Hello,
I am having an AT&T Inspire 4G but the SD card and camera is not working.
This is an Inspire 4G motherboard that was used to replace what was an HTC desire Hd before the phone stopped working.
I have sent back the phone to the agent but nothing could be done.
From the forum i have been to, installing a custom rom may help resolve the SD card and camera issue and i want to give it a try.
However, the issue is how to root the device without a working SD Card
If anyone know how i can do this, kindly let me know.
Thank you.

Unfortunately you need an SD card. Why exactly was a inspire board put into a desire. Just curious as the other hardware in phone is not compatible with the board.

Thanks Gizmoe,
what happened was that when my desire hd stopped coming up, i sent it for repair but when the fone came back, i can only see Inspire 4g when i check the settings for the device.

If it were me I would make them fix it. That's pretty messed up that they put the wrong parts in. They are just trying to brush you off by saying nothing can be done. Putting the right board in is what can be done, which should have been done in the first place. You can't even flash a stock ruu or do any updates without an SD card. Not to mention other stuff not working. Also your radio frequencies are controlled by the radio hardware, so you might not be able to use 3g either.

Hi,
using MIUI rom right now, and I noticed that copying data from PC to phone is slow as hell (200KiB/s). It was OK while using the stock HTC rom. However when I go to the recovery and mount sdcard, transfer speed is relatively good (4MiB/s-10MiB/s). Does anybody know if it is a ROM related problem, because nobody from MIUI has posted similar issue.
Thanks for any tip or advice.
What is the sd card cache size on miui? Stock htc rom it was limited to a poxy 128k! I use this app to bump it to 2048k.....

Most custom roms have had this tweak as standard for a while, and I've not heard of any issues with cooked SD cards. My class 6 SD card can be written to at 6MB/sec, so I shouldn't expect a cache of 2MB to push it too far. I've had the same 16GB card for 2 years on custom roms with this fix. No problems here.
I'd say make sure you don't have the cache any larger than your SD card class. For example, if you have a generic class 2 card, I'd perhaps only raise the cache to 1024k. That's still 8 times better than stock!
Use an app called "SD Tools" on the marketplace to run a 'before' and 'after' speed test.

No, it doesn't help. It's still the same.
I'm afraid that I can't remember where I've read this, but I believe that I've previously read somewhere in the forum that this is kernel related.
So possibly try stock kernel and try again.
I am experiencing random reboots with my Inspire 4G. My phone will reboot regardless if you are using it or not.The reboots can be as far apart as a couple of days or as frequent as 4 times a day. I am running a stock Gingerbread OS.(AT&T) The phone is not rooted. The phone is as stock as possible. The only apps on the phone are the ones that are pre-loaded by AT&T. I have changed the battery with a new OEM HTC battery. I replaced the SD card. I have also replaced the battery door.
I 've been reading related posts but most of them don't apply to me since my phone is not rooted or using a cooked ROM
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Ok, I had this same problem. What you need to do is root your phone with ace hack kit, then install the Rom Virtuous Affinity. (and don't install taptap revenge 4, my phone rebooted all day)

OK the best advice would be to go back to at&t and have them check the phone with the possibility of getting another one if they can't fix it. Makes no sense rooting the phone when you have issues with it unrooted. Hate to have you root it only to find out that not even a custom rom resolves your issue. At least now your still under warranty if you root you lose your warranty and at&t will blame you for the issue cause you rooted phone.

The rooting process does not affect the phone in such a way that the rebooting will occur. Try wiping the battery contacts or just take it to AT&T for control....if you have a hardware issue, then it won´t be solved by a custom rom...
alright i need some help i currently bought the htc inspire for att and i rooted it and unlocked it fot tmobile its running the stock rom for the htc inspire alright now to the nitty gritty i can call and recieve voice calls i cand view and send textmessages anywhere i go but i cant connect to 4g data anywhere i can connect to wifi no problem but i cant connect to cell phone data idk y can someone help me please im confused im a noob and i have no idea wat to do
What tool did you use to root?
Check your apn settings.
Edit: inspire is a at&t phone. Tmobile uses different bands. You will only get 2g on tmobile using the inspire. Its a hardware thing.

ty very much i figured it out now i would like ur help on another issue i would like to know how u install MUIU rom on the htc inspire i read other threads on them but i dont really understand the i need it dumbed down a lil lol and i dont want to use rom manager cuz last time i used it it hard bricked my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29392484
Sent from a dream.
Just go to rom Dev forum and see what their instructions are to flash. We don't use rom manager anymore we all use 4ext recovery which is usually installed when we flash custom rom. You can place rom zip on root of ad card (not in any folder). Power up into hboot with power button and volume down at same time then enter recovery that way full wipe and flash. Or see if you have the option of booting into recovery when you press power button to shut down. Rom has to be specifically for our phone do not just flash any rom if it ain't from here at Inspire 4G or DesireHD you will greatly regret flashing it.
Edit: we can also use DesireHD roms as well, there are some really good ones there as well. But remember DesireHD only.

Sprint's been doing something to the tower closest to my house and I've been permaroamig at my house going on 3 weeks now. Sprint told me it might be a while before they fix the problem. I've been missing calls and they only go through when I force my phone to roam. It sucks because it only happens at my house. lol its happening to my dad's completelt stock shift too so I know its not an issue with my phone. Both of our phones work fine as soon as we switch towers.

Before updating your radios do this:
1) Update profile, reboot phone.
2) Update PRL, reboot phone.
3) If you are not using cellular radio 1.08.01.0111 here is the link:

If your talking about the ones on THIS thread. There is a video in the OP on how to. But if you don't have time, or don't want watch ( although I would suggest you do ) , there are written instructions in the OP. It's always a good idea to read the OP a least once, just in case.

I was wondering can someone help me fix my SD and SIM problems. The phone wont read or even detect a network since the SIM and SD are not working. I followed the instructions here http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Galaxy+S+4G+Teardown/4977/1. But still to no avail. Can someone try and help me fix my Galaxy S 4G? Wifi and other features do work.
There are people having the same problems aswell. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s-4g/376857-sd-root-issues-galaxy-s-4g.html
I did star getting this issue after I re-flashed Cyanogen 9-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-Galaxy4gmtd 4.0.4 version
When I turn Debuggin on or off, it detects my phone but rapidly disappears.
