Root desire 516

To root your HTC desire 516 dual sim you can use this Chinese Software called iRoot. (Previously called Vroot) All 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.

iRoot Did NOT Work For Me

iRoot also installs lots of junk software and shows only Chinnese UI (at least for me). i am not sure if i did everything correctly -- it's hard to guess what what need to be tapped on the HTC screen if a confirmation appear.

anyway it rebooted once and did nothing for me. hopefully, i removed all the junk installed by iRoot. but it's hard to check.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hlopetz:
kimauri, that system.img & boot.img do not solve root issue. the imgs even contain strange apps named KINGUSER and FLASHLIGHT. the apps have extremely high privileges -- they even can call and send SMS's. so the page is a manual hot to setup a troyan to your device )

saddly, i did not save original system & boot imgs ((((

seems, i now should find stock ROM somewhere.

I rooted it successfully

Thanks to [MENTION=2749757]mmasic[/MENTION] i rooted it successfully IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG these are STOCK files https://mega.co.nz/#F!dxt0hIKa!T58xnBzEBgBveNQBBpGs5w

Ok let's begin...

1. First you have to do is to download ADB universal drivers and ADB

3. Volume Down + Power Button to get in bootloader (bootloader is not locked) the screen will be in freezed boot animation (HTC powered by android)- Or type in cmd "adb reboot bootloader" (without quotes)

4. After that go to CMD and tipe "cd.." (without quotes) until you get to "C:\>" (without quotes) then type "adb boot my-2nd-boot.img" (without quotes).

5. Your HTC Desire 516 will boot and it will say "Android is upgrading" (DON'T UNPLUG USB CABLE!!!)

6. Download Vroot and Just press root :)

7. Congratulations you have rooted your HTC Desire 516 ! :D :)

If you have question feel free to PM me or send mail to prlebigi@gmail.com

HIT THANKS BUTTON IF THIS THREAD HELPED YOU :silly:

I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGE OF YOUR DEVICE!!!

And about that custom ROM please request port on CyanogenMod site for HTC Desire 516

You should find on internet how to replace chinese superuser with supersu...

Hi all

I just want to help, I am not have desire 516 but I have desire vc.

I try root my desire vc with KINGOROOT and success.

here is my 4shared link you can download that kingoroot.apk and run from your phone.

http://www.4shared.com/mobile/xFbgEc_Cba/Key_Root_Master__MOD_Version__.html

Run that apk file and tab "MULAI ROOT" and then tab "ROOT" and "BATAL" that's all

You can now check for supersu and install it normal mode.

I hope it can help you all
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukacarina:
You didn't follow the steps

Your Htc Desire 516 should boot normaly after adb boot my-2nd-boot.img (you have to boot in that boot image not flash) and after reboot you press root in vroot :)

Try this. It works

Yeah i know it is really hard to root htc desire 516 dual sim with 4.3 android. But this is not impossible. You will need a pc to root this phone. Just download kingo root for pc and also kingo root. Apk for you android device. Install both of them in your pc and phone. Then connect your phone with pc and launch kingo root in your computer. Remember usb debugging mood must have to be enabled. And your computer have to be connected with Internet also. Oh one thing i forgot to say that is you must remove sim card and memory card slot from your phone before connecting your device. Now connect and launch kingo root in your pc. Kingoroot will automatically download drivers for htc desire 516 dual sim. Now click on root button and wait. When 80% rooting process will done your phone will automatically restart and procedure will pause at 82% for 20min at least. Or it can take more than 20min. But don't disconnect your phone. After then it will say root successful. Now disconnect your phone and restart again. This is the only way to root htc desire 516 dual sim.

Finally managed to root.

After trying about 15 different root-programs for both pc and android, I managed to find one that actually gave me root access; KingRoot.

Download the latest version of kingroot (the one I used was version 4.5.0.803, should the latest version for some reason not work in the future), said something about a low success rate when it identified my phone but it seems to have worked, had to install SuperSU manually from store, but it works as intended, have deleted tons of pre-installed crap I could not uninstall earlier.

I was however not able to move apps from internal mem to sd-card with any program from the store, as it seems to be dependent on the ROM, but I'm sure a new ROM will pop up soon enough.

I have no clue if the previous programs I used had an effect on KingRoot working, as it was my first time trying Kingroot, anyway, good luck to you all :)

xda wont let me post links so just google 'KingRoot androidxda'

How to rool HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim

Hey guys,

I've been handeling with the same problem as you all.

Some random dude on the internet recommended MobileGo.

You get a week free trial, and i just connected my phone and clicked: one-click root.

It actually worked without bricking it ( i bricked it while changing a setting afterwards )

! BE CAREFULL, EVEN TECH SUPPORT CAN'T HELP ME !

It did work, but make sure to remove the software ( on your pc ) after you use it.

It contains some adds whenever i plug in my phone to the pc, and when the trail has ended, it keeps bugging you to pay. Just root it and remove the software.

I wasn't too taken with the look of the Vario II until I actually got one in my hands. The brushed gun-metal and red is under-stated and elegant. The photos don't do this device justice.

Hi,

i'm looking for a way to update from 1.32 to 1.34 as suggested by htc autoupdate.

i see some messages in other thread but i think (imho) that it will be better to have a specific thread

A guru could write a how-to guide?

My phone (hboot 1.02,sw 1.32.401.1) is -partially- rooted because i don't change kernel but for me it's sufficient and now the original update failed (also in cwm) with status 7 error.

do i have to remove in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script this getprop("ro.product.device") from downloaded OTA ?is it right?

before applying, it, i must relock bootloader?

do i lose root? Can i re-root?

better not applying it for now?

I made the below post on Omate's facebook page in response to their announcement of the Omate X. Omate deleted my post and banned me from their facebook page. So being a Omate fanboi is OK, however if you criticize Omate in public on their forum, they ban you. Here's the post I made:

Omate: I have a saying, fool me once, I won't give you another chance to fool me.

Sorry, but with everything I've seen others go through, I considered myself extremely lucky, but I won't give you another chance. People buying the watch and getting a dead unit or dead battery and told "Sorry, we don't have replacements yet" or "Go find a battery on ebay". I lost the rubber gasket for the sim door, and you said you don't have them. I can't do business with a company that doesn't even have simple replacement parts available. And then, to add insult to injury, after delaying and delaying and delaying, you start to ship, and then announce a much lighter version is available, but too bad, you don't get one. And then the Omate app which - I don't know if I'd describe "working" as something you can call it, because it didn't work. Seeing the Omate CPU operating well below the stated specs, etc. I ended up selling my Omate. Sorry, but you aren't going to get me as a repeat customer based on how you treated me as a pre-order customer.
