Quickest way to get Cyanogen on my new Inspire

Do I have this correct as the quickest way to get Cyanogen on my Inspire.
Inspire Hack kit > Clockwork recovery > Cyanogen ROM flash?
What is the S-eng off?

That is correct. You dont need Eng S-off. The hack kit will give you s-off which is what you need.

HTC Inspire 4G Simple Root and S-OFF or HTC Inspire Hack Kit are my choices. Simple??

Yeah they are both fairly simple if you read and follow directions lol . I would go with using the hack kit for the simple reason that you gain a bit if experience using commands with adb and sdx tools.

[Q] flashing new radio

So ive already used the hack kit and im on a custom rom. Is it ok to use the hack kit just to flash a radio now?

You can use the GUIDE on top (sticky)

Yes you can. What radio do you want. Some are ready already.

I used the bubby simple one click root for my inspire and would like to flash a recommended radio for the rom I'm using. Is it the same procedure as with the hack kit root?

[Q] sim unlock

Easy way to tell if my inspire is sim unlocked? Obviously if I'm asking I don't have another carriers sim handy to test.

Is it rooted? Because if so the rooting process unlocks it, so if you are rooted, you are already unlocked. If not all you have to do is root.

OK, I was starting to think that, but none of the guides seem to explicit ly state that... No 'step' per se. At least not the guide I used back when the inspire 1st came out.
Thanks

Both rooting methods that I know of (bubby's and attn1 hack kit) use gfree with the default setting: `gfree -f' which is: "--free_all: same as --secu_flag off --sim_unlock --cid 11111111\n"
Note that both kits' s-on options do not restore --sim-unlock so even if you've gone back to what you think is totally stock s-on, you're still sim unlocked.

rooting htc sensation 4G on ICS

Sorry for asking about this, I've searched around and find there are various posted and not sure which is correct one now.
I just got back a HTC Sensation from repaired that they replaced. IT comes with ICS already installed....so now I want to root it so I can unlock to use with other phone companies. I don't plan on using custom ROMs and would like to be able to receive future updates.
What's the best way to root the phone with this new firmware already installed? Can someone point me to the right guide? I see there's some all in one tool and also about unlocking the bootloader via the DevTool but I prefer not to lose warranty.
Thanks for the help

Well if your hboot is 1.27 you will need to head on over to HTC dev to unlock the boatloader and once you accomplish that install a custom recovery I would recommend 4ext and make sure smart flash is enabled and now you have two options you can root the stock Rom or you can download a custom Rom and if your comfortable with doing the wire trick to s off

So the only way to root is to unlock bootloader from HTC Dev first? All I want to do is get root so I can unlock the phone sim lock right now!

You got it

Hi,
Check HERE

Also I notice that you mentioned sim unlock you don't need to be rooted to unlock your sim unlocking your sim is referring to making your device carrier free meaning if in the U S you will have your choice of GSM carriers to choose from depending on how far you go with the sim unlocking process you could free it up from tmo and that will allow you to transition over to AT&T or you could free it up free it up for all gsm carriers like straight talk and your now there's is a script I saw in the dev section to unlock your sim I my self haven't tested it yet I can hunt it down for you if that's what your looking for however to run this script yes you will need to be rooted

Hi,
For sim unlock,look HERE
and maybe HERE

Malybru as given you two links and those are what your looking for and as I stated in a previous post you will need to have your device unlock and rooted to run that script so your your main focus right now is to unlock your bootloader and install custom recovery and then root your device and you may have to s off your device to run that script as I haven't tryed the script yet so be sure to read up on it more before running the script

[Q] help rooting 3.20.502.52 build 2.3.5

I plan on rooting a friends Inspire 4g and I was wondering which method should I use to root the phone? I understand there are 2 different ways. It's an HTC Inspire 4g 2.3.5 with the build number 3.20.502.52 cl380259. I can't seem to find any recent ways to find out how to do this except this on here:
http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88
Is that the only way to do it now? I have experience with rooting. I've rooted 2 HTC arias in the past along with a moto back flip and atrix 2, so I do have rooting and flashing experience. Im just trying to get some more info before doing this. Thanks for any and all help.

Yes, you would need to do it that way for S-Off. You could also unlock the boot loader with HTCDEV only, but you will be S-On and get fewer options that way.

Well I plan to only flash one rom on this device and never mess with it again. Preferably CM9/10. I don't plan on messing with different roms after that. So if I root using HTCDEV, will I be able to flash one of those ROMS?

Yes. You will need to fastboot flash boot.img separately after the ROM.

Banana gave me a link for AAHK and its better, I have s off and unlocked bootloader.....I've never used HTC dev unlock

Then you don't have an unlocked bootloader. You are S-OFF, which means that the nand partition security is off now. That allows you to flash anything you want...much better than an unlock bootloader only.

Help please

So if I just root and have S-OFF without having an unlocked bootloader, I can flash any ROM of my choosing? That seems like it's the best way to go or the easiest at least. Could you give me or mind PM'ing me the AAHK that you used Jrhodes?

Check the thread linked in my signature.

Yes. If http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?p=88 applies read it. If not just use AAHK from the same site. I don't know anything about how the GS3 is unlocked. The link in my signature (to the thread in the DHD forums, which is the international variant of the same phone) will help.

Google play store has this one app for an easy root Samsung ordeal, I've seen it and was going to try and use it when I was thinking about getting a Samsung galaxy S
