Hi wiz.. i tried re downloading earlier and using original name (recovery.img) but same message came up ....
unlocked... fastboot usb
I dont believe i have drivers installed yet... appreciate your help so far thanks
I have previously synced my phone using sync manager does that automatically update drivers??
Well then, now all you have to do is flash SuperSU.zip in recovery, and you're rooted!any news on the TWRP front?? I have downloaded newest sync and synced phone, assuming it has newest drivers as i cant find an option for drivers so guess its automatic...
EDIT.. managed to get the recovery flashed.. spoke to dees troy on twrp chat.. suggested i use TAB in terminal to autocomplete the TWRP.img name... funny thing ..that did it.. spelled exactly as i had been typing in but this time it flashed ...weird huh.. ty for your help
thanks wizz, I flashed the supersu earlier, jobs a good one.. just reading different forums now to make sure i am careful proceeding forward.. will be looking at whats available to install now.. a couple of links would be very helpful
ROMS, themes, etc etc ..
np, I have remainder of an 18 month contract so I am sure some will be written soon.... thanks
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.
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.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!
