    Root return to stock? rom, s-off, not rooted

    Wife wants me to sell my inspire to her friend who wants it back stock/not rooted. Someone told me on another forum that running the ruu from htc.com/us would do it all no problem. But I look at the instructions for that and it says you need to put the phone in htc sync mode when you plug in...

    if you lockup, instead of a battery pull, try this key combo

    both vol keys and power all 3 held down for a few seconds, should restart it. I saw this on xda as part of a discussion about the one x and how one would reset it if it locked up since it has a non-removable batt. I gave it a try on the inspire and it works, it will reboot it with the os...

    Root Does clockwork recovery rely on a functional /boot?

    If you screw up your /boot flashing a rom or something can you still get to bootloader then recovery with your phones bootloader hot key combo? I thought I read somewhere that clockwork doesn't really have its own kernel and needs /boot to load 1st, that true? I rooted my phone pretty much just...

    It's in the Desire HD android dev section on xda. edit here: [ICS][Alpha 2][Devs only] ICS for Desire HD | Alpha build is online | Source port - xda-developers I only ran it for about 10-15 mins before flashing back to cm7. Mobile data doesn't work, they say wifi does but I have no wifi...

    thrill has fm radio hw inside, needs sw to work, here's the sw.

    I've heard it rumored before this phone has an fm tuner built in just not enabled. I saw this on xda just last night, it's true! You just have to install these things (in the order he says) reboot* and turn on bluetooth before starting the fm radio app. once it's tuned in and working you can...

    Root HTC fastboot? not the usb flashing thing

    On the stock rom there was a feature called fast boot that; if I'm correct in my assumption, worked probably somewhat like windows hibernate and just saved ram to disk. I don't use the stock rom and probably never will use a sense rom, if I'm right about how that works, is there a separate...

    on another board: "ICS might not have adobe flash"

    I saw someone post on awful forums android thread that flash support was removed from honeycomb when it got a hw accelerated browser, he's saying he thinks this might mean ICS (being hw accelerated and partially honeycomb inspired) won't have flash support. I really find it hard to believe...

    Help What % charge does your light change orange to green?

    My charge light is changing from orange to green when the batt gets to about 90% charge on cm7. To those of you who have some type of 1% battery charge view, when does your green light come on? on the stock rom? others? I've cleared my battery stats after installing cm7 by waiting until...

    microusb cable with glowing tip?

    I remember some of the old usb a-b cables like you'd use for a printer you could get a glowing tip (b) on some special brand. (I never saw the point back then, cause who's hooking up a scanner/printer/wtfever in the dark?) This would completely be BFA if I could get a glowing microusb plug...

    Root clearing battery stats/re-calibrating? get to 0% with netflix?

    I've noticed some charging weirdness ever since flashing cm (light went green at 90% once and another time it went 90-100% in just a few mins where normally that's the slowest part.) I've cleared my battery stats with the "batterycalibration" tool someone on xda made, in the market. I charged...

    HTC people, what do I lose and miss switching to CM?

    I have a list of pros and cons in my head of switching over to cyanogen on my inspire. The pros are starting to add up and it's getting close to time. So far my only cons are: I lose the time wheels for setting appt times and alarms. This is just one of a very few things I can think of I...

    Help Virtual SD vs. _external sd?

    My wife just got a thrill last week and something I'm not understanding about it. In the SD and phone storage settings page it shows a "phone storage" of about 5gb with 4gb free. It shows sd storage as 7.xxgb free (nothing used) It shows system storage of like 500mb free. Phone...

    Battery statistics view? the pink bar-graphs?

    I use free version of battery monitor widget and it used to have a "statistics" button that would take you to this screen with pink bar-graphs showing what apps had used the most cpu or what apps had wake-locked the most or what had used network the most. (not the battery usage screen) After an...

    Netflix/gingerbread?

    My wife just got a thrill yesterday, it's BFA! I loaded the netflix 1.3 apk on it but it doesn't work. I know the 1.3 is supposed to work on a lot of phones that aren't officially supported by netflix but I think I've heard they pretty much have to be GB os for it to work. (1.3 worked for me...

    why is android so power efficient vs. winmo?

    I'm a longtime winmo guy at work and in my personal life, my favorite winmo phone was my samsung blackjack II. BJ2 was my fav because of the form factor and I didn't like the touchscreen/pro devices I had or worked with. It was mostly the OS, MS made it so much easier w/o a touchscreen. I'm...

Laptop would get stolen, even at a courthouse here and mine...

    Heard this on another board. It didn't show in the market for me so I guess I'm not officially supported (stock non root inspire) but I found an apk on xda and it's working great. Here's a link to xda, 1.3 is today's new ver. the thread is for a modded version that adds auto-rotation but...

    "maps" in battery usage, gps time?

    So I don't use maps except maybe every couple weeks. Most every day I see maps in the battery usage thing, no huge use of battery like some are complaining of (still it shows up there and games I play don't always unless I play for a while) It always shows 2-6 mins of gps use, unless i disable...
