During the root process, the radio is downgraded to reveal a security flaw. This, however kills the sound. It's understood & documented that this would happen and wasn't a surprise for me. I just stopped there because I didn't have time to continue and wasn't sure what route I wanted to take on ROM flashing. Once one of the other ROMs is flashed, the radio firmware is restored and sound along with it (that's my understanding, anyway).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Monkeyfeng:
hey guys, i'm at step 2 downgrading. I have a question.

#

Once the FASTBOOT comes up, press power once to start HBOOT

#

Follow the prompts on the phone to downgrade.

what does the prompts on the phone look like? I'm in HBOOT USB PLUG right now but it's not giving me any prompt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Naytwan:
all rooted and rommed and happy. So long apps I cant use like blockbuster and hello clean rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Naytwan:
The one based on the euro rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] beerbaronstatic:
Once you get to the white screen with colorful text just hit the power button and let it do its thing, eventually it'll say vol up to upgrade vol down to cancel, hit vol up, it'll do its thing, then hit power again to reboot
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmstlist:
Not quite. The radio firmware from any release of the DHD should work. The sound problem is in the OS kernel which is part of boot.img.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tepickytoo:
my only available one is 256MB lmao. I just switched from an iPhone 4 so it's the only one I have. hmm. will it work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
what happened to the sdcard that came with the Inspire? (MicroSDCard, actually)
[HTC Inspire 4G] tepickytoo:
They didn't give it to me when I bought it off of craigslist :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
It will cost you 12 bucks for a 8gb
[HTC Inspire 4G] tepickytoo:
I've already ordered a bigger one =] but in the meantime, will this 256mb work to make the gold card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Yeah, it should.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tepickytoo:
Ok! Thanks!

Edit: "Tools" folder is too big to transfer. I guess I'm just going to have to wait for my 8GB micro sd to arrive :/

Anyway, thanks =]

@radcpuman, did you the Wifi working properly?
[HTC Inspire 4G] radcpuman:
I flashed the inspired ace Rom by gtg and it worked fine. Not sure what the issue was when on the hack kit Rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s14evil:
I got a dumb question. To use the hack kit do I need SDK/ADB installed. I just had to reinstall widows on my pc......
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
you dont put the hack kit on the sdcard. read the effen manual.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
No, but you will need the htc adroid windows drivers properly installed. Read the manual.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s14evil:
Can you post the link to the manual
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
Lets see read page one
[HTC Inspire 4G] demonslayer16:
will this enable hsupa for the inspire? I just wanted to be sure thats all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ronnie498:
It will only root your phone, and will give u the option to install any of the custom roms that have it enabled already.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cadu85:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone can help me with my phone. I actually bought this phone from craiglist, but apparently there is sthg wrong with it (big surprise..) It has Android 2.33 Gingerbread, and it doesnt read the SIM card. It says no SIM card, it doesnt even say there is sthg wrong with the sim card or anything like that. I was wondering if returning it to stock it would solve the problem. And what steps should i take to do this? Oh im new at this, so a rooting or flashing for dummies answer would be greatly appreciated. (what does s-off means?)

Thanks,

Carlos
[HTC Inspire 4G] bushmg:
Help, please.

Just finished V11 on ATT Inspire 4G. Everything worked great - no problems, but now I have lost my data connection. Followed Main Menu steps 1,2,3 and then Options menu 1. Old radio was 12.39a.60.19u_26.06.06.30_M. Now I can't download anything, even with wi-fi. Internet - dead. Did I do something wrong?

(By the way, data is lost after step #3 in the Main Menu. As soon as I enable Wi-fi, I lose the data connection and the browser stops working. If I turn off Wi-fi, data connects again.)

Is there a way to get back to the "stock" AT&T rom and still have root?

Many thanks for a slick package!
[HTC Inspire 4G] P00t:
wow super easy! thanks for this!

just rooted my brother's inspire 4g in less than 10minutes!

No voice and data ATT HTC Inspire

I am totally newbie.

I used ace-hack-kit-v11a, I followed the steps, as mention in effen-manual, no errors were observed.

I performed steps in the following sequence

1 Hack my new Inspire/DesireHD and than steps

1 Reverse CID

2 Downgrade

3 S-OFF, SuperCID and More

2 Optional Menu

1 Install stock ATT radio

I did not get any errors. The phone rebooted fine, with no issues. My phone can not get any services neither voice or data.

Please help or if it is already answered, point me there. Thanks.

They are all over the forum. Just reed. Try cm7.... or some thing, or the ATT rooted Rom. Also look up how to set up ATT APN.. Also check out unlockr.com its good info for new comers
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
att1:Thanks and suggestion.

att1, thanks for your hard work on creating a way for us to unleash the shackles of HTC/ATT and giving use the ability to use our phones a we choose.

V11 is awesome and just about a brainless operation. The only thing I would "add or change" would be some instructions in the EFFEN MANUAL on how to install the drivers that you linked to in the OP. TBH, had I not been through the rooting process of the Aria last November, I wouldn't have had a clue how to install them. I fairly savvy w/ puters, no where near your level, but decent nonetheless and I can see how that part might be a stumbling block to others.

Again, thanks for your time spent making all this possible.

Tx
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I remember you from the Aria forums. Welcome to ACE/DesireHD/Inspire mania!

Having drivers properly installed is a prerequisite, not part of this process. This is because there is no installer for the raw drivers and because the install process varies depending on what windows version we're dealing with. We've been having better than expected results with HTC Sync driver installations - provided HTC Sync is uninstalled or at least shut off thru this process. That MAY be added to prerequisites - but managing windows drivers will never be part of the hack kit process or instructions.

By and large, people who use drivers from a new version of HTC Sync and follow three simple steps in the Effen Manual exactly without corrupting their SDcards before beginning this process have zero issues completing it correctly. People should at least have basic PC skills and have their act together before they endeavor to hack smartphones, IMO.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
Cool. I hadn't considered the difference in process for driver installation. Fwiw, I tried it w/ the drivers left over from the Sync uninstall but it wouldn't get past the first instance of pushing data in the downgrade step. I then uninstalled everything via Revo Uninstaller, rebooted and installed the ones you linked to and wham bam thank ya ma'am, I had a rooted Inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XCellPhoneSalesRep:
I just purchased another Inspire to have as a side-by-side test phone to my other Inspire. I like to have (2) of the same model for testing different roms out or even testing the same rom. If i have a problem with something, i like to try and replicate the issue on the same device for trouble shooting.

Anyway, i just wanted to say thanks for your "Hack Kit" and it was extremely simple. My 1st Inspire, i purchased about a month and a half ago, was rooted using the "Inspire 4G Simple One Click". For whatever reason, i didnt use the Hack Kit, but i am now going to Re-Root my 1st Inspire using this very very simple method.

Again, thanks for this and keep up the great work!​

downgrade failure

I keep getting this message from the cmd window "adb server out of date" then i get this black screen with a red triangle with a red ! in it.

My Radio is 26.06.04.06 M and i read that your radiso must not be higher than 26.04xx.xx.

so is my radio too updated that i must flash a lower baseband before the super CID can work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I don't know where to begin with that post. Why not come into the IRC channel in my sig after reading the manual?

Most downgrade failures occur because the goldcard failed; either the CID was copied incorrectly or the sdcard is corrupt. The purpose of the downgrade is to get the radio/rom downgraded to the level that is exploitable. SuperCID has nothing to do with any of this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] frostmore:
Hi attn,

I was a douche.

I got the phone from someone else and was trying to downgrade it.My first Phone went without a hitch,this second one gave me problem.didn't occur to me to restore it back to stok rom before downgrading and then super CID it.

All the problem was fixed when i restored it back to stock.Sorry about the trouble you have to go through.And thank you so much for replying bak to my post.

Oh yeah,I cannot thank you enough for making this process idiot proof.chances of bricking my inspire is close to none if instructions were followed.Thanks a million mate!
[HTC Inspire 4G] wdkingery:
attn1 you are great!

i unlocked my phone with v10, and just did wifey's with v11a, and i must say it was virtually impossible to screw up! easy to do!

i did find that the cmd crashed after the gold card is created, but after that no problems at all! she's unlocked and we are good to go!

thanks a million!

Wifi issues after rooting

I just rooted my inspire 4g everything went smoothly except now the wifi connects but the browser doesnt load any pages any ideas what ciuld be causing that
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Download the new 11b script and try the alternate downgrade method.

Come into the IRC channel in my sig.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Timelord83:
So im rooted with your kit and I'm happy with the result just a few issues.

1) If my friends send me multiple pictures at the same time I get a blank text from them then if I access the context menu and try to view them the messages app force close.

2) anyway to make my phone register as an Inspire 4G again my htc sync calls it a desire.

3) do I have an att radio still? I noticed before I rooted att pushed an update and my download speeds double after rooting I am back to old speeds.

Thanks,

James

Excellent Hack Kit!!!

Using your excellent Hack Kit I was able to root, SIM unlocked and radio S-OFF my first Android smartphone. Everything worked as the effen manual says.

Thanks a lot attn1!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] puri1:
@ Attn 1 and to all ppl here Thanks for the Amazingly easy program for rooting. I did it yesterday night and I didn't pay a lot of attention because I watching movie while doing the process and to be honest it didn't give me any single error and my phone was root with in no time. I used v11a Version. So thanks again and keep up with good work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
If you are still using the rom your left with after using the hack kit, then you need to flash a new rom with the OTA updates included. This one is a completely stock rom with the faster data speeds you are looking for.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042

Or you can flash one of the many custom roms, they all have the faster data speeds.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
I started this process earlier tonight and think I have a problem. My only experience rooting is on my old captivate so this process is giving me a headache. . . LOL.

Anyway, I have gone through the goldcard process and started to downgrade. The phone rebooted and is now stuck at a black screen with htc on it and thats all. My cmd window's last line is INFOsignature checking . . .

I have been stuck on this for about 30 min now and have no idea where to go from here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Try the 11b script and the alternate downgrade method in it.

Or come into the IRC channel and we'll get you past it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] l Frosty l:
Were you able to figure out what was causing the wifi issues?

Hey Attn1:

How long does the Sending Zip normally take?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
2 or 3 minutes. If it's stuck there, try the alternate downgrade in the 11b script.

Most likely, fastboot flash isn't working right, and the file can be pushed with adb and flashed in hboot.
[HTC Inspire 4G] l Frosty l:
I downloaded the 11b script. and i tried to run it through terminal, but i kept getting errors saying "Permission Denied". Am i supposed to run it via terminal?
[HTC Inspire 4G] dinkk007:

Radio

hey guys i just got my HTC Inspire and it came with the Newest radio by AT&T (12.39a.60.19U_26.06.06.30_M) before i use the hack kit i saw that it has the older radio and ive herd that you sometimes cant flash to a older one. so whats the recommended options i have? can i find the newest radio listed above somewhere and flash it? as it says i can flash any radio i choose..? any advice? thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] macdude15:
i keep getting a error "Check adb connectivity and then the terminal closes after about 3 seconds. what do i do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
I've noticed some are having trouble getting the hack kit started, so I thought I would ask....

-do you have htc sync installed, and then uninstalled just leaving the drivers

-is your phone in charge only mode

-is usb debugging enabled

-is fast boot turned off

-all virus protection off (anti virus, windows defender, firewall)

All prior to downloading

Then are you you....

Downloading ace-hack-kit-v11a.zip...then unzipping to a folder of your choice....go in to that folder and delete....hack-ace.cmd.....then go back to this thread, download hack-ace.cmd v11b and stick that in your newly unzipped file...then of course run as administrator (windows..right click, run as administrator)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jayjaypops:
this is exactly whats happening to me. i did everything perfectly. now, i took out my sim, connected to my wifi, and i clicked on market or browser, and nothing. says no connection at all. any idea?

also...

i wanted to install this aswell ([ROM] Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M) for the OTA updates and faster data speed. my questions are how? will i be able to just copy paste it somwhere and let the .cmd do all the work? and will root stick if OTA updates are installed through?

BTW, Wonderful program. helped me out so much. the only problem now is the browser or market... well basically the phone can connect to wifi's but wont receive any packets... please help me ASAP.

my list to try is, try the 11b version, start the whole process againm then install the [ROM] Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M. Hopefully it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
I just missed you in IRC.

No need to start over again - it's not going to make a difference. The ROM you are planning to use should work fine. If you need assistance, stop back in IRC.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jayjaypops:
i basically answered my own question... i think

correct me if im wrong but downloading the [ROM] Ace_Cingular_US_1.84.502.11-Radio-26_06_06 _30_M then putting it on to the SD card and using rom manager to download a rom fixes the wifi and data issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
Yes it should fix your wifi issue...this page should help you install that rom

[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
Do I need to format my sd card for this. I've tried v11a and b and cannot get it to downgrade. When I run the downgrade process the phone rebootes and gets now stuck at a black screen with htc on it and thats all it does. My cmd window's last line is INFOsignature checking . . .

If I use a different sd card do I have to leave that one in the phone, or can I put a new one in the phone once I've rooted the phone? I want to try a different card but the only other one I have is a 2 gb and I want to use the 8gb that came with my phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
Your best bet is to use the SD card your phone came with, a lot of people haven't had much luck trying to create a gold card with any other SD cards. And once you get it rooted, you can do whatever you want with the SD card, format it, or just keep using it like normal...gold card files do not take up that much space.

As far as being stuck on the black screen, the only help I can offer is, check back one page (page 124) did you miss any steps I posted?

EDIT: I didn't need to format my SD card when I rooted...but you might try it as a last resort.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
I had my phone in fastboot. I will turn it off and try again. I must have missed your post earlier. Thanks!

Ok I'm at work right now without access to a computer but one of my associates wants to know if I can flash there inspire for them... my question is whether or not z4root is sufficient for rom manager to back up... or do I absolutely need a perma root?
[HTC Inspire 4G] schinner16:
Huge thanks for the hack kit, really simple and worked like a charm!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
I checked your steps and have everything set as you said. I used v11b this time and made it to the hboot screen and it hangs there now. I can do nothing to the phone aside from removing the battery and restarting the phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
Sorry I am all out of ideas, when you say you made it to the hboot screen....does that mean you made it through any of the steps step 1, 2 or 3? Or can't even get that far?

Unless someone else has an idea, you should try to get ahold of attn1 and maybe he can walk you through it, here is the link to his irc channel...

http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
I ran the alternate downgrade step (think it was #9 in the menu) and the phone gets to the fastboot screen. I push power to take it to the hboot screen and then nothing happens from there. I think I'm going to try again tomorrow and then I will check out his irc channel if I cant get it to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
Would it matter that I have the OTA update installed, or does it have to be bone stock?
[HTC Inspire 4G] attn1:
Rom manager doesn't back up - it's a front end for clockworkmod. You need clockworkmod installed.

The hack kit will work with the OTA installed.

This is caused by an SDCARD with a corrupted boot sector.

[HTC Inspire 4G] S.Reno9:
Try doing a format of your SD card (not a quck format) and then start all over...
[HTC Inspire 4G] kwanbis:
Excellent. One thing that would be good, is that after each step (1, 2 and 3), there should be some pop up to remember us to go to the options and enable debug mode again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dayresnky1:
Formatted the SD card this am, same result...cannot complete S-off. same error. It appears some file/data is not making its way to the device.

I checked and the downgrade did not install. I tried the alternate, no luck there. "error copying backup file", I was pretty thorough, Symantec disabled. Sync uninstalled. Debugging enabled. At a loss at this point. Definitely more involved than flashing my old Tilt2!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
So do I need to use a different sd card then?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gene Poole:
If you've got a spare, give it a try, otherwise, it may be a hard error in the SDCard (they're more common than you'd think). You could try a full long format and hope it clears.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
I've tried a full format before so I guess I'm going to try a new card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fadetoblack2104:
The new card seems to be working. Thank you all who have helped me!

Also, after I'm rooted can I put my old sd card in? The new one I'm using to root is quite a bit smaller than the one that came with the phone.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Buchez:
All,

I recently had my phone replaced and had to root all over again. I used attn1's new hack kit and had a few issues. I am back up and running, having restored from a backup and seem to have root and S-Off, but I do have a question about what I saw using this newer method.

From the cmd line, when I ran option 3, s-off, superCID etc... I saw a bunch of stuff scroll by (looked important:p), then my phone rebooted to CWM's recovery manager and that was it. On my PC's display I saw that it was waiting for something, then scrolled by with about 10 error messages and that was it. Has anyone seen this before, does that even make sense?? :confused:

needless to say, this process was much easier then the older process. I've rebooted my phone, made some calls, installed some apps, and everything "seems" to be working ok, but I have that not so "warm and fuzzy" feeling.

Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kwanbis:
Is this true? Does it means that if i have done all the steps, my phone can be used with a non AT&T sim?
[HTC Inspire 4G] diablo009:
