jpoblocki77 it not hard to root, but every model phone have a different method, even same manufacturer phone can be different, let alone different AndroidOS version. HTC is usually very good in letting you root their phone. But carrier blocked the process as well, like the Desire 530 for Verizon. They omitted the OEM unlock setting for you to not use HTCdev bootloader unlocked method, thus can allow rooting on your phone. HTC change fastboot bootloader to their download mode when power off and then hit power with volume down.

I have a link for you to the firmware you request.

Don't forget to hit the thanks button

I have been working on the boot loader unlock for the verizon devices.

I found a method that works with lolipop devices and currently i'm working on the unlock for marshmallow.

Depending on your skill level and you creativity you may be able to use my unlock for the lolipop devices.

It is HTC desire 526 and has same msm8909 chipset.

Refer to my post here.

And yes this is tested and confirmed working on verizon desire 526.

https://xdaforums.com/desire-526/general/verizon-htc-desire-526-boot-loader-root-t3587118

and here

https://xdaforums.com/desire-526/general/super-sd-htc-526-vzw-t3596497

Now I HAVE NOT TESTED FULLY but if you make the same sd cards [ the ones in the post for the 526]

To successfully unlock the bootloader you will need to.

#1 Get temp root using KingoRoot or anything that can get temp root.

#2 Make a dd copy of the frp partition [ cat /proc/partitions ]

to find frp mmcblk#

#3 Open the FRP.img backup from dd copy in a hex editor.

#4 Chonge the last 00 of the hex file to 01 and save it.

#5 Flash the frp by dd if=frp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p?

#6 put lolipop 526 desire sd card from above post into device.

#7 Boot to download mode.

#8 fastboot oem get_identifier_token

#9 Subit the token to the HTC dev site and follow instructions for desire bootloader unlock on HTC-DEV.

#10 When you fastboot flash unlock_code.bin

First remove sd card

Then reboot to download mode

Then fastboot flash unlock_code.bin

The lolipop sd cards for the desire 526 will not boot to full system or provide root to flash FRP.

But they will boot download mode with modified cid and that is why this could work to unlok the 530.

KEY is flash FRP first.

NO FRP = NO UNLOCK

Copy the factory frp.img to a sd card then Boot to TWRP and execute theese commands from terminal.

adb shell
dd if=/external_sd/frp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p49

Reboot and you might be ok.

I have a Tmobile 530 and was able to get twrp installed. When in twrp I try to make a backup and 8% in it always reboots. tried to copy root to internal but stops around 10% and after a minute it just closes. I check the file size and its just a couple of k. So I tried to copy the logs and it says it saved it to external sd but nothing is there when i put it in my computer. copied all rooting files to sd to try to get around it that away but when it is in the phone it says its empty. I checked it on my laptop too and the files are there. Dont understand whats up with twrp. Are there any newer twrps for this one? I was able to get the test2 twrp installed by entering the command them boot into download mode but it is still giving me problems. Was able to copy supersu over after the test2 install but after i installed it, it said unable to mount storage. Finally got a log after trying for a while. just dont know whats up with this one. Worried about not being able to backup. Any other way to do so?

My desire 530 keeps telling me there is a system update available 1.22.401.1 but every time I try and install it I get a message saying it wont install as I am running a system variant.

I have installed TWRP and rooted my phone as described in the first post but have not bothered with s off. I also removed the network lock so my phone would accept any sim card.

I have tried re-flashing the stock recovery that has been posted on here as well as the bootloader, re-locking the device but I still get the system variant message when trying to install the ota update.

I have tried flashing the wwe ruu 1.08.401.2 posted on the forum in download mode but it gives me an error 7 cid message every time.

Any ideas on how I can get my phone to a state where it will apply the ota update? will installing sunshine and getting s off help?

Also where can I find the 1.22.401.1 system update on my phone once it has been downloaded so I can get a copy of it to check out or upload if it will be of use to anyone

I had a really hard time rooting my phone. I finally got it, I'll post a guide after I get it perfect. One of the things I did wrong was was when I tried to

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

it didn't work. So I tried

fastboot flash boot twrp.img

This worked, but I couldn't install supersu because twrp was the boot.img

Once I figured this out I flashed a stock boot img and then flashed twrp into recovery.

fastboot flash boot stock.img

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

After I did those I booted into recovery mode and everything work. Except one thing. Now my wifi doesn't work. It won't turn on(just turns gray) and sometimes it says

"Fail to load driver, reson: Module is not compatible (8)"

It worked before, the only thing I can think of is I screwed something up when I flash booted the twrp.img and the stock.img has something wrong with it. Any help would be very appriciated.

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] tmittelstaedt:
I jumped the gun and bought a Desire 530 for my wife when her m8 died not realizing that Verizon had removed the OEM setting. (otherwise I would never have bought it) Then a day later I found the "m8 battery reset" that made the m8 come alive again. Verizon already shipped the 530 so my options are to lose $35 returning it, or take a chance on getting it rootable. I'm already pissed at Verizon for continuing to pull this crap of trying to deny root on their phones so if you can successfully add support for this phone into Sunshine then that will satisfy my "Desire" for revenge on them. You got your loaner - email tedm at mittelstaedt.us with shipping info and it will go out the door the minute we get it.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] chinot66:
I feel your pain with Verizon and the HTC 530. I gave up on rooting on it was only $90 on Best buy, so a small loss. I just went and grab a used Nexus 5X, rooted and unlocked tether and call it a day.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] tmittelstaedt:
The only $90 HTC Desire 530 from Best Buy I see there is the Verizon Prepaid phone, and I know from experience that the only difference between the Verizon phones that are sold as Prepaid phones and the Verizon phones that are sold as Postpaid phones (Over the Verizon website) is that Verizon won't allow the Prepaid phones to be used on the Postpaid network. At least not until they have been activated as a Prepaid phone for a certain period of time.

Other than that, both those phones lack the OEM Unlock setting in Android, so the only way to root them is to use a program like Sunshine to S-OFF them, then load twrp and sideload supersu.

If Sunshine can be made to support this phone it would be quite useful - even though there is no custom rom out there, root allows for freezing the bloatware. Not sure why unlocking tether is even an issue anymore - its enabled out of the box on all the Verizon phones and they don't charge extra for it anymore.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] chinot66:
True if Sunshine support the 530, it would be a great cheapo rooted phone. For me the prepaid phones worked right away from my postpaid LTE Sim here in Jersey I have a few same as for GSM service with prepaid phones. Here as well Verizon locked the hot spot and ask to subscribed or paid a fee.
[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] tmittelstaedt:
Interesting - I'm in Portland - I ran a postpaid account on Verizon from 2011 to 2013 - hotspot definitely was locked down - then when the newer Android phones came out (droid version 4.4.4) Verizon unlocked it - I switched to prepaid and it was still unlocked - then switched back to postpaid (I'm running postpaid now) and hotspot is not locked nor is a fee required.

It's fascinating to me that Verizon has differences in it's plans split up by region -here in Portland we have strong competition from ATT & Tmobile - that's probably why. Verizon's coverage is superior out on the Oregon Coast and they have better coverage in certain areas in the outskirts of the city but not enough to get a lot of people to switch I think.

[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] upperdecker:
I used an online service to unlock mine was around $10 I think, I don't remember which site I used as it was way back in May/June, I tried a few Ebay sellers who advertised unlock codes for the 530 but they all were unable to do it and refunded me, this may have changed now the phone has been out longer so I would also check Ebay.

If you or anyone else has an UK EE 530 can you dump the stock system.img boot.img and recovery.img for me as I didn't think to do this myself before messing around flashing stuff and I can't find the original files for the EE variant anywhere so I'm still stuck with a phone that wont update.
