It's ok, :good: Now I have a problem this phone is capable to be used with GSM network but when I put a GSM Sim, appears a Simlock feature says: 4GLTE/GSM wont work as simlock is enabled. Please contact Customer Service to Unlock. But Virgin is refusing to assist me. Anyway I already got the MSL but seems that I dont have the proper code to be able to input the MSL and remove simlock. I found how to remove simlock for HTC One but doesnt work for HTC Zara_cl. So can you help me to remove simlock?
[HTC Desire 601] Obeezy562:
Correct me if I'm wrong, virgin mobile (aka sprint) is completely against unlocking their phones and won't allow their devices to be unlocked , it's against their policy.

Well if you need anything tested I'll flash it on my phone. I'm flat out broke at the moment with valentines day preparations. I'm sure this small community can give some donations to help you with a developer phone. I can give some on my next paycheck. I'm interested to see what the phone can do with an overclock. Although it's really fast and smooth with your first test kernel build.

I've checked everything and even the source code and nothing is working.

Edited the audio_effects.conf file in /system/etc.

Copied the library "libv4a_fx_jb_NEON_SQ.so" to /system/lib/soundfx and renamed it to "libv4a_fx_jb.so".

Edited build.prop and set lp.decode and tunnel.decode to false.

TWRP 2.6.3.0 for Desire 601 (Virgin Mobile) specific. I am going to start cooking up AOSP, so these device specific recoveries will be required.

Just keep an eye at the link above for other stuff. I will post here when i upload something.

Also, this will be officially TWRP supported in the next few days.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
I think It has to do with busybox. That needs to properly be installed for V4A to work properly. I think you need s-off to normally install busybox but somewhere buried in this thread others talked about ways of getting busybox running without s-off. I could be wrong on this issue though that is the wall I ran into.

Unable to go to recovery on HTC 601 dual sim

Hello Guys, I performed the following on my HTC 601 dual sim:

1. Unlocked the bootloader

2. flashed CWM recovery CWMRecovery_v6.0.3.7_Zara_PhilZ_v5.15.9 .rar by SPSPaWn

but when select "recovery" nothing happens...

Please somebody help me to get permanent root on my HTC 601 dual sim!!!
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
That's an older one that's not used anymore. Try the ones from this post.
[HTC Desire 601] arindam.palit:
Thank you for the reply! I tried with all of them, but none of the files in the link are getting me into CWM.

When I execute fastboot flash recovery..I get the ok message in my ADB cmd window but after that nothing happens when I hit the recovery on my phone. the logo comes up and then back to the menu with FASTBOOT, BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY etc...

I have copied all the files on my ext sd card (CWM, SU etc).

Please guide me to get a permanent root! My phone is HTC 601 dual sim.

Need it badly!!
[HTC Desire 601] David Roid:

[HTC Desire 601] arindam.palit:
You mean you got it rooted? please tell me how!
[HTC Desire 601] David Roid:
No, cannot get into *stock recovery*.

If you phone is still on version 1.16, try CydiaImpacter which will give your temp root, should be good enough to backup every stock partition.

To get permanent root, you have to be able to get custom recovery, which sadly we cannot boot into. This is a dead cycle.
[HTC Desire 601] arindam.palit:
i need root because i want to move all my apps and data into SD card. Thats the only reason. There are some applications (gana for eg., which stores all the mudosic downloaded into the internal memory) have tried app2sd ..even though the app gets moved to sd, the music gets downloaded into the internal one and now am getting low memory warning!!

Any help mate? Please!! I am an audiophile!
[HTC Desire 601] fabulous69:
as it doesnt seems enough clear to you:

you CANT get root at the moment i'm writing this.

Yea, I had found and did a recovery flash of it.

The thing with me is that it doesn't just "install" and when it reboots it looses the changes, my phone literally restarts whenever you try to do any form of system partition modification.

But I did install the kernel that was posted above and it works fine, though hboot says it's still s-on and still have unlocked bootloader. XP

is there no way to root htc 601 dual sim?
[HTC Desire 601] Unjustified Dev:
Confused me when I heard recovery didn't load. If you can get temp root like mentioned pm me. I think dual sim may have different partition.
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Will this work with Zara_ul? I've read before that their recoveries are universal but I'd figure I'd double check.

The current version of twrp I have installed has a minor issue in addition to offline charging. A factory reset formats data completely, where as on my nexus 4 it deletes all files except the /data/media folder allowing you to save your internal sdcard data.

Is the any way to flash the img file while the bootloader is locked? I s-off'd my phone and had to relock it to get rid of the boot loop. I'd hate to have to back everything up and restore it in order to unlock it again just to flash a recovery.

Thanks again!

[HTC Desire 601] David Roid:
Hi guys, I'm confused that what's your HTC *stock recovery* like, i.e. after you get into HBOOT, choose recovery and press, what will happen?

For me, it'll just display my carrier's splash screen then reboot into Android. And local HTC hotline says it's expected/normal!

And if I flash my homemade CWM recovery into recovery partition, press "recovery" will get into "fastboot".

Questions for all you dual-sim users that are having issues...

1) Can you enter stock recovery just not a custom recovery?

2) Are you all zara_dug device models and does anyone have a copy of their stock boot.img they can upload?

3) When you look at the hboot/fastboot screen there is a line that starts off "OS-" is it blank or does it have something there (see below)?

Pic1

Pic2

On my phone the line reads "OS-1.10.652.9", does yours have numbers there (which if you go to Settings -> About should match the software version of your phone) like in pic1 or is or is it blank like in pic2?
[HTC Desire 601] David Roid:
A1. Neither. In fact

For stock recovery, the situation is: select "recovery" in HBOOT and press power button -> network carrier splash screen -> a grey phone with green cycle screen -> network carrier splash screen again -> Android system

For homemade CWM recovery, the situation is: select "recovery" in HBOOT and press power button -> oha, get into fastboot

A2. Yep, I guess zara_dug owners are whiners here, as zara_dug is equipped with Broadcom SoC, things could be quite different from zara_cl/ul running on Qualcom Snapdragon 400.

I have stock recovery.img and boot.img extracted from zara_dug 1.16 RUU (which I can say for sure is authentic), attached in the other zara_dug thread, page 2. But flashing that boot.img into boot partition will make the phone unable to register to cellular network.

A3.

HBOOT-3.8.12.0000

OS-1.18.1402.1 <= was 1.16 before OTA
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
That's normal behavior for stock recovery, if nothing happens after x amount of time the phone automatically reboots . If you hold Volume+ after you enter the stock recovery you can see the limited options available.

I can make an unsecured version of the kernel you posted which will make it possible to get the partition information for your phone. Since you can boot stock recovery it seems the problem is the the zara_ul/cl recoveries aren't compatible. With the information perhaps someone would be wiling to make one that is compatible.
[HTC Desire 601] David Roid:
Huh? I already build a CWM recovery with img files extracted from the zara dug RUU I have, but the phone cannot boot into it: select recovery and press power, somehow it goes into fastboot.
[HTC Desire 601] mayankneil:
u've made it in a wrong way....dats y it aint running!
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
Attached is unsecured kernel for ZARA_DUG. Once flashed you can use the "adb shell" command from your computer to get the relevant partition information for the device. Use this post as a guide. Hopefully with that information someone will be willing to provide a working recovery for your device.

EDIT: Link removed since it was built using boot.img from 1.16 RUU and phones updated to 1.18 can't boot using 1.16 kernels.
[HTC Desire 601] gugucha:
I flashed that boot.img and phone is rebooting in fastboot... rolled back.

I extracted that boot.img with "abootimg" maybe we need to change some boot variables according to partition table ?

Are you on 1.18 or 1.16? Looking at the PM [MENTION=5585952]David Roid[/MENTION] sent I think I know why the recovery isn't working. If 1.18 phones can't boot using 1.16 boot images and the CWM he made was built using the 1.16 RUU, then it's likely that is why the recovery doesn't work. You will need the 1.18 boot.img to build it. If anyone has a copy of their 1.18 OTA, the files will be in there. As such, I would also need a copy of the 1.18 boot.img to make an unsecured kernel that will work.

I can confirm this is working. I made a hboot flashable zip for people who are S-OFF like myself so you don't need to unlock again (see attached).

Remove the TWRP_ from the filename, copy to ext_sd and then reboot into bootloader (hit pwr button if your phone boots into fastboot to change to hboot). Don't forget to delete the file from your sdcard when done otherwise it will keep loading it when you go to the bootloader menu.
