I've tried every method I could find to root and all I get is the htc logo with the red wording underneath saying "This build is for development purposes only...". I've rooted a few phones before and have never ran into any issues and I did unlock the phone using htcdev. Any ideas on why this is happening?
Same Problem
I am having the same problem and I have rooted every phone I have owned. this is the first one I am having issues with.

If you have the htc's logo with the red phrase "this build is only...." means that you have unlocked the bootloader (or rooted, I don't remember).
Do you have the superuser in your app drawer? If you haven't try to install it from playstore.
After you've checked this try with a root checker to check if you're really rooted or not.

Must be your first HTC root, all phones by them have the red developer text on the boot screen. Also, this red text confirms that you successfully unlocked your boot loader. What root method did you use?

1. By rooting my HTC Desire C and using it with the stock room (not with the nameless rom) could i be able to Update if htc sends a new software update like jelly bean.
2. Is there any method how to unroot if i have warranty purposes ?
Thx a lot.

You can still receive updates while your rooted but you may have to reroot afterwards and I don't think there will be a jellybean update for this phone probably just be a few software updates.
Also if you used the superboot r1 method of rooting you can easily do a full unroot from the options in supersu if you need to send your phone off for any reason. I did this recently when I sent mine off for repair.

This roots are only permanent roots. You can install updates, but than when I tryed my root was deleted and I needed to root it again and now I'm using nameless rom. So you should try just to download software updates and install them and then reboot your phone and check if you got root with Rootchecker and SuperSU.
Well now im confused a bit, i think its imposible to root desire c if bootloader is locked ... :/
Mby.im sounding dumb but im noob

Yes you need unlocked bootloader to root but what I ment was you can relock it if you need to send your phone off

Hard Touch and Lagginess
Hey .. Desire C's touch is a bit harder than Explorer's .. Has anyone noticed that ... ??
And I have observed lagg in playing games and a long delay in opening application specially message app, people app and when I press the back button , it takes 3 seconds to go to the previous screen .. Please can anyone help me out ,,, ?
The lag is probably due to sense 4 as it is pretty ram intensive .
But you can try ram managing scripts like supercharger v6. or try swapping ( install the overclocked kernel before you swap )
Over-clocked Kernel
Hey, I just had a question regarding the over-clocked kernel for the desire c. I'm already flashing the latest and last nameless rom and was thinking about trying out the explosion, but I was just wondering if anyone had any insight regrading the over clocking-- I read on the nameless thread that there were some issues with it?

iam facing drivers installation problem plzz help me bro
it is showing android1.0 is missing
Hey, I unlocked my HTC Dream (Rogers, post 911 patched) bootloader from the HTC Dev site: http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/
The Dream/G1 bootloader unlock code is now provided by HTC themselves. Everything went smoothly but I don't know what to do next. I know I needed to do this to install custom ROMs (I'm on android 1.5 right now, want to go to gingerbread 2.3) but i have no clue how/where to start.
Any help would be seriously appreciated.
The HTC dev bootloader is garbage and will only cause you headaches. Relock the bootloader and root properly, Google search cyanogenmod wiki dream, follow those steps

Dunno what to do, all I want is gingerbread lol, thanks for replying though, appreciate it

Been waiting for a root for my phone for a while now. Any news? I've got a HTC Desire C (golfc) my carrier is Cricket.
You can root your phone the same as any other user. However, you cannot flash the same roms or you could brick your phone.

I'm unable to root my phone with the methods I've tried. It sits at a screen that has the HTC Logo and says, "This build is for dev purposes only..."
I've been told in another thread that there is no root for the golfc.
Make a clockworkmod backup and send me your boot, I can modify it to have root access.
Dont flash superboot it will work but, break your wifi.
Other thing if you flashed superboot you can flash my oc kernels I think it's compatible with cdma too, just copy /system/lib/modules/ files from my rom to enable wifi, push to your phone same directory.

Bashing away at my HTC Desire C
So I wanted to root my htc one and install a custom rom on it and everything went wrong. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, installed superuser. I then tried to install android revolution hd 12.1. after installing it from sd card it said that my device was not rooted and it rebooted and now i am stuck on the bootloader screen. I cannot try and install the rom again due to all my data being wiped somehow and I have relocked the bootloader and tried to run the ruu to return to stock but it says I need the correct ruu i updated to 1.31. someone please help!!!
It is loading to the "htc quite brilliant" screen and it wont go no farther, I can still get into bootloader and recovery though
Sprint Htc One issues
I am having a very similar issue! I just want to be able to use my phone whether stock or rooted now. Help!!!!!!
If you can access the boot loader, unlock it again then use TWRP's sideload feature to flash the ROM. Or you can probably find. The correct RUU in the sprint one forum.

Once you guys get your phone's fixed, make sure to flash a sprint compatible Rom. Android revolution hd isn't compatible for our phones yet

Seriously. The number of people who've managed to put themselves in this situation is staggering. We may just want to have a PSA sticky that says not to flash that ROM.
OP, you should at the least put your phone into fastboot because an RUU will not run with the bootloader open, but I'm not sure if there's a new RUU available for the latest OTA.
Fortunately you are not bricked try out this tool it makes your recovery so much easier http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2236814 with this you can flash a recovery and sideload a rom, you might have to also click the download HTC drivers as well. Make sure you sideload a SPRINT compatible Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2219. GL!
So find a Sprint Rom you like and download it, then from bootloader you can use this tool and sideload a rom and flash a recovery.
Ive got it to install a rom, i installed viperrom. After i did that and it boots up it says I have no service and the phone will reboot on its own. what do i do now?
You will likely have to RUU back to stock. The non Sprint Rom probable buggered the partitions or the baseband. Look in android development to find the RUU file you need. I don't think you can use the older one if you got the recent OTA.
Sent from my HTCONE using xda premium
Thats what I want to do go back to stock. Do you know where the ruu for 1.31 is?
I can't find it. I heard it was out there in a thread recently. Here is the older one though. That may work, I haven't tried though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
I haven't explored it myself, but I saw anecdotal posts stating that they were able to use the older RUU.

what do you mean?
Might have to wait for the RUU file to drop then. Coming from Samsung devices for a long time, I'm used to being able to use Odin to go back to older factory firmware without issue. It's a bummer. Maybe someone more versed will have better info.

Does the Non-Sprint HTC One threads say "Sprint"? No.
Are the Sprint HTC One forums labeled "Sprint"? Yes.
Do nearly all the ROM threads in the non-Sprint forums say something along the line of "not for Sprint variant" including the revolution HD thread (all US carriers apart from Sprint)? Yes.
Just take a minute to read through the thread before flashing something. I mean, this is an expensive device where messing with system level files CAN ruin it (obviously) So, don't go jumping into stuff if you aren't going to take the time to understand it.

I thought that fix is just to remove the 4.2.2 multi user sd card issue. I don't think that'll fix your baseband issue. Might be wrong though...

1. Was the phone operating and in use after you rooted it with r1_Superboot?
2. Have you installed Superboot and installed a ROM without rebooting the system or wiping caches/data etc?
3. Have you installed a Custom Recovery?
4. Have you ensured you have read through guides before flashing? I ask this with only -*1*- posting it does not bode well!
