[Q] SuperOneClick for the Htc Inspire 4G

I am new to this website, I wish to root my Htc Inspire 4g. I've heard of using SuperOneClickv1.5.5-ShortFuse.zip... would that work when My Android is running Froyo?

nope, use the guide that is stickied at the top of general as your reference.

But, it's very hard to understand that guide... (once again sorry for my noobish comments) Please explain it to me?

Both rooting methods are extremely watered down have you tried downloading either of them?
I am not trying to be rude, but if it is hard to understand, then I would recommend reading more before you root.

If you're unwilling to read, learn, read some more, research, read even more and try, then don't do it.

Not trying to pile on, but... Seriously?
There's nothing difficult about the guide. The rooting techniques have been simplified as much as possible, for this phone.
Customizing this phone is going to require a little bit of effort on your part, it's not going to root itself.

So I just select one guide from the rooting thread from mudknof*
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

yeah I know how you feel about rooting O/P but I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=961406 also androidcentral.com is another good site too if you have not been their already.
Also I would look into how to un-root the htc inspire just in case if you want to go back.
I had to watch the video a couple of times but it was not to bad but I do recommend this make sure your updated I know I had to do a wifi update then your good.
But if you have your phone all set up root will rest your phone all over again contacts will be their just if you added or did anything to it. It sucks it took me like 30 mins to set everything back up lol

Ok, I understand rooting gives you access and you have to downgrade your phone for rooting and then get a custom rom to pyt to a rooted current or future version. Am I right?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Well from what I read on roms, roms will give you customs look and some better features I have not added and Roms yet really just wanted to remove bloatware Im still reading about Roms and how to install them...Also I was just reading through the steps about rooting I think by far bubbys root is the easiest way to root.
lol I ask a lot of ?s ha http://forum.androidcentral.com/inspire-rooting-roms-hacks/88094-rom-t-stock-rom-sense-unroot.html
just in case you need it.. Cause I did root back to stock..which now Im thinking about rooting today.. Just cause I dont like the bloatware but which is nice about root it gives unknown sources thats if you DL and app rather then the market place right now I use Side Load Wonder Machine its a pain to go through the pc but unknown allows you to DL 3rd party off a site. but other then having bloatware removed and having unknown sources thats all I did for rooting. Helpful hint is also looking into how to make a back up of your phone just in case something messes up.

Thank you so much for your support everyone... so one final question... what is bloatware?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

bloatware is all the pre install apps and like the blockbuster ATT nav, yelp etc. even though this is for droidX it works the same just copy and past this -----> Droid X Bloatware Removal How To Android 2.2 FroYo <-------- in youtube and its the 1st, or you can use titanium backup Pro to freeze the bloatware which makes the OS of the phone think its not their anymore and you can unfreeze it later if you need it.. over all its to save some memory on the phone..

So how do i save all memory to my sd card before rooting?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

what do you mean memory? like in apps,pics? their is an app called app2Sd in the market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.a0soft.gphone.app2sd&feature=search_result
that may help also heads up if you root you can do a back up with titanium back up and it restore your apps on that half Im not a 100% sure just google it one of the things I miss from my iphone is the itunes for backing up my apps.Still have not found a program thats like itunes for backing up apps fully and add them back if needed.
to bad you can just drag your apps to your Pc and save.. =(

But what will move my pictures and music to the sd card?

They should already be there. The phone stores that kind of stuff on the SD card, because internal storage is limited.

for moving the pic and music I would just move it to your PC and when your doing rooting just transfer them back.

did you install d2 bootstrap then update
cwm with rom manager use dx 2nd int
hold on I'll add links
The correct way is installing Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery and using that to hijack. This will give you CWM 2.0.0.x. Once done, install the Droid X (2nd init) CWM via ROM Manager, and you'll end up with a fully functional CWM 5.0.0.x.

Rooted my galaxy 5.0..scared to flash but want to know whats next?

So this morning i rooted my 5.0 player. Still has factory rom/kernal and runs on gingerbread 2.5 or whatever the stock firmware and os is. Anyyywaaayy. Its rooted. I have all in one tools and memory cleaner to optimize performance. I am usin an ics theme but i feel like im missing something. What kind of things can i do to enjoy the rootness on my mini tablet? Or could some of you guys help a noob build confidence about flashing. Idk i saw a mobile version of odin. Not sure what to think. I would love a jellybean os or something better than gingerbread.. It sucks. Lol what can i do now?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app

Well my friend, we do have our own forum, and recently we got jellybean on our devices thanks to medorval. But here is what you should do, first, get the newest version of Odin on your computer. I use 1.85 i believe, then go download and flash entropy's kernel, which is overclocked for speed and, well, tech stuff. If you need more clear steps, contact me or go to our forum. Just type in galaxy player in the search your device and it should pop up for the 4.0 and 5.0. Don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find them, I can help.
That is only the start of what you can do.
DO NOT USE MOBILE ODIN. DO NOT. IT BRICKS OUR DEVICE.

Haha thanks. And just a heads up so there is no frustration, you have to be on an ICS rom to update to jellybean. For some reason, you get errors while trying to do it on gingerbread. And flash jellybean through CWM.

Boost 4.2.2 issues

I have been trying to get a zip file from moddingmy mind to work on boost HTC one sv with no luck I was able to get it to boot but as his op says has bugs
Noisy phone on my end
No data connection
I'm currently running simonz 4.1.2 Rom, with symlink, and kernel patches
Cwm v 6.0.2.8 is my recovery
After I got the 4.2 Rom to load I tried flashing simonz sicklekernlv20 using adv fastboot the phone took the file but on reboot it stock on HTC white screen
I have noticed old splatterhand has a v3 download of this Rom will it work on boost mobile 4g lte HTC one svs, and if so what do I need to do to make it work.
I am pretty knowledgeable about flashing through cwm, sideload and adb
Any help would be appreciated,and thank you guys for your work
Sent from my C525c using xda app-developers app

@rickberg
Do not use any ROMs from other devices, there partitions are not the same
When running the 4.2.2 ROM ported by @Modding.MyMind don't flash any other kernel with it.
A 4.1.2 kernel will not with with a 4.2.2 ROM.
@old.splatterhand ROMs are for K2_U and K2_UL only, we(boost) are K2_CL and can only flash K2_CL ROMs.
Is this the information you're looking for?
Ask more if you still need some guidance.
!# add @russellvone to your post if you want my attention quicker

Use the rom from Modding.MyMind to work on, if you want to play with something.
Otherwise, wait for your update.
To know, how to flash a rom is not enough to port GSM to CDMA.

@Old splatter hand I under stand that completely
@Russelvone thank you for the clarification on that so as of right now there is no flashable Rom for boost users correct
Sent from my C525c using xda app-developers app

Only the 4.2.2 by Modding.MyMind, and 4.1.2 by simonsimons34, but it's just Like stock 4.1.2 on our device,
But in terms of super awesome custom ROMs......nope not yet, but there will be in the future.
!# add @russellvone to your post if you want my attention quicker

Start learning how to port. Best answer I can give. It is not easy, and is always guaranteed to have problems until resolved otherwise. There is the apps folder, framework folder, vendor folder, etc which need porting done to. There is apks that need some modifications, there is jar/odex files which need modifications (depending if Rom is odexed or deodexed). There is lib files to port, and in some cases some porting within the boot.img from one Rom to the other based on certain command lines which vary depending on the port. All can be hits and misses. You will get stuck on Phone FC, black screens, splash screens, bootanimation display, and even reboots. Even may get device booted but warnings start popping up all over so they to have to be dealt with. Porting from GSM to CDMA is NEVER easy and usually always results in bugs but in some cases will work like a charm. Just a matter of finding the problems and making the fixes as needed. Not every port is the same. There are many many guides that show how to port but don't see them as guides. Instead see them as merely references or ideas to consider. There is no port guide that is complete and or accurate. They all are hits and misses. So at best they are just references to consider like when you brainstorm on paper with bubbles and then more bubbles branching off of those other bubbles haha. Anyways, try porting and you will better understand the process. Expect to pull your hair, throw your computer, run and scream in public and when successful, join a circus to perform an outrageous but memorable act . Good luck.

Boost ics stock rom?

Does anyone have Boost ics stock rom? My bootloader is unlocked and I have cwm but s-on. I don't have a way to get on a pc. Can I install through recovery with a nandroid or a .zip with s-on?

Sorry I didn't mean to post this in this thread. I'm not sure how to move it..

A moderator has to move it upon request. Yes, one is available on here, but you are S-On so you may have to pull the boot file from the backup, change name to boot.img then flash it using fastboot (which requires a pc)
However, I haven't been S-On in a long time so I could be wrong about the boot.img...
@russellvone could you elaborate for me.
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks for the quick reply! I know flashing probably wouldn't work and I already tried to use a jb nandroid from my brothers phone which didn't work which is why I was wondering if a stock ics unrooted would work

I'm not real sure what happened. All I did was do factory reset in cwm and now its stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant

Haha, that's simple, when you did a factory reset in CWM you formatted your partitions. Your boot.img is still intact but you have nothing on your data, system, etc so there is nothing to load which is why you are not getting past the screen. Only do a factory reset in a custom recovery when like flashing a Rom for example. Which version OS were you on originally before you wiped your phone out ....

I don't have an ICS backup, but I know @russellvone does. He keeps stuff like this on hand for just a situation like this one. However, you should only need to flash the system.img and be good after that. I recommend doing an OTA update in your settings once you get your device back up and going. We will be receiving 4.2.2 with Sense 5 soon.
Anyways, I tagged him as you can see. Just visit back here periodically to see if he replied back. He will, I guarantee you that. He will help you restore your device
Sent from my C525c using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Okay, thanks for the help! Much appreciated!!! Would I have to flash the system.img with fastboot or would it be in a nandroid?

You can use a JB backup but you will need the firmware.zip that comes in the JB OTA to flash in rebootRUU to complete the process on your device.

Yeah I've been checking this off and on. You guys are life savers!! Thanks alot!

Your boot.img is still intact so flashing that Rom should get you booted up just fine. If for any reason you get stuck on the HTC screen then you will need to extract the boot.img and flash it with fastboot (however that shouldn't be necessary since you are still on stock boot.img for ICS)
