Hi there,
I've been searching forums and web pages for days now to find a guide to rooting the HTC Desire C. There is no sub-forum for this phone and I've only been able to find about 4 small threads on this device so I'm posting here. I have some dev knowledge but, nothing to do with mobile devices so excuse my ignorance if you can.
I've tried superOneClick and z4root to no avail. Didn't think it would be this tricky to find a way to root the phone. If any one can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful or if they can, maybe you know a decent guide to explaining how root access is obtained so I can try it myself(if possible).
Thanks for any information.
On MoDaCo, there seems to be a method to root the Desire C. See http://www.modaco.com/topic/355158-r1-superboot-how-to-root-the-htc-desire-c/
Thanks a lot. That guide did the job.

Im a completed noob!!! I've registered with HTC dev to get the unlock code for my desire c but cant get my cmd to understand what I'm trying to do! I'm using my laptop which runs windows 7. Each time I type the comand 'Android>...' & press enter I just get the message 'don't recognise Android as an internal or external drive' ... please please please help!! ... again I must stress I'm a very very noob who don't know much so any help is very welcome... ta
@rob# I have gone through this process, so I know it works! When you are in the command prompt window you must change directory to where you have saved the files so for example if you saved them in a directory 'c:\android' and your command prompt is 'c:\username\whatever' then your command should be 'cd \android' then the instructions should work.....
:fingers-crossed:Thanks bobmcann, brilliant advice & that bit worked fine... but then I did something else wrong!!! I completed all the unlock bit via the cmd screen, got my e-mail message from htc to tell me what to do next & then my power failed on my pc! I've since tried to redo everything the HTC dev page says but when I try to generate another unlock code everything just hangs & nothing happens for about 15 mins, then I get bored, disconnect everything & turn off my pc/phone... what am I doing wrong now!!?!! is there an easy way to fix this or have I screwed everything up? Please help me (again! - I will get better at this I promise) - thanks
@rob# you removed the device while trying to install a root or unlocking ur bootloader, tbh am supprized it isnt fully bricked, try reinstalling everything from the start
The rooting method works, but is there any unroot procedure?
After having the desire successfully connected and starting the bat-file I always get the following error message: "booting....failed <remote: not allowed>". What am I doing wrong?
Hi,
I have problems with Android 1.0 driver. It doesnt works so I cant root the phone. How can I solved this problem? Where I can find driver? Thanks for replys.
I used the guide posted on modaco and it worked fine for me. Posting some screenshots or a more detailed explanation of what you're typing and what you're seeing would allow people to help figure out why you're having issues.

You have to follow the instructions very closely on the HTCdev website -- make sure you have all the software they ask for including:
Android SDK Tools
HTC Sync Manager
Java Runtime
All three of these are at the upper right corner of the first page of instructions. Once you've downloaded the HTC Sync Manager, an OS reboot should then fix it. When you connect your phone the driver should self-install.

Hi guys, I am having an issue i cant seem to resolve on my razr i. apologies if this has already been covered in another thread (or 10, which is usually the way with these things because nobody reads the other threads) I have been through a load of other threads but cannot seem to resolve my issue so i started my own.
Right, I have switched from iphone to razr and am not stupid when it comes to jailbreaking etc so thought rooting the razr wouldnt be a problem. when trying to root it it failed and i am stuck at the fastboot menu, however, everything on the menu is disabled so i cant use it. i get the usual message:
fastboot reason: flash failure
fastboot max download size: 100mb
usb connected
if i try to use anything on the menu i get the following message:
fastboot menu disabled.
my phone is not unlocked and not rooted. i have barely done anything to it other than install a couple of free apps. i am unable to progress past this screen. the phone is GB and is on 4.0.4
any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. again, apologies if this has already been covered, none of the solutions i found were able to resolve my issue. as i said, i had no problems jailbreaking my old iphone, i am a bit of a n00b when it comes to droids...

Had the same problem, I used the recommendation in this thread, 5th post and it worked, but afterwards need to re-download apps from PlayStore:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36612151
Follow the instructions exactly - you need the drivers and RSD lite on Windows PC, then connect the phone via usb cable that came with it; and you'll need a full unzip program (cost) so you can move the unzipped files into RSD lite. Get the right flash file though - there's a list in the linked post if you don't want GB retail which I used. Important: this only works for ICS 4.0.4 and don't try to downgrade to an earlier version than what's currently on your phone e.g. v.39 to v.31, for example.
Good luck.
AW: [Q] razr i problems - fastboot menu
If the solution from mervluk does not work (It didn't work for me either) , you should try if you are able to use the fast boot commands .
To do that simply connect your phone to the PC. Then download fast boot , if you do not already have that. It is in the .zip from the RAZR I root thread.
The go to the downloaded folder. There hold shift and perform a right mouse click. Then choose" start a command prompt here "or something similar (don't know how the option is called in English).
Then type in
fastboot reboot
When the phone reboots you might be able to unlock your phone and flash the software.
BUT BE AWARE! YOU WILL LOSE YOUR WARRANTY!!
So you better try the other solution first. This should be your last option.
If you don't know how to unlock the bootloader look in the RAZR I forum or pn me .

Glad about that. This phone can be a bit of a so-and-so. ics is being updated ota to Jelly Bean 4.1.2, which I've avoided so far to keep fm (although not activated on the supplied software). I did succeed with unlocking the bootloader (loose warranty - important) following the whole complicated procedure on Moto's website - but couldn't myself use the shortcuts on here. (Then had to set up again and re-download everything from the PlayStore). It required the Moto-supplied key. I then rooted, though I think the JB ota download unroots again? You can't use RSD lite with JB.
With JB the procedures are different, and a modified JB European (not for use with GB) firmware is now available on another thread which is impressing some posters. But I think just be a bit cautious as there does not appear to be any fix for the "service code corrupt" bootloader error yet. Looks like the options are very restricted whilst no-one understand the interaction between Google Android and the intel atom chipset.
I have a network unlock key from one of the commercial suppliers (cellunlocker.net), but haven't needed to try and use it yet!
hi guys.
ive tried to root my HTC ONE but failed.
i followed all steps and everything seemed perfect.
installed BMP driver, HTC driver, HTC Sync, got adb.exe AdbWinApi.dll AdbWinUsbApi.dll fastboot.exe from qbking77
i am already HTC Dev user so just logged in and got token successfully.
finally i saw 'unlock bootlaoder?' screen on the last step, selected 'yes' and rebooted.
but my device is still locked.
ive tried all process once again but 'unlock bootloader?' screen on the last step doesnt appear on my device anymore....
i got token again and again but all of them didnt work.(even first one doesnt work anymore: unlock bootloader screen doesnt appear)
ive tried re-lock my device with this command: fastboot oem lock
my device re-locked successfully(RE-LOCKED appeared on the top of screen at bootloader menu)
and then, i tried to unlock again, 'unlock bootloader?' screen successfully appeared on the last step.
i selected 'yes' and rebooted
BUT IT IS STILL LOCKED.
i followed this step a couple of times but nothing worked.
i dunno what the problem is...
i didnt have any errors on entire step to unlock.
anybody can help me to unlock my device???
u guys can check out my device information down below.
Device name: HTC ONE

Here you go buddy - follow Mike's guide here - works fine , all I had to do was choose a different custom back up than the one posted in the guide and not change the name to recovery.img , but leave the one you select as named - like recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7 , so your final command line would would read fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.1-m7 , see the guide and you'll understand what im on about
you can search XDA for the custom recovery you want and also have a look here

So I have just moved from an iPhone 4 to an Xperia Z and I love it!
I am new to all this rooting and flashing business, so go easy on me! I am quite tech-savvy so I doubt I will have much problem with any of this, but hey, we all get stumped sometimes.
Now my question is, how does one go about unlocking an Xperia Z on a Mac? I want to know this as I was getting an error when trying with windows that read "<waiting for device>". I tried setting the fastboot.exe to run as admin as well as cmd, but neither solved the problem. After messing around with no success, I decided I would see if I could do it on Mac.
Thus far, I have my Xperia Z rooted (via windows), and have received my unlock key from sony (used above ^ with no success). I have downloaded the android SDK on both windows and mac, downloaded the adb and fastboot binaries for mac, fastboot driver for windows, and have followed various methods all with no success.
What do I need to do, to unlock the bootloader on Mac? Would it be a similar process to this?
Or what are some things I could try to get it working on windows?
Thanks
Andy
Bump..
Im having the exact same problem, I have tried using the generic wlan0 profile and the suggested netd option with combinations of the reset driver 1 and 0. like the OP i have gotten no log errors but it still isnt broadcasting.

A Possible Approach To Fix The Problem
Here's what we can do since HTC Support seems to be unwilling to assist users who face these problems due to failed OTA updates.
1. We get someone with a working HTC Desire 626G+ to make a backup of their current System Image using ROM Manager.
2. Get them to upload it and share the link to a free download service like Dropbox or MediaFire.
Because it's now appearing that the worst phone to own right now would be a HTC since they have absolutely ZERO support for OTA update failures on their website.
This is what I'm trying to do. If I'm successful I'll share a download link. :fingers-crossed:

While using SP Flash Tools my mobile is not dected due to I turned off usb debugging..
So is there is any way to enable usb debugging??
Hi,
i had the same problem:
Flash the device with the orginal ROM from: The scatter file is included.
http://www.easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=browse&b=category&id=682
Take care to install the right USB driver. MT65xx Preloader. You have to disable Windows driver signature check if you have Win 8 or 10.
Search in google to do this. Afterwars, Sp-Tools will detect your drive if you install the usb drivers manually. If you don't find the driver, tell me i can give you a working copy.
For the next time, search for a twrp recovery.img. Flash it after you have restored your orginal system. Then, download supersu and install it using twrp instead of kingroot. Tell me if you need a copy.
Kind regards,
Sascha

hello everyone....after days of trying and searching I've decided to make a thread to see if I can get some help... I'm trying to root my phone to enable tethering, but I first need to unlock the bit loader. However, although I do have a laptop, I only have internet access on my phone. Is there a way I can unlock boot loader and root my phone without having internet access on another device? I've viewed several threads but I'm not very savvy when it comes to rooting and they all use terms I'm not familiar with...any help is appreciated.

If you stopped and thought about what you are trying to do you could just download the stuff you need onto your phone and then connect the laptop and transfer the stuff over you would not need internet on the laptop just yet...
Or you know, McDonald's has free WiFi haha.
Yes those are both options, the problem is all the tutorials that are on here are using terms um unfamiliar with... I'll continue to research tho

Well what is it that you're unfamiliar with? Everyone has to learn somehow and since you're actually trying to help yourself I'm willing to help you I just don't care to help people who won't even try to help themselves, but what are you trying to do?
I'm kind of in the same boat I've rooted a couple other phones but my HTC seems to be way over my head. Really it's the unlocking of the boot loader that gets me. I have WiFi and pc and little knowledge but is there an easier way to root my 510
Newbie90, same boat as you with the 510 but I can't definitely give u a heads up on what to do for your current predicament.
1- go to htcdev website (google is your friend), get yourself an account and validate it... you'll have to get the drivers for sure...
2- download fastboot (i'm sure you can figure this one out too, you can also get it from htc dev), if you're doing this on your phone, make sure you copy it to your pc (says desktop\fastboot)
since you're going to be needing to be in download mode, you will lose internet connectivity obviously, so might be a good idea to head on out to mc d's so your laptop has access to the htc dev site to get your bootloader unlock (access to email as well)
3- put yourself in download mode (from powered off state, press and hold power and volume down)
4- open your desktop\fastboot folder, click the file menu and open an administrator prompt here
5- type fastboot.exe oem get_identifier_token
6- you'll have to copy/paste some text into the htv dev site
7- you'll get an email with a unlock_code.bin that you'll have to download to the fastboot folder and the contiuation of the instructions
8- flash the bootloader unlock, i don't remember the command but it's in the instructions
an auto restart and that's it
once you're bootloader unlocked you can root/flash ROM etc... but now where i'm stuck with this handset is getting it carrier unlocked!
