USB debugging on

than reboot into recovery en pick the last option in the list which says 'Reboot into Bootloader'

Than the phone will start over and get stuck in the boot animation screen which is what we want because now you can open ADB RUN and connect your phone to the computer. After adb run has open choose option 5 than option 2 (boot).

Windows explorer will open you need to put the Boot.image file that you have downloaded in that folder.

After you did that go back to ADB Run and just press Enter en it will load the Boot.image to the phone.

Follow the screen when is succesfully finish just unplug the phone from the computer and take out the battery.

Wait a couple of second and restart you phone. You should have now root on your phone!

If nog Downoad 'Root Genius' and you can root it with the program. ENJOY! :good:

You say you can get in to fastboot mode....

If you can get into fastboot mode thats means that ADB RUN should work.

Maybe you need to install the right drivers for ADB?

1 Install the right drivers for ADB

2. Run your phone in fastboot

3. Connect your phone to your computer

4 Open the program ADB Run and see if the program sees your device by pressing number 1 and after again number 1.

5. if you see your device listed then go back and press number 5, after number 2 and place the boot.image in the opend folder.

6. When is succeed your phone should restart normally, just take out the battery and restart again.

If it still not work you have to look for other flashing methods and software that could help you.

Full Root HTC Desire 516 dual sim

Here is how to root your HTC Desire 516 dual sim

I downloaded rootdashi_2 4 apk from Chinese website www ug7 net/htc/HTCDesire516yidongban htm < replace spaces with dots

After I saw the green check mark (I do not understand a word Chinese), I installed zdsrooter_setup_2 6 16 3 exe on my wifes windows computer (I'm on Linux Debian).

Connected my phone via USB cable, it did something and reboot, after I got full root.

Replaced Busybox and SuperSU and that's all.

Downloaded term-init.sh from www theandroidhow com/2014/06/how-to-enable-initd-support-on-android html, executed and got init.d

(re)formated my external SD Card with 1G ext4 partition (GParted), and with Link2SD got possibility to link my data apps.

Essentially, this is what I expected from my phone.

Custom recovery would be cherry on top, but now I can wait.

Even on stock, you can copy (sort of backup, but without actual symlinks) your partition(s) with adb. e.g. adb pull /system
