Directly from the O.P. of the hack kit thread, the same O.P. you should have read entirely before using the hack kit.
If you have read this post and the effen-manual and get stuck during processing,
help is available in IRC at http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#aahkSupport
they will be able to get you fixed up quicker then this thread...
12.3 is a really really old version. I would download the newer one first

By anywhere, you must mean anywhere other than the official aahk thread in the development section, because there it is 13012012. Go there and get the right version and you probably won't have a problem.

That version of the Hack Kit is no longer supported, so I really doubt that you downloaded it from the Thread. Anyway, try running the aahk from a livecd (ubuntu)...but first make sure you check the connectivity of your phone with the PC.

Then try the Ubuntu Live CD method. That's how I did it. Much easier than uninstalling a bunch of stuff.
I used the live cd method too

Given you've tried Live CD.
You are using a laptop? Or a PC (If PC, be sure to use the rear ports (manual), if laptop try a different USB header (usually the side of the laptop with the most inputs [usb, firewire, network, VGA, HDMI]))
For windows, you didn't say that you've killed processes as mentioned in the manual. Ctrl-Shift-Esc (windows) will take you to the process list. Be sure ALL processes are killed (Like Bonjour from Apple)
And another windows thing... ejecting the device (say after you've moved a file to the phone) will cause this.
And, I'm a little confused... You said one versoin of aahk earlier, then another later in the thread. Can you please link the forum post where you have downloaded AAHK from?
Not that this is likely a solution, but it will elimiate a few* things.

Generally I would use the search box or google for that matter to search for your root method then click the FAQ or help section. I'm not trying to come off as condescending here, but I know the use of search is heavily stressed here on XDA. Also, a little better clarity in the post other than

If I may expand on this. There will be 3 HTC entries after installing sync. You only want to remove the one that says sync, not all 3.

Well that happened to me when trying to do it through the usb connection to the phone as well as through my micro-sd to usb (not to full sd then usb) adapter. Try putting the microsd in a standard SD adapter then doing it that way. It is what worked for me after failing multiple times the other way.
Trial, Error, and the Search Box
I downloaded Bubby's One Click program (3-21-11_RC2.exe) and here is exactly what happened:
1. I know this may be my undoing but I did not turn off antivirus, it found a virus and cleaned it. Knowing my luck it cleaned something out that was critical in the steps.
2. I got the goldcard done (website was down the other day). I got it downgraded and now I have a working debranded Froyo Inspire 4g on 1.32.405.6. But with no sound.
Now something went wrong during a command prompt part and the program did not progress. I tried rerunning the program but it does not progress as it should.
What do I do now? I am going to try follow Cyanogen steps on their Wiki but is their an easier fix?
You need to completely disable or even uninstall your anti virus. Then, delete all of the one click root files. Then redownload, and start over.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
You could push rage to your phone to root it you can still root it with the downgraded rom. You don't have to start from the beginning. Just the part that pushes rage after you turn you anti virus off and redownload the gui.
The downgraded rom does not have the right audio drivers which is why you have no sound.
Also next time please search as there are many many many threads about this.
Mods please close.

I did a search and did not find the procedure. I also searched on the internet. The problem is I do not know how to fix it and rerunning the file does not work. when you do a search for no sound Inspire 5 threads come up and I did not know what to do still.
I will do a search for how to push rage to the phone. Remember the 500mb program does not exactly let you pick and choose the point where to start.

use the hack kit. you can even use the older hack kit. It doesn't really matter the size of the program, its how the program is scripted.
There are many threads of downgraded inspire with no sound, the solution is flashing a rom, though you cannot do that because you are not rooted nor are you s-off.
your options.
1. Flash back to stock and restart the whole process.
2. Push rage from adb, then run rage through turminal emulator.
3. Use the hack kit, because you can choose where to start in the proccess, ie. Pushing rage and rooting.
Try using the hack kit. Start with menu option number3.

This is still going on??? I got one of the first Inspires when Costco was selling them even before AT&T would.
Same exact problem using the Bubby One Click method way back in February.

I checked up on him a few weeks ago....doing a lot of wheeling and dealing for devices / hardware on some other threads probably for dev work...that's obviously not the Inspire .
I've tried the new supertool v3 and the aahk hack and it doesnt seem to do anything. It might be my computers fault cause it keeps giving me weird errors like my usb device has malfuctioned or windows doesnt recognize it. I'm lot and would like some assistance if someone could help
thanks,
mike
finally figured out it was my other computer so i moved to a different computer and am using the supertool hack and i prepped it like it said and it seemed to do something, then i went to #3 cause it says attempt perm root so i clicked that and it seemed to be doing something and then flashed at me and said rooted! and my phone turned white and i had 4 option like bootloader, reboot, reboot botloader, and something else i forgot. I'm not sure what i should do from here so i clicked just bootloader and it took me to a different screen then i just restarted it and i downloaded terminal emulator and typed in su to see if it was rooted and it wasnt. I'm confused once my screen turns white and asks me what to do
By "Supertool", do you mean Bubby's root method?
Idk who its from, but i got it from this website and its called htc supertool and says it works on almost every htc phone
No he mean the HTC supertool from the general android section. Use the Ace hack kit. It is the only proven way that I know of. We have all used it at one time or another and as long as you read the manual you will be fine.
This maybe a little exaggerated, but you may download Ubuntu and run from a USB drive for example and run aahk from there...

It's not recommended to run from a USB drive. Use a live CD instead. (It's in the effen manual for aahk).
You can install the live CD in a usb with unebooting, that's what I mean

lol what are you saying? The Hack Kit is the best way to go. The OP has been instructed to use this tool and if he still runs into a problem, the OP should re-read the the first post in the hack kit thread and the manual to be sure he/she didn't miss a thing. If problems still persist I believe the IRC chatroom is still in service.

So I am trying to root a brand new Inspire 4G I picked up last week.
But I can't even get adb access. The driver is not working. I have tried the ones on the SD card, the one from the HTC site, the ones from Google, etc.. I just tried forcing the Google driver after modifying the inf to include the device (something I read to try in another post) And it comes up as an ADB Interface Composite Device, but says I need to restart, and still doesn't work at that point.
I restart and it automatically installs a different driver thats shows up in device driver as " My HTC" with a yellow Exclamation mark.?
I have tried uninstalling Sync and all the drivers asociated with anything to do with the phone in device manager. But it still keeps installing as that "My HTC".
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
The best, and IMO flawless way to root using Ace Advance Hack Kit is to make a Ubuntu Live CD and run it from Ubuntu. Just too much crap to worry about disabling in Windows.

Just wiped all data off my phone before flashing CyanogenMod 10. Problem is, I need to reboot into the bootloader so I can flash the boot.img since I have the 2.20 AT&T update. But I can't get my computer to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. I'm using Windows 8 64-bit, and I've tried multiple threads with Win8 64-bit drivers, and installing the drivers with signature verification disabled.

Yeah, like I said, HTC Sync didn't solve my problem for whatever reason.
However, it occurred to me that I've never had to worry about Android drivers with Mac and Linux, and I was able to use fastboot without a problem from a Ubuntu LiveCD, without resorting to downgrading my hboot. Granted it meant downloading and configuring the android tools in Ubuntu, and I wouldn't want to do it on a regular basis, but it's okay as a workaround, and this whole fiasco has me seriously considering switching my laptop to Ubuntu from Win8 (I could dual-boot), but I don't really have enough disk space for 2 operating systems).

Next find andriod , it should be greyed out. If you don't find install win 64 bit driver. It will still not recongize android when plugged in so click greyed out android and choose Manuel update. Then click browse for driver and go into win 64 drivers and manually choose. There is a lot of utube and other tutorials if you Google manuel install HTC drivers for win 8. Hope this helps ya.

I was able to get mine working with the combo of
1. uninstalling any HTC sync or sync manager and the HTC BMP USB Driver. Basically anything HTC.
2. Install HTC sync. Not sync manager. Go to the HTC support page and you'll see both listed. If you go to the specific phone support page it might not be there. (One S doesn't have the sync program, just sync manager iirc.)
3. Download PDAnet. When installing, It'll give a warning that you already have drivers installed and ask if you want to fix them or leave as is. I chose it to fix and it went though its process and I had working drivers after that.
I think this was already suggested before. I going back and giving thanks wherever due after this post. (On the mobile app right now)
Other easy way if you're using a One S is to download Hasoon2000's All-On-One Toolkit. He's updated the drivers for windows 8. I haven't tried it yet as mine are working so haven't had the need. I would assume his tool for any of the other phones he supports would have the updated drivers too.
