HTC is saying they rolling out update and we must regularly check update in our devices. April or February? :D Somebody is trolling.

Hey guys!

I have a single-sim Desire 500 with Kang Kernel etc. installed. Now that i've tried to install a stock ROM, recovery etc, the stock recovery wouldn't work. Just a black screen and then it reboots. I'm planning to sell my device, so I want it to be 100% stock. Anyone know a solution to this problem? :)
[HTC Desire 500] phillixSE-W:
I had the same problem :( I could only go to stock recovery.
[HTC Desire 500] vancak:
Try this tutorial which worked for me, might not work for you. No promises.

Download the OTA update.

Unzip it somewhere. In the same directory, you’ll find a file called "firmware.zip".

Unzip this too.

Reboot the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode, this can be done using the command:

adb reboot bootloader

Get the CID of your phone, this can be done using the command:

fastboot getvar cid

Match this in the "android-info.txt" file found in the "firmware.zip" file.

If it doesn’t match, don’t go any further.

If you’re still here, I guess your CID matched :)

It’s time to lock the bootloader again, so we can flash the firmware update later.

This can be done using the command:

fastboot oem lock

Your phone will reboot.

Reboot it once again, this time to OEM update mode, this can be done using the command:

adb reboot oem-78

Flash the firmware update, this can be done using the command:

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

If this complains without getting you a green progressbar on the screen, try it again – the second time it usually sticks.

Once this process completes, reboot the phone again in the new bootloader, this can be done using the command:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Tadaa, after this, you have stock boot.img, hboot.img, radio.img, recovery.img and etc.

:) :) :)

Good luck.

:good::good:
[HTC Desire 500] Tobseren:
Wow thanks! I will try it out. First problem though - where can I find the OTA update? :)

EDIT: Found an OTA, and tried your solution out, didn't work unfortunately :( Whenever I choose to access the recovery from the bootloader, it reboots, tries to boot something, from what it looks like, but never succeed and then reboots to system. It looks like something is installed, but it just doesn't boot at all. I can hear that my computer recognizes the phone while showing the blank screen.

Answer from HTC MEA :)
[HTC Desire 500] yonarg:
i think if HTC had any plans for ever updating the D500, they would have at least released the 4.2 update.

this is the only new phone on the market today with 4.1.

i would very much like to get the 4.4 update, but i would be satisfied if we even get 4.2..

i would not put to much weight on HTC facebook pages (of any region), most of the replies there are just Reps copy/pasting answers they were told to provide, regardless of what the question is.

HTC Egypt say : no update till now for your phone and no info about update...
[HTC Desire 500] Fliwatt:
Hello,

this problem has already been discussed in the comment section of the root video tutorial.

Steps you need to do:

1.Take your charger and put it in the socket, do not connect it using the pc

2.Charge your phone for ca. 2 hours

3.Unplug the charger, open the case and remove the battery

4.Wait 20 minutes

5.Put the battery back in and now try to boot the phone

Good Luck

Hi Guys, ive modded the Stock Rom to deliver you a basic Custom Rom.

It didn't take more than 2 hours to add some basic things, remove some unneeded apps and clean the rom.

It's not even a real custom Rom. Ive just modded my Stock Rom and made a CWM Backup 8)

I don't know if i will release some updates. I'm thinking of making small update zips,which mod the rom the way i like. Or i'll release a new Backup every update.

Keep your eyes opened :)

PS: It's much smoother and much faster! I'm really into it.

I guess for me it will be enough to have clean rom without Sense modifications. I want to try it, I think I won't miss Sense so much and the performance and battery life will be better.

Somebody already did something for our device: https:// github.com/0lvin/htc_z4u Alas, it does not work, compiling cwm results in a black screen

:( I have no idea why it isn't working, I checked most of the values in BoardConfig.mk It does work if you compile it with cm 10.1

github for cwm for the htc desire x, our 'ancestor': https:// github.com/ProtouProject/android_device_htc_protou

github for cwm for the galaxy quattro (same processor (snapdragon 200 8625Q) says wikipedia):

https:// github.com/OUDhs/android_device_samsung_delos3geur

Someone already made a working cwm for our device (d500 philz image), but I can't find the source. Anyone any idea where I can find it?

/cache/recovery/last_log gives some info, but not everything

2. flash the stock recovery (see my previous post)

3. re-lock the bootloader with fastboot oem lock

i'm not sure it will work, but it probably will
[HTC Desire 500] Wizard21:
1, ok

2, ok

3, ok

No i have, black screen..... :)

If i unlock again, i have a "working" phone... but cannot install the new update, because bootloader its unlocked.

I want to flash the original stock rom, but signature failed....

What should i do, if i want to make an original phone?! :D Like if i opened the box.

Thank You.

But your phone does boot with the bootloader re-locked, but without the update, right?

you are sure you have everything stock??

When you boot to bootloader, does your phone say relocked???

Unlocked bootloader - started and working

Re-locked - only black screen and i can only go to stock recovery...

I managed to unlock the bootloader, fine.

I managed to flash the recovery, fine. I say fine, Windows 8.1 had difficulty in figuring out what the hell my phone was, settling on a CD-ROM drive and then telling me it couldnt not recognise the device when it was in fastboot ¬_¬ Luckily I have a Windows XP laptop lying around.

What I couldn't do what install the "James Rom". It refused too, point blank. Aside from the Recovery having a strange bug in which moving up or down also moves the screen position left and right, I'm now trying to figure out how the hell to put my backed up rom back, which Recovery refuses to because of an "MD5" mismatch. I don't care, why does that matter, just let me restore my friggin phone. The next step for me is to try and reinstall the stock rom but I have doubts that that will even work at this point :/

Why does this seem to be the only thread for this device (at least on this site) and why does there seem to be no official recovery, CWM or otherwise. It's a damn good phone, and virtually no one seems to have done anything with it.
