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.

I have looked through various threads and forums but i couldn't find anything that would help me with my issues. I recently bought a htc inspire and after a couple of days my friend convinced me to root it. I followed the steps using this [DEV][GUI][RC2][GPL][3-21-2011] HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click - xda-developers root. All was going well till i powered it up,after following the specific examples shown in the video and directions. I had no superuser app and my "root access was denied" and i have no sound (i know it says that you have to flash that).However i did get S-on to change to S-off. I tried to root it one more time with the same process and didnt work out again i opened terminal emulator and typed /data/local/temp/rage but got "not found". Could someone please assist me into how to complete the root and get sound. Thank you very much!!
Try and use the hack kit.

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 !

Does anyone know of an app to root the sensation with version 2.3.4? I just got this phone and I havent been able to find anything yet.

Can't find anything, huh?! Did you try looking in the development section? There are no one click apps for the sensation. I suggest you read the stickied threads at the top of the development forum. Long and short there is no permanent root without s-off, only temp root.
Go to the dev area like the guy said, read through the one sticky....you should be then be able to do the whole shooting match...mine runs cm7. Definately the best phone I've had yet

Thanks in advance,

Just flash a superuser.zip files through CWM Recovery and you're rooted.
If what the person before me said doesn't work try looking up the thread that's says " how to flash ics with s-on" after u do that process right you'll gain root access. Because I was in the same situation with you and couldn't gain root. But that worked.

I'm sort of having the same issue... Where do you get superuser.zip? Is there a specific one we need? And can I just flash it then right away flash a rom?
Thanks
