The RUU worked great on my Rogers branded 601 UL (mid 0P4E20000). I just changed to my cid to supercid.

An engeneering hboot would be nice so I could change my mid to 0P4E23000 and my cid to TELUS001 so I could get OTA updates.

But if you are really daring dd p6 partition and hexedit it with the mid you want and dd back.

Also is there anyway to get the Sense TV app that is missing from our phones? (Virgin Mobile edition)

If you look at your power button you will notice it is completely black plastic. Not just smoke like you see with the HTC One. Sense TV and IR Blaster are 2 different things. Sense TV is simply an app with a TV Guide type interface.....

[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
you should factory reset first, then boot it and dump the stock system, boot.img, recovery.img

then flash it and push su and superuser then you can delete what you want.

make sure to backup whatever you delete first though.

and with that unsecure boot.img flashed, all changes in system will persist.

[HTC Desire 601] jmz:
Sorry. I completely mispoke. Should have been rumrunner

http://rumrunner.us/downloads-2/
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Since you just did the htcdev unlock which wipes data partition which includes some stock apps like voice recorder and calculator, I'd run the RUU after getting S-OFF but before flashing the hboot. This will remove any tampered flags and most importantly it will restore the files wiped by unlocking via htcdev. Then to unlock again after you RUU use the command in this thread and you can unlock without wipe. Also, you'll want to delete the file /system/bin/hcheck if you want to be unlocked AND S-OFF at the same time (device will boot-loop otherwise). Once you do that, then flash the hboot.

RUU can be downloaded from here (my Google Drive) and also here (MediaFire).

[HTC Desire 601] modifhigher:
how can i remove the hcheck file?
[HTC Desire 601] standak14:
Go to recovery Mount - and select system then back to menu

Advanced - File Manager

Find file in system/bin and delete it
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
My favorite thing to say because it sounds totally contradictory: The boot-looping means it worked. :)

If you want to remain stock run the RUU now, this will restore the deleted files from unlocking via HTC and remove the tampered flag. Also, since you just unlocked you don't have to worry about the RUU wiping data. You have to re-lock your bootloader to run it which is where things start to get "fun".

Relock your bootloader (fastboot oem lock)

Run the RUU

Flash TWRP from hboot (copy the attached file to the root of your sdcard then "adb reboot bootloader", if you load into fastboot hit the power button to switch).

From TWRP you can delete the file or install SuperSU and then delete it using the file manager of your choice.

Once deleted follow the steps is previously mentioned thread to unlock bootloader.

I'm keeping my phone essentially stock right now in preparation for the 4.4.2 update due near the end of the month. I have modified a few files, but I made a copy before modifying them so I can just restore the originals when it's update time. I have Titanium Backup Pro freezing all the VM bloat so the files are all still there in case the update checks for them. I also simply renamed hcheck to hcheck.bak.

Jmz's ZaraCL_V1 ROM

Finally got around to loading Jmz's ROM for Zara CL, which installed flawlessly. Also runs very well, no glitches at all. Great job =)

What issues I have found are very minor:

1. No-frills will not set the CPU speed correctly on start up even if "Disable safety valve" and "Prevent changes from other apps" are selected. I just re-select the speeds I want when I reboot.. which isn't often.

2. Android Files keeps telling me I have an update available for my ROM, but no clear indication of what needs updating.

3. Sense5 Toolbox doesn't work. I tested changing icons, and I also enabled using volume keys to wake, neither of which worked. After these options failed to do anything I didn't check any other settings.

These are very minor in the total scheme of things, I just wanted to give some feedback.

If any other information is needed, please let me know.

Cheers!
[HTC Desire 601] jmz:
1. I will look into it.

2. Yeah I'm trying to figure our why its doing it. Should only happen on boot though

3. You must install xposed framework an enable it in there. Which I included also. I should have made that clear but I didn't

Thanks!

Flashed to JmzZaraCL_V1 and it's running great so far! Thank you!

3 issues to report though:

Handset reboots itself somethings (I'll try to get a logcat next time it happens if I can find a repro.)

The switch keyboard status bar icon is missing. I installed Swype+Dragon but can't switch from the Sense keyboard because doesn't show up and it's not available in the pulldown menu. (Yes, Swype is enabled in settings.)

HTC Stocks was installed despite unchecking it in Aroma installer.

Everything else appears to be working great right now. I can verify Sense5 Toolbox works after installing the framework.
