[Q] need help with s on?

i rooted using bubba 's gui got root and s off. I need to take phone back too att.
i tried using ace kit and the s on tool neither will turn s on . when using s on tool everything seems to work find except the power cycle emmc line says failed to load module no such directory. any thoughts about whats going on?

Check out the ace kit forum. I think I read something about that in there. That or soak the phone in water till you can no longer turn it on lol.

Go into the bootloader and see if it still says s-off I had issues and thought it want working once then when I looked it said s-on
Sent through the power of Cthulhu!

What I did to turn the s-on back on was use bubbys one click to push the downgraded Rom to the phone again just like rooting but then run the s-on tool.

There ya go. A water-damaged phone is just as returnable as a non-water-damaged phone. Or not.
And I saw your lol next to it, but still, at least make it a workable alternative.

Thanks guys I appreciate it. I was going to return it to get an atrix, but I tried the the phone at the att store. I really didn't like it. I felt like I had to because the specs. But I'm more content with the inspire.

Good choice. Many people returned the atrix for the inspire.

I still can't get the -s on flag set on my Inspire 4g. I've tried it with the android terminal, adb shell, and bubby's S-ON tool. All of them appear to complete successfully, but I'm still seeing S-OFF in hboot.

I couldn't get anything to work either. I had to run bubbys one click to the point that it boots in the downgraded ROM. Once it booted into the downgraded ROM, I ran the s on tool. Worked perfectly once I did that.

Root Inspire Question

Is there any way to root the inspire with new stock 2.3.3 update without a computer? Like universal androot or z4root? I don't have access to a pc anytime soon.

If you are waiting for a solution which does not require the use of a computer, you will likely never see one. I would guess that even the "official" unlock coming from HTC will still be done via a computer.

Yep. That hack kit does have the files for a mac as well. I have a mac and a windows 7 computer, but I usually try to stick with Windows OS for this kind of stuff.

Any info on this ? did HTC announce some rooting patch coming up ?
I s-off and rooted my HTC Aria (2.2.2 hboot 1.02) using revolution (straight foward), but from what I read here so far doign the same on ym wife Inspire 4G would require a rom wipe out loosing all my data (still on 2.2.1 but hopeing to get GB soon when ATT pushes it as again installing of HTC site warn about erasing personal data), which I don't want to do... don't know how to back it all up before (only contacts are saved to Outlook on PC).

Jump onto #liberatedAria IRC channel tomorrow and I bet ATTN1 will let you test his new hack kit that won't mess up your data ("hack kit lite"). I've run it myself and it's pretty slick. I think it's only for linux at present.

I did but unfortunately the script left my wife's Inspire unsuable - wouldn't boot up even in recovery mode! that was an Inspire with 2.3.3 (OTA update from ATT from the stock 2.2.1) HBOOT 0.85.0024 S-ON, on win7.
First time I ran it, it partially worked and installed CW 4.0.x for recovery so I was able to do a full backup but no root and no S-OFF, but ran normally otherwise (with all info intact)... second time I ran it again (to get s-off), it failed after unloading a new radio and from there on would not boot/recovery at all - black screen after logo. I freaked out. Must have been a bad day for attn1 as he kicked me out of the chat room twice (loosing all usefull info in the chat above ) even when I first came in before I started.
Eventually I was able to restore it back to HTC official 2.3.3 RUU .exe using the fastboot mode, and restore most of my info back. I couldn't get 2.2.1 RUU to install (got from somewhere here) as I was trying to see if maybe the hack only worked with that previous rev.
Guess I'll be waiting for the official release and the bugs to be worked out for Windows...

So there is no way to do this on a PPC Mac? And why doesn't it work on a PPC Mac?

You need an upgrade in the pc area.
The old power macs are just too outdated. Writing software for an old closed system like yours would be pointless and a waste of time. Even though you run osx I'm pretty sure its a special flavor of osx, because they where using 64 bit IBM processors at the time.

[Q] unrevoked3

Simple question from a cautious rooting Virgin... Can I use unrevoked3 for the HTC Inspire 4G? You can choose between Desire and DesireHD. Will these work for the Inspre?

pretty much anything involving a script that doesnt require exe....is mac compatible

[Q] /Unlocking inspire for simplemobile (aka tmobile) with edge data?

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.

[Q] How To Root Htc Inspire 4G

Hey,
I have a question, I been searching this forum on how to root the htc inspire 4g, but here is my problem. I know I need the ace kit hack, and a ROM i chose to use the cm jellytime. But, when i popped in the phone switched it to debud mode USB, opened the cmd hack it said something about enter in a passkey, then read the effen manual. I did READ the effen manual. I downloaded the htc sync application, was that my htc inspire 4g drviers? Any help would be appreciate, thank you guys.

Are you asking where to get the pass key? Or the drivers? Either way, instructions are in the manual.

You read the manual but not for comprehension...all you are asking is in there. make sure that you understand what you are about to do before messing the phone.

I think the safest route is via aahk. It's tried and true. You will definitely take more risk with any other method and most just don't work and require more time in fixing it so you can then use aahk.

No. unrevoked does not support your device. Why try to mess the phone when you can simply do it using the right tool? Just because of a 2 pages manual? then you should stay stock or your next post will be..."...I messed my phone and I am stucked..."
