Desire 510 S-Off? - HTC Desire 510

I rooted my new Desire 510 today and I want to change the DPI. I did some googling and couldn't find how to get S-Off on the Desire 510. It says S-ON when I go into fastboot. Anyone know how to get S-Off?

You have to flash a kernel for your carrier with write protection removed. Look in Desire 510/Android Develooment for the kernel that matches your carrier, download it, back up your stock kernel (boot img) or download your stock kernel from one of the threads in Desire 510 Android Development, flash the write protection removed kernel using ADB or Flashify (look for it in the Play Store), change your DPI, and then flash your stock kernel back if you so choose. Done!

Thanks for your input. My carrier is Telus, the Canadian variant. I'm not sure if using the Sprint/Virgin kernel will mess up my phone, or any other kernel for that matter. I asked the same question in that thread and I got a reply saying it will be fine, I'm not quite sure that is correct though. Any thoughts?

It will, DO NOT DO IT. Sprint is CDMA, Telus is GSM. There is a better way. DO you have this file: 0PCVIMG_A11_UL_K44_DESIRE_SENSE60_AIO_TELUS_WWE_1.11.661.1_Radio_1.101.1372.19.0725_10.22.4205.00L_release_391960_combined_signed_2_4.zip ?

I already got the DPI changed by temporarily booting the Sprint kernel through fastboot. Then after I restarted it had my old kernel again. To answer your question, no I do not have that file. What does that file do? I'm not sure if anyone else has Telus that participates on this forum either...

I already got that file. What I need now is the HBoot file that goes with that version. It is needed to calculate the key to decode the zip file. The idea is to get a VM/Sprint CDMA phone running on a GSM network.

Hello miniandroidp,
Firewater does not work for our phone. You have to use Sunshine.

I've tried Sunshine and it didn't work for me. I have the boost mobile version of the HTC desire 510. I've also already rooted my phone.

Sunshine costs money in order to work... So go over to http://theroot.ninja/ to get it.

It didn't get to the payment screen. I am trying to get rid of bloatware.

You do not need s-off to do that But you should still try it just purchase it http://theroot.ninja/... All you need is to install a recovery and then install a different kernel other than the stock one and then you'll be able to delete all of the bloatware.

Okay, thank you. Someone told me I needed s off. I have TWRP installed, so that should be good, right?

Yes, just make sure you use a different kernel/boot because if you don't and you delete all the bloatware, the minute you reboot your phone all of the bloatware is going to reinstall itself again. So don't waste time deleting anything if you don't flash another kernel/boot first!

In the end, no matter how much you delete you're only going to end up with close to 1GB of space out of the entire 4GB that's available on the phone because the other 3GB is on a partition that we don't have access to so trying to get all of the 4GB won't work.

That's fine. I'm not trying to obtain a whole bunch of space, just want them off.

Would it be alright if I send you a pm? @MrMike2182

Bell ICS OTA zip file

I managed to pull out the Bell ICS OTA from my SDCard and I am sharing it for you guys!
I hope this can fix the annoying fact that we can't use stock WiFi Tether with the ATT base!
Link here: --> OTA_HOLIDAY_ICS_35_S_BM_3.38.666.2-1.65.666.3_release_255932wpop8vtj8tts3ou3.zip <--
I also have a plain Bell ICS nandroid (RUU'ed, directly OTA'ed then Backed up) if you want me to upload it, so just say me if you'd like it and I'll push it sometime during the W/End!

Is there a beats audio belt in, as in at&t build?
Question
Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm guessing this is the flashable zip by recovery same as any other ROM right?, has any one tested this already??
Thanks!
This file is the OTA update file you will get only when you have Bell's stock GB ROM already installed on the Raider. It is not a complete ROM, and if your CID is not BM___001 it will not let you update.
There is no Beat Audio in this ROM.
any luck getting this installed on a stocked rooted bell raider?
I don't really want to wipe again, buddy of mine tried by locking bootloader removing superuser but it failed.
If you are rooted, with unlocked bootloader, and SuperCID your phone, the update will not apply properly, it will even display a message saying your phone's software has been modified and stops right there.
You will probably have to start fresh again.
I managed to flash it on Roger's Raider (to use on Bell).
I was gonna write a tutorial but wasn't sure how many will actually need it the exact same way I do, here is the short version of what I did:
I was already using AT&T ICS (already have s-off, supercid, etc)
1) in fastboot, change CID to BM___001
2) in fastboot, relock bootloader
3) in fastboot, flash Bell GB RUU
4) boot into OS, update to ICS (right from "System Updates" in settings)
5) in fastboot, unlock bootloader (you will need a new unlock bin, the old one from GB didn't work for me, follow the steps at HTCDEV again)
6) in fastboot, flash custom recovery and change CID back to 11111111 if you want
7) boot into the custom recovery you just flashed, and flash supersu package
8) profit.
That's what I did anyway... let me know if anyone wants a longer version of this.
thanks but i have a stock Bell with S-ON and its just rooted. My buddie already got ICS by lock the bootloader and flashing the Bell GB RUU, but i'm looking for a way around itso i don't have to start over.
Nandroid ??

If you are SuperCID (11111111) you dont have to put it back to BM___001. Just flash the RUU than flash the zip. That's what I did and it worked. i was also under ATT firmware.

Thank you soo much. I didnt want to install it just to get a "base". The last time I tried to cook a ROM was for a SGS, and by the time I could cook anything, the seasonsed devs beat me to it 4 times overs. Developement is slow/scarese for this device so I might have a chance this time. It's gonna time me 9 hours to download the damn thing though

I definitely will. I'm actually ripping through it now. I think I will make a base Bell Rom with root busybox and de-odex first. then add tweaks and such. I don't get much time to "play" with it much as I work full time and have 3 young kids. but keep checking the dev forum for a new Rom ;-)

As far as I'm aware the **tampered** flag is there in the same spirit as the yellow triangle on Samsung devices, exactly so they can tell you've unlocked and modified it. Unfortunately, I do not believe there is currently a method such as with triangleaway to get rid of this on the One yet. You'll just have to chance it and send it back as is

RUU
If you download and the One's RUU from HTC's website, it erases the tampered. I discovered this when I had to restore my device to stock with the RUU.
Should be to download the RUU, run the RUU. The bootloader needs to be relocked.
After you set set it back to factory, just unlock the bootloader and you're free to go.
If the exe version doesn't work, the fastboot version should.

Desire C Cricket HBOOT 1.63 Radio 0.92.00.0903 Unlocked Bootloader S-On
I was trying to put a recovery on and root after unlocking bootloader and for whatever reason I cannot get into any recovery other than stock. Once in stock I cannot flash anything. Only thing I could tell was previous owner had a customer kernel on it but now I cannot get past the HTC red writing screen.
Normally in this situation I would go back to stock via PL01DIA.zip update in bootloader but I cannot find a viable one for this specific device.
OK, somehow got a working CWM Recovery. But I cannot get any roms to boot past the HTC red writting screen. Does anyone out there have a full CWM backup of a working Cricket rom?

HTC Desire 510 - Problem overwriting memory block

Hi Guys,
Step 1.
I've dumped /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 which is called "Board info"from my HTC onto my computer and opened it with Hex editor.
Step 2.
This file contained some data and CID followed by IMEI. I've edited the CID to 11111111 HOPING that I'll get a superCID. I've overwritten the existing /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 file with my modified file. Operation succesfull and no problems shown by ADB.
Step 3.
I verified if I've done Step 2 correctly by repeating Step 1 and surprisingly the /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 doesn't seem to be overwritten which makes me really sad and I'd really appreciate if someone would be so kind enough to help me by answering why are my changes not taking effect ?
P.S. I've had the whole /dev partition remounted to be read/write as well as that to be extra sure I've changed permissions to 777 for /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 but I'm stuck at step 3, the only answers that come to me are that either I'm doing something wrong or the phone doesn't allow me to overwrite mem blocks.

Thanks for your answer, I wasn't aware of that. You probably know the next question though - How do I get S-OFF ? I've tried an app called *SunShine* but I've had no success with it because it threw an error saying that I need to have a different ROM for the app to work. Ironically the reason I want superCID is to get a different ROM onto my phone ...

Sunshine does work 100% I can vouch for it. You simply need to go back to complete stock by using an RUU once your phone is completely stock including the stock recovery you can either ask me here for help with it or find @jcase over on his website theroot.ninja and I'm sure he will be more than happy to assist you with it... One other thing though if you're using a 64 bit phone it's not going to work with the sunshine app.

I have stock RUU downloaded and waiting but I can't install it because it's CID doesn't match with my phone CID. That's why I want superCID and that's what I meant when I said I want to get a "different ROM on my phone" , I should have made myself clearer in the last post. I'm currently running CynanogenMod 12.
So far I've tried the GoldCard maneuver and dumping memory block followed by hex editing and re-dumping it onto my phone (hence this thread) as well as the above mentioned SunShine app.
It feels like I'm drastically running out of options here, do you have any other advice ?

You really don't even need to be going through any of that crap if all you want is to use another rom... All you need to do is get an unlock code from HTC by giving them the token from your phone then you flash the unlock_code.bin and then flash a recovery of your choice I use twrp 3.0 at the moment because it's the newest one and make sure it's specifically for the HTC Desire 510 or it won't work after you flash the recovery you make a backup of your system before doing anything else so you have something to fall back on just in case and then you download the rom you want to either the sd card in the phone or to a computer and flash it and voila new rom... I suggest you search how to unlock the HTC Desire 510 bootloader and then search for how to root the HTC Desire 510 and after you read the step by step instructions you'll be able to get the rom on your phone... You'll need to install minimal adb and fastboot to c: drive to flash anything at all so download that too.

I've got it all done otherwise I wouldn't be running CynanogenMod 12 which I mentioned above. The thing is I don't have the backup I made for my original ROM. After an extensive research I've found a stock ROM which is suitable for my phone but it is not in the form of an image or zip file. It's a .exe Rom Update Utility (RUU) hence I'm dealing with all the stuff I've outlined in my previous post and looking for more help.

So I'm guessing you're using the CM12.1 that patrik made because the other one doesn't really work correctly and that leads me to believe your phone is a 64 bit then correct? What phone carrier are you using? I need a name.

Yes, Precisely CM 12.1-20151110-UNOFFICIAL-a11ul by patrik. Yes, my phone is 64 bit indeed. As for the carrier I've bought my phone unlocked so I don't know the original carrier, however, after investigating into my CID which is HTC__052 it turns out that Tesco is my carrier BUT I was using my phone with Vodafone UK the entire time and that's the RUU that I was trying to flash onto my phone with no success so far...

Because the Vodafone' CID isn't HTC__052 so you'll need to flash the Tesco one and you really don't have much of a choice at this point because there's no s-off for the HTC Desire 510 64bit and you unfortunately cannot change your CID without being s-off so your best bet to get stock back is to use Tesco if there's even one available.

Where are you downloading the rom from so I can look at it on my system and see if I can change the CID of it to match your phone.

I'm not sure which one you downloaded since it's showing me a whole list of them. If you find that the files are corrupted that's why they won't work.. in any case, do you have the unlock_code.bin from HTC? Save it forever.
Download this and place it in the backup folder on your sd card and then boot into recovery and flash it...

Are you sure? Did you try to boot it? Some people even have to extract the boot.img and flash it after the installation process finishes. What recovery are you using? Did you do a wipe on the partitions before flashing?
Yes I booted it and prior to writing my previous post I opened up the fastboot and tried fastboot flash of boot.img that I've extracted from that archive, the phone rebooted and that's about it, no changes made.

I changed it to match your CID so it would work. I made it awhile ago I just had it on the sd card so I changed the CID to yours and uploaded it.

Desire 628 hboot or hosd needed

Hello everyone. I'm attempting to assist @arindambag recover his device from a soft brick.
If anyone with a rooted Desire 628 (2PVG) could provide a dump of their hboot or hosd, it would be greatly appreciated.
The version doesn't matter. It is only needed to generate a key file for the RUU extraction tool.

It seems that some people were able to root with Kingroot on the originally released rom, but, as far as I know, there's no way to root yet after updating.
With no custom recovery (yet), root will not be possible unless another vulnerability is discovered.

Then is there any process to go back to the original rom? I mean revert this update? If we flash the original stock rom before update? Then we will be able to root it with KingRoot

If you can s-off, you should be able to use any RUU for your phone or change regions with a CID change, but I'm not that familiar with the HTC mediatek devices, though.

None so far. I really need an hboot for your model. Or images, or anything really...
It is really difficult to support without the phone or images.

Since Tathyajit has the same model and also in working condition, can we extract the hboot or system image file from his phone and check? Just a thought. In that case, we need to guide Tathyajit how to do that, if required.
Without root permission,is it possible to extract hboot and system image file.
@Tathyajit: Please share your getvar info so that we can know the model and version of your phone.

No, root or custom recovery would be required to get an hboot image.

If you can find a way to get root on your device, I'll be able to provide instructions to extract what I need to decrypt the RUUs for all Desire 628s. Unfortunately, without root and no custom recovery available at this point, the only way to fix @arindambag's phone is via a RUU that is not available (yet).
Need help please, could able to install the RUU for version 1.17.400.1 and the phone also started successfully, but suddenly the phone went off and now it's not starting. I tried all combinations of Volume Up, Down, Power, etc. but could not able to start. Once the charger is connected, pressing the Power button shows the Battery icon once and then again the phone goes off. Pressing combinations of hard buttons, I could able to listen in my PC that connecting/disconnecting sound is coming but nothing getting displayed in the screen.
At one point of time,the HTC logo screen did come but the phone again going to the black screen.
Any suggestions would really help me.
Check this if you could find what you need
I have root via kingroot on a purchased outright medtech HTC desire 628. If you tell me how to go about getting any info that would help let me know.

Its really simple mahn... Just download TWRP builder. Grant root access and upload your boot image. Make sure you have backed up your current boot.img . When the custom twrp recovery is ready, the app will let you know. For me, it didn't work. Then I contacted the developer and he did some tweaks and sent the recovery for the second time. And it worked!
