[Video Tutorial] How To Properly Root Your Inspire 4G

The source code was just released so the wonderful devs at XDA will have more friendly methods to root/custom ROM your device soon. For the Captivate it was a simple zip file to root and a c/p of the rom file to the sdcard and a 1-click method to revert back to stock. It doesn't get much easier than that
That's what someone was working on this week but his thread has been really quiet the past 2 days. Hopefully he gets it going again. I need the one click solution. The hack kit didn't go so well for me.
I also am an iPhone convert. Well I'm getting my Inspire in the mail Monday and I'd like to Root as my iPhone is jailbroken and I really want to root. This all seems so confusing haha and I'm very good at modding my iPhone files/codes. Sigh, the learning curves of new phones lol. Also I'm on a MacBook Pro and live in a Windows-less house so all these directions don't mean much to me. Hopefully a 1-click root comes soon.
The guy working on it on the xda site has the one click method up for download. Do yourself a favor and read the first page posts from him about making your gold card etc. If you get stuck, feel free to post what's going on in that thread. Someone will be able to help you.

I've been monitoring that thread. I get my Inspire today and I will be attempting the GC and root today lol. I enjoy tinkering and hopefully I can figure all this stuff out coming from iPhone. Kinda nervous to try with the chance to ruin my phone but I got to tinker haha.
I've stuckied ( ) this thread for now. When one of you guru's wants to take the reigns with the Inspire root method, give a Mod or admin a holler
) this thread for now. When one of you guru's wants to take the reigns with the Inspire root method, give a Mod or admin a holler yeah, exactly. id like to see the capabilities of rooting, but the one click would be my way of doing it.
Im new to all this rooting stuff can some tell me what is rooting and why would you want to. just asking thanks
At the very top of the page, one of the main sections is "Rooting." http://www.androidcentral.com/root
its simple enough to either if you simply cannot wait for a one click method ADB is the way to go, yeah it might seem a little scary. but if you follow this video step by step you will have your root fill
and its REALLY hard to mess your phone up this way. its as easy as following the directions. custom roming is where you could mess your phone up if you don't know what you're doing
