Root Dashi aint workin

just like all other root methods

the pc software and the mobile one seems independant

when i try thru mobile it installs supersu and says something like failure link

using the pc software it gets to 30 % and then asks for usb debuggin (or something related to usb as its ??????USB?????)after a reboot but it doesnt change anything

Id just like some screen shots as to wat u pressed and in what order

or maybe just explain whether u pressed root on ur mobille or the pc version or both?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmasic:
Honestly, I did and tried so much, I don't remember anymore.

Essentially, I flashed system.img and boot.img from alexwerth on top of my 1.04.401.001

and became 1.06.708.001

Flashed from recovery ./adb sideload OTA_v2_dug_india.zip

and became 1.10.708.001

(all files are in post #36)

Installed and executed rootdashi_2.4.apk

After I saw green checkmark in the circle, went to Windows PC, installed zdsrooter_setup_2.6.16.3.exe, started, connected my 516, and became root.

What I can think of is that alexwerth tried to enable root shell, because in his system.img are su binary and almost all symlinks needed for root, and those files helped rootdashi to achieve root.

Before that I tried towelroot, framaroot, baiduroot, temproot, and many, many more.

P.S.

USB Debugging is a must, and one of first things I turn on on new phone.

P.P.S.

I was a huge HTC fan, but this is my very last HTC device.

Strangely, in unpack-repack euphoria, I encountered many times a term Lenovo(?)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NytmareNL:
Another rooting method for HTC desire 516

Another option that you can try is the following Chinese Software called iRoot. (Previously called Vroot) Al you have to do is install the software, click Root and connect the USB cable. If I remember the order correctly.

This one worked for me:

http :// www . mgyun . com / en / getvroot (Replace spaces by nothing)

According to some video's and forums you can later replace iRoot by SuperSu. Haven't tried this yet, cause I can work with this for now.

Hope this helps someone.

Now let's hope someday we can run CWM or TWRP recovery and that Cyanogenmod (or another good custom rom) is made available for our phone. It seems that they have somehow forgotten our phone. :(
