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

[PrestonTucker]

Hey guys and gals, I just got my new Inspire two two weeks ago, swapped form my iPhone 4. I had the iphone jailbroken and bypassed the tethering lock on the software. I if I am curious, if I root my inspire, can I bypass the tethering lock like on the iPhone. And of course, being a noob, what does the root do to help?

I doubt it would be possible to tether now that AT&T has set restrictions for those caught tethering with the phone rooted or not.

 

[PrestonTucker]

I'm not so sure about it, because I told the guy sat the At&t store that I bypassed it when I had my iPhone, and my monthly data rates were around 100GB a month. They never really cared.

so I have my phone rooted and I'm running cm7 but my upload speed still sucks I'm getting about 100kbps upload while download is 2000kbps, does that mean the network upload sucks or something is wrong, should I try a different rom

 

[homescrub]

Well I rooted my phone, and got rid of my bloatware, now, i don't know what else to do. Bored now, lol.

Yeah, there is a thread over at XDA Developers where they have instructions on how to change one of the settings on your phone where you change the coding. Had to be done with a file editing program: Editing the build.prop for faster data speeds - xda-developers

I haven't done it yet because it just seems too technical for me, and time consuming. Good luck!

Re-install HTC Sync and that should clear it up.

Greeting, Not to hijack a thread or get yelled at I though here would be the best place to post.... I have read over the bubby323 once click root thread quite a few times and studied the F.A.Q link religiously... My problem is when the phone starts looking for the PD98IMG.zip it says the file is not found or the image in corrupt. So I started the process over after making a new gold card and putting the file on it. Someone please point me in the right direction. I love these forums and the knowledge base seems endless.

Inspire 4G Rooting question

If you root the Inspire and install a custom ROM but would like to go back to stock is there a way to do that yet on this phone?

 

[stroja62]

is there a way to add speed to a rooted phone without adding a ROM

 

[elysenator]

when the phone starts looking for the PD98IMG.zip it says the file is not found or the image in corrupt.

I'm having this exact same problem. Road block! I'm usually pretty good with the techy stuff...i'm starting to get a complex. :'(

 

[elysenator]

Success! finally! I just re-installed and uninstalled sync and used an old 2GB SD card i had kickin around as my gold card. Third time is the charm i guess.

 

[kennysaur]

Eventually, a one click method will come out.

That, im waiting for xD
Is this method outdated?

 

[bklizard]

I can't gain any USB functionality since the phone did an update software 1.84.502.11 for AT&T they fudged it up so you can't sync or do anything like adp... DAMN THEM! (that's when you put it in debug mode... which is also require for all the hacks including the "one click"...)

I need some help her people. When i try to root my phone. I get al the way to the part of getting the downgraded rom on my phone then i open up terminal emulator and type in /data/local/tmp/rage and nothing happens. Any thoughts?

 

[tepeee]

great job

 

[Staticpunk84]

So im guessing this is the newest way to root the inspire (5/23/11) cause Im getting one today Finally! =) but I also looked up vids about rooting and I seet z4 mods and OneClick. Also the main post on this has the video and when you watch it it says this is OUTDATED click for new hack kit and then it brings you to the xda site for the new kit. Then do you watch that video so you can see how to hack it cause the xda site for the new kit does not have the video

oh it was so much easier to jailbreak iphone. sigh.

I CONCUR!! And I want to root my phone but it seems so much more difficult

 

[Jay20]

so I "upgraded" to build number 1.84.... is the rooting method the same? Now that I got the HSUPA, I'm thinking about re-rooting and installing the newest version of CM of I can get it to actually be faster and get better battery, which didn't happen last time.
