Of course you won't as long as your bootloader is unlocked. Make sure that you are running an stock rom or you will get stuck.
OK thats where my confusion sets in. R u saying just be on stock? Bc I can't flash any roms anyways. But the RUU. Does that affect me? I'm confused about it.
Is there a good step by step tutorial on what I need to do to get the phone so I can flash roms from the stage I'm at now?
Thank you

The hack kit site: http://tau.shadowchild.nl And the effen manual, are all You Need To follow.
I read the manual and I'm stuck bc it stops and says my phone has already been downgraded. Now I'm confused bc someone else said I need to go back to stock n unlock bootloaders then run that program again.. Please help

Ok, Let me be precise about your issue, I don't know what someone told you, you shouldn't care that much either...all you need to do is to follow instructions in the Hack Kit site and effen manual. Do not do what other people tell you to do...you will get stuck that way.
If your phone was already downgraded, then you can just run the Hack Kit to hack your device directly without the need to do it again. Paste the Hack Kit session in here or in pastebin.com and I will help you, but do not deviate from the instructions or try something different.
Have you locked your bootloader again?
Thank you soooo much. No I was having serious issues getting the computer to recognize adb drivers so I haven't locked thebootloader back yet. I'm trying again to get them installed. I will then run the hack kit again.. But at that point I don't think I should run it bc ill still have root access or does that matter? I will paste the script once I get it. Thank u again

So awhile back when I had my inspire I checked into unlocking it, and found the forum on here about the aahk advanced hack kit. I just recently started messing with it since I have a new phone. I've had some problems with rooting it. First time the process went about halfway through then quit. Now every time you try it the process will not cooperate and gives an error. Anyone have any suggestions for a noob like me to try and help in any way? Anything is appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
What was the output? And which version of AAHK?
What do you mean by output? And its an older version...probably from May 2012. I think there is a new version that came out in November 2012, i just don't know if I've bricked it by using the old kit.

Here is the video I used to root when I was on 2.3.3 Gingerbread. It's painless, but takes some waiting.
What is the error you are getting, exactly? D: and if you are on 2.3.3 try my link. ^.^ If you are on 2.3.5 or another version, try searching more hack kits for rooting that specific rom version.

Ok, step, by step, what did you do? And by output I mean what did AAHK say when it ran (both times). Also, what does it say when you reboot into hboot? (Reboot holding power and volume-down.)
Noob mistake I know, but I couldn't tell you. (Calc and physics has my brain fried...). I think I'm going to try the latest hack kit tonight and come back on here if I need help or get stuck. More than likely I'll be back.

Okay so here's what happened last night. I tried the new aahk (11092012) and it required a downgrade of the rom. Process went thru but however when it got to thr hboot menu I received a message telling me that the image was not found. I have a pic of the output where it tells me the downgrade is complete (if anyone wants to decipher it for me), all the way thru the hboot directions. Could this be a faulty sd card?

I have but actually got stuck. For the HTCdev there is no option for the Inspire 4G. I tried it under the Desire HD. That told me (I think) the current rom is unavailable and they are working on it. Then I tried "all other models", which also got me stuck...

I tried to redo the htcdev bootloader earlier and now when I get to some of the earliest steps I run into a problem. Everytime I try to fastboot is says "no image found" land searches for a zin file. I know its something like pd098.zip or whatever it is. How do I get around this?

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up

Make a cup of coffee and read all the stickies. Get your software version and follow the procedures for your software version after reading and understanding the procedure. It is always assumed you have a working knowledge of adb, fastboot and the search feature. If it seems too overwhelming to read and understand please dont root. The fact that you have to ask for a link leads me to believe this is above you.

Hi guys,
I recently took the latest OTA update and lost root, which is fine. My problem is, is that I cannot remove SuperSU and still have that annoying custom (with an unlocked padlock image) at start up. I did a factory reset thinking it would get rid of them, but it didn't. Can anyone help me out? DroidModderX suggested to flash a stock image in odin, but I don't know how to do that. I am still in the infant stages of doing stuff like this
Thanks!

There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.
Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work.
Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.
Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.
And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.
OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.

If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.
If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.

Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.
Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.
