I have HTC Desire 816G Dual sim which is the Mediatek variant.
Is there any tutorial to root this phone? Also is it possible to root without unlocking the bootloader? If not, can I root & relock the bootloader & get my warranty back?
Follow this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
Also if you go ahead and remove root, and relock your bootloader your still in warranty, because HTC doesn't count an unlocked bootloader as voiding warranty.
^^ Thanks. But that is for 816 & not 816g. Both have different hardware.

Did you even try the root method for the 816? Should work.
Your only issue might be the recovery. Don't know exactly how similar these devices are.
The devices are entirely different. One is Qualcomm SOC and another is Mediatek. So rooting will be entirely different.
UPDATE: I was able to acquire root using iRoot application. Then installed SuperSU to remove the Chinese root app. No need to unlock bootloader or install custom recovery.

iRoot should work. Make sure USB debugging is on & that you have disabled any anti-virus on your phone because the antivirus thinks that the installed apps are malware. Uninstall all the three apps after you install SuperSU.

I have done exactly that but still it fails, it surely installs some kinda Chinese apps but only 2 not three and it shows that root has failed and I also checked it on Root checker but it also doesn't shows that the phone is rooted, I tried the exact procedure on a Samsung device and it worked like a charm. This iroot software automatically installed a Kinguser apk on it but I don't know why it is not working for this HTC desire 816G. Pls help me! I desperately need it. What version of iroot did you use? I am using version 1.7.9.2 and thanks for replying.
Rooted sucessful with iroot thank u meburhan007

Thank god I was somehow able to acquire root but can you tell me how did you get rid of this Chinese app , I installed Superuser apk but I don't know how to update binary and it says its recommended to install binary via recovery on HTC devices and I don't have installed recovery on top.
Can someone provide stock boot.img and recovery.img or update.zip
pls can someone upload these files from their 816g. my device is stucked on htc logo. need either the img files to flash cwm recovery or update.zip will also do as this has happened due to i cleared cache and data for all user and system data by titanium backup

Hi all...... I have just got a breif question maybe there is no root out yet for 5.0.1 or I am just being stupid but i had 4.4 rooted and updated to 5.0.1 lollipop i do have a custom recovery being twrp, however i cannot install the binary i get ......
There is no binary installed and supersu cannot install it. This is a problem !
if you just upgraded to android 5.0 you need to manually re~root consult the relevnt forums...
i have tried uninstalling super su but it wont uninstall as im not rooted... i have tried manually installing the supersu binary.zip from sd card
and tried installing a different supersu nothing will work any ideas people

Which TWRP did you use?
I flashed 2.7.0.1 but when i try to boot to recovery I get the white screen with the red warning at the bottom, and "booting into recovery" in pink at the top, but then it fails and reboots to normal system.
not working
i think chain fire didn't release root for 5.0.1....
if i knew that, i wouldn't update to this android
Works fine on Nexus/GPe devices so must be an Sense thing
Rooted my M8 with S-ON and bootloader unlocked.
I installed first openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.3
Then entered recovery mode to install SuperSU (latest version)
worked fine.
Did have a WiFi issue, no sure why, but after factory reset problem was solved.
Didi have also the facebook messenger lag problem when in app sound was active.
I just went back to 4.4.3 in the end and installed the viperone Rom and have to say i am impressed

You may want to download a root checker app to verify. If it wasn't root properly, I would re-download the SuperSU zip and install it once more.

tried root checker, i got this message : (( Congrats, root access is properly installed on this device )) in green color.
so my device is rooted, why i still can't gain access to that app ( xmodgames ) i used to gain access when on 4.4.4
did any body tried this app on 5.0.1 ???

My guess is the given app is not compatible with Lollipop.
Try a couple other apps that require root access; e.g., root file explorer.

mmmm, maybe you are right, coz checker is ok, other some apps needs root works fine, like root explorer, aptoide, busybox, but xmodgames

XDA Does not and will never support warez.
please someones confirm us about lollipop 5.0.1.
does our HTC M8 has a root access for this version of android ??
many requests from a lot of users for root access.
i tried all previous versions for chain fire super su, but didn't work, it keeps saying binary needs to be updated, and we have to do it manually.
i heard some talks about flashed kernel.
please experts, relief this pain...:cyclops:
Root access working on Lollipop for me. Installed latest TWRP and downloaded Chainfire SU to internal memory. Flashed the zip through the recovery and restarted.

you can try installing custom recovery (TWRP or any custom recovery you want) and flash the Super user and remove kinguser this way should work i guess

sir please help me rooting my device ive got lg g3 d855 android version 5.0 software version V20n-234-30. thanks
Please help me root my G3 too. I'd love to know how
this is a simple way root your device not sure if it will work but it works with marshmallow tho
1)you will download kinguser apk from playstore and try to root your phone try to root your phone if it failed you will download the windows version of iroot from here http://www.iroot.com/ (you are rooted here)
If you want to swap to supersu
2)you will need to install a custom recovery which will be simple will install this from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager&hl=en thats TWRP and will select your device
3)https://download.chainfire.eu/921/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip you will need to download this zip and reboot to custom recovery you can do it manually or by this apk https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fr.petrus.tools.reboot
flashing a zip: will be by pressing install in recovery then you will search for the zip in the location you put it in. im not responsible for anything happens to your device.

If you have locked BL , you'll probably need to use king first, then change to su. With unlocked BL, just download custom kernel and flash with fastboot, then use recovery to flash su.
Hello to all ,
I'm running the 14.6.A.1.236, and I've recently unlocked the Bootloader.
I want to unlock all "bands" . per a post that i saw here.
@ levone1 - Can I root the phone, and keep the same firmware version (as stock), is it possible ?
Thank you .

Download a kernel IMG, (like this one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...rnel-advanced-14-5-0-242-kernel-v1-0-t3096060), and flash in fastboot. Works with .236.
