Just use attn1's hack kit. The one click wouldn't work for mw either.

The current version of the hack kit is 12.3 and should work for rooting your GB Inspire.

D/l the ace hack kit from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
follow the instructions exactly. Then using the same instructions flash one of the many rooted GB roms. I used this one:

there are many in the dev section, I just prefer mostly stock but rooted.
The hack kit worked really well for me so I would suggest that as well. Read the effin manual first though. And you just have to follow up until the "Options" section, unless you want to flash a new radio.

Bubby's hasn't been updated to work with the 2.3.3 OTA Gingerbread. Use ATTN1's hack kit; it has been updated.
Try hack kit v12.3... There is a link in the devs by attn1

Do I have this correct as the quickest way to get Cyanogen on my Inspire.
Inspire Hack kit > Clockwork recovery > Cyanogen ROM flash?
What is the S-eng off?

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.

Thank you sir!
Is there a one click root program or batch command that will root the inspire with gingerbread?
Sent from my HTC inspire at Ludacris speed
No, the need for a gold-card makes it impossible for a truly one-click solution, but the Ace Hack Kit comes closest (and currently is the only one that works with GB Inspires):

ill be rooting my friends inspire tonight, he currently has the latest 2.3.3 ota installed. in your opinion what is the best, stockish but stable type rom for him to run as he is a android beginner. i don't need all the overclocking, bells and whistles. is there any roms with sense 3.0 with the 3.0 lockscreen?
also what kernel/radio is recommended?
Virtuous seems to have the best reviews in rom manager. I tried rooting with 2.3.3 installed. It was a PITA!!! Do yourself a favor and use the method I posted to downgrade first, then root and flash a good rom!!!

Attn1's method works fine for gingerbread.

thanks, hey i remember you back from the hero days!
Sense you have been around for awhile you know that best ROM threads don't last long. Best bet is to try a few on said device and then choose the best for that device/person.

Hi everyone,
i am quite aware that the tmobile spectrum and att are different and i will not get any HSPA+ speed, just edge.
however i need to unlock this phone, and have until friday to do so.
Looks like the ace hack kit is the only one?
is there a dummies version of a guide out there?
I have rooted my x2 but of course that is a CDMA phone, there is no unlocking etc.
From what i have seen that ace kit is the way to do this.
The phone reads:
Android Version
2.3.3
Sense
2.1
Baseband:
12.56.60.25U_26.10.04.03_M
Kernel
Doesnt probably matter...the rest. i assume its more about bb and android version.
after that i assume simplemobile has apn info, i would hope. any help is appreciated and i will give thanks.
Download the hack kit and read the manual that is included. Read the entire thing several times.

The hack kit leaves the phone in the state it was before you rooted, just with an unlocked bootloader and s-off. There will be nothing else you need to do, unless you want to tweak or flash a custom rom.

thx to both of you. my concern is that i have no idea if the phone shipped with GB or not. since it is 2.3.3 and this is the way that i received it, and the original owner is completely oblivious to it all.

The hack kit will s-off/root/unlock both Froyo and Gingerbread Inspire shipping/updated ROMs.

Seriously you could have found out this by searching and reading.
I got your 10 char right here
Agreed. Please search and read before opening a new thread. This is a development site. Not a support site.

I bought HTC Inspire 4G phone, but the software recognized it as Desire HD even on the market so i'm not sure if i want to add launcher where to look , Inspire 4g or Desire HD ?
please any explanation !
the inspire is basically the north american version of the desire hd... most of the custom roms available for one will work for the other.
have you flashed a custom rom, or are you on stock still?
either way its nothing to worry about, your phone will work just fine.
If you are using the stock rom and about phone information says it is desire, then you have a desire. Many custom roms are made to be used for both phones bit does not detect the inspire unless you flash inspiremod....and not all roms from one phone will work on the other. Make sure that if you flash a custom Rom it is compatible with your phone. Otherwise you might get stuck.

I'm also getting the same thing. And I wanna root. Which guide should I follow exactly? The DHD rooting guide or the Inspire?

If you have an inspire, then definitely the inspire guide. Read a lot and be prepared, if you get stuck Google it or pm someone. Have fun :thumbup:

Use the Hack Kit....don't use any other method....It works for both DHD and Inspire and if you follow all instructions you will be s-off and rooted in less than 5 minutes.
