I just want to root and enable non market apps. That would be fine with me. Id also like the speeds to be fixed, but thats ok if they are not.
I tried this gold card tool, but it doesnt work. And im not going with the crazy version in the video. I dont care for all that stuff. Just want to root and install non market apps without having to need a pc to sideload. If i download an apk on the phone, i want to install it like a human
As far as i can tell, gold cards are for sim unlocking .... i dont need all that extra stuff
frustrated with this phone, but im still going to buy another one to replace the one i just got and gave to the wife.
I'm in the same boat. Just want to root and be able to install non market apps. I wish we don't had to downgrade. I heard people having issues with sound and WiFi. I already exchanged one inspire and would hate to have to exchange another one.

I know it doesn't sound pretty in the beginning but now that the HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click tool is out you can get sideloading, remove the bloatware, and fix your UDPA in one fell swoop. (2 swoops really but it works and doesn't take all day to figure it out
You will need to make a gold card. It's all part of the same hack. I used the ace hack kit after i was rooted I just flashed the att1 stock rooted rom. It has everything you want on a stock rom.
I believe the one click method has a easy gold card maker.
Q: Do I need a goldcard for this?
A: Yes. This still downgrades your rom to achieve S-OFF.
Put the gold card in before starting the one click.
There lies part of the problem.

go to the unlockr.com and search make gold card. There video makes it really easy to follow. This method works. I used it for two inspires.
Don't be afraid and take a shot at it. If you follow the direction carefully, it's very easy. There is also a video tutorial (there may be some very slight differences, but it is still helpful when you have trouble with text directions. If you can see it done on video, you'll understand the next step better).
Here's the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCcd1XQrTzE
Once i create a goldcard, do i need to keep that as my sd card? From what i am gathering, its jst needs to be in there for downgrading. Once it all hacked with the whole rom thing and all that, can the gold card be wipped?
Im not affraid, i just would like the simple root and stuff just like i said in the op

Nope. I'm used the 8gb that came with the inspire. I then put my 32gb one in. Works great. I would make a back up on the card in rom manager.

Good to hear.
I'm looking to root my inspire for 2 simple reasons. To be able to uninstall the bloatware and have access to the amazon app store. As far as I can tell bubby's 1 click root seems to be the easiest method so far.
I just have a few questions on what to do after or if I'm successful in gaining root.
I'm planning on sticking with the stock rom and not doing anything extra then what bubby's instructions say. (using his rc2)
The gold card....Can I still use it as a SD card in my phone? Do I have to format the card again to restore my backed up files on it or can I just simply add them to the card? Or do I have to get a new SD card?
I've already gotten the OTA update that was released a couple days ago...will the stock rom have HSUPA enabled? Can I still use the OTA update to install updates as they come out or will I have search online for custom updates and install them manually?
Lastly...will I run in to any other problems or glitches? Sound working? Increase/decrease in battery life? Increase/decrease in speed? Baseically will all the apps and functions of my phone still work as well as they did before root?
I feel like I have searched everywhere for answers to these questions but no luck....So any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am new to this too, but I did run across the answer to your SD Card question. Yes, you can use it again as normal without formatting it. At least that is SOME answer to get you started...lol :0)

It should but AT&T's definition of HSUPA varies from device to device and region to region. You may get OTA updates, but keep in mind the update may clear your ability to sideload apps and may clear the root access once applied. So yes it might be better to search for custom updates

In regards to the goldcard...
You may want to consider holding on to it for future possible use (in case you somehow need to root another inspire, you won't have to make another one).
Either buy a 4gb for the goldcard if you want to use the 8gb that came with the phone, or take the opportunity to get a bigger one for daily use in your phone, and use that 8gb for the goldcard.
In regards to OTA updates...
The one on your phone will be lost in the rooting process. After its done, though, you can reflash the same thing back onto your phone... The same Rom is available over in the dev section. Future OTA updates will have to be manually updated by way of this forum. Fear not, they'll be here.
In regards to glitches...
You'll only be left with no sound if you don't finish the process fully. In order to gain root, a temporary downgraded Rom (that has no sound) has to be flashed first. Then, the functioning stock Rom is flashed back on.
People complain they "lost sound after rooting" because they don't follow the process through to completion... Putting a working Rom back on.

I have made myself an expert with this stuff LOL...rooted my HTC last week with the simple one click one.......Number 1 is don't change your ROM at all...at least don't go to CM7....you will have major problems with it...........GPS will not work, trust me.
Also, if you change your radio, your also screwed because your UP and DOWNLOAD will be messed up and your GPS won't work as well...i myself am tyring to find a root solution that won't touch my radio.....only push an exploit that will give me unknown sources to be installed and for WIFI tether...that's it for me.
Now I'm curious.

Are you seriously advising others to not change their Rom or radio because YOU had a bad experience?
Or suggesting that because something didn't work right for you that it will not work for someone else?

The problem is to get s-off you have to downgrade the Rom/radio . I am still not rooted I have made my gold card just not sure what Rom/ radio to use . I got the inspire on Monday and am still trying it out not liking the battery life at all or the hissing in the call audio .

Your waiting to root so you can try out the phone first is a good idea, however, those things you aren't liking so far are actually improved with many custom roms.

I am purchasing a second Inspire. Can I use the goldcard from my first one to root the second or do I need to use the sdcard that came with the second phone? I have seen answers on here that said probably this or that. Do you know with certainty that I can or cannot use the same card?
Thanks
You need to do the step again.
You can use the same card, but you need to re-create the goldcard in the second phone.

Well the gold card write is built into the process, so just keep goldcard.img in the gcimg directory and you can start at setup-downgrade on the next phone. Even if it's not there, the write step would probably just toss an error without writing and continue on - so yes, you can.

Yup you absolutely can. Ive used the same goldcard for the two inspires I've had and someone else's.
Once a gold-card, always a gold-card, unless you wipe out the boot sector (like a Win/DOS format does).

Trust me, It's a pain to create a gold card when it just doesn't work the first time. It's probably because I use Mac, but I had to try at least 3 times!
Coming back to the topic, from personal experience, yes you can.
Hey, guys, I feel very inadequate in here so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to Skype with me on how to root, flash, etc. on my phone. I ask for Skype because I truly know next to nothing in regards to this process. I vaguely understand what rooting does but I have never done any of it.
I have been patient with my g2x and am still on my original one(hoping that LG or TMO would do what was right by it's customers) but after the recent news that they "might" start doing internal testing after having pulled our legs with this whole "by summer" nonsense, I have decided to try to correct their mistakes for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Yep, you've totally scared yourself. Don't worry, I did it with my G1. Read, read, read. Then use the one click great app to root your phone then use TGA's thread to put CWM recovery on it.
If you're gonna do this stuff you gotta trust that you know what you're doing (unless there's something you really don't understand). Else you'll never do it.
And I don't think I've seen a thread about a really bricked phone. So relax and use the source young Skywalker.

Easy, download AmonRA recovery and follow youtube video directions. pretty much, download amonra, put on sd card, insert sd card, Power down, then press powerbutton+volume down, brings you to hboot menu....then you look for hboot usb, press volume down, then youre rooted.
First 2 times in rootet, i did it with this htc legend, took a few hours and yet didn't work, but afterwards in went to theunlocker guide and piece of cake it was, i even have to tell im running @ 806 mhz stable, even if found the biggest stable clock on legend to 768 mhz good luck

I used it to root. His program runs you through everything, including the gold card stuff. Once you're finished, just flash whatever you want.
kk, well i just downloaded it just to see if my antivirus would quarantine rage like people said it would (i use avast internet security), but i checked the virus chest and all it has in it is some stuff from awhile back. Does this mean rage didnt get quarantined, or did avast just not even let me see the rage quarantine?

Wait, you have the AT&T (Cingular 2.47.502.7) GB ROM Installed as-is stock on a non-rooted Inspire? If so, then currently no rooting methods will work for you. You'll need to do it by hand with fre3vo instead of rage or psneuter.
ah kk, thank you. From what i have read Fr3vo is only a temp root, is that true? cause im going for full root so i can get a kingdom rom (it seems the fastest from what ive seen, and it has sense 3.0, which is a + for me)
