[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Yes, that';s why i have. i am doing another process right now and i am at the spot that i always confused :

"You should have S-OFF "

On top i see S-OFF. then i have these options :

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOTER

POWER DOWN

what should i do in my phone now ? Thanks for your help
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
On your bootloader screen after your phone boots into HBOOT, at the VERY TOP, the first line, it should say something like "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF". Does it say that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Yes.

now what should i do on my phone ( same screen with 4 options ) or should i just press enter ? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You should be able to just continue with the program from that point. You are S-Off, which is good. =] That's the first step to permanent root.

I'd help more, but it seems bubby has taken down the source code... my phone is done already, and I don't have the program on this laptop. =[
[HTC Inspire 4G] mnhertz26:
First try worked like a charm

This worked like a charm. If you follow the steps exactly, it works perfectly. It is not as "one click" as the method for the Evo, but considering how new this phone is..I am very impressed. Thank you Bubby...donnation to follow.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Thanks alot for your help. I will try again and read around. i might know where my problem was.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Not a problem ;) I'll try to assist further if I can; I'd be a lot more useful with the source code lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Thanks to bubby and all other members. i finally complete the process.

Now when i try to use titanium back up, it still says my phone is not rooted. Do i need to do any thing else in order to have rooted system ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
OK, I am stomped here. Just ran through the whole process and everything appeared to have went OK, but I am unable to flash CWM recovery and getting " An error occured while attempting to run a privileged command". I am getting the same error when attempting to install any of the rooted apps. I am also unable to uninstall any of the AT&T crap.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
I have the same exact problem. I ran bloter to remove all crap, but they are all still here and root apps won't work b/c my phone is not rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
I had the same issue and got stuck for a while, you have to flash the superuser fix for Sense from recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

Then you'll have true SU root access, then ROM Manager will start working and you can run any of your other root apps including ADB shell in SU mode to delete ATT crapps.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
You are rooted, SU is just broken, see my post above.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I need to wait for bubby to answer these questions... it worked fine for me and several others. You guys are using the newest version, right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
The Visionary thing doesn't work and isn't necessary (everything is actually there, Clockwork, root, etc, SU is just broken), you need to fix SU: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

1. Download the rmk-superuser-v1.0.0.zip file from that link and drop it on the root of your SD card

EDIT: Thanks for ClearD pointing out that you should wipe SU cache and data before powering down and flashing

2. Power down

3. Hold down Volume - and Power until HBoot comes up

4. Select recovery (you'll get the HTC screen briefly and then clockwork should come up)

5. Select Install .Zip from SD Card

6. Select and install rmk-superuser-v1.0.0.zip

When you reboot, ROM manager (or any other root app) should now be able to acquire SU access without force closes and you're good to go! I was then able to re-flash Clockwork (for good measure) and install Revolution ROM from ROM Manager.

At least that's how it worked for me...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You forgot one thing. Before beginning this, go to Settings>Applications>Manage Apps, select the Superuser app, then select "Delete Cache" and/or "Delete Data".

If you don't do this step, the old data from the old Superuser app may corrupt your new Superuser.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I will be including the superuser fix in my cooked rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
I didn't have to, but you're right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
Thanks! Awesome work by way, and thanks for being so hands on with us!

I will donate today!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Lol it corrupted mine the first time I tried it, so i read all of it, and that's what it said to do. Tried again after deleting the data, and it worked flawlessly. =]
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
Good to know, I updated my previous post.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Erm... Bubby...

Front page: "HTC Inspire 4G Simple Toot and S-OFF"
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
W.O.W

LOL :p

[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Yes, I downloaded what was on the first page. I am also unable to download anything from the Market anymore, all of my apps are stuck in "paused" mode, even after rebooting. mother#$@$@#$@
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Trying to help out, brother! :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] g4ess:
can someone make a youtube on this process cause i get it to run but a bunch or deamon some stuff
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
In "Manage Applications" in settings, go to "Market", then "Delete Data" and "Delete Cache.

Then restart your phone. If that doesn't help, give it about a day. This problem usually fixes itself. Also, it's generally a ROM issue, so don't worry. Easy fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
OK, that did it, thanks. New issue now. I was trying to follow intertiaonster's advice but can't get into recovery mode. When I select Recovery from HBOOT the screen slowly fades and phone freezes with backlight still on. Any suggestions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] eskimosnow:
SUCCESS! I'm rooted, S-OFF, and ROM Manager is installed. I'm installing ClockworkRecovery now.

One question, I tried to use the optional "bloat" option on the GUI and it failed to remove anything. How can I get rid of the bloat? Should I flash another rom? If so, anyone have any suggestions?

I've also noted that my WiFi seems to be having trouble connected. Is this just a weird coincidence or could it be a side effect?

Thanks Bubby for your program!
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
To all that have doubt's that you are rooted you can go to the Market and download ROOT CHECK. All this little app does is tell you if you have root or not and it also checks if you have BUSYBOX working.Just a easy way to see if it worked or not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Open ROM Manager and flash the newest ClockWorkMod recovery (version 3.0.0.6), and if it still does it, keep trying to reflash it. Sometimes the install doesn't "stick", but it should eventually.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Tonight, I'm going to make it my mission to start a F.A.Q. for this. It will address all of the most common questions that I'm able to answer lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
It won't let me. I get "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands".
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Then it's a Superuser issue. Try going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, then find the Superuser App, click "Clear Cache" and/or "Clear Data", then restart the phone.

Then open ROM Manager and try to flash it again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I've been meaning to do this for a few night's now, if you would like to make your F.A.Q official I can put it up on the website. Just pm me, or get me on gtalk, and we can talk. geek.preston@gmai.com :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
You the man. Now we need some one to post a Youtube video showing the whole process step by step.
[HTC Inspire 4G] AnyMal:
Did exactly as you suggested and was able to flash to 3.0.0.6 and thought I was done. Well, Root Checker is telling me I have no root and I am still unable to boot into recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Doing beta testing of my updated cooked rom, sorry for the wait.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rbjscv:
Success I think ?!

SUCCESS! I'm rooted, and ROM Manager is installed. Installed ClockworkRecovery. And used root checker to ensure I had root (I do) and busybox (I do).

But I forgot enter and run the command 'sync' when I running Simple Root and S-OFF.

Have rebooted and fix all permissions. Everything seems fine. Did I get lucky or do I have re-root and run 'sync' where it was supposed to be.

Hoping for a positive response, but I realize that not following the directions can be critical.

Thanks. btw This is the first droid I've ever rooted (maybe)
[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
You need to boot into bootloader and check the first line to see if it says S-off if it does not then you need to probably need to rerun it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ddiehl:
Can someone post the link to the gold card maker? I thought it was on the first page, but I don't see it..

Bubby.. Are you still available to walk me thru making the GC, and running Simple Root via gtalk? Still a little scared..

Thanks..
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
The 'sync' command isn't really needed, its just there to make everything sync up so the phone can see all the files properly. Your just fine. ;D
[HTC Inspire 4G] jwzg:
OK, Bubby, I've knocked about 120 "thank you's" and fluff posts off, including some of the arguments, and yes, your Dad's butt chewings :). Let's do our best to keep this on topic without a bunch of short, information-less posts.

BTW, got my mod clothes back :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
Thanks Wolf!

I opened the file buildprop in Root Explorer (read/write changed to mount R/O), but there is no way to edit this file directly. Am I missing something?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lortay78:
Instructions?

Alright, I am not exactly new to rooting, but I have only worked with samsung and motorola phones. I am entirely new to this gold card business, and I need a little noob instruction. I see several methods for making gold cards, but it looks like this application has that capability built in. I have downloaded drivers, the hack kit, this application, and a gold card maker. I think I am ready to go when the phone shows up, but When I open this program I am almost instantly baffled. I am just trying to do my homework before I start....

The application shows a dialog box asking for MMC. Will that fill in when I have the card I am ready to make?

I would love a youtube video or a little more supplementary instruction before I dive in to this phone. Any links or advise would be greatly appreciated. I have been reading through this thread, but I see that the program has been updated significantly since a lot of the posts, so I don't want to get lost on things that are no longer issues.

Um duh. MMC=Multimedia card. Sorry folks... but seriously, Is it really simple enough that we have no instructions?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
What's a good indicator that the huspa hack worked. I'm getting mediocre results on the upload (x<350kb). That could be at&t though. Was there something else I was supposed to do to get hauls working right?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
Sorry. Meant hsupa not hauls.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Could someone please help me out.

Whenever I am on the step where I enter HBOOT and press power the instructions say that I should follow the onscreen instructions. I see no instructions. That green text searches for the .zip and I see the blue status bar at the top right. After that screen it goes to a screen that says "checking the .zip" with a yellow status bar at the top right. Then when its done returns to a screen that says "HBOOT USB PLUG" with options to fast boot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, image crc.

This is the same exact problem I had when I followed the hack kit instructions and got no answers. I watched the online video of the hack kit and saw the instructions that you are supposed to see but not me. What would you do?

EDIT - I have also rebooted phone and tried to continue one-click and it tells me to go to settings-applications-check "unknown sources". There is no "unknown sources" option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Needs to be mounted in R/W (read/wrote), not R/O (read only). To edit it, long-press on the file on the screen and there should be an "open in text editor" option. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Most of the bad upload speeds aren't actually occurring from your device, but rather whether AT&T has overhauled their backend in your area to support 4G upload speeds. You might show the "H+" icon, but their network might not FULLY support the speeds yet.

You can check your build.prop file using Root Explorer (see the other relative post on the previous page) to see if it is enabled.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
When you rebooted into HBOOT...

1. Was Fastboot turned off?

2. Was USB Debugging turned on?

3. Were any errors given?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Yes. Fastboot was turned off and usb debugging mode was turned on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
By root of SD you mean on the SD card ? b/c i can not find root folder in my SD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pandacat17:
Whenever I try to boot into recovery (via HBoot or rom manager) the splash only fades into a black backlight. I can't flash Clockwork from Rom Manager because SU is messed up....What should I do?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
That is correct. Just the base of your SD card, not in any folders.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Hmmm... it didn't say an error of any kind? Which part are you doing, the downgrade or the upgrade? It might be a goldcard issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I think the best route would be starting over with Bubby's new release. The superuser will be fixed, as well as the clockworkmod issue, I believe. It should also be a lot faster and more streamlined, with less typing on the user's end.

EDIT: sorry for the triple post, I literally just now realized there was a "multi-quote" button. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] G1lolhax:
I'm having the same issue. someone please answer? it would be much appreciated :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] pandacat17:
Thanks! how new is this new release though? I started this about four hours ago.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Ok, I went ahead and did a restore in case my multiple attempts at rooting have messed something up. Just started one-click and I have the instructions to start the update now! Hopefully all goes well from here. You'll be hearing from me soon, if not.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pandacat17:
sorry to double post, but is bubby's new one-click (the one with fixed SU and fixed clockwork) out yet? on the front page i still only see the first release candidate.

just making sure it's not posted elsewhere...
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
I would say ( all newbies ) follow clearD advise and wait for bubby new soft.

Man i tell you, i have jail broke at least 20 phones since 2007 and never went to this much trouble and i thought i was tech savy :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
OK, I'm at the terminal portion. I entered the rage command and I'm where it says enter data/local/gree - f. Do I press enter after that? Then I type sync and press enter and it just gives me another # prompt. Is this correct? Says pushing the cooked ATT ROM now but waiting. . . .
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yes, yes, and the push takes a while. It's a big file. ;)

Not yet, it will be out soon though. Perfection takes patience lol.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Would it be advisable to have two sd cards: one as the gold card and the second one to be used in the phone after rooting?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Ok. The process has finished. Now I have a few questions.

I did this to increase my upload speeds past that 300K threshold. I did a speed test and they look the same.

Also did this to take screenshots and the screenshot app says I don't have root access. It installed but when a screenshot is to be taken it says "error fb". I downloaded Root Checker and it also says I don't have root access.

Am I missing something?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yes. I do this sometimes also.

Do you have Superuser installed? You might read the last 5 pages of posts... there are issues with superuser. There is a fix, if you can get into ClockWorkMod recovery to flash the updated version.

As for the HSUPA upload speed issue, I answered that exact same question 1 or 2 pages back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Thanks ClearD. I'll be looking into this. I will also be sending a donation your way for all your help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Not a problem, I'm happy to help! :) Lots of people seem to be having the same issues, so I'm making a FAQ with bubby right now that should explain everything most commonly asked. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] Blindfreek:
Goldcard

when i try to get CID, it says that the process is being used by another application. ( killadb.cmd ) Any idea how to fix this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
Well. I'm just a little happy right now. Thanks to everyone who helped!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
So this version adds allow non market apps? If I flash a rom such as CoreDroid, will that custom rom remove that option?

Edit: Went ahead and tried it. I'm new at all of this so I wanted to ask first. To answer my own question for anyone else that doesn't know, it does not remove that option.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Is there any way to improve the volume issue on this phone ? it's too low and tiny.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
Flash the Revolution 3.0 ROM, perfect sound, and it still a "stock" Inspire ROM.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
By root I mean base directory, there is no "root" folder
[HTC Inspire 4G] AisforAustin:
Do I need to create a Gold card before I root and will this erase my phone after the process is done?
[HTC Inspire 4G] inertiamonster:
It will create one for you as part of the process, or you can create one ahead of time, and yes you will lose your current data, apps and settings (whatever is not synced remotely) unless you backup.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sportsguy15:
Did you ever get this fixed?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sicmadek:
so i have done everything succesfully. i have s: off, rom manager, and superuser. when i try to install clockwork recovery it says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!

what does this mean? this is my first time rooting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sportsguy15:
Uncheck "Always remember" when you get the superuser prompt. Worked for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sicmadek:
but how do i get that to come back up again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
From the FAQ in progress:

Q: Why is my Superuser force-closing every time it tries to grant me root permissions on an app; Why am I getting the error “an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands”?

A: This is actually a known bug for the Superuser app with all Sense 1.72 version ROMs, including our stock Inspire 4G ROM. The solution is as follows:

* Open Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.

* Select the Superuser app.

* Click “Clear Cache” and/or “Clear Data” if either of them are able to be pressed.

* Download the patched Superuser app from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999 and save the .zip file to the root of your microSD card.

* If you are unable to use ClockWorkMod recovery, restart the device and install ROM Manager/ClockWorkMod (3.0.0.6 or later), allowing it root permissions, but do not select the “Always Remember” button.

* After you have installed ClockWorkMod, do steps 1-3 again, clearing the superuser cache and data.

* Restart your device, holding the “Volume Down” button, which will boot the device into HBOOT mode.

* Select “Recovery” from the menu (volume down to navigate to it, power button to select it), to boot into ClockWorkMod Recovery.

* Select “Install zip from SD Card”.

* Select “Choose zip from SD Card”.

* Select the “rmk-superuser-v1.0.0.zip” file that you downloaded from the link above.

* Once the file has flashed, reboot your Inspire (this should be the top option).

Q: Why is my ClockWorkMod showing a blank screen?

A: This is actually an issue with some versions of ClockWorkMod. The Inspire is a newer device that uses some updated code to run it, so the older versions of CWM do not work with our device. There are two known ways to solve this:

1. Open ROM Manager and flash the latest version of ClockWorkMod. The last known working version is 3.0.0.6, so anything newer than that should work also. Sometimes it may take several tries before it will successfully flash, so you may need to repeat this more than once.

2. There is an optional Engineering HBOOT that enables ENG S-Off that will also fix this issue for most people. There is an optional download for this in the root utility.

[HTC Inspire 4G] topgun303:
Can you place this Q/A in op so everyone can see this? Also what is the link for ENG-s off? Thanks for all your great work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Thanks, and if i need to restore to Att stock, can i do that and how ? also is there any guide for flashng android roms?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
It will all be going up soon, there are about 10 answers already lol. The ENG S-Off is going to actually be included (as an option, since it's somewhat dangerous and unnecessary) in the new version of the simple root program, but for now, there's a separate thread about it that californiarailroader started in the Inspire Android Development forum. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Hey ClearD I have a quick question: I was one of those users that had problems with the clockmod recovery. Every time my phone turns on, it boots up to bootloader and nothing else. No matter what option I choose, it goes straight back to it. Is there anything that I can do at this point? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
If you're stuck unable to boot into android, can you flash one of the ROMs floating around? If not, try following the "Return to Stock" thread and trying the rooting method again. :) One of those two should get you going.

In bootloader, are you S-Off or S-On?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rbjscv:
Question on removing bloat

Lots of commands are listed when I start the remove bloat process.

Do I just wait and the script will automatically remove bloat? I'm guessing it takes sometime for the process to run.

Thanks, rbjscv
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
It say on my phone: SHIP S-OFF RL. How would I be able to flash another rom? Every time my gold card is in the phone and I go to hboot, it loads and asks me if I wanna start the update.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Sharp Rock:
Sorry, didn't read things right. My response was WRONG.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jwzg:
Cleaned 6 posts and edited another. Keep it on topic folks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
Nope the phone isn't plug in and isn't Eng-OFF. I'm probably gonna try and do the update that hboot is always asking me to do (since the gold card is in). Ok right now I took the gold card out and selected factory reset. It showed the htc logo, then went to the black screen. I'm gonna leave it that way for a few mins and see where that leads me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Here is an easy fix just for you. :)

Download http://www.inspiringandroid.com/htc/inspire/PD98IMG.zip .

Put it on the root of your sd card. (Yes you want overwrite the other one.)

Boot into the bootloader while your phone is powered down by holding volume down and power.

Select bootloader if you need too, if not it should search for a zip and then ask you to install the update.

Install the update.

Press power to reboot.

Done!

Enjoy your phone. :D

This has been tested and will be the cooked rom included in the next release, superuser works, and so should rom manager and all root programs alike. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
EDIT: Deleted, thank you Bubby ;) I was waiting on that, but didn't have a link to your stock rooted ROM.
