Database Info

anyone else completely confused?

I'm so confused with all the lingo, root, kernel, s-off, ruu.
It just seems so overwelming. I don't think I want custom roms, all I want is att stuff removed, and faster data speeds.
And I'd like a way to return to stock in case I need to return the phone.

What phone are you coming from?
Read, as much as you can Google is your friend. Also if your having problems with goldcard checkout the unlockr. Setting up sdk isn't all that bad. This is coming from a renewed rookie with HTC phones because I've been away from adb for two years since I got rid of my dream and magic.

Coming from an iPhone. Don't understand anything about adb, sdk, terminal, etc.
Haven't tried making the gold card yet, ordered an sdcard but it hasn't come in yet.

Just use the card that came with the phone for goldcard. Use the goldcard helper tool from the market, get the mcc 2 number from the tool, go to the link provided, insert the mcc 2 number into the box on the page where it asks for it, get the file that was emailed to you, download the hack kit in the stickied thread of development, after installing Android sdk, unzip the hack kit using 7zip and only 7zip into the tools folder located in the Android folder. From that point you are ready to create a goldcard. That's where the sticky thread is your friend.
I know it sounds like a lot and in the end once you read up and understand how to use adb you'll understand its not that bad. Remember i am a rookie as well with most of this and would be glad to help as you progress

I think creating the gold card seems like the easy step, found a program that will do it and upload it to phone without needing the sdk.
My concern is all the other stuff, different kernels, different radios, etc. Downgrading the radio loses sound, so then you have to upgrade it again, but then the sound isn't as good, etc.
Then someone posted the stock kernel, compared to a telus kernel, what's the difference, and why put one over the other?

The program doesn't work you need mcc2 number. The sound problem is a correlation of combining the dhd time with our kernel.

This will help with adb.Once you start tinkering you will figure it out quickly. As far as reading all the sound issues its really personal preference. You have to do these thing on your device and see if you have the same issue. Alot of the times you will find it that it comes down to different strokes for different folks. I myself have none of the issues that others have other than a weak external speaker. Reading is a great tool but dont get overwhelmed with the information your taking in because a good chunk will not pertain to you and your device. Just stick with the core information and what the op stated

The sound issue is the only thing that is not 100%, which will be fixed soon enough. We will get our own source soon enough, but for the time being dhd roms will do fine with either the stock or TELUS kernel. Personally the TELUS is better for fast data speeds.

Just my two cents and I hope you don't take offense to this, but you picked the wrong phone to jump into rooting and customizing since it's a new phone and the forums aren't yet up to speed on info. I would first read up in the Rodgers Magic 32A forum on how gold cards work, recovery, fastboot, adb, and custom roms work - these phones are broadly used and have been around for a while too.

I've read the instructions in the hack kit, and I still dont' get it.
I need to download the sdk, found that at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
It says Terminal on the phone, so I need to download a terminal app from the market?
The commands look simple enough if I can figure out how to do them.
Edit, also need to download HTC sync?

read the guide Ive listed on how to install adb on the sdk and you will be fine.

After the downgrade, terminal gets installed with the Rom. Always remember to enable debugging and charge only. The terminal part is the hardest. Also after receiving temproot exit out so you can go back into your sdk folder. All the hackerize commands are done from the kit location.

Well, I can't do this at work, was planning on trying, but the sdcard reader in my printer here doesn't work, so I'll have to try it with my laptop at home. Just wasted time downloading all the packages.
Still seems very cumbersome and confusing.

Once you have root, you can install ROM manager from the market. Run ROM manager, scroll to the bottom and tap on "All ClockworkMod Recoveries" and select 2.5.1.3 or 2.5.1.4. DO NOT INSTALL 3.0.0.5, it is NOT compatible with Froyo ROMs.
Once you tap one of those versions, it will automatically download and install ClockworkMod Recovery. Load the ROM you want to install onto your SD card, and in ROM manager, hit "reboot into recovery".
When you get to recovery, go to Backup/Restore and make a backup of your current ROM. Then do a data/cache wipe (factory restore) and then go to Install ZIP from SD Card and select your new ROM. Flash and you're on your merry way

Read the included readme file in the kit its part of step two. The kit is designed so all you need to do is follow the instructions and input a few commands and it pretty much does everything for you minus pushing the power button to get into hboot. The second hackerize command is the actual downgraded Rom.

Model ID error means that the gold card you created is no good. You need to remake it. There is a thread in the General section that describes a better method to try.

Make sure your phone is in disk mode when making the gold card. Try a different micro sd card and make sure you fully format the card, "DONT" do a quick format.

hopefully your right...i dont have another micro sd card and im not ganna buy another 1 but im currently formatting it instead of quick format then ill use hxd again and then try downgrading hope it works

There is an app in the market called goldcard helper. Just make sure and copy mmc2. It defaults to mmc1. Hope this helps

I was in the same boat for a while. It seems when I was doing the copy of goldcard.img over to the actual card it wasn't working. I ended up going the HxD route to copy the data over to the card and selected PHYSICAL disk instead of logical like I had been and it worked without issue after that

Well question is why when I make gold card why does it contain symbols and letters makes no.sense

for anyone having this problem still(i just got mine working) all i had to do was format the sdcard again i just did the quick format then i used the command prompt way of getting the cid code instead of the last few times i used the goldcard helper app and copied the code pasted it into the site that reverses it then when to get my goldcard made and it worked i noticed it was different dont know what i was doing before but if u do it right its really easy. then i just downgraded currently doing that and its working PERFECT

Downloading TB_auto_root

I wanted to learn the manual ADB method suggested by JCASE in the developemen forum, however i've had trouble understanding, seting up, & using ADB.
I have rooted two two htc eris phones before with JCASE's simple one click root method, so that doesn't realy count. I also roote my Moto Droid, but that was a file that was downloadable by the phone it's self, so that was pretty simple also.
The thunderbolt root seems a little more complicated for my knowledge level, so I've decided to go about it using a youtube tutorial called How To: Root A HTC Thunderbolt ( Easiest Tutorial / Step by step .
this method envolves a program called TB-Auto-Root. I attempted to download it to the PC using slow DSL connection, but it said expected download time is over 8 hours. I followed the same link to my phone and it is at 12% in less than 30min. Can't i Just download it it my phone then copy it to my pc? If so, do I need to copy it directly to the C\ drive, or does it matter?
Thanks in advance, ~Dave

First of all, don't use easy roots. If you insist on it, then yes you can download on your phone then transfer it to the PC. Check the MD5 to ensure the file is good. As far as where to put it, I am sure the tutorial should tell you.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

You should YouTube a video called "thunderbolt adb setup" or something. Set up the Google driver, fix the config file so it works with the thunderbolt (google adb thunderbolt and its one of the first links). The rooting software shouldn't take that long to download, even on slow dsl...

Wish people would read before responding

on auto root when i get to the step of pressig 1 it responds that "ADB is not a vlid internal or external......" what does adb have to do with auto root? please help me root my device.... thanx for every ones help, ~Dave

I replied to the other thread but if you insist on using the auto root I can only say this:
The auto root script does EXACTLY what is described in JCase's root sticky. It just automates the process so less user interaction is required. (i.e. It types in the commands for you) That is what it has to do with adb.

Exactly. I did the rooting (and eventually unrooting) manually by simply copying and pasting the commands from the tutorial jcase wrote up into ADB. Process of rooting took me roughly I'd say 25 minutes but honestly its not that hard. Just follow the steps and you'll be just fine.
Oh and unrooting took me all of four minutes to do lol.

Search YouTube for "HTC Thunderbolt root". Find the tutorial by Nat3Mil, explains step by step starting with how to set up adb all the way to installing the custom recovery image. Don't get overwhelmed just take your time. Probably takes about 45 minutes give or take. He did a handful of videos including flashing roms, radios, and kernels. See you on the other side my friend...

how are we to know what is wrong when you are using a tutorial posted on youtube as your guide?
Most of us used jcase tutorial to root. Really, it is very simple to do. You probably don't have the files in the right spot on your pc, or you don't have adb in the right spot.

Wow ok aside from the pricks that are not helping...make sure your phone is in charge only, debug is checked, and make sure you have the HTC drivers installed on your PC, if you downloaded the file onto your phone I'm assuming you didn't install the drivers and that what's probably wrong. Here's the link if ya need it, also make sure you haven't done the latest update if you did its not going to work.

That might be the case with your pc, but usb port has never mattered on my desktop pc, laptop or from within a virtual machine. Perhaps if you attach to some sort of weird device usb like a monitor's usb ports it might.
I would advice the OP to read the tutorial in the development section that's stickied and as a fallback for more information, find a youtube video that explains the same process. I don't know of any links offhand, but I'm sure a 2minute search or less will make a couple show up that do basically what you see in the tutorial sticky thread. However, I would not use the youtube videos alone.

Not true on my PC. Sounds like your front ones are messed up. In response to the OP simply watch a youtube video. You are really going to want to learn ADB instead of using one of the auto-rooters. You will still need an ADB connection either way as it is just automated.

Nobody was trying to be a jerk, but there are 19 different auto root scripts that all have a pretty high possibility of failing at a random point. Leaving you with no clue which step things went wrong at. This makes it really hard to offer any help aside from telling them it is a much better idea to do it the "long" way.
So OP I apologize if you took what I said as being rude. It was not my intention. I was trying to answer what I could without giving bad advice about the problem with the auto script.
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt

I agree with most everyone else's answers. Don't be afraid to follow the standard method jcase laid out. It's not hard, there's little margin for error so long as you follow the instructions, and it never hurts to learn a little adb knowledge. I came from a DINC, and I never used adb before (I rooted the DINC with unrevoked). It's simple. Getting the proper drivers installed is probably the hardest part for someone not experienced in this department, but even so, still really simple.
I'd avoid the 1 click root's. Like mentioned previously, basically all they are is a batch script that runs the same exact commands you'd be copying and pasting yourself if you followed the jcase tutorial. Given that, there's margin for error as you have no control over it unless you modify the script yourself. You're much better off to listen to most people's advice here and just follow the jcase method.

To piggy-back on the latter part of the OP, is there a "best" SD card class for this phone? I know that with my Nook, the best results actually come from using class 4 or 6.

[Q] Rooting HTC Inspire 4G....I have a question?

Not a Rooting NOOB here, I have rooted several HTC Arias/Liberty, Motorola Backflip with Emulator and did not have problems anywhere close to this. I have tried Z4Root (NoGo), VISIONary + R14 (NoGo) and the Ace Hack Kit V12(aahk 29102011) which is the newest release. I have tried this on 2 PC's running WINXP and on both machines I have disabled AntiVirus, Malware and so on, I have looked at all my services and stopped anything listed in the EffenManual and below is what both PC's are telling me when I run the Ace Hack Kit.cmd (AS ADMIN).
file "tasklist" is missing or corrupt.
Your PC Windows ENV is damaged and should be repaired.
At least one default system file is missing, corrupt
or the Windows PC env has been otherwise compromised.
The Hack Kit quits before damage is done to your phone.
Retry with a different PC or try a 32-bit Ubuntu Linux LiveCD.
Press any key to continue . . .
ANY HELP or a Workaround with this would be greatly appreciated. I have rooted, Flashed ROMS, and so on to over 7 different phones with no issues ever, so I know I can do this, but I need a lil help.
Thanks in advance for anyone here that can help with this.

If your card is bad, it might not help to format, but give it a try. As far as goldcard, it's only needed to install the glitchable kernel/radio and you don't need it ever again now that you're rooted.
