[HTC Desire 601] Samdrive:
I read most of this tread and now I'm mostly confused..

I rooted a Wildfire S using a guide in the past, but all files needed for my model were in one place.

My 601 is still on a 4.2.2 (not rooted and s-on) with Koodo and I would like to get to 4.4.2 rooted and s-off. ZARA_UL

From what I understand I should get s-off before upgrading.

1. I have to follow instruction on the rumrunner website to get s-off and unlock the bootloader (without unlocking first with htcdev) ?

2. Then I have to use a RUU in recovery (which one?) and my bootloader will be relocked ?

3. Install the 4.4.2 OTA.

and then I'm lost...

I would really appreciate the help!
[HTC Desire 601] tonydd:
do I need to re root? I Couldn't install recovery. Red triangle. I'm unlocked and s-on (not s-off...strange)

its been a long day and I'm missing something
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Gotcha, just need /system?
[HTC Desire 601] rustykwak:
System dump!
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
Well this will switch your phone from koodo to telus but they're the same company/network. If you want to stick with the koodo version just don't run the ruu and try to ota anyway. I don't thkink it'll work though and you'll have to flash the ruu to fix it, but it might be worth a shot.

This is the theory, rumrunning may work in 4.4.2 but your right, better do it now just in case

Nope, unlock first via htcdev as they say in step 5 of their prerequisite instructions. They say you have to be unlocked or rooted, but from our experience it only works if unlocked AND rooted AND running an insecure kernel. You should be able to find the insecure kernel somewhere near the beginning of this thread. It doesn't matter so much if the kernel doesn't support your baseband since you'll be running the ruu eventually which will clear it all up.

Relock before running the ruu from fastboot not recovery, the Telus 4.2.2 RUU

yup

unlock with htcdev again then flash the recovery for kitkat posted a page or two back, open recovery and reboot to system, it will ask if you want to install supersu, say yes. Done

:D

Is there a ruu for wind mobile/globalive? I want to s-off but would like to have this ruu as a precaution. The Wind Mobile phone is zara_ul if anyone is interested.

Remove the OTA from the root of your SD card. It will keep trying to install it if left there soon as bootloader starts. You should be able to get into TWRP fine after that

[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
You might be stuck that way if you never get an officialupdate, sorry to say. The Canadian updates may not work properly with your baseband. What's your baseband version?
[HTC Desire 601] Val D.:
Just updated OTA my Koodo HTC Desire 601 LTE to 4.4.2 KK. SD card works as expected. My Camera and Voice Recorder are set to write on SD, Apps can be moved to SD, Internet cache can be moved to SD, also Messages and Bluetooth files. Included Office App has full access to SD too, nothing to worry about. I don't see any differences in SD use compared to 4.2.2 JB firmware. Overall 4.4.2 KK runs smoother and with more RAM available.
[HTC Desire 601] Akishima:
My baseband version: 1.21.40e.00.09_10.z06.40.4411U

I know that Asia Version has quite a different frequency band than the US or Europe version.
[HTC Desire 601] mrplowdan:
System apps can write to sdcard but user apps can't. Unless you install and run that app posted a few pages back, then it should work like normal.
[HTC Desire 601] Val D.:
Aha, OK. It will probably affect apps with a lot of user data/cache like games. All media files can be moved manually. With Android there is always a workaround. :good:

In general I'm happy with KK update. A little more options in Sense 5.5, a little better running OS, some small bugs fixed. Got the phone for $150 on sale with no contract. This HTC is one of the best price/features/quality/performance ratio phones available on the market, nothing to complain about.

How did you managed to upgrade to 4.4.2KK ?

That's the same radio version as TELUS 4.2.2

how about getting telus 4.2.2 hboot, installing ruu and then upgrading again. Would that work?
[HTC Desire 601] Krishanshu:
First check whether bootloader is unlocked or not.

1. If it is unlocked then root it to flash rom.

2. If it is not unlocked then unlock the bootloader and then root it and then flash roms of your choice. :)

What's the exact procedure?

Yesterday I was happy with the upgrade, but today I realized the VOLUME of front speakers is about 1/2 of what it was in JB. This is not good at all, in noisy environment I can't hear mail/message notifications. This issue is a deal breaker. :mad:

[HTC Desire 601] tonydd:

No, no 4.2.2 backup. I thought HTC know what they are doing. Both speakers work, but with about 1/2 volume. If no solution for this problem I'm gonna bring the phone back to Koodo and let them bang their heads with this KitKat update... :mad:
[HTC Desire 601] Orizence:
Well, I tried to restore back to JB from KitKat using the RUU. But unfortunately the RUU gave me error 155. I am S-OFF and tried it with my boot loader unlocked and locked. I guess you cant downgrade using only S-off anymore

Any help is appreciated
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
HTC should have a backup option in its messages app (at least it did on the evo 3D)

For other data use titanium backup.

Just make sure to move your backed up stuff to the SD card by using a file explorer in case the internal SD gets wiped in the update or any other steps

How exactly we flash custom recovery from a stock firmware?

Will this modification cause issues with further OTA updates?
[HTC Desire 601] jayp6969:
Thank you very much for your help. Titanium seems to be what i need after im rooted, it seems to be the best backup system. Now HTC has a thing that backs up to the cloud which to me seems like the iCloud service of Apple. Now im not worried about pictures or music and video as that is on the SD card. Apps i assume are associated with my gmail account and will re install with that?

Then unlock bootloader, flash recovery, then the supersu.zip? Im already on kitkat.
[HTC Desire 601] Kolma:
Usually when you install a rom or get a new phone after signing into your google account, google will reinstall all your installed apps on the new device/rom.

As for the data for those apps some will recover, most won't (really only games that support Google+ cloud saving recover their data, and apps that use a login system for outside services such as netflix and hulu and gapps like gmail,voice,drive etc)

also I wasn't talking about HTC backup, while in the messages app there should be a backup/restore setting
