Simple question from a cautious rooting Virgin... Can I use unrevoked3 for the HTC Inspire 4G? You can choose between Desire and DesireHD. Will these work for the Inspre?

That is correct. You dont need Eng S-off. The hack kit will give you s-off which is what you need.
HTC Inspire 4G Simple Root and S-OFF or HTC Inspire Hack Kit are my choices. Simple??

Yeah they are both fairly simple if you read and follow directions lol . I would go with using the hack kit for the simple reason that you gain a bit if experience using commands with adb and sdx tools.

Is there any way to root the inspire with new stock 2.3.3 update without a computer? Like universal androot or z4root? I don't have access to a pc anytime soon.

If you are waiting for a solution which does not require the use of a computer, you will likely never see one. I would guess that even the "official" unlock coming from HTC will still be done via a computer.

Yep. That hack kit does have the files for a mac as well. I have a mac and a windows 7 computer, but I usually try to stick with Windows OS for this kind of stuff.

Any info on this ? did HTC announce some rooting patch coming up ?
I s-off and rooted my HTC Aria (2.2.2 hboot 1.02) using revolution (straight foward), but from what I read here so far doign the same on ym wife Inspire 4G would require a rom wipe out loosing all my data (still on 2.2.1 but hopeing to get GB soon when ATT pushes it as again installing of HTC site warn about erasing personal data), which I don't want to do... don't know how to back it all up before (only contacts are saved to Outlook on PC).

Jump onto #liberatedAria IRC channel tomorrow and I bet ATTN1 will let you test his new hack kit that won't mess up your data ("hack kit lite"). I've run it myself and it's pretty slick. I think it's only for linux at present.

I did but unfortunately the script left my wife's Inspire unsuable - wouldn't boot up even in recovery mode! that was an Inspire with 2.3.3 (OTA update from ATT from the stock 2.2.1) HBOOT 0.85.0024 S-ON, on win7.
First time I ran it, it partially worked and installed CW 4.0.x for recovery so I was able to do a full backup but no root and no S-OFF, but ran normally otherwise (with all info intact)... second time I ran it again (to get s-off), it failed after unloading a new radio and from there on would not boot/recovery at all - black screen after logo. I freaked out. Must have been a bad day for attn1 as he kicked me out of the chat room twice (loosing all usefull info in the chat above ) even when I first came in before I started.
Eventually I was able to restore it back to HTC official 2.3.3 RUU .exe using the fastboot mode, and restore most of my info back. I couldn't get 2.2.1 RUU to install (got from somewhere here) as I was trying to see if maybe the hack only worked with that previous rev.
Guess I'll be waiting for the official release and the bugs to be worked out for Windows...
So there is no way to do this on a PPC Mac? And why doesn't it work on a PPC Mac?

You need an upgrade in the pc area.
The old power macs are just too outdated. Writing software for an old closed system like yours would be pointless and a waste of time. Even though you run osx I'm pretty sure its a special flavor of osx, because they where using 64 bit IBM processors at the time.

Hey guys, I am trying to downgrade and root my friends HTC Inspire 4G, but it will not downgrade to Froyo. I have a rooted MyTouch 4G with CM7 and Virtuous Unity, so I know what I am doing. The problem happens when I boot into the HBoot screen. It recognizes the PD98IMG.zip file, but when it checks it with my phone, it says,"model id is incorrect". Any suggestions?
Gold card problem maybe? Are you using Ace Hack Kit?
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
No, I have not done anything with GoldCard, and I am using ADB to do this if that makes any difference. And no, I am not using Ace Hack Kit.
Just use the hack kit...its very simple to use.

Rooting devices are not all the same. Each device has a different way to get it done. Just because it works on your phone doesnt mean it will work on this one. As stated use the Ace Hack get to get it done.
Greetings everyone,
I have been searching on how to root my phone and while everything seems fine, it requires that i download Ace Hack Kit in this forum, which is no longer available (seems like they had a break up).
Can you please help me on where to download the Ace Hack Kit or what to do in order to root my HTC Inspire 4G?

Hey,
I have a question, I been searching this forum on how to root the htc inspire 4g, but here is my problem. I know I need the ace kit hack, and a ROM i chose to use the cm jellytime. But, when i popped in the phone switched it to debud mode USB, opened the cmd hack it said something about enter in a passkey, then read the effen manual. I did READ the effen manual. I downloaded the htc sync application, was that my htc inspire 4g drviers? Any help would be appreciate, thank you guys.
Are you asking where to get the pass key? Or the drivers? Either way, instructions are in the manual.

You read the manual but not for comprehension...all you are asking is in there. make sure that you understand what you are about to do before messing the phone.

I think the safest route is via aahk. It's tried and true. You will definitely take more risk with any other method and most just don't work and require more time in fixing it so you can then use aahk.

No. unrevoked does not support your device. Why try to mess the phone when you can simply do it using the right tool? Just because of a 2 pages manual? then you should stay stock or your next post will be..."...I messed my phone and I am stucked..."
