Delete the files you have downloaded sir, i just wanna help but this guy who post the roms is lying. Because there is no custom rom build yet for this phone anywhere or anyhow. It might be somekind of spyware or virus or something that he wants to put in your computer or phone itself by using you. Just be carefull!

Did i have to unlock the bootloader before installing the recovery? This is my first HTC phone! Thanks

Flash the recovery through Flashify app. But it requires root access . Download the Flashify app from Play Store and flash the Recovery.

There is no Custom ROM for this phone. If you can start and use your phone means it is not soft bricked then flash the cwm again through Flashify app. I flashed twrp and cwm with flashify app and found no issue with this.

Flash the stock rom agaiın on your phone, if that does not help Download ADB Run + the boot.image of stock rom. Download the right drivers, after put your phone in fastboot. Connect your phone now with your computer. Open ADB Run and choose option number 5 after number 2. Then put the boot.image file in the folder that opens automatically. Than Close the folder open ADB run and press Enter. When is says finished, disconnect the phone from pc. Take out the battery wait for couple of seconds. Than put the battery back in to your phone and start it. It shoud go back to the normal state. :laugh:

Download jelly bean font zip and install it from CWM, I had the same problem with font and that fixed it. It's worth a shot.

You say you can get in to fastboot mode....
If you can get into fastboot mode thats means that ADB RUN should work.

Maybe you need to install the right drivers for ADB?

1 Install the right drivers for ADB
2. Run your phone in fastboot
3. Connect your phone to your computer
4 Open the program ADB Run and see if the program sees your device by pressing number 1 and after again number 1.
5. if you see your device listed then go back and press number 5, after number 2 and place the boot.image in the opend folder.
6. When is succeed your phone should restart normally, just take out the battery and restart again.
----
If it still not work you have to look for other flashing methods and software that could help you.
Succes!;)

    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


    pls do help if u can :highfive: :fingers-crossed:

    Full Root HTC Desire 516 dual sim

    Here is how to root your HTC Desire 516 dual sim
    I downloaded rootdashi_2 4 apk from Chinese website www ug7 net/htc/HTCDesire516yidongban htm < replace spaces with dots
    After I saw the green check mark (I do not understand a word Chinese), I installed zdsrooter_setup_2 6 16 3 exe on my wifes windows computer (I'm on Linux Debian).
    Connected my phone via USB cable, it did something and reboot, after I got full root.
    Replaced Busybox and SuperSU and that's all.
    Downloaded term-init.sh from www theandroidhow com/2014/06/how-to-enable-initd-support-on-android html, executed and got init.d
    (re)formated my external SD Card with 1G ext4 partition (GParted), and with Link2SD got possibility to link my data apps.
    Essentially, this is what I expected from my phone.
    Custom recovery would be cherry on top, but now I can wait.

    Flashify is an option, but since your device appears to have no root access, redoing the rooting process is the logical choice. Maybe iRoot (formerly vRoot) will work, should Kingroot fail again. But I've read somewhere that XDA devs discourage the use of vRoot.

    By the way, what's the error message when you input "adb reboot bootloader"?

    Thanks man!
    It did not output anything. Adb shell reboot bootloader did the trick though :)

    For all the people looking for a simple way to root.

    1.Enable ADB.
    2.In cmd,
    " adb shell reboot bootloader"
    Wait for it to get stuck on the HTC screen.
    "fastboot flash recovery path-to-your-recovery-file" (use cwm as TWRP doesn't work properly yet)
    "fastboot reboot"
    Now download latest flashable of SuperSu and put it in your SD card or internal storage.
    "adb reboot recovery"
    Use cwm to flash the SuperSu file and reboot. (Y)

    Doesn't work!!


    Another option that you can try is the following Chinese Software called iRoot. (Previously called Vroot) Al you have to do is install the software, click Root and connect the USB cable. If I remember the order correctly.

    This one worked for me:
    http :// www . mgyun . com / en / getvroot (Replace spaces by nothing)

    According to some video's and forums you can later replace iRoot by SuperSu. Haven't tried this yet, cause I can work with this for now.

    Hope this helps someone.

    Now let's hope someday we can run CWM or TWRP recovery and that Cyanogenmod (or another good custom rom) is made available for our phone. It seems that they have somehow forgotten our phone. :(

    Do you have a backup of the original boot.img if something goes wrong? Also if new OTA updates are released I guess v need to switch back to original files in order to install OTA updates.
