Phew! I've been watching this thread since the beginning, but haven't been on the forum much this weekend...well after catching up on 50 pages or so i have to say, BRAVO BUBBY! I was waiting for this, but got impatient :D and followed the hack kit and managed to successfully make it through. Seeing this released makes me want to return to stock just so I can use your GUI. Also, I just downloaded your S-On tool (and will be following this closely so that once a version is released with all options (return to stock, remove bloat, etc) I'll be downloading it for safe keeping :)) - I saw script in another thread for obtaining s-on but really didn't want to ever have to use it - GUIs are SO nice!

And to your dad - my hat is off to you, kind sir. I have 3 kids of my own and through some of the bashing/flaming, I don't know if I would have been able to stay as cool as you. You are obviously raising a fantastic kid, and it's so nice to see parental involvement in a world in which it seems to be completely lacking. I have held off on downloading the GUI at this point (as I'm already rooted running custom ROMs), but will be following this thread closely to watch the progress.

Bubby - keep up the good work! You have a VERY bright future ahead of you. If I was doing half the things your are at your age, I'd probably be in a very different place right now. As a newer member to XDA I just want to say - Watching your work progress, watching how calm and collected you stayed through the entire progress, Thanks for your contribution!

For anyone having issues with CWM - have you tried opening ROM Manager, going down to "All ClockworkMod Recoveries", and reverting back to 2.5.1.3? I know that in the video tut that I followed r34p3r made sure to indicate this was a necessary step, as the newer versions are for Android 2.3 and above.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
Thank You

I am posting this as a notice that when Bubby say's he will do something he does, last night he worked with me on Gtalk for three hours to get my inspire rooted and set up and today when he get's home from school will help me debrand my phone. I think that if the people that are having trouble would give him the respect he deserves instead of bashing on him he would do the same for you!!!!

Thank You bubby for all of the help and everything is working great on my phone, no problem's at all with it!!! You really are a person of your word that does great work!!!:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] mike91t:
Thanks for all your hard work! Although I decided to use the Hack Kit to root my phone, have a few beers on me!

[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
:) This is a nice post
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
I don't think Bubby will be having a few beers, he's only 14. :D LOL :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Root beers ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] edwards814:
how much longer
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Shady:
Almost finished
[HTC Inspire 4G] imstill@g:
I wanted to beta,oooowwwwww. I am getting excited
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Also sent invite on gtalk
[HTC Inspire 4G] edwards814:
will it be live tonight...i need root bad
[HTC Inspire 4G] JC_Miller:
Patience everyone it's a virtue ;) we dont want to rush the devs. we want a working root not something just mashed together to get out to an anxious crowd !
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
Devs like buby inspires me. Oh XDA....may you forever be funded.

Waiting patiently :). I'm itching to see first root so I can send you my $100 pledge. Thanks again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] King Shady:
This app probably hates me. I've refreshed this thread like 74929484728 times the past 30 minutes

[HTC Inspire 4G] blainetaylor:
Lol refresh doesn't like me n e more
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
So I looked at the front page, do we have to create a gold card to be able to do the one click root?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Yes you will. That's the most difficult part however.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
Booo. I thought it would streamline it. I don't feel like owning my SDCard and be a fail.....as usual lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] r_3:
Woot. I have mine ready
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
LMAO! This made me laugh. It really isn't that bad :) Jetblk said be was working on a gc method.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I will include a one click gold card in a future update, I just really have to get this out before school hits tomorrow.

Nobody would happen to have some good hosting would they? The whole package is totaling around 600mb, and that's with a compression ratio of 98% with 7zip. :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Cmon guys someone host this damn thing :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] darkbluexplorer:
Txting a friend that may have some webspace.. hang on :)

Got the webspace need the file and then i can place a link.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigdessert:
I can put it up for now on a spare virtual server I have in the cloud.

where do I get it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Could one of you get me an FTP login where I can drag and drop it, instead of uploading you downloading and re-uploading.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
I just downloaded Rom Manager and Titanium backup and had no superuser problem's at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] craigkal:
I had this problem. Clear the cache data.

Settings > Manage Applications > All > Superuser Permissions. Click 'Clear Data' and 'Clear Cache'.

You will have to re-allow permissions for any app requiring root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
Getting more rom back

Before I did the root I had less than 1GB of user rom to use and now after and doing a Titanium backup I am at 1.01GB, not alot more but getting there, I also downloaded App 2 SD pro and that helped alot. I am sure that when I debrand I will have much more user rom!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jwlyons:
Finally got everything to work!

All it took was going back to school and using my own computer. Guess my brother's just didn't agree with your tool. :p

Amazing work!

Now how do I go about installing a custom ROM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
You could download rom manager from the market, that will help you out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Download whatever ROM/kernel you want to use

Boot to Recovery (power off then hold Vol- and Power until it starts in hboot, then select recovery)

BACKUP!

Wipe data partition and dalvik cache (dalvik cache is in Advanced)

Choose flash from SD

Select Choose zip from SD

Select the zip you dowloaded and flash it

Edit: yea - you'll need ROM manager with CWM 2.5.1.3 installed if you don't already have it
[HTC Inspire 4G] hitekredneck:
That was the first thing I did, that did not work either. This has got me stumped. I would uninstall su and try re-installing, but app manager will not let me uninstall since it was pushed in via script in the rooting process. If I had an APK for an older version I "might" be able to downgrade it. But that is doubtful also.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ptulluri:
getting fc when i try to open super user app. Even update from the market failed to install. can someone tell me how i can fix this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ptulluri:
you get the super user apk from this link

[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
When I downloaded Rom Manager and ran it, it said I needed to update the clockwork to latest, so I did and am now running V.3.0.0.6 with no problem's at all when booted into recovery.

I do not know if it makes a difference but I am running the paid version of Rom Manager, I know it gives a few more things over the free!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] craigkal:
When I try to reboot into recovery I get the white HTC logo screen and then it slowly fades to black. I can't see any menu or anything.

I installed Rom Manager and flashed ClockworkMod. I've tried 3.0.0.6, 3.0.0.5, and 2.5.1.3, same result for all versions.

I'm pretty sure it's working I just can't see what is is doing. If I select 'Backup Current ROM' from ROM Manager it reboots and creates the correct backup folder inside clockworkmod\backup on the sd card.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mholmes05:
So far so good - got into exploit, working on s-off - after I run the ./gfree -f command, it runs, but ends with this:

"Patching and backing up Partition 7...

Error opening copy file."

Help?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jwlyons:
So I'm a bit confused on two things.

Titanium Backup-this backsup your apps and app data, but can it back up contacts/texts/etc?

And installing ROMs. I have Clockwork installed, and there's an option to "install ROM from SD Card". Is this what I want to do?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Loiselle:
How is the bloat removal in the optional area coming along? Is it ready to download yet?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rawb123456:
Any luck with this California? I was thinking the same thing. Let me know how it goes. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RBDH:
Sorry, fell asleep earlier. You are right, as long as your doing it while you are flashed with the downgraded rom. Cmw plays good then. I was able to get it working using cmw 3.x.x.x.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cooleric56:
Superuser Problems

my superuser is not giving me access to root file system and wont allow me to update the su binary, i have a very old version of the su that looks the ninja and its called superuser permissions, anybody else having this problem? And bubby if you can fix this that would b great or tell me how to update it
[HTC Inspire 4G] ptulluri:
i am also having the same problem. When i try to update via market it is saying some about package not signed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
Same thing here. I did the sync command anyway and it all looks good. It tells me to go back to the other command window to finish but that window closed somehow. Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] pside15:
Well, I just started the whole exploit part over again and everything worked out great.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cooleric56:
well i followed this tutorial like 30 or 40 pages back to get rid superuser permissions and put actual superuser on, it worked but, i have been trying to change the bootloader it wont work, so idk i got to wait to talk to bubby
[HTC Inspire 4G] mholmes05:
Finally.

It took a few times, but it works. Got the stock Rom back up, root, and s-off. It gets tricky because as the phone restarts, windows continues to try to connect to the phone, so as you restart, you need to remember to close the connection between the phone and computer.

I'm happy. Rooted and s-Off with stock rom. I'm going to leave it like this for now and wait for the warranty-on and hpusa and all that other fun stuff :)

THanks bubs - you rocked it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CentralMoNexusOne:
Could someone explain to me what s-off is? After rooting the phone, will you still be able to warranty the phone?

I'm coming from a nexus one(still have it, this is for my brothers phone), is the process really simple and safe? The nexus one root process was very simple, one click I think.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cooleric56:
does anyone know how to change the boot animation for the htc inspire 4g, i tried absolute root tool from the market but it keeps force closing :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
When bubby get's on this afternoon, he was going to help me to debrand my phone so that I can get rid of all that AT&T garbage,so if that works out then I am sure he will offer it to all that want it, I want all of that bootup stuff gone from my phone, when done all that will be left is the AT&T on the back of the phone and that may go also now that I found a dealer on Amazon that sell's OEM Desire HD replacement backs!!!!:)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Go ahead and log in to your gmail. I will be waiting for you. Let's get you unbranded. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jfellon:
i used buddy's root program back when autorun didn't work n i got root n s-off. without a problem. from what i have been reading threw all the forums that hasn't been addressed yet is this. is your phone factory wiped before doing this? have u installed ROM manager before doing using the program to root n s-off? have you confirmed the sd card reads (gold Card)?

is your battery fully charged? did you make sure once the 1st ROM is loaded to enable debug along with stay awake clicked?

did you make sure when in the terminal to type everything correctly and to reopen the terminal (i know this one got me at 1st)

Most important Factory wipe the phone back to no programs other then at&t bloatware dont create any accounts. enable usb debugging. perform the flash n follow directions to the T.and Make sure your battery is fully charged and the sd card Reads (Gold Card)

i have flashed 2 of them with the one without autorun and both are working great and i am kind of a noob at this stuff. what i helped a friend of mine with his phone today at work do this and he had done the flash but didnt factory wipe the phone n it was causing alot of problems during the flash with the hboot locking up to black. it did it once i pulled the battery n let the phone boot normally then restarted again n it fully went threw.

i am not using the stock rooted rom i used that rom to install clockwork to flash another rom and mind you i have flashed it several times to get the sound fixed which is the same as stock but read all the other forums like i did to make your mind up which way you want to go. i have one last thing to say please take your time n always double check the steps as u do this adventure n trust me youll like the end result.
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
I really want to try this, but I think I will wait until the next update Buddy is doing. Hopefully it fixes the CWM errors and he enables sideloading and removal of the bloatware.

Thanks again Buddy and all the testers for your long hour of hard work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
No worries, thanks for getting back to me! I was actually wondering though if I could drop a new Rom and flash it with the Rom that came with Bubby's still in my inspire, or wouldn't that work? Thanks again! Anybody else, feel free to answer this too :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] twopumpchump:
Keep this thread ON TOPIC, this is the last warning TO ALL.
[HTC Inspire 4G] RMXO:
Back on topic. So bubby, whats in store for the next revision? Call me slightly lazy. I admit I am but can anyone point me to the directions on using the app. I followed the what was told on the screen but I still wasn't able to root. I had to root manually with command lines.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cooleric56:
bubby when is your new revision going to be realased??? :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
The new version will come tonight more than likely, I am recoding the whole program in C# to make use of nelify's gold card creator, then I am going to fix some of the common issues, redesign the UI, and upload. :o
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
Out of curiosity, will the new version remove the bloatware?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chowlz:
OKay, I've done this for like the 5th time already; I keep getting

failed to copy 'tools/dngrd/PD98IMG.zip' to /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip': Read-only file system

I'm starting to assume it's my computer... I want to try this on another computer but I was wondering...

1.) I think it may be the tool you suggested to make the goldcard (step one doesn't work and crashes; I believe it's a problem with my .net framework). Are there any signs from using the simplegoldcard maker that would tell me the process was successful other than the program saying that it was successful?

2.) I'm at school right now and was wondering if I needed the HTC Sync driver's or the .net framework in order for the one-click app to work? If I need the HTC Sync driver's, but not the .net framework, then I'll try again on my computer.

3.) It could just be my 8gb sansa card... what's the minimum required size for it to be in order to make a goldcard?
[HTC Inspire 4G] driftkidd2323:

Check the third post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] citlec53:
Pretty sure he is just setting up a place to put it. Probably should have an under construction banner across it.

so, should i download the one in Post #3 or is there an updated one on the way?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
More than likely

Yea I used mmc2 I have done it like four times cant seem to get it to take, any ideas

Bubby is the man!

Thanks for your help Bubby!!! Fat donation coming your way bro!

LOL i just realized what post number i got..epic!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Timelord83:
not to add to the mess that this thread has become.. but is there some way you can make it so you can choose to delete the backups or not.. as i unrooted mine after and re-enabled the S- but it required the backup file intact..
[HTC Inspire 4G] jplayngolfdrake:
I get all the way to the point where it says model id incorrect, update fail, press power to reboot.

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thank You
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
You need to remake your gold card and try again. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jplayngolfdrake:
ok I will Give it another go remaking gold card. Thank You Lets hope it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
If it does not work the second time, message me on gtalk, , and I will help you. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] RMXO:
If you are having issue's with your GC, it could be the microSD. I bought 2x Kingston 2GB microSD & couldn't get the GC to work for the life of me. When I used the one (SanDisk 8GB) that came with the phone. It worked the first time. Some food for thought to the people who are having GC issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlusco:
question on the clockwork/recovery fix what clockwork recovery for the Desire HD do i need can someone direct me to it please
[HTC Inspire 4G] Loiselle:
Bubby... is the bloat remover ready to go yet? What about the "restore to bone stock" for warranty or whatever purpose? When, do you think, they will be ready to bake into the GUI?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bookofjoshua:
First off... Thank you for all your hard work!! (this applies to the OP and all who are assisting)

I ran into a problem when running terminal on my inspire and found a fix on my own... I am not saying I'm the first to do this, but I searched for a while and I couldn't find anyone that had the same problem

After entering the first command and waiting for "forked #### childs". I saw that message and pressed enter in the Windows terminal, it says to relaunch terminal and then it will FC, relaunch again.... well, mine didn't ever close and subsiquent commands enter in the android terminal failed. I resolved this by going Settings->Applications->manage applications->select "terminal emulator" and then force stop.

I then relaunched terminal emulator and continued entering commands to a successful conclusion!

If someone has mentioned this before me, then thank you even though I didn't find your post, I wish I had found a post before figuring this out, it would have saved me from taking so many frustration breaks:)

I hope I helped someone and didn't just add to the clutter!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlusco:
I read the hack kit stuff never got it to work but still read it and in that step it tells you in the terminal on the phone go menu> reset term then start it agian thats when it FC and then start agian and enter the comands but i dont remember what bubbys said at that step thatw as 2 days ago
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Nope, not at all. This is very useful. Thanks. ;) This should clear up any confusion on the terminal part of the process.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bookofjoshua:
I actually tried that the first time, I got the terminal to close, opened it.... it FC and I opened it again thinking I was good to go, but it still wouldn't accept the command ./gfree -f
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlusco:
My first 3 times i couldnt get ther term to open after the FC lol i was going nuts user error lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] RMXO:
I use ROM Manager to manage & delete my backups.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Bubby, this is going to sound like a weird question, but can you post the Superuser Permissions APK you're using for this? I tried every possible way (APK from market, zip file through CWM, clearing cache, uninstalling through terminal) of updating to the new version by ChainsDD from here and fear I've removed root from my device, as the new version force closes every time it's opened. -.-

If you can post the version you're using so I can reinstall it (through CWM zip, preferrably), I'd GREATLY appreciate it!!

EDIT: Just restored the NANDroid backup I made, which fixed it (thankfully). THIS IS THE REASON TO MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST THING AFTER ROOTING! But, it would still be a nice post, as I couldn't seem to find it lol. Plus, I lost recent data through the restore... but that's all trivial. ;) Just glad to be rooted again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chowlz:
Okay, I somehow got my phone to go through the update in Hboot; if it helps anyone who keeps getting "failed to copy 'tools/dngrd/PD98IMG.zip' to /sdcard/PD98IMG.zip': Read-only file system", I remember clicking bloatware to remove it, closing the command prompt instead of pressing enter, clicking on exploit, and then closing the command prompt instead of pressing enter.

Anyway, now I rebooted my device. The last few lines in the command prompt are:

Looking for device...
The script will not continue if your phone is not connected.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

But nothing is happening :[ I was plugged into my computer the whole time. After rebooting, it showed the setup (which I completed seeing how nothing was happening) Do I need to start all over? What else should I be seeing?

Please help! I really want to root my phone now that I'm obsessed with it; I need to get over it asap so I can study for my Physics test this thursday xD

EDIT: Soooo I'm browsing through my apps and I noticed that all the AT&T apps are gone and some new ones like AmazonMP3 is there. Also, there's no sound (checked through the ringtones. Am I screwed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You've made it 1/3 of the way through. You can restart the rooting process and it won't hurt anything. When you get to the exploit, make sure you run it exactly, using the terminal commands and such, pressing enter when needed, etc. You will be fine.

When you complete the exploit, MAKE SURE YOU GO BACK TO THE OTHER TERMINAL WINDOW THAT WAS OPEN WITH THE DOWNGRADE. That is the window that you'll use to upgrade your phone back to rooted stock and out of the downgraded ROM.

With no sound and the other apps, that means that your ROM is downgraded to the rootable DHD version. What you need to do now is run it again, making sure that after every phone reboot, you make sure your USB Debugging is on and FASTBOOT is off. You should be just fine. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Chowlz:

Pushing cooked ATT stock rom for restore, this may take a while.
failed to copy 'PD98IMG.zip' to '/sdcard/PD98IMG.zip': Permission denied
You should now have S-OFF, but let's check and make sure.
Press any key to continue . . .

So I ended up unplugging my usb cable then turning on usb debugging and turning off fastboot. Should I still start the exploit or should I continue with this? I'm a bit nervous since I'm getting "failed to copy 'PD98IMG.zip' to '/sdcard/PD98IMG.zip': Permission denied" again...

EDIT: So I ended up pressing enter and it said S-on at the top.... :[ So I closed the window.

Should I click the "Downgrade, S-Off...." or continue with exploit? Sorry, I'm getting more nervous and I don't want to screw up my phone >_<'
