I don't know what the deal is, maybe my pc just sucks. I've installed the hack file and I read the manuel. The process fails everytime, it tells me either USB debugging isn't enabled, my phone isn't connected or the drivers are not installed. It can only be the drivers, so I read that the drivers are included in the file, ill try and install them and it fails everytime. I have no idea what it could be.

Install HTC sync from the HTC website, turn off your antivirus, make sure USB debugging is enabled, put in the SD Card you want to make a goldcard out of, hook up your phone and let 'er rip.

It does, what I think he ment was when you install HTC sync it also installs the drivers. When you uninstall it you have the option of keeping the drivers which is what you want

is the ituneshelper.exe running? if not, try killing that process via task manager.

Ill try and reinstall sync just for the drivers.

The options are to remove or fix, if I hit fix it just does the same thing over again, if I hit remove, than it just removes whatever is there. I'm stuck.

I have a super slow net book which I already tried, It gives me the same issues when installing the drivers.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

You can have htc installed you just have to shut it down. When you first plug in your phone htc sync will start up. In your system icon tray there will be a little phone icon. Right click it and hit exit. If htc is actually running ace hack kit won't start.

Need help sideloading apps

I picked up a useful inspire the other day and I'm having issues sideloading apk's. My 2 other phones sideload fine with the wondermachine but this one wont. It tells me device not found. I've done a few things that I've read online, installed some drivers and htc sync from a website, still didn't work so I uninstalled them all. Btw,debugging is enabled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
After installing the drivers did you uninstall HTC sync? If I recall you suppose to uninstall syn and leave the drivers on you PC when using the wondermachine.
HTC Inspire does allow you to side load now, you should not need the wondermachine.
I uninstalled everything, but only after nothing worked, wasn't aware that I had to uninstall sync only. Could someone send me links for the proper downloads please.
How do we sideload without the wondermachine? I don't see unknown sources in the phones settings, unless there's another option to install apk's.

ATT has allowed you to side load. Under settings>applications>unknown sources should be check off. If you do not have this option, call att and they will push it to your phone.

No such file or directory
Hi. This is my first post on here so don't go too hard on me, but, I'm trying to root my HTC Inspire 4G using Advanced Ace Hack Kit.
I'm reading/using the effen manual, and when it tells me to type in ./hack-ace.sh in Terminal it tells me there's no such file or directory.
I don't understand how this could be, because i have everything installed.
Can someone please help me out??
Thank you!
NOTE: I'm using a Macbook white running Lion 10.7.4
------FIX------
I simply dragged the file hack-ace.sh into Terminal and pressed enter and it worked!
No. Plug your phone in. With USB debugging turned on and in charge only mode. Connect it to your pc Then run ace. when it ask for the passkey open tools find Cajun.txt open it. It should give u the passkey if not use the irc channel if it work enter the number 1 press enter wait for it to finish this should take sometime 10 mins. Or so.

Do you have the necessary drivers installed on the pc? Try installing Kies on the pc. It will install the proper drivers for you.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Yes i have installed keis i even downloaded the drivers straight from the Samsung website too. Everytime i connect my phone to the computer(any computer) it says usb not recognized/malfunction. I have read many threads about how to fix this but none have worked for me. Im thinking about returning this phone because its still under warranty but its rooted.

Works fine but i connect my phone to my comp for backing up files and flashing you know that kinda stuff. I wonder what could if caused it. I remember it started when I was using fb app and it suddenly just shut off and wouldnt come on. When I tried to charge it because it seem like it was dead it would keep vibrating over and over again just like boot looping. Even now if phone is off and I connect the charger it won't show the battery meter but automatically turn it self on. So I think I'll have to send it to att warranty.

USB debugging & download mode not working

I have an infuse on uclb3 and I decided to flash aokp. I downloaded the rooted heimdall package and my phone wont show up in download mode.
So I decided to root on PC but USB debugging wont show up at all. Any ideas?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
So you are in ulcb3 stock without root or cwm right?
You made sure your phone was entering download mode when trying to use heimdall?
Edit: in settings > applications> development there should be an option to toggle usb debugging on or off

I know both of those but the adb icon in the top doesn't show up and download mode doesn't show up in Odin or heimdall
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
Sorry I'm not quite understanding you :/
An adb icon where exactly?
For odin or heimdall to detect your phone you must first place it in download mode by:
-Remove battery and put it back.
-While holding vol up and down, connect your device to the Pc
If it still does not recognize your device then it could be the drivers

Okay, so you say you are trying to root your device.. using superoneclick?
You made sure you have usb debugging on? Does the program return any error?
Please I need you to be as detailed as possible to be able to tell what is happening and to be able to give you better assistance.
Edit: agreed, if it is on it should appear right next to the "usb connected" when your phone is connected to a Pc. You double checked it is switched On in settings?

I'm not using super one click just adb for temp root usb connected woeks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
May I ask why you want temp root instead of fully rooting it?
To obtain temp root through adb is a bit complicated and it requires using a series of commands to push our phones exploit and run it from within.
