I'm unable to Install Stock Recovery img, everytime after the bootloader loading the file,

a line saying "parsing PH06IMG.zip" then nothing happened, retun to bootloader,

and cwm image still there :(
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Format your SD card as FAT32 or flash a stock ROM.
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
My SD card already FAT32, any particular reason not able to flash the stock rom?

Cheers
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Re-format your SD card :P

It could be that some sectors of the SD card are not functioning properly. If that doesn't work, simply flash a stock rom (1.33 for example) and you'll get stock recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] droople:
Do you mean the image file is corrupt?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Not the image file, the SD card.. Anyways, either re-format the SD card or flash a stock rom.
[HTC ChaCha] pongzor:
Ok it seems i have a big problem.

I had the same problem with parsing the file and therefor i tried another microSD and reformatted it.

For some reason i couldnt get back to stock and described in the first post of the topic. Still parsing problem.

So i tried updating HBOOT to version 1.07 to see if that works or i a problem there too. That works, but now my phone doesnt boot anymore :X

So i went back to the HBOOT version 1.04 as i had (downloaded from other topic) Phone still doesn't boot?

Also when i try to install a zip file via CWM i get this:

assert failt: file_getprop("system/build.prop""ro.build.fingerprint") ==

and a whole load of **** giving me status 7 and not able to do anything :o

What can i do to fix my phone?

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 PM ----------

update* i managed to reinstall SuperOSR will report later if the phone is working again, lets hope so.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

phone works again, but still weird. Seems like i can't change ROM due to that signature error or something... can someone help me on that?
[HTC ChaCha] Justphemy:
how i can install stockrecovery??
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Rename it to PH06IMG.zip and place it on your SDcard then reboot to bootloader mode and follow the onscreen instructions.
[HTC ChaCha] Justphemy:
i did that too but it came up cwm again!!
[HTC ChaCha] ajeevlal:
did u placed PH06IMG.zip in root of your sdcard?
[HTC ChaCha] Justphemy:
yes i did,bootloader installed stockrecovery but cwm still on it
[HTC ChaCha] pongzor:
It seems like stock recovery is a pain in the ass, what i did was i reverted to the originals rom (that OTA_blablla_signed.exe file on the 2nd page)

Then you do your updates, then you can add CWM and then root your device again.
[HTC ChaCha] slangza:
I have a stock ROM, and unlocked bootloader. But when trying to flash PH06IMG.zip it eventually gets stuck on Parsing PH06IMG.zip

My sdcard is formatted as fat32

Any ideas?
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
Yep, wrong flashing method. This PH06img.zip flashing method (using your SD card) is designed for S-OFF devices. Go check the "unlocked bootloader" threads in General or Development section. Full guide is there for S-ON users with unlocked bootloaders.
[HTC ChaCha] slangza:
Sorry, i could not find the alternate method to flash PH06img.zip

See? There is a different method. :)

[HTC ChaCha] e.japonica:
will there be any update for cwm? i wish for a nand backup with sd-ext backup included.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
All in good time, sir! All in good time. :)
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
I asked adlx in this thread about getting an updated CWM recovery to use with ROM Manager, and he said he'd try building one - I mentioned the /sd-ext backup issue too :P

CWM HTC Chacha v5.0.2.7 by Adlx

I have built a 5.0.2.7 CWM Recovery, if you want to give it a try: http://www.mediafire.com/?crcwnigbr17dc8s ;)
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Worked perfectly fine for me. Done a Nandroid backup which backed up my /sd-ext partition fine. Factory reset option worked. Nandriod restore worked. Haven't tested the Partition SD Card option as my SD Card is already partitioned.

I had to fastboot flash it twice before it stuck properly - the first fastboot flash wouldn't boot if Power > Reboot > Recovery was selected in CM7, but a 2nd fastboot flash worked fine.

Using ROM Manager Premium to flash .zips results in an error mounting /sdcard when it reboots into recovery - this is likely due to no official ROM Manager support - the error it gives from recovery.log is this:

Finding update package...
I:Update location: SDCARD:/TitaniumBackup-4.7.4.zip
E:unknown volume for path [SDCARD:/TitaniumBackup-4.7.4.zip]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:/TitaniumBackup-4.7.4.zip
Installation aborted.
mtd: successfully wrote block at c7e0400000000
I:Set boot command ""

Again, this is likely due to no ROM Manager support. Not a problem. Rebooting into recovery manually and applying still works.

Thank you for your excellent work. Now the only thing we need is working ROM Manager support and official CM7 support, which will make this phone almost complete :D
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Packaged into PH06img.zip and updated first thread. Gave credits to you, of course.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Thanks Mike, how's everything going? Did you finally get a Chacha?
[HTC ChaCha] shb66:
Upgraded cwm with ph terminal using these commands :

Code:

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

Easiest way available to date , thx mikevhl n adlx.xda.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Yeah, that's what I always do.

Btw, I'll make it available though my https://market.android.com/details?id=com.adlx.recoveryflasher&hl=es so people with SuperOSR / CM can upgrade easily.

Do the stock roms also come with flash_image?
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
I'm running Stock atm and there's a flash_image file in /system/bin if that's it? Don't know if it works though as I do all my flashing in fastboot/HBOOT
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Sweet, I should have it ready later tonight then :-) !
[HTC ChaCha] qzfive:
Ack, disregard my last post - I noticed that this file was only 150 bytes and contained my Link2SD mount script - so sorry for the misleading post. What I wanna know is why Link2SD made a file called that. :confused::confused:
[HTC ChaCha] hermesdownloader:
It took me three and a half day to find out how, but now I can tell you guys the topic title can be changed to S-on/S-off.

It is possible to install clockwordmod with S-on, only the bootloader has to be unlocked temporary!

To do the thrick you need the files out of the first page, unlock the bootloader using htcdev.

Get rootaccess by using DooMLord V4. Don't use any option to get S-on!

Enter the bootloader, flash clockwordmodrecovery

TWICE!

. Afterwards the clockwordmodrecovery is working fine without S-off.

Start recovery mode. Navigate down through the menu three times. Now the back button will be enabled. Now backup all your files.

When you're done just copy the content of the backup on the SD-card to your PC to be sure you've got a backup of the old software.

Afterward go back to clockwordmodrecovery, do the trick scrolling through the menu three times again to unlock the back button. Wipe the data on your SD card and wipe the cache and dalvik cache.

Flash the rom you desire by using the option install zip from SD-card, I used cm7 for the test. Again: flash it TWICE! Otherwise you will be stuck at the bootanimation.

When finished, startup. Install gapps etc if you need them.

And you're finished.

You can relock the bootloader using the command prompt command "fastboot oem lock"

Now you've got a locked bootloader, phone is S-on, but is running CM7!

BTW: This is not my first post on XDA, I had serveral meizu phones before where I sorted the 3g connection part out to get these things running on the vodafone nl network which is using CHAP authentication instead of PAP what is more common. I can't access my old account anymore, my email is locked and I can't find the login settings anymore xD... So i'm not some stupid first post member that is trying to get other people in to trouble with there phone's ;)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Lol, isn't it exactly what I posted here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449681

Of course HTCdev Unlock allows to flash CWM recovery no matter if S-Off. It's just not the same way of flashing. ;)
[HTC ChaCha] hermesdownloader:
I saw you're topic but it is not complete, maybe you can add some things and then it will be a great topic to use. Some things have to be done twice before things are working.

First time the chacha flashes the software REALLY fast, but something is going wrong and that is causing problems with flashing the clockwordmodrecovery. When you acces clockwordmodrecovery after 1 time flashing it you are nog able to flash the roms the way it should be.

For the roms flashing inside clockwordmod this is exactly the same, at the second time things are working the way it should be. Took me a long time to find out what exactly is going wrong.

By the way, another thing to take care of: when you unlock using the htcdev method you have to install the android sdk to extract adb, adbshell and fastboot and the htc sync tool has to be installed to get the drivers.

After installing these things adb will allways run in the background of your pc! If you open the tools to root your phone, really stranges things are happening! adb is running twice and that is causing a lot of errors! Hope this can be usefull for other people in the future :)

Edit: maybe it's a good idea to make a dummy tutorial using the htcdev unlock method.

I think that the usercommunity for the chacha will increase rapidly when there is one.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
What you say about scrolling down the entire menu 3 times, can't you just use volume up-down-up? That always worked for me on any android phone. By the way, you can choose to compile CWM with the back menu entry on by default.
[HTC ChaCha] hermesdownloader:
Scrolling is working, but the powerbutton is acting as the back button...

Don't know if you mean that that command also enables the back menu entry.

When I scroll down the menu three times the powerbutton will afterwards act as the OK button.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Back menu is on by default in my cwm afaik, anyway I usually use the backspace key on the keyboard to go back, is way easier.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
The power button isn't too be used . Use the return key of the keyboard.
[HTC ChaCha] hermesdownloader:
Complete keyboard is not activated at my chacha, only the power button and the volume keys are working in clockwordmod recovery.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Oh, that is weird. Have you tried the capacitive buttons? I believe they work also.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Please inform me if you do not like me updating this thread with your builds by the way. I figured it would be easier since this thread is stickied so users always have a thread to find the latest recovery, but if you're not okay with that I'll remove it.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Ooh no no, it's fine by me, I just figured it could be a burden for you... For me it's totally ok. I opened another thread with a special colored edition, you can link it here of course if you want.

Btw, I really think the mods have abandoned us here... I have requested several times they sticky done thread with no luck...
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
I made a request to get a rom removed for including warez. It was the first custom rom for the chacha and still no action has been taken. Also, I have already updated my thread with the colored version yesterday, including a source link.
[HTC ChaCha] hermesdownloader:
They are working,

The home button is behaves as an back button, the list button behaves the same. the return button jumps to the top of the screen, search button has got the same behaviour.

So Ive got no other option than scrolling down the menu three times to get the power button working as an enter button.

Keyboard does not respond.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Thanks, please go to advanced, then key test. What are the return, up and down arrows and backspace keycodes on your phone seen from there?
[HTC ChaCha] e.japonica:
hope to have a flashable 5.0.2.8...
[HTC ChaCha] hermesdownloader:
Got my keyboard working now, flashed the radio again. Afterwards the keyboard was responding in clockwordmod recovery. :)
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I've fixed the issue with charging the phone when powered off.

Here is the latest CWM I have built for Chacha:

http://goo-inside.me/devs/adlx/chacha/cwm/recovery-5028-2-chacha.img

If you run SuperOSR or CM7.2 or any rom having flash_image, the easiest way to flash it is via my app 1-click Recovery Flasher, available on the Market (look for "adlx" and you'll find it).
[HTC ChaCha] shingo198199:
It worked. Yippy.
[HTC ChaCha] qtotter:
i flashed your recovery just after i bought the phone, and thought it was a chacha-specific hardware issue;-) i didn't even think it was because of the recovery. anyway, thanks for your update!! it works perfectly now.

Recovery Issue

I need help. I am stuck here.

I have done following steps.

1. UNLOCKED phone at HTC Dev. Now it says UNLOCKED in the bootloader

2. Installed CWM 5.0.2.7 using command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

NOW next step i have problem. I go into recovery and i select option "INSTALL ZIP FROM SD CARD". Once I select this option, i get a black screen with CWM logo. But i dont get anything after it. It just remain stuck there.

I searched but could not find anyone facing this problem.

I even installed CWM 5.0.2.8 with no help or CWM 5.0.2.3 with no help.

It just remains stuck there. Please help so that i can install "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"

My GOD, HTC is so difficult. I even tried SuperOneClickv2.2-ShortFuse.zip and DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip with no help. I just need to install ROOT softwares now.

---------- Post added at 02:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:49 AM ----------

if anyone else is having these issues, do NOT use the "power" button to select like with other androids... use "enter" and "delete" to select and go back in the menu
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I think I'm gonna change this behaviour... People are too confused.:cool:
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I've uploaded a new version of CWM 5.0.2.8, which enables the Power button to select options in the menus, as it is standard and it's what users expects ;)

Not for me, it shows 4MB in both the first post and mediafire. Perhaps you should try it on your phone or another PC?

On phone is same thing, TT say 4.5MB but when i download with tapatalk, size is 554b in folder, on pc same result.

Try to download and look at file size...

@adlx, your link from previus page is ok, only link on first post this thread is problem....

TT by Galaxy S
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
I've tried all the links in this thread regarding the latest release version and the same output is available to me, the 4MB file.

@above, I have the same problem here in Germany where the ISP does not allow me to download from different sites and the download stops after less than 1MB. You might have the same problem.
[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Downloads just fine and shows up as 4mb, must be a tapatalk issue? You could always use the mediafire link my post, though.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
To flash the CWM recovery on your Chacha, you can also:

. Use my 1 click recovery flasher,

. Use Goo Manager

Both applications are available for free on the Market. Goo Manager will also download roms and flash them directly from the app, like Rom Manager Premium.

Mikhel, would you link that comment in the OP please? TIA.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
It seems that ClockWorkMod has a bug concerning the 2nd partition of my SD-card.

When it was ext3, CMW restored it with ext4 (I had to change it to FAT to get it running again). Now since it is FAT CMW didn't backup it at all. Let's see if the new version will have any improvements there.
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
?

The ext partition should be the first partition, not the second.

The FAT should be the last one, and it's never backed up with CWM, as it's used to store the backups.

Or maybe I didn't understand you...
[HTC ChaCha] mabry:
Thats what I did, and it worked. If you ain't S-OFF, then make sure you are bootloader unlocked.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
It might be that you need superuser on your phone (you can find it on Market) first as you need to do "su" in adb - which asks for superuser access. Not 100% about it but you guys could try it.
[HTC ChaCha] Flexmaen:
Sure? I used Link2SD with the StockROM and it told me "2. Partition" as information on all the apps that have been moved to SD-Card. SuperOSR seems to use that partition too.

So, 1st partition (or /sdcard) of the SD-Card is FAT (for using it on Windows-PCs too), 2nd partition (or /sdext) is used for moving the apps and could be everything, but it seems that ClockworkMod has some problems when it is something else than ext2 (at least restore did not work with ext3 and backup was ignored with fat).
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
I'll check.

[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
To install an OTA you need the Stock recovery. You can install it back using my app from the Play Market called 1-click Recovery Flasher (you'll need to have a rom with flash_image, for ex CM7 or OSR will do). Or install a stock rom via RRU. Anyway, an OTA will probably only work if you are running the stock rom it was made for.
[HTC ChaCha] goran968:
Yes i am using stok rom and i need ota upate.I install stok recavery from first page with comand prompt and download ota update and phone reboot into recavery and then i have error" status7".
[HTC ChaCha] adlx.xda:
Sorry about that. Try searching in the General Chacha forum or opening a new thread there. It's getting off-topic here.
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
You installed the wrong recovery for your phone (probably). Check versions -> you must have the correct recovery for the correct version.

If you have a GSM recovery you cannot flash a CDMA rom and you will get error status 7. For example.

You could try flashing a different stock recovery (different version/region) and re-try the OTA update procedure.

That's the most I know about this status, maybe someone else has more info.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apols:
I have a transformer with a failed display (it still runs, but I can't access anything). Per ASUS' warranty instructions, HH Gregg will swap it for a new unit within 12 months. Based upon the posts I've read about the regularity with which these things crap the bed, I wish I could swap it for a different MFR..

Anyways, had a few questions:

Mine is about 40 days old, any chance the stock is better at this point?

I have a ton of personal data on there, any way to get it wiped without the ability to see the screen or have inputs? I have lastpass on it and multiple websites with my passwords cached, and the thing is synced with my gmail. I'd hate to have to reset everything.

Seems like all the tablets are currently the same exact HW. Any reasons for me to try and sell the new on on CL and get something else?

I had been fairly impressed with the thing before it crapped out, and then getting on here and reading the tons of problems people have had, I'm weary to just get the same thing again. I could always hold on to it, and return it later when there's a better tablet out there I guess.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1ackplague:
1) What's your build number? (first 3 letters/number of your serial). Mine is B6O and its noticeably better than the B3O and B4O models I've had. Here's a good thread with real examples of build quality between the different batches.

2) Edit: didn't thoroughly read the question. Someone on here might have a solution via NV Flash? I'd recommend looking through the Dev thread. I think that would be your only method.

3) In my personal opinion, no. There are no other tablets out there that have the mixture of performance, design, and screen quality that can compare to the TF. That said, some people have had issues with all three of those and its been noticed, not only on the TF, but some other Honeycomb tablets like the Galaxy Tab.

Definitely take the opportunity to exchange it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lehoule:
Correct me of i'm wrong but you can wipe by pressing both the power button and volume down for about 15ses. After that press volume up once and that's it
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1ackplague:
Oh, duh! Good point ;) Yes you can do this method (assuming your device is not rooted with CWM). The big issue you run into though is you have no idea if it started and if it finished and no way to check. I guess the one way you could confirm that it worked is to wait a while and assume it restarted and try to unlock the device by guessing where the lock normally is. If the lock sound is enabled by default then you should hear it. Hopefully someone on here can confirm whether or not it is on by default.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bob Smith42:
I noticed a few of our local HHGregg have the latest B60 series transformers. I would always go for the latest series, but I am not yet aware of any improvements in the B60 transformer (dock is another story).

HHGregg also has discounts on transformer stuff. I got my new B60 dock for $143 USD.

If your device IS rooted, you can wipe with ADB by issuing this command

Hi.

I cant seem to get my girlfriends wildfire to accept a overclocked kernel after i used Alpha´s new s-off tool, and rooted it. No matter what kernel i use, it never starts up, it hangs very long time at the screen, HTC makes it quietly (or something) and then i restarts?

Any suggestions?

And no, she dosent want CM, she wants sense :-(

Cheers and thx for helping.

[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
try max @691 cos mine cant work fine when over that
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
There might be a problem with that....he can't even BOOT.
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
then only one solution I belive :( ,reflash rom...then be easy on oc,step by step and nex time skip to sheck "set on boot option,then if it freezes it will boot stock @528 and you wil know what is max Mhz you can set, good luck :)
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
There's another problem with your idea...

Whenever he flashes a OC Kernel he's bootlooping.
[Wildfire General] luxandroid:
he should post what rom is he trying to oc then we will be smarter I belive,like this its just guesing... right

Edit:when he reflash rom he will be able to BOOT right?
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
Guessing from the fact he mentioned HTC Sense, I'm presuming he's using stock.

And yes, it should since ROMs install a new Kernel.
