i got S-Off thats done phone works fine but i have no audio so i know i need a kernel problem is there is no SuperUser on my inspire and or so i cant run Rom manger to flash Clockwork Why did SuperUser not install after doing the Root????
iirc the superuser is installed with the first flash you perform. can you be more clear about which procedure you were using? attn1's i assume?
will this work if i just flash Stock inspire RUU and break root all i want is to Sideload and have Sound lol ?
i had success sideloading apps that DO NOT require root using adb push from the computer. if you can flash the rom, then that should solve your problems as far as i can understand.
So you guys understand what i wanna do as of now everything is fine i can sideload and have S-off but i have no Sound because its a DHD Rom So how to i get me Sound back but keep Sideload and i dont care if i break root i dont need it just want my Audio??
i dont have the documentation or the hack kit here in front of me, but if i remember correctly you were supposed to flash clockworkmod recovery while you had temp-root. i think that might be the step you missed?
So how do I get my audio all I want and to sideload

If you used Attn1's method, did you complete the steps to the end? Did you flash the stock radio back?
ok can you link me to that radio or method i will re run that thanks What sucks is this is my friends phone has no ideal his audio wont work i told him i would root it Helppp
Can you boot to Recovery? Turn off fastboot (settings--applications--remove check from fastboot), turn off phone, hold Vol - and PWR until bootloader starts. Select Recovery. If it boots to CWM Recovery, then all you should need to do is download a new ROM and flash it through CWM. If you cant get to CWM, then flashing the RUU should take you back to stock, giving you your sound back. Once you're back to stock you can use sideload wonder machine to sideload, without root. Note: running the ruu to get back to stock will leave s-off. If you want s-on you'll need to do that before you flash stock ruu
2nd post here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957692) will walk you through the process

This would get you back to stock, no root, but everything working the same way it was out of the box.
Question answered by Homeslice976 at the same time this was posted.
So in closing im going to run the Stock RUU to get sound Back But will i still see the option that says Check to allow unknown Sources thats all i want

No. The stock ROM doesn't have that option. But sideload wonder machine doesn't need that option to side load unknown sources
well i just need to get some of my apks on his phone before he picks it up is wonder machine i quick simple thing also can you link me thanks
Also is there a way i can fix my Audio with a patch Zip or flash without Clock Work? there has to be I swear At&t is a Joke for what they do to Android

I've honestly never used it, but from the way other people talk it's easy enough. Install the program on your computer, hook your phone up, tell the program where the apks are that you want installed, and presto!

hi all,
I have a rooted DHD (used visionary) and am on the Stock Rom, the version is as follows:
Android Version : 2.2
Baseband Version 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
Kernel Version
2.6.32.21-g66cfb7a
[email protected] #1
Tue Oct 26 15:58:17 CST 2010
Build Number
1.32.720.5 CL277010 release-keys
Software number
1.32.720.5
Browser version
Webkit 3.1
I was keen on trying the custom roms and hence started by downloading the ROM Manager off the market. I installed clockwork recovery using the Rom Manager and after doing so it said installed successfully.
Now the issue is that i just simply cant reboot into recovery, everytime i try doing so, my phone reboots and just gives me the red triangle.
I have factory resetted my phone, installed clockwork recovery again using the ROM manager but it just dont go beyond the red triangle.
If i manually try to reboot holding down the volume button with the power button, nothing happens, as soon as i let the power button go, it just reboots itself.
Can any one please tell me what is the problem here. I dont even have one nandroid backup of my phone as i was never able to reboot into recovery after i installed clockwork recovery..
Cheers...
So if i am right you tried to install cwm without having a rooted ROM?
That won't work because ROM manager needs root access, the only thing you now did with visionary is making you phone s-off.
Correction, you get superuser app when you install visionary?! You get permission request when you try cwm?

That's incorrect, Visionary only gives root permissions, not S-OFF. So shamps, you have to get S-OFF first. Links in my signature..

I did not tried installing a custom rom, i wanted to take a nandroid backup of my phone using the ROM manager before i start trying custom roms. I have root access (i am able to use root explorer and titanium backup), Visionary give root access and not s-off (i am pretty sure with what i have read around here).

Dear jkoljo, yes i have read your posts and seen you work, kudos to you for giving the forums these super cool mod tools. Now, if i understand correctly, you are saying that i cannot reboot into recovery without having s-off. I think my purpose was misunderstood, the only thing i am trying to achieve is to reboot into recovery at the moment, and i am unable to do so, simply cant get past the Red Triangle after i click Reboot into Recovery on ROM manager.
Did the clockwork recovery not flssh correctly, i have falshed it twice using the ROM manager.

Actually you cannot even flash the clockworkmod without S-OFF, so you really do need it
With root and without S-OFF it seems like the clockworkmod flashes fine, but it actually does not. The write protection in your device's internal memory prevents any changes.

Ohh, i was unaware of that. If the clockwork mod is not flashed this way, shuldnt my stock recovery be still there.
Why doesnt my phone boot into the stock recovery? Or by attempting to flash ckockwork without s-off, i have messed up my stock recovery as well?

OK. One more confusion, when i tried booting with the volume button pressed down earlier, i was able to get to the white screen with all the info regarding the device(not sure it was before or after i played around with the Rom Manager).
Why cant i get to it now?
PS: i am not sure if its relevant or not; i cant even install the latest OTA update, after the update is downloaded the phone reboots, starts the install and after may be 20%, the same red triangle appears. Tried it twice with the same result even with unrooting my phone.
Please dont mind so many qs from my side; its my first android device and i am still learning.

There is no difference in going to that white bootloader screen, but if you have fastboot enabled now, you have to rip your battery out before you can boot there. You can also try rebooting while holding vol down.
If you have uninstalled any system apps with your root permissions, OTA updates become disabled.

Finally got things under my control. Was able to get to the white screen and yes now i am sure that i have s-on and the stock recovery. Now i can finally play around with my device. Thanks for all the help guys. I did uninstall some system apps but since i dont have my s-off, all stock apps were restored automatically.Now is the latest OTA important as i am on stock rom, if yes is there a way to get it with my current settings? I dont want you guys to go crazy with all these questions but then i have no one else to go to :d.
PS: which custom rom would you suggest for me as it will be the first time for me.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Do not do the OTA under any circumstances if you are going to flash a custom ROM. OTA's disable rooting, and then you have to downgrade manually..
Get the latest Android Revolution HD 3.x series (3.2 at the moment). You can follow the multiple guides in this forum to flash, check the sticky roll up thread. You can begin with radio s-off tool (in my signature).

Hey all, sorry if this seems like other questions being posted, but I can not get my phone to work even after attempting the other fixes posted on the forums. I rooted my phone and was running the stock rom that came preloaded with it. I attempted to install CM10 through Rom Manager to no success, so I then tried to manually flash it as well as Gapps. My phone initially got stuck at the CM10 bootloader, but i could still go into CWM Recovery 5.8.3.1. After trying to get the rom to work more, it seems as if all I can access is CWM Recovery and nothing else. My phone wont even boot into the bootloader anymore and all i have access to is CWM Recovery.
I am not the most tech savvy individual when it comes to this since it has been ages since i tinkered with roms, but I would really like to fix this. So heres the facts since my post is so long (sorry!):
-Phone WILL NOT go into bootloader
-Can ONLY ACCESS ClockworkMod Recovery (5.8.3.1)
-SD Card wont mount (I get error "E:Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)")
I really just want to go back to stock and root again from scratch to reduce any errors like this from occurring in the future and ANY help would be appreciated because I am totally lost and without a phone now. To make things even more difficult, I only have access to a Mac running Lion....although i do have Windows 8 through the use of a bootcamp program, so I CAN run windows programs. Thank you all for any information you may have!

Sorry. Best would be the All-In-One Toolkit, TWRP is a recovery to replace CWM because its that what's messing you up and also TWRP is better. Toolkit will also flash the boot.img too.

Okay, will do! Also, where would I find the Boot.img?
And on a side note; my phone says S-ON...I thought when rooted it was supposed to be S-OFF. Could that be causing problems as well?

Boot.img is in the rom zip. S-On is not the reason its CWM thats messing you up with getting into the bootloader but also not flashing boot.img is not helping too.

Np but this time use TWRP as your recovery and once you up and running with CM10 you can use Flash Image GUI to flash the boot.img if you ever update the rom.
Hi- i'm tyring to root my HTC Inspire 4G. I've downloaded alot of the programs aahk, oneclick, root rescue, etc. not having any luck. one click program gets to #7 and hangs. my rom recovery might be corrupt b/c i cant get into recovery. even when i do a factory reset in settings it hangs on the white htc screen on boot up forever. than need to take battery out. i did manage to unlock the bootloader fine with htcdev.i tried the PD98IMG in my sdcard. but i guess i need to have S-Off which i still have S-On b/c my phone isnt rooted yet, any ideas what i can try.? thanks

If you've unlocked the bootloader you can't do any of that other stuff. You need to fastboot flash a recovery.img. Then flash a ROM from there. Instructions in the Ace Think Tank in the Desire HD General section. Note that the DHD and the I4G are essentially the same phone and have the same rooting instructions, and they can use each others' ROMs.

I'm new today here. wondering if i posted in right category after i posted. i see a development one to..
There are two ways to root and flash a custom ROM. One is S-Off. The other is unlocking the bootloader. S-off's tool has been retired, so you can only do it manually. You can still root and flash custom ROMs with an unlocked bootloader, though.

What's an XGS ROM? You're hanging on the boot splash because #6 had an error. Fastboot flashing the ROM zip's boot.img is essential because you are S-On.

Like I said earlier, there are two ways you can root and flash custom ROMs, S-On with unlocked bootloader and S-Off, and you can't have both. If you want S-Off, you would need to relock. And since AAHK (the S-Off tool) is retired, you can only manually S-Off now (which is something I would only recommend for advanced users). Using outdated tools, like AAHK and SuperOneClick, can get you in very bad predicaments very quickly (and I should note that you will probably not find support for those cases). You can look into other ROMs though, and note that the Inspire 4G and the Desire HD are basically the same phone and can use each others' ROMs. Since you are now rooted and can flash custom ROMs through recovery anyway, I would strongly advise that you stick to flashing ROMs now and not try to get S-Off.
LTE is a hardware issue. I4G and DHD don't support it.

When you flash ROMs and/or do anything else with your phone, make sure you read thoroughly. In the case of ROMs, read the OP carefully. It will tell you that you need to flash gapps.

Found the gapps file i need to flash just dont know when to do it. after i flash the jellybean rom?
OP is the original post in a thread, so post #1. Yes, just flash the gapps zip after the ROM.
A while back, I tried to root my phone using Ace hack kit, but I am wildly bad at it apparently, and I couldn't seem to get it to work. I ended up in a bootloop but was able to correct it somehow.
Anyways, I am on 2.3.5 now, and for some reason I STILL don't have a 3.0/4.0 update. I check every now and then, but the phone still has no updates and boy am I tired of Gingerbread.
So, I could have sworn there was a 4.0 update for my phone (on ATT) but if there wasn't, is there an easier, less risky way to try to get 4.0 on my phone?
There is no official 4.0 update for I4G. HTC canceled it. You can unlock your boot loader with the Easy Ace Root Tool.

If you just want to flash ROMs, you don't need S-Off, just an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. If you want to flash radios, you do. But AAHK, the automated method for S-Off, is retired. There's a manual method detailed by the author, attn1, on the old AAHK website, but be warned that that's more for advanced users.

If you just want to flash ROMs, you don't need S-Off, just an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery. If you want to flash radios, you do. But AAHK, the automated method for S-Off, is retired. There's a manual method detailed by the author, attn1, on the old AAHK website, but be warned that that's more for advanced users.

Okay, So I got it rooted and I think the bootloader is unlocked. I used Ace Hack Kit and it was fairly easy.
Now, I want to put on Paranoid Android or at the very least a good ICS rom. How the heck do I do that? I have read through some guides but none of them really show me how to put a rom on my phone.
Also, it looks like clockworkmod recovery IS installed on my phone, so now I should be able to just load a rom up right?

Full wipe and flash a ROM through recovery, then fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip. My signature has instructions on that last bit.

It's not letting me boot into recovery mode anymore and I appear to be stuck on fastboot. I tried to boot into recovery from ROM manager, and it says that "An error occured while attempting to run privileged commands"
-Edit- I got out of Fastboot, but I still can't boot into recovery for some reason. I am holding up+power from off. Bah
-edit2- I got it into recovery and tried to install from zip in clockworkmod, but it keeps aborting the install process. Seems like I am not rooted? Even though I did all of the steps in easy ace hack

OK, wait. It's power and volume-down, not up. Being rooted has nothing to do with installing from CWM, what matters is whether your bootloader is unlocked. What are you trying to flash? How are you trying to flash it? Are you still unlocked, or alternatively, what does hboot say?

Oh okay sorry I thought it was power and up.
I am trying to put this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1742073 on my phone.
I tried doing it from the rom manager app and it gave me those errors so I tried to do it from a recovery mode boot and it just failed. I tried several different times, and I did indeed clear the cache and format.

STOP!!!!. Do not install that ROM from the link you provided. That ROM is NOT for the HTC Inspire. You could (and probably will) brick your phone. Stick solely to the ROM development threads under the HTC Inspire or Desire HD forums.
I highly recommend that you do not attempt any further installations until you have read and learned more regarding rooting, custom ROM installation, and what to do when $hit goes wrong. There is so much information regarding ROM installation and the dos and don'ts that you really have no excuse making this type of mistake.

Wow, I made a pretty bonehead move because I thought I was searching for Inspire stuff, btu I mixed it up with the Infuse (which I owned just before this phone)
Whoops. Well, I am going to read up a bit more, but I still wish to get at least ICS on my phone, if not JB.

Inspire 4Gs can use Desire HD ROMs. DHD has a more active forum. ICS, JB, and Sense ROMs can all be found there. Stick to those two forums.

+1. Definitely look at the DHD development forum. You are going to find more options there. However, for ICS, Inspire 4G has AOSPX which is very stable in my opinion. For JB development DHD is the place to look.
