SUCCES! Buying a non-stock micro sd resolve goldcard problems
Last night i tried this two methods to root my inspire,
Bubby's and the Ace Hack.
Neither both worked on my smartphone.
Bubby's just hangs in the HBOOT, it will never search for the .zip
And the command kit hangs in "INFOsignature..."
Tough it might be the goldcard, really i need to buy a new one?
Or there is something im doing wrong?
I tried the goldcard generation several times. (stock 8GB one)
I will take any help, thanks!
(Running 2.2.1, stock ATT)
(Also, im from Argentina, so i have it translated into spanish)
Start over use ace hack kit and then tell where are u stuck..

Make sure the SD card is formatted the right way fat32.I had problems rooting my phone because I didn't format the right way

I would also suggest verifying that the zip file is named correctly and actually got transferred over. When I first did it the process failed there because the zip file wasn't named correctly.
Wow, now my inspire is stuck in a black screen with a cellphone and a red exclamation sign. What does it mean?
Edit: I restarted the phone and now is just like... nothing. Its the same that before, it wont work with the hack kit.
Hack Kit prompts "go" "tr23" "tr99" are not recognized command lines.
Then it just proceed fut failing in many steps.
Trying Bubby's once again, now with a 1gb sandisk card.
Now it searchs for the .zip
Ill keep updating if i succes.
Thanks
Edit: Its going well for now.
It seems that the stock card is not the best to make a goldcard.

Ive tried both methods super one click and the manual one! and they still dnt work out for me. Is there a rom that will root your inspire and install custom roms like the one on the atrix(gingerblur)??
I know it seems hatd to root its really not, i too almost gave up i used attn1 hack kit, read the instructions first be patient. I found a link to videos that helped me.

Rooting
I tried the one click rooting and got left hanging with no sound on 4 occasions - I could never get it to work after the rage installation phase. I had s-off , but couldn't get root. Since I now was getting desperate, I used the hack kit and followed the unzipped instructions in the extracted folder. I had to get and load adb on my ubuntu pc to install Visionary on my inspire after that it was easy. I loaded Revolution rom and am happy with it. I'm a complete noob and have had my inspire only 3 weeks and have no other android experience. If I can do it, so can you.

I've had two inspires already and used both methods (one on each phone). They have both worked for me. You have to root in order to have custom roms. Have you followed the instructions to a T? What are you getting stuck on?

Thanks for the quick replies guys! The inspire is my mom's and shes been having problems with it regarding the sd card unmounting by itself, getting stuck in landscape mode and etc... and i myself own the atrix and so im not that familiar with the inspire
The part where i get stuck at is when i put in the command "hackerize-ace install-downgrade" after i put in those commands and press enter, it says not installed, what am i doing wrong?
Edit: when i try the one click method, the part where i get stuck is at hboot, it doesnt seem to find any images it constantly say "no image, wrong image"
anyone know how to fix this?

Make sure that you have the HTC drivers installed correctly. If you don't your computer cannot communicate with your device to push the downgrade rom to your phone. It doesn't matter which method you are using if the drivers are not installed correctly they both will not function correctly.
I've been trying to root my inspire 4g and I'm having a hard time.. Anyone have any ideas on whats the best way to root it?

What methods have you tried?
The best way is with the hack kit.
The easiest doesn't mean its the best.
I've tried both but I get errors.

I also used this method. First time, I think i soft bricked my phone because I missed a step in the haste and anxiety of the process but got my phone powered back up and took a second try at it and it worked flawlessly. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO FOLLOW EACH STEP TO THE TEE!!!!!
The best and easiest is the hack kit

I never tried the hack kit method but it just looked scary from reading the instructions.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
The hack is actually is pretty easy with v11. Literally it is open up the cmd file enter 1, create gold card through the provided link and put into folder, enter 2 let it do its thing and finally enter 3 and let it do.its thing. Took me about 15 min for the whole process.
I then flashed attn1stock Rom, while I read up on which Rom to try out. Capys kingdom Rom looks great but holding off as he works his magic

I used Bubby's 1 click and it is very very easy. All the instructions are clearly detailed out and just follow them to the word. It takes less than 20 mins including formatting the sd card and the gold card creation.
Disabling your anti-virus software is ESSENTIAL. If you don't, your AV will detect the rage file as a trojan and delete it. That means it will not get pushed to the phone and you will not have root access.
I learned that the hard way ;0)
Also, if you don't like to use the phone terminal app, you can get a copy of droid explorer and use the console in that app. You don't need to disconnect anything as it will use another copy of adb to access your phone.
The newest hack kit is easier then ever, I rooted an inspire in 10 mins. No problems

Dude if you're afraid of the hack kit, what's the point in rooting?
If you don't really want to learn adb and basic commands to push files to your phone, then keep it stock and under warranty.
Rooting isn't for everyone, with att it was almost necessary to be able to sideload apps, but that's no more since att got with the program.
I guess all I'm saying is that if you want an easy root, buy a nexus device. For every other device, there is some basic knowledge you MUST have first. Fortunately that's all in the inspire developer forum.
Read!!!!!! Then read some more...
The easiest way will not teach a newbie any of the real benefits of having root. Learn as much as you can, see if its right for you, then make a decision.
I'm not discouraging anyone by any means, I'm just trying to cut down on these pointless threads.
With soooooo many people and their grandmothers rooted now between bubbys and attn1s methods, these threads shouldn't exist unless the hack kit or super one click summons the dark lord chthulu in your basement...

The Hack Kit really is as easy as this...with bubby's method, you have to type in commands in terminal, format your sd card...etc.
Hack kit....no format, copy and paste...send an email...and then type in numbers 1, 2 and 3.
I did it with Bubby's method. I had errors in the terminal commands with the AceHack method. Dont skimp on the microSD card, get a high quality one. I had trouble with the stupid HP brand card while making the goldcard, it kept corrupting when I changed it from USB mode to charge only. Had to find a HP format tool to format it which took hours to do! After that its fine, just make sure you have plenty of time and do not rush.
i attempted to run http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406
and halfway through the process it stopped. it went up to the point of installing the update of pd98img.zip and it just stopped. so now my phone has been downgraded to 2.2 and it thinks its a desire. HELP!!!
Did it make it to the S-OFF step? Check top of HBOOT screen. If it says S-OFF, then your fine and probably just need to manually flash clockworkmod recovery to load a custom rom.

no it did not make it to S-OFF. it installed the pd98img. and nothing further.
What next?????

You could start over again then, or if you're comfortable with linux and command line stuff, you could try and manually run gfree and get S-OFF, then move on. This link shows all the steps:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=AT&T_Inspire_4G:_Rooting
You can skip down to "Gaining Temporary Root Access" and follow those steps. gfree is the tool that does the actual work of obtaining S-OFF which is the most important step in the rooting process, but it only works with a specific kernel/radio combination, hence the need to downgrade first.
I've never used Bubby's method, but have used the ace hack kit. I'm pretty sure you could use it to finish up too as it runs in a step-wise fashion so you could pick up and go from the downgrade point. Grab it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
Attn1 also has an IRC chat node where there are always a lot of knowledgeable people willing to help you through the process in real-time:
http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#liberatedAria
Yea I'm not familiar with Linux. I think.my best bet will be to just start from the beginning. Reinstall everything and hopefully that will work.

If you already have a gold card, use the ace hack kit. It is quicker and easier, especially if you already have the gold card. I was planning on using the one click but ended up rooting with the ace hack kit yesterday. The newest version 11 is simplified.

I downloaded Bubby's One Click program (3-21-11_RC2.exe) and here is exactly what happened:
1. I know this may be my undoing but I did not turn off antivirus, it found a virus and cleaned it. Knowing my luck it cleaned something out that was critical in the steps.
2. I got the goldcard done (website was down the other day). I got it downgraded and now I have a working debranded Froyo Inspire 4g on 1.32.405.6. But with no sound.
Now something went wrong during a command prompt part and the program did not progress. I tried rerunning the program but it does not progress as it should.
What do I do now? I am going to try follow Cyanogen steps on their Wiki but is their an easier fix?
You need to completely disable or even uninstall your anti virus. Then, delete all of the one click root files. Then redownload, and start over.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
You could push rage to your phone to root it you can still root it with the downgraded rom. You don't have to start from the beginning. Just the part that pushes rage after you turn you anti virus off and redownload the gui.
The downgraded rom does not have the right audio drivers which is why you have no sound.
Also next time please search as there are many many many threads about this.
Mods please close.

I did a search and did not find the procedure. I also searched on the internet. The problem is I do not know how to fix it and rerunning the file does not work. when you do a search for no sound Inspire 5 threads come up and I did not know what to do still.
I will do a search for how to push rage to the phone. Remember the 500mb program does not exactly let you pick and choose the point where to start.

use the hack kit. you can even use the older hack kit. It doesn't really matter the size of the program, its how the program is scripted.
There are many threads of downgraded inspire with no sound, the solution is flashing a rom, though you cannot do that because you are not rooted nor are you s-off.
your options.
1. Flash back to stock and restart the whole process.
2. Push rage from adb, then run rage through turminal emulator.
3. Use the hack kit, because you can choose where to start in the proccess, ie. Pushing rage and rooting.
Try using the hack kit. Start with menu option number3.

I got it done.
I used this tutorial which involved:
Downloading Android SDK and gfree
Changing system variable path in Windows
running command prompt
doing a whole heap of adb commands.
I installed Rom Manager and flashed unity rom in and I am good to go
This is still going on??? I got one of the first Inspires when Costco was selling them even before AT&T would.
Same exact problem using the Bubby One Click method way back in February.
Had to use attn1's method from there on.
Would have thought the problem would have been fixed by now

I checked up on him a few weeks ago....doing a lot of wheeling and dealing for devices / hardware on some other threads probably for dev work...that's obviously not the Inspire .
I've tried the new supertool v3 and the aahk hack and it doesnt seem to do anything. It might be my computers fault cause it keeps giving me weird errors like my usb device has malfuctioned or windows doesnt recognize it. I'm lot and would like some assistance if someone could help
thanks,
mike
finally figured out it was my other computer so i moved to a different computer and am using the supertool hack and i prepped it like it said and it seemed to do something, then i went to #3 cause it says attempt perm root so i clicked that and it seemed to be doing something and then flashed at me and said rooted! and my phone turned white and i had 4 option like bootloader, reboot, reboot botloader, and something else i forgot. I'm not sure what i should do from here so i clicked just bootloader and it took me to a different screen then i just restarted it and i downloaded terminal emulator and typed in su to see if it was rooted and it wasnt. I'm confused once my screen turns white and asks me what to do
By "Supertool", do you mean Bubby's root method?
Idk who its from, but i got it from this website and its called htc supertool and says it works on almost every htc phone
No he mean the HTC supertool from the general android section. Use the Ace hack kit. It is the only proven way that I know of. We have all used it at one time or another and as long as you read the manual you will be fine.
This maybe a little exaggerated, but you may download Ubuntu and run from a USB drive for example and run aahk from there...

It's not recommended to run from a USB drive. Use a live CD instead. (It's in the effen manual for aahk).
You can install the live CD in a usb with unebooting, that's what I mean

lol what are you saying? The Hack Kit is the best way to go. The OP has been instructed to use this tool and if he still runs into a problem, the OP should re-read the the first post in the hack kit thread and the manual to be sure he/she didn't miss a thing. If problems still persist I believe the IRC chatroom is still in service.
I should stop writing short replies, I mean you can install the live CD in the USB with unebooting or other tool, from there use the aahk
