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!!!

^ so that root method isn't a good idea then? got a link to current root/s-off instructions?
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 all, I am new to Android and HTC phones, in advance I know that my question can not have any sense. Today i have rooted my Z 1.82 with method described in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905261
After it I have rooted 1.34 and i have also two questions:
1) is it possible now to upgrade to 1.82 and keep root,s-off,supercid? Or which Rom you advice and where i could some interesting ones?
2) referring to method i have used to root what method you suggest to undo all? Can i get somwhere a ROM for unbranded 1.82? My CID was HTC_032 if it is useful info for you.
Thanks

Hi,
If you get a custom ROM which uses the 1.82 base you will be able to keep root, SuperCID and S-OFF. The ROM that I am using (link in my sig) is Virtuous ROM which is based off the 1.85 release. Really great if you want the latest build with Sense.
You can use the same method (i believe) to Unroot, SIM-Lock and S-On.
Regards.
Ok ,thanks. Actually now I am using virtuous 1.0.1 as you, but my problem is that I didn't make any backup for my stock one before rooting. Now I would like to now how to back to the status from before rooting. My telcom provider is Era so I need stock Rom branded by Era :/

I think yes I ve used it to downgrade from 1.82 to 1.34 to get permroot. It is pretty well described in one of the sticked guides, and actually in my first post you can find the link.

This is the "Accessories" subforum.
As already mentioned, if you want a more recent Sense build, flash Virtuous. Its based on 1.85, and has some added features, but really not that modified. Much easier than messing with the newer official ROMs (which are not presently rootable).

To root 1.82 you must downgrade.
Safest and best way is the goldcard way
I had 1.82 unrooted desire Z
i used the goldcard way.
this link brings you to the topic.
Once you reach the third part.
you have to do following first
Start command promt.
Browse the command to you ADB folder
enter: ADB Shell Chmod 777 /data
Now you are able to pull the misc file from you phone.
This is normally only available at rooted.
now i run Cyanogenmod v7 =)
Kind regards
Resurrecting a 2-month old thread, posted in the completely wrong subforum, was probably a bit pointless.
Just saying.
I know you can use desire be time on inspire and everyone says they r the same but after using the root kit its displaying my phone as desire will it work if I flash a desire kernel now? I looked but couldn't find a straight forward answer thanks.

Not exactly sure what your trying to say. If you use a DHD rom from the DHD threads then you are going to have to apply a sound fix. If you are looking for a stock rom just grab Cleard,TCP or DILLIGAF from the inspire dev section.
Well I did the long superoneclick process that fixed sound and now I want a kernel that's overclocked and not sure which are safe to flash I came from a cappywhere I could flash almost anything and never really brick lol.

I'm using the tcp rom and lee droids kernel. Be aware that you may need to reflash your radio to get gps working. Then flash kernel
Even as a newbie I was able to unlock my inspire using [TOOL] HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V12.3 (UPDATED ON 08-11-2011) THANKS, THANKS, THANKS. I found the hack in a developers' forum and I am unable to post there. And, yes, I did read the effen-manual but I still have a few questions-
1- how do I know for sure that my phone is rooted and unlocked.
2- what radio should I install
3- what ROM should I flash
Just getting to this point has been challenge for me but I want to complete the task in the best way possible.
Thanks for any pointers.
1. If superuser is installed and running
2. Theirs all type so it may differ for others. I'm currently on att gingerbread one
3. Try them all. That's the best comment theirs only your opinion.

Good choice. If you're tired of sense I recommend AOSP

Hi newbie-2,
I have the same question about the radio. Which radio did you end up flashing?
What steps did you use, and did you flash the RIL as well?
Sorry for all the questions. I read quite a bit in the HTC Inspire 4G Radio Flashing forum post in the Development forum, but I'm afraid it left me a bit confused...

What do you guys think is the best method to root the inspire.

Hello everyone,
I recently bought HTC Sensation 4g (T-mobile) and it's already S-OFF, rooted (Superuser by ClockworkMod) and recovery is CWM 5.0.2.0 and it has stock rom Android 2.3.4. Recently, I got alerted about an update of 4.0.4 for my HTC then I downloaded it but can't install it so I guess it's because it's rooted. I really want to install 4.0.4 on my HTC sensation 4g then I searched up for roms until I found this rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654347
Now, my question is, how should I flash it? Should I normally just flash it via CWM or via odin? Or I will have to go back to stock recovery for flashing the rom that Steve0007 posted on the thread linked above. And just to confirm, is it compatible with my device?
Android: 2.3.4
HTC Sense: 3.0
Software number: 1.50.531.1
Thanks!

First upgrade your firmware to 3.33universal
Go to the development section and search for kohr-ah's thread
Follow the instructions carefully and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
After that you have to flash an ics or jellybean Rom because your current Rom won't boot with ics firmware
Edit:do not never use Odin for anything.it is not for sensation devices

And uhh, it's really big headache unlike Samsung mobiles.. easy to root and easy to get back to stock. HTC is a big headache for those things.

Hey, just changed my mind, how about flashing another good custom ROM? Should I just flash custom ROM via CWM? 4.0.4 stock is way too hard and gonna take time.
