[KERNEL][ROOT]KangBang_r3.0 kernel for Desire 500 * System write protection removed *

oblikas · Jan 6, 2014

This kernel is only for the single sim Desire 500 - android v4.1.2.
The kernel has the wp_mod.ko included.
What is wp_mod.ko? It's a module that breaks the HTC System Write Protection.
What does it mean? It means that now we have a fully working root for our device.

Instructions:

- Download the kernel zip and superuser zip
- Mount system in mounts and storage in CWM
- Flash in recovery the kernel zip
- Flash the superuser zip.

WARNING !
~~DON'T USE SUPERSU,IT WILL BREAK THE ROOT! USE SUPERUSER !~~
Fixed in r2

Tested with Root Explorer,Titanium Backup,Viper4android,Xposed,all worked.

please, can you verify if this problem is only mine or is a problem of recovery philz?

if i "restore default" from settings, when reboot into recovery for wipe, it stops.

thanks

Thank you! It's a good and working kernel. Now would be interesting to start developing the kernel, adding a governor that would allow overclocking the CPU and so on..:good:

sorinaugusto · Jan 8, 2014

Good job!:good:What governors and schedulers has this kernel?I have desire 500 one sim, stock,and for now only reason for(at least for me) root is to change governors and schedulers as I wish,for performance when I need or for long batery life.I'll be interested for CM rom,in future.
