[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Well, the firs step was wrong actually.

It's PH06img.zip actually and you need the correct zip file for that. The zip file is signed and contains other information like the device and maker, in comparison to the .img file which is only the recovery.

Why is this difference? Simple: by using the .img file you can flash it via adb fastboot command. This is not available on the stock ROM though, neither on the stock recovery. That's why the .zip file is used the first time.
[HTC ChaCha] dftba:
Makes sense. Still don't know why the other two methods failed but oh well, fastboot did it in the end :)
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Folks,

I have the same CID incorrect error when trying to flash custom recovery. My device (India):

CHACHA PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-1.07.0000

MICROP-0557

RADIO-7.51.35.19

unlocked via HTCDev and rooted so far.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Try fastboot. I have added a huge CID list, yet for some (like you) their CID is still not listed.
[HTC ChaCha] hitanshu:
Thanks. got it working via fastboot. Now if only i could find a ROM with the front camera working!!

my CID is HTC_038 (via CID Getter).

but seriously, the instructions on the 1st page should include this as well, that would be good!
[HTC ChaCha] sabir786:
It didn't work for me. CID incorrect error. My CID is CID HTC__016 via cid getter.

fastboot command doesn't work for me either.

any hopes?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Are you sure you unlocked the bootloader?
[HTC ChaCha] basti84:
Hmm .. i tried to reinstall the stock-recovery but it doesn't work.

Downloaded the "Stock recovery" from the first posting

Put it on my SD-Card in the / folder ... rebooted ... something happend ... got no error ... but i still have CWM ...

What's wrong?

my CID:1111111
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
That package was a trial which I guess does not work. You could reflash the entire stock rom. That will replace the recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] Evil_Zo:
Mikevhl, where can I find the Stock ROM for GSM Europe or worldwide? It doesn't mater if it's not the latest version, it will auto update, but I need it completely Stock.

Also, I have S-Off and I hope that flashing that Stock ROM will not get me back to S-On.

EDIT: I managed to find it with google, thanks anyway ;)
[HTC ChaCha] abc_x3:
Hi, i put the PH06img.zip on my SDcard and reboot my phone into bootloader

It found this file automatically but i got this message:

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <Power> to reboot

My phone doesnt show S-OFF. It shows S-ON wit Unlocked on top. What can i do next? Thanks
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
You could post your CID..
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449681 and follow to detailed instruction post of step 3.
[HTC ChaCha] abc_x3:
I'll do it and give feedback soon. Im afraid of CWM failure wit wrong CID can affect to HBOOT because we cant change HBOOT in S-ON (unlocked) HTC Chacha.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Recovery, not HBOOT. HBOOT remains the same even if you have CWM or not.
[HTC ChaCha] abc_x3:
I did flash sucessfully wit CWM 5.0.2.7, but i could not get result wit CWM 5.0.2.8

Whenever i chose Recovery, it restarted.

Now im in CWM 5.0.2.7. Thanks for support!

I dont know how to show CID. I used to use GetCID but it showed lots of information. Can u show me the way. Many thanks :)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
You can use CID Getter from the market. Check the first screenshot.

[ro.cid]=[CID]
[HTC ChaCha] abc_x3:
Hi, it showed only [ro.carrier]=[HTC-Asia-SEA-WWE].

It didnt have [ro.cid] :(

I guess my CID is HTC_044 or 622 because i flashed steng keyboard fix pack and it works well.
[HTC ChaCha] kronflux:
I don't suppose anyone wants to make a blue version, to match cm9/ics?

not that color is overly important, but I think it's a nice touch xD
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
Hi,

My phone is a rooted EUropean, and S-on,

I have to use CMrecovery to instal arabic rom,

Will there be any problem, any tips?

thanks.
[HTC ChaCha] g0rnex:
failed to install, wrong CID.

Checked using CID getter and my CID is "HTC_203"
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Unpack the zip, there's a txt file with a list of CIDs, remove all of them, and put only yours. Zip again, and flash.
[HTC ChaCha] zeg392:
PH06img.zip to sd card

CID incorrect!

Update Fail!

Press <Power> to reboot

I get this error. My device is root, and the unlocking bootloader.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Read up ffs.. two posts above; what's so difficult?! Same problem..
[HTC ChaCha] zeg392:
Thank you very much finally did.
[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
1 click recovery flasher says that it doesn't support chacha ?????????????????????:rolleyes:
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
It should support CM and SuperOSR roms (mine). Stock roms wouldn't work as they don't have the necessary binary to flash partitions.
[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
CM 10 and it says "your phone isn't supported"
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
This is because CM10 update.zip asks for a different phone identifier in its /META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script. You can remove this check by opening this file with:

Linux: Gedit
OS X: Text Editor
Windows: Notepad++ ([URL="http://notepad-plus-plus.org/download/"]download[/URL])

And removing the lines

assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "xxxx" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "xxxx");

Hope that works :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
What does it have to do with 1 click recovery flasher?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Is it a CM10 build I have built myself? Or someone else's? Could you attach here the build.prop from the rom?
[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
Here is the build.prop from my current rom (CM10.1)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Can't read it from here, I'm on the phone... But I haven't released (officially) any CM10.1 yet. Builds from other devs are likely not to be supported by my 1 click recovery flasher, especially when they modified the product properties in the build.prop for no reason... ;)
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
when you say you havnt released officially, i see your un official release in goo.in :cool:
[HTC ChaCha] mrbtree98:
and on that topic, just to let you know adlx, i'm having problems mounting my sd card but everything else is great.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Isn't Phone.Apk crashing? Is camera working?

Sdcard will be fixed in next build Btw.
[HTC ChaCha] didije:
Just tried it. I was curious. Phone is crashing as soon as you make a phone call. Camera is crashing as well (maybe because of the fact that sd is not mounting). And lights are turning off every couple of seconds - but they turn on as soon as you press any button or touch screen. I guess that they are not automatically regulated (they all act up as a led lights).
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
Yes the phone.apk is crashing, not able to send or receive calls. I tried to use the camera but it fails to open since SD is not working
[HTC ChaCha] mrbtree98:
Sorry just tried it now and it does crash.camera doesn't work because of the SD card not mounting. But battery life is good as long as you don't leave WiFi on when you turn the modem off
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
in the latest build, the camera is still crashing. by the way do we need to open up a new thread for CM 10.1 development?
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I'll open a new thread...
[HTC ChaCha] CanYouSmell:
The first happy news i get this day
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Yeah I come from Defy where we only have a bootstrap recovery and it kinda suck (at least for deving, it's almost the same for end users).

Anyway what we need is root, either for bootstrap or using flash_image (or dd) to flash the recovery. Who could help uswith the root thing?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Updated a flashable package.

Please let me inform you on my stance. I've used the phone in a local store today, and must say it SUCKS! The keyboard buttons are hard to press as sh*t! Could just be because it was a dummy model though.

My interest in developing roms for this device is huge though, and would love to be the one to port cyanogenmod onto it. So unless someone feels like borrowing the phone for a while, to help out other chacha users, you won't see it made by me :(
[HTC ChaCha] HyoImowano:
First off, I agree that this device is less than ideal in many ways, but I'm obliged to use it for some time.

Second to that, when I try to flash this I get a CID incorrect error. I'm using an AT&T Status with Baseband 47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2, Build Number 1.23.502.1 CL84153.
[HTC ChaCha] inny2:
Got an S-OFF device... I will try to install in the next hour. Awaiting results.
[HTC ChaCha] osahiro:
The Japanese user has already succeeded to the installation of Mikevhl's recovery and behtash's rooted ROM.

http://d.hatena.ne.jp/ssknot/20110723
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Is it s-off? Might be my mistake in the update script. Really are unfamiliar with that and have just tried something, but since the japanese guy confirmed it works, I wonder what's different for him.
[HTC ChaCha] nukky:

it works with me :)

boot recovery like a charm in Clockmod recovery

Thanks you Mikevhl !

I have the same issue too => http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179155

How can I fix it with the clockmod recovery ?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
PM Sent, update.zip will be created and posted for everyone. Please do not discuss this issue any further, other than if you have issues with the update.zip.

Edit:

HTC AT&T Status keyboard fix attempt, can anyone confirm this works?

It won't format or delete anything, only the keylayout is changed Just flash through CWM

Download: update.zip
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Wow that really looks promising!

A dumb question, how do you trigger a boot to recovery?

What is the key combination? I couldn't find.

Sent from my HTC ChaCha A810e
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Boot with volume down and select recovery. I don't know how to get into recovery mode directly though..
[HTC ChaCha] HyoImowano:
I have noticed that my HBOOT version is 1.04, as opposed to nukky (who it worked for) who seems to have HBOOT 0.74. It is SHIP S-OFF though.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Updated the PH60img.zip with an CID list for every HTC Partner (was a lot of work!) should work for you too now :)
[HTC ChaCha] HyoImowano:
Ok, I don't know why my Status is retarded, but even the new zip doesn't work. Is there any way to check my CID, and possibly add it manually? Just a side note, I got my Status directly from HTC at an event. It still ATT branded.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I believe I've read somewhere that you can find it in settings.
[HTC ChaCha] HyoImowano:
Couldn't find it in settings, but found an app called CID Getter which reports mine as CWS__001. Couldn't edit the info file on my device myself unfortunately.

Through black magic and the use of an actual PC now that I'm home from work, I was able to install it just fine, looking forward to custom ROMS :)
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Thanks, I will add cws__001 to the cid list, kinda odd that I missed it..
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Guys, I know that I earned some respect among some of you, and am hoping you could do me a favor. Could anyone who is rooted install the talk 1.3 installer from the market and report whether video and/or voice calls work? I'd be happy to be the contact you're calling through gtalk 1.3, if you don't have someone else to try it with.

You would REALLY help me by doing this!

Edit: got enough results from the poll, apps2sd and funky window animations will be added. Boot and camera sounds will be removed. Facebook will be removed, with an optional update.zip to add it back. Rosie/Sense Launcher will be left, with which optional packages to remove rosie and add either adw or launcherpro.
[HTC ChaCha] geek78:
Thanks for your recovery : perfect !

PS : your french keyboard package doesn't run : error status 6 during the update
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
That's odd. I have had an report that the german package works, and they both contain the same script and signature. Could you try flashing the german package?

Edit:

Hurray, got stickied! :D
[HTC ChaCha] geek78:
Sorry but same issue : error status 6
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I would like to tell that on the 28th of July, it'll be both my birthday *hurray* :D and I will be going on vacation for two weeks. That means I won't respond to anything, and will (probably) have a lot of reading to do once I get back :p

Just so you guys know I won't throw the mute-hammer on you ;)
[HTC ChaCha] geek78:
LOL

for your french azerty update zip you need only this file. I have done the necessary changes ;)
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Awesome, I'll post it over at the other thread.
[HTC ChaCha] :
Fn+key map

After the ClockworkMod recovery, two of my Fn+key's map got switched with other characters. Before Fn+Y used to give me an @, which is what is printed on the keyboard, but now it gives £ (GBP symbol) while Fn+P used to give me ~, also printed on the keybpard, but now it gives an @.

Anyone know how to correct this to have it matching what is actually printed on the keyboard?
[HTC ChaCha] geek78:
You have to update chacha-keypad.kl and/or copy your chacha-keypad-xxx.kl to chacha-keypad.kl as i have done it for my azerty device (xxx = your language)
[HTC ChaCha] :
As far as I can see this is only for the mapping of keys to letters for use without the Fn key. My problem is only with the use of the Fn key and with only two buttons.
[HTC ChaCha] mamakap:
I too facing the same problem anyone willing to help?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Are you sure this is caused by the recovery, or have you flashed an custom rom/update.zip afterwards? If so, you should contact the rom developer.

greetings from Kroatia by the way, I found out after 12 days that they have free wifi over here and will leave in 2 days -__-
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
I wondered if you were back from your hols!
[HTC ChaCha] ThiloH:
Me keyboard-layout is messed up too.

And i can't Flash the German.zip, it stops with an error...
[HTC ChaCha] :
This happened right after the recovery without even using any custom roms...
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Could have something to do with the updatescript applied by the update. If you update using the 1.18 OTA from this forum, do you get the same issues? The characters should be fixed using the keychars file, by the way.
[HTC ChaCha] :
I tried the Superdriod ROM and it had the same problem as well. Right now I don't want to go back to 1.18 as the Arabic in this version is messed up. I have 1.22 that I got OTA.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:

[HTC ChaCha] johnnydeathmatch:
Couldn't install on AT&T Status

I had the same problem as the other poster with an AT&T Status. Checked the CID and it was the same, CWS__001. Re-downloaded the file and tried again, still no dice.

I did get it to work by opening the android-info.txt file in the PH06img.zip file in notepad and deleting all of the other entries under cidnum except for CWS__001. After that, it flashed just great!

Thought I'd post in case others run in to the same issue.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Worked like a charm from the first try. Cheers mate! :)
[HTC ChaCha] endabeljio:
mine HTC__004 and still not working :( hiks
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Are you sure your phone is S-OFF?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I guess there have been a lot of revisions of CWM by now already, I'd like to inform you that I will soon update the CWM port to the latest and greatest version provided by TeamDouche/Koushikdutta
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Awesome!

Btw, are your device files needed to build the recovery published somewhere? (Like GitHub ideally?). That would be handy :-D.
[HTC ChaCha] qbert456:
Thanks mike, thought you were away again, been a bit quiet!
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I know, I bought a blackberry (only because my gf bought one as well, to be honest) so haven't been busy with android lately. However I do miss android, I really can't complain about the keyboard. My next phone will be android for sure though.

I have no knowledge on pushing stuff onto github, but I basically just followed the instructions provided by koushikdutta, I'll bake in some of the mods I used for the custom recovery by me for the Desire Z, back in the days.

Edit:

Here is a link to see which mods I used for the DesZ, see anything you ABSOLUTELY don't want in your recovery? Tell me. Otherwise I will just release my modded version and the default CWM port for the chacha.
[HTC ChaCha] Cadabena:
Just a quick question, I can never get the backup feature to backup the ext partition, even when it's created using the recovery, any advice?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Hurray, finally got my monitor back on my ubuntu pc (my dad needed it for work).

Will update my ubuntu installation and provide you with the latest and greatest CWM5 rather soon! :D
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Okay okay, I'll turn off my "Lazy Mode" and give you an ETA for the CWM build, between tomorrow and coming tuesday it is. Which you would have known if you follow me on twitter by the way :)
[HTC ChaCha] Warudakumi:
Phew I was about to get rid of this phone if I couldn't get root! Haha same issue and CID here! After ur tip it flashed no issues thanks for sharing! :D
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Isn't your twitter restricted :p

I have built myself a cwm recovery footy the Chacha but the colors were like pink and resolution was weird. Did you modify anything to solve that? Or did you just not have the issue? Thanks in advance.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I did not have any issue with it, maybe you are using an old/wrong version of boot.img?

Edit: My private one, where I don't discuss any android stuff is, my android-dedicated account: @AndroidFreedom, or the button in my signature, is not.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I am, like I promised, working on the recovery and it should be released in no more than 4 hours ;) (The stock 5.x.x.x one btw, customized version will come later)

Edit:

Gotta extend that a little bit due to kernel.org being hacked and me having to find a way around it. Give me two days (tomorrow I'm @ my gf)
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
... And there you go :) customized version following, includes features such as advanced backup and disabled entries for updating from /sdcard/update.zip (who even uses that, anyway?)
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Purely awesome man, great job once again. Downloading in progress, installing right away.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I tried it on my Sensation and it didn´t boot. It was the customized version, though. Please let me know.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It booted just fine. Only one problem though.. It's purple.. I mean, seriously.. It's awfully purple. It looks like the images are being displayed in 256 colors. Got any ideas?
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Might have something to do with an upgraded graphic driver or something, nothing I can test without owning the phone. But I have some good news!

I am saving up for a HTC Chacha and currently already have saved up 100 euros. I could buy it second-hand for 150 euros so I'm close already, if you guys give me just a little support I will buy the device and get you a working CyanogenMod build :) Maybe MIUI, but no promises on that though.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Ah, that's exactly the issue i'm having with my build of cwm, the one I was speaking some comments above http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18202685 .

Maybe it's something that changed in cwm 5.x... I'll look into it. Mike you can contact me if you have any idea, I have the phone s-off and could try.

Btw, glad to know you'll get one! I'm willing myself to dev on it, my main issue at the moment is time, and motivation as there's very few possible users, as there's no easy s-off...
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
The Chinese fixed it somehow, take a loot at This.

They thought it was a good idea to screw it up with a ugly background though. I believe something changed in CWM 5 regarding the graphic drivers. I don't know for sure though, and I doubt it matters much since CWM 4 can flash roms just as good as 5 can.

The lack of interested people is a downside though, for sure. But I have been wanting to port CM7 for a long time now, I am doing this more for the fun of it than to help the ~5 users who want to run it on their phones as well.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Same here, i'm willing to learn porting CM to a phone, and the chacha is the one I have now...
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Then I will provide you with the CM7-base as well, and we can go on proprietary file-hunt together! :)

I read that you can use the XTC Clip as many times as you want to, is anyone willing to ship one to me? I'm prepared to pay for the shipping fees.

Step 1: Install Stock Recovery

how to do this ?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Install the original software version. Stock recovery is part of the stock rom. If you have CWM installed then you don't have stock recovery, instead you have cwm recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
The "here" in

Update: Here is the stock recovery.

is a link to the stock recovery, you can flash it from CWM recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] kngharv:
stockrecovery... what is it for

Dear all:

stupid question: what is stockrecovery.zip for?

Harv
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Well, it's for stock recovery.

The recovery from the official ROM.
[HTC ChaCha] abraham89:
i tried installing stockrecovery.zip from CWM recovery.. but it says installation aborted.. (Status 0) E:Error in /sdcard/stockrecovery.zip

why does this happen ???
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Hmm.. You can have only one type of recovery installed, either stock, either CWM.

Stock one is used for OTA updates only so put that on when you want to perform a OTA update.
[HTC ChaCha] abraham89:
but.. i kn its stupid... but could you tell me in detail how t get back t stock recovery ??

EDIT : OKKKKAYYY !! i didint d the reading prperly... installing stock RM RUU_Chacha_HTC_Europe_1.33.401.1_Radio_47.17.35.3033H_7.48.35.14_2_release_204385_signed

which should eventually give me stock recovery.. right ?? ;) :P
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yes, installing a complete stock rom will give you stock recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] abraham89:
i got back stock ROM and recovery.. but once i did

Step 2: Rename the OTA_blabla.zip into PH06IMG.zip and put it on your SDCard

Step 3: Flash the image by rebooting into bootloader

the phone boots int bootloader..

Loading PH06IMG.zip.....

Parsing....

and then just skips back to menu..

am i doing something wrong here ??

help me guys.. :(
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Package not properly build, thanks for pointing it out. I will remove that part of my first post.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
TO install OTA updates you need a stock recovery and the procedure is at follows:

- copy zip onto sd card

- boot into recovery

- press vol up + power

- select apply zip from sd card

- select your zip
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
and if you go back to stock recovery, i believe it will S-on back correct?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
That's a negative. S-ON and S-OFF are strictly related to the bootloader that loads before anything else. Once S-OFF you'll mainly stay S-OFF.
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
thank you, you are always online to respond!
