No way to root without downgrade

Henceforth why postings in the forum warned about the upgrade. In order to root you have to revert to Sense 2.1 (the update was to Sense 3.0). Thus far you cannot "have your cake and eat it too" with this ROM upgrade. So if you want to be rooted to kill AT&T bloatware, kill the update. ROMS with a newer version of GB and Sense have been out much longer than this "update". Revert, Root, Custom Rom and you can have any flavor of cake you want and eat as well. :p

[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Mind sharing what you did in the kitchen. Still can't figure out why my version has wifi issues

Here's what I did. Setup my folder then just added root,busy box,run parts. Extracted the boot image and removed the three lines for mounting the lib partition.

Then built it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
I did the same by removing the three lines in init.spade. I then noticed the system partition was too big so I enabled the /data/app option and moved about 45 mb of apps I thought would be safe moving. I also removed the att address book and all bloatware. I then rooted it and then cooked it. I think the last part of your app folder wasn't getting written leaving out important WiFi apks.

I'm uploading it to my dropbox now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Hmm. I deleted deleted a few apps as well,and moved a couple. Don't run sense so wasn't sure what was safe to remove/move. Before rebooting from recovery I checked the info and it said I had free space still available in my system partition. So i assumed i had moved /deleted enough But will compare to yours.

Can't believe sense is this large,can only imagine how big ics would have been

[HTC Inspire 4G] mustafu:
I thought I was s-on because I selected that option in the hack kit, but I guess it didn't stick, I was still s-off. Thank goodness, because that new stock ROM was developing problems already. I downgraded by flashing an older GB ROM as a PD98IMG and re ran the hack kit, was on my merry way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Phateless:
You didn't need to do that.

Once you flash the new ruu, just flash a recovery via pd98img.zip and then flash whatever rom you want.

All one has to do is rename the file and that's it? It seems we can flash pretty much anything that way.

[HTC Inspire 4G] firemanjj82:

I am currently stock gingerbread + rooted with ACE Hack Kit on my Inspire. My preference is to upgrade to the new stock 3.20.502.52 and remain rooted. Already flashed the radio but want sense 3.0. I saw that accepting the OTA update = bad. I am open to using Gizmoe's rom but I was really hoping to stay as close to stock as possible (personal preference here). I would go back to full stock but I do need to root because I am using the "WIFI Tether" app to create personal hotspot.

Any thoughts beyond using Gizmoe's slightly modified stock rom?

Thanks Teichopsia. I did read the whole thread and realized there was the route you were going trying to learn the "kitchen". I was hoping there was some non-kitchen method closer to stock just so I could maintain maximum stability, like how you flash the radio update using stock files from HTC. Tweaked roms can be great, but with the amount I depend on my phone I would rather curse out HTC rather than the custom rom when something does not work right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I don't understand your closer to stock comment regarding the kitchen. The user controls what the kitchen does or does not do.

If you simply want root then just add root privileges and built it.

radio flash problem

I'm stuck at the white htc screen after flashing the radio, and pulling the battery is the only way out. I followed the instructions in this thread and the update process seemed to go fine.

HBOOT displays the new radio version and I can access recovery as long as I delete PD98IMG.zip from the sdcard. I tried flashing a newer rom (CM7), newer RIL, and downgrading the radio (version doesn't change) with no success. I haven't tried anything extreme like a factory reset or wipe.

Does anyone know what went wrong? I want to avoid a wipe/reset and am also curious about the cause of the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
For one, it was the ril

Two, you do need to full wipe between roms. Dont do the factory reset thats in hboot. That will mess up your phone.

Do the full wipe from recovery.

Wipe data/factory reset

Wioe dalvik

Format all partitions except sd card.

After you do that, if you still want the radio you can flash it as long as you understand what you are doing. (Ok, so the downgrade of the radio didn't work - dont worry about that)

Edit: rils are for sense roms. You can test them out only in sense. Non sense roms have a standard ril.

Sent from a dream.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Agreed. If all you need is the Rom then just extract it from the ruu and run it through kitchen to turn it into something custom recovery will recognize. You dont even have to add root if you don't want to. Couldn't be any closer to stock that way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gapr:
solution to boot problem after radio flash

After much experimentation I have found a minimally invasive method of restoring boot function or "stuck on htc white screen" after updating to the 26.17.14.11_M radio.

1. Pop sd card loose. Boot into hboot push card back in and then select recovery. (Thanks to Gizmoe for this method)

2. Once in recovery, select "Wipe /cache partition", then reboot. Your phone should now boot properly.

This method may work for other problems if recovery displays error messages like "can't do such and such with /cache". It seems that the radio update, at least in my case, trashes /cache somehow. It does this every time I run the update. It is not a problem with the PD98IMG.zip update method since I used it to update hboot and some other things from the new at&t rom without problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
An easier method would be to remove bottom cover. Pop sd card loose. Boot into hboot push card back in and then select recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gapr:
Thanks, I knew there had to be an easier way. I'm adding this to my post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mschmid4:
Thanks Gizmoe and marsdta. I am not familiar with the kitchen but was assuming it made changes (if only minor) when rebuilding the ROM. Honestly Gizmoe I will just go with your build, not sure my work in the kitchen could be an improvement on what you have done. Thanks for your hard work.

Since the kitchen is unavoidable it sounds like, my only other option might be to see if the ACE Hack Kit gets updated for the new rom, then I could return to stock and reroot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cee43ja1:
ClearD has posted a stock rooted rom in the ClearDroid thread. no tweaks or anything; bloatware still included.

Best way to backup before update

ATT sent me their message about updating my Inspire. However, I have been reading on the ATT forums that some people are having problems afterwards, such as loss of contacts, SMS showing only numbers instead of names, camera loss, etc. Anyway, I will probably do this update, but I want to back up everything first.

What is the best way to back up everything?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Vanillalite:
My GF just updated over the weekend, and she's a non techie who hasn't rooted. The #1 thing she liked was it finally fixed the contacts being broken bug where #s wouldn't sync up to contacts. So when you got a text it would just display a number and not the person's name. Something like GoSMS still worked, but the stock stuff was broken. They fixed that with this update finally.

Also some people have said they've seen increased battery life, but that always ends up being very YMMV.

The battery life is indeed better. New radio is probably why.

Total opposite story for me

Can i downgrade with "RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_" (Stock, 2.2)after the 2.3.5 would it possibly brick? Reason i am doing this is because the new 2.3.5 FW and Sense is killing my poor battery over night (charge it up full before bed, wake up to a completely killed device). And it this has only happened since the update, so it has to be software related not hardware related. Anyone else having issues out there with battery life????
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
If you read the thread, even the last post, you would see nothing but better battery life from users. There is definitely something wrong with your setup. You need to wipe everything and reinstall and don't restore any data. Something is draining your battery and you need to hunt it down. It's not the Rom itself because I can go to sleep and wake up with 97% battery left.

You should read the hack kit, but I think it would be better to root first. After you're rooted, you're going to have to do a clean wipe anyway before you flash a ROM so you might as well do that first.

I guess, firstly I will root my phone, after that I will install rooted stock rom or ICS roms .

Thanks for the information, I hope it increases the phones capabilities.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JTM65:
This "update" is what caused me to finally root. I had horrible performance after and it is much harder to root after the update is installed. IMHO skip the RUU and root. Then you can try one of the ROMs that are from the update. I'm running Gizmod's and it seems much better than the RUU. One strange issue I've had with the RUU and the ROM is my in call ear speaker volume is crap now. I did not have this issue before the update, RUU and ROM both have the same issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Several users have reported this issue and I'm not sure what it is in the update that seems to affect only some devices as not everyone has this issue. I recommend using an app like volume+ to boost the speaker volume to a desirable level. Level 6-10 boost seems plenty loud enough so give that a shot if you want to stick with the Rom.

Update killed my Inspire.

Hope no one else if having this problem and if anyone has a solution I would appreciate it, but ever since I updated a few weeks ago my phone is junk. Slow to respond if it does at all, battery only lasts around 8 hours and most of the time when I get a phone call I can answer and talk but cannot hang up and then the phone locks up and usually reboots. Do I need to wipe it and start over? I have installed and deleted a bunch of apps so there is no telling what has built up. What is the best way to wipe and not lose my contacts? It is completely stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Just make sure contacts are syncing with google and then download the ruu from HTC website and install. It will wipe everything for you and start fresh. When you re enter your google info all your contacts, settings and apps will sync back but you will lose app data. The update option probably caused issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JTM65:
Hi Gizmoe, thanks again for the ROM you cooked. I still had crappy in call volume, with your ROM, which makes sense since it is based on the RUU that gave me the issue to start with. Volume+ can not change in call volume, that is a Kernel issue, but there is a patch out there that improves the sound quality. It seems that the Inspire has a noise cancelling capability that was always a bit wiggy from the beginning. If you apply the patch it does away with that and improves the sound quality, but not volume. I'm going to see if I can find a ROM that has sound boost for call volume that works with the Sense ROMs and try it with your ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=972725
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Sounds good. You could also try the bd ace kernel but I'm not sure if it will improve in call volume. There is a link to it in my Rom op. If you do find a way to mod the existing kernel keep me posted. I know how to split and modify it so j can implement it if I know exactly how.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JTM65:
Let me see if I can find the specific info on what is changed for the in call volume boost. It may be a while though. I am going out of town for a couple weeks on business.
