I recently rooted my inspire with bubbys one click tool. I cant boot into recovery and would like to just unroot my phone. If someone could please post a tutorial on how to achieve S-ON and flash the stock RUU and not just post a link to a tutorial because every one that i have followed has failed me, that would be great. Bubbys S-ON tool has not worked for me. If it matters, i have a PC. Thanks in advance. please help me from this to this
Use gene pools inspire factory reset s/on tool located in the development forum. It works really well and is easy to use.

S-OFF doesn't give you root. You have to flash a PG(somenumbersican'tremember).zip file and you will have root then (read the sticky in dev section)

please read
do you know where the zip file is in the dev section? or is there any way you can post the link please thank you i do not know where it is in the dev section

If you're a n00b then you shouldn't really even be trying this. You should really know what you're doing before jumping in head first and then expect us to bail you out. Not to sound harsh but it's the truth
Well I am a nooob at getting the root back to can someone please help me

Since you're having so much trouble flashing the su .zip file, I would recommend skipping it in favor of a pre-rooted ROM.
Go to the DEV section and pick a ROM. I'm using LeeDroid right now. Download the ZIP file and put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot into Clockwork (either with VOLUME DOWN or use the command "adb reboot recovery" if you have adb) and flash the ZIP of the new ROM. I've found that my stock Sensation ROM hated Superuser. YMMV

Try it again. I believe, from reading the troubleshooting part of the noob guide, that you may have to try to flash it a few times. I had to try 2-3 times and then it just worked. Make sure you read that guide+troubleshooting part thoroughly incase some of it applies to you. Or, if you want a ROM as well, skip it all and read up on flashing a ROM. Make sure you understand what you are doing, as you can royally mess up!

what's this?
i purchased in november 2011...
Read read read read read before u try anything. Just fyi. Learn about what you doing and what it does to your phone. Learn how to recover and backup. Jumping into this game isn't easy. And could brick your phone. But for starters you need to check here revolutionary.io to unlock, root, and install recovery. Also get S-OFF aka security off. Aka locked boot loader.

As RANDYRKELLY says: First thing is to read carefully, understand and learn. Search this forum for everything about rooting, s-off and flushing ROMS. There are great step-by-step how-to's in here, so that there's no need to explain it once more in a separate thread.
You should start here for example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
Yes, it is said to read well and understand that you want to do and unlock the boot with better revolutionary than http://htcdev.com/, good luck

Do not use the htc unlock. Will not give you read write state. U need to use revolutionary cause it roots, unlock boot loader, and installs recovery. Please don't miss lead him.

I said that after http://htcdev.com/ will not be able to flash custom kernel, and unlock a better revolutionary
your best bet is to stick to xda it has everything you need to root and flash whatever you want there are alot of threads that will explain what root off is and how to get it. it will aslo explain how to flash roms, and what that is good luck you can always post here in the q&a with any problems you have
thanks randy & kaym....
anyways its S-off...

Actually, your the one misleading people, revolutionary doesnt actually root a phone, it just gives an unlocked bootloader. Installing superuser from market is what gives apps root and a line in the build.prop file gives the user root permissions

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.

Hello I'm ending if anyone can give me some detailed steps on getting root back after upgrading to 2.3.5. I've seen one post with instructions, but when it comes to rooting an HTC device, I get nervous. I just want to use my Wi-Fi tethering again, so would I just need to unlock my bootloader using HTCdev and install CWM? Do I downgrade?
Someone please help me out.

How did you root it the first time, AAHK or HTCDEV? If you used AAHK you might still be S-OFF; just flash a recovery and flash a rooted ROM. If you used HTCDEV I advise that you use AAHK this time around. Google "attn1 aahk" to find it. You will need to downgrade; it's in the Kit.

Then you are in the wrong place. This is a developers site, you are suppossed to do your homework and read and do some research. A tutorial will probably lead you to a messed bootloader and belive me, that is really painful to deal with.
That thread has all you need to know. Even has a noob guide (the same that in my signature) that will help you out. Try that out and once you know what rooting and downgrading involves, you are ready to go.

As long as you follow instructions in the Hack Kit site and in the effen manual, chances are almost inexistent, thou modifying software always involves risks.
You have you be aware of that. Several thousands of dhd and inspire users have used the kit successfully, so that is your proof that it works flawlessly as long as directions are followed.

Same answer. If you follow instructions you shouldn't have problems. The risk is always latent, you are modifying software, but there are lots of success cases that backup the process.
Its very simple. I did this 4 days ago. Currently on 4.2 AOKP. All you need to do. Unlock your bootloader. Thats easy. Htcdev.com. create an account and follow the directions. This'll unlock bootloader. Then Download that boot.zip. extract the boot.IMG and put it in the fastboot folder. On computer, cd to fast boot folder and type fastboot flash boot boot.img. relock the boot loader. Then run the hack kit. Questions?

Am I missing out on having my devices boot loader unlocked ? When I first tot the inspire 4g I had some difficulties knowing where to start but than I figured out how to root the thing with AAHK. I'm now using a cm10 ROM and honestly I'm curious about this boot loader option. I would assume that by using aahk that I couldn't use htcdev to unlock the bootloader because I might risk brick or some god awful thing...
Ultimately all I wanted to do was be able to use custom roms and vice versa but now that I keep hearing about this bootloader option it makes me curious as to what unlocking it well do for my inspire

S-Off with AAHK is a much better option than S-On boot loader unlock with HTCDEV. With S-On you can only flash ROMs meant for the DHD, meaning no ported ROMs. Also, you need to fast boot flash a boot.IMG separately each time you flash a ROM. Also, you let HTC know and so you lose any warranty you may have. And radios can't be flashed. Look in the Ace Think Tank guide for more information.
You just answered all my questions man, I appreciate it...ill stick to what I know...its a different experience coming from a LG optimus one....
