I have read like 15 different ways to root, S-off, and install custom ROM's on my phone, but i have a few questions.
To install a custom ROM, do i need to root my phone first?
I have read so many Root directions and i dont know which one to use, and idk how to make a goldcard on my mac, does anyone know a specific one that they have experience with.
I cannot find the CID number of my SD card and that is ruining my whole root experience.
please, do not treat me as rudely as people have before because of "stupid questions"..and dont refer me to videos because ive watched them all and have had no success.
Yes, you do need to root your phone before you can install a custom ROM, as for the other questions I can't answer them since I don't have any experience with the Inspire 4G. If you only have access to a mac and the tools are windows-oriented you could try running a windows OS in a VM (virtual machine)
oh, and another question, do you have to have a goldcard to to the root?
I have a Mac and I followed the instructions here to make my gold card

with the sd card in the phone and the phone plugged into your mac, in disk drive mode do this at a command prompt
adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
from your android sdk tools directory that should give CID
i appreciate all the help! im trying it now!

you have to have installed the android SDK on your computer.

ok open a command prompt in the directory the hack kit is located
then type adb then the command
how do you open a command prompt in the directory. do i just go t the terminal application and type in adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
because i tried that in the terminal emulator on my phone and it says access denied
Open terminal on the Mac. Drag the advanced program to that window. Then type the rest of the command

Create a folder on your desktop called "Inspire". Extract all of the files within the hack kit to this folder on your computer, not your SD card. Drag this folder to the terminal, hit Return. Now follow the instructions in the Linux/OSX readme (it will be one of the files you extracted)
i read the readme, and i guess things didnt make sense to me. im backing up my sd card again just for sure, then im going format it and try to get the CID number. i tested dragging the adb program into the terminal window and everything worked, but i didnt have my phone plugged it.
i dragged the adb command into terminal and typed in the command: adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc2/mmc2:*/cid
and i got the response: adb, no such file or directory. i just cant make the goldcard. wtf, i cant get the CID number, i mean really. i downloaded ace hack kit v9, and the sdk thing.
also, i just got the platform-tools folder for the sdk, so i will try the things in the folder.
Hi, I'm having a hard time trying to find the CID of my micro SD card. I'm using a regular USB device to connect it to my computer.
My point is : I'm trying to get a goldcard.img from this website : psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard
I do that because the software "goldcardtool" was unable to find my CID with both MMC1 and MMC0.
What i've tried :
As I said, I tried the goldcardtool, then I also tried to find the hidden file which is supposed to contain this ID. It didn't work (I never found this file ! ).
In the end, I found something which was looking acceptable from the DOS using the DIR command.
It says that my serial number for this card is 72678EAE .
But the website I've linked keeps telling me that I have to enter a valid CID.
Where am I wrong ?
hey there im really a noob, i have the at&t htc one xl running the 1.85 update abd can seem to get past the "ADB is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file" please help so i can use 1.85 root script please and thank you
did you download a script zip file and then unzip the contents to a directory on your computer? if yes, is the file adb.exe in the folder where you unzipped the contents? the message "ADB is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file" means your computer can't find the program adb.exe. might retrace your steps to ensure you completed each one correctly.
i'd also suggest providing more detail on what you're trying to do, what tool/file you're using and a little more detail on the steps you taken prior to getting the error message. that will help us/others help you.
Sounds like you downloaded a root script in a zip file, but you never unzipped it. For whatever root-script.zip you downloaded you will need to double click it and extract the files somewhere, maybe to your desktop. The main point here is to extract the files, as just opening the .zip and clicking root.bat won't work. Doing that would result in the error you are seeing.
Hope that helps.

Your description of what script/procedure you are using is very vague. What I can tell from the output is that your script lacks from write permission. Under normal circumstances, users are unable to write to the /system folder or any of its sub folders, which in this case means storing the superuser.apk file in /system/app. It is at least where the superuser.apk is supposed to be stored. If you want to learn about file privileges on Android/Linux, I suggest you to take a look at the command chroot.
