I checked the forums and it seems some people pissed the the guy off and he closed the thread as of 11/16/11. But I don't see any links to the actual kit. Everything I read has been out dated and points back to that thread that has been closed. Can someone please direct me to it?
Also, this phone is already on Gingerbread. So can someone tell me the best tool to use to root if the phone is already on Gingerbread? Will the ACE Hack Kit work on a Gingerbread device? I also found Visionary at Modaco but it's only for Froyo.
Huh, interesting. I didn't realize the Hack Kit was removed. Looks like it was just taken down yesterday. That's a shame. That was really the best tool to use. I haven't seen any other tool for months. And I believe there are some changes in the Inspires manufactured in the past couple of months so the older methods may not work. I could be wrong about that though. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if another dev pick up the torch and releases a new tool.

No. Since yours was a froyo version the old hboot won't cause issues. Even though you upgraded. It's something about the hardware in the new ones that is incompatible with the original hboot.

From what I've seen/read - it should work with new ones too, however the issue that comes up is with that hboot installed it will take 15-20 minutes to boot, and vibrate for like a full minute while booting, leading a lot of users to think they're hosed. From what I've read, patience is the key to using that method (full downgrade vs partial downgrade) with newer shipped devices. I can't speak from experience though

Is that 15-20 minutes to boot every time you restart the phone? Or just during the rooting process?

It only has to use that hboot to utilize the exploit to get s-off. A new hboot is flashed after s-off is gained - I believe.

just wondering if i do this will i lose clockwork recovery.
Yes you will lose Clockwork recovery. You will have to use unrevoked again if you want it back.
I'm all for the latest and greatest, but idk about this one. Most likely we're just gonna get stuck with a bloated froyo build with all the restrictions of at&t. I say, if you want to stay Stock, go with this ROM, otherwise i think CM's 6.0.2.1 is gonna be the better bet if you want more freedom.
I wouldn't mind giving it a shot if i didn't need to reload clockwork afterwards.
Did anybody already tried this update in their unlocked Aria?
Could this update revert the SIM unlock capabilities ?

I went ahead and installed the update and there really isn't much to it except that under Settings there is now an AT&T software update option just before the About phone.
I was able to re-root using Unrevoked 3.0 with no problem.
Just for grins I extracted the ROM.zip file from the RUU and the images in the ZIP file were dated 6/11/2010, so it took AT&T 3 months to review and release this update! So depending on when HTC actually builds Froyo 2.2 for the Aria it could take AT&T about 3 months before we see it...

Also, this is the first time I have seen an actual RUU for 3.29. All other threads that reference the RUUs only have the 3.26 RUUs.

Sorry for a silly question but do you just Flash this to lose your Root and go back to stock?
I think you still need to S-On if you really want to go all the way back, but this removed root for me.

Ha ha. No worries, everyone is excited about this. Just trying to keep people from getting confused!
What we know:
1) Originally, on March 18, they had a "dirty" perm-root method that required loading an old version of the software. This gave root, but no S-OFF and no way to load a custom recovery. There are instructions posted for this method.
2) Late last night, they managed to find a "new" root method and gives S-OFF and allows loading a custom recovery. This news is posted in the link in the OP of this thread. At this time, they have not yet posted the method for doing this. I expect we'll see it later today when they wake up. LOL
So patience guys and gals, we'll have FULL root, S-OFF, and custom recovery of our TBs very soon!

Anything that is faster than the ****ing root time on the Incredible is fine by me. That was a painful thing to wait for.
I have been following the developement on the andirc channel. these guys are amazing! As long as HTC's software policies remain what they are today, I will no longer be purchasing moto phones. I had to suffer through the DX's bootloader fiasco after coming from the OG D1. DX devs made it bearable, but custom kernals...no. Thanks for all the work jcase and company!
I'm a relative newb as far as hacking and even I got root + S-OFF + unlocked eMMC + Clockwork, etc working as per the rooting instructions updated today on AndroidPolice. It has been done and these guys and gals are that much more amazing for it.
The only question is: how the hell do you select an option in Clockwork recovery? On my Droid I could use the camera button, but here the Power, Home, and Menu button all just hide the menu. Vol keys only scroll. /confused
I haven't actually rooted mine yet as I'm a wuss and waiting for a one-click, but I read tonight that Kousch (sp?) already made an updated CWM to fix that issue on the TB. Maybe try updating via ROM Manager?

I'm right there with you, I rooted my D1 back before any of the oneclick solutions existed using the Motorola flashing software. I extremely tempted to try installing abd on my Linux machine and give it a shot but I'm a little scared too having never used adb before. And it seems that there's still. A few bugs to work out so I will let them get those straight. I'm hoping too one click root by Tuesday and ROM by months end. Hopefully on CM7.x
Also hi everyone! Been lurking here since I picked up the thunderbolt Thursday morning. Can't wait to crack this thing open. SenseUI is driving me nuts.
Rooted and removed bloat from my TB! I love it!
Hello Board Members. I just signed up today as I picked up my TB yesterday. I'm a former iPhone user (since 2009) and then went to Verizon for a Droid X. This new phone came out, so we dropped the X and went for the TB. Just my short intro to the Android world.
Anywho, for those that rooted the TB, was it a painless process? And the instructions posted on the AndroidPolice post (saw it in Google), do I run all of this from the TB or on the computer?
I've been poking around the gfree and wpthis source and have gotten a gfree matched to the current Inspire kernel/radio combination. It runs fine, finds it's address offsets, etc. but I'm still a little afraid to try it with any options that actually write anything.
I'm not too familiar with ARM opcodes so I'm not exactly sure what gfree is changing. It appears to force a branch to do the opposite to prevent a kernel "bug()" call which would lockup the device, but I'm not sure what part of the kernel memory is being modified.
It does appear that it is unlocking the eMMC which at the least could be a route to a S-ON root method (like with the Aria) if used to flash a custom recovery.
Is there any actual documentation on what gfree is doing or does anyone who has poked around the code have any comments?
This should be in other forum. Thread moved.

It's not often you find yourself questioning why a thread is in the *general* section.
Seriously, your target audience resides in the dev section, where you had originally posted it, and this should be moved back.
I think I will have to agree on this one. Though I would probably send a pm to attn1 since he was working on it for the inspire.
After spending way too much time in the IRC chat with attn1 et al, we've come to the conclusion that HTC has gimped this in the OTA update. They've silently closed the eMMC write protect hole that is used in the downgrade ROM with gfree and would have worked with the stock ROM before the OTA update, but we'll have to work a new angle in the OTA updated Inspires.

I will if I start a new thread. So far, this looks like a dead end as far as Inspires runing the OTA update (which should be most stock Inspires by now).
what if the process started with using the pd98img to ruu back to the previous version 1.80, instead of downgrading the rom and radio to the desire ones.

Attn1 and I talked about that and decided that if you've gotta downgrade anyway, what's the difference, but when I get a chance, I'll try it with that setup just to see. At the least, with that downgrade, you'd still have a fully functional Inspire once rooted.

that's what I was thinking, that was the bad part about downgrading, if I hadn't flashed a rom and some one called I was sol. It might prevent some of the "I have no sound after rooting" threads.
yes i am aware the thread was moved in general, i was being sarcastic as in why is it in general.
Arg....seems like the devs have moved on to getting s-off and coming out with new roms and have given up on finding exploits to root 1.85. The threads for root have been empty for a while now...wondering if its time to exchange the phone or return it and want for the sg3?
I know i'm not the only person frustrated for upgrading to 1.85....

You can. That is what I did. It's pretty simple.
Revert to 1.82, root,
one click superCID
relock in fast boot
ruu 1.85
flash the unlock token from fastboot, it took me a few tries before it took
flash a recovery (twrp is working well for us right now)
and then use the recovery to flash the SU zip file. Then you're all set
Well this is how it works.
Once you update your RUU to 1.85 then install CWM (flashing utility in recovery) You will just flash the Rom you wish this will give you root.
Hope this clears things up?
I'm unclear on the rooted 1.85 but from what I gather you have to have done superCID hack before upgrading to be able to gain root. I believe you have to also have superCID to do ruu to a previous firmware. I may be wrong but if your on 1.85 without superCID I think your SOL for now atleast.

Look, we've all been there. We all had to learn from the beginning at some point.
I'm also sick of people lobbing ignorant comments my way when it comes to some of the things I do for others, especially here on xda. Case in point ...

Why? Because it's the right thing to do. As I said above, we've all been there, and I'm quite sick and tired of so many others (THEY shall remain nameless), who can't spend a few extra seconds of their precious time to provide a better explanation than the simple "just do it in fastboot," or "use adb," etc.
Yes, I've now learned exactly what these two simple statements mean, but it really would have been nice, and far, far, far easier not just for me, but everyone if, instead of saying the following ...
flash it in fastboot
...they instead said something like ...
open a command prompt, navigate to your adb folder, and flash in fastboot using the following line:
fastboot flash recovery xxxxxxx.img
Wow, it took me an extra 10 seconds. Oh, my goodness, my fingers are now so sore. I think I'll head to the hospital. Be back later.

P.S. And don't anyone dare tell me, like someone did yesterday, that I should basically shut up and stop "sassing" (their word) the developers because they work so hard at what they do. You know, I probably work as hard if not MUCH harder than most of them, yet I will always try my very best to give some of my time to others. Again, as I said above, it's the right thing to do. You know, maybe if more people did just that, the world wouldn't be so full of self-centred, egotistical ingrates.

Ah your correct there was another thread on how to get root through AT&T ready to go app but they blocked that now so looks like the OP waited to long.

Or didn't wait enough. Don't update official firmware without knowing if existing root methods will still work, unless you are willing to live with the consequences.

You can. That is what I did. It's pretty simple.
Revert to 1.82, root,
one click superCID
relock in fast boot
ruu 1.85
flash the unlock token from fastboot, it took me a few tries before it took
flash a recovery (twrp is working well for us right now)
and then use the recovery to flash the SU zip file. Then you're all set

Wow. All that and I'm not sure it will even work. Makes me realize how nice it is to have devices like the Nexus that are not locked down as much as HTCs latest on AT&T.
It also seems like Samsung devices are not as difficult to deal with than HTC and the locked bootloader and S-On.

You mean the one linked in the post I just quoted? Like I said, that one says it requires root.
Lots of people are saying "just downgrade" on this thread. But I don't think its possible.

So only option is to get a new OneX and hope it has 1.82 or below? I'm not even sure root and ROMs are that critical to me but just curious

You have installed something to make it slow. Since every One X I seen and used did not lag on opening the app drawer. Not seeing lag.

I've seen where some people say that it lags a little when they open it for the first time after a reboot or it sitting idle a while. It's happened to me a few times also.
