My guess would be you have a dirty PC environment...

shut down your virus detection software (PC), as the hack kit can be seen as a virus during the hack process, and be bound during the hack. Also, use a "main" USB connection port. not a front panel port.

The manual is very clear on this point, and the kit will run flawlessly with the proper PC environment and a clean hack kit download.

Once you are certain that your PC is ready to run the kit again...go to the IRC channel located in the signature line on attn1's post, and "kindly" ask for some support from the group that invented this amazing tool.

I'm sorry that you are having trouble, and I know that the IRC folks can help....g
[HTC Inspire 4G] masri1987:
I've tried this tool, i am an administrator on my computer and i ran it as an administrator and immedietly it's telling me i'm not, any clues?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
Being an admin does not mean you're running programs as admin.

Shift+Enter on cmd.exe
[HTC Inspire 4G] ac3kill:
can someone please tell me what the pass key is to start the freaking process please

yes i read the manual over and over and cant find it

this will be my 5th time to downgrade my phone so i know what im doing just got a replacement phone bout to hack and cant remember what it is or cant seem to find it please help

everything else is set

clean windows debugging on fast boot off
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
No. No one knows what the pass key is. It's different for everyone and you need to find it yourself.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Horse crap. How to get the passkey is in the manual and it's clear.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:

[HTC Inspire 4G] greek_lover_69:
i just love the answers... :D still dont agree on ONLY CM7!!! there is a lot o really GOOD stuff out there!! ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
The point isn't to agree. The point is that we do this to have a choice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thex:
Just another success story.

I just wanted to record another success. Thanks for the kit and instructions. Everything went without a hitch using Win7 PC.

Now, just waiting for some DESIRE ICS.

Thanks!

2 things:

How do you use the freenode IRC? Can't figure out how to type in a message.

Second, maybe I can get an answer on here. I went back to stock and was trying to root again. Part way through it stopped, it said be patient, but after waiting 20 minutes I figured that was enough. So long story short, my phone won't reboot. Just sits at white HTC screen. I can go into bootloader and all but that is it.

Thanks.

The web version has a bar at the bottom that you can type in. The chat will update as people chat or other system messages post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evronetwork:
Hi there,

Long time ago I got two Desire HD's. One for me and one for my girlfriend, I rooted mine about a week after receiving it to my hands. My phone was rooted very easily with "aahk-13012012" <-- latest at that time, it needed downgrading but that wasn't a problem.

Now my girlfriend wants to root her phone, I'm trying for hours(yeah hours :P) to root her phone but no luck what so ever. Its running 3.12.405.1 as mine back then, and its having HTC Sense 3.0 so when I try to downgrade through ace hack its always returns a "main version is older" this phone <-- doesn't seem to like downgrading as my phone did :(.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
Disable your anti virus before downloading and extracting the kit.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evronetwork:
Probably I'll try to uninstall it ..to give it a shot

(its disabled, in every possible angle)

P.S. My daily job is a computer repair technician, but I consider myself a noob when we are talking about android heheh
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
Usually that error is from your anti virus removing Zergrush from the /tools/bin folder.

If it's there and it still don't work, then use a new sdcard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] evronetwork:
You mean an a/v on the phone? if yes, no A/V is running on the phone

P.S. I uninstalled the a/v on this computer (one good that comes with the job is the choice of multiple computers, so I moved to a different one.. and I'll try again with the same procedure)

---------- Post added at 10:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

damn...it was the antivirus

So if someone has "Symantec Endpoint Protection" disable it doesn't work! (even if you check all the parameters ace hack would still not work properly)

Uninstall it before the ace hack and it would be just fine :victory:

P.S. thanks Anthony1s for the tip, it never occur to me that the A/V because it was supposedly disabled
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
No problem
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
(asked in DHD thread and got no answer so travelled here :D)

my friend uses the tool

it says :

E:can not open /cache/recovery/command

is there any problem with the SD card?

he has formatted the SD and still no luck
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
That's normal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
thanks

he says after vol up +power the screen goes blue and he clicks reboot (by pressing power button)

the phone reboots and nothing has been changed!

what's going wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
What is he trying to do? I don't ever remember there being a need to boot using volume up and power. The kit is pretty clear on its procedure
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
he wants to root the device my friend

yes I know and this is the reason I ask
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
You press volume + during the downgrade. If he needs help, he can ask himself in our channel. Asking through people is frustrating.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Oxicottin:
Return to stock

Ok, im sorry if this has been answered but I cant find it. I wanted to go back to stock due to problems I been having and wanted to use my crappy AT&T insurance to get it fixed. My inspire came with Froyo but I update to gingerbread threw AT&T OTA updates. How do I return to stock and would I have to go back to froyo or can I go to gingerbread. I used the newest Hack Kit to root ect. "Awesome easy App".

Thanks,

Soggy
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
If you updated to gingerbread then you are safe to use the Gingerbread RUU etc with no problems, just use the kit and click on the return to stock option
[HTC Inspire 4G] Oxicottin:
If i return to stock it will remove all traces of root ect, right?

Thanks,

Soggy
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Yes, that will flash a stock RUU and you will be as out of the box in the case of AT&T Inspire. S-OFF will remain unless you choose to revert to S-ON.
[HTC Inspire 4G] monkeybone12:
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
hello

i was planning to get HTC Inspire

This tool is seem amazing

but i have one noob question

the screen shot show it can hack ace and also have option to unlock sim

can it do something for Inspire and is it 100% safe ?

i have heard if v enter wrong unlock code 3 time phone get permanently locked
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
Why would he post a screen shot, mention it in the op and manual if it couldn't do that for the inspire? Yes it sim unlocks. Is it safe yes as long as you are not lazy and properly follow the manual. And even then ive yet to see a brick caused by this tool.

I'm going to jump the gun just in case you didn't know. But based on you profile you are not in the US. you know you will not get 3g with the inspire in your country nothing you can do about it, bit that's an off topic so I'll leave it at that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
first thanks for answering my questions

honestly u can jump on what ever u like :good:

yes my country doesn't have 3g and its 2g sucks.More over Inspire is not available in my country. i DONT care first i use to have mytouch 4g now i will get Inspire 4G then ONE X (the one which have 4g :eek: ). BECAUSE i dont care.

but thanks for ur answer

i was just taking precautions as i lost my dear phone
[HTC Inspire 4G] timesarchangel:
This is my situation. I have an Inspire 4G (as do most of us on this forum topic..) I purchased the device off of craigslist in January and its in great condition with the box and 8gb sd card for 120$ so not a bad deal, but anyways. I used the ACE Hack to root and unlock my phone. The root worked great, and as well as my previous phones i went ahead and tried different roms and kernals and such. But no matter which Rom I have tried from 2.3.5 to 7.0.4 when I place a non att-sim card into the phone it is unable to grab a signal. I try going to manually search for a network and it says error while searching for network. So i was kinda disappointed, but thought I may had done something wrong. ** This all has been months down the road when I got the chance to try a different sim** I ran ACE again and bricked my phone so I could only get into bootloader. I successfully used HTC Software to fully restore my phone back to ATT original software and such. Then when about an used ACE tool another time. This time around I am having the same issue when trying to search for available networks with a non-att sim. Here is what my bootloader at least the top section appears.

***** AAHK *****

ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.85.2425

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.10.04.03_M

eMMC-boot

Apr 12 2011.00:55:45

As far as I am aware I am using the newest offical release of a ATT Radio for the Inspire 4G. I was thinking of trying a newer radio that is posted on the radio section that was from the DHD, but would really like some input first before I do so.:confused:

Any thoughts about this? Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
Timesarchangel, signal strength has nothing to do with the Hack Kit. Not all the carriers are supported with Simunlock, and that is Carrier related. Make sure that the back cover (where the Sim and sdcard) is on when u boot the phone, because that is where the antenna is. The Hack Kit has worked for you as you are S-OFF already.
[HTC Inspire 4G] timesarchangel:
I am aware of multiple carriers in my area for example Straight Talk and Tmobile. A good friend uses his Iphone 3gs which is unlocked on Straight Talk. My concern is when I place another sim-card in the phone it is unable to search for other networks, and when I go into settings then mobile networks and try to search for networks it just says "Error while searching for networks" When I have an AT&T Sim card in the phone it is able to search for networks, but only comes up with AT&T. I have had many unlocked HTC Phones in the past, and I am just stumbled. Would it do any harm if I updated to the newer released radio that was for DHD? 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
The radio change won't do anything. Just because your simunlock doesn't guarantee any sim will work. I just switch to straight talk and it works fine on my inspire BUT I've had instances with with my old phone where my sisters tmo sim didn't work but my brothers tmo sim did.(both on the same account). So it could just be a bad sim card
[HTC Inspire 4G] yankee minaj:
I currently have this software number 2.47.502.7

Im i good to go? I dont know if my phone was shipped with gingerbread or not can i still gove it a shot..

Im sorry this tool is really giving me a headache too difficult

But thamx for the help and the tool
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
yankee minaj, you are good to go. But you gotta understand but you are doing. The Hack Kit works flawlessly but needs you to provide a clean environment and run the connectivity checks.

If you are not sure bout it...take some more time to learn and do some research.
[HTC Inspire 4G] timesarchangel:
Thanks for the help, I had a friend over who had T-Mobile and I asked him If I could try his sim and it worked nicely thankfully.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ljjehl:
Success!

The Ace Hack kit saved my bacon today. I had a corrupted cache...nothing would wipe the cache. I decided it was time to go back to S-ON. I used the kit to go completely back , then went back to S-off without no issues. :good::good::D:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] 1Learning:
Hi. Am reading through the forums and effen manual but not sure if I am reading it right. So when we use the Hackkit, it will install stock AT&T GB rooted on our Inspire 4G devices? Anyway to get the Desire HD stock (and then install the AT&T radio afterward using the options in Hackkit)? I ask b/c as I understand it since the Inspire 4G is simply the US version of the Desire HD, and the Desire HD may be getting ICS officially, would we be able to get that too? I am completely new to HTC and Sense but hear that it is great so want to make sure I install the latest build if I can. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] da__beast:
The hack kit will give you root access to your device and provide a recovery boot so you can flash any rom to it. You can then flash a custom rom that has ICS.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I said nothing out of line. This reply to my post is far more offensive than anything I posted. Grow up and look in the mirror. Then get some balls and start dealing with some truth.

IMO - XDA waffles all over the place on developer support, and moderation like this is the tip of an ice-burg of issues. Whatever happened to XDA's "Iron Fist"?
[HTC Inspire 4G] M_T_M:
It's supposed to be implemented by pressing the report button and allowing the Mod team to do their job instead of taking matters in our own hand.

Also....if my edit offended you...my most sincere apologies as it was not my attention.

Let's carry on with the topic at hand mate.

Cheers,

Hey I just met you and this is crazy.....patayto.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I consistently require users to read for comprehension and take a little responsibility to learn what this is about before posting inane questions that have been asked over and over again. My post was meant to reinforce that position and back it up with a logical reason why. Evidently, you can't find your way to get behind that. Further, your insinuation that my post is a result of a bad attitude because of a missing kiss or breakfast is unwarranted, arrogant condescension, and completely off the mark. I ALWAYS have a bad attitude toward those that presume on other people to do their work and think for them. But my skin is thicker than that - I've been called far worse, and really don't care. The point is that you misbehaved in a manner inconsistent with good moderation and in a manner worse than the post you considered offending.

If this is crazy and off topic, you made it so. If this is going to be the way of XDA moderation, then I don't belong here anymore. If it's not, then maybe YOU should consider if you are cut out for moderation.
[HTC Inspire 4G] M_T_M:
I did apologize in public and stand behind my apology. I will not continue with what seems to be an scape of your frustrations on newbies taken on me. I do believe that the new ones need to read and educate themselves before even thinking about posting, so to an extent, support your cause but not your delivery.

This will be my last post regarding this incident.

In another note...if you are so fed up with the way things are being done here and firmly believe that they will not get better with characters like me being here, then it will be me the one urging you to really think about your future here at XDA. I strongly believe that if someone is to upset that that person needs to insult others, then it may be time to take a breather and quit talking for a bit.

I don't know you and don't plan to even act like I can patronize you or judge you based on two post in the internet so...why don't you try the same.

Have a good day mate and the best for you, your plans and developments in the future.

Sincerely,

M_T_M

Attn1, those of us that know how xda SHOULD be respect the way you conduct business. I know it's hard and frustrating with people who can't read, but we would love for you to stay. Xda would lose a valuable asset.

[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
You never apologized for censoring the entirety of my post. You never apologized for you screwed up attitude. You apologized in a back handed insulting fashion for possibly hurting feelings you never hurt. Like I said, I don't care about insults; I care about being effective and in fairness, something you seem to have no concept of. Deleting posts for zero good reason in my own thread is not working for me.

Yes, I am disgusted with XDA moderation overall, but particularly you at the moment. This is a prime example of XDA moderation at work:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29208930&postcount=10

That is screwed up about 100 different ways.

So yeah, I am done here. If a mod can allow an edit to stand calling those who donate free time in our support channel jerks (yes it was worse, but clearly that is still inflammatory), then clearly you too many of guys are missing the boat. All we've ever done is require people to do their homework and respect our rules before asking for help. With all the information out there and in our own documentation, I don't think that's too much to ask. It's too bad you'd rather just count asses in seats than act responsibly.

I'll do this from a blog - I don't care how many people it reaches. Those capable will find it.

The people that support the hack kit does do need this type of XDA Developer support.

There is a way to go back to stock. The only this is you cant turn s on or re lock the sim. So you have a unlocked phone that is not rooted. It's listed a few threads a head of this one.

Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] palletguru:
Gunman - good luck. I'm going to try again soon. My adb path was messed up with latest sdk, which explains my usb connection woes.

If I get it done, I will see if I can grab some time for detailed rooting guide for OSX.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Nothing. vfr002 already has a compatible kernel.

The radio is not why you don't have sound. Please read the first post.

If you get that far, you already have s-off. At this point, an alternative is to grab Visionary from Modaco and get root with that, then install ROM manager and clockwork recovery. Once you do that, you can then update the radio again.

Please read the first post.

Problems Still

I can't get past Hboot. It flashes the rom, then verifies, then i get update failed, Invalid I.D or something like that. I've tried several times. I thought the problem might be the goldcard, but I have made 3 goldcards. I have two 8GB cards and one 16GB. I have also made these cards all different ways, the hack kit version, a goldcard creator, I downloaded goldcard helper from the market to get the mmc2 # i guess it was called. Every goldcard I made says "goldcard created successfully" I have also downloaded the scripts/docs V3 and pasted them in the hack kit. I have no problem communicating with my phone, just wont take the rom. I to am coming out of a captivate which was super easy to root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Try the irc, usually many people in there to help. Attn1 held my n00bsky hand all the way through it..

BTW i used gold card helper(android market) to get my MMC2 reverse, then sent off the number got my img, modified the sd, and that worked. I did it all on my inspire.

Words of advice to anyone having difficulties in this thread: DONT GIVE UP!

I am an adroid user of since Sunday when I got the phone, and I don't have any special computer programming/terminal knowledge (I'm a civil engineer). When I first looked at the instructions I thought NO WAY - but after picking up a little knowledge just from browsing these forums, I felt confident enough to attempt it today. Granted, it took me 3 hours to figure it out, it was worth it and I'm siked to be rooted... Just can't wait for the tin-speaker fix.

PM me any questions you have if you are on OSX - I saved my terminal output so hopefully I can answer a question for you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] _Opiate_:
Ok i finally got mine rooted. I got stuck at the :hackerized-ace setup-downgrade: command which made the rest of the process fail again and again. In order to get that command to go through properly for me I had to put my device in usb storage mode just for that command and it worked perfectly. After that I went back to charge only and the rest went perfectly as instructed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jacetheace517:
Forgive me if I am missing something or am being dumb tonight

The 300 MB file in the OP is called ace-hack-kit-v002.tar.gz. This is one file, but is in linux format. It isn't a .zip or anything like that. Seems like people are refencing folders and such that were download with that link but I am not seeing them. I downloaded the v003 files with the hackerize-ace command and the newest readme but I am not understanding what that 300 MB file is used for.

It seems like I have all the files the readme reference which again brings me to the point of what the hell that 300 MB file does.

Anyone who can give me some clarifcation would be spectacular. I'm looking to root my girls Inspire tomorrow and don't want to break it.

PS--I'm not a rooting rookie, I've rooted a MyTouch 3g, a 3g slide and a MyTouch 4g with no problems.

Mount microSDHC with phone?

This may be bit of a noobish question but I'm a bit of a noob. First experience with Android was on Sunday when I bought my Inspire. Now I want to root it. My only problem is that I don't have a microSDHC reader. I noticed that I can use my phone to mount the card on my computer. Can I mount the card through my phone to create the gold card? If so, that would save me time and money. Thanks in advance.
