Bubby, I can also use this tool to unroot my phone right? taking it back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] masterquest91:
Please add this to the FAQ:

When formatting your sd card, set the allocation unit size to 32 kilobytes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
So question when I try to make my gold card it only gives me an option to do:

When I try FAT32

512 bytes

1024 bytes

2048 bytes

4096 bytes

8192 bytes

16 kilobytes

Will make it a bad gold card?

It is a PNY 2g microSD card.

But if I FAT(default) it gives me the options for 32 kilobytes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] masterquest91:
Since it's a 2gb card, I highly doubt it's sdhc, so your best bet would probably be to format it with a FAT filesystem. I think you should get a second opinion though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bori1030:
have flashed every freakin rom and kernel out there and sound still sux balls any help pls...
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
I tried that and it didnt even find the PD98IMG

[HTC Inspire 4G] Zonderion:
Is your phone in debugging mode and charge only mode? Is your gold card properly made? You may have to remake it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
No way. U have to be in charge only mode? Maybe that's why it didn't work for me...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yeah, that's where the FAQ comes in handy. Never seen that error before though. Neat. :)

About all the formatting of the SD card. USE FAT32 FORMAT. THAT IS ALSO IN THE FAQ. Use the default FAT32 options. If quick format doesn't work, try full format and vice versa, but use those options.
[HTC Inspire 4G] masterquest91:
My default format was some ridiculously high number. I just went by what this video shows:

youtube[dot]com/watch?v=S0sQFoS_m_8
[HTC Inspire 4G] fowenati:
The guide didn't make it clear that you had to have the phone onto HTC Sync for rooting and I had to disable debugging after I did the gold card. also when actually creating the gold card (the img) you have to set it back to disk mode.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
I feel completely dumb at the moment, I am not a comp noob or new to android, never had an issue rooting any other phone. I can't even get passed the installing the dwngrd.zip file onto the sd card. It is saying that it is read only. Any clue about this?

I tried posting a screenshot, but since I am a new member, it wont allow me to do so.
[HTC Inspire 4G] geogkdam:
Hi bubby323, just want to thank you for such a great project/program. I was able to successfully complete the whole process and do the SIM Unlock of my new HTC Inspire 4G, in order to use it in my country without any issues. This is a very straightforward process, but not simple =) for an Android newbie like me.

Highly suggested!!! And the Inspire 4G Simple Root FAQ is a MOST.

Thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Update within the next hour or so, however long it takes to upload to my server.
[HTC Inspire 4G] oFUNGUSo:
QUESTION:

is the zip this whole process leaves on my sd card flashable through cwm?

just wondering cause i just had to do this whole process over again, was getting some really wierd failed to mount error in CWM and nothing would fix it. just wondering if i have to do the fastboot thing or if i can just flash it if it happens again
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
Anyone have a clue on this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Your phone needs to be in charge only mode NOT mass storage/disk drive. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
so let me get this right.

when making a gold card, put phone in disk drive mode and usb debugging enabled.

when going through the whole process of rooting, leave it in CHARGE ONLY mode? Should i leave usb debugging on or off?

thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
OK for some reason, it copied the backup and the p98img.zip to the sd card but it just sits at the HBOOT screen, and I end up having to remove the battery to get the phone to restart. I read the FAQ but it just says install the zip file on the root of the sdcard and reboot, it just reboots normally, well slower bc fast boot is off. Anyone know what this solution would be?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Did you press the power button once like the program says to? That will take you to the next menu in hboot, and after about 5 seconds or so, it will search for/install the PD98IMG.zip file.

And fastboot is turned off, correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Usb debugging should be on the entire time of this rooting process.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rickiey:
NICE JOB!

Hello, excellent JOB bubby.. I just recently rooted my﻿ phone and have one question. How can I get the additional bloatware option to work on the program? I tried numerous times and says access denied... One more question, I must now always leave the GOLDCARD in﻿ the phone? I tried switching back to an old SD card and it would not boot up... Is that required?

Thanks for the excellent root program!
[HTC Inspire 4G] eighty1:
Unroot

I want to unroot to take my phone back. Steps I should take?
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
Thanks Buddy I finally got the enough courage to attempt to root my Inspire with your Simple Root. With some help from ClearD and his FAQ, Also I watch Zonderion's video tutorial as I wen thru the process really made it easy and after the 2nd try. The first try I didnt make my Goldcard right, so I had to redo that then I was good to go.

Here is Zonderion's Video Tutorial post, I think you should throw this into your main post so people can watch it and learn or put in the FAQ.

Once again thanks to everyone and GOOD JOB on this program.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
The updated version RC2 will be out after I get home from school, I feel asleep last night and the upload timed out. No worries, it'll be here for you all around 4.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Rickiey:
The FAQ on the first post lists 2 ways to Unroot your inspire. Might want to check it out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ac2005:
I was able to run bubby's procedure successfully, using the phone on tmobile (voice only). I set up wifi and the phone shows it's connected to my home n/w but no app (browser, market, etc) seems to be able to find and use the connection. Any pointers? Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Fixter:
Can't wait for RC2. Excellent job OP. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] geogkdam:
I ran the process yesterday without any issues as well and been downloading apps from market and surfing the web like crazy to test my my wifi connection from home (Linksys router n/g), as well as my Edge connection.

Suggest checking your router security protocol, as this may affect some products. I’m using PSK2. I know this can be a big issue, because I was not able to connect my ipod touch 4G using and old security protocol, so I changed and I have all my electronics workings just fine (Like my new Inspire).

Hope it helps.

Pushing cooked ATT Stock rom..

I was almost done with the whole process, when I got stock here..

Pushing cooked ATT stock rom for restore, this may take a while.

It been probably an hour already and it still shows this same message, what should I do? wait more? or did something got screwed up, please help, thanks in advance.

Got IT!!! Just had to wait for awhile!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
RC2 is uploading, slow internet, but it's coming nevertheless. Please report any problems or suggestions here in this thread, and if you run into trouble don't forget the F.A.Q and video tutorial in the OP. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathEvil:
can you post a change log?

I'm already rooted, just wanted to push updated rom, and wondered what has changed...
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Done. I was updating it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Good to see you my friend :)

Sent from Desire HD or Inspire 4G or whatever this thing is called via premium XDA app.

Visual Basic 2010 source for RC2. (Also in the OP.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] nsnc:
The CWM fix you mention in the changelog is it turning Eng-S-Off or something else?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
It flashes the engineering boot loader. The warning and caution signs are all there, and I urge everyone in doing that fix to please be careful. It is in a separate form, aside from the main functions. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
Yes, it never searches for the zip file, it just sits there. I push the power button and it changes. then I hit enter on the computer and nothing happens on the phone, no matter how long I wait.

I will try again once i get home from work with the new one.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bucs25:
I am about to root for the first time using your program...should I just replace the RC1 with the RC2 you just posed? Do I just do everything the same as the tutorial and just replace RC1 with RC2?

Thx
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
The steps are the same, bubby just made a few changes to have the overall process smoother. Check his second post in the beginning of the thread for the changes he did.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
Yes, that would be a safe assumption. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bucs25:
Thx. I'll just follow the exact same steps but use the RC2 instead of RC1 when that time comes.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ramy717:
Thanks Buddy, just finished using RC2 and didn't have any problems.
[HTC Inspire 4G] b1indsided:
I'm having the same problem. It goes well but when I go to boot into recovery the screen still fades black then nothin
[HTC Inspire 4G] ogxku5h:
Me too! Does anyone know how to fix this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
The faq explains how to correct this issue
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
This problem is addressed under the fixes in RC. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] bucs25:
I've been waiting for around 1 hour 15mins. at the area where it says this:

"Pushing cooked (rooted) ATT stock rom for restore, this will take a little while."

Is it normal to take that long? How long should I expect to wait?

By the way...I noticed while working on the phone part where it says to type "/data/local/gfree -f"...after that there was a place where it says

" ***Warning***: Found fuzzy match for brq filter, but conditional branch isnt. (0xea000012)" right after it says searching for brq filter.

Is that a problem and if so, how do I fix it?

Thx
[HTC Inspire 4G] joraanma:
Im having the same issue you having. did you get any answer to your question? my stay at the HBoot screen and nothing happenes. Please let me know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
No it just sits at the HBOOT screen i push the power button once and it never searches for the zip file, its been sitting on the screen for 20 minutes still not searching for anything. Any suggestions???
[HTC Inspire 4G] joraanma:
Im new here, what is RC?
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Release Candidate-

"Release candidate

The term release candidate (RC) refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to release unless fatal bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bug."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle
[HTC Inspire 4G] :
Hey guys. Quick question. So I'm at the part where it's sending the rooted AT&T ROM to my phone but this process is taking forever. And by forever I mean it's been 2 and a half hours now. Is this normal? How long did it take for you guys?
[HTC Inspire 4G] chrisjaffe:
I had this same problem. Here is what I did.

I searched my computer for PD98IMG.zip and found it in this folder: C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\resources\required

I then closed the cmd window and put the usb connection on the phone into Disk Drive mode and I opened up the SD Card from my computer. I found that it was already there and but the file size was not the same. So I deleted the file and copied it manually from the above path to the sd card. Once it was there I disconnected the phone and booted into Hboot. I did this by turning off the phone and then pressing the power button while holding the volume down button. It said that I had S-Off so I felt comfortable that everything up to this point was successful. So I let it flash from PD98IMG.zip. After that was done I rebooted and all seems well.

Just for the record...I am not an expert. I just got this phone and do not profess that this will work for you. Maybe someone else will comment and set me straight but in the meantime. This is what worked for me. I should also note that I started this process about a half hour before RC2 was posted so I was using RC1.

thanks to all that have put time into this tool. Hope this helps.

[HTC Inspire 4G] nsnc:
Thanks bubby, one more question- you also mention this: "updated cooked rom to NOT include HSPA (seems to be slower for most)"

If I want to include HSPA, what changes I need to make? Can those changes be done after the phone is rooted or do I need to reflash?
[HTC Inspire 4G] joraanma:
Ok... Sorry for asking newbie questions but it would be nice if somebody points me in the right direction, that way I wont be asking these silly questions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JaysFreaky:
Bricking your phone has nothing to do with the hardware. Say your battery dies when flashing a radio or something; Bam - you've got a brick.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Delete me. 10chars
[HTC Inspire 4G] altereddezignz:
Well all I have to say is if you are complaining about needing it to be once click then I don't think that xda

is the home for u. And on another not if u need one click and know nothing else then maybe you should stick with a oldy phone like a original Nokia or aomethibg. Or heck just sell it phone cheap to one of us and let us do what we want to it without cripping. Just my 2 cents.......
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Great now we're being insulted by guys who can't spell. I give up...
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
Dont listen to them... You guys are doing a great job. If they dont want to use your program, then they dont have to use it!
[HTC Inspire 4G] jasonyump:
because attn1's method is foolproof. he worked for about a week testing his method before the phone was released to make sure there wouldn't be any bricks. we don't want people bricking their phones..but go ahead and use this program if you wish. he could have simplified the method by making it easier..but he didnt because his method is safer. and is easily followed by a guide. and downgrading and flashing radio's can lead to bricking, not just hardware mods. its much different then the captivate. if you honestly can't follow attn1's guide you better off just sticking with temp root and not doing s-off. if his GUI has a guide the goes with it to follow each step then maybe it would be safer. but its safe to say that this can lead to bricks. we reccomend following attn1's guide, its not that hard, the hardest part about it is making the goldcard, which this program still needs. if u follow attn1's guide and get lost or stuck stop by the irc in my sig and we can help you. thats all so immature peopz no need for flaming this..flaming in threads leads to the closing of them. I'm simply just explaining.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GAPY427:
I found the video difficult to follow, and I consider myself pretty competent when attempting to flash a phone. About 10 minutes into the video, he says "Oh by the way you should enable USB Debugging," which should be one of the first things you should do before you begin to root.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
How do we know if the gold card was created succesfully?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
I'm not going to say if I agree or disagree with this post because it would do no good but I will say is that I have respect for posts like this one. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing in a reasonable mature manner. I am sick of people dropping in just to throw bombs over the fence.

As far as I know the GUI outputs exactly what is being done in a text box, the testing I've done so far hasn't bricked my phone. At this point I've LEARNED alot in a week and attn1's hard work doesn't look Greek anymore. However, I still like this project, win or fail.

By the way, much props on your audio fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Another .02 from me...

ATTN1's method uses OTHER hard work from OTHER people ALSO. Do you guys not see "Rage" and "Gfree" and "Psneuter" being used? He didn't create these programs, I don't believe. I used them on my G2 to root and S-Off. I even wrote a tutorial on how to S-On using ADB with Gfree.

Sometimes there is no new exploit, but people can streamline methods used for other phones for use in ours to make our lives easier when we don't want to code everything out in ADB.

This morning, I coded out my G2 to complete stock through ADB, turning S-On and unrooting it. I would have KILLED for a 1-click simple method, simply because it was time consuming.

Bubby, I (and MANY MANY OTHERS) simply don't care what "exploit" you use. All we want is something that DOES root/S-off, does it fast, and does it painlessly. We don't want to fool with ADB and terminal emulators. We want a nice GUI that does the typing for us. Exactly what you are making for us.

I COMPLETELY APPLAUD YOU ON YOUR EFFORTS!! :D

Thank you for all of the work you are doing. I can't wait to try it out!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Hey ClearD, there's no room for reason in this thread. We're only interested in stirring the pot :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] altereddezignz:
I may not be able to spell good but I am also not the one bashing obmn guys spending hours and hours creating a program to help people with no knowledge make their phones as custom as their personalities.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Just trying to figure the haters out, when most of them don't even know what they're talking about. ;)

I'm all for bubby's work and when it's finished, if it does what it says it'll do, then he'll get my bounty. All I really wanted (and any of us wanted) was a GUI to streamline the whole process. ;)

And I LOL'D, lrs421! :D

Anyways, how close are we to a public beta or something like that? :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
What is the status of the project atm anyways? Are you still contemplating a soft-release? Are you still in need of fast host space? Will you be fixing a few issues prior to pushing an alpha?

Just really curious... and more than happy to help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
I haven't seen the video I just followed the steps Attn1 had with the hack kit.

I had a bit of trouble getting things going but at least I tried and succeed.

It took me 3 hours to get my Inspire rooted and flashed. I dont see why everyone is looking for the quick way to root, I liked the learning experience of doing it all my self and knowing if I did something wrong I would know were. I dont think you can do that with the one click.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I was going to stay out of this fight because I haven't donated.

I'll tell you why and that will shed some light on my opinion and possibly explain some of the hater comments from others.

A couple of things out of the way first.

1) Nobody has seen this program aside from a few testers so I'm not going to comment on what it is or isn't

2) I can't code my way out of a paper bag and have been happy to reap the rewards of developers efforts and have donated handsomely in the past.

Ok now on to why I'm posting in this thread.

My ONLY take on this thing is that It's hardly bounty worthy. In the history of hacking consumer products bounties are a HUGE deal. My experience with this is in multiple products. I paid into the bounty to crack the encryption on TiVo more than 10 years ago.

Bounties are typically for things that have never been done before. There was a bounty for Rooting Eclair on the CDMA Hero, this work went hand in hand with rEVOked and both hit at the same time.

Whether the OP of the bounty meant it or not, the meaning of the word, is revered, respected, and meant for something big.

A One click script, while very cool, isn't bounty worthy, at least in my eyes.

I wrote one for a Hacking Direct TV Tivo units called The Zipper. It has been downloaded about 50K times last I looked and I never asked for a dime.

If I had donated to the bounty for Easy Root and it was rewarded for the work on this script I'd be pissed.

I'm probably not alone here.

Should the OP here be rewarded for his work, I don't know because I haven't seen it, but if so, that's what donate links are for.

My 2 cents.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
I get my Inspire tomorrow and currently have a Captivate. I almost bricked the Captivate by flashing many roms, kernals, and modems. I dont want anything more than root for the Inspire unless its like the Captivate was. If it is, Ill just return it within the 30 days. My question is, what method should I do just for root, side load, and enable hotspots and hsupa?
[HTC Inspire 4G] JaysFreaky:
I couldn't agree more.
[HTC Inspire 4G] projectDz:
^exactly.

More to the point though, I understand that Buddy is putting in good work. If you want to donate to show your appreciation, then awesome... he probably deserves it. But when it comes to the bounty. If members feel that the gold card process should be intergrated into the "oneclick" (as stated: the bounty thread specifically calls this issue out)... then members should not have to pay the bounty.

How can you collect the bounty when the process is incomplete.

If you disagree, then by all means pay the man his bounty (instead call it a donation). But if members agree with this statement, then they should not be chastised for refusing payment.
[HTC Inspire 4G] GAPY427:
Bravo, ClearD! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] blueluck77:
No suggestions??
[HTC Inspire 4G] xero91:
You can either flash any one of the custom ROMs OR edit your build.prop settings (modify hsxpa=1 to hsxpa=2). Please see this thread for utilities to change build.prop and for additional suggestions/help.
