Ok jumped ship from the Captivate to the Inspire.
So far am liking the phone.
I want to root it and rom. I saw the sticky in the general section and want to ask is that the best place to start?
Captivate was fairly easy to mess with. Reading a bit seems the inspire is a bit more tricky. I just want to make sure that I don't brick it lol. I want to make sure I can get it back to stock if need be.
If this should have been in Q&A then mod please move it. Figured I would introduce myself and get pointed in the correct direction. No sense making useless posts.

Welcome fellow ex-Captivate owner. Your instints are spot-on. That sticky is THE best place to start. Everything you need is in that thread, in terms of info and links to rooting methods, etc.
As a former Captivate owner, the inspire is not "one-clickable,",like the Captivate, and A LOT of people get tripped-up on the rooting process. It's more involved, but that's just how it is. The advantages this phone has over the Captivate make it worth it.
What about drivers. I downloaded some but not sure how or if I need to install them.
For computer drivers go to the official htc website and download and install the ones for the inspire.Once installed, you can delete htc sync since it isn't that useful anyways and can interfere with computer to phone communications.
Now you should be fine on drivers.

Got rom manager going and found leedroid on it and am installing that now.
Ok if things get borked how do I get back to stock. With the captivate always had a way to get out a bad flash. How do I do with the inspire?

Odin on the cappy is RUU on the inspire, more or less.

Well I appreciate that response but can you point me too some. I would like a GB rom and not sure what the difference is between Sense 2.1 and Sense 3.0. I gather getting a sense 3.0 is the way to go.
I am currently using Leedroid GB right now.
If I want to flash another rom what is the procedure for that? On the Cappy I would flash back to a stock rom then flash the new rom. Is that similar here or what?
From experience it is best to do a backup of apps and contacts and do a full wipe from recovery
1- wipe data / factory reset
2- mounts and storage - format system
3- advanced - wipe Dalvik Cache
4- Install Rom and add-ons
when going between ROMs for the inspire it is best to do this. Only when upgrading to a new release of a ROM you can just flash over the top of it and sometimes that gets sticky.

Thanks much. Those 3 steps are what flashing to stock with Odin is on a Cappy. So I now know what to do on the Inspire.
Bit different animal the Inspire then the Cappy. So far am liking it a bit better. Sense is much nicer then touchwiz but I removed touchwiz and replaced with launcher pro about 2hrs after first getting the Cappy.
One issue I get is the clock/weather widget reports the temp in Celsius how can that be changed?

when switching between ext3 and ext4 roms you need to add
3.5 mount /system & /data
might as well be in the habit.
I personally like sense 3.0, but the sense 2.x are a lot more stable with less hiccups.
i know its a pain, but please read the threads. by page 200 you will know the answers to all the irritating questions people just keep asking over and over and over. but keep on reading because there will be little gems here and there.
that 3-4 hours reading up on a particular rom will come in handy when you flash and know what to expect, common issues and how to deal with them. that 3-4 hours will keep you from having wait a day to be acknowledged with a lovely "search the thread" or "read the OP" response.
but hopefully you rooted your captivate, know to read up first, seach second, reread, search again and then ask. and welcome to the inspire!
I had my Captivate rooted and rom'd about 2 weeks after I got it. So yeah I am a flasher.
I know what to expect if something goes wrong and usually could get out of it with my cappy. I never had to use a jig or even buy one. I seemed have good results with anything I did on that phone. Finally found a nice GB rom for it great battery life.
Reading through the threads I do do that but there is so much bs and off topic stuff in some of these threads it gets tiresome to paw through 200+ pages to find something. I suck at searching on forums always get non related stuff.
I hear ya. I am not a noob at this just cautious and like to ask questions before doing things.
I'm also a Captivate to Inspire person. I agree that things look like they were a lot easier on the Captivate. I'm very nervous that I'll break something. The phone seems to work fine stock though.

You're not going to break anything. It might LOOK like you did, but as long as the phone at least starts to boot up, even if it appears stuck, it's fixable.
And the phone does work great stock, compared to a stock captivate, it just works even better with a custom ROM, as most will improve the battery life significantly, if properly flashed, and absent of any rogue battery-draining apps that are installed by the owner of the phone.

Ok I know I have another thread but its used up, been abused, and I don't know how to delete it...so Mods, Do what you will with that old thread, slap it around like the naughty (of age) girl that it is, I have moved on to bigger and better things.
Anyways, now that we can move forward...
QUESTION TIME!!! The time where the average user can shine like a knight, riding through the mist of a dark and mysterious woods, to save us average folk whom know little of the world of flashing but are trying their best.
*cough*
OK! Here it is...
I flashed my Desire S to STOCK and MARKET and YOUTUBE were not functional...force closing, calling me names, I enjoyed it but wanted my Market and Youtube to work so I performed the RESET FACTORY DATA TECHNIQUE!!!
After that all was well, but BUT here lies the question's (Ha! tricked you! there are TWO questions!!!)
1. It deleted "Clock mod thingy"...do I need it to flash another rom? and where can I get this delicious slice?
2. If I needed the Europe Stock Rom (I'm in Canada but my Desire S is from Europe...love at first swipe) can I use ANY rom on this forum? Or does it have to be specific to my Desire S with a sexy accent?
On a side note I retained the "Super User" app after I factory reset my device...is that good?
Anyways answer away, and I will hand out a delicious PIE (Do what you will with it, eat it or...?)
hehehe
Ok installed "ClockworkMod" and selected Desire S and...I am thinking I didn't even need it right, if I choose to flash from the recovery menu of the phone. I will leave it on just incase.
I hope someone answers the above original questions soon, the pie is getting all cold and eaten... *nom nom*
I would say you do need a custom recovery, ie CWM but would recommend 4ext set my signature. As you'll need this to take backups.
you've not said but I'm guessing you're s-off? So any custom ROM should be fine. Look in the INDEX thread in development for options
It's very good that you still have su as you should still be rooted.
It would help to provide ROM versions and hboot screen within posts

Hi.
Love the humour in your post. Don't get me wrong... but it's a bit distracting from the actual matter at hand and information is still lacking.
Would've helped if you'd mentioned a few things:
1. Is your phone branded? (I'm guessing not, since you're using a European handset in Canada)
2. What Hboot version do you have, the old or the new one?
3. How did you get S-off? (XTC-Clip or Revolutionary)
4. Is your root access intact? (Try installing Titanium backup and see what it says regarding root access and busybox... )
5. Is it imperative you have a stock ROM? It's no issue using inter-region ROMs nowadays and restrictions are negligible. If you can, i suggest you either flash Hyperion or Endymion ROM to set up the phone once... then you can go flash whatever the hell you fancy once you have a nandroid backup on atleast one of them.
If you are non-branded, s-off with root access and on the old hboot and willing to try out a little fooling around..., follow the undermentioned steps :
1. Install 4EXT Recovery. (Link in my Sig)
The clock mod "thingy" is good but 4EXT is waaay better! You can do this by flashing a 4EXT Recovery zip while in recovery, or via adb or via the free app 4EXT Recovery Updater or the paid app 4EXT Recovery Control (It's like ROM Manager, only much better)
2. Take a nandroid backup using the Recovery control app or from within the recovery. (Its in the backup / restore option)
3. Download and transfer a custom ROM to the root of your sd card. (If you want a custom sense 3.5 ROM, link is in my sig - It's Endymion. Just install v2.0 right now. No need to migrate to v2.1 just yet. Lets set up the ROM first)
4. While in Recovery, do a factory reset/ wipe data for system, cache and dalvik... Better yet to go ahead into the "wipe / format" sub menu and use the option "formal all partitions (except sd card)"
5. Now choose the option : "install from sdcard" and choose the ROM zip file which you had put on the root of your sd card.
6. Once its flashed, reboot... and let us know what happened.
OK thanks guys I will try this stuff once I get off work. It is s off for sure, and I was able to install titanium. Once this 12 hour shift is done I will be back with screen shots of all my info, thanks guys (typing From my phone...maybe I should get the xda app)

So yeah...I mean if there are no apps I care to save, do I really need to back up anything?
Can't I just flash any rom from this forum but using volume down+power/Recovery to flash the roms and be done with it? Thats how I got this working on stock (It was running saga3d or something by proxiuser or something...Sorry I dont have much experience with this but am trying to explain things. I got the phone USED and already Unlocked and Rooted)
So do I need to do any back up's if I dont care about apps? My contacts are on my sim card so I am cool there.
Oh and sorry for the double post but...
I would like a suggestion for a rom. I am looking for the most graphical intensive, beautiful rom I can possibly find to make my iphone 4 using wife jelly of Android : )

Congratulations. Happy to help.
Btw as far as roms go... There is nothing better than Endymion for the desire s. Link is in my signature.
Just take a nandroid backup of the miui you are using and try Endymion. You can always restore it if you do not like Endymion... (extremely unlikely)
P.S. : Where's my pie???

You will not regret Endymion. My personal assurance on that.
And if you like more eye candy... then liamstears theme v1.8 is a wonderful addon.
I'm tweaking it a little bit to fix the beats audio bug there... and testing it on my device. lemme know if you want a go at it and i'll upload it for you...

Noob question??
I've had the HTC Evo 4G for the last month and a half, and before I even purchased it, after talks with old friends of Jailbroken iPhones I had decided I was going to jump into modding headfirst when I got my smartphone, and since that day I've flashed, downloaded, backed up, and restored more things than I could count, learned how to swamp myself out of bricks, learned which kernels sucked and which ones didn't, etc...all the typical XDA stuff.
My girlfriend has a Nexus S 4G that she got 2 weeks afterward, and she has absolutely no interested in the development side of the phone, she wouldn't learn what AOSP meant if you paid her a dollar, but she wants her phone to be awesome. I am trying. HOWEVER...I haven't found success flashing a kernel over any custom rom on her phone YET! I have flashed the stable CyanogenMod7.1 as well as assorted nightly builds, MIUI, the one and only sense rom the Nexus can run properly, and that's all went over fine, but every kernel i've attempted flashing thusfar (Trinity, TalonAce, v7 snap kernel, Nexus Netarchy kernel, and a few others) have either stuck me at a splashscreen that wiping the dalvik and cache partition would not fix, or locked me at the initial black screen with the google logo and lock underneath for indescriminate amounts of time...essentially a brick, not a bootloop. This is the first time i've felt I am truly at a point where no amount of research and reading will be able to empower me to help myself so...help a n00b out here?? Am I doing something wrong??
She is currently running a themed MIUI build 110280 with the stock kernel. Anybody run into this problem or one similar yet? I looked and looked for a thread and found nothing..

flash the rom, flash the gapps(if needed), flash the kernel, then boot. be sure its a latest rom build, because most of the kernels are updated to support the latest android versions. also, if it doesnt boot, sometimes pulling the battery for 3 minutes then sticking it back in and booting helps. if that doesnt work, try flashing the rom and gapps, booting, then back into recovery to flash the kernel separately. dont use rom manager, flash in recovery.

its underclocked at 880mhz, undervolted for great batter life, and the gpu/bus is overclocked to 220mhz(10%) for performance. this little 880mhz kernel runs like its overclocked to 1.2ghz.

I have tried different roms, yes, several, and different kernels to flash. It's not an issue of performance or anything, just that I can't get the dang kernel on the phone in the first place. The link for the dalvik wiper wont help me either, as, like I've already stated, I am using Amon-Ra

a few things..
first off, you havent stated anywhere that youre using Amon Ra. 2nd, Amon Ra doesnt make a recovery for the nexus s, i know that because hes a friend of mine. next, instead of saying that youve tried it already, try it again, things change. also, you dont have to be rude about it, just trying to help YOU. which leads me to.. see ya, im not going to waste my time and try to help you

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
Eh, whatever, your posts still weren't helpful in either case...I didn't ask for your rom and kernel preferences, I asked about a hard/software malfunction of some sort. I know what kernel and what rom i'm going for, what I CANT figure out is how to get past this brick wall. Maybe you missed the "impatient" part in the bump, whereas my newness kept my post about the recovery from going through (only 1 per 5 minutes, apparently...didn't even notice). Anyone else that actually went through this problem wanna give it a shot?
@esteway
Never been a troll a day in my life. I've been on xda constantly for the last month seems like, but I've never even been inclinated to join this forum, let alone troll in it. And now the one time I need help no one else either has the problem or knows how to fix it. My recovery makes no difference whatsoever, if I had a modded recovery that isn't either clockwork or amon ra like my cousin has (although I don't know how in the world he got it) my problem still remains. If you can't help me, beat it. You're the one trolling, you weren't even in our conversation.
Youre the one saying u can post the pic so.... prove it. As for your problem I never herd of that issue.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
it could be an amon ra recovery that someone ported or built from source, thats possible. it is open sourced, and most recoveries are based on it. but if it is, id flash another recovery because the one you have would be out of date. since you havent tried that, you should try. both clockwork and twrp recoveries are good.

ANYTHING is possible on these phones if given enough time and attention, and I'd assume anyone who frequents these forums as often as either of you do should know that much, so thank you simms. I've seen a modded or black market version of almost every app i've ever downloaded lol I don't say no to anything being possible in android userspace
Anyway, twrp? I've never heard of that one before. Is it more fully functional than clockwork? I'll be trying it out. I'll try ANYTHING out, I just want this to go away...I feel like the only one who has ever run into this problem
Here's the tread to twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196500
It is a bit different than clockworkmod mod but give it a try see if it fixes your problem.

KANG - To steal or a stolen code when referring to programming. Also can refer to leaked coding.
Due to the copious amounts of kanging that now happens in regards to android development I will be pulling all of my links and changing the original posts with this. If you would like to use my roms please feel free to find the kanged version elsewhere.
For inspiring developers, rtfm or ask someone who knows what they are doing before you steal someone elses work, look at someones code and get the general idea. If you port or use something as a base, credit that person. Do not just link back to the thread where you got it from. My email is [email protected] so feel free to ask questions, if I know the answers I will be willing to assist.
I don't wish to call anyone out but I will say there are a few roms, specifically for MT4G Slide that have been kanged. One of which was taken from me, another was a kanged version of CM7 which was just the Settings.apk SettingsProvider.apk and Launcher.apk replaced. CM7 is framework edits, not just a list of apps an entire team works on. You cannot just replace apps in CyanogenMod and expect it to work thus the reason some parts of the Settings.apk force close. Its not hard to be an idiot but its even easier to spot bull**** work, do yourselves a favor, leave xda, leave rootzwiki, leave whatever thread you are on and learn from people who know what the fk they're doing.
If my email fills with hate mail, then fine, at least what I did I feel was right and do not have to worry about my development being taken and rebadged, if I'm out of line then have a moderator delete and close my thread. Thanks!
Mainly because we are looking for s-off... Good work though

It's the bone stock myTouch ROM, there should be screen shots and videos of it every where on Google. Since It's stock only, no mods us myTouch users already know what to expect it to look like

Does this have the insecure boot.img? What about the hboot version?
I'm currently unlocked and s-off, running UndeadK9's "stock" deodexed/rooted/optimized R2 release ROM. I don't want to lose s-off or root, but I like having a more "stock" rom as this is my only phone.

I cant edit the build prop at all. If I do it won't boot. Does this have unsecure boot.img by chance?

What are you trying to edit, and to what? I'm almost sure the boot.img is unsecured

I just used root explorer and changed my VM heap and rebooted fine

I know Daniel60104's ROM does have the unsecure boot.img, not sure on this one.
On a side note, has anyone tried flashing the radio update that accompanied this release? I know that radio is a no-go for older ROMS, but since it was designed with this release, no word yet how it works with a rooted ROM.
Anyone noticed battery life improvement on this stock version? I've been using this for a week now and I can say there's a big difference compare to the older version. I am using the non-debloat (stock). Another thing is I have yet to experience the random warm battery issue that I've been experiencing from older stock based roms.

I have noticed much better battery performance with this stock ROM, as well. I'm using Daniel's stock, rooted ROM, and I ran Bloater to take out the things I didn't want (like TMobileTV, TeleNAV, QIK). This ROM runs very quick, smooth. I'm still wondering about the newer radio, though I'm hesitant to flash it because I can't afford to screw up this phone. This is my ONLY phone, it has to work.

As long as the Md5 matches your safe, just follow the instructions one at a time, like read all the way through them once and make sure you understand the steps, then go back and start the process, that's it the phone handles the rest...BUT its still scary I understand that, Hell I've had my own EVO Shift ROM for about 10 months and i still use the stock 2.2 radio on that phone

Given that I'm running 1.55.531.3, S-OFF and rooted, with the original stock radio, and everything is working splendidly (wi-fi, bluetooth, camera, gps, etc.), I'm not gonna mess with it for now.
I'm interested to see what HTC comes out with since they halted the 1.55.531.3 OTA update due to "performance issues". When they restart, I wonder if it will be a different version, for instance.

Well them performance issues can and will be addressed asap, its all about tweaking the ROM, we had major Sense reloads on the evo shift so we learned to allocate more memory here rather than there, and once a ROM was odexed/scripted/opted they flat out flew.
When it comes to the radio on my DoubleShot i will probably never change the radio cause if it aint broke dont fix it

Soo excited, i was afraid to do it for past few weeks, but finally decided to do it, lol had no prior experience on rooting and this was my first phone rooting EVER, but following guides helped me and downgraded, temp root, than perm rooted with S off , and finally a custom ROM without a problem in like 1 hour XD.
See pics below of my MT4G running the MIUI ROM.
So basically i was wondering what rom i should get(already bored of the MIUI XD), just give me some suggestions, and also what else can i do with perm root S-Off except for flashing roms and installed root only apps, is there anyways i can possibly change the Bootscreen where it says MyTouch 4g to something else? thanks
first off, congrats buddy, and welcome
personally i really like miui, the themeing and customization imo is one of the most powerful and best on a rom, and it's cm7 based, gotta love dat cm7
the new ICS, now that the camera works, and actually even before the camera (but having one is better than not), is what i'm running right now and i'm loving it alot, super smooth like butter.
have fun flashing

Check this thread, then search the themes and app forum for splash screen-there are several threads that have custom splash screens sized for our phone, am sure you will find one you like

be careful with this part. If u brick your phone, and it doesnt have the original splash screen, you 99.99999% wont be able to get a warranty replacement if u turn it on and it gets stuck on the splash screen saying anything but the official logo. I love customizing, but after bricking my last phone just by taking the battery out, I've chosen not to take risks like that. thats the only thing im keeping the same.

Facial recognition does not work in IceColdInsomnia 6.2.1. A planned update will include that feature (read the OP, it's all in there). If you're dying to try out face recognition unlock, give Zip's Creamed Glacier a shot. However, his version is completely stock (AOSP) whereas IceColdInsomnia is AOKP, meaning it has been modified with tweaks and customizations, the most significant which is ROM Control. It basically gives you a few more options in the settings to tweak to your liking; it also includes the option to skip tracks by long-pressing the volume buttons while the screen is off. That is one feature I cannot live without...
Anyways, yes, you wipe everything and flash it. You can disregard the kernel posted at the link because one is already included in the ROM.
check out "Zips Creamed Glacier"

the most well rounded ICS Rom in my opinion is "Zips Creamed Glacier"
*usb works
*facial recognition works
*low mic issue has been resolved.
*both cameras are working
i've been using it for the past three days and i don't have anything negative to say. check it out im pretty sure u guys won't be disappointed.
Personally I believe this ROM is the best:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1563576
It combines the two best ICS ROMs together, forming the most optimal one for now. Too bad the download has been taken down for the time of being.
I finally talked my wife into letting me root her mt4g. I jumped into mine too fast and had issues. Actually I had my bootloader unlocked by htc, and it took me many tries to reverse the damage of HTC method, but i finally got mine right. But today, from the time i pryed it outta her hand til i finished, took me about 10 to 15 minutes, since i have all the files in the right places. Im pretty good now, but i was just ignorant a few weeks ago! I enjoyed doing hers. But she didnt want ics yet, so i put Darkside Sense 4 on hers for now. I am waiting just a tad bit longer, the I'm gonna move on to ics...

Congrats on the root!! Like you I also rooted my glacier, about 6 months ago though. I flashed my new boot image but I've seen some apps that might flash it for you - check out rom toolbox

I am currently running Zips Creamed Glacier 3.11. Its awesome apart from a few small issues. But Zips has promised to resolve them and bring in some more awesome goodies. Can't wait. You should give this ROM a try.
yeh ive been tring to download it but the links say : "taken down for the time being..."
I want to try it though =/
