Yeah!

By the way KitKat will run smoothly even on devices with 512mb!

I bet we are gonna get 4.4 at the end of March at all countries :)
[HTC Desire 500] phillixSE-W:
but.... we want KitKat now! :D
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
HTC's priority was to update the One family, then we will get KitKat ;)

They are working on it, let's hope they will do it as fast as they can :cowboy:
[HTC Desire 500] R4Y3K:
What about rooted phones can we get it but by updating the phone or we have to flash it
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
What?

HTC will send the 4.4 rom to all carriers and then we will be able to download the system directly from the phone and without losing the files
[HTC Desire 500] R4Y3K:
No i mean that i am using a root and when i try to update the phone it updates but it force restart and back again ti the last version
[HTC Desire 500] DahakePL:
Flash stock rom back and remove root

For check current state use this local manifest and update system/core by commits from this state.

Navigation Bar

Hello!

I wanted to enable navigation bar on my Desire 500. I have full root (cwm). I tried modifying build.prop under /system and tried to use the xposed gravity box. No luck. Tried enable both still, nothing. :crying:

Any ideas? :)

Thx DocOmegaWeapon
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
I think the problem is userland, but the logs are only from init. you also need the logs from the kernel and userland.

I think the phone tries to load the rest of the os, which fails, and then it tries again. But you can't see that, because you only see the logs from init. I assume adb doesn't work?

Try adding this line: write /sys/class/android_usb/android0/f_adb/on 1

It should enable adb, no matter what the rest of the settings is, but I'm not sure it'll work.

My opinion about recovery

People i suggest you to if you have to use cwm recovery flash only standard for your hboot version and dont use no misc variant yet you have to wait without battery on standard cwm 10min when you power-off device but its safer many times..Not only me but others when their battery got drained with installed cwm_no_misc said that they coulnt anymore boot their devices not in hboot not in recovery especially when fastboot is left on in power settings..But i wannna also say that twrp is also dangerous if you have problem like me battery is showing always charging because you cant click any button dont react on touch so use only standard cwm by phillz,for hboot 1.02.0001,hboot 1.03.0001 depends which hboot you have..One time i got stuck because i had twrp and my phone automatically boots in recovery because problem in motherboard related for battery always showing charging and i couldnt click any button but for god sake i left off in fastboot in power settings and i saved my phone after i keept pressing both power and volume down while putting battery in

You have to use windows 7 x64 instead if you had one windows 8.1 have problems i heard..

---------- Post added at 12:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:42 AM ----------

You can s-off device with rumrunner proto 0.71 with i will upload..First you need to have windows 7 x64 or windows xp x86..Next turnoff firewall,antimalvare,antivirus and other things like htc sync samsung kies sony pc companion and others not only running programs in taskbar but every process in task manager connected to this apps..Then you have to have rooted last version of os 1.26.401.2 on dual sim with unsecure kernel boot6 or boot8_no_oc whichever and with its stock recovery for that os which is flashed from unpacked firmware zip for that os..Next you have to first kill adb server before running rumrunner proto 0.71..Then with debugging on with usb plug phone to usb 2.0 port not usb 3.0 and not usb hubs..Then start rumrunner proto 0.71 and dont panic if you phone have 7 vibrations its permanent but nothing scary..With s-off you can use no-frillz cpu on stock kernel,install busybox from playstore,supersu can update binary normally also on stock kernel..You can also change cid and try asian rom but i preffer european one until they first release kitkat for our phone..Also i wanna say that you must set in user account control off in control panel secury settings..

I have managed to completely root it (unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, install SuperSU 2.46, BusyBox 3.4.33 and Ultimate Kernel 8) by following this post

When I run the command

strings -n 8 /dev/block/mmcblk0p7

either from my computer using ADB or directly from within the phone itself in the Terminal App, I get the following output:

I am not able to find any 8 digit combination that MAKES SENSE for a CODE.

Can you please help?

Thanks
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
Are you 100% sure your phone is sim-locked? The last time smb said that he couldn't find the code, his phone wasn't locked at all...

Try putting in another sim card, and see if it works
[HTC Desire 500] mischoo:
Thanks for the hint!

Before starting the rooting process, I have tried to put a SIM from a different carrier an the phone asked for the unlock code.

I must admit that i haven't tried again after finishing the rooting process, because i was stuck at the strings output :)

After your suggestion in your previous post, I tried again to put a different SIM and amazingly it worked like a charm.

I guess that the rooting process "erased" somehow the SIM lock.

Just wondering what exactly it changed (besides unlocking the bootloader using the binary from htcdev.com and overwriting the kernel)

Anyway, many thanks for your valuable input!

Cheers

Switch off phone. Remove SD card. Then take out battery, plug battery in then try starting phone. CWM recovery takes time to start it you reboot from recovery.

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 PM ----------

if you flashed CWM recovery. When you switch off phone, you need to take out battery, plug it back in then start the phone. It's how it works with CWM recovery. Also, if you reboot from CWM recovery options allow phone to automatically turn on , it can take upto 5 minutes.

thanks but what about factory reset . every time i make it nothing changed
[HTC Desire 500] Rammy_sd:
I'm testing it out too. CWM's this version for our device has some bugs. I mean I also am unable to commit some actions. For example: I cannot do a custom backup, It just brings me back to same screen again. I'm not the guy you should ask any more because I also don't have much knowledge about it. I can recommend this, If any option is not working, don't try it again & again or you may end up bricking your device.

I own Dual SIM version (z4dug) software version 1.27.702.7 (The device is Indian) & am looking for STOCK firmware (recovery) & STOCK ROM because I've read here that if you're on CWM & if your battery fully drains or if you accidentally leave FAST BOOT checked in device settings your phone will not turn on forever. I'm just looking to unroot & go back completely to stock. Any help would be appreciated. :)
