Hey guys do you think one click root you guys have here to root htc inspire would work on the HTC evo
If you are looking to root an EVO shouldn't you be in the EVO section?

Yes you are right my friend however i had the inspire before and now i have the evo but the new evos now come with 2.3 and can't root it.at the evo forums don't have the option to go back to stock 2.2 like we do here. So I was going to give this one a shot but I thought of asking first to see if maybe anyone has done it. If not I'll probably stay with the inspire lol.
The current rooting methods for the Inspire/DesireHD are very device specific. No chance it would work on an EVO. Heck, they won't work on DHDs that have taken the 2.3 upgrades either.
Most rooting methods are device spicific so please be careful using things not ment for your device.

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 !
I'm not really sure where to post with the phone I have. I purchased a HTC Hero S and I can't seem to find the right forum for it. I found other HTC Hero forums, but the image for the phone doesn't match the one I've got.
My phone is quite similar to the HTC Evo, with a few differences in hardware. I'm interested in gaining root access, would following the guides there work out for me?
Thanks!
I Don't think there's any Support for the Hero S...
So there's no gaining root access on it for now?

To tell you the truth I'm Not Sure...
I have a CDMA HTC Hero, and used the z4root.apk to get Root Access on my Hero!
I'll post a link to get the z4root all if you wanna try it?

Lemme know if it works?
Thanks for your time, man! I'm going to be reformatting my computer in the next week or so, so eventually I will try it and get around to letting you know how it went.
Thanks again.

I guess it depends on your comfort zone ;-)
There are many ICS ROMs based on "leaked HTC ICS" that work well. Until the official HTC ICS comes out we don't know the delta.
I, personally, would root, but I haven't had an unrooted device in two years lol. I'm on gingerbread still, because every ICS rom I've tried hasn't been as stable or fast as my modified cm7. It's really up to you, but if you've had your last phone rooted, chances are you'll root this one too lol, it's just a matter of when. Anyway, welcome to the sensation forums and good luck

Nothing wrong with rooting, it's possible to unroot if u have to send it back for defects, why not
Thanks fellas...I guess what it is is that I didn't succeed in getting S on once I went back to stock on the mytouch before I sent them both back lol o well seems rooting is easier on this phone then the gfree method for the mytouch and that was pretty easy itself

I bought HTC Inspire 4G phone, but the software recognized it as Desire HD even on the market so i'm not sure if i want to add launcher where to look , Inspire 4g or Desire HD ?
please any explanation !
the inspire is basically the north american version of the desire hd... most of the custom roms available for one will work for the other.
have you flashed a custom rom, or are you on stock still?
either way its nothing to worry about, your phone will work just fine.
If you are using the stock rom and about phone information says it is desire, then you have a desire. Many custom roms are made to be used for both phones bit does not detect the inspire unless you flash inspiremod....and not all roms from one phone will work on the other. Make sure that if you flash a custom Rom it is compatible with your phone. Otherwise you might get stuck.

I'm also getting the same thing. And I wanna root. Which guide should I follow exactly? The DHD rooting guide or the Inspire?

If you have an inspire, then definitely the inspire guide. Read a lot and be prepared, if you get stuck Google it or pm someone. Have fun :thumbup:

Use the Hack Kit....don't use any other method....It works for both DHD and Inspire and if you follow all instructions you will be s-off and rooted in less than 5 minutes.

Yo,
So I've been reading various forums trying to figure out what the hell I'm trying to do to this phone.
Everything I come across is like trying to read a different language. First off, what am I supposed to copy and paste with a file manager? Then, how can I cloud store my apps Cos I am running out of space due to use of go launcher ex and its many space Hogger accessories...? and finally do I Have to use a computer to root/unlock my phone so I can have newuser permission? how do I do that????
I get easily confused because I'm very new to trying to experience the awesomeness of hacking my phone....

If you do have an EVO 4G DO NOT USE the Guide you were linked to. What is your HBoot? Android version?
I didn't notice that! Sorry.

Ok if that is your HBoot then you have an OG EVO 4G. So DO NOT USE VICODAN'S GUIDE !!! His guide is for the EVO Shift. Check out the Guide HERE. You can also check THIS thread.
Yeah..if you noticed, i have the latest OTA (?) or "build" if you must..so i 'm unsure if that will compromise my the recovery...i've read allot of different stuff on here the past few days and i dont know if i should use smelkus, cwm, or whatever the other most reliable recovery i should flash...? plus i kinda wanna passup ics and try for a jb custom rom...i think im gettimg ahead of myself here because the computer i've been using isn't mine and i wont get mine til saturday and then i wanted to know if theres a way i can save the bootloader, sdk, recovery and backup installations on a flash drive or should i just start from scratch again? one more thing...(sorry) one has to have internet connection to proceed with the root? (cos i only have my sprint hotspot through my phone..or tethering mobile network to pc....iplease hold my hand...thx for your support and input for the future advisors....blah

Well I hope this means you got it sorted out. Oh BTW best Recovery for the OG EVO 4G is AmonRa v2.3 IMO.
