Thanks for your help dude:good:

I'll migrate to 11 as soon as I get the hw acceleration to work. What changes do I need to make, besides the new recovery fstab style?

Are there actually differences between make clean & make clobber?

I would like to join to this request... :)
[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
Yearh thanks this information i needed. it push me back, try more and more on my phone. Last days i was really pissed after months no solution for my problem.

A Clean Desire 500 without Sense, exactly this is my dream, because in my opinon this is a good phone and to slow because of Sense. The Hardware is much powerfull than htc adjust.

I will try give an short guide S-OFF but sorry my mark in english was bad.

Format your SD-Memory and only copy back the file you need for install(backup,etc)

Flash Full Wipe

Install Clean fresh backup 1.32 (you don`t have it? look google : 4pda Stock Backup 1.32.401.1 Desire 500)

Flash your KERNEL

you will need this:

www 38. zippyshare.com/ v/ 15377618 /file.html

this is an 1.32 boot.img only with the init.usb.rc from KangBangv3 Kernel for adb acces.

make a copy from Kangbangv3 archive, and delete inside the archive the boot.img and replace it with downloaded.Flash the archive with cwm or twrp.

FLASH SuperSU binarys

Install busybox

read the instruction first from rumrunner!!!

Than you have to download :

HTC Desire X (proto/protou) Windows	MANY	rumrunner_proto_0.7.1.zip - 21.4 MB

and start the Exe with admin privilegs and hope it will make S-OFF in first try.

I was try it 10-15 times to complete!!
[HTC Desire 500] galaxyfreak:
While building, you will probably run into audio errors, its best to disable audio completely, because audio failure can cause bootloop.

Phone is slow...like 1fps slow, or somewhat better?

Difference b/w clean and clobber? None, i checked in build system, its just CM joke.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
okay, thx

like 1 fps slow...., but I disabled hw acceleration in egl.cfg (remove 0 1 adreno200), else I had bootloop

It said cannot locate symbol eglGetRenderBufferANDROID. Tried adding TARGET_USE_QCOM_HARDWARE := true, but it didn't fix

Cm has no sense of humor, then....
[HTC Desire 500] galaxyfreak:
Disabling HW acceleration may cause some shuttering, but 1fps is often caused by broken vsync. Make sure you have TARGET_NO_HW_VSYNC := true, and post a link of display-legacy/-caf you are using
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Owh, yeah thats true. I saw those Vsync errors, but didn't pay much attention. Will try with TARGET_NO_HW_VSYNC := true

I'm using the display thing that comes with cyanogenmod, but I copied libgenlock liboverlay etc. from my phone
[HTC Desire 500] galaxyfreak:
Using prebuilt display stuff is not recommended, especially on 4.1 to 4.2 bump (this is where it got split in variants: display, display-caf, display-legacy).

Remove prebuilts and go with display-caf. This may take you some time, but once you setup display driver and adreno blobs that works for you, further development will be easier. :)

Factory rom

Hi friends,

Its there option to flash my HTC to absolute factory state and use classic ota to update ?

I think something like RUU
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
Flash the official rom if you want factory state, I don't know what is RUU?
[HTC Desire 500] R4Y3K:
Any costume roms for the phone or what
[HTC Desire 500] Nathanael_cz:
Thanks, but I dont find and official rom :(

RUU = HTC ROM Update Utility

Its a exe fille for flash official stock rom, they make it if some phone recieve big update like new android version
[HTC Desire 500] ciairuzz:
Please could you give another try posting all these folders in the screenshot?

Thanks

The htc desire have the kitkat so where is our roms
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
Oh god... you are an idiot or what? (Sorry for that)

HTC DESIRE 500 is too new smartphone to have KitKat rom!

It doesn't even have cyanogenmod! (YET)

KitKat will be official, just wait a few months...

Best regards, Dahake​
[HTC Desire 500] R4Y3K:
Ok np for ur **** but what i mean that no one can make any rom o.O

Hmm...Most sites says this phone has 4.1.2, but on T-Mobile sites, it says 4.2.2. Did 4.2.2 started rolling out? If yes, try to get a system dump, it will make development easier :)
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Do I use caf or legacy? Nvm reading is tough

Where do I find it? (besides the one from hacklg (haven't tried it though))?
[HTC Desire 500] galaxyfreak:
display-caf comes with CM, you just have to set TARGET_QCOM_DISPLAY_VARIANT := caf
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
I tried that, but it didn't seem to work. At least there was no libgenlock liboverlay etc. in out. Any other flags I need to set?
[HTC Desire 500] galaxyfreak:
have you put them in z4u.mk?

Example: https://github.com/PicoKat/android_device_htc_pico/blob/kitkat/pico.mk#L28
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
No, that's it, thanks!
[HTC Desire 500] 007gamer:
It makes me happy to see at least one dev who tries to get CM working for our device.

Btw : Has somebody any news about KK?
[HTC Desire 500] Revin:
Try to ask HTC. Somebody here was talking about April, but it will be really surprise for me if we will receive Kitkat.

I guess even 4.2 or 4.3 will be nice update...

But at least we have some developers :). I am really looking forward to Cyanogenmod :)
[HTC Desire 500] jetboss:
Tried asking htc and no reply yet so hoping someone gives us some news
[HTC Desire 500] MadaraOP:
[MENTION=5753275]dummie999[/MENTION] , i think you should create a thread for your cyanogenmod progress to keep this thread clean. Or maybe you should create a blog or something, i think people are interested in your progress porting the cyanogenmod to our device. And one question. Will your build support the Dual Sim version of the phone? Thanks :)
[HTC Desire 500] joe-khalil:
hey!

1-i'm trying to remove some system apps from my phone but when i do ( i used 360 security and uninstaller app and other) each time i uninstall an app the phone restarts and re-put the app back!! can someone tell me a way i can use without formatting my phone!??!?!?!?!

hboot too high

Thank you, but now that I've upgraded to version 1.26 using the Custom OTA's you provided I can't mount /system or /devlog anymore...

(I've flashed the firmware.zip inside 1.26 OTA using the OEM Update Method, so now I have the same hboot as you do, which is 1.03...)

So I can't install KangBang Kernel nor root the phone and to get S-OFF I need root...

Can you help me?

Newbie

First off, i was looking since yesterday through the internet, different forums, and couldnt find any real answers to my questions.

So i got a HTC 500 which is simlocked to Vodafone / A1 (austria) career.

By Rooting, can i pass the Simlock and use any other Simcard from any other career or does it not work that way?

Second question would be: it seems, there arent any Custom Roms for upgrading to the new Kitkat 4.4 Android version?

I'm sorry if those are pretty dumb questions, however im new to Android (have been using Blackberry since then), and its just an information overflow for me and i couldnt pick the right informations up.

Regards, your cook :)
[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:
It does not work that way, and there aren't any just yet, although there is some progress in that regard.

Oh, and this was mentioned a few times in the thread already. Although it's true that this thread has gone for quite some time. But hey, after CM is ready, perhaps we'll have an entire forum for this.
[HTC Desire 500] bcook007:
Well, bad news :)

Do you have any experience with those Sites where you just put your IMEI pay them 10 bucks and get a code for it? Do they work just for the current version or are they permanent?

New Custom Recovery

Hi guys.

Can anyone repack a Custom Recovery so that it'll work with hboot version 1.03.0001?

(From 1.32 One-Sim Version and 1.26 Dual-Sim Version)

None of the current can mount /system and /devlog... They install fine and open up fine aswell, but they just won't mount these partitions, so we're kind of stuck.

I've tried goldcarding in order to get back to the 1.02.0001 hboot, but to no avail.

It would be very nice to get Root and S-OFF on these devices that got the OTA.

Is there anyone that can help?

Best regards,
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
Hello and welcome bcook007,

Rooting does not allow you to pass the Simlock.

There is no custom rom which is upgrading to Android 4.4, but there is a cyanogenmod currently being built by dummie999.

Sounds good, however it seems that ever release is kinda buggy first, so i will wait some longer till its working properly.

Can someone post here some new things that came out for Desire 500?

I will update the first page then, just tell me what do I have to add
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
1. You should @ mention artem4eg with the stock roms, tell they are version 1.26, remove the link to htcdev (it contains the kernel source not the stock roms)(the old ones are not old:p) and see if you can find one for the 1.32 version.

2. At the kangbang kernel, tell that it doesn't work for the 1.32 version

3. At recovery, add my cwm repacked image, and @ mention me. (it's just a download link, not a thread)

4. At the root video, tell that it does

not

remove system write protection, and that you need to install the kangbang kernel for that.

5. add the guide about installing the ota upgrade and relocking the bootloader

6. @ mention 007gamer at james rom

7. You can post my image about cyanogenmod

8. about S-off, I don't really know. If you post sth about it, then post a link that explains S-off. Some people mix the term with system write protection.

9. post links to all the vids fliwatt made, they are in his signature, and @ mention him

Could you post what hboot version you are using, exactly? And you are on dual sim right?

This is after you installed the 1.26/1.32 update right?

Let me just thank you in advance for all your hard work.

HTC Desire 500 Dual SIM (Z4DUG)

Radio - 14.15.50QD.26

OS - 1.26.401.2

Thank you once again. =)
[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:
You mean during the update?.. They can even do that? And I wonder what for. Changing the partition layout during an update sounds like a super risky thing to do, considering that it's applied to live phones with potentially very valuable data on them...
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
[MENTION=771421]billabongstaff[/MENTION]

Okay, it was a lot easier, by just repacking it :good:

Caution!!!!!!!! This recoveryimage is for Hboot 1.03.0001 only. It can hardbrick your phone otherwise. Be careful. Your hboot version is shown in the fastboot screen. It's cwm btw.

recovery.img

billabongstaff, could you test it? Make sure you can access /system?
[HTC Desire 500] billabongstaff:
EDIT:

Works Great.

I can mount /system now.

Gonna try to root the phone to see if I can get S-OFF.

w00t

Thank you for this... I'll keep you posted.

EDIT 2:

No dice on getting S-OFF.

I keep getting the "FATAL: Download updated package" error.

But now I have full Root and busybox installed.

I don't think my phone will get the 4.4 update.

I want to port but I don't think there are any identical phones with the same resolution.

Thank you :)
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
I'm working on cyanogenmod/aosp. You cannot port sense from source, because it's not open source. If you want to try to port it, take a look at the desire 600, and see if you can find a systemdump.

billabongstaff, with full root you mean kangbang kernel? So it works with your version? Or do you have only partial root?

[HTC Desire 500] AlexVat:
Really? You compare a device which has 1.5 GHz Krait quad-core, 2GB Ram and a 5" FHD display with the Desire 500? :)) The Desire 500 is a great device for its price and from my point of view it works very well even with the "older" 4.1.2 and I'm glad that there are some devs who take interest in it. At least you didn't compare it to the HTC One which still has some versions that are awaiting the 4.4.2 update.
[HTC Desire 500] Revin:
I am not comparing anything, this is just older device (with better specs of course).

The problem is not that we don't have the update, the problem is that HTC is pretending our device was never released.

I agree,i think that the Desire 500 will get at least one big update.

HTC Users are spaming the HTC page with questions about the kitkat update. HTC will loose so much if they won't deliver at least one major update for the D500.
[HTC Desire 500] sehic:
Hey! Does S-OFF and the superCID sim-unlock the htc desire 500? My guess is yes but i want to make sure.
[HTC Desire 500] AlexVat:
No, it will NOT sim-unlock your device. S-Off is a protection method for the system partition and superCID only allows you to flash original firmwares meant for other regions or carriers. For example: O2 UK has a specific CID and a open Europe fw won't install over it because the CID is different. SuperCID overrides this problem. The Desire500 can be unlocked only by JTAG or by IMEI-based code as I already said a few pages back. Always try and read a couple of pages back or use the search button :D:D It helps keeping this thread clean :D Cheers! ;):thumbup:
[HTC Desire 500] Revin:
If it will be like this and our device is just in line, then I am fine with that.

But HTC never confirmed any update for our device, so I am not very sure about this.

We will have to wait, but at least we have some guys on Cyanogenmod, I am really looking forward to that :)

I have the same hardware as you: D500 DUAL SIM.

How do you install the BusyBox? I had problems with this.

I can not also install Xposed framework. In the installer I click "install and restart", the message "done" appears, and after the restart it still says that it is not installed...

Which kernel are you using?

Would it be possible that you did CWM-Recovery backup and share it such as James ROM?
[HTC Desire 500] vangelis0:
I have just install Xposed framework successfully.. no error... i have download and active a module for test, all good..
[HTC Desire 500] eexter:
I can't do it via installer application. I've done it via recovery flash. And now it's working.
[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
Then i go download me the 1.20-1.32 OTA here from this Tread there is an firmware.zip inside. Boot into RUUboot flash the orginal Stock firmware and then i lock my phone.

But S-OFF is only a temporary Situation for me. Because there is actually no full working root Kernel for the 1.32 Update.

And when a new OTA update comes i will flash it trough RUUboot and have to relock anyway ;)
[HTC Desire 500] ricardo-nl:

This could cause hardbrick. Do not try this.

At least not until I'm sure that the booloader is indeed partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

I might be able to get this working for our device, but, once again, it takes time

Edit: It won't work with it's current values. 0x8404 contains nothing

No :confused:
[HTC Desire 500] MobilePerson:
No. Especially I haven't installed kangbang kernel, because I run latest ota update. Does kangbang works without any issue on latest update ?
[HTC Desire 500] GreatEmerald:
Hmm, so I see why the stock wp_mod ( https://github.com/flar2/wp_mod/blob/master/wp_mod.c ) doesn't work for the Desire 500. From what I can tell, it's supposed to override the arch/arm/mach-msm/emmc_partitions.c function get_partition_num_by_name() with my_get_partition_num_by_name(). The problem is that this function doesn't exist on the Desire 500...

However, what happens if you just turn off CONFIG_MMC_MUST_PREVENT_WP_VIOLATION? Nothing?
