Well considering the lack of true multi tasking on an iphone it makes sense that it would be smoother as it hardly has to use any of it's ram or processing cpu...

Anyhow, this thread is posted here about every two weeks, if you want an iphone go get one. I'd pick my x10 over one any day
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightbeyou:
amen to this...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrljlamon:
i agree with the two above. had an iphone before this.

only thing i see better about it would be a majority of the apps and games.

the phone itself is much better than an iphone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdiddy1987:
+1 for the 'il take my x10 over any iphone any day'

and also +1 for ' it didnt come out of the box as good as it can be'

but its got potential with a bit of research and some modifications... iit can do waayy more than an iphone can

and with the right mods its as smooth as it needs to be imo

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Wow - When did we all get so good at going completely off topic!..

I had lots of problems with the stock rom being jittery and generally slow.. I didn't want to move to a custom ROM cos none of them are complete.. so I've rooted, installed JIT, and removed some of the preinstalled apps that I don't want (Timescape, and moxier mainly.) now it's fast and smooth..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pngface:
What if I want to keep Timescape and Moxier? (They are one of the main reasons I'm not switching to a custom rom, other than battery life)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrtim123:
moxier - not a problem, you can purchase it from the market if you need it - there are other email clients anyway but if you like this particular one...

timescape - there are other social media aggregators also, tweetdeck was one that i played with once.

personally i would switch to a custom 2.1 rom and get some alternate apps running. you wont look back :) I say custom 2.1 rom so you get a complete rom and not a beta. i am running a 2.2 cyanogen rom and its 98% functional but i can understand why others dont like to run beta roms!

how this all relates to the OP? custom roms run so much smoother due to the lack of bloatware and not using the SE launcher. it is a resource pig and when it combines with time/mediascape running in the background at all times - the x10 drags to a halt. i switched to custom roms a while back and have not considered going back at all. closest thing i did was run KXHawkins high performance 2.1 rom for a while - it is based on the SE 2.1 rom with all the crap removed or modified.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pngface:
I tried running FreeX10 for a couple of weeks, but went back to SE. Though as you say, there is absolutely no lag with custom roms, I found stock android to be incredibly ugly (this is just personal taste) and also I do make full use of Timescape and the Phonebook. I like how everything is connected, just wish it didn't take me 14 swipes to get across 5 homescreens and 15 seconds to start the camera to take a picture

WTF is Liveview? LOL... I went to the Sony store the other day because I have a gift card and can't find anything to buy... I gotta say Sony makes some of the most useless cr@p in the electronics industry, how are they still in business?

A "Dash" priced at $250 ... which literally sits on the night stand and accesses facebook, twitter, and is an alarm clock. Why would someone buy this when they can buy an entire netbook for $200 ?!?! For the Sony name?

I'm assuming Liveview must be equally worthless given the stagnant nature of this thread?

[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
So I'm curious if anyone can point me in the direction of a good guide for a first-time rooting experience.

I am BRAND NEW from the iPhone world. Over there I was very comfortable jailbreaking, with the process and terms, and ins and outs of the jailbreaking world.

Now I just got my inspire 4g and I'm lost in trying to learn the root\flash\rom process. I feel like such an idiot because I always get pissed when people ask for step by step newbie process in the iOS jailbreak forums, now I'm doing it, lol

My goal is to root is for the sole purpose of enabling the HSUPA feature. I'm unlocked already (bought an unlock code), so that's really the primary reason for unlocking for me.

An additional benefit would be able to remove the AT&T bloatware, which is annoying me. Does anyone actually use the ATT branded barcode scanner? LOL.

Anyhow, if anyone is willing to help, I would appreciate it greatly.

Thanks!

I followed this video.. this is my first Android phone and first time rooting a phone... the video was perfect and rooted and installed a custom ROM with no problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I seriously can't be this stupid. LOL. I have watched this 20x and I figure I can follow it step by step and have success, but the question I have is this:

- Is there a way to not have to do step 1 then step 2 to correct the audio? In other words has anyone compiled a video or written step by step on a process that does it without having to go back and fix the audio?

- If I do this method, when I re-login to google, will it re-download all the apps I had previously downloaded? And will it re-add the email accounts, or do I have to set it all up as new?

- I see many referring to the "stock ATT" ... so that'll bring back the ATT stuff, but remove the limitation and allow HSUPA? And does it re-add bloatware but I can then delete it? Do all the stock themes\apps come loaded still?

Thanks, I really wish there was a "here's exactly what to do, step by step, keystroke by keystroke" kinda to-do style list... I know many prefer seeing on youtube, but I'm more of a process\step-list type, and it's confusing because the forum has about 10 sets of instructions, some say they have audio problems, others have an amendment to fix the audio after, some say it's possible not to have the issue to begin with, just trying to make sense of it all as I'm totally new to Android.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SNadler:
I an having nothing but trouble also!

Finally I can make it to the bootloader screen but any option I choose locks thephone with the "Scary Emblem" and I have to remove the Battery to restart it.

Please let me know if you find instructions like that. I am the same way. I literally have had my Inspire from ATT for 2 days after having six BlackBerry's and all I get are rude remarks, links to videos that assume I've done this before and absolutely no questions answered. I was referred to use the Unrevoked3 which is supposed to be "painless" and could work with the Inspire since it's similar to Desire, but all I got was a link to the download and if I try to ask questions, I'm not allowed because I'm a noob or I get the "Google it" response...which...duh..that's how I found this place. Every Android forum reminds me of my Business Calculus professor. When asked if he could walk us through a six page homework problem, he threw a desk at the wall and called us names. LOL I guess only elite are allowed info. I can't even get a response as far as whether or not Unrevoked3 will actually work on the Inspire! Sigh. *smh*
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
I have found all the information I have needed to date by reading first. It's not an attitude unique to this forum... it happens elsewhere on the internet.

With processes like this, I would think one would want to be armed with as much knowledge prior to starting, as possible.

People get stuck on unique problems, and ask for help, and nearly without exception, if some degree of effort has been made by the person asking, then people are pretty willing to assist.

If people come in an ask questions that would have been easily answered had they taken the extra five minutes to check if it had been addressed already, it shows... its easy to tell if someone has made even the slightest effort to educate themselves first, or if they're just expecting free technical support.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gflare:
Can't we all just get along?

For any newbies wanting to get started and have step-by-step instructions, you should visit the Hack Kit thread, download the zip file, and read that readme!

Link to hack kit thread:

To be honest, I think if the hack kit thread was made into a sticky it might get more attention from the new inspire owners.

EDIT: Just to be clear. The hack kit contains a full step-by-step procedure. The only change to this I recommend is using the gold card maker in the following thread (unless it's now included with the kit) :

I think there is an important difference between a newbie who wants the answers spoonfed to them, and a newbie who is genuinely trying but just doesn't get it. Some people (myself included) need a little hand holding through the process. It's sort of like pulling someone out of a third world country who's never seen a car, and expecting them to learn to drive by reading a drivers ed manual.

I've seen a few please root my phone for me threads. These people make me crazy. I don't know what else to say. We have bubbys super easy method and the hack kit which has a easy to follow step by step and a video. I've only had one phone that was 1 click root capable, the Captivate. The others were work, so I learned. I was a noob once, we all were. But I educated myself. There are folks which don't want to even try to do that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] corbin dallas:
I have to say, I'm with NOOB here.

As far as "bubby's" super easy one click, ya, maybe IF I had time to read through 238 pages of geekchat banter and decode the "FAQ" that was written in a haphazard method.

Nothing personal, but maybe YOU guys know how to do this but many of us do not.

I've spent 3 days going over instructions, videos and other how-to's only to find myself frustrated at the process and procedures.

I'm now at the point where I can get to my boot loader but no matter what mod.zip file I have on the root of the card I get a black screen.

2 things RIGHT off the top of my head that were not discussed (or at least I didn't find them in).

1- The original CID I sent to have a gold card made from was bunk. Only during my (IDK) 10th attempt at running bubby's one click root did I notice the CID had changed and sent that one in for a gold card did it work.

2- NO where in any instructions or FAQ did it mention to hold the "UP" button when rebooting to access the recovery mode. Which BTW, still doesn't work properly.

Maybe I got a bunk phone. Who knows. But I do know this. It took my less time to root my nexus one and even less time to quickpwn my iFails.

You would think with all the knowledge that exists in this forum, someone would sit down and make a step by step guide on how to root your HTC Inspire from start to finish INCLUDING potential pitfalls and errors.

Instead, new users such as myself and NOOB are left to decypher and piece together a way to root the phone.

No one has asked you to root their phone. All the NOOBS like myself are asking is for you to pool your collective intelligence and come up with a GUIDE even an IDIOT like myself can follow.

... and make it a sticky with NO additional chatter on the thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nhshah7:
I mean no hatred, but rooting this phone isn't an easy process. I've been hacking windows phones for years but this was my first android root and it took me over 4 horus start to finish - and i had to troubleshoot a lot of problems on my own since it was 6 am with no one on xda. the problem with creating a complete hacker's guide is that there are SO MANy unique issues that people have, that there's no way to account for all of them if you're able to do it on your own successfully - then in that case why would you go back and try to mess stuff up to create a page about waht to do if XXXXXX happens? I had some issues during my root process, but I posted somewhere asking for help, detailing exactly which steps i had taken prior to having trouble, what my issues were specifically (including code), as well as what i did to FIX my issues after I had figured it out. People here don't like being asked vague and general questions about why xxxxxxx isn't working, which is why usually tehy like for people to be as specific as possible. I'm not angry with your or any other person that has issues rooting, but i'm simply trying to explain why other people get pissy and are brief when a little morehelp would do. a lot of people just need to read a bit more before they post, which is what pisses everyone off, but hey, we all need to start somewhere right?

as for your specific issues, did you use the CID1 or the CID2? The guides (video and hack kit) both call for you to use the CID2 so if you didn't use that right off the bat, that's waht your issue was. As for your black screen, what step are you talking about? Are you able to downgrade your rom? or is taht where you're having issues? and i didn't use any of bubby's one click stuff, but what's teh mod.zip file supposed to do? I followed the hack kit and video walk through both and adb sent the downgrade rom to my phone, it rebooted into recovery (ON ITS OWN - i didn't have to get it into recovery myself) and i had to scroll to tell it to load the rom and that was it. maybe your issue is that you're skipping steps? do you have a good connection to your phone between your comp/is teh whole downgrade rom being transferred to your phone? I know i had that issue where after 4 or 5 commands from the command prompt, it would lose connection with my phone and i would have to restart before i could send another command through adb...

lastly, to answer your question about the one click rooting, i think we all wish tihs phone had that, but it doesn't and it sucks. as i'm sure you've read, the only way to do this is through a radio exploit in a downgraded rom thanks to att being a bi***a** about sideloading and whatnot. it is waht it is.

anyways, i hope i answered your questions adn maybe even helped you out with the rooting. if you need more help, feel free to start another thread and PM me the link to it. hopefully i'll check my PM's and be able to help you with it. jsut remember, be as descriptive as possible and no one will flame you

You read my mind...

Honestly people, the development thread has practically every answer to any question that could come to mind throughout the process, but you have to be willing to put in the effort to read pages upon pages of advice.

A few days of reading and learning will reward you with a perfectly rooted device, but you can't be lazy about it.

If after sifting through the development thread (and using a handy little tool called google...) you still can't make any sense of this, maybe you should ask yourself if you should really be doing this in the first place?

These developers work hard to put out what we have available today and they really jumped on this particular phone rapidly, and the methods available today work. I used bubby323's "HTC Inspire 4G Simple Root and S-Off" and from start to finish I rooted two Inspires and loaded them with custom ROMs in under an hour.

At least meet them halfway in the effort department people.

/end rant
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Keep in mind also that those of us who rooted had to read through pages and pages and pages if we got stuck, it's rather annoying to read "I didn't want to have to go through that huge thread to find my answer" What makes you so special? :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] habanosrus:
Where exactly are you at in the process? Do you have S-OFF and can you confirm you are rooted? If so, you have already done the hard part. Am I reading correct that when you try to get into recovery mode (via rom manager or by Vol-Down + PWR) that the phone reboots and then fades to black?

this would require you to do eng s-off, i had the same issue with inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
I researched for a. Week...reading everything I could find....which included 238 pages and an faq that...was written haphazardly (though I found useful) prepared myself for any eventuality.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
I understand your confusion. Though XDA is a great reasource and all the answers are here, trying to understand all the bits and pieces is sometimes like some bizarre treasure hunt. Most of these guys are programmers, not communicators (read: salesmen or teachers) so while gifted at hacking, they're not quite so well endowed in the 'instructables' piece of it.

That said, I also agree with Gunnyman that you need to do your own homework. Understanding how you got your phone to be in an S-off / unlocked state will be important if you ever need to undo the process.

Here's a hint that might help.

It's a 3-step process.

1) Create a gold card. You'll need a 2G micro SD card. Check the Inspire forum here for the 1-click GUI gold card program. Worked like a charm for me.

2) Use Bubby's one-click GUI script.

3) Install a ROM. If you want a Sense ROM that's close to stock but without the AT&T bloatware, I'd strongly recommend RCMix 5.9x which is now Clockwork enabled for patches over-the-air.

As to the audio fix, this one patch can be easily applied via CWM. It's a no-brainer and worked every time for me:

I had a Droid Eris way back over a year ago that was super one click root easy, a blackberry that just didn't need root, and an iPhone I updated/dwngraded/rejailbroke numerous times with no worries. My Inspire comes hopefully by Saturday and I'll be reading these forums constantly until then to figure out exactly what I need to do. Sounds a bit more complicated than any of those other phones, but you can always go to the IRC channel and hang out there until someone can help you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] emelnick1:
Newbie still needs help to root inspire 4g

OK, I get it. I have literally scoured the forum in hopes of trying to understand how to accomplish this daunting task. I have been chastised for not reading the forum, and not doing my research. The problem is that when you come across terms such as S-Off, Radio-Off, and the like, and one does not really understand the whole platform, it becomes a bit frustrating when all you are after is a step by step guide.

So I continue through the forum, and you get to a post which really looks promising. Then you click the inidcated URL and the first thing you see is something like: EDIT This does not work, it has been replace by some HACK process. So you go to that link and once again you feel like you are in LA LA land. I admit it, I don't a darned thing about the Android platform, but, I am willing to learn. So when someone asks for your help and what they get back is...read the forum...it becomes increasingly apparent that a lot of people are here for the glory. I thought the purpose of a forum was to help people out, evidently that is a miconception of my part, and to add, a lot of people's perceptions. Yeah, what is a cooked ROM, what is a Clockwork something or other....it goes on and then the poor newbie gets flooded with all of this information and the brain just literally explodes.

Well, I guess that's all I have to say. Thanks to anyone who has replied in a non-condescending attitude and with real intentions to actually help someone out.
