[GUIDE] How to ROOT HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle

[sabpprook]

Install TWRP recovery

First of all, the phone must be bootloader unlocked, if you didn't do that please unlock the bootloader first, you can find many guide for that.
https://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

And one thing, there is a switch called "OEM Unlock" in developer options menu, make it turn on or you will fail to get unlock token.

Now you have a bootloader unlocked device right?

Please download this TWRP recovery
https://twrp.me/htc/htcdesire10lifestyle.html

Let phone reboot to bootloader and switch to fastboot mode then use the command to boot the recovery.

(Temporary)

fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img

If you want install TWRP as main recovery please use the command

fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img

Okay, If everything are work in right way, your device should be in TWRP recovery, you can do everything you want.

I recommend to use Magisk to get root :good:

Thank you very much for letting me get the required link. I just wanted to know what is 'a56dj', is it the code for HTC Desire 10 Lifestyle? How can I get stock boot image for my device, which I think is required while using "magisk" to get root?

If you know adb, then you can connect your device to the PC/Laptop and use the command ' adb reboot-bootloader' to get into fastboot mode. I am also trying to root my device. I will flash 'twrp' and then see what I can do for rooting. But, I have to be careful. I must be able to flash stock recovery.

Getting error in flashing TWRP.

Hi Op,
The command 'fastboot flash twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img' is not working on my device in fastboot mode. It says ' unknown partition twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img' in the second line it says : can not determine image filename for 'twrp-3.2.1-0-a56dj.img'. But I tested the same '.img' file by booting into the TWRP recovery on my mobile through the 'fastboot boot ................... ' command. What is the cause of the error. Plz help.

Help required for busybox.

Hi OP,
Can you guide me to any forum/tutorial for dealing with problems in installing busybox ? Busybox installation fails repeatedly on my device -- through 'busybox installer' & flashing zip file through recovery-- both not successful. Is it because SeLinux enforcing? Do I have to go for S-Off, then only I can install busybox? Plz help.

Bonsoir, excusez-moi de vous déranger, mais depuis deux semaines j'essaye de débloquer le bootloader mais il m'est complètement impossible de créer un compte sur htcdev j'ai essayé plus d'une dizaine de comptes (gmail, hotmail, Outlook et Yahoo) comme ainsi que différents navigateurs chrome, edge et opera mais rien n'y fait, je suis encore nouveau dans ce domaine
J'ai vraiment besoin d'aide car j'ai acheté deux simlocker HTC 10 en ligne sur l'opérateur mobile japonais "au IC Card" et depuis ils sont inutilisables c'était censé être un cadeau pour la Saint Valentin et je suis toujours bloqué à ce stade
S'il vous plaît aidez-moi
