So my Sensation 4g is only my 2nd Android phone... G2 being the first and i've decided to start modding this one. Last night I followed the 4 steps to get the phone switched to s-off and then rooted. I'm looking into a new rom for the phone. I like all the videos and stuff i see for CM7 but it seems like it may be a min for that to drop a release. Do you guys have anything else you suggest? Also any particular app's? I've instated Bloat Freezer and a couple others to try and trim the HTC Sense 3.0 fat. Thank you in advance
Download a sensless ROM.
And I only use 1 root app, titanium backup. Comes in handy a lot, and can save u data.

Do I need TI back up if I already have CWM?
If you dont want all the nice graphics from Sense roms go with No-sense like the other person suggested. If you like Sense, then you can try any rom out there. I really like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I was using CM roms on all my other phones, but I guess porting it to this phone is taking a little longer and not everything is working properly.
There is a difference between TI Backup and CWM. CWM will back up the complete rom with all your setting and apps, TI back up will back up your apps with data and when you jump from ROM to ROM you can restore with TI back up all your apps with data just like you had them before flashing another ROM.
I would recommend getting the paid version of TI backup, the one click install saves you a lot of time.
Welcome to Android modding.

TI Backup can backup all your app+system data, so that if/when you install a new ROM you can restore your apps and any data you want to. CWM is good for essentially saving an entire ROM, but it can't help with restoring apps+data onto a new ROM.

Android Revolution is getting an update today, you may want to check that out.
Thank you everyone for the responses. I'm going to do some more research and maybe switch rom's over the weekend.

OVER THE WEEKEND?!
your missing out.
J/K, get it done when you have time to read the guides, you'll have a better outcome.
You really can't go wrong around here. So many great devs. As long as you're careful you can try out all of their releases. Right now I'm on InsertCoin 2.2.2 on the stock kernel and it's perfect.
It's probably not needed right now, but you might end up picking up Root Explorer someday for the occasional dev-recommended file edit.

And this is why I need to research... I'm still learning so this is all so new to me.
so many questions....
ok so i think i finally found the rom.... eaglesblood. i mean come on with a name like that it has to be pretty amazing.... and it seems to have good feedback. my other questions are what are radios? and i see a bunch of other "mods" should i just take my time and add everything? also i use my phone for gps so that is important to me is there anything i can do to garantee that it works?
sorry for all the questions i just wanna make sure i dont lose any functionality
Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?
please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock
This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine
Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?
Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?
you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section
Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?
did you touch the android to begin?
Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

Its been available for I think over 2 months now. ATT just sucks. But yes, there is an official GB update but that update has been on the forums as an unofficial release (KK4) for a long while. I highly recommend the update and then I recommend immedaitely flashing a custom rom as the stock update isnt much of an improvement upon 2.2 Froyo.

Has anyone tried this ROM for a decent amount of time yet? I'm just curious for stability purposes. I'm having decent luck with ICS, but until things smooth out a little, I'm contemplating just switching to something stable. I have no idea if this meets that description though
Yep. Have it rooted with corn kernel and its smooth and fast enough for me.

The "official" upgrade is the KK4 build that leaked about 3 months ago. They're exactly the same. So if you've tried the stock KK4 or any KK4-based custom ROM then you've experienced it.
I'm running a KK4-based ROM. It's reasonably stable; however, it's much smoother and (for me) more stable if you flash the most recent Corn kernel (7.06) on top of it.

I downloaded and finally got GB installed last night. However, I tried to root with super one click but it stops on step 7. Sounds like a lot of people have had this issue. How are you rooting? I'm pretty noob with this stuff, so I'd prefer something like one click rather than odin.

It's not that I didn't search (in fact I already discovered the thread you linked to), it's that we're looking for a one-click method rather than using odin. Are there any solutions for the problems we're having with Super One Click? Or perhaps another one-click solution that we're not familiar with?
There are two threads in this forum just below this one that provide all the info and files you need. Take a look. Worked for me ( and thanks to OPs for that). Flash gb, then a kernel that gives you root. I tried a few, like corn 7x best. Were not any one clicks out there for gb root a month ago, may not be yet.

Download the kernel file directly to your phone, use an app from market to flash it, no odin. Try SGS.

There are no one click methods that I know of. You really should learn to use Odin. Its not hard at all and opens alot of doors as to what you can do with your phones. I mean, its laid out step by step in that thread. Just follow instructions. I imagine we all can do that.
Thanks for all the info guys. I followed the instructions from the link below and everything went smoothly. Thanks again for all the input.

I screwed up and put vibrant firmware on the S 4g and now the phone stuck in a boot loop. It seems like I can still connect to the phone using Odin. So my guess is that I have to put the stock software back. Any help identifying the right file? Whatever I can find is all for rooted phones and for Voodoo.
I didn't root the phone, so I don't know if I can flash it with anything but stock. I don't know what Voodoo is, but I didn't install it.
You can flash any odin flashable rom.....look in the stickies in the developement section.....but some say you should flash a stock rom.....i flash back to ravers stock gb rom when i feel a need

You rock, dude! Thanks a lot!
The phone is operational after I completed steps 1-8b. I wasn't sure if I needed to do the rest since I don't have a "favorite GB ROM". Nor do I know what it is for that matter . I guess I need to do some reading during my spare time unless you care to tell me what GB ROM is and what my favorite GB ROM should be.
So, what do I have on my phone after these steps? What's kc1 and k6? Am I rooted at this point?

KC1 is Froyo and KJ6 is GB.
Finally it occurred to me that gb is Gingerbread...
The question remains: Am I rooted at this point? Also, is the GB FBis251 recommended pure stock or with some additional flavor? Why doesn't kies recognize the phone?
I recommend you stay on Gingerbread. Follow the guide all the way through and you'll be on rooted stock KJ6 (Gingerbread 2.3.6). You can also try out some custom ROMs at that point. Check out the development section, there are around 5 actively developed roms right now.

Hi all,
I am new to this community and new to smartphone.Very recently i got Inspire 4g with android version 2.3.3.I am very much interested in updating it to ICS.But from internet sources i have heard that HTC will most probably not give updates to Inspire 4g.So,the only option left to me is rooting.So,can someone kindly suggest me actually how to root my android device to ICS from scratch.I know nothing regarding rooting except that rooting gives administrator privileges.
Any help is appreciated,

Inspire will NOT get an ICS rom officially. You can only run roms after rooting. HTC is not releasing an ics update for our phones, the desirehd will get one but you can only take advantage of that if you are rooted. and as mentioned please do a bit more searching, as all of your questions have been asked many times.
Another thing to keep in mind before flashing/installing an ICS rom, there is not a single ICS rom that is fully functional at the moment. With most of the ICS roms besides small bugs here and there (that is if they still have any) either the camera or videocamara or both do not work and will not work until the dhd gets the update. Most of the roms in the dhd forum will work with the inspire.
As i ha already been mentioned, read and rea some more. You'll find a lot of nice "toys" to play with.

Just like the 2 members said ics has some bugs I used it from some other devs and from having a good cam and video to work was important to me and yes you can use 3 rd party but was not all that good.
Also understand the importance of backups this is some info I posted else where but its nothing special may help or so...
No need to say sorry lol...your ok just hate so the new ones get cyber yelled at by some mod and close your thread and not getting your answer.
But even though it maybe not be for the rom that your running but also check out the Q&As of those Roms.
And also I know the htc inspire thread for ROMs is always on top of the game here but just letting you know as well Desire HD forums is I would say you should go for the most recent ROMs and updates etc.. And yes Desire HD can be used for the Htc Inspire so thats where Im at for the most part..
But if you ever get a boot loop form a rom you flash make sure you fully wipe (sorry just funny every time.you will see what I mean) from rom to rom unless other wise...If you still happen to have the PD98IMG file still on your sd card happens when you 1st root and for get that its there delete I use Es File Explorer to find whats on the sd card there are others astro file manager. Also This happen to me once when I flash scripts,gps fix, kernels then the rom that I was going to use and it just totally F'd my phone or re boots random or just gets stuck on the htc screen..
But I had made this post for another user (new) maybe this may help:
So this is an idea of what I do when I flash a rom and some other ideas/tips.
Getting Started or Flashing A Rom:
Once you root your phone (this is not in any order really) you should get ROM Manager aka Clock Work Mod. Once you get that, open the CWM and the first top half you will see flash clockworkmod recovery make sure your on wifi I would at least for the updates. You will see a dialog box click desire hd. This will allow you to make back ups of your settings that you made when you flash a rom its always a good idea to make your backups its a life save!! So, once you made your back up and this is what I do.. I plug in my phone to the pc switch to disk mode which will let you see whats on your sd card. Since you flash the CWM and recovery you will see on your sd card a folder called clockworkmod open then backups folder you will see you back that you made, drag and drop that backup file that you made to your fold that you made on pc to save it for later. And thats pretty much how I save my backups of roms etc.. Now if you need to load that back up just plug phone in disk mode cwm fold>backup drag and drop back up that you need. And boot into recovery mode and select back up and restore and select restore and the file boot and your good..
I would download which Rom I would like to use. Save it to pc to a folder that I have made that I store all my roms, backups,radios & rils, kernels..etc.. just to keep myself organized. Once you get your rom just drag and drop it to the ROOT of the sd card do NOT add it in any folder thats on the sd card. Once you have it on the card just boot into recovery flash your rom.. Other then that its easy to flash the rom.. And when you get all your settings set up make a back up and when done save it to the pc and delete it from the sd card if you dont want to keep on the card I do that..
When it comes to battery life it depends on what the rom.. But I like to use killers http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=killersolth scripts for the kernels.. For me I always flash a different kernel upon flashing a new rom. For me having the kernel and killers script is the best combo for me to have for performance and battery life.. now since I have inspire I use the uv lites scripts.
For the most part flashing radios & Rils you would never really need to do that so I wouldnt recommend it for now maybe later but read about it its good to know what it does..
Other sides which I for got to add.. When you flash a new rom its always good to wipe user data.,cache, delvik it makes it for a good clean install with other roms..
Also the desire HD thread which the inspire can use the roms from that thread to.
Well I hope this helps you in any way.. if you need help PM me best of luck

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!
Well once you root your phone its rooted just can't add a stock Rom to it to make it stock. There is thread in the inspire forum called returning to stock or something like that like as in stock out of the box the members name is genepool I think I had to use that to unroot ny friends phone it was very easy ... So keep in mind that you need to unroot to go back to out of the box stock Rom.
As you may know as my other post always make a recovery of what you have on your phone just in case.
Sandy I also messaged you about your ?s to the ICS roms

your best bet (imo) would be to check out the ace hack root kit...and read that thing repeatedly...that's what I used to root mine...as for roms go...every ics rom as stated before has some sort of bugs or errors...you will just have to try some that you like the best.....keep in mind to ALWAYS backup...backup...and backup again to be sure in case you jack something up...this site has TONS of info if you search for it..lol
Thanks all for your replies.
So,should i wait till desire hd gets a stable rom or what?
Another thing to keep in mind before flashing/installing an ICS rom, there is not a single ICS rom that is fully functional at the moment. With most of the ICS roms besides small bugs here and there (that is if they still have any) either the camera or videocamara or both do not work and will not work until the dhd gets the update

There are a few good ics roms, but none will be rock solid until its released officially to the DHD. Then we can have some goodness here on the inspire. The few that are out there are solid enough for now.
Welcome to xda, big rule is to learn to search. That question could have been answered very quickly by searching. I won't give you the names of the Ics roms out currently for that same reason. Search and ye shall find.

It's not the problem with searching but confusion as i am very new to smartphone,infact it's my first smartphone.Most of the guys in this forum own like above more than 2-3 smartphones.so,there won't be a issue fixing things and knowing things.
That's why i constantly ask doubts and ask for senior suggestions like you people,hope you don't mind and keep giving me your valuable suggestions as always you do.
Thanks.

My friend so will all the replies and input I would say find what rom you like or seems very popular so if you need anything you know that thread is "alive", root your phone, backup, and flash the rom that you pick out. Once you do that go through all the set up.. and take that backup and save it to your pc(thats what I do) not to throw you off track here but there is kernels that will help out battery life like I stated in one of post. I would also look into kernels, which kernels are very easy to flash and scripts to match with the kernel but I think your ready
I have been watching this video to unroot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0eMcpoTPMU in case if i screw up something.I have a doubt with what the guy is doing.In that he downloads the Froyo Stock rom from internet.But,my doubt is what if we alreay have the file with us,how can we flash it.I have downloaded the stock rom(Gb) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507&highlight=inspire+s-on.
So,how to flash the above file?
Thanks in advance!!

Ok, if you want to revert to stock and S-ON use Gene´s Method. Put the file (named PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and the boot in hboot.
Never flash a froyo RUU if your phone is running GB. You will mess the bootloader. DON´T USE YOUTUBE TUTORIALS, just do the homework and read.
Have in mind that if you mess your phone no one but you will care. You can also use the last version of the Hack Kit to revert to stock and S-ON....
Thanks for the reply,Yes,i downloaded the gb stock as i was shipped with it.
My phone is an unlocked one.Will i have any problem while rooting,please advice as I am thinking that the stage is set for me to root my device and flash an ICS rom.
Thanks in advance!!

Your phone is an unlocked one? Where did you buy it from?
This is quickly turning into a "please hold my hand while I root" thread....
