No...it isn't.. You have to flash it from recovery.... Install zip option... From SD card...put d zip in our SD card and then go to recovery and then flash

META-INF/com/google/android change here

Hope this helps :)

I have HTC 6160 i guess its the dual sim variant. Build number 1.16.1402 CL279464 release-keys. This phone runs android 4.2.2 but its has bloated chinese apps and no Google play. Am new to HTC phones and a bit of a newbie. But i really need to help my friend update the phone to 4.4 or something better. It unlocked and picks my simcard in Kenya but the problem is it won't agree to install apps such as Google play. My worry is trying to follow the guide then screw up since guys are talking about HTC zara_dug and am not sure if that's the model i have. Mayank i have sent you a friend request on FB may be you can assist me upgrade and root this phone

Thank in Advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elvismsmarta:
i have managed to unlock the bootloader and root the phone but my challenge is the phone uses HTC market place instead of the usual Google playstore.My efforts to install Google playstore have not been successful and i keep getting errors Unfortunately google playstore has stopped working. Am learning a lot about this new phone. A link to working latest firmware probably 4.4 or 4.3 will be very helpful guys. I followed the instructions above and everything went well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] derdarm:
Did you used "Phillz Recovery" as suggested by mayankneil?

Looks like it worked for me. Hurray!

So I rooted my device, now what should I do with it?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] elvismsmarta:
Yes, i did. am thinking of using Gapps for android 4.2.2 since upgrading this phone is giving me a headache. If that works everything will be cool. My main aim is for Google playstore to work so i can load it with apps. If it was my phone i wouldn't be worried much since i can install most of the APK manually. The owner is not a tech savvy and need playstore to download most of the apps

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:17 PM ----------

Me too i am rooted. i have managed to remove the bloated apps i don't need on the phone. Installed Gapps for Android ver 4.2.2 and everything seems to work fine. I don't plan to upgrade to Kitkat or 4.3 but if i get a way will do. Thanks to Mayankneil he assisted me via Chat :good::good:

no network. imei null... urgent .. please help

a friends of mine has this phone and he accidentally deleted some of the Sense files on his phone and the phone stock in boot logo after that. he took it to a repair shop , they couldnt fix it. after 3 days of struggling with it I managed to boot a recovery on it with fastboot and flash a stock 1.18 jb rom on it. everything works fine now, but it doesnt recognize simcards . no network signal.

*#06# shows : null null .

setting - - > info --- > ... --> baseband unknown.

I tried to rewrite the imeis with fastboot , but it fails.

however the fastboot imei test shows the sim1 imei code correctly

I've tried to flash a radio img .zip file from this thread on the phone but it shows installation aborted .

the phone is unlocked and has s-off.

I'm begging you can someone help me with this ??

a download link for acomplete Stock ROM that contains radio files for this phone would be appreciated...

this is the worst developer friendly device I've ever came across to..

Where I can download this RUU?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
This is not the right boot.img this kernel is for ZARA_CL a.k.a CDMA version see in Software information -> More -> Build Number (CL293401)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mayankneil:
don t know why

still working on my dual sim!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
what can I do ? :/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:
There is some oddity I admit. HTC RUU is encrypted as you know, I use ruuveal to decrypt it. However zara_dug is not (at least officially) supported by ruuveal, I tried my luck with "./ruuveal zara_ul [ruu.zip] [ruu_decrypt.zip]" and "./ruuveal zara_cl [ruu.zip] [ruu_decrypt.zip]", zara_cl works, this may be the source where the suspicious zara_cl resemblance comes from.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:
But how did you get this (from boot or recovery img)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
Turned on phone -> Settings -> About -> Software Information -> More -> Build Number

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/l6hhwiiy0...50.28.16.131114_release_341460_signed_2_4.zip

You need to ruuveal it to get *.img files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
where did you get this RUU ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mayankneil:
HI

is der any way to decrypt dat RUU without RUUVEL??

Some people say that it is possible to aquire root with aid of Kingo Android Root.

But is seems require bootloader unlock.

Is there any chance to get temporary root priveledges with stock locked bootloader to make clean stock dump of anything?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
as David Roid mentioned with CydiaImpactor it is possible to get temp root and dump *.img files...

visit: http://cydiaimpactor.com

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] andreya108:
This method may work only for 1.16 firmware.

I've got 1.18 already and master key exploit of cydiaimpactor is not working for me.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jmz:
Did you take the OTA at some point though?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
I installed through Software Updates
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:
If you never have resetted/formatted your internal/external storage since OTA, the OTA files might be still there. Go and dig.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
resetted :/
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jmz:
If you are s-off you can take the ruu that was posted, open the text file that is in it. Change main ver to all 9s. Reboot into bootloader,

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

If it errors out and reboots your phone immediately run the fast boot flash command again.

In theory this will get you back to the older version which will allow you to get the OTA again

There is always a chance for brick when doing something like this so be careful and don't assume anything

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jmz:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:
It could also because he is in India, HTC may not have started to push 1.18 in India.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
Hello David, In this case if user uses Proxy Client for example Russian Proxy Server It'll get OTA ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:
Here are stock boot.img and recovery.img extracted from 1.18 RUU. Please unzip to get img files. Got them (and the whole 1.18 RUU zip) from a Chinese forum.

I already built a custom recovery using http://builder.clockworkmod.com, no luck still, same situation as with 1.16, i.e. the phone boots into fastboot.

Frustrated.

[MENTION=1219335]jmz[/MENTION], I'm confused that the builder website prompts stock recovery.img to proceed, while according to some other CWM porting guide stock boot.img is needed at the "mkvendor.sh" step. How so? My guess is either one will suffice for custom recovery compilation?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mayankneil:

SHOULD i flash on my 1.16 firmware?? d boot.img?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] David Roid:
If your phone is working fine on 1.16 (just no root/no custom recovery), I say don't flash any. Clearly 1.16 boot.img doesn't go with 1.18 phone, and vice versa.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gugucha:
wait for David... don't flash the boot.img... flash the whole RUU 0P4EIMG.zip...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mayankneil:
