Hi All,
I have rooted (I think) my HTC Inspire and Unlocked it as well ( using EastAceRootTool_21112013). I was trying to put on the Blackout_ICS_Incredible_v4.0 but could not get it to work. So I tried the GizRoot_v_2. Once that was done i booted the phone but things were not working well.
So I want to go back to the original RUU and/or .zip for my phone. I have tried many things:
1) RUU faults saying there is no connection (error 171 or 170 have gotten both)
2) Have tried flashing from original file PD98IMG.zip and also the rom.zip pilled from the RUU (always get an error that states "E:Can't open sdcard/rom.zip (bad) or /PD98IMG.zip (bad).
I have read that if it is unlocked there with be issues with "signed" files. Also have tried wiping cache, dalvik, etc with no luck.
This is what I would like to do:
1) Get back to a stock ROM so my wife can use it
or
2) find a decent working ICS ROM for the HTC Inspire 4G (AT&T) that doesn't have many issues.
Thank you in advance for any support offered. I am a noob when it comes to some of this but do have some experience.

Error 170 means your PC isn't recognizing your phone. U might need to install the proper drivers and or minimal fastboot and adb drivers.

Hi Chrisb906,
Thanks for replying. Short answer is nope haven't fixed it yet.
Just tried the ROM you pointed me too. Currently I have gotten the htc white screen and it is sitting there like that so it seems I have made things worse.
My htc sync is one of the newest from the download site at htc. I have also tried sync version DriverVer=11/06/2012,2.0.0007.00014.
So I am not sure where to go from here. At this point if I could get back to square one that would be something.
What other information can I provide you that might help?

Hi Chrisb,
Sorry had some weather related issues.
Unfortunately the RUU always faults with connection issues. I was able to flash from zip back to the Gizroot_v_2 again and then tried the MR1 ICS but upon reboot only goes to the htc boot screen and then sits there.
I looked through the thread you had in the last post but I didn't see anything there for this issue.
Thanks again,
Falcondown01
I know this is a crazy question but bare with me as I diagnose here. You're s-on right? So when installing the zip in recovery are you going back to fastboot and flashing the boot.img from the zip?

Hi Muhff,
Yes, correct "s" is on. As far as fastboot and the bootimg I cannot say. I am new at some of this and am trying to get this to work.
Maybe I have misunderstood a step in the process or something like that but I am not sure.
If you have a thread I can look at or some steps to follow and try that would be great.
Thank you,
Falcondown01
Good catch muhff! Maybe he should just flash ROMs via fast boot huh? I've already suggested that. Lol

Remember the "adb" and "fastboot" you had to use on your computer to unlock bootloader? Boot your phone into recovery, wipe cache, delvik, data, and system partitions. Pick the zip you want to install and transfer the "boot.img" from inside the zip to the folder on your computer containing adb/fastboot. (Clockworkmod recovery has a "mount usb" function that allows you to trasnfer files in recovery.) Once you finish installing the zip of the rom in recovery go back into the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) cmd then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"(without quotes) then reboot and give it a few minutes, first boot is always the longest.

The boot.img can always be found in either the root of the zip or in one of the folders like "boot" or 'kernel". If you need anything else feel free to ask, and happy pattys day mate :beer:

Finally found the thread. Section 4 is where you want to be right now but it all has useful information, trust me :good:
It says most roms have a function of auto installing the boot.img, this is true in the case that the phone is "s-off (security off)" which in fact you are not. But dont worry, im also s-on and have installed atleast 15 roms from this forum just experimenting with things. Once you do it a few times it takes about 5 minutes. Its usually a good idea to create a backup in recovery, only thing you'll have to do is flash the boot.img from the rom in the backup. Say you made a backup of "moonraker" but just installed "aospx" rom. When you recover from the moonraker backup you'll need to reflash moonrakers boot.img.

Hi Muhff and Chrisb,
So here is where I am at. I have tried the "fastboot" but it is always waiting for the device so not sure what is going on there.
1. Boot your phone into recovery, wipe cache, delvik, data, and system partitions. - Did this.
2. Pick the zip you want to install and transfer the "boot.img" from inside the zip to the folder on your computer containing adb/fastboot. - Did this.
Clockworkmod recovery has a "mount usb" function that allows you to transfer files in recovery.
3. Once you finish installing the zip of the rom in recovery. - Did this.
4. go back into the bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) cmd. - Did this and boot loader rebooted fastboot USB.
5. then type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"(without quotes) - Did this at bootloader screen (should I be in another state on the phone? Just stays at waiting for device.
6. then reboot and give it a few minutes, first boot is always the longest. - Did not achieve.
Thanks again,

Hi Chrisb,
Yeah the adb devices works but fastboot devices never sees the phone. So it has to be either and issue with a driver and or phone issue. Cant tell which one yet but going to keep trying.
Thanks again,
Falcondown01
Hm, that's fishy. I'd call it something with the drivers. Or are you missing the actual "fastboot" file from the adb folder on your PC?

After installing this, add a short cut on your desktop of the .exe of minimal adb and fast boot. That way u can right click it again and select open file location. There u can copy and paste your zips u wanna flash via fastboot

Hi Chrisb andMuhff,
Guys thanks for all your help. Finally found the issue. Although I had loaded drivers before whenever I would change it from HBOOT to FASTBOOT with usb cable connected I would get a "dun dun dun" noise instead of the normal connected or disconnected noise. Anyway I decided to take a second look and found under the hardware devices that indeed the drivers did were not loaded and I had an exclamation point on the android 1.0 device.
So long story short I loaded the drivers, went back and did the procedure again that hadn't worked before and then WOO HOO great joy. It worked and I am now running aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD.
Thanks again for all your help and time!!!!!!!!!

Are you running a stock ROM or one of the variations of stock?
---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:49 PM ----------
....I'd say with S-On And bootloader locked, you are. The boot.img you're PROBABLY looking for is in the "Blue6IX" Thread in my signature. About halfway down post #1 & you'll find the retail stock images. That sounds mostly likely where you're at.
So I'm helping this guy out to run an ruu...he has locked the bootloader and every time he tries to do it it says connection not there between the phone and the computer but its obviously connected...is there any way to go out of this situation....do we need s-off to type "fastboot oem unlock"?
Try re-installing HTC Sync, and try a different USB port. Try a different cable also, but its usually the drivers or USB port.
You don't need S-Off to unlock the bootloader. That would defeat the purpose of having a bootloader unlock. We don't currently have S-Off on this device, either.
Run the ruu while booted into fastboot
The ruu.exe should detect it and start
Or you could try fastboot oem rebootruu

I think it is detecting the device. I was wondering cause it gets to the end and says check the connection. That maybe its the wrong ruu?

How do you know its detecting (talking to) the device? If the person has adb, they can check easily with the command "adb devices". In any case, re-installing HTC Sync and trying a different USB port certainly won't hurt anything, might work, and it would at least eliminate those as the cause. The drivers (HTC Sync) is the most common cause for RUU not running (aside from not relocking the BL).
Wrong RUU doesn't give a connection error, it gives a version error.

The correct command is:
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
I recently used the Exploit and All-in-One Toolkit with varied success. I was able to get my token, but this where things got weird.
1. The file from HTC comes in as a VLC file. I use Chrome and my local broadband service as my email. I'm not able to save it to a folder. I still was somehow able to unlock the bootloader as it says ***TAMPERED*** and ***UNLOCKED***
2. I try to use the tool to flash TWRP and my command seems to go through, but the phone never reboots itself it just stays at the fastboot. I found out later, while chosing recovery that it did somehow flash it, but i'm not able to backup anything.
3. I'm unable to send Superuser thru to perm root. It keeps telling me device not connected in ADB.
I guess my question is where is the error coming from on my side. Should I set back to stock and start over and if so how? My last phone was an HTC Inspire which I rooted and constantly swapped roms, radios, kernels, so this isn;t my first rodeo. I'm basically looking to root to future use as right now I'm not looking at roms, but would love to get the ATT crapware off the phone. The phone is operating fine since my attempt so any info would be great.
I posted in the all=in=one section, but haven't had any responses.

So I took the 4.3 OTA (like an idiot) and Saferooted. All has worked very well. No custom ROMs etc, just few root-authorized apps (TBU etc.)
Last night in the dead of night I decided to factory reset my phone and let my wife use the phone for a bit (she is thinking about switching from her iPhone). So I backed up with TBU then wanted to back up a Nandroid with CWM. I used ROM Manager to update to the latest version of CWM then asked to reboot into recovery.
Here is where the problems begin. When the phone went to boot into recovery the phone says in small red letters 'SECURE FAIL: KERNEL'. Then in a large warning 'System software not authroized by verizon has been found on you phone. Please turn off you phone and go to the nearest Verizon Wireless store for help.'
What are my options to move forward? I saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2581166 but that specifically references hard bricked phones. Is that what I have?
I feel like if I could boot into the ROM I would be okay as that is stock, but the phone keeps trying to boot into recovery. Just before the unauthorized warning I see the small blue letter saying 'RECOVERY BOOTING'
I feel like an idiot. In my late night haze I totally forgot that this phone is all locked up. I have been messing about with several phones (installing ROMs and recoveries etc.) that I totally forgot that this phone does not have a custom recovery because of this exact issue.
Any advice? Thanks!
Well, I must not have searched before my first post adequately because, as expected there are several posts about this issue. All basically amount to Odining stock 4.3 onto the phone. Problem is I cannot find stock 4.3 anywhere. Links seem to be broken. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Perfect. Thanks for the link, not sure why it didn't come up in my searches
So my phone got stuck in a boot loop after setting a custom font in ifont and rebooting. I have been trying for literally 4 hours to get the LG PC Suite to work so that I can unroot and hopefully get my phone to boot. Well I have tried EVERYTHING. Uninstalled and reinstalled the suite several times, unplugged and replugged in the phone from both the computer and phone end. Tried different USB ports, a different USB cable. Uninstalled and reinstalled device drivers. NOTHING WORKS. It downloads all the drivers fine EXCEPT for the Android MTP Device driver, which I'm assuming is the issue. For the love of god HOW do I get it to work? I was really banking on this method because I do not have a custom recovery or backup of my system (since it's not currently possible) and don't want to lose my data. Or is there another reliable method that works without the loss of data? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure I can help at all, but can you boot your phone into the recovery or download mode? Maybe you could adb pull from your phone to get data. I know it's in a bootloop but maybe it only Loops when it attempts to load os

Hey, it's the thought that counts. The fact that you're even trying to help is greatly appreciated, so thank you =] I can get into recovery but the only option it gives me is to do a factory reset, which I don't want to do at all but definitely not before unrooting the device first. Don't want to cause any more problems. I don't really know much about ADB, I read a little about it earlier but to my understanding to use it as a method it has to be preinstalled prior to bootloop or bricking. And I have never installed it. Maybe I read something wrong, so correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I got from it. I have been at this all day. I am going crazy without my phone! =[ lol
Ok, follow this link. Read direction, then once you've done that come back and ask follow up questions. Adb doesn't get installed on the phone at all. I would do an adb pull and pull my data for backup, then wipe phone and start over. But let's see if we can't avoid wipe.
