From htc international Technical support team:

Dear *********

Thank you for contacting HTC.

I am sorry to inform you, but at this moment we don't have any confirmation that HTC Desire 500 will receive the 4.4 update.

If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you so much for using HTC products.

Respect & Regards,

HTC Technical Support Team

So i guess no official update will be released.
[HTC Desire 500] Revin:
This is the usual stuff they write, they always don't have any informations, or they are just reviewing the option etc.

For me, the 4.2 will be enough, I was not expecting more from HTC.

If guys here will be able to bring 4.4, that will be big bonus, I will be definitely willing to throw some donation for it.

flashing stock rom.

Hello and thanks for this awesome thread.

I have a question. I downloaded a stock rom from htcdev, and i dont know how to flash it. do i have to root my phone ? i'm new to HTC phones so can someone tell me please how to do it ?

Thanks guys :)

On Htcdev is the kernel source code for this phone. You can't flash it. The kernel source code is for developers.

Hello! I unlocked my phone, installed the CWM recovery and after that flashed the custom kernel. It worked just fine, I had root access but today after my battery ran out and the phone switched off I cant turn it on again. It freezes on black screen after the first boot logo (the one without the beats audio branding). What to do? How to fix it? Thanks in advance and greetings folks.

HEllo again guys. I managed to fix my software issues and now Im thinking about an AOSP ot CM ROM. I am interested in porting something. I want to ask if it is possible to use the stock .lib files in the system partition on AOSP or CM ROM. I know that the Sense UI is something far away from the AOSP and CM. And if someone can tell me how to use the kernel sourcecode to boot something NonSense I will be thankfull. As soon as I have booting custom ROM I will post it here. But thats far far in my mind. Would be nice if there is someone who can help me.

hello, I'm Italian so sorry for grammatical errors ...

I am a novice modder but I managed to unpack the system is that the boot, if you want I can upload the unpacked files.

Using Android kitchen I changed the boot which was initially 16 mb, how come now it is 4.50 mb? 0.o. ..

Then we would have to also change the script for the 'installation, and for this I found a guide!

Then I have a 'more doubt, the rom with root explorer with root permissions I tried to delete some apps but two seconds later reappear!

In the stock rom that I'm editing I removed applications that do not need them, but I'm afraid that pop up again ... (I think I'll have to delete these apps also in the data folder and edit the script for the 'installation)

Full Root

Hey guys, I am wondering, we have a kernel now released and maybe we also have a method to make it s-off (Firewater) [Anybody tried it yet??]

Does it mean we are very close to full root?? Cause if I understand it right, only partial root exists till now, doesn't it??

Thanks
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
Full root exists but only with KangBang kernel,

S-Off - I haven't tried it yet ;P
[HTC Desire 500] peterhevesi:
Wait, what is KangBang kernel?? My question is: are we close to full root for everybody, no matter what kernel??

I know that really smooth working ROMs without any bugs won't be available for a long time, but still, I need to root my phone, cause I want

Lucky Patcher and Titanium Backup working... But when I hear that we have only partial root, or full root only for KangBang kernel, I still rather wait, for something full and official :D
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
Kernel is working for one sim I think :P

With this kernel (first page) you have full root ;)

DahakePL is lying.

He sold his Desire 500 and bought himself another Phone.

In the beginnings he said that he'll sell his D500 because of no Kitkat.

And now he doesn't even own the D500, but he is still talking about some upates.

[HTC Desire 500] AlexVat:
I don't understand why everybody complains about the kk update. I mean, even with kk the Desire500 won't turn into a HTC One. Jellybean is already stable. I believe that even an update to JB 4.3 would be good enough. Everywhere I look there's this frenzy about getting that KK update. For what? Many of the users won't even know how to switch to ART. And even fewer know that ART is not only cream&butter. I mean you know that all apps on ART need roughly 20% more space, no? The Desire500 has a limited internal memory as it is. Try and imagine converting all built-in apps to ART runtime :) Other than that KK is already moving in a wrong direction regarding expandable storage as most custom roms have problems implementing the MicroSD card support because of the mounting issues. So, don't get me wrong but I don't see the rush in getting this update. The Desire500 has been on the market for like 8 months or so. The update cycle is guaranteed for 18 months. So there is no reason to panic or be nervous :) In the end, the Desire 500 is a good enough phone, with a stable stock ROM. For me this is what truly matters. Cheers everyone and enjoy your phones. Don't switch them just for the sake of a number ;)

Yes, for me, the clean desensed rom will be enough, it does not need to be Kitkat.

I think if it will be pure Android it might have also more internal storage space?

Custom kernel

Custom kernel for 1.32 with /system write protection removed, and init.d support!:good:

Download!

Flash via fastboot:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Only use this if you are on 1.32 stock. I was to lazy to build the modules, so if you manually removed them, then it won't work.

Init.d support: All scripts in /system/etc/init.d are executed on boot. Some apps use this to set kernel settings. The output is written to /cache/initlog

/system is mounted rw at every boot

Remember to install SuperSU or superuser to gain root!

I'm going to add other stuff:

- governors

- ioschedulers

- oc?

- sweep2sleep?

- fastcharge?

[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
That's a good question!

I just know that the kernel source for 1.26 is not on htcdev.com. This means either that it uses the 1.20 or 1.32 kernel source, or that htc is just really slow. (<--- this doesn't look like a good sentence.....:rolleyes:)
