Boot to recovery
Is it possible to temporarily boot the recovery in htc 816, and flash the su binary.
Don't think so, you can always flash the custom recovery, flash SU, then flash back the stock recovery.

No none exist.Oh damn.... Any roms like CM available for the desire 816g? cant seem to find any
OK, now I'm rooted.
tried using my friend's laptop. Win XP!
just follow the instruction and you will be OK.
but in my case, I'm using other Recovery link on youtube (6.0.51). recovery in page one gave me blank screen
now I'm restoring all my files back and install link2SD
You may find installing Link2SD to be harder than expected; don't get discouraged. look around here, there will be help
