Hello, I have been searching for a rooting method that will work for At&t's Desire 626. I quite like the stock ROM and would enjoy backup security and debloating the ROM. Sadly, no root method I've tried has been successful. I've attempted iRoot app and program, Kingo Root app and program, King Root app, Towel Root app, and Towel Pie Root app.
Any clue?
If you have the 626s - here is a way to root it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63128990
EDIT: NM looks like that worked! At&t desire 626 bought today. SuperSU installed.
So that procedure works for a regular 626 (not the "s" version) from AT&T? Good to know...
Correct. Non-s version from At&t.
doesnt' work
I followed everything step by step and Super SU tells me I have to update the binaries but it doesn't work. Anyone know where I can get the updated binaries to manually install it?
Hmm - so if you tap on the notification, it doesn't update the binaries automatically? Never had that issue...
Does Superuser actually work? If so, and the notification only comes up after a reboot, I probably wouldn't even worry about it...
The super Su app works but none other app recognizes that I have root access, like bloatware removers. I followed every step.
Any ideas?
What exact phone (626, 626s, etc), carrier and Android version?
Plain 626, AT&T Android 5.1
In this same thread they said it would work
Did you use the Supersu zip linked to in the detailed step-by-step procedure post? I know that people had issues with the supersu .zip posted in another thread...
Other than that, I'm not sure - maybe try to flash supersu again?

I have yet to see any warning about SuperSU needing updating. I just confirmed that I can remove any bloatware, edit build.prop, etc.
I can absolutely confirm that I have Cyanogen Recovery booting too, as Im staring at it now.
Maybe I got an older variant of this phone? The store said it was their last one.
Is there anything I can check to verify that this is the same model?
Which version of Android are you running on your 626? 4.x or 5.x?
5.1, hardware info says "desire 626" not 626s or anything else.
I'm wondering if he used the wrong SuperSU .zip file... Someone else had the same issue and after using the correct SuperSU .zip file (the one posted in the detailed step-by-step rooting thread), he was fine...
Let's wait and get confirmation from the user above as to which SuperSU .zip file he used - hopefully, that's the issue.
I also have an HTC Desire 626 (Android 5.1) and can't root it. I know pretty much nothing about this process and didn't even know you could do it until recently. But I need to have it rooted so I can recover deleted SMS messages. Any instructions for a phone dummy?

yes I have htc626x a32_ul android 4.4 model. I tried many ways to root the device. bootloader is already unlocked. king root app gives temporary root that lasts for about 1 minute. there is no any 626x thread at xda developer.

Hello there
I ordered a 32GB HTC One which is coming in about an hour and since I had a HTC One X before, I know that installing ROMs and such isn't as easy as it is on my Samsung Galaxy SIII. I am pretty sure the CID of my HTC One is going to be HTC__J15 like the One X (since that's for the whole Middle East) and so I was wondering what the latest JellyBean is for my device? Is it 4.1.2 or 4.2.2? And speaking of which, I found this website posted on this forum:
http://bugsylawson.com/files/category/49-m7/
But unfortunately I don't understand that codes affiliated with regions and such and any help would be much appreciated.
The phone I ordered is slightly used, only for 4 days, and with local warranty but I would like to install (or re-install if there's no newer JellyBean) the software so I can set it up as a new phone, and I am guessing that's done using the RUU, correct? And if so, which one should I use? I would like to completely format the device and set it up from the start.
And one final thing, would someone be able to link me to an easy rooting guide? And do I get the unlock token using HTC's developer section of the website and use fastboot like I did with HTC One X?
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your time.

First of all I would just do a factory reset, assuming it is a factory default rom, and then leave it for a week or two to get used to it before going down the route of unlocking etc. Read through the One forums to learn all you can before customising.
There is a good guide here for unlocking, rooting, etc manually http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
A useful All-in-One toolkit to guide you through the process here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183942
Look through the One Android Development forum and you will find several custom Roms available which would be suitable for the International Version of the One http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2119
You will need a custom rom as once rooted and unlocked you won't be able to use an RUU nor will you be able to get HTC or carrier OTA updates.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I am going to use the phone as it is for a while and see how things work out. I would really like to install the bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a capacitive button because I am not liking the idea of the two buttons - I am just too used to having three.
The One is as easy to root and ROM as any other device. You DO NOT need to be concerned with the CID or RUU if you download Mikes stock 4.2.2 ROM. Its dead stock (with the option to root) and works without needing to change the CID or flash an RUU

Yeah I have used Android Revolution HD on several devices before and it is the perfect ROM. I already unlocked the bootloader and am in the process of installing recovery as well as downloading and installing ARHD. I was able to locate the Bulletproof kernel which enables the HTC logo as a menu button and it seems like the installation is done from recovery, very simple, is that really the case or is there more to it?

Its easy to flash the kernel but beware as these kernels are not based on the newest or even second newest source so it will decrease performance slightly when you compare apples to apples

Google just listed an article on my feed about FlashFire. Whether it be old already or not, I am curious about whether it will help me.
I have been having some trouble installing different roms for my sprint HTC ONE M8. I want to try ViperOne but I get stuck at the bootloader every time. I am running lollipop 5.0.2, and I would like to update to Marshmallow. I feel that it may help with flashing the newer MM versions of roms.
Has anyone tested flashfire on the sprint variant of the M8? I have briefly skimmed a few threads, but they were for other devices.
Do you still need to find your own stock recovery with flashfire? And the stock rom?
Thanks
Me too...
Just a 'me too'.
I failed installing the very long (7 months) awaited Android 6 on my rooted HTC M8s. I asked for help at HTC, as I understood I needed to restore the original recovery, which I did not have. HTC stated that the only way to go would be using FlashFire, at my own risk... So I delved into that, it sounded very promising, I installed it, and then I ran into a warning about HTC...
So now what?
Does FlashFire work on HTC? Has anyone already used it there (for this purpose)? On which models? Did you have S-off (almost nobody I guess)?
Please share your experiences!
So, firstly, this is my first time ever posting here, in fact I just registered 5 minutes ago.
I recently bought a HTC Desire 626g Dual Sim (NOT 626g+) and I'm getting very tired of android 4.4 and am very interested in either rooting or getting a custom ROM on my phone.
The problem is that I haven't found any reliable way to root my phone or any custom ROMs for my particular make and model.
Second problem is that I have never rooted or flashed a custom ROM onto an android device before, even though this is my third android phone.
So that's it, I'm interested in either rooting or getting a custom ROM, but I don't know where to even begin this endeavour. So if anyone can help me or even point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Phone specs:
Android 4.4.2
Android security path level (if this is of any help): 2015-11-01
HTC Sense version 5.3
Kernel version 3.4.67
If there is anything else I need to provide in order to recieve some help, please let me know.
Thanks

Hey man if you are simply looking to root try KingRoot, it worked on my friends HTC Desire 626. Dont think its available in PlayStore so just go to their web and download the apk file.

You would probably need to unlock your bootloader and pay sunshine $30 to make your device s-off so you can change your make and model (cid #) to a HTC desire 626s. Flash one of T-Mobile or Sprint RUU and update your software firmware.
I never had an s-off device so be cautious and do research before you blame me for a bricked device.
I bought my first HTC and it threw virgin Mobil. I was told it was a HTC Desire 626s. But I had the specs ran on it threw several different apps. It tells me it's a HTC OMP92, 5.1 Android, kernel versions 3.10.39-perf-ga4f8dc4 [email protected] #2 SMP PREEMPT, software version 1.24.651.2 so is my phone a Desire 626s or a OMP92? I have also tried every one touch not computer root I can find and none will work. I have the boot loader unlocked but as far as I know I can flash over a rom with out a computer and I don't have one. Is there another way to flash or a root apk that will work that I have not tried??
Model: HTC Desire 626 (Not S)
Adnroid Ver: 5.1
Htc Sense Ver: 7.0
Software num: 1.09.401.6
Provider: 3 (Three)(Uk)
Ive been trying to use [This](http://forum.xda-developers.com/desire-626/general/htc-desire-626-att-root-confirmed-t3381064) guide to root my HTC but after unlocking the bootloader and installing kinroot i dont actually get the option to root the phone at all, im only able to submit a root strategy...
Is it possible to root this phone at all? or is there something ive missed?
I havent turned s-on/off is that makes a difference.
