I cant understand one thing. What im supposed to do with the boot.img which is in the .zip? Do i need to extract and flash it using a PC or it will be installed with the zip. I just dont want to brick my device.

Just flash in recovery
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
any one in need of updates?? :D

anyone brave enough to be a guinea pig??

Need CWM for zara dug please!!

Please help me get a CWM recovery for my HTC 601 (dual sim) zara dug. None of them seem to be working. Please!!!
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
updates :D

zara ul

zara cl

- EXFat support(kindly test and provide feedback..)

- GPU Boost(boost not OC..)

- CPU OC(experimental so if you experience any instability please use stock clocks..)

- A few patches to vmalloc from LGE

- Writeback updates etc etc.......

Feel free to give feedback(PM me).. :D
[HTC Desire 601] Akishima:
waw this device truly need its own section now.

thanks for this updates dude, but how to use it? flash in recovery? what will the patches do?

sorry for questioning this.
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Flash the zip in recovery and it's a super smooth kernel so far!! I think the GPU boost is making the biggest difference everything just seems smoother.

No CWM for HTC dual sim (Zara dug)

Guys, please help me to find the proper CWM for zara dug ...nothing is working for me;(
[HTC Desire 601] David Roid:
I have tried both 1.16 and 1.18 images from RUU for custom build CWM recovery, nothing works. My guess, uneducated though, is that HBOOT for zara dug is new (3.80) and possible more protective, it's probably not seen in non-dual sim devices yet.

HTC has always been pricy against same-spec phones and a PITA against root/soff. So be a man, do le light ding - just throw HTC away...
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
welcome.. :D

nope no need for patches..those were the stuff that i updated to satisfy you users.. :D next update more RAM.. :D

note: i would like to ask for help if you can assist me in getting the device..a cheaper/broken one will do as i just need it for testing nothing more.. :D

Well since there are no custom roms for this phone yet, I am going take it upon myself to create one similar to the one I made for myself back in the day I had my Vivid. Im planning features like integrating themes, a custom DSP (haven't decided yet), Advanced reboot menu, and a desense option. If anyone wants to help, that would be great, i'm completely new to sense 5 ;)
[HTC Desire 601] TheXaXo:
It didnt work. I guess its a bug in the kernel. Is there a problem if I install another kernel over this one?

zara cl

hi

I just bought htc zara cl from usa from alltel and just have rooted it.

Now I have unlocked and tampered signs on bootloader

This phone does have a sim card slot and it has bad esn

Is there any chance I could use this phone in europe?

How is it that This Zara cl have a sim card slot?

:confused:
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
The sim card is for 4G LTE
[HTC Desire 601] pawelan:
Can it also be used for gsm phone calls?
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
Reminder:

Everyone who uses my kernel let me advise you to not undervolt too much..i already included a init.d script that undervolts by -75mv..also i disabled the voltage boost function that is used on Krait SOC's(boosts voltage by +25mv on every frequency to retain stability)..so going beyond the safe limits for undervolting might end up unstable on high clocks..i already have plans to release an update in a few days time just fixing stuff for compliance(somebody made a fuss about it).. :D

For those who downloaded thanks for the support.. :D
[HTC Desire 601] fabulous69:
would love a version without overclock by default (stock frequency) as it seems you included it by default :)

Thx for helping us, really appreciate
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
i could release one..with booting stock clocks and the OC clocks just left out for use on OC..nonetheless they wont be used if not in OC..for those having frequency not sticking those will be addressed by next update..i forgot 2 patches to solve this and was in a hurry to release the OC because of the demand.. :D my apologies(again) and as i have said i do not own the device so please do not be angry at me.. :D

i went to an HTC branch here in Manila and unfortunately the Dual sim model is the one being sold here(quad-core)..i could play with it though but that just felt stupid as i really want the dual-core version..

edit:

i might reconsider releasing tonight.. :D brb in a jiffy.. :D

edit:

new build updates.. :D

zara_ul

zara_cl

advise:

- on these new builds i have implemented some dynamic cache management based on screen activity..for example the vfs_cache_pressure this is to save some battery..any script that may change the said parameter may cause issues..the same with writeback values..

- undervolt on new release is reduced to -50mv..

- exfat module is loaded automatically on ramfs..

- boots on stock clocks..with OC on standby..

- a few more fine tuning for GPU part..

[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
My frequency is sticking to stock speeds just fine with No frills..

HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
[HTC Desire 601] NeoGraven:
No-frills works great for me as well. 1296max, 384min, on-demand, cfq. Very smooth. If we could get the min cpu down to 192 that would help with battery life as well and not really impact performance in a noticeable way.
[HTC Desire 601] TheXaXo:
Can I install this kernel over the JMZ one and do I need to wipe cache, format or etc.?

Also do I need to be S-OFF in order to flash your kernel?

-TheXaXo
[HTC Desire 601] fabulous69:
EDIT: succeeded to dl UL verson

Same question than above: Im using JMZ kernel adapted by standak14 for s-ON users, can i flash yours above it with a dalvik and cache wipe, and do we need S-OFF?

ps: what app do you recommend to set cpu speed?

Thx for the new version !
[HTC Desire 601] TheXaXo:
It works but the CPU speed is stuck to 1.8 GHz. I just dont want to cook my phone.

-TheXaXo
[HTC Desire 601] NeoGraven:
I'm s-on and it flashed fine. And yes, you need to wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also, use TWRP recovery. Philz CWM may work but I had problems until I switched.

I, as well as several others here, use No-Frills for tweaking our cpu. The default on the ZaraCL is 1404mHz (power save drops it to about 1134)... I'm virgin mobile, btw, don't know if that makes a difference.

Try to start at 1134 (or in that range) and step up until you're happy with the performance. I'm set to 1296mhz max, and am having no problems.

Cheers!
[HTC Desire 601] bcgxiii:
Hi guys I want to root my noir a 10 current version is 4.0.3
[HTC Desire 601] NeoGraven:
One more thing, when using No-Frills CPU, make sure you go in to settings and check "Prevent other applications from changing settings" or your changes will not stay. Also, there is a check box to set your changes on boot.

Cheers!
[HTC Desire 601] TheXaXo:
I scored 19k on Antutu with kairi's kernel. LOL!

-TheXaXo
[HTC Desire 601] fabulous69:
lol if you cpu speed is 1.8..

Cpu frills, no pb at all ! Love it :)

ps: [MENTION=3637908]kairi_zeroblade[/MENTION] what is this governor, msm-dcvs? :)
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Yeah I've had no issues with the CPU speed not sticking to what I set it at using no frills

HTC Desire 601 (Zara_CL)
[HTC Desire 601] TheXaXo:
Yeah now my CPU speed sticks properly. Even at 1.2 GHz everything seems a lot smoother. This kernel is beast so far.

-TheXaXo
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Kernels can just be reflashed over any old one. Don't need to wipe anything
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
adding 192 when using sense based ROM gives a reboot..also as per Qualcomm specs are concerned they do really stick to 384mhz as min frequency..

it boots on stock clocks..i have patched it with the fix for cpu frequency not sticking due to system wide policy implementation..now it will follow what the user sets it..no need to check the option in no-frills to lock down the frequency..

this is not needed in the update.. :D

Thank you.. :D

its qualcomms own Governor.. :D i advise to not touch that as it will cause freezes and reboots..

Thanks again.. :D

advise:

i only use scripts when changing frequency..since now its patched with the fix no need to worry about frequency reverting to highest..

edit:

reading spec sheets from qualcomm this chip can go 2ghz.. :D the thing is if you can keep it cool then that would be possible.. :D the msm8226 can also do 2ghz, its the quad-core version of Snapdragon 400 platform..hmm..
[HTC Desire 601] NeoGraven:
Ah.. I ran my Evo4 4g that way all the time SENSE or no-sense and never had problems, thought it may be the same way with the Zara.
[HTC Desire 601] kairi_zeroblade:
if you are using a custom hotplug other than the mpdecision binary it will cause reboots..if you are using a 3rd party hotplug driver like intelliplug(Faux123) msm mpdecision(showp1984) and the likes lower frequency than 384 is possible..since we are sticking with mpdecision on this release i will not opt to do that..also waking the phone on lower frequency can cause lockups and slowups..nontheless will look into this in the future..

for those who missed the update you can grab it on this previous post.. :D

kindly feedback and feel free to comment..

edit:

- on next update i want to do a DT2W since this is the easiest even doing it blind will work..though i need a tester that can catch with my schedule as i live in a different timezone..(this is the reason why i need you to help me obtain a dual core unit..if you read a page back the Desire 601 here in Manila is the quad-core one..)
[HTC Desire 601] BakedTator:

[HTC Desire 601] sickday:
I could really use some help.

Today I rooted my Zara_cl following what instructions I found scattered throughout this page and all went well until I tried to use rumrunner.us s-off. Like some other people posted (I read their posts after this, unfortunately) I got stuck in a bootloop during pouring 2.

I did not pull the battery, I hit Ctrl-C and killed the process.

Now I'm unable to get past the opening HTC screen (with the note that it's a developer version only. The phone is not s-off.) It's just stuck there on the white screen with green lettered HTC and red text beneath with the developer version notice. When I try to flash the stock rom or the JMZ deodex stock rom, it looks like it begins to extract it, but then the handset reboots immediately, so I'm not able to flash a rom on there and when I quit TWRP, it says there's no OS installed.

I've also tried to do RUU, but when I try, it fails with

% fastboot flash zip OTA_ZARA_CL_JB422_SENSE50_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.10.652.9_R3-1.10.652.6_release_339633.zip

Relock your bootloader and re run the RUU

fastboot oem lock

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 PM ----------

Btw there's a specific file jmz mentioned that u have to delete to get out of the bootloop but you did say your phone shows no OS installed so I suggest u use the RUU to get your phone back.
[HTC Desire 601] jmz:
The file to delete is /system/bin/hcheck and flash the odex ROM. I need to get around to fixing the deodex flashing
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
The boot-looping means that you are S-OFF. So does that red text you mentioned about being for internal use only along with the line I marked in the GETVAR you posted. But yeah as jmz mentioned, you can delete that file and be both (though if you have S-OFF you don't really need unlock, it's just more of a convenience).

After I got S-OFF on mine I relocked and RUU'd to remove all the flags. Then I just flashed jmz's TWRP build though hboot instead of the fastboot flash command.

If you do want to unlock after you RUU, follow the instructions in this thread and it won't wipe your data partition (which includes a few useful apps like voice recorder and calculator). I followed them to make my bootloader say "*** LOCKED ***" instead of "*** RELOCKED ***" (see my post near the end of that thread).

Also a note to all S-OFF Virgin Mobile zara_cl users, I will be posting a hboot without the red text that was made for me soon. I will post it on the board jmz made for us since we don't have our own section, but will also post here with a link when I do.
[HTC Desire 601] sickday:
A million thank yous!

No problem there. Everything got nuked while I was messing with it for hours last night.

I sideloaded the odex rom and that did the trick. Works great! Thanks again. Still not sure what's up with the RUU (wouldn't run even after relocking) but that doesn't matter now because my phone works. :)

Is possible to make the screen with htc logo in black? My eyes will be gratefully with you.
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Not as of yet, but it's super annoying.

You used to be able to change that screen. I don't remember the exact steps involved or know if it's still possible to do on newer phones, but I'm sure there's an old post on here somewhere that could be used to try for our phone. I know it involved creating an image using specific resolution details and giving it a specific name and flashing it to your phone (S-OFF required of course). It's been quite a while and a few phones ago since I tried it.
[HTC Desire 601] Obeezy562:
To get rid of that just reapply the same photo from your gallery to the contact it'll get rid of it for ya
