[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
I have the feeling there is something wrong with this, i mean, 128mb for a ROM? cm11 had 250mb on huawei y300, and i guess it's not going to be smaller than 200mb ... maybe emulate it on a pc? i'll download it and look through it, but i cant and i would not flash it

thanks insurance, told them my phone was broken yesterday, and had an exchange mobile in post today *yay* so no cwm atm so i cant flash anything
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Obviously a fake.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
anyone progress on S-OFF? or somebody recently found/cooked a custom rom?

i want CM10.2 so bad for this one, but i can't cook/build a ROM :(
[HTC Desire 300] hrkh83:
I checked again and comments are in a form of a picture! taken from another site!

It is absolutely a fake... it will redirect you to endless surveys to be field!

Sorry everybody!
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
too bad .-.

i'd be okay with cm10.2, if anyone can cook he'd be a big help ...
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
we need stock kitkat rom first for desire 300
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Probably not gonna happen, HTC don't update their lower end models. We should just stick with cm 10.2
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
definitely not gonna happen, We're not getting any updates at all.... i'd love to have the ROM of the desire 310, that would be a step forward...

Anyway, CM10.2 would be good enough, and from there on we could start putting some extra features in it, but first S-OFF and a working 10.2
[HTC Desire 300] Wastl_5:
hi Luke,

sorry for the late answer. wasn't home on weekend. here's a link

https://www.dropbox.com/s/cne7m4ijec0x307/recovery.img

don't know if this will work for you but you can try
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Maybe we can get in touch with people who have developed roms for the other new Desires...
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
developing rom for desire 300 isn't hard... it's too easy but I have not desire 300
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
i have a desire 300 put my pc hardware is enough for cooking so no work to do for me :(

Thanks man, but had to send it in without relocking/reflashing stock recovery .... idk bout that insurance but it seems they sent a new one and let me keep that instead of repairing the original one and then send it back

there seems to be a CM for Desire 500 maybe their way of s-offig is working if they got a way
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Maybe someone else can test it. Do you need a system dump?
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
first of all I need a device.., but I'm not going to spend money for that
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
well take you'r brother ones ... i guess he will sacrifice his mobile for the better of him and us

i saw that Desire 500 can achieve S-OFF via a custom kernel, it's called kangbang, maybe if someone cooks one, we can have s-off so xposed is doing it's job without workarounds
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
he isn't my brother... hes's just my friend ;) he's already working on s-off but still bumping in the progress
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
So there's a developer working on S-OFF for our phone?
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
yes, my friend and me ;)

rooting

Hey guys, i havent tried rooting my new desire 300 yet, is the method posted working 100%??

The reason i want to root my phone is the 512Mb RAM, id like to swap to my sd card so i can give the phone a bit of a push (1Gb RAM or more if possible). Can that be achieved with this type of root method? Im very new to rooting and android OS so plz forgive my Noobness.

Thanks in Advance.
[HTC Desire 300] MStevie:
use this rom from 4pda.ru HTC Desire 300 Custom by borismanasyan . I tried and xposed worked 100% .

OP here : http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=529515&st=380 .

Here what you'll do :

1/ download rom from follow link : http://4pda.ru/pages/go/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdb.tt%2FDSLvj39r

2/

Put the downloaded file on the memory card;

Reboot into CWM;

Do all wipes;

Go to section Mounts and Storage, select mount system, come back;

Choose Install Zip, Choose Zip From sdcard, and select the downloaded file;

Wait until install the firmware;

Do again all wipes;

Choose install Zip from sdcard , choose UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip.

Power off .Remove the battery and insert again. Power on and Enjoy .
[HTC Desire 300] Trewlan:
If i understand you correctly, you are sugesting i flash a custom rom which seems to be developed from a russian dev. I only wanted to root my phone, which i succesfully did following the instructions posted in this thread. But im now stuck on how to actually get my MicroSD card to swap with the phone's RAM...As for custom roms, im going to wait a bit more untill more dev's make roms for the desire300, since i dont know any russian and cant read their forums (google translate is at the most incoherent).
[HTC Desire 300] MStevie:
As far as i known, SPSPaWn, who help us to root and install CWM on HTC Desire 300 in xda , also is a developer in 4pda.ru , and his hometown is a neighbors's Russian. And u dont believe in him ?
[HTC Desire 300] nicolahaye:
Ok so my gf just got this device, I'm unfortunately no Dev at all and i saw you said the desire 300 won't get an update but it's only 3-4 months old that's weird isn't it ? It should at least get 4.2.2 ?

Edit : just found that http://htcsource.com/2014/01/will-your-htc-handset-be-updated-to-android-4-4-heres-what-we-think/

So let's hope :)
[HTC Desire 300] MStevie:
Totally. But i heard Desire 300 will go straight to 4.4 kitkat, because they dont develop 4.2 or 4.3 for Desire 300.
[HTC Desire 300] nicolahaye:
Nice to hear that :) is it possible to light the capacitive buttons ? I didn't find it in settings and since she just got it she won't let me play with it :p and she doesn't seem to care but I do :p

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

Still no dedicated section on the forum I guess ? I didn't find one...
[HTC Desire 300] Trewlan:
I wasnt disrespecting the Dev in any way, im just saying that i dont know russian so i cant be sure what others are saying in the forum if it is any good if it has any buggs and so forth! I dont even know what android version is supposed to be! And since there is no other oficial thread for this phone i asked if anyone has rooted succesfully and managed to get the swap RAM function in any way and if so how...
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
Man this root method is 100% working tested by me... and you, other silly guys, desire 300 will not receive any JB update as I know. It must get kitkat... and not only for desire 300... almost all of the htc devices will get kitkat update later
[HTC Desire 300] nicolahaye:
Great news man :)
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Nobody knows that yet. Our best hope is to get someone to compile Cyanogenmod for our device.
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
Only U don't know dat... HTC just posted dat soon almost all of the htc devices will get 4.4 kk update. And in this list there are also desire 300 and newer one models
[HTC Desire 300] ffroms:
Well, for now, to me is more important S-OFF then new ROM.
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
http://www.htc.com/us/go/htc-software-updates/

Here's the official list, for now we're not on it.
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
They just deleted
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
ou better be not spreading any rumours ot there...

Anyway, anyone got progress on S-OFF? someone looked into the Desire 500 method? maybe you can make a custom kernel for that, it does not seem that hard i guess, but i'm not having that much knowledge about that

Some off topic right here... I had a crack on my mobile lately

i have an insurance for it and they eventually sent me a brand new phone instead of repairing and sending back the old one... means no unlocked bootloader, no root, sad for this, bur i'm not going to unlock/root it without a S-OFF possibility.

Greetz
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Isn't S-OFF only used for things like flashing the radio partition? I don't think it's needed for custom ROMs to work, we would be better off concentrating on getting Cyanogenmod to work than getting S-OFF.
[HTC Desire 300] ffroms:
No, not really. Some program won't run properly without S-OFF like SU or AdAway because they need full access to all system files and folders.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Actually security flag prohibits users to access /radio, /system and some other partitions

/radio is not necessary, but /system is very useful for rooted phones, for example using xposed frameworks wouldn't need a workauround
[HTC Desire 300] nicolahaye:
I know that's got nothing to do with root and such but since theres no specific thread I was wondering about the battery : I know that with my HTC one xl which is rooted and all I better not let the battery go to zero but charge it once it gets to 10℅, is it the same with this device or is it OK to let it go to zero ?
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
It's ok to let it go below 10%, just don't fully empty it to 0%.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
I empty my battery almost always ;)

It's not going to completely zero, at 1% it shuts down, so dont worry ;)
[HTC Desire 300] dummie999:
Both "we" from the desire 500 and the guys from the desire 600 use rumrunner S-off for the desire x (proto). You can try, but be careful! It might as well hardbrick your device. It did work for us.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Any hints on what to avoid/preferably do? Did it hardbrick any 500's/600's?
[HTC Desire 300] dummie999:
It did not, but that was probably just dumb luck. I dont know much about s off, I just wanted to notify u
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Well, thanks for the news!

I'm an unlucky person, insurance is not going to buy me another phone, so I only try if it is 100% successful. ;)
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
So someone just needs to try it...

EDIT: Worth noting that the Desire 300 is more similar to the Desire X than the 500 or 600 were, they have the same chipset so it will most probably work.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Did somenone try yet?
[HTC Desire 300] nicolahaye:
Nope :s but I don't actually own the device, it's my girlfriend's so I don't wanna mess it up or she'd kill me :p
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Well maybe desire x and desire 300 are close enough to actually port a Custom Rom from there

can someone try?

Ironically is that a lot of Custom ROMs are based on our Device, but no one does it vice versa
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Here are the download links for someone (brave) to try:

Windows - http://rumrunner.us/rumrunner_downloads/rumrunner_proto_0.7.1.zip

Linux - http://rumrunner.us/rumrunner_downloads/rumrunner_proto_0.7.1.tgz
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
i would be brave, but i didnt unlock my new one

also my pc sucks d*cks in hell

even bootloader unlock wasnt working for me
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Did you remember to uninstall HTC Sync? Do you have the adb and fastboot drivers?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
I did uninstall, i do have adb and fastboot, and they're both working... only thing is that flashing the Unlock Token takes too much time... I waited 2 hours but nothing happened, so yeah.

when i did it on my friends PC, it worked on first attempt.
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
Any chance you could try the S-OFF on your friends PC too?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Well first I cant visit him sooner or later, second is I'm not going to risk another swap with my insurance, so chances are pretty low i' doing it

Gesendet von meinem ME173X mit Tapatalk
[HTC Desire 300] Ricky Divjakovski:
This is a PROPER WORKING root method for most HTC devices.

flash in recovery, it is universal and automounts system and is a universal method.

made by my rom kitchen :)

**EDIT: and busybox is included.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Well obviously flashing your file compared to flashing supersu isnt really a step forward
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Anyone tried S-OFF yet?

I can't, insurance policy says they dont swap for root related stuff and i dont want a brick

@OP: Can I translate this tutorial and post it at androidpit.de?
[HTC Desire 300] LF_Nikita:
Hey all

I need help.. I did all steps and rooted phone. But now i need to remove it if possible.

How to completly remove root from my Desire 300?

I am new in this and I apologise if I asked stupid question.

Regards
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Open superuser app, uninstall root, ready ;)

Thenk power off phone, fastboot mode, follow relock instructions on htcdev
[HTC Desire 300] guguisimo:
this guide works on Desire 601? That post (601) it's very complicated to folow
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
You should only use the guide for your device. It may seem complicated at first, but if you go step by step I'm sure you'll get it. Don't risk messing up your device if there is a guide for yours.
[HTC Desire 300] guguisimo:
Thanks! but there isn't a guide, we are waiting for mounths for it. Thanks anyway!
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Well if you have a Desire 600/601 dedicated recovery then you can do it, because its the classic flashing process ;) but by flashing the desire 300 cwm you most likely won't be able to use the recovery
[HTC Desire 300] jukson:
Go to storage and then disable fastbot ;)
[HTC Desire 300] kimitza:
Guys,i need a litle help. I managed to flash cwm and root, without any problems.

After 2 months,the phone got stucked on htc logo.

If i turn it off, i get 6 vibrations and htc logo.

Can't enter recovery.

I can enter fastboot mode.

Any suggestions?Thanks.
[HTC Desire 300] Prabesh07:
Hey guys, my phone hangs up when i make a call and i was trying to upgrade the firmware.

I unlocked bootloader, rooted, installed cwm mod. how ever i get the error status(0) when trying to flash the russian firmware.

Is there cyanogen mod available for this device? also i dont know what s-off is.

Thanks
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
There is no firmware upgrade

Do a factory reset from the recovery

If you don't know S-OFF, then you shouldn't care about it

Reflash cwm, flash super su (the most recent version) , relock the bootloader

If that doesn't help you, i don't know whats up
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
GUYS, IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!

xda's did our own section! Yes!
[HTC Desire 300] luxb:
One small step for man, one giant leap for the Desire 300. Now if only we could get someone to test rumrunner s-off, and if we could find some ROM developers.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Every step at a time. But yeah you're right
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
We're gonna thanks to xda for our own section :D
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Well, it seems my pc is too bad for doing the unlocking process ... did any troubleshoting possible, but no results ... and the only pc i could use is not available becuase the owner is on vacation :crying:
[HTC Desire 300] ffroms:
For anyone having problems with provided SuperSU (1.86) try this one.

It works great for me. After long time I have SU as it should be.
[HTC Desire 300] caleblich:
this isn't working IM DOING EVERYTHING WHAT YOU SAY and its not working... SO FRUSTRATING!

I'm up to the part where i plug in the phone on bootloader mode, HOW DO I PUT THE ADB (Android folder) on my phone when the sync program doesnt show i've plugged in my phone?!?!?!?!?!?!

Is there an APK i can try to root my phone ? This method is too confusing even though I've followed the instructions./
[HTC Desire 300] burduli:
Make sure you doing everything right. I will add a new root method today :)
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Make a new folder on C:\ called Android

This is where you put the fastboot and adb files, and the Unlock_code.bin you download in the unlocking process. Before starting, open cmd in \Android as an Admin or else open cmd and type cd \Android

And then you got to turn off the phone and plug it in in fastboot mode, so no adb needed here
[HTC Desire 300] caleblich:
hey man I've done everything the way what you said, but the tutorial is just too confusing man because Im in fastboot mode and it isnt showing up on my pc that its connected :(
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Select fastboot in bootloader, and then plug in the device ... It should say fastboot usb in the bootloader screen

Are you using a USB-Hub? Try another USB-Port
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Hi guys. One question: does bootloader needs to be unlocked to just root the phone?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Yes,it does ;)
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Hmm, ok. Friend asked me to root it for him, Ill do it tomorow. Any custom roms for this phone?

Its not a bad phone tough, I have a Huawei with same specs, but this Htc runs smoother.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
As a hint, there is a TWRP in this forum and i suggest you either take that one or the CWM which is uploaded in the same thread

the PhilZ CWM here is not that good, it got some visual problems and it is not able to flash the CM10 properly

we have a CM10 port in beta stage, its quite smooth, better than Stock sense of course, though it has some flaws, but mainly they do not affect the usability
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
[MENTION=5381029]LukeHorizon[/MENTION]

I prefer TWRP, have it on my Huawei. So, I am going to het his phone rooted tomorow, and Ill talk here if something goes wrong. Yeah and that link for bootloader unlock, its working right?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
well, its easier if you directly go to htcdev.com and follow that tutorial
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Ok, nice. And whats procedure for getting back to stock rom, like some flash tool from HTC or I just have to do a backup of stock with TWRP?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Just make a backup of stock rom first, without flashing supersu

Restore that backup, reset stock recovery by re-flashing it through fastboot

And relock bootloader with fastboot oem lock when all this is done
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Ok, will do that. Is re-flashing stock recovery needed for stock rom to work or TWRP can stay?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
No, it can stay ;)
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
So I dont get it. do I flash the Philz recovery from this thread, or I flash this recovery: http://xdaforums.com/desire-300/general/recovery-cwm-recovery-6-0-2-8-htc-t2860761

Im a little confused xD
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
From the thread you just posted the link
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
So I just follow the instructions from this guide but flash twrp from other thread?

Nice, thanks.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Yeah, exactly ;)
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Guys does unlocking bootloader erases phone data? On mine Huawei it does so Im asking.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Yup, full factory reset ;)

Did you use DC unlocker on your huawei? I unlocked my device like that and it didnt reset stuff
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Nope I did it with some terminal comands I forgot which.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
fastboot oem unlock i guess

btt: did it work?
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
I managed to unlock bootloader, install recovery and root. Everything is working fine.

Could you suggest me now some tweaks and stuff, does xposed work on this device?
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Yes, xposed works, but only if you choose automatic recovery installation ;)

GravityBox is then working just fine, although network and wifi icon are not colourable
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Ok, nice, I will see with my friend if he does want to install xposed and stuff.

But I think he will wait for this CM port to get done so then I will install him that.
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Its actually already usable ;)
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:
Nice, but Its his phone I cant tell him to install if he doesnt want :D
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Yeah i see ;)
[HTC Desire 300] siyavash1361:

[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Yes

Flash cwm from other thread and everything is just fine
[HTC Desire 300] BumManlol:
Hey, I'm sorry to be a nuisance, but I need some assistance.

I've had my root working fine for around 6 months or something. but my desire 300 installed an update and now I get "There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem"

So I was thinking of flashing the newer zip (UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip). I have the older one at the moment.

Will this fix the problem? If so how do I properly flash it? (as in do I need to wipe anything or can I just flash it)

More info here: http://xdaforums.com/general/help/update-dont-root-t2930477

Thanks
[HTC Desire 300] LukeHorizon:
Just flash it. It is going to fix it.
[HTC Desire 300] BumManlol:
just turn off and flash? ok thanks.
[HTC Desire 300] krule031:

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pingaan:
I've been using OpenVPN and Privatetunnel for some time now and it's been working fine.

When connected to a VPN I'm not able to connect to my local devices anymore after updating to 4.4. Everything else online works fine.

I read about some VPN but that came with 4.4 but was supposed to be fixed at 4.4.1, but I'm running 4.4.2 (stock, rooted).

Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Cheers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pingaan:
No one, eh?

I suppose the only thing for me to do is to downgrade to 4.3 until possibly 4.4.3.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] pingaan:
If anyone should face the same issue, I downgraded to 4.3 and it worked great again.

It sucks to downgrade but I'm hopeful that there will be a fix in the near future.
