So after a few hours I successfully rooted and unlocked (s-off) my HTC Inspire. I flashed to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_7.3! Everything is working perfectly. However, I tried to run xbox smartglass and apparently I am on too low of an andriod version. Is there anyway to go up to 4.0+? Also is it worth it?
Any help would be appreciated
Yes, there are 4.0+ ROMs available on both the Inspire 4G and the Desire HD development forums. You can use both; they're nearly the same phone.

I tried a few this morning. I wasn't happy with the speed. So I went back to HD Revolution
Did you try bluebot v3

I switched my Atrix for the Inspire ealier today and since my wife and kids are in bed, I finally got a chance to play with it. I got it rooted and everything but when I got to look at the available roms to flash, they mostly say "Desire HD and/or Ace Roms" before I had the Atrix I had the Evo and the roms were always listed what phone the rom was for
With that said, can someone please tell me if all Desire HD Roms are compatible with the Inspire or is it a select few?
And is RA Recovery available for the Inspire or is it just Clockwork?

If you check the Inspire 4G Android Development there are a lot of ROMs based off Desire HD ROMs but ported using a different kernel for the Inspire. Remember, the Desire HD and the Inspire are basically the same devices except for the sound drivers which is why the Roms need a proper kernel. For instance, if you were to flash a Desire HD rom it would work except it would probably have no sound; you would have to flash an Inspire 4G kernel with working sound. And to your second question I don't know what that Recovery is so sorry! Hope this explained things a bit haha.

and I wish he would port it, I always liked it.
My phone says it has Android 2.3.3.
Is this correct? Thought it came with 2.3.4? Also, why can't I video chat with googletalk?

its version 2.3.3

Yes

No 2.3.3
Also, why can't I video chat with googletalk?
Because thats a feature only availble in 2.3.4.
HTC will hopefully update it to 2.3.4 in due course. The only phones I know of having 2.3.4 are the Nexus One and Nexus S, but anyone can correct me if I'm wrong

Officially, you're probably right, but pretty much any phone running an up-to-date custom ROM will have 2.3.4, such as my HTC Desire running the CyanogenMod 7.1 nightlies.
Thankyou everyone. Is qik a good way to video chat?

Apparently the SGS2 is getting 2.3.4 reasonably soon, which will hopefully spur HTC into updating themselves.
Try the Vtok app.

Hi
Please can someone tell me what the most recent version of Android can go on an official HTC Hero. There appear to be no furthe rupdates from my network and I wonder whether the upgrade can be done myself.
From what I can tell, there are a few 2.3 gingerbread ports available for the hero.
Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191 using XDA App
What's a port? Sorry but I'm new at upgrading.
Since gingerbread isn't made naturally for the hero, they stopped pushing updates out after 2.2, a port takes the 2.3 build and makes it available for the hardware of the Hero. You would have to root and be able to install custom ROM's, then download the ROM and flash it with either clockworkmod or amen-ra.

I assume it is a hero for sprint (cdma)? If so, head on over to that forum. If not, head to the gsm forum. There are a few of us still hanging on to our cdma heros. Send me a pm if you have any questions about rooting which, as stated by others, you will have to do to update your android version.... Good luck.

Installing an ruu will unroot it. Root is access the os layer /system and nothing else.

Why would you put a stock DESIRE HD ROM on an INSPIRE just to hope that HTC will think you have a DHD and give you the update for the DHD? Well they won't anyways. You do realize a stock DHD ROM is not 100% compatable with the Inspire? They do have slight hardware differences.
Gene Poole has a rooted version of the new DHD ROM with adjusted drivers for the Inspire in the Development section. If that is what you want in the end then just install it. Here is the link.

Only problem with that is, other users, like myself, have gotten a bootloop after installation. It will boot, but will constantly loop on the "HTC - quietly brilliant" screen. Last I checked, there was no solution as of yet. If Gene Pool can figure out what is causing it and correct it, I will most likely try flashing it again.

If you really want to run this stock base, I would go into fshami's Sens 3.0i thread and ask Wild Child if you could test his soon to be released stock version of this base. It has all the S's- smooth, stable, speedy, solid..... I'm sure he wouldn't mind another good tester.

I bought HTC Inspire 4G phone, but the software recognized it as Desire HD even on the market so i'm not sure if i want to add launcher where to look , Inspire 4g or Desire HD ?
please any explanation !
the inspire is basically the north american version of the desire hd... most of the custom roms available for one will work for the other.
have you flashed a custom rom, or are you on stock still?
either way its nothing to worry about, your phone will work just fine.
If you are using the stock rom and about phone information says it is desire, then you have a desire. Many custom roms are made to be used for both phones bit does not detect the inspire unless you flash inspiremod....and not all roms from one phone will work on the other. Make sure that if you flash a custom Rom it is compatible with your phone. Otherwise you might get stuck.

If you have an inspire, then definitely the inspire guide. Read a lot and be prepared, if you get stuck Google it or pm someone. Have fun :thumbup:

Use the Hack Kit....don't use any other method....It works for both DHD and Inspire and if you follow all instructions you will be s-off and rooted in less than 5 minutes.
