[HOWTO][ROOT/CWM] Rooting the 04-29-11 HTC Update[FROYO]

EDIT: You can also just flash THIS by attn1 to accomplish the same goal.
The update for 1.84 for the Inspire 4G was released on 4-29-2011 as an OTA update. It WILL NOT RUN on rooted ROMs.
Things I have personally observed about this ROM:
Quick. Seems to respond very well to input, no real hesitations. I won't tell you quadrant scores because they are useless.
GPS WORKS! Exceptionally well. 3-6 FOOT accuracy. The highest TTL I have seen is 17s.
Fast. HSUPA is working well, 1.3mbps up. I hit 6mbps down on a regular basis with this ROM. YMMV, of course. But it works great here in North Texas.
Third party non market Apps install. Yes, you read that right. There is no selector to turn it on or off, though. They work for me. YMMV.
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE, COMPUTER, PLACE OF RESIDENCE, OR PETS.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prerequisites:
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with microSD card inserted (HOW TO thanks to attn1)
RUU to stock 2.2.1 v1.80 (Located here thanks to cmstlist)
Gingerbreak v1.2 (From Chainfire) loaded on your SD Card
The OTA update note: place in /sdcard/download. This method is untested.
Sideload Wonder Machine if install of Gingerbreak does not work.
A valid Wi-Fi connection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Follow these steps to achieve a rooted 2.2.1 v1.84 stock ROM
1. RUU your phone to stock following instructions provided in the above thread using the pd98img.zip method, NOT THE .EXE!
2. Boot phone, don't bother adding any accounts or setting anything but a wifi connection up.
3. Go to Settings, choose AT&T Software Update, then choose HTC Wi-Fi Software Update.
4. Download and install
5. Boot phone into updated stock ROM.
6. Install Gingerbreak v1.2 and run it. It will crash HTC Sense launcher, force close it, then you will see an error saying it could not reboot phone. Reboot manually using power button. If it gives you a weird error on boot such as a picture of a phone and a red mark, pull the battery then reboot.
7. ROOT! Yes, you now have root. Verify superuser.apk is in your app drawer, then I strongly recommend installing busybox from the market.
8. Install ROM Manager from the market and flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I have had no issues with 3.0.2.6.
That's it, done! I have had a couple small FC's from SU when first granting permissions to an app, to fix it open the actual superuser app then go back to the offending program. Once granted permissions this should not occur anymore.
I hope this helps!
If I missed anyone in the thanks above it was purely unintentional. PM me and I will correct the oversight.

I think you mean 3rd party apps is enabled? Not slideload.
Great job with the guide.

Eh, either way. Install isn't blocked anymore and that is all that matters. I think we all owe Amazon some thanks.

It may not have rolled out for everyone yet. You can try placing the update file, not renamed, in /sdcard/download then run the update.

so lemme get this straight, AT&T finally enabled the ability to install apps that are not from the market?
Or am I just seeing things and mis understanding.

How do you manually install this file? I already downloaded it and moved it to the download folder under my SD card.

As I said that method is untested, try the check for updates step and see if it thinks it is a previously downloaded update that wasn't installed.

Now when I press att check for update it tells me I have to wait a day before I can try again.

You can always set your date a day ahead when you go to check again. At least we know that doesn't work.

a little "birdie" told me that at&t is rolling this out to 10K users a day for the first three days, then evaluating the results and - assuming all goes well - will bump up to 25K-50K users on 5/2, and then 50K users a day until done beginning 5/3 or 5/4. don't know for sure, though, if this is why you're having to wait for 1 more day.

i have the update, where do you go to let it install non market apps? i tried downloading the amazon app store thingy but it still says install blocked.

If you downloaded the update prior going back to stock Un-rooted, then you need to either format you SD card or use another one. When I went back to stock, the update didn't show up for me, but as soon as I changed my SD card, the OTA came right up after I prompted for an update.

Has anyone tried to install the updated rom on a stock rooted rom like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965634
Any luck?

I wouldn't much worry about updating to this if your phone is rooted. Soon enough someone will have a rooted and CWR Flashable version of this. With so many good roms and Devs here I assume it wont be long.

I think that is the difference maker. Hence why s-off is listed as a prerequisite.

[Q] Can not Download apps in Market.

I have recently rooted and installed Android Revolution on my wife's inspire.
However I just realized that i am unable to download from the market any apps. All I get is 2 secs of the downloading arrow before it disappears and i am prompted to
download again. I have tried clearing data in the market app and rebooting to no avail. Internet works as does browsing the market.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Trev
Edit, tried over wifi, tried an older version of the market app and still no luck.

Re-install the Rom, ensuring you clear the Delvik and wipe everything before install.

I'll give it a try.

Once done. if the issue continues;
1. Are you getting any error messages when you attempt to use market? When you turn the phone off and on? Anytime?
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
3. Have you tried going to market on a PC and pushing an app to the phone? Does the app push when you do?

No error messages, power cycling the phone has not helped.
2. When was the last time it worked? Ever? Are you sure market sees your account and you are logged in?
since flashing I'm not sure if it has worked. I am logged in, and can see apps under my apps. Anything I have attempted to dl is listed there, but is not listed as installed.

Hi,
One of 2 things you can try:
Settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache.
And/or go into recovery and clear cache and dalvik.

Have you tried uninstalling the updates in the market application settings as well?

This happened to me a few weeks ago, I tried everything suggested and finally had to revert to an older backup I had. I never did figure out why it happened or why my backup fixed it, but it was suggested that it had something to do with an error on google's end. I know some have fixed this by creating a new google account.

To resolve issue you need to go to market and download Market Enabler (Green with ME in icon)
Open it. Press and hold on your carrier and say fake it.
Open market. Problem will be solved.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 9 Alpha Unable to install/update

I cannot install or update any apps on my phone. I can restore them via titanium, but not through the store. Does anybody have any ideas?
I'm running the release from 29th March 2012 if that helps...

It seems that trying to install the latest gapps has fixed it for now.
But it does keep trying to update Osmos, even though I bought it through the humble bundle instead of the pay store. Any help?
Also, don't know how to edit from the app, hence the double post.

Don't worry about the double post, nothing to worry about here.
You can try to clear the cache from play store, or maybe reinstall it. reboot your phone.
Sometimes it needs a while for the store to recognize all your apps and settings.

I restarted my phone last night and I couldn't install apps again. Rebooted into recovery and reinstalled gapps again and it seems to work again. Next time it happens, I'll try clearing the cache first.

There is no possibility to workaround. Games bought outside Google Play will be always marked but cannot be updated.

EDIT: Clearing the cache, data and force stopping hasn't helped the downloading issue.
EDIT 2: I installed Play Store v3.5.16 from here, and it seems to work fine now.

Thanks for the link,just install it and can confirm it worked for me.

Known Issue
Yeah - that's one of the known issues on CM9 Alpha unfortunately...
Very difficult to find an ICS ROM for the Desire S where everything "just works".

Thanks for the link, I had the same issue, but after I installed that, the issue is gone!

How to disable AT&T Adress Book???

Hello.
I rooted and installed official ICS android on my phone. My phone is originally Rogers, but the ICS version is AT&T. It's official but never release to public or whatever who knows.
So it came with all AT&T bloatware but I was able to disable all except one...
AT&T address book.
Everytime I open my phone contacts this stupid app opens first! It takes like 4 seconds to load then I have to hit OK before I can view my regular android contacts.
I go to apps but DISABLE is grayed out.
What can I do? I am rooted but this is grayed out? Makes no sense?

nobody knows how to do this???

get titanium back up since ur rooted you can go in and delete all the bloat ware

Well,, it depends on what the apps u want to delete. As long as they're not sync each other with your phone system, it's fine to delete them. But if you delete even a wrong single app, u could end up with spamming error messages, or the worst u have to change ur current ROM into a new one because of the damage. I suggest u to really really be careful and do it with some knowledges.. :beer:
