error: device not found

I've gotten this error a couple of times and I assume it is because I could not install the drivers correctly. Each time I try to do so, it asks me to load the CD that came with the ADB. Did I miss something or should it be having no problem installing the drivers and this is user error along the line somewhere?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Just install HTCSync.
[HTC Inspire 4G] budsmoker420:
Ok I got it sorry missed the simple stuff lol @ MYSELF

Well its reinstalling the downgraded firmware again.. when I finally get back into it

in a min or two do you have any suggestions on the root process thru the terminal emulator.. I mean last time it installed the downgrade I made the mistake of syncing with google lol.. and I have a feeling thats what caused it ... because

the last command said it failed like I was saying.. do you feel it was because of the sync with google that I coudln't get it to work and get it to force close once and then go back in to then have root ??? I know syncing with google probably tried to update some things so I was just wondering.. ### great im back in a clean downgraded rom.. lets try this again.. I appreciate any other tips....

mmc is an sd card, and what about cid? theres a lot of things it could be , caller id? Carrier Identifier ( used in locking a phone to a specific carrier's SIM cards) ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] muthabusser:
ABE maybe this will help you...

You must have HTC SYNC loaded as it provides the drivers for your USB connection to the INSPIRE 4G phone.

You can download it from the HTC main web site here:

[HTC Inspire 4G] budsmoker420:
I have SYNC installed just didn't think i needed it running since most of the hacks say to keep it closed lol.. see where does it say that in teh step by step instructions lol...

alright... SO does SYNC NEED to be RUNNING???? or just installed because it is installed...??? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
No sir. You only need sync to install the HTC drivers. You can uninstall the program once the drivers are loaded.

Yes. It did come with the phone. I tried it several times without luck.

So I bought a SanDisk microSDHC 4GB, Class 2 from Best Buy and gave it another try.

The Gold Card worked the great first time!!

(This is on the compatibility list)

I am happy to report that I successfully installed Android Revolution 4G.

(after some trial and error - and reading lots of forum posts)

I am going to donate money because this is an important project I think many will benefit from.

Thanks to the developers and support in the forums.

Well finally got root and turned s-off... now showing in bootloader

This is where im at though.. after running the /data/local/tmp/rage a cpl times

I finally got root and and ran the next command to turn s-off and so finally that is finished .. but when it got to the point where it wanted to push the cooked rom over here is what it said after like 15 mins of sitting and trying to find the phone and after pulling the usb like 10 times over still couldn't find it so out of frustration I clicked htc sync which really at this point what does it matter but it caused of course the dameon to report an error of course and it moved on to the next step thinking it had pushed the cooked rom and so im here now (pasted below) what should I do next since im already past the part of it pushing the cooked rom over???????? Get root again??? and install clockwork mod myself?? i dunnoo im pretty confused at this point on why this is happening.... normally it connects lol just that one time it didn't want to connect.. usb debugging on of course.. I couldn't have gotten to that point with out it on.. thanks for the help here is the dump from the script so far.. i'll just leave it up till you guys give me some advice on what to do next since s-off is acheived and I atleast figured out how to get tmp root... which I can do again.. you just have to work at that lol..

I have my Inspire rooted and have HBOOT S-off according to this method, (thanks bubby)

I have a couple problems that I've probably created myself.

su force closes quite often, after doing some research it seems that I can patch superuser/su using the instructions from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886999

A couple questions about this

Can I flash this using the s-off HBOOT?

Do I need to remove the Superuser market app before I flash this?

If I remove the Superuser market app, and this doesn't work am i looking at reloading the stock cooked ROM linked earlier?

And lastly, is this patch still relevant?

STOCK cid?

So, i used the tool "ENG EasyS-ON" to turn radio back to ON for warranty purpose and also used the CID HTC__001. Which was stupid of me. Cause now, I cant restore the original ruu from att. It gives me an error. I guess cause I changed the STOCK CID. Anyone know whats the original STOCK CID for ATT/USA so I can input?

Thanks!

EDIT: I found the answer by looking into the rom.img: The STOCK CID code for ATT Inspire 4G is: CWS__001
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
FAQ Updated :D

Q: Should I do anything special before downloading the file?

A: Download HTC Sync, install it, letting the drivers install. Once everything is good, restart your computer, then UNINSTALL HTC Sync. It will leave the drivers on your computer, however actually HAVING HTC Sync still installed on your machine can cause problems when it is trying to locate your phone. Make sure you turn off your antivirus, antispyware, and firewall programs before running the root program. They may mess with the simple root program and cause it to malfunction.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thatg:
hey the download page with the faq, instructions and all other links at the top doesnt allow me to open anything, i click it and it shows in the browser that ive been directed to the page but nothing new appears, where do i find the fix for the black recovery screen and force close on superuser?
[HTC Inspire 4G] budsmoker420:
Finally got it all done !! thanks for help!

After the post you noticed the script wasn't able to push the cooked rom over so

i decided to find the cooked rom myself and copy it over and install it that way..

For 10 days and no knowledge of what I was doing I owe a debt of gratitude to all who helped me on my way. Thank you.

And very special thanks to Bubby who took time to help a newbie and to ClearD for helping me iron out the last few kinks.

Go to market and update ROM Manager to the latest version. If that doesn't help then refered to post 1744 on page 175 and downlod the rom bubby posted, it should fix your SU woes.

Am I safe to somehow reboot the phone and start the process again? Not sure what went wrong. Just trying to avoid a brick here. Any help is appreciated!

An easier way would be to doanload Titanium Backup from the market and delet the bloat that way. Much easier than flashing a new ROM and he can keep the stock ROM he has now. Just sharing what I did.
[HTC Inspire 4G] momof3disneyfans:
Please please please help me, as a newbie I really wanted to attempt to do this and have seemingly done everything as steps suggested, but now my phone doesn't have the ability to make or receive calls, it's showing no network coverage. I really need my phone in case the kids need me, any help or advice would be appreciated:confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] DonS:
It worked!

First off I wanted to thank everyone for the tool and this thread.

The Inspire is my first Android phone and it's taken a lot of reading to even start to understand what people are even talking about.

It took me several tries, but I finally got s-off and root yesterday. It would help if the prompts on the screen reminded people to put the phone in charge only mode. Since you have to mount the SD card to do the gold card, it would help to tell people to change to charge only. With over 200 pages in this thread, that one is easy to miss.

I tried to use the remove bloatware function and it error with a message about the file system being read-only.

Using the Market, I just updated Rom Manager and Superuser and installed Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup had me change some settings and update BusyBox. Things are looking good now. It appears I can remove the bloatware with Titanium Backup and keep the stock ROM.

For people like me that are new to Android, I'd recommend that you install Advanced Task Killer. It's a good way to close processes to keep the memory in decent shape and prevent a bunch of stuff from runninng down your battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You should be perfectly safe restarting the process, yes.

Try using "Restart" instead of powering down and back on, while holding volume down the whole time.

Try flashing this stock rooted ROM to solve that problem.

I HIGHLY recommend NOT using Advanced Task Killer (or ANY task manager app, for that matter). I had previously used it for long periods of time, but it has a horrible bug that has yet to be fixed (across many devices running Froyo, including ours), which will cause you to lose ALL of your SMS and MMS messages randomly and without warning. You should also read this article ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
Okay, so I've managed to get into the rom part, but it says my ID is bad or something (bad goldcard I'm sure). So now that I can see it's hard as hell to brick this device (yay!), i'm trying again. Unfortunately, the SimpleGoldCard application cannot see my device on MMC2 this time, but it worked earlier. Any ideas? Yes...I have Sense drivers installed :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Unplug phone, restart both phone and computer, and also if the first attempt at the goldcard didn't work, you might try getting a smaller SanDisk card (2-4Gb) and trying that. In experience, I've found that if the card that comes with the phone won't work, usually smaller ones work next-best.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mattpait:
I just cracked my i-Obsession a week ago, so I'm really new here - I actually can't get the .exe to save to my hd... I've tried both running directly from the download and saving the file to a new folder, each in chrome, ff, and ie8. Is there something extra you guys require here, or is this just vista being the typical pain in my arse?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Probably your antivirus.

Q: Should I do anything special before downloading the file?

A: Download HTC Sync, install it, letting the drivers install. Once everything is good, restart your computer, then UNINSTALL HTC Sync. It will leave the drivers on your computer, however actually HAVING HTC Sync still installed on your machine can cause problems when it is trying to locate your phone.

[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
I just went to Best Buy and purchased a 2GB card. Here's what I'm still seeing (after reboots) trying to write to the card...
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
When making the goldcard, is your phone in Mass Storage mode, so that your computer can actually SEE the card? :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Colombia81er:
Well ClockworkMod works but only when i set it to reboot in rom manager. If i hold Vol Up+ power i just get black screen that about it.

And when i boot into bootloader it will stay in hboot. ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
I'm in charging only mode, as per everything I've read on this thread. The card is being formatted and written to, however, in the SD card reader built into my PC. It was recommended on this thread that we don't do it with the card in the phone if I recall correctly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
Wow. I just tried in the phone and worked great. I'll keep proceeding and see where I end up. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
To get into bootloader, you hold volume down :p

To run the hack, yes, it does need to be in charge only mode. However, to create the goldcard, it needs to be in mass storage mode. You CAN do it through the phone (I did), and it is recommended to NOT use a reader that is already built into a PC. The 2 most successful methods are USB microSD card readers and using the phone itself in mass storage mode.

After the goldcard is created, THEN switch over to charge only mode for the rest of the process. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
Out of curiosity, what happens if I use the MMC0 CID instead of MMC2? Still learning about all this :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Won't work as a valid goldcard. The process itself might complete, but the goldcard won't actually work. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
That's what I was thinking. The ID wouldn't match. Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] s1ickwi11y:
How hard is it really to brick the Inspire? Any reasonable chance I could screw this rom process up so bad?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Pretty difficult, really. The only way I am currently aware of, is messing up during the ENG HBOOT S-Off flash, which isn't even included in this process. You should be perfectly fine. If you screw up bad, there's a thread labeled "Return to Stock" that you can locate in this area as well. From there, you can flash the stock RUU and try again. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] DeathEvil:
Guys, is it worth waiting for an updated version from bubby or just use the one available now? what can be improved/changed?

"an error occured the process cannot access the file 'C:\users\name\appdata\temp\killadb.cmd' because it is being used by another process"

read faq and all that but cant figure it out

Try restarting the phone and computer and trying again. :)

And if anyone is having extreme difficulty, it may just be worth waiting on an updated version indeed. ;)

Here's a mirror.

Sorry for not compressing it, but I'm really not in the mood to hear people claiming that the zip/rar archive doesn't work or has a virus.

While I have your attention, I want to point out that I wasn't even able to get into the rom loading stage of hboot until I used an alternative gold card program. The cid values produced from your program always come up different from other programs. Just thought I'd let you know since there seems to be a lot of problems related to goldcard making.

And in case it's of importance, I'm using the 8gb microsd card that came with the phone and I'm checking mmc2 for all programs
[HTC Inspire 4G] ineversl33p:
Thanks, downloading right now.

do think the site be messed up may have caused the dwngrd not downloaded error?
