EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.
I think you mean 3rd party apps is enabled? Not slideload.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.

This is confirmed. I ran SuperOneClick. It ran all the way through with no errors like I got root and then I clicked Allow Non Market Apps. After disconnecting and rebooting, of course I truly did not have root, but I tried installing a non market apk file from my sd card and it worked!! It did not add the option to the settings menu, but nonetheless it is enabled. This should work great for the Amazon Appstore now. Thanks for the heads up!!
Confirmed x2 - this was all I was looking for ATM.. Didn't think about using the ol SuperOneClick
SOC will give you temp root until you reboot.
All you need is temp root to enable Non-market apps...I suggested this to people a month or so ago.
Glad to see it show up again. Its a super-easy solution for those not wanting full root, but still wanting sideloading.
It's even easier to do than the Sideloading wonder machine...
Works great. I still think its time for me to go all the way.
Gives temp root? Sweet all I need

Is the update from your service provider or from the people that created the ROM? If it's from your provider I would not even try to run the update just wait for an updated version of your rom to come out.
Thanks!
Kind of what I was thinking but being new to the device I thought I would ask.
Thanks again!
This is just to enable better speeds but all the ROMs already enable that.

The OTA update is a combination of a patch pack and some new firmware for the radio and hboot. The first phase is applying the patch pack. For this to work, you need a pretty much stock ROM. If you're rooted, you likely have a few files that will be different and the patch will fail. It also checks the CID and aborts if you're not using stock (ie you used gfree to "open" your SIM, etc.). The firmware will only install after the patching process has completed successfully.
If you are rooted, then your best bet is to just use ATTN1's package that contains all the patched files and firmwares. You can find it here:

Keep the downloaded OTA on your /sdcard, but DO NOT INSTALL it! There is some dev work being done on the newest "leak", and I can tell you, things have changed. Avoid complications, and just sit back and hold tight to the OTA you found until we (erm... the devs) have tested this, and can get us back to stock.

Yes. The new leak is very much final ICS for us. And, as jim mentioned, it will lock us down even more with no way to return to GB. Unless that doesn't matter to you for some reason, I would stick with the first ICS leak found and posted in the general section. Then you may flash a ROM made from the new leak if you wish to experience what the newest leak has to offer. Or, you can decide for yourself what's best for you..
