[HTC Inspire 4G] Doo Doo:
i would just like to say i rooted my phone the first time i tried this with bubby's method (RC2) with no error's at all everything is all good

thanks bubby for this fantastic little app u have created :D

Eleven points! What a great job!
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Hey Moe,

I had to resort to flashing the stock RUU due to a corrupt bootloader, but during the installation process, the wizard stonewalls during the "waiting for bootloader" step, which is right after you begin the install and just after it verifies the rom image. I can't seem to get any further for some reason, (made sure all firewall/anti-virus, etc. is disabled, usb debugging on, charge only). Everyone else seems to have had luck running the RUU, but of course, I'm the placebo. Am I the proud owner of a paperweight?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Try restarting the computer, make sure everything is off like you have done and the settings you described, and run the program as administrator. It may take ten minutes or more to finish.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Tried it, but nuthin'. Now I'm getting USB connectivity errors and the only option I get from the program is to exit it, even after a reboot. The phone's hboot screen only shows 1 option when unplugging the USB cable: RUU, (but nothing made it's way over to the phone, so I don't dare reboot). Made sure that I was setup as admin, USB was snug into the phone and PC, all firewalls/anti-virus/etc. were still shut down, but of course.... I can't verify anything on the phone due to it's current state. As much as I hate to admit defeat, if I were on the Titanic, I'd say the band is warming up the violins. Damn, I was really having fun with this thing too. But, I knew the risks going in, so I guess it was just my turn to face the firing squad. I can't think of anything else to try, but I'll leave it plugged into the PC anyway. I'm too damn tired to think straight right now, so I'll try to get back to it a little later. I appreciate the help.

Stupid Question

Hi, I was wondering if my phone is also simm unlock so I can use it with other carriers....

I have used buddys method to s-off and root and then one click Eng off. Currently running coredroid 4.8...

Is there a way to test if my phone is SIM Unlocked without actually putting in SIM from another vendor (as I dont have one right now)

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
It's not over. Just pm me later today.
[HTC Inspire 4G] qbeezy:
I would like to send a big thanks to buddy for his work because I tried the hack kit a few times and I have actually obtained root, su, and cwm on one go. (not to take anything away from Ace hack kit or anything). Amazing program!:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
I will, Wolf. I appreciate the assistance. I just hate admitting that I'm too damn old to be tinkering with my toys these days. BTW, the PC I have is a pseudo-dinosaur. I'm just running WinXP, SP3 on a 6-year old Dell Dimension 4700, but everything is up to date, including all software/utilities needed to perform all steps of the rooting process. I was using my Admin account to run the RUU install when the phone bit the dust. I wasn't having any SuperUser force-close issues, but I couldn't boot into CWM recovery by holding VOL-down/Power or from within ROM manager itself. It did show that CWM recovery had flashed version 3.0.0.6 (from within ROM manager), since I took turns flashing older and newer versions just to make sure it did indeed flash. For some reason, I was still getting the fade to black when booting into recovery. I read a few pages back about trying the 1-click ENG S-OFF, (which I knew was risky, but nothing else was working), so I verified that I did have root, (Root Check verified both root and Busybox were successful, SuperUser was not giving me force-closes, HBOOT indicated S-OFF, and Terminal Emulator verified root also). I made sure that no anti-virus/anti-spyware/etc. was running and downloaded Bubby's RC2 version of the 1-click root and used the ENG S-OFF. The status bar loaded about 95% across the screen in the status window and then the phone indicated a force close on SuperUser. Before I could do anything, the "Bootloader Corrupt. Do Not Reboot!" warning message came up and advised me to seek help here in the forums. I just wanted to make sure that I was providing every step of the process that I had performed, just to make sure I was giving accurate info on the steps I followed.
[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
I had the fade to black deal and just followed post #2400 in this thread to fix. Good luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
You are not bricked yet, so don't worry. I'll help you out.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
For anyone else that was on the receiving end of a corrupted bootloader, my HBOOT screen is only displaying the following (in case you wanted to compare or verify that you're in the same boat as me):

ACE PUT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-0.85.0019

MICROP-0438

RADIO-26.06.04.06_M

eMMC-boot

Dec 27 2010, 14:47:30

RUU (RUU is highlighted with an orange background) The rest of the screen is the standard white HBOOT screen with the typical 3 skateboarding Androids at the bottom.

If I unplug the USB cable, my splash screen just shows the htc logo in bright white letters, centered on the screen. Ah, fun times.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yosiraz:
Problem desription: after finishing all the root process, the screen fade to black when trying to get into RomManager Recovery or boot into recovery.

Solution: Run again the 3-21-11_RC2.exe utility, click on fix and follow the instruction - this will solve the problem for sure.

heeeelp

i download the htc drivers the click get CID but it says error make sure you have the htc drivers installed when i do have them and help/
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Did you install HTC Sync, then uninstall it, leaving the drivers behind?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Ramza510:
I'm up to the part where it says "Pushing cooked (rooted) ATT stock rom for restore..." and its just hanging here. I did this with my phone this morning and I'm doing it on my GFs phone now and I don't remember it taking the 30 minutes its been. What should I do? Checking Terminal, it says I have root (signified by the # instead of $, right?), so can I just unplug it and download clockwork recovery and flash a ROM for the sound?

I seem to remember that after this part, clockwork is there waiting for you and you are ready to go with whichever rom you chose, right?

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
As long as it's not actually INSTALLING the ROM, you should be ok. Go to the FAQ, and download, then load (through HBOOT) the PD98IMG.zip that's linked in the FAQ. That will let you have root access to get ROM manager and clockworkmod to work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
When you make a new one, just SAVE it (go to the menu and click save). After saving it you will be able to see this new APN - non grayed.

Here is the setting which should work:

Name: AT&T

APN: wap.cingular

Proxy: leave blank

[HTC Inspire 4G] weehawk:
Hi.

I did all of this and then flashed the Revolution 4g ROM. Now CWM wont come up. Do I have to use the ROM mentioned in the post for it to work with Bubby's root?

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
1. Sometimes this can happen when flashing a new ROM. Could be caused by using Titanium Backup. When restores SMS and MMS can cause the problem. The data is labeled as "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2". To get around this, use Titanium to restore everything but the SMS/MMS.

2. Could be a temporary problem with network too . .
[HTC Inspire 4G] corey600rr:
I have titanium backup, I have not used it yet to back anything up.

Bootloader Corrupt

Hi I am just a new guy here in the forum, I will try to root my Inspire later today, I was wondering if you had any luck fixing your phone, also i just found this

[HTC Inspire 4G] momof3disneyfans:
I first had s-off but my clockworkmod wouldn't work so I used the tool that bubby gave to switch it to eng off, but now my phone signal is terrible and it no longer picks up my home wireless network nor does it pick up so that my phone has signal. Does anyone have any suggestions that may help it? I am a complete noob but was able to root very easily thanks to bubby's awesome directions! I'm considering putting it back to stock, but in the FAQ's it gives directions to first turn s-on then apply stock fix. Do I need to do anything different since it's my eng off now? Thanks in advance to whoever is able to help me!! I REALLY don't want to brick my phone by making the wrong choices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nickovtyme:
Wow thanks! I rooted my wifes Captivate with SoC and flashed custom ROMs on there and thanks to DJ_Steve was able to get rooted with his ROM's.

I was really hesitant to root my new Inspire cause I didn't want to take a chance on bricking it...I just got it this last weekend. But I missed the freedom!

Definately has a few more steps, but you if pay attention, research and watch the video...its not so bad. I'm rooted and gonna go check out the ROMS around here!

Thanks!

Having a headache now

I have tried everything, but I still get the black screen trying to reboot into CWM. I just don't know what to do. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let me know what I should do.

First:

I click the simple root exe and tried to click fix to see if it would work and nothing and it said i had a corrupted bootloader

Second:

I tried http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=961406&page=240

post 2400,

First I typed in hackerize-ace install-downgrade, but it said hackerize is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file...

Then I typed C:\hackerize-ace install-downgrade and it said

The system cannot find the path specified

Be patient - pushing the downgrade ROM to your SDCard

The system cannot find the path specified

The system cannot find the path specified

Thought i did it right when i unzipped it to my C:\ drive

So im not sure anymore .....Please help!!!

Couple of questions

I jsut picked up my Inspire yesterday. Comming from a Captivate which I probably added and removed hundreds of ROMS. With this phone I simply want to remove bloat and enable sideloading...CHANGE NOTHING ELSE. FOR NOW :)

Can this be accomplished with this root? Thanks for the help
[HTC Inspire 4G] motumbo:
There is some way to fix the recovery or uninstall cwm without taking back the phone to stock? I think something with recovery got corrupted because phone always restarts when I shut it off, even when it is not charging(unplugged).
[HTC Inspire 4G] hasssan1:
Yes, root first, then install titanium backup and freeze/remove any system app you like.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dyne2199:
Yes, my phone has been successfully pulled out of the Grim Reaper's mitts. I received some much-needed guidance/assistance and was able to get a new ROM and kernel installed and she's running like a champ now.

ok now i have a different problem. i have gotten to the cmd screen and waited for my pc to push pd98img.zip to my device. when i get to the fastboot screen and press the power button to select hboot it doesnt seem to find the .zip on my sdcard eventhough i have checked to ensure its there.

thanks again
[HTC Inspire 4G] trilljester:
Installed this on my Inspire last night, everything went smoothly. Thank you!

One thing you might want to add in the instructions:

To get the temporary root shell, I had to press Menu and then select Reset Term. Then I re-launched Terminal Emulator and that caused the Force Close that the instructions were prompting for.

Other than that, everything went really nice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] JC_Miller:
any time frame ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I'm streamlining the process all into one button that way you haters can't complain the one click isn't "one click".

I'm also adding in // Check for device, instead of assuming the device is being displayed under adb devices.

The 'echo' lines you see are the only output you will see in the command prompt, they tell you what is happening and when.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Well, school isn't all day ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
welcome back!!!!!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
While the task seems 'simple' in the eyes of the end user, and while you are correct to some extent, the bounty simply is asking for a simpler way to streamline the whole process, which is what I am providing, I'm not doing it so much for the money as I am to pay for college and a car, and to get the experience out of this that I want. I had never coded a GUI in my life, but with my background knowledge of web design it turned out to be quite simple.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
So, this process will leave us with a stock rooted ROM, and then we can flash whatever ROM we want afterwards, ie Android Revolution 4G?

[HTC Inspire 4G] sheanzyy:
I say we continue to stay on topic. Wait for a release and enjoy the root goodies presented by yours truly, bubby. Just saying.

Flaming, arguing, and antagonizing opinions will just flare tempers and cause nothing but a distraction. So leave it as it is. Let the dev do his work. Leave the criticism to your fellow peers....other haters.:D

I am a person that cannot do the command prompt and all of that other stuff but thanks to the people like the person who has worked his arse off on this and other people like Paul from Modaco(Visonary) and the guy's at Unrevoked I am able to do this with my phones. As for the Gold card making that is about the only thing that is easy for me and I cannot see why anyone would have a problem?? It does not require anything like command prompt, all of you that say the hack kit is so easy and cannot make a gold card just boggles the mind, I have already made three of them just in case.All that was needed was the Gold card helper from the market and Paul's gold card tool and that was it.

To the OP thank you so much for all of your work and helping out those of us that are not so swift with all of the Command prompt stuff!!! I am disabled and do not have alot of extra cash but what I can scrape up is yours for all of your hard work!!! THANK YOU!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
I spent a lot of time trying the attn1 method with no success, many times even. Even went to the irc channel where everyone was a total **** in there except for 1 person who unfortunately left the room quickly. Needless to say my phone is still stock.

My biggest beef with the attn1 process is that there is no way to verify what you are doing wrong short of going to the irc channel. For example: according to his directions I made my gold card properly yet when I go to the irc channel and state my problem I get an answer of bad gold card.

It would be awesome if there was an integrated g.c checker on here. And I didn't post in the bounty thread as I think their kinda lame cause I would think they cause people to start rushing work but if this works as advertised you bet your ass I'm hitting that donate button.

To the people who are on that irc channel and keep saying how now one should not use this and all the answers can be had on the channel. Why don't you try being more civil and helpful if your gonna bash something that is more streamlined and noob friendly. You guys were more concerned about booting me out of the room because I asked for help twice in 10 mins without getting an answer while you guys were there talking about random ass stuff. Not to mention it was my first time using an irc chatroom.

[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
Actually, there are two ways to do it - push back button and execute Terminal again which will ask to Force Close. The other way is as you described - menu - reset Term, than execute Terminal again and Force close. Both options are essentially identical and both should be in the instructions.
[HTC Inspire 4G] SpectroPro:
Read the entire thread (not fun at all) and installed HTC sync as told to do. (Did this on 3 computers.. 1 XP sp2, 1 XP sp3, and 1 Win7 Home Premium 64bit...and on all 3 MSSML 4.0 sp3 FAILS...not sure if that matters or not...) All 3 computers are updated with correct .NET Framework 4.xx version.

When I run the one click (oh, and yes, I uninstalled the htc sync, but didn't touch the driver files...) step 3 fails every time on all 3 computers.

"Failed to get CID" "Error occured Make sure you have HTC Sync drivers installed."
