hello
i have a new stock inspire 4g and i was thinking of rooting not sure yet. i used to have a samsung vibrant which had unknown sources option available thats pretty much all i would root the phone for im not interested in flashing or anything i would just like to use amazon market and some other apps. using a sideloading app would not work beacuse i wouldnt be able to install from amazon. i was reading and wanted to know if it where posible without making a goldcard using attn1 step 2 script (hackerize-ace setup-downgrade which if im not mistaken it will give you temp root until u reboot without having to actually downgrade) just imput in cmd prompt something to enable unknown sources? i dont need the option to be available in applications just want it to be enabled. if this is not possible and my only choice is to root then ive been reading some issues on rooting and wanted to make sure. if i use bubby's method would i loose sound like on attn1's method? im not planning on flashing anything after that so i will not lose hsupa? at the end of the rooting process what will i have the stock rom rooted with all att apps or the downgraded desire rom? and last how do i unroot and/or return to stock after this? again asuming i use bubby's method. thanks for all help in advance and sorry for all these questions i have done some reading on this great forum and wanted to make sure i understood correctly before doing anything

Check out my guide, it has a side loading apps section. You cannot root and s-off with out making a gold card. You can use bubby's GUI but its the same process essentially. If you haven't rooted you don't hsupa anyways, and only "some" people loose hsupa. After you root you will have a stock rooted inspire rom with att bloatware still installed. Also in the guide as well.
I like you didn't really want to root this phone... I had a captivate prior to this and never really bothered installing different roms. Basically just used andromeda.
But seriously, rooting this phone is much easier than it looks. It's just takes a min
There are also some pretty sweet roms floating around.

You'll need to flash a custom rom/kernel for the volume fix unless there's a Froyo version of something like this floating around somewhere that you'd just be able to sideload.

It's a great phone out-of-the-box, no doubt about it, and there's nothing wrong with waiting a while before rooting.
Learn how the phone behaves normally, make sure there's no manufacturing flaws, etc.
Chances are, though, seeing as you have already identified the limitation of being unable to side-load, you will eventually root.
It's a piece of cake, as long as you have your head clear and follow the process to the letter.

Rom needs to be deodexed. Otherwise framework wont be themed.

Yes. ROMs increase your battery life due to custom kernels being undervolted blah blah blah [there are 10 other threads about why rooting is beneficial.. im not going to paraphrase all of it. if you want to know, search for it]
Just do it. There are no bricks of a Nexus S unless you're using Odin and flashing things not for your phone. I'd stay away from Odin if you don't know what you're doing. Nexus S is easy to root/modify/play with.
It would be pretty cool to see themes on stock. just saying.

v go to 3rd party sites cuz everyone is not tech savvy .. people like me are still learning .. so if i just follow instructions here i dnt even know what i'm doing or what the next step shud luk like on my screen .. i dnt even knw if im doin it right .. thts y a help with pics or videos is a great help ..
for u it must b a piece of cake but not for all .. yes mayb after rooting it safely n playing with roms then even ill b pretty confident tht i dnt need pics as a guide or a video tutorial ..
but the fact that sum1 has made a video tutorial means that people have asked for it n lot of people need it !!!
Hello everybody.
I've reading the Infuse thread for some time now.
I saw some recurring themes that I would like to write about.
I came up with a survey that I think may be helpful.
(Try to see the humor in it.)
Here is the question: Do I need to root my phone; do I need a custom ROM?
Do you use your phone to make phone calls? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone for texting ? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone for light surfing? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone for simple games? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as a PDA? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as an alarm clock? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as a camcorder? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as to take pictures? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your e-mail to work correctly? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your APN not be screwed up? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your bluetooth to work perfectly? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your phone to work right out of the box? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
However,
Are you a tinkerer? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Are you curious and want to learn? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you like boot loops? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you like to brick your phone? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you think you're a closet geek/nerd? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you have ADHD? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you have OCD? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you have a need for constant stimulation? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you like to frustrate yourself? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
do you want to be a dev? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you secretly want to be a top geek/nerd? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you want other geek/nerd to pay homage? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you not have a hot gf to play with? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get off of messing up a perfectly working phone to get a semi-functioning phone? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you find yourself stroking your phone calling it my precious? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get off on getting thanks from XDA members? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get off on getting your phone out of soft brick? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get a chubby when you put your USB jig to get your phone out of boot loop? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you care if the display of the phone is a nansosecond faster than the way it is? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Are you a newbie that like to start a new thread about bricking your phone? Yes, you need to root and load a custom ROM.
In the process of coming up with this survey, I have concluded that it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what phone model, what brand, what CPU or graphics or dual cores and what not...
It doesn't make a whole lot of difference if it's FROYO, GB, HC, ICS or FRIED DONUTS IN BUTTER AND LARD,
It's all about the addiction and the obsession.

This *****ing is seriously getting old...GTFO and quit bumping this thread if you don't want to see it, it's that simple...****in **** ppl
Hey, I really apologize if I had offended anybody.
Honestly.
Mea culpa.
That was never my intention to insult or offend anyone.
You guys are really taking this way too seriously.
I wrote it as an attempt at humor in the general section and the Q/A section...not in the DEV thread, out of respect.
As I was trying to help new users out, I was running into the same questions over and over again.
If some of these guys would just read a few pages instead of asking the same questions over and over again. If they had bothered to surfed through the threads, they could have seen it.
I wrote it as a tongue in cheek comment...poking fun of myself as I had tried to learn the android and custom rom process. I had soft bricked and boot looped my phone plenty of times. I got a usb jig. I had read up on acid, thunderbolt and adrenaline etc..and opened up roms to try to understand it as well. I was poking fun at myself in the process. Until this August, I owned a flip phone and thought it was the bomb.
If you can't really see the comment as a funny for what it is, I apologize. I mean it. Take it to heart and move on.....
anyway,
Have a Joyous Season with your family and friends...
fwiw, I will enjoy my infuse for the next two years...
running what ever rom that works...
and for the record..I REALLY do appreciate the works of all the "giants" that have contributed to this phone...you guys know who you are...THANKS.
That my friend was perfect.. honestly.. So true.. everything up there is just hilarious. I don't understand how you couldn't see the humor in it.. Getting off to the usb as you stick it in your phone.. I loved every minute of that (reading the post.... and maybe other undisclosed things I WILL NOT mention here..... ). Thank you for bringing some comic relief to the barrage of the same old questions getting asked 500 different times/ways in 800 threads. I wish that I had thought to make that first.
Cute. Nice humor. LQOTI (laughing quietly on the inside)

Pay you to root his phone!? How much is this individual paying? lol If you have to send someone your phone to root, you shouldn't be rooting in the first place...
Easy money with FROYO. Lost1 has a stickied post in the Q/A that will root and give you the unlock code also.
Maybe you can get some more cash for the unlock also bubba.
If he/she gives you a GB UCKK3 or later ...watchout. It can be a headache.

His is stock. I doubt it even got the ota update back around Nov. I kind of feel sorry for him . He said qb777 would do it for him, but he was looking for someone closer. No idea why distance matters. What should I charge?
Sent from my High Tech Redneck Infuse Thingy powered by Zeus 5.2 King of ROMs
Heh. I remember back in the day a buddy of mine used to take and jailbreak people's touches for ten bucks. Then, to make it so that they could actually use it with appulous or whatever it was called, he would charge an extra 5.. I think. So 15 bucks to jailbreak an iPod 2nd gen.. then eventually they got smart and realized that it was the easiest thing in the world..
And I'm sure that distance matters because he would get it back quicker.. No! You're not rooting my phone.. lol.... wow. Sad.

Welcome to our happy, growing family!
Not to sound rude or anything, but you did notice the stock deodexed rom in the dev section? And the multiple deodexed roms currently available for the A2? So, yea, it has been done.. and can be done by anyone with the resourcefulness required.
In fact, just finished deodexing the stock framework files myself.. (i'm starting fresh from my wife's stock 2.3.6 )... so, yup.. you, too can do it.
P.S. The latest version of xUltimate actually let's you do it without connecting your phone via usb..
Feel free to PM me if you want some specifics of how i make it work..

Thnx a lot!! Yep, I know that is a CMW Backup deodexed, but like you, I wanna do it my self. And for the modded roms, I tried Supercharger for like a month, but my phone was to hot (literally, the CPU was working always at 50% load) and had to recharge the battery twice a day... so I decide back to stock rom and make some tweaks my self.
So, I'll give a try soon, if I need help, I'll be pm u

Hello!
Is there any guide that can show me how I can flash a stock ROM on my HTC One? I just want to change one stock rom with another one, that's all. I don't want to unlock it, root it, customize it or anything like that...
I have an unlocked phone bought from a phone company. When I start it, it shows the phone company's logo etc, instead of the Quietly brilliant thing etc. But it is not locked on that network.
So, I want to flash it with a stock ROM and upgrade to 4.2 while I do this. I am already downloading "Stock_Odex_2.24.709.1_Final.zip".
I have found a lot of tutorials on unlocking, custom ROM, changin recovery etc, but I just want to change one stock ROM with another stock ROM, that's all.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thank you,
Isro
It isn't possible to flash another ROM, neither Custom nor Stock, without having root access. I'm sorry but to remove the branding, you have to root your phone.
