Ok, thats not in English! Wish this was as simple as jailbreaking an iPhone. Plug into computer, run app, install cydia, voilà!

Forgive my newbie question. Since this is just root.. Do we still have to use the side load wonder machine to get the app on in the first place? Rooting just allows us to do all the good stuff but att restrictions are still in place with out a custom rom?

Can't downgrade rom
Can't downgrade. When trying to downgrade the rom I get to HBOOT but its says "Model ID incorrect! Update fail!" Am I doing something wrong?

Will me rooting it and changing the radio allow me to use a tmobile sim card and if not do you have a way to unlock it?

The Radio S-OFF step allows you to SIM-unlock the phone.

I F'ing LOVE YOU

Attn1,
First of all many thanks for the hack kit, I knew it was possible and you made it happen.
Hoping you can also post directions on how to put the Inspire 4G back to stock in case we return our unit for whatever reason, mine would only be for a hardware defect.
Thanks again!!

This is probably a stupid question (but I'm new to rooting and such), but can you still use an sd card for data storage after utilizing it as a gold card?

Yes, absolutely.

I read in some gold card guide that while you could do that, it's better if you don't. I don't remember the reasoning though.

I quickly read through those instructions. I believe you need an emulator on your phone and I'm assuming there isn't one by default. Any suggestions?

I am confused right now, what is the gold card way everyone is talking about? When I rooted my Captivate(my first Android phone). I just used the odin3 one click root. Will this phone have that?

Easiest way to root and enable sideload

Maybe cause I'm use to the captivate but all this stuff seems confusing to me ...like gold card ? And recovery how does one get to recovery ? Etc what is the easiest way to root and enable sideload step by step if possible please

You should be done in less then an hour

I actually think the hack kit is easier. Plus you don't have to worry about cwm messing up.

I don't see how cwm is messing up? Just try to reflash it until it works. Or use the fix. Do you think rooting the phone with the desire hd method works? The easy one click tool? It includes visionary. Its the same phone, idk why it wouldn't.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Nope the inspire software closes the bug that allowed visionary to work. That's why the goldcard is needed so you can downgrade.

That seems exsessive. Why reflash until it works when you can just do it once and have it work. Not to mention some people have had to get engineering hboot just to get it to work.

I just wanted to add something about bubby's tool. I used that process to root my phone. Afterward, I could not get the GPS to work at all. So, I reflashed the stock ROM (via SD method) and used SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse to root the device. I have since loaded a Gingerbread ROM, but reloading stock (without losing S-off) fixed the GPS issue for me.
I guess the bigger news, and the point, is that the psneuter rooting process works on this device. I also used SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse to enable non-market apps on the stock ROM.

psneuter works because when you went back to stock you were still S-off.

That is what I was trying to convey in my post. The point really, is that you can skip the manual rooting and just reload the stock rom after the s-off steps. It may be beneficial for some people to know that.
Sometimes I just like to do things from scratch myself. If there was a simple s-off process that reloaded a stock rom, I would think some people would be interested in it. Of course, I realize there is a stock rom with simply root and s-off. In my situation, that rom did not have a working GPS for some reason.
I am sure there will be a point where the whole process gets easier anyway. I believe, at some point, somebody will find a way to get s-off without downgrading first.

I was trying to create my gold card tonight but kept getting card is already being used error after formatting and placing the SD card in my phone. That's what happens when I try to get the CID for the card that is. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

HI, guys you've really helped me with all my previous phones. I currently have an Att inspire, it's not rooted but I want to have access to install apk's on my phone everything else is okay.

[Q] question about bubby's guide

Is the second post that has the download for bubby's program the one i need to get if i am trying to root? I do have the new gingerbread official leak installed, but i decided it wasnt fast enough so decided to root.
thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406
If not, do i need to use another tool, and where can i find it?
Please and thanks! (i would've posted this in the above thread, but im still under 10 posts so cant post in the development forum)

I used it to root. His program runs you through everything, including the gold card stuff. Once you're finished, just flash whatever you want.

kk, well i just downloaded it just to see if my antivirus would quarantine rage like people said it would (i use avast internet security), but i checked the virus chest and all it has in it is some stuff from awhile back. Does this mean rage didnt get quarantined, or did avast just not even let me see the rage quarantine?

Wait, you have the AT&T (Cingular 2.47.502.7) GB ROM Installed as-is stock on a non-rooted Inspire? If so, then currently no rooting methods will work for you. You'll need to do it by hand with fre3vo instead of rage or psneuter.

ah kk, thank you. From what i have read Fr3vo is only a temp root, is that true? cause im going for full root so i can get a kingdom rom (it seems the fastest from what ive seen, and it has sense 3.0, which is a + for me)

Yeah its for temp root but you need temp root first in order to trick your phone into a downgrade then achieve full soff

ah kk, i think i will just wait a bit until bubby's is updated to be able to root my phone cause i dont wanna brick it on my first root ever. I'd probably ask someone here just to guide me through it through IM or something, but i tend to not be on at times when most would probably be on.

I don't see why it should matter. A gold card is a gold card.

Ok, so i had gotten the exception error message, and i found it out. the adb.exe from my first time of opening the program was still running, and stopping the CID process from running.

[Q] Goldcard Problem

Hello all. I formatted my goldcard and i think its back to a regular sd card. I tried to make it into another goldcard. I cant use my Inspire so all I have is the sd card adapter (It said that i could use that too). In the process i couldnt get the CID #. It told me to make sure i had the HTC sync drivers installed which i do. I installed them twice, rebooted my computer, I tried everything. Still nothing. I tried to flash a rom but it said installation aborted. Same with the full wipe zip. Anyone have any ideas what i could do? Please help, thank you.

Why do you need a gold card? The AAHK does it all for you.

Sorry for the ignorance but what is AAHK? And dont you need a goldcard to flash roms and such? I thought that was the reason it said installation aborted.

The only time a gold card is needed is when you first root the phone. It isn't needed to flash a rom once rooted. And if you check the Dev forum, you'll find out what the AAHK is.

Read the effen manual, or you won't be happy with the outcome.

To put it simply, AAHK means Advanced Ace Hack Kit.

Please for the love of all that is tech, learn what you are doing BEFORE you do it. Or like stated above. You will not be very happy but you,will have a nice paper weight

Exactly, Learn exactly what you're doing BEFORE you use the AAHK, lest you piss off ATTN1, then we're all screwed (The last time somebody pissed off ATTN1, he shut down development of the AAHK, dark days those were)

Sorry to all but some **** always goes wrong.

Ive flashed roms ,kernels ,everything then my phone started screwing up over like a night. one day perfectly fine, next day piece of crap. i never used the AAHK, i used bubbys method.

Ok well here is the thing. A gold card is only used once and then it can be discarded. It has nothing to do with any issues you are having now. I would reflash your ram and then do each mod one by one. What is going wrong?

Well I made a stupid mistake a while ago. I did a full wipe thinking of reflashing my rom not knowing that I didnt have a Rom in my SD card. So my phone gets stuck on the splash screen. So I use a sd card adapter instead of plugging my phone in charge only mode, usb debugging, etc.
Then I formatted my sd card and when I tried to flash a rom, in the process it said installation aborted. Same with the full wipe zip.
I just want to know what Im supposed to do in the AAHK. Do i do a certain thing, or the whole process? Because in the AAHK it tells me to plug phone to computer via USB port and stuff, but i cant do that.All i have now is the SD card adapter.

Did I brick my Inspire 4G?

I'm sure I haven't bricked this phone, because in the process of rooting it, it will eventually say it's S-OFF. But after getting to that point, I can choose Recovery in CWM and when it gets to the white screen with the green HTC logo, after about 4 seconds, it will fade to black. This has happened to 2 phones I've rooted. Luckily mine worked like a charm, but after the last 2...I'm afraid to root another one. Does this sound like a bad memory card, or maybe it's not a gold card? I've searched around and couldn't find an answer, so maybe someone here at XDA has experienced this problem and has an answer.
TIA

I quite don't get that....you can choose recovery in CWM?? what does that is supposed to mean? CWM is a custom recovery. I guess that you are probably refering to hboot. Anyway, if you are S-OFF, then you might not have a recovery installed, so flash a new one (use the guide in my signature or look for post # 7 in the Ace Think Tank in the general section of the Desire HD forum)
Make sure first that you are S-OFF for certain, if you are not, then you won't be able to flash anything at all. Then, try re running the Hack Kit again from the white splash screen as the manual tells you to.

Yes, I guess I did mean hboot. In the process of Recovery is when it will fail and there is a ROM loaded for it to recover from on the SD card. Is it possibly because it is looking for the clockworkmod/backup folder and there is not one? I just realized that maybe I can copy a backup from my phone (we have the same exact phone) and place in there if it's possible. I don't have access to the phone now, as it is a friends. Also, if it fades out at the white HTC logo and just gets hung up, there is no way to re-run the Hack Kit is there?

Just a question, are you sure that the phone is S-OFF? or has an unlocked bootlaoder? In either way you can flash recovery again from fastboot and then a custom rom again.
If you need help, I can lend you a hand via teamviewer..just let me know. :good:

ok. Good luck!

Ok glevitan, I believe the problem might be in the PD98IMG.zip that's on the root of my SD card. I noticed when the phone booted into hboot, it would display that the image file was wrong, or something to that effect and then would force an update, which would load the HTC spashscreen and then ultimately fade out. I figured it had a bad PD98IMG.zip file, so I found the original aahk-13012012.zip and extracted the PD98IMG.zip from there and overwrote the one in the root. It didn't work. A different story...I noticed on my Inspire 4G (working correctly, but hboot had same error, even though I could load recovery from there) that it wasn't finding the correct image either. I copied over the PD98IMG.zip onto my phone and now both phones are now fading out on the HTC splashscreen after about 4 seconds. This tells me that it's in the SD card, right? If so, any suggestions? Both phones were rooted using this version of aahk.
Edit: Also, with this new PD98IMG.zip image, hboot will go into the process of parsing for
[1] boot
[2] recovery
[3] radio_v2
Once this is done, I push Power to reboot and that's when I get the failure in the HTC splashscreen.
Edit: I noticed in the PD98IMG.zip there was no md5 file, so I stuck one in there and got my phone working (which is not the one with the original issue started in this thread) and was able to restore a nandroid backup. I put this same SD card in the original damaged phone and it didn't restore like mine did. I still think it's an SD card issue causing the HTC splashscreen fadeout, but don't know where to go know.
Also, my PD98IMG.zip only has a recovery.img and a recovery.md5 file in it. I noticed that the original aahk PD98IMG.zip has those along with a boot.img and a radio.img. Should those be in the PD98IMG.zip? I know this post was edited twice and is very jumbled, so if you can make sense of it and offer solutions, much obliged.

But again, I don't still get if the phone is S-OFF or not. If you are S-OFF there is no need to do all that process. Even, you can flash a RUU without using the PD98IMG way if you suspect that the sdcard is messed.
You can flash it over fastboot.... Anyway, you will have to flash this RUU (which is the gingerbread update 2.3.3 version of ATT. the lastest one, if you are not S-OFF will make things a bit harder for you to run the hack kit later): http://https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
Put the phone in fastboot usb (when in hboot, plug the phone and it should read fastboot usb in red, if not, just press power button to toggle to fastboot). Then, just run that .exe file and it should flash...

Anyway, you will have to flash this RUU (which is the gingerbread update 2.3.3 version of ATT. the lastest one, if you are not S-OFF will make things a bit harder for you to run the hack kit later): http://https://dl.dropbox.com/u/30674730/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_Cingular_US_2.47.502.7_Radio_12.56.60.25_26.10.04.03_M_release_200368_signed.exe
Put the phone in fastboot usb (when in hboot, plug the phone and it should read fastboot usb in red, if not, just press power button to toggle to fastboot). Then, just run that .exe file and it should flash...

Sorry, I thought I had said I was S-OFF. I can get my phone to be fastboot usb when hooked up with a usb in hboot, but can't reflash aahk or anything computer related. It just doesn't seem to recognize anything on the PC.
Edit: And I apologize glevitan, I've searched and found a couple of threads related to the black screen after the HTC logo, so I know you guys have helped and explained this numerous times before. I just couldn't get any of the suggestions from those threads to work out. Thanks for any help you may input.

I was having a similar problem, I'm not too sure if it relates to what your experiencing. But I was trying to gain s-off my hboot was in fact unlocked but was still s-on. I was reading around and flashed a few boot.img with fast boot. I had that problem where htc screen would show then fade to black, and then stay black.
What I did was (I had installed recovery pretty early on) I did a factory reset in recovery then went to restore. Prior to this thank god I had transfered my nandroids to the pc b4 flashing new boot.img(s) then flashed the boot.img from the nandroid I just restored. All was well back into stock. I then found the insecure boot.img to use for aahk, flashed that in fastboot and relocked hboot. Reran aahk in linux. Got me to S-OFF with unlock.
If you need a fairly stock nandroid I can provide one.

Ok, you need to reflash the RUU I posted above....you just need to flash that from fastboot usb. If you can't do it, Then you need to flash it manually. Just let me know and I can lend you a hand over teamviewer. When you get the phone back, then you run the hack kit.

glevitan, you're awesome. I restored the phone by running the RUU executable and reran the aahk and am now fully rooted. Both times I got the black screen on this phone previously was on the same PC, but this time I ran aahk on my PC and it ran correctly. I sincerely appreciate your help in helping me to achieve root for this phone. Hopefully this thread helps someone in the future.

Can you or anyone do step by step on how too root the HTC inspire? From step one an not for get anything even if its an hour long video? Anything would help. I'm new with the HTC inspire. It seems that I can't root it at all. I'm not saying I can't root phones I rooted a lot. I have done the HTC Evo sprint the HTC amaze tmobile I have done three galaxy s2's the sprint the boost an the straight talk an many more. But this HTC inspire has me at a "STOP" noting seems too work at all. Please Help Me.

What have you tried? AAHK is the only real option. There is a very clear guide over at the Ace Think Tank post #7, linked in my signature.

Besides what bananagranola said, you need to know that video tutorials suck. They skip important details and that, will probably get you stuck. Read the guide adviced, and the hack kit site (got the link in the Ace Think Tank Thread)...that is all you need to know.

I have tryed the Aahk. My problem is when it ask me to downgrade ruu an all that. All my phone dose when I run the aahk I push 1 an then it ask too downgrade so i put y then something about the ruu an I put y then it says pushing the 9 something file. ( sorry I'm not home on my computer ) so I'm not 100% on what it is saying. But then my phone boots to Hboot dose its thank. Then says bad image. I have done this a lot of times with the aahk. I even tock the s-on off an on. Is there a way that someone can jump into my computer an do this?

Try using a different sdcard. If the RUU image is not being read, that is probably due to a bad sdcard. It is corrupted to work as a goldcard but fine for usual day use.

I have. I have had 4 of them now. Two 2 gigs one 36gig an one 8 gig. New I paid for them an a new USB cored fast data cable for the phone.

2gb is enough...don't use another cable but the oem one that came with the phone. Anyway, that seems to be a sdcard issue. Try with another one and then report back.

I will go buy one more. But I Dont thank its that. An why not use a fast data cored for my phone?
