Ok jumped ship from the Captivate to the Inspire.
So far am liking the phone.
I want to root it and rom. I saw the sticky in the general section and want to ask is that the best place to start?
Captivate was fairly easy to mess with. Reading a bit seems the inspire is a bit more tricky. I just want to make sure that I don't brick it lol. I want to make sure I can get it back to stock if need be.
If this should have been in Q&A then mod please move it. Figured I would introduce myself and get pointed in the correct direction. No sense making useless posts.

Welcome fellow ex-Captivate owner. Your instints are spot-on. That sticky is THE best place to start. Everything you need is in that thread, in terms of info and links to rooting methods, etc.
As a former Captivate owner, the inspire is not "one-clickable,",like the Captivate, and A LOT of people get tripped-up on the rooting process. It's more involved, but that's just how it is. The advantages this phone has over the Captivate make it worth it.
What about drivers. I downloaded some but not sure how or if I need to install them.
For computer drivers go to the official htc website and download and install the ones for the inspire.Once installed, you can delete htc sync since it isn't that useful anyways and can interfere with computer to phone communications.
Now you should be fine on drivers.

Ok if things get borked how do I get back to stock. With the captivate always had a way to get out a bad flash. How do I do with the inspire?

Odin on the cappy is RUU on the inspire, more or less.

Well I appreciate that response but can you point me too some. I would like a GB rom and not sure what the difference is between Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0. I gather getting a sense 3.0 is the way to go.
I am currently using Leedroid GB right now.
If I want to flash another rom what is the procedure for that? On the Cappy I would flash back to a stock rom then flash the new rom. Is that similar here or what?
From experience it is best to do a backup of apps and contacts and do a full wipe from recovery
1- wipe data / factory reset
2- mounts and storage - format system
3- advanced - wipe Dalvik Cache
4- Install Rom and add-ons
when going between ROMs for the inspire it is best to do this. Only when upgrading to a new release of a ROM you can just flash over the top of it and sometimes that gets sticky.

Thanks much. Those 3 steps are what flashing to stock with Odin is on a Cappy. So I now know what to do on the Inspire.
Bit different animal the Inspire then the Cappy. So far am liking it a bit better. Sense is much nicer then touchwiz but I removed touchwiz and replaced with launcher pro about 2hrs after first getting the Cappy.
One issue I get is the clock/weather widget reports the temp in Celsius how can that be changed?

when switching between ext3 and ext4 roms you need to add
3.5 mount /system & /data
might as well be in the habit.
I personally like sense 3.0, but the sense 2.x are a lot more stable with less hiccups.
i know its a pain, but please read the threads. by page 200 you will know the answers to all the irritating questions people just keep asking over and over and over. but keep on reading because there will be little gems here and there.
that 3-4 hours reading up on a particular rom will come in handy when you flash and know what to expect, common issues and how to deal with them. that 3-4 hours will keep you from having wait a day to be acknowledged with a lovely "search the thread" or "read the OP" response.
but hopefully you rooted your captivate, know to read up first, seach second, reread, search again and then ask. and welcome to the inspire!
I had my Captivate rooted and rom'd about 2 weeks after I got it. So yeah I am a flasher.
I know what to expect if something goes wrong and usually could get out of it with my cappy. I never had to use a jig or even buy one. I seemed have good results with anything I did on that phone. Finally found a nice GB rom for it great battery life.
Reading through the threads I do do that but there is so much bs and off topic stuff in some of these threads it gets tiresome to paw through 200+ pages to find something. I suck at searching on forums always get non related stuff.
I hear ya. I am not a noob at this just cautious and like to ask questions before doing things.
I'm also a Captivate to Inspire person. I agree that things look like they were a lot easier on the Captivate. I'm very nervous that I'll break something. The phone seems to work fine stock though.

You're not going to break anything. It might LOOK like you did, but as long as the phone at least starts to boot up, even if it appears stuck, it's fixable.
And the phone does work great stock, compared to a stock captivate, it just works even better with a custom ROM, as most will improve the battery life significantly, if properly flashed, and absent of any rogue battery-draining apps that are installed by the owner of the phone.

Then I flashed the ninja rom and found the right radio to flash. I never seebthe h+ icon now but get fast speeds might be the rom... its notbrocket science to root and flash the directions are step by step usually...

ROM: NINJA 6.27.11

Radio: 12.54.60.25P_26.09.04.11_M
Hey , I'm new here so ill say hi too. Anyways , a week ago I got a Desire S for my birthday and before i had an ipod touch. I know that jailbreaking an ios device is easy and if you mess up you simply restore. What about an android device? What are the risks of rootibg and can you restore itback to its original state for warranty purposes? Are the roms there any roms available for daily use? ( 3.2.5, sense 3.5 , ice cream sandwich? ) Thanks in advance
Oh and, if ill decide to root what should I do / save to uunroot?
Android's are usually quite easy to restore. Just download the RUU thingy, available on this forum.
this thread is really good
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146601
just give a good read through all the threads in the guide section.
I've found that it's not easy to brick an android device or mess something up. All you need is a backup of your rom (which you'll understand after reading the guides) and you should be safe.
Well all I need to do is save my ROM? How do I do that?
Also what are kernels and radios and hboots? completely newbie to this..

Follow the link and read the general guides. If you still have questions then please do ask
Sent from my Desire S using xda premium
Well I couldn't really find anything about kernels and radios, and to backup my ROM I need a rooted device? What if its too late? How can I know if I have a faulty chip?I don't want to wreck my device...
Well there's not much you can do if your chip is faulty, but you can do things to stop your phone breaking.
Never pull the battery out is a key one. If you have to, try pressing volume up + down and the power button at the same time. There are also other things you should do. Ben Pyett is great with helping about the eMMC problem
The radio and hboot is something you shouldn't worry about. I've never bothered messing around with them and you really don't need to.
Kernels are flashed in the same way as ROMs. Through clockworkmod recovery or 4ext recovery. Whichever you want. All you have to do is choose the right one for the ROM you're flashing ie a sense kernel for a sense rom. In the desire s section you'll find 3 sense kernels and 1 aosp kernel. AOSP are ROMs like cyanogenmod which don't have any GUIs like sense. With two of the kernels ( Hyperion and Endymion) you must choose the right version of sense. Hyperion is for sense 3.0 and Endymion is for sense 3.5 and the unity kernel can be used for any version of sense.
Making a backup is easy. All you have to do is go into recovery and select the backup and restore option and choose backup. You must do this before flashing a custom ROM because if the install fails you'll have something to fall back on.
I've tried my best but if you still have more questions then ask.

Always make a nandroid backup, it just means if anything goes wrong you should be able to restore your phone to it's exact previous state.

Yep, the free version of titanium only allows one by one backup, but if you get the full version it can do multiple backups in one go
4ext recovery control is a paid app too, but I cannot stress how worth it it is!

Also , my dad really liked the 3.5 update so I tried doing the same on his Desire and well when its reaches "zerging root" it says that it failed with a sad smiley..
Could it be because he has a update available but won't install it? ( As its impossible for him because at the end of the New firmware download it says damaged file or something.. )

Hi
I if you use sense 3.5, swype is already built in. Go to the keyboard settings and turn htc trace on.
Swype away!
However if you want full swype, its a beta, I recommend just signing up on their website to get the apk, its free
Not to sure about your dads desire, best bet is to ask the desire forum
Hope it helps...

there's the swype installer, that's what you need to install swype, but i think you still have to sign up. Might be wrong though.
Hi all,
I am new to this community and new to smartphone.Very recently i got Inspire 4g with android version 2.3.3.I am very much interested in updating it to ICS.But from internet sources i have heard that HTC will most probably not give updates to Inspire 4g.So,the only option left to me is rooting.So,can someone kindly suggest me actually how to root my android device to ICS from scratch.I know nothing regarding rooting except that rooting gives administrator privileges.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!
First, you don't root to ics. Second, try actually looking in the development section

Inspire will NOT get an ICS rom officially. You can only run roms after rooting. HTC is not releasing an ics update for our phones, the desirehd will get one but you can only take advantage of that if you are rooted. and as mentioned please do a bit more searching, as all of your questions have been asked many times.
Another thing to keep in mind before flashing/installing an ICS rom, there is not a single ICS rom that is fully functional at the moment. With most of the ICS roms besides small bugs here and there (that is if they still have any) either the camera or videocamara or both do not work and will not work until the dhd gets the update. Most of the roms in the dhd forum will work with the inspire.
As i ha already been mentioned, read and rea some more. You'll find a lot of nice "toys" to play with.

Just like the 2 members said ics has some bugs I used it from some other devs and from having a good cam and video to work was important to me and yes you can use 3 rd party but was not all that good.
Also understand the importance of backups this is some info I posted else where but its nothing special may help or so...
No need to say sorry lol...your ok just hate so the new ones get cyber yelled at by some mod and close your thread and not getting your answer.
But even though it maybe not be for the rom that your running but also check out the Q&As of those Roms.
And also I know the htc inspire thread for ROMs is always on top of the game here but just letting you know as well Desire HD forums is I would say you should go for the most recent ROMs and updates etc.. And yes Desire HD can be used for the Htc Inspire so thats where Im at for the most part..
But if you ever get a boot loop form a rom you flash make sure you fully wipe (sorry just funny every time.you will see what I mean) from rom to rom unless other wise...If you still happen to have the PD98IMG file still on your sd card happens when you 1st root and for get that its there delete I use Es File Explorer to find whats on the sd card there are others astro file manager. Also This happen to me once when I flash scripts,gps fix, kernels then the rom that I was going to use and it just totally F'd my phone or re boots random or just gets stuck on the htc screen..
But I had made this post for another user (new) maybe this may help:
So this is an idea of what I do when I flash a rom and some other ideas/tips.
Getting Started or Flashing A Rom:
Once you root your phone (this is not in any order really) you should get ROM Manager aka Clock Work Mod. Once you get that, open the CWM and the first top half you will see flash clockworkmod recovery make sure your on wifi I would at least for the updates. You will see a dialog box click desire hd. This will allow you to make back ups of your settings that you made when you flash a rom its always a good idea to make your backups its a life save!! So, once you made your back up and this is what I do.. I plug in my phone to the pc switch to disk mode which will let you see whats on your sd card. Since you flash the CWM and recovery you will see on your sd card a folder called clockworkmod open then backups folder you will see you back that you made, drag and drop that backup file that you made to your fold that you made on pc to save it for later. And thats pretty much how I save my backups of roms etc.. Now if you need to load that back up just plug phone in disk mode cwm fold>backup drag and drop back up that you need. And boot into recovery mode and select back up and restore and select restore and the file boot and your good..
I would download which Rom I would like to use. Save it to pc to a folder that I have made that I store all my roms, backups,radios & rils, kernels..etc.. just to keep myself organized. Once you get your rom just drag and drop it to the ROOT of the sd card do NOT add it in any folder thats on the sd card. Once you have it on the card just boot into recovery flash your rom.. Other then that its easy to flash the rom.. And when you get all your settings set up make a back up and when done save it to the pc and delete it from the sd card if you dont want to keep on the card I do that..
When it comes to battery life it depends on what the rom.. But I like to use killers http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=killersolth scripts for the kernels.. For me I always flash a different kernel upon flashing a new rom. For me having the kernel and killers script is the best combo for me to have for performance and battery life.. now since I have inspire I use the uv lites scripts.
For the most part flashing radios & Rils you would never really need to do that so I wouldnt recommend it for now maybe later but read about it its good to know what it does..
Other sides which I for got to add.. When you flash a new rom its always good to wipe user data.,cache, delvik it makes it for a good clean install with other roms..
Also the desire HD thread which the inspire can use the roms from that thread to.
Well I hope this helps you in any way.. if you need help PM me best of luck

Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!
Well once you root your phone its rooted just can't add a stock Rom to it to make it stock. There is thread in the inspire forum called returning to stock or something like that like as in stock out of the box the members name is genepool I think I had to use that to unroot ny friends phone it was very easy ... So keep in mind that you need to unroot to go back to out of the box stock Rom.
As you may know as my other post always make a recovery of what you have on your phone just in case.

There are a few good ics roms, but none will be rock solid until its released officially to the DHD. Then we can have some goodness here on the inspire. The few that are out there are solid enough for now.
Welcome to xda, big rule is to learn to search. That question could have been answered very quickly by searching. I won't give you the names of the Ics roms out currently for that same reason. Search and ye shall find.

It's not the problem with searching but confusion as i am very new to smartphone,infact it's my first smartphone.Most of the guys in this forum own like above more than 2-3 smartphones.so,there won't be a issue fixing things and knowing things.

My friend so will all the replies and input I would say find what rom you like or seems very popular so if you need anything you know that thread is "alive", root your phone, backup, and flash the rom that you pick out. Once you do that go through all the set up.. and take that backup and save it to your pc(thats what I do) not to throw you off track here but there is kernels that will help out battery life like I stated in one of post. I would also look into kernels, which kernels are very easy to flash and scripts to match with the kernel but I think your ready

I have been watching this video to unroot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0eMcpoTPMU in case if i screw up something.I have a doubt with what the guy is doing.In that he downloads the Froyo Stock rom from internet.But,my doubt is what if we alreay have the file with us,how can we flash it.I have downloaded the stock rom(Gb) from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208507&highlight=inspire+s-on.
So,how to flash the above file?
Thanks in advance!!

Ok, if you want to revert to stock and S-ON use Gene´s Method. Put the file (named PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and the boot in hboot.
Never flash a froyo RUU if your phone is running GB. You will mess the bootloader. DON´T USE YOUTUBE TUTORIALS, just do the homework and read.
Have in mind that if you mess your phone no one but you will care. You can also use the last version of the Hack Kit to revert to stock and S-ON....
Thanks for the reply,Yes,i downloaded the gb stock as i was shipped with it.
My phone is an unlocked one.Will i have any problem while rooting,please advice as I am thinking that the stage is set for me to root my device and flash an ICS rom.
Thanks in advance!!

Any feed back on this rom?
I don't wanna install it & bork my N7
Sorry for sounding like a fool, but if I installed this ROM, could I then use cwm to restore data for apps and such, as I CBA to reinstall them all!
I need de-odexed ROM for battery percentage mod lol, if I can restore data from nandroid backup I'll go ahead and download it!
Thanks

Restoring system app data I would avoid, but to restore user apps use titanium backup. Its free and great if properly used. Just set your filters to make sure you don't include any system apps on your batch backup. And when you restore the apps, I would batch restore the apps and then restore the app data only for apps where you actually need to restore app data.
And don't tell Scott I recommended backing up and restoring.
To the guy scared of borking, don't worry its a good file.

Feedback: Its a stock ROM. If you have ever used the stock ROM then you now how this ROM will act.

My bad, Typo, Changed it to the D version. I did that on my MODS too. I had to fix like 20 posts, lol

Any chance to get a volume wake CWM?

Just cause it's a stock rom doesn't mean it won't bork my tablet, I'm sure it won't but I have had some very dodgy roms

Ummmm....
Ok. Sure.
I have never created a ROM, MOD or TOOL that has ever borked anything.
You can see my creation list here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=57713590
If you are still concerned then simply dont flash it and just move on. I dont know what you are so scared of or why are you making such a big deal

I only asked, Jezz chill man.
When I came across this rom no-one had put any feed back on.
I'll give it a go later.
Do you want me to give feed back or should I just 'Move on'?

Once again, its a stock rooted ROM. Nothing more. Its not a custom ROM. There are no tweaks or no mods, etc. You can provide all the feedback you want. There will be no changes because its stock.
I still have root but TB is saying I don't any reason for this?

TB Doesnt like this root method. Clear TB data and SuperSU data. Make sure you update binaries in Super SU then set the default permissions to allows allow. Other than that I have no clue. I get root with every app no problem.
Let me guess who rated the thread 2 stars? Hmmmm....
2 starsss. no way it is the best Stock ROM around IMO.
I just rate it 5X.
BTW TB works fine here, it acquires root w/o problem.
Haven't find any issue actually.

I know man... Some people are quick to downgrade something when they dont know how to use it. lol
Some peoples kids!
One possible nice addition would be 4in1 power buttons, even if it was hidden somewhere so the wife couldn't accidentally hit it.. The ability to jump to recovery would be nice since it's pissy to do it the hardware "button"/cold way. I know it's stock, and I greatly appreciate it. I have it loaded for my wife, but jumping to recovery from the device without issues, another app, or a tool kit would be nice. Just an idea. Thanks.
Going to check this out, just want something stock and speedy. CM10 was a bit too unstable for me at the moment. Thanks for the ROM!
Ok i want to update my sidekick but what should i update it with and what should the mounts look like and stuff
You may find this thread very helpful.

my phone is not stock tho i just want to make sure if i already put a custom rom in it will i be able to install another rom without worrying about anything
You asked about updating and what the mounts should look like. If you are aready rooted and using CWM then just skip to the part that explains wiping and installing.
Sent from my Sidekick using xda app-developers app [also, where's my L, Samsung? Where? I want it back now!]
so i am safe to just install the rom then
well
What are you trying to do? Install a new ROM? I'm guessing you have a custom ROM already but want to change it to another custom ROM? When you say safe, safe from what? Can you please elaborate?

Nobody is responding to you because
1 your questions been answered already
2 you didn't read anything because if you did you would have easily found the answer
3 read the forums
And just to proove I'm not being a total ****
You can switch to any Rom from a custom Rom as long as the firmware base is the same.
Always wipe all data and cache factory reset before flashing a new Rom unless specified in the Rom that there is no wipe needed.
Never restore data with titanium backup when changing Roma it can cause conflicts and crashes.

As someone said lady GET AN I PHONE! I have never told someone that ,but I've never come across someone so unsuited to a rooted phone.
You are driving pple crazy who are trying to help !!!!
Custom roms are not for everyone. You can't expect others to read your mind ,or answer every single tiny point. Go and learn. Go and find info. It takes time and effort to pick the skills up. Its not hard but you have to put the effort in if you expect others to spend time helping you !
Someone close this thread Please!!

Roms are like clothes for our phones. You dress according to the enviorment in which you will be around. We canot tell you what combintion is the best. It totaly depends on you. Invest time in finding out what rom offers you what you need. Honestly... in my own personal opinion, there is no rom besides glorious overdose that worth installing. Half of what the other roms offer cause glitches in the rom.. and are themed... something you can do yourself. I appreciate the work done on this phone and to the devs currently deving for this phone, kudos. Let's go byond the "impossible" and make this phone a bit more exciting. Cause deving isn't for fame. Its for the thrill of having the chance to creat something someone somewhere will enjoy.

At this time last year, I was anxiously awaiting GOV. There were others but I only trusted ayoteddy at the time. After some time, I tried others and always went back to GOV.
I do these roms because after using root uninstaller to customize it my way, I figured that I should learn how to do this myself.
My roms will never be like GOV....it is perfection. I just do this to occupy my time. I am a recovering alcoholic and this has been sort of like a hobby for me.
My list of fave roms include GOV, GenericGinger, ICS Domination, Clean Fusion (Although now it cannot play YouTube within the web browser) and TouchMIUIwiz.
