nope...
this is no flashable zip.
Just push it with adb or copy with a root-file-manager on your phone to /data/local

push it through cmd?

awsome bootanimation!

Problem. I have a rooted Desire with Defrost ROM. When I go with astro file manager to \data there is nothing in this directory. I can not create a folder local or copy the bootanimation.zip to it

This is because /data is not mounted...
You have to go to recovery mode to mount & push.
You can also try the PC-Suite in my signature, which will do this all automatic

Oke, choose backup rom from Rom Manager. It rebooted my phone, did a backup for:
Backing up boot,
Backing up recovery
Backing up system
Backing up data (took some time )
Backing up .android_secure
Backing up cache
Backing up sd-ext
Generating md5 sum
Reboot my phone. So now I have a nandroid backup from which I can always recover right?

now search for HTC sync and dowload and install it on your pc ( if you haven't got it yet)
there are the drivers you need.
Then download my suite and extract it. download this bootanimatio, rename it to bootanimation.zip and place it in /data/bootanimation in my suite.
Now start the suite and follow the instructions

Help me to recover my IMEI (nv_data.bin)

I tried to delete nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 in order to recover original version from .nv_data.bak and .nv_data.bak.md5 after reboot but failed.
Firstly I remounted efs partition with -w flag:
Code:
mount -w -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /efs
First file've been deleted but for second message 'read-only system' shows up. And when i unmount and then mount again first file appears again.
I tried to do these from terminal emulator, adb shell from booted phone and in recovery mode (with CF4 installed).
My firmware version XWKE7. I bought phone as sim free at clove.co.uk
Can anyone suggest what can i do?

From what I have read from the SGS forum if your efs folder is missing your imei your stuck, only thing to do is flash some stock FW from odin and return it, hope you can return it under warranty mate.

You could try the backup and restore efs post from dev section if you have not already .

Efs folder is not empty.
Use root explorer or file explorer with mount option and do the following:
open file "factorymode" in efs/factoryApp directory, it probabely says "off", change to "on" (yes "on" is the correct setting to turn it off), then save
reboot

and i think that power menu is gone also...
go to efs/imei folder, and make a file called "keystr" (without " ") (it is probably missing)
open "keystr" file and write "on" (without " " ),save. set permission of the file (all ticked).
But unfortunately, i think that your efs partition is corrupted. You must make a backup for this partition after rooting.

I managed to get the yellow text away by uninstalling the factorytest apk.
I have tried to install stock firmware trough odin no luck there to. How can I make a backup for this partition?

Now my mobile network works to, I managed to fix it by turning my simcard lock of. The only problem that is left now is the lockscreen and powermenu. I can use the keystr solution and it works but every time I reboot my phone the /efs folder gets empty. Please help me im so confused

I got it to work! I followed all the steps and when i was done I edited the keystr file in hex editor so the values was 4f and 4e and all others 00. This solution worked but its not permanent, each time I reboot the phone I have to do the same thing again, is there any permanent solution?

Yeah I have followed your advice but the only way to disable the yellow window is to freeze/uninstall it :/ The permissions are all ticked (0777). Even after a reboot. Tried the solution from post 2 and 6 ...
This wouldnt be so bad but the power menue and the lockscreen are more important. I hope someone can help

[GUIDE] VM HTC Desire 816 Root How-to

Hello everyone, I recently purchased the Desire 816 for Virgin Mobile, and could not find anything on rooting this device.
So... I figured it out on my own! I decided to write out a tutorial since there isn't anything out there about rooting this phone!
I'm also including a nandroid backup of my stock rooted rom if you don't want to go through all of the steps. You will still need custom recovery.
1. Unlock your bootloader, install custom recovery, and flash superuser. I used v_superuser's guide for this, so thanks to him!
Use his guide to install custom recovery and root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
The custom recovery he links to isn't made for the VM variant of this phone, but it works!
Now you can restore my clean install, rooted nandroid backup (link at end of post) if you don't want to do the following steps and still have full root.
2. Hopefully you were able to successfully install custom recovery and root.
Now this part is a bit tricky. Even with root HTC is stopping us from writing to system. For this we need to apply the wp_mod.ko module.
Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2707378
Copy this file to the root of your internal storage.
Now download Terminal Emulator from play store, run it and enter the following commands (you only need to do this once):
su
insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko
Once you do this go into your favorite root explorer and mount as R/W. Copy the wp_mod.ko file to /system/lib/modules
Now go to /system/etc and find install-recovery.sh. Open it with a text editor and add a new line at the end with the following:
insmod /system/lib/modules/wp_mod.ko
Reboot! If all went well the wp_mod module will run at boot every time so you won't have to do it manually each time!
Congratulations, you now have a fully rooted Desire 816!
Download my nandroid backup here (place the contained folder into the CWM backup directory):
https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B0bhyG2E55hXaWtpeGVQaEpOVzA&export=download
Hope this helped anyone wondering how to root the device!

I'm not trying to offend with my answer. Just going for the easiest solution first...
Did you unzip the backup nandroid onto your PC? I imagine he zipped the actual Nandroid folder as it would have a date and time as the name.
If you unzip VM_HTC_Desire_816_Rooted_NandroidBackup.zip you SHOULD see a folder with a date and time. That is the actual nandroid that you'd copy to your Clockwordmod backup folder.

Also...
The act of unlocking the phone clears out your data so you might notice that your flashlight and calculator apps are missing. For some reason HTC didn't make those 2 system apps.
If you'd like them back, here you go.

everything works until I get to the wp_mod.ko command when using the terminal command. It just says cannot open. I tried countless times but it says the same thing. Is there any other way?

If you're having too much trouble and are about to give up you can always download Kontrary's Nandroid backup. I didn't use it but I did look through it and it looks like he already did the write protect mod in it.
Just unzip it on your PC and put the dated folder in your clockworkmod/backup folder. Boot into CWM recovery and restore from his nandroid.
Out of curiosity... Are you hitting enter after SU and before insmod???
Also...
The command insmod /sdcard/wp_mod.ko is only good if you have wp_mod.ko sitting on the root of the internal sd. If its on your micro sd card you'll obviously have to change the path after insmod or just move it to the internal sd..

thanks

Have you plugged it in while in Fastboot? Which OS are you running? I'm on Win 7 x64 and have it set to download drivers from Windows update, I didn't have any problems going that route.

Have you downloaded HTC Sync Manager? It has the drivers required for your PC to recognize your phone.

I installed your CWM Backup after I couldn't figure out your steps... but now there's an ANNOYING notification that says, "Smith disabled... Click here to open." I open it, and no matter what settings I choose, this notification keeps POPPING UP! Is this your doing, or a known issue with this "Mod." All I wanted to do was uninstall all the Google/VM Bloatware. Now going back to stock might be the only fix... ????

That Smith app is a problem for most recent HTC phones. It has nothing to do with the CWM backup. It happens with the M8 and our 816.
I just long press the notification, click App Info and force close. It's usually good until you reboot your phone.
Either HTC or Sprint is supposed to be looking for a fix but who knows.

I was able to stop this annoyance by simply going to Titanium Backup (root needed) and freezing the process.
I typed in Smith in the search bar of TB and it came back with this process/app called
"Smith 4.21-plat_4.4.2-KOT49H"
I believe it happens to come up when a specific "bloatware" app is unaccessible by the device when removed but I have not singled out which app is it so far.
I backed up the app first then froze it and it stopped the Smith popup error permanently even after reboots and power offs.
(You could possibly delete it but until the stock bloatware app that causes this pinpointed i wouldn't recommend it.)
Tested running everything is good no errors rebooted fine checked bootloader and recovery and both are fine as well.
