Hello I am an owner of Desire 500 Dual Sim running latest software at the moment 1.32.401.2. My ask, is there a way to root the device without losing all the data (app data and settings). Because through HTC dev the phone makes full wipe as i heard. What about firewater method is it secure, can someone confirm that it works? Thanks.

Hi all,

New onwer of desire 500 (one Sim), very satisfied up to now. I managed to root, everything is OK.
I will try to install the update as well based on the previous comments.

I only have an issue. Proximity sensor doesn't work :(
It always reports 9CM and even if I cover the sensor this doesn't change.
The light sensor, works as expected. What do you think, is it a hardware failure or a software one ?
I tried reset to factory, still the problem persists. I don't know whether the update may solve the issue.
Does anybody has the same issue ?

Thanks.
Same here.. Proximity sensor stop working, and the same happens whit red led that does't turn on...only green led is working.. is anybody knows a solution for this issue?
