Just passing this on, almost started a thread to ask for help before finding the answer with Google.
After using Bubbys simple root, everything has been working fine except for a couple of things. Noticed a couple of issues with the market; first, it started trying to install all of my apps at once, and none were actually finishing installing. I had to go and cancel downloads of all the ones I could, then restart the downloads; worked fine then. Everything I've tried to install has worked that way that I've tried except Angry Birds. Tried to install it, got an error and wouldn't install. Tried pushing it in, same problem. It was driving me crazy, but I just came across a suggestion that I tried. Unmount the SD card, install, remount the card; works great. Just passing it on if anyone else has a market install problem after Bubbys root.
This should probably be posted in bubbys thread for his one click simple root. So he can add it to the f.a.q. That would seem to be the most appropriate place for it.
Thank you for the info though.

Gonna post it there too, because I have another issue I haven't solved and need some answers for. Just trying to skim through to make sure it hasn't been addressed already. These threads are damn hard to read through, though, there are so many posts (2,340 right now!). It cracks me up when someone asks a question and someone else gives a snippy comback about how it was already asked and answered 30 pages back on page 43.
EDIT: Should have looked over the FAQ better to start with.
"Q: Why are my Market downloads paused/not working?
A: This is actually a Market issue, but has a fairly easy fix:
Open Settings>Applications>Manage Applications.
Select the Market app.
Click “Clear Cache” and/or “Clear Data” if either of them are able to be pressed.
Reboot your Inspire."
Works better than my way.
They need to make an app that roots the HTC inspire instantly an put it on the market.....

Hello group,
Wish me luck. I am about to start my first root/rom install. Going with Andromeda. This will be applied to my 5th replacement phone for the auto shut down issue. It just arrived. I am getting tired of getting replacements and waiting for a good one so that I can go to 2.2. I have read the guides. I have a couple questions that I can't find a clear answer on.
1) I already have a paid version of mybackup pro. Can that be used instead of titanium?
2) My phone is up and running on the stock 2.1. Is it normal to restore all apps, data and system settings from the 2.1 phone to the 2.2 install? Are the system setting compatible between the two?
3) I think I recall some mention of writing down some number from your original phone so that if you have to set it back to stock for warranty. I don't see that in the official instructions though. Is there such a precaution necessary?
Thanks in advance.

2.Never restore system data. Your just asking for trouble if you do.
3. Back up your efs folder from system and copy it to your pc. As roms chnage android id and imei
cool thanks for the quick response. Nubish question from your response. How do I backup the "efs" folder I don't see it using the phone to browse the files or mounting the phone via usb and browsing via the pc. Do I have to root it first?

Yes you will need to root it first and then you will need a files explorer that will allow you to get to the system files. I use Root Explorer my self. One of the few apps that is well worth the money
good luck with the first go at it. I just did the same the other day and must say best decision I made with this phone.
What everyone else said is good. I would also back up your contacts and write down your APN settings. Some ROMs change the APN.
Contacts:
1) Contacts > menu button > Import/Export > Export to SD Card > you will get a vcard file saved to your sd card. You should also back this up on your pc.
2) You can also sync your contacts with your gmail account. I usually take the vcard from earlier and import it into gmail.
APN:
1) Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names > just write down the settings in case they change in the future.

Instead of this nonsense
You will be nothing but happy after flashing. I do not mpost much on here, just read and read, but this site is excellent in finding what you need. I ran Phoenix for a while and it was very good, but I have flashed Serendipity 5.0 with the latest Speedmod kernel and its working great. Battery life seems to have improved for me with this combination.
So did you flash?? What was the outcome? Success? Check out Ceszar's continuum theme for Andromeda, just love that along with Andromeda 2.0
I'm curious too as to how everything went for you.

Yes i flashed. running andromeda for the past couple days. seems fine. much faster and the gps lokcs in seconds now. with 2.2 i can now use skype, flash, chrome to phone and use the power button for the camera shutter. All wins for me. I am not sure I get any more battery life out of this setup. I have been playing with it non stop, so I don't have any real world numbers on the battery life. I also learned that mybackup pro can't restore apps backed up from 2.1 to 2.2 I tried 3 times and every time the apps would fail at some point and I wold have to hard close them.
I have noticed a couple times that I have lost the data connections either on wifi or the 3g. Not sure it's the rom, hardware or just plain bad cell sites. but on reboot the connections were fine.
Over all impressed with the dev team for adromeda. They have an irc channel and there seems to be someone always there to answer my questions.
--pat
Just an update.
I rolled back to the untheamed 1.0 andromeda and then applied the DMT Dark Theme. did not like the battery meter so loaded modded circle one. Pretty happy with the look now. See the attached running launcher pro.
That looks really good.
I wish I had seen this thread before you installed that new ROM. I would have told you that stickies are for sissies.
Do it all from the seat of your pants and depend on luck. That's what I say. (j/k)
Do you see that business about restoring all system data? I tried that yesterday, I think it was. Got a good install of Paragon RC5. I think I then tried a full system data restore from TiBu. Rebooted the phone and it started back up so that it required a PIN to unlock it. I guess because I had been using that function before install of RC5. The PIN did not work. Tried this method not only once, but twice. Finally figured out how to use TiBu for real, I think. Makes me wonder if these locking schemes are worth using. I suppose they might buy you just a little bit of time in case of theft.
If you get to jonesing for something new, check out the ROM mentioned above.
Glad you're happy with your efforts!

Glad to hear it all went well for you. And I like the look you got going there. Seems like you did great for your first time

This is WHY they have minimum post settings.
I spent a week reading about the bolt, how to root it, etc., etc. Before doing anything. Read, and then read some more before tinkering around with it. Use nandroid backup before making changes.

I know there is some issues with market on the mr2 radio as far as the way the dev of your Rom needed to set it up so it would allow downloading of certain protected apps but sounds like you are taking right steps to try and get back to a functioning market
Clear the cache and data for the market app then try it again.

I have had the same issues and this fixed it.
I posted a topic about this about a week ago after installing MR2. There is an issue with Google recognizing and updating your info that is in some way related to the 4G SIM.
I kid you not....this is how to fix it...... It has happened to me twice the last week as I got an AE.
1. Wait. No matter what I did, it seemed to never "Come back" until about 48 hrs.
2. Clear the Market cache and data
3. Stop the market service
4. Sing into and out of Google talk like you are on OCD.
Pissed the second day I had this happened, I was sitting at a bar listening to some girl go on and on about something so I started signing in and out of Google talk like 14 - 16 times....... Opened the market...no problem!
For "Must have apps, go to the online market place via your computer and push them to your phone. That always worked for me no matter what. Good luck!
This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weatherwondered the samething. just looked on the market page. It says in the url com.asus.weather. thanks for making me look.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather
Well that seems to be that mystery solved
I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.
Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.
So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

Hey everyone.
First, I can't take credit for any of this. User mcmb03 is the one who found the thread and asked about it in the Q&A section. I went ahead and tested it out, and was able to get Google Now working on CleanROM 4.0SE, albeit not without its problems. (These problems are affecting all users, not just Sense users.)
Known issues
-Voice Search is broken
-"Show more cards" may cause a Force Close if there are no other cards to load. If you've done some searching, and Google Now has learned, for example, your favourite sports teams and there are actually more cards to load than what are on the initial page, it WILL load more cards.
- and possibly some other things we haven't noticed yet
To get it working, go here and follow the instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28226043&postcount=1
Then, in the same thread, jump to page 15 and follow the instructions in the second post down, #142 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28234189&postcount=142)
Happy Nowing!
EDIT: After testing for an hour or so, it seems like absolutely everything is working now except for Voice Search. Of course, there could be other problems we just haven't discovered yet.
so... most of it is broken? QUICK LETS ADD THIS TO EVERY ROM NOW!!!
Then complain about the broken stuff to the dev!

Turns out I was wrong about the automatic card displays. I was under the assumption that a traffic notification would pop up without any user interaction, but you've actually gotta pull up Google Now, and when you've got an upcoming meeting, the top card will show you your meeting info and a traffic report.

lol Red5, of all the mods of all the xda forums I've partaken in, you're by far the spunkiest.
And I wouldn't say most of it's broken. The Voice Search, which is obviously a huge part of it, is the most broken part. It doesn't work at all. The "Show More Cards" link at the bottom causes a crash. Maybe this is because I have no more cards waiting to be viewed, I'm not sure.
I do get automatic cards showing up with a traffic report when I've got an upcoming meeting. I also did a search for "Toronto Blue Jays," and above the web results, I got a Google Now card recapping the most recent game (the Royals kicked our a$$!) And now that I've searched for the Blue Jays a couple times, it'll be interesting to see if Now is really learning my preferred sports teams, and the cards automatically show up when there's a new ballgame.

Nope, that's different. That's the "more" tab for search results. I mean when you open Google Now (from the app drawer, not from the widget), scroll to the bottom of your cards, and click "Show More Cards."
And actually... now that I've been using Now for an hour or so, I clicked the "Show More Cards" and it works now! It shows additional cards that may be useful to me, such as transit routes, the upcoming Jays game (so it did learn one of my "favourite" sports teams.)
So, as far as I can tell, absolutely everything is working except Voice Search. It really is getting more awesome to use as it learns things about me.

push to /system/app/ and set permissions to rw-r-r
So just to make sure, I don't actually have to install the app? Just download, rename it to "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" (rename/delete old one as well), copy it to /system/app/ set permissions, then reboot?
Installed through instructions in second link from op, but get a fc when I open the app, also YouTube fcs for some reason

been looking for a good baseball app - but I guess I cannot use it now. found this forum though - might have better luck there:
http://global.com2us.com/forum/showthread.php?p=424792
Why would it not be legal? Note, this is the not the same question as whether or not it's the right thing to do. They can stop anyone they want from playing, it's their right. Apps typically block root when they used some type of shared scoring or leaderboard system that is susceptible to client-side hacking. It's a cheap workaround to prevent rooted players from playing rather than having to actually make their app secure.
As for how, a quick Google search turned up this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1101380/determine-if-running-on-a-rooted-device
That's a very simplistic way to check, and even it would be difficult to hide from. I've no doubt companies that are doing this as an anti-hacking measure are doing things more complex than this.
Yea I did a google search too and nothing seemed to help. I tried the temp unroot but that doesn't work. Was wondering if the XDA community knew some better way as I didn't find anything on the forums.
Legality side of it, Yea I suppose your right. But it's like saying I can't install WinAMP on Windows because I changed some registry files. Companies should defiantly not use rooting as an "anti-hacking" tool against their app. Either way they got a bad review because of it, hopefully they will take it into consideration and fix it.
It's the first time I've ever heard of an app not allowed because of root, is that a common thing?
Not really common, per se, but I've heard of it on a couple of other games. It's almost universally games that are susceptible to some type of client side hacking. There are some other apps that will do more specific things, like block you if you try to run an ad blocker, but very few will outright stop you for only rooting.

Hey it WORKED!
What I had to do:
1) Installed SuperSU
2) Went to Settings>Apps>Manage Apps>All and Force Stopped Superuser
3) Opened SuperSU, Settings, and unchecked Enable Superuser.
This app must use the 3rd method listed on shrike1978's link where it checks for su binary. Thankfully because the other two checking methods would be impossible to get around without unrooting. (I'm sure it's not impossible, but more work than I care to do)
Thanks for the help AgentFour20
