Creating a gold card - HTC Inspire 4G

Okay, I've done a lot of searching on creating a gold card to begin the root of my Inspire. I flashed my Tilt2 more times than I can remember but the process for the Inspire is a little confusing for me. So far I've been unable to find any type of guide or steps to create the gold card. All of the posts I've found hit all around the subject but none say how to do it, start to finish. Any guidance or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Check the sticky in the general section. It should help

Duh, I read right over what is typed in parentheses over One Click and the Hack kit a million times and never saw it. Thanks anyway

Still need help just let me know

I haven't rooted yet, but have been doing some more intense research lately and felt the same way. I can tell you, you need to watch the video. It gives you everything you need and shows that it is easier than it sounds.

the directions are in the hack kit/one click and the gold card maker.

Go to page 124 of the hack kit thread and read my post....hopefully that helps! Its really easy once you get started.

The instructions and videos say they are outdated. Is that something to worry about?

Not it all...just read the begining steps in the effen manual...which is in the zip...and once you start its as easy as.....type the number 1, hit enter....do a little copy and paste and send an email, and a one more copy and paste...then type number 2, hit enter....after awhile...and maybe a reboot or two, type number 3 hit enter.....its that simple
EDIT: Those aren't the exact steps...I might have missed one more number 1, and enter....but its close..haha

Look. Its simple as downloading the hack kit. Open up the read me and reading it.

SIMPLE 1 click root for HTC Inspire

I will not take any credit for the link below, but i wanted to share this with everyone.....It is by far the easiest rooting for the HTC Inspire....
You follow instructions, and all will be well.
only have to have the following before hand:
1) HTC drivers for your phone installed on the computer (get that by installing HTC Sync.....then you uninstall the HTC sync program w/o removing the drivers)...you can't have HTC Sync when you are doing this on your computer.
2) get the latest .net framework.
http://www.dailyappnews.com/2011/03/13543/root-htc-inspire-4g-soff-click-root-tool/
Good luck to everyone....
Here is the problems i have had which i have fixed thanks to some snazzy guys in here that helped me:
1) GPS was not working for me, but i installed the ginger bread Radio in the place of AT&T's radio....then all worked fine.
Check the source for their article out. It is about 20 posts below yours in this very forum.

It's not about pounding you...well, maybe a little.
The idea is that you may want to get to know both your audience, and the subject of your news flash a little beforehand, that way you can be sure they're not one-and-the-same.

LOL, in retrospect, not the best choice of words, but, after all, I was merely repeating the use of the word "pound" by the OP.

Sorry about people pounding you over this...but they always say before posting to use the search feature...but for this example reading the article would have actually done just as well...but to be honest I tried using that to root a friends Inspire (after I used the hack kit) thinking it would be easy...It failed halfway through and I had to break out the hack kit and finish it manually
My question is why you you post this in the guide just to be told its already posted. Then come here and post it again? No offence but it seems a tad bit redundant.

Is there someway of rooting a phone directly from the phone?

I have a friend who said another friend of his, taught him, but he forgot.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
With some phones its possible...but not the Inspire due to the downgrade during the rooting process.

It's not necessarily better, it was, at one time, simpler to use.
That's changed. The hack kit has gotten easier as of late. It was also the original rooting method and offers a level of precision in performing certain actions that bubby's doesn't allow for, if I'm not mistaken.
Either way, it's not going to be a one-click event, there are steps you need to do correctly or neither one will work, primarily the making of a gold card.

Yea there is no way to root from the phone for the inspire. As stated above you have to downgrade so a computer is necessary. I used the hack kit for my first root that wasn't a simple one click root. It was very simple to use. There are plenty of tutorials on it and its very self explanatory with those. I had a little trouble on windows but swapped to my mac and it went flawlessly. Good luck with rooting. Use xda its your friend and search before you ask. People tend not to be kind if the answer is easy to find. If you have any questions you cant find an answer for ask around here there are plenty of experienced people to help you out around here and are plenty of great devs. Good luck enjoy the inspire i know i do.

The menu driven hack kit is so simple, as long as you read the manual a few times you will fine.

Do you have a current link to the hack kit and the effen manual??? Sadly I have been unable to locate it.
YouTube has some good videos. The whole process is not hard at all. If you can read and copy/paste, you'll be fine.

Yeah had mine for nine months too and also feels almost a year...hmm
I rooted my inspire on my MacBook pro using bootcamp on a fresh install of windows7 ultimate.
So you can try that and use the hack kit, since win7 is fresh there were no conflicting apps that the effen manual warns you about.Rooted just about under 5 minutes.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
It works on Mac too. Just be sure to fully read the manual. Also make sure hack kit and its entire contents are extracted to the directory you will run it from, otherwise it won't work.

[Q] Rooting Inspire 4g - Ace hack kit removed

Hey all. I've searched all over for a root for my gfs Inspire. Everything I find points me to the Ace hack kit. However, it looks like that tool was removed. Can anyone repost the files/guide? I can't find the info anywhere.
Thanks a million.

ya, selfishness and laziness cost us the person that gave us all the tool that actually let us do so much more with our phones not to mention his constant hours of support to help those with problems. xda really should be either a paid membership or invite only. the ppl too lazy to follow rules wont be missed if they cant access the forum. /endrant

No more Hack Kit in XDA..is not about Inspire or DHD....is about XDA....that is unfortunate, but it will probably draw the attention of the people round here!...at least I hope.
It is always sad to see a valued member leave. I wasn't aware of his work as I spend most of my time in the atrix 2 forum.
Are there any other known methods for rooting the inspire? My gfs phone is nearing unusable with the constant reboots. I have yet to find any information on fixing that issue as well. She has only had the phone about a month. Any input would be appreciated.

Well, before rooting is always good to check that the device has no hardware issues. Try doing a factory reset and see what happens. Try pulling the sdcard and see how it behaves for a day.
If is still misbehaving, then take it to warranty....rooting will not fix hardware issues. Then, when u are sure that no hardware issues are the cause of the problems, come and visit us in the IRC channel in my signature...the Hack Kit is still there....

Also if I'm allowed to put my two cents in here... but charge to 100% and as it dies check the percentage if it reboots write down the percent. Do it until it dies fully charge it and repeat. If the numbers match up its the battery I had bought this phone used. It rebooted at 96% and 42%. Got a new battery and no more random reboots
