Root HTC Desire 310 USB Drivers Windows 7,8+ Root Guide

[Flav_ius]

- Connect your HTC as a Media Device (MTP)
- Now as you can see..the device is installed properly..

- but if we run "adb devices", we cannot see it in the list

- It happens also if we enable USB debugging

- And we still cannot see it typing "adb devices"
- so we have problem with drivers..

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, I extracted the drivers from Android Sync..
Android-Sync | Sync Android with Outlook via USB
These are Samsung Drivers..don't ask why, at least work

Just open Device Manager - select Android USB Device - Update Driver Software - Browse and choose the Directory

Now they are installed

And now we have only to check the device using adb..so type in cmd
adb devices

- Link Download

*** Same Drivers work on Windows 8 64bit, If someone have tested it on 32bit versions, just leave a reply ***

Just download RootGeniuns from
ROOT Genius - Android Oneclick Root Tool
The host is in China, maybe the download is slow..if you prefer,here is the
1.8.7 EN version uploaded on mega

- Run the exe (as an Admin rights)
- Connect the Device with USB Debugging On
- Wait for installing drivers then click ROOT
- It will install an app KingUser (it's like SuperUser)
- To check the granted rights, you can install Root Checker Basic on Google Store
Here's the screen

** Highly recommended to do not install any clockworkmod (cwm) through mtk droid tools or whatever, HTC desire 310 it's not supported yet and you could BRICK your phone... **

Good alternative root guide.
I suggest a mod moves it to "All things root" section and add a link to it in this thread.
