Something happened to the file that had the instructions in it. All that I could find is what is bellow. The flashing of the phone went fine. I have the "mini-sdk for HTC Desire 626s". I can't find the instructions that I had copied online again. I don't want to try a different set of instructions because I can't afford to buy a new phone if I brick this one. I learned at the school of hard knocks on windows. Don't change horses mid stream. I need to get the phone rooted or my backup ISP plain won't work. I use an app called Easy Tether to tie my laptop into the phone via the usb cable so the laptop gets internet from the phone. In this apt complex the main phone company junction box gets mowed down by drunks quite a bit. So I plain ahead and have a backup ISP. I don't know how fast the ISP will be on this new phone. But it wasn't much faster then dialup on the old ZTE phone. But it beats having no internet period.

Once you have successfully unlocked your bootloader, you will need to flash a custom recovery (TWRP recommended). This recovery image will replace the stock recovery on your phone and allow to flash the SuperSU binaries in the next step.
- Connect your phone to the PC via USB cable and let the PC install the necessary drivers for the phone.
- Power off phone
- Reboot the phone into "Download" mode:
- While holding the Volume Down button, press the device Power button. Continue to hold the Volume Down button until the phone boots into "Download" mode. To confirm that the bootloader is unlocked and that you are in "Download" mode, you should see the following two lines at the top of the screen:
- "hTC download mode"
- "*** Unlocked ***"
- Once you have confirmed that you are in download mode and the bootloader is unlocked, it's time to flash the custom recovery:
- Open a Command Prompt (aka DOS prompt) window and change to the directory where you put the fastboot.exe file. If using the recommended directory, you would type this command in the Command Prompt window to change to that directory:
- Type "cd \HTC626s" and press [ENTER]
- Make sure that the recovery file is in the same directory (type "DIR" and press [ENTER] to see the files in the current directory). If it is not in the current directory, put it there before continuing (via Windows Explorer). Also, I'd recommend renaming the recovery image to "recovery.img"
- it makes typing the commands a little easier and reduces the likleyhood of a typo. So before continuing, you should have both "fastboot.exe" and "recovery.img" in the current directory.
- In the command prompt window, type "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and press [ENTER] - this will flash the custom recovery to your device.
