marsdta i had installed this rom.. but its not the same stock rom found in the factory inspire 4g.
in the froyo rom you commented in thats the rom the inspire initially came out of factory. New inspires are starting to come with the gingerbread ... what i linked to... out of the box. so yes both are stock factory
is this the first phone you have ever tried to unlock?
i have unlocked several phones....and i can tell you from your other thread, you were already unlocked.
you had the ability to make a phone call, even if it was only for 10 seconds....i can assure you if it was not unlocked you wouldnt have gotten any voice or data at all....

you had data right? not on wifi?
you were able to place at least one call right?
an unlock is an unlock. you either have it or you dont. if you were able to make even ONE call.....you were unlocked.

well today i flashed a rom thats s-on and locked. and i had the same scenario that i had with the unlocked, s-off rom.. same behavior .. i made 2 calls that lasted 7 secs and they dropped.. thereafter, i'm not able to make calls. and the tmobile logo appears then disappears in the upper corner..
i think someone here said it best. i might have had a bad flash the 1st time.. i will reflash today and see if i get the same result. i'll let you know how it goes.
You've done like 6 flashes now at my count. What are the odds that they're all bad?

the flashing of roms isnt what i'm talking about.. i'm talking about the hack kit that i think something went wrong in. so thats why i flashed to a stock rom so that i can run the hack kit again to re-root and s-off again. hopefully this will do it..
if it doesnt work than i'll buy an unlock code.

If you ever ran the hack kit, the SIM identifier information has been zeroed out (2048 bytes of partition 7 from 0x80000 to 0x80800) and you can't get it back--even if you return to S-ON--unless you saved the partition 7 backup gfree writes to your SD card when you first rooted. You can ask me how I know this or what it all means, if you care, but you haven't listened to one iota of anything I've said so far anyway.

gene poole, you said that i'm unlocked.. i agree with you.. but the fact remains that i'm not able to make calls.. again, when i make a call the call doesnt even go through.. it just hangs there. and i used a friend's tmobile sim.. and that still didnt work.
i think you mentioned also that my radio rom could be at fault. if thats the case, should i flash the radio rom to another version?

hi gene poole.. i installed the offical stock rom (RUU) from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191959
everything is ok, except that like i told you before, i want to buy an unlock code. but when i put in my sim card, instead of seeing a message like, "network locked", i get "phone doesnt have sim card inserted." and it gives me the option of turning off the phone or restarting it.
so i dont know if i can still use an unlock code or not.. i just want to use this phone on tmo.. why is it that hard to do?

Is the second post that has the download for bubby's program the one i need to get if i am trying to root? I do have the new gingerbread official leak installed, but i decided it wasnt fast enough so decided to root.
thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406
If not, do i need to use another tool, and where can i find it?
Please and thanks! (i would've posted this in the above thread, but im still under 10 posts so cant post in the development forum)
I used it to root. His program runs you through everything, including the gold card stuff. Once you're finished, just flash whatever you want.
kk, well i just downloaded it just to see if my antivirus would quarantine rage like people said it would (i use avast internet security), but i checked the virus chest and all it has in it is some stuff from awhile back. Does this mean rage didnt get quarantined, or did avast just not even let me see the rage quarantine?

Wait, you have the AT&T (Cingular 2.47.502.7) GB ROM Installed as-is stock on a non-rooted Inspire? If so, then currently no rooting methods will work for you. You'll need to do it by hand with fre3vo instead of rage or psneuter.
ah kk, thank you. From what i have read Fr3vo is only a temp root, is that true? cause im going for full root so i can get a kingdom rom (it seems the fastest from what ive seen, and it has sense 3.0, which is a + for me)

Yeah its for temp root but you need temp root first in order to trick your phone into a downgrade then achieve full soff

I don't see why it should matter. A gold card is a gold card.
Ok, so i had gotten the exception error message, and i found it out. the adb.exe from my first time of opening the program was still running, and stopping the CID process from running.

I'm not taking a shot at your english but from the sounds of it you rooted, you had a custom ROM installed? and then you put in your sim and re-ran the hack kit? I'm not 100% sure what you actually did but if the hack kit ran and you were rooted and using the rcmix rom, running the hack kit again is explicitly stated not a good idea and will jam you up. If you did this, consult the IRC chat room in the OP of the Hack Kit Thread, I'm sure attn1 and those guys have seen this situation before.

Can you get to hboot by powering up holding volume down and power button at the same time. Ifso see if it is s-off? If so you might be able to enter rocovery this way and flash a rom.
Usually when I have an issue with a rom or phone I flash the stock rooted att rom (pd98 zip) and start over with changing the rom. Sorry I can't give you the zip file I'm on the road all day today but if you search q&a section you will find it.
Hope it helps.

what it sounds like this user did was ran the hack kit and rooted fine (assumption), the mention of the RCmix ROM makes me believe he installed the ROM and then realized the SIM card wasn't in, so for some reason he/she ran the hack kit again? which if you read the OP of the hack kit, Attn1 explicitly states don't do that or you will get jammed up. I'm assuming Attn1 can fix this quickly since I imagine this issue has happened on more then one occasions and he'll be a better resource to fix this rather then us trying to troubleshoot this from the trial and error side. But if this user cannot get into the IRC chatroom, there isn't much more any of us can do.
So true some people just want to jump into situations without researching. We try to help I dont like to see someone turning their phone into a $400 paper weight lol

agreed. if people dont research HOW to root the phone, likely they dont know WHY to root the phone.
So if I can enter HBOOT. but when I try to enter recoveryel phone does the same. htc logo appears and disappears until it almost off the screen ..
and yes is it s-off.
There's a thread at the top of the Inspire General forum that explains exactly how to fix this. It's been there for a month. Do your research and you'll find the answers you need.
If the rooting process worked correctly.
Here is the rooted updated ATT Gingerbread ROM. Just place PD98 in root of SD card then go into bootloader and let it do its thing. When it ask to install volume up for yes. AS ADVICED " RESEARCH"
Place it in the root of your SD card (you will have to remove SD card and use adapter to move zip file to root of SD card if PC does not recognize phone with USB cable) and power phone off then power back up holding down power button and volume down button at same time. Phone should go to bootloader then it will recognize the PD98 zip file and ask if you want to istall. Volume up for yes and it will do its thing. No need to try to get into recover phone will do it itself with the PD98 zip file. Zip is (ATT ROM 2.47.502.7 w/Radio - 26.10.04.03_M)
This is for Rooted Stck ROM
http://www.fileserve.com/file/RtVn4Re/PD98IMG.zip
NO NEED TO RENAME JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLACE IN ROOT OF SD
Hope it helps
PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING ON YOUR PHONE IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING.

Then you can flash a custom ROM if you like.
Been there
same thing happened to me, tried flashing cm7, it got stuck in an infinite loop so I did the same thing and had to get a new phone.
Just make up an alibi don't tell them u rooted and make sure there is no damage to ur phone. They just gave me a refurb phone and now I am using RCmix3d.

Sorry if I'm totally off base here but I do believe reading on XDA somewhere that with the HTC One series phones when you unlock the bootloader it locks the phone from being able to flash recoverys.
This is the reason why I have waited to do the bootloader unlock I didnt want to screw myself from ever being able to flash custom roms.
you have to use this unlock method for the bootloader so why would it screw anything else up? It opens up all possibilities, not close them.

Nope. I have flashed CWM recovery at least 4 times on an international One X AFTER unlocking the bootloader. I wish that were it....
I think you may be thinking of firmware, which is a real mess, because unlocking your bootloader can set your CID to "none", and thus, you can't flash different firmware (i.e., an EU firmware on an Asian phone)...not that that would matter for these carrier-branded phones...
Good job and great progress. Unfortunately, none of us AT&T users can join in on the fun.

If that was completely true, then the Tegra 3 model's would not have cwm recovery... yet they do.

i think what Killathehnoob is trying to say is that its only the ROGERS version of the ONE X that when unlocking the BLer HTC has somehow lock the other partitions so that custom recoveries and kernels are not able to be flashed to the phone...which essentially could be the case because all they said they will "unlock" the BLer...BUT they never said they would NOT do anything else in the process. maybe its a possibillity that has been over looked...just THINK TANKING is all

I wonder if the fact that its new proprietary qualcomm chip is the reason why its being 'limited'... so we may have to rethink the whole initialization process.
we cant even get to the point that the logcat is able to start logging. So we're flying blind.
We've extended the time between loading to the soft reboot after the flash... but that doesnt tell us much.

Interesting. I think the lack is fastboot boot is what they are referring to. This would prevent custom kernel development on an s-off device, but should still allow flashing of insecure stock boot images, as with the int. HOX, althoug i read it again, anf maybe they are talking about more than that. I am not sure that the article is saying that there is something different with the Rogers version vs other versions, but it seems like there may be, and obviously with the Att version. I think I will spend a day just reading, trying to pick other devs' brains, and start fresh...thanks for the input.

The 'fastboot boot' command works however, its how we got root in the first place.

Just to be clear, you are not referring to fastboot flash boot, right?

Again thanks for this. Back to the drawing board!!!!
I've been running CM9 for a few weeks now, but have decided that I want to get S-Off and open the phone's capability up some more... Anyway, I'm on a MT4GS:
HBOOT 1.45.0013
Nov 21 2011 build
Tried flashing this https://www.cx.com/mycx/share/O2W61....00_11.16.3504.20_2_release_245247_signed.zip
from weekendsr2short's mirror page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878329) of Blue6ix's stuff...(i tried autoflashing from the bootload/fastboot screen)
anyway, it loads up like it is going to actaully flash, but nothing changes on the Bootloader screen. The phone is unlocked via HTC's tool and is rooted. Any help is greatly appreciated! Please lemme know if any more info is needed.

If you're rooted, install a stock-based ROM and then use juopunutbear.

OK, that's what I was hoping to do. I noticed in the JB instructions that it said I must be a stock RUU not a custom ROM or something to that effect. I am on CWM 5.Something so a rom flash is NP. Any recommended ROMs? I.e One that worked for you? I tried the wire trick about 100 times over the course of an hour or so(on cm9.1), but then reread the bit shout the rom again.
Thanks for all the responses so far!
Any stock based ROM will do. I went with MikTouch myself and it worked like a charm! (on the 4th try so be patient....)

well, one down, one to go. I have my phone all dialed in...now its time to fix my wife's... Thanks again Gents! (& Ladies, as applicable!)
edit: well, hers is done now... I ended up using another SD card, the original one I tried was kinda old, but the newer one I normally use worked on the 2nd try... didnt lose any data either... her sd card on the other hand was toasted and needed to be reformated... anyway, both phones are now S-Off!!

yeah, Ive been running root since my MT3G way back when...couldnt stand how laggy that thing was with all the bloat... wasnt even that great with CM6 but still night and day better than stock (=hooked on rooting). then upgraded to the MT4g and now this thing... was fairly concerned about all the extra hoops but wouldve just chosen another platform had I borked it...glad I didnt, saved me some funds!
On a related note, what radios are you guys running? Are there any issues between the GB radios and ICS ones? Im assuming so, but with the custom ROMs/kernels anything should be able to be overcome I'm hoping... I know I def. had issues on CM7 -> CM9 on the reg. 4G when swapping radios...
I don't generally swap my radios around since there are only two that I'm aware of. But I DID find that the new one (when I replaced my phone) seemed to lock a signal a bit quicker but for me the original radio gets MUCH better phone reception. Depends on your phone I suppose.
(you'll be glad you went with this phone though. basically a Sensation with a keyboard)

cool, I just flashed the older one today... been having really crappy recption on campus lately (esp. since switching from the MT4G) better reception is what I'd rather have... ill give this one a week or so and see if I think its any better... I like the phone a lot already... i still use the soft keyboard from time to time as I forget the other one is there, but it comes in really handy on certain sites...
Hello guys, I've been lurking the forums for hours trying to find a thread with an issue close to mine, and this is the closest I got. I followed all the necessary steps on the first page, but the problem I'm having is when I try to flash the PG59IMG.zip file, it says "Loading... PG59IMG.zip", but then it says "Checking....PG59IMG.zip" and afterwards it says "Wrong zipped image!" Any ideas what it could mean? I just want to get it back to stock. Any help is greatly appreciated.
THIS MAY HELP YOU
Thanks for the link. It said I need to relock the phone in order to flash the image, but when i type "fastboot oem lock" into command prompt, I get a message saying 'fastboot' is not recognized as an internal or external command, inoperable program or batch file." I'm guessing this means my fastboot wasn't set up correctly, but I don't know where to go from here. As always, thanks again for any help or advice.

Does fastboot work like this
./fastboot oem lock
On my PC some of my fastboot commands need that.

Thanks so much for your help guys. I followed the instructions on the pathing link, and the phone is currently flashing the image. I'll post a final time once I can confirm everything is fine.
Hey guys.....
I tried flashing IceColdJelly on my HTC One X ATT and i was rushing and i just remembered a notice before i rebooted the phone that it says there was no OS something something to this rom and i clicked OK and it attempted to reboot. Now its not turning on at all. Cannot get into download mode or ANYTHING. Don't tell me to try pressing any more buttons because i've been doing that for the past 3 hours. I know my way around phones and this is my biggest problem i've ever faced. I put in the phone to the computer and it recognizes it but has 3 beeps after basically cannot do anything to the phone. I have TWRP recovery on it btw. Basically, its a paperweight. Cannot turn on a single freaking thing. Please help. I cannot thank you guys enough if you can help in any way....
Thanks.

You can recover if you had anything less than hboot 1.14 so if you were on software 2.20 before you rooted your out of luck

Taking the time to research before flashing a ROM that is not even meant for your phone would have saved a lot of heartache:

I have downgraded using JET from 1.14 to 2.20. Process includes bricking your phone to get into special recovery mode that give RW access to hboot, but you do need TWRP at some point I think (not sure though) to get in bricked, before you start downgrade, so you might not be able to downgrade.
However, I don't think you are SOL. Look into manual steps of downgrading here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32761598&postcount=107
OP gives you there way to verify that device is connected and part of the steps is listing partitions. If you can get partitions listed on your PC, then I think you can just dd system image and it should come back to life... also have you tried 2.20 RUU? I had a corrupted system partition (bad sector causing reboot when I would try to access system - including booting phone or into twrp recovery). I ended up using RUU (which also failed from the same bug, but It actually reformatted my system partition giving me access to twrp and then I was able to restore).

This method will not work because he's corrupted his extended partition table. All that's left is the write-protected hboot, which the processor can't find because the partition table is gone. So he can't boot into recovery.
People have been working on this issue for a long time and there is currently no solution if you're on 2.20.
To the OP, where did you get a copy of ICJ? The latest version is supposed to contain asserts to prevent flashing on this phone. You can get this repaired by HTC for $150 or something. Or, if your ethics allow it, people have played dumb and gotten warranty replacements.
Next time don't go rooting and romming the day you get your phone.

If there is no ROM loaded onto the phone, as in doing a full /system wipe, the asserts will not work.
The assert that's being flashed looks at the build.prop that's already loaded onto the phone.

And of course, it's good practice to wipe /system when changing roms. I didn't think of that. That's obviously why people are still getting in trouble.

I don't ever wipe /system when flashing ROMs. It gets wiped when you flash anyway. I always wipe user data (factor reset), Dalvik and cache. But that's it.

Yep, if you format /system, the build.prop is gone, and the assert looks to the build.prop.. why it flashes, I don't know.
The way its set up seems like it would only flash if "ro.device=endeavoru" or whatever the line is, is present. I guess there is no fail safe to stop the process if the build.prop isn't present
Yeah, i'll skip the playing dumb idea. I prefer just going straight up to HTC about this. Would i be able to call in to HTC and ask them how much it costs? That is, if they accept these kinds of repairs.

They can fix any software corruption they have the tools too they know their phones front to back and can rewrite anything to them...just tell them what happened and they'll tell you the cost( maybe they'll feel bad and give a nice price) honesty can get you in good places sometimes
Thanks. Will send everyone who replied a thank button. Regardless of what type of comment...... I'll need to check the cost. Hopefully its below 100....
