[Q] Rooting the Stock 2.3.3 Rom

Hey all,
I just bought an Inspire today and am very satisfied with it so far, but I would love to know if there is any way to root the stock 2.3.3 Rom that came with the phone. I didn't update it myself, it came pre-loaded with Gingerbread. I would like to root because I want to be able to get a Rom running that has Sense 3.0. Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I couldn't seem to find anything while sifting through plenty of threads...lol. Thanks again guys!

Awesome. Now to try and decipher all that technical mumbo jumbo...lol. do I need the android sdk installed and what not?

The instructions are there, just read and follow them you will be fine. Most questions are answerEd in the thread. Its pretty simple even though it seems overwelming.
I was really skerd when I started, but after doing it was I realized I stressed over nothing.
Good luck with it and enjoy.

To give you a simple answer, flash a custom Rom. If that Rom doesn't have the "H+" icon, that doesnt mean anything. You still have your "4G"

The only way thing you can do is try out different ROMs and different radio/RIL combos.

really? you were able to find the hack kit, root and s-off, but you dont know where to find the radio and rom threads in the same exact forum section the hack kit came from?
you should probably do some more reading. this isnt something you should be taking lightly.

Judging by your sig, you are on your phone. Get off the phone and go to the PC. Things are more hidden on the phone and the search function really sucks.

Go to the radio thread in the inspire 4g android development forum. Its a sticky so press the stickies tab on the app. You will find that radio thread and all the information is in there. Just read it.

read all this and u will figure out
Go through the guides on the index thread in the desire s development section.
Also read the tips on how to avoid bricking.
If done correctly, totally safe. Depends on your experience n patience too I guess. U haven't mentioned what version hboot etc you have which is the starting point.
Re your recovery thread, Google it or search xda, there's also a glossary...

Thx so much my hboot is 0.98.0002
Does revolutionary requires administrator to run? Cuz I don't hv the admin rights x( is there any method that I can bypass that? Sorry if this sound stupid
You will be fine with revolutionary,it's. What I used to do mine straight from virgin. it will S-off then drop the file you download from the site on the SD card and flash it to get root

DHD has the same screen resolution so there shouldnt be a resizing issue.

Thanks for the clarifacation,i thought that the dhd had a bigger screen then ours,and in result of that i was under the impression that it might need to be re-sized!!

Yea. I think the big issue is the kernel. I know I've tried to flash LC's sense kernels before with no luck. His aosp ones work fine. It's a crappy time for us since we have no kernel devs anymore.

we still got GazaIan
yeah, that was my original problem.. one of the reasons i gave up even asking the dev to port this...
if we had a Sense ICS Kernel i would've kept bugging him till he gave in
Yeah it's a no go..without a proper kernel it won't even boot, and I don't have the slightest idea how to compile one yet..sorry peeps..but im not gonna give up on this just yet..just got alot of reading to do
