I am running the same HTC version as you and used unrEVOked3. I would like to hear why you didn't want to root that way again. I just recently rooted my friends phone using unrEVOked3 too. email me at bobbyoftulsa @ yahoo.com so as not to crowd the thread. I haven't had a problem yet.. just want the opinion so I might start over.
I am trying to find a working Rooting method for Android 2.3.4 on LG phones.
I have tried out some of the popular rooting methods including gingerbreak but they do not seem to work. Anyone has had success with rooting Android 2.3.4 phones? My searches have not been successful in finding any good results, so I am asking here. Thank you in advance.
You have the wrong idea. Rooting a device is not brought in general - like saying once a phone has a certain android version, then all android phones with that software version can be rooted (This is the idea you have which is wrong). Different devices may take different methods to be rooted. Like, Gingerbreak may work on the nexus s, but may not work on some other device running Gingerbread. And to answer your question, yes. Many people have rooted android devices running 2.3.4 (and just for your information - ALL android versions so far can be rooted).
I have a MyTouch 4g, running 2.3.4. You wouldnt happen to know any ways to root it, would you? Thanks man
you can try http://revolutionary.io/ select myTouch 4G Slide it may work on ur phone but as always no guaranties do it on your own risk, some more links:

Well usually different phones have different methods to root the,just google it with the exact name of your device and you will get how to do it....!

Um, unless I missed a memo, then your phone has already been rooted because the MT4G has not been updated to 2.3.4 via OTA officially. You may be running a custom stock ROM that reads as 2.3.4 though because some people just want the stock look without all the bloatware (Telenav, TMO TV, etc). So, download Root Checker from the Market and see if it tells you that you have root. If not, then you shouldn't be running 2.3.4 yet.
Also, go here for everything you need to know about rooting and installing custom ROMs on the MT4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=796

The maker of the phone isn't terribly important. The model of the phone is - such as Optimus or G2x.
In the upper right corner of this site there's a box for "find your device..." type in your phone model and it'll take you to the forum for that particular phone and you'll be able to learn all you need for that model. Best of luck to you!

First, please forgive my stupidity on a variety of levels as this is my first post and I recently came from the Jailbreaking scene of my iPhone 3GS but have very little knowledge in the Android area - which is why I came here.
I just purchased a used AT&T HTC Inspire 4G off eBay. I would like to root it and run the latest stable Ice Cream Sandwich custom ROM, and unlock if possible. Assuming it is running stock 2.3, I would like to root, unlock and flash a clean custom ROM onto it as soon as I receive it in the mail (2-3 days).
I HAVE searched online for tutorials, but have only found crappy, fuzzy, outdated Youtube videos by 12-year-olds, and therefore am not sure exactly what to do. So if I could get someone's professional guidance on how to root, unlock, flash, and what ROM to use, I will be eternally in your debt.
P.S. I'm not entirely new - I have flashed a number of Windows Mobile ROMs, done plenty of iOS hacking, flashed an Android tablet, and do plenty of dev-testing on my PSP.

Hey, check out attn1's root kit! Got my Inspire rooted in about 5 mins
Link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
Also, there's an IRC channel that is listed in the thread if you need any help.
Donations are appreciated!
General premise is that you'll need to S-OFF (remove HTC NAND security), then root.
Removing the NAND is usually handled by an XTC Clip (hardware) or Revolutionary (software) method. Some others do exist, just look for the 'S-OFF' thread in the Inspire section to get you started.
Once that's complete, use either the rootkit mentioned above, or something like SuperOneClick to obtain actual root.
Good luck!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe attn1's root kit does everything for you including S-Off..
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have no doubt your are right my friend , I was just providing a little insight on why there's more than one step involved. I also ran into rooting issues using the Vivid toolkit, which were fixed with SuperOneClick.
That said, definitely try the rootkit first. They're a killer starting point
Just make sure you read the effin manual. If you don't, you won't be able to root it with the hack kit. And you won't get ANY help with it if you don't read the manual.

Just got the Inspire 10 minutes ago, so I assume go ahead and use the root kit? Then what would be the best ROM for Ice Cream Sandwich to install? Again, I know how to use Google, just want to have an expert opinion on it... Thanks!
Edit: Just ran the rootkit, and flashed ICS 4.0.3 onto it... Booting now!
There are many great ROMs that exist within the forums. I prefer cynagonmod but of course your mileage may vary.

I have reason to believe my phone is sufficiently bricked... I did follow the instructions in effin_manual, but something must have messed up. I can get to the boot menu (volume down+power) but anything beyond that crashes. Is there any way I can flash this back to stock and start over?
I found this, but the link is dead...

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
UPDATE: Flashed it back to stock 2.2. Before I do anything else, what is the most recent, stable UNLOCKABLE firmware available? Thanks so much!

First, If you have read the effen manual you would have known what to do in you case.
If your phone was shipped with Gingerbread and you flashed a froyo RUU you are in trouble...make sure that your cell is working properly before trying to flash a custom rom or you will get jammed. By the way, brick means that your phone is useless and were not bricked....the Hack Kit works beautifully as long as you follow instructions. Also, make sure that you are S-OFF and Rooted before attempting to flash a custom rom....
The phone was shipped with Froyo, and I just restored it back to that.
I had ICS 4.0.3 flashed, but the unlock was not compatible with it and I got a nice little message from AT&T about that. They haven't started charging me yet, but I would like to do something about it before they do.
So can ICS be unlocked at all? Or what is the most recent firmware that can be unlocked?

I got a text from ATT this morning saying "Congratulations on your 4G smartphone! 4G data and message rates may apply." I checked online and it was still on my 200 MB iPhone plan, so hopefully it stays that way. My bad, just wanted to make sure it was unlocked.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Not sure why you would want to unlock an att phone to use on att.people unlock it to use on other carriers like say T-Mobile.
As to the text,since the inspire is an att phone they will recognize it and will change your data plan accordingly. There really isn't a way around that. I don't remember their being a 200mb iPhone plan but its been a while. But it might be as easy as giving them a call and switching it over and keeping the same plane just named differently.

Welcome to someone who has ATT and is just recalling his experience with it:
1) You can change your data plan up till the end of the billing cycle for that SAME cycle.
2) 200mb is the minimum data plan and you have to (in theory) be on a data plan to have a smartphone on their network.
Moving on to non-ATT stuff
3) You may want to do a little bit of reading and understand the difference between root and unlock.
4) I'll be nice and link a thread with that insight: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076720
5) ... >.<
I got it working with my 200MB data plan and running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3. Thanks for all the help!

Hello everybody, I got my Sensation few months ago as a replacement for my G2 and now im thinking to root it. Now I see there are a few threads on how to root it (S-Off) but Im not sure which one to follow. I rooted my G2 before and it looks like Sensation would be easier but I just want to make sure.
If somebody would direct me to the right thread where its proven to work I'd appreciate it, I would prefer to root it without unlocking the phone, but if its easier I wouldnt mind.
I got stock ICS 4.0.3 with sense 3.6
