I'm trying to build CWM with builder.clockworkmod.com for zara but it's being strange atm, repo sync fails.

libhtccamera.so and libOlaEngineNew.so will still work for the HOV (I think those are the files for zoe to work + HTC's Camera and Gallery from Desire 601).
[HTC Desire 601] TheEndHK:
Yup, many things still useable there. But personally, I always like to know which CMOS in HTC is using because they like to use OV CMOS and the quality just isn't as good as Samsung CMOS. It is easy to spot out the different in reviews, OV CMOS tend to details leaking. That's why HTC One's photo is leak of details in almost all reviews, the 4M pixel is more likely only at 3M actual level.

It looks like only HOX/HOXL/HOXATT/HOS/HOV is using Samsung CMOS even HOX+ is switched to OV.

But don't get wrong, OV does produce excellent CMOS but just all good stocks sell to Apple.

[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
well my friend, as soon as you htcdev unlock your bootloader.....it factory resets your device, and you have to be unlocked for root.... and you need root to get the boot.img, lol stinks the first time(with HTC) I never understood why they make it where it factory resets when you unlock your bootloader, can be a huge headache when it come to receiving OTA updates being S-ON you have to relock your bootloader, then you accept the update and when you unlock it again....poof factory reset again lol
[HTC Desire 601] kevy20:
So isn't it smarter to wait until Android 4.4 comes out for 601 and then root (if it works)? Does anyone know if the 4.4 update also comes to international devices?
[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
it's definitely less work
[HTC Desire 601] ClockworkImpulse:
It's less work. Root should stay I would think. HTC is making 4.4 for everyone. Just depends on your carrier though.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Did you end up making the zip for busybox? I didn't see it.

[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Might be easier but 4.4 could be months away I never trust companies to release on time. Root is basically required for most of the stuff I do on my phone.

Remember if you have root, you can use titanium backup to backup all your stuff and then batch restore it, so it makes it a much easier process.
[HTC Desire 601] ClockworkImpulse:
Virgin especially delays a lot when releasing a new update.
[HTC Desire 601] Obeezy562:
True but at least were getting the update lol I hope it's with sense 5.5
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
Sorry for the delay, was a bit busy today. U can try the attached zip, but I'm not sure if the commands are symlinked all to busybox, so maybe u'll need to use it like " busybox <command> ". If its not working, I'll try to help :)

P.S. I tested it but still, not responsible if this zip turn your phone into a expensive rick, if there is a nuclear war or whatever.
[HTC Desire 601] Hedied4me:
Does this install busybox or just allow busybox to be installed? Ill make a backup just in case before flashing.

Here is thread for busybox

Anyone notice that the HTC desire 601 doesn't have a compass sensor? Either something happened to my phone when rooting or unlocking the bootloader or it just doesn't have compass. Not even from GPS.
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
Its just pushing the busybox binary to the xbin folder and setting permissions, but I think its better to use the thread standak14 posted (I should have searched for it before posting the zip but whatever :D ), as it will make the proper symlinks and everything should be working easier :)
[HTC Desire 601] stergmtl:
How do I root?

Hello! I just got this phone today and did the dev unlock, however I can not find a single tutorial on how to root it!
[HTC Desire 601] ClockworkImpulse:
I put a tutorial on phandroid. Just Google HTC desire 601 root. Or theres a simplified version on here somewhere. Pretty much. Download recovery. Rename to recovery.img. flash to recovery. Then put the updated su binary. Somewhere on this forum or on the tut on phandroid. Put on sd card. Install on recovery.

Edit: standack beat me. :P
[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
Ninja'd twice lol

just read this thread from the beginning....

verify your device code name

(CDMA)(no SIM)virgin mobile= zara_cl

(GSM)(single SIM) international carrier= zara_ul

(GSM)(dual SIM) Malaysia?= ZARA_dug?(no root or recovery yet)

Download the corresponding code named twrp.img and place it in your fastboot directory

factory reset your device(for future safety net)

do not flash the recovery yet, first it's best if you boot it, like this

open up command prompt in your fastboot directory

Windows> SHIFT+ Right Click then choose "open command prompt here"

Linux> CTRL+ALT+T

boot your phone into "fastboot mode" by sending command while connected via usb cable

adb reboot bootloader

now you are in the bootloader aka "fastboot mode"

now send command

adb kill-server

then remember, we are NOT flashing the recovery yet, just booting it so you can get a clean backup.

fastboot boot twrp.img

now make a backup then reboot back into the bootloader

then.......(now we flash)

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

fastboot reboot

now find your favorite superuser.zip via XDA-DEVELOPERS.COM

Download it and flash it through your recovery....

reboot, now you have root+a super clean backup to fall back to if any 'oopsies' happen during your rooting adventure.

also, if you could upload a copy of your superclean backup in a zip or rar post it here so others with your device may also have a safety net(in case they started modifying their ROM before they made a backup)

good luck!
[HTC Desire 601] stergmtl:
Woop! Worked like a charm SuperSU is now running, thanks a bunch! :D
[HTC Desire 601] stergmtl:
Really hate being that guy but is there currently any way to GSM unlock the Zara_UL ? It's a Bell phone but I want to use it on Rogers/Fido :rolleyes:
[HTC Desire 601] russellvone:
just call your carrier and ask for the code....

in USA, not sure about other countries it's the only Legal way, since the law they introduced about unlocking new devices before the contract is up....
[HTC Desire 601] TheXaXo:

I have nwver dealed with a newer HTC device, but is there a way to disable the write protection using a kernel module or do we have to wait till' the source code is released?
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
Anyone figure out how to tether this phone on virgin mobile?

I was able to do it once using https://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ and configuring it with hostap setting but then it doesnt want to work anymore... Netdc doesnt work even though it configures and sets up correctly but doesnt seem to have the access point broadcasting or running or something. ad-hoc doesnt even work and just fails.
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
I haven't tried it yet on this phone, but on my previous VM phone PdaNet+ worked. I mainly used the USB tethering, not the WiFi tethering, but it does support that as well.

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

I think just a kernel module needs to be imported for that to be disabled, not the source code needed. At this rate though, by the time HTC publishes the source code for our kernel the KitKat update will be getting pushed to our phones (which is tentatively scheduled for late March). I don't know if there will be an updated kernel when that comes out, but with our luck, yes.

EDIT: It doesn't help with write protection, but I did upload an unsecure version of the stock kernel to my zara_cl folder (link in my sig) if anyone wants it.
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Do you guys think this phone is better than the S3 or ZTE Supreme on virgin mobile?
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
I'd like to use wifi tethering since i can play using my psvita. i only have the wifi model...
[HTC Desire 601] jj411:
personally I like it better. had this phone for almost a month & have had NO LAG issues. everything runs smooth. boomsound makes this phone louder than my sister's S3 & my girl's S4. the Mobile ID thing was my only issue & that recently fixed itself. (screenshot: cple games i play as of now)
[HTC Desire 601] kwkbnk:
I use WifiTether for Root Users - TrevE Mod and so far it has worked. You can grab it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2273401

After installing go to settings and change device-profile to Generic ICS/JB (Wlan0). Then go down and check box next to Wifi-driver Reload. I had to restart phone before it would work but after a restart it has worked fine.

Before I tried tethering I froze the system app called Tethering Guard. Not sure if this needs to be done or not but I did it.
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
I see the tethering guard on my device, i have titanium backup but not the donated version so im going to have to "freeze" it via recovery.

As for the wifi tether that you posted, i am using one that might be similer to that one but it might be the official one and not the mod one, but i'll try it out anyway.

EDIT: doesnt seem to be working. Tether says it sets up correctly but it's like it's not broadcasting it's ssid or something.

EDIT2: ok, it's working. i didnt restart when i was trying it. XP
[HTC Desire 601] kwkbnk:
I had the modded version on my sdcard cause I used it on my Victory, so it's what I tried first. I use link2sd to freeze as I don't have paid Titanium Backup.
[HTC Desire 601] ClockworkImpulse:
Anyone having issues with the messaging app after rooting? Whenever I text to anyone. I tend to get a text failure. I have restarted the phone. Cleared cache. I don't know what's causing it anymore. I don't have the odexed apps for my phone installed either.
[HTC Desire 601] standak14:
Do you have a deodexed rom from me?
[HTC Desire 601] kwkbnk:
Messaging works fine for me. The only issue I'm having is with profile and prl updates. They take forever before getting an error about communicating with radio. It was heck when I changed my number because it took forever for it to update. I even tried a ##72786# to clear network info and that wouldn't respond either. I think it happened after flashing the unsecured boot image. Going back to stock didn't fix it.
[HTC Desire 601] ClockworkImpulse:
No I don't. You have one for zara_cl?
[HTC Desire 601] standak14:
Try to use this framework and odexed apps for your phone. The user applications remain. Maybe this will help ( flash in recovery )

You can do WiFi tethering on PdaNet+. My point was I haven't tried that feature, only the USB tethering.
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
ah.

I needed wifi tethering though. and doesnt pdanet+ limit your web browsing or something? i think it wouldnt let you go to https sites.
[HTC Desire 601] -Duir-:
I'm sure the free version has some limitations, I've been using the paid. Can at least try it and see if it works for you then decide if you want to purchase it.
[HTC Desire 601] alatnet:
well, i was able to get wifi tethering with the help of kwkbnk. so i dont need pdanet+. thank you anyway.

I'm coming from the Victory as well. How do the two phone compare? I'm hoping it feels like an upgrade. I've been waiting a week for the HTC to deliver.
[HTC Desire 601] jj411:
can't wait to try some custom roms (CM11/PACMan/etc.) on this thing. stock is fun but bloatware like 'Lumen Toolbar' keep using ram & I have yet to use that app. >_<
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
If you're rooted with titanium backup pro you can freeze it
[HTC Desire 601] Obeezy562:
Open the lumen toolbar app and uncheck everything in there that'll stop the background processes and you'll get your ram back ;) or just freeze it they both work lol
[HTC Desire 601] Toyeboy:
Oh wow that's much easier than what I said lol!

[HTC Desire 601] kwkbnk:
Might be the one with HTC as carrier and WWE as region. Not sure there would be a VM specific kernel since the phone has the Chameleon network and support multiple carriers
[HTC Desire 601] Vency77:
For custom ROMs we will use the HTC-WWE sources I assume. Also, if you want to be stock with turned off write protection and your phone is on Virgin, the HTC-WWE one should work too in my opinion, because there are only minor differences :)
[HTC Desire 601] Unjustified Dev:
Going to uploadit to github . :eek:

[HTC Desire 601] Unjustified Dev:
Someone provide this

For unlocked gsm version or cdma try

adb pull /proc/config.gz

Please tell me if it's cdma or if it's gsm. I hope this command isn't disabled from stock kernel

This will allow me to make sure the defconfig are the same and compatible with each other.

Dual sim if it works please try to do the same

Working on Zara 601 UL version
[HTC Desire 601] Unjustified Dev:
Hehe thanks glad it worked. The kernel source some oem release isn't always the same as what your device defconfig has.

edit : it's good at least it is for your model

compiling a stock write protected free boot.img

this is based on UL

Make sure to have stock boot.img ready to install

ZARA Ul only unzip to be provided with boot.img which is insecure and also has no write protection enabled

Does your .img will work with my 8gb sd card or i have to wait for your new build?

thx!
[HTC Desire 601] Unjustified Dev:
Wait for new build later on. I have to go to school going to peak into a cdma kernel and head off going to check to make sure I don't need to do extra work. I should be able to make a common kernel.

edit: someone pm a the name of a cdma device kernel source http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads . I don't know these international devices carrier because for some odd reason there isn't a mach_zara_cl in any of these ones I downloaded

Here's a test zip to flash in recovery for zara ul users make sure you have stock boot.img ready in case. I included modules in case that was the issue

I see why exfat is no good I'll upload one later
[HTC Desire 601] Akishima:
Can we really have a S-Off with just this kernel source coming out?

Cause I really need a S-Off for my Zara_ul lots of bloatware (htc apps) that can't be used in my country.

I don't think the backup will help, if you have the zara_ul flash the kernel it should hopefully end your bootloop , the phone is s-off but the kernel still contains the write protection which is why I believe your phone is bootlooping
