Hi,
Are there any roms that are only rooted without all those wonderful add on? I just want something plain, simple and rooted.
Thx,
Have you looked at the wiki?.. there some are listed.. probably the HoFo rom is the closest to stock with root.
Or Smartphone france (horribly buggy in 2.3, be sure to get the latest...)

Thanks for your reply, Yes i did and i read the whole wiki and guide. I tried HoFo ROM and it froze . I think daldroid's ROM is the closest to stock, but I cannot try it cuz mega upload is block in my area.

Fast and brief.
I want to buy a new, unlocked, HTC Inspire 4G.
I'm a noob, and don't know anything about rooting, Android, or whathaveyou, but am keen to learn and am not an idiot.
Should i buy a phone that's already rooted running on Inspired Ace or just buy a stock phone and root it myself and flash a custom ROM of my choosing?
In other words, can i, being a noob, handle rooting an Inspire and flasing a ROM all by my lonesome? What's the LATEST and BEST guide on rooting and everything else you need to get it working? I've seen a lot of literature with (outdated) near it and it's kind of annoying.
Another even stupider question. Since the phone is already rooted, i can, if i want to, flash another custom ROM if i don't like Inspired Ace without seriously f-ing it up, right?
welcome to my world as of last week. This week, I've learned that rooting is easy on the Inspire 4G. You just have to get the hack kit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352 And I'm gonna quote attn1: READ THE EFFEN MANUAL. I cannot stress that enough.
Once you've done all of this, you'll have a rooted Inspire 4G, but it will be on the Desire HD radio/ROM, and you'll need to flash an Inspire 4G radio, so you can have a solid base.
Go by http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042 to get a rooted Inspire 4G radio/Rom base with the latest HTC update. Then make sure you download ROM Manager, and from there you can backup your rom, and try out custom ROMs.
If you wanna watch how I did it, go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14618851#post14618851.
Get rooted in something Inspiring!

1 IMHO, I'd get a new one so you have a clean, fresh slate to work with. You don't ever truly know how the previous owner used the device(excessive OC level on a regular basis...)
2 Yes, it's very simple. I feel it's best to get your contacts imported from the sim then sync w/Google but nothing more. This way you don't have to reconfigure your phone after rooting.
3 The Ace Hack Kit from att1 is the easiest and best way. Any other method is based on his work. All the info you need is in the first post. If you have an issue, search the thread. If a concise answer cannot be found, search the forum. If still no answer, post your question in that thread, then be patient and wait for a reply. If no one can answer, at the very bottom of the first post, att1 has a link to an IRC chat channel for helping w/ issues, try there.
4 Yes. The number one rule for flashing is ALWAYS make a nandroid(basically an exact image before any changes have been made) before doing anything. This is your safety net and gives you something to fall back on should there be an issue post flash.

okay, so buy a new one. Check. Root using kit and read manual. Check. After i root, which comes first? A new radio or a new rom, or what order do you use? Can you recommend as advanced users, the most stable custom rom and radio for the inspire? This is where i usually get confused. What to do after rooting, in what order.

After you root, your phone will say "HTC Desire HD" in phone information. before you install a custom ROM, install this: http://droid.neolobster.com/roms/Ace_Cingular_US_SL_1.84.502.11_Radio_26_06_06_30_M_PD98IMG.zip (from thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042) . This is both a ROM and a radio, and it will give you the most up to date stock rom for the Inspire 4G (not Desire HD), but still rooted with sideloading allowed. From there, download two apps: titanium backup (to backup apps), and most importantly, ROM Manager. ROM manager has links to download many different ROMS, but before it prompts installing them, it also gives you the option of backing up your current ROM and wiping data cache, and then loading the new ROM. The link I gave u will be your base ROM.
The most popular custom ROM tends to be CyanogenMod7. I've tried that, CoreDroid 6.6, and most recently, TB Fusion 1.1.8.3. If you like HTC Sense, go with the latter two, or other Sense ROMs. If you don't like Sense or don't care about Sense, go with something like CM7.
Always remember something here: Desire HD and Inspire 4G are largely the same phone, save a few things. Most custom ROMS are optimized for the HD, but hopefully that will change soon.
Okay. Thanks. So root, install base radio and ROM, then install backup and ROM manager and then install custom ROM.
I see that the custom ROM is Cingular_US. I live in Romania and will be using the phone in Orange Romania. That's not a problem, right?

No it wont be a problem. One note though. I don't know if you already knew this when you bought/buy the phone but the inspire uses north American bands for 3g(850/1900) you will not be able to use your 3g service as it runs on 2100. If 3g service is important and haven't bought the phone I would suggest you get the desire HD as it runs (900/2100) for 3g

[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?
Hey guys, first of all I must say that is not English, I speak Spanish so if I say something wrong I hope to understand.
I turn to you for that, I buy a Refurbished Atrix 2 Released to Amazon, is AT & T My question is: I can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China)? I would like to tell me if I can do and if there is a tutorial to install.
Thank you for your attention!

you can't install the leaks.
There are multiple roms you can install in the development section.
read the noob guide that is sticky for some basic info, then the rom threads for installation instructions

You can install and run custom roms, but there's some things you need to read and understand beforehand. Please read THIS THREAD and you will see that there are several things you must first do, in order to be running custom roms on your device. First, you will need to make sure you are running on Android 2.3.6. for many of the roms in the ATRIX 2 Android Development section, then you will need to attain root, install the custom CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery, then you will be able to flash whichever rom you so choose.
However, you need to understand that there are international firmware differences relating to the different ATRIX 2 models and their specific regional firmware(s), and roms that are based off these international firmwares may not work on your device! You need to know which device you have, and for which device the rom you are wanting to install is specified to run on. You may brick your phone if you try to install a rom that ins't designed to run on your device! (You have been warned) The leaked ICS updates will NOT work on an ATT.en.US system version!
Well, I do not think I will risk that many steps and I am a newbie.
But still thank you very much for clearing the doubt! Waiting For the ICS official.

It's really not all that difficult. You just have to have a clear understanding of what you are doing -BEFORE doing anything! It's useful knowledge, especially if you are interested in customizing your device beyond what Motorubbish has in its stock rom...
I like your clarity mate, at least you dont wanna mess with your device until you learn. Appreciate that

And if I install the ROM and I want to return time after the original ROM from AT & T?
I can do?

Yes, after rooting, installing the custom recovery (CWM), and flashing a rom, you can always FXZ back to stock 2.3.5. and the OTA (over-the-air) update to 2.3.6. which will return your device to the fully stock Moto rom.
Hey Guys,
I wanted to ask a quick question. I am currently running LeeDroid's rom and I am done with it. I want to go back to what comes with original rom with ATT. I have HTC Inspire any recommendations where I can get it? I tried searching the forum but all the stuff seems from the begining of the year. I am not sure if there is something more recent. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks

If I understand you correctly, you could just use the Ace Advanced Hack Kit (you're gonna have to Google for it, the developer pulled his work from XDA and thus it would not be proper to link to it) to unroot and flash back to the stock ROM, then use the Software Update to update to the latest version. Alternatively, Gizmoe has taken the latest stock ROM update and rooted it. You could always flash that and keep root, if you wish.
It was the first ROM on the I4G's developement page. Jeez peeps, search for it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1810461
It's not pure stock, bloatware is gone, there's some tweaks, and you retain root.
If you want to lose root (not sure why anyone would), you can download the update package from HTC. You'll probably lose everything you have , but you'll be on 100% pure stock.
Installing OTA update if you're rooted doesn't work
tried it, update does not launch, but again, why would you

Hey guys. Sorry if this has already been addressed somewhere around here, but I have a pretty specific question that I'd like answered. I recently rooted my TF300T and installed the latest TWRP recovery. I've flashed a couple of different stock-based roms (Energy and CleanROM) without any hiccups, but when I try to flash any roms that are 4.2.2 I get bootloops. Is there something that I need to be doing different since I'm coming from 4.2.1? I never dirty flash. Thanks in advance for any help!

Maybe a bit confusing but those particular 4.2.2 ROMs use the 4.1 bootloader and won't run if you have upgraded to 4.2.1 because of the new bootloader. That's the reason that I won't be upgrading anytime soon.
Yeah, it's for 10.4 bootloader. You hace luck that you haven't been bricked yet

Not confusing at all and perfectly answers my question! Not sure how I missed that, but I'm glad that my issue isn't just some big screw-up on my part. Hopefully they'll come up with some more ROMs based on the 4.2 bootloader soon! I finally took the plunge and rooted after debating on whether or not I wanted to for several months....got tired of the lag. Too bad I can't really take full advantage of having a custom ROM with an OC kernel as of yet. I gotta say though...I'm digging this Energy ROM. Sweet looks and pretty smooth as well.
I was looking at how-to's for flashing a custom ROM onto my new phone (which I rooted with TowelRoot), and it said you need ND8 firmware to flash an ND8 ROM. However, I can't find this anywhere. Can someone help me out? I'm looking to flash LiquidSmooth, eventually, not for any particular reason other than I don't really like the default and it was recommended to me.

Unless it's a typo, the Sprint Galaxy S5 does not have an ND8 version. Also, AFAIK, there isn't a LiquidSmooth rom for the Sprint S5 either. You posted over on MOAR, so I'm sure with a little more information on what you've done so far (and more reading on your part), we'll get you up and running.

Yeah, I realized after I posted this that I was still in Galaxy S3 mode and that it's probably different for S5. I've done as much reading as I could find, but it didn't really help me too much. A lot of terminology that I didn't understand.
