No. 3.0.0.6 is a unique, one-off version that supports both ext3 and ext4 file systems, and deals correctly with both Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs.

If you were on 3.0.0.5, and wished to install a Froyo ROM, you would back up first, before flashing a 2.x Recovery. Think about it.

So I can just go directly into recovery from Rom Manager and backup/wipe/install Iced Glacier?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jggimi:
Yep. Please see the threads on it in the development sub forum.

This is a pure stock rom with root+hsupa+sideload.

Warning: the following steps to flash the rom will wipe your data.

- Use HTC Inspire Hack Kit or some other way to get S-off so that you can flash custom roms.

- Download the rom, rename it to PD98IMG.zip, put it to the sdcard.

- Go to Settings -> Applications, turn off fast boot and then power down the phone.

- Boot into hboot by pressing volume down + power button and flash.

After flashing you should have a pure stock rom rooted, with hsupa on, and sideloading as an option. I don't have any problem with this rom while I got superuser permission, sideloading back on and noticed a higher upload speed.

Some people report to have problem with ClockWorkMod recovery on the stock rom. You can try the suggestion from this thread.

Link for the ROM: http://www.multiupload.com/93I04ACXYU
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
--------------------------------

Below are the steps that I took to made this rom, you can ignore it if you are not interested into know how to cook system.img or hack a rom.

I basically added the root files to the system.img and change ro.ril.hsxpa=1 inside of the build.prop file to ro.ril.hsxpa=3 to make hsupa work, edit the customize/CID/default.xml file and change <item name="unknown_sources_visibility">false</item> to <item name="unknown_sources_visibility">true</item> to enable the sideloading option in settings, no need to flash any custom radio or kernel.

Here's how to do it:

- Download the RUU for the stock rom.

- Open the RUU you downloaded, wait for the screen that says Welcome to the Rom Update Utility to come out, but don't flash yet!

- Navigate to the temporary folder and locate rom.zip, which is a file that the installer extracted. I found it by navigating the folder with the most recent Date modified.

- Copy rom.zip to some other folder. This is the zip file which you can use on the phone to flash back to stock.

- Extract android-info.txt and system.img from rom.zip and put system.img in a place where Linux can access.

Right now for the cooking part linux is required. I used Ubuntu to do it.

sudo mkdir /mnt/system
sudo mount -o loop,norelatime /path to/system.img /mnt/system

nano /mnt/system/build.prop

update ro.ril.hsxpa to 3 to enable hsupa

You also need the root files busybox, su, and Superuser.apk, which can be found at ace-hack-kit-v002/tools/root

sudo

cp /path to root files/busybox /mnt/system/xbin/busybox
chmod 4755 /mnt/system/xbin/busybox

cp /path to root files/Superuser.apk /mnt/system/app/Superuser.apk
chmod 644 /mnt/system/app/Superuser.apk
cp /path to root files/su /mnt/system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /mnt/system/bin/su

nano /mnt/system/customize/CID/default.xml
(update <item name="unknown_sources_visibility">false</item> to <item name="unknown_sources_visibility">true</item> to enable the sideloading option in the menu.)

umount /mnt/system

Right now you have a cooked system.img

- extract all files from rom.zip, replace system.img with the one we just cooked, then put all the files back to a new zip named PD98IMG.zip.

--------------------------------
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Couldn't you post your cooked PD98IMG.zip for us? Shouldn't it work for all Inspire devices if it was taken from the official RUU? ;)
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
it is very big, hold down. The phone needs to be S-off first in order to flash.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ClearD:
Yeah... but you should still be able to post it. :p That would be a WHOLE lot easier than every one of us making the exact same file when we could just flash the one you made. Make sense?

If you want to share, try uploading it to multiupload.com

have fun
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Here's the link [removed]. Revert back to stock after being S-off to flash it. Also flashing system.img seem to factory reset the phone, so back up your data inside of your phone if any before flashing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
I just tried it and it did give me root access. Upload speeds are still crappy for me. It was worth the time just for root access. Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
so let me ask a question. If someone were to use temp root with say visionary, can S-off be set from there without a gold card?
[HTC Inspire 4G] farmercyst:
The install was fine and i have not had any fc yet. the only problem that i have is that i cant install non market apps. any suggestions on how to allow restore from titanium backup?
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Once it is rooted, it is trivial to enable sideloading.

adb shell
su
busybox cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
exit
exit
adb pull /sdcard/settings.db settings.db
echo update secure set value = 1 where name = 'install_non_market_apps';|sqlite3 settings.db
adb push settings.db /sdcard/settings.db
adb shell
su
busybox cp /sdcard/settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
chown system.system /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
chmod 660 /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
exit
exit

After thar reboot and you should have sideloading

if it says command not found, try to append busybox in front of the commands.
[HTC Inspire 4G] farmercyst:
thanks a lot. stock with root and sideloading is what i have been wanting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Guess I will be going this route in the meantime as well. Can't handle the "tinny" audio in DHD ROMs.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
So with the way you have this setup as of right now, it only works with a computer running the Linux OS?

Sent from my Inspire 4G.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
You need Linux to open the system.img in order to cook.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
After "cp /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db", I get "cp: not found".
[HTC Inspire 4G] Jgen:
after using this method getting everything setup I ran across one issue so far

ROM manager "clockworkmod" issue ,,when rebooting into recovery, screen freaks out white then fading to black ,wait for a while & nothing ,hit power button phone reboots like nothing happend.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
How is this done with the file that I'm downloading? The "cooked" file
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
how do you boot into hboot?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mj0528:
i wish you guys would enlighten me! I guess it's hard for a noob to get any help! Maybe I should just go back to modmyi and be a snob.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
clockmod is for desire hd type of rom but not inspire yet, they are not the same.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Is there any chance of getting this to work on Windows? I run Windows 7 64 Bit, I don't have Linux, or any form of Unix on any of my computers.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
I don't know how to edit ext3 image files in Windows. You can just download the one that I made if you want.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
That'll work, thanks!! I need to learn Linux I know, just never got around to it :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
I have another question, how do you flash this?

Edit-NM, Got it.

Edit2-So to make sure I have this right, I load this onto the SD Card, go into Hboot, flash the image and I'm good to go? I have a stock Inspire 4G right now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
You need to S-off with the inspire hack kit first and then revert back to stock with RUU and then flash this over the stock rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Ahh, okay, thanks for the help and the work on this!
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
I did notice a much higher upload speed difference with at&t after flashing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] footbal9584:
You can make a virtual linux that runs inside of windows

Download VirtualBOX (free) HERE

Download Fedora HERE (free) or whatever you might like, I'm not sure if Puppy (HERE) linux will work but it should.

Then you can do everything you need to do and make your own custom system.img
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Here are the simplified instructions for you guys who don't want to do all of the Linux stuff yourself:

edit: Moved to its own thread here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Zip should be there now. No sideloading yet. I will take a look at it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Does this still leave the clockwork recovery?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
Uploading an image that should give us an unknown sources option in settings. Also changed the default browser home page to google.com. Will need someone to test shortly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
I'll test it. I'm working so I'll be off an on the forum, but as soon as I get it, I'll give it a try.
[HTC Inspire 4G] twopumpchump:
finally a way to have the real at&t stock rom that is rooted with good sound :) thanks for sharing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
Install from unknown sources... Check!

Home page set to google.com... Check!

ro.ril.hsxpa set to a value of 3... Check!

AT&T apps removed... Check!

umm... Oh! Root access... Check!

Looks like a winner! Thanks a ton for your time!
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Do you loose clockwork recovery with this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyckid58:
I followed the original instructions with slight variation and didn't lose CWM, just don't flash the recovery.img.

I mentioned I made a slight variation and forgot to put it in. I didn't restore back to stock first. I included the boot, radio, and "cooked" system.img in the PD98IMG.zip and it worked quite well in my opinion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Sounds interesting, can you post exactly what you did?
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyckid58:
Sure.

Step 1: I followed the directions in the first post to get ROM.zip, only thing I didn't do after was go back to Stock.

Step 2: I mounted the system.img file and applied the tweaks detailed in the first post and removed all the programs I didn't want. Unmounted.

Step 3: I included the boot, radio, and "cooked" system.img along with android-info.txt in the PD98IMG.zip

Step 4: Followed the rest of the directions, letting the HBOOT load the zip file from the SD Card.

Step 5: Rebooted to find everything back to Stock, voice quality as good as when it was out of the box and I still had ClockWorkMod installed as my recovery image.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Thanks, going to try this..
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
How did you find the Rom.zip file? Then how do you extract the rom.zip out? I see a temp directory but hard for me to navigate in CMD.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyckid58:
For that I followed the first post in this thread. All the instructions I followed were from the first post in this thread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyckid58:
Cool I used the first post because I wanted to do it from scratch. I'm trying to learn how all this is done and this seemed a good way to go about it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tasty_chicken:
This was asked before but how do i get into hboot? Does the device need to be turned off first?
[HTC Inspire 4G] yzlvr:
Yes off. Disable fast boot also, or just pull batt.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nyckid58:
Restart the phone while holding the volume down button. When it restarts HBOOT will come up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gtg465x:
V3 is posted in its own thread now because people are probably just looking at the first post of this thread and getting scared away.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=968689
[HTC Inspire 4G] tasty_chicken:
cool thanks for the reply. I got it working. I felt like a idiot with fast boot on.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
you can also restart and then press volume down+power button instead.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Some people report to have problem with ClockWorkMod recovery on the stock rom. You can find the fix here.

That fix hasn't worked for those of us that have tried it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
Does the new version listed at the beginning of this thread enable CWM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] californiarailroader:
What thread is that?
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
No, I want to keep the rom as stock as possible and didn't bundle CWM in the rom. You can download the CWM fix from the one-click root thread to see if it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
I also did fixed some filesystem errors for system.img. I don't know if that makes any difference to make CWM work better because right now I have CWM 3.0.0.6 working with this rom.
[HTC Inspire 4G] simulatordos:
Is there any obvious reason why I can't successfully download from Android Market after flashing this? I am able to access data via the browser, but every single time I try and download it fails.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Dogboy53:
can anybody supply me with the ramdisk.img from this rom? I want to try it out in a virtual device but it wont start. :confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
I've got the exact same issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] constantschange:
This is my second time flashing this and still haven't come across this problem. Maybe try reflashing if you haven't.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
The first time I did it, it didn't remove the bloatware but I couldn't get a download to work from the market. So I re-ran it. That removed the bloatware but I still couldn't download anything from the market.
[HTC Inspire 4G] twopumpchump:
i followed the instructions in post 1/2 and clockwork works fine for me...not sure why it doesnt work for some others :confused: i have cleaned the thread a little and deleted the posts from gtg465x that pertained to his version as it has its own thread now to avoid confusion.
[HTC Inspire 4G] k2trill:
does wi-fi hotspot work without subscription in this modified stock rom??
[HTC Inspire 4G] carhigh:
This is great. Flashed both phones and installed titanium to remove some of the useless ATT stuff, but I do appreciate you leaving it stock as possible
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Did you flash the one at the very first post?
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrro82:
I did. I did that one and also the one that is down a couple posts from that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
The one that is down couple post is by someone else and may behave differently.
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
I've flashed this and I have no problems with the market app. I'm rooted and sideloading is enabled. The only drawback I've seen is that I haven't seen an increase in upload speeds. Though when I was testing, it was during peak hours and I had a weak signal. I'm going to have to do some more thorough testing tomorrow. Everything seems pretty stable though.

Edit: Okay one problem. I'm not sure if this is a common thing to have happen but MediaNet is selected and I can't select MMS or create any new APNs.

Edit 2: Finally got it to accept a new APN, but MMS isn't selectable like in the base unrooted stock ROM. I had to reset it to default settings in the menu, then it let me create a new APN.
[HTC Inspire 4G] earhog:
I got CWM working by reflashing it in Rom Manage, and viola works again.. Hopefully this helps others.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Dors anyone else have problem with CWM with this rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] twopumpchump:
those of you having problems with CWM, open ROM Manager and go to AllClockworkMod Recoveries and set it to version 2.5.1.3...i think that will solve your problems :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
I have CWM 3.0.0.6 and this Rom without any problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] car_nut:
Didn't help for me. I tried this ROM and GTG's ROM with 2.5.1.3 and had no luck. I tried every variation with both ROM's and always had the same result:

- Complete Hack Kit

- Verified working CWM

- Install ROM

- CWM not working.

I tried:

- Checking CWM before installing ROM manager into the new ROM.

- Checking CWM after installing ROM manager.

- Flashing most recent version of CWM.

- Upgrading and then downgrading CWM.

- The CWM patch kit linked in Bubby's thread.

I did finally get it working by doing the following:

- Hack kit

- Install ROM

- Install ROM Manager

- Backup to SD

- Redo Hack Kit

- Clear cache/data

- Restore backup from above.

I haven't had a chance to try repeating the above to see if it is a fluke or not. I'm also tired of staying up late flashing along with being spooked after rendering it unbootable along the way.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buckeyemike:
I'm coming from cm7 can I just flash this in cwm?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
No sir. Must rename and load in hboot. Instructions in the op.
[HTC Inspire 4G] buckeyemike:
Cool thanks for the response.

Edit: no dice. I think I got a bad download. Hboot goes through the loading bit and then aborts saying the zip is bad.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Have you used ruu.exe to flash before? It might cause the problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] car_nut:
Nope. I went from out of box to the hack kit and then GTG's stock root. I then tried the multiple variations of rerunning the hack kit and flashing GTG's rom along with this one. I'm assuming Bubby's hack is installing a similar ROM and there appears to be some number of people with the same issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BB2DX:
So, i want to make sure i get this right. If I use the hack kit to downgrade and root. The if i download the zip from the very first post of this thread, unzip it, delete the recovery image, and rezip it, I should keep my recovery from the downgraded ROM and still access CWM?
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
It will keep the recovery if it lets you flash, you can try to see if it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Anyways has anyone tried the suggestions from this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974789. Some people said it works.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Lex_407:
There is a fix for that now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] budco2000:
I flashed this last night after using CoreDroid for over a week. I love that ROM, He did a damn good job on that, however I was having GPS issues. It would hit 8 satellites in 10 seconds, but literally take 10 minutes to actually lock.I flashed 3 different radio's with a couple different kernels and then when I would solve the GPS problem, my mobile data would be very slow. (Gave me captivate flashbacks argh lol) After flashing this ROM I'm getting 4mbps down / 2mbps up on mobile, and 13mbps down and 5mbps up on my home FIOS Wi-fi. The GPS locked so fast that my GPS status APP wasn't finished loading yet and already had a 7 satellite lock in like 5 seconds lol, I miss overclocking but oh well. there is a free app that allows wireless tethering and bluetooth tethering. Its called "wireless tether" To test it out I turned on wireless wi-fi tether, unplugged the ethernet cable from my playstation 3, and connected to my phones wi-fi and streamed a HD netflix movie and not one single problem, Worked flawless for only having 2 bars for signal.

Edit: CMW was still working when I flashed this stock rom, and still works without a hitch, I read a lot of people were having problems
[HTC Inspire 4G] angelchen1111:
Can anyone having problem with CWM confirm if this solution work for them?
[HTC Inspire 4G] zswielder:
Speaker volume boost?

Hi,

I am one of those people that want to stick with stock ROM rather than using Desire ROMs.

Right now, I'm on the ROM I got from gtg's thread. He gave you the credit, and as far as I can tell both ROMs are pretty much identical.

With that said, I am truly hoping that you could throw in another twist to this ROM. Is there any way you can tweak the Speaker volume output? Many people, including myself, are unhappy with the speaker volume of Inspire 4G.

So, I've been on Android for awhile, but I'm just getting started in playing with ROMs. Is there any particular reason this modified RUU can't be re-packaged into a standard ROM like the "Inspired DHD" Rom? It would be nice to select it with ROM Manger or CMW.

I asked this in the general section, but I figure I should ask it here too since this is the ROM I've been trying to use. Has anyone else using this ROM had problems making and receiving phone calls? My phone has service, data and text work just fine, but sometimes the phone won't make calls and when it won't it cannot receive them either. It doesn't show any signs of when it will happen either. I'll try to make a call and all of a sudden it just disconnects. If anyone knows why this is happening, and what I can do about it, please let me know!!!
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
I haven't had any problems with this ROM. SU FC's whenever I try to run it though, which annoys me. But no, no calling problems whatsoever. Did you by chance flash a different radio?

Edit: I fixed the FC'ing problem on Superuser by running "Fix Permissions" in the ROM Manager. By the way, I have no problem with Clockwork 3.0.0.6.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sliderocket22:
Nope, just the stock AT&T Radio that came on the ROM. I'm using Android Revolution 3.0 now, and I'm not having those problems. I want to use the stock AT&T ROM, but I can't figure out what on earth is going on!
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapdaddy:
How's Android Revolution 3.0 working for you? Calling, GPS, Wi-Fi, HSUPA all working as advertised? I'm not one of the dev geniuses around here, so I'm hoping someone with more knowledge can step in and help you out. The radio being bad is as far as my knowledge goes haha. Maybe there could have been a problem when you downgraded and rooted, I don't know.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sliderocket22:
AR 3 is great, it's smooth and I haven't had a single issue. The GPS is somewhat slow, but I don't use it much so it isn't a big deal. I think today I'm going to tinker with my phone and go back to S-ON then start all over and see if I messed up somewhere along the way. I'm no android genius, but I can do a bit of coding and follow directions lol.

:/ SU is giving me issues again - it FCs at random now when I try to open it. Maybe if I can somehow update it either through ROM Manager or the market it could help?? Anyone try this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Agreed as to GPS improvement, after I flashed this ROM on top of inspired DHD. Almost immediate position lock. I could not get WiFi Tether working right, so I installed Barnacle Tether (from szym.net/barnacle) and that handles tethering quite nicely.
