If you have GPS problem, try reinstalling Google Maps

I have not used this method to root my phone (wish this was available 3 days ago and I might have although I only have Linux systems so maybe not). But if you are having problems with GPS, download GPS test, go outside and see if you are locking 3 or more satellites, if you are GPS is working but whatever application you are using isn't. When I put in the stock rooted ROM someone else made, Google Maps did not work. I uninstalled Google Maps and then reinstalled Google Maps and all was happy. It seems some of the application data gets corrupted in the process. Hopefully this will help you as well.

Bubby - can we expect to see instructions to use your method from Linux and Mac in the future. I know you have a Linux system somewhere out there because you mentioned it. I have to say from what I have seen so far that it sounds like you are doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work.

Anyone able to help me fix this?

after i follow the steps for "exploit" it gives patching and backing up partition 7....

error opening copy file

so s is still on

also if i cannot get this to work how can i restore the rom to the original? I kinda need sound on my phone. Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] citlec53:
GPS now working

Thanks,

Re-installing Google maps fixed my GPS problem. Only thing left for me is the wifi teathering, but I am as good as new now, but with a rooted phone :-)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kent_Davis:
A true gentleman and a scholar! Kudos to you! :o)
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Just download WiFi tether from the market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
I am no dev like others but I do know that to restore to the original way your phone was, is to download and flash the stock Ruu from HTC and AT&T and as for doing it all you need do is make sure the debugging is on and that it is in charge mode and just click on the RUU on the desk top and it run's itself, you do need to click yes a couple of times but that is all.

I did the restore on mine last night when I could not get the exploit to work and my phone is back to the way it was when I took it out of the box.

This is the link to the RUU http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952224

Just download and run it to restore to factory!!!

You will need to reload all of your app's because it wipes everything on the phone!!!

Also do not be in a hurry because it takes between 15 to 20 minutes to do this and there are times that it looks as though it is stalled but it is not, just start it and let it do it's thing and you go do something else for that time. It can run on it's own, without supervision!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Happy to hear your GPS is working :). Tethering is an easy fix, documented a few times. All you need is a custom APN:

Notice it's not in the GUI anymore. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
Bubby THANK YOU for everything that you have done, I really appreciate what you have done but in my case it can never be simple enough, when it comes to the terminal emulator I fail miserably at it and cannot get it correct. I guess to old to learn new things. I will just keep it stock but want to thank you kindly for all your hard work, I wish my son would have turned out like you, your father can be proud, I know I would be!!!!;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Thanks. :) You never got the terminal part to work for you? :(

I'd be happy to help you through it. Contact me on gtalk geek.preston@gmail.com .
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
No when it came to the second set of instruction's it kept giving me a error and would not go any further. I input it several times and got the same result.

I do not know how to use gtalk, or if I even have it.

Thank You anyway. I will just keep it stock, I do not mind it that much now, just hate the data plan!!! Just a slight AT&T jab!!! SORRY!!!!:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Dont give up now! Your almost there. Whats your gtalk?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kent_Davis:
What is your problem?

REALLY? why do I wish your phone never works right? (just kidding) Go easy! I know you are excited and all but bubby is not your slave to abuse. He is a human with feelings and I for one am amazed how he held up under all the pressure you people put him under.

For the most part everybody behaves but a few of you that REALLY go over board with comments like this that are not appreciated or needed.

Once again - he is not on anyone's payroll and did all of this basically for free.

All the while, THINKING there was a bounty and good people standing behind it. We had a talk today about how people promise things to get what they want and when it comes to money, they rarely come though. But, you all enjoy the spoils of this kids hard work! :)

But like I told him, he is gaining valuable experience, and some good friendships on here.

I will monitor the rest of you and tell you what needs to be said - because that is how life is in the Davis household.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Trust me, we used to have AT&T we know how you feel. ;)

Broke mine !! Nothing can get su permissions now :(

And trying to run it again its just sitting there waiting for device
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kent_Davis:
That is why when I need things done to my phone - I let my kid do it for me! After all he IS the genius right? LOL :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
You took that post out of context. It was 2 in the am and I had a brick in my hands. There were no talks of running code in the phone or anything but one click. Frustration was high and I still have yet to get this "one click" thing to work correctly. I am having the CWM issues the same as several other people. And now there is a fix we are waiting for. I know this is free, but my phone was not. And I also understand that this is at my risk, but supposedly it works flawlessly. Not the case. Now get off your high horse and donate to him if you had a flawless experience. I will too when this all gets sorted out and I have what I have been working on for the last 12 hours/.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Carhigh, you're killing me :) What's going on? What are you trying to run again and where did it "break"?
[HTC Inspire 4G] aenergydrink:
"Main Version is older!

Update Fail!

Press <POWER> to reboot."

This is what i am getting. I remade the gold card just incase, and still does not work. Whats going on?
[HTC Inspire 4G] carhigh:
You make no sense. I didnt flame everyone. I didnt flame anyone. All i wanted to know why my so.... you know what, its not even worth it if you cant read what i was after

Thanks for the nasty PM too. I will consider the offer of a gun to use to commit myself to hell
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Lol bro, that's my dad, he donates enough. If you are having problems I am available on gtalk to talk you through the process if you need me. Add me, and hit me up, geek.preston@gmail.com . ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
?&^%#$???

OK.....
[HTC Inspire 4G] ddiehl:
I just want to add my two cents here. This phone has been out only two weeks. I think the progress bubby's made in such a short time is incredible. I've come to accept the fact that I'm not yet up to this task at this time NOT because of the tool the developer has created, but MY OWN limitations. I'm choosing to wait and let this project evolve. Even Bubby stated on more then one occasion that this is a work in progress. I'm confidant that it'll get better, and easier. Hopefully without the need for the goldcard. I really want to root this phone, and I will. With this tool.

In closing, I want to add two things:

1. This is a DEVELOPER site where people are working hard to help noobs like me.

2. Remember that everytime you point a finger at someone, there's three more pointing right back.

I'll choose to wait patiently, as this tool evolves.

Keep up the good work. You are a talented young man Bubby..
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Carhigh contact me on gtalk, geek.preston@gmail.com . Don't worry about what everyone is saying just talk to me and we will get you through the program just fine. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmaner:
I have been busy as of late, so I haven't paid special attention to this thread in the las few days. That being said I must say Im suprised on 2 points...

1. That the coder (dev) is 14 years old. I mean...damn. Thats just impressive.

2. That some people in this community are such tards. Maybe I'm just an Alabama red neck (I have a BS and am a certified Engineer) but I would throw a serious beating on anyone who talked to my kid that way, specifically when said kid is doing great work for FREE (defined here)

Now that my soapbox is put safely away I will congratulate bubby323 on superior coding skills, props dude. ...and true to my word, $20 bucks is on its way to ya via paypal (confirmation: 683260926H1043546).

One question, I realize the locked nand is pain to work around, but do you see an advancement to root without the use of a gold card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
Can't blame you for that Kent. I think you have a great kid and that he is gonna go far. He's certainly gained my respect and that of quite a few others on here as well. As for the moaners and groaners, they are just folks that are wanting something for nothing and this place is full of them. Too ornery to have followed a basic walkthrough in the original hack kit supplied by attn1, and now too ornery to type in a few simple commands in terminal, which by the way is a much simplified method as opposed to the original hack kit. But what should we expect from those that are mostly the same ones that refuse to use the search function on here to find what they are needing. They refuse to follow the rules because they all believe they are entitled to a free ride on most things in life and they will take advantage of anyone at any time just to get what they want. Their lack of respect and total disregard for the "good" people of this community really does turn my stomach at times.

Keep up the good work with the parenting stance that you are practicing. Bubby is destined to be one of the great "givers" of this community and I for one applaud his knowledge and efforts to try and please all of these folks who are so very ungrateful. I for one tried Bubby's simpleoneclick yesterday and ended up with a pretty much unusable device. But I slept on it, got up this morning and tried it again. I am not afraid to admit that all of my problems were caused by me and only me, not caused by the program that he supplied.

If these folks would just take a look inside themselves and rethink their methods and actions, they would most likely see that the problems that they are experiencing are most likely due to operator error. But no, they want to immediately lash out at the first person that comes to mind and that would be Bubby. None of them are willing to admit that it could have been "them" who made the mistake that caused them to not get the desired end result. They are always right and everyone else is wrong.

Bubby, keep it up guy. You've got what it takes, make the best use of it and thanks a bucketload!!

By the way -> Confirmation number: 9TM81569CW8129105 <- $25.00 sent your direction and I didn't even pledge on the bounty.

Let the above be a challenge to everyone who has successfully rooted their device with simple one click to do the same or even better.

HTR
[HTC Inspire 4G] carhigh:
I'm sorry. I'm not trying to get to anyone. I was just trying what was suggested to get non market Alps working by running superoneclick and it didn't work. No big deal. I will rerun the update tomorrow to fix it. If anyone else tried that and it worked what version of superone click did work for you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Thanks immensely for the donation and sticking to your word, that means alot around here. I've been discussing some ways to streamline the process even more, with some people and it's definitely coming in the future. Thanks again bro. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
It's about to get a lot easier, although you'll still need a gold card. Hint, hint. Bubby is going to kill me :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
Tell your dad to stop sending me and others nasty PMs. I blocked him. I am very frustrated here, and last night you took a few jabs at me like I was unable to follow directions. Your directions in the command windows are very vague and do not completely match what it going on with the phone at that moment. And Im sorry if at the point where I was supposed to go into terminal emulator and run commands that I had no idea I was supposed to do. Thats where the one click thing came into play. This requires a real instruction file where you can see exactly what its supposed to look like BEFORE you are thrust into the point of no return parts. I found a video on youtube from the person that was doing the hackerkit method, but it included that same exact step with the term emulator and it was different then what you said needed to be done. You skipped an entire step. After you run the gfree command then you need to rerun the data/local/tmp/rage command and then sync. Thats not what I did. And it looks like several other noobs are in the same boat. No flames here, just frustration.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Lrs! Gtalk! Now! Just kidding, yes it will more than likely still require a gold card. :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kent_Davis:
I will tell you and the whole world that YOU ALL BETTER BE NICE. I will PM anyone I feel is out of line. I have explained this that Bubby is 14 ---a minor and you will treat him with respect--- or I will pull him from the project. That is my right as his DAD. Mr. Mustang, you will tone it done tired or not and stop accusing my son of taking jabs at you.

He has done nothing but take all of this crap you throw with respect and dignity as his mother and I have taught him.

Block me. We can have our conversations in public - because I am a bulldog when it comes to my kids.

So Mustang - apologize and be nice even when you are cranky, tired and frustrated.

Thank you

Kent Davis
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I can't really control what he does, he's just trying to be a good parent and protect his son. If you feel you need to block him then so be it, no hurt feelings here and I'm sure he isn't hurting over it either. His main point is that you should just stay calm, and not be so quick to point fingers.

Comparing the root kit to my program isn't accurate those extra steps weren't needed.

Again if you need me to guide you through it I will.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
Well at this point, I am back to stock but still s-off. I would like to get the whole phone back to oem and start from scratch. How can this be accomplished? I used the RUU you so wonderfully and sarcastically posted a few hundred pages back and that got the OS to oem. Now how to get back to complete oem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Once you get back to stock with RUU all that's left is to turn radio security back on and formating the SD card. I recommend turning s-on before returning to stock, it's difficult to achieve without root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I'm sorry if I came of as rude, just as you said it was late, indeed. I wasn't sure if the ruu would get you S-ON or not, my bad. You don't have to go back to stock to re-run the program just relaunch it again and follow the directions. Also make sure you have the newest one downloaded, it fixed a lot of the errors. Be patient and watch what your doing in the program it can be done right. I believe you can do it. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
Did you reboot as I stated?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
If you have something else coming very soon that will make this way easier, let me know. If so, then I would rather wait for that. If not, then I will try the newest one and see where I end up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kent_Davis:
I agree

very well said indeed! :0)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Download the one here and try it. If that doesn't work for you. I'm on gtalk. It should work, if you have a little patience. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
?Quick and Painless Question?

@bubby323

One question, am I correct in assuming that the part##backup.bin, pd98img.zip and su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip files can safely be deleted from the sd card now that the operation is complete?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Yes sir. Those really should be removed by the scripts, I'll add that in. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
Thanks, I figured it would be safe to do so but just wanted to make sure.

BTW .... In case you missed it, there is a paypal confirmation a couple of pages back, along with a challenge for others to do the same. Thanks for the hard work you have put in, and are still putting in to this project!

I have thrown down the gauntlet, any takers?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ZXMustang:
Thanks for your efforts on this, but Im going to stop here. I just want a working phone and at this point its working. I'll check back to see what new processes are out in a few weeks. By then there should be a real no nonsense one click root. Hopefully its from you. Keep up the good work.

And Kent, I'm a parent too of two babies so I know where you are coming from. No harm no foul. I would kill for my babies. Hopefully nobody will make me have to.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Kent_Davis:
My wife and I are blessed beyond our wildest dreams. You know Bubby will be 15-- in about a month and if you knew his story you would be amazed. He certainly has come a long way from the 3 lbs 13 oz ---31 week premature baby that he started out as when he shocked us with his early birth. For us to see what he is able to do today is absolutely amazing indeed.

Thank you for appreciating him and what he is doing.

It is posts like this that make it worthwhile for him and also when he can help someone troubleshoot their way to a solution. Bubby truly has a heart of gold.

Thanks for the kind words, caring thoughts and encouragement for they mean a lot to me as a parent and to him as the person (brains) behind the project.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
I'm having the same problem Bubby, I downloaded the latest version from ROM Manager as well, but when I try to boot into recovery it goes to the HTC Screen, then about 10 seconds later when recovery tries to come up the screen fades to black. Now, I Googled and apparently a lot of people have had issues like this and it has to do with the Super LCD, but I don't know whether that is the problem here or not, I guess I could go through the whole thing again, but I'd rather not ;)

[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
On a related note, every time when I do try to go into recovery and I get the black screen, when it comes back up and I try to access the Superuser Permissions App it force closes, and I have to go into Applications and clear it's data, and that fixes it. Just something else that is odd. I have what I need for now, but I would like to have CWM working for the future, and I am wondering now if it does indeed work, but the black screen issue is just preventing me from seeing the screen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Going through 120 pages to find this answer is very consuming haha. So instead I'll just ask again possibly...is there going to be a Mac version or do I need to borrow a PC?

This seems very difficult coming from an iPhone 4 where jailbreaking was retarded-simple. But I got very good at editing their code and customizing so I look forward to it when I get my Inspire (1st Android phone) tomorrow! Might have a lot of questions for you guys!

That's the first half of my bounty ($10), since I'm now full root and S-Off. And as stated in my bounty request, bubby will get the second half when he finishes the "warranty-on" button. ;)

I don't necessarily need it, but I know he CAN do it and it would make many of your lives easier. This is my faith in Bubby. ;)

Way to go, bro. Your enthusiasm for this might have re-sparked my coding interest into visual studio GUI work. Never did know how to make one before...

There will be one in the future (it is planned), but there is not one YET. Borrow a PC for now. ;)

gold card

is the gold card necessary to use the take advantage of the optional features? i have completed the process and i am currently stock w/ root....but i already reformatted my sd card.

can i run the optional scripts with out the gold car? thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] epicKA8:
well i finally got it to work, after borrowing 2 different PC's (mac user), finally did get it working.

I was getting stuck on getting s-off but several hundred tries later i got it.

now i'm trying the optional stuff, and wondering any of them actually work?

I just get "$" after daemon started for the bloat and sideload

and for the hsupa, i did that and i get "failed to copy...read only file" now i'm getting poor reception after the reboot

any solutions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
None of them work in this release.
[HTC Inspire 4G] epicKA8:
that would make sense ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmaner:
Ive tried about a dozen time with both the original release and then the revised release and keep hanging on the update, it fails to copy to the sd card because of a read only file system error. No biggie, I'll just wait until the next realse that was hinted at earlier. thanks

My phone is in a restarting loop. htc flashes on then resets... Tried to pull battery and hold down volume rocker and power. Hboot comes up and re-loads PD98Img.zip. Everytime I start update Radio V2 fails and goes into restart loop... Any suggestions? Thanks in advance..
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Make sure you have it in charge mode and not disk drive or mounted. That would make it fail, it may also be your card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ScottTicino:
How do I get back to be able to put in charge mode.. Once I hit vol up yes it starts the update.. It will finish all updates and fail. Then says to hit power and thats when htc will come on and go off over and over like its in a reset loop..

everything is ok from 1-7.. Tp is bypassed as well as the second Tp.. The third one says ok.. the fourth is bypassed.. Radio_V2 = Fail-UZ and Radio_Cust is ok...

Says Image unzipping fail

Update Fail

Press power to reboot...
[HTC Inspire 4G] djspira:
Hey bubby this is my first post! I also am getting a blank screen when I boot into cwm recovery mode. I followed all the instructions to a T with the exception of making my gold card through the usb cable as opposed to putting it in the sd slot (I have no adapter :() So could that be it? If you have any idea whats going on, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your efforts.
