My sister has this phone and its pretty cool, still love my epic more though. ahem anyway. I've been part of the community at the Epic 4G for some years now and I have realized the importance of gathering the few devs you have and going towards a common goal, only then will you achieve more than what you've been able to do so far.
I see an unofficial CM7, unofficial CM9, and unofficial CM10 and unofficial CM10.1
My suggestion? Depreciate CM7 or finish that with your devs from their respective talent. If that gets depreciated/fails, you as devs of this community will learn from it and grow that much stronger/smarter from it.
Of course, from here I'd try to fix CM9, although, if it takes you more than 3 months to make it to stable, move on and depreciate it as well, you devs are more than capable and by no means should you feel this is under a time-constraint but set your volounteer goals and stick to it, or allow new devs to step in.
If CM9 proves to be a challenge, and you weren't able to progress much, might I suggest you make sure you've made the jump from the 2.6.7 kernel and move on to making yourselves the 3.x.x kernel? You'll be able to use it on ICS and it will prove helpful for Jelly bean 4.1.2/CM10..
CM10 will be yet again another task for you guys, although imo, crucial if you plan on fixing CM10.1
Again, this is just an observation and I did not research for the possibility that you guys may already have a mostly-working 3.x.x kernel. I sure wish I could help you guys, I know the brains that would assist, and I have the pc power to give it a shot, but yeah. I hope you guys have your testers giving you logcats.
Good luck guys!
GS4G Devs working on CM Builds, pm me what you're doing to help, what you guys are stuck on, and I'll forward it to the appropriate geniuses who have already dissolved those issues on different variants of your phone myself.
I wish nothing but the best to all of you, you have a sweet phone, and you all deserve official CM Support like the rest of us.

Note Bene: FYI, your Heimdall One-Click solution is useless on 64-Bit setups unless you go through the hassle of using Heimdall FrontEnd. Also, I suggest you update the stock tar of your latest GB Odin, while unreliable for some, we should not be left to dry with just a download link from the outdated multi-upload site. I had to dig deep to find an odin tar that worked for this.
Heimdall works perfectly on my 64bit windows 8. I know only on an Ubuntu issue.

No heimdal one clicks work fine on 64-bit ubuntu. Now with the updates ubuntu could have broken a function but 12.04 was working fine for me.
This post will be met with a lot of hostility, so be prepared. There is limited people working here since this isnt a very popular phone. Some people share everything while others keep everything they can to themselves. Its a good stepping stone phone and is capable of running JB. But there are plenty other devices with more developers and rom porters. Most people get this phone because its the best phone offered for the monthly 4G plans. Not sure what T-mo is offering now but a year ago this was the only phone with atleast a 4inch screen they offered for the monthly prepaid plans.

No dice on Windows 7 64-Bit. All proper drivers installed? Check. Brand New Cable used? Check. Odin (while rare) worked better for my new laptop. (All 3.0 ports) which may not be a factor, but yeah.

I see, and yes, its not meant to be taken as ordering around or anything, I'm just a bystander from a different section who has seen and closely followed progress of development and as I see how fragmented your android development section seems to be, it just seems like something to post as an observation. Mostly 2-3 people got our phone to official cm support status, so don't feel discouraged guys. Your devs could always reach out to the other dev community for direction, but anyway I hope you guys get official soon.

If you cant get it to work on windows7 64 look at lumin30s guide. He has a program that will remove any samasung drivers so you can install the ones from heimdal. It sounds like that is the problem. Also make sure you are not using the same port for heimdal as you did for odin.
Yeah... Heimdall works for me on 64-bit Windows 7 and Windows 8 both. So if it doesn't work for you, it's something on your setup, not an issue with Heimdall itself.
just so you know, use the usb ports on the back of the pc. the ones on the front have been known to cause problems and not recognizing the device. that is of course if you are trying to use the front ones.

It's got to be my setup then, although, just the fact that I had the samsung drivers, it being properly recognized, and then heimdall not recognizing it sure fooled me at who to blame.

Oh dear, I don't think I've used a desktop for programming/flashing (nothing wrong with that though). All of it on laptops.
By the by, it sure did seem easy to blame heimdall everything else checked out. Although I've already odin'd the T959V phone, I'll still check out the guide. I'll run some command lines and uninstall everything that has to do with android to see if that may allow Heimdall to recognize it in download mode.

Mine is on laptops as well. And note that with Heimdall, I believe it was supposed to be using the drivers from Heimdall (from zadig) rather than from Samsung. Believe I'm using the WinUSB driver type. Hope it helps. Also, remember to reboot after installing...

Explains why I figured front-end heimdall worked fine (usage of zadig) as opposed to the packaged version. Makes sense. New laptop so zadig was probably not a priority in my work apps. Lol thanks.

The SGS4G is a real finicky phone things that work for other samsung phones just fail on it. Most of the time it is a driver issue. And for a select few they just cant use heimdall.

Again my response above the SGS4G is a real finicky phone. I even think AdamOutler mentioned it in one of his posts/videos at how super finicky it is. I know I avoided it for so long because the first couple times I tried it it would fail. Ive helped a couple people that just could not get it to work on their laptop. Most people that have issues are using laptops and for some reason there is nothing that can be done to get it working. You might fall into that category for this device.

Is there any way to get it other than using lg updater? I have to try to get gps working, its driving me nuts.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Nope
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
The LG updater is a poorly written piece of crap, but it worked for me. And honestly it also worked for most around here that have used it. I know there are some people that have had problems and I don't want marginalize them but it is what it is.
I simply followed the instructions and it worked like a charm on the first try. There are multiple posts on this board stating that the updater will only work correctly when used with Windows XP, but I had complete success using it on an HP i5 lapptop running a clean install of Win 7 Enterprise 64bit. Of course if you are running a Mac then I don't think anyone can help you
Removing the LG software from your PC once it is no longer needed is another story altogether... hot damn if they don't need to be taught a lesson, but that horse is barely breathing.
If you are the kind of person that is uncomfortable installing drivers and the like on your PC then I can understand your reluctance to dive into this process. Unfortunately your phone is not going to get the new (and improved) baseband unless someone plugs into a USB port and runs the updater.
You're about 3000 miles away from me so there is little chance we're going to find a USB cable long enough to use my with computer and your phone. Perhaps you can find someone with a suitable computer and skill set near you.
Figured I don't know any other way to ask, but is there any possibility of a one-click root application for the HTC Inspire 4G? Being a Samsung Captivate user, I pretty much just used Odin OneClick for my phone and rooted it with ease, then put Miui 1.11.11 on my phone a little while after, and have been absolutely amazed by what my phone was capable of. Now a friend of mine wanted to root his phone and see if we could do the same, and I found that Miui is available for the HTC Inspire, but I don't really see much organization to the forums and haven't figured out how to flash it, or even root it for that matter.
Any suggestions?
P.S., his phone is currently on stock 2.3.3, HTC Sense 2.1, if that makes any difference.
AAHK is the only rooting game in town unless you want to do it all manually. It's as close to one-click as you're going to get for your stock 2.3.3.

Really no organization? The hack kit and stickies in each forum helps you easily navigate where you want to be. I hear searching is a great way to start . As Gene said, the hack kit is the only game in town. Seeing how you're no stranger to the root business, I still recommend (since I can't demand you to haha) to read the entire OP, the effen manual that is included and do some more searching before you attempt this. While Attn1 has done great work to make this pretty easy, it's far from a real one click like you're use to on the Cappy and should be taken a little more seriously. A lot of the issues people have when rooting the inspire stem from not reading for comprehension. If you do read for comprehension, you'll have no problem man! good luck!!

O I so agree with you and PG!
The Hack Kit is so easy to use as long as you read. We already see so many threads open up with people complaining because they are stuck. They blame the Hack Kit but in reality it is their laziness. Imagine if everyone of those people had to use Ubuntu or the Ubuntu live cd? Yeah we would see so many more useless threads open up with people trying to root the phone when they can barely turn on the computer.
I got your 10 char right here
And after you read the effen manual, do yourself a favor and read it again.

Yeah, I checked up on that, but I'm a little skeptical for only one reason. It seems like it's something I could probably figure out for him, but just to make sure, there's no "must" to having the ADB SDK or whatever installed, right? Because there've been a few mods or tweaks to the Captivate that required ADB to work, and my phone never showed up when using "adb devices" no matter what. I had no issues doing any other mods on my phone (and am currently using Miui 1.11.11 for it, although I probably should flash to one of the newer fixes), but ADB simply refuses to ever detect my phone.

Yeah. I read up on a lot of the posts, but it does feel significantly unorganized in comparison to the Captivate boards. I'unno, it may be because the Captivate is part of the Galaxy S series, which makes it a very popular phone for mods/tweaks, but I was able to find numerous ROMs for it and how to tweak everything, even skins on Swype, all within seconds. Here, I was like "...er, where's the thread explaining how to root your phone?" until I realized the only way to root it involves actually flashing a ROM in the first place, which I found a little awkward. But I guess HTC has it's limitations.

I actually have a physical copy of both Ubuntu and Kubuntu CD's, but I personally don't find that worth the hassle. I rarely restart my computer because I leave a lot of my IM clients, Steam, uTorrent, and other sorts of programs running in the background overnight, and there's no logic for me personally using an operating system I seldom use just for rooting process. It'd be frustrating for me. I know enough about Ubuntu to navigate, but I never understood the terminal, so I gave up on the OS.

Haha, yeah. That's where you don't have to worry. Unlike a lot of stubborn kiddies who think they know what they're doing before they even read the manual, then come here to complain, I'm the type to thoroughly read over instructions time and time again just to make sure I have it all figured out before I ever do anything. That way I know I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to do, how I'm supposed to do it.
In the long run, there's a good chance I may not do it at all. While he does want his phone to run better, I don't feel comfortable potentially jeopardizing his phone's ability to even be used in case I do manage to do something wrong. Not to mention that Titanium Backup requires root to even work, and rooting the phone apparently involves flashing a ROM which would wipe out all the apps, so he'd have to reinstall every single app. It's just a little more of a hassle than I personally feel comfortable with, since it's not my device. But I definitely appreciate all the responses, and I'll definitely look over all the details and let him know what he'd need to do if he wants to work it over himself.
Once again, thanks for all the replies. I'm glad to see XDA is a mature, respectable community. Definitely brings a smile to my face to see a forum where I can actually get straight answers to a simple question.
On a captivate, windows won't see your phone in adb, unless you have the nexus s drivers installed. My windows computer wouldn't see My captivate on MIUI, but my Linux partition would.
Use the Ubuntu method.it's a lot easier than everything you have to do in windows. And drivers aren't a problem.

Not gonna quote it all, but the new hack kit doesn't require you to flash a rom anymore. It leaves your phone in the state it was before you ran it, only rooted and s-off.

I'm not new to android whatsoever.. I've just returned from an Iphone 4s cause i was missing the openess of android. Now.. i've pulled out my old Nexus S 4g, Updated it to 4.0.4 and i cant get it to connect to my computer for the life of me! tried 4 different cables, 5 different computers, every driver i could find and nothing. I've come to believe this is a software failure... All i need is root and i will be able to sleep at night. Could someone package up .zip to give root and twrp recovery that i could flash through stock recovery? I dont know else i could do to get root... but this problem is becoming quite annoying.
1. There is no way to package a zip to flash through stock recovery since it would have to be signed.
2.For someone who is "not new to android whatsoever" making 2 threads about the same topic 2 minutes apart isn't exactly acting the part.
Try this guide.
Actually you're wrong, On the Epic 4G someone did in fact manage to do so. And yeah since i'm not new to these forums i understand that stuff like this gets overlooked so i made two posts. Cry me a river.
BTW Thanks harb... but that would involve being able to connect to my PC. Which just is not possible right now.
Thats the Android Karma... it happens but a little advice.
If you can't connect to the computer then it might a hardware issue not software.
If getting root was that easy that you just had to flash a zip on stock then everyone would be doing it. And good luck getting root without unlocking your bootloader first. Not to be rude but the problem could possibly be between the computer and the chair.

Bro... Chill... They're just trying to help you out. There is NO way to to root your NS without a computer (currently. We are not Epic 4G owners here). You said you didn't use your NS since GB, SO during the time in between something could have happened to the hardware. Don't rule that out just yet. Your drivers might also be bad. Is this what migrating to iOS does to people? Makes them snobby and demand fixes to problems they can't figure out on their own? Don't hate on the XDA forums. If we're not helping you "hit the thanks button anyways, you ungrateful bastard" (XDA into video ). Anywho. Chill. Keep trying.

I am chill, i am just trying to describe what I've already done so maybe someone could suggest something else. And no what i meant is i downloaded the OTA on my computer than transferred it onto my Nexus through USB mount a couple of days ago so i know its not a hardware issue. Im not demanding fixes, just trying to see if anyone has done been able to figure this out yet as i know im not the only one with this issue. And there is a big problem w/ people on the XDA forums as a whole.. i am a little frustrated and just dont like when someone is telling me is a User issue when i have tried everything conceivable and know what i am doing.. Sorry if this offended you. and IOS is a good device.. its just like.. NWO they want to control everything haha. I'd rather be part of the rebel faction. even though i love my ipad XD
There is currently no way to root 4.0.4 without an unlocked bootloader (and no custom recovery), and the only way to get an unlocked bootloader is to either have root or plug it into the PC and unlock via fastboot. As such, you are stuck with sorting out drivers - despite how annoying they are.
The video i linked to above describes in detail (and through video) exactly how to sort out NS drivers on Windows machines as well as the required fastboot commands to get a custom recovery.

Yes that is a good video, and does a job well done in describing on how to install drivers. My main issue is that my Computer(s) are'nt recognized my device at all... It doesn't show up as android device, or nexus s... but Unknown device. If i could figure this out i believe i could handle the rest.

Pretty sure that video describes that. You need to open up device manager, double click unknown device (while device is in fastboot), hit update driver and navigate to the provided drivers on the site. Watch it a few times, you'll figure it out.

thanks everyone, , but like i said i tried pretty much every driver you can find online. they will not install as my device comes up as "Unknown", i've literally tried every piece of literature on the web relating to this issue... at this point i'm just going to wait for the JB update and see what happens.

So the ICS update makes you unable to boot to fastboot and makes your device unable to be recognized by your computer from there?
That's a new one. As far as I know, "Unknown device" is actually your device being recognized, just the driver doesn't get installed correctly.
Have you tried manually specifying which driver to install and selecting the PDA Net driver? Look at Harbb's last post.
Have you went as far as editing the drivers inf to match your hardware ID? I know I had to do that way back when the PDA net drivers weren't even available.
'til then, user error.

Epic 4G could do this in FROYO... It was patched by google in 2.3+. Do you want an app to secretly root you and install malware?

Well it is going to be basically one of two things.
1. Is user error of some sort. That is what people have been trying to help with.
2. Is hardware issue that no one can help you with of course. Or some software issue causing it to not show up for who knows what reason. Neither of which folks can help with since a computer is not seeing it. So they revert back to what they can. Point 1
When you asked a question like is there a zip that you can flash in stock recovery to give you root or custom recovery that also doesn't help your cause for people assuming user error.
The one other thing you can try is download mode and Odin.

Cool. Trash your Nexus S, clearly broken.
Edit: That's nice of you albundy, but Mr grumpySasquatch (fitting name eh?) has tried everything, including modding the drivers inf. His Nexus S is broken beyond repair, also the first one we've ever seen that won't adb but works fine for USB mounting. *chuckle*
So I'm rooted, bootloader unlocked, and running the latest Synergy nightly (r46). I, and most of my friends, all have Mac computers (gasp! I know...), but for the next day or so I'm at my parents' house, where I'll have access to a PC. I've already backed up my NV/IMEI data, that was the first thing I wanted to do. My question is, is there anything else, PC-specific that I should do while I'm here? Is it worth updating the baseband or anything like that? I know anything Odin related will need to be done on a PC. I don't have any GPS issues that plague some people on custom ROMs. Anyway, just wondering if there is anything I should take advantage of while I'm around a PC. TIA!

To answer your question, if you already have your status info backed up as you say, then radio upgrade is the only thing I can think of.
You need to ge tyourself a dual boot computer not to worry about this issue. Dump the Mac, supporting Apple is supporting terrorism.
Take one of your old computers (doesn't everyone have one?) with windows XP or any other windows. If you don't have one, spend $200 to get a nice refurbished laptop from Dell Ebay store
http://stores.ebay.com/Dell-Financial/_i.html?_fsub=3&_sc=1&_sop=1
Once you have it, Install Ubuntu side by side the windows OS. Use crappy Windows for ODIN only work, and Ubuntu for everything else. Become a superstar

There isn't a thread for this for our phone, so I thought I would make one seeing as i've tried it. A program called mobile odin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&feature=nav_result Will allow you to run odin from your device without connecting it to your computer. Its super simple to use and it works pretty well. My charging port is hosed so I can't connect it anyways. I was on ICS and needed to go back to GB. Had to use this app and got back on GB no problem. I don't see a free version of the app anywhere so depending on how much you use odin, 5 bucks might be a good investment.
Hmm I ran the program and sent the logs a few months ago and never heard anything back to get our device supported and still doesn't say it supports this device.
It takes 30 minutes to run the system dump to find out our device isn't compatible......after running the dump....and to find out it wouldn't work
Its not worth the hassle when you've only got 15 minutes to get the refund.
I'd like to see screenshots or something to show that this actually does officially work on our device ....considering its not on the list of compatible devices.
Thanks
I guess after 2 days without a response ....there's not going to be one?
To bad I was hoping that it was going to be worth the money
Too bad I'm stuck on ics as well got excited when I started reading this thread.

??? Anything???
Or is this just a bogus post....and in the wrong section....should have went in themes and apps
A search would show that XDA members gets a lite version as with lots of other apps for free.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899
Ive run it.....it generates a dump file (mobileodin.txt) that you send in and hope that he incorperates your device in the next update .....and since it does this ...it basically is not suported as of yet.
So the op is saying it works.....but in fact it doesnt.
I would like to see some evidence that it works for him and like to know how it does on his device and not on mine.
Also with the lite version you have to dl a flash kernal specific to your device from that same thread....but since our device is not suported...you wont find one.
Y'all should do alot more reading before posting links to something that doesnt suport our device.
i did read that thread thuroughly....very thuroughly,even flashed a few flash kernals he added that were for the other models similar to ours in great hopes of getting this to work.
This is what you get....it does take about 30 minutes to generate the text file to send in
Oh magda623....are you there?
we are awaiting your reply.
Im sure there is hundreds of us that would like to have this running on our phones...please let us know how to make it work.
Ok ok i give up on magda to humor us on how it works on his device.
I urge everyone to use the link a couple posts up and dl the mobile odin lite,run it and send your mobileodin.txt to chainfire and plead with him to include our device....im sure he will eventually get our message.....after all he does say he is only working on samsung devices at this time.
****wouldnt it be awsome to flash back and forth from mtd to bml roms without ever having hook up to your comp!!!****
Lol am i seriously the only one that finds this to be something that would make life amazing on the sgs4g?
new ealsjur
Mobile ODIN did not recognize the device when I was on CM9
Something about flashing the phone from the phones makes me uneasy. What if you need to repartition using a pit or something, while the phone is on and in use.
Btw short I sent a dump file a long time ago and have been retrying ever since with no luck so far, maybe I'll make another dump today after work

I've stayed out of this one for just that reason. It's bad enough to be messing with the underpinnings of an OS when you don't have true single-user mode, a "safe" boot, kernel, and emergency filesystem available, nor alternate boot media if things go really bad. Doing all that from user-land while the system is running all services sounds like just asking for trouble.
You can do most of what you are asking for in Recovery
Flash kernel/boot/recovery
Flash /system
Flash other run-time partitions
Flash modem
If you can't get into recovery, are you really able to run some Android program?
I'm not really seeing the need for this, except for people who have broken their USB connector and can't connect to a computer. Even then, when would you need ODIN? When things are so hozed up you need to start from scratch, yes, but if you have a broken USB, what are you doing flashing risky things?
If someone can show what this would do that you can't do in recovery, as well as a meaningful use case for it, I'll mull over how to do it. Basically, if an app can do it, a script in recovery sure should be able to as well.
I tend to think the reason we dont have support is because of the quirkiness of this phone.
I agree eollie ....I gave up on this a while ago...really it doesn't matter to me anyhow....I mostly thought it was a great idea.
I don't tend to have issues with flashing...or recovering.
And even if I did....I wouldn't be dumb enough to post here lmao.
