[Q] SuperOneClick for the Htc Inspire 4G

I am new to this website, I wish to root my Htc Inspire 4g. I've heard of using SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip... would that work when My Android is running Froyo?

nope, use the guide that is stickied at the top of general as your reference.

But, it's very hard to understand that guide... (once again sorry for my noobish comments) Please explain it to me?

Both rooting methods are extremely watered down have you tried downloading either of them?
I am not trying to be rude, but if it is hard to understand, then I would recommend reading more before you root.

If you're unwilling to read, learn, read some more, research, read even more and try, then don't do it.

Not trying to pile on, but... Seriously?
There's nothing difficult about the guide. The rooting techniques have been simplified as much as possible, for this phone.
Customizing this phone is going to require a little bit of effort on your part, it's not going to root itself.

So I just select one guide from the rooting thread from mudknof*
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

yeah I know how you feel about rooting O/P but I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 also androidcentral.com is another good site too if you have not been their already.
Also I would look into how to un-root the htc inspire just in case if you want to go back.
I had to watch the video a couple of times but it was not to bad but I do recommend this make sure your updated I know I had to do a wifi update then your good.
But if you have your phone all set up root will rest your phone all over again contacts will be their just if you added or did anything to it. It sucks it took me like 30 mins to set everything back up lol

Ok, I understand rooting gives you access and you have to downgrade your phone for rooting and then get a custom rom to pyt to a rooted current or future version. Am I right?

Well from what I read on roms, roms will give you customs look and some better features I have not added and Roms yet really just wanted to remove bloatware Im still reading about Roms and how to install them...Also I was just reading through the steps about rooting I think by far bubbys root is the easiest way to root.
lol I ask a lot of ?s ha http://forum.androidcentral.com/inspire-rooting-roms-hacks/88094-rom-t-stock-rom-sense-unroot.html
just in case you need it.. Cause I did root back to stock..which now Im thinking about rooting today.. Just cause I dont like the bloatware but which is nice about root it gives unknown sources thats if you DL and app rather then the market place right now I use Side Load Wonder Machine its a pain to go through the pc but unknown allows you to DL 3rd party off a site. but other then having bloatware removed and having unknown sources thats all I did for rooting. Helpful hint is also looking into how to make a back up of your phone just in case something messes up.

Thank you so much for your support everyone... so one final question... what is bloatware?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

bloatware is all the pre install apps and like the blockbuster ATT nav, yelp etc. even though this is for droidX it works the same just copy and past this -----> Droid X Bloatware Removal How To Android 2.2 FroYo <-------- in youtube and its the 1st, or you can use titanium backup Pro to freeze the bloatware which makes the OS of the phone think its not their anymore and you can unfreeze it later if you need it.. over all its to save some memory on the phone..

So how do i save all memory to my sd card before rooting?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

what do you mean memory? like in apps,pics? their is an app called app2Sd in the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
that may help also heads up if you root you can do a back up with titanium back up and it restore your apps on that half Im not a 100% sure just google it one of the things I miss from my iphone is the itunes for backing up my apps.Still have not found a program thats like itunes for backing up apps fully and add them back if needed.
to bad you can just drag your apps to your Pc and save.. =(

But what will move my pictures and music to the sd card?

They should already be there. The phone stores that kind of stuff on the SD card, because internal storage is limited.

Ok, and one more question... Where do I find the rooting program for the htc inspire? Can someone please post a link?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

for moving the pic and music I would just move it to your PC and when your doing rooting just transfer them back.
Im about to root my phone again in like 15mins Im using this again

[Q] Can I root my phone, and still use the stock rom?

Hello,
I wanted to know if I can root my phone with "Revolutionary" and still use the stock rom or do you need to install a custom rom. I had the HD2 on T-mobile for the last year and have installed several nand roms. This is my first real Android phone. I really like the stock rom and I just want to be able to use Setcpu, Spare parts Pro, Blade Buddy Pro, etc. basically having access to OC and other things. I read how to S-off the phone from the link below. can I stop after step #3?
Thank you for any input.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

Yes......most people just want root for the apps. U can still use stock. Custom roms are strictly by choice

Run revolutionary, get soff, flash recovery, flash perma root zip.
Continue using stock rom, but feel free to freeze or delete the bloat

Thank you. I thought I only needed to go to step three. Sorry for the newb question but what do you mean " feel free to freeze or delete the bloat" are you referring to the bootloader?

Using titanium backup or bloat freezer, u can freeze an app instead of deleting.

[Q] Something isn't functioning properly

So I had to reboot my phone due to weird bugs and glitches. But now, everytime I factory reset it, it still has Enzola's unknown sources feature, yet lacking the button of htc updating. Can someone please help me? It runs Android 2.33 and Htc Sense 2.1

please, anyone? I don't even have the fast boot option.

The unknown sources option was initially removed by AT&T. It belongs there now. The HTC Update feature is removed in Gingerbread. Fastboot has been moved in the settings menu. It is now in the Power subsection.

Open the market and go into the help section. Under troubleshooting, it tells you how to update there. If that doesn't work, I will post the apk file for you, so you can manually update. Just let me know if you get it to update or not.

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.

You can just download the stock rooted version. Is way easier and you won't have problems.

I've tried myself and I ended up saying that I have something modded or something from the ota download. I finish downloading the ota for sense 5.5 and I've tried to lock the hboot and unlocked. Same results no matter what. I think it's the missing apps. The calculator and some others. Just download the stock rooted. You'll end up rooting the phone anyways. What is the point of that?
