Ok so i cracked my HD2 screen last month.... .... anyway it was stock windows mobile and i hacked and slashed it myself to put android into nand. I'm quite familiar with how that works....
I bought a used inspire 4G off ebay and it already came loaded with cleardroid 1.3.1. It's my first android phone ever so i'm not really familiar with all the hacking and slashing stuff. I'm assuming a couple of things must have already been done to it since its running a custom rom but i'm not sure whats in it.
I looked at the Advanced Ace Hack Kit thread and it says not to run it if i have S-off or have a custom rom........ so... where do i stand, how do i check whats been done to it.
You have a custom recovery and are all set to install your own ROMs. If Clockworkmod is not installed download the app from Market. Flash the latest recovery and have fun installing ROMs. S-off is good to go. The old owner had to do it to install the ROM that is currently on it.
You're good, bro. Previous user made it easier on you. No need for Ace Hack Kit or anything. Go download ROM Manager and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. If you like ClearDroid, keep it. If not, go download "Absolution" or "CM7.1" for stock and put it on your SD card, go into Clockwork, select Install Zip from SDcard, find the .zip for Absolution or CM, let it do it's work, and ta-da, you've got AOSP Android.

There's also a stock, rooted gingerbread rom (here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192372) and if you're looking for a good sense rom that works well and isn't really modded, check out android revolution.

Before you do Any flashing, I would do yourself a favor and read read and search the forums for any helpful tips. Check out 4ext recovery themes by cwhitney24 over in the absolution thread way better than rom manger. Always make a backup and remember to wipe front to back. Wipe data cache and dalvic cache when switching roms
Thanks for the tips i went ahead and flashed mike1986. ROM....
I was accustomed to using Sense 3.5 on my HD2 but 3.0 isn't too far off and the ROM is great.
A couple of things I noticed:
in hardware it says bluetooth 3.0 but i know the phone doesn't have that, I'm assuming it hasn't actually been upgraded to 3.0.
I only have about 1GB of ROM space after flash, searched around and appears this is normal...couldn't really get a solid answer as to where the other 3GB vanished to.
Hopefully this time around the gorilla glass + otterbox will take a better beating than my poor HD2....

You only have 3gb of space on your phone really. Its due to how the phone is formatted. There are tons of threads about this. And sense Roma ate big so no surprise that it takes up so much space. Enjoy

Uhh.. seems like I'm having problems flashing a new radio.
I flashed mike's new Android Revolution HD 6.2.0 ROM just fine but he recommends 12.65.60.29_26.14.04.28_M radio.

Did you try to flash it in recovery?
You can't flash a radio from recovery.
I wish ROM cookers would stop with this "recommended radio" crap. The radio you have is fine (with the exception of 12.39.60.19 shipped on a few early Inspires--it had bad battery drain).

You should read the inspire radio thread pretty well before working with flashing radios.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106324
And I would highly suggest not trying to get radio s-off for flashing radios in recovery, and instead just use the PD98IMG.zip method in the bootloader.

I've found that you can flash some Desire HD ROMs to the inspire if you flash a compatible kernel over top of it.
I'm currently running Android Revolution HD on my Inspire (so far the only one I've tried, I haven't had any issues yet).
Here are the steps I used to do this:
- Copy ROM and Kernel to SDCard
- reboot into recovery
- Make a nandroid backup from Clockwork Recovery (I always make a backup just in case I need to go back)
- wipe data/cache in Clockwork
- flash ROM from Clockwork
- flash kernel from Clockwork
I used a Telus Desire HD kernel I found on the forums (same as Inspire) Sound and everything works.
I'll also attach the kernel I used for everyone to try it out.
Please report and other ROMs you have success or failure with so everyone can know what works.
EDIT: This isn't really needed anymore since the new source and kernels coming out support the Inspire. Just find a ROM that has the 1.72 kernel source and flash it, it should work as is.
I'm using Revolution HD that mike1986. posted in this this forum with no issues.
does CM7 work? I am scared to mess until I get an easy way to revert to stock like odin back to stock on the captivate. If someone knows an easy fail safe measure like the download mode on the captivate I would love to know then i will try anything!

Hi folks!
Very new noob here and very curious about what else I can do now that I've rooted my Inspire 4g. I used attn1 hack kit and it took me roughly 30 minutes to complete the root process.
So, first question is - I've noticed, and already read about it, that my wifi is no longer working and that I need to do something.....yes I'm a noob and I'm not sure what exactly I need to do to get my wifi feature working again.
Second - What else can I do now with a rooted phone other than the tethering/wifi hotspot features? Any cool apps? Any updated core (not sure of term) program that will replace the default image loaded with attn1 hack kit?
I'm honestly completely content with what attn1 hack kit did minus the wifi.
So basically looking to fix my wifi issue, i can connect to networks but can't use them, and also looking to tweak/speed up phone even more and load some cool apps.
I apologize for being a noob.
if you want, you can try the rom in my signature....
in all honesty, try every rom out there for your phone. see which one works for you
You have a lot you can do still, read around these forums, use the search, and read the stickies, they'll help you out a lot. The first thing I'd recommend looking into is flashing a new ROM (the "core program"), which should take care of your wifi problem.
Just remember, most questions you'll have have been answered at some point, always search a few different ways before posting multiple threads asking questions.
But good luck! Welcome to being rooted, once you learn what you can do you'll realize why everyone recommends it. As for root apps, ROM Manager is must have IMO, makes flashing a lot easier, Titanium Backup is good, Root Tools is pretty useful (although on some custom ROMs like CM7 there are easier ways to do most of the stuff it can do), and SetCPU if you want to overclock your CPU.
My favorite thing about being rooted, other than flashing roms, is setcpu. With a Rom that supports it, you can overclock and underclock. I underclock when the screen is off and it helps battery life immensely. Just be careful with overclocking. Some phones do better with it. I never overclock past 1.2 ghz.

Did you flash the stock ROM (w/ or w/o SL) from his thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I was previously running it and didn't have any issues with WiFi.
The very first thing you need to do is flash a rom. The hack kit leaves you with the downgraded rom, which is strictly for the exploit during the root process. It is not intended to be left on the phone. You can flash back to the latest stock rooted rom or find a custom modded rom to try out.

Honestly you have tons of options. I have had a rooted phone for a long time and just now joined the site. I have been reading all the posts for months now and have gotten pretty good at it all. You first need to flash a new rom and learn how to tweak the base roms. Then once you master that, you will start flashing new radios and RILs. Then you will learn to mix and match kernals and roms. Then you will start to overclock and undervolt your cpu for performance enhancements and battery saving. There is a ton to do but reading the post in the development section will get you where you need to be. It will take some time but you will learn it all. Rom Manager is probably the most needed app of them all to start with.
Thanks for the replies folks!

hi
just followed mike1986 guide to s-offing and installing new revolution rom. All went perfectly thanks. the instructions take several readings on the s-off installation guide link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098849
I am downloading all my apps again plus the ones that require root access.
my sensation now seems faster and smoother, i would recommend to all sensation users.
thanks again to mike1986.
it does ask to post experiences installing the rom but dosnt allow me to post on the developers forum as a 'noob'
i also installed revolution hd 3.6 on my sensation.
indeed all went well, the score in the quadrant benchmark is around 2600, it moves a lot smoother, everything seems to be a lot faster, except the internet. somehow the internet got slower, even though the settings are the same as before. plus the whole device gets a lot hotter than when i used the stock rom (how much hotter i can't say so far, but i'll get back on that)....anyway, i guess this is because of the 'overclocking'
and one more thing, taking screenshots doesn't work anymore.
all in all i still like this rom more than the stock one, but with the latest news, i hope there will soon be an OTA with 1.5ghz and also the extended HTC battery...
How were you guys able to get the radio loaded as he suggested? I followed the read me but it seems to leave some steps out unless I'm missing something. When I just flashed the ROM with the built in radio I had ran Quadrant and barely got over 1500 I believe. When I was stock I was getting around 1984. Right now I'm running the CoreDroid ROM and Quandrant score just registered 2253.
I really recommend you flash the recommended radio.
Download the radio file in the first post on Mikes thread, follow the instructions in the readme file contained in the RAR archive you download. Very simple to follow.
My Quadrant score just jumped from 1226 to 2638 by flashing the radio, I'm running ARHD 3.6.1 and absolutely LOVING it.
All credit to Mike for a fantastic ROM and Faux for an awesome Kernel.
Rom is fantastic indeed. i am just hoping he will port Sense 3.5 to Revolution soon.
There are alot of good new Widgets in it...

I tried following that read me but I'm still missing something as far as how I should be connected, i.e. phone to computer. Am I supposed to select charge only or mount as drive on phone when connected? Also this method is using a dos prompt for the commands and when phone is connected as mount the phone ususally shows up as "E" drive. So when I type those commands in the dos prompt won't I have to change the drive letter to reflect the "E" drive, i.e. my phone?
Also while my phone has S off it it doesn't have radio S off, how would I accomplish this? Sorry for all the questions but I would like to re-flash this ROM & the recommended radio as well to test it out.
Connect in HTC Sync mode, cancel HTC Sync on the pc when it opens. Make sure USB debugging mode is ticked in Settings - applications - development. Don't worry about changing drives, just extract the RAR file to a folder on your desktop, read the readme inside it and follow the simple instructions. It really is dead simple.

good luck dude - we're here for you!
screen shots does work on 3.5.x just search the post for the remedy you will see it has to do with changing a setting frome false to true and the 4.1 is the new 3.5 sense leak and is fast as hell. i am still on the stock radio as well as several other users and getting ncredible scores so radio change is not nesesary but may work better for u. i am on tmob us also check out the faux and bricked kernels much better battery life
Does somebody tried bricked Kernel v1.0 on Sensation with Android Revolution HD™ 3.6.1 XE Rom.
I totally agree, that Rom is Amazing. The phone is butter smooth and the battery, omg the battery life is crazy good! When my phone is in sleep mode it barely uses battery. I get through a day easily. Before being rooted I had to charge my phone by 3pm.

Yes, you can flash to any ROM you want if your phone is rooted, regardless of your wireless carrier. However, you should be aware that rooting your phone voids your warranty. Moving on...
I use LeeDroid's ROM, which is based on Sense. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181137. I use a Sensation kernel by Faux123 with it, and my phone really flies. If you wanna check out that kernel, when you check out that thread, just find a post by Faux123 and look in his signature under projects for the link to his Sensation kernel thread.
Yes, you can go back to the original ROM (or any other custom ROM for the Sensation), but you'll want to track down the stock Sense ROM from HTC (.zip file) first, to save yourself some headache later if you do decide you like stock better. I don't have a URL for the stock Sense ROM, but you should be able to track it down on here fairly easily.
You can flash the new ROM with clockwork mod by using ROM Manager, or without RM, you can boot your phone into recovery by doing a battery pull then holding the volume rocker *down* while simultaneously holding the power button.
Good luck! Let me know what you think of the ROM and/or kernel if you decide to give them a try.
Cheers,
Tom

You may find it helpful to play around with different roms and see which one you like best. There are several to choose from and they offer slightly different experiences.

I used link below. I also viewed some youtube videos its basically all the same for all htc sensation phones. Just follow them carefully and make sure you do it step by step. And before you install a new rom make sure you do a back up of your Bell one. Took me about 30min slowly but surely. Good luck, if I get a chance later on I'll post some links to the videos that helped me.

Hi everyone, this is my first post in the sensation forums. Here is my question. A friend of mine has the sensation in stock form and wants to me to install AOKP on it. I've been reading up on how to get s-off and installing cwr. Now I have a vibrant and if on a stock or froyo rom installing a cm7 rom is recommended prior to installing any ics rom to get partitions and such correctly. Is there a rom that needs to be flashed before I can flash his sensation with the aokp rom or is it safe to flash straight from stock rom. Thanks in advanced.
Sent from tapatalk V2 B6 from ics powered vibrant
The process goes basically like this:
A) Unlock the bootloader by means of Revolutionary.io
B) Root the Stock Rom
C) Flash 4EXT recovery from the APK downloaded at 4ext.net
D) Download the 3.32 unlocked firmware from the dev thread.
E) Put firmware PG58IMG file on root of SD card and hit up the bootloader, apply firmware.
F) Remove firmware file from SD card so you can get to 4EXT recovery from the bootloader.
G) Put rom on SD card, reboot into recovery, flash rom.
Only one problem is that AOKP isn't really supported, or 100% ready to roll on this device. Virtuous Inquisition or ARHD + Shnizlon's AOSP mod is a much more stable, feature-packed approach.
Thanks sshede, that's a pretty good tut you wrote for me there. And I'll definitely search and look into the roms you recommend. And also time for me to start downloading all those files and the drivers for his phone. I probably won't mod his phone till this weekend so it will give me more time to do my reading up. Thanks once again.

Lol wut. Aokp is faster, more stable and smoother than VI. I have been using it for like 1 month without a single reboot. Only few bugs (480p camcorder) that don't affect the experience at all. Give it a try, you will think CM is a joke after using AOKP's ROM Control (which is a compilation of a LOT of tweaks/mods/etc).

Lol wut. Aokp is faster, more stable and smoother than VI. I have been using it for like 1 month without a single reboot. Only few bugs (480p camcorder) that don't affect the experience at all. Give it a try, you will think CM is a joke after using AOKP's ROM Control (which is a compilation of a LOT of tweaks/mods/etc).

Totally subjective. Some people prefer 480p because it doesn't use nearly as much space. Bluetooth isn't 100% functioning either. It may not bother you, but some people need them. And I've tried my fair share of both Sense and AOSP-based roms, nothing is more stable than Sense-based roms right now. All the drivers are straight from HTC, nothing's been patched together.

Yes. The main problem I had with VI was the random black screen of death. Had to pull battery away every couple days as the phone wouldn't turn back on. That's why I don't like that ROM.
And, well, its personal preferences
