[HTC Desire 530 Questions & Answers] BigCountry907:
RUU and Kernel Source

Unfortunately HTC DEV website isn't listing any of the RUU downloads.

And they are not posting source for the kernel yet.

I haven't seen kernel source for Marshmallow yet even for the desire 626 s.

On a Bonus Side of Things I have access to all of the RUU's.

I'm downloading the T-Mobile marshmallow RUU. Version 1.01.531.25

I will try to upload it when i get home but my network might be down so it might not be possible until tomorrow.

I will also upload the T-Mobile Gen Unlocked RUU.

But you won't be able to flash it unless you are s-off and can change your CID.

I can get the Verizon RUU's as well as other countrys / carriers if ANYONE Needs Them.

If you want a ruu for your model then please post your CID and radio version so I can provide you the correct one.

FOR THE PEOPLE WHO TWRP RECOVERY WILL NOT BOOT.

I have tested this with the desire 526 and even though the touchscreen probably won't work you can still follow my instructions here to flash supersu with a build of twrp that the touchscreen isn't working.

Steps

#1 download the TWRP recovery for the desire 626s.

#2 unpack the recovery using Android Image Kitchen.

MAKE SURE YOU USE SUDO AND UNPACK / RE-PACK as root user.:mad:

#3 download the ruu I will upload and use the Rom De-crypt tool to unpack it.

#4 Delete the kernel and the dt.img from the unpacked TWRP Recovery.

#5 Copy the kernel and the dt.img from the de-crypted RUU (Unpack the RUU recovery.img) and put them into the UNPacked TWRP .

#6 Re-Pack the TWRP Image that contains the Kernel and DT.img from the RUU Recovery.img.

#7 Flash it to the device with fastboot. "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"

THEN FOLLOW INSTRUCTION HERE TO FLASH FILES WITH TWRP AND NO TOUCH SCREEN. :eek:

STEP #2 ( Get Perm Root !! )

MAKE - Download the Patched TWRP and LATEST VER SuperSu

Copy the superSU.zip to the device sdcard. Use file explorer or terminal.

adb push superSU.zip /sdcard/superSU.zip

Flash the TWRP Recovery to the device.

reboot to download mode

adb reboot download

Flash the recovery

fastboot flash recovery Twrp-530-NO-TOUCH.img

Boot into TWRP Recovery

fastboot boot recovery

DON'T PANIC !! Yes your right......The touch screen is not working!!! :eek:

I need to compile a custom kernel to get TWRP working Right. (NO KERNEL SOURCE = NO CUSTOM KERNEL)

I have compiled the kernel but it isn't booting right yet. That's why I figured out this work around for now.

So Now What ??? :confused:

No worries....Even though we can't access the TWRP commands from the touch screen LETS NOT FORGET.........

We can use the command line :highfive:

Open up terminal on your computer.

If it's not already open.

Go into the shell.

adb shell

No need to type su cause in case you didn't notice we are already ROOT. "#"

So to install SuperSu (or any other zip package) we do this.

#1 Mount the system partition.

mount -o rw -t ext4 /dev/block/[COLOR="Red"]mmcblk0p62[/COLOR] /system

(DOUBLE CHECK MMCBLK0P62 >>>> CHANGE TO YOUR SYSTEM PARTITION MMCBLK0P??

#2 Tell TWRP what we want it to do one stap at a time

Set device to boot into recovery upon reboot.

echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command

Tell TWRP to install SuperSu when it boots.

echo '--update_package=/sdcard/superSU.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command

Reboot the recovery to install the SuperSu.

reboot recovery

Now you will see TWRP boot back up and when it boots up it will install the zip package.

Congratulations you are now one of the first peoples to have a fully rooted Verizon Desire 530. :laugh::silly::D
