Try clicking on Menu, then settings, manage applications, then menu, and on the filters at the top select all. Find Superuser permissions and click on clear data. It will cause the programs to ask for permission again but it should fix your issue.

A wipe before installation would hopefully solve your issues but I am unsure how bubby's method works as far as the steps go during his installation and what users can actually do during the installation. I will try this out tomorrow.

Thank you, that did the trick.

Patched superuser files for force close problems

Well I got this working this afternoon but had to use a combination of the one click and the hack kit. Had to push the files with the hack kit using the "hackerize-ace rage" command when I got to the rage part in the one click, but then the rest went smooth when entering the other commands. I also noticed its definitely a good idea to unplug and replug the usb cable from the phone after the down grade and before the re flash, maybe as well as before pushing the rage files because the phone just stops being recognized after certain steps.

I did not get the bloatware remover option to work, after running I click allow on superuser on the phone and then the bloatware program either sits at a # or superuser force closes. So I just downloaded root explorer and removed everything manually.

I've been having a lot of force close issues with superuser even after updating it, so I did some research and found this thread

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

this is basically patched superuser to run on sense roms 1.72 and above (I guess current versions of superuser have a journaling issue with these roms). I flashed it via clockwork and now I get no more force close. Maybe Bubby could bake this version in to the next rom release until it is fixed in an official superuser release. Any way thanks for all the hard work and testing guys.

As a quick side note, its interesting that the installation of unknown sources are enabled, but HTC Sync still doesn't let me install apps from its GUI like I could with my Desire. SWM still works well though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ah_hin:
quick question, how do i get to the terminal on the phone to type commands?

where can i find it?

edit: nevermind, found it, didn't know it's an app

is it normal for the cooked ATT stock rom to take a long time to push?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ah_hin:
keep getting this error

"The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"

does that mean I don't have root access yet?

how do I fix it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
When I open ROM Manager and select manage backups, it tells me I must have ClockworkMod installed. When I say ok, it asks me to confirm device and the Desire HD is my only option. Is it ok to select this? Also I thought the one click app installed ClockworkMod. Am I missing something?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
Try clearing the Superusers data from the applications menu. This worked for me.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
This isust temp. solution. There is a serious problem with permanent rooting . Installed everything smoothly, but "bloat" failed - no permissions. Than opened phone terminal and tipped "su" - got: "permission denied".

Definitely, rooting failed. Re-flashed again whole process - the same outcome. Super user constantly crashes - rooting failed badly. I was not sure what to do and re-flashed the third time . . just minutes ago . . and again the same story.

I have no idea how to fix it . . The older SU version (ninja) worked better, not perfectly but definitely better . .

[HTC Inspire 4G] topgun303:
I just got my inspire so my question is that is this one click still have issues realised on 03/03/11. Also after I make gold card for root can I just take it out and put normal SD card in the phone to to store music and stuff because I am.going to use 2gig SD for root and save 8gig. What I am.asking is that do I have to have 2gig SD card all the time in the phone after s off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Once it's rooted, you can use whatever card you want to, the Gold Card is only needed during the rooting and S-Off process.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pheno.menon:
Donated :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
There goes my first Thanks of the day. :D

To answer the common questions you guys are having...

Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Superuser > Clear Data

That will fix superuser, there seems to be problems with how it is baked into the rom, yet I will look into it.

Rom Manager > Flash Clockwork Mod > Desire HD

Yes, you do want to flash the Desire HD clockwork. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] topgun303:
This GUI one click app works on mac osx 10.6 also? or just windows. Becasue i tried downloading the file but it says .exe so whats why i am asking. Mac's use .dmg extension
[HTC Inspire 4G] eighty1:
this is the windows version only? And/or is this just put on the sdcard?
[HTC Inspire 4G] topgun303:
Does this build still have problems?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gewbert3:
Hey Bubby,

Any chance you could just post just the cooked ROM for those of us who have root but want some of the changes you've made (IE new superuser, sideloading, etc)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mhyst:
I will confirm that clearing data works in the event that you click "remember" in SU. I have to clear data each time I "forget" to not "remember," lol.

You are sooooo on the right track with this, Sir. Keep it up and I "THANKS" you!
[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
Hi Bubby,

1. Clearing data works only the first time. It is just some sort of temporary solution.

2. I have somehow been able install the root explorer, skype and android terminal (which was not there after finished rooting).

Superuser menu shows only one permission - Permission for Superuser?? Nothing else.

3. Fix permissions from ROM manager works only first time after "fixing" it.

4. When I enter terminal it shows dollar sign. Hitting "su" in terminal window returns: "The application Superuser (process com.noshufou.android.su) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." When you hit Force close button :confused: it shows "permission denied" and dollar sign again.

5. I am not sure if wiping data and cache before flashing ROM would be appropriate step to include in your application.

Thanks again for listening to us.

Good luck!

Bob

[HTC Inspire 4G] moe3754:
Just a reminder to all that during the day Bubby is in school, as are most 14 year olds and will answer your questions this afternoon when he get's home. I am sure that he and I will be getting together to fix the current problem's remember that this is a work in progress and far from the final release. He is the Brain's, I am just the computer with the fast DSL internet connection. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] ah_hin:
Thanks for all the hardwork!

but, it seems like we need to clear data every time we want root access?

also, wifi tethering by adding APN (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960058) doesn't seem to work anymore...
[HTC Inspire 4G] 007design:
First off, I can confirm for all the ungrateful trolls that this does in fact work. It took a few tries and it's not exactly "one click" but Bubby's instructions are quite clear and you just need to follow them closely.

Second, I had issues with SU once I got thru but downloading and installing it again from the market seemed to fix it just fine. Also, the anti-bloat in the program didn't work for me but once I had root it was a simple matter to download Uninstaller for Root from the market which I used to successfully remove the blockbuster app, the asphalt demo, etc.

Here's one more great big THANK YOU! to Bubby. I owe you one, dude!

007
[HTC Inspire 4G] ah_hin:
I can't find an option for uninstalling the SU app, only available for clearing data?

mind sharing how you did it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
You'll probably need a program that's capable of uninstalling apps. Titanium Backup will do this, I think there's an app called Uninstaller for Root that will do it

Super User Problems

For those having Superuser problems, I posted this link a few pages back

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

Push this new superuser file with recovery, it will fix your problem. Sense devices with firmware 1.72 and higher have issues with superuser, I installed this and get no more crashing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] civilian_pr0ject:
well i tried this and got stuck at the HBOOT part, nothing happened when i pressed enter so i selected factory reset, it's doing it now but now i'm nervous it's going to brick my phone because of the goldcard that's in it...
[HTC Inspire 4G] eighty1:
Is this something I run on my computer or I put this on my sdcard?
[HTC Inspire 4G] 007design:
When your phone reboots and HBOOT is highlighted, press Power to select it and then wait. It takes a few seconds to start the update process.
[HTC Inspire 4G] civilian_pr0ject:
well system restore worked so i'm gonna try this again.

one thing that i noticed is that it said *this cid is already reversed

before i ever selected mmc2 (htc inspire, which is what i assume to select)

the origional started in 03 and the generated one started in 00, so i'm going with the 00 one.

this whole part lacked instructions, and i know you will probably say it's common sense but you can never be sure.

now here's where i got stuck

"your phone should now search for the PD98IMG.zip and then ask you to install the update.

isntall it and follow on screen instruction press any key....

well nothing ever happened on my phone.

it just looks the same as when the fastboot came up. the only difference is that now instead of saying "HBOOT" IT SAYS "hboot usb plug"

so now what do i do?

no update ever popped up.

and am i supposed to be in usb mode or htc sync mode at this point?
[HTC Inspire 4G] civilian_pr0ject:
and when he says press enter does he mean press the power button again or press enter on my PC in the command prompt as the "press any key"?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cmeyer3:
I had the same thing happen, Ive looked everywhere I can think of fro detailed instrutions. I saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952224 in another thread and noticed that thats what my Inspire has out of the box and wonder if that is the issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eighty1:
I agree! So the image goes on the sdcard and we run the .exe on the cpu while in charge only? Im using a mac so is the exe. compatible with a Mac because when i downloaded it says this is a windows program. I read the op but it is not clear to me and drifted through some pages but I cant read all these pages.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ah_hin:
before you start the one click, you should change to "Charge only"

[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
I have looked all around and cannot figure out if this version has HSUPA on or off, does anyone know?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
To reiterate on what dondula said...

TO FIX SUPERUSER//UPDATE TO THE NEW ONE

1. On your phone, go to settings > applications > manage applications > "all" tab

2. Select the Superuser app and click "Clear Data", as well as "Clear Cache" if you would happen to see it available.

3. Go HERE and download the Superuser.zip from the bottom of the first post, saving it to your microSD card.

4. Use ROM Manager (or hold Volume Down while rebooting) to get into ClockWorkMod Recovery.

5. Flash that Superuser through ClockWorkMod, restart phone, and everything should be ok.

;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
To check:

Use the "Root Explorer" app to navigate to the /System folder, then open the file "build.prop".

Check the 4th line down, where it says "ro.ril.hsxpa=" and the number after the equals sign should be "3" for HSUPA enabled, if I'm correct. If it is a "1" or anything else, you may edit this file through Root Explorer and save it as a "3" to enable it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] eighty1:
Can someone tell me what to do with the pd98img.zip and the simpleroot.exe file for starters please? I have asked this simple question many times with no answer. because i am unclear and it is obvious that many of you know how this is done. This is all I ask
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Leave the PD98IMG file alone unless you have issues, and run the EXE on your windows computer that your Inspire is plugged into. :)

[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
Has anyone tried the Revolution HD ROM on their Inspire? Do you recomend it? I am a little cautions because I am new to flashing ROMs. I am comfortable with the ROM part but a little uneasy about the Radio. The Revolution thread shows two radio options, which one is better and is it better to change from the radio we now have after one step? Also how do I get the stock radio back if I decide to go back to Nandroid backup of my existing ROM? Sorry for all the questions, I have searched around but can't seem to find the answers to those specific questions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gewbert3:
Nevermind. I froze TTS....d'oh.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmaner:
if all you wanted was sideloading you could've gotten the sideload wonder machine. no android savvy required. with this process you get root & superuser. that means you have administrative privelages on the phones filesystem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I personally love Revolution..I played with a couple of other ROMs but kept coming back to it. It's not necessary to flash to a different radio - you shouldn't need to unless you're noticing problems. A lot of people are running Revo with the stock radio. If you do flash, you can always get the stock radio back from the hack kit, or the desire HD radios thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877295) has it available as well.

any chance there is ever going to be a TRUE one click for the Inspire? Everyone keeps calling this a one click method but it seems to me to be about 250 clicks of the mouse if you count the gold card. ;) I keep waiting to buy the Inspire until something like SuperOneClick comes out...I rooted my Nexus One in like a minute and a half using this method.

I used the one click bubby, that got me to the rage stage where it failed.

From that point on I used the HACKERIZE-ACE kit...located here in the forums.

Hell, I flashed Android Revolution twice today! Necessity is the mother of all invention eh? I couldn't wait :(

Now I am Radio S-off, Rooted and ClockworkMod Recovery, etc.

Trying it now Bubby. i'll let you know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
Ill try that again.

Not yet. Bubby is working on a Mac version, but that will be at least a couple weeks. The original Hack method will work on a Mac, but it doesn't have the convenient Gui.

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
Rage worked. It's pushing the ATT ROM now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] macr0t0r:
The Nexus One uses untainted software from Google. The Inspire uses AT&T's locked-down software with hand-cuffs and chains.

If you want easy, then wait for the AT&T-band Samsung Nexus S. Otherwise, just be thankful that we CAN already root, de-brand, and customize our device!

You think this is bad, you should see what the Motorola Atrix users are going through with that locked bootloader! ;)

- Jim
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
I'm up and running on the new release bubby. I tapped superuser and it asked for permission. Granted. Said there was a new version and if I wanted to update. granted. Worked fine. No force close. Everything is syncing again but so far so good. yet another good release. :D

EDIT: Flashing CMW recovery won't work. Is this normal? It gives me a message saying: An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!

EDIT2: I tried running Titanium backup and it said it couldn't acquire root privileges.

EDIT3: OK that was weird! Now it works. I was able to flash the recovery in CWM. Gave SU acess to ShootME also. Still poking around but that works now.

EDIT4: If anyone had Titanium Backup prior to this release and had it restore back should go to applications and clear data! I did that and it was able to ask for root access. Success!

[HTC Inspire 4G] Joelpatrick:
I'm trying this but getting lost on the step when you press power to enter HBOOT. It doesn't appear that it searches for that zip file or ask me to install it. I hit power on the phone and then the same list just blinks that says, HBOOT at the top and then a list at the bottom that says reboot, restore and some other things I can't remember. Then after i rebooted the c prompt said to go to settings-applications and check "unknown sources". I don't see anything called "unknown sources". What am I doing wrong? When it comes up to HBOOT I press the power once on the phone and then press enter on the computer correct? Do I need to press something else for it to find the update?

edit: I made sure my phone was in disk drive mode and now see that it is pushing the exploit to phone. This is new, maybe my problem.

edit - my phone now says "hboot usb plug", then the list at the bottom that says fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock, image crc. The cprompt says install update then press enter. What update? Do press power at this step? - pressed power, now says "fastboot usb" then at the bottom says bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader, power down. What instructions are there to follow?

edit-i just went with it, rebooted and get to the step where it says "go into setting, applications and check unknown sources, then continue" I don't see "unknown sources.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
When it comes up you need to his the power button once. Then it will search for the zip file. It will take it from there until you need to hit power again to start the update.
