I'm asking is for someone to give me a summary of what is needed to be done in order to gain root and flash custom firmware on a ATT inspire that shipped with 2.3.3. If you are just gonna tell me to go read save the bandwidth and don't bother replying as I have read. I don't want to mess up her phone as she is 17 and is her lifeblood.

I realize what I'm asking is what everyone frowns upon in the xda but I haven't been able to get what I need from reading sporadic posts in threads and the sticky in the section that has a link to a rooting guide is dead. But my sister is only in town for a short while while on spring break that's why I'm in need of help fast and can't spend more time researching.

Happy Easter everyone and please help :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Just use the advanced ace hack kit, its the only game in town. Just make sure you read the first post and the included manual. You need to have your system setup properly. If setup properly you'll be rooted in under 10min.

As to the goldcard it depends on the SD card used. Sometimes for what ever reason one wont work. All one can do is try a different one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] heathroi:
link to advanced hack kit works for me - got through the thread and read the manual seriously read the manual and of course dev can be contacted through irc channel. i was in similar position when i came to inspire after jb iphones but once you do it you'll wonder what the fuss was over.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jonnyredcorn:
Yeah I had a similar gut feeling when I was learning to root my galaxy s2 and once I rooted it I was like wow really that's it? I spent 2 weeks reading just about everything about it and I felt pretty comfortable doing it when I did it. However after reading and trying to figure this stuff out I still feel lost. I just can't seem to comprehend the info.

There doesn't seem to be a good thread that goes over the terms used in the process. I'm sure I could follow instructions but I like to know what I'm doing and no just blindly following instructions, so if something goes wrong I can have an idea on what's going on. Im even more nervous because its not my device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Its not as complicated as it seams just different terms used. Like how iPhones jailbreak while we root.

Ruu-stands for rom utility update. It is a self contained program to flash stock firmware. In the gs2 I believe you guys use Odin/kies to flash stock images.

Soff- our devices come as son mebaing security on. This prevents us from flashing a custom recovery,radio,any ruu.

Once we gain soff we pretty much can do anything flashing wise.

Hboot- this is our bootloader.

Gold card- is only used once, and that's during the rooting process. The kit makes your SD card into a gold card to help flash necessary files to gain soff and root
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jonnyredcorn:
I'm gonna try to use the ace hack kit now....hope all goes well. I have a 2gb microsd card that I'm gonna use for the gold card.

EDIT: So I forgot my laptop power cord at my apartment and I'm at my aunts for Easter dinner so I'll have to do it later. Gives me more time to try and get this stuff :)

So if I understand correctly the ace hack kit does the whole rooting process as well as flashing a kernel repacked with cwm? The ace hack kit does the goldcard process for me? I was thinking of running the hack kit with my freshly formatted 2gb card do her data doesn't get erased, even though I guess it doesn't matter since I have everything backed up on my PC.

After I finish using the hack kit and I'm rooted w/ cwm I can flash ROMs from cwm without doing anything else correct?

I really appreciate you guys taking the time out of your holiday to help me out with this very basic stuff, its just I can't comprehend the info, and when rooting my gs2 there was an excellent step by step thread that explained everything and gave very detailed instructions on how and why you're doing what is said.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Well if you are still debating, just follow commands in the manual. A clean environment is a must and the only preparation that the Kit needs...if you are using a non corrupted sdcard and a clean environment then you should be rooted in less than 5 minutes
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jonnyredcorn:
I'll be using a windows 7 laptop I have uninstalled avast antivirus and killed the window defender process. I don't see anything else that is required.

Also, any recommendations for ROM/Kernel combos? I'm looking for stability and battery life with everything working(mainly camera and hspa+) I was thinking of the Aospx ics ROM because AOSP ICS is amazing :) I'm running AOKP on my gs2 and my phone could not run better and battery is incredible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
It will depend on the use that your sis gives to the phone and if she likes sense or also. I am using coredroid and is awesome but might not be to her...the best bet is to try as many roms and then choose. Make sure if you flash a kernel that is the correct for that Rom. AOSP Kernels do not work with sense roms...

Windows 7 should work fine with the kit....if you get stuck hit the IRC channel and we will lend you a hand. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jonnyredcorn:
Thanks for the input! My sister doesn't really care about sense or anything...she probably doesn't even know what sense is. She just uses her phone for social networking(ie Facebook, twitter) and she plays games like scramble w/ friends and who knows what else), and texting A LOT. She needs a working camera(at least for pictures, I understand camcorder doesn't work on asopx) A sense ROM or non-sense ROM, it doesn't matter. Me personally I like the AOSP UI but again the phones not for me. I just want stability & great battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jonnyredcorn:
So I ran the hack kit, and it worked flawlessly. I cannot believe how easy it was! Easier than rooting my gs2! I ran it on my win7 laptop...uninstalled Avast antivirus and cleared all unnecessary processes. After it was done I flashed AOKP and now her phone is running as good as my gs2. Thanks guys for your help! I just needed that little bit of confidence boost. I was in the IRC chan and Omega helped me a bit...so big thanks to him. The EFFIN Manual couldn't have been more clear.

[HTC One X] Sybregunne:
Most of us want to remove bloatware, so we root our devices. But for those who don't want to root just yet (like me), you can disable unwanted apps. It's would still be there but frozen or inactive. Best of all you won't receive updates notifications for it.

Here are the steps...

1. Go to settings - apps

2. Select the all apps tab

3. Click on the specific app.

4. If it's an updated system app click unintelligible updates. If not click disable.

Hope this helps someone. B-)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahaha118:
Following the unveiling of Optimus 3D from LG, or the EVO 3D from HTC, Sharp announced the upcoming availability of Aquos SH-12C, a handset packing dual cameras on the back, capable of shooting in 3D.

But first thing first. The new mobile phone from Sharp is powered by Google's latest Android flavor for smartphones, namely Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

The handset also includes a Qualcomm MSM8255 chip, with the processor clocked in at 1.4GHz, which should provide it with great performance levels, and which is complemented by 512MB of RAM.

Moreover, the handset would arrive on shelves with a 4.2-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a qHD (540 x 960 pixels) resolution, with glasses-free 3D capabilities.

On the back, the mobile phone would include dual cameras of eight megapixels for 2D and 3D video and picture capturing.

The specifications list of the new device would also include 2GB of ROM, and a microSD memory card slot with support for additional storage space.

At the same time, the device is expected to arrive on shelves with HSDPA 14Mpbs connectivity capabilities, complemented by WiFi and Bluetooth, HDMI port, and built-in GPS receiver.

It might also include an infrared port, a popular feature on handsets released in Japan.

The Sharp Aquos SH-12C is expected to arrive on the market in Japan on the airwaves of NTT DoCoMo starting with May 20. No info on its possible arrival in other markets around the world emerged for the time being.

Sharp also announced that the new mobile phone would hit the shelves in two color versions, and that it would sport the TapFlow UI on top of the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system.

The Sharp Aquos SH-12C measures 64 x 127 x 11.9mm (13.8mm at its thicker point) and weighs in at 138 grams.

Hi To All,

I apologize for the maybe redundant question this forum doesn't have a lot of help/assistance. Coming from the senastion there was/is always someone ready to give help/advice. I bought the Samsung Galaxy S II T-989 yesterday and I am looking for help/direction to be able to flash BLACKEDITION FOR THE SGS2 4-3-2012-ICS.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] capcanuck:
Make sure you wipe VERY THOROUGHLY! Use the super darkside wipe that can be found in our dev forums. Then flash. If you get bootloops, or get stuck at the boot screen for a crazy long time rewipe and try again. Remember that even on a successful flash it WILL hang on the samsung screen for quite a while. PM me if you need more help, sadly help is hard to come by around here.

Hi to all,

I am posting the link for a cwm as closest to stock for the european atrix (nordics greece), with bootloader unlocked, rooted, mem and battery fix. It's as close to stock with the aforementioned modifications. I thought this cwm

may be helpful to fruitcakes (they were missing the european ones) or anybody who want to revert to unlocked,rooted stock.

The process I followed was the following:

1.	Flash from 2.3.6 based rom to stock 2.3.4 of the european sbf (nordics and greece) 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU (kindly uploaded by haki.gr)

2.	unlock (intl fix 1)

3.	install romracer's cwm

4.	rooting with root_cwm.img

5.	memory fix with ramfix.img, and

6.	battery fix with jug6 fix2.img

7.	cwm full backup (including webtop) and upload

Information (reading from the phone)

System version 45.31.20.MB860.NonEGIGSRetail.en.EU

Android version 2.3.4

Baseband N_01.100.00R

My whole reason for rooting was to get the Google Play / Android Market working and obtain some apps not avail through Amazon.
