You need to read mudknot's stickied guide front to back several times. The best advice anyone can give you on it is read, read, read, and read some more. The process is not complicated, but is not easy by no means. It will happen if you read, be patient, don't rush, and follow the steps precisely.

There are two methods on how to root....there is the (Hack Kit)... And the (simple one click ) by bubby... I used the one click method... But read read read...

Read read read. Do more research, have a drink to calm the nerves, then use bubby's one click. Works perfectly! Then after that flash the Ninja rom in my sig.

Everyone is correct. Reading first will help things go a lot smoother. I would recommend attn1 hack kit. You have a lot of roms to choose from. Just take your time. If you really get stuck or don't understand then ask.

I agree. Read and one click

Oh thanks I rooted super easy ...what's the custom Rom that's is close to stock in look and feel

Search the Dec section for tcp.. stock..blowy removed. Sense and overclockable.. or if you ant also get gingerbeast or ninja. SOMe peeps. Like nihilism. It sucks tho. Lol

Root password?
Im trying to follow the Ace Hack Kit (v11), but when I try to run the hack-ace.sh code, it asks me for the root password, which I don't know and can;t find anywhere online. I feel like an idiot for asking, but what is it? Ive been searching for hours.
Im running OS X 10.6.6, and the phone is Kernel version 2.6.32.21-g6a5ff14 [email protected] #1, if that helps at all.
Im new to rooting, Ive been a Jailbreaker until I just switched to Android. I understand everything in the hack guide, just cant get past the simplest step it feels like. Someone help me out?
And sorry for putting this on someone else's thread... it wouldnt let me post an original for some reason.

Lol. Man the keyboard really had it in for you on that one.
I like "blowy" though. It's a refreshing change.

I have had two inspires and on my first one I used Bubby's rooting program only because it did not require the use of command prompt as much as the Hack kit did at the time, but on my second inspire I used the hack kit because that has truly been turned into a fool proof way of rooting and it seem's that bubby has abandoned his rooting program because it has not been updated for sometime. The hack kit does it all for you all you have to do is tell it what you want done by entering either a 1,2 or a 3 and it does the rest.
As for rom's I use the Coredroid because it is closer to the HTC stock sense and Surgio keeps up on the updates and the bugs also.

I'm on my first Android with the Inspire and rooted a few days ago using the hack kit... it was very simple and all went well. I've gone through a few roms already, probably didn't give each enough time but wanted to find something I liked and now ended up with GingerBeast. There is a problem with GPS though with Gingerbread but if you look for gingerbread gps fix it can be taken care of easily.

You should give each rom at least a week to see how it works, there is a wierd thing with rom's they need a couple of days to settle in to the phone and to see how the battery and everything else work with that certain rom, that is why I have chosen one rom and have stuck with it through two inspires, I have found coredroid to be the best rom for my purposes and none other fit the bill.

I am also new to Rooting of my inspire, but not a noob to android by anymeans. I searched and searched through and through the thread with the simple one click root. I understand what it is that i need to do.
But for the life of me, i cannot get the simple one click root application to download and install on my computer. I have my antivirus and all off, firewall turned off. I download the file, it starts extracting and unziping. Then it goes to installation. The green bar at the bottom gets up to about 90% full, then the entire screen just closes by itself and thats it.
Restarted my computer 4 times and tried it again 4 times last night with the same results. SO i guess my question is not going to be how to root, i think i got a grasp on that one, but can someone point me in the direction of a different link for the one click app or lend some advice of how i can get it installed.

I had the same problem with my old XP laptop. I studied for a month, was sure I had my PC set up correctly. And Bubby's just would not run on my PC. Ended up using the hack kit which worked. One thing they do say to make sure you have the latest .FrameworkNet and Java consoles installed, for something to check.

Thanks for the response. It is appreciated. I did do those updates amd still no luck. Guess its the hack kit for me.

You only need the first page - the rest is just random posts.
Google 'flash a custom ROM on Android' to get more info on the actual flashing procedure but I wouldn't do ANYTHING until you understand what it is you're doing

If you need to ask if you need to flash a certain rom then the answer is NO, you do not need to flash.
There's a learning curve on how to do it, and do it correctly, learning how to go back to stock, and also upkeep of the rom (flashing everytime it's updated)
What's wrong with your phone right now that you want to put a ROM?
Don't feel like you need to put a ROM just because other people are doing it.

Your rooted and S-off already right?

I flashed my tmobile to revolution hd the first day I got it. This site is really helpful with all its guides. I did the whole thing in less then 24 hours and before this phone I knew next to nothing about android an s-off etc. If you read the guides properly I dont think its possible for you to screw up.
P.S I use mine in Canada with mobilicity, but I am guessing u r with tmobile.

Have to ask, but why did you root your phone? Did you actually have a reason to or did you do cause everyone else did and it 'looked cool'?
I'm not having a go but rooting actually isn't needed. The Sensation out the box is a great handset. The ONLY reason I did was to remove the bloat I don't use (including most of HTC's widgets). If HTC were to release a phone that allowed this without root I'd have no reason to - even if I could

Im not going to lie but i did it cause everyone else was doing it and seemed like the thing to do... Since doing that I have actually learned a lot... Its the greatest thing when you can take a phone and COMPLETELY make it your own from the rom that you have on there to the splash screen and the boot and down animation... Knowing its there because thats what YOU want there not what HTC or your carrier wants there is the greatest gift... Its YOURS.

See, there you go. Not a good example for a 'should I root' question
Fair enough, you've learnt now but you'd look like a bit of a tit if you'd bricked your phone without knowing how to reverse it.
Word to the OP - READ EVERYTHING
Do not attempt to do anything until you know what you're doing. OK, there are some things you can only learn having done a few things but for the most part build up your confidence by understanding everything the guide(s) tell you

I agree with mr. burglar I did it because of all the modification options. I just like things different. If I could change the rom in my toaster I would.

Well I have had a fair amount of experience jailbreaking iphones... I know that its nothing like rooting a droid... I did not root blindly either... I came about doing myself cause I did some research I saw that the evo was being rooted and they said it was the same for the Sensation... I found a really great detailed video in two parts on you tube of how to do this step by step so there was going to be no error... Not only that there are lots of people on craigslist i could have paid to root... I took the chance... well no some a chance but I was certain that I would have no problems with doing this it was a 15 minute or so journey that came out just fine

I wanted to try flashing my Rom because I have read that after flashing with android revolution made their phone faster and battery last longer.

well cant argue against trimming the extra fat which is kinda slowing down the phone. Nothing like a lean mean calling machine.

Without root, you can't get rid of Sense. CM7 is so fast! Add a Faux kernel and see everyone else including the SGSII in the rearview mirror.

This was the video that i used to root my HTC Sensation... The video is for the Evo 3d but it also works for Sensation too... Watch first and decide wether or not you want to proceed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sw_mgVHWYo&feature=related

i rooted my phone just to get rid of the bloatware. i like play around with the stock rom first than move on to a custom rom.
if you are serious about rooting i sugest you read the guide several times before you continue. if you have any questions there are many here that will help you. i also like to add that it would be a good idea to check what rom you are using now and download the .ruu for it and keep it in a safe place. i have seen several questions here of someone trying to return their phone back to stock for warranty, exchange, or what ever reason they want to return back to stock but they dont know what rom they had before flashing. so download this ruu first before trying to flash a different rom. it will save you the hastle.

I figured that it may work with a vibrant ROM as I heard it works on the regular galaxy s, so I Odin back to stock, reinstalled Rom manager and flashed cm7 for the vibrant...now my phone won't even boot...what gives? Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? It's almost like Rom manager doesn't work on this phone or something. Someone should make a step by step guide for flashing this phone...you know, like an SGS4G Bible.

What consequences will have installing Rom Manager?
What if I installed it but didn't use it?
I'm experiencing a lot of crashes and reboots and maybe I've finally found the reason.

If you installed it and didn't use it, no problem.
If you used it to 'install', then you earned a one way trip to using Odin to get everything back.

Raver, if you don't mind could you please make the title have capital letters and not lowercase like it does. There is no reason for it other than everytime I open the forum, it bugs me. Also, what is up with the "bold" html command ""?

I wonder what goes through other peoples heads when they decide hey I'm going to root my phone and install a custom Rom. I mean the first thing I did was a Google search on how to root SGS4G. That lead me to XDA. Then I found the actual SGS4G forum and began searching for guides. This was the same process for my MT3G and my G1. I don't understand why people would just grab Rom manager and assume it's a cure all. Boggles the mind.

that works out fine if the first thing you get led to is xda, but if you are unlucky like me then you end up at joe schmoe's tech blog or something similar and they tell you that any android phone can be "hacked" with superoneclick and rom manager. thats where the true issue lies, imo: that not the sites state the same info and most of that is wrong.

Thanks raver!

+1 Sure there were multiple sites related to the subject, which is why you take a little bit of time to examine more than one. I know I didn't just click the first option and run with it.

This post got me thinking. We have the SGS4G Bible but apparently it can be a little overwhelming and too much information for some people to digest before they start modding their phones.
Keeping the biblical theme maybe a simplified "SGS4G TEN COMMANDMENTS" that contain the ten most common questions and answers, noob mistakes, and does and don'ts in one place. Simple, easy to read, and easy to refer people to. For example...
Commandment 1: DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER...EVER!
Commandment 2: DO NOT FLASH VIBRANT ROMS....EVER! - THE SGS4G IS NOT A VIBRANT!
etc, etc....you get the idea.
Any thoughts?

[Q] DO I need root?

Hello everybody.
I've reading the Infuse thread for some time now.
I saw some recurring themes that I would like to write about.
I came up with a survey that I think may be helpful.
(Try to see the humor in it.)
Here is the question: Do I need to root my phone; do I need a custom ROM?
Do you use your phone to make phone calls? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone for texting ? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone for light surfing? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone for simple games? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as a PDA? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as an alarm clock? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as a camcorder? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you use your phone as to take pictures? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your e-mail to work correctly? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your APN not be screwed up? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your bluetooth to work perfectly? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
Do you want your phone to work right out of the box? If yes then: No, you do not need to root.
However,
Are you a tinkerer? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Are you curious and want to learn? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you like boot loops? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you like to brick your phone? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you think you're a closet geek/nerd? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you have ADHD? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you have OCD? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you have a need for constant stimulation? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you like to frustrate yourself? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
do you want to be a dev? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you secretly want to be a top geek/nerd? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you want other geek/nerd to pay homage? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you not have a hot gf to play with? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get off of messing up a perfectly working phone to get a semi-functioning phone? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you find yourself stroking your phone calling it my precious? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get off on getting thanks from XDA members? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get off on getting your phone out of soft brick? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you get a chubby when you put your USB jig to get your phone out of boot loop? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Do you care if the display of the phone is a nansosecond faster than the way it is? If yes then: you need to root and load a custom ROM.
Are you a newbie that like to start a new thread about bricking your phone? Yes, you need to root and load a custom ROM.
In the process of coming up with this survey, I have concluded that it really doesn't make a whole lot of difference what phone model, what brand, what CPU or graphics or dual cores and what not...
It doesn't make a whole lot of difference if it's FROYO, GB, HC, ICS or FRIED DONUTS IN BUTTER AND LARD,
It's all about the addiction and the obsession.

This *****ing is seriously getting old...GTFO and quit bumping this thread if you don't want to see it, it's that simple...****in **** ppl

Hey, I really apologize if I had offended anybody.
Honestly.
Mea culpa.
That was never my intention to insult or offend anyone.
You guys are really taking this way too seriously.
I wrote it as an attempt at humor in the general section and the Q/A section...not in the DEV thread, out of respect.
As I was trying to help new users out, I was running into the same questions over and over again.
If some of these guys would just read a few pages instead of asking the same questions over and over again. If they had bothered to surfed through the threads, they could have seen it.
I wrote it as a tongue in cheek comment...poking fun of myself as I had tried to learn the android and custom rom process. I had soft bricked and boot looped my phone plenty of times. I got a usb jig. I had read up on acid, thunderbolt and adrenaline etc..and opened up roms to try to understand it as well. I was poking fun at myself in the process. Until this August, I owned a flip phone and thought it was the bomb.
If you can't really see the comment as a funny for what it is, I apologize. I mean it. Take it to heart and move on.....
anyway,
Have a Joyous Season with your family and friends...
fwiw, I will enjoy my infuse for the next two years...
running what ever rom that works...
and for the record..I REALLY do appreciate the works of all the "giants" that have contributed to this phone...you guys know who you are...THANKS.

That my friend was perfect.. honestly.. So true.. everything up there is just hilarious. I don't understand how you couldn't see the humor in it.. Getting off to the usb as you stick it in your phone.. I loved every minute of that (reading the post.... and maybe other undisclosed things I WILL NOT mention here..... ). Thank you for bringing some comic relief to the barrage of the same old questions getting asked 500 different times/ways in 800 threads. I wish that I had thought to make that first.

Cute. Nice humor. LQOTI (laughing quietly on the inside)

Pay you to root his phone!? How much is this individual paying? lol If you have to send someone your phone to root, you shouldn't be rooting in the first place...

Easy money with FROYO. Lost1 has a stickied post in the Q/A that will root and give you the unlock code also.
Maybe you can get some more cash for the unlock also bubba.
If he/she gives you a GB UCKK3 or later ...watchout. It can be a headache.

Agreed. I don't understand how you could just ship it off. I never would.

His is stock. I doubt it even got the ota update back around Nov. I kind of feel sorry for him . He said qb777 would do it for him, but he was looking for someone closer. No idea why distance matters. What should I charge?

Heh. I remember back in the day a buddy of mine used to take and jailbreak people's touches for ten bucks. Then, to make it so that they could actually use it with appulous or whatever it was called, he would charge an extra 5.. I think. So 15 bucks to jailbreak an iPod 2nd gen.. then eventually they got smart and realized that it was the easiest thing in the world..
And I'm sure that distance matters because he would get it back quicker.. No! You're not rooting my phone.. lol.... wow. Sad.

[Q] Unroot, Carrier patches, etc

I couldn't find anything based on an Unroot thread, as well as some generalized questions.
SOMETIMES, phone devs, and the carriers, put out patches that actually correct some ugly known issues. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if i root, i'm led to believe i can not download carrier patches and updates.
My concern is If I root and there's by chance some JESUS patch that is issued that corrects reception issues, power cycle, etc. Is there a way to unroot the device.
First post by the way, go easy.
Edit: OH also, I forgot to mention, from what im reading around 2.3.6 seems to be the current version out for at&t however i'm only on 2.3.5 i've tried pushing the update by checking through settings>updates. It's telling me however that there aren't any available? Or did they pull the update for some reason?

You can always restore the phone back to stock if you want to.

Be careful and read before you do anything to your phone.
If you're still not sure what to do, ask.
Asking a dumb question is better than having a bricked phone.

I'm thinking about throwing ICS on it, but it sounds unstable, any opinions?

Sky ice is an awesome rom its ics like but thats as close to ics your gonna get for now. Devs here are working on getting it for us but its a work in progress and you wont see anything out for it for a while. As stated above read read read before you do anything with your phone. I lurked here for a month before i did anything with mine.

Isn't that just a 2.3.5 build with a ICS-like skin over it?

Thank you again for your advice
I used this root method (zergrush), and it was very simple and straightforward.
