[Q] Rooting the Stock 2.3.3 Rom

Hey all,
I just bought an Inspire today and am very satisfied with it so far, but I would love to know if there is any way to root the stock 2.3.3 Rom that came with the phone. I didn't update it myself, it came pre-loaded with Gingerbread. I would like to root because I want to be able to get a Rom running that has Sense 3.0. Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't seem to find anything while sifting through plenty of threads...lol. Thanks again guys!

Awesome. Now to try and decipher all that technical mumbo jumbo...lol. do I need the android sdk installed and what not?

The instructions are there, just read and follow them you will be fine. Most questions are answerEd in the thread. Its pretty simple even though it seems overwelming.
I was really skerd when I started, but after doing it was I realized I stressed over nothing.
Good luck with it and enjoy.

Unfortunately not. I need a custom rooted ROM with gb 2.3.3 as a base so I can use the ruu to put it back to stock.

I have no issues flashing an old RUU on my phone with ICS on it, just need s-off and super cid

His phone doesn't have s-off. That's the issue. Need it back to stock so I can use revolutionary to root properly.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Maybe factory restore will do.... That might bring it back to the old version.... I'm assuming he was just getting official OTAs

He had just got the phone 2 weeks ago. Used htcdev to unlock. Now can't get s-off or relock.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

So he's S-ON, but unlocked via HTC?
What HBOOT is he on?

Just reflash the latest RUU for his handset - you don't need to go back at all

I have been running the ruu through windows and it always gets an error. Is there a different way to flash it?
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Connect the phone in fastboot mode and then run it - works fine for me that way

...and it worked that way with your bootloader unlocked?

Finally got this fixed. Thanks for all of the help.

Sent from my Inspire 4G using xda premium

I was afraid you would ask that
I know its just a matter of changing desire hd to inspire 4G.
I dont have access to a computer and doing a search from the cell is kinda a pain.
Do a search in the dev section, there are several threads/pages about changing the build prop - mainly they'll talk about editing to get better data speeds. A few will mention how to change the branding.
You can download rom toolbox (which is the only one I remember right now) that has an option to change the build prop.

Not really. Its used on Existz aosp ics rom without problems. I could be wrong and correct me if I am, but all it does is update branding and change GPS over to NA. Its not cm7 only. But I am new to all this so if I'm wrong, than sorry for the bad advice.

[Q] New to Inspire and have a question

Hi, I'm coming from an LG thrill ... and I was just wondering when I'm installing custom roms, am I able to just download them directly from the phone and flash in recovery, or do I need to download them on the pc and manually place in the root of the sdcard to install. I'm sorry if this was already asked but Ive been searching all morning for an answer and can't seem to find one, and I don't really wanna brick my phone in anyway lol. Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks !!!

Either way works just make sure your internet connection is reliable

You can flash desire hd roms as well on the inspire. With some of the roms you may need to flash a seperate fix, but usually they are already incorporated in the rom. They are usually stated in the op.

If they all failed, best to run the 2.20 ruu and then s-off.

Most likely because if you miss one step, you can brick your phone. I would suggest looking in the general section and clicking on ruu collection. Please make sure you read it carefully. Instructions are there. If you still are confused, you can go thru the posts. Reading the comments always help

OK just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37227608 grab the 2.20 ruu for AT&T only. It should say Cingular and ICS. Run that so you can upgrade. Don't download the 3.18 or jb, or else all of this was for nothing.

I stick by that OP shouldn't root. I am really not trying to be insulting, for your own good, if you cannot figure out how to ruu to 2.20, you are clearly not ready. Check the are you ready to root thread in my signature.

Thanks for the lookout, but I've rooted lots of phone and believe it or not I've never had to use ruu at all. I guess this is like using Odin for Samsung phones.

It's just a matter of downloading the ruu and running it with the phone plugged in.

The ruu tells you step by step what to do. These phones are more tempermental than Samsung stuff. If you rush it and miss a step you will probably end up with a paperweight

I agree that Samsung+Odin makes life easier. But I like the challenge in AT&T (and Motorolas). Whatever floats your boat. Glad you got it rooted. Can you put a [fixed] or [solved] tag in your title? That way people can easily find the answer instead of making a new thread

If the OP paid attention to this, he would have been led to the correct 1.85 root method. There is currently only one valid method for 1.85.
