No matter what I do, and I did a lot Savory, rumrunner invariably plays games with me and comes up with its "FATAL" message. No matter the computer, no matter the USB cable used, no matter what kernel or whatever else I use, there is NO WAY this god damn phone will cooperate.

And before I'm told that's because of a network/firewall/AV issue, please know that this was done on a fresh install of W7 specifically done for this purpose, with no trace of A/V and all firewalls turned off.

Chugging this phone as far as I can suddenly becomes a totally acceptable outcome.
[HTC Desire 601] Savory:
Connect your phone to Wifi, or 3G, 4G.

Your phone must download package on rumrunner.us

Trying to solve DNS (rumrunner.us) from the phone.
[HTC Desire 601] TopperCNC:
I really don't want to sound cynical Savory, but.......seriously?

I appreciate the help and all that, I really do, but this is like asking me if I grabbed my car keys before leaving for work this morning.

Obviously the phone has access to the Internet, it could download the entire world wide web if it wanted to.

Remember I S-OFF'ed my M8 without any problems whatsoever, so I do have a clue what I'm doing.

You and another user are very lucky it worked for you, but [MENTION=4857886]Hedied4me[/MENTION] also experienced the same thing I do, so I'm not the only one for whom the process doesn't work.

Still, I want to thank you for your time even though it didn't work.

Cheers!

Well, in the end it took the power of Linux to get me what I wanted, but I have it: Desire 601 now S-OFF!

Thanks to everyone involved (you know who you are!)

Can now resume normal life with S-OFF phone ;)
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Glad to see you got it working. Mind saying what steps you took. Were you root, bootloader unlocked, unsecured kernel, on wifi or 3g?

I'd like to do a backup and try again after an RUU. I too think ill try from a different network. Unfortunately all I have access to would be coffee shops. Not sure what their network security is like. Unfortunately no access to linux, but suppose I could try installing on my laptop.

[HTC Desire 601] TopperCNC:
Alright [MENTION=4857886]Hedied4me[/MENTION], here's what ended up working for me

1) Phone was rooted with auto-grant permission, connected to WiFi, no screen lock, screen timeout set to 10 minutes, unsecured kernel from [MENTION=362490]Savory[/MENTION], unlocked bootloader from HTCDev, custom recovery TWRP by [MENTION=4402223]mrplowdan[/MENTION]

2) used OEM USB cable in a front USB port on my computer, Internet access by a wired connection from my router (Netgear WNDR3700)

3) Used 32bits Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS on a live USB drive, installed adb/fastboot from a script and tested to see if working

4) Used rumrunner universal 0.5.0 from a superuser Ubuntu terminal window

Everything else wouldn't work, but this did! Hopefully it works for you too!

Keep us updated!

In a nutshell, you'll need to use TWRP custom recovery provided by [MENTION=4402223]mrplowdan[/MENTION], because it's compatible with KK's partition layout. Once that's done, download his TWRP backup of the /system partition along with the MD5 checksum file, put both on a FAT32 microSD card and insert this into your phone.

Reboot into recovery, restore from [MENTION=4402223]mrplowdan[/MENTION] 's backup and you should be up and running. It worked for me!

Idk if I should root or wait for the 4.4 update. Looking at All these preinstalled apps is getting on my nerves lol
[HTC Desire 601] fabulous69:
right now, you can't remove them, even with root, as we have write protection

So it could only help you for modding stuffs or install some apps, but u are not allowed to free the system partition yet. What i can suggest you is to freeze the apps you dont use, at least they will not launch in the background, synchronize or eat RAM memory.
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
I believe it is possible to remove them but through the aroma file manager via recovery.

It's how i was able to install the dsp manager and rename the "Mobile ID" thing that comes with virgin mobile phones and disable it.

#EDIT

Anyone know of a way to be able to select which dsp manager you want to use?

I know that in ICS there's a way to change it via settings but the HTC phones dont seem to even have this settings. Was thinking of finding a stock android settings.apk but i dont know if it would work...
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
It's possible to delete everything you want within the recovery (aroma file manager or twrp file manager).

As for the 4.4 update, I don't think it will come officially soon, sadly :(
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
A few pages back a link was posted about our phone getting 4.4 in the first quarter of 2014.

Yeah, just found this article. I hope we'll be gettin it soon and its your choice if you wanna wait, personally I like it when my phone is clean and tweaked. We can still install the kitkat when its ready :)

rumrunner goes through about to or three loops before i get need root or unsecure kernel tried moto chopper thats a no go but did work on zte supreme 1st try any time I fastboot any img's that have been posted havent worked any luck with root yet 601 devunlocked oh btw think the mottochopper and supersu binariers were problem
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I hope by the time the kit kat update comes out we'll have cyanogen mod by then. Will be a real bummer if we have to wait longer than that.

On a side note, how do we petition XDA to get our own section for the desire 601?

How do I use the aroma file manager? I tried selecting it while in recovery however nothing happened. I too need to rename the Mobile ID veal.

Sounds like you have a bootstrap/loader with no where to go and need to get/split the second partition out of a recovery or other image and flash it over.

[HTC Desire 601] ct760ster:
@desire601ul

My suggestion could be totally contraintuitive, but given the almost unusable state your device being now, why not restore into stock with a RUU even if not the same carrier, because the designation UL I think is unlocked, and from the previous version of JB try to reenanct the procedure and check where everything went wrong. Here are the link that I pickup the information.

Just drop me line and let me now if that was useful. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Desire 601] Desire601ul:
So I need to be S-OFF allright

and then i can istall this roms
[HTC Desire 601] conductive:
When you flash an image to a place with dfferent size partitions what typically happens is that the boot partition appears to flash but the system seems to fail and dd will not poduce an error. The second flash usually works.

I am not sure but I think that all of your firmware, keys ect are In the system partiton and not the boot partiton so you really need to look at your .img files and find your backup with the system on it. You then need to figure out which recovery is able to properly flash it for you.

There is a reason why I want to get away from unknown windows programs and simply work with the proper *ux commands for a *ux device.
[HTC Desire 601] ct760ster:
@desireul601

If you can find a RUU executable for your device you don't have to be S-off to be able to restore to a stock rom, because I think the RUU's came from source like technical support tools issued from htc but not available in the open to the public. I have tried to search for a compatible RUU for the zara_ul to no avail, only I found one available for the zara_cl which I do not recommend flashing because of the different modems. In case the twrp recovery is unable to flash your phone without a S-off there is the other recovery from philz's which is a modified clockworkmod for you to try. That's all I can phantom to help you. Cross your fingers and best regards.
[HTC Desire 601] conductive:
If the man dfference between ul and cl is the modem would flashing the baseband fix compatibility issues?

looking at the /etc in jmz stock rooted Odex-VM it would appear that the conection is running ppp so this is just old modem connection and it is extremely possble that it would not even need a password.

When I look at vold.fstab I see some mountng informaton that could also be useful and the /bin has many programs for working with partitions.

^^^ Not 100% sure but I think running the jellybean RUU will bring you back if you don't like kitkat; and then you could restore a backup. But like mentioned before, an RUU will delete anything installed and make your phone 100% stock. Can't tell you how many times on various phones I flashed something stupid and never made a backup.

If people here didnt help you to buy the phone, then maybe we simply can't. This true is a budget phone, but blind paying for something isn't something I see right and actually something I cant afford. Moreover, asking for this kind of help isn't really in the spirit of xda, here everyone do whatever he can with whatever he have, in my opinion at least. We, the zara users, will be very very thankful for anything you do, maybe some will want to donate even, but for now I dont see this happening. I pm'ed you asking to help you with anything for the IC for zara_ul - system files, testing, logcat, whatever else you need, but you didn't respond and that's all I can help you, sorry.

Well the only device that will get a fully working InsertCoin is Zara_CL when they release KitKat for it because it's the device I own...so I will be releasing for CDMA users only.. And as our teams rules no one can take our Rom modify it and release for another phone without our permission otherwise it's kanging and xda isn't kind to that. So sorry UL users. You'll have to wait till I can buy the device, but my next device I'm buying is a m7. The reason I asked if people would donate is so I can by the UL too because I know everyone wants sense 6 and IC. And I won't do it blindly.
