Unlocking and Rooting HTC Explorer (Pico)
Follow this guide to root your htc pico.
1.Install HTC Sync on your PC(Not needed on Mac and Linux)
Download HTC sync from www.htc.com/www/help/htc-explorer/#download
PS: If you dont want to download htc sync, download drivers from http://binary100100.googlecode.com/files/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (Link by Hasoon2000 (XDA) ]
2. Unlock your phone's bootloader-THIS VOIDS YOUR DEVICE WARRANTY!!
- Follow the steps in www.htcdev.com/bootloader after settings up ADB
Note: HTC Explorer isn´t listed as a working device yet but it has been tested and works perfectly. Choose "all other supported models" when selecting device.
3. Add a recovery
That will allow you to install .zip ROMs. You can access to it in the menu android phones have when booting the phone after removing-inserting the battery and pressing "volume down" and "power" buttons simultaneously. (Other phones have different button combinations).
- Download A310E Recovery.zip- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=913094&d=1329843100
- extract it in any window on your PC (ie: C:\HTC)
- run the recovery.bat with phone in fastboot mode (first option in the "3 android menu" ) and connected with usb.
-
4. ROOT the device
- Place this Superuser.zip( http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=832400&d=1325076959 ) file somewhere in your microSD first.
- Go into Recovery mode ("volume down" + "power")
- install Superuser.zip with the option "install .zip from sd" from the recovery menu.
''''''''''''''''''''::::::::::NOW YOUR DEVICE IS ROOTED::::::::::''''''''''''''''''''
Note: after rooting dont restore to factory setting if you don´t want to end up in a bootloop, if this or similar happens the only solution yet (fully functional) is installing this Asian rom( https://rapidshare.com/files/248493406/pico_ax918_11161_anzhi.zip ) or any Custom rom . Make a backup first and wipe cache and rom partition with the option in the recovery menu.
Done!!
