Hi bro,

Do you have stock recovery of this device named a5-dwg-asia-india? Device is now running on lollipop 5.0..

If you have it please give me a download link.

Thanks in advance...
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
1. For TWRP, hardware matters. Not software. So no problem with Sense 6. :)

2. After unlocking bootloader, your warranty will be void. :(

3. This dual sim backup will not work on your single sim device.

Stock backup for single sim variant : http://xdaforums.com/desire-816/development/stock-cwm-backup-t2815788 (Or you can make a backup of your own :) )
[Desire 816 General] hongaun:
So I guess I should be able to flash in TWRP without any problems then....

Also, is the wp_mod necessary/compulsory? I just need SDCard write access so I think I can just boot into TWRP and replace platform.xml.

So far...anyone actually hard-brick their phone from this process? Preparing for the worst....this phone is a lot more troublesome compared to my previous Xperia phone:crying:
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Its your choice between WP_Mod.ko or platform.xml

I'm already done with wp_mod.ko. Its a bit risky. I've got succeeded only in my 4th try.

Last phone of mine was also xperia. HTC is very complicated when compared to Xperia.

Next time I'll try some chinese flagship like Oneplus or Xiaomi.
[Desire 816 General] hongaun:
Yeah... Oh well I guess I'll just use platform.xml then. wp_mod only removes the write protection for /system directory right? I should still be able to access/write /data directory even without wp_mod?

oh bummer...just found out that the local variant has no nfc :crying:
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Haven't tried platform.xml bro.

Wp_mod removes all write protection in kitkat.
[Desire 816 General] vbrsekhar:
Hi jithumon, thanks a lot for your backup. May I please ask if this is newer than the current 1.45.708.1 ? Also, I soft bricked my HTC desire 816W dual sim Arabian version on the very first week I bought when trying to root it. So I had to use someone elses backup, which actually screwed up my Radio and DSP details, however, the phone is working perfectly fine. I have received this new software update but I am unable to install it because my phone was rooted and modified. So installing the stock recovery will allow me to load the new update or I shall have to give up on the stock updates and stick to the backups only ?

Does your backup alters the Radio and DSP versions as well ? Also, does your rom has the dual download mode, which means you can download using the wifi and mobile network at the same time for the quicker download of the content ? I bought my mobile from Dubai and it used to have it. But once I restored my mobile with the backup, that feature is gone completely.
[Desire 816 General] hongaun:
Restore your recovery to stock, then you should be able to do OTA updates. you might need re-root your phone from previous experience with other phones.

Successfully rooted mine without a hitch. Unlock bootloader was easy, and then relocking instructions was also given by HTC. Currently my phone bootloader status is unlocked. However my phone doesn't work with TWRP, not sure what you guys meant by W/D/T version. Used CWM but din't use platform.xml or wp_mod. Using ES file explorer, i can write to anywhere in /device and /ext_sd except for /system. Good enough for me :D Thanks for the help!
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Yes. For OTA updates u'll need stock recovery.

w/d/t is the regional(Dual, single etc.) versions of our cell.

When you'll get the next update of your software, access of ES file explorer will be gone.
[Desire 816 General] hongaun:
I see....noob questions.... where do you check that? :angel:
[Desire 816 General] vbrsekhar:
Yeah I did install the stock recovery, but didn't work as my phone is bricked and installed the backup that screwed up radio and dsp details. I heard that whoever does the same thing are having troubles installing the stock Rom. So I have up on that and installed king sense 2, which has the latest updated ota.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
You'll need to wait till HTC releases RUU for stock.

King Sense is working fine?

& Don't try Indian version device backup on your phone as there'll be radio problems.

Try the same version device backup(816W) if available or ask someone to post the same

Someone posted about this before.
[Desire 816 General] vbrsekhar:
I tried the backup from the Pakistani guy, which could be Indian version and reason why my radios got messed up. May be I should wait for stock RUU as you said. Thanks mate for the classification.

hi how is the root working on your stock rom? have you tried xposed frameworks? or titanium backup pro?

HTC is not putting their time on Desire 816 though it made a lot of money for them. they refuse to release the RUU's its been much of a wait now.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
I've also found it yesterday only. I think I had flashed SU before taking backup. :(

I'm using Xposed. It works smoothly.

How did you know that the refused to release RUU??? I need it very badly, I'm not able to do OTA update.
[Desire 816 General] vbrsekhar:
They refused to release RUU and that is why it is not showing up in htc developer page. But HTC Onem8 has the RUU already. That is why [MENTION=1525325]jacktackle[/MENTION] has stated that way :)

[Desire 816 General] jacktackle:
probably the boot.img you use is not for your variant you must have flashed boot from 816W. every single thing counts.

forget about the OTA this device do not have much support so lets wait and see if they will release some RUU's or S-off if onepagebook free from his M8 or Max or Butterfly devices.
[Desire 816 General] jithumon:
Yeah..... That'll be the problem.

You just opened my eyes bro... :) Thankyou a lot. It was the 816w stock recovery doing the job.

I just updated it with stock Indian recovery & it worked.
