recs for a n00b
Since you've never rooted or used a custom ROM before I suggest starting with either mROM or MMuzzy's ROMs. They are close to stock but will get you to Android version 4.2.1
mROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1763823
MMuzzy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846
Remember to MAKE A NANDROID. After you use the toolkit to unlock, root, etc. boot into recovery and MAKE A BACKUP. Also, when you root/unlock it factory resets your phone, so anything not on the SD card that you want to keep, backup to your computer.

This is the thread which completely helped when I was new to rooting and all this stuff. No further help was needed. The methods are very well explained here.

Thanks guys for your active response ..
I followed every step until I plug my mobile in the fast mode , my computer asks me for drivers .!!!
I have tried to ignore it and I continued the step to flush the ROM , but finally it gives me a message as " Waiting for your Device " >>
Guys ..any idea ??

From where I can get these drivers ???

I'm glad you're using fastboot.
Search for naked drivers.
Or use the guide in my Sig or stickied at the top of this forum.
Sorry, at work on mobile. No time to link.

Thanks guys ,
I have tried to use the toolkit software to get the drivers !! and I managed but still wont't work .
Q : Is it possible to install a ROM if the phone is locked ??
bcz i didn't unlocked yet ??

No. Need custom recovery and an unlocked phone to install the recovery.

1. use these drivers.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1379875
2. no you need custom recovery and unlcoked bootloader to flash roms
3. read one of these threads to understand more about rooting, and flashing roms so you dont mess up your phone

To the OP, use the search function (or Google) - it's all out there!!
To everyone else, don't spoon feed them - let them learn it for themselves. It's better, and more rewarding, then being told everything

agreed..

Dont rush the root
efrant and jubakuba have both written guides. I suggest not using the tool kit until you know how to use adb/fastboot.

Don't ignore what your compter says....
Go to the samsung site and download/install the driver http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SCH-I515MSAVZW

guys ,
I'm almost there , I have unlocked my phone ,get the drivers , moved the ROM into my memory , but when I go the the recovery mode to select the ROM and do the following as was request by obe memeber ..
wipe data / factory reset
wipe cache partitoin
install zip from sdcard
choose zip from sdcard
The recovery mode wont complete , it shows one robot with red exclamation mark . Then after few minutes , it got restarted .
What's wrong ??

You've not flashed CWM yet...seriously, read the guides properly

Bricked htc desire 816 dual sim international version

Hello guys, I recently bought Htc desire 816 dual sim mobile from Dubai. I unlocked the bootloader via htc to root that device and in the process I bricked my phone. I am unable to find the stock rom anywhere on internet and for a surprise, I couldnt find this phone model on htc website. Can anyone please help bringing my device alive ?
Although I managed to get the cwm recovery installed on mobile, I couldnt find rest of the files needed to boot the system normally. It keeps on going to cwm recovery only instead of booting to the normal screen. Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase help me with the stock rom (not chinese though)
Regards
vbrsekhar

Please ask questions in the dedicated Q&A forum, Development & Original Development forums are not for posting questions.

Since you can manage to open and access your recovery I believe your phone is not bricked....

but all the files on the internal sd card seems to have wiped and I am unable to get my homescreen at all. Instead all the reboots are going to cwm recovery only. I tried to boot into fastboot mode with no luck too It is randomly going into fastboot/hboot mode.

@vbrsekhar
so maybe? you soft bricked your device...but if you successfully flash recovery you can flash and install HTC Desire 816 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 custom rom

Yeah, that was my last resort, but again everything there is in chinese and not sure if it is dual sim version or not. So it is risky again. Btw, this has only Sense 5.5 and not 6 But better than having nothing though.

Vbrsekhar, have u tried sense 5.5 rom?
Sent from my HTC Desire 816 dual sim using Tapatalk

I don't want to install the Chinese rom as I can't read Chinese and although many bits are in english, some Chinese apps and other pop ups annoyed me much and so waiting for a proper English version. It is ok if I can get only Sense 5.5 rom from anyone but English dual sim version is important. Sense 6 would be great if available.
Ps: I screwed up my mobile again with kingsense2 as I now lost my recovery too. I probably will have to install it again.

[Q] How to Root HTC Desire 820S Dual Sim ?

I want to root my HTC Device , HTC Desire 820S dual sim , not 820 .
Please help me, how to Root ?

Same phone, same issue.

Same phone, same issue.
I can't switch to fastboot using buttons. VolDown+Power brings me to recovery. Recovery acts strangely: VolUp is mapped to Enter, Power is mapped to "No command".
Fastboot can be entered using "adb reboot bootloader". However, it doesn't display menu and doesn't support "oem get_identifier_token" command, so I don't know if it is locked or unlocked, and can't proceed with unlocking instructions.

I found root tutorial + tool for 820S at htcui.com/5553.html
However, it is in Chinese.

Hey use king root to root the device
Sent from my HTC Desire 820s dual sim using XDA Free mobile app

Any other new ideas? King root and the Chinese app didn't work

Sad. This phone is marginalized. I don't think we'll ever get to root it

Have you guys tried kingoroot? It is different from king root. I had rooted my 820s without a problem.

If I may ask. Did you root your phone with the Android or PC kingo root app?

I'm using the PC version. Download it from kingoapp.com, install it then you're good to root!.

It doesn't work on my phone. Took like an hour only to tell me it was unsuccessful. I'm on Android 5.0.2.
Just to confirm, your phone is desire 820 s dual sim?

Yes, mine is 820s dual sim. Maybe they still do not make exploit for 820s lollipop roms.
One might wonder how one click root app like kingoroot functions. Here's the answer.
Would you backup your rom for me when you have achieved root? I highly appreciate it.

Anyone tried this?

Yes I can back it up
Have you installed CWM? And could you please post shots of your about device page

Some have got lollipop OTA on HTC Desire 820s while I'm still stuck on kitkat with no OTA in sight. Haven't rooted.

Here you go. (I tweaked the status bar and nav bar with gravitybox and xstana)
No, I have not installed custom recovery yet. Most of the recoveries are for snapdragon, I cannot do anything with that. I was thinking of flashing the whole rom using sp flashtool for mediatek. Since theres no hboot, there's no need to unlocking the bootloader right and we can flash rom straight away. Or am I wrong?

I hope it comes soon for you or you might look for the lollipop version if it's available and flash it with sp falshtool.
About the bootloader, I'm not sure but I think there's a risk of bricking the device if you flash recovery on an unlocked bootloader
