2) Press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time.

3) Using the sound keys, select “Fastboot” and press the power button.

4) Connect your smartphone to your computer using a USB cable.

5) Download and install Android SDK(Software development kit- developer kit). You can take the archive on the official site, there are versions for Windows, MacOS X and Linux. You may also need Java (you can download from the official website) and program HTC Sync , which includes the necessary drivers.

6) Unpack Android SDK, create new folder(for example, C:\Android) and copy three files into it:

a) To find these files, run SDK Manager.exe from the \android-sdk-windows folder.

b) Wait, after a couple of minutes the packages available for download will be displayed. Install Android SDK Platform and Android SDK Tools from them (or update if your SDK version is r11).

c) Once the installation is complete you will be able to find:

Adb.exe and adbWinApi.dll in the \android-sdk-windows\platform-tools folder.

12) Enter “fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin” into the command line and see a message similar to that shown in the screenshot above. Another message will appear on the smartphone screen:

It is a must read. In short, the meaning comes down to another repetition of “The dark side are they.” Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny”, which in Russian translation sounds like the well-known “Once you take the first step along the dark path, you will no longer be able to turn away from it...”:)

Reading the notice about possible problems with third-party firmware, possible loss of warranty, deletion of all information from the device and other warnings and, if you have not changed your mind, use the volume control key to select “Yes” and press the power button. Ready! The smartphone will be returned to factory settings and the bootloader will be unlocked.

If you select “No”, the smartphone will reboot and no changes will be applied.

13) To lock the bootloader, enter “fastboot oem lock” in the command line. It won't restore standard lock, but simply blocks it, prohibiting any further changes. To reopen, you will need to repeat step 12.

How to do it firmware you will find the answer in the question "HTC Wildfire firmware. How?"

Install the latest (4.2.2) Android on old man HTC Desire S

• Android development

HTC Desire S can rightly be called an oldie, it has been on sale for more than two years. I've had the device for over a year and a half. Nevertheless, this is a device with very good hardware, a high-quality screen and a metal body.

Surely, like all HTC fans, I was drawn to their proprietary shell "Sense". The stock unit included Android 2.3.5 And Sense 3.0.

Then there was a whole epic waiting for the official firmware on Android 4, the completed version of which was never released. Even before the release of this firmware “for developers” my nerves gave way and “custom” unofficial builds started pouring into the phone one after another. Was tested and official with Android 4.0.4. Some time passed and the choice settled on CM10.1 With Android 4.2.2 and all its delights, for which hardware The device is quite enough.

Let's begin!

The instructions are valid for Windows OS.

It is worth warning that you do all manipulations with your device yourself, carefully and on your own initiative; the author of this post is not responsible for anything that may happen to your device in the process.

Also, during the flashing process, the data will be erased. Contact log, SMS, etc. Phone book recovers from account Google. It is impossible to restore the SMS archive as it could be done in “Sense”. You need to take care of this before manipulating the phone. Data on the SD card will not be affected.

What software we need during the flashing process:
1) HTC Sync drivers for working with your phone
2) Elements of Android SDK - drivers for working with the phone
3) Recovery - a program that allows you to work with your phone, memory card, firmware, etc., without operating system on the phone itself
4) Firmware CM10.1 from Andromadus
5) GAPPS set - a set of services from Google

6) just in case, I attach Recovery, the one that is installed by default on the phone. Useful if you need to roll back to official firmware. To roll back, you also need to lock the bootloader back (see point 3 - Unlocking the bootloader).

It is worth noting that for Desire S there are other builds on Android 4.2.2, such as AOKP, PACman, AOSP, JellyTime, etc. For this article, I chose the CyanogenMod 10.1 build.

Go!

1) Install the HTC Sync package. It contains the necessary drivers for working with the phone via a PC.

2) Unpack the archive android-tools.zip to drive C (you can do this anywhere, for our convenience the address should be shorter, since these files will be accessed on the command line). Let the files be located at the following address after unpacking: C:\android\

3) Unlocking the bootloader. Required for replacement standard Recovery and installing custom builds. See how to unlock the bootloader. We don’t pay attention to the fact that our model is not in the list, select “All Other Supported Models”. Steps 5 and 6 of the instructions for unlocking the bootloader - skip, because... we already have necessary files in folder C:\android\.

4) Installing third-party Recovery. Necessary for working with firmware files, directly installing firmware, creating backups and formatting system memory and caches.

To login bootloader phone, you need to remove the battery for a couple of seconds and insert it back. Holding down the rocker button on your phone volume down press the power button. After a couple of seconds a blue-red-green menu will appear bootloader"A.

We connect the phone to the PC, use the volume rocker to select the line - fastboot(it is selected by default) and press the power button.

Archive from point 3 of the software for flashing - Recovery.zip unpack into C:\android\.

Open the command line. If Windows XP: Start - run - cmd. If more later versions: Start - in the “Search programs and files” field we write cmd, after which we launch the found program.

Using the command line, go to the folder with our files C:\android\. To do this, type in the command line:

cd c:\android\

Enter the following code on the command line:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img and press enter. After a couple of seconds, Recovery is installed.

5) Formatting your phone's system memory. To do this we need to go to the new, installed Recovery. How to login bootloader was discussed in the previous paragraph. On the menu bootloader"and use the volume rocker to select the green line - Recovery and press the power button of the phone. To be able to restore data and previous firmware, it is recommended to make a backup in the corresponding menu item Recovery.

IN Recovery(touch control) select a line wipe | format and choose further - wipe data/factory reset. In a few seconds system memory the phone will be cleared.

6) Firmware installation.. We copy the files from steps 4 and 5 of the flashing software to the memory card in the phone. For this purpose mainly Recovery menu select the item - toggle usb storage . After a couple of seconds, the memory card will be detected in the PC and you can copy the firmware and GAPPS file to it.

After copying is complete, click - Disconnect in Recovery and we get back to the main menu. Choose install from sdcard, find the copied firmware archive flinnycm101_saga_22 and install. After installing the firmware, install GAPPS in the same way. After the installation is complete, go back to bootloader, for this it is no longer necessary to manipulate the battery. In Recovery, select the bottom line - power menu and in it - reboot into bootloader

Ready? left just a little bit.

7) Kernel firmware. To do this, open the archive on your PC flinnycm101_saga_22 from point 4 of the software and copy the file boot.img V C:\android\.

Go back to the Windows command line and enter:

fastboot flash boot boot.img press enter. Ready. Now let's go to point fastboot menu bootloader"and we choose - reboot

The phone will boot with the new firmware. It will be necessary to do initial setup language, Google account etc. A few screenshots:

There is a lot in the system interesting settings, for example - setting the vibration response time of the touch keyboard.
Thank you.

I completely forgot, I learned this myself

Smartphones and tablets are analogues, or, more precisely, “younger brothers” desktop computers, since their functioning is also ensured by the operating system. Most gadgets are created on the Android platform.

Many people are not satisfied with the standard HTC firmware Desire 310 and they still decide to replace it

HTC Desire 310 is one of these modern devices that is popular, but sometimes causes a crash that simply cannot be fixed with a banal reset. To restore the functionality of your smartphone, you need to study the instructions on how to flash HTC Desire 310.

If the smartphone suddenly begins to refuse to perform certain actions and constantly freezes, the owner can only tolerate it for a couple of days. However, after several days this incorrect operation patience runs out and a decision is made to implement full reset settings.

It’s great if such a step is successful, if after this the smartphone “comes to life” and again surprises with its fast work. Unfortunately, not everyone can be so lucky, so you have to subject your device to more serious manipulations.

It will be possible to flash HTC Desire 310 only after high-quality preparation, which consists of first downloading the firmware file itself, as well as reading the instructions on how to do it all.

Algorithm of actions

To flashing HTC Desire 310 was not accompanied by problems, it ended with absolute success, you should prepare for it. Those who already have experience updating or installing an operating system on a smartphone clearly state that this is a very responsible matter that absolutely cannot be left to chance.

If the decision has been made and no one can stop you from trying to flash the HTC Desire 310 yourself, it is important to take several simple but important actions that directly affect the quality of flashing the smartphone.

First of all, make sure that the device is fully charged. You should not rely on chance and start the flashing process when the battery charge is other than 100%. Even if the battery can hold a charge for a long time, still charge your smartphone.

Otherwise, you will then reproach yourself if the smartphone turns off and the process is not yet completed. The reason for frustration will be quite serious, since not only the operating system will not be able to install, but all data from the smartphone will disappear without a trace.

By the way, flashing the firmware of a dead device is possible, but it is already associated with some difficulties.

It is useful to find out what OS version is already installed on your smartphone before starting the firmware. This is easy to do if you go to “Settings” and go to the “About phone” submenu. It is there that information is contained indicating specific Android versions and kernels, build number, by which it is easy to identify the operating system.

And the last important step preparatory work is downloading required firmware, which is suitable for your smartphone or tablet model. Experts and experienced users strongly recommend downloading such files only from sources that you can completely trust.

About custom firmware

The firmware is contained in a zip archive and has a name consisting of Latin letters and numbers. It is moved to the memory card.

Now disconnect the smartphone from the computer and from the charger, turn off the device and launch system recovery mode. If you know absolutely nothing about where this mode is located and how to launch it, you need to worry about this in advance and find the answer on the forums or in the instructions for the gadget.

After this, you must definitely erase all information about the previous operating system; the “Wipe” parameter will help with this. After everything is completely deleted, feel free to return to the main menu and look for the “Flash Zip from SD Card” option. Its name may be slightly different, but it must contain something resembling a zip archive.

Now open the pre-downloaded ROM file saved on the memory card, run it and follow the instructions that will appear on the smartphone screen.

When finished, be sure to reboot your device using the familiar “Reboot system now” option.

Using three-file firmware

If you really don’t want to get involved with the opening Root access, you can take advantage of another offer by downloading the three-file firmware in advance to HTC smartphone. The Mobile Odin Pro application will help you install it on your gadget.

First, create a folder, put three previously downloaded files in it, in the formats CSC, CODE, Modem.

Now launch the Mobile Odin Pro application, first open “CODE” in it, after confirming your actions by clicking “Ok”, open the following file “Modem”. Confirm “Ok” again.

All that remains is to start the process itself by clicking on the “Flash Firmware” option. The duration of the firmware may vary, but in most cases it is about ten minutes.

Once the process is complete, be sure to reboot your device for all changes to take effect.

Using a TAR archive

The Mobile Odin Pro application also helps you install new version operating system on a smartphone in cases where the firmware file is enclosed in a TAR archive.

The principle of working with the application is identical, as in the case of working with three-fold firmware. Initially, the TAR archive is opened, and then “Flash Firmware” is launched.

The duration of the firmware is also about ten minutes, but in some cases it can be slightly increased.

So, you can flash your favorite smartphone yourself, which has become capricious and refuses to do what the owner requests. It is enough to find the appropriate firmware and make sure it is correct.

This is especially important for those who have Chinese Android, which, unfortunately, will not accept any firmware. You'll have to work a little to get a version adapted for such Chinese gadgets.

Instructions

Before flashing, download latest version software available for HTC Sensation. To download, you can use resources dedicated to working with software For this phone. After downloading a suitable archive with firmware, unpack it using an archiver program into separate folder on the computer.

Download the Android SDK from the official Android website. Install the resulting software package using the installer. If you don't have it installed on your computer HTC program Sync, install it, because... along with it comes a package of all necessary drivers for flashing.

Put your phone into Fastboot mode. To do this, turn off your HTC, then remove the battery and reinsert it into the device. Turn on your smartphone by simultaneously holding down the power button and the side volume down key. Wait for the boot options selection menu to appear. From the options offered, select Fastboot using the volume buttons. Confirm your choice by clicking on top button nutrition.

Connect your smartphone to your computer and wait for it to unpack necessary drivers. Run the adb.exe program, which you can find in the folder with the program for Android control(“Start” - “Computer” - “ Local disk C:" - Program Files – Android – SDK – WindowsPlatform – Tools – ADB). Adb.exe must be launched by right-clicking on the file and selecting “Run in command line”.

Type fastboot oem get_identifier_token and press Enter. Copy the key obtained as a result of the operation on the official HTC website in the device unlocking section, to access which you will need to go through the registration procedure by filling out the required fields. After moving to Step 10, paste the copied code from the command line into the appropriate section and click Submit.

Your phone will receive an unlock code in the unlock_code.bin format. Download this file and place it in the same directory where adb.exe is located. At the command prompt, enter fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin. If the operation was performed correctly, you will see a corresponding message on the screen of your device. Select Yes.

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
fastboot reboot

After entering these commands, the device will reboot and new firmware will be installed on the device.

The HTC Desire communicator has appeared in the vastness of Russia. And along with it, many different firmwares appeared, both native and alternative. “Grey” devices that are tied to some operator also began to be imported into the country. Due to this firmwareHTCHTCDesire raises many questions for many.

I would like to note right away that if we compare the procedure associated with one or another device on WinMo, in our case there are significant differences. And they start with the fact that we are dealing with a device built on Google Android.

So let's get started. If you have a device that is fully certified for Russia, then you have two options. Flash using Wi-Fi, through the “Phone Settings” menu, then “About Phone”, then “Update Phone”. The device will connect to the update server and download the firmware. The main thing that WiFi connection was free. Or you can download the corresponding one from the company’s website executable file, run it on a computer under Windows control and follow the instructions completely. There are no problems here, everything is the same as the procedures standard firmware WinMo. But if you need to flash non-standard firmware?! You need to do the following.

Custom HTC Desire firmware - instructions

In order to firmwareHTCHTCDesire started, you need to determine the bootloader version. For this purpose, press two buttons simultaneously: “Back” and “Shutdown”, the screen appears boot menu, in which in the second line we are interested in information of the form: HBOOT - 0.xx.0000, where xx is the bootloader version. For version 0.75 you need to download this kit, and for version 0.80 you need to download this one.

Then we begin the process itself. We write the file “update.zip” to the flash card. We'll also add the firmware there. We also unpack the required kit there, depending on the bootloader version. Launch the console in this folder. Turn off the communicator and turn it on Fastboot mode(to do this, press “Back” and “Shutdown”). You will see the words FastBoot enclosed in a red square. Connecting USB cord to the communicator. In the terminal, depending on the system, enter: for Windows step1-windows.bat, for MAC - ./step1-mac.sh, for Linux - ./step1-linux.sh.

An error message appears, do not pay attention. We are waiting for the first step to complete.

As soon as this happens, we transfer V Recovery mode. To do this, go to BootLoader, and from there to Recovery. For this purpose we use “Up”, “Down” and “Off”. Press “+Volume” and “Power” and go to the blue Recovery mode. In this menu, select the Apply sdcard: update.zip item and go to a new window. By the way, now the USB cable can be disconnected. Click on Wipe Data and confirm the deletion of data. When finished, select install.zip from SDCard and indicate our zip file. Confirm by pressing the trackball. FirmwareHTCHTCDesire has begun. When finished, reboot the device.

For those who want to make a copy of the data, you need to select the nandroid - backup item before deleting the data, and then select restore - nandroid before the final reboot.

As you can see, if desired this procedure available to anyone. But still, if you are not confident in your abilities, I would not recommend carrying out this procedure yourself, but contacting specialists.

And in conclusion I would like to note that, firmwareHTCHTCDesire carried out in this way will allow you to install any update, firmware, radio module, etc. on the device.
