I had the same issue (I too came from the dark side). I found the gold card process worked better, even tho it was more work, plus I learned a lot about rooting my Android Phone
.......................
How did you get it to work? I tried everything but I get stock in the same step. can use rage terminal wont show up.

I tried the goldcard, with Ace, I tried manually with adb. and everything stops when I have to run the command from the virtual terminal with rage. Is there any other way of doing this?

First off id like to say, yes im a noob and yes i researched this. Looked for a good 30 minutes with no luck so I figured id go right for the source and start something new. If im just an idiot who hasn't looked hard enough, point me in the right direction and ill gladly fallow
Ok, so heres my story....
I decided to try and root my Inspire with the mind set of gaining access to Netflix by changing the Manufacturer and model code in the rom, but I never really got that far. I used This program and fallowed the video tutorial to the best of my abilities. I did back up my phone using Wondershare Mobilego, but could only grab contacts, messages and apps. I also copied the entire contents of my SD card into a separate folder before I started the format. Everything was going smooth, I got to the boot menu on the phone, and unpacked/updated the PD98IMG.zip file. I did the reboot and opened the rom editor included, went through the process and it said it was gonna crash but it never did. I waited and waited and it never happend. I pressed the home button and tried to open it again, worked fine. It said it was gonna crash again, never did. At this point I was getting a little mad. Im almost sure I entered everything right. I rebooted the phone and it came up with the boot manager, but guess what It freezes. So I just turned off the phone and booted back up again. It works fine other than the fact that it thinks its a Desire HD and everything went all British on me. Im guessing its stuck on the downgrade. The real problem is that any and all speakers do not work. When people call I cant hear a thing. The rear speaker doesn't work either. The headphone jack doesn't even work! WTF?! Got any suggestions on what to do?
Thanks,
Adam
If you can get into recovery just flash an inspire rom. Or find the stock rooted one that attn1 did. It flashes through hboot and also flashes the newest ATT ota radio.

+1. It also does a full wipe. It should fix you up and you should be good to go to flash a custom rom if you so choose. Just look in the dev forum for attn1's Ace_Cingular_US rom. Be sure to get the one with sideloading enabled.

Sounds like you are stuck with a bad radio combo. Do as suggested above and you,should be fine. Worst case is set aside about an hour and start from stock, then use Ace Hack Kit (just the one I used, not sure about the others) just follow the manual and you will be fine.

I had to do everything twice with the hack kit. Every step. It was rather harried but I think I had similar issues, and I just tried it all again and it worked the second time. The issue does sound recoverable.
Does anyone know of any stock RUU for the HTC Evo Design, I was messing with mine last night trying to experiment with it, trying to get clockworkmod and then when It rebooted it just hangs at the white screen saying HTC. Any recommendations? I'm frustrated because I've only had it for 2 days. And I wanna get it back up so I don't have this nice looking Evo just sitting there.
Thanks!
I tried doing a factory reset and wipe of the cache through the stock recovery too. No luck.

Hey there is a link where you can download the stock ruu, just do a google search for htc evo design ruu and you should be able to dl it, it took me a while to dl but it works. Its the second one down on the google search.
Hello, I have an HTC inspire and been rooted for a few months. The volume+ has been very glitchy most of the time not working. Even tried a custom Rom and still bad issue. This noting I re locked the phone and put it back to the way it was when I got it. So far today the volume button has worked every time with no problem. My question when rooting the phone is their a chance that rooting caused the hardware issue, that it corrupted the software enlighten to make it glitchy in that way. Is their a way to confirm that. Just wondering because I hate haveing this un-rooted phone lol.
Custom ROMs would not affect your hardware buttons unless you installed an app that messed with the volume.
I really didn't think it was the Rom I was wondering more about the rooting its self. thanks for the reply.
Rooting the phone doesnt affect the volume rocker...you can not break physically the phone from software...

Guys I didn't not mean physical damage. I meant software get corrupted some how, by the rooting process. Phone has been relocked for past two days. I have shut off phone twice in a row, tried everything I could think of to get the vol+ button not to work and it works every time. No matter how hard I push on it. No I didn't try to smash it bit still no matter what it works.
Well volume is messing up now again and its un-rooted. So its def a hardware issue. Sucks because now I have to send it it to be repaired but good because I can re-root it when I get it back lol.

Congrats on tracking down the problem. Just think, it should be like new when you get it back.
Well I got my phone a little over 2 months ago. I have the HTC Evo Design 4G on Boost Mobile. Running ICS.
Android Version 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version 3.6
Well a few weeks ago i had my phone stuck in a boot loop. Well needless to say ever since then its been acting funny. I got it out of the boot look my going into the HBoot and doing a factory reset. Well that worked for a little bit then my phone would kinda reset itself. like when you first turn your phone on and it sets the desktop up. I know not the right words to use. But anyways it did that for a while. Now my phone just reset itself. Like i lost all my pics and lost all my custom ringtones. I was wondering if anyone else had this issue with their phone. I also get the voicemail icon come up randomly too. Even when I do not have a voicemail. Lately my phone seems kinda sluggish. I got it from best buy and got the protection on it too. I wanted to see if there is a fix or if this is a known issue with the device. Any help would be appreciated. If you need anymore information about the issue please let me know.
Hi fellow member,
i have a sensation 4g. It was working 6 months ago. It was rooted running fine and with a custom rom. Than i got a new phone the droid razr . 3 months later i want to mess around with my old phone. The battery died on me thought nothing of it. I put it on the charger and no lights came on. Went out for a couple of hours. Came back and tried to turn on my phone. Nothing came on so my first and only thought was it self bricked it. Ive tried the unnbricking fourm they have on this site. I'm lost a little but I got some linux exp. When i try to the commands in the terminal says " cant find device". My phone cant be seen if the battery is out of it ( the screen does light up sometimes) but when i but the battery in it. The screens lights up than turns off. Than my computer sees it. ( I'm using backtrack 5 r3 and Ubuntu 12.04). I try to get in the in the terminal, but i get permission denied. I'm thinking there is no hope for it except the jtagg ( whatever it is called lol). I really want to fix it with out using paid stuff. There should be a way to get in phone, bypassing the permission thing. If anyone can help me please leave a support. I really want to learn new things and willing to try new things.
try this ..power off the phone .. remove battery,sdcard and sim and try to charge the phone for 5-6 hours ...it helped couple of people ..might help in your case too
If you have a spare battery give that a try and see if device will boot then. It's likely just the battery if it was functioning fine before you put it away.

I did try it still nothing. Just taking a guess but im sure when you put the phone into qhsusb mode. It wont boot up anymore but i do still see the phone when i find it in linux. Ive tried to find a why around the access deined, but Im not there in linux skills to do that.
Had a similar problem, not sure what happened but it just died so I tried all the tips and tricks mentioned here was unsuccessfull, sent back to HTC and replaced the motherboard.
What was your rom before it died? Was it overclocked?
