[HTC Inspire 4G] Jasoninaz:
Bootable linux is the best path to update.

Hello everyone, I spent too much time pissing around with the windows install and decided to do the linux because window just would not see the phone and was seriously pissing me off.

This is what worked for me.

1. Burn Linux CD from link given

2. Boot to Linux go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352 and download the file needed to start the root process. It downloads it to the home folder and you can just unzip it in there.

3. Get root on the linux os "sudo su" then enter

4. Change permissions chmod 777 hack-ace.sh

5. Plug phone in with having read the instructions before.

6. ./hack-ace.sh

7. Don't touch anything here is the output you will see.

8. Give money to the EFF, I did.
