Good evening,
I'm trying to return my HTC inspire back to it's original condition. I want the rom I had before I attempted ace's hack kit. (I wasn't pleased with Cyanogenmod). I followed the steps on how to return the device to stock through the hack-kit. But I'm having an issue with finding the appropriate rom. I can't even find a RUU to snag the rom from. Please help with links.
I just Googled Inspire stock ruu and found it in less than 10 seconds.

Thanks four-fifty for the link.
Are you sure what you found actually links somewhere?
Because after an hour of googling, I was still unable to find a reliable link.

for me to explain the 'whole' process would take a whole new thread. and it would be a sticky. if you really want to learn i invite you over to the team whiskey irc. if you get in the irc there are a few ppl who can walk you through it. but i would offer up more than a thx for their time. offer to donate to their paypal or something.

may be a stupid question but does this flash the radio too? Or do I have to do that afterwards.
Im new to the android community and phones. I bought an Inspire with gingerbread (2.3.3) and would like to add cyanogenmod to it but the tutorials look so "harmfull" they scare me away so i have some question.
Can i downgrade from 2.3 to android v1?
Have anyone here rooted and flashed the same phone I have?
What is "radio? Can I change it to another one? how can I tell if it will work with my carrier?
please, please, please. READ
these questions you are asking concern me
1. you dont downgrade to v1....because it doesnt exist
2. we all have the same phone as you, otherwise we wouldnt have an inspire section
3. there is an entire thread dedicated to this very subject....look in the dev section.
there are easy to follow guides, tutorials, and walkthroughs here, but you have to READ...there is ZERO excuse for not reading and comprehending this stuff. if it is too much for you, you should NOT be doing any of it, and leave your phone stock
This is why I said..im NEW with this... none of what you helped in some way.

Sorry if all you want is someone to hold your hand and spoonfeed information to you
NEW or not, it doesnt matter. I was NEW to this phone when i got it. I READ, the same way i have done with all my other phones. I READ to understand what i am doing and how to do it.

this question has come up several times in the last month. yes it works just fine
Hi, i just rotted the unit and everything was fine
So i decided to use, cyanogenmod, it installed
now i can make calls but it does not connect to the data network portion.
Any ideas?
I noticed the radio baseband is slighly different than the original. could it be?
Sorry. was quick. i entered the APN settings and it is now connecting.. just Edge....before (stock rom) i had "H" (guessing is 3G). Now it only connects to E (edge i assume).
The weird thing is that before whenever i was in an area with only edge It would not allow me to browse but now I can.
any idea jedi master?
you can try a different radio. look at the radio thread in the dev section
Sorry to bother you so much. I was able to solve the radio issue. Now, since the market app wasn't included i followed the guide on how to install gapps but after doing so i can't get pass the boot screen "touch the android to begin".
I try to wipe and reflash but still does not let me do it. Any ideas?
did you touch the android to begin?
Yes, sir. But it will still restart.
i try to wipe data and restart the process but same thing happens.
Tried taping the four corners and an still happening.
Someone said the the gapps file might be corrupted.
Right now cyanogenmod is a pain. is there a way to install another room or the stock one through recovery?
Thanks for all your help!

mount usb storage
on your computer, copy the rom zip onto the phone
back,
install zip file from sdcard

Hi all,
I am new to this community and new to smartphone.Very recently i got Inspire 4g with android version 2.3.3.I am very much interested in updating it to ICS.But from internet sources i have heard that HTC will most probably not give updates to Inspire 4g.So,the only option left to me is rooting.So,can someone kindly suggest me actually how to root my android device to ICS from scratch.I know nothing regarding rooting except that rooting gives administrator privileges.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!
First, you don't root to ics. Second, try actually looking in the development section

Well before it gets out of hand look up the advance hack kit read it..then read it again and maybe once more..
2nd before asking a general ? Look up that ? Before you make a thread of it because there is 100+ threads already made with same ?s look up bootloops ,PD98IMG, GET TO know them just in case you slip and fall you know how to pick yourself up..

Inspire will NOT get an ICS rom officially. You can only run roms after rooting. HTC is not releasing an ics update for our phones, the desirehd will get one but you can only take advantage of that if you are rooted. and as mentioned please do a bit more searching, as all of your questions have been asked many times.
Another thing to keep in mind before flashing/installing an ICS rom, there is not a single ICS rom that is fully functional at the moment. With most of the ICS roms besides small bugs here and there (that is if they still have any) either the camera or videocamara or both do not work and will not work until the dhd gets the update. Most of the roms in the dhd forum will work with the inspire.
As i ha already been mentioned, read and rea some more. You'll find a lot of nice "toys" to play with.

Just like the 2 members said ics has some bugs I used it from some other devs and from having a good cam and video to work was important to me and yes you can use 3 rd party but was not all that good.
Also understand the importance of backups this is some info I posted else where but its nothing special may help or so...
No need to say sorry lol...your ok just hate so the new ones get cyber yelled at by some mod and close your thread and not getting your answer.
But even though it maybe not be for the rom that your running but also check out the Q&As of those Roms.
And also I know the htc inspire thread for ROMs is always on top of the game here but just letting you know as well Desire HD forums is I would say you should go for the most recent ROMs and updates etc.. And yes Desire HD can be used for the Htc Inspire so thats where Im at for the most part..
But if you ever get a boot loop form a rom you flash make sure you fully wipe (sorry just funny every time.you will see what I mean) from rom to rom unless other wise...If you still happen to have the PD98IMG file still on your sd card happens when you 1st root and for get that its there delete I use Es File Explorer to find whats on the sd card there are others astro file manager. Also This happen to me once when I flash scripts,gps fix, kernels then the rom that I was going to use and it just totally F'd my phone or re boots random or just gets stuck on the htc screen..
But I had made this post for another user (new) maybe this may help:
So this is an idea of what I do when I flash a rom and some other ideas/tips.
Getting Started or Flashing A Rom:
Once you root your phone (this is not in any order really) you should get ROM Manager aka Clock Work Mod. Once you get that, open the CWM and the first top half you will see flash clockworkmod recovery make sure your on wifi I would at least for the updates. You will see a dialog box click desire hd. This will allow you to make back ups of your settings that you made when you flash a rom its always a good idea to make your backups its a life save!! So, once you made your back up and this is what I do.. I plug in my phone to the pc switch to disk mode which will let you see whats on your sd card. Since you flash the CWM and recovery you will see on your sd card a folder called clockworkmod open then backups folder you will see you back that you made, drag and drop that backup file that you made to your fold that you made on pc to save it for later. And thats pretty much how I save my backups of roms etc.. Now if you need to load that back up just plug phone in disk mode cwm fold>backup drag and drop back up that you need. And boot into recovery mode and select back up and restore and select restore and the file boot and your good..
I would download which Rom I would like to use. Save it to pc to a folder that I have made that I store all my roms, backups,radios & rils, kernels..etc.. just to keep myself organized. Once you get your rom just drag and drop it to the ROOT of the sd card do NOT add it in any folder thats on the sd card. Once you have it on the card just boot into recovery flash your rom.. Other then that its easy to flash the rom.. And when you get all your settings set up make a back up and when done save it to the pc and delete it from the sd card if you dont want to keep on the card I do that..
When it comes to battery life it depends on what the rom.. But I like to use killers http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ht=killersolth scripts for the kernels.. For me I always flash a different kernel upon flashing a new rom. For me having the kernel and killers script is the best combo for me to have for performance and battery life.. now since I have inspire I use the uv lites scripts.
For the most part flashing radios & Rils you would never really need to do that so I wouldnt recommend it for now maybe later but read about it its good to know what it does..
Other sides which I for got to add.. When you flash a new rom its always good to wipe user data.,cache, delvik it makes it for a good clean install with other roms..
Also the desire HD thread which the inspire can use the roms from that thread to.
Well I hope this helps you in any way.. if you need help PM me best of luck
SORRY FOR SUCH A LONG POST HAHA

and a stock ROM from here http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-inspire-4g-att/software-updates
So,i have a doubt now.In case if i screw up something while rooting can i go to stock(right now i have 2.3.3) and which is the better ICS ROM available for Inspire 4g for a starter like me without any bugs.
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance!!
Well once you root your phone its rooted just can't add a stock Rom to it to make it stock. There is thread in the inspire forum called returning to stock or something like that like as in stock out of the box the members name is genepool I think I had to use that to unroot ny friends phone it was very easy ... So keep in mind that you need to unroot to go back to out of the box stock Rom.
As you may know as my other post always make a recovery of what you have on your phone just in case.
Sandy I also messaged you about your ?s to the ICS roms

There are a few good ics roms, but none will be rock solid until its released officially to the DHD. Then we can have some goodness here on the inspire. The few that are out there are solid enough for now.
Welcome to xda, big rule is to learn to search. That question could have been answered very quickly by searching. I won't give you the names of the Ics roms out currently for that same reason. Search and ye shall find.

It's not the problem with searching but confusion as i am very new to smartphone,infact it's my first smartphone.Most of the guys in this forum own like above more than 2-3 smartphones.so,there won't be a issue fixing things and knowing things.

My friend so will all the replies and input I would say find what rom you like or seems very popular so if you need anything you know that thread is "alive", root your phone, backup, and flash the rom that you pick out. Once you do that go through all the set up.. and take that backup and save it to your pc(thats what I do) not to throw you off track here but there is kernels that will help out battery life like I stated in one of post. I would also look into kernels, which kernels are very easy to flash and scripts to match with the kernel but I think your ready

Ok, if you want to revert to stock and S-ON use Gene´s Method. Put the file (named PD98IMG.zip) in the root of the sdcard and the boot in hboot.
Never flash a froyo RUU if your phone is running GB. You will mess the bootloader. DON´T USE YOUTUBE TUTORIALS, just do the homework and read.
Have in mind that if you mess your phone no one but you will care. You can also use the last version of the Hack Kit to revert to stock and S-ON....
Thanks for the reply,Yes,i downloaded the gb stock as i was shipped with it.
My phone is an unlocked one.Will i have any problem while rooting,please advice as I am thinking that the stage is set for me to root my device and flash an ICS rom.

I've tried the official tmobile radio, one of the old Europe radioas and the new 4.0.4 radio, they all worked fine for me. 4.0.4 being the best.
Try wiping and flashing again, make SURE you wipe System, and factory reset. Heck, do it twice just to make sure.
I don't think anyone else is having problems.
