bubby i rooted girls inspire 4 days ago after she got the update ....shes had 2 diffrent roms on there since then
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Cool beans, thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fmac:
First of all, thanks for making this program and this post.. its really useful.

But.. unfortunately I am having one little problem, I am running through the instructions and I am stuck after downgrading (I think its this step because I have everything stock) and I think I messed it up because I pressed the key to continue under the command mode before checking the Allow Unsoucersed apps and before unchecking the Fast Boot, so now the command prompt is stucked at: *daemon started succesfully*, I checked the video and this process is quite fast(Min 9:26), I waited more than 10 minutes and nothing happened yet, is there any way to fix this?

Thanks a lot for your help..

EDIT: FIXED, Sorry for the trouble. Hope not to get back soon for any other problem :/
[HTC Inspire 4G] HAYDENB:
Im having a problem while rooting. My device finds the PD98.zip file or whatever its called after it goes through its thing it says Model ID Incorrect UPDATE Fail. Any ideas
[HTC Inspire 4G] eeter:
Gingerbread

I have the official Gingerbread 2.3.3 on my inspire. Can I root it using this method?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Read the FAQ please. That is indicative of a bad goldcard. Try making it again using the full format function in windows, as opposed to quick format.

If you are running a gingerbread Rom, you should already be rooted. There is no "official" gingerbread for the inspire. It hasn't been released yet, unless I missed something huge. What on earth are you trying to accomplish?

[HTC Inspire 4G] Juju07:
I'm new to this whole rooting process. I'm past loading the PD98IMG.zip file. Now I'm at the point where it says "daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037" "daemon started successfully" Nothing is happening. It's like it's stuck at this stage. I think this is the point where the radio is suppose to load. This is the second time I've reached this stage.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Edit: And I've followed what's in the FAQ

Edit #2: Never mind. My laptop kept not recognizing the ADB drivers. Successfully rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Good job! :) always double check fastboot, usb debugging, and charge only, and if it pushed the image, your adb should be ok lol. Sometimes it takes unplugging the phone and plugging it back in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s14evil:
i am unable to get back into terminal emulator after going through this step

(/data/tmp/rage).... i back out of terminal, tryed to get back in... i got the force close, ok then i tryed to get back it to the terminal and nothing happen. and the phone is runnig slow.... please help
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Try going to the market and downloading another terminal emulator and continuing from there. If it shows "#", you're golden.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Cmon dude. Lets get an update anyway ;-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bori1030:
I've done all this and my question is does this allow me to use another carrier sim card
[HTC Inspire 4G] elmanortega:
try diferent memory cards
[HTC Inspire 4G] elmanortega:
no this wont unlock your device for other carriers
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
You sure about that? Last time I checked the rooting process does SIM unlock.

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] cocchiararo:
It unlocked mine :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
For the 100th time, yes, it does.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Lol. [Sigh]

If I recall, the actual program lists the things it accomplishes, unlock being one of the things listed.

People don't even seem to want to read the text of a program that's doing a substantial modification to their phone.

Unreal.

Hat tip, to you, ClearD... :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Hahaha thank you! The search button does wonders, but just in case, I just added that to the faq. I swore I already had it there, but apparently it was lost mid-thought. It is there now, though. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bpodz34:
I am stuck at "Pushing cooked (rooted) ATT stock from for restore, this will take a little while"...ive been on this screen for over 10 minutes now help =)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Double check your settings that you turned usb debugging on a second time as well as fastboot off a second time, and that you're in charge only mode. If that doesn't do the trick, download the PD98IMG.zip from the faq, boot into hboot by rebooting holding volume down, and run the update. It is the stock rooted Rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] HAYDENB:
im at the part where you type in /data/local/tmp/rage how long am i supposed to wait for it to display forked####childs
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
If it worked, maybe a minute. If not, type it again. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] HAYDENB:
Ive typed it a couple times and waited a couple minutes and nothing happened.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyb81:
does this method work after installing the official HSUPA OTA?
[HTC Inspire 4G] REDFOCZ:
I just rooted my phone last night using this program, it was easy and fast thank you bubby for your good work
[HTC Inspire 4G] kawie95:
Help! So I got everything as was running the script and got the downgraded rom running. The script told me to connect the phone as charge only, and the downgraded rom prompted me for language, setup, etc. When I hit charge only and hit OK in the script (before I did the setup) it told me my phone needs to be connected. THen it said daemon starting on port something and never connected. I exited the command window and tried hit the downgrade/root button on the installer again, and it said daemon connecting on port something again and would not connect.

What do I do to finish? Is it done? O_O Am I stuck with a non-rooted downgraded rom?

Other than that, awesome install. I have no clue what I am doing here with all these scripts, but its easy :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kawie95:
Ooh, and it doesnt have sound when I call voicemail or anyone else. eek
[HTC Inspire 4G] HAYDENB:
Ok i need some help here. im trying to root my phone and i get to the point where i get the downgraded rom on my phone and when i get to the part of typing in the cmd /data/local/tmp/rage nothing happens.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kawie95:
Found your FAQ, I disabled fast boot just now, along with enabling USB debugging (I could not find it on the old rom). Will try again.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] ee23hd2:
Hey guys, im new to this thread and the inspire, so i need a little help, im used to my cappy, and never used this method. I got to the part where u re-open terminal emulator, I got the force close, then went back to open it again, and i get extreme lag, and a white scree, then shortly after a black screen. What should i do here? reboot? or what?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scotsman828:
Watched the video and followed the prompts and was patient, now I have a rooted Inspire. Thanks very much for such a simple process!!!!!! Donation coming your way :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kawie95:
Upside down photos, Landscape emails/apps/etc?

For some reason, my email and yelp will only stay in landscape mode, it does not rotate. And pictures I take are upside down in the photo gallery... Kinda strange. Anyone else have a similar issue and/or fix?
[HTC Inspire 4G] da9b16:
Thanks to Bubby for making this available for us to do! I do have a question before I get started. I noticed that the last update to the executable on page 1 has not been updated since March. Is that file the MOST recent one available? Just want to make 100% certain I have all my stuff in order before I start this process. Thanks again for everything.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lazerus06:
I have read and re read the original post and I see the link to the file, but I dont see any instructions posted. Are they included in the file?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hungmung:
It pretty much gives you step by step instructions I just did this earlier and it was pretty ready just make sure to read everything carefully
[HTC Inspire 4G] da9b16:
finished in just under an hour due to my son needing a bath- 2 phone calls and more...... Thanks for all the information and tutorial.... donations in the am for you!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] guy4even:
Thank you Bubby for making this rooting process so easy. I had no prior experience with android and even though this is my first time rooting, it was very easy. I have been following this thread since its beginning (I didn't have a phone at that time though :D). I would also like to thank ClearD for his contribution in this thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
ClearD is an amazing contributer to this thread, even when I don't have time to be around due to school. Once school is out guys I'll start to update this program some more.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Don't know if you want to post it on the second post or not bubby, but the "Gold Card Tool" that just let me make a goldcard in about 30 seconds is here:

Gold Card Tool 0.05

It's pretty easy and straightforward. For our phones, you have to select the MMC0 option (MMC1 is selected by default and won't work with our Inspire).

For those that don't want to "waste" a microSD card making a goldcard...

-Connect your phone to PC via USB Storage mode

-Create a folder on your desktop labeled "Inspire MicroSD Card"

-Drag and drop all the contents of your microSD card into this folder

There! You now have a backup of your entire microSD card that you can put back on the card after you root and S-Off! ;) You only really need a goldcard once, unless something goes horribly, horribly wrong in the future. But that's what Nandroid backups are for.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rawb123456:
Anyone lose service when removing SD card? (stock SD card). Even when I place a new SD card in the phone I don't have service.

Ps. Maybe the wrong section but I took notice of this when making a good card. I would assume most of you have followed similar processes. Thanks for your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
One more quick question.

In the hack kit, you have to downgrade the radio, root the phone, then upgrade the radio back to stock. Does this include the upgrade?

I want to do this in the morning, so if this app isn't available, I'm just gonna try following the hack kit guide.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Question I downloaded hack kit and it saves as .tar.gz file what do I use to open the file ?

from this beautiful shiny device they call "inspire"
[HTC Inspire 4G] 9646gt:
I can't wait to see this program release :) I will donate for sure! I have been fighting with the hack kit for hours and hours :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
7zip, freeware.
[HTC Inspire 4G] altereddezignz:
If the cover is not on the phone that covers the sd card u will not.have service. There are a couple little brass tabs that have to make contact.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RBDH:
you'll get service back once you replace the cover. If you look on the cover you will see 2 contacts to complete a circuit. Bothered me at first too.

EDIT: sorry altereddezignz, didn't notice you had already posted an answer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Alpha due out today. Its working, irs421 has s-off, root, and clockwork thanks to it. :)

Just a few lines need fixed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] m1ke420:
I cant wait. Good work man.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Since this didn't get answered, ill ask it again. It's one last simple question.

In the hack kit, you have to downgrade the radio, root the phone, then upgrade the radio back to stock. Does this include the upgrade? I want to do this in the morning, so if this app isn't available, I'm just gonna try following the hack kit guide.
[HTC Inspire 4G] 2udCrRAZdK:
Not sure what "upgrade" you're referring to here. In the process you've described above, when you're done you should simply have a "rooted" version of the original stock rom as well as the original version of the radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
The last step in the hack kit is flashing the original radio back onto the phone. I didn't see that listed in this GUI, so I was asking.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rawb123456:
Thanks. Make sense now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Wow, I just did the steps from the hack kit and it was incredibly easy. Downloading ROM now and will flash it in a few minutes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Awesome, I've been playing with both methods all night. Both easy, one will be a little easier soon :). I could do them both in my sleep now...
[HTC Inspire 4G] BzeBwoi:
How soon we talking? I'm anxious lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I have a few things to work out with Bubby but ultimately his call. I pretty sure he said today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattmiller:
Thanks a million I am patient but not patient enough lol

from this beautiful shiny device they call "inspire"
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Hot dang! Can't wait!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You guys are awesome :)

To the user that is stuck downgraded, assuming you are now s-off, read the faq, then find the PD98IMG.zip in the superuser force close section. Download that, then put it on your SD card. Turn fastboot off, usb debugging on, and hold volume down while you reboot the phone. This will take you into hboot bootloader and it will ask you if you want to install the update. Select yes and let it upgrade your Rom back to the factory rooted one. Delete the PD98IMG.zip file from your SD card when finished and you're done.

If you are still s-on, simply run the program again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] badhand386:
I keep getting stuck in HBOOT, I can see the 'Parsing...(sd Zip) and then the 1-13 numbers but it never moves forward... what am I doing wrong? It never asks me if I want to install the update
[HTC Inspire 4G] j.petritus@comcast.net:
HTC sustem update 1.84.502.11

I used the one click and it worked great, only when I checked my HTC updates it had a system update 1.84.502.11. when I tried to install it the phone goes to a black screen and the caution triangle and little green android. If I pull the battery the phone comes back but still wants to install the system update. How do I install it or get around it. I'm new to phone hacking so speak idiot speech to me, thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] s14evil:
Down load the new update, asc ruu
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mil'Dravin:
Use this updated rom:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
[HTC Inspire 4G] matrx10503:
Important:

This is where I was getting hung up at! I am computer savvy and I had trouble at this exact spot and the previous attempts I always hit a brickwall here and couldn't get further....but that is because it is important to continue ALL THE WAY THROUGH to upgrade rom (ATT stock) after downgrading!!

Major Tip:

Once you have downgraded your rom and it has booted. Your command prompt should be at "press any key to continue"

Make sure to disable fast boot and enable USB debugging.

As you enable USB Debugging....cmd prompt should continue and finally read "HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click: Radio Exploit"

Now follow instructions...(terminal emulator, typing commands, etc.)

Until you get to "Pushing cooked (rooted) ATT stock rom for restore...."

This DID take awhile for me.....I almost exited out, but thankfully I waited....don't know how long, but took longer than first time it pushed rom (downgrade).

Now from there follow instructions....and should be S-OFF now....

And ultimately it will say "Your phone is now S-OFF, rooted, Clockword Recovery"

Once you boot, you should have stock AT&T Rooted rom, with SuperUser and Rom Manager installed

You should be able to flash to custom rom through 1. Rom Manager 2. Recovery (Manually)

Note: I didn't uninstall my Anti-Virus. I have AVG and I had to keep temporarily disabling 15 minutes max at a time. Everything still worked out

So at times AVG was enabled throughout the process.

If possible though....DO WHAT THEY RECOMMEND: Disable antivirus/firewall (uninstallation is at your discretion)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Correct. If something isn't working, always read the faq and check the "before you begin" section. Some AntiVirus programs actually need uninstalled (microsoft security essentials) before you begin as they act much like a virus themselves and disabling them does not actually disable them.

Personal opinion, Microsoft security essentials, free or not, is worse than most viruses. I do IT work, also, btw. Mostly virus removal.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Xenithflare:
Question for you, since you mentioned it; which of the multitude of AV programs do you recommend? I'm running Win7 Ult 32-bit (temporarily, will soon be upgrading to 64), and MSE is my main AV software. I don't want to upgrade my system with brand-new, sexy parts and have a **** protection service, you know?

On-topic, I just decided to root my 4-day old Inspire while reading this thread, but I'll have to wait until tonight after I get off work. Kudos on the kick-ass GUI, Bubby!

--------------

Okay, so it's (after two edits) five in the morning, I've been watching this guy searching for the IMG.zip since about 11pm, and it's failed enough times that it kicked back to the HBOOT menu. That's fine, I've been otherwise occupied during that time, so no bigs. I went through the CMD log, and I see a couple errors that shouldn't normally be there (like the .zip failing to copy. Could've noticed that earlier). Image attached. I'm still S-On, so nothing has been accomplished thus far.

Any ideas? I've gone ahead and manually downloaded the PD98IMG.zip, just wondering where to go from here :P And yes, I've disabled my AV and firewall, checked USB debugging and Charge Only, Gold Card created perfectly, no issues... I've even redownloaded this tool just to make sure. WIN: Had to use a different Gold Card. Which is odd, the problem didn't immediately point to the solution, as did several of the other issues people have had with the cards. I must've read nearly every page, ignoring this solution because "I wasn't having the same problem." :P Silly me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] webbdh2003:
So I'm a little confused and mainly have oen question:

This will root the phone but reflash the ROM therefore loose all data on the phone. In addition it WILL be stock ROM so updates will work the same as unrooted stock ROM would...correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] matrx10503:
I don't know if Gold Card helped me...but when doing this process it can't hurt to try the processes again including redoing GC, because it is pertinent toward the rooting process....you need it to root
[HTC Inspire 4G] Xenithflare:
No, you will be unable to utilize any OTA updates. You'll have to flash new "stock" ROMs with said updates cooked in.
[HTC Inspire 4G] matrx10503:
To add on to what Xenithflare said.

After you root, if you want the stock OTA

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

Thats probably what you want

If your like me....I just flash updated my radio to the one thats from the OTA. So now I have the latest "stock/OTA radio" from AT&T, but still have a custom rom (Like ClearD, CoreD, MDJ, etc.)

I don't know what the other "updates/fixes" to the rom are, but probably doesn't matter as custom roms are almost guranteed better than the stock OTA AT&T rom.....(well when they don't have certain issues....cough)

I actually did the OTA update before I rooted, but only used for like 2 seconds

So to each its own...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
+1 it can say goldcard completed and you can still have a corrupt gold card. Don't quick format. Go the distance!
[HTC Inspire 4G] webbdh2003:
Ok and there is no way to just get Root permissions on the normal stock ROM. (I may be looking at the wrong topic) I used to have the HTC Aria and it would be rooted but stock ROM...this is not possible for Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
Start over. Make sure to have the USB drivers and anti virus software(uninstalled)/firewall/windows firewall off
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
That's what you get with this. You downgrade to unlock bootloader. Then upgrade eventually and get s off
[HTC Inspire 4G] webbdh2003:
Ok, but with this, stock OTA updates won't work, just upgrade each time I need to update?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Terrold:
Yeah I'm on my phone or I would find the update for you. Just search Google and you can get the latest ota update. And update it through hboot
[HTC Inspire 4G] webbdh2003:
Ok thanks, I may or may not do this, still undecided. Thanks for your help though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Best bet is to use a rooted Rom that is stock based with the OTA updates cooked in. ClearDroid does it. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] webbdh2003:
How about Android Revolution, I was thinking about installing that if I rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
ClearD is going to get a kick out of this but it's been a while...If I restore back to stock using the PD98IMG but don't reverse any of the commands, leaving radio s-off will the phone still be carrier unlocked? Again, it's been a while.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
By the way ClearD this doesn't count for me, my question is a little different, kind of :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yessir ;) unless you do gfree -s on command, it will still be carrier unlocked (in theory).
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Had a brain fart, thanks ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Seriously, I'm very impressed Bubby.

I do have a couple of questions.

Does your rooted ROM include all the most current AT&T updates (or are those features already enabled)? At this point it's been a few days since reading the whole thing (had to get 10 posts up and all....). I do recall seeing the HSUPA (or whatever ABC soup) available separately, I just want to know if it's cooked in the final product.

Also, Am I best off to install the newest available CWM from Market after the device is downgraded and exploited? I thought I read that somewhere as well.

Thanks to all the devs, testers, and generally intelligent folks who post. And congrats to all the plebeians who actually make it through 320+ pages with your eyesight intact!
[HTC Inspire 4G] elmanortega:
im getting an error while instaling clockworkmode from rom manager
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Well that narrows it down.

Care to be a little more specific?

Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium
[HTC Inspire 4G] matrx10503:
I believe its pointless to try install CWM+Rom Manager+SuperUser all that when downgraded, because you don't has root access/permission etc. for all those programs to work right

You want to upgrade (finish this whole process) and Rom Manager+SuperUser and install CWM through Rom Manager...will be automatically installed.

Hopefully im on what you are talking about, excuse me if not!
[HTC Inspire 4G] elmanortega:
when you download rom manager is outdated

download the update

and install the CWM

done

now im on coredroid for inspire 4g rom amazing
[HTC Inspire 4G] ST3ALTHPSYCH0:
Thanks elmanortega and matrx10503, that answered my question. Now I just have to finish talking myself into undertaking the project.

I have fastboot off, debugging on and I select usb mass storage. I hear the tone from my computer when I connect to it and it says drivers installed but when I go to my computer I don't see the device. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay I see an Android phone under devices and printers however, I don't see it as a drive. I've tried several cables but I don't believe this is the problem.
