[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
I wouldn't try it. I don't know the partitions. It may soft brick the phone.
[HTC Desire 610] phatmanxxl:
Outstanding, its not worth doing anything with S-On. Thanks!
[HTC Desire 610] metodija.andonov:
how to install?

Hi. I have also problems with freezeing. Please tell me how to use/install this root-v4.zip?
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
I missed this post but have been aware of s-off for awhile. What are you flashing now that you have s-off?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
I'm not yet, waiting on funds to be able to do so. Lol
[HTC Desire 610] phatmanxxl:
Same here. I'll probably S-off this Friday budget permitting.
[HTC Desire 610] J_T_:
The freezing problem is still there for me but its not frequent so it's not a big problem for me but the WiFi is.

I can't seem to hold a WiFi connection in certain rooms in my house where the signal is slightly weaker and I'm certain it worked before this process.

I'm guessing it's a problem with the kernel but unfortunately I can't replace my kernel because I never got a chance to back it up. Is anyone else having WiFi problems and have they found a fix?

Oh and ClearD, are you aware that the WiFi instability is a problem?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Nope. Wasn't aware at all, and you're the first to report it. We don't have a new insecure boot image/kernel to use with this, so that very well may be the problem. If you can, get a backup from someone who's using the same version of rom as you, using the v4 root tool, and you can flash that to return yours to stock state.
[HTC Desire 610] J_T_:
I have the UK Vodafone version which isn't very popular unfortunately. I have found the source code for the kernel from HTC Dev but I have no idea how to compile it. If I were to flash the stock kernel over the jmz one would the root be affected?

Also adb backups don't backup the kernel do they, because I ran one before I started this as you recommended but it seems to only backup app and app data.

Also will it be a problem if I flash the AT&T version of the ROM onto a UK version of the phone through twrp? Would that cause brick?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Just the boot image (kernel) won't mess up root. No, the backup doesn't do full images I don't think. And I wouldn't try flashing the at&t version until you get a backup made that you can restore to... Try contacting HTCDev support and see if they can get you an ruu to get you back to stock.
[HTC Desire 610] J_T_:
If I make a full nandroid backup now via TWRP then even if the AT&T flash fails, I should be able to restore the backup, right?

Thanks

Also is this the latest version of the root tool v4? https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Byu7KL9lV3zzZXM5SXRMZjktamM/edit

Edit

No luck on the RUU. Apparently they don't supply customers with the stock ROMs and if it needs to be done I will need to send it in for repair.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
1. Yes.

2. I believe so.

3. That's unusual, that's how I got my first ruu. Maybe they remembered me or something...
[HTC Desire 610] J_T_:
I just found out that the US AT&T version has a lower resolution screen than the international version so I can't use the RUU otherwise I think the screen will be misplaced with black spacing on the side. I have found a stock east EU rom on this forum which I will flash instead.

A few people on the troubleshooting section are also saying that the jmz kernel has caused their phones to hang and the wi fi connection to be unstable so I think I will be dropping that because it seems to be the same problem as mine. Maybe the kernel doesn't work as intended with international versions. Does the root tool v4 automatically install jmz becuase I would still like to use your root tool after I get the stock rom but I would rather not use the jmz kernel?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Nope. Root tool v4 is just a simplified recovery flasher or booter. Recovery itself already has capabilities to root our phones, so I'm just letting it do the work from now on.

Soon, when I get time, I'm going to make it pretty with a gui and add some buttons to do different things, but for now, v4 should work ok.
[HTC Desire 610] phatmanxxl:
I got my RUU from the HTC website, it wasn't hard to find. I jacked my phone up when I relocked the boot loader.
[HTC Desire 610] J_T_:
Did you get it from here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/rom-downloads.html ? It will be fine for the US versions but not the international versions of the phone.
[HTC Desire 610] phatmanxxl:
Yea I'm using the At&t varient. I wonder why no ROM for the international versions?
[HTC Desire 610] J_T_:
It's odd, maybe HTC didn't get many sales outside of the US for this phone thought there are couple of stock ROM's going around on xda for europe and asia so it's not so bad for everyone else.
[HTC Desire 610] Valentin4ou93:

[HTC Desire 610] phatmanxxl:
If you RUU then yes, a simple factory reset.... No

stock recovery

:)
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
So if I flash that ROM I'll get rid of root?
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Yes
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
Even if i have unlocked bootloader?
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
No. Must lock first. Its very simple. Just check the op in this thread.
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
I'm sorry but i really don't understand how to do that...can you please explain? If i boot in recovery there is a option 'fastboot' but if i go there, are a couple of options i don't know what to do.
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
I'm pretty sure you go to that screen, select fast boot, while connected to pc and enter the lock command listed in the op toward the bottom of the first post that says "return to stock"

Honestly I haven't needed to do that in awhile but I can tel you it's not hard. You'll get a confirmation that it's locked and from there you can just let the RUU do the work.

BTW--if you are using the RUU in the OP it might be an older firmware. The latest one posted by HTC is on this page

Also i tried to flash recovery but i get remote: signature verify fail.....please help
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Boot into hboot or fastboot and run the stock ruu. It should get you back to stock. If that doesn't work, fastboot flash a recovery, assuming you're still locked (the main reason the ruu would fail) and flash stock images from that.

Edit: just saw your edit. Try running stock ruu next.
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
If i try the ruu it gives me device id error or something like that and it does not flash it. And also i cannot flash a recovery, it gives me remote: signature verify fail. As an update, i tried to lock the bootloader and i am stuck at hboot. Also it displays ***tampered*** ***relocked*** ***security warning***. Please help me

And now I think i can throw it away.....it's at the point where the screen is black, and the red text from the bootloader is displayed, and it just stays there, and short vibrate....please tell me i can still save my phone....
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Hmmm....i cant think of a reason why locking the bootloader would brick your phone?

I do vaguely recall some drama with the ruu and your description of "red text on black screen" definitely rings a bell.

Sometimes you have to run it more than once for it to take. Only way i know it wont work is if youre trying to install a firmware thats older than the one on your phone. This definitely shouldnt be the case if youre using the ruu from the htc site i posted.

I wouldnt give up. I was pretty certain i got bricked one time and forget the details but i was able to run the ruu.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Keep trying the ruu. Try with a different cable if you can. It won't work unless the phone is (re)locked and flashing a recovery won't work unless it is unlocked. One of the two should always work. Also, try running it in both fastboot, then hboot. If it doesn't work in one, it should in the other.

Also sounds like you need to charge the battery to 100 percent if able. That might be part of the issue. I don't think it charges in fastboot. Turn it completely off to try to charge it.
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
Tried the ruu like 10 times...no luck...it always give me model id error...btw i am trying the ruu for at&t but i am in East Europe....tried with a different cable....nothing

Ok, i managed to get back my phone by unlocking bootloader again, and flashing a backup i made just before trying to lock bootloader. So now i am unlocked, if run the ruu, will it get me rid of root?
[HTC Desire 610] loplo:
As you can see cougzys is from Romania, so his phone wasn't made for AT&T or other US carrier. Maybe this contributed bricking his phone.

My 610 is in "dustcollecting" mode, since 3-4 months, until someone will publish a European RUU.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Loplo is probably correct. I'm guessing the ruu may not work for your particular model. :(
[HTC Desire 610] loplo:
cougzys start calling/emailing HTC RO and/or EU and ask for an RUU. Maybe someone will be so kind and give you a link.

I really don't understand why the European branches are such a PITA, when it comes to service and customer relations.
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Now it makes sense....I thought coughzys was in the US. I would suggest this

http://xdaforums.com/desire-610/help/dasire-610-qhd-stock-east-eu-twrp-t3042247

...but remembered he wants to return to stock so I don't think he'd be interested. But maybe the maker of the EU ROM has a way of returning to stock?

He's not bricked, as I understand it, said he got his phone back by flashing a backup.
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
Yes I managed to un-brick my phone by unlocking the bootloader again. In OP of this post it says that in order to return to stock, I need the bootloader locked. Question is, if I flash the stock east eu, I need to lock the bootloader? And flashing that will get rid of root?
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
No. Im in the US so i can update with ruu. I need to lock it first because its stock. What you need is stock for your carrier and model. Ask questions in the eu thread though because im not sure how youd unroot. Someone must have the rom you need but i think the eu rom is rooted...again though, it doesn't apply to me so im not 100%
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
You might be able to unroot with just SuperSU, but it won't take the red text away from the bootloader splash screen.
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
Flashing the stock eu ROM will remove the red text?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
No. You can't remove the red text.
[HTC Desire 610] phatmanxxl:
Have you ever thought of the Hex edit used on the other HTC phones? I assume its boot loader specific though.

Relock and RUU removes the red text.
[HTC Desire 610] loplo:
To remove the red text + to be able to install the OTA, you have to install a European RUU.

That's why I told you to contact HTC RO&EU, maybe they'll help you.
[HTC Desire 610] cougzys:
I sent HTC RO an email asking if a East European or RO stock rom through RUU is available.

Quick question: did anyone tried to lock the bootlader and succeeded? If succeeded US or Europe?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
I've never gotten mine to go away even when using a relocked bootloader and stock ruu. If you guys have, then awesome! It still shows up for me, though.

Also, scared to hex edit, because knowing me, I'll brick my phone. I'm not that knowledgeable, especially with protected partitions.
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Do you mean it shows up every time you boot or just when you reboot recovery? Because when I ran the latest ruu and rooted with your root tool v4 it only showed when booting to recovery.

Are you s-off and it still displays?
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Recovery, but I'd like it gone permanently lol. Not s-off yet though.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Alrighty, I've finally gotten my tiny laptop up and running, and can start working again normally. It's a little slow, but should be fine for light duty, such as coding this and hopefully rom building. Running ubuntu 14.04 with Wine for windows operations. Will try to update this tomorrow if able, as I don't have my 610 on me right now. However, that's the only device I'll be focusing on for a while, so hopefully something good can come of it. :)
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
Hi ClearD, A bit of topic here but I'm just wondering if you have source code for the at&t kernel. I have compiled and got working a disable write protection module for all other latest software versions which allows you to run stock kernel(no red text) and have write protection of /system disabled but the module needs to be built against the same kernel source to be able to be loaded by the stock kernel. My plan is to create an update zip that checks your current software version and and adds the correct version of the module for the kernel you are running. I currently have this compiled and tested for software versions 1.31.xxx.2, 1.31.xxx.3, 1.29.xxx.1 . I have requested kernel source from htcdev but after multiple emails back and forth they say the last thing they need is My phones serial number to check if it is at&t or not and mine isn't. I'm hoping that you(and as many other at&t desire610 owners as possible) can request this to as it will really help to get some development going if we can easily disable /system write protection from with stock kernels.

PS I can post links and a message template with the info they require if this helps

MiniBlu
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
Mine is at&t, and I don't have source yet. If you'd like, pm me, and I can shoot them an email tomorrow. Have to update my phone to the latest version first though, because I'm sure they'll ask version number and such. :)
[HTC Desire 610] noobtxtech:
Nice :) I really like ubuntu, have you considered installing a lighter weight desktop i.e. Xfce, MATE or lxde to free up RAM and CPU resources to focus them on the tasks you are trying to complete? I like Unity but it is resource heavy and is probably causing the slowness you mentioned.(in case this is new to you, you can install one of these on top of your current installation without changing hardly anything, just make sure you install the desktop only and not migrate to lubuntu, xubuntu or ubuntu-mate which are separate distributions all together and may alter your current development environment....I've never developed so maybe someone could add to my comments)

Same experience here. But I used the HTC Unlock token to unlock the bootloader again and the phone starts working, though the phone will be factory reset.
[HTC Desire 610] PdroidAndroid:
I rooted my desire 610 successfully, installed Titanium to remove all unuseful system app, but after a reboot, they come back.

I know that on htc devices, it's often s-off that "reinstall" systems apps, but nobody goes s-off for desire 610.

So i would like to know how you all do to remove them. Is there something I miss ?

Thanks.
[HTC Desire 610] CTXCI:
The system apps, IIRC, are system protected. So even having perm root deleting them would have the same effect as having temporary root... I recommend you to flash this kernel mod and try removing system apps...

Coty got it. Has nothing to do at all with s-off.

stuck at fastboot after running the root software

Hi ClearD

After using V2 to root my phone, it stuck at fastboot manual again and again.

When I click recovery button under hboot manu , the information "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC's written permission." was flashing then back to the hboot manual again.

I tried V3 and command to flash twrp-2.8.7.0-a3ul.img, still same

Is any suggestion I can have?

Some information about my D610T : unlocked s-on

My desire 610 is an A3_UL, yours is showing A3_TL. This indicates they're not the same model. Where are you located and is your device a 610? Mine is an at&t brand as well, but this hasn't failed for international models as far as I know.

[HTC Desire 610] CTXCI:
That's strange. I had tested the unroot via SuperSU last week and it worked. But something weird I noticed was it caused the calculator, calendar, and a couple apps to not work. You could always relock your boatloader, and reinstall the stock RUU.

Thanks for the tools and clear instructions! I rooted last night using V3 of the tool. I'm using an AT&T 610 running Android 4.4.2, build 1.52.502.16. I'm a bit confused because I don't see jmz in the kernel information. Does the V3 tool no longer require the jmz kernel? Could this be why link2sd is not working? The whole reason I rooted was to gain the ability to move apps to the sd card. Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions.

Any issues following the guide with mac?

I have adb and fast boot setup on my mac for my fire tv. Looking around the internet I came to believe the only way to perform this root was with a windows pc. For some reason the mac recognizes my device in the terminal but is unable to adb connect to the ip.(neither is my pc though) Just to see if anything happens I input your first command for a backup into mac terminal. I input it exactly as it was written (no ./ in front of it) And it worked. It requested I unlock the phone. I aborted it because I was't sure how far I'd get before I ran into issues doing this on mac but would it work if I followed your guide exactly as it was written? I do have an old pc but it's not very reliable and I'd rather use the mac but if thats just not possible I'll try it with the pc. Thanks.
[HTC Desire 610] ClearD:
I'm not sure, as I don't have a Mac sadly. My apologies. :(

And to others, I haven't forgotten about the project. I've actually got some of the script written on my phone right here. I just bought my first house today and I've been moving in and unpacking. My desktop is still at the old apartment but not for long. Then we'll get cracking.
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Yea that's ok. Seems like no else does either. I'll go with my pc but will probably wait till you get the 1 click option. Just got the phone a few days ago and happy it already does so much. If it could save to external I wouldn't even bother but that's the feature I'm gonna need most I think. Thanks.
