Hi guys,

I have some strange issue with HTC Desire 601 / Zara UL with installed twrp 3.1.0, unlocked bootloader and S-ON.

Problem: Phone keep restarting itself. It works for a few seconds and than restarts.

So far, I tried everything that came to my mind. I tried factory reset, formatting data (all), flashing stock rom, flashing custom rom, flashing new recovery, flashing kernel, deleting all data with adb shell ... And after the phone reboots, everything is the same as it was before these actions . All of data is present and the phone keeps restarting after a few seconds.

Also, I tried to format partitions with fastboot, but that didn't work. It was failing with message: FAILED (remote: not allowed). I tried to re-lock the bootloader for RUU, but I didn't succeed (FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))).

What do you think guys, can it be saved?
[HTC Desire 601] ct760ster:
Have you changed the CID number that came with the phone? If so you have to restore it because the RUU take that as a indication of which version variant to flash to your phone.
[HTC Desire 601] markostijak:
I didn't change the CID number.

Only unlocked the bootloader and install SuperSU.

just because the recovery does, doesn't mean that the apps inside the zip do.....

Btw , the deodexed rom is not for us that is for the gsm version of the zara it has different files that's why your data isn't working and is acting up in fact your lucky your phone boots up at least most of the time it'll just bootloop

I have a system dump, but it's a .zip file, not a .img file. It was taken before anything was done to the phone, so no root access and as such, no access to the "dd" command.

It's uploading now but I have ADSL so my upload speed is crap. Based on speed and file size it will be about 2 hours. I will post a link to it when it's done.

[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Stock system dump for zara_cl can be found here.

Remember, it's a .zip not .img as it's from before the bootloader is unlocked which also means none of the apps are missing that for some reason disappear after unlocking. It's my Google Drive account, so the link won't be gone anytime soon and I have uploaded some extra files (stock boot, recovery, link for TWRP) which I will keep a link to in my signature.

[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
So happy to have my phone back. Thanks again.
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
At minimum we'll need to flash the stock recovery, I can't remember if the bootloader needs to be re-locked or not, and as far as root that's easy to remove if it is an issue and shouldn't be a problem to redo after the update.

Glad it's working for you. :)
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
But if we want to unlock the bootloader again, will that mean that we would have to wipe our phones again? Cus that would really suck if we have to...
[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
root is fine just have to have unmodified system, stock boot.img, stock recovery.img, and being S-ON you'll have to relock your bootloaders for successful OTA updates....

just check them before actually accepting and hope there isn't an updated hboot.img inside or you'll possibly need another custom recovery made to work with it.....
[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking...
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Yes, but that is what Titanium Backup is for. :D

If you mean downgrade the hboot that requires S-OFF.

Is using busybox out of the question at this point?
[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
not at all

---------- Post added at 12:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 AM ----------

when applying the OTA it HAS to have everything it originally came with in

"/system"

nothing missing

+ stock boot, recovery, and "LOCKED"/"RELOCKED" bootloader

you may still be rooted, you might lose root after, but my current device has updated without losing root from 4.0.4-4.1.2 and soon to be 4.2.2 OTA.

I use [MENTION=631273]Chainfire[/MENTION] superSU pro that allows "survival mode" and it hasn't let me down. I've also had busybox installed without any OTA issues.

But, just to be safe....just make a clean unmodified backup then MOD the crap out of it and restore the backup when it comes time to OTA update.....works every time.

if not, just make sure you have the correct recovery for your device,

if yes, then are you selecting recovery using the volume rocker then power button to confirm?

for example http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45842591&postcount=161

try these....

just download the zip

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FLASH ANYTHING

instead just boot it without flashing like this

fastboot boot boot.img

and if it works, then boot back into bootloader and flash it. ONLY FLASH IF IT WORKS

fastboot flash boot boot.img

you don't need a whole ROM just because you accidentally flashed an incorrect boot.img/recovery.img. these don't affect the ROM just the boot and recovery partitions. try booting first, if it works flash, and always have stock backup of what you change BEFORE changing it, lol so we don't get in a pickle like this, ok?

not working !!!!! I also unlocked the bootloader so i also don t got warranty can i lock it again so that i get my warranty back and get my phone repaired without any cost?

Does anyone have a stock cwm backup they would mind posting for the zara_cl. On boot I'm getting an error that vDM Client has stopped responding and data doesn't work. If I restored a previous backup it boots and runs just as it should but that backup was on the 1.10.652.6 firmware and I was running 1.10.652.9 at the time. I can run it as is but it keeps prompting to install the update again but it won't because it is already running the new baseband.

Kernel sources for HTC Desire 600 and 500 have been released recently, expected to see the kernel sources of the 601 soon. If we have the kernel source that means we can get S-OFF right?

I would suspect so... It would definitely allow us to get rid of that pesky write protection...

you should be able to get s-off with root+ unsecure kernel!

Didn't really read though this thread, oh yup it's no cwm now.

The problem is 601 still only available in very very limited regional, in her motherland(Taiwan) doesn't even start to sell yet(scheduled next month). My living place is also delayed and no news til now, maybe the plan is cancel and won't sell.
[HTC Desire 601] Akishima:
really? hmm.. they already sell it in Singapore and other Asian countries.

This could be burden in developing the custom recovery if it is not sold worldwide, but still I'm planning to buy this phone in the next two weeks, and after I got the phone I'll my utmost to help the developer. :D
[HTC Desire 601] TheEndHK:
No. Hong Kong originally was scheduled on Oct end but no news til now, I think it is possible to cancel because folks here will only buy flagship of HTC models. China will get the dual sim ver of 601 next month, it renamed to Desire 6160 in China. Taiwan will get a public announcement of Desire 601 & Desire 700(7088 in China) on 27th Nov this month.

Desire 700 is the IPS 5" upgrade to 601 and camera switched to 8M pixel f/2.0 28mm imagechip with Zoe. 1GB ram, microSD, 2100mah(same as 601) and S4 200 Quad-core 1.2Gmhz.

EDIT: Oh, well... don't buy Desire 700, I've checked the S4 200 CPU quad-core is very suck should even slower than Desire 601 S4 400 dual-core. Just the camera is better with a slightly bigger screen.
