Figured I don't know any other way to ask, but is there any possibility of a one-click root application for the HTC Inspire 4G? Being a Samsung Captivate user, I pretty much just used Odin OneClick for my phone and rooted it with ease, then put Miui 1.11.11 on my phone a little while after, and have been absolutely amazed by what my phone was capable of. Now a friend of mine wanted to root his phone and see if we could do the same, and I found that Miui is available for the HTC Inspire, but I don't really see much organization to the forums and haven't figured out how to flash it, or even root it for that matter.
Any suggestions?
P.S., his phone is currently on stock 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1, if that makes any difference.
AAHK is the only rooting game in town unless you want to do it all manually. It's as close to one-click as you're going to get for your stock 2.3.3.

Really no organization? The hack kit and stickies in each forum helps you easily navigate where you want to be. I hear searching is a great way to start . As Gene said, the hack kit is the only game in town. Seeing how you're no stranger to the root business, I still recommend (since I can't demand you to haha) to read the entire OP, the effen manual that is included and do some more searching before you attempt this. While Attn1 has done great work to make this pretty easy, it's far from a real one click like you're use to on the Cappy and should be taken a little more seriously. A lot of the issues people have when rooting the inspire stem from not reading for comprehension. If you do read for comprehension, you'll have no problem man! good luck!!
The cleanest way to root is with Ubuntu, like this:

how is that the cleanest? he would have to download the livecd, boot to it, and figure out basic navigation.
windows pc works just as well....

Agreed. Unless you are familiar with getting ubuntu set up and working then just using aahk on windows would be the easiest option.

O I so agree with you and PG!
The Hack Kit is so easy to use as long as you read. We already see so many threads open up with people complaining because they are stuck. They blame the Hack Kit but in reality it is their laziness. Imagine if everyone of those people had to use Ubuntu or the Ubuntu live cd? Yeah we would see so many more useless threads open up with people trying to root the phone when they can barely turn on the computer.
I got your 10 char right here
And after you read the effen manual, do yourself a favor and read it again.
Holy giant wall of quote replies, Batman!

Yeah, I checked up on that, but I'm a little skeptical for only one reason. It seems like it's something I could probably figure out for him, but just to make sure, there's no "must" to having the ADB SDK or whatever installed, right? Because there've been a few mods or tweaks to the Captivate that required ADB to work, and my phone never showed up when using "adb devices" no matter what. I had no issues doing any other mods on my phone (and am currently using Miui 1.11.11 for it, although I probably should flash to one of the newer fixes), but ADB simply refuses to ever detect my phone.

Yeah. I read up on a lot of the posts, but it does feel significantly unorganized in comparison to the Captivate boards. I'unno, it may be because the Captivate is part of the Galaxy S series, which makes it a very popular phone for mods/tweaks, but I was able to find numerous ROMs for it and how to tweak everything, even skins on Swype, all within seconds. Here, I was like "...er, where's the thread explaining how to root your phone?" until I realized the only way to root it involves actually flashing a ROM in the first place, which I found a little awkward. But I guess HTC has it's limitations.

I actually have a physical copy of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu CD's, but I personally don't find that worth the hassle. I rarely restart my computer because I leave a lot of my IM clients, Steam, uTorrent, and other sorts of programs running in the background overnight, and there's no logic for me personally using an operating system I seldom use just for rooting process. It'd be frustrating for me. I know enough about Ubuntu to navigate, but I never understood the terminal, so I gave up on the OS.

Haha, yeah. That's where you don't have to worry. Unlike a lot of stubborn kiddies who think they know what they're doing before they even read the manual, then come here to complain, I'm the type to thoroughly read over instructions time and time again just to make sure I have it all figured out before I ever do anything. That way I know I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do, how I'm supposed to do it.
In the long run, there's a good chance I may not do it at all. While he does want his phone to run better, I don't feel comfortable potentially jeopardizing his phone's ability to even be used in case I do manage to do something wrong. Not to mention that Titanium Backup requires root to even work, and rooting the phone apparently involves flashing a ROM which would wipe out all the apps, so he'd have to reinstall every single app. It's just a little more of a hassle than I personally feel comfortable with, since it's not my device. But I definitely appreciate all the responses, and I'll definitely look over all the details and let him know what he'd need to do if he wants to work it over himself.
Once again, thanks for all the replies. I'm glad to see XDA is a mature, respectable community. Definitely brings a smile to my face to see a forum where I can actually get straight answers to a simple question.
On a captivate, windows won't see your phone in adb, unless you have the nexus s drivers installed. My windows computer wouldn't see My captivate on MIUI, but my Linux partition would.
Use the Ubuntu method.it's a lot easier than everything you have to do in windows. And drivers aren't a problem.

Not gonna quote it all, but the new hack kit doesn't require you to flash a rom anymore. It leaves your phone in the state it was before you ran it, only rooted and s-off.

So, sprint just released an OTA update to 2.3.6 for the Samsung Replenish (SPH-M580). Thing is, for me (and others, I'm sure) the update somehow both automatically applied an obnoxious Sprint ID skin as well as crippled the Sprint ID service. This leaves users with an ungodly 2.2/2.3 hybrid which manages to look even worse than Froyo, and no Sprint-sanctioned method of fixing it.
So, rather than sit idly by and wait for Sprint to slowly/never patch this (neither Sprint nor Samsung had anyone who could help me), I've decided to root the device.
A few questions:
1. Here, someone achieved root back in mid-2011. Would that method be viable after the update to 2.3?
2. Would other exploits (i.e. gingerbreak via SuperOneClick) be viable with 2.3.6?
3. Is CWM or Cyanogen compatible with this handset? The whole reason I was looking forward to the update was certain UI features that I noticed on newer gingerbread devices like the SGS2 (power options on notification screen, paged applications drawer, zoom-out on home screen), and none of those are available thanks to Sprint.
Hopefully this gets more than 2 replies; sometimes it seems like nobody owns this phone on here.

Wow, just found another UI goof - in some apps (XDA included) the loading icon is a rotating circle, but it's in a non-square space, so it ends up looking like a goofy wobbling ellipse. Urgh.

Has anyone figured this out yet? Is there a comparable root for another Samsung device that would work with the replenish? Seems like someone should have figured it out by now...
I have a rooted Replenish on 2.3
I have a rooted replenish on Phoenix 0.2 the Download and instructions are on android central just search replenish
forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-replenish/148702-acs-rom-phoenix-rom-0-2-a.html
It wont let me post the link because im new here
Odin may be only option right now
I have a coworker with a Replenish. Rooted it with KMS originally (was a PITA, but if you timed it right, it worked), since he updated it to gingerbread I have not found a working solution.
I downloaded the Phoenix 0.2 rom from above and will test it out when I see the phone again. I'm guessing from what I read in the comments relating to that ROM that it will work fine.
Note about flashing using ODIN: From what I know, ODIN is the tool samsung uses to push firmware to their phones. This will overwrite the boot loader and if something goes wrong during flashing you can brick your phone. Make sure you are using a good powered USB port on your computer with a good working USB cable for the phone (preferably the one that came with it that has the samsung sticker on it). I've bricked a phone before using a crappy USB port on my computer, so be careful :-/
your savior!!!!!!!!! lol XD

I'm not new to android whatsoever.. I've just returned from an Iphone 4s cause i was missing the openess of android. Now.. i've pulled out my old Nexus S 4g, Updated it to 4.0.4 and i cant get it to connect to my computer for the life of me! tried 4 different cables, 5 different computers, every driver i could find and nothing. I've come to believe this is a software failure... All i need is root and i will be able to sleep at night. Could someone package up .zip to give root and twrp recovery that i could flash through stock recovery? I dont know else i could do to get root... but this problem is becoming quite annoying.
1. There is no way to package a zip to flash through stock recovery since it would have to be signed.
2.For someone who is "not new to android whatsoever" making 2 threads about the same topic 2 minutes apart isn't exactly acting the part.
Try this guide.
Actually you're wrong, On the Epic 4G someone did in fact manage to do so. And yeah since i'm not new to these forums i understand that stuff like this gets overlooked so i made two posts. Cry me a river.
BTW Thanks harb... but that would involve being able to connect to my PC. Which just is not possible right now.
Thats the Android Karma... it happens but a little advice.
If you can't connect to the computer then it might a hardware issue not software.
If getting root was that easy that you just had to flash a zip on stock then everyone would be doing it. And good luck getting root without unlocking your bootloader first. Not to be rude but the problem could possibly be between the computer and the chair.

It's ok, not rude. I understand what you are saying... but did you not read what i just said? somebody had accomplished this on the Epic 4G and i'm just trying to find someone who has done it with the NS4G.. I've had 4 Android devices, rooted them all and been here since the beginning. It's not a hardware problem, it connected fine before when it was on gingerbread... i downloaded the OTA ICS then flashed through stock recovery.. but if you read what i said in the first post this problem only occured AFTER updating. This is why i quit using XDA a long time ago, because people just post a bunch of useless information instead of trying to help... The problem is not me my friend, its the damned ICS update, i've read multiple posts all over the interweb w/ people who have had the same problem, yet no resolutions other than bending up the micro usb male piece on my phone which is not the problem as i said it was working fine before i updated. Have tried multiple samsung drivers, pda net, and Android SDK Drivers, multiple Cords from samsung, to htc, to blackberry and palm pre and even a nokia one now. and 5 different computers... so tell me smart guy, what would you do?

Bro... Chill... They're just trying to help you out. There is NO way to to root your NS without a computer (currently. We are not Epic 4G owners here). You said you didn't use your NS since GB, SO during the time in between something could have happened to the hardware. Don't rule that out just yet. Your drivers might also be bad. Is this what migrating to iOS does to people? Makes them snobby and demand fixes to problems they can't figure out on their own? Don't hate on the XDA forums. If we're not helping you "hit the thanks button anyways, you ungrateful bastard" (XDA into video ). Anywho. Chill. Keep trying.

I am chill, i am just trying to describe what I've already done so maybe someone could suggest something else. And no what i meant is i downloaded the OTA on my computer than transferred it onto my Nexus through USB mount a couple of days ago so i know its not a hardware issue. Im not demanding fixes, just trying to see if anyone has done been able to figure this out yet as i know im not the only one with this issue. And there is a big problem w/ people on the XDA forums as a whole.. i am a little frustrated and just dont like when someone is telling me is a User issue when i have tried everything conceivable and know what i am doing.. Sorry if this offended you. and IOS is a good device.. its just like.. NWO they want to control everything haha. I'd rather be part of the rebel faction. even though i love my ipad XD
There is currently no way to root 4.0.4 without an unlocked bootloader (and no custom recovery), and the only way to get an unlocked bootloader is to either have root or plug it into the PC and unlock via fastboot. As such, you are stuck with sorting out drivers - despite how annoying they are.
The video i linked to above describes in detail (and through video) exactly how to sort out NS drivers on Windows machines as well as the required fastboot commands to get a custom recovery.

Yes that is a good video, and does a job well done in describing on how to install drivers. My main issue is that my Computer(s) are'nt recognized my device at all... It doesn't show up as android device, or nexus s... but Unknown device. If i could figure this out i believe i could handle the rest.

Pretty sure that video describes that. You need to open up device manager, double click unknown device (while device is in fastboot), hit update driver and navigate to the provided drivers on the site. Watch it a few times, you'll figure it out.
Have you tried to install PDANet? I've read numerous times about it working wonders for users who have trouble with drivers. It has all of the necessary drivers built in.

yes i second that,PDANet Drivers usually work across all devices you should try them.
Like ppl said before, try PdaNet drivers it might help.
thanks everyone, , but like i said i tried pretty much every driver you can find online. they will not install as my device comes up as "Unknown", i've literally tried every piece of literature on the web relating to this issue... at this point i'm just going to wait for the JB update and see what happens.

So the ICS update makes you unable to boot to fastboot and makes your device unable to be recognized by your computer from there?
That's a new one. As far as I know, "Unknown device" is actually your device being recognized, just the driver doesn't get installed correctly.
Have you tried manually specifying which driver to install and selecting the PDA Net driver? Look at Harbb's last post.
Have you went as far as editing the drivers inf to match your hardware ID? I know I had to do that way back when the PDA net drivers weren't even available.
'til then, user error.

I swear you people don't listen, look i did everything in the video exact when i try to manually specify the driver it comes back saying that the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device...

Well it is going to be basically one of two things.
1. Is user error of some sort. That is what people have been trying to help with.
2. Is hardware issue that no one can help you with of course. Or some software issue causing it to not show up for who knows what reason. Neither of which folks can help with since a computer is not seeing it. So they revert back to what they can. Point 1
When you asked a question like is there a zip that you can flash in stock recovery to give you root or custom recovery that also doesn't help your cause for people assuming user error.
The one other thing you can try is download mode and Odin.

Edit: That's nice of you albundy, but Mr grumpySasquatch (fitting name eh?) has tried everything, including modding the drivers inf. His Nexus S is broken beyond repair, also the first one we've ever seen that won't adb but works fine for USB mounting. *chuckle*
Heya, heard of this site from a buddy of mine who frequents it. I just picked up an HTC Thunderbolt secondhand. Im currently in the military in AIT and use phone as the primary internet source. With that being said, im trying to tether using pdanet. But i am interested in rooting my phone. I had much better success using wifi with the phone to get internet than this pdanet app. It just seemed to work better using foxfi than pdanet on my old droid2. The thunderbolt doesnt seem to like this idea, its telling me to call verizon to get hotspot ****, and im not all about that.
I downloaded the all in one rooting tool in the development section for the thunderbolt, and its giving me two errors... i try opening the main file and it says waiting for connection in the dos-like window. when i try to install the driver that it says to in the readme, it tells me "the device is using, Please stop using the device and try again"
Anyone have any info for me? kinda clueless as to what to do... i read through the entire post in that section and no one seems to have the problem im having

Anyone have any info for me? kinda clueless as to what to do... i read through the entire post in that section and no one seems to have the problem im having

From what I have read about the Thunderbolt, it has a unique combination of hardware so getting drivers and particularly source code has been very difficult. There are a lot of stable Gingerbread based ROMs, but the attempts at porting ICS stuff over are not stable from what I read. The good news is that the official ICS release for the Thunderbolt should just be a few weeks away at most, although there is some doubt now as to whether HTC will follow through with it.
Forgot to say welcome to XDA. Here is a guide which might help answer some of your questions about the site and how it works.
I believe you need to be in Charge-Only mode for the One-Click Root tool.

Saw your "video sig" and the comment next to it. Don't hold back. Tell us what you really think about cats.
Hi There,
I would really appreciate some help with rooting my HTC Sensation XL which runs Android version 4.0.3.
I am not too sure if I have posted this in the right section so my apologies if I haven't.
OK so I have been trying for about 6 weeks now to ROOT my HTC. The only reason that I wish to do so is so that I can delete the apps that can not be deleted from the phone IE Facebook,Twitter & similar apps. I don't use them any more and because of this I would like them off the phone.
I have spent many of hours trawling the net to find guides and step by steps on how to do this. I wouldn't say I know/understand a lot of what it asks me to do but at the same time I have a little knowledge so that I am not completely in the dark.
But after reading several step by steps,reading about all the files I need,I end up getting lost and very confused half way through so I decided that perhaps an app that does it for me would be best.
I have seen SuperOneClick recommended several times so I thought I couldn't go wrong with it.
I downloaded the file from CNET.It is version 2.3.3. I extracted it,plugged my phone in via usb (made sure it was in debugging mode) and then clicked "RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR" on the actual SOC icon. It brought up the box and I clicked "ROOT". It scrolled and it looked like it was going well until step 7 where it hangs and just states "WAITING FOR DEVICE".I gave it some time but after an hour of it not changing from this,I guessed that something was wrong. Then when I try and click on the window,it becomes unresponsive and I have to force close it.
I have searched for solutions to this,one forum even suggested that I download an older version of SOC which I did. But it pretty much did the same thing,just a different message.
As I said,all I want to do is delete these apps so if anyone can shed some light on the problem I am having and how I can actually root the phone in the most simplest terms (talk to me as if I was your Nan!) then I would be very grateful.
Thank you for your time

You should probably move this to the HTC sensation XL thread. This is only the HTC sensation/4g/XE thread. I'm sure there are more people who can help you out if you post in that thread...

Do NOT use any methods of rooting or anything else that you find in this forum. Like the post above says, this forum is for the Non XL Sensation. This is a different device with different processes. Using regular Sensation methods on an XL stands a real good chance of bricking your device.

Ah thank you very much! I couldn't find the forum for the XL so I assumed that this would be the only one. Shall try to find it now.
