Method 3: Fastboot

As a way of flashing the skin partition of the memory of the HTC Desire 516, it can be done too foldable or else, you can speed up one of the Fastboot commands, as it allows you to record the main part of the system without any fluctuations.

We check the correctness of the smartphone and PC. We send the command to the command row:
fastboot devices

Serial number 0123456789ABCDEF and write fastboot.

In order to save pardons during the coming years, it is necessary to tell Fastboot the distribution of images by entering the command: set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=c: directory_name_c_fastboot

For the firmware, enter the command: fastboot flashall. Onslaught "Enter" and watch out for the process of vikonannya.

Upon completion of the procedure, divisions will be rewritten Boot, Recovery і system, and the device will automatically reboot into Android.

Copy the required image(s) to the Fastboot directory (1) and issue the command(s) (2):
fastboot flash modem modem.img

Upon completion of the robot, restart HTC Desire 516 from the command line: fastboot reboot

Method 4: custom firmware

The HTC Desire 516 model did not know wide popularity due to its hardware and software features, so we can’t talk about the fact that the device has no modification firmware, unfortunately.

One of the ways to transform and refresh the device in the software plan is to install the Android shell, modified by one of the devices, which took the name Lolifox. Zavantazhit all necessary files, yakі znadoblyaetsya when vykonannі krokіv nizhchevikladenіy іnstruktsії, you can ask below.

In the proposed solution, the author proved a serious robot in terms of changing the OS interface (looks like Android 5.0), deodexed the firmware by viewing the add-ons in HTC and Google, and also adding an item to the settings that allows you to manage auto-uploads of add-ons. In general, custom works fast and stable.

Installing custom recovery.

For installation of a modified OS, you need the possibility of custom recovery. we will win, if you want to use the device, including the port, you can take advantage of it. In general, the installation in the D516 and the robot with different custom recovery is similar.

Installing custom Lolifox

Since the modified recovery is installed in HTC Desire 516, the installation of custom software does not seem to be complicated. Dosit vikonaty kroki іnstruktsії z lesson according to the order below, how to transfer the installation of zip-packages.

Method 5: Renovation of an unsaleable HTC Desire 516

During the operation and firmware of any Android device, it may become unacceptable - as a result of various failures and pardons, attachments hang at the first stage, stop turning on, invariably restart, etc. Among users, the device in this state was called "brick". The way out of the situation may be the following.

The methodology for restoring ("scratching") HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim involves performing quite a large number actions and use of several tools. Carefully follow the instructions below step by step.

Switching the smartphone to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008" mode

Download and unpack the archive with all the necessary files and recovery tools.
As a result of unpacking, you should get the following:

To restore, you need to transfer the smartphone to a special emergency mode QDLoader 9006. Remove the cover that covers the battery.
We remove the battery, SIM cards and memory card. Then we unscrew 11 screws:

Carefully remove the part of the case that covers the motherboard of the device.

On the motherboard find two contacts marked "GND" and "DP". Subsequently, they will need to be bridged before connecting the device to the PC.

Install the QPST software package from the folder of the same name, obtained as a result of unpacking the archive from the link above.

Go to the directory with QPST (C: Program FilesQualcommQPSTbin) and run the file QPSTConfig.exe

We open "Device Manager", we are preparing a cable connected to the USB port of the PC. Closing contacts "GND" and "DP" on the D516 motherboard and, without opening them, insert the cable into the MicroUSB connector of the phone.

Remove the jumper and look out the window "Device Manager". If everything is done correctly, the device will be defined as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008".

Go to QPSTConfig and make sure that the device is defined correctly, as in the screenshot below. Do not close QPSTConfig!

Reopen the folder with QPST files and run the file emmcswdownload.exe on behalf of the Administrator.

Add files to the fields of the opened window:

We press the buttons and indicate to the program the location of the files:

We check the correctness of filling in all the fields (should be, as in the screenshot below) and click Download .

As a result of the operation, HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim will be transferred to a mode that is suitable for writing a dump to memory. In the Device Manager, the device should be defined as . If, after manipulations through QPST, the device was determined somehow differently, manually install the drivers from the folder "Qualcomm_USB_Drivers_Windows" .

dodatkovo

In the event that errors occur during the operation of QPST and the smartphone switches to the "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics9006" cannot be done, we try to perform this manipulation through the MiFlash program. You can download the flash driver version suitable for manipulations with HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim, as well as the necessary files, from the link:

Unpack the archive and install MiFlash.

We follow steps 8-9 described above in the instructions, that is, we connect the device to the computer in the state when it is defined in the Device Manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008" .

Launch MiFlash.

We press the button Browse in the program and specify the path to the directory "files_for_miflash", located in the folder obtained as a result of unpacking the archive downloaded from the link above.

Click Refresh, which will lead to the definition of the device by the program.

Calling the list of button options Browse by clicking on the image of the triangle next to the last

and selecting from the menu that opens "Advanced..." .

In the window "Advanced" using buttons Browse add files from the folder to the fields "files_for_miflash" in the following way:
After all files are added, click "OK" .

Next, you need to be careful. Making the window visible "Device Manager" .
We press the button Flash in the flasher and watch the COM ports section in "Dispatcher" .

Immediately after the moment when the smartphone is defined as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics9006", exit MiFlash without waiting for the end of manipulations in the program, and proceed to the next stage of restoring HTC Desire 516.

File system recovery

Thus, having studied the ways to install the system software in HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim, the user gets full control above the device and can quite simply restore the device’s performance if necessary, as well as give the smartphone a “second life” using customization.

HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim is a smartphone that, like many other Android devices, can be flashed in several ways. Reinstalling system software is a necessity that is not so rare for the owners of the model in question. Such manipulations allow, if performed correctly and successfully, to some extent “refresh” the device in terms of software, as well as restore the performance lost as a result of failures and errors.

The success of flashing procedures is predetermined by the correct preparation of tools and files that will be needed in the process of work, as well as the precise implementation of instructions. Also, don't forget the following:

Responsibility for the result of manipulations with the device lies solely with the user who conducts them. All the actions described below are performed by the owner of the smartphone at your own peril and risk!

Preparatory procedures that precede the direct process of transferring files to device partitions can take quite a long time, but it is highly recommended that they be completed in advance. Especially in the case of the HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim, the model quite often creates problems for its users in the process of manipulating the system software.

Drivers

Installing drivers for pairing the device and software tools for firmware is usually not difficult. You just need to follow the instructions for Qualcomm-devices from the article:

Just in case, archive with drivers for manual installation always available for download at the link:

backup

In view of the possible need to restore the smartphone software, as well as the mandatory deletion of user data from the device during the software installation process, you need to save all the valuable information contained in the phone’s memory in a safe place. And it is also highly recommended to create a backup of all partitions using ADB Run. Instructions can be found in the material at the link:

Since several methods of installing software are applicable to the device in question, which differ quite significantly from each other, links to download the necessary programs and files will be posted in the description of the methods. Before proceeding to the direct execution of the instructions, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with all the steps that you will have to perform, as well as download all the necessary files.

Firmware

Depending on the state of the device, as well as the goals that the user who performs the firmware sets for himself, the method of carrying out the procedure is selected. The methods described below are in order from simple to more complex.

Method 1: MicroSD + Factory Recovery Environment

The first method by which you can try to install Android on HTC Desire 516 is to use the capabilities of the "native" recovery environment (recovery) provided by the manufacturer. This method is considered official, which means it is relatively safe and easy to implement. You can download the software package for installation according to the instructions below using the link:

As a result of the following steps, we get a smartphone with installed official firmware, intended for the European region version.

There is no Russian language in the package! Russification of the interface will be discussed in an additional step of the instruction below.

Optional: Russification

To Russify the European version of the OS, you can use the Morelocale 2 Android application. The program is available on Google Play.

Method 2: ADB Run

The result of following the instructions below will be a smartphone with the official firmware version 1.10.708.001 (the last existing for the model) containing the Russian language. You can download the archive with the firmware from the link:

Download and unpack the archive with the firmware.

The folder obtained as a result of unpacking contains a multi-volume archive containing the most important image for installation - System. It also needs to be extracted to the directory with the rest of the image files.

Install adb run.

Open the directory with ADB Run in Explorer, which is located along the path C: / adb , and then go to the folder "img".

Copying files boot.img, system.img, recovery.img, obtained as a result of unpacking the firmware, into folders with the corresponding names contained in the C:/adb/img/ directory (that is, the file boot.img- to the folder C:\adb\img\boot and so on).

Writing the above three image files to the appropriate sections of the HTC Desire 516 flash memory can be considered a complete installation of the system. In the usual case, it is not necessary to install the rest of the image files, but if there is such a need, we copy them to the C:\adb\img\all folder.

Turn on USB debugging and connect the device to the PC.

Run Adb Run and reboot the device with it into the mode fastboot. To do this, first select item 4 Reboot Devices in the main menu of the application,

and then enter the number 3 from the keyboard - point Reboot Bootloader. Click "Enter".

The smartphone will reboot into the state Download, what does the boot screen saver frozen on the screen say HTC on white background.

In ADB Run, press any key, and then return to the main menu of the program - item "10 - Back to Menu".

Choose "5-Fastboot".
The next window is a menu for selecting a memory section into which the image file will be transferred from the corresponding folder in the C:\adb\img directory.
Optional but recommended procedure. We clean up the partitions that we are going to record, as well as the partition data. Choose "e - Clear Partitions (erase)".

And then, one by one, we go to the items corresponding to the names of the sections:

modem and Splash1 DO NOT wash!
We return to the image selection menu and record sections.

In a similar way to the previous step of the instruction, we transfer the image files Recovery

and System to the memory of HTC Desire 516.

Image System in fact, it is the Android OS, which is installed in the device in question. This section is the largest in volume and therefore its overwriting takes a long time. The process must not be interrupted!

If there is a need to flash the remaining partitions and the corresponding image files are copied to the C:\adb\img\all directory, to install them, select "1 - Firmware All Partitions" in the selection menu fastboot menu.

And wait for the process to complete.

At the end of the recording of the last image, select in the request screen "Reboot device normal Mode (N)" by entering from the keyboard "N" and pressing "Enter".

This will lead to a reboot of the smartphone, a long start, and as a result, the appearance of a screen initial setup HTC Desire 516.

Method 3: Fastboot

If the method of flashing each section of the HTC Desire 516 memory separately seems too complicated or time consuming, you can use one of the Fastboot commands, which allows you to record the main part of the system without, in some cases, unnecessary actions on the part of the user.

We check the correctness of pairing the smartphone and PC. In the command line we send the command:
fastboot devices

The response of the system should be serial number 0123456789ABCDEF and inscription fastboot.

To avoid errors when performing the following steps, we indicate to Fastboot the location of the images by entering the command: set ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT=c:\catalog_name_with_fastboot

To start the firmware, enter the command: fastboot flashall. Click "Enter" and observe the execution process.

At the end of the procedure, partitions will be overwritten Boot, Recovery and System, and the device will reboot into Android automatically.

If it becomes necessary to overwrite other sections of the HTC Desire 516 memory in this way, we place the necessary image files in the folder with fastboot, and then use the commands of the following syntax:

fastboot flash partition_name image_filename.img

For example, let's write a section modem. By the way, for the device in question, writing the “modem” section is a procedure that may be needed after restoring the smartphone from a non-working state, if as a result the smartphone works as it should, but there is no connection.

Copy the desired image(s) to the directory with Fastboot (1) and send the command(s) (2):
fastboot flash modem modem.img

When finished, restart HTC Desire 516 from command line: fastboot reboot

Method 4: Custom Firmware

The HTC Desire 516 model has not gained wide popularity due to its hardware and software features, so, unfortunately, it is impossible to say that the device has a lot of modified firmware.

One of the ways to convert and refresh the device in question programmatically is to install an Android shell modified by one of the users of the device, called Lolifox. You can download all the necessary files that you will need when completing the steps of the instructions below, using the links below.

In the proposed solution, its author did a lot of work in terms of changing the OS interface (it looks like Android 5.0), deodexing the firmware, removing unnecessary applications from HTC and Google, and also adding an item to the settings that allows you to manage application startup. In general, custom works quickly and stably.

Installing custom recovery.

To install a modified OS, you will need the capabilities of custom recovery. We will use ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM), although there is a TWRP port for the device, which you can download. In general, installation in D516 and work with different custom recovery are similar.

Installing custom Lolifox

After the modified recovery is installed on HTC Desire 516, installing custom software is not difficult. It is enough to follow the steps of the instruction from the lesson at the link below, which involves installing zip packages.

Let us dwell only on a few points recommended for implementation for the model under consideration.

Method 5: Restoring inoperable HTC Desire 516

During the operation and firmware of any Android device, a nuisance can happen - as a result of various failures and errors, the device freezes at a certain stage, stops turning on, reboots endlessly, etc. Among users, the device in this state was called "brick". The way out of the situation may be the following.

The methodology for restoring ("scratching") HTC Desire 516 Dual Sim involves performing a fairly large number of actions and using several tools. Carefully follow the instructions below step by step.

Switching the smartphone to "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008" mode

Download and unpack the archive with all the necessary files and recovery tools.
As a result of unpacking, you should get the following:

To restore, you need to transfer the smartphone to a special emergency mode QDLoader 9006. Remove the cover that covers the battery.
We remove the battery, SIM cards and memory card. Then we unscrew 11 screws:

Carefully remove the part of the case that covers the motherboard of the device.

On the motherboard we find two pins marked "GND" and "DP". Subsequently, they will need to be bridged before connecting the device to the PC.

Install the QPST software package from the folder of the same name, obtained as a result of unpacking the archive from the link above.

Go to the directory with QPST (C:\Program Files\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\) and run the file QPSTConfig.exe

We open "Device Manager", we are preparing a cable connected to the USB port of the PC. Closing contacts "GND" and "DP" on the D516 motherboard and, without opening them, insert the cable into the MicroUSB connector of the phone.

Remove the jumper and look out the window "Device Manager". If everything is done correctly, the device will be defined as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader9008".

Go to QPSTConfig and make sure that the device is defined correctly, as in the screenshot below. Do not close QPSTConfig!

Reopen the folder with QPST files and run the file emmcswdownload.exe on behalf of the Administrator.

Add files to the fields of the opened window:
