We don’t need to tell you that you’ll be voiding your warranty by doing so, but there is always the option of reverting to stock if there is ever a need to. Read on then to root and enjoy all the benefits that come with it!!
I. Before You Begin
1. Back up any data you feel is important before proceeding; this could include your contacts (already taken care of if you have synchronized contacts with Google) and texts (SMS Backup+ is a good option).
2. This procedure will turn your SD card into a goldcard, so you may lose all data on your card. Be sure to back up this data in a safe location on your PC.
3. Uninstall [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Sync and any drivers associated with it. You will be installing them while rooting the device.
4. There is a chance that you might lose sound on your Inspire 4G after doing this; this can be rectified with a custom ROM or turning S-OFF. Stop now if you do not want to take this risk.
5. Ensure that you have a stock Inspire 4G that has never been rooted before.
6. You will need Administrative privileges on your Windows PC (XP, Vista or Windows 7), so make sure you are logged in with administrative rights.
