[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Ok Im rooted and I can get into recovery. I tried to flash a keyboard I wiped but I cant get off of the white htc screen. I tried to flash my recovery image but no go. Anyone know how I can get off of this screen?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
Might want to try a different micro SD card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] radcpuman:
Does this process install a terminal emulator, or do I need to download one?
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
it installs it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JaysFreaky:
So technically, the people who don't yet want to flash this ROM can run Visionary for temporary root to remove the bloatware AT&T apps, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
The root method in the OP worked perfectly for me. No more att bs and runs just as fast. As discussed before the sound is the only real drawback at this time. It sounds like a low quality mp3 when people are talking. I am assuming it wont be a big job fixing it once the source is released through htc, but its nice having all of the crap off of my new phone. Thanks to the OP for helping us out so quickly. I am personally looking forward to a vanilla 2.3 rom :)

Video

I have just put in a request to the The Unlockr to see if they would take this and turn it into a video for those of us that really have no idea how to do all of this , maybe they could even make it simpler to do. Heck I cannot even get it to download to my computer,just gives me a blank page and does nothing, tried on four computers to get it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
Lots of thanks for great tool

I recommended it to several people

a friend of mine tried it on arabic base rom build 2.42

he said in some attempt everything go right but at the end the phone is not rooted

and in the last attempt it gives some errors and the phone stuck in a black screen

thanks in advance
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
He has some process or device causing interference with the usb drivers. Once he resolves those issues, He can just rerun the hack kit from the black screen, provided he has not wiped data. In that event, he should just flash an RUU and begin again.

I cannot stress enough that drivers must be correctly installed and the windows ENV has to be clean and the USB unfettered. Its a simple process to execute, but it's an involved jobstream that requires a good env to run in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Danx757:
Can't extract

I can't even open the files....

I have a windows 7 32 bit computer, I tried with winrar and good old explorer.

nothing works.

heeeeeelp, I'm a complete noob when it comes to this stuff.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I'm sorry, but "Help, I'm a noob" before you get to go because of a basic PC issue, then you are well beyond the scope of reasonable help and support of this tool. If you are such a noob that you cannot download and properly unpack a zip file with your PC, then I suggest that you go take a computer class and don't even think about hacking your mobile phone just yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] joe_the_man:
Just a quick update, I used the netbook with Windows 7 starter edition and the hack kit worked AWESOME!!! Many many thx to u guys for the help and especially to u attn1 for makin this!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
thanks again friend

I told him

here is the log

take a look please if you have time :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
The run log does not bear out what you are saying.

INFOchecking main version...
FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)
finished. total time: 15.063s
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.219s
error: protocol fault (no status)

This indicates a problem with SDcard.

The subsequent lack of connection indicates an issue with drivers or USB contention, as I alluded earlier.

He can retry from the black screen once he solves his SDcard issue and fixes his USB coms - provided he did not wipe data.

one more thing - he should download and use the latest version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
thanks my friend

solved and the phone is hacked now with your great help

thanks a lot :)

great work ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] 39FarmallM:
Kudos to you Attn1, for maintaining your composure. The aahk sounds like fun. Makes me want go all the way back to stock and reroot - not really, but I have thought about it.

I rooted with bubby's and spent a whole day without sound because my antivirus said it was off, but apparently was only kidding.

Keep up the good work.

Sent to a tower near you using XDA app.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jpeepers:
I read the Effen manual but Just want to clarify something before I do this.

Before I start I need to remove my stock SD card and replace it with another blank card is that correct? Can someone explain this real quick?

Thanks.

.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Anthony1s:
You can use your current SD. The hack kit doesn't erase your card or anything. If the kit fails, you might need to try another SD. Come in the irc, if you need further help. http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
[HTC Inspire 4G] Papa Luigi:
I did this with stock card and most recent version of the hack kit. I had music, pics and docs on the card and everything was fine, no loss. Of course, I backed up the data from the SD card first before doing anything. Always do a backup, even before minor changes, it's just good insurance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] deeno33:
Very sweet and easy...i'll be donating like 50 bucks when i get paid...thats how great this is. And btw LOL on all the kickban ?s', cant believe people would ask some of these things...
[HTC Inspire 4G] labarbacoa:
once again, thank you for the tool. I had a problem earlier, a black screen issue like one from a page back, but I solved it by simply turning off the music and a few other small processes on my computer. So yeah, this tool needs to be run in a clean environment!

thanks again attn1! i remember the first time rooting with goldcards, then unrooting my phone with this tool when the major update was released just to reroot!
[HTC Inspire 4G] keatsim:
Hi, i already done all the prerequisites stuff:-

Make sure HTC USB Drivers for Android are installed (included in the Hack Kit @ tools/windrivers)

Disable all malware detection, including Windows Defender

Uninstall HTC Sync

Uninstall Droid Explorer

Uninstall iTunes or stop service

Uninstall ALL other phone pda or tablet software

but yet when i right click to run hack-ace.cmd, it just blink for like 1 sec then turn off itself. I can't really open it!!! Can anyone help me out? i not even started yet!!!

i use command prompt to run hack-ace.cmd and it shows this :

Ace advanced hack kit

killing htc sync process if it exists...

'tasklist' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
If your computer is missing tasklist, then try a linux LiveCD or another computer that works right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] wender0800:
Can someone able to list the ACE hack kit can be use on other cell phone beside HTC inspire 4G?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Only HTC ACE, AKA inspire or Desire HD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dnaramore40:
This is the easiest thing I've ever done with my Inspire and I'm a complete noob :P. All you have to do is read and understand what the effen manual has to say. attn1 is the freaking man with this, thank you so much!
[HTC Inspire 4G] osiedacz:
Success! Thanks a ton.

Hey Attn1, thanks a ton for all the help. I noticed the changes to the effen manual, thank you. Rooted without an issue by following the effen manual. Perfect.

Only two suggestions for things I ran into, mostly because this was the first time I have done anything "non-stock" to an Android device.

1. The effen manual says to turn on USB Debugging. I was able to google how to do it, but it might be nice to list that you just go into "Settings-Applications-Development".

2. In the effen manual you say, "Extract the aahk*.zip where you can find it from the command line." I understood this to be a short path, so I extracted to the root of my "C" drive. Others may not understand that instruction and if you extract it too deep into your file structure, the command prompt can't navigate to it.

Otherwise, perfection! Thanks a ton and I'll hit both of your recommendations with donations right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] deroux71:
Perfect and smooth rooting!

After reading as much as I could and learning from other people's mistakes, I have to say that all my fears were put to rest by this kit! By far the easiest one I have used... Many thanks to all involved in making our rooting experience a breeze!
[HTC Inspire 4G] crush:
Hi i used this to s-off and unlock as well as sim unlock. But i am not able to get all the network, is there anything i need to do?

for example i tried 4 different network provider sims, 3 worked 1 doesn't and that is important for me.

That particular sim which didn't give me service on inspire is working fine on other phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
What provider sim? some sims are locked to providers' equipment.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crush:
nope its not a locked sim to provider.

Its Airtel sim, and i can use that sim on every other single phone but not on inspire it says no service. do i need any settings or what?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
what kind of phones are the others? are they smartphones? No, the inspire is not carrier locked after the hack kit runs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fiasco:
Hi,

I got a replacement Inspire today from at&t and tried the Hack Kit on it. Everything seemed to be running fine.

I got past the part where it tells you that you now have S-off and clockworkmod recovery then in goes to the radio part of the process which also seemed to go fine. After it finished it says rebooting... the thing is my phone never rebooted. It's been dead for a good 20 minutes now. Power button doesn't turn it on, I even took out the battery just now and put it back in, still no dice with powering on the device.

Is it done for? Or is there a way to save it?

EDIT: Ok after leaving it alone for some more time it does eventually power back on, but if I turn it off or try to reboot it goes dead again for a long while. Any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Come into the IRC channel in my sig and we'll get it sorted out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
I originally rooted by phone with an early version of the hack kit (4, 5 maybe?). I used this new version to return to stock and man, have you spoiled us! Thanks, attn1!
[HTC Inspire 4G] crush:
yes they are smartphones as well. do i need to run the hack kit again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fiasco:
attn1, you Sir are a scholar and a gentleman!

Thanks for taking the considerable time to sort out my phone's issues.

Running smoothly again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crush:
i am on irc as well but no one responding there
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Yeah, I was busy helping people 'till 4:00 am my time. I decided to get some shuteye. I got 4 hours. Now where are YOU?

No. Your phone is as sim-unlocked as it's going to get if you got S-OFF and can run ANY sims from other carriers..
[HTC Inspire 4G] crush:
coming back again there :D

Edit: Oops Sir is away again

[== attn1 is away: way away]
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
those with slow boots/black screens - your phone is not bricked. If you can't get things going, come see us in the IRC channel (the freenode link in my sig). We can help. Be patient, we're not always there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] crush:
Thanks worked out sometimes you cannot even see what a simple stupid mistake you are doing. It was bottom door which needs to be closed lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
just used this on my replacement inspire from at&t,easy as pie and took no time at all, its come a long way since february
[HTC Inspire 4G] gbeardmore:
Thank you so much attn !! It seems there were a few non-standard settings made (by me?) to my phone. I never would have gotten it figured out without your help.

I really appreciate your time and patience!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
It sure has. Thanks to ATTN1 for starting this project and sticking with it.

Truly 1 click root. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rasroygbiv:
+1 it has just gotten easier and easier. Thanks ATTN1!

Sent from my Inspire 4G
[HTC Inspire 4G] Vindicated777:
I've read the effin manual and everything is simple and straight forward...but for some reason after rooting ( which it does successfully ) the INspire 4g...when i flash recovery then reboot (with apps installed ) everything is superuser denied...any feedback on this...maybe just me...thanks!

I'm gonna try going back to complete stock on "froyo" before the update s-on and all...which before i went back to gingerbread update with s-on...hope all checks out!
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I have no idea what you are talking about.
[HTC Inspire 4G] imdatslaya:
My phone starts up and shows the htc logo then goes black when I did the used the ace advanced hack hit. Is there anyway to revert and start over?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Fix your USB comm issues and boot to the black screen, then rerun the hack kit from the beginning. USB debugging should still be enabled unless you wiped data.

So come into the freenode irc channel in my sig for help.

Obviously, something in your PC configuration is/was wrong. We'll get you straight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] imdatslaya:
I fixed it by flashing back to the factory room using hboot and I'm banned from the irc
[HTC Inspire 4G] Leprichon:
Just turn superuser in automatic allow and kill log

---------- Post added at 06:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 AM ----------

Thank you for this great tool al just went fine on mine Desire HD.

Only superuser did strange solved it whit allow automatic and turn log of.

Do someone now if you can set the CPU speed in Daemon controller and not in the text file?

thanks John Netherlands
[HTC Inspire 4G] VartLokur:
thanks man :) at last i got my DHD with 2.3.3 rooted :) thanks a lot
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
thanks again and again

the tool is great :)

"Please do NOT run the hack step if you are already S-OFF and are running a custom ROM"

what if it is running a stock rom but is S-OFF?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Just s-off is fine, but WHY? Just install CWM and go from there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
thanks

not mine

a friend of mine said that its S-OFF but has stock rom on it and no root permission

he tried the first option and no success

you mean there should be no problem to use the tool?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
I've rooted before with your older version but when i tried to root today i got a message saying radio downgrade failed. What have i done and what do i need to do to fix it?

Edit: I had fastboot checked then unchecked then it rooted but now I get the htc logo and it fades to black. Cant get it to power on or into hboot is my phone bricked
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
If he really has a stock rom, then yes, it would be okay.

Nope. We met in IRC and now you're all set.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mohammadsp:
thanks again

he has tested it

but he said the process has finished unsuccessfully

he has flashed an .exe rom again

could he use the second option of the tool?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Larz_Plummer:
Holy bejeezus! This kit is so much easier than when I rooted my Inspire last April. :) It made the process rooting my Wife's Inspire so so so much easier.

THANK YOU!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
He can try it, but better to sort out drivers and conflicts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bjoernbertelsen:
WOW that was awesome!!!

Hi att1n, your are the man! YOU ARE THE MAAAIIIIN :D

thanks for such a great kit, even a newb like me could do it, and I did! Sweet!

Ran the hack kit on a Ubuntu Live CD I had laying around, it worked without a flaw.

I'll buy you a beer!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Zen-Dragon:
Attn1!

Thanks for such an awesome tool!

I used this back @ v11 or 12 for my phone and I thought it was easy then.

Just used the latest on my wife's phone tonight and it couldn't have been more simple.

I ran into troubles trying to run it on my Dell Mini 10 w/ OSX installed on it. I could manually use adb to detect the device, but when using your tool it couldn't find device.

Moved over to my Mac Mini and it worked like a charm, must have been something with the USB on the Mini 10 and OSX I Imagine.

Thank you for your contribution to the Inspire community!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lows10:
How do I use just the sim unlock I updated my hack kit the other day to do my friends inspire when I used this for myne it didn't have the sim unlock so I'm already rooted.ect how can I just sim unlock without doing all the other processes I'm on the Linux version also ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
I did not notice this problem till after I used the Ace hack Kit. When I try to copy the TitaniumBackup folder on the SD Card in my inspire to my computer the SD Card auto unmounts after it has copied a few files over. If I copy files one at a time it seems to work okay.

I don't have a problem coping a movie to my SD Card from my computer. But when I try to copy the movie back to the computer from my phone my SD Card auto unmounts.

I took the SD card out of my inspire and put it in a SD to USB adapter and I was able to copy the TitaniumBackup folder to my computer with out any problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
The hack kit is not to blame for your failing USB comms. If anything, I stress how important it is to remove conflicting software and make sure drivers are properly loaded. When the hack kit completes successfully, it has does nothing to the ROM that would have a negative impact on any function.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hiltun:
I did removed all the conflicting software that I had on my computer. The hack worked perfectly. I was just wondering about the auto un mount because it did not happen until after I did the hack.

I posted this first before I went into the IRC channel. That's why I added this

Guess I should have put it in the body of the post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I stand corrected and apologize.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ferrari353:
I keep trying to get my phone into USB debugging but for some reason it just doesn't want to...It charges, and the settings are set to turn on USB debugging when plugged in, but it doesn't do it so I can't run the hack kit...What could the problem be?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
I had phone rooted by attn1 in his IRC forum. It went very smooth but and I put the cleardroid Rom on my phone. Now as of today my phone is saying its no longer rooted and root access has been denied. What has happen and what do I need to do get it back rooted?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Install a properly rooted ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fishykipper:
This is a brilliant little app.

Used it a few times, works perfectly every time.

Hassle free and best of all quick.

Thanks so much.

Wish i'd seen this before taking the long winded approach to Rooting, the tedious goldcard creating method.

-fishykipper
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdog533:
The cleardroid Rom has been.verified as properly rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fernandezhjr:
No doubt Cleardroid is. Could be a possible bad flash, but it sounds like it could be a Superuser issue. Check Superuser binaries to ensure they have not been corrupted, maybe clearing data will help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 71lemans1:
Just rooted my inspire with this. Totally painless, easy as pie. Took less than the 6 minutes. Now onto a Rom. Thanks for all the work you put into it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I never said it wasn't. I just said install one. That will fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] superss94:
hi!, recently i bought a htc inspire 4g, when i check it had s-off ship but the phone is not rooted (i confirme it with terminal) now i want to root my phone to install clockworkmod but i can´t run Advanced Ace Hack Kit becuase it says "Please do NOT run the hack step if you are already S-OFF" so... anyone can help me :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] themacman1000:
Well... You SHOULD be able to flash CWM and then a custom ROM. But, if your phone gets trashed for following MY instructions, I shall laugh at you because I don't even have a Inspire to test it on. Just my 2 cents and thought processes.

(Please wait for a response from ATTN1 before trying anything you're unsure of.)

Sent from my whatchamacallit
[HTC Inspire 4G] flying_dutchman:
Hi, downloading the package right now, but still have some "basic" doubts & hope someone can reassure me:

* the package only roots (enabling to get rid of some apks etc) - correct?

* once used, official OTAs still work - correct?

then 1 step further:

what if I put CM7 or revolution, will OTAs still work, or should I flash regularly new ROMs?

thanks for the answers, as said, more than basic for the majority of you ;-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
No, OTAs don't work with custom recovery - thank god. Who the hell would want them?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
If you are running a stock rom, you can run the hack kit. But be sure it's stock. If you aren't, it's better to flash and RUU first.
[HTC Inspire 4G] razvan_day:
have a big problem with the method posted by xda tv here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY8TFZ2Owk0

the problem is that the phone is with the htc logo on and in the Advanced Ace Hack Kit is in the moement when it says sending zip ........... for 20 minutes . it supposed to be ready in 6 minutes . what shoud i do?

after about 30 minutes s -off , root and clockworkmode recovery complete

be patient - updating radio....

starting update process...

erasing cache okay

be patient sending update ...

sending zip < 11423 KB> ...

.......................

50 minutes and nothing .............

is it suppose to be like this ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] superss94:
matter if I'm already s-off??? so.. i will run the hack tool after my phone is 100% charged, software version is: 2.47.507.7, i think it´s stock rom
[HTC Inspire 4G] wroark:
This kit is great, I just rooted my Inspire with zero issues.

By far the easiest method I've found, excellent piece of work!
[HTC Inspire 4G] razvan_day:
it took me about 3 hours to finish. :) i am glad that i did not unplug the cable from my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Keep watching TV and suffer the consequences.. Maybe if you had followed the effen manual you would not have had such issues. There is more to preparing to run the kit properly than what is highlighted in that stupid video.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bryan583:
This kit started to work great..... once it go to reboot it didn't.

So I got on IRC and Attn1 fixed it in a few mins. He told me it was because I was using an older version with engboot. (I think that's it)

But now running cm7 really hate the sense crap.

THANKS ATTN1 AND ALL THE DEVS. YOU ALL ARE GREAT..
[HTC Inspire 4G] Bryan583:
I do have 1 question and sorry if this is in the wrong thread. If I get a bigger SD card will I have to make it a gold card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
No, you won't.
[HTC Inspire 4G] superss94:
thank you, I rooted my phone successfully!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Lulzim.:
