Using any file manager, goto System folder and edit the build.prop file.
Change ro.product.manufacturer to Baidu. Save the changes and reboot.
That should work.

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.

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.

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.

Hi everyone. As I found out there's root for the G4 but doing this isn't easy especially if your variant is hard to find or has less users. This may result in you waiting for longer than you should. This thread is for those who can take things into their own hands and do it themselves. The tools are available everywhere but I'll give you the best order and steps. I'm using the China LG G4 H818 Dual SIM variant but this method is UNIVERSAL FOR ALL LG G4s.
The process will involve extracting a system image, injecting root and reflashing this image. Most of the steps are effortless and need just copy and paste with keen eyes. Do it slowly. You need an Ubuntu installation for step 2 of this 3-step tutorial. I used universal USB installer and put in on my 8GB USB. Anywhere will do so far as it boots&works. Beware this thread is not dumb-proof but this will not wipe your data or void your warranty if done successfully.
Step 1 -> Getting the proper system image.
Check here and skip to step 3 if you have your rootedsystem.img
>Don't worry because this doesn't require searching. It is from your device. Every device has a system partition and this method will pull it out as an image without root required.
1--Make sure all drivers are installed properly. I'll not be talking about this. We're on XDA not kindergarten.
2--Download the LG_root file or send command file from here and extract it. US Carrier specific check here
3--Put your device in download mode and connect it to your PC.
4--Open(double-click duh) port.bat and make sure to write down the number after com. There maybe different com numbers but choose the com on the DIAG1 line and write down that number. This is important.
5--Hold shift and right-click in any empty space in the extracted folder. Choose open command windows here.
6-- In that copy and paste this
Code:
[FONT=Lucida Console][COLOR=#ff8c00]Send_Command.exe \\.\COM[/COLOR][COLOR=#00ff00][*insert your number here][/COLOR][/FONT]
7--Now you're in send command mode. Nothing looks different on your phone but that's ok. It should just remain in download mode.
8-- On the computer screen in the window you now see #.
9--Now in this post copy the Backup system to internal storage command specific to your device model number. Check in you settings >general >about if in doubt. This is the most important step. Copy the whole line of code. Highlight with your mouse, select everything on the line and copy.
10--You didn't come all this way to fail so do it. Remember it is device model specific.
11-- Paste it in the command window and hit enter. It should take a while so wait until you see#reappear.
12--Now typeLEAVEall in capital letters. Your device will reboot. Check using the file manager if you have a file called system.img in your internal storage. If yes step 2 is next and you did well. If no repeat it and follow the steps properly. Make sure drivers are installed especially windows 10/8/8.1 users. Check device manager
Step 2 -> Root injection.
1--Prepare your Ubuntu USB or virtual machine or computer.
2--Download inject_root zip from here and extract.
3--Copy the system.img from your phone to the extracted inject_root folder on your PC.
4-Reboot into Ubuntu.
5--Here open a terminal.
6--Gain root access on Ubuntu by typing or copy and paste sudo -i
7--You should either be asked for your password which you have to enter or if you used a USB drive like me you'll see the name change to[email protected]
8--Navigate to the inject_root folder by using cd commands. This can also be done by typing cd then [space] then dragging and dropping the folder into the terminal and hitting enter.
9--You'll now see the name in the terminal become longer with the name of the folder in it.
10--Now type chmod +x autoroot.sh
11--Hit enter then sudo ./autoroot.sh
12--If you get any thing like command not recognized or something of the sort use sudo sh autoroot.sh
-That worked for me.
13--If you're successful the name of the file should change from system.img torootedsystem.img
-Please note don't rename the files. Leave them as they are.
14--Now go back to Windows let's finish this.
Step 3 ->Root
1--Transfer the rootedsytem.img to your phones internal storage.
2--Put your phone in download mode and connect it to your PC.
3--Get into send command mode as in step one.
-Put your device in download mode and connect it to your PC.
-Open port.bat and make sure to write down the number after com. There maybe different com numbers but choose the one that has DIAG1 on the same line as it. Note it down this is important.
-Hold shift and right click in any empty space in the extracted folder. Choose open command windows here.
- In that copy and paste this
Send_Command.exe \\.\COM[*insert your number here]
-Now you're in send command mode. Nothing looks different on your phone but it's find. It should just remain in download mode.
4-Now grab your command to flash system.img line of code from this post. It isn't the same as step one. Copy that an paste in the command window. Make sure it is for your device. They are model specific.
5--This should take a while so wait until you see the # again.
6--After thatLEAVEand upon reboot you should have root.
To Un-root just flash a KDZ file compatible with your device here.

This is a good method, thanks for writing this up.
I would like to add a few points....
I recommend you do keep your original system.img on your phones regular internal storage. If you encounter any boot issues you can then re-enter download mode and write the original system.img over the top of the failed root attempt. Use the same command from "step 3: root" but replace rootedsystem.img with system.img. This should still be on your phone from step 1 and will recover your phone from a failed root injection attempt. Note that it will not recover your phone if you messed up the dd command and overwrote other partitons. Be sure to use the right dd command and cut n paste to prevent seek/offset typeos.
I also recommend that you keep a backup of your system.img on your pc. When you run autoroot.sh in step 2 the copy on your pc will be renamed and patched. I suggest copying system.img somewhere else first, or re-copy it off your phone.
Additional credits to blog.lvu.kr. This is the blog of the hobbyist who reverse engineered the download mode protocol, created send_command.exe and gave it to the world. Kudos to you.

Oh nice! I wasn't adventurous enough to try it. I'll make a system backup and give it a whirl!
Very nice thread, thank you. The steps were short, few, and fairly concise.
I was waiting for something like this where I could modify my own image and I wouldn't have to wipe everything or replace it with a new image.
One thing you might want to mention is that if your phone is encrypted, you'll need to unencrypt it first.
Can anyone link me to some instructions on how to disable OTA updates for an unlocked/international H815T?

This is what XDA is all about. It tells you how to inject root into your OWN system image. it's the opposite of spoon feeding. it's about teaching members how to do things for themselves. Too many people come here expecting to be spoon fed and have thigns done for them. This thread teaches people how to do their own work, while learning something at the same time.
Good work OP! :good:

Thanks. I guess people don't know what XDA is about. Seeing noobs and others trying to spit on hard work when I used my time and device as Guinea pig. Also people don't know this is almost brick-proof because the system image if from their devices. Unless they use wrong commands but all here is just copy and paste. They see lot's of text and get cold feet. Anyways will be updating the OP with system images. If yours is available please share. If you see your image available and you have drivers and LG_root downloaded proceed to step 3.
The only downside is that I have to drag out my windows laptop instead of doing everything on the ubuntu machine I use at work.
But if that's the biggest of my problems then I don't really have a problem
hi, thx for this tutorial, looks good
when flashing back the rooted img,does it wipe everything ? apps, data ... etc

I would also like to know this. You can resolve system by running the following. Note that this is for the H815T and is not the same on all variants.
# ls -lZ /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system
You'll get something like:
lrwxrwxrwx root root ubject_r:block_device:s0 system -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p47
Which tells you the actual block device (partition its on).
And you can see the size of that with:
# cat /proc/partitions
where you see:
major minor #blocks name
<snip>
259 15 4239360 mmcblk0p47

I know it's kind of going off topic, but I figured I'd mention that Flash Fire doesn't work on VS986. It just goes to a black screen and sits there forever. I left it sit for almost an hour. I saw elsewhere it has something to do with automount, I'll have to mess with it further.

Appreciated but you should include a way to unroot (undo) as well, ie how do we get back to stock (if required) ?
I've upgraded to lollipop 5.1.1
But the proplem was to root it
ALL I HAVE FOUND WAS
downgrade and build prerooted zip zip.. etc
But now you don't have to do that
So let's startBy rooting your device you will void warranty
1. do backup for your phone
IAM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE
2.download the the files we need... Links down
3.go to Setting>security>unknown sources .... And tick it
4. Setup king root and start it
You will notified that there is code in app trying to bypassing android security
Install it any way
5. When finish go to download folder and extract the second attachment to /sdcard/
6.download terminal emulator from here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
7. When install open it then get root permission
Code:
su
Then
Code:
sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh
And you will have root with supersu
If you want to keep kingroot
Skip from step 5
Hit thank if that help you

Last time I tried it only works on 5.0.2 unless kingroot updated and now you can do 5.1.1 too
Confirmed
Tested and worked for Xperia z1 lollipop 5.1.1 fw. 368
Worked for me.
First link was deleted by google. I tried with the kingroot apk from their site, but it didn't work with that.
EDIT: strange, it did work over Mobile data but not over WiFi. I am now considering you my personal God.

already root with pre-root zip but i wanna try this method, can you mirror kingroot file? because i cant access that file , thanks in advanced.
When I try to put in sh /sdcard/mrw/root.sh it says that the directory doesn't exist. I know it does though. Should I rename my sd card to sdcard? or is there something I'm missing?

Are you using the internal memory, or the external one? If you are using the external, and extracted the zip file there, you need to enter the path on sdcard1. So it's: sh /sdcard1/mrw/root.sh

yes but if you have any knowledge about rooting, its easy to get rid of and replace it with SuperSU

Ah ok. I read SD card as SD card. Didn't realize he meant internal. I ran it, and it kept coming up with errors that kingroot stopped working. Is that what it is supposed to do? Also now that i have SU on it ( I assume) what next? do I need a specific rom for these? IE I have a telus phone so should I look for a international rom or can I flash any? LOL I am fairly new at Root, and only flashed an HTC M8 but not really sure how to go about the z1. Also is it safe to uninstall kingroot? Sorry and thanks.

ADD FACE UNLOCK TO ANY ANDROID
NOTE:- I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE
So finally i have discovered a way to add face unlock to any android by using the Google Smart Lock feature...
This feature is available in most of the android devices:good:...
There are two methods of doing THIS 1. Using ROOT2. Without root(using adb)
LETS START
1. USING ROOT
-download gapps compatible with your android(gapps must be nano or above)
-install ''RAR'' to your phone
-extract gapps.zip to your phone[make a separate folder(optional)]
-open the extracted files and open GApps folder
-here you will find 4 files (1.facedetect-lib-arm.tar.lz, 2.faceunlock-all.tar.lz, 3.faceunlock-common.tar.lz, 4.faceunlock-lib-arm.tar.lz)
-open facedetect-lib-armcommonlib and copy libfilterpack_facedetect.so to systemlib and set the permissions
-similarlly copy all the files and if required create new folder with the permissions and paste the files from all the 4 files
-EX:- copy Face Lock folder to system/app and set permissions
-reboot your device
-open settings>security>smart lock... here you will find Trusted Face option
-ADD YOUR FACE ND ENJOY....!!!
NOTE:- Permissions details will be in second post...
2. Without root(using adb)
I will be updating the fourm later with full adb method details...
BUT, if you want to give it a try... then learn some adb commands for pushing files to system folder and setting up the commands...
Your would have to one by push the files and the folders and set the specific permissions...
***In the screenshot section, the first screenshot is of setting permissions for file and the second one is for setting permissions for folder***
NOTE:- I used es file explorer for doing this modification.
NOTE:- I tried this on a700fd on stock touchwiz android 6 rom... and it worked perfectly:laugh:
***If this helped you, please Press THANKS***
***For any query, REPLY***

Yes but i would recommend you to use the root method bcz in adb method you have to side load everything and then give specific permissions...

please i need adb method too can anyone help?
I have tried root method and is not working for me. I'm on Havoc OS Android AOSP 9.0 on a Xiaomi Mi Max 2 device.
Your guide isn't clear at all but I think that I made all the steps. When I reboot the phone, folder with files added in system/app are missing and of course the face unlock option at Smart Lock menu is not present. Seems that Android erase the files by itself, don't know why.
Thanks anyway.

maybe this is a newb response but if the files aren't in android 10 it shouldn't matter since this mod is putting the files there. So the files will be there. Maybe the dev that started this thread or someone with more experience can chime in here because thats exactly why im here. They removed the faceunlock framework from opengapps and i figure if they can remove it then it can be added back. I kinda feel like something will still be missing if you do this mod alone on android 10 though. I would like to know what exactly they removed from opengapps and then compare that with the files in this mod and maybe the 2 combined should get it working. Thats the line of thinking that im on. Sometimes it's that simple. I mean look at how many features can be turned on with flags and simple build.prop edits. I'm just not sure exactly how the face detect and faceunlock was removed and i need that little piece of information to grasp the scope of the problem a little better. Anybody Tried this on lineage 17 or any other android 10/q rom yet?:silly:

I don't want to root my device but I need face unlock in my Mi A2 device.
pixel experience （android Q） has this face lock feature, so I guess maybe we could extract from it
Welp, OpenGapps does not include the face unlock anymore so RIP :/
