yes my system partition is stock...

sir plz clarify,, u r saying if i have to unlock my bootloader (do root) i have to S-ON first then unlock and then again S-OFF .......or delete the "hcheck" file ....can u guide me how to delete the "hcheck" or i simply delete through esfile explorer .........

sir plz provide me a flashable hboot recovery and kernel ......and plz tell me the procedure to do this ...thnx in advance:D:good:
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
It's probably the one i uploaded to my drive, if so, no SELinux.

However, my tests with the official TWRP 2.7.1.0 I modified have proven successful so far. If it continues there will be SELinux support.
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
Never fails:mad:

Why can't it just update to KitKat like a good lil phone >_<;
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
Maybe with the RUU never fully finishing it's never restocking the device, ill try to fastboot the stock in since i got it unlocked and all

and.... guess i'll see from there

---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

that would explain it!

reinstalled twrp and went to the file manager, system-> bin and... hcheck is no where to be found!

---------- Post added at 01:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 PM ----------

TWRP wont let me install any roms... ugh

must be cause of my hboot being for kitkat now
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
I have something that may help, I don't know.

A long time ago when I made my original system dump another user turned that into a flashable zip, which I still have and am uploading to my drive.

Flash the 0P4EIMG.zip file I gave you again so you hopefully get hboot 2.20.0000

Flash official TWRP from here

flash the system zip from here with TWRP

And then try your luck with the OTA.

EDIT: Took me longer to write this than I thought, as such, file finished uploading much quicker from when hit post. Link is active.

---------- Post added at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 AM ----------

TWRP for the ZARA_CL (possibly ZARA_UL too) KitKat Edition is here, enjoy. :D

Successfully installed the bundled SuperSU

Successfully installed SuperSU binary using TWRP method

Successfully installed BusyBox

Successfully installed Xposed using recovery method

Successfully backed up, wiped, and then restored my phone.
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
Just flashed the system zip.

Should I just run the OTA direct? or should i install 0P4EIMG.zip again to go back to stock recovery?

*edit

going through twrp file manager still dont see hcheck in system/bin

Shouldn't it be there?
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
oh yeah, you want to be stock recovery so do the zip again, sorry. Before you OTA might want to make sure it downgraded your hboot successfully too.
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
I just wanna thank you for all the help you've given (even though no where so far)

is there anywhere i can download the hcheck file to drop into my phone in the right spot in case this last attempt doesn't work?
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
I was gonna say it should be in that zip, but I just double checked and that's only the app and framework directories, not all of /system.

Give me a minute and I'll upload it because you will likely need it. Also tonight I'll make flashable zip of the whole system dump in case the hcheck copy doesn't work.

EDIT: See attached.
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Since your new recovery you said you backed up and restored mind sharing the nandroid?

Or not....
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
well it passed the hcheck check

now it failed at

check /data/preload/PDF_Viewer_F_A.apk failed, error No such file or directory()

Was using one of my old backups since everything kinda went to ****...

Guess ill have to try when i get back home since I have work now x_X well soonish
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Well if we update just firmware, then he provides us a nandroid and use the recovery he restored with then we would be able to boot KK
[HTC Desire 601] tonydd:
If someone just posts a backup of KK minus the data portion, you good could just recovery that backup.
[HTC Desire 601] sickday:
Uploading a backup right now. Might take a while, it's 900MB.
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Thank you.!! And what recovery are you using so we can match the restore method?
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
*currently installing drivers for phone and adb/fastboot on work computer so he doesn't have to wait till he gets home*

[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
Downloading right now

HOPE THIS WORKS!(will find out about 40 min later damn DSL here...)

did you phone have to be relocked on this backup? or does it run fine with s-off and unlocked?
[HTC Desire 601] sickday:
S-OFF and unlocked work together after the update.
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Flash the firmware package found inside the ota package then flash recovery then nandroid
[HTC Desire 601] a7thousandths:
it would be great if somebody could make one thread/post where everybody could refer to for ROMs, kernels, and the works. Like some ultimate threads ive seen on xda before :fingers-crossed:

why doesnt this phone have its own section?!

InsertCoin ( sense 6 ) for Virgin Mobile users - Coming Soon.!!
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
With InsertCoin coming soon, is it worth running the RUU and upgrading via the ota or should I wait? I don't want to have to set my phone back up only to wipe it again for InsertCoin.
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Well with insertcoin your going to be forced into updating firmware by a small simple zip.. then you will be able to install IC.. but yes Rom boots and ril, WiFi, sound, camera, Bluetooth works... But data, sdcard, and many resizing issues still persist... So it's going to be awhile for ic to be released... But I suggest everyone to hound xda for our own forum.
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
TY for the quick replay. I'll run the RUU and do the OTA upgrade tonight. Give me something relaxing to do

Also who do we contact to request our own forum? I'm more than happy to join that cause
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
What did you need from us UL users to get IC working for us again?
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
She needs a UL phone, said she didn't want to work blind
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Correct. :)
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
I'm running into an issue trying to run RUU to get back go stock. When I run the RUU in -Duir-'s GoogleDrive, nothing happens. I'm using RUU_ZARA_CL_JB422_SENSE50_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.10.652.9_Radio_1.14.50.1003_NV_SPCS_5.17_003_PRL55009_release_337148_signed_2.exe

I get no prompts and am brought back to the command line. My phone is in the bootloader and is seen by fastboot. Any ideas?

Edit: Please ignore my post. I made a very dumb mistake. This is what I get for using a VM I haven't touched in years. :silly: Very much wish there was a embarrassed smilie.

Edit 2: Still running into a problem. Whenever I run the RUU, after the phone reboots and shows HTC on a black background the app says there has been an error. Error recovery comes up and tells me to pull the battery and power it back on. It reboots, goes back to homescreen. I try again and the same thing happens. Any ideas of what I need to do? Did I need to relock the bootloader?
[HTC Desire 601] conductive:
Flashing a system partition to an unallocated partition should work without problems.

If the partition is changing during a install or other you may need to remount it.

IE. mount -o remount /
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
After looking into the error code it gave me (155), it seems I'm using the wrong RUU (according to the readme file). I know this isn't the case, but I'm at a loss.

And now I'm boned. flashed stock recovery and tried to run update. Red triangle with exclemation point greeted me. I reflashed the custom recovery and tried to restore from the backup I just made, but I keep getting an error sayiong "Error while flashing boot image". How much did I screw myself over and how much work do I have to do to fix this?
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Is your bootloader locked or unlocked?

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

Yep. No clue why no section yet. Time to post in this thread again.
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
bootloader was unlocked. ATM I'm trying the RUU again. After rebooting it just stays at the white HTC screen. Thankfully I can still get to bootloader. If that doesn't work I'm stuck
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
It needs to be locked when you do the RUU, probably what's causing the error.
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
Bootloader is now locked and I'm running the RUU. Here's hoping

It still errors out even after locking the device. I'm using the following RUU from your google-drive

RUU_ZARA_CL_JB422_SENSE50_Sprint_WWE_VM_1.10.652.9_Radio_1.14.50.1003_NV_SPCS_5.17_003_PRL55009_release_337148_signed_2.exe

The RUU does say I'm on 2.15 if that helps any. Probably not though

---------- Post added at 09:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

I re-unlocked and flashedt the custom recovery. trying to restore from nandroid. Getting wicked jumpy
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
2.15.625.3 is from the KitKat OTA. You would need to downgrade your hboot to run the RUU.
[HTC Desire 601] conductive:
Sounds like the bootloader/partition is locked.

I wonder if you could:

Flash the unlocked bootpartition image?

Change your permissions or owner chmod or chown?

s-off and simply replace the executible files.

mount it in linux and make changes.

In the end you are probably boned unless somebody can help you define the partitions. I am suppriesed that you are still in the dark here. Somebody knows the information about the partitions and the target device.
[HTC Desire 601] gumbyx84:
You linked to 0P4EIMG.zip in an earlier post. Is that the older hboot (I think it's 1.40)? If so I assume I follow the directions you gave me before which is to put it in the root of my sdcard and boot into bootloader/hboot.

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

Followed the instructions from the post I mentioned with 0P4EIMG.zip. Get message "Main Version is Older. Update Fail"

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM----------

I unlocked the bootloader again and tried to get the old hboot from the file you linked to, but I now get an error "wrong zipped image" and told to press power to reboot.

Not sure if it matters any, but I am S-On. I have a bad feeling it does. If so, am I too far gone to get S-Off?
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:

[HTC Desire 601] mvladimir199:
Cool, even great, but what about the users UL version?
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Won't develop for it blindly only because users seem to lie about bugs... That's why I'm doing CL because I own it and can see if users are lying or not about bugs.. and if I had the money I'd buy a UL version and have sense 6 for it.

And users of CL pm me your email as I'm starting a community group chat in hangouts for InsertCoin.
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
Wait what?!? You wont develop something, because you think we, the users, will lie you that there is a bug when there's actually not? Whats the point for us in doing this kind of stuff? :laugh:

P.S. Not forcing you to make UL build, just curios about the lying though :laugh:
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
What I mean is I built IC for butterfly users awhile back and so many people were reporting bugs, so I messaged one of the devs in there forum that ran my rom and he said that he experienced no bugs... Meaning users lied about bugs.

It would take 10 mins to port to the UL , just idk.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Everytime I uninstall Mobile ID with titanium backup and restart the phone it's there again downloading. Does it have to do with the fact that my bootloader says tampered still?
[HTC Desire 601] kwkbnk:
The Desire has write protection. Anything you try to remove from system partition will be rewritten after reboot. You should be able to freeze it so it fails to run.

In order to rename it you'll have to factory reset from recovery and then before rebooting, rename id.apk to id.apk.bak. I ended up going this route because after the essentials installed on my phone and I removed the bloat apps it installed, nextradio and vmlive icons kept coming back in my app drawer even though the apps weren't there.

My ocd would have no part of that. I tried a couple other ways to resolve it first but it kept happening. I would avoid completely removing apps at the moment. Once the write protection is managed and there's a way to restore stock it will be ok to do so but for now I freeze or rename.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Thank you for the quick reply. My next dilemma is that after I factory reset and go into aroma file manager there are no touch controls anymore. I can only control using volume up and down and power button. Unfortunately you can only rename an apk with touch controls. I have to restart the phone to get touch controls again. Any tips? Thanks.

Hi [MENTION=5135080]SPSPaWn[/MENTION]

She would add support for exFAT sd card?

Other recovery they work

Thanks
[HTC Desire 601] kwkbnk:
Try the recovery in the post above this one. It's the one I'm using and touch works fine.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I was using this recovery also. What worked for me is renaming it to ID.apk.bak and then factory reset, reboot. Then it stopped thankfully. Thanks for your help.

Edit: And also freezing rather than uninstalling apps seems to be the thing to do.
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
I just ordered this phone. I'm just wondering if this phone works with "Root External 2 Internal SD"? I see the phone only has 4.xx GB of usable storage which isn't nearly enough for apps. Hoping this works to be able to save all those large games on a large micro sd card.

I have restored the stock recovery, removed superuser and the su binary, and it's still not wanting to install. The only change I made to anything in the system partition was I renamed Id.apk to id.apk.bak but I changed it back. Any idea's I can try so It will install and stop prompting me. Not sure what's causing it to fail the assert checks. Do I need to reset tampered and relock bootloader?

Thanks

Ota update? Flash stock boot, recovery and relock bootloader

Once locked you should be able to install ota update requires stock recovery and boot as well,

I'm about the same, the tester firmware HTS One S, and everything was fine, if 15 people observed any bug checked, people did not do with this machine on hand, and firmware came out and then he himself bought a with its general duties and firmware development

And let there be no development of our UL, okay, although insulting to some extent that CL will receive a custom, and people will throw a UL version and deprived

Just my opinion, sorry if anyone hurt
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Don't think that means they lied, they probably had other apps that were causing problems and they though it was the rom. Lie sounds very harsh when they're probably just clueless.

Wow, why so much quicker than CL? gsm easier to work with than cmda?
[HTC Desire 601] sickday:
You'd be surprised what people lie about in bug reports. Not talking about Android here, but just in general software development, and without being able to actually see what's going wrong, it's much harder to debug.
[HTC Desire 601] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Someone point me to a flashable Kit Kat Stock Rom and give me your whole partition layout and I'll upload a build this weekend for you.. And if users post screenshots or logcats of any bugs on the UL I will continue to support it.

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 PM ----------

Yes porting from a gsm phone to another gsm phone is beyond easy, just need to replace libs and bin files usually and all will work. But with cdma we have to make framework edits to convert it to CDMA.

That's why I asked if users would donate so I can support UL and CL users and give them something to flash... And I could make kernels for both if I had the UL

Couldn't say it any better.! :)

There are two main flashable rom zips types, the ones with just a system.img and kernel.img and scripts to flash them. The other type is with 1000s of files extracted from system.img and a kernel.img as well as the scripts to flash them. This flashable zip is the first type, don't know if that makes a difference for your development.

Does anyone know if the TWRP for kitkat that Duir posted will work correctly with a phone with hboot 2.20? Long story short if TWRP will work (and seems to after I just flashed it), I might be able to get s-off and fix my phone. But I need to know if I need the original twrp for JB or can use twrp for KK. Also, do you think Firewater would work using twrp ADB?
[HTC Desire 601] Child's Play:
If u need to downgrade to the old hboot, u need to get s-off but u cant do it bec u cant boot into android. Unlock the bootloader, flash a custom recovery via fastboot then restore ur backup via recovery then boot into android. Its odd u r on the old hboot
