Hi guys i have a question this root for htc desire 500, function correctly on this program? (GL to SD and Folder Mount)? This programs we need to move some application or game that takes up much of memory.

And another question this phone, how much memory does this phone when you first start?

Simunlock

Hi guys,
Glad to see the comunity starting to form around the device.

I was wondering if you may provide some tips on how to (sim)unlock the Desire 500.
I am aware that there is (yet) no S-OFF for the z4u, so flashing custom ROMS and editing radio is not an option.
Is there a secure & verified way to get an unlock code (My unit is locked to A1 in Austria) for under 20 EUR?

Thanks.
