hi

i have htc desire 500 dual sim on hboot 1.03

so here is my problem:

After I rooted and flashed cwm recovery, every time i pull of the battery, my phone wouldn't turn on until i leave it without battery for 20 minutes and then return it, plug it and wait.

i tried to change the custom recovery from cwm to twrp 2.7. now after every time i pull of the battery and do the 20 minutes stuff, the phone boots on the recovery (can't boot on hboot mode) where i can do nothing(touch screen don't work, phone not recognized from the pc ). the only thing i can do is pull of the battery so i have to go through the 20 minutes stuff and stuck on recovery mode.

any help plz.
[HTC Desire 500] klsystem1:
all done, at the last screen to unlock, the problem when trying to unlock I press power button to unlock.

The phone vibrates 7 times and does not restart. I can navigate to restart or to unlock again. Pressing the Power button a second time has no reaction.

Try to flash the ultimate kernel boot image from the first page off this thread.

I don't know if that will work but your phone is messed up realy bad so there no harm in triying to do it. And if it worked ( the flashing process) and u managed to enter in recovery mode install a custom rom and flash it. Good luck:good:

How to install that jelly kat rom, if its in .rar file?
[HTC Desire 500] MadaraOP:
Hi guys, I have an Desire 500 Dual Sim version. I have terrible battery drain, so i decided to flash the stock rom. I tried apllying the OTA from 1.13 to 1.26, but it failed because i deleted some system files and the updater-script can't find them. I want to flash the stock 1.06 rom, but i'm afraid i will brick my phone because now i have hboot 1.02, and i think the hboot for 1.06 is 1.01. So i ask you guys, can i flash the 1.06 rom or not? thanks.

Is it currently possible to remap the capacitive buttons? (I want to move the home button in the middle and have the right button show the multitasking UI)
[HTC Desire 500] klsystem1:
which rom do you exactly mean ? James Rom or jelly kat?

is this possible with s-on mode?

thx.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
I could do that with my kernel, but it would be quite a lot of work, so perhaps if there are more people who want this.
[HTC Desire 500] Bogdacutu:
Hmm, shouldn't it be enough to edit syn_vkeys_show? But in any case, I'll take a look at it myself tomorrow.

Also, did anyone get the AOSP lockscreen to work properly on stock dual SIM? I removed HtcLockscreen.apk and the apk for idlescreen too, and it works fine one or two times, afterwards system_process freezes when trying to unlock again. (And now the stock lockscreen randomly decides not to load, I need to manually reboot when that happens)

And is there any way to stop the animated HTC bootscreen from interfering with live dmesg? (I assume it would be as simple as commenting it out from init.rc, but I haven't checked)
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
about the vkeys: yes, but the longest part will be making the part between the buttons behave as a home button.

Htc bootscreen: Set this: debug.sf.nobootanimation=1 in your build.prop, and it should work fine.
[HTC Desire 500] joe-khalil:
Yes off corse! The s-on mode is like security lock u can't play with the rom. But if u succeeded in flashing the kernel then ur good to go to flash any rom you like! I flashed ufonek rom it's smooth and nice.

How to completly and safely root desire 500 dual sim 1.26.401.2 with hboot 1.03.0001

1.Flash cwm recovery for hboot 1.03.0001 with fastboot.Connect device to usb with usb debbuging or HTC Sync enabled and type in adb "adb reboot bootloader" then when boots to fastboot type "fastboot flash recovery recovery_cwm_hboot1.03.img..

2.flash with fastboot ultimate kernel v6 type "fastboot flash boot boot6.img"

3.Go back to hboot and launch recovery put CWM-Supersu-v0.98.zip on SD card and flash it with install zip from sd card after flashing do wipe data/factory reset then wipe catche and go to advanced and wipe darlvik catche...

3.Reboot into bootloader from cwm recovery and then relock bootloader flash stock ota 1.26.401 firmware with ruu type "fastboot oem rebootRUU" then "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip"

4.Reboot into bootloader with "fastboot reboot-bootloader" then again unlock bootloader with unlockcode.bin type "fastboot flash unlocktoken unlockcode.bin"

5.Keep pressed volume - while rebooting to boot again into hboot and then reflash ultimate kernel boot6.img(this will provide full root access).

6.Reboot phone setup and enjoy with stock recovery and full root access you can update supersu to 2.02 from playstore and update its binaries normally..

Desire 500 dual sim have big problem with difficulty to turn on i lost whole day trying to figure out how to turn on and while charging it led blinks orange and from times to times vibrates 3 times at first when phone was overheated i used to put it in freezer in vacum bag and separated from its battery and after about 8min i can boot it back on...And when battery drains i used to charge it with covered temp sensors (two middle pins) waiting till bat has voltage >3.7v and after that continue with normal charging for 20min and then remove battery for 5min and put it back and phone boots..I dont suggest to use any of custom recovery neither for hboot 1.03.0001 use titanium backup for backing up apps and cpu frillz works fine with al governors..I used boot7_no_oc as ultimate kernel but its lagging and i prefer boot6 but whats your will use which you think its best..

7.You can use cwm to restore backup with link in this post with latest super su but before doing it flash ultimate kernel like in step 2 before restore do clean ROM install and wipe dalrvik catche.After restore repeat steps 3,4,5..

Ofcourse not i spent many days trying to figureout how to have full root access and have no problem with blinking oragne led and figured out that you can't have cwm recovery.If you tried to s-off before using rumrunner like me you will still have 7 vibrations before boot and while connecting charger until you see battery charging status and again 7 vibrations while booting if you turned of fastboot in power options...I was stuck in pouring 1,2,3,...,8 while doing s-off with rumrunner and aborted operation with no success of s-off..Firewater doesn't work at all.

hi, i have rooted my desire 500 dual sim and i had the blinking orange led problem but didn't care about it because everything was working fine. yesterday my phone went out of charge and after a while turned off. after i reached home plug it in usb charger but i couldn't turn it on till now. when i press and hold power button nothing happen but after about 10 or 15 minutes the phone vibrates 7 times, and still dead. i removed the battery and insert it back after 20 minutes but didn't work again. unable to boot in bootloader by holding power and volume down too.

Boot problem resolved!

Hi everyone, finally i found the solution here posted by Bruno Santana, i removed the battery for 10 seconds, insert it again and left the phone for 15 minutes and then turned it on easily!:)

my mistake was trying to power on the phone immediately after inserting the battery.

the method doesn't make any harm to phone, actually the problem is from the phone itself; since htc desire 500 dual sim will face boot problems after flashing a custom recovery, you must return to stock recovery after a successful rooting and ROM installation to remove the problems permanently.

I am thinking about creating one myself, but I don't have any experience yet... and not much time right now... but I will try anyway.

Kitkat without any modifications will be nice :)

Also, as I see it, this phone was never updated from HTC? It came with Android 4.1.2 and it never received single update? I saw lowends where HTC delivered at least one update...

It was but it was like an 60mb update.

Yes, I know, but I mean update of Android OS (so for example to 4.2 at least), not just update of HTC UI and apps.

I thought they will deliver update at least to 4.2...

The confusing thing is that it says 4.2.2 on many places, but here no one actually recieved 4.2.2 update. It would make CM bringup somewhat easier ;)
