Sorry, I was in the process of editing my post when you replied, and where I'm new I can't post more than once in 5mins. I wasn't sure if he was rooted or not, or had done any other upgrades. I didn't take your post as mean, I'm just learning and trying to help where I can.

I wasn't thinking things thru about what thread I was in when I replied. My apologies.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Homeboy76:
One Question: If you do a Wipe Data/Factory Reset and a Wipe Dalvik Cache on your HTC Inspire/Desire.

Can you flash any ROM you want to install even if you have the AT&T's HTC Inspire with the new update (3.20.502.52)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
As long as your still s off yes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Homeboy76:
AHH!

I found a article [How To Gain S-OFF (Radio And Engineering) On HTC Desire HD by by Haroon Q. Raja] on the web that should help me turn S OFF.

Is there an easier way to turn S OFF?
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
if one has has s off any way to root device witout installing cmw recovery
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I wasn't aware you could get S-OFF without being rooted...? And is there a reason you don't want CWM recovery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
well don not use it....

s-off and root are different i think ( i am not expert )

so any way to do manual root with adb commands
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
They are different, but I thought you needed root to get S-OFF. But I know you can't root from ADB alone. I rooted with the Advanced Ace Hack Kit, but that roots, installs CWM, and does S-OFF. Are you saying that you don't have CWM, but want to root and don't mind installing CWM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Teichopsia:
I think all you hav le to do is install supersu or the other one to get root. Give it a shot to see what happens. Both in the store.

Sent from a dream.
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
does not work that way .....

superuser app requires root access for install.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
I believe he has root access, since he has S-OFF somehow. He just needs a custom recovery.

If Teichopsia's idea doesn't work, I believe you can fastboot a custom recovery from HBOOT. Check the guide linked on post 7 in the link in my signature.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
S off and root are different. S off is security off meaning you can flash things to your partitions such as custom ROMs, recovery, radios, etc. Root is basically making all parts of the ROM available for r/w access. The ROM itself is what is rooted not the phone. So since he does have s off then all he needs to do is flash recovery from aahk option menu and then install a custom ROM which is going to be rooted. There are guides to root your ROM with s off but IMO one should just install a rooted ROM. And if you already went through the process of gaining s off, why not just take advantage of the whole ROM flashing game, install recovery, and find a rom that suits your needs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
So it is theoretically possible to have S-OFF without root? I knew they were different, but I thought you needed root to get S-OFF.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Yep you can be s off without root. When you are s off nothing can disable it except returning to s on by the reverse process. Gaining s off is done by finding an exploit in the phone itself. The details of that are unknown to me and only a handful of people probably even understand that process such as attn1. You can even run an ruu which will flash stock hboot, recovery and everything but still remain s off. Even when your hboot says locked from flashing an ruu you will still remain s off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
actually i just want to root my stock installed rom ....

i do not want to have a custom rom or install new rooted rom ...

so any way to root a rom with out out installing cmw recovery ...

and all rooting exploits discovered till nov2011 have been closed in upcoming roms .....

so looking for a new exploit for rooting ............
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
What ROM are you running?
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
well

RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_ARA_3.13.415.2_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_227469

released in feb or march 2012

its not root able conventionally ,

but wwe edition released in nov2011 is easily root able

RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_HTC_WWE_3.12.405.1_R_Radio_12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M_release_233505
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You need an insecure boot image. Your already s off so that's the hard part. Here is a link to a UI to acheive this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=31137579

You could also run the extracted ROM.zip from that ruu through the kitchen,if you know how to use linux, to get an unsecure boot IMG and flash it yourself. Then you would just install superuser and maybe symlink a few files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
thanks a lot seems like its going to work .....

i had been searching and looking in forum for a long time this but could not get hands on it ......

thanks again ......
[HTC Inspire 4G] pflame64:
how do i get pass this problem?

Thats the message i get when i try to root the HTc inspire 4g.Any advice
[HTC Inspire 4G] commando0:
you need to quit htc sync and kill adb process then try again ....
[HTC Inspire 4G] Homeboy76:
I want to thank you ( yes I clicked the thank you button as many times as I could click it) for your ROM Gizmo V2 ((8/7/2012)New Att stock sense 3.0 (3.20.502.52) rooted) looking at what you did via dsixda's Kitchen gave me some ideas for cooking a ROM. I cooked one using kitchen in linux.

But, I am concerned I might have missed something. I used your ROM as a guide to root att stock sense, I removed the apk's I didn't want and added several I wanted on my phone. The following things are the cause of my concern: Was I suppose to keep the odex files? Several of the apk's in att rom have matching odex files. Was I supposed to delete the updater script and updater binary before cooking it? What is the difference between the whaterver.apk and the com.htc.whatever.apk?

Additionally, I wanted to PM you and blaz1nr to verify my tools (kitchen. android sdk, etc) for cooking a ROM were configured correctly. But being a junior member limits my capability to communicate my needs to the people that can help me.

Again, thanks for the excellent work you did on Gizmo V2.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
You don't have to get rid of the matching odex files but probably should anyways. What most devs do is deodex app and framework files. This frees up space and helps speed things up. Deodex turns the odex into classes.dex and places it into the apk. The update binary and update script are necassary so you leave those. The kitchen will convert update into an updater script when it builds. Framework-res.apk is the base framework file you will find in all android OS. Com.HTC.framework.apk is what HTC adds for sense functions. Both are necessary for sense. There are many other jar and apks as well that control various features of the phone. For your environment you need java installed. I use java 6. You also need to install a version of android from SDK by clicking on the android file in tools. When doing deodex or compiling apk you will need the right api for the version of android you are working with. Gingerbread is api level 10. There is much more but that should get you started. Also modifying the boot IMG is necessary if cooking the new att ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Homeboy76:
Thanks for the information. I think I need to do some more research on creating/cooking a ROM with kitchen. What file(s) must be modified in the boot.IMG file? I opened a boot.IMG file and there were 6 folders only the SBIN folder had files in it. Additionally, there were a lot of .rc files.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
HTC released a new hboot with the new ruu so you have to modify the init.spade.rc. at the top there is a section called emmc. Get rid of the three lines that have the word lib in them. They are grouped together and are easy to find. Doing just this and nothing else will make it at least boot on your device.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ezro:
Just rooted my Inspire. Thanks for the tuto!

What happens if I do a Factory reset? Do i have to use the aahk again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hallowed.mh:
If you just do a normal factory reset it shouldn't affect being s-off or rooted. I believe all it does is clear app and user data... it doesn't clear the boot partition, or completely wipe /system. Your ROM, whether it's custom or stock, won't be affected.

So no, you won't have to run aahk again... of course, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
If you mean a factory reset from recovery (CWM or 4ext), that only wipes /data and /cache (so yes, apps and their data). Your ROM will remain installed in /system.

If you mean a factory reset as in running a RUU, then you lose all of that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ezro:
I meant the first one. So, if i do it, will i still have root permission? just will have to install superuser and stuff, right?

I have no experience with this kind of rooting method, so I have a lot of questions. Thanks for your time and answers
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
You will still have root permission. If you installed a ROM or just ran AAHK, you will not need to reinstall SuperUser. It will basically be as if you had just clean-installed the ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ezro:
And the SD card can be formatted? It's an obvious question, but i gotta be sure of everything hahaha :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
If you want, you can format the sdcard. It wont affect root. I usually don't, since I have other data on there. I also back up my apps and Nandroids on the sdcard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hallowed.mh:
I usually don't format my SD for the same reasons, unless I'm having some kind of problem with it. If you do format your SD, make sure to back up anything you want to keep on your computer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Homeboy76:
Done ! Thanks ( Yes I clicked the THANKS button)
[HTC Inspire 4G] thejushinator:
Can you explain step 2 please, where is the /windows folder?
[HTC Inspire 4G] GrantB13:
Hey everyone. I'm wondering if this method will require active high speed internet, as I have dialup, or if I can download the necessary files before trying this root method on my Inspire. If I do need broadband on the computer I'm using, I'm sure I can make the changes I need.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
I have a small question. If my phone is on 2.3.3 and sense 2.1 will the hack kit need to downgrade it? if so, do i need to get a pcimg from somewhere? I just want to be 100% positive. thanks for any help
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Just read the manual in aahk it will explain it all. Also no downgrade is necessary for your version.

---------- Post added at 09:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

I wouldn't try it on dial up. I recommend making the necessary changes to get DSL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BAleR:
ok, and just making sure, will the hack kit unlock the radio to work on tmobile? thats what radio s-off is right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
No sim unlock is what does that but it does both so your good.
[HTC Inspire 4G] schweaty:
Took a little time, but I finally rooted and installed ICS this morning. Only problem I had was with the newest aahk not being able to extract, but I just used the download from your tutorial. Thanks for your help!

[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
That looks out of date to me. What convention is the name using? You should read,that first.

Ddmmyyy, that is the convention used...so 11092012 is newer than 12062012, Isn't it?

Er, did you read the big bold title on that page that clearly labels AAHK as retired? The server hosting the downgrade file that AAHK is looking for is gone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ofigenski:
I see it. But I supposed that tool is still usable. Tool is same, phones didn't changed too...

I'll be very glad if somebody will give me a link to guide that works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
The tool is the same, but the files it needs to download are gone. You can still root by unlocking your bootloader. You can try the Easy Ace Root Tool.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ofigenski:
Thanks. I'm reading carefully about Easy Ace Root Tool now.

But sim unlock is very important to me.

Now I'm trying to understand this guide: goo.gl/KMi1Y

But it is really hard because English is not my native language. As I understand I can get S-Off manually, doing all steps of this guide.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
Yes, you can try to get S-Off manually. Though you might have a hard time finding support.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ofigenski:
Yeah. Finally I decided to use Easy Ace Root Tool to be able to flash custom roms. For sim unlock I'll buy a code on Ebay. Manual S-Off is not worth the effort. Thanks for help.

The wifi DO turns on, and even it shows MAC address correctly. But it cannot detect any nearby routers, it keeps saying 'No nearby Wi-fi networks detected'. My GS2 can detect more than 10 routers in the same place.

Also bluetooth is not working too, even though I flashed another ROM, used ODIN to reset, and flashed custom ROM again.

I'm expecting it's the antenna problem or /efs problem, because imei/bt.txt and bluetooth/bt_addr are empty.

Is there possibility to be a software problem? Or should I pay $200 to make it fixed?(It's out of warranty.)

Hi,

which one do you think is the best from between those?

I had a Case-Mate Tough on my S2 and was fantastic, very good protection, but the 'upside-protection' was too close to the display and working near this zone was difficult. So now with my s3 I need a good case, the Hybrid lumi seems to be a good compromise, beautiful and protective (less than case-mate). The price is similar, what do you think? I watched some video review but user experience is better :highfive:
[Optimus One, P500, V General] :
As we know, the stock Gingerbread ROM shows the "Android"-logo while booting, if there isn't any bootanimation.zip.

The same with all other ROMs.

Here's a Guide, how to change that Android-logo, without creating a bootanimation.zip

I hope (and believe so!) u know what I mean

1. Get your framework-res.apk from your ROM

2. Decompille it using apktool

3. Open the folder, where the decompilled framework-res.apk is

4. Browse to /assets/images/

5. There's a picture, called android-logo-mask.png

6. Change that picture

7. Compille

8. Sign

Done!

Please press THANKS, instead saying thanks.

Hi,

I'm planning to develop a voice recognition technology that requires minimal effort for programmers to integrate into their mobile applications (Minimal to no coding at all).

The technology will also have a user adaptation model that allows it to customise itself to the user's voice and speech patterns.

Are there other problems you would like solved or features you want implemented in voice recognition technologies?

Do help me complete a short survey (9 questions only!!!) to share your views?

Survey link: edu.surveygizmo.com/s3/1000018/Voice-activation-apps

All survey participants will get a free trial of the product if this project comes to fruition.

Thank you for your valuable feedbacks.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wbgenetic:
pls delete this

btw couldn't get a real root ...

i seem to have root but not working properly ... titanium wont get root privileges for example ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
hi guys,

for me it is still working fine as done in the thread above, just post your errors and I will try to look into it. NO SD Card issues at all. got this phone on friday morning and rooted it on friday at around 10pm.

Class 10 SD Card is much faster then with my old defy, when reading an writing files to the phone when it is connected to pc.

Titanium backup running fine....

Something to consider:

1. You need to extract the SU file and Superuser.apk from the zip file and install it via ADB, not push the whole zip via ADB.

2. Did you really unlock the bootloader as described on the sony pages?

3. Is the Android SDK and the modified SONY USB Driver installed correctly? the Dirver installation to get the phone into fastboot correctly was a bit frustrating.
