Does anyone else own the HTC Desire 820 MT (Desire 820 Mini) and successfully rooted? I have been trying to root this phone for several days and I cannot figure it out. Here are some of the things I've tried thus far:
Windroid Universal Android toolkit - It says it flashed TWRP successfully, but whenever I select HBoot > Recovery it just takes me back to select HBoot again. I can never see TWRP's recovery mode, so I can't click install for SU.
adb/SDK (fastboot flash recovery file.IMG AND fastboot boot File.IMG) - I tried to manually install TWRP, but it always comes back with fail. I successfully flashed CWM and philz_touch, but it also fails and shows a battery charging icon instead of going back to
I've tried installing GMS 安装器 to get the google apps at least and it also gives either an HBoot loop or battery charging icon (when flashed with CWM/philz).
did you unlock the bootloader?

I have serious problems with my phone that I could really use some help with as at the moment I'm completely screwed - I've already spent hours reading forums but have yet to find advice that will help. Here's whats happened:
I have an A8181 HTC Desire, and I took an OTA update yesterday that bricked my wifi. At this point I thought it would be easiest to root my phone, and after checking that my hboot version was 0.93, I read advice that said to downgrade this to 0.83, which I duly did.
Now, my phone is stuck in a bootloader loop - I get the 3 androids on skatebooards with FASTBOOT in red, and I can choose from:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
If I select bootloader I then get:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
I can access recovery and apply update.zip roms successfully (I've only tried official HTC 2.2 roms as the phone isnt rooted), but after doing so it just goes back to the bootloader loop.
If I select FASTBOOT then I'm just back at the first screen.
I've tried clearing cache and factory reset aswell, but I still can't get past this 2 screen loop.
It's like the bootloader just can't load whatever rom is installed.
Because the phone isn't booting up, I can't use adb or any other pc tools as the device is not detected on my pc - although it does show up in device manager on windows.
I'm close to sending this back to try a warrantly claim, although I'm worried that by trying to fix this I may have invalidated this.
I'd really appreciate any help or advice as to how I can get out of this and get my stock 2.2 back.
Cheers
If your computer using windows, have you installed hboot drivers?
If you have those installed your pc should detect the phone.

You shouldn't have had to downgrade your bootloader. If you can, go back to the newer.
The wifi issue, was widespread on desires, I had it also after a "pushed" update from HTC (european model, unlocked). I downloaded a stock 2.29 froyo. Had to make a gold card also. Took several tries, wipe cache, but eventually successful.
Then, I rooted, and went to CyanogenMod7 rom with clockwork recovery.
Hello
This is my last ditch attempt to fix my HTC ONE X, before I resign and send it to HTC for a repair. The phone was rooted and locked to T-mobile UK when the update for 4.0.4 came through 2 days ago. I downloaded it OTA and installed the update. After the update had installed the phone was in a bootloop. It kept loading the home screen and rebooting.
I have tried the following with no success!
Initially couldn't get access to recovery, but when I reflashed recovery I have no access to the sd card. The drive shows up on my computer when connected via usb but it says there is no drive connected and all my files appeared to have been deleted, although the reset folders are visible! So can't transfer a custom ROM and flash.
I have reflashed a boot.img and now the ONE X doesn't even get to the home screen it just hangs at the htc splash screen.
I have also relocked the bootloader to flash a RUU. This hasn't worked either. It appears to be working and the phone screen turns black with an install icon, but the RUU stops after approx 1 min, says it's completed, but nothing has changed on the phone.
This has been a nightmare and am just about to package it up and send to HTC and accept any charges for rooting!
Please help!!!
Can you get the phone in hboot/fastboot ?
What do you see when you enter
Fastboot devices or adb devices ?
If it works unlock your bootloader again with the unlock token.google the exact fastboot command, don't know it for sure now i'm on my phone.
Reflash custom cwm recovery (5.8.0.4 if i'm guessing it right) you can mount sd card within recovery
From there flash a custom rom again.
Flash kernel from the rom and install it with a full wipe.
Think it's your best option as far as I can see now
If your bootloader is locked and you have a stock recovery you can not flash anything

Thank you for your reply.
I managed to finally get access to the SD card and transfer a custom ROM. Which I flashed and the phone is working again!!
Thank you for your help!! So relieved!
Hi to all! My phone at the moment:
Unlocked....S-ON.....H-Boot - 1.27.0000......Radio - 11.25A.3504.13_M
I have NOT turned on USB debugging. I have tried flashing numerous roms. I've tried flashing many PG58IMG.zip files using both cmd from my pc
and from the sd card. I've tried flashing with the bootloader unlocked and relocked.
The only thing i have acchieved so far is installing a recovery.img (Teamwin Recovery Project v.2.1.0) and installing a stock rom 3.33.401.153 from the sd card using the recovery from the bootloader. Unfortunately, despite that the installation finishes succesfully (the only warning message I get during the installation is that md5 can't be found which I don't now what it means and the installation is ignoring and continues normally) and asks me to rebbot the system...the phone still won't open until I put the battery out, put it again and power it on. Still..white screen with HTC logo... nothing happening.
My questions...When installing a rom the bootloader should be locked or unlocked?
To install a stock rom should the phone be S-ON or S-OFF?
Is there a way to turn it S-OFF as it is? I cannot turn USB debugging on...
Any suggestions on what to do?
Thank you!!
Hello All,
I am looking for some advice to get my phone working again.
I have a modified bootloader and S-Off.
When choose the recovery option in the bootloader it goes back to HBOOT after showing a brief android screen that mentions something about a development build. The phone does try to boot but gets stuck on the HTC logo screen. From what I can tell I have no OS installed and no longer have a recovery. I am also unable to get abd working since i cant enable usb debugging etc.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Matt
Were you doing something to the phone that led to this condition? If so, list those steps in as much detail as possible.

ADB only works within the Android operating system, however, as you noted, you have no OS. Instead, what you need is fastboot - which, if you can get HBOOT to come up, you have. There are several "kits" with fastboot versions, or you can download the full SDK, which will have it. It is similar to ADB, but operates at the bootloader level instead.
1) Since you are S-off, and presumably bootloader unlocked, just flash a new recovery from fastboot. From there, install a new ROM/nandroid from your SD card.
2) If you aren't bootloader unlocked, boot (rather than install) TWRP, and use the ADB bridge mode to manually reset the lock state using Scotty's thread. Then go back to #1
3) Or, if you haven't altered your CID/MID, just re-run an RUU and put it all back to a known state. (assuming there is an RUU for your CID/MID)
These aren't detailed instructions, but there are several threads relating to each tip in the forum.
Today, I did everything which was in this article:
http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/unlock-bootloader-root-your-htc-one-m8-0154444/
Possibly I forgot about turning on "usb debugging" after unlocking bootloader.
I used the newest TWRP and SuperSU.
After all I restarted phone and now it stucks on the HTC logo.
I tried to perform factory reset (I have access to bootloader) but it doesn't help.
What should I do now?
solved, I flashed CM 13 and everything is ok.

I know you got the phone running another way, but what version numbers TWRP and SuperSU specifically? Folks often claim they used the "latest", but when prompted for actual version numbers, we often found they are not even close to using the "latest".
