Thought I did pretty good for a noob and not asking a single question. Rooted my HTC Inspire 4g. All was good until I flashed cm7. Now the loading screen sticks on HTC then fades away, however I can still bring up the bootloader. is there a way to flash stock rom from here, or did I brick my phone?
No you did not brick phone just get pd98 rooted stock rom place in root of SD then power up with volume down and power button at same time into hboot it will see pd98 ask to install volume up for yes let it do its thing.
Or just go to recovery that same way and reflash cm7.

When u say u rooted your phone...are u sure of that? Make sure you are S-OFF, otherwise you won´t be able to flash a custom rom....
BTW, how did u root it?...

This is kinda late but oh well. Yes it is rooted, s-off, used aahk. When I first posted this I had no idea what I was doing. Since then, I'm working on learning development side of things and am helping out with a hardware fix on HTC Vivid CM10 jellybean rom on rootz. My Inspire 4g is still on cm7 and I use it as a back up when I'm working on my Vivid. Better late than never, but thanks for ya'lls help back when.

I'm already rooted running CM7 so I wouldn't be able to test this out.
Does anyone know of a reason this wouldn't work ?
I have a stock Inspire headed my way today and one way or another it is going to be rooted within an hour or so of it getting into my mitts !
Is there a SBF for the Inspire so I can reload the original ROM should things go south ?
To perm root this phone, the hboot(bootloader) has to be downgraded to take advantage of an exploitable one to get S-Off(nand lock) so radios and roms can be flashed. Gingerbreak only temp roots and doesn't attain s-off.
Search for the RUU, it's what's needed restore the stock unrooted rom.

Downloading the Stock now, thank you !
Should have searched before asking.
Going to give it a go as I haven't seen anything written about it. Figure as long as I have a stock to get back to it can't do much harm, that and it will wipe the SD card which is handy as it is a used phone. I go through a few and some of the things people leave on their old phones amazes me. Can be amusing though !

so do you want to go back to stock rom unrooted? or stock rom which is rooted?
To find out your ROM version go to settings > about phone > software information.
Post the info that you find there please. This is the first step.

sounds like you are in the same boat i was in. i s-offed, rooted, and flashed roms, then wished i could go back to stock.
There is a way to do this but if u are new to all this then it's difficult. What i would recommend it staying s-off and just flashing back the stock rom which can be found here https://rapidshare.com/#!download|74...CDBD275E3244F1
As i came to realise you are a LOT better off having s-offed, and you will come to see that the custom roms here are an awful lot better than what comes with the phone. Just give it time.
if you still want to s-on and return completely to stock, post back and i will point u in the right direction

under that what does it say under "software number"?
Build number, kernel version, software number?
I'd say there is no reason to panic at this point. The symptoms you described seem minor and surely it's possible to fix everything.

Yea that's what I thought too, just give it time. I'd also recommend to stay s-off and possibly you might even want to go back to stock rom (where you've been originally) but to keep root access. I think you might be glad in the future. You can always go to complete stock later.

if u follow the guide i just gave you this will remove revolutionary from hboot menu and return you to completely to stock.
basically the HBOOT revolutionary has installed on your phone is locked against updating so you need to push the ENG HBOOT S-OFF via adb, then you can just flash the stock RUU which will downgrade HBOOT back to stock and remove clockworkmod recovery. everything will be exactly as it was before you touched it

sounds like you are on the stock rom already then.
it will just be rooted assuming u have superuser installed.
I am looking for the stock ROM so I can do a warranty return. I am looking for the zip NOT the ruu. I heard you can get the rom out of the RUU but i don't know how. thanks
I hope someone answers because I have the same problem. I think my phone is going to have to be returned because the touch screen is getting very flaky and does not always respond like it should.
Same here also, wanted to go back to out of the box stock after rooting and s off and flashing arhd Rom. Theres so many threads and so many steps on each thread and so confusing to follow for a noob like me. Hope somebody can shed some light here

I realized that I had made a nandroid backup before I started all the S-off, rooting, and ROM changing so I just did a restore and I'm back to 100% stock. Funny thing is my screen quit acting up and is back to normal.

There's a pinned thread in the development section that will do just that. It says FAQ on it. It's written so a middle schooler can understand.

To get back to stock, you need to use an RUU. You can't flash a zip in recovery, because ytou need to remove recovery to be stock, and the only way to remove the revx stuff is flashing a stock ROM.

Ok So back in the day I used the ace hack kit so I was happily on froyo me specs are:
Android Version 2.2.1
Kernel Version 2.6.32.21-g3c08447
Software Number Inspired DHD AFR003
so now as I remember I did the s-off rooted and unlocked but need to go back to stock firmware (IDK just want it) so att made the update to gingerbread so my question is:
If I update like the way the htc page tells me to will it brick my phone ?
and if not what do I have to do?
ive just been out of it and im a little back behind but I find posts with other things than this thanks in advance guys!

It has all the instructions and tools you need to return to stock.
but I cant just execute the htc update and what would happen my main concern is messing up my phone by just updating to the official Gingerbread I am on still on the same specs
Yes you can just flash the gingerbread ruu. You will be stock but still have soff which is fine unless you were going to do some kind of warranty claim then I would suggest gong son aswell

Do you mean the OTA update, or the RUU from HTC's website? If the former, then no, you can't unless you are running a rock-stock froyo ROM (it will abort before doing anything). If the latter, then yes, you can run it, but it will wipe everything.

Flashing ghe htc OTA update while you are S-Off will not work. Found this out the hard way back when I first started messing with phones
You can un root your phone and put S-On and update it to gingerbread but I don't think you'll be able to root it as I believe the hack kit requires you to downgrade firmware anyway.
Best bet is to just flash a gingerbread rom. If your trying to keep sense I would suggest the rom virtuous unity.
Has sense 3.0 with a load of new features and is gingerbread I believe.
Either way, best of luck. Hope this helps

i have an htc evo shift 4g that originally had 2.3.4 on it. i successfully (i think) downgraded the system to 2.2. but every single time i try to flash the hboot_eng.nb0 to gain S-off the md5sum comes back different than its supposed to be. funny thing is, its perm-rooted somehow. i decided to go ahead and reboot anyway and attempt perm-root and it stuck. no brick, no errors, no nothing. its fine. but as far as i have read i need to have S-off to be able to flash custom roms.
am i correct in this assumption?
before anyone tries to point me to an hboot flashing tutorial, be aware i have looked at ABSOLUTELY EVERY SINGLE ONE AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO A T!!!!!
any help would be absolutely appreciated
EDIT: SOLVED
ok so after thinking i did everything right (which i sorta did) i glanced through all the tutorials again and found the answer.
CREDIT GOES TO gzetski and unbrkshft AT ANDROIDFORUMS.COM
All I had to do was re-install 2.2 per gzetski's instructions. Then I followed the rooting instructions at the top of this post as if I was running 2.3.4. It was flawless. I was able to downgrade the hboot and S-OFF. The phone is now running CM7 and the owner is quite pleased.

so basically read the instructions found HERE but follow the instructions for 2.3.4

You don't have to be S-Off to flash custom ROMs... but it sure makes it easier. Go into bootloader and let us know exactly what it says at the top, there should be about 4 lines.
Re: [Q] Cannot for the life of me flash hboot on 2.2
Yup, if you're s-on you can flash roms but you have to flash the kernel seperately, which means you have to carry around a computer with you whenever you go on a flashing spree
