Hi folks.
I have a build of Forever for radio 2.15.00.11.19; it worked on my phone. So, for the adventurous amongst you who don't want to wait for the new unrevoked release (coming soon, I swear; we now all finally have a moment to breathe, so we're getting moving on this one), but are somehow stuck on the new radio, I have a new build for you -- get it at the usual place.
Have fun!

Really looking forward to this release. Have a refurb coming in this tuesday and I'm hoping I won't need to use this, but glad its here if I do.

Fantastic, thank you

Quick question Joshua, Quite a while ago I Rooted my EVO with UnRevoked 3.21 and have S-Off and all is well. Back at that time should I have also flashed UnRevoked Forever, or does 3.21 also cover that?
Thanks.

Same question here, I only ran 3.21 and it put me in S-OFF. I've even flashed a couple of RUU's in the past and re-rooted, and the phone never went back to S-ON.

I had eng hboot with soff, but applied the new soff successfully to the radio after updating to the 2.15.00.11.19 radio.

This works flawlessly
Just wanted to let everyone know how I achieved full root with the newest OTA.
1) download newest S-OFF Patch that works with new radio while still rooted on older SW version. Install S-OFF.zip through recovery.
2) Use 3.29 ruu to restore phone back to stock, s-off will still be on. Download OTA update directly to phone after you finish initial setup.
3) Install downloaded OTA immediately. Let it do its thing. Once you reboot, place clockwork recovery (Amon-RA probably works too but I haven't tried it yet) on the root of your sdcard and make sure it is named pc36img.zip.
4) power off phone, hold volume down and power... phone will turn on and ask if you want to apply update , press volume up for yes.
5) you now have root and nand unlock with all the newest radio versions and a custom recovery to flash zips as you wish. I installed a stock de-odexed version of the newest OTA already as I wait for devs to release custom ROMS based on 3.70...
Have fun!!
Everything I used was downloaded right from here.

Thanks. The Unrevoked site now shows support for 11.19.

If the phone says S-OFF, and it DOESN'T say "ENG" at the top, then you don't need to run Forever; you're already S-OFF. (It was included in all unrevoked releases since, I think, 3.2.)

Josh I have original eng boot with s-off and I flashed unrevoked forever just in case I decided to upgrade the hboot later . My hboot still shows eng s-off and flash said it was successful. Should I see still see eng in my hboot?

If you flashed Forever, it will still say ENG; there isn't an easy way to tell if it's a hard-S-OFF or soft-S-OFF if you have the ENG loader. But yes, if you flashed Forever, you are now hard-S-OFF, and it's OK if it still says ENG -- you just have to remember that you did flash Forever!

Cool, yeah it put a log on my SD card that said successful. Figured I would forever flash as some people lost s-off updating hboot.

Will this help downgrade HBoot for those that had Unrevoked Forever and upgraded HBoot to 2.10? or is the Hboot still locked!?

Okay, so u lashed zip and got s-off... Place pc36img.zip onto root of sdcard and then powered off the phone... The you hold down power and volume down button at same time... Hboot should pop up and search for pc36img.zip automatically... It should find it and then ask if you want to proceed to update... Then you press volume up key and it will update.... Boot phone regularly, attach to computer.... Remove pc36img.zip from root of sd card... Shut phone down.... Hold down power and volume down at same time. Hboot will pop up again and look for pc36img.zip / since u removed it it will find nothing press volume down until recovery... when recovery is highlighted press power button.. you will be in recovery.... Just make sure you get the pc36img.zip file from unrevoked site... I downloaded the one for clockwork as I have never had a problem with it.

Got a question. I rooted using the original method from reginaw when 2.2 first got rooted using the long adb method. I also flashed unrevoked forever and the eng.76 boot loader. Since I just recently flashed the new radio but I'm still showing s-off, do I need to reflash unrevoked forever? Thanks for any help u can give.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Is there any benefit of the newest Hboot? I originally rooted my phone back in Sept with unrevoked 3.21. It had hboot .92 i believe, but then i flashed the eng .76 bootloader. Everything has been great. But recently I flashed caulkulin's all in one PRI, PRL, WIMAX, and RADIO. My phone has been booting, but I noticed it stays on the flash screen for a good amount of time, sometimes it will even hang up on the flash screen and I have to do a battery pull. Would it benefit me to flash the latest s-off, update OTA to 3.70 and follow the rest of the directions? Thanks for any help you can spare.

[TOOL][Updated 21-AUG-2011]Inspire Factory Reset/S-ON tool. GB and FR versions.

I'm working on a single-package solution for S-ON full factory reset. It's a PD98IMG type package that, in addition to the program itself, contains the complete factory stock 1.80.502.3 RUU. It runs in three phases:
Overview:
Installs itself as a PD98IMG type package (it contains a stripped down CM6 OS with a single app--the app that does the restoration, the correct radio/kernel combo for gfree exploit, and a data partition containing the RUU); Simply copy the file to the SD card (with an adapter if you can't do it through the phone), rename it to exactly "PD98IMG.zip", then boot into HBOOT (disconnect USB if connected, pull and put back battery, then hold VOL-DOWN and momentarily press POWER).
Boots and runs the restoration program as the only app in the OS, prompting the user at each step to make sure all goes well. The last step copies the RUU from the data partition to the SD card, thereby replacing the PD98IMG.zip that installed everything with the RUU, then reboots to HBOOT for the final phase.
The final phase is loading and running the RUU on the newly restored (S-ON) device to return it to full factory status. The RUU copied in phase 2 is a genuine HTC stock 1.80.502.3 restoration RUU. Allow it to unzip and self-check, then press VOL-UP to write it to the device.
Once completed successfully, you should be in the same condition as an out-of-box new phone.
If you do have to send your phone back for warranty or insurance purposes, it should be a lot easier than the currently available methods.
Important! The newest batch of Inspires shipped from HTC (probably anything bought new after Aug. 2011) have hardware that is incompatible with the hboot in the Froyo update as listed here. If your Inspire is a later model Inspire, do not run the Froyo version on it. Use the Gingerbread version only!
Instructions:
Do a nandroid and/or Titanium backup! It never hurts!
While still in ClockWorkMod recovery, do a "Factory Reset/Wipe Data". This is necessary if you've got an ext4 cache or CM7 dalvik-cache on /cache. If not it will cause boot hang after installation. EXT4 cache will not work with this tool. If your recovery has ext4, be sure you format the cache to EXT3.
Download from the URL below, copy to the SD card and rename to "PD98IMG.zip"
Reboot to HBOOT: Shutdown completely (disconnect USB if connected and pull battery if necessary) then while holding down the VOL-DOWN key, press the POWER key for about half a second. The phone should boot into HBOOT, check the PD98IMG.zip for consistency, then prompt you to install. Select VOL-UP to install.
Once installed, HBOOT will prompt you to reboot by pressing the POWER button. Do this.
The operating system in this tool is a stripped down CM6 install with only the minimum features necessary to run an apk. The apk for the tool will run after the HTC splash screen, then prompt you through the process. Depending on the speed of your SD card, the last step, copying the RUU to the SD card, may take several minutes.
Once successfully completed, the phone will automatically reboot to HBOOT and begin the process of installing the RUU. The only thing you have to do at this point is acknowledge the prompt to install by pressing VOL-UP. (Note: the RUU install may skip a couple of images during the install but this is normal.)
Once the RUU is installed, press POWER to reboot and your phone should be in 100% factory out-of-box condition.
Changelog:
13-SEP-2011 -- Added emphasis to step 2 to drive home the fact that this will not work if you have an EXT4 cache partition.
21-AUG-2011 -- 1.07: Removed "beta" designation. Added both Gingerbread (2.3.3) and Froyo (2.2.2) versions since 2.3.3 is now officially released for Inspire. Cleaned up the launcher a bit, fixed some typos and scrolling issues.
11-AUG-2011 -- 1.06b: Reverted to a PD98IMG that does NOT erase the cache. This was causing boot hangs. There is now a new step 2 in the instructions. Be sure to clear your data/cache.
10-AUG-2011 -- 1.05b: Fixed black screen for some Inspires with different mfg. LCD panels. Added cache wipe to main image as a dirty cache partition could cause bootloops in some situations. Disabled screen timeout so screen doesn't blank out while copying RUU.

I'm actually wanting to flash my phone back to an "out of the box" state, I'm downloading the .zip now, I'll post the results in a few. If this works, you will have made me a happy man!
I'm going to get the Motorola Atrix (I hope it's actually better...)
*EDIT* so I need to have S-ON BEFORE running this package?
I downloaded the above, renamed it, booted to HBOOT, ran the update however I still have S-OFF. Boots to a black screen... (Brick??)

if you have s-on, you probably never rooted in the first place so what are you looking to "restore"?

No HTC splash screen? It should boot into a minimal android system. Try pulling the battery and power on.

ill test for ya..
downloading now. i have to get my phone to stock to show my friend how easy is is to root and use custom roms. hope this works...

The atrix sucked for me I sold my first inspire and got one it just sucked it might be good in the winter for a hand warmer it gets smoking hot so if you get one good luck

Great tool, downloading

works
It worked as it should. S-on and back to stock, very easily. great work.

Nice job, GenePoole. This was well thought out and executed.

is there a specific place to put the PD98IMG or is anywhere fine?

This didn't work for me. I wanted to try out the new Gingerbread release from AT&T and when I run through this process, I'm stuck at a black screen after step 4. I tried twice just to make sure I didn't screw something up. Black screen, both times.

thanks
so i haven't tried this method yet, im wondering if i return my inspire to get a new replacement inspire, will it be as easy to root my new inspire as it was a couple months ago, the reason i ask is because anyone with a rooted evo 4g better take good care of it because if they send it in to get a new one they will be stuck with stock, the new evo 4g is unrootable lol, sucks for them, any ways i just dont want a stock inspire that cant be rooted, thanks for this tool mate, i will surely use it once i know i can root my replacement inspire

This worked perfect and checked for update and told me I can download gb right away. Thanks and keep up the good work.

The RUU has the default splash screen (white with green "HTC") so I would assume that if you have a custom screen, it will overwrite it, but I have no first hand information. I'll try installing a custom splash on mine and see what happens.

[Q] Can't ROOT anymore - Permission Error

I have an Inspire 4G which I've rooted before using the ace-hack v11a method. I subsequently unrooted the device and went back to stock. I now have a desire to root again. I received my goldcard image, but when I run option 2, I receive an error with dev/block/​mmcblk1 protected Can't write to MBR, etc., etc.
I can get into the white option bootloader screen on rebooting the unit and performed a factory reset. I've also formatted my SD Card FAT-32. I've tried two different USB cables and I know I can root this device because I've rooted it in the past. I just can't get past the write permission errors to perform option #2 or #3 on the ace-hack file. Virus protections were off. It definitely can perform ADB functions because it did reboot the device on its own.
Any other suggestions?

Are you still s-off? If so...download this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965634), rename it PD98IMG.zip, boot to bootloader and let it install. This is angelchen's stock/rooted ROM. Once it installs, install ROM Manager and flash CWM Recovery. Now you can download/flash the ROM of your choice

No, I don't think I'm S-OFF. When I unrooted it pretty much took me back to stock as if the phone had never been rooted. I may have misspoke when I said I boot into bootloader. I basically boot into a white screen with four options such as fastboot, recovery, factory reset and simlock. It states eMMC-boot at the top. Recovery does nothing. It comes up with a sync like icon, but then I get the phone with the red icon thing and it reboots.

This is stock Hboot, but you could still be s-off after unrooting. At the top does it say "ACE PVT SHIP S-OFF" or "ACE PVT SHIP S-ON"?
If you're S-On, try an alternative root method. CyanogenMod has a method (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC_Ace) so does user JSLEnterprises (http://driphter.com/index.php?topic=3867.0)
It sounds like you're using an older version of attn1's hack kit. The newest working version is, I'm sorry, was, only 1 step. Older versions may no longer work with newer firmware

It's definitely S-ON. Thanks for the reply. I'll try one of those alternative methods tonight. Thanks for the links though.

No problem and good luck

Thanks for your help yesterday. I ended up using the Advanced ACE Hack Kit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352) and it rooted perfectly. For those who receive an error similar to mine, don't believe those who say it's your SD Card or drivers, etc. It's probably that you're using an old version of the rooting software then your phone can support.

Plea for help..

I know I was down this road before.
I upgraded my 4G to ICS one of the first ones...
Then using One-X toolKit successfully installed CWM and root the thingy...
Silly me.. Started Fooking with perfectly fine phone..... and screwed it up to the point that I lost Sense, contacts, music... Otherwise it booted and worked...
Now started at point 0 again. D/loaded GB RUU, flashed it with no probs...
Looked for T-mo ICS update, found it and installed. NOW....... Dummy me, can't install CWM.... Can't root. All my effort end up at white HTC screen with no response at all, until I pull the battery out and then restart it. Restarts fine, everything works, but with no root cannot use Titanium and do have some apps to install.
Please, if someone had the same situation would you give me some pointers....
Getting to the point to go insane..... Thanks!!

Did you s-off or are you s-off? To check take the battery out of your phone put it back in and hold down the power plus the volume down rocker. If it says S-off then just follow this guide if not you see what hboot you are on, assuming its 1.2x then follow this guide if its 1.18 then just use this

Thanks for the reply.
After 10 hour fighting with that thing, finally got it done...
Still have no idea of what happened but, what I've done last, I didn't let it to reboot... Clicked BOOT TO RECOVERY right away.. It might of done the trick and allow me toboot to CWM and install the Superuser..... Now everything is fine..
Thanks, all!!!!

TC Inspire 4g Unbricking Guide
In this guide I will be showing you how to unbrick the HTC Inspire 4g for AT&T.
Requirements:
1. Your bricked phone (of-course)
2. HTC-Sync
3. USB Cable
4. HTC Inspire 4g Gingerbread RUU
5. S-ON
Steps:
1. Download HTC-Sync from: http://dl3.htc.com/application/HTCSyncv3.0.5579.exe
2. Download HTC Inspire Gingerbread RUU from: http://dl4.htc.com/RUU_Ace_Gingerbr...60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
3. Install HTC-Sync
4. Boot into Bootloader mode and plug your phone into your pc
5. Run the RUU executable
6. It will take a moment to start, but when it does, go through the steps and it should start to flash the firmware
7. (Optional) Sometimes the process will freeze. It is ok though, open task manager, close the process, unplug your phone, pull the battery, and start over the process until you get it to work. (It worked first time for me.)
Then your phone should restart after it finishes flashing. Then your phone will be unbricked!
Thank you for looking and I hope this helps you in some way!

flashing the rom is the problem. it wouldnt let me into the recovery. the steps above actually help. now i just need to root the thing

I notice the bootlaoder step is vague. It needs to be in fastboot. So select fastboot from hboot so that you see fastboot USB on screen then run ruu.

Your sdcard is corrupted and won't work as a goldcard. Get a NEW one or one that has not been improper dismounted. By the way, if you phone were bricked then you would have nothing to do. You just got stuck.
Get the new sdcard and then flash the PD98IMG.zip file that the Hack Kit downloaded (it is in the PD98IMG folder and it is usually called PD98IMG-GBx.zip, being x a number. Of course make sure that you rename it PD98IMG.zip once in the sdcard).
Then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. After that, you will be downgraded, just re run the hack kit and you will be ready to go. SALUD!

Then boot in hboot and wait to be prompted to update. After that, you will be downgraded, just re run the hack kit and you will be ready to go. SALUD!

I suspect that I have issues with my sd card. Can these issues with corruption be corrected?

Not with the same card, as far as I know. You need to get a new one. The card tends to get corrupted when it's improperly unmounted.

Bricked?
Recently tried to return to stock RUU via ace advanced hack kit. During the return to stock there was an error and my phone attempted to reboot. I currently can't get past the htc boot up screen. It powers on, shows htc screen, then fades to black. Attempted to hold power and vol button with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions how to bypass this? Can't get my pc to recognize my device so not really sure if I can push a new rom to it or not.
Thanks,
Ryan

What do you mean by "no luck?" What happens exactly when you hold power and volume-down?

The screen stays backlit but will not progress past that point. No recovery no anything.

What was the AAHK error? Which RUU? Was AAHK up to date? Were you S-OFF? ADB doesn't detect your device?

Radio downgrade failed. I attempted to use the froyo shipped ruu and was then going to upgrade from there. Yes I was S-Off and no can't get anything to recognize my device.

I have a hunch that you may have messed your bootloader. Wait for tomorrow and hope glevitan shows up to verify/denounce my hunch and help you out.

Didn't he update the guide to reflect how to fix that issue? Not sure, can't remember.... too sleepy to check. :screwy:

Have you tried pulling the battery out for a few seconds then hold volume down and press power. Don't let go of volume down until you see hboot screen.

You can flash this PD98IMG. It will take a long time to react to stuff though so you will have to be patient. It's the inspire gingerbread hboot.
PD98IMG
After that use this PD98IMG to install the gingerbread Rom. You will still be s off but on 2.47.502.7.

Well, you failed to read and follow the manual and besides you even flashed a froyo Ruu when you are told not to so?
conclusion: messed bootloader. You will have to fix it yourself. I decided not to help lazy people anymore. What first happened to you was Normal and detailed in the effen manual. If you had read it you would be enjoying your phone now.
