I've been poking around the gfree and wpthis source and have gotten a gfree matched to the current Inspire kernel/radio combination. It runs fine, finds it's address offsets, etc. but I'm still a little afraid to try it with any options that actually write anything.
I'm not too familiar with ARM opcodes so I'm not exactly sure what gfree is changing. It appears to force a branch to do the opposite to prevent a kernel "bug()" call which would lockup the device, but I'm not sure what part of the kernel memory is being modified.
It does appear that it is unlocking the eMMC which at the least could be a route to a S-ON root method (like with the Aria) if used to flash a custom recovery.
Is there any actual documentation on what gfree is doing or does anyone who has poked around the code have any comments?
This should be in other forum. Thread moved.

You sure about that?
If this isn't development-related, I don't know what is.
I'm confused too. I'm working with this specifically as an alternate rooting method for the Inspire only.

It's not often you find yourself questioning why a thread is in the *general* section.
Seriously, your target audience resides in the dev section, where you had originally posted it, and this should be moved back.
I think I will have to agree on this one. Though I would probably send a pm to attn1 since he was working on it for the inspire.
After spending way too much time in the IRC chat with attn1 et al, we've come to the conclusion that HTC has gimped this in the OTA update. They've silently closed the eMMC write protect hole that is used in the downgrade ROM with gfree and would have worked with the stock ROM before the OTA update, but we'll have to work a new angle in the OTA updated Inspires.

It wasn't posted here originally. It was moved here by a mod.
Mr. Clown probably got confused because I posted it as a question.
May I suggest a title change somethign along the lines of
[dev][work in progress] Create a working g-free for the inspire ?
I will if I start a new thread. So far, this looks like a dead end as far as Inspires runing the OTA update (which should be most stock Inspires by now).
what if the process started with using the pd98img to ruu back to the previous version 1.80, instead of downgrading the rom and radio to the desire ones.

Attn1 and I talked about that and decided that if you've gotta downgrade anyway, what's the difference, but when I get a chance, I'll try it with that setup just to see. At the least, with that downgrade, you'd still have a fully functional Inspire once rooted.

that's what I was thinking, that was the bad part about downgrading, if I hadn't flashed a rom and some one called I was sol. It might prevent some of the "I have no sound after rooting" threads.

Ha ha. No worries, everyone is excited about this. Just trying to keep people from getting confused!
What we know:
1) Originally, on March 18, they had a "dirty" perm-root method that required loading an old version of the software. This gave root, but no S-OFF and no way to load a custom recovery. There are instructions posted for this method.
2) Late last night, they managed to find a "new" root method and gives S-OFF and allows loading a custom recovery. This news is posted in the link in the OP of this thread. At this time, they have not yet posted the method for doing this. I expect we'll see it later today when they wake up. LOL
So patience guys and gals, we'll have FULL root, S-OFF, and custom recovery of our TBs very soon!

Anything that is faster than the ****ing root time on the Incredible is fine by me. That was a painful thing to wait for.
I have been following the developement on the andirc channel. these guys are amazing! As long as HTC's software policies remain what they are today, I will no longer be purchasing moto phones. I had to suffer through the DX's bootloader fiasco after coming from the OG D1. DX devs made it bearable, but custom kernals...no. Thanks for all the work jcase and company!
I'm a relative newb as far as hacking and even I got root + S-OFF + unlocked eMMC + Clockwork, etc working as per the rooting instructions updated today on AndroidPolice. It has been done and these guys and gals are that much more amazing for it.
The only question is: how the hell do you select an option in Clockwork recovery? On my Droid I could use the camera button, but here the Power, Home, and Menu button all just hide the menu. Vol keys only scroll. /confused
I haven't actually rooted mine yet as I'm a wuss and waiting for a one-click, but I read tonight that Kousch (sp?) already made an updated CWM to fix that issue on the TB. Maybe try updating via ROM Manager?

I'm right there with you, I rooted my D1 back before any of the oneclick solutions existed using the Motorola flashing software. I extremely tempted to try installing abd on my Linux machine and give it a shot but I'm a little scared too having never used adb before. And it seems that there's still. A few bugs to work out so I will let them get those straight. I'm hoping too one click root by Tuesday and ROM by months end. Hopefully on CM7.x
Also hi everyone! Been lurking here since I picked up the thunderbolt Thursday morning. Can't wait to crack this thing open. SenseUI is driving me nuts.
Rooted and removed bloat from my TB! I love it!
Hello Board Members. I just signed up today as I picked up my TB yesterday. I'm a former iPhone user (since 2009) and then went to Verizon for a Droid X. This new phone came out, so we dropped the X and went for the TB. Just my short intro to the Android world.
Anywho, for those that rooted the TB, was it a painless process? And the instructions posted on the AndroidPolice post (saw it in Google), do I run all of this from the TB or on the computer?
I'm a bit confused. I've been reading online for a while, and don't fully understand the ROMs available and what not. (I am a computer programmer, so I'm fairly tech savvy).
Basically, my evo shift has 2.3.3. I did a factory reset hoping it would back down to 2.2, but it did not. Now, I'd like to install 2.2 so I can root my phone. Is there a way I can do this? I've also seen a few roms (ie: evervolv) that are rooted. How can I install these (i'm using a mac).
Also, what do you guys recommend? Should I install a ROM, downgrade to 2.2 (how?) and root, etc?
Thanks!
You cannot downgrade to Froyo.. Sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218580

You can only temp root right now with 2.3 on the Shift. A factory reset just wipes everything and basically gives you a clean OS...it's like getting a new phone. The good folks at HTC should be releasing the the source code and kernel between now and EOL of the phone.

Yeah, I've read lots. I posted because it's good to have clarification.
I've read that you cannot "downgrade" to 2.2 from 2.3, but that doesn't necessarily answer my question if I can flash a 2.2 ROM..
I know 2.3.3 isn't rooted yet, but that doesn't necessarily mean I can't flash a ROM with an older, rooted version (very common in modchips for gaming systems.. If the company releases an update, you can usually re-flash the chip to the old update and be good to go).
So, it seems that if my phone is 2.3, my *ONLY* option is to temp root, is that correct (impossible to reflash, reprogram, etc)?

You need root and recovery (or the old hboot) in order to flash anything. So yes, until a new root method is found your only option is to temp root.

I checked the forums and it seems some people pissed the the guy off and he closed the thread as of 11/16/11. But I don't see any links to the actual kit. Everything I read has been out dated and points back to that thread that has been closed. Can someone please direct me to it?
Also, this phone is already on Gingerbread. So can someone tell me the best tool to use to root if the phone is already on Gingerbread? Will the ACE Hack Kit work on a Gingerbread device? I also found Visionary at Modaco but it's only for Froyo.
Huh, interesting. I didn't realize the Hack Kit was removed. Looks like it was just taken down yesterday. That's a shame. That was really the best tool to use. I haven't seen any other tool for months. And I believe there are some changes in the Inspires manufactured in the past couple of months so the older methods may not work. I could be wrong about that though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if another dev pick up the torch and releases a new tool.

No. Since yours was a froyo version the old hboot won't cause issues. Even though you upgraded. It's something about the hardware in the new ones that is incompatible with the original hboot.

From what I've seen/read - it should work with new ones too, however the issue that comes up is with that hboot installed it will take 15-20 minutes to boot, and vibrate for like a full minute while booting, leading a lot of users to think they're hosed. From what I've read, patience is the key to using that method (full downgrade vs partial downgrade) with newer shipped devices. I can't speak from experience though

It only has to use that hboot to utilize the exploit to get s-off. A new hboot is flashed after s-off is gained - I believe.

Why yes, yes it is. Good day.
I couldn't find anything based on an Unroot thread, as well as some generalized questions.
SOMETIMES, phone devs, and the carriers, put out patches that actually correct some ugly known issues. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i root, i'm led to believe i can not download carrier patches and updates.
My concern is If I root and there's by chance some JESUS patch that is issued that corrects reception issues, power cycle, etc. Is there a way to unroot the device.
First post by the way, go easy.
Edit: OH also, I forgot to mention, from what im reading around 2.3.6 seems to be the current version out for at&t however i'm only on 2.3.5 i've tried pushing the update by checking through settings>updates. It's telling me however that there aren't any available? Or did they pull the update for some reason?

Thank you again for your advice
I used this root method (zergrush), and it was very simple and straightforward.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Now, i just have to figure out what ROM I want to apply...
Hey guys, new to the forum, literally first post.
I have an AT&T One X though i'm not even in the US and i'm considering rooting for a few reasons. I've been gathering my info and thinking it over before i decide to even try. I've read the pros and cons of rooting on a number of sites and i know most people here will be pro (if not all) lol.
What i read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237 -Top guide, will rate now that i am registered, a bit overwhelmingly though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153 - [Newbie Guide] adb/fastboot/bootloader/android 101
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784459 - HTC One XL Terminology Glossary v1.2 [2012/09/30] (filled in a few of those missed stuff)
Also the Wiki and some other random threads
For the rooting process: I spent a few hours reading most of djrbliss and hasoon2000 's rooting threads (because i'm on 2.20) and i'll go rate and thank them too even if i don't root in the end.
So basically what i actually want to know is there anything else i should look into before i get started?
I'm also undecided on a ROM as yet because i need it to have a few certain features though i'm not sure they are available in all or none
1) Ability to backup apps and app data (I believe Titanium Backup Does this, but i mostly wanted one to use BEFORE the rooting process)
2) Get rid of that bloatware (It's not really an issue as it can be disabled) but for the very least switching out the boot screen will work
3) Probably the most important is getting OTA updates (I can't get them in my country, because i'm not on ATT) and if i have to wipe to do an update i might as well switch to a ROM that doesn't have that problem.
Post is really long now that i look it over lol, thanks for reading.
Man I'm glad you've been doing research, it sounds like you at least have a grasp of what's gonna have to happen. You didn't mention if your on att, telus, rogers, ect. Att users have to go through the entire process, while all other carriers can just unlock through htcdev and flash twrp (recovery) then superuser (root).
Follow the guides carefully, don't be tooo nervous... if you get stuck, don't panic and start resetting everything... taking an extra minute to ask us on here will save you sometime later.. good luck

Well i'm on a local carrier in Trindad, but it's the AT&T One X, unlocked of course. So i would still have to do the entire process right? Or have i been wasting all my time overthinking this? -_-

From fastboot type "fastboot oem getcid" if it shows CWS__001 then yes you have to do the entire process.
Moderating from my One Xl
Or fastboot getvar cid.

I followed the HTC One X All In One Kit, and it doesn't seem to get the job done.
I get CID 111....
I got my code from HTC Dev
I drop bootloader unlock on there
but when I get to the recovery portion it says that it transfers correctly etc,
However, when I am in boot and click 'recovery' , i get a white HTC splash screen that says "quiety brilliant' that you normally see, but with some red disclaimer text below. It just hangs there until i do something.
What is wrong?

So you've completed the process on htcdev, and they emailed you the unlock token? Drop that in your fastboot/adb folder and use the command prompt that htcdev says (sorry I forget) ..
Once you do that you'll be bootloader unlocked... nothing fancy here yet... if your NOT on att, you should be able to download goomanager from play store and install recovery script.. now we playin with the puss! Download SU zip, install (flash) through recovery. Now you should be set up for flashing the goods..
Fellow xda'ers, please correct any wrong info I provided as I'm slightly buzzed lol

Okay, so it's been over a month and i finally got around to checking the CID and it's " CWS__001" as expected.
Will look to use Hasoon's tool and post my updates.
Thanks for the help from everyone so far.
Moving slowly as i was waiting to see the AT&T 4.1 update and still not seeing the ROM that i want for certain.

If you mean you are waiting to receive and install the JB OTA, you shouldn't wait. See item 2 on the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181929

I was waiting to see what it contained. Nothing I can use here in Trinidad. Since I have to wipe to update anyway I'll be looking for a better os. Clean ROM appears to be closest to what I want though i kinda need the OTA.
Will get to hasoon's tool soon enough.
Hey, quick question:
Is there a listing of ROMs where i can see what each one does? I kinda understand what CleanROM and Senseless do but most of the rest i don't understand. Searched around for what i'm asking for but i mostly just get a listing of available ROMS.

The OP for each (usually) gives a complete summary. I don't think anyone has collected them all, which would be pointless anyway because the devs are always updating them.

Okay thanks, i only asked because i think i saw one for the Endeavour. Will keep searching through.
Redpoints collection has most of the roms that are for our device with the exception of wildchilds Rom... Also you shouldn't find any intl one x roms in our forum I don't see any

Yep, i know about redpoint's guide, i have it open almost constantly, but it doesn't provide a description of what each ROM does, have to read through as Elvis suggested.
It's on XDA just not in this forum, it showed up as a result when i tried a google search.
Well I can tell you if you haveny noticed in original dev section most roms if not all are cm10.1 based or aosp based... In the regular dev section they're mostly sense 4+ roms with each having its own tweaks

those are my rom lists for the evita
please give thanks if these files are helpful, if not i think ill take them down and post them a different way.
Thanks to Divine and box (i'm not going to call you kittens :silly.
Something that just occurred to me though; do the telus and rogers ROMs have the restriction on tethering, reverse tethering and other android features? I noticed most of the developers are working from the AT&T ROM base which seem to have those restricted. (I could be misinterpreting)
Thanks Divine for that list, a bit confusing at first but i'm closer to my ROM choice. Still have a few questions:
1) Does cleanROM provide an OTA service? Or do i have to factory reset to do an update every time?
2) Viper seems to be highly rated for it's stability and features, however can i turn off all those themes? Plus what are all these features? I'm not sure i need them.
3) Rebelrom Senseless seems to be interesting too but what is the advantage of being closer to stock Android on an HTC device?(This one might be subjective)
4) I'm also liking the look of Hakta, so i'm asking if this one has OTA or have to factory reset to update as well?
I would ask the developers themselves but i'm too unimportant to post in their threads or pm them lol.
Thanks again to anyone who has the time to answer.
@ box YNWA! Though i'm not a Chelsea hater lol.
@ Divine that second link is hilarious, but you should warn persons about the volume of the first one, it almost blew my eardrums off. (I only use headphones)

1) clean Rom does not provide an ota service but you could expect one more full update for it then it'll be done with updates fir a while
2) viper comes basically stock it has a whole variety of themes you can choose..from my experience it's been amazing and great battery life with a great equalizer too for music(uses telus base I think)
3) rebel Rom keeps the sense camera and some other stck sense applications ..it basically gets rid of the sense launcher and you'd be on nova or your choice of an alternative launcher.. great battery life
4) hatka..is an interesting one, from my experience I didn't have any bugs and the audio is great with acid audio
Side notes: only one actual custom Rom is running the att jb base and that's clean Rom.. I think tethering works on every Rom but I couldn't promise..
And just consider yourself a loser unless you hate chelsea!
I've been a hatka user for quite some time and I must admit it is near flawless. It uses many battery/performance tweaks and when paired with elemental it's just beautiful. Plus it's the only rom with built it AC!D which is pretty much pure sex coming out of your headphones. Hope this helps!
