No bootloader/fastboot/recovery Htc Desire 516 dual

[T3snake]

This phone has never been even mentioned on xda so there is nothing to search for.
Anyways i have gone thru some threads of similar phones and tried some one click root methods. They didnt work.

So i thought i should unlock the bootloader.
Just for the sake of it i tried to boot into recovery and was successful.
Then i started following those htcdev.com instruction which required me to go into the bootloader mode.
But whenever i try doing that it either:
-Remains stuck at htc logo screen (the 1st one and not the bootanimation)
-Boots normally

then i saw that i had to press this button release this after so many seconds and......
so just to be sure that im not making those silly mistakes i tried to go into bootloader thru adb which always remains stuck at the htc splash screen (htc - powered by android).
then i tried to go to recovery but now even that isnt possible.

so in short: i cant get into the bootloader so i cant unlock or root. I cant get into the recovery either. The phone otherwise is working pretty normal. But on trying to get into any modes i remain stuck at the 1st htc screen (and not the bootanimation) and then i have to remove the battery to get it booting normally.

It is HTC Desire 516 Dual sim and is on JB 4.3 (if u needed this)

and finally i got this log from a unlock tool if it makes it easier for you

Remove your battery before trying to boot into fastboot.

If you can't remove your battery, go to Settings->Power options And disable fast boot

yea tried that..
same result
btw volume up brings up recovery and down brings bootloaderr
is fastboot a different mode or u call bootloader mode and fastboot the same..?

Yes fastboot and bootloader are the same
Have you tried booting into bootloader with "adb reboot bootloader"

You are not alone !

but there are only kernel sources

How do you mean isn't accesible? What do you see when you type those commands? What is the output?

I have this device, and i booted it in fastboot mode successfully. Open ADB and type "adb reboot-bootloader", the phone will reboot and remain stuck in the boot logo (the first). Now open fastboot and type "fastboot devices" and it will be recognized. I can't unlock bootloader, because when i type "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it remains stuck, and it's so annoying because i want to root this device, can you help me? :crying:

I'm having the same problem. The bootloader is not accessible. I tried all possible root methods but none work. Kinda regretting now buying this phone

As I said it reboots but remains stuck at HTC logo until removal of battery

So since its stuck and we can't do anything
BTW we had an 110 mb update just a few days ago but since my phone can't get into recovery the final steps don't take place where it goes to recovery and finishes up(in my case it remains stuck at HTC logo so device remains as it was when I boot it normally)

Well if they gave us an app2sd feature I ccud forgive em a bit.
I contacted the customer service and when I mentioned a stuck up screen they immediately asked if I WS rooting. So maybe htc did it intentionally or maybe some1 fishy intervened or something

Yes, seriously we need the move to sd card feature. The whole reason of having a feature phone without being able to install any apps or big games sucks

I calculated and found that u can get Max 1.7 GB free (as indicated by the mobile) but if u use mtp or reach 1.5 GB u will not be able to put anything more since there shud always be 200mb free

So we get only 1.5 GB after disabling all the preinstalled apps

So I'm able to boot into fastboot mode, I'm able to boot into recovery mode. But how can we unlock the bootloader?

Yes, but this device isn't in the list, and when I type (in fastboot mode) "fastboot oem get_identifier_token" it stuck and three dots appear.
All command work, but if i type "oem" after "fastboot" (ex. "fastboot oem command list) it stuck with three dots. Help meeeee pleease!

Hi,

I have same device and same problems. I think I tried all solutions I've seen so far. I had HTC wildfire, Motorola XT530, Huawei Ascend G300, HTC Desire X, and I have some expirience rooting, but this phone makes me sick. Just sent an rage mail to HTC, saying that they made great little piece of hardware with software making it almost unusable. So far I tried SuperOneClick, RootGenius and adb root, but nothing works.
