    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    Working netflix for non-root inspire!

    Netflix apparently did some updates adding support for a lot more phones, not us, so it's not official for us, not showing in the market but you can download the apk from xda and it works!

    1a charging vs. slow charging?

    I really like my 1a chargers at home, work and in my truck for a quick boost, but I have a question. I found some microusb chargers at work (I think came with moto bt earpieces) that are only 200ma, less than half of usb and they do seem to charge my inspire. Would using one of these at night...
