Kitkat desire 500

Hi, i ave a little problem to install kitkat rom ,

i have this error after i installed from zip : assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "z4u" || getprop("ro.aa.remover") == "1.32.401.1"

E:Error in /sdcard/D500_1.32_DDK_B3.zip

(Status 7)

Installtion aborted

how can i solve this ?

Thx :)
[HTC Desire 500] ufonek:
if you flash the latest version, so you do not have your phone 1.32.
[HTC Desire 500] ufonek:
the last time I will repeat:

I think it would be best if you flash backup 1.32 - http://yadi.sk/d/sYXF9u-VKBKnd (unzip to the sd card and restore in cwm). Immediately after flash my zip.
[HTC Desire 500] evillek:
I just have to say ...this is really brilliant work. In the future, after removing all of white "boxes" in menus, this ROM will be like powerful weapon. Can't wait.

I'm using this since B2 and it keeps my battery alive quite longer than original HTC Rom. Keep it up :good:

Need your help

Hey guys i really need your helps.

After the OTA 1.32 update released, I could not wait and install immediately, without knowing before that at the time there was no kernel for 1.32. But, I needed root so I had no other choice than the phone provided S-OFF. You know Supercharge, Viper4Android

I rooted S-oFF with rumrunner everything worked great.

Now I want to go back to S-ON again. Because with S-OFF for some apps in bottom of the screen is a bar now for the options. Before S-OFF I could with longer hold the Home button in the app open the options without that stupid bar. That's the only reason why I want to go back to S-ON. I know back to S-ON can go much wrong. If there is a solution that I can disable the stupid software bar again to get back with longer hold the Home button to open the options, I would also be happy again. That would be even better for me.

I had tried one to come again to S-ON but that did not work.

I flashed original CID via fastboot, Original Recovery, Original HTC 1.32 backup on it, has locked bootloader and tried to flash the firmware.zip from the OTA 1.32 update over rebootRUU. That all went only has it failed. I'm still S-OFF. i wasn`t try it again, because my heart was boom boom boom and a working phone with S-OFF ist still better than a phone with black display.

As I said S-OFF does not bother me because official updates, doesn`t come anymore. But this software bar for options, I can no longer see. I just hope that one of you says: Dude that's so easy ....

thanks
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
I think you confuse S-off with something else, but I don't know with what :D:D, especially because you say you need to be S-on for updates.

S-off unlocks the bootloader&radio paritions. I don't think am quite sure this doesn't affect the system partition.

Could you post a picture of what exactly you mean with "a bar for options"? I don't quite understand, and I don't think it's caused by S-off

Edit: read the explanation about S-off on the first page of the thread.
[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
No Problem! Look the screenshots this bar i mean.

The lower bar was not before S-OFF. Previously, with longer hold the hardware Home button i open the option. in my opinion the software bar is on by default in the Developers build. I'm not quite as stupid and had found here: http://thistechiegirl.com/2013/01/0...-navigation-button-and-disable-hardware-keys/

how-to-enable-on-screen-navigation-button-and-disable-hardware-keys

it works flawlessly but then in whatsapp for example, no longer the possibility to open the options or over longer holding the Home button. but the bar is gone then.

Therefore, it must be due to the Developers build in my view.

Interesting. Then the phone check's for S-on on boot, probably in the ramdisk, and then enables a navbar.

Tried disabling the navbar with gravitybox??

Anyway, check these posts by ricardo-nl about S-on again. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=52839263#post52839263

You have to scroll down a bit, then you see.

Edit: what I found in the ramdisk

on property:ro.sf=0
write /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/buffer_size_kb 200
write /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/mmcio/enable 1
write /sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/perf 1

Doesn't look like it, probably set somewhere else.

[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
That with the Gravitybox I'm going to try out very interresanter clue.

The Tread of ricardo-nl overwhelmed me completely, whether it is due to my english skills?

Where should I enter these two commands is not at all clear to me.

to lock

Quote:

echo -ne '\x00\x00\x00\x00' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256

to re-unlock

Quote:

echo -ne '\x15\x08\x84\x19' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 bs=1 seek=32256

By ADB or directly in the phone via shell?

He writes so well for yourself:

I think we gotta need a RUU to make it ciompletely stock.

I understand that you need Stock hboot image to get back to S-ON. But where do you get it for Desire 500 ? from the firmware.zip of the OTA update 1.32?

So far as I know, if these two steps do not work out any reason, then the phone will not boot anymore and I would only do if I'm 100% sure:

-LOCKED on hboot

-S-on (fastboot oem writesecureflag 3)

specialy relock the bootloader is very dangerous.

Therefore, I'd probably just think about back to S-On when HTC came with an new update.

The rows from the ramdisk I know too.I Have spend many many hours after the OTA update 1.32 spent with Android image kitchen to root my phone.

I had only tried to comment out these lines. You want me to say that I probably change the values ​​in the rows? Do I understand that correctly?

If I'm honest i don`t understand correctly what these lines do....
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Actually the only relevant part was: :p

In fastboot, I think:

fastboot oem writesecureflag 3

This should S-on your phone
[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
That sounds too easy. SuperCiD change in stock CID,flash original boot and recovery and then fastboot oem writesecureflag 3?

From what I've read with my poor English that exactly this step can brick my phone. That's why my heart rate high when I think about it, and do not trust myself (yet).

My current approach looks like add In build.prop

qemu.hw.mainkeys = 1

and then assign in the very inspiring tool Gravitybox, the home button "Show Menu" function.

Could you please describe again in detail what you want to tell me with the entry from the ramdisk?
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Ignore the ramdisk thing.

Why do you think this would brick your phone??

Did you try flashing firmware.zip??
[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
Yearh. Change SuperCID to STOCKCID, all back to Orginal, but I had not dared to to lock the bootloader (writeoemflag 3). i flash from 1.20 to 1.32 with the firmware.zip in RUUboot with unlocked Bootloader . After this my bootloader was relocked, but that's the least trouble.

So my opinion was, that when i reflash firmware.zip the boot loader is overwritten, but unfortunately this was not the case and since I sweat beads after that, i had enough on his forehead, I do not dare to go further. This is in my view, not a thing you should do 3 times on a day.
[HTC Desire 500] ricardo-nl:
You should add qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0 in build.prop to get the buttons. It doesn't work on HTC sense ,only AOSP (on my Desire s). Just flash a ROM.zip with the correct build.prop when you are only rooted and s-on

My s-on thread was about getting warranty for the broken screen and it worked! Got my whole motherboard and LCD replaced for free. So the s-off 7 times boot vibration was also gone.

Can anyone post stock rom for dual sim that actually is dual sim and when you install it ,it deletes recovery . The stock rom for Dual sim on 1st page is not dual sim
[HTC Desire 500] KickaZz123:
Thank you first. Exactly the right Guy has turned on.

if I add in the build.prop qemu.hw.mainkeys = 0, then I got a permanent software bar at the bottom of the screen or not? Yes I want to re-open the options from the apps by hold the home button longer and not!!!! in some apps this software on-screen bar.

What do you mean a correct build.prop Rom only flash if I root and with S-on ?

The only Full Stock Rom you can flash is only 1.20. And I'm rooted and have S-OFF. Can you give me the instructions Tread for back to S-ON without something happens when you exactly do what there ist writen?

I have not a broken display.... only the red warning message and the 7 times vibration after every boot, but no functional trouble. I just want again with long hold the Home button open the options menu in the apps and be rid of the software bar at the bottom of the screen.
[HTC Desire 500] ricardo-nl:
Yes the software bar will be permanent. The S-OFF is good (you can modify /system in the rom then).

If you want this buttons at the bottom of your screen:

You should do this steps:

1. First of all check if your ADB is working: type "adb devices" in cmd.exe. You should see your phone (if USB debugging is enabled on your D500)

View attachment 2818310

2. When your device shows up type: "ADB pull /system/build.prop c:\"

View attachment 2818330

3. Your build.prop should now be on your C:/ drive in Windows.

4. Add at the bottom of your build.prop with notepad++ this line:

View attachment 2818311

5. Copy build.prop to your SD and use root explorer to move the build.prop from SD to /system. (The button R/O should be on R/W at the top of your screen)

6. Reboot

Hi all,

I've had a problem with my phone for a couple of days now and basically I need a solution. When I turn my phone on it comes on for about 20-30secs and then goes off and reboots and it just keeps repeating, I have tried Factory Resetting it but the problems starts again after a day. Anyone have the same problem or does anyone have a solution

Hi guys, my friend just got a desire 500.

Now he wants to unlock the bootloader and root his phone.

But he's got a big problem, because fastboot drivers one Win8.1 make big problems.

We've already tried everything we found, but nothing worked.

Windows 8.1 64 bit

Admins attention.

What can we users do to get admins attention.. I mean so they will create a official xda developers section for our device. We cant just sit here and wait for it cuz i'm starting to get sick of stock ROM. OK we have a root and a custom kernel but I'm still not 100% sure this works on both dual and single sim, plus users are reporting bricks on both rooting methods. This phone has been out for a HALF a year and yet nothing ? No real 100% sure official root method ? That sucks... Really sucks... If we want to achieve something (like CM for our phone) we must fight for it and I know it sounds crazy but admit it..we should do more work together as users of HTC Desire 500 (dual and single sim).
[HTC Desire 500] R4Y3K:
What can we do then as the 1st step
[HTC Desire 500] peterhevesi:
Yeah, I completely agree with you :D If someone tell me a way to fight for it, I will join :D

Still, when we consider, how much time it will take to create first ROMs without any bugs, we must admit, that now it is really the time to start :D

For my last Phone HTC Desire S, it took months to create a stable ROM after they first appeared...

When someone creates a ROM, I will flash it only to find bugs and report them to developer so I can help him, but then I will probably flash stock ROM again, cause I don't want buggy ROM :D And believe me, they will have a lot of bugs :D

Return to stock

hi guys if you wanna return to absolutely stock follow this: I HAVE DUAL SIM VERSION

in CWM recovery flash DUAL SIM STOCK ROM which link is on 1st page,and then reboot

after that flash STOCK RECOVERY the same way you flashed CWM..put phone in fastboot and in windows cmd: fastboot flash recovery recoverystock.img (that's my name for recovery,you can name it whaterever you like)

RESTART THE PHONE .. you will notice that it restarts a lot faster then with CWM recovery that's becouse it's STOCK RECOVERY

after this procedure you have a STOCK phone and you can update it normal way .--.. settings.--.about..--.software updates...check now..

i had a problem with radio firmware and my SIM SLOT no2 did not work..after this procedure everything works so it apperantly repairs everything during updates you get on your phone and installs new firmwares..

SO I HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO dummie999 FOR MY COMMENT REGARDING DUAL SIM STOCK....sorry mate
