i saw on another forum that this root works great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
I've tried that one already just says running exploit then I found out it won't work because it won't on anything with firmware higher than 2.36

Hi all, I am new to Android and HTC phones, in advance I know that my question can not have any sense. Today i have rooted my Z 1.82 with method described in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
After it I have rooted 1.34 and i have also two questions:
1) is it possible now to upgrade to 1.82 and keep root,s-off,supercid? Or which Rom you advice and where i could some interesting ones?
2) referring to method i have used to root what method you suggest to undo all? Can i get somwhere a ROM for unbranded 1.82? My CID was HTC_032 if it is useful info for you.
Thanks

Hi,
If you get a custom ROM which uses the 1.82 base you will be able to keep root, SuperCID and S-OFF. The ROM that I am using (link in my sig) is Virtuous ROM which is based off the 1.85 release. Really great if you want the latest build with Sense.
You can use the same method (i believe) to Unroot, SIM-Lock and S-On.
Regards.
Ok ,thanks. Actually now I am using virtuous 1.0.1 as you, but my problem is that I didn't make any backup for my stock one before rooting. Now I would like to now how to back to the status from before rooting. My telcom provider is Era so I need stock Rom branded by Era :/

I think yes I ve used it to downgrade from 1.82 to 1.34 to get permroot. It is pretty well described in one of the sticked guides, and actually in my first post you can find the link.

This is the "Accessories" subforum.
As already mentioned, if you want a more recent Sense build, flash Virtuous. Its based on 1.85, and has some added features, but really not that modified. Much easier than messing with the newer official ROMs (which are not presently rootable).

To root 1.82 you must downgrade.
Safest and best way is the goldcard way
I had 1.82 unrooted desire Z
i used the goldcard way.
this link brings you to the topic.
Once you reach the third part.
you have to do following first
Start command promt.
Browse the command to you ADB folder
enter: ADB Shell Chmod 777 /data
Now you are able to pull the misc file from you phone.
This is normally only available at rooted.
now i run Cyanogenmod v7 =)
Kind regards
Resurrecting a 2-month old thread, posted in the completely wrong subforum, was probably a bit pointless.
Just saying.
has anyone tried or successfully rooted using gingerbreak. i dont have an inspire but know thats its a little complicated to root it but this it a new exploit so it should work
wheres a link or something ?

I'm already rooted running CM7 so I wouldn't be able to test this out.
Does anyone know of a reason this wouldn't work ?
I have a stock Inspire headed my way today and one way or another it is going to be rooted within an hour or so of it getting into my mitts !
Is there a SBF for the Inspire so I can reload the original ROM should things go south ?
To perm root this phone, the hboot(bootloader) has to be downgraded to take advantage of an exploitable one to get S-Off(nand lock) so radios and roms can be flashed. Gingerbreak only temp roots and doesn't attain s-off.
Search for the RUU, it's what's needed restore the stock unrooted rom.

Downloading the Stock now, thank you !
Should have searched before asking.
Going to give it a go as I haven't seen anything written about it. Figure as long as I have a stock to get back to it can't do much harm, that and it will wipe the SD card which is handy as it is a used phone. I go through a few and some of the things people leave on their old phones amazes me. Can be amusing though !
Trying to root my Inspire for the first time using Bubby's SuperOneClick method.
However, I am getting an error message during the install telling me "Main Version is old! Update Fail!"
If anyone has had this same problem or knows of a way to fix this and continue the rooting process it'd be much appreciated!
Thanks!
I don't think its updated and won't root gingerbread if you're on it so you'll have to use the hack kit

You could also use the DHD downgrade folder I would post the thread but I can't for some reason you can search its floating around this forum somewhere

Yeah, I just updated OTA yesterday. I'll go ahead and try the hack kit. Thanks for the help guys!
Update: After searching for a new way to root with GB installed, I need a lil help on which method is best to go about rooting. Thanks in advance.
ill be rooting my friends inspire tonight, he currently has the latest 2.3.3 ota installed. in your opinion what is the best, stockish but stable type rom for him to run as he is a android beginner. i don't need all the overclocking, bells and whistles. is there any roms with sense 3.0 with the 3.0 lockscreen?
also what kernel/radio is recommended?
Virtuous seems to have the best reviews in rom manager. I tried rooting with 2.3.3 installed. It was a PITA!!! Do yourself a favor and use the method I posted to downgrade first, then root and flash a good rom!!!

thanks, hey i remember you back from the hero days!
Sense you have been around for awhile you know that best ROM threads don't last long. Best bet is to try a few on said device and then choose the best for that device/person.
