Stuck at the HTC screen guy?

I had the same issue, Long story short I had to flash another rom in fastboot.

PM me, if you need me help I'll be glad to walk you through this.

for now, here are the roms you can save your arse with:

Also, I had issues with the deodexed roms. Use the odexed rom.

many thanks..but the link you gave above seem to be that of zara_cl I am on htc 601 dual sim (zara_dug) will it help?

Fastboot and roms

OOps, well I have the CDMA Zara_cl .... Do a bit more digging around that site. I think there is a dual sim zara rom there as well.

The easiest way to load a rom image outside of recovery (philz is causing issues for some reason) is to rename the image 0P4EIMG , and put it on the root of your SD card. Then boot your phone into fastboot/bootloader. I think i had to toggle bettween the two once before my phone found the image and start loading it. Hopefully the dual sim zara looks for the same file name as the VM zara.

This method is much easier that trying to send and flash the file via fastboot (IMO).

Here are flashboot commands:

http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/714676-list-fastboot-command.html

Don't muck with these though. Use them carefully. You can REALLY mess things up.
[HTC Desire 601] gaaalooo:
Hi guys, I tried to root my Desire 601 UL yesterday but I couldn't reach my goal. It is the first time I try to root a phone and I spent days reading this whole topic and searching on google to understand how does it work and how to achieve it but I still have a lot of doubts and the fact that I've encountered some errors proves it.

Here's what I've done:

- Unlocked the bootloader from HTCDEV;

- Uninstalled HTC Sync but not the HTC drivers from pc;

- Unlocked the development options in the general settings and enabled "debug USB";

- Flashed the philz's recovery from adb with "fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.12.8-zara.img";

- Rebooted and entered the recovery to install the SuperSU zip from sd.

When I entered recovery I encountered the following errors:

PhilZ Touch 6

CWM Base version: v6.0.4.6

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_install

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_install

And everytime I click on the "back" button in the recovery those notices are displayed. SuperSU technically doesn't give me any problem during installation of the zip file, but when I turn the phone on "SuperSU" obviously doesn't work and "Root Checker Basic" says that the phone is not rooted.

I tried flashing the other phil's recovery (philz_touch_6.08.7-zara) but nothing has changed. I also tried to wipe the cache and Delvik cache from recovery and nothing changed. The phone works, that's not the problem. The problem is I am not able to gain root and I think is because of those notices, I have no idea what I have to do now to achieve that. I am not interested in flashing different ROMs or anything complicated, just gain root. I'm S-ON and I have the label TAMPERED upon the UNLOCKED one, from what I unterstand it's not a problem if I just want to gain root.

To be thorough I post all the information I have:

ZARA_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.22.0000

RADIO-1.27.40e-00-11

OpenDSP-v18.2.0268.0925

OS-2.14.401.6

If anyone can help me please post or contact me, I would really appreciate that.

rom

Hello everyone :)

I have rooter 601 with 4.4.2 stock rom.

There are two major problems that I have with this confiugration:

- from time time the "android system process" has high cpu usage

and if I cannot see that on time, it draws the battery for 1-2 hours. The

only way is to kill the process which actually reboots the phone.

- other problem is that most of the times when i reboot the phone

the wifi icon stuck on "turning on wifi"

The only way to resolve this is to power off the phone, remove the sd

card and power it again or in settings - storage - unmount sd card

than reboot again.

Can u suggest me if there are different kernel or rom's that I can try for

this phone?

Am I the only one with that kind of problems?

I try several time hard reset (after that restore with titanium) but the problems

are still there

Best Regards

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

I have tried this, but it doesn't works. My problem is that my phone 'doesn't have any data space' and I have made all wipes and clear everything, but it doesn't matter I always have '0 M' and that's make that when I have to instal a rom or to restore the backup, it always fails in the same and says:

E:Unable to mount ' /cache'

E:Unable to mount ' /data'

E:Unable to mount internal storage

I have tried everything that I could make, but anything works. Could you help me?

I will really thank you, if someone could help.

My phone is HTC Desire 601 (CL)
[HTC Desire 601] jwlawhorn:
Make sure you're using the correct version of TWRP for the firmware you have, I got those "unable to mount" errors when trying to use the Jelly Bean version of TWRP AFTER I upgraded using the OTA KitKat update that was pushed out. I'd wager this is what you're running into, or the exact opposite. (i.e. using the KitKat version on an un-upgraded JB firmware)

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 PM ----------

The stuck turning on wifi deal, I have not yet found a 100% reliable software fix. I've tried all of the Kernels/roms. Every time I think I've found a solution, it happens again. I can make it go away for a long time by using TWRP to make a nandroid backup, but frankly it might just be a coincidence. Wonder if it's somehow unexpectedly related to TWRP. You are not alone.

Power usage. Switching to InsertCoin made everything better rom-wise, use one of the (3 or so) kernels the dev's have posted here, they all offer good performance and neat feature tweaks.
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
My Wi-Fi keeps getting stuck turning on too. Seems like it happened after I flashed twrp. But xWhopper's kernel let's the Wi-Fi at least come on.
[HTC Desire 601] Sanro Thodi:
Thanks for answer. I have tried what you said me and I changed my recovery to Jelly Bean version of CWM (I didn´t find a version of TWRP). Then I flashed the rom, but it doesn't workit says the same "Can not mount /data", I went to Advanced in my recovery and I've tried to mount it, but it always says the same error. After then, I tried again to flash the rom, and it worked, but when I rebooted the phone, it goes in to a boot-loop. I tried to install with the KitKat recovery (TWRP) and with the Jelly Bean (CWM) the both roms, a KitKat rom and a Jelly Bean rom, both officials, but it doest'n work. Then I have seen the rom "Insert Coin", but it doesn't work either.

I don't know what to do, could you help me?

The principal problem is thaat my phone don't recognice my internal storage, so it doesn't recognize internal storage for "/data" and "/system", but I think, sistem wouldn't be the problem, cause I can install a rom, but the problem is that when I reboot, it can not save my data, so it gets in boot-loop.

I don't know if it is the problem or not, but if someone could help me, I will be really thankfull.

Thanks in advance.

Well I reflashed the stock boot and recovery, relocked bootloader and it just kicks me into bootloader everytime with tampered, relocked and security warning. I unlocked bootloader and restarted the process this time following the revone directions and before rebooting the tampered disappeared and bootloader just showed relocked. Once I reboot it starts kicking me back into the bootloader with tampered, relocked and security warning showing again.
[HTC Desire 601] Unjustified Dev:
I can do it later and add init.d support from cm
[HTC Desire 601] fabulous69:
that would be sweeet !

With this write protection off, adios bloatware and **** stuffs ^^
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
I think you don't understand bro.

Insecure boot.img will give you the ability to use adb shell command (which is different from root).

The write protection is in the kernel itself, and can be turned off only if we have the kernel source and we compile it with the protection flag off, or with a module that some people developed. But as soon as we don't have the kernel sources, and the module need some coding to work with our device, we can't turn off the write protection now. However, the write protection is working in a way, that only changes made in the android system are reversed. So if you make changes via recovery, fastboot, or adb when in bootloader, the changes stick. If you want to debloat the phone, install custom recovery and use aroma file manager to delete whatever you want.

However, init.d support would be cool Unjustified Dev ;d
[HTC Desire 601] standak14:

I think, possibly, you have zara_cl and the zip to flash in recovery was made for zara_ul?

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:21 PM ----------

should probably post this kind of information with MODS that you wish to share

i.e.

MOD bla bla bla

zara_ul software version bla bla bla,

and readers, do a little bit of searching before flashing....open the zip, read the updater-script, read information about the sharer of the MOD and see what country they are from, what code name their device is.....and if you can't find any information.....ask before flashing
[HTC Desire 601] standak14:

Just download TWRP from the post in the original development section of the 601 forum. Flash via fastboot. Command is "fastboot flash recovery xxxxx.img" replace the x's with whatever you name the recovery file. Then boot into TWRP by selecting recovery from boot loader screen. Then choose reboot into system, at which point it will notify you that you aren't rooted and will ask if you want to root. Choose yes. When it finishes you may have to update SuperSU and binaries.

these are a requirement, and with good reason.. no alterations.. nice and tight.. well setting a root is fine..

clean code please.. tight code no open holes..

we don't need code looking for something that's not there, giving us a Jitter ROM

hence no Ports.. fresh build..

pull hardware out of this ROM for the build-

STOCK_ODEX_ROOT_HTC_ZARA_UL_601_1.10.41.8_DOWNGRADE_to_4.2.2_hboot_2.22_v.1.0.1

please remember internal sd is existing hardware, set partitions correctly please..

if anyones upto the task.. let me know...

I'd like to have some submissions to choose from, but the 1st submission that has this ROM tight to hardware gets the 100 bucks..

this ought to be interesting... the Bell has rung, timer is running..
