Unlocking bootloader and rooting desire xds

STEP BY STEP GUIDE OF ROOTING AND FLASH CUSTOM RECOVERY FOR DESIRE X DUAL SIM

1.UNLOCKING OF BOOTLOADER

Quote:

Everything starts with this. Unlocking of bootloader will allow you to make changes to some critical partitions of your phone (boot, system and recovery) and will allow you to flash custom recovery that can be used for installing of custom roms, mods and all kind of flashable zips. However, it won't s-off your phone, and other critical partitions (bootloader, radio) remain inaccessible.

So, I won't explain how to do that. Why? Because if you successfully unlock bootloader on your phone it means that you received enough knowledge for the rest of the process and you're qualified to go further.

This process will factory reset your phone (erase data partition) so backup your stuff before you proceed.

Ok, now go to htcdev.com, register your account, go to unlock bootloader section, for the device choose 'All other supported models' and follow the instructions carefully everything is explained in details. Pay attention to 'Required resources' on the first page after confirmation - you need Android SDK platform tools Java Runtime Environment and HTC Sync installed and there are all needed links. Files mentioned in step 5 you will find in Android Bundle zip you downloaded in folder adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform tools.

Here are some useful links about Android SDK platform tools, you won’t be needing most of it but it won't be bad to read.

Remark: once unlocked bootloader can be relocked but can never be locked again. This can be done issuing command from fastboot:

fastboot oem lock

This means that on the top of you bootloader screen you’ll have a sign RELOCKED instead of LOCKED, which is a notice to HTC that you unlocked it once. Plus they have data about all users that requested unlock_code so they can deny your warranty whenever they want.

If you’ve successfully unlocked your phone bootloader we can proceed to the next step.

2. CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLING AND ROOTING

Quote:

There you can find custom recoveries for DesXDS . rename it to recovery.img and put it on the root of c: drive on your PC.

There you can find out super su

connect your phone to PC and put it somewhere on your phone sd card.

- Do not disconnect your phone from PC, reboot phone to fastboot on one of this ways :

1.	choose restart from power menu and when the screen comes off wait for the buttons to turn off and immediately push volume down, the phone will boot to bootloader, then select fastboot from bootloader menu

2.	issuing command

adb reboot-bootloader

from command prompt that will take you directly to fastboot

- once you’re in fastboot mode open command prompt, lead it to folder where you installed adb and fastboot (remark: unlocking bootloader guide pointed you to make a folder c:\Android for this) and issue commands:

fastboot flash recovery c:\recovery.img

fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot erase cache

The second and third commands are not quite necessary but they don’t harm and leave your phone with no trails of previous recoveries. Now you can disconnect your phone from your PC.

- From fastboot menu choose bootloader and then recovery to reboot phone to recovery

- If you successfully boot to recovery choose options:

Install zip from sd card

Choose zip from sd card

Navigate to superuser.zip you stored on sd card and choose it. Once the installation is finished reboot your phone. Now you should see Superuser app in app drawer and your phone is rooted.
