Not exactly. You will get S-Off but you also root your phone. The other program is not attempting the full root process. Basically, md5 is a way to identify and verify file integrity. You can google for more in depth information.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
That's the issue at hand. For myself and many others on here, we can't get hsupa no matter how much we hack away at build.prop. it seems to happen after flashing the stock radio back in after the downgrade.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drearg:
I've tried using my original card and tried making it a gold card in the phone and with a card reader..

I read the FAQ twice.

I watched the youtube video all the way thru . And read thru several hundred posts before i even tried to do it.

i have deleted my antivirus program off and tried re-downloading program. if its with my gold card, I'll keep trying it.

I have windows xp and it just gives me default allocation size and doesn't allow me to choose 32kb.

Could that be the whole problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] drearg:
I have used stock card a couple of times. Could just be image file and need to request new one for gold card. Will have to try again this afternoon.

Thanks for the info.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Are you still having problems after flashing a different rom? If you are not using a different rom you may want to reflash the stock radio again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drearg:
it won't take the pd98img.zip

Haven't had a chance to remake my gold card this morning and try it again yet?
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
My hsupa is broken also :( hopefully an easy fix comes out
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I tried reflashing cm7 multiple times and still no HSUPA. i did not try any other ROMs. The only way to fix it is to flash the downgraded radio and then flash a new radio - but skipping the stock one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] takato23:
and this program has all the necesary? the old and the new radio?

Or what i have to do when i finish with this process? download any radio and any rom I want and put it on the phone? it'll keep unlocked?
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyb81:
can someone elaborate on the process of flashing radios by themselves?

thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
there is an entire thread dedicated to this, here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
In this forum there is a thread dedicated to flashing radios without having to use the engineering Eng S-Off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
You end up with a stock rooted rom with this program.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Was data wiped before flashing a new rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] takato23:
so... after doing that process can i install whatever i want and it'll keep unlocked..?

and what's the difference between ENG S-RADIO Off and S-RADIO Off
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Yes. You can flash another rom or try all of them if you wish. Eng S-Off is the engineering test boot. You probably do not want to try that now. The process is risky and if something were to go wrong you could permanently brick your phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] altereddezignz:
Im also curious what roms everyone will be using if not using the stock rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] TDQuiksilver:
CyanogenMod of course.

Hey... I feel really stupid for asking but is there a download link for the alpha version Bubby was talking about on the first page:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:

i just want to unlock the phone.. and if i can do it with this program, it will be awesome :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] z34370z:
Which version is the downgraded radio so I can flash that and back to the new radio to see if that fixes hsupa.
[HTC Inspire 4G] elmanortega:
unlocking how??
[HTC Inspire 4G] takato23:
unlocking for all carriers
[HTC Inspire 4G] elmanortega:
you need unlocking code is better
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyb81:
how long should i wait on "pushing cooked (rooted) att stock for restore"?
[HTC Inspire 4G] takato23:
so.. S-Radio Off isn't for unlocking the phone? :s, what does it mean?

Speak spanish? Pm me
[HTC Inspire 4G] tonyb81:
nm, it was transferring at a whopping 129kbs which is why it took so long
[HTC Inspire 4G] Scott_S:
Be patient. It may seem like its not doing anything (you might not even see the hard drive led indicator on your computer do much). It's not going to be instantaneous.

I may be wrong on this, but if you got to the pushing stock rooted ROM part, then chances are you'll make it all the way through, if you let it do it's thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
For everyone talking about HSUPA speeds, I've explained this over and over. The most likely culprit is actually AT&T in your area. Their network is still not able to fully support HSUPA, whether it is enabled or not. The speeds you are getting from other radios are still most likely 3G speeds. Our default radio is (still) the only AT&T 4G radio available, unless we somehow steal the one from the Atrix, and I doubt that would work. AT&T is not done overhauling their network to officially release 4G speed yet. Some areas have it, most do not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Yes it was.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
That's what I'm trying to figure out. I suggest contacting Bubby or the makers of the hack kit to see what the downgraded radio version is. Once they give you the number, download from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace

Once the downgraded radio is flashed, verify that HSUPA works. From there, download either 26.06.04.14 or 26.08.03.07 from that page, and flash either one, and HSUPA will be maintained.

This is true in some cases but not in all. After doing Buby's root method, I couldnt upload above 170 or so. I tried every radio, every build.prop setting - nothing. I then ran the hack kit, let it downgrade the radio, and then I stopped it from loading the stock ATT radio back on. At this point I was getting 1700 up - so over 10 times as fast. I then flashed one of the radios I mentioned above, and still maintained those speeds. The only thing I did to keep HSUPA was to NOT flash the stock radio back on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] drearg:
Thanks for the help guys. Got simple root to work.

I got thru with all my brain f@rts and started over from step 1 with had to go into computer mgmt to format card with 32 kb alloc. space on it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] HAYDENB:
I am having trouble rooting my Inspire. I cant get past the stage where you get into the fastboot screen. Then when you click the power button it searches for the PND98.zip file it says no image found. I turned off the anti virus, firewall uninstalled HTC sync and just left the drivers. Any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
How long are you waiting, because it takes it a few minutes to find the image file. It'll say "unable to find" and "wrong image" or some such, but then finally give you the option to load image.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pradeepd:
Success

I'm a newbie and had my first rooting done with this tool. Thanks much for the tool. All went so well, no issues. It might be a stupid question, but is HSUPA enabled when I root the Inspire with this tool? or do I need anything special to enable HSUPA?

Thanks,

Pradeep
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
has anyone found this yet or does anyone have bubby's contact info? hopefully he can fix his simple root program to automatically flash proper hsupa enabled radios in sequence to help avoid forum noob clutter like my own very posts

also important question: i have done this root kit no problems, flashed CM7.0.0 final, and now apparently all i have to do is follow the steps here: -- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1002226 -- in order to flash the downgraded radio, then flash the new radio (skipping the stock version)??

this sounds like they have to be done in sequence or else there would be problems.. otherwise why couldnt i just flash the new radio right now?

i hope someone can help answer some of that, thanks!

[HTC Inspire 4G] pluesan:
I'm rooted with eng s-off and everything, all the goodies installed. Now i have an issue where sd card keeps unexpectedly unmounted and wifi keeps disconnecting (forcing me to restart phone). I'm wondering whether this is a phone issue or a rooted/cooked rom issue. I already have a replacement coming in two days and i am deciding whether to leave that one clean or to root once again. I am starting to feel that rooting does not give me any more freedom as i am not a true 'techy'. The only thing i get out of it is access to amazon appstore which att does not allow yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Sadly anything above 300 is hsupa for AT&T. I average 1500-1800, but I've seen much higher.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
cant believe no one has located the downgraded radio version yet

looks like im going to have to RUU back to stock and re-root then stop the stock radio from being flashed on when i get home from work.. i dont trust these work pc's on vista.. i can OC my inspire processor to be faster than this thing lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
I am extracting the radio.img from the PD98IMG.zip file in the \ace\tools\dngrd\ folder from the hack kit. How can I easily determine the version from the radio.img? Can I run some sort of adb command or some Android SDK tool from my PC against it to figure out what version it is?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gordec:
Fresh Inspire noobie here coming from Cappy. I have done the Simple One Click successfully and flashed the Revolution ROM. Now to flash a new ROM (I want to try a ROM based off stock Inspire instead of Desire), I know you have to do a full wipe. Just few questions.

1. What's the best and safest way of doing a full wipe if I used the One Click to Root/S-Off, etc?

2. Once I'm done, do I just boot into recovery and install the Rom.zip?

3. How about flashing a different radio? I hear things about downgrade ratio. I'm not quite sure what I need to do say I need to flash back to stock radio for a stock based ROM.

4. Anything I need to be careful about when flashing another ROM?

Thx
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
1. Either directly in clockworkmod before flashing the rom, or check the box in Rom manager after choosing the rom, if you use it.

2. Answered in number 1, I believe. Either method works.

3. Depends on the Rom. Mine (cleardroid) is stock inspire base, uses stock radio, and has good speeds. Some reported the same 1.5 mb upload listed here, leading me to question the radio as the culprit as mentioned earlier.

4. Just make sure your battery is above 50% charge before starting. The higher, the better.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
OK, I opened it up in a hex editor and found the version - 26.03.02.26

You can download the radio in PD98IMG.zip form from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace

So now we just need someone whose HSUPA is not working to downgrade to this radio and see if HSUPA comes back. If it does, then you can flash to 26.06.04.14 or 26.08.03.07 from the same link above.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buradd:
yes i have now confirmed it is 26.03.02.26, there is a youtube video of someone showing bubby's simple root if it wasnt simple enough and he shows the phone getting s-off after downgrading and it was 26.03.02.26
[HTC Inspire 4G] takato23:
okay, i'm more confused... it will be nice if someone says what this do in HUMAN words :p.

Like..

1) this UNLOCKS the phone for ALL THE CARRIERS? like put my chip of XXXXX and works? because I don't understand what is "S-eng radio off" or "radio s off" or whatever is called.

2) If it gets unlocked by this... when i install a rom, any from the forum.. on .zip format, it keeps unlocked?

3) What are S Radio off and Eng Radio off? and what are the benefits

thanks :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
1. Yes. All GSM carriers that the phone's radio bands will support.

2. Yes. Make sure to flash from the inspire forum only though.

3. Answered in the FAQ. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] MN_Evolution:
EvoX have you done this yet? I'm looking at doing it tonight after i get back from the gym... leaving right now. I'll update later tonight.

As of now i ran Simple Root, and i have HORRIBLE data rates in minneapolis now. I'm barely getting over 100-150kbps uploads. Downloads aren't much better. I wanna try this first to see if it fixes it as its a lot quicker. If not i'll do RUU to stock and run the Hacker Kit to step 4...

be back in a couple hours...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ohthehugemanatee:
You, sir, are the most helpful person on the Internet.

I didn't use Bubby's one click process to root my Inspire, but I am having this HSUPA problem. I did it the old fashioned way, with the ace hack kit. The zips are in an odd format, and macs seem to go into unzipping loops with them, so I gave up on that approach... but after reading through hackerize-ace.sh a bit, I discovered which P98IMG.zip was being flashed for the downgrade. Here's the md5 sum:

c3d244a9f056e48ee3851a14ff52204c

Unfortunately, that hash doesn't appear on our list of "Ace" friendly radio firmwares ( http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Support_Downloads#HTC_Ace ). I tried googling it, and this firmware seems to come from jkoljo's older rooting instructions for the DHD ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905003 ). His post and the links therein indicate that it's supposed to be the "stock" 1.32.405.6 firmware (which would match the procedure in the wiki), but that checksum doesn't match the list of Ace firmwares from the wiki. I'm downloading it tonight to try the checksum for myself, just out of curiosity.

Anyway, I validated the method by running an md5sum on the firmware that you end up flashing in the Ace hacking toolkit, and that came up

dea534848a9b71fc54878c0111ceed76

Which is 26.06.04.06, according to the wiki list.

So according to jkoljo's post we flash back to stock 1.3. According to the md5sum, we don't. In any case, you can get the "older" firmware from his post, linked above, or inside the ace hack kit at tools/dngrd/PD98IMG.zip .

Tonight I'm trying:

1) flash back to the older firmware included in the Ace hack kit.

2) flash forward to a newer, non-ATT rom. I'll probably go for broke with the 26.08.03.07 version.

3) ????

4) Profit!

hopefully I'll have HSUPA to help with steps 3 and 4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] EvoXOhio:
Some others have but it didn't help. My newest theory is to install the downgraded radio, install a new RIL, then wipe the cache and davlik-cache, then re-flash your ROM (in my case CM7) but choosing NOT to wipe data. Anyone want to try?

Well, for starters, I think you need to pull, then replace the battery, then try vol-down/power until hboot comes up.

Any solutions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Wipe your market data and Google maps data in settings/programs and see if that helps.

These actually sound like ROM issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I can talk you through it on Google talk if you wish. Add ClearD989 at gmail dotcom. We will get you rooted and running just fine. Don't worry.
[HTC Inspire 4G] MN_Evolution:
As ClearD said that sounds like a ROM issue... I know of a ROM that is having this issue so try this.

If you're using

Android Revolution

you'll need to go to their ROM page and download the Weather fix (its down a bit in the first post). I flashed Android Rev last night and the weather was boinked... Never got to flash the Weather fix though as i just ran the Stock RUU on my phone at work here to try and get tasty HSUPA working.

Also to make sure its just a ROM and not your GPS go to maps and open it. If GPS if OFF it'll ask you to turn it on. If its on you should see the little animated satellite flashing. Make sure it gets a lock on you. If that works ok then you'l know for sure its the ROM. Good Luck!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Addition: And if you have no gps, check the first page of the ClearDroid thread for a flashable PD98IMG.zip of a known good working version of the stock radio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gordec:
Guys, I'm still confused about the Easy S-Off with this tool. I went from stock to Revolution 3.3 and flashed the recommended radio without issues.

So I am reading the FAQ on the OP that the Radio S-Off won't let you flash radio and you need ENG S-Off but I was able to flash the recommended radio. At least under Settings -> Phone Info it shows the right radio.

Now I want to try CoreDroid. I assume all I need to do is go to recovery, flash fullwipe.zip-> flash ROM -> and Flash recommended radio (or do I lose the S-Off and need to do something else?

Thx, the whole S-Off thing is still confusing to me after going through the threads.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Some radios can be flashed without ENG S-off. There is a thread devoted to it and you shouldn't lose S-off if you flash a radio that way. That was actually a misconception early on that has been cleared up now. Speaking of which, I need to update the FAQ later...

Thanks to author!

I've been on xda for a long time as a Windows Mobile guy. The Inspire4G is my first Android and I know almost nothing about the Android os. last week, I had no idea what it meant to "root"! But this kit made it very easy to root my phone. As with every noob, I stumbled early and often. I made 3-4 bad gold cards before I figured out I needed MMC2 instead of MMC0, and then Rage didn't get copied because of my a/v. But I keyword searched within this thread and got every answer that I needed. (Don't you wish every noob knew how to look for their own answers?) So I just wanted to write a note of thanks to the author of this kit, and to everyone else that has given him constructive feedback to make this kit what it is.
