Rooted Telus HD Rom

B"H

Is there a reason we cannot just use the rooted telus rom, and then flash the radio & kernel to the AT&T version?

For that matter, will the telus kernel and radio work on this unit?

With all due respect to the ROM Cookers out there and attn1, I personally feel more comfortable to start off with a plain stock-rom that has been rooted rather than a cooked rom in the beginning.

That way, if something doesn't work, I cannot blame the cook!

I am trying to get back to stock but getting error 170. Would you mind giving a little detail on how you did it? What mode was you phone in, did you run the RUU in a compat mode, etc?
[HTC Inspire 4G] wildace408:
Wierd data symbol behavior

Has anyone noticed that on both roms (afr1 and afr2) that if you select the option for always on data connection and the phone isn't using any data to up or download that the H symbol becomes a 3G symbol...as soon as I start up any data usage though it becomes an H with no impact really...just wondering if it was only my phone or not...thanks attn1 for getting this out so soon...great job
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Which rom gets better sound?
[HTC Inspire 4G] _Opiate_:
From what I've read most people think the stock rooted rom has better sound. I don't know though because I'm sticking with this rom at least until the kernel source is released.

Attn1 knows what he's doing. I ran nothing but his roms on my HTC Aria.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Well the stock ROM does have somewhat better sound quality. But it's not great, and tethering requires paying a fee. I've rooted this rom and played with it, but it's too screwed up for words. The only improvement is sound quality.

Kernel source will not fix the sound quality issue; it will only enable us to build kernels that have sound.

The telus Rom (vfr002) shows little improvement over vfr001, and has tethering limitations and the universal APN list does not work, requiring people to enter the apn manually after flashing to enable data. Again, I am not impressed, and will revert to the Euro unbranded, unencumbered base for further releases.

There are some minor sound improvements afoot, but I will not add them until I know no functionality will be lost (ie speakerphone operation), etc.

I am majorly disappointed in this device. Even on the stock ROM, incoming audio always sounds like the person on the other end has a kazoo stuck in their throat. Bad job, HTC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JetBlk:
Can't say I agree with the kazoo part. I've had perfect sound on my stock Inspire and this is coming from an audiophile
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I am running a 100% stock rom at the moment. The sound is still bright and buzzy, though somewhat better.

It's far from perfect, audiophile.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
It is possible you have a bad speaker, then. On the stock ROM my girlfriend's voice (the only calls I received) sounded like she was right there. Some of the best audio quality I have seen in a phone(Her on an iPhone 4, me on the Inspire). I haven't tested it yet with the DHD ROM with the supposed audio fix yet, but I just wanted to throw my .02 in the mix on this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Before the audio fix was released I had my phone rooted running this rom and reverted back to stock because the audio quality was so bad. The inspire's audio stock is not perfect but not as bad as it was. I am weary as to root again and try the new audio fix because some people are saying its still tinny...
[HTC Inspire 4G] yg17:
I've noticed that too, my phone can't make up it's mind on the data connection it seems. I don't really care though, I get great speeds on AT&T here so I could care less what network it says it's on. Bring on the ugpraded backhaul!
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
With all due respect to you, I don't really give a crap about how you think I should spend my unpaid time putting together a ROM I might be happy with. If you don't like what I do, just move on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I did my own rooted stocker for those of you who would like it. I am adding it to page one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Does att-inspire-stock-rooted-signed.zip have teathering?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stereomind:
Thank you, attn1!! I am using this Rom with the TELUS kernel, and everything works! No tinny sound, wi-fi and YouTube are working great, data speeds are fine, and I have yet to get an FC error. This phone is usable now!!

EDIT: tapatalk still thinks this is a Desire HD :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] stereomind:
more mms

Oh, in case the previously mentioned MMS settings still don't work for some of you, try this:

Name: MediaNet

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: (not set)

Port: (not set)

Username: WAP@CINGULARGPRS.COM

Password: CINGULAR1

Server: (not set)

MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com

MMS proxy: wireless.cingular.com

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication type: (not set)

APN type: (not set)

I found these by googling around, so I can't take credit for them, but they made my MMS work flawless.

soooo..... This ROM + TELUS kernel = wi-fi + tethering + youtube + almost stock sound quality + MMS :D

Titanium backup fc's and can't aquire root on stock root version. What's up with that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Is hspuda open on the stock rooted version
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
Lost root when flashing your stock Rom. Other than that it's great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
I lost root also. So now what? What happens if I restore a nandroid backup?

Edit: Just tried it, back to rooted Inspire DHD... Seems Ok.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkorzuch:
The ROM is stil reooted. You just have to open Superuser and you will get a message SU is up to date. Reboot and Rom Manager and Root Explorer will get the Superuser permission.
[HTC Inspire 4G] razor_blade:
I still have root on the rooted stock, but the superuser app fc's every time I try and open it. Still can use TiBu and rommanager, so I know it is still working. Fyi.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
I'm getting the same thing
[HTC Inspire 4G] razor_blade:
Su from the terminal makes the fc prompt for superuser come up and after 10 seconds, I get a permission denied.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I dont know what's up with that. but you can fix it by going into clockwork and fixing permissions. It happens on some installs and not others.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Tried that too. Cwm can't find root either. The only thing that sees root is root explorer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkorzuch:
Anybody figure out how to get the Wifi Tethering to work on the Stock Rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Are you confusing CWM with Rom Manager? Clockwork Recovery repair permissons operation has zero to do with root on the installed installed rom, except that is can repair it.

Boot into clockwork recovery and give it a try.

advanced > fix permissions
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
I meant Rom manager sorry
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Did fix permissions work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprke:
My experience has been far different. I was very happy with stock sound quality and I considered myself picky..

So this updated ROM has better sound?? I am running the DHD V2 with the audio fix but its still very tinny IMO..
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Nope. Somethings possibly wrong with su, maybe busybox.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
yes, if you run it from clockwork recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
The sound is great. Plus it still has fast upload speeds. Thanks att1
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
what? stock rom has fast upload? i'm going to flash it now!
[HTC Inspire 4G] beerbaronstatic:
What about tethering on the new stock ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
I ran it from recovery menu and CWM and did not fix it. Any other suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
if this is happening after fixing permissions in clockwork, then

settings > applicatons > manage applications > all applications

clear data for Superuser.

This will clear the corrupt data created when permissions were wrong.

If you fix permissions right after flashing, this won't happen. I am testing a fixed version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ljwnow:
Has those ****y software been removed? And also is WiFi tendering working?
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Thanks for the help. Waiting for new version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Yes the new stock rooted has fast upload.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AllTheWay:
HsUPA is enabled then. Thank God. Going to flash this ROM in Monday when I get my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] droe411:
Thanks for the help, it worked once then superuser fc's again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Thanks. Cleared data on affected apps and fixed permissions. Stock goodness rooted. The dhd find are great but the sound even with the fix was enough to annoy me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Su force closed and lost ability to root apps. Frustrating.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tony710:
It's an issue with Superuser.apk and Sense 1.72>, not this ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

You can either download his patched version and flash it, or use a work around.

1-Clear data for SU

2-Open SU but DON'T use back button, use home to keep it in memory.

3-Open all your root apps and grant them access

If you add a new root app, fix permissions in CWR and then start at step 2.

4-Enjoy root until ChainsDD can update the app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
Had no idea there was a patch. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprke:
I don't..I'm only getting around 200 up with it :(

Does anybody know what needs to changed/edited to enable HSUPA?
[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
You guys are the best. Stock with root is great. Still deciding if I'm going to atrix though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] razor_blade:
I am getting random fc's with Google services framework. I have already fixed permissions from clockwork mod and cleared the data from managed applications. Any other ideas? Everything seems to work fine, but I keep getting popups. BTW, love the sound!
[HTC Inspire 4G] tpbklake:
2 suggestions:

1. From CWM Clear Cache and Clear Dalvik

If that doesn't work and you are still getting random FC's then

2. From CWM Clear Data/System Reset

No tethering on rooted stock ROM

Just flashed the rooted stock ROM. No wireless tether. When I try to turn it on, it bugs me that I don't have a tethering plan. Any ideas on how to get it to let me tether without a plan?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tony710:
There is a thread in general talking about how to do this. It involves adding a new APN for just tethering.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkorzuch:
All I did is delete the wireless.cingular.com Proxy from the APN settings and my Wireless Hot Spot started working. I can't believe it was that simple.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Good find, thanks. Rom updated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
You mean you created another without that setting? I am looking into this as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprke:
Is there a simple way to enable HSUPA on the stock rooted? I have fooled around with prop editor but it hasn't changed anything yet..

EDIT: I fixed it. All you have to do is make a new APN without the proxy. Now my data speeds are flying.
[HTC Inspire 4G] beerbaronstatic:
I got my wifi hotspot working out of the box now, just change the 2 files in my zip on the file system. Not sure how it will work on people currently on the ROM, I did a fresh install and its working perfectly
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Okay, this is exactly was I was in the process of doing. Where did this framework-res.apk come from? I am in the process of updating the stock one - I'd rather not use one from another ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
hsupa is NOT enabled on rooted stock rom. just do a complete shutdown (pull battery), and hsupa is back to 384k max!

I just flashed back to dhd v2 rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] beerbaronstatic:
Its the stock one with res/xml/apn.xml updated from a ROM that I knew worked out of the box
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Attn1: Have any of the roms you posted been de-odexed? I'd like to play with some themes.

If they haven't is there an easy way to De-odex with a mac? I'll take a shot at it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sprke:
Try and make another APN without the proxy and port filled in and see if that works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] driftkidd2323:
HSUPA not enabled, 384k up. Sound is mint though, awesome job.

Edit: Enabled on the new version, excellent!
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
okay, exactly what I did.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I've been working on other things, but when i come back to this, I am going to put up new vfr based on the att stocker, de-odexed and with a mod to enable tethering out of the box. It will also have the AT&T apps removed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
excellent. Thank you.

LOL can nobody read? I have posted several times to make a new APN without the proxy and wifi tether and HSUPA work fine. If it doesn't work for you please say so. Thanks :)

I wouldn't be surprised if this would work on non-rooted phones to..
[HTC Inspire 4G] driftkidd2323:
This seems to have worked on the atrix for tethering atleast, unrooted. I'm assuming this will go across the board.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkorzuch:
I created the new APN on the stock rom and Wifi Tethering works fine. Howerver, HUSPA is not enabled. I can't get more than 300Kbps upload speed and on my Captivate that has HUSPA I get 1.5Mbps upload speeds.
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
if you used captivate, you should know hsupa is disabled on att modem/radio. you need to change the radio, Telus?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rkorzuch:
I was using the afr002 ROM with the stock radio and kernel and had HUSPA speeds. I changed because the ROM seemed buggy and I didn't like the sound quality.
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
are you sure it' the same stock radio on afr002? haha

on afr002, baseband version is 12.39.60.19P_26.06.04.06_M

on stock rom, radio is

12.39.60.19H_26.06.04.06_M

I actually used this kit it took me 10 hours of trial and error because I had never rooted anything before this and I went in knowing nothing. I am now running leesdroid 2.0 with the stock ATT kernel and all sound works actually everything works except YouTube app so far even the WiFi hotspot works w/o a tethering plan. I'm also running about 2.0 mbps down and 2.5 mbps up. 1 bad note is the tinny noises while on a call. Hopefully that can be fixed soon enough :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] jasonyump:
"I am still working on a proper audio fix for VFR001, because I consider that that best base other than audio." as seen in the original post. use the stock att rom if you need stock audio now.

just flashed the vfr003 and the gps is up and running again . The sound quality is not that bad either... might stick with this one.. unless i can figure out how to flash a radio...

rooted inspire says radio is 12.39.69.19U_26.06.04.06_M

Stock Rooted Rom GPS Fix

So I flashed the radio from the ace kit and it seems to have fixed the gps issue.

I am now on the stock rooted rom (w/ at&t apps removed) with the radio from the kit.

My radio is showing the 60.19H.

Edit: Never mind. Mobile data still disabled when on wifi. Posted too quickly.

for data ... see that u still have the apn under settings->>wirelss& network-> mobile network->apn
[HTC Inspire 4G] wildace408:
Thats basically what I did. But I manually copied over the PD98IMG.zip from the radio folder of the kit to my sd card and booted into hboot and it asked to update automatically.

My apn's are all there (including the extra w/o proxy for tethering) and data works fine. What I meant was the while on wifi it disconnects mobile data. I thought that on the original rom and the afr001/002 it stayed connected to mobile even while on wifi. I could be mistaken though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fruitsalt:
ohh on that it just shows both icons, when connected to wifi its only using wifi but wuld just show the H+ logo... as long as data works with wifi off you should be good, ( with other things working of course)

i just tried doing the same thing as u .. but mine stll has a U in it :S

did u use a command to boot into hboot or just powered off and held the keys to get there
[HTC Inspire 4G] wildace408:
Just rebooted and held power and vol down. Is your gps still not working as well?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fruitsalt:
i cant get my radio to change... it flashes but it still says the U in it instead of H... so the gps will work with all DHD and the vfr003 rom but cant get it to work with the rooted att rom.

the only reason i want that rom is cause of the clear sound and i get faster downloads speeds when on this rom then on anyother rom... i just did a quick speed test with the unrooted inspire and mine on vfr003... and the unrooted was faster.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wildace408:
I remember that I at one time after rooting my phone flashed a radio that was posted on the forum somewhere that also claimed to be the stock radio. I'll try looking for it and post a link to it on here so you can try that as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fruitsalt:
finally got it ... needed to flash the rom again that made it work..thanks for all your help.

for those who have the GPS problem and want the rooted att rom.

copy the zip file from the radio folder in the ace-hack-kit to your memory card.

reboot into hboot, select yes to install..then reboot..

reboot into recovery again and flash the att rooted rom again.

once booted up, system will show H in the radio string.

and gps will work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wildace408:
Glad you got it up and running. Will still post the link for the extracted radio for ppl who want to try it although I'm sure its the same as the one in the ace kit. To install it you can use adb or just override the radio.img file in the zip from the ace kit with this one and either hboot or step#5 from the hack-kit instructions

[HTC Inspire 4G] davwman:
What method did you use to get gps back?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
The stock radio firmware is included in the kit. The radio is not changed in any ROM I pack. If you flash a different ROM, the prefix indicated on the baseband revision may change, but in fact, the radio firmware does not.

I cannot explain GPS issues with the stock radio firmware and the rooted stock ROM. I know it works for some and not others and it makes no sense.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bkeaver:
I havent tested GPS but to be honest I dont use it much so if it does work then its a extra added bonus... if it dont then oh well.. there will soon be a fix posted...

THANK YOU ATTN1 for everything!

edit: after testing GPS from my office which btw I never get good gps signal at all because of the metal framing I am seeing and using 9 satellites and accuracy is 62 feet at the moment...

and I am getting some FC for google services too at the moment.. i think its related to gtalk but not 100% sure

i figured out my issues with google services.. I had replaced the gmail app in this build with another one that auto loads the images... it didnt like it too well.. too bad cause I like that one better but no big deal. seems to have been corrected with wiping and re-flashing..
