[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing difficulties. I am only offering help. The next part of my statement is not meant to sound as if I am better or worse than anyone else. It is meant to be an example for anyone reading. I did not use Bubby's method to root my phone. I used Attn1's method and I was done in less than a half hour. I have re flashed multiple times and I have tried pretty much every variation of every custom and rooted stock rom which has popped up since this phone was released. I tried Bubby's method just this last week to help someone else out. I have used his method at least five times within the last few days just to play around with certain variations and offer suggestions. I have not had a single problem any time or with any method I chose. The only problems I encountered were within the roms themselves, which get fixed. They are all works in progress and evolve.

I think Attn1, Bubby323, Mike1986, Sergio76, etc., ect., are all doing a great job for all of us and are putting in a lot of time to help users out. (To those I missed naming specifically, please excuse me. You know who you are.) There are also a lot of fellow users trying to help out those who run into trouble. Sometimes it is a missed step or a letter which was mistyped. It does not matter how many phones you have rooted or owned. Each is a little different. My suggestion to all is to read the posts of others. Check to make sure USB debugging is on, charge only mode is set, your antivirus or firewall is turned off, etc. This does not mean that I have never experienced any problems in the past. I have. Everyone starts somewhere and even the most experienced make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. I know I am not. Far from it actually. You can try downloading Attn1's hack kit and using the read me file which is included as a follow along guide to what is going on. They are not the same methods but they are similar as is much of the text that is typed in. It could be helpful. There are a lot of people doing a lot of good work to help those who want it and offer advice. I thank each of you. I hope things get sorted out for all of you experiencing difficulties. Hang in there. It will get fixed.

OK, it finally completed and everything is fine. It did take about 7 tries to root and S-Off the phone.

1. Script failed once at Pushing the files to downgrade your phone

2. Script failed twice at Pushing the exploitable ROM

3. Failed three times at CHMOD command

4. Failed once downloading radio files

I finally disabled all security, changed USB port, did a factory reset, and tried again. Must have been something on my system that was causing the problem. Through I have used the same USB port and cable for rooting and ROM changes on all 7 Captivates (some quality issues with this device), and for changing ROMs on my Nexus One. Go figure.......
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
I totally agree with your post Wolf. I think that most of the difficulties are gonna start coming up with ClockMod Recovery producing the black screen. This issue has been plaguing me all day and I'm sure others feel the same. Advice has been given through out the day, but to be honest I don't want to take the extra risk with Eng S-Off. The step that should have been the easiest is causing the biggest headache. I wish there was another way to flash it or have a recovery that was more stable with our phone. That's my 2 cents.

When you want to flash things to your phone, you get used to taking risks. I've had no problem with Eng S-Off, try it. :)

I hope this is the right forum to ask this questions :

How can i flash my phone to stock att rom if i need to send it for service ? does rooting void warranty ?

Thanks,
[HTC Inspire 4G] rubyv:
anyone else having download issues? It has been stuck at 12 mins for over an hour.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Yes, rooting will void your warranty. In the posts you will find a thread with the .exe program to flash your phone back to stock should you ever need to do so. Download the program and keep it in a safe place.
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Thanks,

by any chance do you know what page is it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I also have the clockwork problem if I use Bubby323's version. I have to be Eng S-Off. I am back to Revolution right now but I am going to try the new build for a stock rooted rom which came out today which can be flashed through Clockwork. I want to see if that one behaves similarly. EDIT: It does not. It's working perfectly and so is CWM without having to be ENG S-Off. So my suspicions were correct. It has to do with the way the image is installed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Here is the link for the stock version of the Inspire software. You can run the executable program in Windows and it will flash your phone back to factory stock and unrooted.

Rooted stock rom

I was wondering if anyone has or knows where I can get a copy of the AT&T rooted stock rom, I seem to have deleated the recovery backup with it on it, I have been running the core droid but like to change around rom's at times.Also for those running core droid there is a brand new version on rom manager I just downloaded it and installing it now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Efw74:
this helped me

I was just about to throw my phone across the room until I found this post and I did what was left out and it worked the first time thank you. I have to thank you for doing the one click bubby323 I will be sending some thanks to you very soon keep up the great work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] doktor buknasty:
I just flashed Revolution right now and I didn't need the Eng S-Off. The only problem with Clockwork right now is that the screen is black. It doesn't mean that recovery isn't working. Please people if you flash a rom and get the black screen, don't panic. Let the phone work it's magic and you shall be happy. At the moment I will not even mess with the Eng S-Off, my goal was completed (getting bloatware off my phone).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
The Clockwork issue shows up when using these rooted stock roms. If you go through the S-Off and temp root process and flash one of the Desire HD based roms then clockwork seems to work fine. I have just gone through the process and downgraded my phone again and I will flash this new stock rom through clockwork and see if it has the same issues as the rest of the stock roms.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I had my suspicions and I reflashed a few more roms. The problem people are having is due to the way this image is installed through H Boot. It is being flashed over the previous image in a way which is causing what I believe to be a corruption. None of the custom Desire HD based roms are having this problem. There is a new rooted stock rom that came out today by twopumpchump, everything enabled and bloat removed that is flashed through CWM after you downgrade your phone and install the stock radio. It is working great so far and ClockworkMod works as it should in recovery. I was one of the people who tried Bubby323's version out a few times to test it and I always had the black screen for CWM recovery unless it was ENG S-Off. You may wish to test this one out. I will PM Bubby323 with these observations.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
I'm not sure why, but I did this and CWM has been fine for me. First thing I did after the rooted ROM loaded was load ROM Manager and update CWM. Always has worked for me...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I have flashed this through H Boot multiple times in many various scenarios. I know that some people had this issue, and some did not when flashing the image through H Boot. Every phone can react a little differently. There are a lot of people who do have this issue and it is worth investigating as to how the image is loaded.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Absolutely! If we can locate a solution, we can build a better root! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Exactly. The point is to help the developers just like they are helping the end users. It is an ongoing process.

I found clearer instructions on how to get ENG S-Off. I saw this on the CoreDroid rom thread. Maybe this help those who are the fence about this. Here is a link to the post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11561829&postcount=4

How to get ENG S-OFF:

* Download the attached "easy S-OFF.zip" at the botton of this FAQ.
* Extract to a folder of your choice.
* Connect your phone to a computer (make sure you have USB Debugging enabled. Connect charge only!)
* Open my "Desire HD easy s-off.exe", click "S-OFF it"! Allow possible SuperUser request on your phone.
* There could be force closes after the process, just reboot and everything will be fine.
* Done. (in bootloader it should now show ENG S-OFF)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mhyst:
Thanks, Wolf, for all your help. I am using the ROM from the One-Click and the only thing I had to do was flash SU and that did the trick. CWM comes up just fine for me and everything is as it should be. But I did think it was an issue flashing roms without clearing data, cache, etc., etc.

Nice to see TPC on the job (my Fuze still loves him!).
[HTC Inspire 4G] AisforAustin:
What's the difference between ENG S-OFF and S-OFF?

I need your help please

Hi guys, i tried rooting with the hack kit last night for 3 hours and it was rooted but the sound didnt work. I knew this was supposed to happen but after flashing the radio or something, it still didnt work. So since it was recognized as the desire i dont think this one click method is working for me. I then did a factory data reset on my already downgraded whatever its called and i think that messed everything up.

So pretty much my phone right now is a desire hd that isnt rooted anymore and i don't know how to fix it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CHRiSiSCOOLTOO:
so when i use this one click program, i get get it to fastboot but after it cant find the update file so i can downgrade.

[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
FAQ Updated:

Q: Why don’t I have any sound!?

A: You’re only ⅓ of the way through the process. The process downgrades your ROM to an old Desire HD ROM that is able to run the exploit (this ROM has no sound), then it roots your device, THEN it upgrades your device back to stock rooted. If you’re rooted and S-Off already, simply download and flash this file: http://www.inspiringandroid.com/htc/inspire/PD98IMG.zip. If you are not yet rooted/S-Off, you will need to run the simple root tool again. Make sure you get all the way through, including the upgrade process.

You can read it here.

does anyone know how to install custom boot animations such as the nexus one/s on the htc inspire 4g?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
ok so hopefully I can get some help - I've been trying to get this for like 3 days now. I tried running this "Simple root and s-off" again this morning. it "updated" successfully and I rebooted and re-connected to PC and hit enter and it just sat there for a while. afterwards as I was reading this thread I realized a post about turning off anti-virus firewall etc - so I did and restarted this process (I dont know if that was a good Idea) and now it just sits at the beginnig of the process before the update. I also read about an app that will let me know if I'm rooted and it said no so here I am - thanks for all the help in advance.

HTC inspire 4g
[HTC Inspire 4G] cooleric56:
my recomendation would be to restart everything with your firewall off, and attempt to you use bubbys super one click again and make sure you have the latest verison :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
yeah I did that and like i said its just sitting at the beginning of the process. and I have the latest version.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
You also may not need to re-connect it to the PC. If your phone says it's connected after reboot and the program can see the program, I wouldn't worry about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
I am connected to PC with fastboot unchecked and debugging enabled - I restarted this "Simple root" again and its just sitting there in command screen at begiinning of process before the bootload update - doing nothing. anti-virus and firewall off.

I was thinking to flash coredroid rom and in the instructions it says to root then eng s-off and radio s-off on order to flash radio - after I did this successfully would I still have to eng s-off and radio s-off so I can flash radio?

thanks again :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] cooleric56:
nevermind figured out how to do it by myself you guys take to damn long haha
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
Maybe you should have asked in the General Development area, instead of asking in Buddy's GUI thread. You might have gotten and answer faster, also being rude to people really won't get you help faster. Maybe no one who was on, viewing this thread knew how to do it. How about you enlighten people on how you did it.

so I finally after like 3 days got my phone rooted - so then I want to flash this rom coredroid and so was going to eng s-off (didnt know if I sould check that I have radio s-off) and I got an error message saying "incompatible rom/kernal" - if I did the "simple root and s-off" do I still have to eng s-off? please help me..
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Bubby's program is RADIO S-Off ;) It does the same thing as ENG S-Off unless you want to flash a radio, which we don't even HAVE a newer radio for our device to FLASH yet.

When you are trying to flash a new ROM, what method are you using? You're using ROM Manager and ClockWorkMod, correct?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
I want to flash this rom coredroid and so was going to eng s-off (didnt know if I sould check that I have radio s-off) and I got an error message saying "incompatible rom/kernal" - if I did the "simple root and s-off" do I still have to eng s-off? please help me..
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Have you double checked to see that you actually HAVE S-Off? Reboot the phone, holding the "volume down" button as it is powering on. It should say something like "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" on the first line.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
I usually use rom manager/bootload "install from sd card" - why?
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
yes I have s-off on bootload screen.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
You only need to use the ENG S-Off method if you are having CWM black screen issues OR you are going to try this particular rom. You need ENG S-Off for flashing the radios for this rom. You should check that you already have S-Off. You can boot into HBoot and check if you have S_Off. It will be at the top and say S_Off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rsuarez74:
I do have s-off...

one quick questions. in boot loader there was an option for sim lock. is that for unlocking inspire? if yes, is it safe and all i need to do is enter to recover and select that option ? thanks,
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
NO. DO NOT TOUCH THAT. Lol. Your Inspire is *ALREADY* SIM-Unlocked after turning S-Off in Bubby's root tool. You do *NOT* need to do anything further.

Also, for those of you wanting ENG S-Off to flash another ROM with a different radio, keep in mind, as far as I am aware, you *WILL* lose your AT&T HSUPA capabilities with any other radios.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CHRiSiSCOOLTOO:
it wouldnt open terminal up again. I kind of skipped that step and went on to the next one. After 5+ hours trying to root, i finally go it. Sorry guys for my noob posts
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
The posts are fine, we're here to help, but you can't skip steps. :p

I believe you are supposed to close it once, then open it again, it will force close this time, so then you need to open it one more time and it *should* stay open. If not, you might need to start the process over again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ghost20666:
So... I've been following this for quite some time. I'm about ready to go for it a few things first. I know I need Windows to run this util. But I'm wondering if I use my macs disk utility to back up my SD card if I can make the goldcard on the stock SD and restore the image when I'm done right? I'd like to avoid black screen issues as well or any other bumps. Is there a sure fire way to get this all set up without having to worry about the issues I keep reading about? How is this new release? Can I get a success story or two? I just don't want a brick on my hands.
[HTC Inspire 4G] McSurly:
I've had the same thing happen twice since getting my phone last week. And I have yet to attempt rooting. This is with the 8gb SD card that came with the phone.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Ghost20666:
Also... thank you all for the hard work put into this. Thanks for the help! As a new Android user coming from iPhone hell I really appreciate it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
I wrote something incorrectly. What I meant to say is that if you are already S-Off, then you should put a check mark in the box of the ENG S-Off program saying that you already achieved S-Off.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
ClearD is correct, but I do believe one of the custom roms I tried does enable this, I just can not remember which one. There may also be reception issues with using different radios. The developers try really hard to make sure that things work, but everyone needs to test it out to make sure it is working for them.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
There are a couple of different methods for flashing radios, such as ENG S-Off for the Core roms, or using an image for the hack kit or AR roms. I am providing a link to the radio flashing thread not to "inspire" people to go ahead and do it, but so that you can read about the procedure so that you know what may be in store for you. Also, heed his warning.

"DISCLAIMER

Flashing radio is A VERY RISKY OPERATION and may brick your device if something goes wrong; you may also not be able to flash a previous version if the newer one isn't performing well."
