Hello guys,

Recently, I decided to root my HTC Desire 500. I am a newbie in this topic, ( even though I rooted 2-3 devices, but they were old, so I just used SuperOneClick or Z4Root) so I tried to google it, and found this guide.

So first, I tried to unlock the bootloader. I headed to the htcdev website and followed the instructions. I installed the HTC sync as well. I turned off my phone, and launched the bootloader mode. The HTC sync popped up, and scanned my music, but in the left corner I saw a sign: No phone connected...

That was prety worrying for me, but after that, the Windows told me that it can't recognise the connected device. I continued anyway, downloaded the fastboot binary,but I got another error when I tried to run the "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" command, something like: the program can't launch because the AdbWinApi.dll is missing, then it just stopped working. I quickly grabbed the dll from the internet, and ran the command again, but I got another error message: <waiting for device>, and now I don't know how to continue. I tried plugging my phone in when it was turned on, and now everything recognised it, so somehow when it's turned off, the Windows can't identify it. USB debugging is turned on, and fastboot is turned off in the phone's settings. Some more info, that can be helpful: this is what I see in bootloader mode:

It's a single SIM version.

As I told before, I am a beginner, so please be detailed when replying, and I am sorry for wasting your time guys if it's that easy, but I was unable to find the solution... I also have several other questions in this topic after solving the problem, so please stay in touch with me. Any help would be really appreciated.

Lot of thing happened after that, I installed several drivers, but the main problem is the same: Windows can't see my phone, no matter what I try...
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
I am using Linux, so I can't really help you with this, but I will try.

Are you on windows 8? A lot of people say that adb doesn't work on winddows 8. Also using usb 3.0 didn't always work.

Try using another computer (windows 7 or below), and see if it fixes the problem. The fault is most likely not in your phone or the cable, anyway.

About AdbWinApi.dll missing: When you download fastboot, you need to keep all the files in 1 folder, else the program wont work.
[HTC Desire 500] amlozek:
Thank you for the answer, meanwhile, I read reports from lot of users, and they said it just won't work on Windows 8.1, what I'm currently using. So I will try it on a 7. Now I have all the necessary files I need. One more small question abut the guide: to get my prone fully rooted, after the partial root, I have to use a custom cernel. The problem is that I don't know how to "mount /system", because I have never done that before, and I have no idea what does it mean. So I would be really glad if you could help me. I am talking about this line:

I am pretty sure that I have to use the Kangbang, since my firmware is 1.10.401.3.
[HTC Desire 500] dummie999:
When you are in cwm there is an option:

mounts

just select it, and then select: mount /system

Cannot Unlock Bootloader !

I need help, trying to unlock my bootloader from HTCdev.com, I followed the instructions as usual (I've done this a million times) I got the .bin file, but when I use it with fastboot, the phone goes into the "yes or no" screen, but only allows me to choose the "No" option. When I press the power button on the "Yes" option nothing happens.

The phone is stuck in boot-loop, so I want to unlock the bootloader then install CWM so I can install stock/custom ROM from it.

Any and all help appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)

Root issue - unable to mount, to install SuperSU

Hi,

I got following issue with rooting HTC Desire 500 Dual SIM.

Currently I'm a at step - install Ultimate Kernel/install SuperSU.

I've generally started with:

1) [TOOL] WinDroid Universal Android Toolkit v2.4 | Unlock | Root | Flash | 90+ Devices

Unlocked bootloader

Installed Custom Recovery - TCRP

2) Here I've some issues with blinking orange LED and stack on TCRP with unresponsive touchscreen, but finally I've made it and now I'm trying to root.

3) At post #4 [How to]Root your HTC Desire 500 (this thread), there's an information to use [KERNEL][ROOT]The Ultimate Kernel for the HTC Desire 500, cause I've Software version 1.26.

Downloaded boot6.img and boot8_no_oc.img

4) I used also [Guide] How To Setup And Use Fastboot.

Using WinDroid UAT 2.4 I boot to bootloader, USB cable connected, first menu FastBoot USB.

In Windows I use:

Then select Bootloader at phone, and in next menu Recovery.

TCRP is started.

I choose Wipe (default).... and still cannot mount system.

Any suggestion, how to proceed?

Problem was TCRP, for Dual Sim should be CWM.
[HTC Desire 500] lolo2010:

rooting problem

Hi. i've been having problems already at the beginning of the process....

when i get into fastboot mode and connect it with my pc via usb, i get the following problem...

"device not recognised"

i read about a thousand of threads concerning this problem, and haven't found a solution yet. tried a different usb port, tried uninstalling drivers and installing them again, tried other usb ports, front and back panel, nothing helps...

another problem is that later, i cannot eject the drive, no matter if i phisically already ejected the phone or not.

under ejecting i have "android 1.0" and cannot do anything... even restarting the computer is impossible, it just says restarting and those dots keep looping. i can only shut it down by holding the power button for 5 secs.

when in normal mode, everything is fine, adb driver installer device status is ok, adb driver installed.

the OS is windows 8. please help.
[HTC Desire 500] yrmishu:
To install the Kangbang kernel, go here. But the installation instructions are slightly different, basically the only thing you have to do is mount /system, and then flash the zip. Don't forget to mount system!

But my device in cwm option, system is not mounting. "Error mounting /system!" shows.

I can not start my device, always cwm or boot menu comes, but not starting.

Please help me!!!!

If i can't find a ota zip, i can't edit it. help me plz

Desire 500 root help

Hello everyone,

software 1.34

hboot 1.03.001

radio 14.16.36Q4.22

I was following this tutorial in order to root the Desire 500 and get the James Rom. I followed the steps in the tutorial up to the point where I got the Ultimate Kernel (version 8 no overclock for 1.34) to get rid of the S-ON/S-OFF things.

Everything worked fine without any error messages in cwm-recovery but I still do not seem to have root rights (phone does not boot with SU-App, after getting it from the store it says I do not have root rights). Going back to the bootloader, it still says S-ON

Also, I am still unable to "mount system" and "mount devlog" in recovery.

The last thing that is a bit weird is that when I booted the phone for the first time after these procedures, it seemed it was not completely wiped. It still had some apps on it and I did not have to go through the "first phone steps" as usual. Shouldn't unlocking the bootloader have wiped the device completely?

I wonder how to get the root rights done, should I repeat the steps from the beginning? What is the best option to do a complete wipe in recovery?

I hope this thread is still alive and someone has some ideas - thanks in advance :laugh:

[HTC Desire 500] Zseblampas:
Hi, you don't need S-OFF to have James ROM installed, you need S-OFF only if you want to change the hboot to let's say the Kangbang one, but James ROM works fine with the stock HBOOT.

On the other hand, you may have issues with the CWM if it's the wrong version. With the wrong version you can't even hard reset your phone (will get an error message about cannot format system). Try to install another version of CWM and see if you can do everything right. I have on my phone the PhilZ CWM Advanced Edition 5, based on Base Edition 6.0.3.7. It's a non-touch version with a displaying issue, but everything else works like a charm.

Oh, i almost forgot: you won't need to root your phone before installing James ROM, this ROM is already rooted and the CWM doesn't need root rights from the ROM installed, it has it on it's own :D
[HTC Desire 500] Ali jee330:
I want to install cwm recovery mood in htc can you tell me how it done
[HTC Desire 500] Zseblampas:
If you have the drivers installed, copy your CWM into c:\windows\yourusername folder and rename it to something easy to type in like recovery.img,

-restart your phone into bootloader and select Fastboot and connect it to the pc with a usb cable. You must see on screen fastboot usb instead of simply fastboot

-open a command prompt in Windows with administrator privileges and type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

If everything goes fine, you get a message about the work done.

Now you can disconnect the phone from the pc and you can enter the newly installed CWM.

I hope i didn't miss anything. oh, pls read the first post before doing something wrong!
[HTC Desire 500] Ali jee330:
Kindly you send me link of driver
[HTC Desire 500] Zseblampas:
I really don't know what driver i use, because i have installed a lot of them one over the other, but here is a driver which should do the job.

P.S.: Here are the instructions from the first post, just to remind you:

"Before you begin, you might want to check for updates on your phone, because it is harder to install an update after your phone is unlocked.

If you see any english mistakes, please pm me about them. English is not my native tongue.

The steps:

1. Unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com

2. Flash a custom recovery, ClockWorkMod or TeamWinRecoveryProject

3. Flash SuperSU

4. Flash a kernel without system write protection

Alternatively:

1. Flash a custom rom

2. Simunlock your device

3. Install Busybox

4. Install an ota upgrade

Everything is at your own risk! "
[HTC Desire 500] Zseblampas:
Here you are, a copy of Philz CWM Advanced Edition v5, in my onedrive. Non-touch version, but perfectly working, except a weird displaying bug (you can live with it, i assure you).

"When i flash rom it show (remote:24 andriod _info fails)"

:confused:
[HTC Desire 500] Zseblampas:
Did you manage to flash the recovery? Or you are trying to flash the rom through adb? I think you're trying to install the rom via adb instead of using the freshly installed recovery (TWRP or CWM).

I know there are atomic clock sync utilities but those will not do for me :-( I would like the time to change to the current local time as I land in different airports, just like regular cell phones on the market.

I am even willing to purchase software to do this if needed, but after hours searching, I have come up with nothing that syncs from a cell signal.

Any ideas, links, hints, tips, tricks or _____ is much appreciated.

Dear CrozB,

It is possible to set the clock of your cell with the network time. However, for that you network operator has broadcast the network time. Therefore, you can ask the technical helpline of your operator to check if 'Time Broadcast' is enabled on the BCCH.

Greetings!

I realize that the game market is huge, but I would like to take a little bit of your time to present one of our games under development.

The game is called Nezam, and it's a puzzle/battle game of wits and strategy. Sort of reminding you about all the gem games, but it's not.

About the game and the idea.

The game is based on a board game Nezam. It will be developed for Android ( and iOS in the future ). The game basicly is a battle of mages/sorcerers/warlocks, try your luck and skills to become the #1 mage in the world. Fight with other players in online duels - one right move can change the entire scales of battle. Skillfully place the gemstones on the arena to charge your spells and use them against your opponent.

Yesterday our team finished the first prototype. We will post the first version for you to play soonish (hotseat). But for now to get your attention I will provide a few screens of the game. What is your opinion about the art? Do you have any thoughts? Please share'em in the comments! Will be looking forward to hearing from you!

(Image samples are in attachments)

P.S. Some of the graphical elements are drawn by our manager or taken from the net, but they are only temporary! :) The scroll and avatars are just samples, they will be epic later.

Hi everyone! I am game designer and project manager of Nizam a three in a row multiplayer puzzle game. I would like to receive as much commentaries and feedback as possible.

Here is a beta version of Nizam for Android (v.2.3+).

I have uploaded .apk with game (see attached files)

There are 2 gaming modes: hotseat (2 players using one phone) and online multiplayer (2 players – 2 phones). We will be happy to get your a feedback from you, guys. Have a fun!

Hey, is it easy for you to work out how to play without tutorial?

Briefly, this is a 2 players turn based game. Each turn is time limited. Player combines jewels to get rows of same color, which will deal a damage to him opponent. First one who reduces health of his opponent to zero or below, wins. If you combine row of "your" own color, you will get charge of spells (fireball, health recovery, opponent's time reducing), which activates at the end of turn. The faster you finish your turn, the more damage you deal. If player moves jewels of his opponent's color out of game board, you charge your opponent's spells.

Waiting for feedback! Thanks!
