First of all its not bricked. Second its your own fault that you messed up your phone. This process works fine if you know how to read for comprehension. No one here tricked you into trying to root your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
It is no ones fault but your own if you didn't read it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MartyLK:
Did you see the screenshot I posted? I read the effen manual and it explained all I needed to do. It explained what to prepare...my PC and all...and explained all I would need. In all of that there was no mention about any need for any passkey.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
We don't owe you support. We didn't exchange money for services with you or anyone else. We also are never responsible for anything you do to your phone, especially since you so obviously don't like reading instructions.

BUT, you obviously found the pass key already and are now acting like we broke your phone to make up for how much of an idiot people think you are now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Are you serious. I don't need to see you screen shot because I know what it says. I'm looking at it right now. Zelendel even posted word for word what it says about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
<martylk> I need a passkey

<martylk> The effen manual said nothjing about a passkey

<attn1> bull****

<attn1> you didnt read it

<martylk> but the command window wants me to input a passkey

<attn1> passkey >> martylk

<trixxie> martylk: Read the effen manual (do not skim) and you will find the pass key. It is in plain sight, and it's there to make you read.

* attn1 has kicked martylk from #aahkSupport (martylk)

^^ that is the first thing you see when you join our channel. Something you also didn't read.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
Sorry I do t like people trying to call out great developers that over support on the same stupid questions over and over again. This is the second time today I called someone out for not reading the manual as they were told to. It was not meant to help more to call him out for not reading. I personally thing after the way he acted in this thread he owes an apology to the devs and the support team.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bdpyo:
How much do you want for it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
I understand. There are like 8 people per day that ask for it in the irc. Can you edit your post so future people don't ctrl+f for it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] killersloth:
If there is no support, how can there be support people to treat you like dirt?

just sayin...

classic knuckleheadedness
[HTC Inspire 4G] HTC_Phone:
I completely understand the necessity of having the "Effen Manual" with the Hack Kit, keeping those people that have NO BUSINESS rooting away from the potential damage.

However

You can't create the manual in such a way that people WILL have questions. Yes. I get it. The Passkey info IS in the manual. But it is VERY inconspicuous. Everyone has problems. Everyone loses their way eventually. No need to dog on them because they had an issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
If attn1 wants to write it so that you have to read the whole thing then that's his right. This is a tool created and supported for free, he owes nobody anything. The pass key is very easy to find and the comments Martylk made where completely out of line and disrespectful. He was told by several people that it was in the manual well before he got rude and basically deserved the condesendig comments. His inability to figure it out is his problem and as far as I'm concerned if you can't figure out the pass key then you have no business rooting your phone. These forums are for capable people to gather and share information. It's not a site for people to come and be coddled because they want everyone to tell them how to do things instead of putting in the work to acheive something on their own.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pigphish:
exactly, no one has a right to someone else's time and efforts. It's a privilege and the least one could do is be grateful when nothing is asked for in return.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zelendel:
OK guys lets get back on topic. It has been made clear that he didn't read the manual and now its over. Please lets let it go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joshp406:
So, what exactly was the point of swapping out the zergRush exploit with the tacoroot exploit? it's been bugging me for a while.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I owe you no support. You can't read and follow directions, and yes - you were kicked. That you would be kicked has been documented - in the OP, and in the MOTD of the IRC channel. People who come in asking for the pass key are automatically kicked.

If you can't read that short manual and come away with the pass key, you need to do something else - it's that simple.

You have only yourself to blame. You did it - no one else.

Now, if you feel like apologizing for your boorish behavior, we'll help you recover your Inspire. We're like that; but not because we owe anyone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
zergRush was not swapped out. Tacoroot is only used to help downgrade devices where zergRush does not work. Zergrush is still used where it's most effective.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
Tacoroot is only used for versions that previously had no root exploit. I believe Vodafone DHD 3.13.161.3 is the only one using it right now. Every other version still uses zergrush.

HTC_Phone, It's not about stopping people from having questions. It's about stopping people from expecting us to run the kit for them. The sheer volume of people still asking for the pass key shows how many don't read all the instructions and expect us to walk them through running the kit. And shows how many people we had to spend extra time with, before the pass key was added... The number of users needing real help has decreased since the pass key was added, which gives us more time for attn1 to release new kits and other projects. Keep in mind, most of my friends in the IRC don't own an inspire anymore and I never owned one to begin with.

If you guys don't want the pass key, then become a steady member of our channel and help out when it gets busy, instead of complaining in this thread. MAYBE if that happens, I could get attn1 to remove the pass key, but no promises.
[HTC Inspire 4G] shad0wf0x:
Seems pretty simple to me, he didn't follow the directions that he DID read.

Here is an excerpt from the manual:

Preparation:

Read this ENTIRE manual - don't skim it. There is a quiz later.

That seems pretty simple to me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marvin02:
I searched, I read, I rooted.

Thanks to all who worked on this. I use this a few days ago to root my wife's Inspire.

The investment of the time to find this solution for rooting and to read the manual and this thread was well worth the return. It worked the first try and how hard or easy it is to use really depends on the user reading the instructions and doing the proper prep work.

To those who are thinking about using this - just pretend you are going to use it on your wife's phone and imagine the potential consequences if you mess up, then go read the effen manual again. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joshp406:
Edit: I went off topic.
[HTC Inspire 4G] voon:
(ignore ... it finally worked ... no idea why :) )
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dr.Raja:
finally managed to use the aahc successfully, the device is S-off and in clockrecovery mod. the problem it got stuck on a white screen with the green htc logo in the back...

even when i managed to flash a custom rom, the minute i choose to reboot the system this screen again, stuck...

i hope it's not bricked. . .

please help me with this matter, I'm helpless...
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Go to the IRC Channel...that is your best bet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Did you see S-OFF in hboot? If so, make sure you wipe data/factory reset in Clockworkmod. If not, put the phone in FASTBOOT USB and flash the GB RUU to restore it. And yeah, the aahkSupport channel is there if you're really stuck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] freestyle_gus:
A lovely piece of work, thanks!

RUU method didn't work for me but the zip method worked like a breeze.

It would be the perfect tool if it had ENG S-OFF, but I'm not greedy ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
ENG Hboot is Froyo. Froyo Hboots jam up booting on most devices shipped with Gingerbread - BADLY. No, ENG S-OFF would not make things better, but far worse. Been there/done that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] freestyle_gus:
I understand, I saw your comments about this much earlier in the thread. Mine is/was a Froyo build, so it would have been useful for me. But I agree it makes sense not to include it.

Thanks again for your hard work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Okay, so you can install ENG hboot easily on your Froyo- shipped ACE. Just pack it up and flash it PD98IMG style.
[HTC Inspire 4G] freestyle_gus:
Good point! I used another tool, but if I needed to do it again, that's good to know :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lifanus:
best kit ever developed for inspire 4g
[HTC Inspire 4G] mtnlion:
awesome tool.just read the effen manual! Reading=knowing and knowing is half the battle.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gregsarg:
How right you are....

I dont know if it's excitement, anticipation, or just a general hurry up situation that's causing folks to miss that ever so important reading step. But I gotta say, in the past 3 years of general hacking and modding up my phones, this Hack is by far the best one I've seen.

the manual isn't a trap, or an attempt at hanging folks up in the process, it simply forces the user to pay attention and follow the steps "exactly" as written.

I for one am greatful for a system that requires such attention to detail, as it ultimately means that Attn1, and his group, are serious about protecting "me" the average user, from bricking my brand new (I could'nt afford this) phone.

It's seamless, painless, and fast as He** if you follow the manual.

Attn1....you and the team are simply the best....without question....

P.S. I'd hit the thanks button 50 times if I could.

God Bless....g

Root new Inspire/Old one to ATT stock

OK guys hello, need some input please. Here's the deal, I have had a refurb/replacement Inspire shipped to me due to the fact that my GPS antenna on my original Inspire was faulty. That original was rooted using the Ace Kit, no problem. Now of course, I intend to root the new Inspire I just received.

ATT shipped the replacement device to me without an SD Card, of course, so I will be swapping my 32GB card out of the old and into the new...

Questions:

1. That SD Card was present in the old device when I originally rooted it months ago, is there an issue with using it again for the new phone? Anything I need to be aware of?

2. I now owe ATT my old device of course, so I intend to unroot/return to stock using Ace as well. Now, again, I will have to pop that same SD Card in the old device to do that, right? Issue with that, or a better way to ask it...is there a certain order I should do all this in?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
The SD card should not be an issue unless you have an PD98IMG image in it. The best bet to avoid troubles is to format it...make a copy of its contents to your PC and format. The SD card is fundamental for the goldcard creation.

To return to stock I guess it is just the same business although I have never run that process. Format SD card for both processes..hope it helps..
[HTC Inspire 4G] zcucurullo:
I´m getting a Android 1.0 driver error in XP and Windows 7. Hack it wont finish, goldcard is not created.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
You have an issue with your USB...have you uninstall the HTC Sync and drivers and install the drivers in the Hack Kit??

Make sure you uninstall or shut down every malware, antivirus, etc. as said in the effen manual...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Use a Linux Live Disc, Ubuntu being the easiest.

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Do as TX tells you...try changing SD card of format it before going ahead....if you are still stuck with ubuntu, then hit the irc channel.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
No need to format the sd, I just finished running the aahk on my wife's replacement w/all the data still on the card. I only recommend making a backup of the card as a best practices sop.

Saved and Texan by the grace of God, Redneck by choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] zcucurullo:
Fixed using new SD card, windows worked great, thank you!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
You're welcome....I experienced the same and solved it the same way!! enjoy your rooted cell!! :cool:

Best EFFIN tool.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itty:
Hi, this is my first post, hope I'm doing this right. I flashed and am rooted. The problem I'm having is I have downloaded 2 ROMS, RCMix.Energized and Virtuous Affinity v1.48, and put the zip file to the root of the gold card. When I go into CWM, choose to "install zip from SD card, then "choose zip from SD card", neither of the ROMs are there. I can see them using file explorer, and when connected to the computer as a HD, but none of the ROMs are showing up in CWM. Any help would be appreicated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thinkhope:
First off....many thanks to attn1 and his team for this wonderful tool. I'm sure its been said many times, but can't say it enough.

I successfully ran the kit a couple of days ago after almost a year of staying stock and I've flashed different roms. Can't believe I waited this long.

In the process of flashing my first ever rom, I completely forgot to make a backup of that stock rom after running the kit. So now I'm going to retrace my steps and return to stock and run the kit again. Before doing so, is there any useful tip someone wants to share? Whether it pertains to my SD card or my PC settings. Any help would be much appreciated. Once I get home, ill be giving the manual another thorough read. Thanks everyone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Sorry, this is about AAHK, not flashing custom ROMS. I'd like to keep the topic on AAHK.

do NOT return to stock for that.

It's so not necessaary.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itty:
Sorry, I should have been more clear... I rooted my Inspire 4 days ago, using AAHK, everything worked flawlessly (SUPER program!!), but now I am having the problem of CWM not showing any of the ROMs I put on the SD card. I have been researching for days, and can't find anyone having this same problem. The phone is rooted, I have CWM recovery seemingly working fine, have done 3 nan backups, have supreuser...But no ROMs zip files are showing on the SD card for some reason. Thanks again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
I don't think that is an issue of the Hack Kit. Whether your SD card is failing or you have problems mounting it. Are you using any other apps from it??
[HTC Inspire 4G] itty:
The SD card is working fine, as far as I can tell. If I turn the phone on and use any file explorer, they are both there, with the big blue ribbon, taunting me. I can also plug the phone into the comp and see all files including the ROM zips, and even while in CWM, I can see all the files on the SD, just the zips are missing?? The zip files are on the root of the SD, and everything as far as using apps and going into the SD files seems to be working fine. I can even unzip the files, using the phone or comp. I even tried going into recovery, doing the 3 wipes, and then going to the "choose from SD", but they still weren't there. I thought mabey it was just a glitch when AAHK installed CWM during rooting process, and I thought about using Rom Manager to update CWM.(Not sure if it's a good idea). I am fairly new to all this, I've rooted a Aria, and a gTablet, both were a cakewalk to this phone. I've googled every combo of this problem, and can't find anything relating to this problem. I was hopeing some others might have had the same thing happen, and knew of a fix. Thanks for any help- and 10 stars to this excellent Hack Kit.!!. I now have a rooted stock Rom Inspire, after a year of using stock!! But it would be nice to try some custom ROMs...
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
You were already clear. Let me be clear. User errors after the hack kit completes are off topic.

Again, this is clearly user error, and way off topic. Go ask in a general Q area. Better yet, go read about how people with similar user issues resolved them. If CWM is on your phone and you have S-OFF, then the hack kit has done it's job and you need to move on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] itty:
Sorry attn1, didn't mean to offend anyone, but glevitan left his last comment with a question, and I thought he was wanting to help. Since the CWM was installed by the kit, thought this was the correct place to ask (my bad). Thanks for the ***** slap and the push out the door...moving on. Like I said, I have researched this, and couldn't find anything on the web at all. I didn't just post for the fun of it. I'll keep looking. (elsewhere of course).
[HTC Inspire 4G] itty:
My apologies, once I did more research I finally found a fix. Sorry attn1, you have a superb kit here, and i thank you. Feels like I have a brand new phone. At least I didn't ask where the Effin Manual is...
[HTC Inspire 4G] TJinWV:
Help, where's the pass key?!

j/k - just wanted to report a successful root last night on my wife's Inspire. Things were a little sketchy there for a while. Something reported a Failure at the very end of run. Even though the process said complete, the phone would boot to the HTC screen then just fade to brown/black. I referred to the trusty ol' effen manual and figured I'd try toggling the flash method. With my wife breathing fire down my neck, it worked! I wish I could report better what failed, but I was more worried about getting her phone back together (ie, saving my life) than helping the community. :-/
[HTC Inspire 4G] gregski:
After reading....and rereading....and reading some more, I finally used the AAHK to root my Inspire yesterday. What a fantastic program! I will be donating because I recognize the work that went into it. I followed the effin manual to a tee and it worked flawlessly. Thanks again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] aristocrat51:
Success!!

Just wanted to drop by and say thanks for the great app. Ran it today and I flew threw the process in 5.5 minutes. The key is definately preparing your PC. I uninstalled my virus program, unplugged all un-necessary USB devices, installed the enclosed USB drivers, rebooted the old pc, turned off all un-necessary services and off I went....it is SO nice to have root.........thank you so much...donation on the way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bigmiketx:
when you go into recovery , install zip from SD, there is also install zip from internal, sometimes the internal and external get swapped by ROMs you might check for this and see if your zips are there under the CWM file.
[HTC Inspire 4G] roy8846:
How can you tell if your phone shipped with GB??

Thanks

Roy
[HTC Inspire 4G] dsmitty166:
Go to settings / about phone/ os version.

If its 2.3.Xx you have gb. If its 2.2.Xx you have froyo
[HTC Inspire 4G] roy8846:
Thats pretty obvious but isnt it important to know if your phone shipped with GB??

So I have been reading DO not downgrade to a Froyo version if your phone shipped with GB..

Couldnt the previous owner have updated it?? Any way to tell or can I just use the device anyway?? Warnings say no??

Thanks

Apologies if I'm wrong btw ;) , havent got my DHD yet but I will need to unlock it.

Do you need a sim in to do any of this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Just don't flash a froyo hboot and you have nothing to worry about. This includes Eng soff. There is no need for it and why run the risk. As to needing a sim card no, not needed during the process. Though lets get this out of the way now, not all carriers and sim cards play nice with unlocked devices. Their have been quite a few threads where people don't get it even after certifying simunlock. They believe that they don't have it unlocked because their sim doesn't work. But in reality its a sim/carrier issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Perfect reply.
[HTC Inspire 4G] roy8846:
Ok thanks , so you dont need eng s-off to flash a rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
No, with S-OFF you are able to flash roms, even changing radios with the PD98IMG method...:cool:
[HTC Inspire 4G] ccb04:
Thanks for the Guide!! Really easy set up..You may want to clear up the pass key part tho since its in the FAQ section. Other than that thanks a lot this was a breeze. :D

Quick question...How do you check if you are s-off? I'm sure I am but holding the volume down button and power isn't working
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
The pass key is where it is for a reason. This encourages reading the effin manual ENTIRELY before being able to proceed.

Make sure fastboot isn't enabled in your settings. If you're still having trouble you can reboot to bootloader with adb "adb reboot bootloader" and it will say radio ship s-off at the top
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
You obviously never really read the Effen Manual which contains the answer to your question, yet you criticize where you found the key required to make it work.

Just go away. Thanks linked to moronic criticism coupled with even more moronic questions is not appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
Thanks for a great tool! I rooted my Inspire with one of the older versions back when it came out. This has come such a long way. I have rooted 4 friends inspires and this is flawless. I don't get why people have trouble finding the passkey. It takes all of 15 minutes to read and understand the manual.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joshp406:
People are stupid, 'nuff said.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Miserry:
I could not agree more, This was stupid easy. All I did was READ THE EFFEN MANUAL...

Thank You for such a GREAT tool

I need some special memory size or can with any sd-card? i have 8gb and 16gb sd-cards, there is a problem, someone has to function with them.

works with stock gingerbread?

8 gb should be enough. I ran the process with a 512 kb SD. It supports Stock GB but make sure to follow the steps in the Effen Manual. READ!!
