Hey,
I have a question, I been searching this forum on how to root the htc inspire 4g, but here is my problem. I know I need the ace kit hack, and a ROM i chose to use the cm jellytime. But, when i popped in the phone switched it to debud mode USB, opened the cmd hack it said something about enter in a passkey, then read the effen manual. I did READ the effen manual. I downloaded the htc sync application, was that my htc inspire 4g drviers? Any help would be appreciate, thank you guys.
Are you asking where to get the pass key? Or the drivers? Either way, instructions are in the manual.

You read the manual but not for comprehension...all you are asking is in there. make sure that you understand what you are about to do before messing the phone.

I think the safest route is via aahk. It's tried and true. You will definitely take more risk with any other method and most just don't work and require more time in fixing it so you can then use aahk.

No. unrevoked does not support your device. Why try to mess the phone when you can simply do it using the right tool? Just because of a 2 pages manual? then you should stay stock or your next post will be..."...I messed my phone and I am stucked..."

I have looked through various threads and forums but i couldn't find anything that would help me with my issues. I recently bought a htc inspire and after a couple of days my friend convinced me to root it. I followed the steps using this [DEV][GUI][RC2][GPL][3-21-2011] HTC Inspire 4G Simple One Click - xda-developers root. All was going well till i powered it up,after following the specific examples shown in the video and directions. I had no superuser app and my "root access was denied" and i have no sound (i know it says that you have to flash that).However i did get S-on to change to S-off. I tried to root it one more time with the same process and didnt work out again i opened terminal emulator and typed /data/local/temp/rage but got "not found". Could someone please assist me into how to complete the root and get sound. Thank you very much!!
Try and use the hack kit.

If you are waiting for a solution which does not require the use of a computer, you will likely never see one. I would guess that even the "official" unlock coming from HTC will still be done via a computer.

Any info on this ? did HTC announce some rooting patch coming up ?
I s-off and rooted my HTC Aria (2.2.2 hboot 1.02) using revolution (straight foward), but from what I read here so far doign the same on ym wife Inspire 4G would require a rom wipe out loosing all my data (still on 2.2.1 but hopeing to get GB soon when ATT pushes it as again installing of HTC site warn about erasing personal data), which I don't want to do... don't know how to back it all up before (only contacts are saved to Outlook on PC).

Jump onto #liberatedAria IRC channel tomorrow and I bet ATTN1 will let you test his new hack kit that won't mess up your data ("hack kit lite"). I've run it myself and it's pretty slick. I think it's only for linux at present.

I did but unfortunately the script left my wife's Inspire unsuable - wouldn't boot up even in recovery mode! that was an Inspire with 2.3.3 (OTA update from ATT from the stock 2.2.1) HBOOT 0.85.0024 S-ON, on win7.
First time I ran it, it partially worked and installed CW 4.0.x for recovery so I was able to do a full backup but no root and no S-OFF, but ran normally otherwise (with all info intact)... second time I ran it again (to get s-off), it failed after unloading a new radio and from there on would not boot/recovery at all - black screen after logo. I freaked out. Must have been a bad day for attn1 as he kicked me out of the chat room twice (loosing all usefull info in the chat above ) even when I first came in before I started.
Eventually I was able to restore it back to HTC official 2.3.3 RUU .exe using the fastboot mode, and restore most of my info back. I couldn't get 2.2.1 RUU to install (got from somewhere here) as I was trying to see if maybe the hack only worked with that previous rev.
Guess I'll be waiting for the official release and the bugs to be worked out for Windows...
So there is no way to do this on a PPC Mac? And why doesn't it work on a PPC Mac?

You need an upgrade in the pc area.
The old power macs are just too outdated. Writing software for an old closed system like yours would be pointless and a waste of time. Even though you run osx I'm pretty sure its a special flavor of osx, because they where using 64 bit IBM processors at the time.

As the title implies, wondering if any of the temp root methods work with the latest OTA update? I know I could go permanent, but I usually only reboot 1 time a week and I don't mind stock right now. I really just want to use Titanium and freeze some apps.
Thanks

You would have to start by using the HTC Unlock Bootloader process at http://htcdev.com.
Once you have HTC unlocked, then you can install ClockworkMod recovery and then flash and install the su_2.3.63.zip to root your ROM.

Yeah, and I was mostly wondering about temp rooting first. I am trying to steer clear from CWM for a bit as it seems there are issues with phone charging. Temp root would be great as I really only reboot 1 or 2 times a week.

It works with 2.3.4.
BUT not my Sensation w OTA 2.3.4
I am somewhere around a noob or a noob=, but I have tried so many times to root my Sensation and no joy. I have downloaded the Revolutionary "ui" and I only get a brief flash on the cmd window.
I have read that I need to do this 2 or 3 times to get it to work, is this true? Do I need instead to place the revolutionary code at top of the SD mem card? I also previously ran the SDK and got all the way to the congratulations step but nothing else was said to perform, am I lost or did I move to noob- from noob+?
I have a TMO USA Sensation with OTA 2.3.4 and HTC unlock code installed, HELP!

@Chh, use HTC sync on your phone when you plug the usb cable to pc, run Revelutiinary.exe as administrator, it should work. If you're on Windows 7 you may need to reinstall the drivers and run in compatibility mode XP with service pack 2. I had a few hiccups while rooting two different Sensations and this method worked for me. Hope this helps.

The latest OTA update for 2.3.4 has a new hboot version and Revolutionary does not work with this version because HTC has closed the previous root exploit. That is what the OP has been asking about all along.

Yes x2
The tool works with the latest hboot 1.18.0000, but as per my post above you may need to run the tool 2 or 3 times before it works. You will get an error about a comms error and to go get some lemonade. Just reboot phone and rerun the tool.

Rhiannon, wow you are right about the Windows 7 shoulld be run in XP comp mode. I made all the progress in the world even being asked to enter my beta key, however it was rejected (several times). So I will do a fresh download of "revolutionary.io" and unzip it do the XP comp & admin properties hopefully they (the people who make revolutionary.io) are doing some kind of timestamp checking because I entered without any errors the key. If that doesn't work don't know where to turn. Oh by the way I am using a TMO USA OTA 2.3.4 update and the phone has the TMO unlocked bootloader. Yes I installed the new HTCdriver files 3.x x x something, too and removed the HTC Sync.
Now what?
Permanent root does work with revolutionary with an OTA 2.3.4 updated phone. I did it
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I'm a noob. I followed the guide and rooted a 2.3.4 phone with Revolutionary just like everyone else. No issues. Phone is running great.
One thing that wasn't clear to me however, was that you need to put the files on the SD card as a zip file. I was being a bit over helpful and extracting them first. Didn't work until I figured that out.
@cch copy and paste the beta key, it's case sensitive, do this by copying the beta key then in the Revelutionary command window, at the top left hand corner right click and choose paste, the other steps I gave you were working so your entering the key wrong. That's the only thing it could be, it took me a Fe times to enter it correctly. Also, Revelutionary will boot into fastboot and it will loose communication, you will have to do it 3 times and then banjo, s off. I hope it works for you. These are they exact steps, it worked for me on two different phones, also the Revolutionary site confirms it is working on the t mouse 2.3.4 update, I had the same ROM as you.
Glad if i helped. Hit my thanks button. Thanks.

Can't find anything, huh?! Did you try looking in the development section? There are no one click apps for the sensation. I suggest you read the stickied threads at the top of the development forum. Long and short there is no permanent root without s-off, only temp root.
Go to the dev area like the guy said, read through the one sticky....you should be then be able to do the whole shooting match...mine runs cm7. Definately the best phone I've had yet

Read the wiki and directions carefully. There are threads here for step by step directions. Just search for them.
Do I absolutely have to have the SDK and adb to s-off my phone? I know it sounds dumb, but the only reason I ask is cause I came from the Samsung vibrant forums and I rooted and flashed my vibrant without the need of ANY computer software. All from my phone. I really want to s off my phone,but the instructions are kinda flaky. Good, but flaky. Thank you.

Hi,
The instructions in the s-off guide in my signature are easy to follow.
Using ADB and SDK are really not difficult.
And installing them will help later on when you want to change your radio.
Yes they are needed.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
No, you don't need them.
You can S-OFF your phone using the revolutionary hack. You'll still need a PC with the HTC Sync software installed (ie, the drivers for the phone).
Have a look on http://revolutionary.io/ for tools and instructions.
That said, you might want to look into getting the SDK and ADB later on, if you plan to continue learning about what you can do with this device.
