Please if its been posted,tell me where and ill read it but a quick search revealed nothing. I just picked up my inspire and when I check for HTC update it shows there is one. Do I need to update before rooting? Also what changes are there as far as any major steps to flashing a Rom. Like if I want inspired ace can I just root,flash recovery and install Rom? Or does the bootloaders need to be flashed before flashing a gingerbread Rom? Sorry for the 838393 million questions but I'm a long time Samsung user lol,I know my way around rooting and flashing but I know HTC phones can be a little different

No. You Do not need to update first.
Read the sticky at the top of the forum for the rest. There you will get only answers.

anyway, like he said do that .. as far as the update first or not:
you can flash whatever radio you want after you are done rooting; for me i rooted before the OTA, but for wifey we did the update first.. it doesn't matter, as the info will be destroyed during the root anyway.
you cannot OTA after root from what i gather, as i was never offered the update as i was rooted

Lol sorry for putting it like that. It's just sometimes someones question sounds like one that's been answered already,but they mean it in a different specific way. Here lately people have been a little rude about the whole "its been answered" but really I just have a hard time explaining exactly what I mean in text. I don't mind reading the stickies but sometimes it gets confusing if you are new to a device and don't know what stage the development is at lol. But thanks man,ill go read the stickies and if I have any problems ill just post back here lol. Appreciate the kind answer

Well don't take it to harshly most are just sarcastic. I mean I am just sarcastic.

What doesn't help is when you can't truly tell for sure if its a playful sarcasm or mean sarcasm. It sometimes is hard to tell considering we are talking to each other in text form. There have been some posts I've read, not by you, but others, that I couldnt particularly tell if they were being mean or just being a smart @ss just to mess with someone without offending. I just wanna say something to the ones who have meant there sarcasm in a mean way. My wife's cousin coined these 2 phrases, and I like using them a lot. "Can't we all just smoke a bong!" And, "Life's a ***** and then you die, f*** the world let's get high!" Lmao ;D

My favorite method is to apply the OTA and then use Gingerbreak. Chainfire is a fantastic developer and I used gingerbreak to install rom manager, flash CWM, and get your flashing on.

Gapps links not working for me.

Ive tried multiple links for Gapps, and none of them are working, I'm pretty sure they all point to the same page. does anyone have the latest one I need it for a rom I just flashed.
I have a G2X with an ICS rom,
Thanks Matt

The site is having a down time will be fixed soon

FYI...forum rules say to post questions in the Q&A forum. Some people will get upset and not explain it in a nice way.
Some devs post their own version. Double check the thread for your rom.

^^^+1
I think it belongs in QA

My apologies, I will remember that for the future. thank you for the response though, and yeah i downloaded the hellfire 4.0.4 and the link didnt work. I will just wait.

Lol. I mostly agree. If people use the tapatalk app, it never shows the sticky unless you actually click on the sticky menu...
There's no excuse for not reading the bold letter titled topic though..
But yes, there has been a recent growth of ignorant posts/topics.

So I post a thread about asking a question in this forum . And instead of getting help , I get opinions and a closed thread . Must feel like a big man closing threads on people who ask questions or ask for something that's not on here yet .
Awesome help . Thanks again .

Excuse me? Not to be "a big man" but what is your issue? I am not aware of the question you asked or where you asked it, but there is probably a good reason it was closed. Do us all a favor and stop before you say something you'll regret.

Not sure what happen in that post.
What you can do is flash cwm recovery, use the cwm backup of the 1.84.
Once done you can flash back TWRP recovery again and make a backup of your phone using TWRP recovery.
A little long process but should work since there's not a TWRP backup of 1.84.

This post certainly is inappropriate... but I do agree with OP
He asked a legit question in the right forum? What was the big deal???
Sorry I don't have a clean backup for u. Hopefully u find what u r looking for. Or, u can just flash ruu in bootloader as was suggested.

Okay I agree making a thread for getting no help or even an answer was pretty lame , your right . BUT it is the only way for people to see what is going on . I did ask a legit question in the right forum and I still get flamed by senior members in an absolutely inappropriate way . And thread closed before I can answer back . Now I call that freaking lame .
But on another note thank you to guys guys who actually took their time to answer the question . I appreciate it

I saw your post and didn't think it out of line, just had no nandroid
baseballfanz suggestion was way to go
flash cwr, install stock nandroid, flash twrp, back up--done in 10-15 minutes

Dont forget to fastboot boot recovery.img and flash the firmware pack available somewhere around here...updated radio, wifi, kernel and dsp images that won't flash with CWR.

cwr 5.8.3.1 is now available thru Rom Mgr if you don't have fastboot
nandroid will restore all but radio if you want a different radio then you have--that is true for cwr or twrp
so barring radio--which is a whole different set of procedures--it still should take only 15 minutes
less time than all these posts took--

First off, You did NOT post in the right section, you posted in General and you should have posted in Q&A.
Secondly this thread is useless and as such will be closed, however.....
Lastly, I don't know why exactly it was closed, but I will reopen the original thread and contact the mod that closed it to see what his reason was.

Ubuntu on the atrix 2?

Just wondering if anyone has gotten this going, or even made an attemp?
Cheers.

One line would have been simple enough to do so, but maybe you get payed per word.

OK good luck. You could just read a bit, since I have spent hours making a guide or two, many others such as Ronnie and redpoint have spent hours putting guides and grouping all the info here and Devs have spent countless hours creating roms and discovering root methods. You can take some time to read the information and attempt to understand. If something is unclear or you don't quite understand then you can ask questions and I'm sure many people will be glad to help!

it's not that no one here is willing to help you out, you just need to know what you're doing before you do anything because of the huge risks you take in the unlocking process. if you're not willing to put in the time to read about everything before you ask questions and ask for hand-holding, then you should reconsider unlocking.
Here's some material to start with
Sticky #3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232141 (pay attention to rule 1)
Sticky #4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1754018
The unlocking thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283760 - read this 5 times over before you actually do anything. and follow each instruction VERY carefully.
Once you're done unlocking: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2286587
Lastly, people are here to help each other, not babysit you through unlocking. If you ask nicely, someone may decide to help you through it. We've all put in hours into reading and researching and searching for answers. Work like this on a phone requires a base level of knowledge so you should strive to learn enough so that you're able to do what you need to in order to unlock your phone. Also, a post like this belongs in the Q&A subforum.
Good luck!
