I switched my Atrix for the Inspire ealier today and since my wife and kids are in bed, I finally got a chance to play with it. I got it rooted and everything but when I got to look at the available roms to flash, they mostly say "Desire HD and/or Ace Roms" before I had the Atrix I had the Evo and the roms were always listed what phone the rom was for
With that said, can someone please tell me if all Desire HD Roms are compatible with the Inspire or is it a select few?
And is RA Recovery available for the Inspire or is it just Clockwork?

If you check the Inspire 4G Android Development there are a lot of ROMs based off Desire HD ROMs but ported using a different kernel for the Inspire. Remember, the Desire HD and the Inspire are basically the same devices except for the sound drivers which is why the Roms need a proper kernel. For instance, if you were to flash a Desire HD rom it would work except it would probably have no sound; you would have to flash an Inspire 4G kernel with working sound. And to your second question I don't know what that Recovery is so sorry! Hope this explained things a bit haha.

Not exactly sure what your trying to say. If you use a DHD rom from the DHD threads then you are going to have to apply a sound fix. If you are looking for a stock rom just grab Cleard,TCP or DILLIGAF from the inspire dev section.
Well I did the long superoneclick process that fixed sound and now I want a kernel that's overclocked and not sure which are safe to flash I came from a cappywhere I could flash almost anything and never really brick lol.

Problem is I don't have root anymore. I really just need to get a new phone is my goal lol
You could search for Shortfuse + SuperOneClick here at XDA.
SuperOneClick will give you Temp Root on the Inspire...probably long enough to fix the issue and as soon as you reboot...the root will clear and nobody will know the difference.
I know SoC gives root long enough to enable sideloading on the Inspire...worth a shot.

I tried but couldn't find a link. And I can't download anything from the market so I may be screwed in that. Will AT&T care if it says Desire HD?
superoneclick

Market doesn't work for me for some reason tried to fixed it but no avail.
It sounds to me like you unrooted it but left the downgrade ROM on it. If so, you'll now need to get the official HTC RUU (Ace Cingular US) and run that to restore it to stock AT&T.

its says desire HD in stock form out of the box I believe, so changing it to inspire 4g will be wrong(I'm 99%sure it says desire HD stock). Pull build.prop from factory ruu and see what it says

My stock Inspire says, HTC Inspire 4G. There is also a small TM to the right of Inspire, for trademark.

Mine does too, but I'm basing my advice on the fact that the OP mentioned that the audio didn't work either.
Even HTC sync sees my phone as a Desire HD, but the "about phone" info shows "HTC Inspire™ 4G"
Phone is still bone stock (aside from apps) BTW
and??lol
it says desire hd by default, its like that.
But you can change it too.
I got mine from at&t two weeks ago. And when it was stock, straight out of the store, under phone info it read Desire HD. You will be fine. Pinky promise.
I got a new one and it actually says Inspire lol

Installing an ruu will unroot it. Root is access the os layer /system and nothing else.

Why would you put a stock DESIRE HD ROM on an INSPIRE just to hope that HTC will think you have a DHD and give you the update for the DHD? Well they won't anyways. You do realize a stock DHD ROM is not 100% compatable with the Inspire? They do have slight hardware differences.
Gene Poole has a rooted version of the new DHD ROM with adjusted drivers for the Inspire in the Development section. If that is what you want in the end then just install it. Here is the link.

Only problem with that is, other users, like myself, have gotten a bootloop after installation. It will boot, but will constantly loop on the "HTC - quietly brilliant" screen. Last I checked, there was no solution as of yet. If Gene Pool can figure out what is causing it and correct it, I will most likely try flashing it again.

If you really want to run this stock base, I would go into fshami's Sens 3.0i thread and ask Wild Child if you could test his soon to be released stock version of this base. It has all the S's- smooth, stable, speedy, solid..... I'm sure he wouldn't mind another good tester.

I bought HTC Inspire 4G phone, but the software recognized it as Desire HD even on the market so i'm not sure if i want to add launcher where to look , Inspire 4g or Desire HD ?
please any explanation !
the inspire is basically the north american version of the desire hd... most of the custom roms available for one will work for the other.
have you flashed a custom rom, or are you on stock still?
either way its nothing to worry about, your phone will work just fine.
If you are using the stock rom and about phone information says it is desire, then you have a desire. Many custom roms are made to be used for both phones bit does not detect the inspire unless you flash inspiremod....and not all roms from one phone will work on the other. Make sure that if you flash a custom Rom it is compatible with your phone. Otherwise you might get stuck.

If you have an inspire, then definitely the inspire guide. Read a lot and be prepared, if you get stuck Google it or pm someone. Have fun :thumbup:

Use the Hack Kit....don't use any other method....It works for both DHD and Inspire and if you follow all instructions you will be s-off and rooted in less than 5 minutes.

So after a few hours I successfully rooted and unlocked (s-off) my HTC Inspire. I flashed to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_7.3! Everything is working perfectly. However, I tried to run xbox smartglass and apparently I am on too low of an andriod version. Is there anyway to go up to 4.0+? Also is it worth it?
Any help would be appreciated
Yes, there are 4.0+ ROMs available on both the Inspire 4G and the Desire HD development forums. You can use both; they're nearly the same phone.
