With or without htc sense ?

check off the i have radio s-off cause you did it in the first step as i showed you
then upgrade to gingerbread which has 2.1 sense ( so it does have the sense) here is the link:
http://jobdeal.org/gingerbread-2-3-3-rom-for-desire-hd-review/
if you are doing the RUU way you have to make a goldcard which is very easy, you download goldcard helper you grab the MMC2 not mmc0 or mmc1 then you download this on you computer: http://android.modaco.com/content/software/308798/pc-application-goldcardtool/
then when you upgrade to gingerbread you need to install gingerbreak to root it again cause your root is gone it might give you error message saying " hey something happend it might not been rooted restart the phone manually" restart it you should be rooted and all good to go here is the link to gingerbreak download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765

Don't try to follow the method provided by moh8021 as it will not work on your phone. Your phone is a chinese clone (MTK based smartphone), isn't it?
What do you really want to do?
yes it is,
i wanted to know if it was possible to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.3.x
and root.
Is it possible? If yes i need a step by step guide.
Mine is the asian clone and this way worked on mine, i bought it from hongkong when i was there

Yes, but your's original from HTC. The clone that adkonn is referring to is a chinese clone, based on MT6516 chip, totally different hardware.

Okay... I will not insist any more.
Go to this chinese forum and you'll know that there's no 2.3 ROM for your phone.
Hi guys,
I also have an A9191 china-phone with MTK CPU and would like to know if someone succedeed in flashing it with different cooked ROM (whatever it is 2.2 or alse)...
Thanks in advance for replaying
GUYS!!!
Newer phones with MTK6516 CPU running Android OS 2.3 are on the market so now it's reality!
But how we can performe the up-grade and most of all with which ROM?
Please who can help do it!
Thanks
First, please forgive my stupidity on a variety of levels as this is my first post and I recently came from the Jailbreaking scene of my iPhone 3GS but have very little knowledge in the Android area - which is why I came here.
I just purchased a used AT&T HTC Inspire 4G off eBay. I would like to root it and run the latest stable Ice Cream Sandwich custom ROM, and unlock if possible. Assuming it is running stock 2.3, I would like to root, unlock and flash a clean custom ROM onto it as soon as I receive it in the mail (2-3 days).
I HAVE searched online for tutorials, but have only found crappy, fuzzy, outdated Youtube videos by 12-year-olds, and therefore am not sure exactly what to do. So if I could get someone's professional guidance on how to root, unlock, flash, and what ROM to use, I will be eternally in your debt.
P.S. I'm not entirely new - I have flashed a number of Windows Mobile ROMs, done plenty of iOS hacking, flashed an Android tablet, and do plenty of dev-testing on my PSP.

Hey, check out attn1's root kit! Got my Inspire rooted in about 5 mins
Link is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
Also, there's an IRC channel that is listed in the thread if you need any help.
Donations are appreciated!
General premise is that you'll need to S-OFF (remove HTC NAND security), then root.
Removing the NAND is usually handled by an XTC Clip (hardware) or Revolutionary (software) method. Some others do exist, just look for the 'S-OFF' thread in the Inspire section to get you started.
Once that's complete, use either the rootkit mentioned above, or something like SuperOneClick to obtain actual root.
Good luck!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe attn1's root kit does everything for you including S-Off..
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have no doubt your are right my friend , I was just providing a little insight on why there's more than one step involved. I also ran into rooting issues using the Vivid toolkit, which were fixed with SuperOneClick.
That said, definitely try the rootkit first. They're a killer starting point
Just make sure you read the effin manual. If you don't, you won't be able to root it with the hack kit. And you won't get ANY help with it if you don't read the manual.

Just got the Inspire 10 minutes ago, so I assume go ahead and use the root kit? Then what would be the best ROM for Ice Cream Sandwich to install? Again, I know how to use Google, just want to have an expert opinion on it... Thanks!
Edit: Just ran the rootkit, and flashed ICS 4.0.3 onto it... Booting now!
There are many great ROMs that exist within the forums. I prefer cynagonmod but of course your mileage may vary.

I have reason to believe my phone is sufficiently bricked... I did follow the instructions in effin_manual, but something must have messed up. I can get to the boot menu (volume down+power) but anything beyond that crashes. Is there any way I can flash this back to stock and start over?
I found this, but the link is dead...

UPDATE: Flashed it back to stock 2.2. Before I do anything else, what is the most recent, stable UNLOCKABLE firmware available? Thanks so much!

First, If you have read the effen manual you would have known what to do in you case.
If your phone was shipped with Gingerbread and you flashed a froyo RUU you are in trouble...make sure that your cell is working properly before trying to flash a custom rom or you will get jammed. By the way, brick means that your phone is useless and were not bricked....the Hack Kit works beautifully as long as you follow instructions. Also, make sure that you are S-OFF and Rooted before attempting to flash a custom rom....
The phone was shipped with Froyo, and I just restored it back to that.
I had ICS 4.0.3 flashed, but the unlock was not compatible with it and I got a nice little message from AT&T about that. They haven't started charging me yet, but I would like to do something about it before they do.
So can ICS be unlocked at all? Or what is the most recent firmware that can be unlocked?

Don't understand what you mean here. How is an unlock uncompatible ?Charging you for what exactly?

I got a text from ATT this morning saying "Congratulations on your 4G smartphone! 4G data and message rates may apply." I checked online and it was still on my 200 MB iPhone plan, so hopefully it stays that way. My bad, just wanted to make sure it was unlocked.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA
Not sure why you would want to unlock an att phone to use on att.people unlock it to use on other carriers like say T-Mobile.
As to the text,since the inspire is an att phone they will recognize it and will change your data plan accordingly. There really isn't a way around that. I don't remember their being a 200mb iPhone plan but its been a while. But it might be as easy as giving them a call and switching it over and keeping the same plane just named differently.

Welcome to someone who has ATT and is just recalling his experience with it:
1) You can change your data plan up till the end of the billing cycle for that SAME cycle.
2) 200mb is the minimum data plan and you have to (in theory) be on a data plan to have a smartphone on their network.
Moving on to non-ATT stuff
3) You may want to do a little bit of reading and understand the difference between root and unlock.
4) I'll be nice and link a thread with that insight: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1076720
5) ... >.<
I got it working with my 200MB data plan and running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3. Thanks for all the help!

Hello,
I have HTC Inspire from AT&T. Have rooted and unlocked to 2.2.1. Now I would like to upgrade from 2.2.1 to 4. Can somebody help me How to upgrade Android HTC Inspire from 2.2.1 to 4?
- Raj
Check the link in my signature, Post#7 which contains basic info.
Basically read the op for each thread/rom to see what is required.
Download rom to sd card, reboot in recovery, perform a full wipe, flash the rom, reboot.
If you unlocked the bootloader using htc dev, that has a different flashing method. You'll get all that info from the guide glevitan wrote in my sig.

You should do some research before you post a new thread... There is so much info about what you asked, a simple search would have gotten you what you were looking for. Good luck with the process though!
Just some advice...
Please search the forums for threads, guides, tutorials, etc. before making a thread. Most of the time you can find your answer to your problem after searching the forums for a few minutes.
Try to find attn1's one click root kit and please read the manual.

I was thingking the C2 is HTC One SC.... my bad.... >.<;
Anyway I have made some research on how to upgrade my phone. From what I found there is something I cannot understand very well.
It is said that If I have upgrader my phone to 4.1.2 I cannot use superboot to root my phone. Only 4.0.x version could use superboot is that right?
Straight to the point. I have an HTC One M8 (Verizon) and it currently is running Android 6.0 with sense 7.0 / S-On / NON ROOTED
I wish to get rid of ALL Verizon Bloatware and stupid apps that come installed with it. And install the android marshmallow ROM that would come stock on a NON BRANDED M8
Could somebody please reply with a STEP BY STEP easy to follow set of instructions on what I need to do to achieve this.
like using Sunshine to get s-off and rooted. And links to an Official ROM and all that stuff.
And a question. . . . .Will my NON-VERIZON SIM still work after such a procedure? and will mobile data work (without configuring the GSM settings, which I had to do when I first got it)?
I am in New Zealand if that affects anything.
If somebody is willing to help me out I will be most thankful
LOL they're gonna just tell you to search and do some reading since everything you need is already on here.
