Is there someway of rooting a phone directly from the phone?

I have a friend who said another friend of his, taught him, but he forgot.

With some phones its possible...but not the Inspire due to the downgrade during the rooting process.

It's not necessarily better, it was, at one time, simpler to use.
That's changed. The hack kit has gotten easier as of late. It was also the original rooting method and offers a level of precision in performing certain actions that bubby's doesn't allow for, if I'm not mistaken.
Either way, it's not going to be a one-click event, there are steps you need to do correctly or neither one will work, primarily the making of a gold card.
Inspired Ace 1.0.1¦ XDA Premium

Yea there is no way to root from the phone for the inspire. As stated above you have to downgrade so a computer is necessary. I used the hack kit for my first root that wasn't a simple one click root. It was very simple to use. There are plenty of tutorials on it and its very self explanatory with those. I had a little trouble on windows but swapped to my mac and it went flawlessly. Good luck with rooting. Use xda its your friend and search before you ask. People tend not to be kind if the answer is easy to find. If you have any questions you cant find an answer for ask around here there are plenty of experienced people to help you out around here and are plenty of great devs. Good luck enjoy the inspire i know i do.

before internet, you went to the library and researched stuff

What you are doing is not going to as easy as an iPhone. Please understand what you are doing before you do it. This is not a toy like the iPhone. You can really mess things up if you don't do your reasearch first. All the info you need is in the stickies. No YouTube video will be able to replace the reading you need to do. Welcome to the big leagues lol

[Q] Can i ?

i was wondering if it was possible to make a youtube tutorial on how to root the samsung galaxy s 4g? i would like to make a complete tutorial,showing everybody how to root/unlock their phones and having the ability to have gingerbread 2.3.4, but i would like to have this website as a sponsor. i want to tell everybody where to get all the tools needed to root and upgrade their phones. would this be possible?

Do you have a camera? If so, you can follow my GB starter pack guide to the letter while recording the process in order to let people know how to get on Gingerbread with root and a custom kernel. Would be awesome if you could do it, will wait to hear back from you.

of course it is as long as you have a camera to do it with

yep i have a camera

Then it's possible.
If real ****s dead then nigga i'm a bastad ( aka sgs4g )

Just make them. Then when you have enough views and subscribers apply for a YouTube partnership.

[Q] Need help with rooting for the first time

Hello, I have had my HTC inspire 4g for almost a year now, after looking around and talking to a few people, rooting seems to be something I am interested in.
But I am on a mac and I can't find any good tutorials, if someone could please help me out, that would be great.

First, the Inspire's been out for 9 months.
Second, use this:

And as it says all over the place, read the effen manual. There are mac instructions in there.

Why so anal about the time? If you gonna help, help but don't be snarky. This is q/a for God's sake.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

Yeah had mine for nine months too and also feels almost a year...hmm
I rooted my inspire on my MacBook pro using bootcamp on a fresh install of windows7 ultimate.
So you can try that and use the hack kit, since win7 is fresh there were no conflicting apps that the effen manual warns you about.Rooted just about under 5 minutes.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App

It works on Mac too. Just be sure to fully read the manual. Also make sure hack kit and its entire contents are extracted to the directory you will run it from, otherwise it won't work.

[Q] Rooting Inspire 4g - Ace hack kit removed

Hey all. I've searched all over for a root for my gfs Inspire. Everything I find points me to the Ace hack kit. However, it looks like that tool was removed. Can anyone repost the files/guide? I can't find the info anywhere.
Thanks a million.

Ace Hack Kit is not in XDA anymore. For the time being, there´s no other place.

Yeah...gee thanks to all the people who cant seem to read and follow simple directions. XDA has lost a very valuable person.

ya, selfishness and laziness cost us the person that gave us all the tool that actually let us do so much more with our phones not to mention his constant hours of support to help those with problems. xda really should be either a paid membership or invite only. the ppl too lazy to follow rules wont be missed if they cant access the forum. /endrant

i agree with you

We could always track down those members and bann them since they didn't follow the rules. It may not be something that will bring him back, but it is the only nice thing I can think of doing.

It won't work. Xda seems to be more of a help desk than a dev site. Maybe the higher ups want it that way. Who knows.

No more Hack Kit in XDA..is not about Inspire or DHD....is about XDA....that is unfortunate, but it will probably draw the attention of the people round here!...at least I hope.

It is always sad to see a valued member leave. I wasn't aware of his work as I spend most of my time in the atrix 2 forum.
Are there any other known methods for rooting the inspire? My gfs phone is nearing unusable with the constant reboots. I have yet to find any information on fixing that issue as well. She has only had the phone about a month. Any input would be appreciated.

Well, before rooting is always good to check that the device has no hardware issues. Try doing a factory reset and see what happens. Try pulling the sdcard and see how it behaves for a day.
If is still misbehaving, then take it to warranty....rooting will not fix hardware issues. Then, when u are sure that no hardware issues are the cause of the problems, come and visit us in the IRC channel in my signature...the Hack Kit is still there....

Also if I'm allowed to put my two cents in here... but charge to 100% and as it dies check the percentage if it reboots write down the percent. Do it until it dies fully charge it and repeat. If the numbers match up its the battery I had bought this phone used. It rebooted at 96% and 42%. Got a new battery and no more random reboots

I edited my previous post to state where I found the link.
Many of the users searching for info on rooting the Inspire will end up here.
If you had followed your own suggestion and searched you would have found the answer yourself.

That wasn't my point. You don't just go posting links without saying anything like where they came from. Thanks for changing it.
Really hoping we don't see a bunch of people opening threads on how to root without mentioning his name.

Ok, I looked for a torrent and couldn't find one. I decided to make a torrent myself, and I will seed for a while. If I can get some email addresses I'll send the torrent that way, or if I could upload the torrent here I would.
It is ok if I make a torrent of this and seed isn't it??
