Hi, I created my GC and Rooted my phone with my old MAC.
I used 'hack kit'.
My question is, can I download 'hack kit' to my brand new PC and flash my phone back to stock??
Why? I have a defected phone and I want toflash back to stock so I can get a new one!
You should be fine. I started my root on pc had trouble and completed on a mac. The process for rooting a phone is the same just different commands for the different os.
I used the hack kit, I'm s off, everything seemed to go ok when flashing back to stock.
I DO NOT have any sound??

Download the stock ruu from htc. It will install the stock rom and you should be good to go.
I did via the hack kit link for stock ruu, I didn't see any errors, but not having sound side loading enabled seems off to me...

If you're S-on and have a stock rom, turn it in with no sound. Just another defect.

I recently rooted my Inspire. Today there was a WIFI update available and when I went to run the update the screen blacked out with an exlclamation mark. Is this because of the root that the phone will not take the update? Or is that the update process?
Thanks
Is the update from your service provider or from the people that created the ROM? If it's from your provider I would not even try to run the update just wait for an updated version of your rom to come out.
Thanks!
Kind of what I was thinking but being new to the device I thought I would ask.
Thanks again!
This is just to enable better speeds but all the ROMs already enable that.

Actually, its likely the side loading update, which most Roms also have. The speed update was weeks ago...

The OTA update is a combination of a patch pack and some new firmware for the radio and hboot. The first phase is applying the patch pack. For this to work, you need a pretty much stock ROM. If you're rooted, you likely have a few files that will be different and the patch will fail. It also checks the CID and aborts if you're not using stock (ie you used gfree to "open" your SIM, etc.). The firmware will only install after the patching process has completed successfully.
If you are rooted, then your best bet is to just use ATTN1's package that contains all the patched files and firmwares. You can find it here:

I just rooted the inspire. i think i installed the desire HD rom. now when i start up phone, it just shows the htc background with the xda "noob" audio playing. i cant do anything. it wont start bootloader.
any help would be appreciated. thanks
Have you tried pulling the battery and then restarting the phone?
If you used the hack kit it has steps to unroot. I had the same problem with mine. I held the volume down and power key while off and had it reinstall everything. Try that and see how it works.

Its called a soft brick, do what wolf said above then reflash the rom through recovery.

Thanks guys. i realized that to enter bootloader, you need remove battery and instantly hit the power and volume down. im learning root thanks guys
ive been trying to get it working on EVERY rom that is available, w/ 2.3.3, 2.3.4 AND 2.3.5 + every kernel, but still no dice...im thinking that it will need a clean, proper ASOP for it to run, but its kinda disappointing that it just wont load...
it installs with no issues, but when i try to load, screen goes black, and it either goes back to teh stock launcher, or asks which to load again :/
anyone tried this, or had better luck than me?
I had it running on mine just fine.

Both the hack kit and CyanogenMod guide will not work. Both require you to go to that goldcard site, which is down. Those of us trying to root are out of luck.
I think i might have stumbled upon a goldcard maker program. See if this works (havent tested(used revskills)) http://android.modaco.com/topic/308798-pc-application-goldcardtool/

You are on the downgrade rom. You need to flash a working rom thru h-boot. With a custom rom, rom manager will be included. With a stock rooted rom, you can download it from the market.

I got clockwork mod installed,and can download some mods,but is there a way to get rom on computer and save them to sd card?
Yes, just download the rom of choice on your PC. Connect your phone to PC and transfer the rom. Boot into clockwork wipe and flash a away

Check out the dev section, their are a bunch their. Save it somewhere convenient for you, so its easier to find for flashing. Root of SD card or maybe make a folder named roms

I've been working on rooting my phone 4 a couple of days, thought I had accomplished all I needed and then realized that I was still s-off. my ultimate goal is to downgrade to froyo and then upgrade with unrEVOked to Jellybean. The biggest problem I have is that my windows pc is flipping out on me and all I have is a mac. I also have a newborn and can't even begin to try and figure out vmware or dualbooting or anything. My wife's already having a hard time with me trying 2 finish rooting my droid. I've spent hours reading everything I can (still very much a noob, don't understand terminal, c prompt, or flashing) and have probably been just really lucky getting to where I'm at. Other posts I've read are wither windows only, s-on, or not 2.3.5. Help, I'm desperate!! I really don't want 2 have 2 pay the guy on FB either. Any help at all is greatly appreciated since I know how valuable time is 4 everyone.
Thanks in advance!

Why do you want to lose S-Off? You should probably wait for some time until you can donate some time to this, distractions can be extremely annoying on OSes like Android.
Mostly because I've been having issues with a couple of apps not being able to work because of s-on. Maybe you're right though, I need to take some time with it. Got my Windows back up but it still doesn't help since my usb connection with my phone's not working. Tried multiple cables, renamed usb slot, downloaded most recent drivers, but nada.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm about to factory reset and try again if there's no other way. Thinking it might be a good idea since my usb is crapped out.

If your USB slot(on the phone) is broken,you're pretty much screwed. Try posting in the evo 4g forums,they might help. And I don't understand what you mean by loading a cyanogenmod. Do you mean from the recovery?
Finally got everything working. My usb's data connection was hosed, different one worked. Windows is back up. Successful root to 2.3.7. Now to upgrade. Is there a way to get to ICS or jellybean from here?
