Looks pretty straightforward and simple. I downloaded the file but won't be able to try it until I get home from work later. Has anyone had success with this yet?

Ya know it wouldn't be bad to use this for the sim unlock, already aside for the s-off, it did take me less time with visionary also, like 2 mins this is taking like 5 and only to say, you can give any commands regardless but how do you know it wasn't pushed by adb or something? Need verify then profit, looks simple enough. And dev never posted step to step directions despite a video just briefly explaining
i mean what if someone was deaf or derp? you think they're going to understand the video?

I'll look at it. I've been trying to build a one click root for 3 weeks now, and im not sure if its actually possible with the tools we currently have available.
edit: Yeah, he got exactly where i did, only i decided it was pointless to release this. It just pushes the needed files and then you have to run everything as you normally would through the terminal emulator. makes pushing the files easier if you dont know what needs to go where, buts thats about it.
This is not a new way to root but a way for people that cant follow instructions very well way to root. This is using the methods found here in the forum allready like gfree but it has packaged everything together and he has written a script to execute some of the steps and to install things where they need to be. I am surprised that this hasn't been done sooner by someone. I am already rooted so I cant test it out, but I did look it over and it all looks great. I am curious to see the feedback. I didn't have a problem using the other methods and could do them just as easy as this is but I do have a little more experiance than alot of people that are trying to root their phone.

Yeah that where i ended up. I wasn't happy with it since you still needed to manually do everything in the term emulator, which is really the only tedious part of rooting. Everything else is simple. To use this you need to setup adb, but by itself is enough instruction to learn how to copy the needed files to the specified location. could still be helpful, and it definitely wont cause any more issues than the normal root procedure.
Working on the oneclick, i got to the point where i could root my phone in about 30 seconds longer than it takes to reboot twice, and this might take longer for me. lol.
this is for people who don't know how to read and follow simple instruction and IMHO, and i know some will share this opinion.
If you cannot read and follow SIMPLE instructions you shouldn't root your phone.

I'd lay down my phone in a bet that more Android phones have been truly bricked by ignorance more than anything else. I also wonder how many people that have thought they've "bricked" their phones really haven't but because they do not want to take the time to learn and and get out of the boot loop or a flash stuff via fastboot.

Actually he included the adb files in his zip so it sets it up so his script can do the file transfer.
I do completely agree though that if people just learned, read and searched a little bit more about Android and their phone, they would be alot better off and have less problems.
Still need drivers installed. could be a point of failure for people unwilling to do it on their own.

In your guide you say that a person may possibly return there phone to stock to get the Samsung updates for the GPS fix and Lag fix. How does one do this? I have not installed any other ROMS. I have only used the Pimp My Captivate Guide.

No. I said that if you use the lag fix or GPS fix you will probably have to use odin to go back to stock or else something will happen when you install the official OTA update.

Awesome job putting this together. I will definitely reference it (and donate) when I get my unit in.
One thing though, it appears that your link under the "how to root" section doesn't work. It tries redirecting but never resolves. You might want to check that out. It wouldn't pull up in FF, IE, or Chrome

ok sure. I will replace it later today. Also I may add some battery and performance optimization tips. The unlocking guide also needs to be updated with my new Mac unlock tool and the newer version of the PC one. Is there any guide that you would like me to specifically add?
I appreciate what you did with the previous guide. It helped me quite a bit in getting started with learning the ins and outs of the Android system and my Captivate.
I tried to install the super circle battery mod a few nights ago, and I made a terribly n00bish mistake in using the wrong build (not style) version for my phone, blanking the screen and making it unuseable. This necessitated a hunt on how to return the setting to stock, so this mandated a hunt for how to use Odin. And, of course, the forums were in maintenance mode when I was ROM hunting, making a stressful situation even more fun But it's back on, SuperRootered, and lag-fixed, and running better than ever before.
The wiki was a great idea, but the wiki was a pain to navigate...it was often just easier to search the forums. I'm probably going to blog on using Odin for flashing in the near future (if nothing else than for my own reference), but it'd be nice for some sort of introductory article on Nandroid and Titanium and how to use them as well. It'd be easier for me if the SDK would ever install on my machine, but I'll have to take time and dedicate a day to setting all this stuff up.
Pdf is fine, but there is no reason all the information can't be listed in the original post. thanks for the work though, the wiki helped me out when I got the phone.
I think it is a mistake to include sideload wonder machine as the only pc option for simplicity reasons, especially since you go into command line with the circle battery

Thanks again!
Figured out the captivate really fast and back to htc after a long time. Has root access been figured out yet? and if it has could someone point me in the direction?
I really am not being crappy with this comment so please dont take it that way but....
have you read the Dev threads yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
yeah I read it. I might wait until an easier way of rooting comes along. I've borked many an htc in the past and frankly I paid way too much for this beauty to wreck after one day.
Might be a month or so for the easier way, i did mine last night, not hard at all for me.
I don't have this phone yet, but just looking at the directions, it's not hard at all. Maybe just time consuming, if that.
I started doing it and going to take my time. I had to reinstall sdk because I formatted my laptop last night and started creating the gold card. ATT really keeps dropping the ball on these damn phones. When are they going to learn that the iphone is not king?
The only thing Im not sure of is the rom to get sound back. How is it as far as being like the original minus the bloat?
Is this a safe rooting and s-off method? are there any bugs reported?
Is there anyone in the Apple valley, hesperia, or victorville California area who can help me out by any chance? Get back to me please [email protected] thanks

Are there any youtube videos out there to help the people who came from the Captivate or Iphone on rooting the Inspire. I know some people will say the instructions are in the zip file in the hack kit. But there are people out there like me that learn better and fast from visuals then reading. If I can see how to do it, I will learn it faster and easier.

the key is:
after you root, when you restart hold volume down. that opened up a world of ROMS to me.
if I had not already rooted, I would write a step by step for you.
just watch the video.
also, back up your contacts and messages to something - google or mobilego or another program like titanium backup (pre-root) before you do anything. expect to reinstall apps. (amazon is great b/c it keeps track of what you install so you can do an easy reinstall)
hey guys I have a questions. I have my phone rooted using the Simple one Click method, so that that mean my Inspire is also unlocked, like if I put a different sim it would it work or not.
If you just bought the Inspire, you more than likely don't have anything on the phone yet that needs to be backed up other than contacts, which can easily be restored via HTC sync. Bubby's method will spoon-feed you through the entire process, as the tool will do all of the dirty work for you, including the making of your Gold Card. The hack kit is just a little more hands-on, but is just as easy to use. Read through the instructions for both methods, look at the FAQs, and take a look at the threads for each method. You'll see that almost every problem that was run into was solved just by going to the FAQs or by following a quick link from the thread. If terminology is intimidating you, the Devs always do a great job of explaining steps/procedures in layman's terms. The Inspire is a challenge to root because of the necessary ROM-downgrade so that the phone can become exploitable, but take your time with the procedure and you'll get it knocked out on no time. Good luck.

As someone who has just rooted and I am a noob on Android phones. just take your time and read up on the rooting process before you start.It does look intimidating at first,but if you can follow instructions,its really not that hard. The above methods is what I used and good luck.
The point is that it's a little bit of a leap of faith... you have to follow the steps as you go not knowing what the instruction itself is gonna do the most of the time... the language is indeed intimidating but let's face it... if they say 'boot in recovery mode pressing the power button while you hold volume down' you don't need an explanation of what recovery mode means.... you just press the buttons in the order.. eventually u will understand the rest...

Instead of just clicking the link, try right clicking the link and select 'open in new tab'. Theres been several links and downloads that have done that to me too and the opening in new tab seems to work.
Edit: Its working for me here at work (WinXP machine) but home machine (Win7) it will do that also, pop up a blank window and even have the security bar at the top and nothing happens after approving security. But if I open in new tab instead, works every time
This was my wifes POS Phone till I upgraded her to a SGSIII for Christmas. Now I have a device that would be perfect for my daughter if it weren't for the pesky phone option and Sprint bloatware. Are there any roms available that strip this phone to bare bones with no radios except WiFi? Haven't been able to find any and it might not be on the top of the Dev's todo list so if anyone is up to a ROM that will make this device at least usable because as a phone it SUCKS, but for a kiddo it would be a great toy with some of the game apps. Thanks in advance, and if I missed a ROM that does exactly what I'm asking in the mountains of pages in the Dev forum, please use only a small flame as I'm old and have a cold LOL.
A tip: when asking for help you might want to avoid talking trash about a device we users enjoy using.
My advice, 'the device sucks' and is a 'pos' so why bother doing anything with it. Go buy yourself, your kid or whoever an ipod and move on.
Lol why should we help you? One of the most stupid threads here

Uhh why not just turn mobile networks off n wifi on. And take the time to root your pos so u can delete the bloat.

Best investment I've made with android was this device.

Just hate HTC. Have since the TP2. No appologies for that when they make life just such a pain in the ass. Even cringed when the wife chose it but cest la vie. I'm not going against the boss. Maybe I'm just stupid but I've tried rooting but its a 2.3.4 and every option this thread gives me doesn't work for some reason or another. ShiftRR doesn't run at all saying ADB is at fault but I can ADB into the whole phone myself no problems, ShiftySonOfA almost works but creates a boot loop that thankfully is repaired by doing an --undo, Quickroot seems to work but then unroots the phone just as soon as it reboots. Trying to do it manually using the info on here gives me exactly the same boot loop as the ShiftySonOfA.BAT file does and trying to update from SD using a PG06img.zip I got from a rootkit fails. I can't help it if I'm a Samsung fan. Their goal in life isn't making their users stress out over their phones by daring to think they can do better than they can. If its too much to ask that my RAM isn't more than half full just with OS and bloatware because this phone refuses to root then so be it but even if its miles below my Nexus it's still MILES above any iPoo device.
Then throw it out and go buy a portable media player, or better yet send it to a dev who would put it to use and go buy some type of portable media player.
Edit: and to anyone who actually wants to try and help this guy, does this really seem like a person we need to deal with in our little speedy community in the future?

ROFL Speedy community. Half of you are talking about swapping out to Photons and the other half are moving to One X's. yes I've read an awful lot before posting a question. Guess I'll be getting absolutely no help here. Not that there is much help available for this device when all the links are broken and the ones that are working, don't work for their intended purpose. Feel free to delete the thread MOD I'll stay where I'm welcome, in the Samsung sections.
Happy to see you leave, please don't come again.
Edit: and you couldn't have read to much or you would have been able to root it. Well then again, you were calling your recovery touchwiz in another thread soooo... I'm guessing you have some trouble grasping things at times.

Well its probably been a while since you researched how to root, because if you done that more recently or even looked at my sig, you would have already rooted that shift. I posted it here and in 3 other well-known forums so its hard to believe that you haven't found it.

Samsung sections?! Have fun! I don't see how you'd be welcome there either. Also I hope you enjoy your screen burn in Galaxy Nexus - http://cdn1.sbnation.com/imported_assets/895626/4731866441_f37348315f.jpg . Ugh Buh Bye
