Video how to? More specifics.

Hi. First, I want to say how much I appreciate how much work you guys put into this. I want to root my inspire so I can get full download/upload speeds but I am a total noob to Android. Even with all these posts I still don't know what's going on so I have some recommendations and I would be more than glad to donate a sizeable amount if someone could do the following.

Make a clear and detailed how-to video with a set of instructions that are totally noob friendly. This means no abbreviations unless the abbreviations are explained. Half the abbreviations in the title of this thread actually confuse me. This may have some people rolling their eyes but like I said, I'm a total noob and all the lingo is unknown to me. People say, "just read other posts" to get all this info but I don't have time to read through so much crap and if I did then then I wouldn't be a noob and the "simple one click for noobs" is actually pointless if I have to constantly refer to other sources for more info. I have watched the acehackit video but that process seems way too involved for a noob like me. Is anyone up for the challenge? I gotta give it to most of the people here. You guys are very knowledgable but it really has me lost and I think someone could really get some nice donations off an easier to understand video of some sort.
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Have you seen the video that's already been made?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCcd1XQrTzE

Edit: nevermind, i see you have. The video made it very easy for me to follow...do you have any friends that might be tech savvy enough that might be able to understand the process a little better and might be able to follow the video tutorial for you?
[HTC Inspire 4G] crzytown69:
ok well I got it back up and running. here is a list of what did and didnt work for me.

1. 16gb sd card didnt work but my 8gb did. on that same note i gave up on the auto gold card thing and followed HTC Inspire Hack Kit instructions with this video youtube.com/user/r34p3rex#p/u/1/xCcd1XQrTzE

2. the app did a good job at down grading once I got the goldcard issue fixed. just rember everytime the phone reboots to check and make sure debugging is ON, Unknown sources is checked, Charge only checked

3. I had to TEMPROOT, RADIO S-OFF, PERMROOT manualy following the HTC Inspire Hack Kit and video listed in #1 because the app would not load them.

4. the app installed custom recovery, the radio fix, and the custom att rom.

All in all the only issues as a complete newb that i had was the GOLDCARD app built in and TEMPROOT, RADIO S-OFF, PERMROOT. i had to manually do that with the HTC Inspire Hack Kit and video listed in #1 ......

Question

I get a unable to chmd data/local/tmp/rage not found error when going into terminal. Whats the deal with this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] theworm20uk:
i also have the issue wher rom manager tells me my phone isnt rooted ...still kinda a newb at this any help is appreciated ! would like to try new roms
[HTC Inspire 4G] crzytown69:
dl HTC Inspire Hack Kit and follow the video i posted.I think there is an issue with this which is expected its new. like i said if you watch the video a few times you get what bubbys app is doing and can work around what ever is causing this. Im not sure if its cause we are noobs or just a bug dunno....
[HTC Inspire 4G] rawb123456:
Does anyone have a copy of the rooted Rom that is cwm flashable?

For I am rooted running revolution but I wanted to flash something rooted and as close to stock as possible.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
New to rooting, going to make my first attempt. I will post my results for others to see how this goes. I have read this post several times and believe I have a good grasp of the process and different issues that may come up. One thing I still am not sure about. Once this process is complete. What happens when a new release is pushed OTA by HTC or AT&T? I understand that it installs and s-off is still there, but is the phone still rooted? Also do you need to go through the removal of bloatware again? Thanks for any insight.
[HTC Inspire 4G] theworm20uk:
i looked at that hack kit ...it made my head hurt ....lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
You aren't alone. I was completely overwhelmed by it and was chomping at the bit for this method to come out. many others got it to work using the hack kit but it was over my head.
[HTC Inspire 4G] theworm20uk:
yeah everything seemed to go through but when i go to rom manager to install rom its says i must be rooted ..i thought i was ........rooted that is not intelligent ...thats why im using the one click method
[HTC Inspire 4G] Enriguelee:
I got the same message yesterday when installing Coredroid from rom manager. Went back and redo Bubbie's one click, and everything went through. I am running coredroid on my Inspire now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
That's what I'm doing this afternoon. I flashed coredroid last night and lost root somehow. Back to square one and I'm cool with it. It's becoming fun for me to do this stuff now which is the whole point. :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
I downloaded the update in post 3 and my antivirus said it contained a virus and deleted it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Your antivirus will pick it up as a Linux Exploit... because that's exactly what it is.

It's an exploit that roots your phone. Common sense, people. ;)

If you're unable to download it, set it as an "exception" when your antivirus pops up and asks you what to do. If your antivirus doesn't ASK you what to do, go into the settings and tell it to do make sure it asks what to do with possible viruses instead of just deleting them immediately.

PS: Other posters, PLEASE KEEP THIS ON TOPIC. This is the Simple Root thread.

I am not sure if this has been answered as of yet, but for those of you stuck at the terminal emulater script line "/data/local/tmp/rage", try hitting the enter key on the keypad before you type that line. Also for crzytown69, when you are at the "#" sign in the Windows command prompt which tells you that it is all right to proceed, you need to type the word "exit", without the quotation marks and hit the enter key on the keyboard before you proceed with typing the hackerize commands. If you download Attn1's root method, there is a read me file for Windows that will open up in your browser and you can use that as a guide to help you along when certain steps come up. Both Attn1 and Bubby have done a great job in helping people out with rooting their phones. Hopefully this helps those of you that seem to be stuck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Bubby has made an S-On tool that is posted in the first 3 posts of this thread. Soon, it will hopefully be implemented in the program itself, but for now, he has posted a tool for it. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
I am having the same issue as dvigue, when trying to load the file to downgrade I get the error that my SD card is read only and can not be written to. I have tried all of the suggestions, but no luck. I am running the program as adminstrator, HTC Sync is not installed but the drivers are, I have used different Goldcards including using a SanDisk that came with the phone. Anyone have any idea what I am dong wrong?

One note, after I format the card and put it in the phone, the phone adds a few folders. The Goldcard process is successful but not sure why the folders are showing up. They are:

.adobe-digital-editions

.android_secure

LOST.DIR

Nook

tmp
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Did you check that USB Debugging is turned on and that Fastboot is turned off? :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] dvigue:
Bubby helped me out. what a great guy. my whole issue was i DID NOT have the mode in CHRAGE ONLY, i had it in DISK DRIVE, so it was still mounted..then it all went smooth
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
I was wondering if this turned regular S-On and ENG S-On, or just regular? Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] theworm20uk:
yeah i guess ill try to redo when i get home ...............how is coredroid ???
[HTC Inspire 4G] gewbert3:
So i have a few problems

Has anyone found a solution to the CWM recovery issue other than doing ENG S-OFF? I'd like to not risk bricking my phone if possible. I already have root and would prefer not to have to go through the process again using Bubby's GUI.

Same goes for the adding "unknown sources" to the application menu? And HSUPA (I think this is just a ROM issue, right?)?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I'm going to be releasing another GUI sometime between tonight and tomorrow afternoon that will be completely separate from this one. It will allow you to remove bloat, change boot animations, install roms, formats partitions, enable sideloading, and add HSUPA.

This will be really good, in the fact that you won't have to download the one click when you want to do all those things. It will be more like 10mb instead of 500. ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
Sounds good. I had to use the release before this past one as it wouldn't go past the tmp/rage command line and I wasn't sure on what to do with it. I know others posted using the hack kit but I wasn't confident in doing that. So if I used the release I stated, this one will work with it just as a seperate download?
[HTC Inspire 4G] fq9228:
GREAT BUBBY !!! :)

Thanks again!

Bob :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] joe7966:
Bubby,

you helped me install the one click the other night. I am now trying to install the Android Revolution Rom, and I am having a problem I can't reboot into recovery mode. every time I try my phone simply reboots.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
That my friends, would be WinRar. It was acting funky on me last night it kept saying it couldn't include rage in the exe for some reason then it would delete it. I'll use another computer to fix it and then upload here shortly. It says is there in the archive though...
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Go ahead and use ROM Manager to boot into recovery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
Awesome sauce. Thanks again bud. You really know your stuff when it comes to this and I appreciate all that you're doing for us.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
Wow, so simple, can't believe I overlooked that, thank you.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jeremyseattle:
So cool

Just got my Inspire today, and was really excited to find this tool. Thanks for providing!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lionheartck:
I keep getting 'failed to copy' 'No space left on device' My inspire is brand new, how can I be out of space? Is there any way I can clear some space on it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RMXO:
did you turn off FASTBOOT? make sure its off. if its off, are you using ROM Manager to reboot into recovery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ishiiisbooyah:
I keep running into a problem going into HBOOT. I always get an error message saying Model ID not correct after it tries to downgrade the phone. I've tried this nearly a hundred times it feels like and have had no luck.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
I think I messed up somewhere, how do I restart the process?

I got up to the part where it says to go into the phones terminal and type in some commands, but it wouldn't let me, so I turned the phone off and restarted the one click program.

Now when I go back into it, it says something about wrong image in the HBoot thing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] carhigh:
What is classified as bloat? Reason i ask, is i installed [ROM][Updated] Inspire 4G Stock Rom w/Root, HSUPA, and Sideloading,

and installed titanium and removed some of the bloat myself. Wondering what the bloat remover actualy removes?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nocmadman:
few things. The program had to be run as administrator or it could not create gold card.

first run gave me the

main version is older ERROR

second run ran fine untill i had to issue the rage command. It was not coppied to my card.

I had to run the hackerize command to add it.

once i was done the superuser would not work untill updated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
Hey, I still need help. I redid the gold card (had to manually do it because the one click gold card maker wouldn't work) but then I get a not found error in the terminal when I type in /data/local/tmp/rage. I
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmr8cmh:
I am also haveing the same issue not sure what needs to be done to get this to work but i'm on the desire HD rom with no sound and can't get this to work any help would be great
[HTC Inspire 4G] davisvant:
i am having this same issue after trying two gold cards and the process twice.

all my data is gone so i think i have everything correct up to this point

/data/local/tmp/rage : not found
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
I'm in the process of adding admin permissions back into the Simple Gold Card Maker, I didn't think that would cause in problems, but I guess I was wrong. :p A new version will be released here in a bit, just hang on where your at. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
Once the new version is out, do we start over from the beginning or is there a way to pick up where we left off?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
Oh, and while I was in the boot loader thing, I think I might have hit something saying lock sim card, is that why I don't seem to be getting any service?

***Edit***

Well I searched for sim lock and found a few threads here in the forums saying it doesn't do anything normally so I think I'm fine with that.

Any ETA on the fix bubby?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
help

I also did everything but i still have s-on and no sound? I am a complete noob so have no clue what i did wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
I am using a 3g sim card if that matters
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
I've been waiting for the fix and haven't done anything to the phone after being stopped at the terminal step except for restarting it and taking out the gold card and putting the origional card inside it. Now I realize that there is no sound. How can I fix it in the meantime until bubby gets the fix out? I need to be able to use my phone while I wait >_>;;
[HTC Inspire 4G] brian2554:
same prob as you KAIME....to a tee.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
If you have a bluethooth it will work for now
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
You guys could download and flash the stock RUU. It's on here somewhere in the Inspire section.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
I have no idea how to do that, first time with rooting and so far haven't gotten that far I don't believe. I'm not sure if I'm even rooted right now since I got stuck at the terminal rage step >.<

If maybe you could kindly tell me how to flash the rom and where I can find it, I'd happily give you an internet high five.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
Same boat here....i got an app called root check and it says i dont have root
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
Yeah I just checked too, is there a way I can just reset everything back to how I had it when I got it out of the box?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmaner:
if u r getting an error when you do the "/data/local/tmp/rage" step do this, it worked for me.

1. go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

2. download the Ace Hack Kit V9 Updated hack kit (03-02-2011).

3. extract to an easy to find location on your PC

4. open the README-WINDOWS.html file

5. go to the section where it says "3. TEMPROOT, RADIO S-OFF, PERMROOT"

6. go from there to the part where u enter 'sync' in term.

7. space bar through the command prompt till you catch up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kaimie:
Wait, how do I start step three? It says

1. Once the phone has been successfully downgraded, proceed. Make sure the phone is running

and USB debugging is enabled and in charge-only mode (USB not mounted on the PC).

2. IMPORTANT: BEFORE SWITCHING FROM DISK DRIVE TO CHARGE ONLY MODE,

ALWAYS EJECT THE GOLDCARD FROM WINDOWS SOFTWARE TO FLUSH

WRITE BUFFERS AND AVOID CORRUPTING THE SDCARD.

3. hackerize-ace rage <---what do I do with this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Hang on guys, it's coming. My computer started to give me permission errors for rage, who only knows why, I remote desktop-ed into Moe's computer and now it is upload. :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
will i be able to start again from the beginning one the upload is done?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
Absolutely. Nobody download it until I give the signal, it'll bash the server. :eek:
[HTC Inspire 4G] crzytown69:
PIMP sauce. I have my fiances Inspire to do yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmaner:
assuming you unzipped the ACE kit to c:\ace (for example) you will see a file named 'hackerize-ace.cmd', this is essentially a scripted cli (or command line interface) package of commands. that being said, if you type 'hackerize-ace' and hit enter you'll get an error as the script has to have a parameter. in this case the parameter is 'rage' so you open a command prompt, cd to the directory where the ACS kit is unzipped at and type hackerize-ace rage. all that follows is to follow the directions as stated in my above poste.

it would prolly be easier just to wait on bubby though :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] davisvant:
what program did you use to unzip the .gz file
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
WinRAR, but just wait the upload is at 68%.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
You can use jZip:

http://www.jzip.com/
[HTC Inspire 4G] mmaner:
winrar, prolly should've mentioned that. my bad.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Since it was mentioned previously, for anyone needing the stock unrooted rom you can find it at this post.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917762

If you wish to know where to open the command prompt just click on the Windows start button and click on all programs. Go to accessories and you will find it in there. If you are running Vista or 7, right click on command prompt before opening it and select run as administrator. You can follow the instructions given by attn1 in the read me file that is included in his hack kit, which can be found in this post.

It also looks like bubby is uploading a new version now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bubby323:
The upload is done, go to the 3rd post to download it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
Do i need to make a new gold card and format again?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
anyone????
[HTC Inspire 4G] brian2554:
no dice, I will try another GOLD card and see if that helps :(
[HTC Inspire 4G] Four-Fifty-X:
I haven't downloaded it. With all the well-documented issues in this thread, I never would. Problem after problem. Apology after apology. As well intentioned as this may be, it's causing more issues than it's solving. Bubby has a lot to learn about coding and testing.

You want to run it? Go ahead. I don't want to, and further, if I think it's a pile, I'll say so, regardless of what you think, say, or feel. If you don't like my posts, ignore them. You don't have to read them, do you now? So, here's some advice, if you see my name on the left side of the screen, don't read the post.

Today on Wild Kingdom: Internet Safari we encounter one of the Internet's most troublesome creatures. The Troll. Bristle like body hair and severe acne are counted among several of its unique characteristics. It's underdeveloped genitalia, when compared to other Internet species, is believed to be the source of its impotent rage. Biologists have yet to find a purpose for this creature in the Internet ecosystem leading to it being classified as a parasite. Experts have tried to control its population by limiting its food supply, however, visitors and newcomers to the Internet Savannah continue to offset these attempts.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
SUCCESS. Thank you Bubby and everyone else that has posted with tips and tricks. I am now running a stock rooted s-off Inspire. I will be donating to this cause. I do have a question, when I try to use the bloatware removal tool, superuser pops up on my screen and I allow, then it force closes and the operation fails. Am I doning something wrong?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
If you have a working gold card which was created correctly then you should not need to remake it. I have used mine for multiple different rom tests and the card was created about three weeks ago.

DOES this turn ENG S-OFF

Hello :) noob with HTC android here and was just wondering if this is just the S-Off or ENG S-Off as i dont wanna accidently make my phone bricked!!! thank you so much! :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
Ok couple stupid questions..... do i leave s-off or do i turn it back on with the tool? Also my upload speeds are still around .2 should the be faster now? Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
This is just S-Off. There is a different program in the Desire HD posts for Eng S-Off which someone found out that it actually helps with certain Clockwork issues for some of those who are having them. As for the SU issue which someone asked about, I found out when trying angelchen1111 and gtg465x's roms that when I tried to update SU it became screwed up. If I did not update then it worked well. I am trying to figure out why this happens and it may be the way it was cooked, but I am unsure right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mhyst:
I had succeeded once already and flashed coredroid but wanted the stock with unknown sources and when I noticed this one was updated I started over with this process. Now it seems that I loose root when I finish the process. Any suggestions? I am horrible at coding and the hack kit is a little out of my league (I know enough to get me into trouble, lol).
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
Leave it as S-Off so that you can flash roms.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Wolf:
There is either a step that is missed to gain perm root, which I would doubt, or some data that is left over possibly. Since I have only used attn1's method, I am unsure how bubby's method goes. I always wipe data, dalvik cache, and battery stats before flashing a new rom just to be safe. I have not tried bubby's method yet, but since it has reached RC status I am downloading it now and plan to try it out tomorrow to see how this works out. So far it looks nice.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jadbox:
Ok but what about getting faster upload speeds?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
So I have been trying different things and Superuser does not forceclose if I uncheck remember. If I try to open from the menu it forcecloses. I tried updating from the market, but it still forcecloses. Anyone have any ideas?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Mhyst:
Yeah... I think that is the problem. Can't get clockwork back to wipe, either. Think a reflash would do it? Or perhaps while I have temproot, download Rom Manager and flash clockwork to wipe the data and cache?

Or perhaps using the RUU to revert to stock and starting over will work?
[HTC Inspire 4G] RiNo808:
Just a quick question, is there a way to stop the process from loading the radio...I want to load the TELUS radio instead of the stock ATT...I had to return to stock and unroot...I flashed to the TELUS radio and lost hsupa speeds on the upload...there is a thread here where people who flash different radios after the ATT radio, lost hsupa...the only way to get it back is to unroot, get back to stock...then reroot and flash the radio you want instead if the ATT radio...thanks in advanced...
