Will this be messing with my root? Is it safe to apply? I have S-off, and root. No custom rom just rooted and freeze some apps.
Thanks
Don't touch system updates If your rooted.

Undead already has a patch for this. You can use his I don't think it messes with root as I have his rom. And freeze the updater using titanium backup.
That's what I did.

...and there is the primary reason to root your phone above all else.
How long has the patch been out that undeadk9 whipped up when the vulnerability was exposed?
How long did it take for HTC to figure out a way of patching it, run it through their departments and test it out...
Undeadk9 found out about the problem when someone else posted it here. The very next thing he did was sit down and hammer out the fix into a flashable zip for the rest of us. (Thanks again for caring, btw!)
Nevermind the fact that you should be able to do whatever you can make your device (yea, the one you paid for) do, but being at the mercy of some titan company to grind an update through all it's gears... no thanks.

EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.
I think you mean 3rd party apps is enabled? Not slideload.
Great job with the guide.

It may not have rolled out for everyone yet. You can try placing the update file, not renamed, in /sdcard/download then run the update.

so lemme get this straight, AT&T finally enabled the ability to install apps that are not from the market?
Or am I just seeing things and mis understanding.

As I said that method is untested, try the check for updates step and see if it thinks it is a previously downloaded update that wasn't installed.

You can always set your date a day ahead when you go to check again. At least we know that doesn't work.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.
i have the update, where do you go to let it install non market apps? i tried downloading the amazon app store thingy but it still says install blocked.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

Has anyone tried to install the updated rom on a stock rooted rom like this one:

Any luck?
I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.

I think that is the difference maker. Hence why s-off is listed as a prerequisite.

Here's an article with more info: http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/10/how-to-easily-protect-your-htc-evo-by-removing-htcloggers.html
Enjoy
Great work swagstr, thanks. I removed the logger stuff by TIbackup, but I'm not sure I got everything. This should solve that for me.
Thanks man, I was wondering exactly what files had to be removed lol
thanks for this!
Is loggers the only one dangerous? I know the how to I used had me delete like a dozen files and then the boot.Img mod which you helped me with. Your script only takes care of the logger stuff.
Can it be done via root explorer
my blazed up 4g
Yeah theres a lot more then just that. Treve has a nice article to read in the 3D section, it goes real deep into the jar files and everything
ok, so i didn't use this method but i did remove the loggers (via root explorer). now my phone constantly asks me to choose between the sense launcher & go launcher ex? i check to make go launcher my default & it still does it. anybody else? advice?
thanks.
p.s. i also get the htc.loggers force close pop-up occasionally...that's normal, right?
thanks for this!
If we're running an AOSP ROM like CM7, aren't the offending files already removed?

Exactly why I haven't touched this thread in awhile. TrevE is the man when it comes to this stuff. Plus, the latest OTAs for OG EVO and EVO 3D removed HTC Loggers.
Was loggers the hotspot snitch?

Got a message today saying an update is available:
"TEST ONLY -- System update available 1.28.531.9 (10.35 MB) Thank you for purchasing the MyTouch 4g slide. (Internal FOTA evaluation)"
Any idea what is in the update, or what an internal FOTA evaluation is? or if this will screw up my having removed bloat and added google video chat? Anyway, here I go installing it.
I am pretty sure Its just a fix for the vital security hole caused by the sense skin 3.0. I could be wrong.

It failed becuz you are rooted and no stock recovery. The cwm recovery blocks official updates for good reason. If your rooted then Who cares.

I just received the security update OTA today. No other changes, as far as I can tell.
Hello All,
I'm actually still quite new to this phone (just got it two days ago), so whatever I may have to contribute is probably not as significant as the rest of the dev's.
I realized we don't have a stock-rooted rom, so here it is:
The DS_Mod is based on the TMo's 1.28.531.9 zip, and everything has basically kept untouched except for the few following:
1. Rooted (Added su and such)
2. Added Rom Manager and Terminal Emulator
3. Removed security threat stemming from the xxxLogger.apk's
4. Added init.d and data/app support for anyone else who wants to add something else to it
This rom is designed for the people who wanted the stock experience and still have root, so here it is: Download link
Report back if there's any bugs/issues!
saving this spot for any later uses

Yeeahh, that's the kind of response we need. All this immature oneupmanship just makes the boards weak. I'm loving having another dev for this phone even though the ones we already have are great!
Good to see someone else throwing their hat into the ring. I'll download and play with this sometime over the weekend.
Thanks for taking the time to put something together, look forward to seeing more of your works.
Going to add to the sticky later and some edits as well.

*This mod requires root and Titanium Backup*
I wanted to post this little trick I have been using for sometime on all my phones. To avoid the harrassing popups of ota updates aka system updates.
Step One: Go to backup and restore (middle icon).
Step Two: Click on edit filters and type update.
Step Three: click on update 3.0.2115xxxx and freeze it.
Also note, that the other updater is your market updater. I would not freeze that one unless you do not care about your apps being updated.
All done. This also works on other phones, the updater will have a different numberset but, it will always say Updater xxxxx.

Im not sure if it will prevent ota updates. I know however this method will block anything from getting threw and is useable on most phones. Ive tested it on most of the motorola droid phones as well as mine.
