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.

I'm using the tcp rom and lee droids kernel. Be aware that you may need to reflash your radio to get gps working. Then flash kernel

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.

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.

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.

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

Uhmm in where?? it says inspire on the labels, boxes etc but not on the software infos etc.
ill be rooting my friends inspire tonight, he currently has the latest 2.3.3 ota installed. in your opinion what is the best, stockish but stable type rom for him to run as he is a android beginner. i don't need all the overclocking, bells and whistles. is there any roms with sense 3.0 with the 3.0 lockscreen?
also what kernel/radio is recommended?
Virtuous seems to have the best reviews in rom manager. I tried rooting with 2.3.3 installed. It was a PITA!!! Do yourself a favor and use the method I posted to downgrade first, then root and flash a good rom!!!

thanks, hey i remember you back from the hero days!
Sense you have been around for awhile you know that best ROM threads don't last long. Best bet is to try a few on said device and then choose the best for that device/person.

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.

Then you are in the wrong place. This is a developers site, you are suppossed to do your homework and read and do some research. A tutorial will probably lead you to a messed bootloader and belive me, that is really painful to deal with.
That thread has all you need to know. Even has a noob guide (the same that in my signature) that will help you out. Try that out and once you know what rooting and downgrading involves, you are ready to go.

As long as you follow instructions in the Hack Kit site and in the effen manual, chances are almost inexistent, thou modifying software always involves risks.
You have you be aware of that. Several thousands of dhd and inspire users have used the kit successfully, so that is your proof that it works flawlessly as long as directions are followed.

Same answer. If you follow instructions you shouldn't have problems. The risk is always latent, you are modifying software, but there are lots of success cases that backup the process.
Its very simple. I did this 4 days ago. Currently on 4.2 AOKP. All you need to do. Unlock your bootloader. Thats easy. Htcdev.com. create an account and follow the directions. This'll unlock bootloader. Then Download that boot.zip. extract the boot.IMG and put it in the fastboot folder. On computer, cd to fast boot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img. relock the boot loader. Then run the hack kit. Questions?

Am I missing out on having my devices boot loader unlocked ? When I first tot the inspire 4g I had some difficulties knowing where to start but than I figured out how to root the thing with AAHK. I'm now using a cm10 ROM and honestly I'm curious about this boot loader option. I would assume that by using aahk that I couldn't use htcdev to unlock the bootloader because I might risk brick or some god awful thing...
Ultimately all I wanted to do was be able to use custom roms and vice versa but now that I keep hearing about this bootloader option it makes me curious as to what unlocking it well do for my inspire

S-Off with AAHK is a much better option than S-On boot loader unlock with HTCDEV. With S-On you can only flash ROMs meant for the DHD, meaning no ported ROMs. Also, you need to fast boot flash a boot.IMG separately each time you flash a ROM. Also, you let HTC know and so you lose any warranty you may have. And radios can't be flashed. Look in the Ace Think Tank guide for more information.
You just answered all my questions man, I appreciate it...ill stick to what I know...its a different experience coming from a LG optimus one....
