So my Inspire has been buggy ever since I tried to ENG S-Off it with Easy S-Off.
When I go to turn it on, it stays off for 8-10 minutes, then FINALLY turns on and hangs at the white HTC screen for a minute or two and constantly vibrates, then hangs there some more, then EVENTUALLY turns on and works fine. It does this every time.
Do I have a bad HBoot? Do I need a new P****.zip file or whatever it is?
Anyone know what I can do to fix this? I tried flashing back to stock with the Ace Hack Kit, but that involves the phone rebooting and it took so long to reboot that the hack kit timed out and failed.
First off your first issue was messing with Eng s-off. You should seriously research this topic due to the fact that messing with this setting is VERY DANGEROUS to the phone if you dont know what your doing, damage can be permanent and is a sure way to brick your phone. Its more for the advanced user and not a novice. All you needed is rooted s-off to do whatever you want to phone and if your trying to flash a radio there are flashable radios without Eng s-off. Head over to the Ace Hack Kit IRC chat and you might find the help you need there.

Exactly as Reinaldo told u. You have messed your bootloader up...you need to fix it. Go to where he directed you. ENG S-OFF is not necessary and very dangerous. Using PD98IMG files is just fine and works great.
Well the only reason I tried the Eng S-Off is because I was told to do so by the maker of Android Revolution in order to be able to flash a certain custom radio he suggest works best with my version 7.0.2
SO I just go into the IRC and explain my issue and they'll hopefully try and help me out?
EDIT: I searched everywhere and can't seem t find the Ace Hack Kit IRC chat you speak of.

I NEVER flash radios no matter what rom I use or what radio it recommends. If I recall radios are dependant on your area. I tried flashing recommended radio from a rom and got completely ****TY service so I went back to my stock. Now I flash no radio no matter what the rom recomends.

Well the reason I wanted to try the recommended radio is because the one I have (had) gave me poor reception. But maybe there's nothing I can do about that.

Actually, you were not told to ENG S-Off your phone by mike1986 (ARHD dev). All he says is that you need ENG S-Off to flash the radio he has in his thread. 99% don't flash a radio in that way, as the others in this thread have said. Make sure you thoroughly research everthing you plan to do to your phone before you attempt it.
Here's what you need: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19920345&postcount=5965

I recently switched to the CoreDroid HD V8 rom. I am using the suggested radio:
12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 - (HTC Ace Gingerbread S Generic 2.36.0)
- Also flash the following RIL package: RIL_2.36
But ever since switching from stock to this setup, I end up on 3g and edge, when I used to stay on 4g. I was wondering if this is normal, or a problem with the radio or rom I am using.
Check your speed through the speedtest.net app. Inspire based ROMS show H+ no matter what. Others do not give you that fake H+. They give you the normal E, 3G, H and so on.
Yeah that's what I was thinking. So as long as I am able to make and recieve calls, and data is working. And I am not having the battery drained from tower bouncing, then the radio I am using is fine?

If the radio is working fine for you, then I wouldn't recommend changing anything.. Especially if you don't really understand it.
But on the other hand.. when I initially rooted my phone.. I was just using the stock radio and had no problems either.. but then when I did flash a recommended radio, I did notice an improvement.
In the end, it is up to you. If you want to learn a bit more about your phone and possibly improve your experience, I would suggest that you read this sticky (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1106324) and then do what it says.

According to what I understand, no need to flash a new radio unless dropped calls or no data usage is a problem. I just like to go all the way with whatever I do, so I update everything I can.

I rooted my captivate but never got into ROMS and such with it, not that I have the Inspire I have flashed a handful of ROMS and whatnot... however I just got the guts (and knowledge) to flash radios... I went with LEEs rom and recommended radio however I noticed that my DL speeds were way low (below 1mps) so I went back to the stock radio and ril and boom right back where they we before... so if your phones working I see no reason to change anything..
So I was trying to root last night, and now I get n extreamy long boot up time, seriously it vibrates on white htc page for a full 2 minutes prior to it saying "HTC Quietly Brilliant" (vibrate happens in white HTC screen) then it will boot up to normal os. stuck on military time, and Super User with Visionary shows up in app list but not actually rooted. How can I fix this, and restore to box settings? I had no problems when rooting my captivate, so I figured I could do this one. I had to downgrade, so used JSL's method on driphter .com to downgrade, and started using Bubby's rooting. Bubby's still wouldn't work, so completed the rooting process with the one I just listed.
flash RUU then re root

You might want to try attn1's IRC channel.

Most of us sleep sometime or another (I'm not sure about attn1).
Anyway, you've got the wrong hack kit. Popular demand forced ATTN1 to include the ENG hboot, but it was soon determined that the latest Inspires off the line were having problems with the ENG hboot so it was scrapped after a day or so. If you are still trying to D/L a link to the old one, then it will certainly fail. Get the latest here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
You WILL need to change your hboot. Reinstalling the RUU will do that, then you can root again with the latest.
As far as the IRC channel, best bet is during working hours US time (like 8am to 8pm PST or so).

Phone: HTC Inspire 4gRadio: 26.13.04.19
Ril: 2.2.0179Rom: GB Sense 4.0 by fshami
Hello to every one here in this forum.
I am posting here a topic about a problem I have with my new htc inspire 4G.
I had rooted my phone with success with the ace hack kit and loaded the revolution
HD rom .after one o 2 days II thought I load the radio that was given with this rom
So I went to make the phone eng s-off and I forgot to check the I have s-off.
Now the problem is I cannot get to the boot screen and when I turn on the phone it takes about half an hour to start. After that every thing is ok.trying every thing to get the stock rom back but no success. All the methods I found at this forum will fail. The phone just freezes and I have to take the battery to start it again and wait for half an hour to start.
Any help would be grateful.
Thanks.
Look for Gene Poole's s-on tool. Follow his instructions and return to stock. Then try the hack kit from attn1. You should be set then.

You need to get a proper hboot installed. The newer Inspires have some hardware just enough different that the ENG hboot and/or the older Froyo hboot images will cause just this problem. Since you were able to install this, then you are obviously S-OFF. As such, you can install a new hboot from the booted phone (once it is finally booted) but it is tricky and involves operations that could really screw things up. Your best bet is to jump into the IRC channel and get some real-time help with this:

Hello and thanks for your replys.
I am new to these things and i did manager to root my phone with sucsess and load a new rom. The only problem is with the hboot now. How can i fix it to be ok.

Have you tried hittng the irc link above that gene poole posted for you??????
I got your 10 char right here
You should read up on this phone in the threads. Its been stated many places that eng s-off messes with the new hboot and you dont even need it to flash a radio. Hboot does this with a pd98img without needing eng s-off. But I hope you go to the link suggested and get it fixed. Stay away from eng s-off.

Alright, so I've had an htc sensation running on leedroid 3.10 for quite some time now. Recently it started to restart randomly, so I decided to upgrade my rom. So then I attempted to install insertcoin ICS, but I needed a new radio. So I chose one figuring it would work and now my device doesn't connect to internet or even my data. Whenever I try to install a different radio now to attampt fixing it, it says I have the wrong CID! I NEED my phone to work soon because i have a lot of important things to do that involve it!! Thanks for all help and please respond soon! FYI it says my radio is 10.11.9007.06_M2. Should I maybe reflash the hboot?
EDIT: And in case you're wondering, I've been searching for the solution for hours. I've never been more afraid of anything not working than this phone, and I can't afford a new phone, so please help!
First, you need to be superCid in order to install any radio without issue, Have a look in this post, Step 4
After that, you need to install corresponding firmware before flashing ICS rom. read this Thread

Hi,
10.11.9007.06_M2 is a few steps backwards/downwards on the radio ladder.
You can see the order HERE
What is your actual plan?
Do you want ICS?
If you want ICS ,you either need Super CID,or look at THIS POST
Right now there are 2 ICS bases:
3.12.....Sense 3.5
3.24.....Sense 3.6
When you install the appropriate firmware for either ROM,it will have the new radio inside the PG58IMG.zip
A good thread to follow is HERE
If you are not confident about upgrading to ICS,you could just flash the radio:
10.58.9035.00U_10.15.9035.02_2
and carry on with GingerBread.
Hey all, I'm sorry if this seems an odd question, but I'm still trying to get my head wrapped around the process of how the One S gets different features flashed to the device.
I don't have my One S yet (Hopefully it'll arrive later today, 7/27) but I wanted to be prepared when it arrives.
It seems the links are broken in this post and it's stating that this thread is outdated.
If I'm going to flash a new ROM on the device, are the radios generally included in that ROM already? I see that you often times need to manually flash BOOT.IMG on a per-ROM basis due to not having s-off? I'm comfortable with all of that, I just want to make sure that I'm not missing anything, and unfortunately it seems as though there is little information in some of the threads on XDA that clearly answer my question.
Call it a personality defect, I just like to 100% understand something in every possible way before being able to attempt it. Unfortunately when I don't have the device in front of me, it prevents me from being able to do that, but that's what forums are for, right?
Cheers all, I appreciate anyone taking the time to answer my question.

The latest radio with android 4.0.4 rom is said to be much better in terms of performace of wifi and cellular data signal then all previous versions, unfortunately buying a phone at this stage means that you probably will have a later hboot version 1.13 and this hboot doesnt allow flashing radio from recovery like the previous versions. You can find out more info about the radio in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781033
To answer your other question the radio has to be flashed separately from the ROM. Hopefully your phone comes with a lower hboot so flashing wont be a problem, make sure you dont accept the ota update out of the box like i did so u dont accidently get an upgraded hboot. Makes life more diificult ;p.
Its a used phone and is already running CM9, so I'm hoping its the older boot. I already made sure it was the S4, but I just realized that the unlocked phones don't support TMOUS bands, so I'm a bit screwed at the moment.
I don't know what the next step is for me, so I may be forced to move to Straight Talk until I can get another 100% compatible TMOUS phone. I saw it has 2100 HSPA radio frequencies so I had assumed it would work on TMOUS. Needless to say I feel pretty stupid now.
Thanks again for the links, they were exactly what I was looking for!
