Root HTC Deluxe Root

Hey gandelf, I have moved this thread into the All Things Root section.

I don't know the answer, but I am going to ask an HTC legend if he knows anything, and either he or I will get back to you. :)
 
yes,the delux is the butterfly. it comes in 3 basic flavors,other than the dna here in the us. the butterfly j,wich was used in KDDIs network in japan,and the x920d,and x920e. the J is similar to the DNA in that it is cdma/lte,but lacks the gsm radios the dna has. the other 2 are no lte,gsm regional differences.

id venture to guess the dna recovery would techincally work,but id prolly recomend against it. twrp and clockwork recoveries are listed in the butterfly original android development section over on xda.

if you have the butterfly j on hboot 1.39,you can use team unlimiteds dirty racun tool to s off. the others may be s-offed via a facepalm s-off,or possibly via revone recently released for the htc one,or possibly moonshine s off,recently released for the one and dna.

if youre not really interested in s off, you can do the standard htcdev unlock with the x920d and x920e. KDDI has kept the j off the official unlock list,much like verizon and the dna,so youll need to follow a guide to temp root and superCID before you can htcdev unlock.

you can follow the second post guide to htcdev unlock here: http://androidforums.com/droid-dna-all-things-root/652672-guide-unlock-droid-dna.html#post5240221 just make sure to use the recovery specifically for your device,and not the one linked for the dna.

roms seem to be modle specific.

hope that helps,just holler if you have other questions. :)

Thanks scott85, but I'm old school (55). I'm relatively new to android. I have a one month old HTC Deluxe (cellcom) android version 4.1.1. I would like to root it to cut the crap and set up lean and mean. But, I do not want to risk bricking it. So I nee a reliable (tested on this device) process to root my device. Or, I will wait. Thanks for your time.

im not familiar with cellcom,but since you are not on KDDI,we are to assume that you have an x920d or x920e,with wich htcdev unlock will work fine,and is perfectly safe and reliable.

just make sure you use the recovery image from this thread when following the guide i linked earlier

just holler if you have questions :)

I don't think it makes a difference actually, the unlock process should work the same for both.

thAT is corrcet. as long as you do not have vzw or KDDI's version,then the process is the same:
1)unlock bootloader
2)flash recovery
3)use recovery to flash superuser root files
 
Hey Guys, I recently got the HTC Dlx and was trying to figure out which phone's rooting procedure I should follow. Unlocking the bootloader was no problem. From reading the post above I decided against using dna tarp version and went with the 920e version. I flashed and tried to enter recovery and the screen blacked out. I thought I was screwed, but I was able to get back to the bootloader and reboot. So then I flashed the dna version of twrp and it worked perfectly. I was able to get su and busybox loaded. I guess what I'm getting at is, I think procedures for the dna should be followed when working on the deluxe.

what version do you have? from what i read,the 920d and 920e versions were different than the others,but ive no real experinece with this device. id like a 920d,but not many seem to have made it to the states and theyre still going for $500+ on ebay :mad:
 
I have the HTC DLX 6435 LRA, My software version is 2.03, where the verizon dna version was 2.04 and then 2.06. I've scowered the interweb trying to find info on the HTC DLX and its just not there. But for sure TWRP for DNA works on the DLX. :) I love this phone by the way,,, its so fast.
