Taking advantage of your Android device on full power without dealing with factory and default restrictions is something that any user is trying to achieve. However, due to the tweaking methods that are available, some of them are luckier than others. Well, if you own the HTC Desire C, the fun can begin as you can now learn how to install TWRP recovery and how to root your device. Therefore, if you do want to complete one of these procedures, or maybe both, don’t hesitate and check the guidelines from below.
Dear Desire C A320e user, CM12 [Alpha 1] needs rooted A320e, so it is necessary to root HTC Desire C A320e. The other crucial thing is CWM recovery installation on Desire C A320e before installing CM12 [Alpha 1]. You can do all these tasks after unlocking Desire C A320e bootloader.
TWRP recovery represents a custom recovery image that can run on your Desire C. This software will replace the stock recovery which runs by default on your device and will ensure a proper “virtual path” or “virtual link” towards your phone’s internal system. With such a software installed you will be able to tweak your smartphone in order to optimize, customize and power up its general performances. That’s why, after flashing TWRP recovery you will be able to speed up your HTC Desire C.
But that’s not the only thing you can do through the recovery environment. Once this process is achieved, you can also root your device (and the root process is also explained during the guidelines from below), remove bloatware from its system, add a custom kernel, flash a custom ROM firmware like CyanogenMod, AOKP or Paranoid Android, make a Nandroid backup for saving the current Android OS, overclock or undervolt the CPU frequencies for bumping speeds or for upgrading the battery life and so on.

The best is that using TWRP recovery is one of the easiest things that you can do on your HTC Desire C. The software is coming with a touch based interface that is also pre loaded with various in built settings which can easily guide you through the tweaking procedure that you want to complete.
But, unleashing the full potential of your Desire C comes only after ensuring root access. As mentioned, this process can be applied only after flashing the TWRP recovery image as the root exploit comes in form of a .zip file. However, gaining root access implies in removing factory and default restrictions from your Android device, which means that starting from now you will gain full control over in built settings and features.
However, both operations (rooting and installing TWRP recovery) represent unofficial procedures that shouldn’t be associated with Google or with HTC. In that respect, you need to know that the custom recovery image and the root exploit are developed by third party devs and that you will void the warranty of your HTC Desire C if you choose to resume the lines from below. Since the warranty will be lost, you will no longer be able to take your phone back to service without paying for the technical assistance. That’s why, maybe the best will be to learn how to manually fix possible software related problems that might be issued on your Android device.
Since these tweaking procedures can be applied only manually, you will now need to make sure that a computer can be used. On the same device you also need to learn how to install Android SDK (for Windows check this guide and for MAC OS X / Linux go here). Moreover, the HTC Desire C USB drivers should be installed on your PC if you want to successfully complete this tutorial. A last recommendation for your computer: temporarily disable antivirus protection as some download procedures must be initiated – security tools might interfere with your work.
Now, for your phone, you will have to apply the following tasks: you first need to enable Developer options by going to “menu – settings – about phone” from where you have to type several times on Built Number; then, under “menu – settings – developer options” you need to check the USB debugging option; finally, you have to check the battery status as if the power left will be lower than 50% you will have to plug in the charger before doing anything else.
Being unofficial and complex operations, before installing TWRP recovery and before gaining root access you should backup your HTC Desire C. Through this process you should save stuffs like contacts, call logs, texts, images, videos, audio files, market apps, internet settings or IMEI / NVRAM or else you might end up in losing everything that you might need afterwards. Don’t worry, taking care of a backup is easy as you can download free distributed apps from Google Play, you can use a cloud storage platform, a computer or a SD card.

As you might know, after installing the official Android Nougat firmware on your Samsung Galaxy S6 gaining root access becomes quite tricky. The thing is that the regular SuperSU root exploit isn’t working well on the new Nougat OS that powers the S6, so you must find another way for unlocking your device and its new Android system. Well, the solution is to use a modified SuperSU exploit, an operation which will be detailed and discussed during the following guidelines.
The new Android Nougat OS is pre-loaded with new security patches and along with Samsung’s own security features that are running by default on your Samsung Galaxy S6 will make the root initiative extremely hard to fulfill. But, thanks to those of xda-developers you can now use a modified version of SuperSU which can successfully unlock the Nougat software that now runs on your smartphone. So, with this tutorial you can safely complete your tweaking plans as this modified root exploit is now ready for your device.
The root operation can unlock the Nougat OS and ensure a full access towards the internal system of your Galaxy S6. After performing the steps from down below you can remove the factory and default restrictions from your phone. Thus, in the end you can think in applying other custom operation in order to tweak the performance of your smartphone – remove bloatware and start-up programs, add new features and apps, install custom kernels, overclock or undervolt CPU frequencies and lot more.
As you should already know, gaining root access is not a supported process. The SuperSU package is developed by third party devs and not by Samsung so you are going to perform an unofficial operation. The thing is that you will trip Samsung KNOX while taking care of the steps from this tutorial which can be translated in only one way: you are going to lose your Samsung Galaxy S6 warranty if you choose to flash the SuperSU package.
Since SuperSU is a third party app, you can flash it on your phone only if a custom recovery image can be used – I recommend you to use the latest built of CWM or TWRP recovery in order to avoid further unpleasant situations. Thus, don’t start the root process without ensuring that a custom recovery image can be successfully used.
You can also make a Nandroid backup before starting the steps from below. This operation is here to help you avoid unexpected problems – the Nandroid process will save the stock Android Nougat OS that is currently running on your phone so if required you can go back to stock easily by using the very same Nandroid package.
In some situations after flashing the SuperSU root exploit you might also have to make a wipe in order to make things work properly. Therefore, a hard reset and clearing app data cache might be involved. That’s why, another precaution must be applied: you have to backup your Galaxy S6 before doing anything else, especially if you have something important stored on your handset. The backup can secure your images, videos, audio files, market apps, internet settings, the EFS folder, contacts, call logs, texts, IMEI / NVRAM data and so on.
Gaining root access is a manual operation that can be successfully performed only if you apply the pre requisites from below first:
- Charge your smartphone as if it will suddenly go out of power while you try to apply the steps from this tutorial, various software related problems might be issued within the Android core system.
- Overall, I recommend you to plug in the charger if the power left is currently lower than 60%.
- Hint: if something will go wrong and if you somehow end up in experiencing malfunctions on your Galaxy S6, don’t panic; just use dedicated manual troubleshoot solutions in order to fix everything.
- On your phone you have to gain Developer Rights – tap on Menu and access Settings; then, from About Phone tap repeatedly on Built Number until you notice the ‘you are a developer’ prompt displayed.
- From Developer Options (within “menu - > settings”) check the USB Debugging feature.
- The SuperSU modified root exploit must be downloaded on a computer first; so make sure you can use such a device.
- Your Samsung Galaxy S6 and its USB cord are also required as a connection between your computer and your phone will not be optional.
