Well then, now all you have to do is flash SuperSU.zip in recovery, and you're rooted!

Do you have the file or do you need a link?

Are you referring to ROMs?

hi everyone!
i have an htc desire 500 which is stuck in a boot loop.
i tried doing a factory reset, didn't work.
so i unlocked it using htc dev.
i can enter fastboot, but i'm unable to enter recovery.
i installed botw twrp and cwm recoveries and they both said OKAY, but i'm still unable to acces recovery.
Any ideas what i could try?

Hmmm, do you have HTC Drivers installed?


I'm also thinking that the file could be corrupted. I also see people are having trouble with the recovery, so hold on. Let me look into other solutions for you.

Hi
I try to root HTC Desire 500 too.

I want to use it in WiFi repeater mode with fqrouter2

Following your intructions here I did:

1. unlock your bootloader with HTCDev, - sucessful
2. flash a recovery like TWRP - (done: recovery.img, fastboot OK), I don't know if I missed something or is it all.
3. " and then flash SuperSU in recovery." - I don't know what it is and how to do. Please help!

Download Supersu.zip from chainfire.eu, put the zip file on your phone, go to recovery (twrp), select install, select the supersu.zip file and flash it. Reboot the phone and you should be rooted after that.
